Chapter 2374: Concubine Jing invites favor
Nianqiu stood by the bed, carefully wiping Xinping's body. Nanyan waited for a while and asked, "Is it done?"
Nian Qiu said, "It's done. It will be done soon."
She wrung out a towel soaked in hot water, carefully wiped Xinping's back, and then found a set of clean clothes for her to change into.
Turning around, he said, "My Lady, everything is done."
Nan Yan nodded: "Alright, you all can go down."
"Then your Majesty, you——"
"I'll just be with her alone."
Although everyone was a little worried, there was really nothing they could do at the moment. Besides, the prescription had just arrived from the Imperial Hospital, and they had to go down and watch over the small stove to boil the medicine.
Then he withdrew.
Nan Yan stayed alone by the bed, looking at her daughter's eyes which were still closed.
She wanted to cry, but because she cried too much the day before, her eyes were extremely dry and even blinking was very painful.
My eyes hurt and were red.
She forced a smile, leaned over, put her face against her daughter's, felt her weak breathing, and said softly: "Xinping, don't be afraid, mother is by your side."
"No matter what happens, Mom will always be there for you and protect you."
"But you, you have to be good too."
"You need to wake up sooner. You still have a great life ahead of you. Don't waste it like this, okay?"

On the other side, although Zhu Feng also attended the morning court, he was worried about his daughter. The ministers were arguing heatedly about what they were discussing, but he was distracted several times.
Eventually, a few simple things worked out.
He simply handed over several other difficult matters to the cabinet for handling, but he himself did not go to the cabinet.
Because I spent almost the entire day yesterday with Nanyan and Xinping, the memorials in the imperial study had already piled up half the table.
He could only stay in the imperial study and review memorials.
Just as he was laboriously reviewing the manuscript, a graceful figure came walking down the path outside the imperial study. It was Concubine Jing, Shen Lianxiang.
She heard that after the morning court session, the emperor came to the imperial study, while the imperial concubine stayed in the bedroom to take care of Princess Xinping, so she specially brought a cup of tonic and hurried over.
As soon as he reached the door, Eunuch Yu came forward to greet him.
"Empress Jing."
"Eunuch Jade,"
Chen Lianxiang smiled and said to him, "I came here to bring some supplements to the Emperor. I heard that the Emperor stayed at the Princess's place all night yesterday, and I'm afraid he didn't get enough rest."
Eunuch Yu said, "Please forgive me, Concubine Jing. The Emperor is very busy with government affairs today. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you."
"What?"
Jingpin frowned slightly, but still managed to smile patiently, "How did you know this when the eunuch hasn't even asked the emperor?"
“…”
"At least, ask."
Eunuch Yu glanced at her and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I'll go in and tell the Empress."
"Thank you for your help."
Chen Lianxiang stood at the door, waiting excitedly.
You know, Zhu Feng had let her into the imperial study several times before, and she almost went to his own Xianfu Palace.
It’s all because of that Princess Xinping, who comes to disturb me every time.
This time, she was lying half-dead on the bed, and the imperial concubine was heartbroken and there was no way she could disturb her anymore.
She was looking forward to it.
At this time, Eunuch Yu came out and bowed to her. Chen Lianxiang was delighted and was about to go inside.
But Eunuch Yu smiled and said, "Please forgive me, Concubine Jing. The Emperor said he doesn't want to see anyone."
