"I originally thought that the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet would be delayed because of the earthquake in Northern Xinjiang, but I didn't expect that the newly appointed Governor Zhao would be so efficient." Concubine Liang was disappointed.

"What's the use of being so sharp? He's not one of ours." The queen sighed helplessly, "That Governor Liu is still in prison. Don't make up stories."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. My father has already told him that he knows he won't survive, but he still wants his child to be alive." Concubine Liang said in a low voice.

The Queen did not say anything else, but nodded silently: "It's getting late, I have to go back and change my clothes."

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry so much. Even if the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is held, we don't know whether it can be successfully completed." Concubine Liang raised the corner of her lips: "I'm afraid that this excessive limelight may not necessarily be a good thing."

at dusk.

Mu Qianqian, held by Concubine Shu, was feeding millet to the colorful birds in the yard.

Mu Junxi's foster nanny hurried in from outside: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, may the Imperial Concubine be blessed."

Concubine Shu paused with her fingertips: "Madam, what's wrong? What happened? Why do you look so anxious?"

“Your Highness, it’s all my fault. I didn’t take good care of the Fifth Prince. Please punish me.” The governess knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply.

Concubine Shu's heart tightened and her face turned pale in an instant: "Madam, please tell me quickly, has something happened to Xi'er?"

"My Lady, the Fifth Prince said he felt a little uncomfortable last night. I thought he had caught a cold. When I got up this morning, I will call the Imperial Physician to come and check on the Fifth Prince."

"The Fifth Prince said he has homework to do in the study, so I'll read it after I get out of the study."

"I saw that the Fifth Prince was in good spirits, so I made him some ginger tea."

"When I went down to the study, I saw that the Fifth Prince seemed to be normal. But after dinner, he suddenly developed a high fever."

"What?" Concubine Shu didn't even think about it. She held Mu Qianqian in her arms and walked quickly towards the prince's residence: "What did the imperial physician say?"

"The imperial physician just came to see him and it seems that he has chickenpox. The fifth prince took medicine, but the high fever has not subsided." The governess followed closely behind Concubine Shu and said self-reproachfully.

"Good luck to the Imperial Concubine Shu, please..."

Followed by a greeting voice.

Concubine Shu was already standing at the door of Mu Junxi's bedroom.

"Empress Shu, chickenpox is a serious disease. You'd better not go in." A masked imperial physician stood in front of Empress Shu.

"Xi'er is my child. How can I not go to see him just because he is sick?" Concubine Shu said with a hint of anger: "Get out of the way."

"Your Highness." The imperial physician knelt on the ground and said, "I know that Your Highness loves her son very much, but chickenpox is indeed a serious disease and is contagious. Even if Your Highness does not care about yourself, you should also care about the Seventh Princess in your arms. The Seventh Princess is not even a year old yet and it is easy for her to get sick."

Everyone in the palace knew that the Seventh Princess was raised in the palm of Emperor Yuanwu's hand.

If he got infected with chickenpox because he came to see the fifth prince.

The entire Imperial Hospital cannot afford to suffer such a crime.

Concubine Shu suddenly realized and stuffed Mu Qianqian into Ying'er's arms: "Can I come in now?"
