"Concubine Xiao barely said anything. She just looked at Yu Qingluo quietly. However, when Concubine Wan talked about the young prince, her eyes were a little cruel."
"Quiet?" Concubine Meng smiled. It was quite abnormal for a person like Concubine Xiao to be so quiet.
Fei Ge stood beside her and felt a little confused when he saw that Concubine Meng just smiled and said nothing. After a long while, he took off the bracelet from his wrist, placed it respectfully on the table in front of Concubine Meng, and said in a low voice, "This is a gift from Yu Qingluo to this slave. I don't know what she means."
Concubine Meng narrowed her eyes and glanced at her, turning her palm up, and Jian Xiang immediately put the bracelet on her hand.
"This bracelet is a good thing, Fei Ge."
Cold sweat broke out on Fei Ge's forehead almost immediately, and he knelt down on the ground with a bang. He expressed his loyalty tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I am aware that I can't guess what Princess Tianfu is thinking. I really don't know that she gave her a jade bracelet." What does this slave mean, and I don’t know how valuable this bracelet is.”
Concubine Meng laughed and said, "Okay, get up. I didn't say anything. Why are you so nervous?"
Feige shook her body and stood up slowly. Yes, Concubine Meng didn't say anything, but she had been with Concubine Meng for so many years, and she knew her temperament very well, maybe 70-80%. Especially her suspicious character.
Although she handed over the bracelet openly, no one knew what Concubine Meng was thinking, whether she was already wary of her, or whether she no longer regarded her as one of her own.
"Okay, you can keep this bracelet. It's up to you to take it or not." Concubine Meng threw the bracelet into her hand, curled her lips and closed her eyes, letting Jian Xiang continue what she was doing. , gently pinched his sore shoulders.
Fei Ge didn't get her instructions. He couldn't stay or leave for a while, so he could only wait aside with his head hanging down.
At this moment, Yu Qingluo had followed Ke Ren to Concubine Shu's Shengping Palace.
Unlike Yixing Palace, which is luxurious and grand, Shengping Palace is smaller in area. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, a familiar strong medicinal smell hit his nose.
Yu Qingluo was used to the smell of medicine, so she didn't feel anything. But Aunt Xiao and Hongye behind them frowned without leaving any trace. How serious is this concubine Shu's condition? It actually made the whole palace full of flavor.
There were already maids waiting at the palace gate. When they saw them coming, a trace of joy flashed on their faces and they hurriedly came forward, "My slave, please give your regards to Princess Tianfu. Your Majesty has been looking forward to the princess."
Yu Qingluo smiled and stepped into the door.
Concubine Shu was sitting on the main seat, with a tired look on her face, as if she could not cheer up. When he heard the footsteps, he just raised his eyes softly.
However, those eyes lit up instantly when they touched Yu Qingluo's figure. She hurriedly straightened up and tried to get up from the chair, but she exerted too much force for a moment, and waves of dizziness hit her head. The irritated Concubine Shu's whole body was spinning, as if the sky was about to collapse.
In an instant, his body rushed forward uncontrollably.
Yu Qingluo hurriedly took two steps forward, held her arm dangerously, and said in a cold voice, "My dear, be careful."
Concubine Shu stood firm on her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she took a step back and said with a smile, "I didn't crush the princess. I'm so sorry. My body, eh..."
"I'm fine, please sit down first." Yu Qingluo helped Concubine Shu sit down again, then waved her hand and asked Keren to bring the chair over and put it behind her, and sat down. "Mother, let me feel your pulse."
"Thank you." Concubine Shu did not delay, stretched out her wrist and let her diagnose.
Yu Qingluo was especially serious when she was working, her mouth was tight and her expression was serious, but with such a quiet and demure look, she exuded a charm that could not be ignored, making people unable to miss her.
Even Concubine Shu felt warm in her heart when she looked at Yu Qingluo. I always felt that looking at her expression like this, no matter how much pain she suffered, it would not be a problem in her hands. She gave people a very reassuring feeling.
Yu Qingluo retracted her hand and lowered her head in silence.
Concubine Shu finally came back to her senses. Looking at her appearance, she couldn't help but ask, "What's so difficult about the princess? Is my illness very difficult?"
Yu Qingluo was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and stared at Concubine Shu's anxious eyes. He laughed suddenly, shook his head and said, "Can the empress stand aside?"
As soon as these words came out, no one in the room understood. Concubine Shu only glanced at her, but her personal maid had already waved her hand, led the others and retreated silently, and even closed the door considerately.
After the area was cleared, Yu Qingluo got a little closer and asked, "Can you tell me, when did you get sick?"
"..." There was a hint of caution, suspicion, and wariness in Concubine Shu's eyes. But seeing Yu Qingluo asking seriously and showing concern for her condition, after a long silence, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's all, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Yu Qingluo raised an eyebrow, why did it sound like there was a story in it
"In fact, more than ten years ago, I was too sharp. I broke my promise and contradicted the queen. Later, I was imprisoned in the cold palace by the emperor. The illness on my body was brought from that year. The environment in the cold palace was not very good, and I also lived in the cold palace. Many mentally abnormal concubines always find ways to torment others. That year, I was also... tortured."
Speaking of the past, Concubine Shu still looked a little lonely, especially when she talked about the suffering she had suffered, her mood swings became more obvious. The already weak hands hanging by her sides tightened suddenly, and her voice Wei Wei became cold and stern.
"Once, I was kicked many times on the chest by some mentally abnormal concubines, and I vomited blood at that time. Some concubine in the cold palace was sick, and how could she get proper care, let alone an imperial doctor. The disease suddenly became serious. , coupled with being splashed with cold water and suffering from the cold, I lay in bed for a long time before I could get off the ground. But since then, my chest has always hurt, and sometimes I feel that my heart is twitching, as if it could happen at any time. Maybe, maybe, stop being normal.”
Yu Qingluo sighed secretly in her heart, yes, royal concubines, if they were not of noble status, would be relegated to the cold palace or even given death. During this period, the treatment of being relegated to the cold palace was the most torturous. If you stay in that place for a long time, if you don't get tortured to death, you will go completely crazy.
When Concubine Shu said this, she couldn't help but cover her chest, and breathed twice slowly before continuing to speak.
