After returning to Huafeng Palace.
The palace maid immediately brought out a slice of watermelon that had just been chilled and cut into chunks.
Just as Xu Qingzhi was about to eat, she suddenly remembered what the little princess had said.
"Take the watermelon away and make me some rock sugar chrysanthemum tea."
"yes."
The palace maid immediately went to prepare.
At the same time, I was puzzled.
"The Imperial Concubine usually loves to eat chilled watermelon on hot days, why does she have no appetite today?"
"That's not something we should be asking. Let's go make some tea."
Although rock sugar chrysanthemum tea is not as refreshing as chilled watermelon.
However, after drinking the tea, Xu Qingzhi broke out in a sweat and felt much more comfortable.
"This little girl is quite capable."
When Xu Qingzhi recalled the childish voice calling her "Aunt Xu," the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
She actually looked forward to the day when this little princess would stand in front of her and say in her childish voice, "Aunt Xu, hug me."
Sigh, who can resist a cute little dumpling with a sweet, innocent voice?
"Caiyue, pack your things. Starting today, you will go to Chuxiu Palace to serve Consort Jin well."
"yes."
"Mingxia, go and fetch the tonics His Majesty gave me."
"yes."
Xu Qingzhi picked out the ginseng and other ginseng.
Pregnant women should not eat such highly nutritious foods.
Xu Qingzhi selected some bird's nest, honey, and fish maw that pregnant women can eat.
Suddenly, Xu Qingzhi remembered that at the banquet, Consort Jin kept eating grapes.
So they prepared some more grapes.
"My lady, are these things for me to take with me when I go to Chuxiu Palace?"
Originally, these tasks were indeed done by servants.
But Xu Qingzhi kept thinking about hearing that sweet, childlike voice again.
Then he said.
"I will go there myself."
The people in Huafeng Palace felt that Consort Xu was very different today than usual.
She never befriended any of the concubines in the harem, let alone gave them gifts.
Now, he actually wants to personally deliver the tonics to Consort Jin!
If Consort Jin comes from a good family and can benefit from her, then such a group is quite common.
But Consort Jin had nothing, and was pregnant with a little princess.
What benefits could Consort Xu gain from her?
On the contrary, Consort Jin is able to get protection from Consort Xu!
But Consort Xu was willing to go herself.
In the Chuxiu Palace.
The moment I heard Consort Xu's voice.
Ye Qianqian, who was bored and playing with the umbilical cord, immediately called out to people in a childish voice!
[Greetings to Aunt Xu!]
Xu Qingzhi couldn't help but smile again.
"I sent you some grapes."
These words were spoken to Ye Qianqian.
But Consort Jin heard it as being spoken to her.
"Thank you for your concern, Consort Xie."
Wow! Aunt Xu sent over my favorite grapes?! I love them so much! Mwah!
Xu Qingzhi looked at Consort Jin's belly.
"Eat more, and there's honey and fish maw too. If you like them, I'll send you more in the future."
Aunt Xu is so generous! She's kind to people, and she's open about her criticisms—if she likes you, she likes you; if she dislikes you, she dislikes you! I absolutely adore her genuine personality!
You're such a genuine girl!
"From today onwards, Caiyue will stay in Chuxiu Palace to serve you. If you need anything, please let me know immediately."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After exiting the gate of Chuxiu Palace.
Consort Xu suddenly noticed that the Third Prince was standing in the blazing sun not far away.
Consort Xu frowned and immediately went over.
Consort Jin followed.
"Ye Chen, why are you here?"
Consort Xu took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face.
Ye Chen's clothes were completely soaked with sweat!
It's obvious at a glance that they've been standing here for at least half an hour.
And now is the hottest time of day.
Let alone a 10-year-old child, even an adult would find it unbearable to stand motionless under the scorching sun like that!
Although Ye Chen has a leg disability, he is still a prince.
The Emperor and Empress Dowager also felt sorry for this disabled child.
In this palace, besides the Empress, who else would dare to punish him like this!
Consort Jin immediately said, "Let's take Ye Chen to Chuxiu Palace to rest first."
Xu Qingzhi nodded.
He had a guard carry Ye Chen to Chuxiu Palace.
Qiuyue quickly brought over rock sugar chrysanthemum tea.
Consort Jin felt very sorry for Ye Chen as he gulped down his tea.
Although Xu Qingzhi didn't say anything, her expression had become much colder.
After changing Ye Chen into clean clothes.
Xu Qingzhi sat down next to him and asked him.
"Ye Chen, who punished you?"
Ye Chen immediately lowered his head, gripping his clothes tightly with both hands, not daring to say a word.
"Is she the Empress?" Xu Qingzhi asked directly.
Ye Chen's silence gave him the answer.
Xu Qingzhi glanced at Mingxia.
Mingxia understood and immediately went out.
Ye Qianqian heard the commotion outside, but remained silent.
She clearly remembered that Ye Chen later met a pharmacist who cured his leg ailment.
However, she turned to the dark side because she was bullied in the palace during her childhood.
He personally killed the Empress, and Xu Qingzhi witnessed this scene.
In order to eliminate any future threats, Xu Qingzhi was also killed by Ye Chen!
Xu Qingzhi's death was truly unjust.
She was passionate and straightforward, occasionally willful and capricious, but she never harmed an innocent person, yet she was killed by a villain.
Oh, my poor Aunt Xu!
