Looking at the backs of Ku'er and the others holding Chang Qing and slowly leaving, my mood became heavier.

What happened tonight has made me realize the uneasiness in this harem, but I have prepared for all this and have long known it. I just didn't expect that Chang Qing—

Maybe, it wasn't unexpected.

When she was pregnant, Yan Wuyu once said that she was cold and had no children. Such a woman would not be healthy and worry-free for the rest of her life. In addition, she had miscarriages two years ago, which would definitely leave some sequelae. I have experienced all these and I know very well that her condition is not very optimistic.

But I have to take care of a troublesome me.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh. Su Su didn't think so much, so she just came over to hold my arm and said, "Miss, it's cold, don't always stand at the door, otherwise you'll catch a cold. It's just the hour of the year, so let's sleep for a while."

I was no longer sleepy, but if I didn't sleep at this time, Susu and Madam Wu had to stay up late to accompany me, so I nodded and agreed, slowly walked back to the bed and lay down. Susu covered me with a quilt, put down the curtain, blew out the candles on the table, and then retreated.

Sure enough, after lying down, I woke up so much that I was not sleepy at all.

I looked at the window, and the mottled shadows of trees outside were still shaking. I kept watching this, and I didn’t know when someone would appear there again.

...

Finally, it was dawn.

I blinked my empty eyes, and when I turned my head, I saw Miaoyan's big black and white eyes blinking, and a very clear light shining in the dark light.

As soon as I looked at her, all the troubles that had been entangled all night disappeared. I smiled and leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek, then hugged her and got up. Su Su and the others came to serve and dress and wash. After everything was taken care of, I heard a knock on the door outside.

I don't know who it is.

I winked at Susu, and she went to open the door. As soon as she opened it, she heard her "ah".

I looked up and saw a young man in brocade clothes jumping in.

"Aunt Qing!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

I watched Nian Shen run in from outside in surprise, with a lot of mud and snow on his feet, as if he was walking from a long distance, but he didn't feel cold or tired at all. A handsome little face was full of excitement and flushed, and he ran to me happily: "Aunt Qing! You are back!"

"Well, why did your highness come?"

"As soon as I came back, I heard my mother say that Aunt Qing had decided to live in the palace. I was so happy that I came to see you right away."

As he said that, he grabbed my hands and looked behind me. In fact, the house was still the same house as before. There was no difference because of my permanent or short living. But after he looked at it, he seemed to have really seen something, and his eyes bent up with a smile: "Aunt Qing, have you really decided to live there?"

I smiled and said, "Even if Aunt Qing will lie to you, how could the Queen lie to you?"

"This is great!"

Seeing that he was so happy that he was a little overwhelmed, I also laughed.

He turned around and saw Miaoyan still sitting at the table. I hadn't finished my bowl of porridge, and then laughed: "Every time I come, I encounter Aunt Qing and Miaoyan's sister eating."

"That's the way down the palace." I smiled and said, "Do you want to eat a little more?"

He looked at me: "Okay."

After saying that, he really sat down. I asked Susu to serve him a bowl of porridge. Seeing him happily eat it, he didn't want to try it or hesitate. After eating, he helped me pick up food in Miaoyan's bowl, looking like a mature and sensible big brother. Although I knew it, he was just a little older than Miaoyan.

While feeding Miaoyan a porridge, I chatted with him and said, "By the way, I came back yesterday, why didn't I see Your Highness? Where did Your Highness go?"

"I went to the Ministry of Revenue, and later went to Wu Shangshu to take a look."

"..." I was stunned - Wu Yanqiu?

Why are Nian Shen and him getting involved again?

Seeing that I looked at him with some confusion, Nian Shen himself was generous and smiled and said, "Father said I am old and can no longer play all day like a child. I have to learn to do things."

I smiled and said, "That's true."

"After spring, several embankments of the Yellow River need to be inspected. My father asked me to go and take a look."

"That's how it's serious. Will Your Highness leave Beijing?"

"Well, I'll go with Lord Wu in a few more days."

So that's the case, no wonder I haven't seen him these two days - but that's fine. Pei Yuanhao had been showing dissatisfaction with the prince before, which made me feel a little worried. Now, he has started to send the prince out to do business, which means he still has the desire to cultivate his son.

As long as this is the case, the future of deep thoughts will not be a big problem.

So, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and told him to be careful on the way and take good care of myself. Nian Shen smiled and said, "Aunt Qing is the same as her mother. Even the tone of speaking is exactly the same."

I smiled and said, "How can I compare to the Empress? Your mother commands the six palaces. She has hundreds of small things every day. She can do everything well and takes care of your affairs. When you go out this time, you must do the things assigned by the emperor. This will make the emperor happy and make your mother less worried. Your Highness is also a big deal. It is your Highness who has taken some responsibility."

Hearing me say this, Nian Shen's expression became cautious, he was silent for a while, and said softly: "I understand."

I smiled and patted his shoulder gently.

After I finished feeding Miaoyan to eat, Su Su and the others came to clean up the dishes on the table. Nian Shen got up and said goodbye. I asked, "Where is Your Highness going next?"

He said, "Go to the Imperial Pharmacy and then go back to Jixian Palace when you go down."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What are you doing when you go to the Imperial Pharmacy? Is Your Highness sick?"

"It's not me, it's the queen."

My heart sank: "Empress?"

"Well, my mother's body has never been very good. Last night, I don't know why, but I heard that she didn't seem to have a good sleep. Today I was a little heavy and didn't even eat breakfast. I'll go to the imperial pharmacy to take a look."

I couldn't help but frown.

It seems that Chang Qing did not publicize the incident last night, which is not difficult to understand. After all, I was just the first day of living in, and it is not good to have anything to make a big deal.

When Nian Shen left, I stopped for a while and asked Susu to take good care of Miaoyan in the house and I went to visit Chang Qing by myself.

After leaving this small yard, I walked forward for a while and arrived at Chang Qing's residence.

However, as soon as I walked over, I saw Xing'er and the others bringing hot tea and snacks in. When I saw me, I hurried over to pay my respects. I hurriedly replied, and then said with a smile: "Can the Queen eat?"

Xing'er shook her head.

"Then, these are—"

"The imperial concubine is here."

"What?"

My heart hopped slightly, and I looked at the closed room in front of me with the doors and windows, quiet, as if there was no one, but I never thought that Nangong Lizhu was also inside.

I said in confusion: "Why is she here?"

"Who knows," Xing'er said, with a somewhat displeased expression on her face, and said, "I came to talk to the Empress early in the morning. When she saw that the Empress was sick, she asked about her well-being and refused to leave for a long time. She said that she wanted to speak with her own body. What kind of body and self-being can the Empress have to say to her? Until now, the Empress is not in good spirits and has to spend time with her. It's really-"

My brows frowned a little deeper.

Nangong Lizhu and Chang Qing... talk about their own things?

This is a joke, but for some reason, it sounds a little strange now.

There are some enemies who can pretend to be intimate and friendly in front of the world without tearing each other on the surface. However, even if Chang Qing and Nangong Lizhu don’t tear each other, there is no need to pretend to be intimate and friendly. After all, they have grown up together since childhood and know the roots of the bottom of the story. At this time, it will be a joke.

However, Nangong Lizhu made this move.

What's the meaning?

I was frowning and thinking, Kuo'er had already retreated from the inside. When I saw Xing'er standing here, I hurried over and whispered: "Why haven't you sent it in yet? The Empress is urging me."

"Oh, I'll send it in now."

After saying that, he hurried in with something. Guer watched her go in and close the door. Then he felt relieved, looking back at me and nodded in salute.

I also smiled and said, "The Imperial Concubine has been here for a while, right? I wonder how the Empress is in spirit?"

"It's okay." Kou'er said, then smiled and said, "Miss Yan is going to go in and see the Empress?"

"Since the imperial concubine is still inside, I won't bother you anymore. Let's come back later."

"It's good. Miss, go back and rest first. It's windy outside, so don't catch a cold."

"Um."

I nodded, turned around and walked back. When I reached the door, I looked back and saw her hurriedly walking back to Chang Qing's house.

Looking at the room where doors and windows were closed again, I couldn't help but frown deeply again.

Nangong Lizhu...

Chang Qing...

|

Although I have many acquaintances in this harem, there are not many places and people who can walk around and chat. Besides, I didn’t originally like the fun and the people who like to walk around.

But today, I feel a little uneasy for some reason.

After leaving Chang Qing's place, I did not go back immediately, but left Jingren Palace, asked the two little palace maids about their way, and went straight to Zhaoxin Palace.

Concubine Ning Yang Jinqiao lives here.

She didn't know what happened yesterday. I thought about it and wanted to tell her about it and ask her for her opinion.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the door, I saw a few little palace maids guarding outside. When I saw me, I hurriedly came forward: "Miss Yan is here."

"Well, your ladies--"
