Chapter 99 Concubine Chen's position is unshakable

When the Emperor of Great Chu arrived at Qingyun Palace, Doctor Zhao had just finished taking Concubine Chen's pulse and was talking to her about her condition.

But the Emperor of Chu rushed into the inner room in a hurry.

Doctor Zhao hurriedly stood up to greet the emperor and gave his seat to the emperor of Chu.

Concubine Chen quickly turned her head away and said weakly, "Your Majesty, please stay away from me, or I will pass on my illness to you."

The Great Chu Emperor saw that her face was pale, but her cheeks were rosy due to the fever. He felt even more distressed and took her hand and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

But his eyes were looking at Dr. Zhao.

Doctor Zhao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Doctor Lin has examined the Imperial Concubine before and prescribed medicine for her. Her illness came on suddenly, but it is not serious. I think it is just the cold that has entered her body. She only needs to take medicine for two days."

The Great Chu Emperor nodded and felt relieved. He turned to look at Concubine Chen Gui on the bed and said, "Just focus on recuperating. Concubine Lan and Concubine Ning will take care of the affairs in the palace."

Concubine Chen nodded, covered her mouth and nose with her hands and said, "Speaking of Concubine Ning, now that Concubine Ning is pregnant, it is really a happy event."

The Great Chu Emperor was naturally happy when he mentioned this: "The news spread so quickly, you also knew about it?"

Lu Xingwan, who was standing by, looked at the emperor's expression and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

[Didn't you just ask the maid who served Concubine Ning to invite my mother to come over? Now you are still pretending to be so.]

[I have read so many stories, but I have never heard of an emperor asking a concubine to visit a pregnant concubine.]

[It is my mother's business if she wants to visit me. What does it mean that my father wants her to come over? Is he trying to show off to her?]

The Emperor of Great Chu couldn't help but frown when listening to Lu Xingwan's thoughts. When did he send someone to invite Concubine Chen?

Concubine Chen Gui naturally heard what Lu Xingwan was thinking. To be honest, when the maid just now said that the Emperor of Great Chu asked her to go and see Concubine Ning, she was unhappy in her heart, but she could not show it in front of these maids.

She just smiled and said, "Your Majesty just sent the maidservant of Concubine Ning to invite me, but you forgot so quickly."

At this point, he sighed again: "It's my body that is not good enough, so I can't share Concubine Ning's joy with her."

Even Concubine Chen Guifei did not realize that her way of addressing Concubine Ning had gradually changed from Ning's sister to Ning's sister, and now to Ning's sister.

The Emperor of Great Chu now understood everything. No wonder the girl answered in a panic just now. It turned out that she had lied. He was immediately angry, but considering that Concubine Chen was ill, he did not lose his temper in Qingyun Palace.

Meng Quande, who was standing by, broke out in a cold sweat when he heard what Concubine Chen Guifei said.

The Emperor of Great Chu hated the open and secret struggles in the harem the most. In recent years, he favored Concubine Chen, partly because she was very much like her sister and never played those tricks to compete for favor.

But the maidservant beside Concubine Ning was so bold that she even dared to deceive the Emperor of Chu.

The Great Chu Emperor looked at Jin Xin and Jin Yu and said, "You two must take good care of your queen and don't let her worry about palace affairs."

"Your Majesty still needs to talk to our queen," Jinyu has always been the best at speaking, "but we can't persuade the queen."

The Great Chu Emperor also chuckled upon hearing this: "Look at you."

But she changed the subject: "I have something else to discuss with you. Now that Concubine Ning is pregnant, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for her to take care of her. It would be better to hand over the matter of assisting the six palaces back to Concubine Lan."

"Your Majesty has considered everything. It is true that Concubine Ning should not be overworked," Concubine Chen Gui smiled, but she looked even weaker. "But Your Majesty still needs to ask Sister Lan. I see that Sister Lan has been doing nothing these days."

The Great Chu Emperor felt even more distressed when he saw her like this. He just stood up and covered her with a blanket: "Just take a good rest. I will take care of this matter."

Then he gave Jin Xin Jin Yu a few more words of advice and left Qing Yun Palace.

Jin Xin immediately closed the door of the inner room. Concubine Chen Gui asked hurriedly, "Did you leave?"

Jinyu quickly signaled to Concubine Chen: "Your Majesty, please keep your voice down. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. This is..."

She did not utter the words "crime of deceiving the emperor".

Concubine Chen Gui immediately stopped talking and lifted the quilt on her body: "I have to say, this actor is not something that everyone can do. It is really not easy. Next time I go to watch an opera, I will definitely give more money as a reward."

When the Great Chu Emperor left Qingyun Palace, his face turned cold: "Meng Quande, what is the name of the maidservant next to Concubine Ning?"

"Your Majesty, her name is Yun Ping," Meng Quande heard the unfriendly tone of the Great Chu Emperor and replied hurriedly, "Do you want to summon her?"

"Behead with a cane." The Great Chu Emperor said without any emotion.

Although Meng Quande had already guessed this outcome, he still asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, what about Concubine Ning..."

"The people around her dared to bully the emperor, and it was her idea," the Great Chu Emperor sneered with a gloomy face, "Go and tell her that no one can bully Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen's position in this palace cannot be shaken."

"Yes, I will do it right away." After saying this, he ordered the people beside him to serve His Majesty, and he took his people to the Ninghe Palace.

As for the Emperor of Great Chu, thinking of what he had just said in Qingyun Palace, he turned and went to Yanhe Palace.

The next morning, His Majesty issued an imperial decree that no one was allowed to disturb Concubine Chen Gui while she was recuperating, and she had a rare good sleep.

When she woke up, Imperial Doctor Lin and Doctor Zhao had been waiting outside for a long time. Jin Xin had been waiting outside the door for a long time, waiting for Concubine Chen to wake up so that she could rush in, for fear that Concubine Chen would betray her with a loud and powerful shout.

Fortunately, Jinxin rushed in just in time.

"Your Majesty, please speak more quietly. Imperial Physician Lin and Imperial Physician Zhao are already outside." Jin Xin hurried forward to tidy up Concubine Chen's clothes. This time, she didn't even put up the curtain and summoned the two imperial physicians in.

Imperial Physician Lin and Physician Zhao were carefully taking Concubine Chen's pulse, giving her a few instructions, and then were about to leave.

But before leaving, Doctor Zhao looked at Concubine Chen Guifei as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing him like this, Concubine Chen pretended to be weak and said, "Doctor Zhao, just tell me what you want to say."

Doctor Zhao then cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, now that you have contracted typhoid fever, you should not sleep in the same bed with the little princess. The little princess is still young, and you should not pass on the disease to her."

Concubine Chen then remembered that Lu Xingwan was still sleeping soundly beside her, and felt very embarrassed.

Jin Xin hurried forward to smooth things over for her own queen: "Don't blame me, Doctor Zhao. We can't help it. Princess Yong'an has always been used to sleeping with the queen. Last night, she kept crying and refused to fall asleep until she saw the queen. That's why we servants..."

Doctor Zhao naturally understood and nodded: "It's nothing we can do. Fortunately, the little princess has a good physique, so it should be fine."
