Huayang Palace was giving birth to babies in an orderly manner.

At that time, in Yanxue Palace, Luzhu entered the bedroom with tonic medicine. Seeing Roupin leaning on the bed, still reading the book "Xiangzhuan", she could not help but advise: "Your Majesty, you just gave birth. I am afraid that reading now will hurt your eyes. The imperial physician prescribed you a medicine to replenish qi and blood. I have already prepared it. Please drink it while it is hot."

Concubine Rou didn't even look at her, but just asked Lu Zhu, "Did something happen in the palace?"

Lu Zhu nodded and said, "It was Lady Dong and her servant who died in the dry well next to Changxin Palace. They all said that Concubine Shu killed Lady Dong and her servant."

Concubine Rou sneered and shook her head, saying firmly: "She really is an idiot."

Lu Zhu was stunned: "From what you said, you seem to know who killed Lady Dong?"

"I just gave birth, how would I know? These are all matters handled by the higher-ups, I can't get involved."

Speaking of childbirth, a trace of worry crossed Lu Zhu's face: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that the little prince might not last long."

The hand that was turning the pages of the book paused for a moment, and then Roupin said nonchalantly, "He shouldn't have come into this world. It's better for him to die sooner."

Luzhu was quite disappointed with Roupin's reaction. She didn't understand how there could be such a cruel mother in the world.

The fifth prince has been born for more than half a month. He is a very handsome child, but his mother, Concubine Rou, doesn't even look at him.

The wet nurse once said to her: "The little prince is very weak. When I feed him, he can only drink a few sips. But I see that the little prince really wants to live."

Thinking of this, Luzhu felt sad.

Seeing Luzhu's red eyes and daze, Roupin raised an eyebrow and asked her, "What's wrong?"

Lu Zhu quickly turned her face away, wiped her tears and said, "I am fine."

As they were talking, a palace maid came in to report that the Imperial Noble Consort of Huayang Palace had given birth. Concubine Rou then closed her book and said slowly, "I understand. Keep an eye on the movements in Huayang Palace. If the Empress gives birth, please inform me sooner or later."

"yes."

The little palace maid turned and left. Concubine Rou looked at Luzhu's red eyes and said slowly, "Since you feel sorry for him, then you should go visit him more often. I don't need you to serve me anymore."

Luzhu fought back her tears and knelt down to salute: "Yes, then I will ask Zizhu to come and help you drink the medicine."

Concubine Rou stared at Luzhu's back, waiting for her to disappear at the door before a cold light flashed in her eyes. Soon, Zizhu came in through the curtains, and her master instructed her, "Go tell Concubine Qian that I wronged her on the day of her birth. Now that I'm feeling better, please ask her to come over and talk."

Zizhu didn't dare to delay, so she agreed and turned to leave.

At this time in Bixiao Palace, Concubine Qian was lying on the kang and dozing off comfortably. When she heard the palace servant announce that Concubine Rou wanted to talk to her, her heart skipped a beat.

Xing'er was horrified: "Master, could it be that Concubine Rou knows something?"

Qian Jieyu pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said calmly, "Go and get the sedan chair first. We can talk when we get back."

"yes."

Half a cup of tea later, the sedan chair from Bixiao Palace landed steadily at the gate of Yanxue Palace. Zizhu's master ordered her to wait respectfully at the gate, but when she saw Concubine Qian coming, she hurriedly and warmly greeted her.

After lifting the curtain and walking in, a faint fragrance filled her nose. Concubine Qian looked at the furnishings in the room calmly.

Only then did I realize that every piece in this room, from the jade screen to the rouge box on the dressing table, was a precious item.

Concubine Qian raised her eyebrows, a flicker of jealousy and resentment flashing in her eyes, but she still politely saluted Concubine Rou: "This concubine pays respects to the Majesty, and may the Majesty be blessed with good health."

Concubine Rou ordered Zizhu to help the person up and said with a smile, "We are all sisters serving the emperor. There is no need to be polite, little sister."

As she spoke, a palace maid came over with tea. Concubine Rou smiled and said, "This is the new Rain-Previous Longjing tea that has been brought into the palace this year. My sister, please try it and see if it suits your taste."

Concubine Qian took a sip and found it was indeed good tea, even a hundred times better than the tea in her palace.

Although she was flattering on the surface, she was very angry in her heart. She was just a little dancer, but she didn't know how she was lucky enough to be pampered by the emperor.

"Your Highness gave birth that day, and I was really frightened. Now that you are as healthy as ever, I am relieved."

Concubine Rou sighed heavily and gritted her teeth, saying, "Speaking of this, I wish I could chop Concubine Shu into pieces, but I heard recently that Concubine Dong from my sister's palace died at the gate of Concubine Shu's palace."

Concubine Qian rolled her eyes, put down her teacup, and sighed, "Yes, Sister Dong is indeed pitiful."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Concubine Rou say with a half-smile, "Shufei is different from others. She has the support of the Marquisate behind her. Sister, have you taken care of everything? Don't reveal your true identity and bring trouble upon yourself."

This light and airy remark made Concubine Qian's whole body flutter. She stared at Concubine Rou and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Concubine Rou raised her hand and slowly examined the jade bracelet on her wrist. "Sister, you are a smart person. How could you not understand what I said? Didn't you intend to use the dragon fetus in my belly to frame Concubine Shu?"

Qian Jieyu stood up suddenly, her hands trembling visibly beneath her gorgeous clothes. "So you know everything."

"Of course I know, because I fell down on purpose."

Concubine Rou raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Qian calmly: "Don't worry, if I wanted to report you, I would have told the emperor long ago, and why would I invite you here for tea?"

Concubine Qian looked at Concubine Rou in disbelief, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"You'll know what I want to do in a moment. Have some tea first."
