"The doctor said that I'm afraid I won't survive your birthday."
Feng Xuanming had no doubts in his heart: "Then let the imperial physician use whatever means to make sure the Queen Mother lives past my birthday. On my birthday, I also want the Queen Mother to appear in the palace."
"Yes!" Qi Rui did not dare to disobey the order and hurried down to instruct the imperial physician.
The matter of Chang Mo seemed to have subsided, but the undercurrent in the capital was more fierce than before, and the busiest person in the harem was Concubine De.
As Imperial Concubine Ruo was in poor health and Concubine Nian was neglected by Feng Xuanming, the responsibility of organizing the birthday celebration fell entirely on Concubine De.
Concubine De had been paying close attention to what was happening with the Imperial Concubine, but she was too quiet. She never even went out of the door every day, as if she knew her birthday was approaching and that she was about to die.
Yi Qingchen has been vomiting blood more and more frequently recently. Feng Zhuohua has habitually put the blood-stained handkerchiefs together and burn them together later.
Jiapin happened to come to visit Yi Qingchen at this time. She has been visiting Yi Qingchen more frequently than before recently, and she always brings Feng Shuyu with her.
"Your Highness, is your son feeling better?" asked Jiapin.
Yi Qingchen smiled: "Same old."
Seeing Yi Qingchen's frail appearance, Jiapin was worried that she would die in the next moment: "Your Highness, please go and say a few soft words to the Emperor. Now that you and the Emperor are angry, it will definitely be worse for your health. The Emperor loves you the most, and he will definitely not ignore you like he does now."
Yi Qingchen did not answer. Jiapin pushed Feng Shuyu and said, "Shuyu, what did I tell you when I came here? Why don't you help your father persuade the imperial concubine?"
Feng Shuyu looked at Yi Qingchen's sickly appearance and was a little afraid to step forward. In the end, he only said: "My Lady, please go see my father."
Yi Qingchen shook her head slightly: "It's also good not to let the emperor see my current appearance."
Jiapin knew that she could not persuade Yi Qingchen, so she looked around and asked, "Why can't I see Lord Zhuohua?"
"Zhuohua is now personally involved in my affairs, and specifically asked the small kitchen to prepare some food."
"My husband is really filial..."
Outside, Feng Zhuohua walked to the side of Madam Cao, who was the old nanny who had always served Feng Shuyu and was the one who was accidentally pushed into the lake by Feng Shuyu last time.
"Mammy, it seems that the medicine is effective. You look much better than before."
On that day, Madam Cao was pushed into the lake. Although she was quickly rescued by Su Chenyu, she was too old to bear it. It was Feng Zhuohua who asked the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for Madam Cao.
"Thank you, sir. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to hold on to this day." Madam Cao thought for a moment and continued, "Recently, the emperor has often summoned the fifth prince at night to examine his knowledge. He is quite satisfied with the fifth prince's answers."
Feng Zhuohua suddenly asked, "Madam Cao, you were originally sent by our father to be with my fifth brother with an important mission. Now that you are about to retire after achieving your goal, don't you feel it's a pity?"
"I used to serve the late emperor. At that time, the emperor ordered the death of all the people around the late emperor, but spared me. I never thought that the emperor was kind." Madam Cao paused, "He just wanted to put me in the most suitable position at the most suitable time. The emperor wanted me to teach the fifth prince everything, and I taught him everything. But human nature is hard to change."
When Feng Shuyu accidentally pushed her into the lake, Madam Cao still had hope in her heart, after all, it was an unintentional act. But when she saw Feng Shuyu running away without hesitation, Madam Cao completely saw through his nature.
If Feng Shuyu ascends the throne someday, how could he possibly remember the years of education he had given me? I'm afraid he would be eager to kill me!
So when Feng Zhuohua extended an olive branch to her, Nanny Cao guessed that Su Chenyu and Feng Zhuohua were allies. She accepted Feng Zhuohua's kindness, which meant she accepted Feng Zhuohua's recruitment.
Madam Cao has no regrets, she wants to choose a wife for herself.
