"Have you seen a doctor?" Gao Xiyue asked with concern, then sat down next to Su Lufu.

Gao Xiyue's concern warmed Su Lufu's heart. Gao Xiyue was straightforward and sincere towards her. With Gao Xiyue by her side, the two supported each other, and even with the Empress Dowager above them, she didn't feel that life in the manor was difficult.

Su Lufu grasped Gao Xiyue's hand resting on the soft couch: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Why bother seeing a doctor for heatstroke? If the main wife hears this, she'll say I'm being delicate."

Gao Xiyue sighed, then said angrily, "It's fine if you don't mention the principal wife, but you make me angry. How can someone be so spoiled and willful! If she weren't from the Fucha family, how could she have become the principal wife!"

Su Lufu quickly covered her mouth and put her index finger to her lips: "Shh! Be careful, the walls may hear you."

After saying that, she glanced at the servants beside her and said, "You may all leave now, and then close the door."

The servants all left and closed the door.

Su Lufu scolded Gao Xiyue, saying, "How could you be so reckless? If someone with ulterior motives hears this and tells the main wife, we'll both be in deep trouble."

Gao Xiyue knew she had acted impulsively, and she lowered her head, saying, "I'm sorry, sister."

"It's nothing, just take care to rest in the future. Is there anything I can help you with today?"

Seeing that Su Lufu was not feeling well, Gao Xiyue decided not to talk to her about the main wife. She smiled and said, "I just came to chat with you. Sister, you know, ever since the Prince married the main wife and the secondary wife, he has never treated the secondary wife well. This is a mixed blessing for us."

Su Lufu asked, puzzled, "How do you know?"

"Think about it, if the Prince doesn't go to the concubine's place, he'll pay more attention to the two of us, but the principal wife will be keeping an eye on us, and our lives won't be easy either. If the Prince goes to the concubine's place now, although there will be one more person vying for favor, the concubine will also attract the principal wife's attention. Isn't that a mixed blessing?"

Su Lufu thought about it and felt that Gao Xiyue made sense, so she nodded in agreement.

Gao Xiyue continued, "However, this Prince spends about half the month in the main courtyard. According to the rules, my sister can see the Prince three or four times a month, and so can I. It's really too little. As for the other days, the Prince is basically busy with state affairs in the front courtyard."

Su Lufu looked at her: "What do you mean by saying these things?"

Gao Xiyue leaned close to her ear and said, "My sister means to make the most of these days."

Su Lufu frowned: "This is against the rules."

Gao Xiyue said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with the rules? We don't have time to force the principal wife and the concubine."

"But, like this... Ugh!" Su Lufu wanted to comfort Gao Xiyue, but in her anxiety, she felt nauseous and couldn't help but vomit.

"Oh! Sister, what's wrong with you!" Gao Xiyue saw Su Lufu vomit and quickly patted her back to help her catch her breath.

Then she shouted loudly towards the door, "Someone come here! Call the doctor!"

The maidservant quickly went to fetch the doctor.

After Su Lu vomited for a while, Gao Xiyue seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Sister, do you think you might be pregnant?"
