As soon as they turned the corner, Lady Wen Yu barged in with a group of people.
Green Waist stepped forward to greet Lady Wen Yu, "This servant greets Lady Wen Yu, may Lady be in good health."
Lady Wen Yu went straight to the point, "Where is Consort Yan? I saw that she looked haggard, so I brought Imperial Physician Huang to see her. "
Green Waist said slowly, "This servant thanks Lady for your generosity on behalf of Consort Yan. Consort Yan felt uncomfortable when she came back, so she ordered people to dress her up and take a rest. Please allow this servant to go in and report. Lady, please wait for a moment."
"No need, I will go in directly to see Consort Yan. Imperial Physician Huang, you should follow me." After she finished speaking, she took the lead and led the people inside. With her status, the palace servants did not dare to stop her. Green Waist did not want to be too obvious, so she signaled to the palace servant beside her and pointed at the yellow robe she was wearing.
The palace servant nodded and secretly moved towards the door. When no one was paying attention, she quietly slipped out.
Inside Imperial Concubine Yan's palace, bamboo curtains had been lowered. It seemed that she had really gone to bed. The heavy curtains had been lowered. Lady Wen Yu didn't wait for the palace maids to move. She directly lifted the curtains layer by layer and went inside.
When she lifted the last layer, she saw that the person beside Consort Yan was either Xia Zhi or Winter Solstice. She was holding the clothes that "Consort Yan" took off and stood in front of the mica screen. Lady Wen Yu walked around her and scanned the room. Only one side of the plain bed curtain was down, and there seemed to be a person lying on the bed. The jewelry that was removed from the dressing table was placed casually.
"Consort Yan meimei?"
The person on the bed did not respond. Heye, who was beside Madam Wen Yu, quickly stepped forward and pulled open the bed curtain. The person who was sleeping on the bed originally had her back facing them. As if she was disturbed, she slowly turned around with a tired face. Who else could it be other than Bai Suyan?
She propped herself up slightly, "What happened? Why are there so many people here?"
Lady Wen Yu carefully looked at her face and smiled, "I saw that meimei's complexion was not good today, so I was a little worried and specially came to see you. I even brought Imperial Physician Huang."
Huang Yan bowed, "This servant greets Consort Yan."
Bai Suyan did not look at him and sat up by herself. At this moment, the head palace maid, who had hurriedly put away her clothes, took her outer clothes and quickly walked in. She covered her up and placed two cushions behind her back.
Bai Suyan then opened her mouth, "Thank you for your concern, Lady Wen Yu. It's just that there have been so many things happening these past few days, so I can't help but feel a little tired. I'll be fine after a short nap, there's no need to trouble the imperial physician."
Lady Wen Yu did not insist. She slowly scanned the simple layout of the palace and said, "Meimei, it's fine that the decorations are simple, but why are the people around you so few?"
As soon as she finished speaking, another palace maid who was Consort Yan's dowry came in with a bowl of brown medicine. When she saw her, she hurriedly curtsied, "This servant, Winter Solstice, greets Lady Wen Yu."
Bai Suyan smiled, "It's good to have fewer people. If there are too many, it will be messy. There's no need to fill up such a small place. It's annoying."
Lady Wen Yu said, "Meimei, you are born in a military family. You are different from us, who are raised in a boudoir. But I came because I have something to tell you. Don't forget what we agreed on before." Her words were half probing and half hinting.
Xia Zhi and Winter Solstice were both shocked. These days, Lady Wen Yu had instructed them to do many things. They did not know which one she was referring to. There seemed to be one specific thing that she specifically instructed them to do. They did not know how to remind their master.
Bai Suyan rubbed her temples and looked tired, "I'm afraid I'll have to push everything to Lady again."
Lady Wen Yu did not expect her to push the responsibility of being an assistant so easily. She thought that she would have to beat around the bush for a long time. Since she had achieved her goal, she would not pester her, "What are you saying? We are all sisters. Since you are tired, then have a good rest. I won't disturb you."
Bai Suyan folded her hands at her waist on the bed and bowed, "Thank you very much."
Lady Wen Yu left quickly and did not even ask the imperial physician to stay. When they were gone, Bai Suyan turned to one side and began to cough violently. Her originally pale cheeks were dyed with an unhealthy red color. She only stopped coughing when she coughed out blood.
Xia Zhi subconsciously rushed forward to help her, but she immediately retracted her hand when she heard the word "pain". If Bai Suyan was not in so much pain, she would not have made a sound.
Winter Solstice quickly walked forward with a tray, "Niangniang, you will feel better after drinking this bowl of medicine!"
"Niangniang, please bear with it." Xia Zhi carefully fed Bai Suyan the medicine and put down the bowl. She wanted to help her up but did not dare to, for fear of hurting her again.
Bai Suyan felt that the needle-like pain in her body gradually became bearable numbness. She slowly gasped, "What happened in the palace today?"
Winter Solstice looked outside and bent down to whisper, "Consort Wang was blessed by the Empress Dowager not long ago. Today, Qin Guiren was promoted to Concubine Qing. The Empress Dowager was not happy. Concubine Qing was not fully recovered and fell again."
At first, Bai Suyan heard "Concubine Qing" as "poor". After listening for a while, she realized that they were talking about the Chin Clan. She asked, "Which 'Qing'?"
Xia Zhi said, "'Qing' as in the history of the Qing Dynasty."
Bai Suyan went through the meaning of the word "Qing" in her mind. She looked up and down but could not think of a suitable meaning. Instead, it lost the dignity of the imperial family.
Xia Zhi saw her strange expression and asked, "Niangniang, is there something wrong?"
Bai Suyan shook her head, "I can't think of anything. How is Concubine Qing now?"
Winter Solstice handed the tray to the little palace maids and asked them to leave. She came back and said, "When we came back, the Imperial Physician Of Qin had already arrived. There should be no problems."
Bai Suyan was just asking casually. She suddenly returned to the palace because Qin Buxun had received news that his niece's condition had worsened. There was still a day before her medicinal bath and acupuncture treatment. She might not be able to make it back in time. Thus, he had no choice but to bring her along.
She rushed back in a hurry. In addition, her body was suffering from the side effects of martial arts. She had not slept for many days. Now that she was lying on the soft bed, she was drowsy.
"Niangniang, if you are tired, you can sleep for a while!" Xia Zhi helped Bai Suyan lie down and kneaded the quilt for her. She looked at her thin face and felt distressed. She could not help but whisper, "When did our Niangniang suffer like this?"
Winter Solstice glared at her, "Don't talk so much. Stay here and wait. I'll go greet the Green Waist."
Fengzhi Palace, Green Tapestry Hall.
When Concubine Qing woke up, it was already afternoon. Her body was weak. Even though she had slept for a long time, she could not raise her spirits. Her eyelids drooped and she seemed to be half awake.
Cai Ju, who had been waiting by her side, was very happy to see her wake up. "Niangniang, you are awake. How do you feel? Do you still feel uncomfortable? "
Concubine Qing did not respond. She was lazy and did not want to talk. Cai Ju wrung a handkerchief and carefully wiped Concubine Qing's face and hands. The warm feeling made Concubine Qing feel better. She sat up and drank a cup of sugar water from Zhe Man's hand. Only then did she feel better, but she still did not want to talk.
Cai Ju asked, "Niangniang has slept for almost a day. This servant had the kitchen make shredded chicken porridge. Niangniang, do you want to eat some?" Concubine Qing nodded. Cai Ju then went to give the order.
Soon after, two palace maids, Zhe Man, brought over a small table and set it on the bed. "Your Highness, you're finally awake. Lord Qin said that Your Highness has been ill for a long time. Your body is weak, and you haven't eaten breakfast. Plus, you're tired from kneeling for so long, and your Qi and blood are lacking. You'll be fine after waking up."
You will be fine. "The shredded chicken porridge was simmered for six hours. The chicken meat was cooked to a pulp. It was fragrant and sticky in the mouth. Paired with the crispy pickled melon, it was very appetizing. Unknowingly, she ate two bowls before she stopped.
Only then did Concubine Qing ask, "Consort Yan also came back with jiujiu?"
Cai Ju saw that her master had stopped eating. She had the two palace maids tidy up the dishes and move the small table away. Then, she waved her hand to let them leave. Zhe Man then said, "She came back. Right now she is in Liuying Hall. As soon as she came back, she ran into Lady Wen Yu looking for trouble. She was really unlucky."
Concubine Qing did not say anything. She only narrowed her eyes. Unlucky?
Consort Wang had just given birth not long ago. She was already impatient to borrow Lady Wen Yu's hand to interfere in palace affairs. One after the other, she took away both Consort Yan's and Consort Wang's power. As the saying goes, wisdom is easy to be hurt, deep love is not long-lived. Unfortunately, she had both of these qualities.
When Bai Suyan woke up, night had already fallen. She could vaguely see a person sitting on a small bed facing a palace lamp. His silhouette was hazy and gentle. She could hear the sound of him flipping through the pages of the book in his hand.
She used her fingers to push open the curtain. It was Luoshuanga. He seemed to have just taken a bath. His hair was slightly damp. He had changed into a fur coat and put on a coat. He was reading the "War State Policy" while facing the candlelight.
"You're awake? I ordered the servants to cook some porridge. Get up and eat some before you sleep! "
Bai Suyan's mind was originally a bit muddled. When she heard this, she immediately sobered up. She lifted the quilt and knelt on the bed, "This … this concubine kowtows in salute to Your Imperial Majesty. May Your Imperial Majesty be blessed by Kim On."
Luoshuanga put down the book and gently said, "You may dispense with the formalities. Your health is not good. In the future, you may dispense with the formalities."
"Thank you, Your Imperial Majesty." Even so, after being dispensed with, Bai Suyan did not lie down. She directly got off the bed. Winter Solstice, who was waiting on the side, unfolded a cloak and wrapped it around her body. Xia Zhi directed two little palace maids to arrange the porridge and side dishes on the table.
Bai Suyan sat down opposite Luoshuanga. Looking at the supper that was too sumptuous for one person, she casually asked, "I wonder if Your Imperial Majesty would like to eat some?"
Luoshuanga thought for a moment and nodded. Xia Zhi, who was next to him, immediately stepped forward to set up new tableware. The two of them did not speak for a moment. They each washed their hands and ate.
Bai Suyan was really hungry. She only felt half full after eating two and a half bowls of porridge. When she raised her head and met Luoshuanga's eyes, she felt that she had lost her composure in front of His Imperial Majesty and was a bit embarrassed.
Luoshuanga was actually not hungry. He only picked some refreshing pickled melon cold dishes and casually picked up a few chopsticks before stopping. Watching Bai Suyan eat made her feel embarrassed. A rare bit of shyness appeared on her face. He immediately felt that she was cute, and the smile on his face became more genuine than usual. "It's almost two o 'clock. Half full is good. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at night."
Bai Suyan put down her bowl and chopsticks. With the help of Winter Solstice, she rinsed her mouth and drank half a cup of jasmine tea. This supper was considered to have come to an end.
Luoshuanga dismissed the palace maids and ordered the twins to wait outside the door. Only then did he ask about the situation in Mu Province. Bai Suyan recounted in detail what she had seen and heard, occasionally stopping to recall.
