Wang Fuhai thought for a moment and understood what Emperor Xuan Jing meant. He responded and sent the eunuch out to inquire.
There are no secrets in this palace, not to mention that Concubine Hui and Bai Susu made quite a fuss today.
In just a quarter of an hour, the young eunuch had found out every detail of the matter.
Wang Fuhai replied to Emperor Xuan Jing: "...I heard that after Concubine Bai fainted, the Empress came out to take charge of the situation and asked Concubine Bai to go back for treatment first."
"What did the imperial physician say?"
"It was Imperial Physician Liu from the Imperial Hospital who went to Qixiang Palace and said that Lady Bai was just suffering from heatstroke."
At this point, Wang Fuhai couldn't help but hesitate. It was already autumn, and he was still suffering from heatstroke. It sounded like an excuse. He must have been feigning faintness...
What would the emperor think? He secretly looked at the emperor's face, but to his surprise, the emperor was not angry, but actually smiling.
When Emperor Xuan Jing heard that Bai Susu had fainted, he was indeed panicked for a moment, but he then remembered Lin Yuanzheng's diagnosis of Bai Susu's pulse, which showed that she was very healthy.
Thinking about how she could eat and drink well on weekdays, she didn't look weak at all. Sure enough, when she said she had a heatstroke, he knew that Bai Susu was pretending.
He couldn't help but chuckle, he was a smart one.
Maybe Emperor Xuan Jing himself didn't realize that he was feeling much more relaxed now than when he first thought Bai Susu had fainted.
Wang Fuhai heard Emperor Xuan Jing snort coldly: "Slippery."
Then there was no further words. Wang Fuhai was sweating when he reported. Is this the result?
It seemed that the Emperor had no intention of punishing Lady Bai, so Wang Fuhai brought up Concubine Hui again: "After the Empress left, Concubine Hui was furious. For unknown reasons, she had Su Yue, the senior palace maid, whipped thirty times. I heard that the skin on her back was bruised and she couldn't get out of bed."
Wang Fuhai was furious. It was obvious that Concubine Hui did not take the lives of servants like them seriously. It was probably difficult to find a concubine more cruel and ruthless than Concubine Hui in the entire palace.
Emperor Xuan Jing's face turned grim after hearing this. No one would like a woman who was so vicious. Was it because he had doted on her too much?
Emperor Xuan Jing felt a dull pain in his temples, and his impatience with Concubine Hui had reached its peak. He was even considering whether to give He Jia to someone else to raise.
Concubine Hui was becoming more and more unscrupulous, and he didn't want to learn such bad things from Jiaxue.
But Huifei was Hejia's biological mother after all, and she doted on Hejia very much. His biological mother died early, and he grew up under the care of the empress dowager. Needless to say, the sadness of this was heartbreaking.
He knew how sad it was to be away from his biological mother, so he let Concubine Hui raise He Jia.
If it is handed over to someone else... the emperor was completely clueless for a moment. Logically speaking, the queen is the most suitable, but the queen's health is getting worse, and raising a child requires a lot of energy.
Emperor Xuan Jing sighed inwardly, there were too few children in the palace, which led to the loss of checks and balances, allowing Concubine Hui to become so carried away and also restricting his own actions.

Changchun Palace
When the Queen learned that Concubine Hui had personally gone to the Imperial Study to invite the Emperor, she scoffed inwardly, "She's becoming even more shameless. How dare she go to the Imperial Study?"
Nanny Zhang was beside the Empress, rubbing her back to soothe her. Seeing the Empress's sallow complexion, she said with a look of heartache, "The Empress, please don't let those bitches make you sick. It's not worth it."
The Queen looked at the medicine bowl beside her, her heart grumbling with bitterness. What on earth did Concubine Hui have? Beauty? Or refinement? Just because she had a pregnant belly, she dared to openly compete with her for her child.
Today is the fifteenth day, the day the emperor comes to Changchun Palace without fail!
