Chapter 384: Malingering

"It's okay to ask for your condolences. I just can't bear to see you feeling so sick." Qi Yixiu said while holding her hand.

"It's okay, but I wonder if the two princes are okay? I haven't heard much news here. I think the eighth prince's injury is much better, right?" Shen Chuliu poured tea for Qi Yixiu.

Qi Yixiu paused and nodded: "It's much better."

Shen Chuliu stopped asking, okay, the emperor is like this, it seems that the eighth prince has a big problem.

Seeing that she stopped asking, Qi Yixiu didn't want to talk about it, so he dropped the topic.

At noon, the sixth prince ran back to have dinner. It was a hot day and Shen Chuliu was not allowed to run, but he kept making trouble.

I just got used to running, and my health is getting better.

"Father, father!" When he saw Qi Yixiu, he jumped up and down happily. After jumping up and down, he thought of asking for greetings, so he sent greetings to his parents again.

Qi Yixiu patted his head: "Has Yan'er grown taller?"

"I look at it every day, but I can't tell. Maybe it's because he has grown a little. He eats a lot, sleeps well, and has no worries, so he has grown naturally." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.

"Although Yan'er is noisy, she is also smart. Their husband will tell me about it every few days. Yan'er has learned a lot now." Qi Yixiu praised with a smile.

Looking at those two sick children, and then looking at this, the more I look at it, the more I feel emotional.

Qi Yixiu really didn't know what to say. Originally, the eight and nine princes were healthy and good children, but now they were in such trouble.

Although the tenth prince was born prematurely, it was okay, but he was not as healthy as other children.

It’s really…

The Sixth Prince was chirping, talking about things he thought were interesting, and laughing from time to time.

Qi Yixiu also cooperated with him and chatted with him for a while, and then the meal was served.

Qi Yixiu hasn't had a meal with this child for a long time. It seems that he did eat a lot.

The emperor obviously did not intend to leave this afternoon.

I chatted with Shen Chuliu, and naturally stayed overnight in the evening.

The emperor was also very irritable because of the princes' affairs during this period, so he didn't turn his cards at all.

Before the three beauties who entered the palace could shine, they were successively disturbed by the affairs of the Feng family and the princes.

Unexpectedly, after such a long time, the emperor turned over the brand and turned out to be Jing Zhaoyi.

Everyone had to sigh, Empress Jing Zhaoyi was so favored.

Qi Yixiu had not eaten meat for a long time, so he would not let Shen Chuliu go. Shen Chuliu had no strength at all.

The strange thing is that after all the hard work, neither of them felt sleepy.

Qi Yixiu hugged Shen Chuliu for a while and said, "My beloved concubine is sick at these times, so it's okay."

"The emperor is too ruthless, isn't he? My concubine is ill and takes medicine every day, but she feels better?" Shen Chuliu was speechless.

"That's not what I meant." Qi Yixiu rubbed her shoulders.

"The Eighth Prince... I'm afraid something is wrong. He was originally a smart kid, but now he doesn't react when called. He can't walk well anymore."

Shen Chuliu thought to himself, the emperor is very upset and wants to talk about it

"Is there nothing the imperial doctor can do?"

"The imperial doctor tried his best, but even the miracle doctor, not to mention the imperial doctor, dare not say that the matter in his head will be cured. I have already sent people to look for private miracle doctors." Qi Yixiu sighed.

"I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. I don't understand the eighth prince's illness and don't dare to talk nonsense. But the emperor must take care of himself. You have so many princes and princesses, and they are all counting on you. "

"My dear concubine, it's noisy here, but I feel at ease." Qi Yixiu didn't answer.

"Would it be inappropriate for my concubine to take advantage of the situation and say that the emperor comes here often?" Shen Chuliu smiled.

"Of course I will come often. I have neglected my beloved concubine these days." Qi Yixiu hugged her tightly. Shen Chuliu smiled and leaned into his arms, saying nothing, only pretending to be happy.

Of course she would be happy when the emperor came.

Don't say anything about feelings, they are just partners. After a long time, there will be some feelings, but this is not love and family affection.

The more emperors come, the more benefits she will get from here. This is a good thing.

Qi Yixiu talked a lot with her, and although most of it was just gossip, it could also be seen that the emperor was trying to relieve his inner worries.

Shen Chuliu listened, but his mind wandered to nowhere.

She thought, the emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years.

It's cold at high places. Even though the emperor is still young, he has a common problem, that is, he is suspicious.

Qi Yixiu is naturally the same. Even though he smiles a lot every day, is he really happy

Of course he was a good emperor, no matter what political achievements he made, but at least he was not stupid or cruel.

In the past ten years, the Yi Dynasty has not become worse. It is even much better than the ten years in the late years of the late emperor.

In the court, he had cut off almost all the old officials, and replaced them with people he favored, promoted, and were loyal to him.

In fact, no one in the harem can really fight against the emperor.

There are many things that he just doesn't want to care about or investigate. No one can really control him.

Therefore, he sometimes feels very depressed, such as now.

After Qi Yixiu felt sleepy, he stopped talking and just hugged Shen Chuliu and closed his eyes.

And Shen Chuliu just lay there quietly and gradually fell asleep.

In her dream, she somehow dreamed that she was in a dormitory, admiring plum blossoms or begonias.

Anyway, there were so many fallen flowers, she just thought that the prince would be here soon.

When she woke up, she even smiled. She had never lived in the emperor's dormitory, and naturally she had never seen the emperor when he was a prince.

This is purely based on my own imagination.

"When did the emperor leave?" Shen Chuliu asked.

She looked at the time and saw that it was still early.

"The emperor has just left, not even a quarter of an hour ago. He said that if you can't get up, you should sleep more." Chi Su said.

"Well, let's pass on the food. It's just in time. I'll go to Fengzao Palace to say hello later. Wen Chongrong has already started to say hello, so there's no point in hiding any longer." Shen Chuliu said.

Everyone agreed and hurriedly served her to wash up, change clothes and eat.

When Shen Chuliu arrived at Fengzao Palace, it was not too early, most people had come, but it was not the latest.

There are a few more behind.

Concubine Qianshu was ill and frightened before, so this time she was more seriously ill and had not recovered yet.

Yi Chongyuan has been in bad health for a long time. She usually suffers from three disasters and two illnesses. This time she was frightened and couldn't get up for a while.

Wen Chongrong also lost weight, while Zhen Chongyi looked slightly better, but also lacked energy.

Everyone bowed to each other and sat down. Concubine Qian looked at Shen Chuliu up and down and said, "Jing Zhaoyi's illness seems to have been cured a long time ago? He insists on not coming at such a time. The emperor went up yesterday, and today Just coming?"

This means that she is pretending to be sick to gain favor.
