Xia Dongchun was deeply moved by the thoughtfulness of Mr. Borjigit.

"Why don't I talk to the emperor and the empress and ask them to move over to my sister's place?" Xia Dongchun had an idea. She originally wanted to ask Concubine Borjigit to move over to her place, but then she remembered that she already had Concubine Fucha and An Lingrong over there. If she moved over there, her life would be lively.

My temper is fine, but I'm afraid Lord Borjigit can't stand it.

So when the words come to my lips, I just move them over.

Hearing her say this, Borjigit stopped her and said, "Sister, don't be confused. The Palace of Desire is also a good place. It is much closer to the Emperor's Hall of Mental Cultivation than where I am."

"If I didn't have a daughter named An and a noble lady named Fucha, I would really like to ask my sister to move to the Yanxi Palace as well." Xia Dongchun sighed, but at least she didn't mention the matter of moving there again.

"It's good for us now, sister. If you feel uncomfortable in your room, just send someone to call me and I will go to accompany you." The nobleman Borjigit breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of her impulsive nature. "The scenery in the Imperial Garden is beautiful recently, and the lotus flowers are gradually blooming. I will accompany you to appreciate the flowers in two days."

"Okay," Xia Dongchun nodded, "I heard that the Imperial Garden has two more sika deer. We can go and have a look."

Neither of them noticed that while they were talking, a young eunuch brought by Xia Dongchun glanced at them.

Xia Dongchun did not stay in Zhongcui Palace for long, because it was almost time for the imperial physician to check her pulse.

Noblewoman Borjigit also knew about this, so she did not keep her.

After Xia Dongchun left, Noblewoman Borjigit went back to her room to read.

The young eunuch returned to the Yanx Palace and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he hurriedly ran out of the Yanx Palace and went to the Qixiang Palace.

Qixiang Palace

Concubine Li drank tea while listening to the eunuch's report.

"Your Majesty, I heard with my own ears that Noble Borjigit and Noble Xia are going to the Imperial Garden tomorrow to admire the lotus flowers and to see the two sika deer." The little eunuch bowed.

"Did you hear everything?" Lipin looked at the young eunuch, "If you try to deceive me with even a single word, you should know the consequences."

The young eunuch nodded his head and said, "I have heard it carefully and I dare not lie to you."

"Don't tell anyone about your visit to see me. Keep your mouth shut." Lipin warned, "Don't tell even Concubine Hua. Remember?"

The young eunuch was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded: "I will remember this and will never mention it to anyone else. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Okay, from the moment you leave Qixiang Palace today, this matter has nothing to do with you anymore, and you have never come to see me before. You must remember this." Concubine Li was quite cautious about this matter. After all, if this matter was discovered by others, she would be finished.

"Yes, I have remembered them all." The young eunuch agreed one by one.

"Okay, there's nothing for you to do now. Go out and claim your reward." Lipin withdrew her gaze and didn't look at him again.

The young eunuch retreated, and the maidservant beside Lipin was already waiting outside. When she saw him come out, she stuffed a bulging purse into his hand and said, "Watch your mouth. There will be rewards in the future. If even a little bit of this gets leaked out, watch out for your head."

"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, young lady. Please also rest assured, your Majesty. I know what to say and what not to say." The young eunuch weighed his purse with satisfaction, "I am very tight-lipped."

After the young eunuch left, Ruomu, the palace maid beside Concubine Li, entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, are you really not going to let Empress Hua know about this?" Ruomu was a little worried. If they really did something without telling Empress Hua, then even if something happened, Empress Hua might not protect them.

"You don't know, ever since Concubine Hua lost a child in the palace, she has not allowed anyone around her to do anything despicable to other people's unborn children. If I just messed with Xia, it would be fine, Concubine Hua wouldn't say anything, but... if Concubine Hua really knew about this, no matter what she thought in her heart, she would definitely reprimand me, so it's better not to let her know."

Ruomu became even more worried after hearing this: "But Madam..."

"No buts!" Lipin interrupted her, "The child in Xia's belly must not be kept!"

Since Concubine Li knew that Xia Dongchun was pregnant, she couldn't sleep at night. She couldn't understand why Xia Dongchun was pregnant after only six months of being favored by the emperor. She had served the emperor for so long, but her belly was not moving at all.

They were all from the Han Army Banner. Concubine Hua was the most favored concubine in the six palaces and the leader of the Han Army Banner. She could not compete with her. Could it be that now even a noble who had just entered the palace for half a year had to step on her head?

Lipin's eyes gradually became firm. She absolutely could not let the child in Xia's belly be born safely.

"I will obey your majesty." Ruomu said.

"Are everything ready?" asked Lipin.

Ruomu said, "Don't worry, Madam, everything is ready."

"Then let's go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers in the afternoon." Lipin said.

"Yes." Ruomu agreed.

"By the way, I'll find a reason to bring that eunuch over to deal with him." Lipin said again, with a look of disdain on her face, "Eunuchs are rootless and unreliable. Only dead people will shut up."

"Yes." Ruomu's expression remained unchanged.

Concubine Li put down the teacup in her hand, lowered her hand and touched her belly. In addition to the jealousy towards Xia Dongchun, she also felt a bit lonely.

She couldn't figure it out. The imperial physicians said there was nothing wrong with her body, but she hadn't been pregnant in all these years and there was no movement in her belly.

In this situation, how could she remain calm while looking at Xia Dongchun's belly?

Just wait and see. Once she gets rid of the baby in Xia Dongchun's belly, even if Concubine Hua finds out, she can say that she did it for Concubine Hua.

By that time the child would be gone. Even though Concubine Hua might be angry at first, she would be fine after two days.

In the afternoon, Lipin took Ruomu to the Imperial Garden and stood by the lotus pond for a while. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she took a small bottle from Ruomu, pulled out the cork, tilted the bottle, and the osmanthus oil in the bottle slowly flowed out. Lipin took a step back.

Ruomu looked at the oil on the ground with her, a little hesitant: "My lady, will this be too conspicuous?"

Ruomu felt that unless Xia Dongchun was a fool, he would not notice the situation here.

"What do you know?" Lipin glanced at Ruomu, "Who walks without looking ahead and just lowering their head? You think it's obvious, but it's only because you know what's here that you think it's conspicuous."

really?

Ruomu was a little suspicious, but didn't say anything.
