Chapter 523: Lady Sun is Unwell
Chapter 523: Lady Sun is Unwell
"You are pregnant with the royal heir, this is a great joyous event!"
Lady Hao looked at Doctor Xu and asked nervously, "But will the slap I received today affect the heir in my belly?"
Doctor Xu said respectfully, "The young lady is in good health and her pulse is stable. There will be no problem."
A trace of hatred flashed across Concubine Hao's eyes: "It's good that it doesn't cause any trouble. If my child is hurt, I will never reconcile with Concubine Shu!"
Chu Er said angrily: "That's it!"
"My lady, why don't you send someone to tell His Majesty about this? If His Majesty knew that you were pregnant with the heir and were punished by Concubine Shu, he would be furious."
"When that happens, Concubine Shu will suffer even more!"
Ruoli agreed with this.
However, she had no right to interfere in other people's palace affairs, so she didn't say anything.
Concubine Liang knew what was the best way to handle the situation, but she wanted to know if Concubine Hao was smart enough.
Will she be like Mrs. Meng in the past, who became complacent once she became pregnant with a royal heir and ended up with nothing?
So I didn't say anything.
Concubine Hao did not agree with Chu Er's words, but said seriously: "No!"
"I can't let anyone know that I'm pregnant now!"
Then, she looked at Concubine Liang and pleaded, "Your Majesty should understand that the harem is dangerous. Once you get pregnant, you will become the target of public criticism."
"I am just a noble lady now, I am afraid I can't protect the heir in my belly. Please, Madam Liangfei, keep this secret for me!"
Concubine Liang hid the dark color in her eyes and said with a smile: "Seeing that my sister is so cautious and careful, I feel relieved."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about this."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Doctor Xu.
Doctor Xu immediately bowed and said, "Don't worry, Lady Hao, I am not a talkative person. I will never say anything that I shouldn't say!"
Despite his assurance, Concubine Hao still signaled Chu'er to take a heavy bag of silver and give it to Doctor Xu.
Concubine Hao's family background was not prominent, and her allowance was not much. Even though the emperor had given her many rewards these days, those things could not be directly exchanged for silver.
One can imagine how long it took Concubine Hao to save such a large bag of silver.
Doctor Xu was Concubine Liang's man, and he certainly wouldn't reveal the news to anyone else without Concubine Liang's permission. But in order to reassure Concubine Hao, he still accepted the money.
After the great joy, Concubine Hao felt more worried and fearful.
There are many women in the harem who are pregnant, but only a few can give birth...
Apart from the favor from His Majesty, which changed at some point in time, she had no one to rely on in the palace.
Now that his face is bruised and swollen like this, I’m afraid he won’t even get any love from me…
Concubine Hao tightly grasped Concubine Liang's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "My Lady Concubine Liang, I have no one to rely on in the deep palace, and only you care about me."
"I am afraid that I cannot guarantee the safe birth of the heir in my belly with my own strength. I hope that Your Majesty will have mercy on us and protect us..."
Having said this, Concubine Hao stood up and knelt down towards Concubine Liang.
"Sister Hao, what is this doing?"
Concubine Liang quickly supported her and said gently, "This is about the heir to the throne. I will certainly agree to whatever my sister asks for. Why do you need to perform such a grand ceremony?"
Seeing that Concubine Liang agreed, Concubine Hao felt relieved: "Thank you, Your Majesty..."
Fortunately, there are good people like Concubine Liang in the harem. Otherwise, if she gets pregnant, she will be worried and sleep poorly every day...
After this episode, Concubine Liang comforted Concubine Hao for a few more words, told her some precautions, and then stood up and said, "Sister Hao, you don't need to go out these days, just stay in Shuiyuexuan and rest and take care of your pregnancy."
"If there is anything, or if you need anything, please send someone to Changchun Palace to let me know."
Concubine Hao thanked her and said, "Thank you, Concubine Liang!"
After leaving Shuiyue Pavilion, Concubine Liang solemnly warned: "Before Concubine Hao's pregnancy is stable, you must not reveal a single word of what happened today!"
Doctor Xu's son did not practice medicine, but worked under Concubine Liang's brother. He listened to Concubine Liang's words.
"Wei Chen understands!"
Concubine Liang smiled and nodded: "I am confident in your ability. I will leave Concubine Hao's dragon fetus to you for care."
"No matter what, I want this child to be born safely!"
Doctor Xu said seriously: "I understand. I will do my best to ensure that Lady Hao's dragon fetus is safe!"
After this episode, Concubine Liang got on the sedan chair and returned to Changchun Palace.
Although there was not much expression on her face, Ruoli could still feel that Concubine Liang was in a good mood today.
Not only Concubine Liang, she was also very happy: "Your Majesty, the former Meng was useless. She was not lucky enough to give birth to the royal heir even though she was pregnant. From what I see, Concubine Hao is much smarter than her, and she will definitely not follow in Meng's footsteps."
Concubine Liang sat in the main seat and did not speak.
Judging from the reaction of Concubine Hao after she knew she was pregnant, she was indeed smarter and more patient than Concubine Meng. Concubine Liang was worried that she was too smart.
But it doesn’t matter. Concubine Hao has only been pregnant for more than a month, so there is still a long way to go.
……
Lan Yuexuan.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu'er entered the inner room and called softly, "My lady, it's time to get up..."
Lady Sun yawned, opened her eyes and asked lazily, "What time is it?"
Zhu Er said, "It's already 9 o'clock, young lady, it's time to get up."
Lady Sun nodded: "I understand. Please help me wash and dress."
"I don't know why, but I've been feeling very tired lately. I can't get enough sleep no matter how hard I try..."
Zhu Er helped her get up and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because winter has arrived. In winter, people tend to be sleepy."
Not to mention the young lady, even the palace maids want to stay in their warm bed and not get up every morning.
Concubine Sun nodded: "Fortunately, there is no queen in the palace now, otherwise I would have to get up early every day to pay respects to Kunning Palace, and I would never be able to get up..."
After washing up, the palace maid brought in breakfast.
Concubine Sun didn't know what she smelled, and suddenly she covered her mouth and vomited.
Zhu Er was startled: "My dear, what's wrong with you?!"
After a while, Concubine Sun finally responded and waved her hand: "Leave first, I have no appetite today."
Zhu'er was very worried: "My lady, could it be that you went to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the flowers yesterday and got a cold in the cold wind?"
Lady Sun shook her head: "I don't know. Maybe..."
Zhu Er said nervously, "We need to ask a doctor to come and take a look. Your health is very important."
Concubine Sun stopped her: "Don't use it for now."
"Now that Sister Xianfei has become the leader of all concubines, there are countless eyes in the harem staring at our Zhongcui Palace. I don't want to mobilize a large force."
"Wait a couple of days, maybe it will be fine."
"By the way, don't tell Sister Xianfei about this, lest she worry."
Zhu Er had no choice but to lower her head and said, "Yes..."
