Chapter 14 Pretending to be sick

What she didn’t know was that the emperor had long known about Jiang Xinyue’s discord with her elder sister.

It was the day when he demoted Jiang Yutong to a concubine, and the day when he heard Jiang Xinyue say that she had fallen in love with him.

What kind of hatred could there be?

She was just jealous of her sister’s favor, and she asked her sister to play the villain again and give her this favor, but was rejected by her sister. She was unwilling to give up, so she wanted to retaliate.

However, because her vicious appearance had been exposed to Emperor Xuanwu and she was banished to the cold palace, she knew that there would be no chance of turning over in this life, so she used her own death to scare Jiang Xinyue.

This kind of person is extremely vicious, and Zhen Ronghua is just innocent.

With such a radical elder sister, I don’t know how she was bullied when she was at home.

Emperor Xuanwu could no longer conceal his sympathy for Jiang Xinyue.

He put his hands behind his back, clenched his fists, and said to Xi Que and Shuang Jiang: "Take good care of your master. I have something else to do, and I will come to see her later. Wang Dequan, you accompany me to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine, and ask the people in the Imperial Hospital to be careful."

Careful what?

Of course, it means to treat Zhen Ronghua carefully and not let her body have any sequelae.

Jiang Zhaoyi couldn't say a few words. She wanted to flatter Jiang Xinyue in front of the emperor, but the emperor refused to listen.

She could only say one sentence: "Take good care of Zhen Ronghua."

Then she chased Emperor Xuanwu out again.

The door of the Xihe Palace bedroom was closed, and Xi Que patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "My Lord, the emperor is gone."

Jiang Xinyue, who was lying on the bed and looked so weak that she seemed to have only half a breath left, opened her eyes. She didn't look sick at all. She sat up and looked at her face with a small bronze mirror in her hand.

Well...

this sick makeup is well done, which should make the emperor love her a little more.

After all, she had just offended Concubine Chu, and then this happened. Anyone would suspect that Concubine Chu was behind this.

"Why would the eldest lady commit suicide?"

Xi Que was still muttering, "She was so ambitious. She used to say that she wanted to be the empress. How could she commit suicide after only two months in the palace?"

If the outsiders in the mansion got the news, who knows what the eldest lady would do!

"Don't think about it if you can't figure it out. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us."

Jiang Xinyue combed her long hair: "The emperor will take care of it."

Even the original body had no feelings for Jiang Yutong, not to mention her fake one.

Yangxin Palace -

Emperor Xuanwu rubbed his brows and said, "Go to Yikun Palace to find the Empress Dowager and ask her to thoroughly investigate Jiang Cainv's suicide. Also... Zhen Ronghua is timid and I'm afraid she can't live in Xihe Palace anymore. Let the Empress choose a better palace for her to live in."

After receiving the emperor's order, Empress Zhu immediately brought a hundred-year-old ginseng to Xihe Palace to visit, accompanied by Concubine Liang and Concubine De.

Jiang Xinyue, who was half-leaning on the bed, was in a bad mood and refused to drink the bitter medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, so Empress Zhu and others came in.

She wanted to get up, but she had no strength and fell down again.

Empress Zhu personally helped her sit down again, her eyes full of distress: "You are ill, don't go through these empty formalities, are you feeling better?"

Jiang Xinyue coughed obediently, tears welling up in her eyes: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am much better

now." She didn't look like she was feeling much better!

"Today I said that you are good in everything except being timid. I was right. It's just a dead person, how can you be scared like this?"

Concubine Liang said bluntly: "You are sick and have fallen into the trap of that bitch. She wants to scare you to death with her own death. You must not do what she wants." Jiang

Xinyue smiled bitterly: "Sister Liangfei is right. I will get better soon."

After Concubine Liang said so, she took the bitter medicine that she had been unwilling to drink just now, frowned and drank it in one breath. At

the end, she did not forget to ask Xijue for a candied fruit.

Concubine De smiled gently: "It's not her fault that she was scared. She is only fifteen years old and still a little child! The way she took the medicine is exactly the same as the second princess."

The second princess is nine years old this year, and Jiang Xinyue is six years older than the second princess.

When Concubine Liang thought of her eldest princess, her expression softened a bit: "Don't be afraid, the emperor has already arranged everything for you. You can move to another palace when you recover."

Empress Zhu nodded: "I have chosen three places for you: Jingren Palace, Hexi Palace, and Shun'an Palace. Jingren Palace and Yikun Palace are close to each other. If there is a similar situation in the future, you can ask me for help quickly. The main seat of Shun'an Palace is Concubine Liang. I think you two can get along well. However, it also depends on your opinion. Hexi Palace was chosen by the emperor for you, and it is closest to Chengqian Palace."

Empress Zhu was testing her.

Jiang Xinyue's face was red, and it looked a little bloody.

She said shyly, "The Empress and Concubine Liang both treat me well. Jingren Palace and Shun'an Palace are both excellent. But...but I still want to be closer to the Emperor. Empress, please don't be angry with me! I will definitely visit you often in the future in Yikun Palace."

"How can I be angry after you've said so many bad things?"

Empress Zhu chuckled, "Okay, I know what you mean. I won't disturb your rest. Get well soon so I can move there."

Jiang Xinyue nodded vigorously.

After seeing off Empress Zhu and her entourage, Xi Que shook her head and said, "My Lord, if you reject the Empress, will she..."

"No."

Jiang Xinyue stroked the hundred-year-old ginseng twice and said, "Put it in the warehouse and store it. Tell the people in the kitchen that I will eat hundred-year-old ginseng soup these days."

"Is the Empress really not angry?"

Concubine Liang followed Empress Zhu and said, "We protect her so much, but she doesn't appreciate it."

Empress Zhu touched the armor on her fingers and said, "If she chooses Jingren Palace or Shun'an Palace, we should really be on guard against her."

Concubine Liang was puzzled and said, "Why did the Empress say that?"

Empress Zhu seemed to be adjusting Concubine Liang's collar, but she whispered in her ear: "If she chooses you and me, it proves that she is good at hiding her true feelings and has great ambitions. Even if there are ten of you, it would be difficult to defeat such a person. But she chose Hexi Palace without thinking, which shows that she is straightforward, has no scheming at all, and is easy to control."

In this palace, which woman would not want to be closer to the emperor?

Zhen Ronghua's choice of Hexi Palace is the right choice for a person without scheming.

It is also very tiring to play tricks with a group of women and a man every day.

After Empress Zhu left, Jiang Xinyue fell asleep.

This also led to Concubine Li Gui and Jiang Zhaoyi being turned away when they came to see her.

The Queen Mother has ordered that no one except the emperor is allowed to disturb Zhen Ronghua's rest and recuperation.
