His Rui

Zhao Zhang Wei collapsed down in front of Lantai Courtyard late at night.

Yi Huiqing got to know about this news very later…in the morning when she woke up.

"How is Wangye now?"

She asked her maidservant who was combing her hair.

"His Highness is feeling alright now, My Lady. The physician had checked already. He said that it can be because of fatigue and stress that His Highness suddenly collapsed."

Lin Daiyu answered her mistress. Yi Huiqing nodded her head. However, a part of her heart still felt pity for Zhao Zhang Wei as she remembered how Zhao Zhuang Chen was trying to find every opportunity to humiliate Zhao Zhang Wei on that night's dinner.

Was it weird that she still felt pity for him?

Yi Huiqing dismissed it as nothing. It was normal. She was also a human being with a normal heart.

When she imagined Zhao Zhang Wei as a child who just lost his mother, she couldn't help but think that how his life must have been in the Imperial Palace after Noble Consort Shu's death.

Zhao Zhuang Chen and Qin Wenya must have not been merciful to him. However, perhaps it was not that difficult too. He was also an Imperial Prince after all.

She came out of her trance when she heard her maidservant asking her.

"My Lady, are you going to visit His Highness?"

Yi Huiqing sighed as she pondered over the answer.

"Yes"

She whispered a few moments later.

She would have to visit him even if she didn't want to. After all, he collapsed in front of Lantai Courtyard.

After all, even though on the name only, she was his main wife.

"Her Majesty also visited His Highness."

Yi Huiqing turned around to look at her maidservant with raised eyebrows.

Qin Wenya also visited Zhao Zhang Wei. She had not expected this.

"Oh…"

She just whispered and Lin Daiyu continued seeing that this information had caught her mistress's attention.

"Yes, My Lady. This servant thinks that Her Majesty might have left by now."

Yi Huiqing just nodded her head and then stood up to leave her chambers.

"You should have informed me earlier about this."

She told Lin Fan. If Empress was in Xinhe Palace then it was her duty to be there to welcome her since Zhao Zhang Wei was unwell.

"But My Lady couldn't sleep well last night. This servant didn't want to disturb My Lady's rest and we can always tell Her Majesty that My Lady was unwell."

Yi Huiqing was surprised when she heard these kinds of words from her maid. Lin Daiyu had always been like her mother almost.

Advising her like her mother that she should do this and that. She should not back down from her responsibilities and should always think about Zhao Zhang Wei's well-being and how she could attract his attention.

She didn't blame her for all this. It was after all her mother only who had asked her to do all this. And in the end, she was just thinking of the ways that she thought would make her life easy in the Imperial Palace.

Lin Daiyu, in the end, was thinking about her only so how could she blame her.

Hence it was a surprise that she said this to her.

"Why is My Lady looking at this servant like this?"

Lin Daiyu squirmed in discomfort when she saw an amusing smile on her mistress' lips.

"Is there something on this servant's face?"

The young maidservant couldn't help but think this. However, when she raised her hand to touch her face, Yi Huiqing spoke

"No, I am just surprised that you said this to me. According to me, what you should have said was that I should go to Wangye's chambers before any other concubine so that he will see my considerate thoughts."

Lin Daiyu's cheek went red because of the embarrassment. She, of course, understood what her mistress was indicating to.

She twisted the hem of her dress and said in a low voice.

"My Lady doesn't need to be surprised. This servant just cares about My Lady. Before this servant used to think that My Lady's happiness lies in His Highness but now this servant knows that it doesn't so this servant will only think about My Lady from now on."

Yi Huiqing smiled as she knew that Lin Daiyu was saying the truth. She said nothing and turned around to leave and Lin Daiyu also followed her silently.

"Greetings to Wangfei."

Yi Huiqing nodded her head when Eunuch Zhang who was standing outside Zhao Zhang Wei's chambers greeted her.

"How is Wangye now, Eunuch Zhang?"

She asked the young Eunuch.

Eunuch Zhang was already feeling very sad for his master. Now after seeing that Yi Huiqing had come to see his master, he felt very relieved and immediately poured out everything to make his master's situation more pitiful.

"Wangfei must reprimand His Highness."

Yi Huiqing was startled to see Eunuch Zhang's teary eyes and after hearing his words. As she speechlessly stared at Eunuch Zhang, the young Eunuch continued abandoning any sense of shame for his master.

"His Highness doesn't take care of his body at all. He stays inside the study room the whole day and night and sometimes doesn't sleep too. My Lady, this servant is so worried about His Highness but can't do anything. My Lady must take care of His Highness."

Eunuch Zhang finished as he wiped the corner of his eyes with his sleeves only.

Yi Huiqing sighed.

She knew very well that Eunuch Zhang had been by Zhao Zhang Wei's side for a very long time so seeing him worry so much for Zhao Zhang Wei, she didn't doubt anything.

She was about to comfort Eunuch Zhang when she heard a chuckle sounded in the silent area. She turned to look in the direction of the voice and soon a sharp and cold voice of someone followed the chuckle.

"Is she even capable of taking care of her husband?"
