Chapter 267 Rejecting the Queen, Ling Rong is Touched
At this time, Jiang Fuhai arrived at Chengqian Palace with the Queen's order.
"Greetings to Queen Consort Xuan, may your majesty be blessed."
"Get up, Eunuch Jiang, come here, what is the Queen's order?"
Fu Cha Zhixi spoke to Jiang Fuhai.
"Reporting to Her Majesty, the Queen said that there is an epidemic in the palace, and Her Majesty is unable to handle it alone. I hope that Her Majesty Xuan can help take care of it."
Jiang Fuhai spoke to Fu Cha Zhixi very respectfully.
"Eunuch Jiang, I'm afraid I can't agree to this."
"The epidemic is now causing a stir, and the people in the harem are in a panic. The Empress is really too busy to take care of the entire harem."
"But my Sixth Prince is not even one year old yet, and I am really too busy to take care of him. I hope you can explain this to the Empress on my behalf."
Fu Cha Zhixi explained somewhat helplessly.
She was too lazy to take on such things. Little Fuzhen was still young and physically fragile, so she didn't have the time to take care of these things.
Even if this matter was brought to the attention of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, she would still be able to justify it.
Jiang Fuhai didn't expect that Concubine Xuan would actually reject him, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
"this."
Jiang Fuhai looked at Fucha Zhixi with some embarrassment.
"Don't worry, eunuch. The epidemic is raging right now, and it's really inconvenient for me to go to Jingren Palace to explain to the Empress in person, so I can only ask you to go there temporarily."
"The heir to the throne is the most important thing. I don't think the Queen will bother me too much."
"Besides, there are other concubines in our palace besides me who can help the Queen."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at Jiang Fuhai meaningfully and said.
"I understand what your Majesty means. If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will take my leave."
Jiang Fuhai did listen to Fu Cha Zhixi's words. Seeing that Fu Cha Zhixi had no intention of changing his mind, he bowed and left without any delay.
After Jiang Fuhai left, Aunt Fangqiu asked with some confusion.
"Why does the Queen want you to help manage the harem?"
"I'm not quite sure what the Queen is going to do, but I think there are only a few possibilities."
"Either they use this incident to disgust Concubine Hua, or they can make me so busy that I never neglect Little Fuzhen, which will give those with ulterior motives a chance to strike."
Fucha Zhixi snorted coldly and spoke in a bad tone.
She did not hesitate to speculate the most vicious thoughts about the queen's every move.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the Queen intends to take this opportunity to attack our Prince Fuzhen?"
Yuhu looked at Fucha Zhixi nervously and said.
"That's not necessarily true, but I'm sure it's not a good thing for the queen to share her power."
"Even if she doesn't do anything, do the other concubines in the harem have to get used to seeing my little Fuzhen?"
Fu Cha Zhixi frowned slightly and looked at Yu Hu and spoke.
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. We really can't ignore the other concubines, lest we stumble over things that we don't care about."
Suqin nodded in agreement.
In the past, all of them had their eyes fixed on Concubine Hua and the Queen, but could the other concubines get used to seeing their own queens having children and being favored?
Here, An Lingrong in the Yanxi Palace also heard about the epidemic and felt a little panicked.
However, in order to reassure the other servants in the palace, she still forced herself to remain calm and directed the palace servants to start fumigating the area with the mugwort leaves sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Chuntao was the only one who knew that her young mistress was pregnant, so she was very worried. Her young mistress was only two months pregnant and was very vulnerable. If she worried too much, it might harm the baby in her belly.
"My lady, you have been busy for so long, why don't you take a good rest? I will go and get you some honey dew to moisten your throat."
"It's okay. I'm a nobody and my words don't count. There aren't many people in this palace who would want to harm me. As long as we take precautions, nothing will go wrong."
"But I'm afraid it won't be so easy for my sister. Now that my sister has the Sixth Prince, I don't know how many people are staring at my sister."
"Now that the epidemic has broken out, the harem is in chaos. Who knows, some people might take this opportunity to attack my sister and little prince."
"What a coincidence! I'm pregnant with this little guy now. I want to help my sister but I don't know what to do."
At this moment, An Lingrong was eager to move to Chengqian Palace to look after her sister and little Fuzhen, but she was already pregnant. If she went to Chengqian Palace, she would only cause trouble for her sister.
After my sister takes care of little Fuzhen, she has to take care of herself.
"My lady, Concubine Xuan has always been cautious. I think this epidemic will not affect Concubine Xuan and the young prince."
"My lady is pregnant now, and it's not even three months yet. You have to be more careful."
"My lady, please take good care of yourself and your unborn child. This way, Concubine Xuan will have to worry less."
Chuntao naturally knew the deep sisterly love between the young lady and Concubine Xuan, so she had to change her way to persuade the young lady to take care of herself.
As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, An Lingrong, who had been worried, immediately relaxed her brows.
"Good Chuntao, you are right. I can't help my sister now. The only thing I can do is to protect myself, otherwise my sister will have to worry about me."
Just at this moment, Yuhu came in with Ai Ye.
"Greetings to Lady An."
"Hurry up, Yuhu, why are you here? How are your sister and little brother now?"
When An Lingrong saw Yuhu coming, she knew that her sister must be worried about her, so she asked Yuhu to come here.
She was happy but also a little worried about her sister. She didn't expect that her sister was so busy now, but still cared about her.
She was even worried that she would be scared, so she asked her personal maid to come and reassure her.
Her sister is so good to her, she doesn’t know how to repay her sister’s sincerity.
"Don't worry, my lord. Our queen and little prince are doing fine."
"Your Majesty is worried that the noble lady will be frightened after knowing about the epidemic, so she specifically asked me to bring more mugwort leaves to the young lady."
Yuhu smiled and looked at An Lingrong and said.
She was also happy that An Lingrong thought of the Empress and the Young Prince first. It seemed that her Empress was not wrong in choosing the right people.
"At this time of year, mugwort leaves are in short supply, and each palace only gets this much. Could it be that Sister sent her own share as well?"
An Lingrong frowned subconsciously. She didn't expect her sister to send her mugwort leaves as well.
