"This...this..." Concubine Hui's eyes rolled rapidly, but she couldn't say that Bai Susu didn't kneel! She did kneel, but she fainted not long after kneeling, or she was pretending to be faint!
"Your Majesty, she did kneel, but she didn't stay there for long before she fainted. The weather is cool today, so it's impossible for her to have heatstroke. She was clearly pretending to faint."
Emperor Xuan Jing didn't want to listen to Concubine Hui's arguments anymore. He stood up and said, "Whether she is pretending to faint or not, the imperial physician will judge. I will also ask the Empress when I go to Changchun Palace later."
He turned to leave, but then glanced back at Concubine Hui, his face slightly colder, and said, "You think Concubine Bai is disrespectful to you, but are you respectful to the Empress? He Jia is still young and is learning etiquette. I hope that those around her will understand the rules."
As soon as Emperor Xuan Jing said this, Concubine Hui's body swayed, and she seemed to have lost half of her strength and collapsed to the ground. Nanny Sun came forward to help her, her face full of worry: "Your Majesty..."
Concubine Hui's face turned pale. She clenched her teeth, but her words still trembled a little: "Mammy, the emperor doesn't want me to raise Jia'er anymore. He wants to take Jia'er away from me."
Nanny Sun was horrified and cried out in disbelief, "How could this be? Your Majesty, don't worry about it. You are the princess's biological mother. How could the emperor let the princess leave you?"
Concubine Hui closed her eyes and said nothing more. Tears flowed down her cheeks like a curtain. Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, Concubine Hui could hear it. Fear and panic surged from all directions, almost drowning Concubine Hui.
She knew that the princess was everything to her and she had to hold the princess firmly in her hands.

Changchun Palace
The queen's uneasy heart finally settled down when she heard that the emperor had arrived.
The two were a young couple, and the tacit understanding between them was self-evident. Emperor Xuan Jing personally helped the queen up, and seeing that she looked thin, he asked a few questions about the queen's health with concern.
The queen answered them one by one, with a gentle smile on her face the whole time.
Seeing a hint of fatigue between Emperor Xuan Jing's brows, she said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed early."
Her earlobes turned red. After taking off her jewels and pearls, she was no longer the graceful and noble queen, but just a woman who longed for the pity of her lover.
Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes moved and he nodded.
The queen personally helped the emperor change his clothes, and then the two of them got on the bed.
Emperor Xuan Jing was in his prime, full of vigor and vitality, and with strong desires, but he could never satisfy himself in front of the empress.
The Queen was so frail that Emperor Xuan Jing was afraid that if he indulged her even a little, she would fall seriously ill.
After a restrained love affair, Emperor Xuan Jing closed his eyes and fell asleep. Although the queen was physically tired, she was faintly excited in her heart.
She has been taking the medicine for quite some time, and she served the emperor in bed today, which means there is a high probability that she is pregnant.
However, the medicine not only needs to be drunk before sex, but also after... you also need to drink a bowl of it.
Emperor Xuan Jing was not sleeping soundly, and he noticed the Queen getting out of bed.
Looking at the shadowy figures outside, Emperor Xuan Jing opened the curtain and slowly sat up.
The queen took a sip of warm water to suppress the bitterness in her mouth, and then waved away Nanny Zhang.
She turned around and was about to get on the bed, but unexpectedly she saw Emperor Xuan Jing sitting up.
She was startled, but remained calm. She asked softly, "Your Majesty, why aren't you resting yet? Did I wake you up?"
The hall was actually dark, with only a faint glow of moonlight coming from outside.
Emperor Xuan Jing saw that the empress was very thin and her pajamas looked extremely loose.
He sighed inwardly and said, "Nothing, I'm a little thirsty, can you pour me a glass of water?"
In fact, the queen was always worried, fearing that Emperor Xuan Jing would ask her even a few questions.
It's because Emperor Xuan Jing didn't want her to drink these messy medicines.
It is no secret that she has been taking care of her body, and it has been going on for a long time.
At the beginning, the emperor agreed as long as it did not harm her body. But later, because her body became weaker and weaker and she was often bedridden, the emperor ordered her to take good care of herself and not to focus on having a child.
But the queen was stubborn. How could she let the emperor down when he treated her so well? She wanted to give him a legitimate son!
Why could Concubine Hui give birth but she couldn't? Was it because she was born weak?
Every time this happened, she hated this body immensely, which made her even more obsessed. As long as she could give birth to a prince, she would be willing to do so even if it cost her her life immediately.
After Emperor Xuan Jing finished his tea, the two of them lay down again, looking at each other in silence. They were not far from each other, but there was always a narrow gap between them.
The queen clenched her palms and wanted to say something. The emperor didn't ask, but she didn't feel any better.
She wanted to talk about how she had gotten through the past few years, how much medicine she had taken, and how much suffering she had endured, just because she wanted to have a child.
But because of her incompetence, there has been no legitimate son in the palace so far, and she has not even had any good news. She seemed unable to say these words.
She is incompetent!
Emperor Xuan Jing closed his eyes and quietly felt this powerlessness. He was an emperor, ruling the world, but he had no prince who could inherit his cause.
This is sad, but Emperor Xuan Jing is extremely strong-willed. He has always believed that as long as you pay the corresponding price, you can get everything.
For example, his throne, but how could he be so powerless when there was a prince.
The Queen's action of drinking the medicine aroused Emperor Xuan Jing's inner frustration and powerlessness, which was also the reason why he did not like to come to Changchun Palace. The Queen was a good person. She was gentle, dignified, sensible, and could manage the harem in an orderly manner.
