The concubine didn't care about Wu Sheyue's attitude. She took out a light yellow square cloth bag from her sleeve, stuffed it directly into Wu Sheyue's hand and said, "Take this."
The small cloth bag looks like a sachet that is slightly larger than your hand. It is boxy like a small pillow, and the front is finely embroidered with a coiled dragon pattern, which is delicate yet grand.
"What does the empress mean..." Wu Sheyue asked. Due to professional problems, she couldn't help but take a closer look at the acupuncture method. Every stitch is done neatly and carefully, and even she can't find any faults.
"I just packed some medicine to soothe the mind, which is more effective than soothing incense." The concubine shook her head and sighed, "Please put it next to Yu Jing for me. Don't say I gave it to him, he will be angry. .”
However, the concubine's behavior clearly revealed that they had a feud. Wu Sheyue held the sachet and said suspiciously: "It seems that the empress and the young prince actually have some grudge, or at least there must be some misunderstanding. "
"Grudges... so be it." The concubine gave a forced smile, and then fell into memories, "The prince has only had two women, sister Chenxing and me. Sister Chenxing died of illness at such a young age, and the prince also soon passed away. Gone... No matter what others do, they can't be as good as my biological mother. I am the only one in this house, so it is normal for him to regard me as the object of resentment. "
Wu Sheyue said with a pun: "It seems that the empress has worked hard these years."
The concubine glanced at her sideways, seeming to understand the meaning of her words, and said with an explanation: "I just want to ease the relationship with Yu Jing. A Ren has no room to fight with him, this Yu Wang's Mansion is completely his What’s in the bag. In the days to come, I, the concubine, will just become someone else’s helper. What’s more, Ren will also have to rely on the care of the future king. "
"Even if the empress gave it herself, the young prince would not be so disrespectful." Wu Sheyue handed the sachet back with both hands. She didn't really want to help.
They were strangers to each other, and it would be too blunt to inspire sympathy when they first met. Even if what she said was true, it was someone else's business and she was just a false lover. Although it's a bit paranoid to think of others like this, this is someone else's home, so it's always better to be cautious.
The concubine did not take it, but stared at Wu Sheyue and asked: "So, the third lady is not willing to do this small favor for me?"
Wu Sheyue raised her hands and said persistently but respectfully: "I just hope that the queen's feelings can be conveyed, otherwise it would be so silent, which is really wronging the queen. Besides... the queen didn't say that she wanted to ease the relationship with the young prince. Does it matter? If he doesn't know about this, how can he ease it?"
The concubine's expression did not change when she looked at her, but Wu Sheyue could feel that she was a little angry.
"I heard that Princess Xin Yue was beaten by the prince because of you."
"?" Wu Sheyue was stunned. Do their family members have a habit of suddenly changing topics
The concubine shook her head and sneered, "I also heard that even Wu Liuyun is not as powerful as you now, and you are famous in Longfu. The mistress of the Royal Palace has not come forward very much in the past few years. These things I It's just hearsay. But today it seems... it's really true." When she spoke like this, people couldn't tell for a moment whether she was praising or damaging.
"Why did the empress suddenly say this?" Whenever the comparison between her and Wu Liuyun was mentioned, Wu Sheyue had an inexplicable bad feeling.
The concubine's tone was melancholy, "I just lamented that everyone in the world has a bright future, but I, the unpopular concubine, really have a worse life day by day. It won't take long, and maybe Yu Jing won't have to endure our mother and son anymore. "
Wu Sheyue's brows knitted together. This woman seemed to be easy to talk to from the beginning, but she was not easy to talk to at all! After praising her enough, she was slapped with hats one after another. Xin Yue and Wu Liuyun also asked her to take it out and talk about it again, and lamented that their situation was over. Could it be that he was implying that he didn't take serious nobles seriously because he was a commoner
The concubine wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves in frustration, but still didn't pick up anything. Wu Sheyue put down her hand and said, "Then I will take it in for the empress. If the young prince interrogates me..."
"Then it's up to you, and I won't make it difficult for you." The concubine nodded gratefully to her.

As soon as Wu Sheyue entered the room carrying the sachet, Zhuer pointed at her and exclaimed: "Miss Third... your face..."
Wu Sheyue suddenly remembered, covered her face with her hands and shouted, "Ah? I forgot about it!" It hurts so much!
"How can I forget this injury? Let me take a look." Zhuer quickly pulled Wu Sheyue to sit at the table, and poured out all the trauma medicine sent to Yu Jing from the palace. Anyway, Ayan only had one injury, so he didn't need so many precious medicinal materials.
"Miss Third, how did you do this?" Zhuer asked angrily. It was too much to slap the girl in the face.
Wu Sheyue shouted incoherently: "Hey, Ayan."
"Miss Third?" Ayan sat up from the bed with difficulty.
"What is the relationship between Yu Jing and the concubine?"
"The concubine did this?" Zhuer suddenly blurted out, her eyebrows furrowed tightly and her hand movements stopped.
"That's not..."
Ayan said: "My subordinates don't know this is too detailed. Did the concubine just come to see you? What did she do to you?"
The reaction of the two people was too nervous. Wu Sheyue raised the thing in his hand and shook it, "It's nothing, she just asked me to give this to Yu Jing, and she also said not to mention that she gave it to me - hey! "
Before she finished speaking, Pearl snatched the sachet over, picked up the scissors on the table and poked it in with a click.
Wu Sheyue was stunned when she saw Zhuer neatly taking out all the medicinal ingredients inside, and then rummaging back and forth carefully. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It contains soothing herbs, which are specialties from the south. They are not poisonous."
"You... do you treat her like this on weekdays?" Wu Sheyue blinked, something that was so painstakingly made was cut off at the drop of a hat? Do they really not even try to save face? !
"...Yes." Zhu'er and Ayan looked at each other, feeling suddenly embarrassed.
"No, it's okay. Everyone is just as weird anyway." Wu Sheyue waved her hand. Anyway, this is someone else's business. Who can judge what the inside story is.
Zhuer was a little helpless, holding the two skins of the sachet, and explained nervously, "Miss Third, the concubine may just want to take this opportunity to show you that she is a good person."
"Then what? Will I help her?" Wu Sheyue looked up at Zhu'er with confusion and helplessness in her eyes.
Zhu'er was stunned for a while, as if she couldn't imagine what conspiracy the concubine might have, so she just said: "Yeah, it's nothing... Just be careful at all times." (To be continued)
