Chapter 575: In Danger
She knew her own illness well, and it was probably because of the letter from Chaoguo.
The first thing mentioned in the letter was that the second princess had grown up, and the emperor of Chaoguo wanted to ask her to go to Chaoguo, of course, he was talking about going back.
Because the eldest prince of Chao State has reached the age to get married.
The eldest prince was born to the former queen of Chao State, but of course this queen has passed away.
This eldest prince had the opportunity to become the crown prince, but of course, in reality he was unable to do so after several years.
The crown prince was the prince born to the princess of the royal family who married the emperor of Chaoguo for the second time.
Of course, no one knew this. What the Emperor of Chao meant was that the Second Princess had the blood of both Chao and Dayi dynasties, and was the perfect candidate for the Crown Prince's wife.
What's more, if you marry into your uncle's family, you will naturally be loved and pampered.
Needless to say, the Queen disagreed.
Qi Yixiu's love for his daughter was not fake, so he would not agree unless the queen asked for it.
The second princess herself was even more unwilling. Although it was true that her mother was a princess of the Chao Kingdom, she had never been there.
She grew up in the Dayi Dynasty. She was a noble princess and the consort of the crown prince of the dynasty.
She doesn't want it.
It wouldn't be surprising for her to become the Queen of Chao State in the future.
She would like to find a prince consort, live in the imperial city, and often see her father, mother, and sisters.
The second thing in the letter was that one of the queen’s sisters had passed away.
Another princess of Chao State, she was also the sister whom the Queen loved the most besides her mother in Chao State.
For the queen, he was the last relative she cared about.
But her sister went too.
Now, apart from her status, she has nothing else to worry about.
But after all, it was a relative who passed away. In recent years, communication has been inconvenient, and she couldn't help but feel sad when she heard the news suddenly...
Coupled with the fatigue around the New Year, I fell ill.
The second princess came in from outside and warmed herself up before coming to see her: "Mother, are you feeling better today?"
"It's okay." The queen was helped to sit up.
"Mother, my elder sister has returned to the palace." The second princess helped the queen to sit down.
"Yeah." The queen responded weakly: "What's wrong with her?"
"I didn't say anything, I just came back to see you. Someone was sent to inquire about you, and I turned them away, saying that you were missing." said the second princess.
"Well, that's good." The queen agreed and smiled: "You can go and see him if you think you can."
"Yes, elder sister will not go back today. I will go there early tomorrow morning." said the second princess.
On this side, a mother and a daughter are talking; on that side, a mother and a daughter are talking as well.
After being demoted, He Zhaoyi did not move and still lived in Taiping Palace. The empress did not ask her to move to the side hall, but she herself did not dare to live in the main hall.
Now that the eldest princess has come, mother and daughter haven’t seen each other for half a year.
The eldest princess has been married for more than two years, but still has no children.
She and her husband treated each other with respect, but she just couldn't get pregnant.
She was very anxious, so of course the prince consort said nothing, and didn't dare to say anything.
"How is mother?" the eldest princess asked with concern.
The reason was that He Zhaoyi was also ill during this period. Of course, with the Queen above her, her illness was not a big deal.
"What can I do? All the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau have gone to Fengzao Palace. What can I do here?" He Zhaoyi complained.
"There is no imperial physician coming? Then...then let me go look for father." The eldest princess said as she was about to stand up.
Liusu hurriedly said, "Princess, don't worry. Your Majesty is complaining. How come there is no imperial physician?"
"Master, you are right. If you say that, people will think you are complaining that the Queen didn't ask the imperial physician to see you. Your illness is not serious. It's not good to make such a fuss."
Liusu has followed He Zhaoyi all her life, from the mansion to the palace, and has followed her through all the ups and downs.
Her words carry the most weight.
He Zhaoyi stopped talking.
The eldest princess sighed and could only remain silent.
Her own mother, she just didn't pay attention, really...
"How's things going in the mansion?" He Zhaoyi asked without any embarrassment.
"Everything is fine, mother, don't worry."
"Hey, your stomach is still not moving?" He Zhaoyi was also worried.
"The imperial physician has checked, and the doctor outside has also checked. There's nothing wrong with me, and neither does he. That's all." The eldest princess sighed.
"It's not our destiny, so don't rush it." He Zhaoyi sat up and sighed, "You are a princess, so it doesn't matter if you don't have children in your lifetime. But I still hope that you and your husband will be in love."
The eldest princess agreed, but she sighed in her heart.
She didn't know what love was like, but she and her husband...
I can never find that feeling of love.
"You go first, I have something to say to the princess." He Zhaoyi waved her hand.
Liusu went out.
"But what's wrong with that? I only gave birth to you. If you hide it from me, then I gave birth to you in vain." He Zhaoyi poked the eldest princess.
The eldest princess did not dodge: "What can it be? I can't say, the prince consort treats me very well and respects me. In the princess's mansion, I have the final say. Even the people in their mansion are not impolite to me. He also... in a month, he stays at my place for half of the time. When he rests, there is no maid to serve him."
"When we didn't have children, we didn't talk about it. But he always made me feel that he didn't complain."
"That's good, why are you still feeling bad?" He Zhaoyi was puzzled.
"I can't really put it into words. I just feel that we respect each other enough, and there's no such thing as... I've seen his sister-in-law many times since she married his brother. I've also seen them talking, and it always makes me blush. They're very close, but the prince consort and I..."
The eldest princess sighed: "My husband never calls me by my name, and I am the same."
He Zhaoyi fell silent.
She understood. But she didn't know how to do it.
After she entered the palace, she and the emperor...didn't even treat each other with respect. But that was normal, since she was just a concubine.
She had no chance to marry the man of her dreams, but she also didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to marry him.
"Your father used to like Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi... never mind, let's not talk about it. Now your father favors Concubine Jing, Su Zhaorong, Yan Zhaoyuan, and Mei Xiuyi, so you should learn from them." He Zhaoyi sighed.
The eldest princess thought to herself, how can this be the same? But she didn't say anything, just nodded and changed the subject.
As they were talking, news came from outside that the old lady of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion was not well.
"The Ministry of Rites has been informed, and now he has come to the palace, probably to inform Concubine Jing that she is here." said the maid.
He Zhaoyi nodded: "Let's follow the rules."
In Yufu Palace, Shen Chuliu had an idea after hearing the report from the person who came.
Qu's health has been poor in recent years. She couldn't get up for a while after Shen Yi passed away. Now she has waited for another two or three years, which is not easy.
He is already in his seventies, which is considered a long life in this age.
"Yuanxiao, go to the Shen family and take a look for me. Ask someone to arrange anything you need. The people in the Imperial Medical Bureau are busy with the Empress's health, so they may not be able to take care of everything. Go find two imperial physicians to take a look. If that doesn't work, it won't be a problem to find a doctor outside."
