Chapter 160 The enemy of my enemy is my friend
Lu Junze has not yet come to a conclusion on the matter of Concubine Chun's miscarriage, and Concubine Song just stays in Yong'an Palace and cannot go out without an imperial decree.
Gradually, everyone in the harem forgot about this matter, but Concubine Chun was definitely not one of them.
Although she didn't like the child, she was pregnant with it, so how could she just lose it for no reason? Someone had to pay the price for this.
Most people cannot understand Concubine Chun's morbid psychology.
"How is it?" Concubine Chun asked Liu Tai who was kneeling beside her and massaging her feet.
"Don't worry, your Majesty. It's been done." Liu Tai's strength in massaging Concubine Chun's feet was just right. Seeing Concubine Chun enjoying herself, a satisfied smile also appeared on his face.
"I will leave the palace after I finish this matter." Liu Tai said. He has found that he has been followed several times in recent times.
Although he had always disguised himself as a woman in the palace, his height, figure, and other aspects were very different from those of women, and he was still easily discovered. It didn't matter if something happened to him, but he was afraid that Concubine Chun would be implicated.
Concubine Chun looked into his eyes in a trance for a moment, then said after a while, "Okay."
During all these years in the palace, Liu Tai basically never left her side. It was also because of this that Concubine Chun had always lived a comfortable life in the palace. If there was anything that was not going well, Liu Tai would handle it for her.
But this has been broken in the past two years. In the past, the emperor would not pay too much attention to the harem, and everyone could do things conveniently. Now, the emperor seems to attach great importance to the harem and takes all the big and small matters in the harem to heart.
This situation seemed to happen after Gu Shijin appeared.
In fact, this is not the case. The reason why Lu Junze paid more attention to the harem was mainly because he discovered that the virtuous king had close contacts with the harem and was too deeply involved.
"Please be careful." Concubine Chun advised, feeling a little disappointed.
She owes Liu Tai this life.
……
Lu Junze had people keep an eye on Concubine Chun, and her every move did not escape Lu Junze's sight.
"Your Majesty, the person next to Concubine Chun has taken action." Tian Lin said.
He is in charge of the secret guards around Lu Junze, so under normal circumstances they will report the news to Tianlin, who will then inform Lu Junze.
But it was Lu Junze who found the master beside Concubine Chun first.
Although they were secret guards, they were also men. The man had been hiding in Weiyang Palace disguised as a woman, so it was normal that these secret guards could not find him.
Lu Junze: "Go there in person and arrest the person."
Although that person's kung fu was high, he was still far behind Tianlin, the leader of Lu Junze's secret guards. Moreover, Lu Junze didn't want to alert the enemy and wanted to make a quick decision, so it was best to send Tianlin.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Although he couldn't leave the emperor's side easily, nothing unexpected would happen as long as they were in the palace.
……
Ever since she had the child, Gu Shijin finally realized how difficult it was to be a mother. She still had the help of a few palace servants. She didn't know if raising children was also so tiring for ordinary people.
"Don't cry." Gu Shijin pinched the fourth child's face, "Here you go, eat it if you want."
Gu Shijin was having lunch when the two little guys came over. The Fourth Prince saw them and insisted on grabbing them. The kids were less than two months old, how could they eat these things? Gu Shijin refused to give them, and the kids opened their mouths and started crying loudly.
There was no choice but Gu Shijin could only pick up a little bit of pumpkin for him.
If you boil old pumpkin, it will have a little sweetness, so I think it’s okay.
After getting what he wanted, the Fourth Prince finally stopped crying.
"Okay, carry him out."
Originally, Gu Shijin had someone bring the two children over because he wanted to play with them for a while, but now... forget it, let the wet nurse take them away.
"Wait a moment." Gu Shijin suddenly spoke up. She looked at an old lady she had never seen before and asked, "Who are you?"
When the nanny saw Gu Shijin asking her, she walked out calmly and said after bowing, "Jin Xiuyi, I am a maidservant of the Empress Dowager, and I am here to deliver something to the two princes."
Gu Shijin frowned and looked at Xingzhu, who nodded to indicate that this was the case.
The Fourth Prince was making too much noise just now, so when the palace maid came in to report, she nodded without hearing clearly. The palace maid thought she agreed, so she called her in.
Since she was the concubine's person, Gu Shijin could not get angry even if she was dissatisfied. She said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam. Please thank the concubine for me."
"It's all my duty. I'll take my leave now."
"Mammy, take care."
After the nanny left, Gu Shijin asked Xingzhu to bring the things sent by the imperial concubine.
"Go and ask Dr. Song to come over and tell him that I'm not feeling well and ask him to take my pulse."
"Yes, my lady." Xing Zhu didn't ask any more questions and turned around to do the job.
Song Jibai arrived very quickly. Actually, he had nothing to do in the Imperial Hospital every day. In the palace, only the Emperor and Jin Xiuyi could ask him for help. Even when the Empress Dowager asked Song Jibai to come, Song Jibai often declined.
As soon as he entered the room, Song Jibai knew that Gu Shijin asked him to come not because he was not feeling well, but because of other things.
"Doctor Song, I asked you to come over because I want to trouble you. Can you help me check if there is anything wrong with these things?" Gu Shijin pointed at the things that the nanny had just brought over.
The nanny's behavior just now was very strange, which made Gu Shijin think more. Besides, it was strange that the concubine sent her something at this time. She and the concubine were not very familiar with each other.
Song Jibai didn't waste any time, he picked up the things and started looking at them.
These are all children's toys. They look simple and don't seem like they can hide anything, but you still have to be careful.
"My queen, these things are just ordinary toys. Nothing of them will cause harm to children." Song Jibai said after the inspection.
Gu Shijin nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Song."
"My lady, are these things going to be sent to the two princes?" Xing Zhu asked.
I don’t know why, but even though Doctor Song gave me assurance, Gu Shijin still felt a little nervous, as if things were going to develop in an unpredictable direction.
"No." Gu Shijin waved his hand. "The two princes already have enough toys. You can put these in the warehouse and wait until they break them."
"Yes, my lord."
On the other side, the nanny also returned to Shoukang Palace.
Inside Shoukang Palace, the Concubine Dowager was burning incense to the Buddha. Seeing this, the nanny stood quietly by the side waiting.
After the concubine finished burning the incense, the nanny came forward to support her and said, "Madam Concubine, it has been delivered."
"Yeah." The concubine nodded and said, "She didn't suspect anything, did she?"
"Probably not." Mammy hesitated for a moment and asked, "Madam, why should we help that person?"
Although the Concubine Dowager is not as good as the Empress Dowager, the Emperor treats her very well because she has raised the Emperor for a period of time.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
