Seeing that Consort Shu seemed to have forgiven her, Consort Zhuang hurriedly stood up.
She took a few steps and saw the midwife kneeling on the ground. Her face showed surprise: "Oh! What's going on? Sister, you just gave birth. Why are you so angry? Be careful not to hurt yourself."
"Sister, please sit down, it's alright." Consort Shu said calmly, "This servant almost harmed my child."
"What?" Consort Zhuang's eyes widened in shock, and she said angrily, "If this is true, then we must interrogate her thoroughly."
Consort Shu nodded slightly.
"My sister has just given birth and is very weak. I brought some top-quality donkey-hide gelatin to help her recover," Consort Zhuang said, waving for someone to bring it in.
"My sister is so thoughtful." The resentment in Consort Shu's heart dissipated considerably.
Although she harbored resentment towards Consort Zhuang.
He was furious that she had climbed into Emperor Yuanwu's bed when he was down on his luck.
But ever since she was confined to her home, her former sisters have not only refused to visit her, but have avoided her like the plague.
Only Consort Zhuang would occasionally come to bring her things.
Perhaps, she had no choice back then.
"Now that I'm trapped in this Qiluan Garden, only my sister still cares about me," Consort Shu sighed.
"Sister, please don't say that. We grew up together since we were little. No matter what happens, our sisterly bond will never change."
The concubine continued with deep sisterly affection, "This Qiluan Garden, just the name itself, Qiluan means harmony between husband and wife. It was given to you by the Emperor when you entered the palace, so you can see that you held a different position in the Emperor's heart than others."
Qiluan Garden.
Consort Shu raised her eyes.
He gave a self-deprecating smile.
Qiluan Garden, once a bustling place with auspicious connotations, was a place of great popularity.
Now it has become a cage that traps her.
Living in this place is even colder than the Cold Palace.
I'm afraid even the rats, ants, and ladybugs in this palace would avoid it.
Not to mention the emperor.
I'm afraid so.
Now the emperor won't even see her once.
Seeing that Consort Shu's eyes were red, Consort Zhuang comforted her, "Sister, don't be sad. There's just a misunderstanding between you and the Emperor. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything will be fine. The Emperor still cares about you, and I will definitely speak well of you in front of him so that you and the Emperor can reconcile as soon as possible."
Consort Shu did not speak, but only gave a bitter smile.
Seeing that she remained silent, Consort Zhuang chuckled dryly and glanced at the midwife kneeling on the ground: "Sister, you have just given birth and should not be easily angered. Why don't you let your younger sister interrogate this servant for you and get to the bottom of it?"
Mu Qianqian, who was lying in Consort Shu's arms with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes upon hearing these words.
She struggled desperately to get attention, but she was just a newborn baby, powerless and unable to speak.
Urgent! I'm so anxious!
[Mom, you absolutely mustn't be fooled by this scheming woman.]
[My goodness, the midwife was sent by that scheming woman.]
[Beware of fire, theft, and best friends! What sisterly love? She's really trying to get us killed!]
[When visiting someone who has just given birth, wouldn't you bring a gift for the baby? How could you only bring a box of donkey-hide gelatin?]
[Ahem, of course, I don't necessarily need any gifts.]
She knew from the beginning that I wouldn't survive, which is why she wasn't prepared.
What! ?
Consort Shu paused heavily with her fingertips.
The midwife was a concubine's servant!
