"That's not my fault," Xia Dongchun curled her lips, "Isn't it the Emperor who made me jealous? And now the Emperor is blaming me for being too jealous. How can that be justified?"

"Okay, okay," Yinzhen laughed loudly, "I don't blame you, I don't blame you."

Ling Yuan didn't know what was going on. When she saw Yinzhen smiling, she thought he was teasing her, so she also grinned. Yinzhen felt a lot better.

In the middle of the night, there was another noise outside. It was Noble Lady Fucha who used the same trick again: "Your Majesty, Noble Lady Fucha is experiencing discomfort due to fetal movement. Please go over and take a look."

Yinzhen's mood, which had finally relaxed, suddenly became irritated. He did not move, but just frowned.

Xia Dongchun opened her eyes and looked at him, knowing that even though Yinzhen looked impatient now, he would probably choose to go see Noble Lady Fucha in the end, and he would definitely not come back after that.

An Lingrong is a coward who can't keep anyone, nor does she dare to keep anyone. Xia Dongchun can't stand such humiliation.

She rolled her eyes, sat up, and called Yinzhen twice in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty? Noble Lady Fucha seems to be having fetal discomfort again. Would Your Majesty like to go and see her?"

Yinzhen originally wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, and planned to consider whether to go if the outside world really invited him urgently. But after Xia Dongchun asked this, it was difficult for him to pretend that he didn't hear it.

He had no choice but to sit up. Xia Dongchun quickly got out of bed and took Yinzhen's coat to put on him. "It's winter now, and it's cold at night. Even if the emperor is concerned about Noble Lady Fucha, he must take care of his health."

After saying that, I don’t know whether it was real or fake, but Xia Dongchun coughed twice.

Yinzhen turned to her, his expression softened a little: "Look, you only care about me, but you don't even know how to put on some clothes."

"It's fine for me, but Concubine Fucha has had discomfort with fetal movements at least ten times this month," Xia Dongchun looked worried, as if she really cared about Concubine Fucha. "I remember that this didn't happen when I was pregnant with Lingyuan. I don't know if something went wrong. It's not a good thing to keep going like this. Why don't you summon the imperial physician to take a closer look and see what's wrong?"

"If I remember correctly, you and Noble Lady Fucha don't have a good relationship, right?" Yinzhen's words were unclear, "Why do you care about her so much?"

"I don't care about Noble Lady Fucha." Xia Dongchun frowned, more like she was jealous, with a bit of girlish coquettishness, and turned away without looking at Yinzhen, "If Noble Lady Fucha wasn't pregnant with the emperor's child, I wouldn't care about her at all."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I misunderstood Zhao'er." Seeing her like this, Yinzhen smiled. If Xia Dongchun really said something high-sounding about sisterly love, Yinzhen would not believe it. But it was such straightforward words that made Yinzhen feel comfortable.

Xia Dongchun then turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please go and see Noble Lady Fucha. Don't delay any more."

Yinzhen waved his hand and pulled her to his side: "What's the point of me going to see it?"

After saying that, he called out to Su Peisheng who was guarding outside: "Su Peisheng!"

"What does the emperor have to say?" Su Peisheng had been waiting for a long time. It just depended on whether Concubine Zhao could keep the person or Concubine Fucha could get rid of him.

"Go and ask the imperial physician for Noble Lady Fucha, and tell her that if she has any discomfort with the fetal movement, she should go to the imperial physician. What's the point of coming to me? I am not an imperial physician, and I can't treat illnesses!"

Su Peisheng sighed in his heart, "It seems that Concubine Zhao is slightly better," and went downstairs to ask for the imperial physician.

Xia Dongchun hadn't acted enough: "Your Majesty, are you really not going to take a look? What if something really happens? Then when the time comes, you will blame me for not letting Your Majesty take a look."

"Why should I blame you?" Yinzhen took off his coat, "It's me who doesn't want to go. It's so late. Let's stop talking and go to sleep."

Xia Dongchun took the clothes, turned around with a smile, put the clothes up, and lay back down.

Noble Lady Fucha, who had not invited anyone, was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent: "Xia Dongchun! She always ruins my plans! Wait, when I give birth to a prince and become the head of Yanxi Palace, I will show you how I will deal with her!"

Bai Yu watched her drink the tonic and said, "My lady, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to ruin your own body. The little lady in your belly will feel bad too."

"Hmph." Noble Lady Fucha snorted coldly and stopped talking. After drinking the tonic, she lay down and fell asleep.

They all lived together, and the noise here was quite loud, so An Lingrong naturally heard it. She thought that Xia Dongchun would face the same dilemma as her - Yinzhen would leave Xia Dongchun and go to see Noble Lady Fucha.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, there was no sound of Yinzhen coming out, and only the sound of Su Peisheng going to call the imperial physician was heard.

Now it was An Lingrong's turn to be unable to sleep.

Bao Juan heard her tossing and turning, guessing that she was still asleep, so she tentatively called out, "Young Master, can't you sleep?"

An Lingrong said nothing. She didn't want to tell anyone about this.

I couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Why? Why was the situation the same, but the final results were different?

Baojuan guessed that she was still awake, but since An Lingrong didn't say anything, she pretended not to know.

Early the next morning, Yinzhen left Xia Dongchun's place to attend court. Xia Dongchun also got up early and simply dressed up early to pay her respects to the queen.

The little palace maid in Noble Lady Fucha's room poured out a basin of water, and it happened to be poured in front of Xia Dongchun's door.

Unexpectedly, Yin Zhu happened to see it. The little palace maid was stunned for a moment. She knew Yin Zhu, someone that even Sister Bai Yu could not afford to offend.

Yin Zhu sneered, took a few steps forward, snatched the basin from the maid's hand, and started to scold her: "Are the two holes under your eyebrows for venting? Or have you not learned the rules of the palace well? Who taught you that you can pour water in front of the master's door?!"

The little maid didn't dare to act arrogant in front of Yin Zhu. She shrank her shoulders but still tried to be tough: "I...I didn't mean it."

"You didn't mean to do that?" Yin Zhu exerted force on her hand and threw the basin of water in front of Noble Lady Fucha's door. The basin hit the ground, making a series of ding-ding and clanging sounds. The little palace maid was so scared that she looked at her and dared not say anything.

"I didn't mean it. If your master asks, you can explain it yourself!" Yin Zhu had no sympathy for the woman. She only knew that when she worked under Xia Dongchun, she would never watch her master being humiliated.

The little palace maid was now extremely regretful. Why did she have to let someone as powerful as Yin Zhu run into her? If it wasn't Yin Zhu, she wouldn't be so scared.
