The next day when Ling Rong woke up, it was already daylight, and the time for greetings had passed, Ling Rong couldn't help sitting up in shock.

"My lord, are you awake?" Qing Yu raised the curtain and put a coat on Ling Rong.

"What time is it?" Ling Rong frowned.

"My lord, don't worry, it's just past [-] o'clock. The empress has a headache, and she sent a message early so that no one can greet her. My lord was exhausted yesterday, do you want to sleep a little longer?" Qingyu said with a smile.

"Why did the Empress suddenly have a headache? Is there a Xuanren servant?" Ling Rong asked with a sigh of relief.

"The Jingren Palace only sent someone to invite Doctor Zhang to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and did not announce the sickness. After the emperor went to court, he went to Jingren Palace to visit. He only said that the empress was not feeling well, and all matters in the harem were temporarily left to Concubine Hua. Your Majesty has full authority to deal with it, and Concubine Qi will assist you." Qingyu came along one by one.

"Is there any movement at Yikun Palace?" Ling Rong asked suddenly after pondering for a while.

"I vaguely remember that after the morning court today, the Nian Mansion sent someone to send a very generous gift to Yikun Palace, saying that Mr. Nian was doing his duty outside, and I only hope that the nobles in the palace can celebrate the festival with peace of mind. That gift is really a gift." There are so many slaves coming in and out one after another, and it took a while to clean them up." Qingyu smacked her tongue.

"So that's how it is." Ling Rong understood, and it was almost time to calculate the time.

The news that Nian Gengyao pacified the Luobu Zangdanjin Rebellion was announced by the emperor in public on New Year's Eve and celebrated with everyone.The timing would be such a coincidence, presumably Nian Gengyao had basically put down the rebellion before New Year's Eve, but he just chose a good time to present the good news.The emperor certainly wouldn't be completely ignorant, but just ignored or condoned these trivial matters; while the empress had a sudden headache at this time, presumably she had got the news beforehand, so she took a step back at the right time, so as not to cause trouble with Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua was already very powerful, but now without the suppression of the queen, she might become even more insane, Ling Rong couldn't help but feel a little worried, and only hoped that nothing would happen.

"My lord, the father-in-law of Xiaoxia next to the emperor is here." Baojuan came in from the outside and reported.

"Come in, please." Ling Rong straightened his coat and ordered.

"Slave Xiaoxiazi has seen An Changzai, and Anchang is in Wanfu." Xiaoxiazi respectfully knelt down to pay his respects.

"Eunuch, please get up." Ling Rong called out gently, and continued: "I don't know what's important for Eunuch to come here at this time?"

"If you return to Chang Zai, the slave is ordered to deliver things to Chang Zai." Xiao Xiazi turned around and took two small boxes from the eunuch behind him and presented them, and Baojuan hurriedly stepped forward to take them.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Eunuch, Qingyu." Ling Rong said with a smile, Qingyu stepped forward knowingly and stuffed a heavy purse into Xiaoxiazi's hand, and Xiaoxiazi retreated gratefully.

Baojuan put the box on the dressing table and opened it. One box was a pair of five-petal plum blossom-shaped silver step shakers, and the other box contained twelve flower hairpins symbolizing different seasons. They were not expensive but very delicate, very suitable for the mausoleum. Tolerant of today's age.

"Baojuan, go pass the meal, as long as there are sapphires here to serve you." Ling Rong ordered with a happy face.

"Yes." Baojuan retreated obediently, a look of disdain appeared in her eyes when she lowered her head, and Qingyu looked at her right.

"Qingyu comb my hair, let's use this pair of plum blossom swings today." Lingrong's words dispelled the anger that Qingyu had gathered just now, and Qingyu began to comb Lingrong's hair as usual.

"A single typo is all over the place. To confuse the enemy, it is easy to start with small things. Qingyu, give me a good haircut." Seeing Baojuan retreating, Lingrong said softly.

"Your maidservant understands, can the young master use two more flower hairpins?" Qingyu said with a smile.

"It's up to you, as long as it's pretty enough." Ling Rong said with a smile.

It's normal for pets to show off, isn't it?

The mausoleum that had been tidied up did not show around, but went to the palace of the concubine Jing, thinking of going to chat with the concubine Jing to pass the time.

Mei Zhuang was also there when Ling Rong went, his complexion was still not good, but his energy was not bad, and he was talking with his concubine Jing.Seeing Lingrong coming, he greeted Lingrong with a smile, Lingrong greeted him, and then took his seat, the three of them chatted one after another.Before he knew it, it was lunch time, so Concubine Jing left Ling Rong and Mei Zhuang for dinner.

Naturally, the concubine's serving ratio is much higher than the usual serving ratio, and it is enough for three people, and the concubine Jing asked someone to prepare ginseng chicken soup early, which is considered rich.

"The wild Changbai Mountain ginseng just delivered by someone at home is the most suitable for nourishing in winter. The two sisters should try it soon." Concubine Jing said gently, and the maids on the side hurried forward to serve soup for Lingrong and Meizhuang.

Ling Rong didn't refuse, and took the chicken soup presented by the maid with a smile, took a sip, and praised: "It really is the best wild ginseng, and it tastes very good. It doesn't look like the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room. Who has such a good craft?"

"Sister's tongue is really good, this soup is made by Nanny Liao by my side." Concubine Jing said with a smile.

"The craftsmanship is good, and the ginseng is good. The soup tastes very sweet. Sister Shen, what do you think?" Ling Rong asked after taking another sip of the soup, looking at Meizhuang.

"It's really a good soup." Mei Zhuang looked at the ginseng slices in the bowl, thoughtfully.

Seeing Meizhuang's expression changed, Ling Rong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stopped talking, and drank the soup with peace of mind.

"Sister Shen, why do you use so little? But the food is not to your liking? Do you need to send someone to the chrysanthemum hall to fetch your sister's share?" Concubine Jing asked worriedly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine's appetite has been poor since she was pregnant, the imperial doctor said it's normal and it's not a problem." Mei Zhuang replied.

"Since that's the case, my younger sister should take care of herself. After all, my younger sister is now feeding on one person and two people. It's not unusual. But since the imperial doctor said it's not going to be a problem, I think it's not a problem. Sigh, I'm not blessed, and I haven't been able to conceive a dragon descendant. , I really don’t know how to take care of my younger sister.” Concubine Jing sighed.

"Your Majesty, why worry too much? Elder Sister Shen is deeply favored by the Emperor. Now she is pregnant with a dragon descendant and her body is precious. I think the Emperor must have assigned an experienced nanny to take care of Elder Sister Shen. Elder Sister Shen will definitely be able to take care of her." Is it my sister who gave birth to the Dragonborn?" Ling Rong asked with a smile.

"En." Mei Zhuang replied with an ominous tone, and then lowered his eyes not knowing what to think.

After lunch, Mei Zhuang quickly took leave, and Ling Rong also left together, returning to his bedroom.

On the second day, news came that Mrs. Hui had gassed in her fetus, the emperor came to Cunju Hall in person, and Ling Rong rushed over immediately after hearing the news.

The servants in the Cunju Hall knelt on the ground, and several imperial physicians also came.With the emperor on the field, the imperial physicians were trembling one by one, and their medical skills suddenly became "superior", and the problems that could not be diagnosed before were now fully diagnosed!But as soon as the emperor investigated the root cause, everyone hesitated and said that it might be that Huigui didn't have a good rest, or that he accidentally ate food that hurt the fetus, etc., which made the emperor furious.

"The emperor calm down, the Dragon Heir in Mrs. Hui's belly is very important at this time, why don't you invite the head of the Supreme Hospital to show Mrs. Hui." The concubine on the side suggested.

"Go to the head of Xuantai Hospital." The emperor ordered.

"Hey." The little eunuch next to the emperor quickly took orders to leave, and after a while a thin old doctor came in a hurry.

"My humble servant sees the emperor..." The old doctor knelt down to pay his respects, but was interrupted by the emperor before he could finish speaking.

"When is it time to stick to these vain rituals! Go and see Huigui first, the dragon's heir is the most important thing."

"Yes!" The old imperial doctor got up tremblingly and went to diagnose and treat Huigui.

"If you go back to the emperor, Mr. Huigui just ate something that hurt the fetus by mistake. Fortunately, the time is still short. The old minister will prescribe a prescription, and you will be fine after drinking it for a few days." The old doctor was relieved and told the emperor. .

"Well, let's grab the medicine first," said the emperor.

"The old minister will leave first." The old doctor got up and wanted to leave.

"Emperor doctor, please stay." Mei Zhuang's weak voice came from the tent, stopping the old doctor.

"This..." The old imperial doctor glanced at the emperor, a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, can I ask the imperial physician to stay for a while? This concubine really doesn't know what the concubine ate by mistake. All the concubine ate these days were meals delivered by the imperial dining room. How could it be hurt?" Fetal matter?" Mei Zhuang said in a nonchalant manner.

"Since that's the case, you can stay with the imperial doctor and send someone to boil the medicine." The emperor said lightly.

"Yes." The old doctor had no choice but to write the pharmacy to let the drug boy to grab and decoct the medicine.

"I don't know what kind of things Huigui has used today? Can I let the old minister take a look?" the old lady said medically.

"I haven't had a good appetite these days. Today I only had a bowl of ginseng chicken soup and a few bites of vegetarian dishes, all of which are on the table." Mei Zhuang said, leaning weakly on the bedside.

"Old minister, go check it out right now, nobleman, don't worry." The old doctor walked to the table and checked the dishes one by one, and finally stopped in front of the bowl of ginseng chicken soup.

"In the words of the emperor and the nobles, this ginseng chicken soup has been mixed with radish. Eating radish and ginseng together can hurt the Qi, and taking it for a long time will hurt the body and the fetus." The old doctor knelt on the ground and reported.

"Your Majesty! The concubines drink this soup every day. They intend to take the lives of the concubines and the fetuses in their womb! Your Majesty..." Mei Zhuang called out in fear and anger.

"I will never let those evildoers go, don't get angry, your body is important." The emperor comforted.

"My concubine thanks the emperor for your kindness." Mei Zhuang lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Looking at the emperor's attitude, Ling Rong knew that the emperor would not seriously investigate the matter, and in the end he just picked it up high and put it down gently.In the end, those who died were just innocuous little characters, and the fetus in Meizhuang's womb might not be able to be saved either.This is the emperor, cold-hearted and cold-hearted.

The emperor appeased Mei Zhuang, then left the Juju Hall, and it was inconvenient to keep the mausoleum, so he comforted Mei Zhuang a few words, and then went back to his bedroom.

Sure enough, soon there was news that the eunuch, the head of the imperial dining room, had been dismissed and investigated for stealing himself and using carrots as ginseng. At the same time, some small purchasers and eunuchs and maids from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also dealt with. The "Cunju Hall" was also cleaned, many maids and eunuchs were replaced, and the Empress Dowager specially designated a nun to take care of Mei Zhuang's fetus, so that's it (liao).

When he got the news, Ling Rong was sewing clothes for the winter with Qingyu Liuli, and he just smiled lightly when he got the news.

She once owed Mei Zhuang a life, so she returned a child to Mei Zhuang, and she also tried her best to protect this child for Mei Zhuang.It's just that in the current situation, she no longer has the ability to do anything for Meizhuang, and she can't do anything anymore.I just hope that after this matter, Mei Zhuang can be stronger and more cautious, as long as he no longer has illusions about the emperor who is high above him, I believe that Mei Zhuang's intelligence can still protect himself well.

The end of the year is coming soon, and she also needs to plan for herself. The emperor is so cold and cold, and she can only rely on her own efforts to avoid being submerged in the harem.
