Chapter 243 I Don’t Want to Leave
"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace." Nanny Wei felt that her heart would stop beating if she continued to discuss these things with Concubine Yi outside.
Concubine Yi was not in a hurry and walked slowly: "I still think I should marry the girl from the Chen family, so that I can have a closer relationship with the Empress."
It's really worrying. The Queen Mother is not used to it either, because she is not used to it.
"Mammy, please find a way to get me the portraits of all the young ladies of the Chen family. Even if I don't choose Chen Ruijin, I have to pick the most beautiful one. She can't be outdone by Concubine Shu." Concubine Yi said again.
Chen Ruijin was a beautiful girl, so she must be one of the sisters in the mansion.
Madam Wei was so upset that she almost cried, "Your Majesty, please stop talking."
"Do you really want to do this?"
Concubine Yi nodded heavily, "Yes, if that doesn't work, let Qingyun ask the Eighth Prince to make the decision. My son has followed him, so he can't even satisfy such a small request as marrying a beautiful concubine to his brother, right?"
Nanny Wei: “…”
My lady, this is clearly your own selfish motive.
Competing with Concubine Shu.
"Oh, by the way, didn't they say that Concubine Zhen is pregnant? Let's go visit her. When she was punished by Concubine Shu, it was the Empress Dowager who stepped forward to protect her. Since then, she has been close to the Empress Dowager. Now that she is pregnant, I should show some concern." Concubine Yi said, and turned around to go to the Yanx Palace.
Nanny Wei grabbed her and said inwardly, "Madam, if you want to show your concern, shouldn't we bring a gift?"
Concubine Yi: "I am Concubine Yi. Going to comfort her in person is the greatest favor."
"My lady, we are not going to demonstrate."
It's a gesture of goodwill, a gesture of goodwill.
Faced with Concubine Yi who does whatever she wants, Nanny Wei says she feels very tired.
Concubine Yi frowned irritably and walked back to her palace: "Okay, okay, go back and prepare the gifts."
After all this time, she didn't want to go anymore.
Nanny Wei picked out a hundred-year-old ginseng and a portion of top-quality blood swallows wrapped in a brocade box. She looked at Concubine Yi lying on the couch and couldn't help but twitch her lips: "Madam, are you still going to the Yanxi Palace?"
"It's too far. I don't want to go any further." Concubine Yi turned over and said lazily, "You can carry it over for me."
So willful!
Nanny Wei resigned herself to her fate and took the gift and left.
When entering the main hall of the Yanx Palace, Nanny Wei saw Lu Xiang was there too.
"Your servant greets Concubine Zhen. May your Majesty be well." Nanny Wei bowed and called out.
Concubine Zhen hurriedly asked her to excuse herself.
"I wonder why Madam suddenly came to visit?"
Madam Wei presented the brocade box in her hand and said with a smile, "My master heard that the queen was pregnant, so he specially ordered me to bring supplements to congratulate the queen."
Concubine Zhen looked at Nanny Wei in surprise and asked Su Wei to take the brocade box.
"Thank Concubine Yi for her kindness. Madam Wei, please come and sit down and have a cup of tea."
Nanny Wei smiled and said, "No, I still have to go back to serve Concubine Yi, so I'll take my leave first."
"Madam, please take care." said Concubine Zhen.
After Nanny Wei left, Su Wei opened the brocade box for Concubine Zhen to look at. Seeing the top-quality ginseng and bird's nest inside, Su Wei smiled and said, "The gift from Concubine Yi is really different this time."
Lu Xiang looked at Su Wei curiously: "What's the difference?"
Su Wei thought about it and described it as: "It's heartfelt."
Lu Xiang: “…”
This shows how casually Concubine Yi gave gifts in the past.
Concubine Zhen glared at Su Wei speechlessly and said, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense about Concubine Yi."
"Yes, master." Su smiled, closed the brocade box, and put it away.
Concubine Zhen looked at Su Wei's back as she happily left. A hint of trepidation flashed across her delicate face. She said, "Whether it's sincere or not, I really don't dare to touch the gifts brought by other concubines except those sent by the Empress."
As she spoke, she touched her belly, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her eyes were filled with the tenderness of a mother.
Lu Xiang smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Are the palace maids reliable?"
Concubine Zhen looked at Lu Xiang and said, "To be honest, except for Su Wei and Fu Yue, I think everyone in the Yanxi Palace seems to have bad intentions. But they have all been with me for many years. I have already eliminated a group of people with ulterior motives after the last miscarriage. But people's hearts are hidden, so I can't say for sure."
Lu Xiang nodded in understanding: "No matter what, let people be careful with what they use and eat."
"Yes, I understand." Zhenpin was moved when she heard Lu Xiang's caring words.
"Is the imperial physician reliable?" Lu Xiang asked again.
Concubine Zhen said: "But... rely on it!"
Having said this, Concubine Zhen herself couldn't help but feel insecure.
"He's not a new imperial physician. Could he be planning to murder the heir to the throne? Besides, I don't want him to do anything that'll cost me my life. He just needs to help me keep my pregnancy safe."
Lu Xiang nodded and said, "It's fine as long as you know what's going on, aunt."
Concubine Zhen looked at Lu Xiang with a bright smile: "I know you care about you, don't worry, your aunt is not so easy to be framed."
After sitting for a while, Lu Xiang got up and left.
When I went out, I saw the imperial physician carrying a medicine box and being led in by Fu Yue.
Lu Xiang looked at the slightly young face, surprise flashed across his eyes, and he stopped for a moment.
Su Wei saw Lu Xiang stopped, so she turned her head and looked at her: "Miss San, what's wrong?"
"Is that the imperial physician who helped my aunt with her pregnancy?" Lu Xiang looked away and asked Su Wei.
Su smiled and nodded: "Exactly, that's Doctor Xu."
"So young? Should we ask Her Majesty to replace him with someone older and with more experience?" Lu Xiang said with a frown.
Su Wei just thought that Lu Xiang was worried that Doctor Xu was young and his medical skills were not very good, so she smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, Miss San. Anyone who can enter the palace to be an imperial physician has outstanding medical skills. Don't look at Doctor Xu's young age. The medical skills of the older doctors are inferior to his. It can be seen that sometimes the quality of a doctor's medical skills cannot be judged by whether he is young or not."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiang just pursed her lips, said nothing more, and turned to leave the palace.
On the way back, she was silent all the way.
Seeing this, Yun Zhe couldn't help but ask, "Miss, you looked so wrong since you came out of Chuxiu Palace, what's wrong?"
Lu Xiang glanced at Yun Zha and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
What would she say?
Do you think there is something wrong with Doctor Xu?
Lu Xiang knew Doctor Xu because in her previous life, after she married Xiao Muheng, when she entered the palace, Doctor Xu was caught having an affair with a maid in Concubine Xian's palace. This was a taboo in the palace, and both of them were executed.
Perhaps this does not prove that Doctor Xu would murder Concubine Zhen.
But Lu Xiang's sixth sense told her that she had to be on guard against this.
Instead of waiting, it is better to take the initiative.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiang said to Ah Man on the other side: "Ah Man, please keep an eye on Doctor Xu for me and find out where he lives and what his daily schedule is like."
Although Ah Man was not in a hurry, he did not ask any more questions and just nodded in agreement.
