When people think too much, it always causes some physical changes.

Yao Jinse felt a little headache when she went to bed last night, but she didn't take it seriously at the time. However, after getting up the next day, she found that her brain seemed to be split. She felt so uncomfortable for a while that she couldn't even speak.

Bai Tan has always been perceptive and immediately discovered that Yao Jinse was different from usual. He tried to test her and felt that his mistress was too hot, so he quickly asked the people outside to report to Kunning Palace.

After all, Yao Jinse today is no longer the same as yesterday. She has been given the power to assist in managing the six palaces by the emperor's solemn words. Even if it is just a pendant, she is fundamentally different from the unfavored and powerless concubine in the past.

Yao Jinse was able to have this opportunity because of the emperor's favor, but this happened on the first day. If she was not careful, she would be easily attacked for disrespecting the queen. The young lady has always been a cautious person, and Bai Tan has learned a lot from her by watching and hearing about her.

Let Bai Tao take care of the young lady, and Bai Tan quickly made arrangements in the palace and arranged for people to go to the Queen's Palace. As long as the Queen nodded, they would immediately send people to the Imperial Hospital to call the imperial physician. Fortunately, the young lady's fever was not very serious, otherwise it would be very difficult to wait for the imperial physician at this time.

If you are the mistress of a palace, there will not be such trouble. For concubines above the rank of concubine, if they have a headache or fever, it is not difficult to invite an imperial physician. There will even be an imperial physician who comes to check your pulse every day. However, this treatment is only for favored concubines or high-ranking concubines.

Given Yao Jinse's current status and position without even a title, she obviously does not deserve this treatment.

Fortunately, Shen Qingyin did not make things too difficult. After understanding the situation, she quickly sent someone to call the imperial physician. Pretending to be sick might be something that the imperial concubine could do in the harem, but it was almost impossible for others to evade their due responsibilities in this way.

The imperial physicians are not fools, and Yao Jinse does not have the halo of the heroine. When a patient is sick, at least two imperial physicians are needed to make a joint diagnosis. Even if the concubines are familiar with an imperial physician, it is not easy for them to do anything about such matters.

What's more, there are female doctors in the palace who specialize in treating concubines for diseases like headaches and fevers. If she wants to pretend to be sick in public, she must either have connections that allow everyone to hide the truth for her, or she must be really sick.

Fortunately, Yao Jinse's illness was not serious. Although it was a cold, there were different levels of severity. The imperial doctors could only conclude that the fever was caused by catching a cold, and at the same time put most of the blame on Yao Jinse's weak body after giving birth.

For a concubine with a weak body, it seems too harsh to ask her to assist in managing the six palaces.

However, the queen did not take any action.

Shen Qingyin herself was also a little concerned about this matter.

After paying their respects in the morning, all the concubines returned to the palace to have their meals. As the queen, Shen Qingyin was no exception.

The Emperor will not come to have breakfast with the Empress today. Shen Qingyin has long been accustomed to the fact that the Emperor does not come to her palace. As long as Concubine Rong is in the harem, others will have one less day of favor.

She didn't mind.

If the emperor didn't come, she would feel more at ease and not be bound by those rules.

While eating, Chunju listened to the palace maid beside her report on Yao Jinse's physical condition. Seeing that the Queen's expression did not change after listening, she waved her hand to signal the little palace maid to go out.

She picked up the bowl of porridge in front of the Queen, added a bowl of porridge for the Queen, and said softly: "The Queen has been tired these past two days. This yam and lily porridge was specially presented by the Imperial Kitchen. It is said to be mild and nourishing to the stomach. The Queen doesn't eat much on weekdays, and the imperial physician also said that the Queen should eat something to nourish the stomach to replenish her body."

She eats less because there are many things to do. There are so many things in the harem, and the queen has to worry about everything big and small. Even an iron man can't stand it.

But even if I want to find someone to help, I can't find anyone under the imperial concubine?
Shen Qingyin understood this. She glanced at Chunju, picked up the porridge and took a sip. It melted in her mouth.

"If you have anything to say, don't keep it in your heart. Tell me what you want to say."

The voice was calm, so of course he was not angry.

Chunju and Shen Qingyin have known each other for many years and grew up together. Naturally, they know their master's temperament, so they said frankly: "If your majesty feels that it is inappropriate for Concubine Yao to assist in managing the six palaces, you can appeal to the emperor. Concubine Yao is not feeling well now. I am afraid that she will need a long time to recover from the cold and recuperation. At this critical moment, she should not be too tired."

It sounds like Yao Jinse is considering it.

"Without Yao Jieyu, is there no one else? The emperor is clearly using Yao Jieyu to appease the imperial concubine. As the Empress of the Central Palace, I can naturally tolerate Yao Jieyu, not to mention that Yao Jieyu's position is not high, and she can't handle any major matters. Let's keep her for now. She is not the one who needs to be vigilant in the harem."

Shen Qingyin didn't want to think about these things.

After being married to the emperor for so many years, the relationship between the two is more like family than husband and wife, but even so, the queen always wants to have another child. Aunt Hua usually talks a lot, but she can only talk because Shen Qingyin wants to hear it. Having a legitimate son is a very important matter for the queens of all dynasties, but she usually portrays herself as a virtuous queen. Now she can't act like a spoiled child with the emperor and desire something.

After all, the emperor doesn't care about these things.

So what if there is no legitimate son?

The emperor himself is not of an orthodox birth, and the current empress dowager was never an empress. For an emperor who does not value birth, the legitimate son may have more advantages in terms of status and righteousness, but the advantage will instead make the emperor suspicious.

These things can only take their course.

Xie Yun'an could still come to accompany her on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. The empress had been regulating her menstrual period for many years so that she could be more energetic when the emperor came and see if she could have another child. Apart from that, any additional demands would arouse the emperor's vigilance.

Shen Qingyin knew too well how suspicious the person next to her was.

"The emperor is in his prime, only in his thirties. Women age quickly and are old at thirty, but the emperor is in his prime. There will be more and more children and concubines in the palace in the future. If you can prevent one, there will always be another. Why bother so much?"

Chunju didn't say anything.

Since the queen has thought it through, there is no need to add any more unnecessary details. Instead of thinking too much, it is better to just have a decent meal now.

As she thought this, her hands moved quickly and she picked up some of the Queen's favorite side dishes and placed them on the plate in front of her.

After all, they have been together for a long time. Chunju may not understand what Shen Qingyin did, but as long as she does it, it will always make Shen Qingyin feel more comfortable.

At this time, the imperial physician who received the Queen's order finally arrived at Yuxiu Palace.

Recently, everyone in the palace felt that something was not quite right with Yuxiu Palace. At least there was some unspeakable evil in it. Otherwise, how could a concubine be captured so easily?
Or as for the matter of witchcraft, you know, for the palace maids and eunuchs, these things were originally a shot of adrenaline in their dull lives. After dinner, when they had nothing to do, they naturally liked to talk a lot and add a few words. As a result, before the matter of Yao Jinse's cold was concluded, news of murder had already spread in the palace.

We just lost a Concubine Yi yesterday, are we going to lose another Concubine Jieyi today?

In the harem, if we were to say who is better between Concubine Yao and Concubine Yi, then in the eyes of these ordinary palace people, Yao Jinse is definitely better.

It is a rare thing in the harem to have a lady who can sympathize with them and even show them some grace from time to time.

Fortunately, the news that Yao Jinse had just caught a cold soon spread again in the harem. Perhaps for the palace maids and eunuchs like them, sometimes a cold could ruin a person's character, but for the nobles, the cold was not that serious after all.

Yao Jinse knows it herself.

She knew her body better than anyone else, and naturally she knew that the reason why the disease came so suddenly was entirely because of herself. She had not slept well during this period. Although she could not say that she was exhausted, she did put in a lot of thought after all.

Although the hard work paid off, I didn't get enough rest during this period, which led to physical deficiencies. Coupled with the loss from giving birth to the child, these things combined together constituted the cause of this illness.

"My lady, you can't walk yet. The doctor said you have to take good care of yourself."

After all, winter is about to come, and the weather is not that hot at this time. If they catch a cold again, their illness will be worsened, and they, the servants, cannot afford to be blamed.

Bai Tan's personality has always been that she likes to give advice to Yao Jinse. Moreover, the imperial concubine is considerate of her young master's health and does not ask Yao Jinse to go over. As a servant of her master, she has to take good care of her young master's health.

"It's just a walk around the house. It's nothing serious. Maybe it can make you sweat."

Yao Jinse did not really approve of the habit of lying in bed all day long to recuperate in the harem. If illness could be recovered by lying in bed, then the concubines in their palace would be the healthiest people in the world. However, the women and children in the palace had the hardest life. Any minor illness or disaster could easily cost them their lives.

It can be seen that good health is more important than anything else.

She wasn't running around, she was just walking around the house. Proper exercise would help to restore physical strength, wouldn't it? (End of this chapter)
