Chapter 142 Worry
Although the Yikun Palace was filled with the drama of sisterly love, after Hailan's departure, Ruyi was still immersed in the grief of losing her daughter. She sat by the window all day, gazing at the once bustling courtyard with sorrow.
Rong Pei felt unhappy after seeing this, so she specially found a good time to go to the Yangxin Palace to look for Li Yu.
"Aunt Rong Pei, why are you here today? Is there something the Queen needs?"
Seeing Rong Pei coming to look for him, Li Yu hurried to a secluded place to listen to her.
"Eunuch Li Yu, the Empress has been in a bad mood recently. Since the Fifth Princess passed away, she has also been devastated. Could you please find an opportunity to have the Emperor come to Yikun Palace to persuade the Empress? He is the Empress's husband, and one word from him is more effective than a hundred words from outsiders like us..."
Rong Pei briefly stated the purpose of her visit today.
Hearing this, Li Yu looked embarrassed: "The emperor is worried about the queen, and he will naturally go to the Yikun Palace when he has time. However, the Qing Dynasty and the Junggar have been at war recently, and the emperor has been discussing military affairs with Master Fuheng for several days, so he has not entered the harem for a long time..."
Seeing him in such a dilemma, Rong Pei was at her wit's end and could only sigh, "Since the Emperor is busy, forget it. Let's have someone summon the old lady to the palace to try and persuade her later."
Seeing Rong Pei about to leave, Li Yu hurriedly stopped her.
He recalled the kindness he had received from the Empress. If the Empress had not found a way to get rid of Wang Qin, he would still be an inconspicuous eunuch, bullied and trained by Wang Qin everywhere.
Thinking back to when he was punished by Wang Qin, it was Ruyi, then Empress Xian, who personally applied medicine to him...If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be the Grand Steward of the Imperial Court today.
Li Yu thought about this and knew it was his turn to repay his gratitude. He made up his mind and agreed: "This is not a difficult thing. When the emperor is free, I will find an opportunity to speak to him. I also ask Aunt Rong Pei to go back and take good care of the queen. Let her relax. We who are still alive still have to live a good life, right..."
Rong Pei nodded, deeply moved. "Then I'll trouble you, Eunuch Li Yu. Your Majesty needs help, so I'll be going back first..."
After Rong Pei left, a man with a sad face walked out from the darkness. It was Ling Yunche.
He had grown a beard since the fire, and the burn scars on his face were somewhat covered up, so if you didn't look closely you wouldn't be able to tell he had been injured.
"Is the Queen still not doing well?" Ling Yunche came close to Li Yu and asked with a concerned look on his face.
He was just passing by, but when he heard Rong Pei mention the Queen, he stopped unconsciously. Hearing that the Queen was not doing well, his heart felt like it was being grabbed by someone, and he couldn't breathe.
Ling Yunche knew that the death of the fifth princess was a great blow to Ruyi, and he felt a dull pain in his heart knowing that she was not doing well.
They have known each other for many years, and Ling Yunche felt very distressed when he thought of the difficulties Ruyi had gone through along the way.
Li Yu nodded with a look of worry on his face, then turned and said, "The Fifth Princess is gone, which is a great blow to the Empress. I'd like to ask the Emperor to go and give her some advice when he's free. She's pregnant, so how can she withstand the ordeal? Lord Ling, please be busy first. I still have to go in and serve the Emperor..."
Li Yu didn't notice that something was wrong with Ling Yunche. After he finished speaking, he hurried back to work, leaving Ling Yunche standing there in a daze.
Ling Yunche stood there in a daze, and couldn't help but clench the fist hanging at his side.
Some people are happy that someone is worried.
Unlike the dead Yiku Palace, Yongshou Palace has been quite lively these days.
Ever since Jinzhong started coming more often, Yanwan's appetite had gradually improved. Perhaps it was because of his company, or perhaps because the baby was gradually taking hold, but her morning sickness symptoms soon disappeared completely.
The palace servants in Yongshou Palace finally let go of their worries, and their faces were filled with joyful smiles as they went in and out.
The master is favored by the emperor and will give birth to an heir soon. Honors and favors are just around the corner. Being able to work in Yongshou Palace is the most honorable thing in the palace.
Seeing that the road ahead is getting wider and wider, how can I not be happy?
Wang Chan watched Lan Cui lead the others out with the cleaned dishes and asked with concern, "Master, are you satisfied with what you ate today?"
"Of course. The master can have half a bowl more today. Go to the kitchen to get some snacks later. A pregnant woman will be easily hungry after she gets over morning sickness. The master needs it for her nap." After Lan Cui ordered someone to remove the food, she happily instructed Wang Chan.
At that time, they were very anxious because their master couldn't eat all day long. Now, his master can eat well, which makes them happy to see.
My dear, you must give birth to this child safely. With this child, your future will be much easier.
Lan Cui has been with Yan Wan all the way and knows how difficult it was for her to go from an unknown little palace maid to the favorite concubine she is today.
How many people have watched the master enjoy the favor for many years but still have no children, and privately laughed at the master for being unlucky. Now, we must let those short-sighted people take a good look! The Queen of Yongshou Palace is definitely the most blessed person in the world! We must give those people a good slap in the face.
Seeing that no one was around, Wang Chan approached Lan Cui and whispered, "I was told that Eunuch Jinzhong had a solution. Look, he's been more effective than the doctors in the Imperial Hospital since he arrived. Ever since the Emperor asked him to send a bowl of bird's nest every day, the master's spirit has been getting better and better. If she can give birth to a prince safely, we'll have hope for the future..."
Wang Chan smiled foolishly and couldn't help but start imagining the future.
"Yes, yes, you are smart. But it is hard to say whether the master's baby is a boy or a girl. Don't keep saying it is a little prince, especially in front of the master. If you give birth to a princess, it will be very hard to bear if it ends up being nothing. But I think it is a princess. Our master is favored by the emperor and the empress dowager. Even if it is a princess, she will be pampered to the sky..."
Seeing him getting distracted, Lan Cui couldn't help but interrupt his fantasy.
"It doesn't matter if she's a princess or a prince, as long as she's born safely. Given how much the emperor values our little girl, she's definitely the most honorable little lady in the Forbidden City..."
Even though Lan Cui poured cold water on him, Wang Chan was not annoyed and continued to respond happily.
Lan Cui was about to say a few more words when a voice came from the door.
The two of them quickly followed suit and saluted: "Greetings to Empress Shu Fei."
"Where is your master?" Yihuan asked softly.
"My master has just finished lunch and is embroidering a baby's dress with Chunchan inside. Madam Shufei, I will take you in."
Empress Shufei has been coming here quite often these days, either coming with Empress Meifei or alone. Lan Cui is no longer surprised and quickly invites her into the inner hall.
Yihuan nodded and walked into the inner hall under the guidance of Lan Cui.
