Empress, she is rising step by step

"Each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, just ask Zhuying for it."

Xiao Yinzi responded happily and said some nice words.

Zhu Ci stretched out his hand to interrupt them, "I was originally promoted to the imperial concubine by the emperor, which made everyone in the palace look at me with suspicion. Now that I have been granted the title of Baolin within a few months of being a concubine, I'm afraid they will hate me even more.

She glanced at Xiao Yinzi and the others, "In the future, you should be more careful in what you say and do. Don't get too carried away. Only by being careful in what you say and do in the palace can you live a long life by being loyal to the Lord. I will not treat you badly. you."

Xiao Yinzi immediately understood the meaning of Zhu Ci's words and took the lead in speaking loudly.

"A slave is born as his master, and dies as his master's ghost. In this life, he has only one master. Even if he turns into an ox or a horse in the next life, he must stay by his side."

Cui Lan and Hong Xiu also expressed their loyalty, and Zhu Ci waved his hand.

"You're still out of breath after just a few words. There are many people who want to make me cows and horses. It's your turn and you don't know the year of the monkey yet. Come down and have breakfast. Don't starve your body."

Zhuying didn't move. After Xiaoyinzi and others left, she stepped forward.

"It's a happy event for my master to be promoted to a higher rank. Why don't you look very happy?"

"The title of Jin is a happy thing for me, but it is also a troublesome thing. In less than half an hour, the news that I was awarded the title of Baolin by the emperor will definitely spread throughout the harem. I am thinking about how to face the difficulties of the imperial concubine. "

According to Zhuci's understanding of Bai Xinrui, she was quite dissatisfied with the fact that she was so favored by the emperor, and she kept it secret because she wanted to keep herself useful.

But he also used words to stab her from time to time. Now that she was named Baolin so quickly, I am afraid that the imperial concubine will be even more wary of her.

If he didn't say he wanted her life, he would probably use other people's help to make it easier for her.

"That is the emperor's decision. It is useless for the imperial concubine to be angry with you. You did not force the emperor to do this. Why is the imperial concubine so angry?"

Zhu Xin said angrily: "But your holy family is so generous, which is also a good thing for the imperial concubine. The most indispensable thing in the palace is women. If it is someone else, it is better to be the master. At least you and the imperial concubine are in the same boat. At present, When one is prosperous, both are prosperous, and when one is lost, both are harmed.”

She brought some tea and asked Zhu Ci to rinse her mouth, "If this slave is a noble concubine, I will win over you first, and then we can make plans after we join forces with you to trip up others."

"Because you are a bystander, you naturally know what is best for you. But the imperial concubine is the authority. She may have thought the same thing as you, but she couldn't bear that a person of humble origin like me took away her favor. ."

Zhu Ci handed the tea cup to Zhuying and wiped the tea stains on the corners of her lips with a handkerchief.

"The most important thing is that the imperial concubine truly loves the emperor. Love can blind people's eyes and ears. What I am more worried about is that someone will sow discord behind his back."

There was a faint worry hidden in Zhuying's eyebrows, "Then the master will have to be wronged first. As long as the emperor has the master in his heart, the imperial concubine will not go too far, otherwise it will only hurt the relationship between the emperor and the emperor. ."

Shen Que hurried all the way to Weiyang Palace. When the palace servants who were cleaning saw the emperor coming, they all stopped to say hello.

Shen Que waved his hand and told them all to get up and strode to the dormitory. As soon as he entered the dormitory, he clearly felt that the room was too cold and not as warm as the main hall.

Wen Yuanyuan was lying on the bed very ill, covered with a brocade quilt. The green satin was embroidered with large tracts of blooming albizia flowers, which made her face look frighteningly sallow, and she moaned in pain.

Ming Xia, who looked anxious, saw that Shen Que had arrived, knelt down and whispered: "Your Majesty."

Wen Yuanyuan opened her eyes slowly when she heard the voice, and when she saw Shen Chen walking towards her, she stretched out her hand tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, are you here?" Her eyes were filled with tears and her voice was choked with sobs. "I feel so uncomfortable, it hurts indescribably, and my heart is pounding. Your Majesty, do you think I am going to die?"

"Nonsense! You are still pregnant with the child. If you say anything unlucky, both you and the child will be safe."

Shen Que held Wen Yuanyuan's hand. Her hand was surprisingly cold and covered with sticky cold sweat.

Shen Que was shocked. He looked at Ming Xia with sinister eyes, "What happened to your master? Wasn't he still eating, drinking, and jumping around a few days ago? Why did it suddenly happen like this?"

"Going back to the emperor, my master has actually been feeling a little unwell a few days ago. At first it was a headache, then it was a constant nightmare, and then it became more and more serious. The master was afraid that the emperor would worry, so he kept it secret from his servant. ."

Ming Xia knelt on the ground, "My master is feeling particularly uncomfortable today. He was worried that something might happen to the emperor's heir in his belly, so he ordered this slave to invite the emperor to come over."

Shen Que frowned and turned to see Wen Yuanyuan's forehead covered with dense cold sweat. He picked up the handkerchief lying aside and wiped the sweat from her head, and asked Li Quan irritably.

"Why hasn't the imperial doctor arrived yet? If something happens to the child in Beauty Wen's belly, I want his head!"

Li Quan trembled with fright, "It should be arriving soon. I will go out to greet you."

After saying that, he almost trotted out. Xiao Fuzi was standing outside the door with his hands down, watching Li Quan running out in a hurry. Just as he was confused, he listened to Li Quan's instructions to him.

"The emperor is very angry. Go and see what's going on with the imperial doctor? Let him come to Weiyang Palace immediately, and we won't have his head later."

"Okay." Xiao Fuzi didn't dare to delay and hurried to find the imperial doctor.

"Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you."

Shen Que shook Wen Yuanyuan's hands vigorously. He smelled a faint fragrance, and his eyes fell on a three-legged hibiscus stone incense burner by the window. The pink colored glass was several kilograms transparent under the sunlight, and there was something about it. Curls of green smoke continued to float out from inside.

"What kind of incense is burned in the palace? Don't you know that pregnant people can't use incense casually? Moreover, your master has chest tightness and can't breathe. How can he do anything when he lights such a heavy incense without opening the windows and doors for ventilation? Let me see. Let’s just send you to Yeting Palace to avoid being distracted.”

Ming Xia trembled all over, her face full of grievances. Wen Yuanyuan's weak voice sounded, "Your Majesty, don't blame Ming Xia. It was my concubine who asked her to do this. She was cold and couldn't sleep well, so she asked Ming Xia to light benzoin, and finally she could Get some sleep."

"You are still excusing her, but you should also pay attention to measurement. I feel stuffy and panicked."

Shen Que scolded Ming Xia, "What are you still doing? Take out the incense quickly."

Ming Xia was so frightened that she rolled around and went out holding the incense burner.

At this time, the imperial doctor finally arrived. Seeing that Shen Que's face was gloomy, he didn't dare to breathe out and immediately checked Wen Yuanyuan's pulse.

Seeing the imperial doctor's gray eyebrows furrowing more and more tightly, his face looked suspicious.

Shen Que thought something had happened to the child in Wen Yuanyuan's belly, and his heart tightened.

"What happened to Wenmei?"

The imperial doctor took back his hand, not knowing what to say, "Back to the emperor, Wenmei is in good health and everything is safe."
