The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

The Empress gave birth safely. Imperial Physicians Kou and Fang were rewarded for their excellent care of the fetus, and the Emperor granted them a five-day leave of absence.

The two of them rarely stayed home to rest and recuperate, preparing to return after their vacation to continue serving each other.

But the next morning, just as dawn was breaking...

The two were still fast asleep in bed when they heard an urgent summons from the palace.

There are imperial physicians on duty in the palace; unless it's something serious, they wouldn't rush out of the palace to find someone like this.

The two hurriedly got out of bed, hastily put on their clothes, and rushed to the palace. When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw Li Degui pacing anxiously.

"Two imperial physicians, it's extremely urgent! Come with me to Yaotang Palace immediately!"

What's going on? Has the sky fallen again?!

When they arrived at Yaotang Palace, the imperial physicians on duty were already kneeling on the ground, all sweating profusely and pale-faced.

"Your Majesty, may I ask what has happened to Her Highness?" Imperial Physician Kou didn't bother with pleasantries and stepped forward with his medicine chest.

Xie Ling sat by the bed, his voice heavy as if pressing down on a thousand-pound boulder, "Tangtang hasn't woken up since giving birth."

He hasn't woken up yet?!

Both Imperial Physician Kou and Imperial Physician Fang were shocked. The Empress gave birth at 3:00 AM on September 5th, and it was now 7:00 AM on the 6th, nearly 15 hours later.

Even if I'm exhausted, I wouldn't sleep for this long.

Could it be... that he/she is dead?

This horrifying thought flashed through their minds for only a moment, and neither of them dared to say it aloud.

Physician Kou composed himself and carefully placed his hand on Qi Yitang's wrist to check her pulse—the pulse was steady, calm, and gentle, with nothing amiss.

His brow relaxed slightly, but quickly furrowed again.

Actually, Xie Ling was not very restless last night, and even this morning, she couldn't wake Qi Yitang no matter how she tried.

If I hadn't still been breathing, my heart would have almost stopped beating.

The baby was born, and he came back. It should have been the perfect time, so how could this happen...? Xie Ling didn't want to ruin the beautiful moment with any negative speculation.

Seeing the imperial physician's changing expression, he asked in a deep voice, "What's the problem?"

Imperial Physicians Kou and Fang took turns checking her pulse and breathing before speaking cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Empress's pulse is stable and she is safe, but..."

"explain!"

"She just... fell asleep."

He spoke the last few words with little confidence, after all, in his decades of medical practice, he had never seen anyone who could sleep for fifteen hours straight.

The other imperial physicians breathed a silent sigh of relief; their diagnoses were the same.

Xie Ling was not satisfied with this answer; even if Tangtang was a heavy sleeper, she wouldn't do that.

"When will you wake up?"

The question made everyone's hearts tighten, like being called on by the teacher in a school. Seven or eight imperial physicians all lowered their heads, fearing that they would be chosen by the King of Hell.

Even Physician Kou dared not make a definitive statement. This situation was too strange. His pulse was clearly normal, so why was he so deeply unconscious?

Xie Ling suddenly flew into a rage, "A bunch of useless trash, get out!"

……

After giving birth, Qi Yitang felt as if a huge burden had been lifted, and she closed her eyes in relief.

But slowly, she felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, as if she were being dragged down by an invisible hand, falling into a deeper dream.

When she "opened her eyes" again, Qi Yitang found herself floating in mid-air, her soul almost transparent.

Then, she saw Ning Nishang.

"cousin?"

But the woman before her was dressed in a scarlet embroidered phoenix embroidered imperial robe, exuding extraordinary nobility, and was not at all the person she was familiar with.

When did my cousin become empress?

etc--

Qi Yitang suddenly realized, this is... the world of the original story?!

She had previously entered the world of the original story in a dream; in that dream, Xie Ling died in a mass grave...

This time it was Ning Nishang.

In the original novel, this vicious female supporting character met a tragic end, while the female lead ran away pregnant but was won back by Xie Jingyu. At the end of the novel, Xie Jingyu made up for it by giving her a grand wedding.

The ten-mile-long red bridal procession drew envy from countless readers, who said that heaven owed them a Xie Jingyu.

But Ning Nishang, despite being dressed in rich and luxurious clothes, did not look happy.

She sat in front of the bronze mirror, applying lipstick and drawing her eyebrows expressionlessly, but upon closer inspection, the eyes of the person in the mirror were empty.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has arrived," the maid whispered.

"understood."

Qi Yitang floated beside Ning Nishang and saw Xie Jingyu, who had become the emperor.

It must be admitted that power does indeed nurture people.

Even though he was chosen as emperor by chance from Xie Ling, he is now very different. Gone is the gloom and scheming of the past, and his eyes and brows now have more of the demeanor of an emperor.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."

Upon seeing Ning Nishang, he smiled and reached out to help her, saying, "You are pregnant, so I have told you that you do not need to perform the proper etiquette."

"Your Majesty is my husband and the ruler of the world. How could I possibly be so disrespectful just because I am pregnant?" Ning Nishang's voice was unusually gentle.

Qi Yitang felt a chill run down her spine as she watched this scene.

She used to think Ning Nishang was mild-mannered; even though Ning Nishang was mean to her, she never held a grudge.

However, the female protagonist in the original work is even more delicate and harmless, a beautiful but empty shell.

Is the original author a man?!

Xie Jingyu seemed to enjoy her dependence on him. "Xuan Niang, didn't you complain about the wedding dress being too heavy on your wedding day yesterday? Why are you still wearing it today?"

Ning Nishang lowered her head and stroked the gorgeous silk threads. "My parents died early, and I have been living under someone else's roof for many years. I have never worn such fine clothes before when I was in the Qi family. Today, I would like to wear them a few more times."

At this point, Xie Jingyu's expression darkened.

"It's all my fault for not seeing through that venomous woman Qi Yitang, causing you so much suffering. Don't worry, I've already sent her far away as you wished, and she'll never be in your way again."

"From now on, let's live a good life as a family of three... By the way, did the child cause you any trouble today?"

Ning Nishang's fingertips trembled slightly, but she smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The child is very well-behaved."

Xie Jingyu had not yet eaten after court. The two sat down, and the eunuch served them the meal.

Ning Nishang dismissed everyone and personally served a bowl of porridge. "This is porridge that I cooked this morning. Would Your Majesty like to try it?"

Xie Jingyu took the bowl, and couldn't help but compare the two women he loved most.

Xuan Niang is gentle and considerate, while Qi Yitang only wants others to serve her. She throws tantrums and acts bossy if things don't go her way, and she won't say a single kind word.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was an emperor.

He took two bites and said, "It tastes good, but you're carrying the legitimate child, why do you have to do it yourself? You just won't listen to anything I say."

"It's alright, Your Majesty. I enjoy doing these things for you."

Ning Nishang smiled gently, "If Your Majesty likes it, please use more."

Xie Jingyu, unsuspecting, took a few more sips.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if something had exploded inside his internal organs. He looked down in surprise—

Then he saw a dagger stuck in his heart.

Before he could react, a metallic sweetness welled up in his throat, and mouthfuls of blood gushed out.

"you……"

"The porridge is poisoned...!" Xie Jingyu's voice seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his chest, filled with disbelief, shock, and bewilderment.

He suddenly looked at Ning Nishang, "You want to kill the emperor?"

Ning Nishang still smiled, "Yes, I personally administered the poison, mixed with arsenic, and there is no antidote."
