Tao'er, who was standing beside her, saw the anxiety on Xu's face and recalled what had happened that day. She could probably figure out why Concubine Xu was so uneasy.

Her eyes rolled, and a plan came to her mind. She ran to Xu and deliberately asked, "Madam, is there anything bothering you?"

Xu looked at the maid in front of her. Although Tao'er had been with her for a short time, she was her favorite. Although this girl looked ordinary, she was usually very smart and could come up with any little tricks.

But she couldn't discuss her plan to curry favor with the prince directly with a little maid, so she said cryptically: "What worries me can I have? I'm still thinking about the prince."

As expected, it was because of what happened during the day. Tao Er smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is not difficult. If you want the prince, I have a way."

Xu was originally listless, but when she heard there was a solution, she sat up and said, "What solution? Tell me about it."

Tao'er leaned close to Xu's ear and whispered, "In my opinion, your health is the most precious thing. If you claim that you are sick and show weakness, then the prince will definitely pay attention to you and feel sorry for you."

Xu smiled and let Tao'er fiddle with her, thinking that she was indeed born beautiful. Even without makeup, she was a rare beauty that everyone praised since she was a child. And what if Nangong Jing liked her elegant and fresh look without makeup? After a while, Tao'er was ready in her hands and moved the mirror to make it easier for Xu to take a look, "Look, Madam."

In order to make her disguise more presentable, she walked step by step from her room to Nangong Jing's study with the support of Tao'er. To those who didn't know her, she looked like she had caught a cold.

Tao'er looked at Xu with some regret, and then said, "Of course, we can't let you get really sick, Madam. You should wipe off the rouge on your face and use some powder to cover your lips so that they look bloodless."

Tao'er smiled and comforted her, "How could that be? Your Majesty is naturally beautiful and even now she is as pretty as a fairy." Tao'er's flattery was very successful.

"Do you need me to get you some medicine?" the eunuch asked.

It was obvious that this eunuch had come here specifically to please Xu, and his intentions were so obvious that they were almost written on his face.

"No need. I'll go get the medicine later. By the way, I'll ask about some precautions about catching a cold. It's better for me to hear these things in person. I won't remember them if I hear them repeated." Tao'er continued.

Xu understood and looked at Tao'er with great appreciation, "This is a good idea. If the prince really comes, I will definitely reward you well."

Xu nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Xu was flustered, Tao'er explained for him, "Thank you for your kindness, father-in-law. My concubine may have been caught in the rain and the cold wind. She caught a cold. It's not serious. I will ask the imperial physician to prescribe two medicines and then help her go back to the house to rest for a while. She will be fine."

Xu looked at herself in the mirror, looking haggard, and waved her hand, "Okay, let's go find the prince." Then she stood up, and looking weak, she let Tao'er support her as she slowly walked out the door.

Afterwards, Tao'er took off all the pearl hairpins on Xu's head, then looked at the rouge on Xu's face, wiped it off bit by bit with a towel, and covered the lip color with watercolor.

The maids outside the door were very curious about Xu's condition. How could she be fine just now but now she was sick? Did she catch a cold after being caught in the rain? But no one asked, fearing that they might say something wrong. In this palace, only by talking less and doing more can one have a foothold. Everyone understood this principle. After all, there were all kinds of people in the backyard.

After seeing the eunuch walk away, Tao'er looked at Xu and reminded her, "Madam, please be careful. Don't let anything slip. Don't be too nervous when you speak. Stay calm."

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Xu nodded quickly and said, "My condition is not serious, so there is no need to call a doctor. I will recover if I rest more."

On the way, another eunuch recognized her and came forward to ask, "Concubine Xu, what's wrong with you? It looks like you have a cold. Do you want to ask the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine?"

Xu's eyes lit up. Yes, how could she not remember this matter? But the most urgent thing was how could she make herself sick?

Xu looked in the mirror, looking at her wiped-off makeup with some worry, and asked Tao'er, "What do you think if the prince doesn't like me when he sees me looking so haggard?"

Tao'er was secretly delighted with her own cleverness and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." As long as Xu was favored and she could curry favor with her, she would not be afraid of being bullied by other maids and servants in the palace.

Seeing that the master and servant were acting a little strange, the eunuch was puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions and left tactfully.

"Yes, yes, yes." Xu nodded quickly, thinking that she was indeed too nervous just now, so she almost gave herself away. Fortunately, Tao'er was there to smooth it over.

Xu came to Nangong Jing's study weakly, but found Gran was there too. She stared at the woman in front of her with some anger. However, Gran felt that she was innocent. She was just looking for a partner and got wet, and was finally discovered by Nangong Jing who passed by and brought back to the study.

Xu did not look at Gran again, but looked at Nangong Jing haggardly, "Your Majesty... I feel a little uncomfortable, as if I am sick. Can Your Majesty come to my room and stay with me?" Then she looked at Nangong Jing pitifully.

Gran was speechless. She was sick but had to come out of her room to find Nangong Jing. Nangong Jing felt helpless when he saw the haggard face of Xu, but he could only agree temporarily under the watchful eyes of the crowd, "Okay, then you go back to your room first, I will come in a while." Nangong Jing then looked at Tao'er, the maid beside Xu, "Take care of the concubine first."

Xu achieved her goal and was naturally very happy but she couldn't show it. She said to Nangong Jing weakly, "Then I'll go back to my room first. Your Majesty, please remember to come." Nangong Jing waved his hand and Xu left slowly.
