Early the next morning, Qi Wuyou was sleeping soundly when the imperial concubine and her two companions came again.

Qi Wuyou: (.-w-)zzz

It’s only this time, don’t disturb my sleep.

But Qi Wuyou still got up very quickly. What a joke. Is it important to hug your thighs when sleeping?

It’s okay to sleep less for the sake of lying down life in the future.

"Why are you here so early, sisters?" Qi Wuyou tried hard to keep open his sleepy eyes.

Seeing Qi Wuyou's listless appearance, Concubine Rong rushed over and said, "Let me see what happened. Did you have a nightmare yesterday? How about I move in to accompany you?"

Concubine Shu: "..."

Chen Fei: "..."

It's so unethical. He agreed to move in together but ended up abandoning us.

Qi Wuyou: “…”

"No need, Sister Imperial Concubine, I didn't have a nightmare, I just slept a lot." Qi Wuyou pushed Imperial Concubine Rong, but when she didn't push him, he just let her be.

I forgot that you are not grown up yet. Sorry, I will come later. Concubine Rong and the other two looked at each other and saw approval in each other's eyes.

"What's up, sisters?" You came so early. If it's nothing important, look at me... I'll go to sleep in a while. My sisters are the most important. The sky is big, the earth is big, and the thighs are the biggest.

"We're here to ask you to meet the Queen Mother," Concubine Rong pulled Qi Wuyou to sit in front of the dressing table.

The Queen Mother? Xuan Yelan's mother? Are they going to join forces with the mother-in-law to set rules for me, the future daughter-in-law?

As expected of a lady from a noble family, Concubine Shu was very deft and quickly tied Qi Wuyou's hair into a bun. Concubine Chen was not idle either and skillfully put makeup on Qi Wuyou's face.

Finally, the imperial concubine picked up Qi Wuyou and strode out.

Qi Wuyou: "..." What I mean is, is it necessary to be so anxious? The sky is just getting light and the moon is still in the sky. Can the Queen Mother get up?

Facts proved that he was able to get up. Not only did he get up, he also practiced sword in the Shoukang Palace.

Qi Wuyou: Okay, okay, everyone is hardworking except me who is lazy. Please don’t involve me in the palace fight, I just want to play badly.

The Queen Mother was over 40 years old. Except for some white hair on her temples, she was full of energy and in good health. Qi Wuyou then remembered that the Li family seemed to be a family of military commanders.

Inside the palace, the main hall.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother," the four of them said in unison.

"No need to be so polite, Yujia, come here," the Queen Mother waved to Qi Wuyou.

Qi Wuyou responded and walked over.

"This is my gift to you. I hope everything goes well for you in the future and that everything will be perfect in the end." As he said this, he asked the nanny beside him to bring a box.

There was a jade bracelet in the box, the texture was delicate and transparent, the color was bright and pure, it was very beautiful, Qi Wuyou liked it very much.

The Queen Mother took out the jade bracelet, took Qi Wuyou's hand, and put it on her personally.

"Thank you..." Qi Wuyou was startled when she saw the Queen Mother glare at her, and quickly changed her words, "Thank you, mother."

The Queen Mother's expression eased a little, and she seemed to be smiling. She raised her hand and motioned Qi Wuyou to sit down.

"I'm sure you all know these three," asked the Queen Mother.

Qi Wuyou nodded and said, "Sisters, they are very welcoming and treat Yujia very well."

"That's good. You haven't reached the age of marriage yet, so there's no need to rush about having children. But as the Empress, you should manage the six palaces well."

Qi Wuyou: I just entered the palace and I have to start working?

"But I..." Qi Wuyou wanted to refuse. She also wanted to give up. She didn't want to go to work anymore.

"No buts, this is your duty." The Queen Mother said sternly.

Qi Wuyou: "..." Is this a threat? What a joke, you really think I was scared.

"But I have never learned it, and I am worried that I cannot manage it well. May I ask, Your Majesty, who was in charge before?" Qi Wuyou said timidly, looking unpresentable.

Humph, I don't believe you can force the management office to break the harem.

"Before, it was Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu who were in charge." The empress dowager rubbed her head, her headache coming back again.

"Then the two elder sisters will take care of her from now on. Yujia will learn first, and when she has learned enough, you can take care of her, okay?"

"Forget it, it's up to you. I'm tired, so I'll leave first." The headache was getting worse and worse.

"I'll take my leave." The four of them stepped out.

It was not until they left Shoukang Palace that they started talking.

"Alas, Aunt Empress Dowager's old illness relapses more and more frequently," Concubine Shu spoke first.

"Old illness?" Qi Wuyou asked.

"It's a headache. When it comes, the headache won't stop. I can't eat or sleep. I've seen countless famous doctors over the years, but there's no improvement." The imperial concubine replied.

"How terrible," Qi Wuyou swallowed her saliva. She was most afraid of not being able to eat or sleep. "Is there really no cure? Have you found a doctor who can treat difficult and complicated diseases?"

"I have heard of a doctor who treats difficult and complicated diseases and may be able to cure it, but he was dead when we went to find him." Concubine Rong lamented.

"Dead? How did he die?" He couldn't have been silenced. After all, no good would come of messing with the royal family. Maybe the empress dowager's headache was caused by an assassination.

"It is said that he fell off a cliff and died. I heard that the doctor passed on all his life's learning to his daughter." Chen Fei continued.

"What about his daughter? Has she been found?" Qi Wuyou asked curiously.

"No," replied Concubine Rong. She heard from the villagers that she had entered the palace to become a queen.

"Could she be the concubine of the late emperor?" Qi Wuyou asked doubtfully. Now that they have entered the palace, why not investigate it?

"She is from Qi."

Qi Wuyou:! This isn’t talking about my mother.

As if to prove Qi Wuyou's guess, Concubine Chen continued, "I heard from my father that sixteen years ago he was ordered to find this doctor, but unfortunately he was a step too late. Doctor He accidentally fell off a cliff while collecting herbs and died."

Qi Wuyou: Sixteen years ago? Doctor He? What a coincidence?

"I heard that Doctor He had a daughter who was also a doctor, so I thought of looking for her and asking around. I found out that Miss He entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine not long after her father passed away."

At this point, Concubine Shu suddenly looked at Qi Wuyou and asked with a smile, "Does An An know this lady surnamed He?"

"No, I don't know him." Qi Wuyou pretended to be calm.

But my heart was already exploding: Oh my god! It can't be that it's really my mother. My mother was tricked into the palace by her fiancé sixteen years ago, not long after my grandfather passed away.

Now she doesn't know whether these people are friends or enemies, so she dare not disclose her mother's whereabouts at will.

It would be best if this Concubine Shu is of the same mind as Xuan Yelan, otherwise... then don't blame her for watching him die without helping.

Let’s see the situation first and find a chance to ask Xuan Yelan.

Qi Wuyou's thoughts were brought back by Concubine Rong, "This Miss He came into the palace sixteen years ago, and you, An An, are only eleven years old. Maybe Miss He passed away before you were born. It's normal that you haven't seen her." Concubine Rong touched Qi Wuyou's head.

Judging from Xiao Anan’s reaction just now, he must know this Empress He.

Shufei is really something. She was scared by her expression just now. Why did she scare Xiao Anan?

The reason she didn't tell us now is that she just met us and doesn't understand us yet. Once she knows how good we are, she will naturally tell us.

Forget it, I'll ask again when I have the chance.

Thinking of this, Concubine Rong gave Concubine Li a reproachful look.

Concubine Shu: “…” Okay, then I’ll do as you say.
