Rong Xi was a little speechless. This really treated her like a child.
"Oh, don't worry. I've been in and out of this palace countless times. Who can touch me? And didn't you ask Lu Yu to follow me? Nothing will happen, don't worry."
Shen Ze'an was really worried, and he wanted to go with them, but that was the harem, and no matter how powerful he was, there was no reason for him to go in without being summoned.
After Rong Xi entered the palace, Shen Ze'an had been waiting in the carriage.
He still had a lot of things to arrange, but he was not at all worried about this place. He thought that if he waited here, he would be able to rush in as soon as possible if something happened in the palace.
But these people really put in a lot of effort, and they were anxious and uneasy, asking Lu Zhou about the time again and again.
Lu Zhou was somewhat speechless. The lady had just entered and probably hadn't even reached the Queen's Palace yet, but the Governor had already asked for the second time.
But what did he dare to say? He could only answer over and over again.
Rong Xi, who had been worried about, was now sitting in the Queen's Palace.
She didn't expect that the queen would become so weak after not seeing her for such a short time. Her face was pale and bloodless, and her lips were blue and purple.
The queen suppressed her nausea and drank the pregnancy-maintaining medicine. Just as she wanted to say a few words to Rong Xi, her stomach churned and she vomited violently.
The baby in the queen's belly is now almost four months old, and it is the time for morning sickness.
But Rong Xi was not like that. Seeing her vomiting like this, her stomach began to churn.
Seeing that the queen was finally feeling better, Rong Xi asked, "Has your queen been like this all this time?"
Caijuan's face was full of worry, and she spoke to Rongxi with a choked voice.
"Princess Nine, our queen has been like this for a while now. She can't eat or sleep. The most important thing is that the morning sickness is really severe. Our queen has lost a lot of weight."
Rong Xi could see it, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Ninth Sister."
The Queen's voice was weak and there were obvious dark circles under her eyes. Rong Xi saw that she had lost the plump and beautiful figure of the past few months.
"Nothing, I wonder why the Queen has called me into the palace?"
The queen signaled Caijuan to take all the palace people out. After they left, the queen explained the purpose of this trip.
"Ninth sister, do you know some medical skills?"
Or maybe it was some other ability. She had long suspected that the empress dowager would not do this for no reason, and the maid sent to the fifth princess could not be loyal to her, let alone live such a prosperous life in the governor's mansion.
Rong Xi didn't intend to hide it, but she wouldn't tell him everything either. She just nodded slightly to indicate that she did know some medical skills.
"Ninth sister, I really have no other choice now. This child is so noisy. If this continues, I'm afraid my health will collapse before he grows up."
After she said this, she paused for a moment, thinking that Rong Xi would continue with her question, but she waited for a long time and Rong Xi didn't speak, so she could only continue speaking herself.
"I've searched all the palace doctors, but either they can't help or the prescriptions are too stimulating and will affect the child. Ninth sister, I'd like you to take a look for me."
Rong Xi did not refuse, but she did not care too much. The Queen was quite nice to her, but now that she and Shen Ze'an had the idea of escaping death, she did not want to care about the affairs of the court.
This time, let this be my last act of kindness.
She walked over, and the closer you got, the more you could see her haggard face.
Judging from her pulse, she was indeed very weak, but fortunately she was not poisoned.
In fact, she had no other choice. Even though she had the system, she still vomited violently every time she was pregnant, and it was only slightly better than her.
She talked about the anti-nausea methods commonly used in previous worlds. As to whether they are effective, it depends on her own conditions.
"Ninth sister, am I poisoned?"
"Don't worry, Queen, there isn't any for now."
Of course the Queen knew what Rong Xi meant by "temporarily". Disappointment showed on her face, thinking that she was really stupid at the time. If she had married into an ordinary family, it wouldn't have ended like this.
Last time, the emperor pushed an old maid in the palace to take the blame for the poisoning. The maid just said that the queen had punished her and she just wanted revenge.
But how could the Queen, as the person involved, not see what any discerning person could see?
It's just that the emperor wants to protect the people behind him.
As the Empress of the Central Palace, he only had to follow the clues to investigate these matters one by one, looking for clues, and finally he found that person.
She is not a good person, otherwise, in this palace where people eat meat without spitting out bones, her position as queen would have been taken away long ago.
She never thought of letting go of those who wanted to harm her.
"Since the Empress has already made up her mind, there's no need for me to give her any more instructions. I've been feeling uneasy lately, so I plan to go to Lingbao Temple to worship Buddha."
"What! You're going to be gone for a while?!"
"Yes, but don't worry, Your Majesty, the Governor is still in the capital. If Your Majesty needs any help, you can go to the Governor."
The Queen felt a little comforted. She was in an unstable situation right now. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she suddenly lost the support of the Governor's Mansion.
"Okay, then when will you be back?"
"That may happen soon."
Maybe I will never come back.
"Well, you must always be careful when you go out. Ninth sister said, don't think I'm annoying, the two people the fifth princess gave you are not trustworthy. If you want to go out, you should not take them with you."
"Well, thank you, Queen."
As soon as the two finished talking, Caijuan came in from outside and whispered something in the queen's ear.
"Please come in."
Rong Xi didn't hear who they were talking about, but as the footsteps got closer, Rong Xi could see who was coming.
Her fair skin, delicate face, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, and a hint of coldness in her eyes make her a standard ancient and cool beauty.
"I greet Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health."
"Stand up, how did Lady Xia find time to come here?"
"I heard that the Empress has been suffering from severe morning sickness lately and can't eat anything. I remembered the pickled radish from my hometown. It's sour and delicious. I thought the Empress would like it, so I made some myself and brought it over."
The maid behind her was indeed holding a food box.
The Queen immediately looked at Rong Xi for help. She didn't want to eat what this person brought, as there might be something else in it.
Concubine Xia also followed the Queen's gaze and looked at Rong Xi beside her. This was the first time she had seen the Ninth Princess. She had heard about her a long time ago. The reason why the last thing failed was also because of this Ninth Princess.
But she still had a smile on her face, and that smile was like a peach blossom blooming in spring, but it did not give people the slightest sense of warmth.
