The queen didn't know what the rich lady was thinking. She saw that she only had one maid, Sonny, with her. She was now very sick.
Thinking that the noble Fucha was always respectful to her, the queen turned to Huichun and ordered,
"I don't feel at ease if the noble Fucha returns like this. Please have someone prepare a warm sedan to send the noble Fucha back."
"Slave, I obey."
After the nobleman Fucha thanked the queen, he was supported by Sonner and left. As soon as everyone left, the Queen's energy, which she had managed to revive, declined.
Sitting on the chair, the queen closed her eyes, tilted her head, supported her head with her right hand, and kept massaging her temples.
Seeing this, Jianqiu hurriedly stepped forward to massage the queen and said, "My queen is not fully recovered yet. She has been tired all morning. I will help you to take a rest in the Nuan Pavilion."
The Queen closed her eyes tightly, obviously very tired, and shook her head sleepily, "No, I just need to sit here for a while."
"The emperor is about to wake up, and I have to take care of him."
Jianqiu said anxiously, "But how can your body bear it?"
The queen opened her eyes, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the little eunuch guarding outside, and said feebly,
"My body is nothing, the emperor's affairs are important."
Jianqiu saw the queen's profound look in her eyes and understood after a moment's surprise.
This is the Yangxin Palace, not the Jingren Palace. She feels sorry for the queen, but it's in the wrong place.
Jian Qiu said, "This servant is wrong. Fortunately, the imperial doctor said that the emperor is not seriously ill."
"It's just that no matter how anxious I am, I still have to take care of my own health. Otherwise, the emperor is not fully recovered yet and you are sick again. How should you get better!"
A very forced smile appeared on the corner of the queen's mouth, and she did not speak. She just looked worriedly in the direction of the dormitory, as if everything was unspoken.
Outside the flower hall, Xiao Xiazi came to report to the queen on Su Peisheng's order that Big Fat Orange had woken up.
Unexpectedly, I saw this just as I was about to go in, I thought to myself.
The Queen's concern for the Emperor is beyond words, but the Emperor has always been very cold towards the Queen.
He clearly knew that Concubine Hua had been provoking the Queen in every possible way over the years, even subverting her superiority and inferiority, openly mocking the Queen. Not only did the emperor not ask questions, but he also condoned it.
Xiao Xiazi suddenly felt that the emperor was no different from those men outside who spoiled their concubines and destroyed their wives.
Shocked that she dared to think like this, Xiao Xiazi slapped her face to wake her up.
Whatever the emperor does is right, and whatever is wrong is also right. There is no need for him, a slave, to feel it!
After rubbing the side of her face that hurt from being slapped, Xiao Xiazi quickly put on her signature smile, raised her legs and walked in.
"This servant has come to see the Queen. The master asked the servant to come over and report to the Queen that the Emperor has woken up."
The Queen was feeling depressed and worried just now. When I heard the news that Big Fat Orange had woken up, I felt like I was hearing the news of Xian Le, and he said in surprise,
"Really? It's really great. Jianqiu, help me over."
Jianqiu said with a smile, "Yes, the empress can finally feel relieved now."

When the queen passed by, Big Fat Orange was half-lying on the bed, with three or four double-dragon-playing-beads pillows leaning against his back.
His eyelids were closed, revealing a slit, and he was obviously not energetic. He slumped there, and Su Peisheng fed him porridge.
Seeing the queen come in, her eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't tell unless she looked carefully.
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."
Big Fat Orange said weakly, "The Queen is here."
The queen stepped forward, took the porridge from Su Peisheng's hand, and while feeding Big Fat Juice the porridge, she said with concern, "I am always here."
"The Queen came over after knowing the news, but the emperor was still asleep, so she went back to Shoukang Palace to pray for the emperor."
"Your Majesty, do you feel better now?"
Big Fat Orange said, "Thank you for your hard work, Queen. I'm much better now."
"Where is Concubine Hua? Why didn't you see her?"
If it were before, at this time, the queen heard Big Fat Orange ask why Concubine Hua was not there. No matter how decent your appearance is, there will still be some grudges exposed.
Of course this time is no exception...
The smile on the queen's face faded a lot, and the movements of her hands were not as coherent as before.
"All the sisters came here just now, but the emperor is not awake yet. I was worried that too many people would disturb the emperor's peace, so I met all the concubines in the flower hall."
"The Emperor's mother ordered the concubines to take turns attending to the emperor's illness. My concubine is not in good health. During this period, Concubine Hua has been in charge of the affairs of the harem, and she is doing a good job."
"So Concubine Hua will draft the regulations for serving the sick. I think it won't be long before she comes over."
The queen finished feeding the bowl of porridge and wiped the corners of Big Fat Orange's mouth with a silk handkerchief. So what if Mu Yitianxia has nothing to do with her? She has nothing left over these years.
Why hadn't she noticed before that, after being married for many years, there was nothing left to talk about between the two of them except other women?
