The child is already so big, she has no idea whether the emperor has done anything during this period of time. Even if she starts to take strict precautions now, she may not be able to give birth to the child in her belly.
Besides, this is the imperial palace!
I’m afraid those imperial doctors cannot be trusted.
Just by sitting quietly, sweat had already seeped out of Lin Chunhuan's forehead, and when the wind blew, she shivered with cold!
"What happened to Ah Huan?"
In Changchun Palace, the emperor arrived in a hurry, his expression full of panic, but he was also mindful of the remaining chill on his body. He stood by the brazier for a long time before walking over to the bed and holding the slender hand exposed outside the quilt. "You were fine yesterday."
"How come you caught such a severe cold today? How on earth do the servants in this palace take care of you?"
Just a light shout scared all the servants in the room, and they knelt on the ground in panic. Chunyu was no exception. She knelt at the emperor's feet, not daring to breathe.
The entire palace belongs to the emperor. Of course he knew that Lin Chunhuan had been outside in the cold wind for most of the day.
But as long as he doesn't think it's the Imperial Concubine's problem, then it definitely isn't!
"Your Majesty, cough, cough, cough..." He had just opened his mouth when continuous coughing sounds could not wait to overflow from his mouth, and even the paleness on his face was diluted a little by the blush.
The pain in his face was enough to make people feel distressed just by looking at it. The emperor even took a shallow breath. "Ah Huan, please stop talking. The most important thing now is to get well."
"As for these servants."
The eyes that were gentle just a moment ago turned as cold as ice. The emperor raised his chin slightly and said, "If you can't even take care of the master, there's no point in keeping him."
"Just replace them all. I'll have the Ministry of Internal Affairs select a batch of better ones for you."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Chunhuan's heart skipped a beat.
She knew that the brief meeting with Concubine Shu yesterday could not be hidden from the emperor. Of course, she did not know that all this was the emperor's work before.
So I didn't even think about hiding it.
However, what the emperor is doing now... is simply proving that everything Concubine Shu said is true!
"Your Majesty, people who eat all kinds of grains will inevitably get sick. If you punish the servants in the palace for this, then I'm afraid my Changchun Palace will not be able to accommodate anyone."
"Your Majesty, please show mercy. These are all unfortunate children. Please let them stay."
Over the past few months, she had worked hard to cultivate some confidants, and there was no way she would allow the emperor to replace them so easily.
However, the emperor's expression did not seem unusual. He just stroked her hand carefully and said, "Ah Huan has always been kind."
"I'll do as you say this time, but from now on, your kindness should be tempered with a bit of edge, otherwise you'll just be letting others bully you."
It was clearly the same gentle and doting tone as before. Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and showed a hint of a smile. She clearly... saw a threatening look in such gentle eyes!
Her smile softened as she took the emperor's hand in hers and said, "I understand, but as long as you are here, I and the child will always have someone to protect me."
"I know you love your servants, but there must be rules. Let each of you receive five strokes of the cane."
The emperor's tone was cold, and Lin Chunhuan did not refute it.
If you continue to protect them, it will only make the other party suspicious, which will not be worth the loss.
By the time the emperor left Changchun Palace, the servants in the palace were already wailing. Those who were in better health were fine, but their faces looked a little ugly. Those who were in poorer health could not even get out of bed after being beaten with five boards.
Chunyu is still young and is also one of them.
But the master must always have someone close to him to serve him.
Lin Chunhuan looked at the woman in front of him coldly, his expression showing no emotion. "Are you Yun Tao?"
"To answer your Majesty, I was previously serving the Emperor. The Emperor felt sorry for you and knew that Miss Chunyu, who was with you, was not feeling well, so he specially asked me to take over for a while."
"If there is anything I have done wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty. During this time, I will do my best to serve you."
Yuntao is a sweet-looking girl with warm smiling eyes. She looks like a simple and unpretentious girl. Such an appearance can easily make people let down their guard.
However, Lin Chunhuan is not among them.
She has seen quite a few situations like this. Ruo Yuntao is really a simple-minded person. Not to mention whether she has the chance to be selected by the emperor and sent to Changchun Palace.
I'm afraid she wouldn't have the chance to stay by the emperor's side with such a face.
There is not enough room for her as a queen!
But the queen not only tolerated such a person, but even made him be highly valued by the emperor. There are many twists and turns in this.
It’s not difficult to guess if you use your brain.
"You are someone close to the emperor and represent his reputation. I dare not have any opinions about you." Lin Chunhuan said indifferently with a hint of sarcasm.
But facing such criticism, Yun Tao's face did not show even a trace of embarrassment. She only smiled and saluted, "This servant is just a servant. How can I have such a big face to represent the emperor?"
"My Lady, please stop making fun of this servant."
Lin Chunhuan coldly looked the man up and down before retracting his gaze and coughing softly a few times. "Alright, since you can stay by the emperor's side, I think you must be quite capable in all aspects."
"Then come over and comb my hair."
Yun Tao responded softly, and her movements with the comb were skillful and gentle, which made the exquisite hairstyle extraordinarily delicate without making it feel uncomfortable at all.
When she put down the comb in her hand, Yun Tao knelt down again and said, "Madam, please take a look and see if you are satisfied. If not, I will start over again."
Even with so many memories of rapid reincarnation, there was really nothing wrong with Yun Tao's craftsmanship.
Just based on this skill of combing hair, even if she is not in the palace, she will be valued by the mistress of any wealthy family!
For a long time afterwards, everything seemed to have settled down. Lin Chunhuan's cold improved, and he no longer had to drink the bitter medicine that made his tongue numb.
Chunyu and other original servants of Changchun Palace also gradually recovered.
But the emperor had no intention of letting Yun Tao leave. Without the order from above, the people below naturally did not dare to act on their own.
Yun Tao actually did nothing, but her existence was like a soft thorn, nailing Lin Chunhuan's heart, making her unable to move easily.
"Empress..." Chunyu pursed her lips and shook her head slightly as she looked at Lin Chunhuan.
This was the second time. In about half a month, she asked Chunyu to see Nanny Xiang twice, but was stopped each time for various reasons.
This has never happened before!
