Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 72 The Empress
"I have a bit of a headache today, so let's go away." Concubine Shu was thinking about how to get her words back, but the queen didn't intend to give her a chance. The concubine ordered.

The queen opened her mouth, and all the concubines got up one after another, and after saluting to the queen, they retreated outside the palace.

Concubine Shu knelt on the ground, seeing the crowd retreating to the outside of the hall, she quickly raised her head to look at the queen, "Your Majesty, please spare this concubine, Princess An really can't leave her concubine!"

"Concubine Shu, the empress is not feeling well, you should not cause trouble to the empress." Seeing Concubine Shu's appearance, Concubine Rong smiled and said, after talking to Concubine Shu, she looked at the empress above again .

"The empress is already working hard in managing the harem, but you must pay more attention to your health. I will resign." After speaking, Concubine Rong blessed her body, turned and walked out of the hall.

Looking at Concubine Rong's back, the queen stood up holding Yingluo's hand, without looking at Concubine Shu, she walked towards the back hall.

All the concubines in the Jiaotai Palace retreated, and only Concubine Shu and Lu Yi were left kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, get up quickly, the empress has already left, even if you kneel down, it will be useless."

Stretching out her hand to support her master, Luyi began to persuade her. She knew that her master was feeling uncomfortable, but looking at the empress's appearance, it was clear that she did not intend to change her mind.

Concubine Shu could hear Lu Yi's voice completely. At this moment, her forehead was red and swollen. She was kneeling on the ground numbly. When she thought that her daughter was about to leave her side, she could not stop crying.

"Your Majesty." Seeing that Concubine Shu was indifferent, Lu Yi continued to persuade, "There is still some time before autumn, Your Majesty will have to think of a way. If you really anger the Empress, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep Princess An now gone."

When Luyi said this, Concubine Shu finally had some reaction, yes, the reason why the queen asked Princess An to leave her side was because she annoyed the queen, and she couldn't annoy the queen anymore.

"Help me up." Thinking of this, Concubine Shu hurriedly spoke to Lu Yi, seeing that her master had finally figured it out, Lu Yi quickly reached out to help Concubine Shu up.

Because of kneeling for a long time, coupled with the red and swollen forehead, after Concubine Shu got up, she couldn't help but staggered a little. If it wasn't for Lu Yi's support, she might have fallen to the ground.

"Did you leave?" Changing into regular clothes, the queen sat on the soft couch, frowning slightly.

"Go back to empress, I've already left." Yingluo said in a respectful tone, looking at the empress's slightly frowning brows, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Empress, why don't you ask the imperial physician to come and see?"

When she got up early, the queen's complexion was not very good. Because she put on makeup, she looked more energetic. Now that she changed into regular clothes and removed the makeup, she suddenly became haggard.

"It's okay, you know about Ben Gong's body, it's nothing more than a relapse of an old problem, and it's fatal."

Waving her hands, the Queen's words carried a sense of weakness, "This concubine Shu is just stupid. I used to want to give her a hand. Looking at her like this today, she is just a piece of dead wood."

"Your Majesty is already uncomfortable, so don't bother because of Concubine Shu. This servant will help your Majesty to go in and rest for a while?"

After the queen finished speaking, Yingluo didn't answer, but spoke with concern, asking for the queen's opinion.

"That's fine, maybe it's good to have a good night's sleep. At this time, I can't fall down." Nodding, the queen stood up holding Yingluo's hand, and walked towards the inner room.

The Empress Dowager was about to return, and she thought she was not pleasing to the eye, because she was too weak to give birth to a son, if she collapsed at this time, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager would only hate her even more when she came back.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Empress is ill." In the Longgan Palace, Kang Ninghai walked in from outside the palace, seeing that Emperor Jing was reading the scriptures, he lowered his voice and replied.

"Have you invited an imperial physician?" Looking up at Kang Ninghai, Emperor Jing slightly frowned.

"Returning to the emperor, I heard that the servants originally wanted to invite the imperial physician, but were stopped by the empress. The servant also heard that when I paid my respects this morning, Concubine Shu was the last one to leave Qifeng Palace. When she came out, Concubine Shu's eyes are red and swollen, I don't know why."

"I see, you go to the imperial hospital, and ask the imperial physician who is taking the queen's pulse, to ask the queen for a safe pulse, and I will be there in a while."

After listening to Kang Ninghai, Emperor Jing gave an order, and then continued to look down at the scriptures.

"Yes." In response, Kang Ninghai retreated, and Emperor Jing only had the basic booklets at hand. After reading it, he stood up, ordered someone to prepare a dragon chariot, and headed for Qifeng Palace.

When they arrived at Qifeng Palace, the imperial physician was waiting in the outer room. Hearing that the queen had fallen asleep, Emperor Jing simply went into the inner room, sat on a chair and waited for the queen to wake up.

The queen's face was pale, and her long hair was scattered on the bed. She had lost the dignity of the queen, and she looked like an ordinary person at this moment.

Looking at such a queen, Emperor Jing couldn't help but think of when the two of them first got married, the queen's health was not good at that time, and she would get sick once every three days.

The two had known each other since they were very young. He knew that she was not in good health when he was very young. He didn't know until they got married that she would never have a child of her own.

But this was a marriage bestowed by the first emperor, and it was because of this marriage that he was able to be established as a prince and now become an emperor.

"The emperor is here?" The queen's voice came, pulling Emperor Jing back from his memories.

"Are you awake? I ordered someone to invite the imperial physician to take a good look at you." After speaking, Emperor Jing gave instructions to the outer room, and the imperial physician quickly came in to diagnose the queen's pulse.

The Queen's body is fine, but it's still an old problem from the past. It was brought out of her mother's womb, so it can never be cured, and can only be maintained by medicine.

After checking the pulse, the imperial physician opened a pharmacy for the queen, and Yingluo went to fetch the medicine herself, and decocted the medicine herself when she came back.

"I'm not feeling well, why didn't you send someone to invite the imperial physician?" After the imperial physician left, only the emperor and empress were left in the room, Emperor Jing stretched out his hands to trim the hair between the temples of the empress, and opened his mouth a little reproachfully.

"It's just an old problem. The concubine knew it in her heart, so she didn't go to the imperial doctor." The queen knew that although the emperor's tone was full of blame, he still cared about her.

For so many years, it is impossible for a couple to say that they have no feelings at all. After all, they have known each other since they were young. If you want to say that the queen's most regretful thing is that she cannot give birth to a son for Emperor Jing.

"Because it's an old problem, you need to pay more attention." Disagreeing, Emperor Jing originally wanted to say something, but seeing the empress's pale face, he didn't continue.

After listening to Emperor Jing's words, the queen responded with a smile, "Yes, I will remember this, and I will never dare to do this again in the future."
