Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

73

Ling Xueyu quickly stretched out her arm to stop Gao Xiyue who wanted to chase after the Emperor and the Empress. She turned to face the concubines who were watching the excitement behind her, cleared her throat, and said loudly:

"Since the Queen is not feeling well today, let's not go to Changchun Palace and cause trouble to her. My Royal Concubine, I heard that the Emperor gave you a parrot that can speak human language a few days ago. I have never seen such a magical bird. Why don't you let me learn more about it today?"

After hearing Ling Xueyu's words, Gao Xiyue came back to her senses and noticed the look Ling Xueyu gave her. She understood what Ling Xueyu meant, so she withdrew her gaze from the backs of the Emperor and the Empress leaving, then waved her hand generously and said loudly:

"Oh? You've also heard of my parrot! That's fine too. If you want to see it, come with me and take a look."

After saying that, Gao Xiyue took the lead and walked in front, heading towards her own Xianfu Palace.

The concubines who stayed behind were not in the mood to visit the Empress at Changchun Palace, nor were they willing to go to Xianfu Palace to talk to the Imperial Concubine. After all, the Imperial Concubine had clearly told them to leave, so they would feel more comfortable if they returned to their respective palaces as soon as possible.

Therefore, the only ones who finally followed Ling Xueyu and others to Xianfu Palace to watch the parrots were Hailan, Su Lujun and a few people of low status.

After Gao Xiyue and Hai Lan returned to Xianfu Palace, they began to feel their eyelids twitching. Gao Xiyue first teased the peacock for a while, but soon got bored, so she lazily lay on the chaise longue in the yard and let her daughter rock her.

The sun shone on her body, warm and gentle, but Gao Xiyue could not enjoy this tranquility, and her heart was always uneasy. She frowned slightly and tried to press her throbbing eyelids with her hands, as if this could prevent bad things from happening.

However, the twitching of her eyelids did not stop, but became more and more frequent, making her more irritated.

Su Lujun has always been an honest person, and she is not favored by the emperor, so in this huge harem, she is the only one who is close to the queen.

She had witnessed with her own eyes the scene where the Empress suddenly fainted in the Emperor's arms, and she couldn't help but feel worried for the Empress.

After all, the only person in the entire harem who really cared about the Queen's health was probably herself, an unfavored concubine. After all, apart from the Queen, who else would show sympathy and pity to an insignificant concubine like her?

"My Lady Concubine, do you think the Emperor and the Empress had a quarrel? The Empress is usually in good health, how could she faint for no reason? Ke Xin, when you return to the palace later, send all the ginseng that the Emperor gave us a few days ago to Changchun Palace. The Empress usually takes good care of us unfavored concubines, and now it's time for us to repay her."

Su Lujun said with a worried look on her face.

Hailan's face turned extremely pale, and beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead. Her eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness. At this moment, she felt as if her heart was tightly grasped by an invisible hand, hanging high in the air, and could fall at any time.

Although she told herself deep down that her sister the Queen was most likely just pretending to faint, Hai Lan still couldn't suppress the uneasy feeling.

Hailan's fingers tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, and her lips trembled slightly. She secretly prayed that nothing would happen to her sister, and at the same time she silently thought about how to deal with it next. After all, the Queen sister had protected her so many times, and if she was needed in the future, she would not want to hold the Queen sister back.

"Ouch! It's so annoying!"

Gao Xiyue, who had been lying on the recliner, didn't know whether she was upset because of rocking her daughter, and now she jumped up directly from the chair.

Gao Xiyue's eyes moved, and she raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and set her sights on Shuangxi who was following closely behind her. A sly light flashed in her eyes. She opened her cherry lips slightly and ordered in an urgent tone:

"Shuangxi! Go to Changchun Palace and check if the emperor is still there. If the emperor has left, you must report to me immediately. Remember, you must walk quickly and do not waste time. Do you understand?"

Shuangxi responded respectfully, turned around and left, hurriedly heading straight to Changchun Palace.

"I will go right away, Master, please relax."

As soon as Shuangxi received Gao Xiyue's instructions, he quickly put down the round fan that he had just used to fan Gao Xiyue, and moved forward quickly in small steps according to Gao Xiyue's request.

-

With Gao Xiyue's joining, the content of their chat naturally became more gossipy.

"When I passed by Jingyang Palace a few days ago, I heard the voice of Concubine Zhang humiliating Xiao Dezi at the door. Xiao Dezi is an old man by Concubine Yi's side. Concubine Yi is very quiet, but now she is being bullied and she still doesn't say a word."

Gao Xiyue shook her head with a sigh. In her heart, she actually looked down on Concubine Yi's behavior of swallowing her anger in silence.

Concubine Yi and Concubine Zhang are both concubines of the emperor, and both are pregnant. According to their clean family background, Concubine Zhang is not as good as Concubine Yi.

Maybe Zhang Minmin saw that Concubine Yi always kept silent, so she deceived her superiors and concealed the truth from her subordinates.

Ling Xueyu sighed in her heart, smiled and said

"Noble Lady Yi has been hiding behind Concubine Xian for a long time. Now she naturally dares not confront the emperor's favorite concubine head-on. But Noble Lady Zhang is so arrogant. If she doesn't have the emperor's secret support behind her, no one will believe her. As long as Noble Lady Zhang doesn't point her spearhead at us, we don't need to pay too much attention. Princess Duanshu has returned to the palace recently. The emperor and the queen will probably hold a state banquet to celebrate. At that time, there might be some excitement."

Gao Xiyue and Hailan looked at Ling Xueyu with admiration, who seemed to be thinking about something. Su Lujun, who was standing by, had no choice but to imitate Gao Xiyue and Hailan and try to make her eyes look brighter.

There is no other way. After all, it’s never wrong to join if you can’t beat them.

As for Gao Xiyue, the reason why she showed admiration to a noble lady was only because it was proved that among the sisters they were on good terms with, besides the Queen Mother who had the best brain, the other one was Ling Xueyu.

……

Changchun Palace

Ruyi originally planned to pretend to be unconscious in the emperor's arms, but the emperor was always swaying when he held her in his arms while walking, which made Ruyi, who was already not getting enough rest, feel a little sleepy.

When Ruyi returned to her familiar bed in Changchun Palace, her eyelids were so sleepy that she couldn't open them.

When the emperor hurriedly sent someone to call Qi Ru, it turned out that it was Jiang Yubin who came back with Li Yu.

When the emperor saw that the doctor who followed Li Yu into the room was Jiang Yubin, his face suddenly turned cold and he looked at Li Yu with cold eyes. Li Yu naturally understood what the emperor meant. Seeing this, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor to explain.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Because Concubine Zhang seems to have had a miscarriage these past few days, I asked your Imperial Physician Qi to come to Jingyang Palace every day at this time to check her pulse. When I went to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician just now, only Imperial Physician Jiang was there. The Empress cannot be delayed, so I took the initiative to bring Imperial Physician Jiang back first. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

In fact, when Li Yu went there, Qi Ru had already stayed in Jingyang Palace for quite a while. If Li Yu had waited in the Imperial Hospital for a while, Qi Ru might have come back.

However, the original doctor who took care of the Queen was Jiang Yubin, so Li Yu discussed with Jiang Yubin and simply brought Jiang Yubin here.

In case the Queen was not seriously ill, Jiang Yubin would still describe her condition as serious. Along the way, Jiang Yubin had already heard from Li Yu the causes and consequences of the Queen's fainting.

I was the one who took the Queen's pulse every day, so I knew her health very well. I also had my own guess about her fainting.

Moreover, Concubine Zhang has been taking advantage of her favor to abuse her power in the Imperial Medical Bureau recently. As the Empress's person, she will naturally not miss this opportunity.
