"ok, I get it."

When Jingse saw that her mother's face turned a little embarrassed after hearing her address Zimu, she knew that the beautiful sister lying on the chaise longue would be taken into the harem by the emperor in the future.

"You." Empress Fucha tapped Jingse's forehead with her hand.

Empress Fucha saw that it was getting too late, so she kept Su Lian and advised Gao Xiyue to go back to Xianfu Palace to rest early.

——————Yanxi Palace——————

Suo Xin was almost numb from the cold. She hadn't eaten much oil in the first place, and she didn't eat enough in the afternoon. The coldness was even more obvious when she was hungry.

Seeing that Xue Ruoxin showed no sign of stopping, she began to persuade Qingying: "Master, let the guards outside go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to change some charcoal. If this continues, she will really get sick from the cold."

After what A'ruo had done just now, Qingying couldn't stand the cold anymore after the palace maids who had been shielding her from the wind left.

She thought that if someone tried to persuade her again she would ask someone to change the charcoal, but no one tried to persuade her.

At this moment, Suo Xin spoke up to give her a way out, so she took out a silver hairpin from her head that she thought was simple and elegant and handed it to Suo Xin: "Suo Xin, go ahead."

Suo Xin took the silver hairpin and was about to say something, but then she thought about how Qingying never cared about the importance of these gold and jade things, so she dragged her numb hands and feet and patted the gate of Yanxi Palace without saying a word.

The guards on duty outside in the heavy snow had long been resentful of this unexpected disaster, and now they were even more dissatisfied when they heard the knocking on the door from inside: "Why are you knocking? What's the matter?"

"Brother guard, it's too cold outside. Our two masters in Yanxi Palace can't stand it anymore. Can you please help us get some charcoal?"

Several guards looked at each other and nodded. One of the leaders said, "Okay."

Suo Xin handed the new hairpin given by Qingying through the crack of the door. The guards looked at each other, but no one took it.

Everyone thinks that the master of Yanxi Palace is really stingy.

It was another guard who took the hairpin, then took out ten pieces of charcoal from the charcoal fire they used for heating and stuffed them into the hairpins one by one.

"The girl inside, we'll help you light the last piece, don't catch it with your hands."

"thanks, thanks."

Qingying was a little bit incredulous when she saw that惢心 only brought back a few pieces of charcoal. Was she going to exchange the hairpin for these ten pieces of charcoal?

Qingying glanced at Hailan, who understood and asked, "Why is it so little?"

"Master, Master Hai, I just heard that there are four guards outside the Yanxi Palace. The hairpin that Master just had is worth about ten taels, and the four guards each got two taels, so what we got is charcoal worth two taels of silver."

Facing Qingying and Hailan's distrustful eyes,惢心 explained the rules of management in various places in the palace, but unfortunately Qingying and Hailan still didn't believe it.

In the end,惢心 had no choice but to put down the charcoal fire and no longer accompany the two of them. Instead, she went to where the palace maids gathered.

A Ruo sighed when she saw惢心 coming. She thought that she was not a good person, but there was really no need to exclude惢心 now.

She gathered a group of palace servants together to discuss how to pool money to buy some charcoal for heating. It was better for everyone to contribute some money than to freeze to death in the snow and ice.

"Sister A'ruo, I only have some change here..."

"I have some of that, too..."

……

A group of palace maids pooled together more than ten taels of silver, and it was A'ruo who knocked on the door to exchange it for charcoal. The more people they had, the more silver they could pool together and the more charcoal they could exchange for.

When several palace maids were carrying the coal back, they passed by where Qingying and Hailan were sitting. They bowed stiffly and walked away.

Qingying and Hailan both looked unhappy, but there was nothing they could do; the charcoal was bought with their own money and they couldn't say anything.

"惢心, come here too, don't stand there by yourself."

"I..." Just as Suo Xin was about to say that she didn't pay any money, Ah Ruo interrupted her: "One more person won't make much difference."

The other palace servants didn't say anything either, because A Ruo alone paid the money for three or four of them.

They are all colleagues. Although惢心's previous loyal behavior seemed like a stab in the back, it is difficult for the palace maids and eunuchs to seek medical treatment.

They couldn't just watch her freeze to death in the snow.

"Thank you...thank you everyone, thank you Sister A Ruo."

惢心 suddenly felt very aggrieved. On the one hand, it was the distrustful looks from her two masters, and on the other hand, if they had encountered this situation in the past in the Yanx Palace, Li Yu would have helped them out in some way, either openly or secretly.

But it didn’t happen this time, and not just this time, but also the last time she seemed to have not seen Li Yu for a long time.

In the past, because the Queen betrothed Lianxin to the former chief eunuch Wang Qin, he was still somewhat reluctant to avoid Li Yu.

Now I think I was really overthinking it, and I actually mistook fellow countrymen’s friendship for love.

In Yongshou Palace, Zimu waited until Empress Fucha and Concubine Gao left and he fell asleep.

When she woke up, the first thing she saw was Hongli leaning on the couch with his eyes closed and resting.

Hongli woke up when he felt Zimu's movement. He touched Zimu's forehead and was relieved to find that Zimu did not have a high fever again.

"Where's Qi Ru? Li Yu, ask Doctor Qi to come over and take a closer look."

Old man Qi Ru had suffered a lot. He had been busy until late at night and had just dozed off on a chair in the front hall when he heard the emperor calling him.

Zimu looked at the imperial physician who was already quite old, and felt a little guilty for forcing himself to take his pulse.

When Qi Ru was taking Zi Mu's pulse, his brows furrowed and relaxed several times, which made Li Yu, who was watching from the side, tremble with fear, fearing that Zi Mu really had some chronic illness.

Zi Mu would not admit that his current complicated pulse condition was caused by a small strand of spiritual energy he had separated to flow around his body.

"How is Qi Ru?"

"In reply to your Majesty, Miss Wei had a congenital defect before. It was not a serious problem at first, but after this incident, Miss Wei's pulse was disordered."

Hongli asked anxiously: "The pulse is disordered? How should we treat it next? What will be the impact?"

"Miss Wei will have to take good care of herself in the days ahead, otherwise her life span will inevitably be affected."

Other things were fine, but the words "affecting life span" hit Hongli's heart again and again. In his dreams, she was almost in every life...

"Now, will the high fever recur again tonight?"

"No, although Miss Wei's pulse is disordered, she will not have a high fever again."

"That's good. Qi Ru, you have to work harder. Come to Yongshou Palace every day to check her pulse."

"Sir, obey the order."

Hongli waved his hand to let Li Yu and the others leave. He sat down beside the bed, holding Zimu's hand and said, "Take good care of him. If he doesn't recover in one year, we'll take two years. If he doesn't recover in two years, we'll take three years. If he still doesn't recover in three years, we'll take seven or eight years. Don't be afraid. He will recover."

Now my son Mu can really understand why there are scenes in harem dramas where concubines become spoiled because of favor and concubines are in agony after losing favor.

The emperor of the nine-five states presented everything he could give to a certain person at a certain time period, and any woman would be confused.

"I'm not afraid, so don't be afraid. What time is it now?"

"It's just past the ugly hour, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty still has to attend the morning court, so you have to go back and rest, otherwise I will be worried. Doctor Qi said that I will not have a high fever again, so your Majesty can rest assured."

Hongli also thought that Zimu was too young. If he insisted on staying in Yongshou Palace overnight, the rumors in the harem would drown his own Miss Wei.

"Okay, I'll let Jinzhong stay and pass on the message to the Yangxin Palace if there's anything."

"it is good"

Hongli looked at Zimu's gradually red eyes and ordered: "Take good care of your body, live well, and live a long and long life."

"it is good"
