Xie Run sighed, "Dan Tao, there's a hundred-year-old ginseng in the storeroom. Go get it, then go to Fengyi Palace and check on the Empress' health on my behalf."
Dan Tao suddenly heard the news that the queen's time was running out, and she felt sympathetic. "I will go right away."
After Dan Tao left, Xie Run walked back and forth in the main hall, holding his waist.
Not long after, Dan Tao came back and shook her head solemnly at Xie Run.
"The ginseng has been delivered, but no one is allowed to enter Fengyi Palace now. It seems that the Empress... is really in trouble."
Xie Run sighed, "Empress Dowager...why did you have to make a fuss at this very moment?"
Sometimes, stupidity is vicious.
To put it bluntly, it was just that the Queen Mother didn't take the Queen's life seriously.
But the Queen Mother is of noble status, and no one can say anything.
In Fengyi Palace, the Queen Mother also looked unhappy.
She held the emperor's hand and complained, "Emperor, I didn't know she was so seriously ill."
"I just made her stand there and listen to a few lectures. I didn't hit her or scold her, but she ended up like this."
"I have no intention of harming her. It's her own body that's not doing well..."
The Emperor glanced at the Queen Mother coldly, "Mother, are you satisfied now that you've vented your anger today?"
The Queen Mother choked suddenly.
The Emperor continued, "Of course, the Queen Mother is not at fault. It's just that the servants around her are so stupid that they can't even tell that the Queen is unwell. How can such tactless people be worthy of serving the Queen Mother?"
"Come here, send away all the people serving in the Cining Palace today."
As he spoke, he glanced at Shi'an again and said, "Go and pick out some suitable people for my mother. I must not let her suffer any grievances again."
The Queen Mother angrily said, "Emperor, you have sent away everyone around me. Do you want me to be alone or imprisoned?"
Emperor: "My son dare not."
"I do love my mother, but I am heartbroken that she has misunderstood me like this."
When the emperor said the word "heart-breaking", his eyes looked at the empress dowager even colder.
The Queen Mother was suddenly frightened and dared not say anything.
After Xie Jiang finished feeding the queen the medicine, he came out and then he bowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Empress's body is already at the end of its strength. I can only use drastic measures to prolong her life."
"No matter how much more there is, there is nothing I can do..."
The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his face as sullen as water. "How long can the queen hold on?"
Xie Jing thought for a moment, "If I don't get hurt and take good care of myself, I still have another month or so."
The emperor immediately issued an order, "Pass on my order. The harem will be temporarily managed by Consort Zhao, Consort Jingshu, and Consort Wen. No one is allowed to disturb the Empress. Without my order, no one is allowed to set foot in Fengyi Palace."
Eunuch Shi'an: "I obey your command!"
The next day, the news that the queen was about to die spread throughout the six palaces.
The harem, which had finally calmed down, was quietly filled with a lot of floating thoughts.
In Fanghua Palace, Bai Baolin took off the jewelry on her head and slowly combed her hair with a wooden comb.
"The Queen's time is running out, and I don't know who will have the chance to take that position in the future."
Caiyue was surprised and said, "The Queen is still here, why did the Master bring up this matter..."
Caiyue seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Such words were so bold that she couldn't believe they came from her own master's mouth.
I don’t know when it started, but Caiyue found it increasingly difficult to understand her master.
Bai Fu smiled faintly: "It's just a casual mention. Even if I don't mention it, won't others think about it?"
"Do you think any of them are really worried about the Queen?"
Caiyue didn't dare to speak and did her work in silence.
Bai Fu: "If she has ambitions for the throne, it would be fine if she did something inappropriate."
Bai Fu knew that she was in a low position and had no connections or means in the palace, so she did not dare to take any action.
She knew her path was not easy.
Since she couldn't climb up, she could only hope that the person above would fall down and make way for her so that she could climb up.
Caiyue didn't quite hear it, and asked in confusion, "Who?"
Bai Fu's face was dull: "Just do your job well."
Bai Fu was thinking about what to do next when she suddenly saw Concubine Xue walking outside with a palace maid.
The palace maid walking beside her was holding an unlit lantern in her hand.
Caiyue asked curiously, "It's still light out, where is Consort Xue going with this lantern?"
Bai Fu: "I don't know how she got close to Xi Chongyuan recently. I'm afraid she went to Yongning Palace to visit Xi Chongyuan."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Fu suddenly smiled, her voice much softer: "Or maybe he went to see the new Talented Sun."
Two days ago, two new people entered the palace quietly.
One was a girl from the Duke of Yingguo's mansion, the cousin of Concubine Jingshu, and was canonized as Sun Cairen.
The other was the granddaughter of Taifu Ning, who was canonized as Ning Baolin.
Because there were so many things going on in the palace, the two of them didn't even make a splash when they entered the palace.
In order to save trouble, the queen directly arranged Concubine Sun in Yongning Palace, saying that sisters of the same family could take care of each other better if they were in the same palace.
Concubine Jingshu was also a little angry about this.
She clearly didn't want to see Concubine Sun, yet she still arranged Concubine Sun to live in her palace. Was she doing it on purpose to disgust her?
From the first day Concubine Sun entered the palace, Concubine Jing Shu had been tormenting her.
It's like telling the entire harem that I'm not on good terms with Concubine Sun.
Xue Cairen is going to Yongning Palace now, and she will probably see a lot of good shows.
Caiyue frowned and said, "The Queen is not feeling well, and everyone is hunched over waiting for news. How dare she run around so boldly?"
"Empress Jingshu is not a good-tempered person either. She beat Ming Baolin last time and he still can't get out of bed. If she gets into trouble, she might be the next Ming Baolin."
Bai Fu's eyes were calm. "I actually hope they make a scene. The bigger and more chaotic the better."
"When the Emperor becomes disgusted by their antics, that will be my day to shine."
For Yu Baifu, the news that the queen's time is running out is really good news.
When the situation is calm, she has no chance to make a name for herself.
Once the palace is in chaos, who can still sit back and relax?
Do noble concubines like the Imperial Concubine, the Shu Concubine, and the Wen Concubine really want to be concubines for their entire lives?
Bai Fu said thoughtfully, "If something happens to the Empress, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to sleep with her for a whole year."
"After a year, the ministers will urge the establishment of a queen, and more noble ladies will want to enter the palace."
"I wonder if the Emperor still remembers us..."
Caiyue finally felt a little anxious, and said with a worried look on her face: "Master, if I can't sleep with you for a year, what will you do in the future?!"
The emperor did not say that he had any particular preference for his master. He only asked him to be served once and then forgot about him.
There are so many new and old concubines in the harem. If Bai Baolin cannot serve the emperor in bed for a year, his days will be over.
Bai Fu smiled and said, "Why should we be anxious? There are naturally many people who are anxious."
