Chapter 154 Understood
The maid was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she was dragged out by the eunuchs. Ying Cairen now supported Juyun and came out to greet everyone: "Your Majesty, Empress, it was because I was nervous that I made Lady Jing suffer because I didn't understand the matter clearly."
"Yingcai was just anxious for a moment." Shen Chuliu pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She really cried just now, so her eyes were red.
"If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with Lady Jing now." The Queen smiled and said, "Fortunately nothing happened. If someone had been harmed, I would have felt bad."
"Thank you, Her Majesty." Shen Chuliu said again.
I cried, and my voice was muffled.
"Queen, please ask someone to check on Jiyunxuan to make sure nothing happens. It's a blessing that Concubine Ying is fine. It's still early in the month, so don't go to pay your respects for now." Qi Yixiu said.
"Well, it's my duty. It's getting late today, Your Majesty, what do you think?" The Queen stood up, meaning to ask the Emperor whether he wanted to stay or not.
"I'm going to Concubine Yi, you guys go back. Concubine Jing was frightened, so there's no need to pay respects tomorrow. On the fourth day of the New Year, give her my new warm jade and let her play with it." said the emperor.
Shen Chuliu stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qi Yixiu looked at her and said, "Go back and have a good rest. Ask the kitchen to serve you something. Don't cry anymore. Ask Doctor Zhao to take care of her."
Shen Chuliu thanked him again.
Everyone dispersed, and Ying Cairen touched her belly and said, "Not her?"
"Now it seems that it's not her." Juxiang helped her sit down: "Feng Shufei was anxious from the beginning, is it... is it her?"
"Is there something wrong with that girl?" Ying Cairen asked.
"It's probably true. He's so scared before I even said anything. There might be a problem. But he's only been here for a month. Even if there is a problem, it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about it. Are you tired? Take a rest." Juxiang said.
Ying Cairen nodded: "Bring me something to drink, and then rest."
In Changle Palace, everyone was delighted to see the emperor.
Concubine Yi was also surprised that the Emperor was on Concubine Jing's side in public, and even said that she had said the wrong thing.
Now that she has come to Changle Palace, she doesn’t feel it’s real.
I am touched and resentful...
He hasn't been here for a long time.
She came here today to undoubtedly make the decision for her, but she had so much resentment and sadness in her heart that she couldn't be calm towards him for a while.
"Concubine Yi, you have been in the palace for so many years, and in my eyes, you have always been a person who does not meddle in other people's affairs." Qi Yixiu did not notice Concubine Yi's fragile mind.
"Yes. I spoke out of turn today." Concubine Yi lowered her head.
"It's been several years since Concubine Jing entered the palace. Don't you know her temper? Why did you provoke her? She can make trouble even without any wind. Today she has been wronged and angry. Isn't it time for her to explode?" Qi Yixiu said.
Concubine Yi was shocked.
Your Majesty, are you talking about Lady Jing? Your Majesty actually knows Lady Jing so well?
"I can't afford to offend her." said Concubine Yi.
"I know she has a bad temper, but why do you have to provoke her? Just let it go. You must know your limits in the future." Qi Yixiu said.
In Qi Yixiu's heart, seeing Concubine Yi like this, he felt extremely annoyed.
Obviously, before, she was also aloof and would not argue with others.
Now I am becoming more and more impatient.
Today, Shen Chuliu retorted, and he felt that Lady Jing was well-deserved to be favored and did not tarnish his reputation.
At the same time, he felt that it was disheartening to see Shen Chuliu leaving Concubine Yi speechless.
How did Concubine Yi become like this?
"I will be careful in the future and won't provoke her again." Concubine Yi said with her head down.
Qi Yixiu looked at her and shook his head gently: "Forget it, it's getting late, let's rest."
Concubine Yi agreed and asked someone to come in and serve her.
After lying down, each on their side, Qi Yixiu had no other thoughts.
Concubine Yi's tears flowed into the pillow, and she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
She thought of the emperor's words, 'She has a bad temper.' But even though she knew she had a bad temper, she still defended her in public today.
Even though she was unruly at the time, even in front of the emperor, the emperor...
Until now, as she lay beside him, what he wanted to say was still to protect his new favorite.
Concubine Yi was disheartened and felt that the past few years had been wasted.
The emperor thinks she is not doing well now, but she...
But she wasn't always like this.
She touched her belly and felt empty.
Concubine Jing cried and complained that she could not have children, so the emperor coaxed her and asked the imperial physician to take her pulse and tell her that she could have children.
And what about her? After the miscarriage, he never said a word about whether she could have children again in the future...
Although, Yifei knew in her heart that it was impossible for her to give birth to a child in this lifetime, but sometimes, a word was still needed.
Qi Yixiu had no idea what the person beside him was thinking, and he fell asleep quickly. After all, he had to attend court in the morning.
Concubine Yi cried until the second half of the night and fell asleep just when Qi Yixiu was about to get up.
Shen Chuliu just threw the pot away and went to sleep without any burden.
Anyway, if you murder a prince or princess, the consequences will be death unless the emperor doesn't care. So murdering one person means death, and murdering two means death as well.
So she slept all night without any stress.
When I woke up early, I heard that the girl couldn't bear the punishment last night and died.
Shen Chuliu sneered: "Did she die? Are all the staff of the Internal Criminal Department useless? Can't they hold a little girl back?"
"This is a matter of them loosening their grip. I'm afraid the people behind them are also putting some thought into it." Zhemei said.
"It has nothing to do with us. I can't bribe the Internal Criminal Department anyway. I'm curious, who is it this time?" Shen Chuliu said.
"Please take your time to think about it. I'll serve the meal first. Are you hungry?" Zi Rui asked.
"I walked a lot yesterday and I'm really hungry. If I don't go to pay my respects today, I'll get up late. Let's eat first, otherwise I can't think of anything." Shen Chuliu smiled.
The breakfast was sumptuous and just as we finished it, Doctor Zhao arrived.
Shen Chuliu hurriedly received him.
Doctor Zhao took her pulse and said, "Miss Jing, don't worry. This thing is not that powerful. If it really causes infertility or miscarriage, it must be used or taken in large quantities. With this dosage, it's just not easy to get pregnant. It's okay. You don't need to take the medicine. Just stay away from that thing and it will be automatically excreted in ten days."
"That's good. Zizhu, go get the white jade necklace that I kept and bring some gold ingots. Doctor Zhao's daughter is getting married and I have to congratulate her." Shen Chuliu said.
Doctor Zhao shuddered, "Oh, I dare not. I cannot bear it."
"What are you talking about? It's not for you. Imperial Doctor Zhao, just keep it. Although imperial doctors are good, they are also low-paying jobs. Is it okay for my daughter to get married without a decent dowry? Don't worry, I'm just a beauty. I just want Imperial Doctor Zhao to be more attentive when he examines my body. I can't take care of other things."
This statement is also made clear.
To all the winners, the prizes have been sent out, please check them carefully. If you didn't win, don't worry, there will be another chance next time.
