"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhu has been unconscious for a whole day and hasn't woken up yet. Can you please invite an imperial physician, or a medical officer, for her?" Mei'er looked at Zhu'er lying unconscious on the bed, gritted her teeth, and went to the main hall to kneel and beg.
Ju'er was standing beside Concubine Ji, fanning herself slowly.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Ji didn't say anything, but Ju'er raised the corner of her lips indifferently: "Oh? Our sister Mei'er really feels sorry for Concubine Zhu! She even wants to hire an imperial physician for her!"
You have to know that when concubines of a high status like selected ladies fall ill, they usually have to rely on themselves to get through it, or ask some newly promoted doctors to see them. Doctors of the rank of imperial physicians usually only treat the emperor, the empress dowager, and the queen.
Before, Jipin was able to find an imperial physician to see her because of good luck. The emperor had given her permission, and later she became pregnant with the first child in the entire harem. Otherwise, how could she have hired an imperial physician?
Mei'er lowered her head, her hands clenched nervously: "I said something wrong, please ask for a doctor."
Juer didn't say anything at this point, but just snorted coldly.
Only then did Jipin slowly open her eyes.
She glanced at Mei'er's face with an ambiguous expression, and after a long while she finally smiled: "Well, after all, we are master and servant. I will invite a doctor to come to Concubine Zhu, which can be regarded as a way to repay her for serving me."
After saying that, she waved to Juer beside her.
Ju'er responded respectfully, then took Jipin's card and rushed to the Imperial Hospital.
About twenty minutes later, Juer brought a young man to the side hall of Jinse Pavilion.
"Sir, the one in the room is Consort Zhu. Please show her around," Ju'er pointed to the shabby doorway of the side hall and smiled. "I have to go and serve our queen, so I won't follow you in."
The young man nodded, his expression serious.
Lu Yunxi was hiding in the corner and happened to see the young man's slightly trembling legs.
There was a flicker of doubt in her eyes.
What the hell? What is he afraid of? Did Ju'er threaten the doctor privately, asking him to kill him?
She couldn't help but narrow her eyes and jumped onto a branch with lush branches.
The young man took a deep breath and exhaled, and after repeating this several times, he walked into the side hall with his fists clenched.
He muttered to himself, "Today, all the other adults are out, and I'm the only one left. I'm so scared... Damn it! No! I was wrong! I need to stay calm! It's okay, I will definitely succeed in being selected as a concubine."
He kept muttering to himself while clenching his fists, as if this was the only way to give himself courage.
When he walked to the door, he looked calm and reliable. If Lu Yunxi hadn't seen how scared he looked outside, she would have thought he was really so calm.
But after hearing his words, Lu Yunxi also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't secretly plot to murder Consort Zhu, it would be fine.

"Concubine Zhu is pregnant, congratulations!" The doctor carefully felt the patient's pulse through his handkerchief, pondered for a long time before withdrawing his hand, touching his beard and smiling.
Mei'er's extremely nervous mood relaxed instantly, and then a smile appeared on her face. After all, Zhu'er grew up with her. Although she did not agree with Zhu'er serving the emperor, the best thing for Zhu'er was to give birth to the dragon fetus safely.
"Thank you, sir. Is the child okay?" She took out a purse from her sleeve and carefully handed it to the doctor.
The doctor felt the silver in his purse and accepted it without hesitation.
"Don't worry, the dragon fetus in Concubine Zhu's belly is very healthy. Although she knelt for a long time, it was not hurt." He nodded and smiled faintly, then changed the subject, "However, you must pay attention to Concubine Zhu's own health. She was not well taken care of before and is a little weak. I'm afraid she will suffer when giving birth."
After Mei'er asked clearly what to feed Zhu Xianshi, she sent the doctor away with many thanks.
While the doctor was taking Concubine Zhu's pulse, Ju'er knelt silently in front of Concubine Ji in the main hall of Jinse Pavilion.
"How is it? You found the youngest doctor for Concubine Zhu, right?" Jipin gently stroked the flowers on the table with her facial expression.
"Your Majesty, I will do my job, so please rest assured!" Ju'er said proudly. "When I arrived at the Imperial Hospital, only the youngest physician was there. The Imperial Physician and the other officials were busy. Even Heaven is helping you!"
Jipin withdrew her hand and smiled kindly: "That's fine. After all, she is a concubine. I'm afraid it will ruin her luck if I let the imperial physician examine her."
Ju'er flattered, "Your Majesty is right!"
In the main hall, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Everyone was laughing happily here. Concubine Zhu finally woke up under Mei'er's careful care.
When she learned that she was pregnant, she was shocked at first, and then her face was filled with joy.
Because Concubine Zhu was not assigned a palace maid at all, Mei'er hurried to report the news when she saw that Concubine Zhu was feeling better.
When the emperor learned that another concubine was pregnant, he was overjoyed.
After Concubine Ji, no concubine had been pregnant, and this was the second one. It was very likely that this baby would be a prince! Even if it wasn't a prince, he would be very happy, after all, there was only one child in the palace!
After receiving the news, the emperor immediately got on his sedan chair and came here.
However, Jipin, who was also in Jinse Pavilion, did not know about this.
Because she hated Consort Zhu so much, Concubine Ji didn't even want to send anyone to find out about her situation. It just so happened that a young palace maid passed by and heard that the side hall only had a plate of vegetables for dinner. She was so angry that she almost cried.
Upon hearing the news, Jipin happily ate two large bowls of rice on the spot and is still feeling full.
The palace is really too big.
When the emperor's sedan chair arrived at Jinse Pavilion, the moon had already risen.
