Chapter 285 Is Your Highness Blind? He Actually Did It for the sake of His Offspring
Concubine Xu was walking listlessly, swinging her handkerchief. Hearing this, she suddenly perked up, "Is it disfigured?"
Caixia shook her head. "I heard from Doctor Yu that I need to avoid certain foods and recuperate for a few days before I can get better."
"She got it lucky." Concubine Xu was a little disappointed, but she felt happy when she thought about how scared she must be because of the rash on her face.
Caixia continued, "Yesterday, Concubine Xue wanted Your Highness to have dinner with her, but because she had a rash on her face, she didn't dare to see Your Highness."
"Why did Your Highness agree to have dinner at her place? Can't you see that she has ulterior motives?" Concubine Xu was indignant.
Caixia was a little confused, "The young lady no longer likes His Highness, so where is His Highness going? Why is the young lady still angry?"
Concubine Xu raised her chin and said, "You don't understand. This is called standing up for the weak."
Caixia nodded, not quite understanding, "My lady, calm down. His Highness didn't go."
Concubine Xu supported Jin Buyao and said, "This is better."
Shen Chuwei had just finished breakfast and was lying on the bed resting.
When Concubine Xu came in, she saw Shen Chuwei lying on the bed like a salted fish.
Shen Chuwei saw Concubine Xu coming. They were already so familiar with each other that they didn't need to greet each other. But when she saw the big dark circles under Concubine Xu's eyes, she was stunned.
"Concubine Xu, what did you do last night?"
Concubine Xu opened her mouth, wanting to let it all out, but when she thought of the threat from the man in black, she swallowed the words back into her stomach.
She is a person who has to say whatever she wants to say. It is torture to keep it to herself.
"I didn't sleep well last night." Concubine Xu was vague. Seeing Shen Chuwei lying on the bed, she asked worriedly, "Why are you still lying on the bed? Are you sick?"
Shen Chuwei laughed and said, "I have nothing to do, so I plan to take a nap."
"Why are you sleeping in broad daylight?" Concubine Xu yawned after saying this. Thinking of Concubine Xue, she became interested again.
"Shen Liang Di, Concubine Xue has a rash on her face. I am dying of laughter. This is the result of being shameless."
Shen Chuwei lay on the bed, drowsy.
Concubine Xu looked down and saw Shen Chuwei's eyes were almost closed. She yawned and asked, "You didn't sleep well last night?"
Shen Chu nodded slightly, "Can you sleep well if you go to bed in the second half of the night?"
Concubine Xu felt the same pain and said, "I also slept in the second half of the night."
She was afraid when she thought about the appointment time two days later.
When will these terrifying days end?
Dream Palace
After finishing her breakfast, Xueyan sat in front of the bronze mirror and gently applied the ointment prescribed by Doctor Wen Yu on her cheeks, hoping that the red spots and red areas would disappear quickly.
Thinking about how Xiao Jinyan wanted to stay overnight last night and was the perfect time to serve me, but was delayed because of his face, I still feel very sorry.
"Shui Yao, did His Highness review memorials again last night?"
Shui Yao said, "Princess, His Highness finished reviewing the memorials very early last night."
Xueyan looked at herself in the mirror. When she first saw this face, she couldn't accept it at all. After looking at it for a few more times, she reluctantly accepted herself now.
Doctor Yu also said it would get better.
"Didn't he go to bed early last night? Did he rest in his own bedroom?"
Shui Yao said hesitantly, "Your Highness rested in the Hehuan Palace last night."
Xueyan paused in her smearing motion when she heard that. She turned her head and looked at Shuiyao, "What did you say? Where did His Highness stay?"
Shui Yao repeated in a low voice: "Hehuan Palace, where Shen Liangdi is."
"Your Highness is going to the Hehuan Palace?" Xue Yanqi waved her hands and swept all the rouge and powder on the table to the ground.
Shui Yao was startled and hurriedly comforted her, "Princess, don't be angry. If you hadn't been sick yesterday and unable to receive His Highness, how could it have been Shen Liangdi's turn to sleep with you?"
Xueyan was shivering all over, and looking at the face in the bronze mirror, he became even more angry.
If it weren't for this face, she would have slept with him last night and she might have conceived a son.
As a result, Shen Liangdi got the advantage.
"I am the princess of Xueyue Country. Why would Shen Liangdi compete with me?"
"Princess, please calm down. Even though Shen Liangdi got the advantage this time, we still have a chance. When your face recovers, are you afraid that you won't have the chance to sleep with me?" Shui Yao advised gently.
The more Xueyan thought about what happened yesterday, the more unwilling she felt. "She got off too easy."
"It must be that Shen Liangdi learned that the princess was ill, so she blatantly seduced you to go to the Hehuan Palace." Shui Yao said as she picked up the rouge and powder on the ground.
"She is just a concubine who only knows how to seduce His Highness." Xue Yan looked at her face and said impatiently, "Call Doctor Wen Yu over. When will this face be healed?"
"I'll go right away." After packing up her things, Shui Yao trotted out.
After Doctor Wen Yu came, he took the patient's pulse again, and the result was exactly the same as yesterday.
Xueyan touched her face, feeling extremely anxious, "When will it get better?"
"Princess Xue, take good care of yourself. Stay away from the light and wind and you will be fine in a few days." Doctor Wen Yu repeated.
Upon hearing this, Xueyan could only feel anxious.

The sun shines through the branches onto the bluestone road, and the air is filled with heat.
Shen Chuwei was too lazy to go out, so she sat on the couch and looked out the window. She saw Yuangungun squatting there eating carrots. After being trained by Xuetuan for a few days, the fat boy's belly was gone and he had a slim figure.
Xuetuan suddenly jumped down from the wall, and Yuanlunlun was so scared that he ran away. Without his chubby belly, he ran very fast, like an arrow from a bow.
Xuetuan stopped and glanced at Yuangungun who was too frightened. The look in his eyes seemed to say, "Coward!"
At this time, Chunxi came in trotting, "My lady, Nanny Qingying is here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingying walked in and said, "Shen Liangdi, the Queen wants to see you."
Shen Chuwei got down from the couch and followed Qingying to Fengyi Palace.
Chunxi held up an oil-paper umbrella to shield Shen Chuwei from the scorching sun.
When I walked into the Fengyi Palace, I saw the empress lazily lying on the imperial concubine couch, with a little palace maid fanning her gently with a round fan to cool her down.
Shen Chuwei stepped forward to greet him, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, the Empress. May you be blessed with good health and good health."
The queen said calmly, "Get up."
"Thank you, Her Majesty." Shen Chuwei stood up and looked at the Queen. "What is it that the Queen wants me to do?"
"The Crown Prince has no children yet. I mentioned this to the Emperor yesterday. The Crown Prince is the future heir apparent, so having children is extremely important."
The Queen paused here and looked at Shen Chuwei's belly. There was still no movement after so long.
Is the fertility-giving Guanyin of the White Horse Temple no longer effective?
"In the East Palace, the Crown Prince likes you the most, but a year has passed and there has been no movement. I asked you to come here today so that Doctor Yu can check your pulse and see what the cause is. You should get treatment as soon as possible."
Shen Chuwei lowered her eyes when she heard this. She didn't expect that the Queen called her for the child.
She and Xiao Jinyan had only been sleeping together for a short time, how could she get pregnant so quickly?
Unfortunately, only heaven, earth, Shen Chuwei, and Xiao Jinyan know about this.
