Chapter 528 Panic
Although there are only a few left, it is easier for her to control them.
After all, she couldn't actually command those more than a hundred people. She was just a concubine and didn't have the experience and ability that Empress Dowager Feng had in the palace for her entire life.
Besides, with so many people, so many things to do, and so many things to say, it is inevitable that mistakes will be made.
Now is the best.
The emperor did not come to Yufu Palace, but he still sent a lot of good things.
Shen Chuliu was already well, but it was raining and he really didn't want to move at this time.
"My master has a sore throat today. These pears are delicious. How about I ask someone to steam two for you?" Zengchun said.
"Yeah, okay." Shen Chuliu's throat did feel a little uncomfortable.
Zengchun took the pears and left.
In addition to pears, the emperor also asked people to send oranges, which are the fruits of winter, and a few cantaloupes.
There is no shortage of fruits here all year round.
When Lady Yao arrived, Shen Chuliu had already eaten the steamed pear.
"Sit down." Shen Chuliu waved: "You don't like this, do you? Have some tea."
Shen Chuliu remembered that Lady Yao didn't like eating pears.
"Your Highness, please eat this. It moisturizes the lungs and is good for winter." Lady Yao smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you feeling better?"
"Okay, I'll go and pay my respects tomorrow. How have you been these days?" Shen Chuliu asked while eating.
"That's it. Concubine Mei is not coming out, and the others are fine too. The emperor rarely comes to the harem these days, so there's nothing to make a fuss about. The harem is going to let a lot of people out again." Lady Yao shook her head: "It's rare to be so quiet."
"It's just temporary. The harem is never really quiet." Shen Chuliu said indifferently.
"Your Majesty is right. After all the commotion, Concubine Mei has won first place. Now she is pregnant with the baby."
Concubine Mei is five months pregnant.
"She is lucky." It is rare to witness such a scene.
"That's right." Lady Yao smiled and said, "From what I've seen, apart from the disagreement between Li Zhaoyi and Zhou Baolin, everyone else seems to be doing well."
They really did a good job, and they all looked like sisters.
"Recently, Yan Xiurong has been very low-key?" Shen Chuliu suddenly asked.
"This... the emperor has indeed not been there for some time, but there are rewards." Lady Yao thought for a moment and said, "However, Ning Zhaorong did not see the emperor either."
"Yeah." Shen Chuliu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Lady Yao just came to take a look and talk about what happened in the past few days, and then left.
The rain didn't stop. Shen Chuliu finished eating the pear, washed her hands, and then stood in front of the window looking outside.
The rain was hitting the eaves, and Shen Chuliu felt itchy and wanted to go out.
Several people didn't try to stop her. She stood under the eaves in her cloak, reaching out her hands to catch the rain.
Chi Su refused to give in, and while they were arguing, the Sixth Prince came back.
Chi Su said anxiously, "Your Highness, please persuade the master. He has just recovered. How can he play in the rain? It's winter now!"
Shen Chuliu's face turned red all of a sudden: "Chi Su!"
It's too shameful to tell on your own son!
"Mother!" The Sixth Prince frowned: "What did you tell your son?" The Sixth Prince really didn't know what to say.
"Ahem, that's not the case." Shen Chuliu was embarrassed.
"Why are you here at this moment?"
"Mother, you really... why don't you go back to the house?" The Sixth Prince didn't care about anything else and pulled her in.
In his eyes, his mother didn't dress up well today. She wore casual clothes, her hair was casually tied up, and she didn't look energetic at all.
You're still playing with rain water like this, my tenth brother doesn't play this anymore, okay?
"Just listen to Chi Su's nonsense." Shen Chuliu defended himself quite embarrassedly.
The Sixth Prince looked at her: "Yes."
That means whatever you say is what it is.
"How are you today?" The Sixth Prince changed the subject.
"I'm fine." Shen Chuliu also tacitly stopped talking.
"That's good. Ruiqing Palace has sent away many people again, but the people around my son have not been moved. The people around my ninth brother have all been replaced." The Sixth Prince shook his head: "Some people have spent money to come to Yulou, but they don't want to go to my ninth brother."
Shen Chuliu smiled: "It's useless to look for the jade leak."
"It's not just about finding the Jade Leak. We have tried every possible way, and some have succeeded." The Sixth Prince suddenly smiled evilly: "In theory, this is a good place for Ninth Brother. The Empress Dowager is still there."
"Then why do you think so?" Shen Chuliu also smiled.
"It's hard for me to guess, but you are really the best mother. I won't have to worry about anything if you leave it to me." The Sixth Prince was probably teasing her.
The mother and daughter started chatting and laughing, and the incident of playing in the rain was forgotten.
However, after lunch, the Sixth Prince pulled Chi Su aside before leaving and said, "Watch her carefully. Mother must be bored. You guys should tease her more."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. We will do our best." Chi Su thought to herself, the master has always been a rational person, but sometimes he can be childish.
"Everything will be fine once she gets better. It's really worrying." The Sixth Prince sighed and left.
After she left, Zhemei also came out: "What's wrong? Is Your Highness worried?"
"You said... Your Highness is not that old, it's like he has grown up." Chi Su sighed.
"Don't all the children in the palace grow up fast? Our prince is considered slow." Zhemei smiled and said, "Our master is the only child, and the mother and daughter are very close. This is good."
"Yeah, well, I'll go to the kitchen to check out the Tremella soup." Chi Su said.
There is a small kitchen in Yufu Palace, but it is not used for cooking. It is usually used to stew tonic foods or make soups.
In the harem, Shen Chuliu was not the only one who was touched by her son.
In Fuyang Palace, Concubine Qian Shu has not been doing well since the palace search.
It's not that I'm sick, I just don't like it.
When the second prince found out, he naturally came to persuade him.
But this time, perhaps the blow was too great, and Concubine Qian Shu didn't react at all.
"Mother, it's almost November. How can you keep being like this?" The Second Prince sighed.
"Mother is fine, you just need to be fine." Concubine Qian Shu forced a smile.
"Mother, you can't keep your worries to yourself. How can your son feel at ease if you are like this?"
"It's nothing, mother is just... that's all, it will be fine in a few days. Mother knows what you said before, and the list has been sent to the queen." Concubine Qian Shu cheered up: "In the past few years, mother has neglected it, but the people around mother are still honest."
"I've served you for too long. Send him away. This matter... from what I know, many of the people found out are my grandmother's people. You... should avoid suspicion to avoid trouble in the future."
Although the palace did not say it explicitly, there were always rules in secret that could not be confused, so everyone gradually realized that the people who were being disciplined this time were those left behind by Empress Dowager Feng.
Otherwise, why did they harm Empress Dowager Li, Concubine Jing, and the Ninth Prince for no reason? In addition to the torture and exile, nearly two hundred people were killed. If there is no clear purpose, wouldn't it be a panic? (End of this chapter)
