Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Chapter 26: Concubine Chun and Concubine Xian

"I still have many government affairs to deal with. Yonglian, you must take good care of your health. Queen, thank you for taking good care of me."

After saying this, the emperor slowly stood up, and everyone knelt down and saluted him.

At this moment, the emperor's eyes could not help but glance at Wei Yingluo who was kneeling on the ground, and then he snorted and said, "Wei Yingluo, I order you to do your best to treat her. If you can cure Yonglian, I will reward you handsomely."

"As you command, I will do my best." Wei Yingluo kowtowed in response, showing her utmost respect.

However, in reality, after her rebirth, Wei Yingluo still felt a little awkward when facing the emperor...

However, for the Queen, Wei Yingluo knew that she could never be a concubine again in her life.

After achieving his wish, at the age of 25, he left the Forbidden City that imprisoned his body and mind to appreciate the vast and magnificent rivers and mountains and truly live for himself.

She thought to herself that her long-cherished wish in her previous life to travel south by boat and taste the delicious lychees from Lingnan had not yet come true.

At this moment, the emperor walked away, and Concubine Gao said softly: "Empress, now that the Second Prince has awakened, I am no longer able to help him. You should return to the palace and confine yourself."

In fact, Concubine Gao was thinking in her heart that since Concubine Jia had passed away, Yongcheng was in urgent need of a mother, so she had to return to the palace quickly and perform well.

"That's great. I will take care of this place. Concubines, if you don't have important matters, please leave." The Queen felt exhausted after going through all the events of the day, so she waved her hand for everyone to leave.

"Empress, I am willing to stay here with you." Concubine Chun stared at the Queen's haggard face and couldn't help feeling worried.

"You are still ill. Don't let Yonglian's illness affect you. Go back and rest." The Queen looked at Concubine Chun with worried eyes, and her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze brushing against Concubine Chun's ears.

She knew very well that Concubine Chun was frail and sickly, and she couldn't help but worry more about this delicate woman.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it would be better to let Wei Yingluo check Concubine Chun's pulse as well. It's not good for her health if she's always sick." Concubine Xian said with concern, her tone sincere and genuine.

Her originally dignified and beautiful face now looked even more amiable, and her eyes were filled with genuine concern.

Wei Yingluo stared at Empress Xian in front of her and sighed inwardly.

All the past events came to her mind, making her feel overwhelmed with emotion.

Concubine Xian loved the emperor deeply, but she was too harsh on herself because her family had been struggling for power and status all their lives, only to end up with such a tragic ending.

If her parents and family were still alive, perhaps she would not become so scheming and unscrupulous, and could remain gentle and kind like she is now and live a peaceful and tranquil life.

"Yingluo, come here and check Concubine Chun's pulse." The Queen called softly, worry evident in her tone.

Concubine Chun hastily declined, "Don't bother me, Empress. This is just an old illness. I always get a little chilly at the turn of winter and spring. It's nothing serious."

However, the Queen Mother insisted that Wei Yingluo treat Concubine Chun, and she insisted that the case should not be taken lightly.

"You should take care of your health and have a prince of your own as soon as possible." The queen always took good care of Concubine Chun.

Wei Yingluo walked over slowly, bowed to Concubine Chun, and began to take her pulse.

As for Concubine Chun, Wei Yingluo always felt that she was very contradictory. If she resented the Empress from the beginning, why did she take care of her in every way? And why did she want to murder the Seventh Prince later? Was it just because of her own son?

After taking the pulse, Wei Yingluo had more doubts in her heart. Concubine Chun was obviously in good health. It was normal for her to have some symptoms of cold, but her physical condition was definitely not as she showed. She was clearly not frail and sickly.

"Yingluo?" Seeing that Wei Yingluo was silent after taking the pulse, the Queen couldn't help but become curious and asked softly.

However, only Wei Yingluo herself knew that things were far from that simple. Why did she never compete for favor when she had such a good body, and then suddenly became a different person?

She is more and more convinced that Concubine Chun must have a secret that is unknown to others, and this secret is likely related to the Queen. But what exactly is it? Wei Yingluo decides to investigate the matter secretly...

"In reply to the Queen, Concubine Chun is in good health. She just caught a cold a few days ago. Now she just needs to recuperate for a while and she will naturally be able to recover to her former health." Wei Yingluo answered firmly.

However, she knew very well that there might be other hidden secrets behind Concubine Chun's illness, so she did not reveal too much truth to the Queen.

At this moment, a subtle strange look flashed across Concubine Chun's face. After all, she was a little uneasy about whether she had been found out by the emperor while pretending to be sick.

But then he thought, this little palace maid in front of him is only in her teens, how good of a medical skill can she have?

So, Concubine Chun continued to smile and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your concern, and thank you, Miss Yingluo. I will take my leave first and will go back to rest well."

Wei Yingluo stared at Concubine Chun's back as she left and her expression that changed in an instant, and she became more and more convinced of her judgment - Concubine Chun's illness this time was most likely intentional.

So the question is, what is her purpose in doing this? Questions kept coming to her mind, causing Wei Yingluo to fall into deep thought...

If her ambition was the same as when she was Concubine Chun, then why did she want to be on good terms with the Empress Dowager and put her first in everything now?

But how could they become enemies in the blink of an eye? I must be extremely careful to keep an eye on Concubine Chun from now on, after all, she was the one who murdered the Empress and the Prince.

"Empress, if that's the case, then I won't disturb Second Prince's rest. If you need my care, I'll come back."

When Concubine Xian saw that Concubine Chun had already bowed and left, she realized that it would be inappropriate for her to stay here any longer, so she hurriedly asked for her resignation to the Empress.
