Chapter 207 Intentional
Chen Qing said firmly, "I'm going to sleep. The emperor is very busy, so why don't you go and review the memorials?"
Xuanyuan Ling also knew that his staying would not help her condition, he just wanted to accompany her but saw that she was so sensible.
Really, Shen Qing is usually a little spoiled, but now he is so sensible.
It is said that a small thing can reveal a big thing. Shen Qing is never vague about things that are good for him, and she only makes a fuss in private, so what does it matter even if she makes a fuss?
Therefore, Xuanyuan Ling's bottom line for Chen Qing's making trouble really got lower and lower as they got along with each other.
Xuanyuan Ling went outside and said to Zhao Hai: "Go and tell the imperial physician to be more careful, and then tell the imperial kitchen to pay more attention to the meals in Zhaohua Palace in the future. She is sick and her stomach must not be very good these days."
She doesn't eat as much in the summer as in the winter, so she won't starve to death again.
Zhao Hai didn't know how many times he had heard Xuanyuan Ling's instructions to take care of Zhaohua Palace. He was used to it. Well, this matter could not be handed over to others. He had to go there in person.
So Shang Dexi welcomed Zhao Hai. Shang Dexi was also looking at the harem now. Seeing Zhao Hai coming specially, he asked: "Do you have any instructions?"
"The Emperor has decreed that the meals prepared in the imperial kitchen of Zhaohua Palace should be prepared with more care."
Shang Dexi was a little panicked: "We have been taking care of Zhaohua Palace, we dare not neglect it at all."
Ever since Shen Qing was beaten by Concubine Yu, the Imperial Kitchen has been taking care of Shen Qing. Of course, this is also because Shen Qing is a good person and Shang Dexi has received many benefits from her in the past.
After all, as for pampering, everyone in the palace felt that even if it lasted forever, it wouldn't last long with a new person entering the palace. But just because of Concubine Xi's attitude towards them, they had to stick to Zhaohua Palace.
Shang Dexi was worried because a new person had entered the palace. Could it be that Concubine Xi wanted to make a fuss about the food and draw the emperor's attention?
Zhao Hai was speechless when he saw Shang Dexi's obvious expression. It was indeed a bit lucky that Shang Dexi had been able to stay in the imperial kitchen for so long without being replaced.
"Empress Xi is ill. I have to go to the Imperial Hospital. Anyway, please keep an eye on her. If she is a little thinner, you can judge for yourself."
Shang Dexi finally understood what was going on now. The emperor gave the order because he felt sorry for Concubine Xi's illness.
Well, she entered the palace as a newcomer, so the emperor's favors could at least be divided up. Now, he is still looking at who can get the favor in the harem. But in the end, no one in the harem can surpass Concubine Xi.
Xuanyuan Ling gave instructions to both the imperial physician and the imperial kitchen. If you didn't know, you would have thought that Shen Qing was suffering from a serious illness.
The imperial physician came in and out from time to time, which was indeed eye-catching. The Queen's side thought that Shen Qing was seriously ill, so they called the imperial physician to ask about it. The imperial physician had lied about the condition before, so he was very cautious when facing the Queen's questions.
It is said that Shen Qing is in a serious condition now. He is lying in bed unconscious and no one knows when he will get better.
The queen was surprised when she heard this: "How could he be so sick when he was fine?"
The imperial physician said, "It is said that illness comes like a mountain falling. Concubine Xi had an old injury before, which hurt her internal organs. Now the new illness has triggered the old one. Her illness is indeed quite serious."
When the Queen heard this, she did not doubt it. After all, she had seen how seriously injured Shen Qing was before. He was beaten to the point of vomiting blood. Although he was carefully taken care of later, it was still different.
After all, Chen Qing was on her side and had always been respectful to her. Now she wanted the emperor to remember her well and praise her as much as possible, so the queen asked Jinzhi to pick out some nourishing things for Chen Qing.
Jinzhi's sending of gifts naturally meant that she was visiting on behalf of the Queen, and it was also a coincidence.
At that time, Shen Qing had taken the medicine and was falling into a deep sleep. Jinzhi took a look and asked the imperial physician to report the condition. She had a preconceived idea of Shen Qing's condition. Seeing that Shen Qing was sleeping soundly, she also thought that Shen Qing was sick and unconscious.
Then he went to report to the Queen.
So Shen Qing's illness was confirmed.
Concubine Zhao was also with the Fourth Princess at the moment. When she suddenly heard that Shen Qing was ill, she thought it was not convenient for her to visit her. She was able to keep the Fourth Princess by her side only because of Shen Qing's advice. It would seem strange for two people who were not close in the past to suddenly visit a sick person, right?
Therefore, she did not go, but asked someone to send some supplements she had over as a token of her gratitude.
Now she is actually considered favored.
Because she had prayed for grace for the baby in her belly, Xuanyuan Ling took good care of her afterwards. Not only did he come to see the Fourth Princess from time to time, he also came to see her during her confinement. Now that she had given birth to a child, she was indeed treated much better than before.
It is somewhat ironic to talk about sisterhood in this palace, but just for what Shen Qing said that day, Concubine Zhao was very grateful.
Concubine Chun was on the surface on good terms with Shen Qing, and everyone in the harem knew that Shen Qing and Concubine Chun had dealings with each other.
When Concubine Chun left, Shen Qing was looking at the things sent by Concubine Zhao.
Concubine Zhao did not send it openly, but took a roundabout way and asked the imperial physician to send it over. After all, it would be too conspicuous if she sent it openly.
Now that Chen Qing is ill, if the Queen sends her a gift, it means that she is virtuous and cares for the concubine. If a concubine sends her a gift, it means that she is kind and cares for her sisters. If someone of a lower rank than Chen Qing sends her a gift, it may be suspected of currying favor. After all, Chen Qing usually does not have any special friendship with others except Concubine Chun.
Chunhua said: "Mrs. Zhao is thoughtful."
Chen Qing thought that she did have good intentions. She and Concubine Zhao were not openly on good terms on weekdays, but if Concubine Zhao suddenly came to show concern at this time, she now had the Fourth Princess by her side, so she didn't need to curry favor with Chen Qing. If she was more active in sending gifts, it would arouse suspicion. Whether it was suspicion that Concubine Zhao was on good terms with her in private or that Concubine Zhao intended to use her favor to do something, it would not be a good thing.
"Put it away."
It's not that Shen Qing doesn't care about Concubine Zhao's efforts, but she has been taking medicine these two days. This tonic was sent by Xuanyuan Ling and the Queen. She didn't put it away and had a nosebleed after taking it.
Shen Qing thought this was a bit too much, and then Concubine Chun gave her a big wave.
Concubine Chun also came to visit Shen Qing with her large amount of supplements.
Chen Qing knew that Concubine Chun was always generous, and she always gave a lot of gifts, and they were all good things. But today, when she came to the door with a box, even Chen Qing's mouth twitched. She suddenly remembered the feeling when Xuanyuan Ling asked someone to send that box of night pearls.
