All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

The Queen Mother stood up, put one hand on the back of Xiu Yu's hand, glanced at Bu Ji, and said in a deep voice.

"The Queen is so majestic."

"Since you have asked me for someone, you must take good care of him. If anything happens, it will be your fault as the queen."

The guards let go of Cui Lihua and followed the Queen Mother.

In the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, only Bu Ji's people were left.

Cui Lihua got up from the ground and asked Bu Ji for help with tears on her face.

"What should I do? What should I do? The Queen Mother wants to kill me."

Even a fool could tell that the words the Queen Mother said before she left were a threat to Bu Ji.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Just take a good rest. I will tell the emperor when he returns tomorrow morning."

"I want to see, who will be the one to perish first, the Lin family or us."

Bu Ji's tone was calm and he was full of confidence.

If Li Ji had not sent secret guards before leaving, she would have been a little worried that the Queen Mother's people would kill her and Cui Lihua.

Cui Lihua looked at her doubtfully and said.

"You can't be lying to me."

Bu Ji pursed his lips and said helplessly.

"When have I ever lied to you? Wasn't it always you who lied to me?"

Cui Lihua lowered her head in embarrassment. She was such a proud person, like a swan, she always walked with her head held high.

"sorry."

"It was my fault for what happened in the past. Don't take it to heart."

Bu Ji didn't say anything and didn't take it to heart. How could it be possible? Cui Lihua wanted to kill her, but she failed every time.

If she had succeeded once, Bu Ji would have died long ago, and would not have had to wait until now to hear the words "I'm sorry".

"I'm not helping you because I want to save you."

"I want to save the emperor and the people of Chu and Jin."

Cui Lihua didn't care what her purpose was. She just wanted to survive. Even if she couldn't go back, she wanted to live well in Chujin State.

With her talent, even if she went to perform and dance in a restaurant, she could still eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day and live a life without worries about food and clothing.

She was not afraid at all of being driven out after the Queen Mother fell from power.

Now, she was eager to be kicked out.

However, the Empress Dowager's murderous intention was obvious. She would surely die if she left the palace. Only by staying in the Qianqing Palace and staying with Bu Ji could she save her life.

Li Ji liked Bu Ji so much and valued the child in her womb that he would never give the Queen Mother's people a chance to assassinate her.

Seeing that Cui Lihua didn't say anything, Bu Ji waved to Yanzhi to come over.

"Take Madam Cui to the back hall to stay. Also...you stay outside the door until dawn and don't have to come back."

Rouge said reluctantly, mumbling.

"I want to stay with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was so imposing just now that I am worried."

"Mrs. Cui is not a child anymore. Why does she need my care?"

The person she hated the most was Cui Lihua. In the past, Cui Lihua made things difficult for the Empress, and thus made things difficult for them as well.

Not only did she instruct the servants in the imperial kitchen to withhold their food rations, she also asked the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to use the worst materials to make palace dresses for them. She kept all these grievances in her heart.

She didn't expect that the Empress would ask her to take care of Cui Lihua. She was absolutely unwilling to do so.

"Go quickly."

"If anything happens to Madam Cui, I will hold you accountable."

Bu Ji could only change his expression and talk to Yanzhi, forcing her to take care of Cui Lihua in an imperative tone.

Although it is called care, it is actually just guarding.

Before the emperor returns, Cui Lihua must not get into any trouble, and her confession is very important.

"Yes, ma'am."

Yanzhi responded in a sullen voice.

She is the type of person who responds to tough situations but not soft ones. Ever since Bu Ji became the queen, she has developed a kind of arrogance in her bones. She lectures the palace maids all day long and acts like a big shot.

These were all trivial matters, and Bu Ji turned a blind eye to them.

But tonight's matter is of great importance and Yanzhi cannot act on her own.

After Yanzhi took Cui Lihua away, Bu Ji was still worried.

"Be auspicious."

She shouted outside the temple.

Zuoji came in trotting, his hat still stained with dew. It seemed that it was almost dawn outside.

"My lady, I am here."

Bu Ji walked to the table, picked up a brush, wrote a letter and handed it to Zuoji.

"You take this letter to Lord Liang Xingliang of the Honglu Temple."

"Once he reads the letter, someone will naturally come to the palace."

Zuoji nodded, took the letter with both hands, stuffed it into his sleeve, and trotted out.

The sky was dim and half-light, with a few candles flickering with red lights.

Bu Ji walked to the door, leaned against the door frame, held his belly with one hand, and looked at the square sky above his head.

"The Forbidden City is about to change."

Li'er came out with a cloak and gave her another piece of clothing.

"Yes, my lady, winter is coming soon."

"Every autumn rain brings a chill, which means the weather is going to change."

Bu Ji had a blank expression on her face, her eyes looking into the distance. She couldn't sleep at all, and she didn't know what Li Ji and Prince Yu were doing.

Drinking or appreciating paintings?

At this critical juncture, Li Ji is not in the Forbidden City.

She went to Liangxing to inform Prince Xing of his intention to rebel, and also wanted someone to help Li Ji.

Before Prince Xing rebelled, he would definitely try to control all the civil and military officials in the court.

Either by placing his family members under house arrest or by using coercion or bribery, in short, all the officials in the court had to be controlled in order to drive Li Ji off the throne.

She was not familiar with any of the senior officials in the court.

Only Lianghang knows the inside and outside of the matter.

Based on Bu Ji's original memory, she dared to guarantee that Liang Xing was an upright gentleman and a loyal minister who cared about the country and the people.

The Liang family has assisted wise emperors for generations, and his loyalty to Li Ji is trustworthy.

Li'er stood outside with her for a while and advised her.

"My lady, you finally fell asleep, but you were woken up again."

"Why don't you go in and rest for a while? It's almost dawn. I'll stay in the yard and make sure no one comes in to disturb you again."

Li'er was worried about her health. The imperial physician said that twins are usually born in seven or eight months. Now the baby in the empress's belly is more than six months old, and it is almost time for her to give birth.

The Queen needs to rest more and eat more so that she will have the strength to give birth.

Su'er prepares medicinal food for the Empress to protect the fetus every day, using only the best ingredients.

The queen could eat some, but her energy and spirit were getting weaker day by day, and her body was tired.

Su'er said that this was all normal, but Li'er was worried.

She thought of her Madam, and vaguely remembered that it was the same when her Madam was pregnant with the Empress. As the delivery approached, she seemed to be getting worse day by day, even though she was fine before and could eat and sleep well.

It’s as if... as if God had arranged it this way on purpose.

Li Er didn't dare to think any further, so he could only clasp his hands together and silently pray to all the gods to bless his mother to give birth to a prince safely.

"I can't sleep. Go and ask around. It will take a few hours for the Emperor to arrive at the palace gate."

Bu Ji shook his head and said in a deep voice.

Li'er responded and walked towards Donghuamen.

When Bu Ji came to his senses again, he found that all the people close to him had been sent away by her, leaving only a few servants sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs working in the distance.

She disliked the noise and did not hire any more palace servants to serve her personally, but now she felt that there were not enough people.
