Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu chuckled.
"That's right. We'll fight back. How can that damn old woman outsmart a group of us?"
Concubine Rou laughed dryly, "My brain is only half good, but my sisters are definitely smarter than that old woman."
[Aunt Roupin is quite self-aware.]
[Hehe, now Lady Huang and Concubine Shu have connected, right?]
Yu Yiluo had just calmed down when she heard Concubine De say, "That Beauty Huang has probably gone to see Concubine Shu."
Concubine Rou looked confused, her eyes darting between the three of them.
"Have you sent someone to monitor Lady Huang?"
[Of course they didn't, but the tyrant did send someone to keep an eye on Lady Huang.]
Seeing that everyone looked speechless, Concubine Rou chuckled.
"I just said I only have half a brain."
Three people: "..."
"After what Sister Defei said today, it's hard for Concubine Shu not to pay attention to Concubine Huang."
As Concubine Xian spoke, she saw Concubine Rou's expression, as if she had just realized what was happening. She smiled and said, "Do you think Sister Defei really noticed Concubine Huang right away? She just wanted to help her."
…
In the next few days, Concubine Huang went to Concubine Shu every day to help plant flowers and plants. This lasted for five days, and Concubine Shu's empty yard was filled with flowers and plants.
All the concubines in the harem knew that Concubine Huang had caught the eye of Concubine Shu. They all felt jealous, but they did not dare to do anything to her.
"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Concubine Shu looked at Lady Huang with a kind smile and signaled Lu'er to serve her tea.
The two drank tea and chatted for a while, and someone came in to say that Doctor Lin was here.
Concubine Shu put down the tea and said, "Please invite the person in."
Doctor Lin came in and bowed, then he felt a pair of inquiring eyes falling on him.
He ignored the gaze and said softly, "I'm here to check the Dowager's pulse."
Concubine Shu held out her hand and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for taking the trouble to make you come to me so often. Now that you are here, why not let Concubine Huang take a look as well?"
Lady Huang was listening to their conversation, still calculating something in her mind, when she suddenly heard Concubine Shu mention her. She raised her eyes and said, "Thank you, Concubine."
Doctor Lin withdrew his hand and said, "This is all my responsibility. The Concubine is in good health. The weather is getting colder now, so just be careful not to catch a cold."
"I said it was nothing."
"The Emperor is also concerned about the Dowager Consort's health," said Imperial Physician Lin, making a gesture of invitation to Consort Huang. After taking her pulse, he said, "The beauty is in good health and everything is fine."
"Doctor Xie Lin."
Concubine Huang slowly withdrew her hand and suddenly asked, "I wonder if Sister Roupin is feeling better now?"
Doctor Lin was startled, then put away the medicine box with a normal expression.
"It would be more appropriate for Lady Huang to ask Concubine Rou in person. I will take my leave."
Lady Huang sneered in her heart. Her hands were blistered from helping Concubine Shu plant flowers and plants these days. Fortunately, she got some useful information today.
"I just said something out of turn," Concubine Huang recalled her thoughts, a look of worry on her face. "It's just that I saw that Doctor Lin went to Sister Roupin frequently, so I asked a few more questions."
Concubine Shu raised her eyelids. She had previously thought that Concubine Huang was working hard for the emperor, but now it seemed that she was just like Concubine Chen, and they both wanted to use her to defeat the enemy.
She stroked the teacup in her hand. Lady Huang deliberately brought up this matter in front of her, apparently wanting to make a big deal out of it.
Thinking of this, Concubine Shu suppressed her smile and spoke with a slightly blaming tone.
"You did make a mistake. You should only say this to me. If others hear it, it will inevitably lead to rumors and rumors about Concubine Rou."
Although Concubine Huang said that she knew her mistake, she secretly hoped that others would spread rumors and implicate the three concubines.
"You've worked hard helping me plant these flowers and plants recently. Go back and have a rest."
After sending away Concubine Huang and the servants around her, Concubine Shu called out Xiao Shize.
"Did you hear what Miss Huang said just now?"
Xiao Shize nodded. This Concubine Huang was quite vengeful. Concubine De and the others had pushed her to the forefront that day. She wanted to use the Empress's hand to make the matter bigger and implicate several people.
"Madam, are you planning to take action?"
Concubine Shu pondered for a moment and shook her head.
"Concubine Huang doesn't understand the situation in the harem, so she naively thinks that this matter can affect the three concubines. Since she helped me plant flowers and plants, I will provide her with some help. She still has to sing the show on her own."
Even if this matter could implicate three people, as long as the families behind them did not fall, they would only receive some light or heavy punishment.
She was still preparing a more exciting drama for the emperor and a few others, so how could she waste too much energy on this matter?
"Your Majesty is wise."
Waving her hand to let everyone leave, Concubine Shu called Lu'er to ask Concubine Rou to come over.
…
Concubine Rou was still eating the snacks that Concubine Xian had just sent her. When she heard Concubine Shu invite her over, she almost dropped the snacks in her hand in surprise.
Concubine Xian and her sisters were really good at predicting things. Concubine Shu actually sent someone to invite her over today.
She put down the snacks and went straight to Concubine Shu's bedroom with Jinzhi and Lu'er.
Along the way, she was thinking about the method that Concubine Xian had taught her when she sent someone to deliver snacks just now on how to deal with Concubine Shu, and in a blink of an eye, she arrived at the door of Concubine Shu's bedroom.
"Empress Roupin, please come in."
Concubine Rou lifted her skirt and walked in. Concubine Shu was sitting on the couch by the window, with two cups of tea on the small table beside the couch, as if she had expected her to come.
She slowly walked up to Concubine Shu, and without waiting for her to greet him, she smiled and asked her to sit down, then said gently:
"I heard from Lady Huang that you weren't feeling well. Since Imperial Physician Lin often comes to check your pulse, I called you over to ask if you've seen him."
Concubine Rou was originally sitting obediently, but upon hearing what was said, she was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up.
Realizing that she seemed too excited, Roupin sat back in her chair obediently.
"I was just too angry. That bitch, Lady Huang, must have seen that Imperial Physician Lin often visited me, so she gossiped about me and insulted my innocence in front of the Concubine Dowager."
Seeing that Concubine Rou was full of anger, but did not feel guilty at all when she mentioned Doctor Lin, Concubine Shu lowered her eyes.
Concubine Huang brought the matter of seeing a snake in a cup of wine to her face, and it seemed that she was not much smarter than Concubine Chen.
"Since Doctor Lin has examined you, I won't worry about it anymore."
Concubine Rou smiled and said, "Thank you, Concubine Dowager, for your concern for my health. I have felt much better after taking this medicine."
After saying that, she complimented Concubine Shu again. Concubine Shu rubbed her eyebrows and felt that Concubine Rou was really noisy.
Concubine Rou pretended not to notice Concubine Shu's impatience and continued to chatter.
"My Lady, has Lady Huang said anything bad about me?"
"Roupin," Concubine Shu interrupted Roupin, "Since you are fine, you can go back first."
Concubine Rou stood up and said, "It's been a pleasure chatting with the Concubine Dowager. I'll come over when I have time. I won't bother you anymore."
After sending Concubine Rou out, Lu'er came back and rubbed her ears. "This Concubine Rou is too noisy. I really don't know how Concubine Xian and the others can stand her."
