Chapter 467 Stewed Sydney Pear with Rock Sugar
Lian Cui looked panicked: "My Lord, the Emperor seems to know that we have taken action against the one in the cold palace!"
Concubine Jia, who was looking at the account book, paused for a moment and looked at her calmly: "Who told you what?"
Lian Cui's face turned pale. "Eunuch Jinzhong was grateful to you for giving him a lot of money, but he was unable to get anything done for you. He just gave me some advice."
She repeated Jinzhong's words and told them to Concubine Jia.
As Concubine Jia held the pen, the joints on her fingers gradually turned pale, until with a snap, she actually crushed the pen.
"Zhenshu's matter has nothing to do with Ruyi? Ha! What a great way to say it has nothing to do with her! The Emperor..."
Lian Cui knelt down with a plop: "My Queen!!!"
Concubine Jia closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they were full of coldness: "Your Majesty is not angry, it's just because Ruyi and that guard are innocent, they just cuddled and didn't go to bed! Then let them just roll away!"
Lian Cui burst into tears: "My Lord! My Lady! Please don't be like this. You are already a royal concubine and have four princes. You don't have to do anything anymore!"
Concubine Jia's eyes were red: "So you also know how this concubine came to be! How ridiculous, too ridiculous!"
She laughed until tears came down her face. "...But what does it matter? Anyway, I really don't want Ruyi to have an easy life!"
She looked at Lian Cui with a cold face: "If you don't dare, I can find someone else to do it."
Lian Cui's eyes were red from crying. She looked up at her and choked up, saying, "Although I started to serve you later, I am the one who has served you the longest in Qixiang Palace. I am not willing to do anything for you, so are you asking you to do it yourself?"
Concubine Jia's eyes turned red, and she smiled brightly: "I know you are loyal, don't worry, if I really find out about you, I will protect you with my life."
Lian Cui kowtowed respectfully: "I won't let anyone find out!"
Concubine Jia nodded, looked at Twelve Thirteen in the cradle in the distance, her eyes flickered slightly, and said softly:
"Think of a way to have someone tell that woman about the twelfth prince. There should be people who say good things about the twelfth prince, and there should also be people who say bad things about him."
Lian Cui didn't understand, but still nodded seriously: "Yes, don't worry."
At night, Jinzhong waited until late at night and everyone was asleep. Then he immediately walked onto the familiar path with a smile on his face.
When he arrived, Yan Wan was still awake. There was a small stove in the room, on which was stewing candied pears with rock sugar.
"Master..."
"Have a drink yourself."
"The slave obeys."
Yan Wan was amused by his serious look. Seeing that he finished drinking obediently, came over and sat on the footstool, she smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to give birth tonight."
Jinzhong froze for a moment, then suddenly realized what she was saying and jumped up: "I'll go..."
Yan Wan held him back: "Why are you panicking? Do you still want to leave here and scream?"
Jinzhong didn't dare to move. He looked down at her white hands grabbing his sleeves. He was almost going crazy: "Oh my Lord! This is the birth of a child, how can you be so calm?"
Yan Wan smiled at him and said, "The best midwife is right here. We have to manage the Yongshou Palace like an iron barrel. This isn't my first time giving birth... What am I afraid of?"
Jinzhong subconsciously said: "Of course I am afraid!"
Ever since he saw her give birth for the first time, he wished she would never give birth again.
But no.
For the future, for the emperor's favor, you have to give birth, you can only give birth.
His lips moved: "I will withdraw now. Please send someone to the Yangxin Palace to report the news. I will follow and serve you!"
Yan Wan looked into his eyes and said, "Don't worry, go and have another bowl of soup. I heard that your voice is a little hoarse. Have you been getting a little irritated recently?"
Jinzhong turned his head and looked at the small stove. Normally, this thing was never placed in Lingzhuer's room.
She was afraid that she would not be able to take care of him or see him later, so she waited for him to come and drink.
His eyes were burning, and his nose was filled with bitterness: "Drink, I'll drink it right away, drink it all!"
Yan Wan looked at him tenderly: "If..."
She only started talking and didn't continue.
If she unfortunately had an accident while giving birth, then it would be up to him. He could live with her or die with her, it was up to him.
It was agreed at the beginning that when she died, he should be buried with her, but in the end, he couldn't bear to do so.
Jinzhong paused in swallowing, pretending he didn't understand her unfinished meaning, and said with a smile: "This soup is really delicious."
Yan Wan looked at him lazily: "Chun Chan's cooking skills have always been good."
After a while, her brows gradually frowned and she felt pain again.
She endured it for a long time, the pain making her feel dizzy. When the pain was over, she looked up as if nothing had happened, and saw Jinzhong crying, crying like an idiot.
She smiled softly: "Look at you, your eyes are red from crying, I'm afraid you can't come."
Jinzhong forced a smile and quickly put down the bowl: "I have finished my meal, I will take my leave."
He did not dare to look up at her, and hurried out. When he saw Chunchan, he said, "Hurry up and send someone to the Yangxin Palace to deliver the message."
Chunchan whispered, "Don't worry, Wang Chan has gone."
Jinzhong felt relieved and ran back in a hurry. He took off his clothes in a hurry and lay down on the bed. He kept looking outside and his ears pricked up, fearing that he had missed anything.
Finally, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard: "Brother Zhong! Brother Zhong! Chief Steward! The Empress of Yongshou Palace has launched an attack, and the Emperor wants you to go over and watch it in person!"
Jin Zhong jumped out of bed, grabbed his clothes and rushed out, "Let's go!"
Jinshou hurriedly followed.
As soon as the two arrived at the Yangxin Palace, they ran into Hongli and Rongpin who were preparing to set off.
Hongli looked at Jinzhong and said, "You go first and keep an eye on them. Don't let them take advantage of you!"
Jinzhong knelt down, uttered a "yes" to accept the order, then stood up and ran towards Yongshou Palace with big strides.
When he rushed into Yongshou Palace, he saw that everyone was already busy and the room was very quiet. He asked and was told that the Imperial Noble Consort had already entered the delivery room and was being helped to move around to assist in the delivery.
He was extremely nervous, but the more nervous he was, the calmer he was. He checked the equipment and manpower one by one to make sure there were no mistakes.
Fortunately, there is currently no one in the palace who can do evil under his and Yan Wan's noses, so no one has been found to have done anything wrong.
After Zhang Yun, Li Zhe and other imperial physicians arrived, he asked an imperial physician who was not too busy to check the supplies again for the sake of caution.
After checking again, Hongli and Rongpin had also arrived. After a while, Empress Fucha also arrived, and other concubines followed one after another.
Concubine Jia arrived the latest, as if she was in too much of a hurry, so the senior palace maid Lian Cui beside her did not follow her, but a second-class palace maid came instead.
