Before that.
In the palace, only Concubine Wan gave birth to the emperor's eldest son.
But the eldest prince was born prematurely.
Weak and sickly.
In the golden winter, I can’t even get out of bed.
Therefore, Zhu Xianyue's baby is particularly precious.
"The noble Zhu was promoted to Concubine Ning, and she occupied the principal seat in Jingyang Palace."
"Send a message to Concubine Wen, asking her to take good care of Concubine Ning's baby. Otherwise, I will only hold her responsible."
“Hey!”
That night, Nan Tingye rested in Jingyang Palace.
Nothing happened between the two.
Nan Tingye's hand was always on Zhu Xianyue's lower abdomen.
It can be seen that he is looking forward to this child.
But also afraid.
I'm afraid that this child will be like the eldest prince, born with a sickly nature.
The next day.
The snow melted.
Concubines from all palaces came to congratulate.
Concubine Wen no longer had the arrogance she had before towards Zhu Xianyue.
Instead, he stared at Zhu Xianyue's belly with envy and unwillingness.
Zhu Xianyue could guess what she was thinking.
Since she couldn't send the Wen family girl to Nan Tingye and she couldn't have children herself, she set her sights on the fetus in Zhu Xianyue's belly.
Zhu Xianyue was born in a humble family.
If she was still a concubine after giving birth to the child, then she would be fully qualified to bring the child to her side and raise him.
However, it also depends on whether the child is a boy or a girl.
If it's a girl, then there's no need.
In addition, Nan Tingye specifically asked Concubine Wen to take care of Zhu Xianyue's baby.
Concubine Wen, who had just offended Nan Tingye, naturally did not dare to let anything happen to Zhu Xianyue's fetus at this time.
All the concubines dispersed.
It's getting late.
Zhu Xianyue didn't think there was anything wrong, but the palace maids around her were worried that something might happen to her.
After everyone is busy with their own work.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ling Shuang knelt down in front of Zhu Xianyue.
"My lady, I have something to say to you..."
Tears come before words can be spoken.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Xianyue quickly dismissed his attendants.
She knew that keeping Ling Shuang behind would be useful.
Only two palace maids, Xunmei and Caiwei, were left in the palace.
Ling Shuang explained that it was the former Concubine Liang, now Concubine Guo, who had just taken advantage of the chaos to slip her a medicine bag.
Ling Shuang doesn't know about Chinese herbal medicine.
But I always feel that it is something that is not good for Zhu Xianyue.
Sure enough, when Zhu Xianyue saw this, she quickly covered her nose with a handkerchief.
Xunmei quickly snatched the medicine bag and stayed away from Zhu Xianyue.
"This filthy thing, I will go and deal with it!"
Zhu Xianyue said softly, "Wait."
"It's so far away, it's not a big deal. Keep it for now. I have a use for it."
"……yes."
Therefore, Zhu Xianyue revealed the fact that he knew medical skills in front of Xunmei, Caiwei and Lingshuang.
Ling Shuang continued, "That Concubine Guo knows that I and... and Doctor Qin from the Imperial Hospital... have been secretly communicating..."
In the Southern Dynasties, it was considered shameful for women to get married without being granted an arranged marriage or without the help of a matchmaker by their parents.
In an ordinary family, such a woman, even if she is of noble birth, can only be a concubine.
The fact that Ling Shuang could speak out about this matter that had damaged her reputation showed that she was really willing to give up everything to repay Zhu Xianyue's kindness.
"Are you...are you crazy?"
"How can you treat yourself like this?"
Xunmei couldn't help but say.
Even Caiwei, who was always calm, frowned.
Ling Shuanghong's face flushed as she said, "I was originally the legitimate daughter of my family. After my mother passed away, my father took my concubine as his wife and gave the marriage that was originally meant for me to my younger sister..."
"Brother Qin is thinking of me... and doesn't want to marry my sister..."
"This servant...doesn't want to disappoint Brother Qin..."
