There were low voices coming from the bedroom, which could not be heard clearly, but most of them could be heard as the emperor comforting Xin Concubine. After a while, Xin Concubine's whimpering sounds were heard again.

Xinbi has woken up, but how can she feel better?

 On the contrary, the more I think about it, the more heartbroken I become.

Her body was already weak after giving birth, and due to the shock of falling into the water and the cold, she felt a little feverish. She cried for a while and then fell asleep in a daze.

The emperor sighed lowly, Xin Bin's behavior really made him worried and angry.

After a while, the emperor issued a decree, asking Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing to continue the review and not to abuse the criminal law. The prince and the third prince went to the west hall to wait, and the rest of the people dispersed.

There is another decree. Concubine Xin will be promoted to Concubine Xin from now on, and the ceremony will be held after she returns to Beijing.

Concubine Shu and others had actually expected that the emperor would definitely compensate Xin's concubine and most likely make her a concubine. However, when the imperial edict came down, they still felt a little uncomfortable.

Concubine Shu even felt a little regretful, wondering if she had done the right thing.

The emperor may have already suspected her, but there is no evidence, or he has not touched her due to some reasons such as the balance of the court and the harem. But since he has doubts in his heart, he will be tired of her, so why does he need any evidence?

This is what makes it even scarier, because he didn’t say anything and she couldn’t even explain it.

Not to mention that the look on his face was obviously wrong, but the fact that at this moment, he only left the crown prince and the third prince, but did not give the eldest prince any face, was evidence of this.

 The fourth prince is still young and has not yet participated in government affairs, but what about the eldest prince?

Concubine Shu glanced at Xie Yunshu and felt even more secretly hateful.

The eldest princess also felt bored and left with her head lowered. The third princess glanced at Xie Yunshu coolly and returned without saying a word.

 Xie Yunshu slowly returned to his residence.

 “Second sister-in-law!”

 “Crown Princess”

 The second princess and Meng Yuxiu came forward, both of them a little uneasy.

 Looking at the expressions of the two of them, they didn't look good either. It was obvious that they didn't have a good rest last night.

I think so. One of them is a princess with no power and no backing, and the other is a guest. They have no news since they came back yesterday, and they dare not ask around. They have no news at all about themselves and the prince, so they should not be frightened.

"It's okay," Xie Yunshu smiled and said to Meng Yuxiu: "Originally, I wanted to keep you as a guest and have fun for a few days, but now something has happened, I'm afraid it won't work. I'll send someone to take you back. How about we see another day?"

 Xie Yunshu felt somewhat sorry.

Meng Yuxiu smiled quickly and said: "The Crown Princess is too polite. It's the minister who is causing trouble. I wish it didn't cause any trouble to the Crown Princess."

 “Of course not.”

Xie Yunshu immediately handed Meng Yuxiu to Aunt You and asked her to make arrangements.

After Aunt You took the people away, the second princess hurriedly whispered to Xie Yunshu: "Second sister-in-law, Axiu stayed at Miss Fang's place yesterday, and I just went to invite her over this morning."

Even if the prince and Xie Yunshu did not come back last night, this courtyard is their residence. As an outsider and a girl, it would be inappropriate for Meng Yuxiu to spend the night here.

Hearing this, Xie Yunshu suddenly felt pity and said softly: "You are a thoughtful person and are careful in your work. This is good."

The second princess was very happy to be praised, and she smiled a little embarrassedly: "This is as it should be. Second sister-in-law treats me so well, I can't cause trouble to second sister-in-law." "How can we really be so careful!" Xie Yunshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. .

The two of them entered the room and sat down. They exchanged a few common words. Xie Yunshu sighed softly and told the second princess about the miscarriage of the concubine.

I'm afraid this matter hasn't spread yet, and no one dares to spread it randomly.

 Besides, the second princess doesn’t have many connections, and no one except herself will tell her this. Even if others know it, she may not know it.

But if you don’t know anything, wouldn’t it be troublesome if something goes wrong and something happens? So I still have to say it.

 The second princess exclaimed in low voice, her face turned pale.

"How, how could this happen? Empress Xinbi must be extremely sad."

Xie Yunshu sighed softly: "Empress Xinbi didn't know she was pregnant. She was frightened when she fell into the water, and the lake was cold, so she suffered such a misfortune. Empress Xinbi - now she is Empress Xin, she is heartbroken now, and my father is also in a bad mood. It's extremely bad. Second sister, if you can, don't go out for the next two days. Just stay in this courtyard peacefully. Just tell me what you need."

After thinking about it, she added: "Even if someone asks Second Sister out for something, no matter who it is, Second Sister must tell me first."

"Yes!" The second princess nodded quickly: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."

Who dares to go out and wander around at this time? It's easy to get into trouble.

Maybe there is nothing to do, maybe my father will be furious if he sees anyone with a smile on their face right now.

She has been neglected in the palace since she was a child, but she understands the warmth and warmth of human relationships better than anyone else.

It is rare for the second sister-in-law to treat her like this, and she will cherish it.

The second princess stood up and said with a soft smile: "Second sister-in-law must be tired too. Please rest quickly. I'm going back to my room. If second sister-in-law is bored, come talk to me again."

Xie Yunshu felt warm in her heart, nodded slightly and smiled: "Well, you go first."

Although she and the Crown Prince received special treatment from the Emperor last night and were able to rest in the side hall for half the night, they still could not completely relax and rest, and there was no bed, which was better than Concubine Shu and the First Prince. Strength is also limited.

Now that I have returned to my own territory, my tense spirit has relaxed, and I am really a little tired.

As soon as the second princess left, Xie Yunshu didn't even have the energy to eat breakfast. She only drank a few mouthfuls of bird's nest soup and told Aunt You and An Tong to keep an eye on Concubine Shu, Concubine Xin and others in case anything happened. He quickly woke himself up and went back to the bedroom to catch up on his sleep.

Xie Yunshu only knew that she fell asleep soon. She didn't know how long she had been sleeping, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the prince sitting on the edge of the bed.

She was so frightened that her eyes widened and she was about to turn over and sit up -

 “Prince!”

"Lie down, did I wake you up?" The prince held her down and chuckled: "I came back to change my clothes and take a look at you. I didn't expect to wake you up. Nothing happened over there, don't worry."

Xie Yunshu felt relieved and said, "I have been sleeping for a long time, and I should have woken up. Does the prince still want to go out?"

The prince nodded: "Today, the capital sent a lot of memorials. My father is not in the mood to take care of them at the moment, so he asked me and my third brother to handle them as appropriate."

Handling things as appropriate means don’t bother him if it’s not a big deal!

Xie Yunshu said "hmm" and thought that the emperor was interested in Concubine Xin, but that was all he could do. Even if he had doubts, he could not stir up trouble in the harem at all costs.
