Story of the Forbidden Palace - C97
“It’s rare today, Empress’s face is big.” Noble Consort Ling raised her voice and said to the empress, “Earlier, I invited all the sisters to gather at Shanglin Garden to admire the flowers. After that, Imperial Noble Consort invited all of her concubines to Jade Creek Pool, but his younger sister did not attend. It’s rare that you would be willing to come to the empress’s place to enjoy the moon with us today. ”
The Noble Consort Ling had just finished speaking, and then echoed again. Noble Consort Jiao looked at me with a smile that wasn’t a smile and said gently, “If that’s really the case, Imperial Concubine Shan will always come out of seclusion. It is not easy for us to see one, unless it is with the queen. ”
Noble Consort Jiao walked closer to me and carefully examined me. She extended her blue finger to caress my face and sighed. “It’s such a pity for sister. After all, it’s not a good thing to be cooped up in a sickbed all day.”
Her soft fingers carried some coldness, and the moonlight shone on Noble Consort Jiao’s flawless face, making it seem even more crystal clear. The sight of such a delicate and beautiful woman standing before him made one unable to look away from her gaze.
The Empress laughed: “Wanqing’s body is weak, so it is unavoidable for him to live in seclusion. Besides, the emperor had decreed that she should be allowed to recuperate. I also rarely see her, so Wanqing is only willing to come to my place to admire the moon today. Instead, I’ll make all of you eat your hearts, afraid that you’ll see too little of it. Come, Wanyue, hurry up and let everyone carefully look at you. ”
I raised my body and slowly kneeled down: “Wanqing is useless, I have troubled you all, my heart is not at ease. However, this body is simply too disappointing, and I am afraid that I might be tainted by someone else. Thus, I did not dare to leave the palace without permission. ”
Noble Consort Ling took a step forward to help me up, and then placed the embroidered handkerchief into my hands. Let the Emperor see it and think it was us who blamed you. ”
After all, it was within the Pilgrimage Palace. However, the empress still walked out from her sword and halberd, her displeased expression only flashed for a moment before she smiled elegantly, “Bi Wen, you make sense.” Wanqing, there’s no need to be so courteous to me as to admire the moon here. ”
Between the Empress and Noble Consort Ling, I seemed to be in a dilemma. All these days, even though I hid my strength, I was still unable to dispel the worry the Queen and Noble Consort Ling had for me. It seemed time to do what I had to do.
I had an ashamed look on my face as I lowered my head slightly. Thank you, Empress, for your advice. ” The empress gave a light “En” sound, and the Noble Consort Ling gave a gentle smile, not saying anything else.
Imperial Noble Consort, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke with a high-pitched voice, “What happened? Quickly, quickly send someone to get the royal physician. ”
Everyone’s eyes turned to look at Imperial Noble Consort, only to see Imperial Concubine Shu beside her curled up her body, both of her hands pressing hard on her abdomen. Her face was deathly pale and her red lips were black. Beads of sweat sparkled in the firelight.
Even though the Empress was calm, her voice was still trembling slightly. “What are you still standing there for, hurry up and help Imperial Concubine Shu go to her Lateral Temple and lie down. Why would she have abdominal pain just like that? You’ve only been pregnant for less than two months, what’s going on? ”
Observing the expressions on each of their faces secretly, the three who were pregnant were the highest ranked Imperial Concubine Shu, and had been in the palace for quite some time. Naturally, she was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, but she didn’t expect her movements to be so fast.
Seeing that the empress had given her orders, she arranged for the servants to send the Imperial Concubine Shu to the Lateral Temple, and also sent the servants to take care of him. She couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary. Noble Consort Ling was calm and even a little disdainful, but she did not seem to be pleased or relieved.
However, Imperial Noble Consort first noticed Imperial Concubine Shu’s discomfort, is it considered to be an intentional arrangement? The other concubines all had different expressions as well. There were people who were either panicking or taking pleasure in her misfortune, appearing to be in a fog.
The Empress said majestically: “Feng Dezi, go to the Kuncheng Palace and report this matter to the Emperor. The rest of the group moved to the West Branch Hall to wait. Since something has happened here, it would be better to wait for the imperial physician to come and find out the reason. ”
All of the concubines answered in unison. The empress called the Imperial Noble Consort and Four Imperial Consorts to head to the Lateral Temple to accompany them, waiting for the emperor’s arrival.
