It's always been like this lately, making Chun Yu even afraid to talk to her.

But now that the master had asked the question, Chun Yu remained silent for a while before finally speaking: "Actually, in the early years, both the Queen and Concubine Shu had children."

"Oh?"

Lin Chunhuan became interested instantly and his sleepiness was gone, "Tell me more!"

"When the queen was still a princess, she gave birth to a daughter. However, the child was born with birth defects and died before she was a full month old. It is said that the queen was injured during the childbirth. The imperial doctor's diagnosis said that it may be more difficult for her children to have children in the future. In addition, after the emperor ascended the throne, I don’t usually go to Kunning Palace, so my stomach hasn’t moved yet.”

Lin Chunhuan nodded lightly when he heard this, not surprised.

The emperor is only in his twenties now, and will be even younger when he becomes the prince.

The empress was younger than the emperor. She was pregnant and had a baby at such a young age, and it was inevitable that she would suffer physical losses.

Gently swaying on the swing, the wind brought by it slowly swam across her face. It was extremely comfortable. Lin Chunhuan shook her head silently. Anyone who knows a little bit about medical science knows how harmful it is to have a child at a young age.

With a queen's background, it is impossible not to have a female doctor around her. If she wants to delay having a child for a few years, there are many ways, but in order to stabilize her position with a child, she still ignores her own life and death, which is ridiculous.

But also sad.

"Concubine Shu was the concubine who entered the palace at that time. She became pregnant within four months of entering the palace. However, she was unable to keep the baby. I don't know what happened to the slave."

Lin Chunhuan still nodded. Seeing that she had no intention of asking any more questions, Chun Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she could finally relax, her hand was gently held by Lin Chunhuan, her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to capture people's hearts, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Chun Yu's eyes.

Lin Chunhuan's hands tightened, "I didn't expect that Chunyu, our young man, is quite clear about what happened in the palace."

Upon hearing this, Chunyu's expression immediately changed, and he quickly pulled out his hand, kneeling to the ground without hesitation, and kowtowed one after another, and his forehead turned red within a few seconds.

The bright red is mixed with the mud on the ground, broken and eye-catching.

"My queen, please spare my life!" Chunyu breathed rapidly and clenched his hands tightly into fists.

She knew from the beginning that she couldn't hide it, but she didn't expect that she would be exposed so quickly, "Slave, I definitely have no intention of harming my empress!"

"It's just...just..."

Seeing Chunyu hesitating, Lin Chunhuan became more interested, "Just what?"

"It doesn't matter, just say that as long as your explanation is reasonable, you can save your life, how about that?"

Chunyu raised her head and hesitated for only a moment before speaking, "Yes... it's Grandma Xiang!"

"These things were all told to the slave girl by Aunt Zhuxi who is next to grandma. Aunt Zhuxi only said that if the queen asks, she will tell the queen. If she doesn't ask, the slave will pretend that she has not heard anything. There will be no more information. !”

Panic spread in her eyes. Chunyu knew how difficult it was for her to walk to her master. She was not afraid of Lin Chunhuan, but she was afraid of returning to the Huanyi Bureau!

When I open my eyes every day, there is endless laundry, which is better in summer. But in winter, my hands are soaked in the cold and biting water all day long, causing sores and ulcers, not to mention the unbearable pain. It's extremely itchy.

She finally crawled out of that hellish place, and she really... really didn't want to go back!

"Mommy Xiang..."

Lin Chunhuan frowned. This was not the first time she heard this name. She had received ointment from Aunt Zhuxi when she first accepted her favor in Weiyang Palace.

But after that time, neither Aunt Xiang nor Zhu Xi appeared in front of her, and it didn't look like they wanted to take credit.

For a moment, Lin Chunhuan was a little confused about what that person was going to do, "That's what Aunt Zhuxi told you? Nothing else?"

"Also... these are all old things from before the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, no, nothing more."

Lin Chunhuan's brows furrowed even more tightly, "She told you this, but she didn't tell you what she wanted you to do?"

doing what?

Chunyu shook her head blankly, "Your Majesty, Grandma Xiang is in charge of all the maids in the harem, and Aunt Zhuxi is Grandma Xiang's confidant. I dare not disobey her."

"But if Auntie Xiang asks this slave to do something that will endanger your Majesty, I will never dare to do it. I also ask your Majesty to be wise and never drive this slave away!"

Chunyu's tears flowed all over her face, and she kept kowtowing. The blood and tears on her face were mixed together, making her look extremely embarrassed.

"That's it." Lin Chunhuan sighed softly, got off the swing and helped Chun Yu up, "I know about this. If Aunt Zhuxi or Aunt Xiang finds you next time, you will bring him to me. ,do you understand?"

Seeing Chunyu nodding hurriedly, Lin Chunhuan breathed out softly, "Forget it this time, go down and wash your face with medicine. You don't have to come over to wait on me tonight."

"If you lose your appearance and behave badly before the emperor, it will be enough for you to drink a pot of wine."

"But the empress..."

Interrupting Chunyu's unfinished words, Lin Chunhuan sat back on the swing. In fact, she was still very sleepy. She didn't know if it was an illusion. These days, she always felt very heavy. "Let Gardenia come, she After all, she is the maid in charge.”

"It's not good to leave it alone all the time."

The master's words had already been spoken. Chun Yu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He responded and retreated.

After finally getting the opportunity to serve Lin Chunhuan, Gardenia is full of emotions and is very dedicated to her work.

Although she is nominally the maid in charge, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Concubine Zhibao doesn't like her very much. If the people below don't know that the person standing behind her is the queen.

Even if Gardenia just wants to manage these people well, it will be difficult to do so.

But Gardenia also knew very well that she was in the situation she was in now because she was the Queen's person.

At the beginning, everyone thought that a prostitute from outside the palace would not be able to get through the palace even if she was made a concubine. The Queen thought so too, otherwise she would not be allowed to come here.

Unexpectedly, on the first day they met, she would be kicked out by the precious concubine. Let alone delivering any news to the queen, it would be difficult for her to even gain a foothold in the Changchun Palace.

If this continues, once it loses its use value and cannot be reused by the precious concubine, her chess piece... I am afraid it will be scrapped!

"Gardenia?"

A soft call brought Gardenia out of her thoughts. Lin Chunhuan glanced at the already full tea cup and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"

Only then did Gardenia realize her mistake, and she quickly apologized and cleaned up the mess on the table. Her hurried look was very endearing, "My dear, forgive me, slave... I'm a little panicked."
