Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Concubine Jade stomped her feet unwillingly, bit her lip and retreated reluctantly.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Jade's back, then turned to Xiao Zimo and others with a cold face.

"Get a diagnosis!"

Lu Qingqing glanced at everyone, then slowly walked forward and sat on the embroidery stool beside the bed.

The queen nervously grasped the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and stared at Lu Qingqing who was diagnosing the emperor's pulse.

Concubine De Gui also looked nervous. A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Zimo's eyes, and he looked at the expression on the emperor's face, trying to find something strange.

Lu Qingqing, who was stroking his pulse, frowned slightly at this moment. The emperor's pulse was extremely messy. He seemed to be poisoned but not like he was poisoned, but he seemed to be fine.

At this time, Lu Qingqing raised her eyes and happened to face the little eunuch who was poking his head in front of the palace door. She felt relieved and slowly stood up with the corners of her lips slightly raised, and said to the emperor:

"The Emperor's body still needs to rest, so don't be overjoyed or sad."

The queen and others asked Lu Qingqing doubtfully, is the emperor's body really okay?

Lu Qingqing's reply was clever.

"Returning to the Queen, I want to say that the Emperor has been working hard for the country all day long, so how can he have nothing to do? But fortunately, the imperial doctors around him have been taking good care of him, and the Emperor's foundation is still very good."

After listening to Lu Qingqing's words, the queen wanted to ask more questions, but Xiao Zimo interrupted her mother first.

"Since Princess Chen said that my father needs me, I will not disturb my father."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zimo glanced at his mother. The queen looked at Concubine De Gui next to her, then she blessed herself and left the dormitory.

The emperor also closed his eyes at this time, looking listless. Lu Qingqing took one last glance and walked out with Chu Haochen.

Several people left the hall, and when the queen was about to speak, she was interrupted by Lu Qingqing with an excuse.

"Aunt, I haven't seen the little Thirteen and the little princess for a long time. Can you go and sit with your aunt?"

As he spoke, he did not forget to look at Xiao Zimo.

Concubine De Gui had long understood what her niece meant, raised her lips with a sweet smile, nodded and invited them to sit in the palace.

"Sister, let's go sit together. Maybe you haven't seen the little princess for a long time, right?"

A faint smile emerged from the corner of the queen's lips, she nodded slightly, and told the maid beside her to get the small gold bracelet she ordered someone to make for the little princess last time, and she just gave it to the little girl together.

"Slave, go get it now."

While they were talking, the group of people walked quietly towards Concubine De Gui's bedroom. At this moment, the little eunuch outside the main hall door behind him raised his eyes and looked at the direction in which everyone was leaving.

Then he called the little eunuch beside him and whispered a few words, and then he walked in the other direction.

At this time, Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen stepped out from the rockery and looked at the leaving little eunuch. They looked at each other and then caught up with the empress and the others.

Soon the group arrived at Concubine De's palace. The maids stepped forward and bowed to the masters, and served tea and cakes to entertain everyone.

"Okay, you guys should step back first, and be careful not to let anyone get close to you."

Concubine De Gui finally told her personal maid.

The smart maid leaned over and nodded gently, with an extremely serious look in her eyes.

After watching her close the door of the hall, Concubine De Gui asked Lu Qingqing anxiously.

"What happened to Qingqing just now?"

Xiao Zimo frowned, his face darkened and he continued to ask if she had discovered something?

Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen looked at each other, then nodded slightly towards everyone.

"There was indeed something wrong with the emperor's health just now, but I can't come to a conclusion about the specific cause. Moreover, I found that the people around the emperor were not safe, so I did not continue this topic."

She told Xiao Zimo what she and Chu Haochen had just discovered, and the queen frowned slightly and said doubtfully: "Could it be Concubine Jade? Is the direction the little eunuch left going to Concubine Jade's palace? "

Everyone looked at each other with doubts in their eyes, wondering if this guess was correct.

"If she is really the Jade Concubine, what is her purpose? To compete for favor? Or something else? She is a concubine who doesn't even have any heirs..."

Lu Qingqing's words made everyone fall into deep thought.

Xiao Zimo said in a deep voice at this time: "No matter what, Queen Mother, you and Concubine De Gui must be careful these days, beware of Concubine Yu, and leave the rest to your sons."

The Empress seemed to have found a backbone at this moment, her eyes were slightly red and she nodded gently, and Concubine De Gui patted her hand to comfort her.

Lu Qingqing took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to the queen.

"Your Majesty, this is a pill that can detoxify. Just take one pill at a time. Keep it away, Your Majesty."

The queen looked at Lu Qingqing gratefully, with a slight tremor in her voice.

"I have recorded Princess Chen's kindness."

Lu Qingqing laughed openly and said softly to the Queen that she also had selfish motives.

Concubine De Gui is her aunt. Xiao Shisan is still young in the palace and she has to take care of the little princess at this time. All these require the care of the queen, as well as her own sister...

She looked at Xiao Zimo as she spoke. The queen didn't understand. She raised her lips with a gentle smile and patted Lu Qingqing's hand to reassure her.

Xiao Zimo stood up at this time and said that he would send his mother back to the palace first, and then go back to the palace to make arrangements. The queen nodded slightly and then slowly stood up.

Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen stood up and sent the Queen off respectfully.

After everyone left, Lu Qingqing's face darkened, and she seriously told her aunt to be more careful recently, and to take the maid she had given to her aunt before wherever she went, as they would all know how to fight.

"Don't worry, my aunt knows. When will your grandfather and the others return to Beijing?"

Lu Qingqing smiled slightly and said that her grandfather and the others would arrive in the capital soon, so that her aunt wouldn't have to worry.

As she said this, she took out three purses and asked her aunt to bring one for the two children and herself. This one was to avoid poison. She also gave a bottle of antidote pills to Concubine De Gui.

Concubine De Gui helped Lu Qingqing lick the broken hair around her ears with a loving look on her face, and said softly that she didn't need to worry about her, she would be fine.

"Then aunt, let's go back first."

Lu Qingqing looked at Chu Haochen next to him, smiled slightly, and the two stood up and said to Concubine De Gui Fu Shen.

"Okay, I won't keep you here for a long time. Go back and have a good rest."

Chu Haochen and Lu Qingqing left Concubine De Gui's chamber and walked straight out of the palace without stopping.

The two horses drove to the front of Prince Chen's Mansion. When the guard guarding the door saw that it was His Highness Prince Chen, he quickly stepped forward to salute.

"My subordinates have met His Royal Highness Prince Chen and Princess Chen."

"Get up."

Chu Haochen threw the reins to the guard, picked up Qing'er from the horse, and led her towards the mansion.

At this time, the housekeeper came forward with people.
