Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 129

When Concubine Chu woke up, it was already dawn, and Xuanyuanqi was not there, he had already left.

The soreness and marks on her body told her that everything last night was not a dream, she was defiled by Xuanyuanqi.

Lying on the bed, staring blankly at the veil on the top of the bed, Concubine Chu Gui wanted to cry, but couldn't cry at all.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the outer room, and Zi Zhu and Zi Xiao rushed into the inner room and knelt down in front of the bed. Until now, they were only able to move.

"You two, go and prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath." Concubine Chu's voice was hoarse as she ordered. She was gagged last night and couldn't make a sound at all. She was so stimulated that she had throat problems.

After getting the order, Zi Xiao hurriedly went to give the order, but Zi Zhu still knelt in front of the bed, for fear that Concubine Chu Gui would be overwhelmed.

"Zizhu, go and get some food for me, don't worry, I won't let it go, it's just...it's just being..."

Concubine Chu Gui couldn't say what happened next, she was crying and her heart was ashamed.

Zixiao came back soon, and Zizhu got up to prepare food for Concubine Chu.

When the hot water was ready, Concubine Chu pushed back Zizhu and Zixiao, and went into the bathtub by herself. She rubbed against her body with a brush, as if this was the only way to wash herself clean.

Zizhu and Zixiao stood guard outside, and for a long time they couldn't hear a sound. They looked at each other and came in from outside the hall.

Concubine Chu Gui was soaking in the bathtub, the water in it was already cold, just like her heart.

"Your Majesty, get up quickly, what if you are sick?" Zi Zhu cried and helped Concubine Chu up, Zi Xiao stepped forward to help, her eyes were also red.

Helping Concubine Chu dry her body and put on clean clothes, everything on the bed was cleaned up and replaced with new ones. Concubine Chu lay on the bed without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, my servant has prepared bird's nest for you, would you like to eat some?" Zi Zhu came to the bed with the bird's nest in hand, persuading Concubine Chu Gui.

With a low reply, Concubine Chu Gui leaned on the bed and let Zizhu feed the bird's nest to herself.

"I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while, don't bother me." After eating, Concubine Chu gave orders and closed her eyes.

Zizhu responded, and gave the empty bowl to Zixiao, and retreated to the entrance of the inner room, quietly staring at Concubine Chu Gui.

After following Concubine Chu Gui for many years, she has never seen her master like this.

If the master cries and makes trouble, she can feel at ease, but unfortunately, the master does not cry or make trouble, and the calmness makes people afraid.

…………

"Master, Concubine Chu Gui has fallen ill." Hong Xiu walked in from outside the hall, and put the freshly washed fruit on the small table beside the soft couch.

Thinking of the news she just received, Hongxiu opened her mouth and said back to Su Qingning.

"Sick? Didn't you feel well yesterday? Why did you suddenly get sick?" Yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival. When Su Qingning took her seat, Concubine Chu had already arrived. She remembered that she had glanced at Concubine Chu at that time, and she looked pretty good.

"I don't know about this, I just heard that Roufu Palace invited an imperial physician, saying that Concubine Chu Guifei had a high fever, so she was talking nonsense."

Hearing Su Qingning's question, Hongxiu shook her head. She was not too clear about the specifics, and Jishun had already gone to inquire.

"This way...send someone to listen. If there is any news, tell me in time. Remember to prepare something and send it to Roufu Palace."

Although the relationship with Concubine Chu is not good, but Concubine Chu is ill, she still has to give something. This is the harem, and this is the rule in the harem.

After receiving the order, Hongxiu responded, and Su Qingning took a fruit and ate it in small bites.

She loves to eat fruit. Ever since she was pregnant, Dianzhong Province will send fresh fruit every day. Whoever has it missing can't do without her.

Apart from Su Qingning, many people in the harem knew about Concubine Chu's illness, and the queen sent someone to visit Concubine Chu in Roufu Palace.

The Emperor Chen was reviewing the memorial, and after hearing the news, he sent Zhou Chengren to Roufu Palace.

In any case, Concubine Chu is from the Chu family, and as the emperor, he can't go there in person, he has to send someone to have a look.

Besides the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager also sent Nanny Qin to visit Concubine Chu. When she arrived at Roufu Palace, the imperial physician had just come out of the inner room.

"Emperor Physician, how is Concubine Chu Gui's health?" Looking at the Imperial Physician, Mother Qin asked.

"Nurse Qin." After all, she was someone close to the Queen Mother, the imperial physician greeted her, and then told Nanny Qin about Concubine Chu's situation.

"I heard that the imperial concubine drank a lot of wine yesterday. Perhaps when she returned to Roufu Palace, she was blown by the wind, and the evil spirit rose, so that she developed a high fever. The old man has already prescribed a prescription, just take the medicine on time."

As a matter of fact, Concubine Chu Gui is suffering from heart disease. No one would be able to accept what happened last night.

After sleeping for a while, Concubine Chu started talking nonsense, Zizhu had been guarding the entrance of the inner room, and when she sensed something was wrong, she hurried to the bed, only to find that Concubine Chu's face was flushed.

Stretching out her hand to touch, Concubine Chu Guifei's forehead was hot, Zizhu hurriedly called Zixiao to invite the imperial physician.

After the imperial doctor came, he checked Concubine Chu Guifei's pulse. Judging from the pulse condition, it was urgent and the internal heat did not dissipate. But she is a noble concubine. Logically speaking, there is nothing that can make her anxious.

Zizhu beat the imperial physician a few words in and out of words, those who can work in the palace are all human beings, the imperial physician immediately understood what she meant.

Therefore, when Mother Qin asked, the imperial physician would say that she had a high fever because of blowing the wind after drinking.

"I'm going to trouble the imperial doctor. The imperial concubine is the empress dowager's niece. The empress misses her very much. The imperial physician must make the imperial concubine recover as soon as possible."

After listening to the imperial physician, Mother Qin had a slight smile on her face. She looked at the imperial physician and asked.

"Please rest assured, Mammy, I will do my best to make the imperial concubine get better as soon as possible." Even if Mammy Qin didn't say anything, the imperial physician would do his best, after all, this is a noble concubine.

Nodding her head, Nanny Qin watched the imperial physician leave. She went into the inner room and looked at Concubine Chu Gui who was sleeping.

Frowning slightly, Nanny Qin stared at Concubine Chu Gui and carefully sized her eyes up. Zi Zhu and Zi Xiao were beside her, feeling very nervous, for fear that Nanny Qin would notice something.

"Take good care of the imperial concubine." After a while, Mother Qin looked away, and after a few words of advice, she left Roufu Palace.

Zizhu and Zixiao looked at each other, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Mother Qin is an old mother, if she really sees something... the consequences will be unimaginable.

…………

After leaving Roufu Palace, Nanny Qin went directly back to Shoukang Palace, where the Empress Dowager was leaning on the soft couch, listening to the little maid reciting Buddhist scriptures.

"Are you back? What's going on with Yurou?" After all, it's her niece, and the queen mother is very concerned. "I saw her yesterday, and she looks pretty good. How can she be sick?"
