don't take me for fun

There are rumors in the palace again that Beauty Moon has fallen out of favor.Or it can be said that Beauty Moon is not as favored as before.

The emperor has changed obviously recently. He no longer stays in the moon palace with a hangover every night, but like before the emperor was canonized, he favors his concubines with a flop, and even those concubines who are not favored will always be blessed.

In this way, some families are happy and some are sad.The most obvious one is Zuiyue.

People in the brothel, before entering the brothel, suffered from poverty and starvation. After entering the brothel, although they have no worries about food and clothing, they have to endure the abuse of clients.If someone is willing to redeem their lives for them, it will be a blessing after several lifetimes of cultivation.The master's family treats them as wives and concubines, so it is natural to be grateful, and if they are left out, they can't complain.But as the saying goes, it is easy to go from simple to extravagant, and difficult to go from extravagant to simple. The higher you are lifted, the more painful it will be to fall.Zuiyue was once favored, but now that this honor is gone, she is naturally not reconciled.But this palace is no better than other places. The concubines are not from prominent families. It would be good if they are lucky not to be noticed, but if they really offend someone, the one who suffers is themselves.Even if it is Zhanli, the emperor will not spoil the harmony of the court because of a young man in a brothel.It was his luck to be favored by the emperor, but to keep this luck, he needed careful management.Being favored a few days ago has already caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but now that he is out of favor, the most important thing is to be wise and safe.

"Sister Chen, have you seen Concubine Zhao recently? I haven't seen her for a few days." Concubine Zhao has not been to Xianyun Palace for some time. The relationship is still there, and it is inevitable that I am a little worried if I haven't seen her for a few days.

Concubine Chen Gui sighed, "Sister Zhao has not been in good health recently. I went to her place yesterday and saw her lying ill in bed. It is said that she has contracted a cold and needs to recuperate for a while."

"Is it serious?" Li San couldn't help asking.

"She keeps saying she's fine, but I see her complexion is very bad, it should be quite serious." Concubine Chen frowned, listening to her tone, Concubine Zhao was not ill.

"Then I'll go see Concubine Zhao later." Li San felt a little worried, and hurriedly called Xiaoxi to prepare some tonics.

Listening to Li San talking about bird's nest and chicken soup, Concubine Chen Guifei couldn't help laughing, "Why do you prepare these? Everyone's food and clothing are spent in the palace, and you have Concubine Zhao, so why do you need to prepare these?" Things are available in the imperial dining room."

"That's not the same." Li San disagreed, "Even if they are all from the palace, it's my intention to give them away, and it must be different from the Imperial Dining Room."

Concubine Chen Guifei saw that Li San was giving her orders one by one, so it was inconvenient for her to stay any longer, so she said goodbye and left.

Li San seldom went to the palaces of other concubines due to the fact that men and women could not kiss each other. This time he went there in person because he was sick.

As soon as he approached Concubine Zhao's courtyard, Li San understood why she said her Xianyun Palace was small.This place looks twice as big as Xianyun Palace, and the courtyard is clean and tidy. There are no messy bamboo animal swings in Li San's courtyard, but some potted flowers.Near the wall in the courtyard are several circular targets, which seem to be prepared for martial arts training.Li San thought of the dart in Concubine Zhao's hand that night, and secretly exclaimed, no wonder it was used so well.

The maid of the pass was standing at the door, and Li San stood outside the door waiting for her to announce, and did not follow into the room until Concubine Zhao's personal maid came out to greet her.

As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw Concubine Zhao who was sitting on the bed. Concubine Zhao had pale lips and a bad complexion, as if the blood on her face had been drained.

Concubine Zhao wanted to get up and salute, but Li San hurriedly stopped her and said, "You are sick, don't get up." Then, he took the food box in Xiaoxi's hand, put it on the table, opened the lid and brought out the chicken soup from inside , went to the bedside and put it on the low table beside the bed, "I just heard that Concubine Chen Guifei said that you were sick, so I came to see you. I didn't expect it to be this serious. What kind of illness do you have?"

"It's just a little cold, it's fine." Zhao Guifei coughed a few times while speaking.

Li San recalled that Concubine Zhao Gui was in good health in the past, and most martial arts practitioners had good resistance, so it was not so easy to get sick.But this disease is so fragile.

"I brought you chicken soup. These are made by the imperial dining room. Because I just heard about it, I came here in a hurry. Don't mind. I will cook chicken soup for you tomorrow. It is my mother's original creation. It is very nourishing." Li San felt a little sorry, but it's really not good to come empty-handed, so let's just let it go.

Concubine Zhao didn't mind, she took a few sips of chicken soup, then put it down, raised her eyes and said to the people in the room: "I want to chat with the empress, you don't have to wait here anymore."

Obviously, Concubine Zhao had something to say to Li San alone.

The maids in the room withdrew upon hearing the sound, Li San nodded at Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi also left the room.

After everyone went out, Concubine Zhao grabbed Li San's hand and said eagerly, "Empress, please do me a favor." Her eyes were full of pleading.

Seeing Concubine Zhao's excitement, Li San hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, just tell me, as long as I can do it."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Concubine Zhao relaxed slightly, and said, "This matter is not difficult for you, I just ask you to help me catch the emperor and prevent him from coming to my place."

It is not difficult to catch the emperor, but why?

Seeing Li San's puzzled face, Concubine Zhao could only tell the truth, "To be honest, I'm not sick. The reason why I'm so weak is because... I... just had a miscarriage."

Li San's eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief, "You...you...you are pregnant? Why didn't you tell the emperor, was it careless? Or..." Li San remembered the guard, could it be Because he doesn't want children?

"No...not." Concubine Zhao shook her head, "This child does not belong to the emperor."

"Is it..."

Concubine Zhao looked into Li San's eyes and nodded.

It's the guard's!If it was a guard, Concubine Zhao would want this child very much. As long as Concubine Zhao concealed it well, everyone would only think that it was the emperor's child and would receive more protection.Even if it is a miscarriage, Concubine Zhao Gui will be treated with more care by the emperor, so why cover it up?

"As long as you don't tell me, everyone will think this is the emperor's child. Even if you have a miscarriage, no one will doubt it. Why do you need me to help you hide it from the emperor?" Li San didn't understand.

"I killed the child myself."

"Why... why, you are not very affectionate with that person, why did you kill your flesh and blood." Li San was even more surprised.

Concubine Zhao shook her head and said sadly: "The emperor never wanted the concubines in the palace to have children. He didn't give any concubines a chance. Therefore, once the news of my pregnancy is known to the emperor, the consequences will be disastrous."

Li San suddenly remembered that last time in the imperial study, the emperor said that he just didn't want children, so there were no princes and princesses in the palace.In this way, Zhao Guifei's situation is really dangerous.

"It doesn't matter even if I am executed, but I can't let Brother Lian get into trouble." Concubine Zhao finally couldn't help it, tears streaming down a bank, covering her face with her hands, sobbing, "Brother Lian wants to take me with you." Leaving the palace, but how can I let go of the entire Zhao family."

Li San is not a woman, so she doesn't have so many entanglements, but looking at the crying Concubine Zhao, she can understand her despair.Not being able to be with the one I love openly, but being forced to kill the flesh and blood of my beloved, what could be more painful than this.

"Don't worry, leave the emperor's side to me, and I won't let him have a chance to come over. Don't be too sad, take good care of yourself."

Coming out from Concubine Zhao, Li San was very preoccupied.

Sure enough, no matter how strong a woman is, there will be times when she is weak.

Concubine Zhao is so pitiful, how can I not help her? !
