Before Xia Qiulian could reach the door, the closed door was pushed open. The chubby nanny pushed the door, and when she saw Xia Qiulian standing in the room, she was stunned, then bowed her head respectfully and stepped aside.

Concubine Chen's face was pale and weak, and she needed two maids to support her as she walked. She was standing by the door, her beautiful eyes concealed a dark light that people couldn't see through, and she glanced faintly at Xia Qiulian, unable to see through Happy and angry.

"Qiu Lian has met Concubine Chen." Xia Qiu Lian bowed, bowing her head respectfully.

She could feel Concubine Chen's displeasure, and her cold eyes swept around her.

Concubine Chen couldn't wait to cast her eyes on the bed in the room, that Yan Wanting who was lying on the bed and closed her eyes unconsciously, seemed to be sleeping soundly.

"No need to be polite, get up."

Concubine Chen walked to the side of the bed with the support of the two court ladies, and when she passed by Xia Qiulian, she finally called Xia Qiulian to get up.

Xia Qiulian raised her eyes, and when she turned her head, she saw that Concubine Chen had let go of the maid's support, and was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down quietly at Yan Banting, who was pretending to be asleep.

"Your Majesty, His Highness played a few games of chess with Qiu Lian yesterday. He rested at His Highness Qiu Lian because he was really sleepy in the middle of the night. He hasn't woken up yet." Xia Qiu Lian explained softly without approaching.

"Keep quiet, don't wake her up." Concubine Chen turned her head and reminded softly, the concern on her face was obvious, she reached out her white and slender knuckles to lightly rest on her pale lips, and there was a smile in her eyes. Somewhat dissatisfied.

As soon as she finished speaking, she waved her hand lightly, and the two maids and nuns standing beside her bowed their heads and quietly retreated. Before leaving, she still didn't forget to close the door gently .

Qing Yuan, who was standing at the door of the room, saw that Miss was still standing in the room with Concubine Chen, and bit her lips anxiously.

In a blink of an eye, the door was closed, and there were only Yan Wanting lying on the bed, Concubine Chen sitting on the edge of the bed, and Xia Qiulian standing in the middle of the room.

"She always sleeps on her stomach like this, and it's not easy to lie down. If she wants to lie on her stomach, she doesn't feel tight in her chest. It's still the same as when she was a child." Concubine Chen said softly, with a soft and doting voice, The white palm rested lightly on Yan Wanting's thin back and patted gently.

Xia Qiulian raised her eyes and saw Concubine Chen's extraordinary concern and pampering, she lowered her head and bit her lip.

"Concubine Xian is saying that Xiaoting played chess with you all night yesterday." Concubine Chen gently patted Yan Wanting's back, like a mother who puts a child to sleep, while looking back at Xia Qiulian with soft eyes clear.

It is completely different from the darkness when I first entered the room.

"Yes." Xia Qiulian thought about it, and replied softly and briefly.

"That's strange. Although Xiaoting likes to watch people play chess, she doesn't like to play chess with others. It's beyond my expectations to be able to play chess with Empress Xianfei one night." Xia Qiulian smiled lightly.

There was clearly a slight smile on the corner of her lips, but Xia Qiulian clearly noticed that there was no trace of a smile in her eyes, but a little more coldness on the contrary.

Xia Qiulian was startled, and the strange feeling in her heart became more and more obvious.

In the previous life, Yan Wanting had the best relationship with her, and loved her the most. At that time, Concubine Chen was jealous and displeased, but Xia Qiulian never thought about it at that time.

She only thought that Concubine Chen felt that the child she had raised suddenly didn't like to cling to her and fell in love with others, and she was dissatisfied and jealous.

She never thought much about it.

I don't know if she has paid more attention in this life, but she actually felt that Concubine Chen's doting on Yan Banting had something different.

It's not like a mother-daughter relationship, but rather, a possessive desire for the person I like.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Concubine Chen is only a few years older than Yan Banting, even if she is an older sister, she is just right.

"When Xiaoting was a child, she always hugged Bengong before she would sleep. Sometimes she was left to sleep alone in the palace, but she refused. At night, the palace maid had to lead her to the palace and lie on the bed of Bengong. Only then did she grow up and become sensible, and she became a little estranged from Bengong when she had concerns about her daughter's family. Even if Bengong asked her to rest in Jingyi Palace, she refused, always looking for some Excuses to shirk."

Seeing that Xia Qiulian was silent, Concubine Chen bit her lips and lowered her head to look carefully at Yan Banting's sleeping face. Her fingertips gently pressed against Yan Banting's cheek, but she didn't stick it on, but only a little bit away. The distance, the fingertips slowly slid across the air, as if copying Yan Wanting's face in the void.

The expression in her eyes was as gentle as if water was about to overflow. As she spoke, the chuckle on the corner of her lips was tainted with a bit of bitterness.

"I originally thought that she didn't like to sleep with others when she grew up, but I didn't expect that she would still like to rest in other people's palaces, but she didn't want to stay in this palace."

"Ms. Chen Concubine, you think too much. In Your Highness's heart, Your Highness will always be the most special person. It's just that His Highness did play chess with Qiu Lian for a long time yesterday. He was really sleepy, so he rested in Qiu Lian's Hall."

Xia Qiulian knew what she said, and she couldn't comfort Concubine Chen. Only Yan Banting's words would really listen to her, so she could only follow the preface and continue to make up the words.

"I don't know why today, I suddenly felt a lot better, got up early, and asked someone to bring Xiaoting's favorite breakfast to her hall to wake her up, and have breakfast with her, but when I arrived in her hall, But the people in her hall said that she did not go back to the hall to rest last night, and they saw Feng You on the way, so they knew that she had rested in the Jingling Hall where the concubine was offered, so they came to look for her."

Concubine Chen took a deep look at Yan Wanting, her slightly blinking eyelashes, and her pursed lips.Standing up suddenly, while explaining, he wobbled back two steps.

"Mistress, be careful." Seeing that Concubine Chen's gait was unsteady, Xia Qiulian hurried forward to support her.

"The breakfast that I asked someone to bring is placed in the hall of Concubine Xian, and it can be used after Xiaoting wakes up. It is her favorite food. I am a little bored, so I will trouble Concubine Xian to help me. Going out." Concubine Chen's body was soft with a faint medicinal fragrance, leaning half on Xia Qiulian's shoulder, her face was pale and tired, and she closed her eyes.

Xia Qiulian carefully helped Concubine Chen out of the door, opened the door, and the maid brought by Concubine Chen came up to greet Concubine Chen respectfully and skillfully.

"This body of this palace can't last long, and I won't be able to take care of her in the future. It's a good thing that she is happy to offer her concubine. In the future, I will entrust my sister Xianfei to take good care of the panting. It's a bit bad, sister Xianfei should be more considerate." When Concubine Chen left, she opened her eyes and stretched out her hand to call Xia Qiulian to her, and gently held Xia Qiulian's hand with her cold hand.

She exhorted softly, held Xia Qiulian's hand tightly, and pressed it.

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense. You are in good health. Didn't the imperial doctor say that you will be cured if you take care of it?" The silent old woman finally spoke, frowning and complaining to Concubine Chen .

"I know about my body." Concubine Chen let go of Xia Qiulian's hand, and said this with a calm face, her eyes dull and lifeless.

"Concubine Chen still needs to take care of His Highness's affairs. In His Highness's heart, no one can replace Concubine Chen." Xia Qiulian looked at Concubine Chen's empty and desolate eyes, and suddenly felt pity in her heart.

After listening to Xia Qiulian's consolation, Concubine Chen just smiled lightly and said.

"I'm tired, so I'll leave first, and today I'll bother Sister Xianfei to take care of Xiaoting."

Xia Qiulian watched Concubine Chen slowly leave with the support of the maid.

Her figure was thin and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

Concubine Chen is actually a poor person. In her life, the only person she valued was Yan Wanting. She wanted to take care of Yan Wanting all her life, but when Yan Wanting was just young, she passed away. Nor can she participate in the lives of the people she loves most.
