They are all delicate young ladies and don't like to serve others.

Therefore, no one took advantage of this opportunity.

Even when Queen Wang glanced at them, they did not react at all.

Until Queen Wang said weakly: "Let it be. Chen Qiuyan stays, and the other concubines return to Liuli Pavilion!"

One of the concubines had run out of patience and finally got to see the emperor, so naturally she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

She mustered up the courage to ask, "Your Majesty, we have been living in the palace for almost half a year, and you still haven't turned over our names?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of the other beauties all fell on him intently.

Xiao Ling coldly refused: "I hate people who talk too much. Do I need you to tell me what to do? Come on, drag her away!"

The concubine was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will never say anything more!"

However, Xiao Ling turned a deaf ear and let her be dragged away.

The remaining few people did not dare to stay and retreated immediately.

When only Chen Qiuyan was left in the palace, Xiao Ling said in a deep voice, "Take good care of the Queen. This is a test for you. If you can do this well, and the Queen recovers, I will make you a virtuous concubine!"

Chen Qiuyan was overjoyed and quickly agreed, "Yes, I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations!"

Xiao Ling got up and left, and Chen Qiuyan began to feed medicine to Queen Wang.

After three days of hard work, Lin Yiwan finally prepared a good medicine for Queen Wang to replenish her qi and blood.

She hurried into the palace and even brought Zhan Miao with her.

Although Queen Wang still looked bad, a smile appeared on her pale little face when she saw Zhan Miao.

She waved at her: "Little Meow, have you grown taller recently?"

Zhan Miao almost couldn't recognize her. Before she entered the palace, she was very naughty and very strong.

How come she entered the palace and became the most honorable queen in the world, but became so thin?

Everything she wore was the most luxurious, but there was still a deep sorrow hidden between her brows.

It seems that she was not happy in the palace.

She turned to look at Lin Yiwan: "Mother, should we take the Queen out of the palace? I'm afraid her health is being crushed by the rules here!"

Lin Yiwan subconsciously looked at Queen Wang, only to see her smiling and shaking her head: "Meow, this is the path I chose myself. I don't find it hard at all. On the contrary, I'm very happy because the Emperor protects me!"

Zhan Miao stepped forward and hugged her arm: "Humph, if the emperor didn't protect you, I would beat him!"

王皇后伸手点了点她的鼻子:“皇上最疼你,哪怕挨了你的揍,他也不会还手的!”

After the two of them laughed and joked for a while, Queen Wang felt so tired that she could hardly breathe.

Lin Yiwan quickly gave her some medicine, and she did feel better.

She introduced Chen Qiuyan to Lin Yiwan: "This is Miss Chen from the Grand Secretary's Mansion. She is not only well-educated and well-mannered, but also has great literary talent. More importantly, she can help the Emperor process memorials!"

Lin Yiwan was quite surprised. She didn't expect that Queen Wang had found a successor so quickly.

She saw that Chen Qiuyan knew how to act appropriately, which was quite good indeed.

He just stood by and listened attentively, without saying a word, and with a straight face and eyebrows. This is already very precious.

Zhan Miao also liked her very much, so she thanked her: "Sister Chen, thank you for taking care of the Queen. Thank you for your help!"

She waved her hands quickly: "It's not a bother. It's my duty to serve the Empress and I dare not take credit for it!"

Zhan Miao held her hand and stuffed all his snacks into her palm.

She said mysteriously, "The most delicious sugar-roasted chestnuts, I won't share them with others easily!"

Chen Qiuyan showed a shy smile on her face and carefully put the sugar-roasted chestnuts into her sleeves.

Soon the news that Lin Yiwan was treating the queen spread throughout the harem, and the fact that the queen's health was gradually deteriorating became known to everyone.

The beauties in Liuli Pavilion were extremely regretful. If they had known that tending to the Queen was the process of selecting the successor, they would have stayed in Weiyang Palace at all costs.

Now Chen Qiuyan has gotten the upper hand and is almost vomiting blood in anger.

Du Lingzhi, the concubine who originally lived in the same palace with her, hated her so much that she almost bit her teeth. They had been in and out together before, but she, Chen Qiuyan, had become a phoenix, while she still had to starve in the Glazed Pavilion!

She is so jealous!

Just as she was feeling upset, a woman suddenly walked in from outside, startling her so much that her expression suddenly changed: "Who are you?"

The visitor lowered his voice and said, "Du Lingzhi, are you willing to accept this? Chen Qiuyan is clearly inferior to you in every way. Your father was the current Marquis of Dingxiang, and your ancestors also made military achievements. Yet, you've been upstaged by an unknown young woman. She's about to become the next empress, while you're stuck in this Liuli Pavilion wasting your time!"

Du Lingzhi was aroused with strong hatred. Yes, she had been in this Liuli Pavilion for a long time. What was the difference between her and a bird trapped in a cage?

It would be fine if she could become a superior person, but the fact that her appearance was gradually changed by wear and tear was the most unbearable thing.

She almost lost her mind!

However, when facing a strange woman, he still remained vigilant.

She frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why have I never seen you in this Liuli Pavilion?"

The woman sat down beside her and whispered in her ear, "My last name is Jing, and my name is Shu'er. Have you forgotten? Before you entered the palace, your father took you to Luyang City. I gave you a set of priceless ice flower porcelain!"

Du Lingzhi's eyes lit up: "Are you Sister Shu'er? How did you come to Liuli Pavilion?"

"Shh!" Jing Shuer winked at her.

Du Lingzhi nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I won't tell you, but you can tell me secretly, what are you doing in Liuli Pavilion?"

Jing Shu'er sighed helplessly, "Of course I want to help my silly sister. I heard that the Queen's health is failing, and before she dies, she wants to choose a successor for the Emperor from among the concubines!"

Du Lingzhi said dejectedly, "I've heard that too, but I'm not as scheming as Chen Qiuyan. I'm afraid I've missed my chance!"

Jing Shu'er held her hand tightly and said, "Silly sister, I risked my life to come to the palace to help you. Of course, I didn't do it all for you. You should have heard that the porcelain from our Luyang City has been taken away by Suzhou City!"

Du Lingzhi's original doubts were dispelled in an instant. She didn't believe that Jing Shuer would help for no reason.

As long as you have a plan!

She quickly assured him, "Sister Shu'er, don't worry. As long as I can become the empress, I will convince the emperor to choose porcelain from Luyang City again!"

Jing Shuer narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I know that Sister Lingzhi values ​​friendship, so please keep me by your side and make plans for you!"
