With things going on at Yikun Palace, Xia He had no time to pay attention to Changchun Palace. When news came from Changchun Palace that the Empress was about to give birth, Xia He was still a little confused.

"Your Majesty, the Empress's pregnancy is not even eight months along yet."

How can she give birth like this? Will the baby even survive? Xia He thought the servant who sent the message must not have checked carefully enough; maybe it was a mistake.

Chen Yuwei pinched her chin. "The Empress's health is not good, and there is a high possibility of premature birth."

Now that this servant has delivered the message, let's pack our things and go take a look at Changchun Palace.

As she spoke, Chen Yuwei put down the Buddhist scripture she had half-copied, got up and went to the inner room to change and dress. Xia He followed closely behind, fetching clothes for Chen Yuwei to wash and dress.

Chen Yuwei let Xia He busy herself, then suddenly asked, "What's the date today?"

Xia He whispered, "The seventh day of the fourth month."

Chen Yuwei looked up and glanced out the window, saying meaningfully, "It's an auspicious day. If the Empress could postpone it a little longer, it might be even better."

Hmm, even better?!

Xia He didn't understand, but Chen Yuwei didn't explain, so Xia He could only keep her doubts to herself.

After getting ready, Chen Yuwei set off from Yikun Palace and was carried in a sedan chair all the way to Changchun Palace.

As Chen Yuwei alighted from her sedan chair, she arrived at the same time as Consort Xian, Huifa Nara Tanyin.

Consort Xian

Consort Shu

Chen Yuwei took Xia He's arm and walked to Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin's side. "Consort Xian arrived quickly." Yonghe Palace and Changchun Palace are separated by a passageway.

"But coincidentally, I just returned from Baohua Palace and happened to run into a palace servant who was on his way to Cining Palace to deliver a message."

Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin turned to look at the palace gate, "Let's go in together, Consort Shu."

Chen Yuwei nodded, and the two entered the hall one after the other.

As fellow imperial concubines with power in the palace, they should have been informed of the situation at Changchun Palace.

Unfortunately, the two were not very prestigious, and no one greeted them when they came in. They stood there dumbfounded, somewhat dazed.

Chen Yuwei couldn't stand it anymore, so she dragged Hui Fa Na La Tan Yin to the main hall.

As soon as I entered, I saw Wei Hanyu fidgeting and twisting her handkerchief.

"Greetings to Consort Shu and Consort Xian."

Chen Yuwei waved her hand, "Consort Wei, you may dispense with the formalities. How long have you been here? Do you know anything about the Empress's condition?"

Wei Hanyu looked troubled. "Your Majesty, I arrived at Chenshi (7-9 AM) but I am still unaware of the Empress's condition."
