In the side hall of Bixiao Palace, palace maids were coming in and out carrying hot water.
Dong Cairen, who lived with her, stood guard at the door and did not dare to go in. Instead, the palace maid beside her reminded her that the Imperial Noble Consort was coming. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she knelt down to pay her respects.
Fu Qianyu glanced at her, then took Lingyun's hand and hurried towards the warm room.
As soon as she entered the door, the smell of blood mixed with the smell of medicine penetrated her nose, and her stomach churned. Fu Qianyu hurried to the door and took a few breaths of cold air before she felt better.
Seeing this, Lingyun didn't dare to let her master in again, so she went forward alone to find the imperial physician and Concubine Qian's personal maid.
The little palace maid was named Xing'er. Because she was young, it was her first time experiencing such a thing and she was already scared out of her wits.
Fu Qianyu asked the imperial physician, "How is it? Can the child be saved?"
The imperial physician shook his head and sighed, "It's so cold, not only for a girl, but even a grown man wouldn't be able to stand it. The fetus isn't even formed yet, how could it possibly withstand such cold? The child is definitely not going to survive. And that's not the most important thing. What if Concubine Qian suffers from sequelae, such as lung heat, cough, asthma, or even uterine cold? It's hard to say."
Fu Qianyu's face was gloomy. "Let's not worry about anything else for now. Please protect Miss Qian no matter what."
The imperial physician bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely take good care of Lady Qian."
"Thank you, Imperial Physician."
After the imperial physician finished his report, he returned to the warm room. Haining also brought the records from the Shangqin Bureau. Calculating the date, it was before New Year's Eve.
Fu Qianyu closed the file and asked coldly, "You are also confused. Your master hasn't sent a letter this month, and you didn't notice it?"
When Xing'er saw that her master had a miscarriage, she was so frightened that she was scared out of her wits and could not say anything. She just kept crying.
Soon, the Queen Mother also sent Nanny Song.
Upon hearing that Concubine Qian's child had not been saved, Nanny Song only told the imperial physician to take good care of the child, and informed Fu Qianyu that the Empress Dowager would personally deal with Concubine Shu's guilt.
Fu Qianyu knew why Concubine Shu entered the palace. Since the Empress Dowager had spoken, she had nothing to say.
He ordered the imperial physician to take good care of her and then left Bixia Palace.
As for Zhao Yuancheng, he never showed up from beginning to end.
When passing by Jingyang Palace, Fu Qianyu remembered that Concubine Lian was still pregnant, so she went in to take a look. At that time, Concubine Lian was leaning on the couch to rest.
She was originally thin, and after she became pregnant, almost all the nutrients in her body were given to the fetus. Her belly became rounder, but she herself became weaker than before she became pregnant.
Nong Mei, who was tending to Juhua, was about to get up and wake up her master when she saw the Imperial Noble Consort coming, but was stopped by Fu Qianyu.
Look at the dark circles under Lianpin's eyes.
Fu Qianyu lowered her voice and asked, "Didn't Lianpin rest well?"
Nongmei whispered back, "The Queen has been having cramps these past few nights, and she can't fall asleep after waking up."
"From now on, before Concubine Lian goes to sleep, remember to bring her a bowl of milk. When the sun is good, let your mistress go out to bask in the sun more often. Although it's the first trimester, you still have to be careful about everything. Don't tell her about things outside the palace if you can. Pregnant women hate to be depressed."
Nong Mei smiled and replied, "I understand."
"You serve her well, and when Concubine Lian gives birth successfully, you will also benefit from it."
Fu Qianyu was about to leave when the person on the bed woke up slowly. He looked up and saw the Imperial Noble Consort. He lifted the quilt and was about to get off the bed to pay his respects, but was stopped by Fu Qianyu.
"If you feel unwell, just lie down."
Lingyun brought a chair and helped her master sit down. Lianpin touched her cheek and said anxiously, "I am so unkempt. I am so rude."
"Let's stop saying these awkward things to each other."
Nong Mei hurried forward to tidy up her master's hair, and put a soft pillow under her waist, then bent down and stood aside.
"My Lady, is Lady Qian's child safe?"
Fu Qianyu shook her head. "She is already weak. The imperial physician said that this pregnancy will be difficult to maintain."
Lianpin nodded and asked, "Then, has the emperor gone to see it?"
Fu Qianyu understood her thoughts. Ever since Concubine Rou became pregnant and now there was a new person entering the palace, Zhao Yuancheng's initial love for Concubine Lian had long since faded.
It’s a pity that Concubine Lian is deeply in love with Zhao Yuancheng. If she didn’t have a child in her belly, I’m afraid she really couldn’t bear such ups and downs.
Fu Qianyu smiled and comforted her: "Don't think too much. The emperor has been busy with state affairs these days and has not been to the harem often. You should take good care of yourself. The baby in your belly is yours and the emperor's flesh and blood. This is the most important thing."
Speaking of the child, Lianpin's face showed some joy: "Your Majesty is right, this is the child of this concubine and the emperor, no one can harm him."
Hearing her say this, Fu Qianyu felt much relieved.
After sitting for a while, he got up and left Jingyang Palace.
She was already in the second trimester, and the imperial physician advised her to walk more. The sun was shining brightly at the moment, so Fu Qianyu abandoned the sedan chair and walked slowly.
Speaking of Concubine Qian, Peirong couldn't help but sigh: "She is also pitiful. Although the Queen Mother said that she would severely punish Concubine Shu, how severe can she punish her?"
Peirong was muttering to herself when she looked up and saw Concubine Shu standing not far away. Judging from the direction she was going, she was probably heading towards Ci'an Palace.
Fu Xiyu stopped with her belly bulging. When Concubine Shu came over, her eyes were red and her face looked very bad.
After Concubine Qian got into trouble, she immediately asked her mother to enter the palace.
But after her mother entered the palace and went to Ci'an Palace, she left directly. Mo Xiang only said that the lady was very angry and didn't say anything else. Not long after, Nanny Song came.
At this moment, Concubine Shu was both sad and scared.
Unexpectedly, she ran into the Imperial Noble Consort again when she went out. Thinking that the Imperial Noble Consort was here to call her to task, she couldn't help but raise her neck and said proudly, "The Empress Dowager has her own opinions on Lady Qian's affairs. The Imperial Noble Consort doesn't need to worry about it."
