Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

In the Da Sheng Dynasty, after the emperor’s death, his body would be kept for five days before being dressed in custom-made shrouds. This was called the Xiaolian.

After the small burial, the body will not be buried immediately, but moved to a special place called a funeral palace.

Important officials and courtiers, as well as concubines, princes, and royal nobles all had to mourn for the emperor.

Bai Lingxi's job is to complete the task of transferring spiritual power during this period.

But at this moment Bai Lingxi was still lying on the bed and couldn't wake up. Xiao Qi knew that this was the sequelae of having all the spiritual power in her body drained away, and her body would fall into a deep sleep for a while.

The baby in her belly is almost five months old. Xiao Qi watched Hu Xinlin trying hard to repair Bai Lingxi's body and the spiritual energy lingering in her belly, and knew that the boss was protecting the child.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The boss is really awesome, but it's rare to see him cheating on himself.

A whole night had passed, and because of Bai Lingxi's previous instructions, no one dared to disturb her at night. But now so much time has passed, especially considering the child in her belly, the palace servants decided to go into the house to check.

Hanzhu was the first to be affected. She knew how much the queen loved the emperor and she must be very sad to hear the news of his death, so she tactfully did not disturb her. However, she could not continue to indulge in such pain, and how could the little prince bear it?

Hanzhu: "I'll go in and take a look. Go and prepare the food. Don't let the queen go hungry."

After giving instructions to the other palace maids, Hanzhu carefully pushed open the door and walked in. When she arrived in front of Bai Lingxi's bed, she couldn't help gasping when she saw Bai Lingxi's beautiful face like an angel.

After a long while, she came back to her senses. She saw that she was staring at the empress again and almost forgot something important. Now the empress was still asleep and she didn't want to disturb her.

Bai Lingxi's plump chest rose and fell slightly, her red lips slightly parted, her small tongue faintly visible, extremely charming, and her cheeks slightly flushed with a pleasing blush, and it was obvious that she was sleeping very soundly. Hanzhu saw that the queen seldom fell asleep, and she didn't get up at this time, presumably because she didn't get a good rest last night.

Thinking of this, Hanzhu quietly retreated again, not daring to disturb them any further, and fearing that she would wake up the empress, so she almost tiptoed out.

Hanzhu arrived at the door and signaled the palace servants to stay away so as not to disturb the empress.

When they were nearly ten meters away from the door, Hanzhu said, "The queen must have not slept well after hearing about the emperor's affairs. She just fell asleep now. We should not disturb her and wait for her to wake up."

The palace maids all said "yes", and then they all sighed in their hearts that Concubine Rong and the Emperor were indeed deeply in love and neither of them could sleep well.

All I can say is that Hanzhu really has a good mouth, and that's how the rumor spread.

"Hey, have you heard that Concubine Rong is worried too much and is now in a coma."

"Do you know? Concubine Rong missed the late emperor so much that she fainted from crying."

Zhao Qi saw several young palace maids and eunuchs discussing this matter, and remembering his master's instructions, he leaned over to listen to what was going on.

Zhao Qi: "What happened to Concubine Rong?"

When a few enthusiastic young palace maids saw that it was a young eunuch who had never heard of this matter, they immediately became excited, pulled him to the center, and started chattering about it. It was very lively with one person saying something at a time!

"Haven't you heard? I was on duty in the imperial kitchen this morning and heard that Concubine Rong was in a coma because she missed the late emperor and couldn't even eat."

"What? Your news is too outdated. Listen to me, Concubine Rong has not left her house since she heard the national mourning bell. She drove away all the servants, and then-"

The round-faced palace maid paused here, wanting to keep the other person in suspense.

Zhao Qi was very anxious and urged: "Sister, don't keep me in suspense. Come on!"

"Then Concubine Rong cried so much that she didn't even have dinner. She was so heartbroken that she couldn't sleep all night. I'm afraid she cried so much that she had no strength left. She just fell asleep in the morning."

After Zhao Qi received the news, he saw that they had nothing to add, and said that he had something else to do, so he slipped away in a hurry.

Zhao Qi was walking on the road and thinking, should he tell the prince?

The prince has not yet ascended the throne and is extremely busy right now. It is better not to tell the prince about such a trivial matter and cause him more trouble.

Zhao Qi didn't expect that the situation over there began to deteriorate when he was only a few hours late. He could only be thankful that he didn't tell the prince that Concubine Rong was not asleep, but unconscious!

The thing is, Zhou Changling thought that he would need a high-ranking concubine in the harem to mourn for his father, but his father had disbanded the harem before, leaving the palace with no one in charge.

Zhou Changling absolutely did not want to hand over the palace power to Zhao Xueqi, this stupid woman. He was afraid that Zhao Xueqi would develop unnecessary ambitions, and he did not believe that she had the ability to manage the harem, which would lead to lax management in the palace and even greater chaos.

In addition, he had some inexplicable feelings towards Bai Lingxi, and wanted to use this opportunity to see her earlier to ease his longing for her.

If she could take over the palace power, he would have a reason to contact her. Thinking of this, Zhou Changling sent someone to the palace to invite Bai Lingxi.

It was three quarters past three when the messenger arrived. Normally, Bai Lingxi would have woken up by this time, but today, contrary to her usual behavior, she had not woken up yet.

"Aunt Hanzhu, someone from the palace has come to ask for the queen, but she hasn't woken up yet. What should we do?"

Hanzhu also knew the seriousness of the matter. After all, they didn't know what kind of temper the new emperor had, but the Bai family had severely offended this emperor before. But no matter what, she couldn't panic. She woke up the empress and asked her to make the decision.

Hanzhu: "Now that things have come to this, I will go and wake up the queen. You should not be idle either. Serve the best tea to that gentleman and hold him back for a while."

"Okay, Aunt Hanzhu."

After receiving Hanzhu's instructions, the little palace maid came up with an idea. She tried to find a way to delay this adult and not cause his dissatisfaction, otherwise he would exaggerate and say some specious words, and the empress's situation would be in danger.

Hanzhu also started to take action. She took the little palace maids who usually helped Concubine Rong wash and dress, and asked them to wait outside while she went in to wake up the Concubine first.

Hanzhu: "My Lady?"

Hanzhu: "My Lady?"

Hanzhu called out several times, but no one answered. Bai Lingxi just lay there quietly, motionless. If it weren't for the rise and fall of her chest, Hanzhu would have thought that something had happened to the queen.

But she also felt that something was wrong. Why was the Queen still in a coma? What should she do? She couldn't fool the new emperor's people.
