Poor children

Chapter 138
一
Everyone in Ronghua Palace has sad faces, and everyone is in a hurry. If the master is unhappy, the slaves will not dare to be happy.
"Shunxi, how is your master?" Mrs. Gan just entered the courtyard and saw Shunxi waiting in the courtyard.
"Hey! Madam, you are here. My mistress is resting in the palace right now. She cried all night yesterday. The servant is really worried that she has hurt her body. You are here just now. Please go and try to persuade her."

"Okay! I'll go in and have a look." Mrs. Gan was about to enter Mrs. Xiao's bedroom as she spoke. Suddenly she said to Wu'er, "Don't go in with me. Boil the thousand-year-old ginseng from Goguryeo that the old general asked for and give it to you." Come"

"Yes..." Wu'er responded.

"Don't go by yourself. Ask Xiyun to accompany you. Don't damage things in Ronghua Palace carelessly." Mrs. Gan gave Wu'er a meaningful look.

"My slave understands..." Wu'er stopped after saying that.
"Eunuch Shunxi, could you please lead the way..."

"Hey! Hey...yes..." Shunxi agreed to accompany Mrs. Gan into the palace, but looked at Wuer uneasily.
"Master, Mrs. Gan is here to see you," Shunxi said, lifting up the bed curtains.
Mrs. Gan was sitting on the folded stool. When she lowered her head, she saw Mrs. Xiao's eyes which were red from crying.

"Sister! It's not okay for you to cry like this!" Mrs. Gan advised
"Thank you sister for coming to see me. Don't I know this is not okay? I just feel really sad..." Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Xiao started crying again.
"Why doesn't your Majesty come to accompany you?"

"Your Majesty stayed here until dawn. There were official matters to be handled in the Changping Hall, so Your Majesty just left." Mrs. Xiao kept wiping her tears.
"You! Don't do this. It's too harmful to your health. You have to relax and take good care of yourself as soon as possible. Only by taking good care of your health can you have another baby, right?" Mrs. Gan comforted her and said.
"How can I dare to have another baby?" Mrs. Xiao cried even more sadly. "Some people don't like me and try their best to harm me. No matter how much I have a child, I won't be able to escape such a fate. Let alone a child. How can I?" To protect myself, I also begged the king last night not to visit me again, not to give me any more favors, so as not to bring death to myself..."

"Who in this huge palace wants to harm you?"

"Since I entered the palace, I have been favored by the king, and I have been trusted by the king to manage the harem. Naturally, I have attracted a lot of jealousy. Yesterday, I begged the king to send me home, but the king refused. He actually said that he would double my compensation in the future. , which makes me even more panicked, sister! What do you think I should do?" Mrs. Xiao's frail look will make anyone feel affection for her.

"Master, the ginseng soup is ready!" Wu'er carefully brought in the ginseng soup
"Okay!" Mrs. Gan took the ginseng soup with her own hands. "Sister, this is a thousand-year-old ginseng from the mountains of Goguryeo that I got from my grandfather. It is the best to nourish the body and restore vitality. You can drink a little."

Mrs. Xiao also slowly sat up and took the bowl from Mrs. Dagan's hand. "I'm so grateful, sister, for taking so much trouble. Such a rare treasure is used to nourish me. I'm really grateful..." Mrs. Xiao finished. Just as I was about to drink it, I suddenly coughed violently for some reason. I lost my grip for a moment, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The whole bowl of soup was also spilled.
"Oh! How could I be so clumsy? I knocked over such a precious thing..." Mrs. Xiao seemed to be blaming herself.

"It doesn't matter. My sister's body is important. You don't have to worry about these external things," Mrs. Gan advised.
"I just let down my sister's kindness, and I feel really bad..."

"What's the big deal?" Mrs. Gan said with a smile, "As long as you are well, that's the big deal. There's no need to think about anything else."

At this time, several maids came to clean the palace, Madam Gan got up to leave, and when she left, she inevitably told Madam Xiao a few more words...

"That bowl of soup is really a pity," Wu'er said. "The old general is reluctant to eat it on weekdays. I spent a lot of time cooking it, so it's all in vain..."

"Just let it go!" Mrs. Gan said
"Why did she cough at that time?" "If it wasn't for the bowl of soup she wouldn't cough!" Mrs. Gan laughed.
"Master, what do you mean!?" Wu'er finally realized

"The desire to harm others has become a habit, and she feels that others will harm her. How can she dare to use things from unknown sources?" Mrs. Gan asked again, "How was your chat with Xiyun?"

"Xiyun said that Mrs. Xiao had a stomachache the day before her miscarriage, so she invited the imperial physician to come. After the imperial physician left, she dismissed everyone and cried in the bedroom..."

"Huh!?" Mrs. Gan felt that this matter was very unusual.

"Do you want me to ask the imperial doctor?" Wu'er asked.

"No need, you won't be able to ask anything from the imperial doctor in this situation," Mrs. Gan said
"My slave found this in the woodshed..." Wu'er took out the little peach wood figure from his arms.
Mrs. Gan glanced at it, "Put it away quickly, and don't let others see it..."

Due to the Queen's arrival, the guards in Changning Temple became stricter. The gate, which had never been guarded by guards, even sent additional guards. Besides, there were only two eunuchs to take care of them.
"Hey! Madam, why are you here?" When the two father-in-laws saw Mrs. Gan coming, they hurried forward to salute.

"I'm here to see Her Majesty the Queen," Mrs. Gan replied.
"It's just that the king has ordered that no visits are allowed. The servants can't let you in, madam."

"By saying this, are you asking me to ask for the King's order before I can go in?" Mrs. Gan said angrily.
"I don't dare, I just ask Madam not to embarrass the servants!"

"It's okay if others don't let me in. If I want to go, I'm sure even the king won't stop me. If you insist on asking me to go and ask for the order, I will go. If you don't feel comfortable asking for it yourself, you'll have to deal with it yourself."

"Yo! The slaves didn't mean that, please come in!" The two fathers-in-law heard Mrs. Gan's sharp words, so they let go and asked Mrs. Gan to enter

The pauper was locked up in the temple, but not locked in the room, which was relatively better. At this moment, she was sitting in the yard, basking in the sun leisurely.
"Your Highness the Queen..." Mrs. Gan saluted

"Huh? Is Mrs. Gan here?" Pao'er didn't get up, but waved her to sit next to her.
"Your Majesty, you feel so comfortable." Mrs. Gan sat down next to the pauper.

"I'm not saying that! I didn't expect that this temple is actually a first-class pure place. I don't know who put this rocking chair. It's a blessing for me," the poor man said while lying in the rocking chair.
"I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Queen to be so calm. I didn't expect to see such a scene here..."

Hearing this, the pauper laughed and said, "What do you think you will see? Am I here crying and fighting for death and survival? My destiny is determined by God. Why should I bother to cry? I must be crying for others to see. I want to To ask for some mercy, I don’t need those things, and I haven’t cried since I was a child. The courtyard here is deep, so the trouble must be in vain. It’s better to stay in peace, recuperate, and save some energy..."
