All the concubines in the harem are time travelers

After Qiu Sheng said this, Li'er felt too embarrassed to look at the bamboo basket in her hand.

"Since it is the good intention of the Imperial Concubine, let it go."

She thought about taking it and throwing it into the small kitchen to collect dust.

She didn't dare to let the young lady use the things given by Concubine Jia.

Qiu Sheng responded repeatedly and put the bamboo basket on the ground, which was full of medicinal herbs.

He bent down, took out some Ophiopogon japonicus, White Peony Root and other medicinal herbs, and said with a smile.

"Eunuch Wang has told me that Lady Bu has a fever and it's because she got caught in the rain."

"These Ophiopogon japonicus and White Peony Root are good herbs for treating colds and fevers. My queen is reluctant to use them. Please, sister, make them for Noble Lady Bu to eat every day to nourish her."

Li'er didn't understand what the medicinal herbs she was talking about were. After thanking her, she picked up the bamboo basket and went to the small kitchen.

Yanzhi was busy in the small kitchen. When she saw Li'er put down a bamboo basket and left, she had no time to ask.

She walked forward, lifted the white cloth covering it, took out the medicinal herbs inside, and examined them carefully.

"Did someone from the Imperial Hospital just send it here?"

Yanzhi was talking to herself. Not long after Li'er went out, a palace maid she had never seen before came in.

Qiu Sheng walked in, puffed out his chest, looked around and his eyes fell on Yanzhi.

What medicinal herbs does such a young palace maid know about? They are just right for Her Majesty to use.

"Are you Noble Lady Bu's maid?"

She suddenly appeared in the Yiku Palace, but first asked who Yanzhi was. It can be seen that her identity is not ordinary and she is definitely not an ordinary palace maid.

Yanzhi immediately became respectful, bowed and said.

"Yes, my name is Yanzhi, and I am a maid in Yikun Palace."

In the entire Yikun Palace, Li'er is the only personal palace maid. Yanzhi and Zuoji are both menial palace maids assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is nothing that is not their turn to serve Bu Ji.

"Come on, I'll just be a maid."

"I'm going to tell you something, so you better listen carefully."

Qiu Sheng pretended to be arrogant and raised his chin to look at her.

Yanzhi nodded repeatedly and lowered her head slightly to listen to her instructions.

"These herbs were sent by the Imperial Hospital. Take them and boil them. Feed them to your young mistress. I guarantee she will be well tomorrow morning."

Yanzhi looked at the pile of herbs in the corner of the kitchenette and felt troubled.

The Emperor just had someone send over a lot of herbal medicine, and now the Imperial Hospital has sent over more. The young lady can't finish it all, and it's getting damp if she leaves it alone.

Qiu Sheng followed her gaze, reached out and grabbed her arm with a dignified look.

"What are you standing there for? Are you expecting me to take it back?"

"The medicines from the Imperial Hospital are naturally better than those sent by others. Please don't delay your young master's illness."

Rouge came back to her senses instantly and responded.

"Yes, take care."

She dared not delay the young lady's illness, or the emperor would have to kill her.

Before Qiu Sheng went out, she had already taken out all the herbs from the bamboo basket, washed them one by one and stuffed them into the red clay pot for decocting the medicine.

Put a small fire under the pot and fry it slowly. It will boil in a short while.

Yanzhi brought the medicine into the room. Li'er was sitting on a chair beside the bed with a sewing basket on her legs, embroidering an exquisite handkerchief from time to time.

Bu Ji leaned against the head of the bed, with a soft cylindrical pillow behind his head, holding a book in his hands, reading intently, with the expression on his face sometimes worried and sometimes happy.

"My lady, the medicine is here."

Yanzhi carried the medicine bowl, walked to the bedside, and called Bu Ji softly.

Bu Ji's eyes never left the book in his hand. He was about to take the bowl of medicine when Li'er suddenly raised his head, touched the edge of the bowl first, and snatched it away.

"and many more."

Li'er held the bowl and took a look at the medicine inside.

Although she was illiterate, she could recognize colors. The color of this bowl of medicine was obviously wrong; it was too dark.

"Rouge, where did you get this medicine?"

She moved the hand holding the medicine bowl further away so that Bu Ji wouldn't touch it.

Bu Ji put down the book in his hand, still unsatisfied, raised his head and asked Li'er casually.

"what happened?"

Li'er stood up, put down the sewing basket and the embroidered handkerchief, held the medicine bowl in one hand, and spoke cautiously.

"My dear, there is something wrong with this bowl of medicine."

"The color is too dark. It's not the medicine you've been drinking these days."

Bu Ji remained silent, tilted his head to look at Yanzhi, as if waiting for her to explain.

Yanzhi waved her hands repeatedly, her face turning pale with fear, and said.

"I don't know. These are all herbs sent by the Imperial Hospital. I just boiled the medicine."

"Maybe it took too long to boil it, so the medicine became thicker."

Li Er wanted to continue asking questions, but was interrupted by Bu Ji.

She just wanted Yanzhi to get out quickly. This girl could read, and it would be bad if she saw her reading Jingyun Biography.

"Okay, give me the medicine. It's just that the decocting time has passed, but it doesn't affect the efficacy."

"Li'er, you are too sensitive."

Bu Ji took the bowl of medicine and drank it all.

Li'er's mouth twitched twice, and he took back the empty bowl, praying that he was just being too suspicious.

She was frightened. Everything that happened that night was directed at the young lady, whether it was the Empress being invited to the Cining Palace or the imperial physician on duty being called to the Yanx Palace in advance, the purpose was only one, to put the young lady to death.

After several days, she was still afraid when she thought about it.

If I hadn't met Wang Huai that night, I'm afraid I would have been in great danger.

She has become so cautious now, out of helplessness.

When the day of the trip to the south of the Yangtze River was approaching, the Empress Dowager sent a message to the Emperor, saying that she was too old to go through the trouble anymore and would not accompany him on the trip. She did not go but asked the Emperor to bring his daughter, Princess Fuqiu, with him.

Cui Lihua also became anxious, and went to the Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager more and more frequently.

She didn't want Princess Fuqiu to follow the emperor. Everyone in the palace knew that Princess Fuqiu liked the emperor and was his childhood sweetheart.

Cui Lihua stayed in the Cining Palace for quite a while. With her presence, the palace maids beside the empress dowager all stepped aside, and she poured tea and water and talked to the empress dowager.

Fu Cha Yuxiu also came to the Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. When she saw the attentive Cui Lihua, she instantly became like a tender eggplant hit by frost, and her whole body became listless.

She was afraid of Cui Lihua, which was completely a shadow of her previous time travel.

When they were students, Cui Lihua bullied her a lot.

The Queen Mother truly liked Fucha Yuxiu, otherwise she would not have chosen her as the Queen.

The noble lady in the capital is calm and composed, and does not show her emotions on her face. Only such a woman is worthy of being the queen.

As for Cui Lihua, to the empress dowager, she was nothing more than an obedient and interesting cat or dog.

"As the queen, you can't spend all day tending to flowers and plants. You should think about how to give birth to a prince for the emperor."

When she heard the word "prince", Cui Lihua felt depressed and her face turned cold.

Fucha Yuxiu sat quietly aside and agreed without hesitation. The empress dowager nodded with satisfaction and then looked at Cui Lihua.

Seeing that Cui Lihua had a cold face, the empress dowager burst into laughter and pointed at her.

"Lihua, you are already a royal concubine, why do you always have a stern face?"
