Dressed like a loser and went to raise a baby

Chapter 472
Bai Jieyu was upset when she received the letter from her father to the palace, when someone from the palace came in to announce that the emperor's father-in-law, Xiaoluzi, was here.

She hurriedly collected the letter and asked people to come in quickly.

Xiaoluzi came in, bowed, and explained his purpose.

"The emperor sent a message to say that Empress Jieyu has been working hard since she came in to take care of the general affairs in the palace. From tomorrow on, the power of managing the harem can be returned to the imperial concubine."

Bai Jieyu's eyes twitched and she controlled her facial expression, "I don't feel it's hard, why did the Emperor so suddenly ask me to hand over the right to manage the harem?"

Xiao Luzi's thoughts moved, and he lowered his eyelids and said: "Today, the imperial concubine went to the Imperial Study Room to deliver soup, saying that her body was completely recovered. Seeing that the empress Jieyu has been looking bad recently, she obviously worked too hard managing the harem. Your Majesty, the emperor met the imperial concubine. Now that your Majesty is well, I will ask the younger one to deliver the message."

"It turns out it's her." Bai Jieyu said through gritted teeth, her voice very low.

Why does she look bad and manage the harem too hard?Concubine Li was clearly telling the emperor that she was incompetent, so she worked too hard on such a small amount of palace affairs.

Bai Jieyu closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "I know this and will send the account books and keys to Concubine Li in the afternoon."

Then he winked at the palace maid next to him and sent Xiao Luzi out. When the palace maid sent him out, she also stuffed a bag of silver into her hand, and Xiao Luzi took it without any hesitation.

It was almost time for dinner, and Cheng Sheng said that Lengxiang Palace would have roast duck for lunch. Crispy duck skin wrapped in spring cakes and dipped in sweet bean sauce was his favorite, so he had to go to Lengxiang Palace to eat some.

After Xiaoluzi left, Bai Jieyu sat on the Arhat bed with a gloomy face. She was really angry that she was given back the right to manage the harem.

If you have recovered from your illness and want to take back the right to manage the harem, just ask the emperor directly. Why do you have to beat around the bush and say that she is not capable?
After she was angry, Bai Jieyu felt something was wrong again. She felt that Concubine Li's body was getting better too quickly.

The injury was obviously so serious. Some time ago, the wound was torn, he had a fever, and he fainted again. How could everything be healed so quickly?
They say it took a long time to break the muscles and bones, but she was directly stabbed with a hole.

Not to mention that he got better so quickly, his complexion was more prosperous than before, his whole person looked radiant, and there was something unusual about him no matter how he looked at it.

Moreover, she clearly heard Concubine Li coughing the day before yesterday, and she was all healed today. How could it be so fast? Maybe Concubine Li was lying to claim that she was all well in order to take back the right to manage the harem as soon as possible!

In order to verify her conjecture, Bai Jieyu sent someone to the Taiyuan Hospital to inquire about it. She found out from a medical girl that Dr. Jia had visited the Yiyun Palace yesterday and a few days ago, and was given a prescription. There are many medicines for relieving cough and nourishing the lungs.

The medical woman was not qualified to read the medical records. She only found out after taking a look at Dr. Jia Yu's medicine.

Can lungs be healed in a short time?

Naturally not.

Bai Jieyu concluded that Concubine Li's body was not fully recovered yet. She rolled her eyes and already had a plan in mind.

It didn't take long for the strong aroma of incense to come out of Baiyun Palace, mixed with the smell of smoke and the sound of coughs.

In the afternoon, Bai Jieyu sent someone to invite Qu Cai, Lu Meiren and Xu Jieyu to Yiyun Palace, saying that she would hand over the account books and keys to Concubine Li.

Xu Jieyu declined due to physical discomfort, but Qu Cai and Lu Meiren were willing to see Bai Jieyu's aggrieved look when she handed over the power of managing the harem to Concubine Li, so they agreed.

The agreed time came and the three of them met at the intersection leading to Yiyun Palace.

After giving the gift to Bai Jieyu, Qu Cairen wrinkled his nose and said, "Sister Bai, what are you using to lavender your clothes? Why do they smell like smoke?" Clothes that are normally smoked with incense smell like smoke. It has a light fragrance, but not only is the smell of incense on Bai Jieyu's body strong, but there is also a smell of smoke that cannot be ignored, making it very uncomfortable to smell it.

"Is there any?" Bai Jieyu raised her hand and smelled the smell on her body, "It seems to have a slight smell. I used agarwood to smoke my clothes. I don't know why there is a smoke smell. Maybe the agarwood is a bit damp. I Let me show you tomorrow."

These are the clothes that she specially smoked with agarwood sticks for two hours. Can they not smell like smoke?

Qu Cairen said nothing more, and the three of them led the palace servants to the Yiyun Palace together. During this period, Qu Cairen and Lu Meiren also made a few sarcastic remarks. Bai Jieyu just listened and did not talk back.

After arriving at the Yiyun Hall and bowing, Concubine Li gave her a seat.

When the three of them looked at Concubine Li, they felt that she was even more radiant. However, they could not express their praise because of the trace of jealousy in their hearts.

Bai Jieyu did not sit down immediately, but took the account book and key from the palace maid and walked to Concubine Li.

The strong smell of incense and smoke entered her throat with her breath. "Cough cough cough..." Concubine Li covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed violently.

Xiao Cui stood beside her and immediately stroked her back softly, while Jing Yu poured warm water.

"What's wrong with the imperial concubine?" Bai Jieyu asked with a genuine smile in her eyes, pretending to be concerned.

"Ahem..." Concubine Li's cough was difficult to stop once she started coughing, and she had no time to pay attention to others.

Qu Cai and Lu Meiren looked at each other and said everything was fine, didn't they?Why are you coughing suddenly?

The cough is so severe, it doesn’t look like I’m getting better!
The two of them were thinking this in their hearts, and looked at Concubine Li with concern on their faces.

After finally feeling better, Concubine Li hurriedly drank a glass of warm water, knowing that she was coughing because of the smell of Bai Jieyu, but it would be fine for normal people to smell this smell, but she kept coughing, obviously because of her If there is something wrong with her heart, others will know that she is not well.

If this news reaches the ears of the emperor, he will definitely think that Che is a power-hungry person who actually lied and said she was fine for the sake of the power to control the harem.

After drinking the water, Concubine Li covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. She motioned with her eyes to Jingyu to take the account book and key from Bai Jieyu's hand, and then said to Bai Jieyu in a hoarse voice: "It's nothing, I just lost my breath for a moment. Sister Bai, please take a seat quickly!"

He wanted Bai Jieyu to sit down so that she could be further away from him.

Naturally, Bai Jieyu would not comply with her wish, and said with a smile: "I'd better stay here, I still have some things to explain to my sister, the imperial concubine."

Concubine Li suppressed the itch in her throat, took a deep breath and said, "We are all sisters, just sit down and talk."

After saying that, he was afraid that if he kept covering his mouth and nose with a veil, others would notice, so he put down the veil and held his breath.

Concubine Li said so, so Bai Jieyu couldn't help but sit down. She thanked her, walked slowly to the chair and sat down.

Although there was a certain distance, Concubine Li could still smell Bai Jieyu's body, so she could only keep drinking water to relieve the itching in her throat caused by the smell of Bai Jieyu's body.
