The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 286: Almost Burned Silly

Imperial Concubine Hua stepped forward and patted Jun Ning on the face, "Yiyi, get up and recite the Three Character Classic for Mother Consort? You can’t have dinner or go to sleep until you finish it."

Jun Ning did not get up or speak.

Imperial Concubine Hua called her several more times, but she didn’t get up.

She noticed that the little girl’s face was slightly red, as if she had a fever. She quickly reached out to touch the girl’s forehead and confirmed that she had a fever.

Thinking back, the little girl was acting strangely during lunch, eating only a little bit and refusing to eat anymore.

At that time, she saw the little girl being lively and cheerful and didn’t pay attention to her lack of appetite.

It wasn’t until now, when the little girl couldn’t hold on and fell asleep early, that she realized something was wrong.

Imperial Concubine Hua was filled with self-blame.

At this moment, she was no longer concerned about making the little girl get up to recite. She urgently ordered someone to call the Imperial Physician.

Whether Jun Yu or Jun Ning, what she feared most now was them falling ill.

Because the two children were twins, how could one have a problem without the other having it?

Through years of observation, she realized that Jun Ning was congenitally weak, and Jun Yu wasn’t much better. When the weather changes, the boy easily falls ill.

The Crown Prince, upon hearing about Jun Ning’s illness, naturally wouldn’t force her to study anymore but asked her to rest and recover first, leaving other matters for later. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The Crown Prince, along with Jing Shu, left first, planning to think of another solution later.

After the Imperial Physician diagnosed Jun Ning, he said she had a high fever due to overexertion and mustn’t get too tired in the future.

Imperial Concubine Hua muttered, "Yiyi just plays every day, doesn’t need to study or practice martial arts, how could she be overexerted?"

Despite her doubts, Imperial Concubine Hua silently remembered the Imperial Physician’s advice in her heart.

That night, whether at Weiyang Palace or the Eastern Palace, lights were blazing brightly.

The next morning, the Crown Prince sent someone to inquire about Jun Ning’s condition, asking if she still had a fever?

Imperial Concubine Hua replied that she was still feverish, then sent the person away. The plan for today’s schooling was postponed, waiting until Jun Ning was completely well before going.

Jun Ning’s high fever wouldn’t go away, and Imperial Concubine Hua stayed by her bedside, doing nothing else, going nowhere, just keeping watch.

Emperor Yongning, upon learning that Jun Ning’s schooling was delayed due to her illness, had no objections.

After finishing official duties, he often came to keep Jun Ning company, hoping she would recover soon.

Because of Jun Ning’s illness, the entire Weiyang Palace was enveloped in a sad atmosphere. The maids and eunuchs worked carefully, afraid to make mistakes or joke around, doing everything meticulously.

They all hoped the princess would get better soon so that everyone would not be so tense emotionally.

Outside, those unaware of Jun Ning’s real situation, especially the grandson of the Duke’s residence, entertained themselves by mocking Jun Ning on their first day of school.

"Is Princess Anle not attending school because she’s afraid to compete with me in reciting the Three Character Classic?"

"Young Master, it’s not that. I heard that Princess Anle is ill and that’s why she couldn’t come to school."

"Heh, ill? Of all times, she got sick today—how convenient! I think she’s just pretending to be sick to avoid competing, don’t you all think so?"

"Exactly? Princess Anle is just pretending to be sick to avoid the competition and avoid being called the fool at the bottom of the class in Shang Shufang."

"Yes, yes, that’s exactly it."

Jing Shu, upon entering, heard these messy comments and was furious. She gave those speaking a stern look and said, "You fat-headed fools, what do you know? My little aunt is genuinely sick, she’s been having a fever all along."

"Ha, you have a good relationship with her, so of course, you’d lie to cover for her," said the Duke’s grandson, "If I were you, I’d kindly step back, keep silent, come up here, and kowtow to me, and I might spare you."

"Dream on!" Jing Shu retorted without reservation, "Who would kowtow to you, a fat man? Who do you think you are?"

"Then let Princess Anle come and compete with me?" The Duke’s grandson said arrogantly.

"I already said my little aunt is ill today. How can she compete with you?" replied Jing Shu, "Another day, when she’s recovered, she will compete with you, and our bet will still stand."

Jing Shu did not shy away from the matter.

The Duke’s grandson, Zhang Zihao, wouldn’t let her escape either, saying, "Fine, I’ll wait for your little aunt to get better and then compete with her."

Jing Shu said nothing more, bringing her study companion to her seat. She glanced at the seat not far away where Jun Yu usually sat and said with curiosity, "Why hasn’t Little Uncle come today? Is my little aunt so seriously ill that he couldn’t leave?"

Indeed, she was seriously ill.

This time, Jun Ning didn’t get ill for no reason.

She was born congenitally weak and needed to be carefully nurtured. However, recently she’s been a bit aggressive in training to return to the peak state of her previous life, to have the power of self-protection.

The Imperial Physician was not wrong; it was a high fever due to overexertion.

She was sick for two whole days, and the fever almost drove people crazy. The entire Imperial Hospital mobilized to barely bring her back.

Emperor Yongning, whose hair had already turned mostly white from years of government affairs and provocations from neighboring countries, nearly had all his hair turn white from anxiety due to Jun Ning’s fever.

When Jun Ning woke and saw Emperor Yongning’s white hair, she cried and blamed herself for being too aggressive in her training, causing everyone to worry.

No matter how skilled a master or mighty a general, they must never advance too hastily, or it would backfire.

She understood this principle in her previous life, so why repeat her mistake this life?

Looking at Emperor Yongning’s white hair and Imperial Concubine Hua’s tear-reddened eyes, Jun Ning said, "Father, Mother, Yiyi was wrong. Yiyi caused you to worry."

"Say no more; it’s good that you’ve woken up, it’s good that you’ve woken up." Both said in unison.

"Brother Ah Yu!" Jun Ning looked at Jun Yu, who was sleeping by her bedside, "Brother Ah Yu must have been worried sick too!"

Indeed, while Imperial Concubine Hua cried daily fearing Jun Ning would suffer brain damage, Jun Yu felt the same.

Mother and son hadn’t relaxed for a moment these past two days; they stayed by Jun Ning’s bedside, never taking off their clothes, waiting for her to recover.

Now, Jun Yu, unable to hold on any longer, had fallen asleep.

Imperial Concubine Hua said, "As long as you’re well, everyone won’t worry."

Jun Ning rested for two more days, and once she was completely better, she went to school, according to Emperor Yongning and Imperial Concubine Hua’s wishes, from now on.
