It was already mid-May, and everyone had begun a new round of competition to win favor.
The Imperial Garden is the most competitive place, so Chen Yuwei, being pregnant, would not go there for walks, but that doesn't mean she likes staying at home.
Having just returned from the Prince's residence, even though she had traveled the entire way in a sedan chair, Chen Yuwei still felt extremely tired.
Xia He quickly brought in a basin of warm water, removed Chen Yuwei's shoes and socks, and while making her feel more comfortable soaking her feet, she massaged her calves with appropriate pressure to relieve fatigue.
Chen Yuwei's pregnancy was extremely difficult; she basically vomited everything she ate.
After rejecting the Empress Dowager and Empress's "kindness," Chen Yuwei relied entirely on the system's pills to survive.
The fact that it can still stand strong today is partly due to its inherent talent.
Xia He's massage was so comfortable that Chen Yuwei felt drowsy and sleepy.
During this period, Chen Yuwei was useless at everything and seemed to be resting during the day. Whenever there was nothing to do, Xia He would subconsciously follow her master's arrangements.
Xia He gradually loosened her grip, took out a towel to dry Chen Yuwei's legs, and then lifted her limbs to the bed and covered them with blankets.
Even after all that was done, Chen Yuwei still showed no signs of waking up. Xia He breathed a sigh of relief and carried the basin of water away in small steps.
The door was closed again. Xia He straightened her body and had the eunuch beside her empty the basin to clean it. She stretched her body while standing guard at the door to prevent any tactless people from disturbing their master.
Xia Yu hurriedly came in through the main gate, "Sister Xia He, Sister Xia He..."
Xia He took two steps forward to greet him, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. "What happened? Master just finished resting."
Xia Yu pointed outside the door, panting heavily, "It's Jingren Palace."
Xia He's heart skipped a beat. "Which concubine in Jingren Palace has run into trouble?"
Xia Yu patted her chest, "It was Consort Yi. She fell down while taking a walk with Consort Jin. I've already sent someone to fetch the imperial physician."
Xia He pulled Xia Yu to a corner, "Did you fall badly?"
Xia He nodded, "They've all fainted, and there's still a pool of blood on the ground."
Pulling on Xia He's sleeve, Xia Yu urged softly, "Sister, hurry and tell the master that the Empress Dowager and the Empress have already gone there."
Xia He: ...Here we go again.
"I'll stay here and go inform the master," Xia He turned and ran quickly into the main hall.
