"See, see me. Did the lady tell you why she wanted to see me? How is the lady feeling now? Is she still angry? Is she feeling unwell? Do you want to call the palace doctor?"
Baohuan was angry and rolled his eyes to the sky. He knew from the look on his wife's face that she was not feeling well. It was all his fault. Baohuan's tone was not very good either.
"If you want to know how the lady is doing, just go in and take a look."
Rong Xi heard the familiar footsteps and sat up slowly from the bed. Her long black hair fell to one side like a waterfall. Her white pajamas seemed as light as clouds. Coupled with her cat-like laziness when she just woke up, Shen Ze'an, who had just entered, couldn't help but feel a little dazed, as if time had stopped at this moment.
His heart was pounding and he really felt sick. At this moment, his mind was full of the scenes of the two of them together last night.
"Why are you standing there? Come and see your masterpiece."
Chen Ze'an walked over with a red face. Rong Xi peeled off her hair, and her fair neck seemed to be covered with peach blossoms, dazzling and charming.
He had seen these traces a long time ago, not only here, but also in other places. He was the one who applied the medicine himself.
"Xi'er, I'm sorry. I was too reckless last night. Don't worry, I'll be gentler next time."
Rong Xi slapped away the person who was about to reach out and touch him, mumbling, "Let's talk about this incident first. When did you start to change? Why didn't you tell me?"
Shen Ze'an withdrew his hand that was about to touch Rong Xi. His eyes became a little complicated, as if he had a thousand words to say but didn't know how to start. He could only swallow slowly, trying to ease the tense and awkward atmosphere.
"Actually, I started to feel a little different after I took the medicine for the first time. I didn't know how to bring it up with you, but it slowly got out of control. Every time I wanted to tell you, something else would interrupt me, and I've been putting it off until now."
"Then if I hadn't gone...hadn't looked for you last night, you would have never planned to tell me."
Shen Zean immediately extended his hand to assure, “I want to tell you, I have been looking for the right time. In fact, the time was quite suitable last night.”
Rong Xi still felt uncomfortable and wanted to lie down after sitting for a while.
"Go out now, and ask Baohuan to bring me some food."
She was almost starving to death. Shen Ze'an had indeed left, but soon returned to the bedroom with the noodles he had cooked himself.
"Xi'er, how about trying it?"
Rong Xi didn't think that he had made it himself, so he picked up the bowl and started eating.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
"Chef Lin, the vinegar bottle must have been knocked over. Why did you put so much vinegar in there?"
"I remembered you like jealousy, so I put more."
"Even if you like it, you can't eat it like this. It's a bit too sour."
System [Rongxi, this is done by the task object.]
"What!? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
System: [Who knew you could talk so fast?]
Rong Xi took another big bite and said, "But it's still delicious. Give the chef some reward."
Shen Zean's eyes lit up immediately, "You like it!"
"Well, it tastes pretty good. Haven't you eaten it before? Do you want to try it? It tastes really good."
He had tasted it and found it a bit sour, but thinking that Rong Xi liked it, he put so much in it.
"I've eaten it, you can have it. As long as you like it, I'll make it for you next time."
"You did this?"
Rong Xi pretended to be surprised. It had been a really difficult day.
"Well, I haven't done it for a long time, so my skills may be a little rusty."
"I didn't expect you could cook."
"You have to learn everything in the palace. If you can't do it yourself, you might starve to death."
"Well done, make it spicy for me next time."
"If you like, I'll do it for you."
Rong Xi, who had replenished her strength, was eaten up again by someone at night. She swore that she really wanted to sleep in a separate room. Her fitness pills were almost no match for this man's physical strength.
.
After a few days of this, Rong Xi became like the person whose vital energy had been sucked away. His legs felt weak and he saw double.
Just when she was trying every possible way to sleep in a separate bed, news came from the palace that the Queen wanted her to come in for a talk.
Rong Xi didn't think twice, packed up his things and went to the palace, and then he would think of a reason to stay in the palace for a few days. He really couldn't stand Shen Ze'an anymore.
The people sent by the Queen to greet Rong Xi at the palace gate were waiting anxiously. When they saw Rong Xi's carriage, they went forward, fearing that Rong Xi would be kidnapped by someone else.
"Hail, Princess. The Queen has sent me to pick you up. Please follow me."
Rong Xi saw that the person who came didn't look very good, and was so anxious to ask someone to come here to pick him up, so he thought something had happened.
"Well, lead the way."
Rong Xi hadn't paid attention to what was happening in the palace recently. He only heard Chen Ze'an mention that the emperor had a new favorite palace maid. The maid was very beautiful and quite capable, and was very much liked by the emperor.
Did the Queen ask her to enter the palace because of this matter?
"System, what happened to the Queen?"
Just after asking, Rong Xi heard the sound of the system tapping on the keyboard.
System [Rong Xi, the Queen is pregnant.]
"Oh, it's a happy event, but the maid doesn't look very happy."
The system didn't say anything, and he didn't look at the specific details. This was not his host or the object of his mission. The only reason he could take a second look at it was because of Rong Xi.
We soon arrived at the Queen's palace, and as soon as we entered the palace, we smelled the unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine.
The maid explained, "The Queen has been feeling unwell these past few days, and there are some Chinese medicines in the small kitchen."
The queen had been looking forward to it for a long time. When she heard the sound outside the door, she came out to greet Rong Xi without even waiting for her to go in.
"Ninth sister, you are here, come in quickly."
The queen didn't care about etiquette and came over to support Rong Xi, and the two of them walked into the inner room together.
The queen's maid was also considerate. As soon as the two of them sat down, she dismissed the palace servants around them and left the space for them.
"The Queen has come to me this time, isn't it just to talk?"
"Ninth sister is very smart. Now I really have no other options. I can only ask Ninth sister to help me come up with some ideas."
"Tell me, what's going on."
The queen touched her belly and said, "Ninth sister, I am pregnant." Her face was full of worry.
"It's a good thing. The Queen doesn't seem very happy."
The queen stood up, took a few steps forward, and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Ninth sister, you should also know that the baby in my belly is not His Majesty's first child, but until now, no children have been born in the palace. Do you know why?"
"Someone is behind this."
"Well, I don't know who that person is. Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I've been terrified. I'm afraid he'd do something to me and harm my unborn child. And even now, I still haven't figured out who sent my portrait to Qing Country, or what their purpose was."
Rong Xi knew that her worries were not unfounded. Everyone yearned for the palace, but they did not know that the palace was the place where people were cruelly exploited.
"So, what do you want me to do?"
