Chapter 338 I Just Heard That There Was Such a Person as Sister
Lady Lin was quick to cover Lady Yan's mouth and whispered, "Be careful what you say!"
There is no one in the harem they can trust. If this word gets out, they will be in big trouble.
She glared at the maid fiercely, "If you dare to tell anyone what I said today, I will never forgive you!"
“Yes…” The maid was so frightened that she trembled and ran away quickly.
After everyone left, Lin Mei finally let go of her hand, her brows furrowed, "It seems that this Concubine Zhao is really a difficult character to deal with. When her own health failed, she started to recommend other women to the emperor."
Beauty Yan seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, "Sister, how about we use that thing?"
Lady Lin rejected it immediately, "No, it's too early to use it now. Don't forget what your father said. If someone finds out..."
"Sister, let's use less for now, as long as we can get pregnant. Once we are pregnant, we won't need to use it anymore, and no one will notice!"
Lady Lin knew Lady Yan's personality very well. She knew that even if she didn't agree, she would probably use it secretly. So she had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's try it first, but we've agreed that you can't use it too much!"
On the second day, the warm sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight shone into every corner of the palace.
After noon, Duan Chunrou made sure that the emperor was not in Tishun Hall before rushing there.
Bai Wutong saw her coming, smiling, and quickly walked over to hold her hand, "How was last night? Did you use the method on the fire avoidance map?"
Duan Chunrou's cheeks were flushed, like the sunset glow in the sky, "Sister, I used it."
"It's good to use it. Did the emperor say anything?"
"The emperor...seems quite satisfied, and even said he would come again tonight." Duan Chunrou said, unconsciously pursing her lips.
Bai Wutong had sharp eyes and immediately noticed her slightly swollen lips.
This girl really tried her best to win the emperor's heart.
"Okay, that's good. Don't be embarrassed, just do whatever you can to please the emperor, he will buy it. When you see the emperor during the day, act shy and timid, this will arouse his interest even more."
The two chatted lively for a while before Duan Chunrou stood up and said goodbye.
As soon as she left, Bai Wutong immediately ordered Yingchun, "Hurry up and follow her. Those two Turkic princesses might cause trouble for her."
They were afraid of me and didn't dare to cause trouble directly, but they had no worries about dealing with Duan Chunrou.
Even if he didn't deliberately cause trouble, he would definitely want to see with his own eyes what the woman who kidnapped the emperor last night looked like.
Duan Chunrou followed the winding palace path and came to a small garden full of flowers.
Just as she was about to turn, two figures suddenly appeared in front of her.
Duan Chunrou had attended a palace banquet before, so she naturally recognized these two people.
"Sister Duanpin." Lady Lin had a smile on her face and was the first to salute.
Although Lady Yan was not convinced, she reluctantly bowed at the signal from Lady Lin.
Although it is said that one should not hit someone who smiles at them, these two people had offended Bai Wutong before.
Duan Chunrou would not give them a good face, and replied bluntly, "I just went to bed with you yesterday, and you came to my house today. Why didn't I see you come to greet me before?"
When Lady Yan heard this, she was immediately furious and was about to retort, but Lady Lin was quick to pull her back, smiling, "Sister, we did something wrong. I only heard yesterday that there was someone like you in the palace, so I hurried over to say hello today."
As soon as these words came out, Duan Chunrou became even angrier.
Even if I am not favored, it shouldn't be that such a person is nowhere to be found in this huge harem, right?
She was so angry that her pretty face turned red, and she turned around and walked away.
Lady Yan looked at Duan Chunrou's departing back and snorted disdainfully, "She's just so-so in appearance. I really don't understand why the emperor fell in love with her."
Lady Lin glared at her fiercely and scolded her in a low voice, "From now on, you will do whatever I tell you to do! Don't act recklessly anymore. This is not our Turkic Empire. You won't be so willful!"
After saying that, Lady Lin quickly chased after Duan Chunrou, "Sister Duanpin, wait a minute!"
The two shouted all the way and soon caught up with them.
Duan Chunrou stopped helplessly, "What do you want to do now?"
"Sister Duanpin, I know I came to greet you late, and I feel really bad about it, so I specially prepared a small gift, I hope you like it."
As Lady Lin spoke, she took out an exquisite hairpin and said, "The night-shining pearl on this hairpin comes from the Turks. Although it is not as good as those presented to the emperor as tribute, it is also extremely rare in terms of size and appearance. In the Turks, only princesses are qualified to wear it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stuffed the hairpin into Duan Chunrou's hand, "Sister, you must accept it."
Before Duan Chunrou could react, Lin Meiren and the other woman left in a hurry, not giving her any chance to refuse.
Duan Chunrou was holding the hairpin, in a dilemma.
Just throw it away, for I’m afraid these two sisters will take the opportunity to frame me.
I'd better keep it, but I feel really uncomfortable.
After much thought, she decided to take it back to the palace first and find a place to keep it in the bottom of a box.
After returning to the bedroom, Duan Chunrou immediately ordered the palace maid to keep the hairpin properly.
Night falls.
Duan Chunrou suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She covered her stomach and hurried to the purification room.
Not long after, she came out, and as soon as she lay back on the bed, she felt another wave of discomfort.
At this moment, the eunuch's announcement came, "Empress Duan, the emperor summons you to sleep with him tonight!"
Duan Chunrou was in unbearable pain in her abdomen at the moment, and her face was pale. After hesitating for a moment, she could only refuse, "Please tell the emperor that I am not feeling well today and cannot sleep with him. Please help send a female doctor over."
The eunuch responded and turned to leave.
Duan Chunrou was angry and anxious, she raised her hand and smashed the teacup on the table.
Last night she tried her best to please the emperor and thought she would gain his favor, but she didn't expect this to happen today!
Something is wrong, how could it be such a coincidence?
Duan Chunrou endured the abdominal pain and began to recall the details of today.
My diet today was no different from usual, so why did I suddenly have diarrhea?
Since Bai Wutong has recommended her, it is impossible for him to harm her!
The hairpin suddenly flashed through her mind, and she was startled, "Quick, bring me the hairpin from today!"
Not long after, the doctor arrived.
Duan Chunrou handed her the hairpin and asked anxiously, "Take a look at this hairpin to see if there is anything wrong with it?"
The female doctor took it, examined it carefully, and shook her head, "Madam, there is nothing unusual about this hairpin."
So what is going on?
The female doctor then felt Duan Chunrou's pulse and diagnosed her, "Madam, you have a cold that has entered your body and caused diarrhea. You will be fine after taking two doses of medicine. But you can't eat cold food in the next few days. You should focus on warm and nourishing food."
