Concubine Shu had long noticed that something was amiss with Concubine Shu. Seeing that Doctor Lin was still standing there in a daze, she scolded him, "What are you still standing there for? Can't you see that Concubine Shu's face is already burning red?"
Doctor Lian walked up to Concubine Shu and said, "Concubine Shu, I will take your pulse."
The concubines who looked at Concubine Shu noticed that her face was blushing abnormally, which was quite similar to when Concubine Huang was brought in just now.
"I'm tired, no..."
Before Concubine Shu could finish her words, she fell forward and lost consciousness.
"The Concubine," Lu'er quickly stepped forward to support her and said to Doctor Lin anxiously, "Doctor Lin, please help the Concubine take a look."
"Go and see what happened to your aunt."
Doctor Lin came forward and took Shu's pulse with an embarrassed look on his face. He wondered how Shu got poisoned even though Concubine Shu had given him the soup.
Seeing that Doctor Lin was hesitant to speak, Lu'er urged, "What happened to the Concubine Dowager? Is she okay?"
"Just tell the truth."
"Toffee...Toffee has been poisoned by that drug. She needs to be soaked in cold water as soon as possible."
Doctor Lin finished speaking hesitantly and ordered someone to help Concubine Shu soak in cold water.
When the concubines heard about the medicine, they were still confused, but after the second half of the sentence was said, everyone understood it tacitly. However, the look in their eyes when they looked at Concubine Shu seemed a little strange.
"Alright, it's getting late, everyone should go back. If anyone talks nonsense about what happened today, I will not forgive them."
…
It was two days later when Concubine Chen learned about this, and Qing'er was still frightened after she finished speaking.
The emperor was clearly trying to crack down on the restless people in the harem this time. She suddenly felt fortunate that her master was imprisoned, otherwise she would have been sent to the cold palace as well.
"You said that bitch Huang Meiren was executed?"
Concubine Chen raised her head and laughed a few times, "Okay, okay, it's a pity that I didn't get to see this bitch executed in person."
"Master, please keep your voice down."
Qing'er covered her mouth and said, "Everyone in the harem is in danger now. Be careful, there are ears behind the walls."
Concubine Chen pulled her hand away disapprovingly and spat, "Concubine Huang, that bitch, stole someone else and then cried thief, she deserves it."
"Master, don't you think this is terrible?"
"What's so scary?" Lady Chen was in a very good mood, drinking her tea. "She had bad behavior and that's why she ended up like this. She even claimed to be smarter than me, but I didn't expect her to die so soon."
Qing'er, who was about to say something, shut her mouth. She used to think that although Concubine Chen was stupid, she could be a good master as long as she listened to advice. But now she sees it clearly.
Concubine Chen is not only stupid, but also refuses to listen to advice and has a vicious heart. Following such a master, I'm afraid her fate will not be better than Concubine Huang's.
"Give me some more tea," Lady Chen handed the teacup to Qing'er. Seeing her stunned and frowning, she said, "Why, are you scared by such a small thing?"
Qing'er shook her head and poured more tea for Lady Chen.
"Master, you'd better be careful in your future actions, otherwise it will be easy for others to catch you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hot tea was poured directly on Qing'er's face.
"Do you think I will be like that beautiful lady Huang?"
Qing'er stroked her red face and whispered, "That's not what I meant."
"Go and see Concubine Shu, so she won't forget me."
After leaving the house, Qing'er let out a long breath and went towards Concubine Shu's bedroom.
Concubine Shu soaked in cold water all night that day and has been lying in bed sick for the past two days, looking very listless.
Now, whenever I think of the scene of that day, I feel extremely irritated and wish I could drag out Lady Huang and whip her corpse.
"Teacher, Concubine De and her companions are here to see you."
Lu'er pushed the door open and came in and whispered.
"Send him away."
Lu Er withdrew and said to De Fei and the others, "The Concubine Dowager has just taken the medicine and is taking a nap now. The ladies can go back."
Defei and the others were just going through the motions, so it would be better if Concubine Shu didn't see them.
When they had walked halfway, they saw Qing'er coming towards them.
When she saw those people, Qing'er knelt down respectfully and saluted.
Empress Xian looked at the wound on Qing'er's face and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Lady Chen has a pretty bad temper.
"Get up, do you want to go see Toffee?"
Defei looked at her and asked softly.
"Yes, Madam Defei."
"The Concubine Dowager is resting. None of us in the palace can see her, let alone a maid like you."
Qing'er pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Madam, for telling me."
Then she knelt before Concubine Shu and said, "My Lady Shu, please change my master for me."
It is said that people go to high places and water flows to low places. This is the first time that Concubine Shu has seen someone openly ask her to change her master.
She curled her lips slightly and said calmly, "What kind of master do you want to change?"
Qing'er lowered her head and said, "As long as you don't let me serve Lady Chen, I'll serve anyone."
"Is it okay for you to go to the bathroom?"
Qing'er was silent for a while, "I am willing."
"Get up, go back first."
After saying this, Concubine Shu turned and left without giving a clear answer.
Returning to Concubine Xian's bedroom, Concubine Shu raised her tea and looked at Concubine De. "Sister Concubine De, what do you think of that maid just now?"
[Could it be that Aunt Shufei wants to give that person to Aunt Defei?]
Yu Yiluo yawned after waking up.
[Aunt Defei doesn't really have any capable maids around her. As for Qing'er, after some training, she could be a useful person.]
Having said that, Yu Yiluo tried hard to recall Qing'er's face.
[Goodness, no wonder I always thought this maid was a big deal. Isn't she the maid in the book who served the heroine after she entered the palace? She's an extremely loyal and protective person.]
[It seems the heroine was well trained. She looked much smarter then than she does now.]
After hearing Yu Yiluo's thoughts, Concubine Xian's mind moved slightly, and she said with a smile: "That maid looks smart. Sister Defei might as well put her outside the palace to serve and test her. If she is suitable, she can be placed by your side."
Concubine De knew that the two of them were doing this for her own good, so she nodded in agreement.
The maid she brought with her into the palace was dealt with by the Queen when she came to power, so there is really no maid around her that she can trust now.
"That maid is quite clever," Roupin interrupted, remembering the last time she went to see Concubine Chen. "She tried to interrupt Concubine Chen several times last time, but she wouldn't listen."
After they chatted for a while, Hua Rui came in to report.
"My Lady, the people from the embroidery workshop came here and said they wanted to take measurements for the little princess to make some clothes."
"Didn't Sister Roupin also do it for Luo'er?"
Concubine Shu remembered that Jinzhi had mentioned it to her.
Concubine Rou coughed lightly and said, "I did, but my embroidery skills are definitely not as good as those in the embroidery workshop."
[Aunt Roupin, please be modest.]
"Huari, send someone back."
Hua Rui said in embarrassment: "My Lady, they were summoned by the Emperor."
"I will tell the Emperor that you can send him away."
"By the way, Xiao Luo'er will be one year old in a few months. It seems we have to prepare a birthday gift for Xiao Luo'er in advance."
Concubine De raised her hand and pinched Yu Yiluo's little face.
"Luo'er will be one year old in a few months. Are you happy?"
When Yu Yiluo heard this, her big eyes suddenly lit up like stars.
[Happy, so happy! It's her first birthday gift! She can receive so many gifts again.]
