Chapter 37 Another Incident
"Yes, I will never do that! Thank you so much, my dear! Thank you so much!" Xiao Yuanzi cried with joy.
"Well, since your last name is Yuan, let's call you Yuanxiao from now on."
"Yes, thank you for the name, your humble servant Yuanxiao kowtows to thank the master." Yuanxiao kowtowed three times and then followed Jimei.
"So you like him. He's a down-to-earth person." Zi Rui said.
"Originally I wouldn't have revealed this thought. After all, we've been watching for more than a year, so it can't be too bad." Shen Chuliu stood up: "You don't need to be very capable, loyalty is the key."
"That's right, Talented Master." Zizhu said with a smile, "Although I haven't found anything wrong with Zhou Hai yet, I always feel that he pries too much into my words."
Although he certainly couldn't find out.
"When living in the palace, it is better to be careful. No matter whether there is really a problem or not, just don't use him." Shen Chuliu said.
"Talented people have extraordinary intelligence."
"It's not that I'm smart, it's just that I don't want to waste my time and energy on a servant whose background I don't know." With that kind of spirit, she can almost compete with other concubines in the harem.
"Yes, what the talented person said is absolutely right. Yuanxiao is honest and knows how to be grateful." Zizhu helped Shen Chuliu take off a few hairpins and rings, and then changed into casual clothes.
Shen Chuliu slowly washed her face with the water in the copper basin filled with flower petals.
She always liked to do this herself, unlike other people who asked servants to serve her.
The water is cool well water. After being left for a while, it is not so cold, but still quite chilly.
The petals were roses, but much smaller than the roses she remembered.
But the flavor is very rich.
After washing my face, I wiped off the water drops on my face with a clean towel.
Zi Rui had already brought the facial balm.
Shen Chuliu picked it up with her fingers and smeared it on her face.
Gently rub it around the eyes for a while. Although this balm looks thick, it is actually made of excellent materials.
Concubines who have fallen out of favor don't have such things.
Although they are all given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are also divided into different levels.
Shen Chuliu is considered the second echelon in the palace, so naturally he uses good things.
"Talented lady." Chi Su came back from outside: "I just heard that Concubine Yi sent something to An Baolin again today."
"With a golden nugget in your belly, you are naturally favored." Shen Chuliu smiled: "Is it because Kang Chongyi didn't give it to you?"
"Replying to the talented lady, Concubine Song didn't send it either." Chi Su said.
Shen Chuliu hummed: "Song Zhaoyi did nothing and became Zhaoyi, why are you so anxious?"
"Talented lady, do you think that An Baolin's child...will be given to Concubine Yi?" Zi Rui asked.
"I don't know about that, but if I were Concubine Yi, I wouldn't want this child. What's the point of raising a child that's not my own? Children in the palace have to be smart at a young age."
What's more, this is a battlefield, and there are still three-foot waves even without wind.
When the time comes and you raise someone else's child, it may look good on the surface, but many people may use this matter to plot against you behind your back.
You have raised the child with all your heart, and by then the child will be of the same mind as you, so why bother? Isn't it better to just keep yourself out of trouble? "But having a child is different, just like Concubine Jin. If it weren't for the eldest princess, she wouldn't even have nine concubines." Zi Rui disagreed.
"What you said makes sense, but I don't want your talent to be mine." Shen Chuliu shook his head, looking stubborn.
"A talented person naturally won't raise other people's children. After a few years, it will be proper for you to raise your own children." Zizhu said with a smile.
She already knew what the sachet used by her talent was.
"In the eyes of the emperor, those who pretend not to fight are hypocritical. Those who really don't fight are incompetent. It's really hard to say what the fate of these two children will be." Shen Chuliu laughed: "Let's just watch the show, nothing else matters."
Zizhu said this again and understood it in his heart.
Indeed, unless you fight well and please the emperor.
Otherwise, if you don't fight, how can you protect the royal heir?
How can someone who fights ugly get the title of heir to the throne?
Talented people see things very clearly.
In the afternoon, news came that Li Xiaoyi went to Taiji Palace to ask to see the emperor.
Qi Yixiu asked her to come in.
Naturally, it was Li Xiaoyi who slept with him.
This made the women in the harem grit their teeth.
Those who knew about it said that Li Xiaoyi went to complain because Concubine Jin slapped her in the morning, but most people thought that she was just using this excuse to win favor.
No matter what, she was successful as long as she was able to stay in Taiji Palace.
I don’t know how many people slept poorly that night.
Shen Chuliu was sleeping well, but was woken up by Zirui in the middle of the night: "Wake up, young man."
"What's wrong?" Shen Chuliu sat up.
Zizhu, who was dressed, came in to serve: "Sister Zirui, go change your clothes quickly."
"I am serving the talented lady. Something happened to An Baolin, and half of the palace was alarmed. I am afraid that the emperor will come as well."
"Something happened? Miscarriage?" Shen Chuliu understood.
"I'm afraid so. The imperial physician has rushed over. You should go and have a look too."
Shen Chuliu sighed: "With such a big commotion, I guess the child couldn't be saved. During the day they were talking about who the child would belong to, and in the evening, the child was gone." Shen Chuliu sighed.
"I'm just afraid that someone might be bold enough to put the blame on others?" Zizhu didn't dare to make it too clear.
"Several children have died in the palace. If someone wants to put the blame on someone, they have to find someone powerful. I'm just a talented person, and I can't do it. Even if the emperor doesn't care, he won't let anyone fool him. It won't be that serious," Shen Chuliu comforted.
Zizhu nodded in agreement.
After getting dressed, she didn't even have time to do her makeup.
Yao Baolin was waiting outside, and when he saw her he said, "Wear more clothes, it's getting cold at night."
"It's okay, let's go." Shen Chuliu said.
"I don't know what's going on, but he's really brave." Yao Baolin said.
"Let's go and take a look first."
An Baolin was still sleeping in Fenghua Pavilion. It was not far from Taiji Palace, so the emperor had arrived there a long time ago.
Li Xiaoyi followed.
Even the queen was alarmed.
"Your Majesty, as the Empress said, it was... caused by An Baolin's use of abortion drugs." The imperial physician said carefully.
"Abortion pills?" The queen frowned, "Where did you get the abortion pills?"
"Your Majesty, why would our Baolin take random medicines... He has always taken medicines to preserve the pregnancy." The girl was terrified.
No one doubted this.
Shen Chuliu and Yao Baolin also met Concubine Yi and Kang Chongyi on the way, so they came together.
As soon as she came in, she heard the imperial physician say, "It is this tonic that is mixed with abortion drugs..."
That tonic was sent by Concubine Yi during the day.
An Baolin's maid shuddered: "This... this was sent by Concubine Yi during the day..."
Just when Concubine Yi came in, it was a scene that attracted everyone's attention.
Even Shen Chuliu, who was following behind, felt very nervous. Concubine Yi in front of him turned pale in an instant: "Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
