Chapter 18 Win or Lose



As soon as these words were spoken, Qixiang Palace fell silent. Emperor Xuanjing was stunned for only a moment before he stood up to change his clothes and asked, "Have you summoned the imperial physician?"

Wang Fuhai didn't dare to neglect it and knelt down and said, "I've already asked Doctor Zhou from the Imperial Hospital to come over. He said the fever is caused by indigestion. The problem isn't too serious, but Princess Baohua is crying loudly and wants to see father..."

Although it is not a big problem, Princess Baohua is the only child of Emperor Xuan Jing, so he values ​​her very much.

Emperor Xuan Jing remained silent, but he had already put on his clothes, and it seemed that he was about to go to Zhaoyang Palace.

Bai Susu complained in her heart behind the bed curtains. After only two nights of sleeping together, Concubine Hui could no longer hold back.

It is rumored that Concubine Hui is extremely jealous, and it seems to be true.

However, using Princess Baohua as a raft was not a wise move by Concubine Hui.

She pulled open the bed curtains with her hands and called softly, "Your Majesty~"

Emperor Xuan Jing paused as he was about to leave. He had been distracted by He Jia and had completely lost all desire. He only wanted to go to Zhaoyang Palace and had forgotten about Bai Susu on the couch...

She left her palace late at night, fearing that she would be laughed at tomorrow.

He stopped and glanced back at Bai Susu. His voice was filled with guilt as he said, "I'm going to Zhaoyang Palace. You should go to bed early."

The opened bed curtain revealed Bai Susu's little face. Her eyes were full of sparkling autumn water, with a blush at the corners of her eyes, still carrying the hint of the passion just now.

However, now her eyes were filled with worry. Bai Susu put on her coat, got off the bed, and spoke softly, "Your Majesty, the princess is young, and a high fever is no small matter. I understand. Please go and see her immediately."

Her voice was gentle, as if it had the effect of soothing people's hearts. Emperor Xuan Jing looked at her deeply. Since He Jia was sick, he must go.

Although I didn't have much contact with Bai Susu, I knew that she was simple-minded and would not hide her emotions. I originally thought that she would be petty or feel aggrieved, but unexpectedly, her eyes were so pure and gentle, full of worry about the child.

Emperor Xuan Jing felt a warm feeling in his heart. Bai Susu was a sensible person, so naturally he liked her even more.

He nodded and then left Qixiang Hall.

The imperial carriage went from Qixiang Palace to Zhaoyang Palace late at night, which naturally caused quite a stir in the palace.

The newcomers to the palace secretly envy Concubine Hui. It is true that Concubine Hui is so favored. Even though Concubine Bai is so beautiful when she first enters the palace, can't she resist Concubine Hui's snatching her away?

Having given birth to the emperor's only child, you are the first in the emperor's heart.

But the old men in the palace scoffed at this. The emperor was busy with all kinds of affairs and had few opportunities to favor his concubines. At least compared with the dozens of concubines of the previous emperor, the current emperor's harem had only so many people, which was really not enough.

The emperor is cold and reserved. Compared to government affairs, beauty is just a distraction in his spare time.

However, as the emperor grew older, his need for offspring also increased.

Since Concubine Hui gave birth to a daughter five years ago, the Emperor has indeed been more diligent in visiting Concubine Hui's palace. As a result, he has favored Concubine Hui and even coveted the throne of Queen.

But what does it matter if she is spoiled? It has been five years, Princess Baohua is five years old, and Concubine Hui is still not pregnant?

Although Princess Baohua is a good girl, she is a daughter and cannot inherit the throne.

Concubine Hui was also very anxious. She had been very impulsive and reckless in the past few years, which had greatly offended the Queen. If she fell out of favor, how could she have a good life?

That's why this stupid move happened.

It was indeed a stupid move.

Zhaoyang Palace

Concubine Hui cried so hard that she almost fell into Emperor Xuan Jing's arms: "Your Majesty, our princess has really suffered. She was feeling uncomfortable and couldn't sleep. She kept calling for father..."

Although her eyes were red from crying, a closer look revealed that her makeup was complete, her hair was gorgeous, and her dress was exquisite.

The whole person is dressed up!

Seeing her like this, how could Emperor Xuan Jing have a good face, especially when he saw Princess Baohua sobbing in her sleep with her face flushed red, the fire in his heart was flaring up in clusters.

"How could the wet nurse and the servants have taken such good care of the princess that she actually had food indigestion? Don't they know that the princess is young and has a weak spleen and stomach, and can't eat food that is difficult to digest?"

Concubine Hui stopped crying and was naturally shocked. The emperor was openly talking about the wet nurse and the servants, but in fact, he was also saying that she, as a mother, was incompetent!

She knelt on the ground in fear, her voice trembling, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know that the princess has a weak spleen and stomach, but she has always liked the glutinous rice candied lotus root, and I haven't eaten it for a long time. When she acted coquettishly, my heart softened. I didn't expect that I would get sick."

She touched the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief, bent down even lower, and said sadly: "If the emperor wants to punish me, punish me! Anyway, the princess is suffering now, and as her biological mother, I should share her pain. If I could, I really want all the pain to be on me."

She spoke so sadly that her body trembled slightly. Seeing her like this, how could Emperor Xuan Jing still be angry?

He helped her up, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and comforted her with a few words.

He then asked the imperial physician about the princess's condition.

Doctor Zhou answered tremblingly. The princess had always been in good health, and he was very afraid of her sudden illness.

Fortunately, it was just a small matter, but he was still very cautious. He chewed the sentence in his mouth two or three times before reporting it to the emperor.

Emperor Xuan Jing had been the emperor for so many years, how could he not understand the meaning behind the imperial physician's words?

He felt relieved to know that He Jia was okay.

However, when Concubine Hui invited him to rest in the inner palace, he refused and stayed with He Jia all night until He Jia's fever subsided, and he returned to the Yangxin Palace.

Although Concubine Hui won Bai Susu this time, she lost the emperor's heart.

The emperor came, the princess saw it, punished the wet nurse and the people who served the princess, and then left.

He also scolded Concubine Hui openly and secretly.

Concubine Hui naturally felt uncomfortable, and her face looked ugly until the next day.

Naturally, the people in the palace also laughed at the joke.
