Seeing his crazy look, Xiao Junru swallowed subconsciously, but she couldn't help but said: "Hua Yaoxue is Hua Huaiyuan's biological daughter, he will not send her to the palace."

Xiao Juzhu showed a hint of sneer on his face: "Do you think that in Hua Huaiyuan's eyes, anything can compare to power?"

Xiao Junruming didn't say anything because she knew that what Xiao Juzhu said was right. In Hua Huaiyuan's eyes, power was the most important thing.

But there was one thing she didn't understand. What was his purpose in sending Hua Yaoxue into the palace? Was he trying to make things difficult for Hua Shu?

Xiao Juzhu knew what she was thinking but didn't point it out. He propped his chin with one hand and asked, "By the way, how has Hua Jingxuan's health been during this period?"

Xiao Junru lowered her eyes and said, "He's much better now, but he has been staying in the courtyard and rarely comes out."

Xiao Juzhu nodded and said, "Well, you should spend more time with him. It would be best if he could trust you without hesitation."

"Yes."

Looking at her like this, Xiao Juzhu felt extremely bored and took out a bottle from his arms and threw it to her.

Then he stood up and said, "This month's medicine."

"Thank you, Master." Xiao Junru tightly grasped the medicine bottle in her hand, her eyes dim and frightening.

Xiao Juzhu walked out the door without saying anything. He stopped after taking two steps and asked, "Aunt, Hua Huaiyuan is obviously not as good as Hua Huaijin in every way. Why did you fall in love with him? What does it feel like to fall in love with someone?"

Xiao Junru looked back at him in surprise, then she thought of something and said, "Falling in love with someone means you can give everything for him, even your own life."

"Oh, I see." Xiao Juzhu smiled and continued to walk out.

"Then I will never fall in love with anyone in my life."

Watching him disappear in the yard, Xiao Junru could no longer bear it and collapsed to the ground, her palms covered in cold sweat.

……

A few days later, Chuxiu Palace.

Hua Shu's complexion has improved a lot, and nothing else has happened in the palace in the past few days.

If there is any truth to it, it is that Concubine Li Shu was restored to her position as a concubine with the help of Hua Shu.

Since she was reinstated as a concubine, she has sent Hua Shu many good things, and on several occasions she delivered them personally.

Rendong looked at the things sent by Concubine Li Shu on the table, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Master, I'm afraid you might think she's moving in."

Hua Shu turned a page of the book in her hand and said with a smile, "Put your things away."

"Yes." Ren Dong asked a few people to put all the things into the small storeroom, and then she couldn't help but stepped forward and whispered, "Stop, Concubine Shu sent you so many things, and Concubine Xian, Concubine Hui, even Concubine Yun and the concubines in the palace sent you things, why didn't Concubine Gui send you anything this time, and didn't come to see you."

Hua Shu looked at the book in her hand and said without raising her head: "The Imperial Concubine has to deal with the affairs of the six palaces. Maybe she is too busy."

Honeysuckle frowned and said: "As long as she is willing, she can also ask the servants to bring it over."

Hua Shu closed the book, looked up at her and asked, "Just say what you want to say."

Ren Dong smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Master, in fact, I also suspected at the beginning that what happened that night was planned by you and the Imperial Concubine, but I know that you did not tell the Imperial Concubine about the plan, but the one who benefited from the whole thing was the Imperial Concubine."

"But what I don't understand is that you helped her, but she didn't even look at you, and she didn't even send you anything. I'm a little suspicious that she's taking advantage of you."

Hua Shu thought for a moment and said, "Whether she comes to see me or not, whether she sends me gifts or not is her own business. We have no right to interfere."

"As for what you said about her benefiting from it, I think it makes sense. After all, the Queen angered the Emperor and the Phoenix Seal was taken back. Apart from the Queen, only the Imperial Concubine can act as the Six Palaces."

Hua Shu didn't think there was anything wrong with Concubine Fu gaining the right to act as the agent of the six palaces, not because she was close to Concubine Fu.

Just as she told Rendong, apart from the Queen, there was only Concubine Fu, and Concubine Lin, and the rest were concubines including her.

Even if it wasn't Concubine Fu who was acting in charge of the six palaces, it would be Concubine Lin. In any case, it would not be the turn of the concubines below the rank of imperial concubine.

But Concubine Lin was not favored, and Concubine Fu was not competitive, so she naturally became the person in charge of the six palaces.

Honeysuckle sighed softly, "You have done so much, but in the end you have helped others. I just can't understand it."

Hua Shu smiled helplessly: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it."

"But..." Before Rendong could finish her words, Caiyue's voice was heard at the door.

"Master, the imperial concubine is here."

"Please come in, Concubine." Hua Shu put the book under the pillow, smiled at Ren Dong and said, "Look, here she comes."

Rendong touched his nose a little embarrassedly, then bowed to Concubine Fu who came in.

Hua Shu was about to throw off the quilt and get out of bed to pay her respects, but Concubine Fu stepped forward first, holding her hand and saying, "You don't have to get out of bed because you're not well yet."

After saying that, she sat down on the bedside and looked at Hua Shu with a sigh: "It's only been a few days since we last met, how come you've lost so much weight?"

Hua Shu reached out and touched her face, and said with a smile, "Have you lost weight? Maybe it's because you didn't get enough rest."

Concubine Fu looked at her and couldn't help but sigh again. She held her hand and said, "Don't think too much. You are still young. Fortunately, you still have a child."

Hua Shu smiled and nodded, then pretended to ask casually: "My queen, you have been in the palace for many years, why don't you have a child?"

Hearing this, Concubine Fu's eyes turned red unconsciously. She lowered her head and said, "I was also pregnant with a child back then, a princess, but I was young at the time and accidentally had a miscarriage, which hurt my body."

When Hua Shu heard her say that she was pregnant with a princess, she frowned slightly. She felt that something was strange, but she couldn't tell exactly what was strange.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Concubine Fu sighed softly, held her hand and said, "Don't worry, you are different from me. You are still young. If you take good care of yourself, you will have your own children."

Hua Shu nodded, and for some reason the words that Concubine Li Shu had said that day echoed in her mind: "You might be Concubine Fu's daughter."

She looked up at Concubine Fu, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I heard a rumor recently."

Concubine Fu smiled gently and asked, "What rumors?"

Hua Shu looked at her and spoke word by word: "Rumor has it that I am actually your biological daughter. I want to ask you, am I your daughter?"

Concubine Fu froze, and after she reacted, she grabbed Hua Shu’s hand and blurted out, “I wanted to ask Hua Shu who told her.

Looking at her reaction, Hua Shu's heart began to lift. Could she really be Concubine Fu's daughter?
