There was an epidemic outside the palace and many people had died. Huimin was worried about her family and had written several letters home.

Fortunately, my father sent a message saying that everything is fine at home. Now my mother has everything in order and has taken preventive measures.

No one has been found to have contracted the disease yet.

However, her family was worried that Huimin was alone in the palace and might have encountered some accidents, so Ortai kept asking about her.

Huimin just comforted her that everything was fine and no epidemic had been found in the palace.

However, he did not expect that just after the letter was sent, big news suddenly came from the palace that a palace maid had contracted an epidemic.

For a time, people were in panic, fearing that they would be affected.

When Huimin got the news, her heart suddenly tightened.

This epidemic is transmitted from person to person and is very difficult to deal with.

Huimin can only try her best to do what she can.

"Ruyi, take your men to burn the Atractylodes lancea and mugwort leaves, and sprinkle some liquor everywhere."

"We all wear masks, and distribute the medicine sachets. Put more in the servants' rooms. If there are not enough, take some money from me and go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to exchange for more."

"Besides the two of you, don't let the rest of them get close to me. As for tea sets and clothes, use the old ones. Don't use any new ones."

"Be careful."

Huimin gave the instructions one by one in an orderly manner.

Ruyi agreed to all of them and said with a smile:

"Our young master is truly kindhearted. Of all the young masters in the palace, our young master is the one who cares the most about the lives of the palace servants."

Huimin smiled and said nothing more.

These lower-level palace servants make up the majority of the population in the Forbidden City. Never underestimate them.

On the one hand, the lives of these low-level palace servants are also lives. On the other hand, only if I think about these people in normal times and in times of crisis, and let them know that they can survive and be respected by following me, and most importantly, there are benefits, will the people in Chuxiu Palace be loyal to me.

Only a combination of kindness and severity will work. Otherwise, if you abandon them as soon as they encounter danger, or simply ignore them, these people will resent and hate you.

It may not be obvious under normal circumstances, but once they start to retaliate, the consequences can be very serious.

Therefore, if it can be solved with money and you don't need it, then just do it.

As for not looking down on the palace maids, since she came from the modern era, her way of thinking is different from those concubines who were born and raised here, so she is used to it.

Don't look down on them, but also don't be too lenient and let them take advantage of you.

"Ruyi, remember what your young master said, you know what to do."

Ruyi looked at her young master with full of admiration, "My dear young master, there is no time when I don't take your words to heart."

"As for you, I know that our Ruyi is the most reliable."

Huimin teased Ruyi with a smile, which made Ruyi, who was always carefree, feel embarrassed.

"Okay, this epidemic is of great importance. If anyone in the palace is infected with the epidemic, we will isolate them together. We in Chuxiu Palace will not give up on them."

Huimin looked at Shunxin, thought about the possible situation, and ordered again:

"But if the emperor has other arrangements for this sick palace maid, then we will follow his orders. But one thing is, give some money to the eunuch in charge and let him take care of the people in our Chuxiu Palace."

Shunxin, who was standing by, also accepted the task.

Seeing that her two confidants took it very seriously, Huimin nodded in satisfaction.

She turned around and took out one hundred taels of silver from her dowry box.

"Each of you take fifty taels of silver. This matter is special and cannot be handled without silver."

The two took the silver and were grateful for the young master's trust.

After all, this is one hundred taels of silver. The annual allowance for a palace maid like them who have just entered the palace is only three taels of silver.

The master trusts them and is kind to his servants.

No wonder everyone in Chuxiu Palace praises the young lady and is so loyal to her.

Everyone in Chuxiu Palace was on high alert, but unexpectedly, Xiao Ruizi brought news.

"Noble Lady Fucha is pregnant. The Emperor is very pleased."

"The reward will flow like water."

Huimin was startled and tightly grabbed the handkerchief in her hand.

This... is exposed.

It is winter now, and she became pregnant in the autumn, and fortunately it has been quite a while.

She is almost three months pregnant now, so that's not bad.

You should be seated firmly.

But it would be best to keep this matter secret as long as possible, but I don’t know how Fu Cha Peiyun was exposed.

But as long as she wasn't stupid enough to reveal it herself.

If she had leaked the news on purpose, that would be ridiculous.

Hopefully it's not like in the show.

But the situation in the palace is like this now, and Huimin can't go to the Yanx Palace to find out what's going on.

If it was a letter, or someone was delivering the message, Huimin would not feel at ease.

This kind of message or letter is likely to cause the words to be distorted and to be known to others.

Or maybe there are many things that are not convenient to say in a letter.

The details of this matter are not so easy to know.

Since there was no way to go, Huimin no longer cared.

No matter what, no matter how many people they are in the same boat, Huimin's most important thing at the moment is to save her child and protect everyone in Chuxiu Palace.

Everyone loves their own child, so naturally Huimin will take care of her own child first.

It is important to distinguish the primary from the secondary.

In fact, it was a good thing that Noble Lady Fucha revealed that she was pregnant at this time, because the eyes of the entire palace would probably be on her.

Huimin could keep it a secret better, and the epidemic was serious, and the emperor had not come to the harem for a long time.

The more stable my life is, the better. Even without an emperor, I still have an heir. This is such a good thing.

Huimin was satisfied, and Ruyi also said:

"My lady, I heard that Noble Lady Fucha often suffers from chest tightness and discomfort, and the Emperor often visits her."

Huimin was even happier, "Good, good, the emperor loves her."

Seeing her young mistress laughing so hard, Ruyi was puzzled.

"My lady, the emperor has already given me such a big favor, and you still..."

Huimin understood Ruyi's unspoken words. She didn't mind that Fu Cha Peiyun's pregnancy was given so much attention, and she even smiled like that.

If she was not pregnant, it would be fine for Noble Lady Fucha to form an alliance with her, but the key point is that she is pregnant and she is laughing like this.

It's bound to be strange.

But Huimin is really happy, this is really interesting.

In the eyes of some people, Noble Lady Fucha must be out of her mind. She is so presumptuous that she is afraid that she will get hurt.

But Huimin guessed Fu Cha Peiyun's plan, and there was no way to hide it, so she simply showed off to make the emperor pay attention to her, and she could also get more of the emperor's protection.

She put herself in a position that the emperor valued, making everyone in the harem afraid of the consequences.

But...even so, the risk is huge.

All I can say is that everyone has their own plans.

But it was really strange that she suddenly behaved like this. Fu Cha Peiyun might have been exposed because something happened, otherwise she wouldn't have...

Fu Cha Peiyun changed her plan, so Huimin had to discuss it with her again.

However, Huimin is going to take the opposite route from her. She is ostentatious, which is just right for her to be low-key.
