She thought she was dreaming again.
Although Doctor Cui was still as old-fashioned as ever and was not at all close to her, he was at least willing to talk to her.
Concubine Shu complained to him as Jiang Yi said. Concubine Shu was really miserable. She couldn't help crying and couldn't stop crying. She leaned on Doctor Cui's shoulder. Doctor Cui wanted to push her away, which showed that she was so sad that she couldn't bear it for a moment.
Concubine Shu's tears wet Doctor Cui's clothes, and it was hard for Doctor Cui not to feel distressed.
He just has to restrain himself.
Fortunately, Concubine Shu now knows her limits and did not do anything extra. She watched Doctor Cui leave.
After a few days like this, Concubine Shu became increasingly dissatisfied.
Doctor Cui was good in every way except that he was too old-fashioned. She didn't even dare sit too close to him.
It is difficult to get him to make further progress given his old-fashioned personality, and Concubine Shu sees almost no hope.
But she couldn't bear to do it.
She dreams of Imperial Physician Cui every night. At first, she was attracted by his beauty, but now Concubine Shu feels that she is really obsessed with him.
She wants to marry him.
But she is a concubine, how can she marry Doctor Cui?
Because of this depression, she began to feel sick.
Jiang Yi came to visit her, which surprised Concubine Shu.
"What's wrong with you? Could it be lovesickness?"
Concubine Shu didn't say anything.
"I can offer you a suggestion. It all depends on whether you are willing to give up your current wealth and splendor."
Concubine Shu sat up suddenly.
"What's the idea?"
"Would you be so kind?"
Jiang Yi said: "Of course this is not just for you."
"Oh, you want to monopolize the emperor."
When the emperor was mentioned again, Concubine Shu felt that her heart had calmed down. Her heart and eyes were filled with that handsome, shy, and overly old-fashioned little imperial physician.
"I was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion and was doted on by my parents. After I came of age, I became the Crown Prince's Consort, and now the Consort. Wealth and honor are easily within my reach, but finding a true soulmate is extremely difficult. Now, I don't want anything except Doctor Cui."
Jiang Yi said, "Then wait a while. I will ask the emperor to arrange for you to fake your death and leave the palace. From now on, you will be Madam Cui."
"Is this okay? Will the emperor agree?" Concubine Shu was extremely excited.
"The Emperor has no intention of letting you waste your time in the palace, but before that, you must act out a scene for me and the Emperor in front of the Empress Dowager and the Empress."
Concubine Shu settled down for the time being.
The Queen Mother summoned Concubine Shu to question her, "I heard that you have been calling the imperial physician every day these past few days, but you are not feeling well."
Concubine Shu said, "I have been unable to eat these days. I thought I was pregnant, but it turned out to be false."
The Queen Mother's forehead jumped, "You and the Emperor, are they together?"
Concubine Shu said, "I guess so. It's just that I used some tricks and earned the emperor's dislike. I'm afraid I won't have another chance in the future."
The Empress Dowager also knew that Concubine Shu had been wanting to meet the Emperor by chance recently and had been going to the Jinhua Palace frequently.
The Queen Mother never expected that she could actually succeed.
"What means did you use?" asked the Queen Mother.
Concubine Shu was a little hesitant to speak, but under the Empress Dowager's questioning, she finally said, "I drugged the Emperor."
The Queen Mother knew what was going on.
"It's not a big deal. Don't do this in the future. The emperor can't always remember this." The empress dowager said these two words indifferently.
She originally wanted to use Concubine Shu to find out the emperor's true intentions and know that the emperor was not just targeting Jiang Yi. That would be enough.
Given her position as a concubine, even if she became pregnant, it was impossible for her to raise the child.
Gu Niaoniao has been staying with her for a while, and her health is in good condition. After some time, Jiang Yi will naturally not be able to serve the emperor.
At that time, she summoned the emperor over, and there was no need to worry about good things happening.
Gu Niaoniao had made a big mistake before, and now she is just a small child. If she gives birth to a child in the future, it will naturally be her who will raise it.
This child is close to her and has the support of his maternal grandfather, Marquis Wu'an, so it is possible that he will become the crown prince in the future.
Jiang Yi was just the daughter of a minor official, so her son was naturally not presentable.
In this way, she, the empress dowager, would not be suffocated by a concubine.
The Queen Mother had a plan in mind and said, "Many concubines in the palace are eager to compete for favor, and the Queen is no exception. You have always been simple-minded. If you meet the Queen, don't tell her that you have served her in the bedroom."
"Lest the Queen take advantage of the situation."
If the queen had a legitimate son, all the queen mother's plans would naturally come to nothing.
What the Empress Dowager said was exactly the same as what Jiang Yi said, so Concubine Shu nodded.
The Empress Dowager called Concubine Shu over just to ask this. Now that her goal has been achieved, she wants Concubine Shu to leave.
I didn't expect that as soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Concubine Shu sniffing.
"Empress Dowager, why is there an unusual smell in your palace? It's like the smell of someone having fun. Could it be that one of the little palace maids in your palace is having an affair with a guard?" Concubine Shu said quickly.
She has now gained more experience and knows what this taste is like.
The Queen Mother's face suddenly turned red.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There is no such person hanging around in my palace. What do you know? You are just talking nonsense here."
Concubine Shu was not convinced, "How could I not understand? I didn't understand before, but now I understand. The taste is very similar."
The Queen Mother said: "Go on, go ...
After the Queen Mother scolded Concubine Shu away, she covered her rapidly beating heart with her hands, feeling somewhat frightened.
Not long after Marquis Wu'an left, he came over to ask about Gu Niaoniao's sleeping with him, which was why the Empress Dowager summoned Concubine Shu.
Shufei naturally didn't understand these things, so the empress dowager didn't care. But she didn't expect that Shufei not only understood them, but she also shouted them out.
The Queen Mother's good mood disappeared in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, it was November and Jiang Yi was already eight months pregnant.
Her belly is quite big.
Gu Niaoniao's health was getting better day by day. The empress dowager calculated the date and invited the emperor to come.
