In Cangzhuo Hall, even if Fourth Master didn't allow Su Peisheng to come to Qiuhu, Xiao Luzi and the others would still try to find a way to invite the imperial physician.

Li Chenjiao was fine when she got up in the morning, but when the Fourth Prince came looking for his mother before noon, she found that his mother was sleeping soundly.

When Qiu Hu and the others came in to check on her, they realized that Li Chenjiao had caught a chill. Fortunately, she didn't have a fever yet, but she was already a little confused.

Li Chenjiao was always a deep sleeper, so it's no wonder the maids guarding outside didn't notice her.

Xiao Luzi immediately went to the main hall to fetch Granny Zhong, but although Granny Zhong could diagnose the illness by taking the pulse, she didn't have enough medicine with her...

Several maids in the west wing were getting anxious when, coincidentally, Su Peisheng arrived with the imperial physician.

It took Su Peisheng quite a bit of effort to bring the imperial physician to the east.

Su Peisheng didn't stay long. He gave the imperial physician some instructions and then went to the main hall to tidy up the master's clothes. He also took the opportunity to give a brief reprimand to everyone in Cangzhuo Hall.

The imperial physician examined Li Chenjiao and, just as Zhong Mama had said, the commotion last night had affected the pregnancy. Fortunately, Li Chenjiao was already three months pregnant.

In addition, I was a little frightened last night, didn't sleep well, and sweated a bit, which is why I caught a chill.

Li Chenjiao had already slowly woken up when the imperial physician prescribed the medicine.

The commotion at Changchun Garden kept the imperial physicians who accompanied the group quite busy.

Li Chenjiao also rested for two whole days before she finally regained some energy, but she was still a bit more lethargic than when she arrived.

After receiving Su Peisheng's message that day, everyone in Cangzhuo Hall behaved themselves very well, and Li Chenjiao didn't need to worry about them at all.

Bai Jia sent someone over twice during that time. Knowing that the concubine was ill, she was also very worried, but she couldn't do anything to help. All she could do was not cause any trouble.

Knowing that the concubine was feeling better, Bai Jia waited until noon before going to the concubine's west side hall, but unexpectedly encountered someone on the way.

Bai Jiashi slightly raised the hand that was resting on Danqing's arm and bowed to the person opposite her. The sun was a bit strong, so she couldn't help but squint.

"Greetings to Princess Song, and greetings to the eldest princess."

Madam Song twitched the corners of her mouth, returned the greeting, and without saying much, led the eldest princess forward.

Seeing this, Bai Jiashi slowed down and walked behind Song Shi.

It's really strange that Lady Song would actually go to visit the concubine.

...

Li Chenjiao was also a little surprised to learn of Song's arrival, but Qiu Hu said that after Song Gege arrived, she only stood outside the corridor, while only the eldest princess and Wang Shi went into the side room.

Li Chenjiao then went to see the eldest princess first, and asked Lümei to keep Baijia company.

Only after meeting the eldest princess, Li Chenjiao, did I learn the reason. It turned out that because Li Chenjiao had protected the eldest princess that day, the eldest princess had gone back and made several silk handkerchiefs in the past two days.

The little girl was very embarrassed when she took out the handkerchief, saying that it was because she had recently been learning needlework and that she was making a fool of herself in front of Li Chenjiao.

Qiu Hu took the handkerchief and handed it to Li Chenjiao. Li Chenjiao glanced at it and immediately smiled: "I've been sick these past few days, so I didn't know how you were doing after you came back. Good child, you're still young, so there's really no need to worry. Your mother understands your intentions."

The eldest princess is indeed old enough to learn needlework, which makes Li Chenjiao think of the second princess, so her gaze towards the eldest princess becomes even gentler.

Li Chenjiao knew that Madam Song was still waiting outside, so she didn't keep the eldest princess any longer. The eldest princess was also considerate and left after sitting for a while.

At this moment, Li Chenjiao and the eldest princess were still speaking from a distance.

After Qiu Ci and the others saw the eldest princess off, Li Chenjiao and Qiu Hu exchanged a glance: "The eldest princess is really sensible..."

Indeed, the handkerchiefs were meticulously stitched, with beautiful patterns and auspicious meanings, clearly showing that a lot of thought had been put into them.

Li Chenjiao stroked it for a moment before waving her hand to invite Bai Jiashi over.

A young maid, whose face was unfamiliar, led Bai Jia in: "Consort, Bai Jia has arrived."

The young girl bowed nimbly in response, and after Li Chenjiao waved her hand, she bowed to Bai Jia Gege before leaving.

When Li Chenjiao heard her speak, she remembered that two days ago, when she returned from Changchun Garden, this girl was the first to ask if she needed hot water from the kitchen and if she was hungry.

Li Chenjiao withdrew her gaze and invited Qiu Hu to take a seat.

Bai Jia looked well, but there was a hint of worry on her face: "Why has the concubine lost so much weight?"

Li Chenjiao touched her face: "You all say I've lost weight, probably because I'm sick. It's kind of you to make this trip."

Li Chenjiao had no intention of mentioning what was happening outside; saying it would only cause people to feel uneasy.

"How have things been going on your end these past two days? I've been busy since I arrived at Changchun Garden. If you need anything, just let someone know."

Li Chenjiao only said this now because the Fourth Master had instructed her to look after everyone in Changchun Garden; otherwise, she would never have said this under normal circumstances.

Bai Jia was slightly surprised, but her face quickly broke into a smile. She tilted her head slightly and lowered her eyes respectfully: "Everything is fine here, it's just that this servant is a little scared..."

Li Chenjiao glanced at her and chuckled, "What's so scary? No need to be afraid, hmm?"

Bai Jia nodded unconsciously, leaning forward slightly in a relaxed posture: "Yesterday, Danqing, who serves me, went to the kitchen to fetch food and saw several servants being dragged out of the kitchen..."

She only heard Danqing say it once, and it scared her so much that she couldn't sleep all night.

Li Chenjiao paused slightly after hearing this.
