Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

After returning to the palace, King Xuan personally carried Shen Jingyi back to the room, gently placed her on the bed, and carefully pulled up the corners of the quilt.

Then he said gently: "I'm a little busy these days, and I may not come back often. You just lie on the bed obediently and don't run around, okay?"

Shen Jingyi glanced at Dongmei, Qiukui and others who were standing by the bed with worried faces, then waved her hand to signal them to leave first.

After everyone left, Shen Jingyi looked at King Xuan and asked softly, "The matter of the palace maid is a bit complicated, isn't it?"

King Xuan knew that she was smart and was worried that if she knew nothing about this, she would start to have wild thoughts.

So he sat down beside the bed and answered honestly, "Yes, before she died, she pointed in the direction of Concubine Hui's palace and said the word 'Hui'.

Moreover, her death may also be to cover up some secret!

Therefore, my father has entrusted this matter to me to investigate."

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi said calmly and gently: "Then you should take care of your body and don't overwork yourself."

King Xuan looked at her tired little face, his eyes full of heartache.

"Don't worry, I'm a grown-up and I can take care of myself. Just take care of yourself and don't make me worry!"

Shen Jingyi nodded, "Don't worry about me, I have a lot of people around me who take care of me!"

At this point, Shen Jingyi laughed again, "And you also brought mother's cook back to the house, what else do you have to worry about, don't worry."

King Xuan smiled, then gently kissed her forehead, "Then you have a good rest, I'm going to the front yard."

After saying this, he got up and went out.

After King Xuan left, Xia Zhu and others came in again.

Dongmei asked worriedly, "Are you feeling better now, Concubine?"

Shen Jingyi looked at their worried faces and smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, I'm fine now, and the imperial physician also said that the child is fine.

Just told me to lie down for a few days, and I'll be fine in a few days."

"Concubine, in my opinion, you should not go out before the young master is born!

Otherwise, if you don't look for trouble, what will you do if trouble comes to you?" Xia Zhu advised worriedly.

Dongxue also agreed, "Yes, we heard that you fell in the palace today, and we were worried to death.

But the palace maids guarding there wouldn't let us go out.

There was an assassin behind us, it was really scary.”

As soon as Dongxue finished speaking, Qiukui glared at her and then scolded her, "Okay, shut up, can you please stop using the word death when you speak?

"You keep saying death all the time, but you don't know what to be cautious about."

Dongxue stuck out her tongue, smiled and stopped talking.

At this time, Chunliu's confident voice came, "Concubine, next time you go anywhere, take me with you, and I will keep you safe."

Shen Jingyi looked at them and smiled, feeling warm and touched in her heart.

She knew that these maids truly cared about her, which was why they were so nervous.

She silently remembered their kindness in her heart.

She gently touched her belly and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't go out anymore. I will stay in our house and take good care of the baby."

After saying this, she looked at Xia Zhu and ordered, "Xia Zhu, please arrange a separate room for the cook in the Queen's palace. She will stay there until I give birth.

During this period, she will take care of my diet together with our two cooks. I heard that she is also very good at making medicinal food.

During this period, please take good care of her and make sure she doesn't get wronged here."

Xia Zhu smiled and responded, "Concubine, don't worry, I will watch over it.

After all, she is the concubine of the Empress Shu, and there shouldn't be anyone among us who would be blind enough to bully her."

Shen Jingyi smiled and nodded.

At this time, Ling'er came in with a tray with a small bowl with a lid on it.

"Concubine, the medicine is ready. Please drink it while it's hot." Ling'er said softly.

Shen Jingyi frowned when she thought of the black medicine, but she had to drink it.

Except for the time when the imperial physician gave her a pill when she was in the palace, she hasn't taken any medicine since then.

Although she felt a little averse to the smell of the medicine, she decided to endure it for the sake of her child.

Xia Zhu gently helped her sit up and placed a soft pillow behind her back.

So that she can sit back and relax.

Then, Ling'er walked to the bedside holding the bowl of black medicine.

Shen Jingyi took the bowl of medicine without hesitation, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and drank it all in one gulp.

She swallowed it before the bitter taste spread in her mouth.

Then, a feeling of nausea came over me.

She suppressed the feeling until a while later, when it finally subsided.

Then she took the candied fruit that Dongmei brought and put one in her mouth.

The sweetness of the candied fruit gradually dispelled the bitterness in her mouth, making her feel much better.

After sitting for a while, Shen Jingyi lay down again with the help of Xia Zhu.

"Concubine, please take a nap first. When dinner is ready, I will bring it to you."

Shen Jingyi nodded. Not sure if it was the effect of the medicine, she fell asleep soon.
