"Ahem, it's all my fault. Ahem, I'm not doing my best. I've made the Imperial Concubine worry about me. Ahem..."
Hua Shen continued, "The Imperial Concubine said that you should go back when you wake up, Concubine Ning. The Imperial Concubine also said that the Emperor is very busy and tired, so there is no need to let the Emperor know about such a small matter.
You know, my queen has a bad temper. If she knew someone was complaining about me, the consequences of her temper would be unimaginable!"
Oh, she can't even speak now.
"Yes, ahem, it's my fault. The Emperor is so busy that I dare not disturb him..."
Hua Shen then smiled and said, "That's good."
Ning Yuxi got out of bed, held Luoying's hand, and walked out of the bedroom tremblingly, moving her steps weakly.
Not long after, Ning Yuxi pricked her ears and heard a lot of footsteps in the corridor outside Changle Palace...
The next moment, Ning Yuxi fell down again softly.
The moment she closed her eyes, Ning Yuxi noticed the corner of the ink-colored dragon-patterned robe at the entrance of Changle Palace.
Is it the Emperor? Why is the Emperor here? But it’s even better if the Emperor comes.
As soon as Gu Qilan entered Changle Palace, he saw Concubine Ning collapsed with a weak face.
He hurried forward and picked her up: "What's going on?"
Luo Ying greeted the Emperor and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine invited my Master to talk. Perhaps the Imperial Concubine has been very busy lately, so she took a short rest.
The master was waiting at the door, but she was weak after giving birth to the third prince and fainted.
After hearing the general story, Gu Qilan felt that they were just trivial matters, but if someone fainted, he still had to call the imperial physician.
"Come here, call the imperial physician."
Just as the words fell, Ning Yuxi, who was leaning on Gu Qilan's arms, woke up slowly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, no need, no need to call the imperial physician, I, I am fine..."
Gu Qilan looked at the pale and frail person in his arms, his brows furrowed slightly. "How can you not call the imperial physician? You're already so weak."
Ning Yuxi suppressed her coughs and said, "It's okay. The Imperial Concubine has already asked the imperial physician for help.
"I, your humble concubine, have also taken the medicine. I just lost my balance. Your Majesty, please don't worry..."
At this time, Concubine Liu also walked out of the main hall. Looking at Ning Yuxi leaning on the emperor's arms, she was angry, but she still smiled and asked, "Why is the emperor here?"
"I went to see the Third Prince. He was crying so hard, probably missing his mother. I heard that you invited Concubine Ning, so I came to see her."
"Since you are alright, I will take Concubine Ning back. It is no use for the Third Prince to keep crying."
As he spoke, Gu Qilan suddenly picked up Ning Yuxi, turned around and left.
Concubine Liu almost bit her teeth when she saw the emperor leaving with Ning Yuxi in his arms.
After the emperor's procession left Changle Palace, Hua Shen looked at Concubine Liu's angry face and comforted her, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. The emperor is only doing this for the sake of the Third Prince."
"What would she be if she hadn't given birth to the Third Prince? The Emperor probably wouldn't even remember her."
Concubine Liu thought of her second prince who had died young. If her second prince was still alive, it would be impossible for a child born by an inconspicuous woman to take the spotlight.
The emperor values offspring. Although she has a family and is favored by the emperor, she has no son. Although she is prosperous now, how will she survive after the emperor passes away?
Do I have to live my life according to other people's wishes?
She still had to have a child as soon as possible, but she had not been pregnant since she gave birth to the second prince. The imperial physicians in the palace had examined her and only said that she had injured her body when giving birth to the second prince and needed to be well taken care of.
But after these years of treatment, there is still no progress!
"Hua Shen!"
She suddenly spoke, which scared Hua Shen.
He quickly responded, "What are your instructions, Madam?"
"Tomorrow after court, go and ask your father to come over and tell him I have something to discuss with him."
Although Hua Shen didn't know what the Empress wanted, he didn't ask any more questions and quickly agreed.
…
Ning Yuxi was carried all the way back to Shuqing Palace by the emperor. Naturally, this matter caused an uproar in the palace, but Ning Yuxi didn't know about it at the moment.
The emperor put her on the bed and asked Song Qu to call the imperial physician.
Ning Yuxi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has just asked the Imperial Physician to examine me. I am suffering from a lack of energy and blood. I have already taken the medicine and will be fine after a rest. There is no need to trouble the Imperial Physician."
Seeing that her complexion had improved a lot, Gu Qilan let her be: "That's just the way Concubine Liu is. Don't bother with her. Be more accommodating and respectful to her in the future. She won't make things difficult for you."
???
Listen, is this what a person says?
"Your Majesty is right. Perhaps I haven't done well enough. I will be respectful to the Imperial Concubine in the future."
Seeing her so understanding, Gu Qilan felt better: "What's your maiden name?"
Ning Yuxi was slightly stunned and said, "My maiden name is Yuxi."
"Yuxi, I will call you Xi'er from now on. Xi'er is so well-behaved and sensible, and I am very happy."
As he spoke, Gu Qilan called Song Qu who was waiting at the door.
"Go and fetch the pair of Ruyi silk hairpins from the storehouse and give them to Concubine Ning."
Song Qu bowed and agreed.
Ning Yuxi saw this and quickly showed her joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Well, you should have a good rest first. I will come to see you another day."
"Yes, I respectfully send your Majesty off."
Watching the emperor's back as he left, Ning Yuxi secretly spat in her heart: Bah, you big pig's hoof, he sent her away with just a pair of hairpins, and asked her to accommodate Concubine Liu. Isn't that accommodating enough?
Mmp, it’s the first day I want to kill him!
Not long after the emperor left, Concubine Chen and Concubine Li arrived. Ning Yuxi probably guessed that it was the two of them who went to invite the emperor.
Sure enough, after she and the two of them separated, they were worried that she would be bullied by Concubine Liu, so they went to the emperor and said they were going to visit the third prince. But the third prince kept crying and wanted to find his mother, and the nanny couldn't comfort him.
Concubine Ning had been called away by Concubine Liu to talk and had not returned for more than an hour, so the emperor went to Changle Palace.
The Third Prince was crying, of course, it was just a normal child's crying. As for looking for his mother? How could a baby who had just turned one month old know what a mother was?
It's just an excuse to ask the emperor for help. The emperor values the third prince and will naturally not ignore it.
Concubine Chen sighed, "It's because the Emperor values the Third Prince, otherwise the two of us wouldn't be able to invite the Emperor."
"Sister, what are you talking about? If you hadn't gone to ask the emperor in time, he wouldn't have known about this. Thank you so much, sisters."
Ning Yuxi originally thought of pretending to faint to get by. She knew how to make her pulse look weak so that the imperial physician wouldn't notice.
Who knew that Concubine Chen and Concubine Li would take the initiative to ask the emperor to help her out. It seems that she was right in choosing the right person.
