Comprehensive film and television: Every time I dress up as a supporting role
Chapter 31 Daily Life of the Maids Around Concubine Fang 4
During the meal, Qu Lian added a key point that she had not finished saying.
She took a small bite of a soup dumpling, and the rich, fragrant juices bubbled out. Because the food had been well-insulated during delivery, the food was still emitting steam. After taking a bite of the moderately salty soup dumpling, her hungry taste buds were slightly satisfied, and she spoke softly:
"My lady, I also saw it. It was Xiao Luozi who handed the small jar to Tian'er. They are the two of them in the same group. As for Xiao Xizi, apart from his suspicious behavior, I haven't discovered what he has done yet."
“It’s Xiao Luozi?!”
Fang Chang was surprised. She thought the spy was most likely Xiao Xizi, but she didn't expect it to be the seemingly normal Xiao Luozi.
The young eunuch usually worked diligently and never talked much in front of his master. He never made jokes to please his master. He was as quiet as a mute and looked like an honest man.
But he did something great without making any noise, selling out his master for fame and fortune.
"It was me. I saw it with my own eyes." Qu Lian's voice became even lower. "Let's find a chance to deal with Tian'er and Xiao Luozi."
Having a spy around you is like a time bomb that may explode at any time.
Even if they don't let the two of them serve them personally, if they come to slander her, it will be enough for Fang Chang to drink a pot.
The people around you must be loyal.
Fang Changzai: "If you want to deal with them, find a reason and send them back to the Imperial Household Department. It's easy to deal with them, but it's hard to guarantee the loyalty of new people who come to serve me. I'm afraid they can be bribed."
"You are the only one I can trust wholeheartedly." Fang Chang said sadly.
When talking about this topic, she lost her appetite, but for the sake of her health, she still ate until she was 80% full before putting down her chopsticks.
"I only trust you." Qu Lian said casually.
Seeing that she didn't want to eat anymore, Qu Lian gobbled up the remaining soup dumplings, vegetable and lean meat porridge, and a few side dishes.
In order to have a good body, Qu Lian trains every day when she has time. She also has to work hard on weekdays, so naturally her appetite has increased. She feels like she has endless energy and is very satisfied with her physical condition.
Fang Changzai asked casually, "What about Xia Dongchun? Between me and her, who do you trust the most?"
Qu Lian: "Of course it's you."
Fang Changzai smiled with satisfaction.
Qu Lian didn't understand why she was arguing about this, so she simply stopped talking. She cleaned up the table, put the dishes into the food box, and prepared to go to the imperial kitchen.
After delivering the items, Qu Lian went to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine for Fang Changzai. She ordered some warming and nourishing medicine, which was good for the health of both ordinary people and pregnant women.
Fang Chang suffered a lot during her pregnancy. The ingredients provided by the imperial kitchen could only provide her with the basic nutrients her body needed, but it was not enough to nourish her body.
In order to seduce the emperor, Qu Lian deliberately restrained her efforts and did not give her full attention to Fang Changzai's recovery. Now that Fang Changzai has become the master, she can finally do whatever she wants to recover her health.

In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the imperial doctors share a tongue, but the tongue also has its own taste buds, which can taste different flavors.
Qu Lian already knows that the imperial physicians who cannot be trusted include: Zhang Mi, who is eager for power and money and willing to sacrifice his life for the Queen; Liu Bin, Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Shen who are under Concubine Hua.
The others are probably all working for the emperor, at least for now.
As for the emperor's own death in the later period, his body functions had problems and he was beyond help, but no imperial physician dared to point it out. It was actually a collective rebellion of the imperial physicians, and it was also a difficult situation.
First, the emperor was about to die, and if the imperial physician pointed out that he could not be cured, he would be punished at the very least, or buried with the emperor;
Secondly, if he didn't point it out, at most the emperor's terminal illness could not be saved due to poor medical skills, but at least his head would be saved.
The only imperial physician who could be trusted for the time being was Wen Shichu. Although he liked Zhen Huan, he treated the palace maids and eunuchs equally and did not look down on anyone. Qu Lian always asked him to prescribe medicine.
Sometimes, when Huanbi came to see Doctor Wen, she would run into Qu Lian getting medicine. They would chat for a while when they met, and after a while, Qu Lian unexpectedly became a familiar face to Huanbi.
Occasionally, when Huanbi and Zhen Huan chatted, they would mention Qu Lian. Huanbi was self-righteous, but she also had her own set of ideas about making friends. She found that Qu Lian's words often seemed to protect Concubine Fang, so she thought Qu Lian was a loyal person. Huanbi then developed some affection for Qu Lian. As time went by, the two became friends who could greet each other when they met.
After getting the medicine from Doctor Wen, Qu Lian saw that it was still early, so she went straight to the cold palace.
Shen Meizhuang was able to take Zhen Huan to the cold palace openly because the guards did not dare to stop her, and Qu Lian knew the guards.
Qu Lian had bribed almost all the guards serving in the cold palace, and her bribery was very successful. No guard could resist the temptation of money.
But among them, only the guard who brought meat buns to Qu Lian at the beginning was the most talkative and not so greedy. Qu Lian sincerely hoped that he would take up the post.
From a distance, Qu Lian saw that it was a talkative guard. She was delighted and walked over to speak, but the guard said, "Go in and come out quickly."
"Thank you." Qu Lian stuffed a purse into his hand.
The guard put it in his arms and hid it. The key is to get the job done for money, and it's a tacit understanding.
Xia Dongchun was taking a walk with the little palace maid to help digest their food and exercise at the same time.
Although her father had no ability to rescue her or hire a royal physician for her, he had secretly renovated her living quarters by spending money like crazy. She also had silver charcoal and had all the quilts and clothes she needed for the winter. Apart from being bored and having to endure the harassment from the madman from time to time, her life in the cold palace was actually quite good.
There is no queen with a hypocritical heart and a sweet mouth, no terrifying Nian Shilan who would give her a lash of scars even if her eyes rolled to the sky, and no Zhen Huan's group who would talk back at her with sweet words. She just sleeps, eats, and sleeps every day. If it weren't for Qu Lian's advice to keep in shape and not get fat, Xia Dongchun would have developed horizontally long ago.
Xia Dongchun was chatting with the palace maid when she saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. She was startled and then turned her head abruptly. She saw a palace maid in light yellow clothes and a green hairpin walking towards her with a free and easy posture and a pretty face. If it wasn't Qu Lian, who else could it be?
"You still remember to come back to see me."
Xia Dongchun walked over excitedly, his lips trembling. When he reached Qu Lian, he only said this one sentence, then turned his body and turned sideways without looking at the other person. However, from his tone, one could hear that all the grievances were hidden in it.
"It's cold in winter, I'm too lazy to go out." It had been a month since the last time she secretly visited Xia Dongchun. Qu Lian reached out and hooked her hand around Xia Dongchun's braid, smiling playfully, "I'm here now, aren't I? Look what I brought you."
She took out a sachet from her bosom and hung it directly on Xia Dongchun's waist. "It contains warming and nourishing herbs. Wear it and smell it often. It will be good for your health."
"Did you embroider this?" Xia Dongchun was easily coaxed into submission. She looked at it again and again in surprise and delight. "It's beautiful, and the stitches are so detailed."
"Well, that's not the case. I asked someone else to embroider it," Qu Lian said honestly. "I don't have the time to embroider in winter. My hands are freezing."
Although she didn't embroider it herself, she carefully selected and dried the herbs and then stuffed them into the pattern herself. How could that not be considered a token of her thoughtfulness?
Xia Dongchun felt a little disappointed that Qu Lian hadn't made it herself, but since it was a gift from Qu Lian, she wasn't disappointed. She happily took Qu Lian's hand and asked, "Frozen hands? Let me check if you have frostbite."
But apart from the skin being a little rough, there was nothing serious wrong with him.
After all, she was a personal maid serving the young lady. The rough work she did was just sweeping the floor. It was not her turn to do any work involving cold water, so naturally she would not get hurt.
After staying in the cold palace for a while, Qu Lian took the opportunity to check the pulse of Xia Dongchun and the young palace maid to check their physical condition. It was almost time, so she said goodbye to Xia Dongchun who was reluctant to leave and returned to Xianfu Palace.
The days passed peacefully until the arrival of early spring. Fang Changzai was four months pregnant and her belly was about to be hidden. She pretended to be unwell and asked the imperial physician to diagnose her pregnancy.
With the imperial physician and servants present, Fang Chang pretended to be surprised and said with joy:
"Tian'er, go and report this to the Queen!"
Tian Er glanced at Fang Fangchangzai with complicated eyes, then accepted the order and said, "Yes, I will go right away."
The imperial physician's eyes flashed, and he remembered the horrible "tradition" in the palace that whoever got pregnant would have a miscarriage. He sighed, prescribed a few pregnancy-preserving pills for Concubine Fang, and then bowed and left.
The harem is about to stir up trouble again...
His career has ushered in a new wave of challenges. May God bless him...
