Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 161

After the emperor and all the concubines left, Chen Wenxin on the embroidered bed opened his eyes.

Bai Lu stepped forward to open the curtain, hung the low lotus-colored bed curtains on the golden hooks on both sides, and bent down to help Chen Wenxin up.

"I'm pretending to be dizzy, I'm not that fragile."

She comforted Bai Lu, got up from the bed, and walked outside the screen.

Bai Lu didn't know that she was pretending to be dizzy, she knew it from the moment she wrote on Lu Zong's hand.

But half of the symptoms that Lu Zong just mentioned are true.

"Master, it is true that he ate less than before, and did not sleep as much. Just now in Changchun Palace, Yu Changzai was out of breath, isn't it true?"

Bai Lu helped her out, and asked Lu Zongdao: "Doctor Lu, the emperor and the ladies are gone now. Tell me, is our master's illness serious or not?"

Before Lu Zong could open his mouth, Chen Wenxin said: "What's the matter? I eat less because of the hot summer and my appetite is poor. I sleep less because your master and I are out of favor now. If someone catches someone who sleeps until the sun The handle, wouldn't it cause more trouble?"

Bai Lu felt that what she said seemed to make sense, so she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Lu Zongdao: "Your Majesty, don't be too strong. Food and sleep are still secondary. Your Majesty used to have much more than ordinary people. Now it's okay to have less."

Chen Wenxin blushed a little, and she ate and slept much more than normal people, which translates to being lazy.

"It's just that the empress has been restless recently, and the stagnation of Qi and blood is a major issue. Did the empress feel that she couldn't hold her breath just now, so she took the opportunity to pretend to be unconscious?"

She laughed and said, "Why am I so restless, I was really out of breath just now. Pretending to be unconscious, I really don't know how this situation will end."

"I haven't thanked Imperial Physician Lu for covering up this lie for me, and the crucian carp soup I made for you during the southern tour was not in vain."

Lu Zong's face became darker, and he said seriously: "Your Majesty, why do you have to be brave in front of me, a doctor? If you are restless, I will know when you feel the pulse."

There was a wry smile on her face.

"Mr. Lu's medical skills are superb, how can I hide it from you."

The people who once swore to each other and were deeply in love were clearly in the same palace, but it was as if they had never met each other.

How could she be indifferent.

No matter how many reasons she used to comfort herself, the emperor is the emperor after all, and it is normal for him to be unlucky.

Why is she an independent woman who can live well without being attached to a man.

She thought of many reasons to comfort herself, but when she was enjoying the cool shade among the plum blossoms alone, she still felt a little sad when she heard the whispers of the people from Yikun Palace.

"Tell me, why did our master fall out of favor? Didn't he be fine when he came back from the southern tour? The emperor also said that the master has the merit of saving him!"

"The master must have made a big mistake, and the emperor suddenly abandoned it."

"What kind of big mistake can make such a big deal? I don't think the master has any intention of asking the emperor to change his mind. Could it be a big mistake that he knows he can't make up for?"

"Can there be any irreparable big mistake, could it be that he stole someone to raise a man? Haha."

A few young eunuchs laughed and laughed, and Chen Wenxin stood in the small pavilion on the rockery, hiding his figure a little more in the darkness.

According to the strange way, 360 days a year, the wind, the sword, the frost and the sword are fierce.

She can stop the emperor's deliberate neglect, and the concubine's face-to-face sarcasm, but how can she stop the palace full of chatter?

Even the servants of her own Yikun Palace can make such vicious guesses, let alone those from other places?
She suddenly realized how dirty the palace was.

If the emperor had considered her more than half a point, he would not have condoned the disrespect of these slaves in private.

The emperor has eyeliner all over the palace, if he doesn't want to, no one can gossip.

Isn't he trying to force her to make her bow her head and admit her mistake first?
The second elder brother said that Huang Ama taught him that the head should not be touched randomly.

If you touch it, you will be shorter than that person.

In the past, when the emperor touched her head, she always felt that it was pampering and loving.

Ever since she heard what the second elder brother said, she suddenly felt extremely disgusted.

It turned out that the pampering enjoyed in the past was always unequal from the emperor, it was just favors.

Favor, the grace of the emperor, the favor of the emperor.

It was a reward, not an affection.

She pretended to faint today, not just to understand the temporary plight, but to win the emperor's mercy.

Just like that autumn hunt, the emperor misunderstood her and refused to take the initiative to ask her.

She was also baffled, not knowing why the emperor was angry.

Later, because of the food in her stomach, she was riding a bumpy horse. The emperor thought she was pregnant, so he was so frightened that he rushed to see her.

Fortunately, there is this opportunity, otherwise the emperor himself does not know how long he would be sulking.

It's the same now, the emperor's heart may be cold, but it's not that he has no feelings for her at all.

She took advantage of this illness to let the emperor save face and take the initiative to send her back to the palace.

This can be regarded as giving each other a step down, she doesn't need to take the initiative to seek peace, and the emperor doesn't need to test her patience anymore.

This is a step she has to take.

She never thought that she would pretend to be sick and invite pets, just like the concubines in the harem she despised.

In the past, she thought too much of herself and looked down on those concubines in the harem who tried their best to fight for power.

She herself is not the same now, so why was it for power and position.

It's just that she has been in the sea before, telling her how to endure the fact that the lover in front of her is not in love, and things are different.

What's more, there are endless open and dark swords in this harem, which makes her feel tired.

At this moment, she just wanted to escape from all this.

"I think your empress and father-in-law have seen the emperor now, right?"

Lu Zong could guess what Chen Xihai would say to the emperor.

Chen Wenxin asked him to tell the emperor that her illness was not suitable for raising in the palace, it was not for nothing.

"Doctor Lu, just pretend you don't know anything. Fortunately, what you just said is half-truth and half-false. Even if the emperor becomes suspicious, it won't hurt you."

She couldn't tell Lu Zong everything, even if Lu Zong had already guessed it.

Lu Zong asked anxiously: "What is your mother saying? I respect your mother's character, so I help you. How can you be a person who is afraid of things, afraid that your mother will hurt your minister?"

Just now Lu Zong pretended to be serious in front of the emperor, but he didn't change it for a while.

He cleared his throat, thought for a while, and said: "Besides, the emperor already despises his subjects enough."

Seeing Lu Zong's bitter face, Chen Wenxin couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Lu, last time I asked you to ask the emperor for the South Sea Pearl, did you apply it on your face?"

Lu Zong's eyes lit up, "It's been applied, how does the empress look? Is it whiter than before?"

If Jin Fu's dark face was exposed to the wind and sun, if he used South Sea pearls to grind it into powder and apply it to his face, it might be able to whiten quickly.

A naturally dark and red face like Lu Zong's has really little effect.

In order not to offend him, Chen Wenxin nodded solemnly and said, "I look pretty good, a little whiter than before."

Lu Zongle chuckled, "I'll go get the medicine for your empress first, hehe."

After Lu Zong left, Chen Wenxin went back to lie down on the embroidery bed.

She did feel a slight discomfort in her heart.

She doesn't care about Yu Changzai's aggressiveness, what makes her sad is that the emperor is helping Yu Chang to push her.

The emperor said, the second elder brother sat back in his seat.

The emperor said that in the future, such things as free use of icebergs will be avoided.

The emperor said, Concubine Qin, you are dissatisfied with my heart, so you don't laugh?

……

Yes, she was dissatisfied with him.

"Master, please rest for the rest of your life, and wait for Doctor Lu to deliver the medicine, and this servant will wake you up again."

Bai Lu was annoyed, what pretended to be sick, isn't this a real sickness?
Chen Wenxin smiled slightly, looking pale.

"Bai Lu, you will see your sister Ying'er soon, are you happy?"

Bai Lu nodded almost with tears in her eyes, "Happy, this servant is very happy, I'm going to fetch some hot water for the master to wipe his face."

If Chen Wen's heart is not sick, she must be happier.

She hurried out of the dormitory, only to see Mother Liu and Mother Deng waiting outside the hall.

Seeing Bai Lu, the two nuns hurriedly asked, "How is the master doing now?"

Bai Lu's eye circles were red, and she hesitated for a moment.

Then she frowned, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Master, she...the two nuns will come back later, master is not easy to meet people now."

She wiped the corners of her eyes as she spoke, and was about to fetch water with a copper basin in her hand.

Mother Deng hurriedly said: "Since it's so serious, go in and guard the master, I'll do these small things."

Aunt Deng took the copper basin in her hand, and took Aunt Liu to fetch hot water.

Bai Lu said softly: "Then there are two more nuns. I'll go and see the master."

She turned around and walked towards the inner room of the dormitory, and closed the door of the dormitory after the two nuns walked away.

In the dim light, a faint light flashed in her eyes.

She deliberately wept sadly in front of the two nuns because she suddenly thought of——
These two nuns were trusted by the emperor, and they were specially arranged by the emperor to help his master.

They are always the emperor's people.

In the past, the master trusted them because she had no quarrel with the emperor.

Now that times are changing, she has to be vigilant against these two nuns.

If these two nuns would tell the emperor about their master's situation, she'd better cry miserably.

She hurried into the inner room, squatted on the ground in front of Chen Wenxin's bed, and said softly: "Master, the two nuns will bring in hot water in a while. Master, just pretend to be unconscious. Everything is up to me."

Chen Wenxin understood the scruples in Bai Lu's words, "What's wrong with them just now?"

Bai Lu pursed her lips and shook her head, "It's just that I'm thinking carefully, master is in such a situation now, it's better to guard against some people."

In the Yikun Palace, Nanny Liu and Nanny Deng enjoyed the same treatment as the four big maids including Bai Lu, and the two little tables and rich children.

Even because they are older, Chen Wenxin has more respect for them.

That's because, in the past, Chen Wenxin and the emperor were indistinguishable from each other.

Now that we are separated from each other...

Then whose slaves they are, it is natural to distinguish clearly.
