Lu Qingtang took a bite of the fried cake, and the oily meat filling couldn't wait to come out. She immediately sucked the meat filling into her mouth again.
"It's okay Qingyao, don't worry. Concubine Shu is just too tired. If she sleeps a little longer, it won't be a problem." Lu Qingtang continued to deal with Qingyao.
Because it was a lie, Lu Qingtang naturally felt guilty, so guilty that he did not dare to look at Qing Yao.
Qing Yao seemed to sense Lu Qingtang's ambiguity.
But if you ask further, you will offend someone.
How dare she, a little palace maid, offend the prince's concubine?
Holding back the grievance in his heart, Qingyao walked out of the side hall.
Jiang Mei, who was tending flowers and plants in the corridor, immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Your concubine Shu hasn't woken up yet?"
"No, Princess Chen only said that she was fine, but why didn't she wake up when everything was fine?"
Qing Yao said, his eye circles turned red.
After Jiang Mei heard this, her eyes darkened.
She had been paying attention to Concubine Shu's movements since yesterday, and in order to better obtain information, she even approached Qing Yao.
Seeing that Qingyao is careless, it is even easier to use clichés.
Jiang Mei patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "It's okay. Princess Chen's medical skills are obvious to all, so you don't have to worry too much."
"But last time, Concubine Shu only slept for half an hour and woke up very quickly. Why did she sleep for so long this time? How could I not be worried?" Qingyao became more and more sad as he talked and couldn't help but fall asleep. tears.
Jiang Mei quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and then heard Qingyao continue: "Shu Fei is the best to me, but we must not let anything happen."
Jiang Mei was listening and thinking, fidgeting with the handkerchief and her mind running rapidly.
"Sister Jiang Mei, your new handkerchief is so beautiful. Did you embroider it yourself?" Qingyao noticed the handkerchief in Jiang Mei's hand.
The lotus flowers and leaves on the veil are lifelike, and it looks like a new veil at first glance.
Jiang Mei was thinking, not thinking about the handkerchief, so she nodded.
This veil was specially given to her by Su Mu a few days ago to thank her for taking care of him, but somehow, her old veil disappeared.
If it's lost, it's lost, it's just a veil.
"You mean the last time Princess Chen treated Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu didn't sleep for so long, right?" Jiang Mei confirmed to Qingyao.
Qingyao wiped his tears and nodded, continuing to be immersed in worry.
Jiang Mei comforted her a few words, brought her some snacks and cakes, and then said she was going to do her own business.
After leaving Longqing Palace, Jiang Mei came to the Imperial Garden. She waited for a while and saw Bingyun walking over.
In the past, the person she interacted with was a thin and small eunuch. She didn't know who he was. She only knew that he was from Prince Xian. How could he be Bingyun from Qingquan Palace today.
Only then did she remember that the ban on Qingquan Palace had been lifted.
Bingyun stepped forward and looked at Jiang Mei with a smile, "Sister Jiang Mei, long time no see."
Longqing Palace has always been unpopular in the palace, so Jiang Mei was naturally flattered when Bingyun took the initiative to greet her.
"Sister Bingyun, you are too polite. I wonder how Concubine Ning is doing? I still want to pay my respects to her." Jiang Mei also became polite.
The corners of Bingyun's mouth were curved, but there was no smile in her eyes. She said: "Your Majesty is very good, please worry about me. Why, my sister is not serving Princess Chen in Longqing Palace right now, so what are you doing here?"
"Concubine Shu was treating her arm in the side hall, but she didn't wake up all day and night. I wonder if something went wrong?" Jiang Mei said, looking in the direction of Longqing Palace.
Bingyun nodded, "I understand. I will go back and tell Concubine Ning that Sister Jiang Mei's contribution will not be forgotten."
After saying that, Bingyun nodded to Jiang Mei, turned and left.
After reporting the news, Jiang Mei returned to Longqing Palace and did her own thing as always.
Time passed little by little, and Lu Qingtang spent another day in suffering.
On this day, in addition to monitoring Concubine Shu's heartbeat, replenishing her strength, and continuing to make her sleepy.
She was waiting for Concubine Ning to take action. If she didn't come, all her efforts would have been wasted.
After another night, the first thing Lu Qingtang did when he woke up was to check Concubine Shu.
If Concubine Ning doesn't take action today, she will have to let Concubine Shu wake up. Sleeping for too long will damage her brain.
Finally, after giving Shu Fei some sleep medicine, Lu Qingtang put away the finger pulse oxygen and a series of instruments.
The dosage of the medicine is not heavy, and it can make Concubine Shu sleep for another two hours at most.
Two hours later, it was time to "sleep for two days" as Mo Zeqing said.
After breakfast, Lu Qingtang began to lie down on the rocking chair to rest. After a while, Su Mu walked in in a panic.
Lu Qingtang realized something, and with Su Mu's support, he walked out of the side hall calmly.
Outside Longqing Palace, Concubine Ning led a group of palace attendants from Qingquan Palace to guard the door.
Compared to a few months ago, Concubine Ning seemed to have a much smaller budget.
Although she has restored her position as a noble concubine and can leave Qingquan Palace, she no longer has the power to manage the harem.
During this period, the concubines of several concubines helped the queen take care of the house together, and they were very harmonious.
It can be seen that everyone's life is very comfortable without Concubine Ning in the harem.
"Isn't this the mother-in-law? Why are you here again? The daughter-in-law should go to Qingquan Palace to visit you. Recently, the daughter-in-law has been unhappy and unwell. I hope the mother-in-law is not to blame." Lu Qingtang held his waist with one hand and touched the bulge with the other. lower abdomen.
Concubine Ning's eyes were fixed on Lu Qingtang's belly, a hint of coldness flashed out. She slightly raised her lips and said to Lu Qingtang: "I don't blame you, concubine. You are precious because you are pregnant. Concubine, I came here specially today." It’s up to you.”
Concubine Ning said, raising her feet to go in, followed by the palace people behind her.
Following the pre-planned steps, Lu Qingtang immediately stepped in front.
"No, mother-in-law, there's nothing to see. Isn't the daughter-in-law nice? You've seen it too. If the daughter-in-law still has something to do, I won't keep the mother-in-law." Lu Qingtang curled his lips and smiled, his eyes full of teasing.
She was provoking Concubine Ning.
The traps laid out cannot be wasted, they must be used.
Didn't Concubine Ning just want to see Concubine Shu unconscious? Lu Qingtang refused to show it to her.
The purpose of this is also to lure her into the trap.
When Concubine Ning saw this, she immediately laughed, "Why, what happened some time ago still made Concubine Chen dissatisfied? Why didn't she even let her in?"
"How could it be? That incident was caused by villains. How could the daughter-in-law blame the mother and concubine?" Lu Qingtang smiled half-heartedly, "But today is really inconvenient. I will definitely come to the door in person another day to apologize to the mother and concubine."
Concubine Ning narrowed her eyes, "No need, just today."
She said, raising her hand and Bingyun next to her immediately stepped forward to help Lu Qingtang, "Princess Chen, let me help you. You have a big belly, so fall carefully."
While Bingyun was speaking, Concubine Ning raised her foot and was about to go in.
Lu Qingtang quickly winked at Su Mu. Su Mu understood and quickly blocked Concubine Ning's path.
