"Aunt, you have sharp eyes and ears. Qingying really admires you. Fucha is having a difficult delivery today. If I don't stay away, won't I be covered in blood?"

Yixiu smiled and began to like Qingying more and more.

What kind of affection are we talking about?

The power in your hands is the most important thing.

I have lived my whole life, but I don't see things as clearly as she does.

"Hide your head and tail well, don't let anyone catch you."

"Don't worry, Aunt. Since Fucha became pregnant, she has not been deprived of the good things she should have. A difficult birth is inevitable."

Qingying tilted her face slightly, looking full of smiles, but her eyes were completely cold. "It's just that Qingying is cruel, which makes Aunt laugh."

"I'm embarrassed? What's there to be embarrassed about? As a member of the royal family, who can say that their hands have never been stained with blood?"

Yixiu's voice was flat, as if she didn't care about Fucha Langya's life at all.

Jianqiu was standing nearby and quietly looked up.

The aunt and niece were both as nonchalant and indifferent to all living things...

They were so similar that Jianqiu was shocked for a moment.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.

After a while, Huichun walked in, looking a little panicked.

"Empress, news has come from the Yangxin Palace that the Emperor has suddenly fainted!"

Yixiu's brows jumped, but her hands holding Yongqi did not tremble at all.

"Have you found out why you fainted?"

Huichun glanced at Qingying and seemed a little embarrassed to speak.

Yixiu seemed to have guessed something and didn't ask any more questions.

Then he asked, "Is there anyone else in the Yangxin Palace?"

"Your Majesty, the Shangshufang has received news that Prince Bao is already guarding the Yangxin Palace, and the imperial physicians have also gone there."

Yixiu stood up upon hearing this and said, "Since Hongli is here, then you should go with me to take a look. The emperor also wants to see Yongji."

Yixiu's voice sounded a little strange, which made Qingying feel a little suspicious.

The other party is...

Planning to attack the emperor?

Or have you already started?

The beeping sound in Qingying's heart was a little loud, making her look a little strange.

But Yixiu seemed unable to notice anything unusual about Qingying.

Holding the child, he took the lead and walked out.

Qingying's gaze swept across Jianqiu's face, who had not yet caught up with Yixiu.

Only then did he suppress the doubts in his heart, stand up and follow Yixiu's pace.

There was no conversation along the way, and soon the sedan chair landed outside the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

The concubines in the harem had not yet arrived, and except for a few suppressed cries coming from nowhere, the Yangxin Palace was silent.

Yixiu turned around and handed Yongqi to Qingying.

He supported Jianqiu and stepped through the door of the Yangxin Palace. "You wait outside now."

After he finished speaking, he didn't care what Qingying did and walked straight into the hall.

Outside the bedroom door, two concubines wearing the promised clothes knelt on the ground, crying non-stop.

Yixiu paused and said, "Why are you crying here?"

The tone was very sharp.

When the two heard the voice, they quickly moved their knees and turned around. "This concubine pays respects to the Empress, may the Empress be blessed with good health."

"What's wrong with the emperor's health? You were the ones serving him just now?"

The two men shuddered when they heard this and immediately knelt even lower.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Yixiu felt impatient and asked, "What? Do you want me to ask you this a second time?"

The voice was even colder, making the two even more frightened.

But since the queen asked, he had to answer.

The one on the left, who was dressed more flamboyantly, kowtowed to Yixiu and said, "Empress, I don't know what happened. The Emperor was talking to me when I suddenly vomited blood before I could even take a cup of tea..."

"Please understand, Your Majesty. I really don't know what happened..."

The two of them kept crying, but someone in the hall seemed to hear some noise and walked out quickly.

It was Zhang Mi.

"I would like to send my regards to the Queen."

"Well, how is the emperor?"

Zhang Mi bowed slightly and said, "In reply to the Empress, the Emperor seems to have been very weak recently, and his body has been damaged. I'm afraid he will need to rest and recuperate."
