The emperor was ill for several days, and the Empress Dowager issued an order for no visits in the six palaces. As the days passed, Zhong Yuxiu saw it and was even more anxious.

On this day, Yuxiu heard that the emperor was getting better and the queen returned to Fengluan Palace to live, and hurriedly called Lanxiang to dress up and change her clothes, and wanted to go to Fengluan Palace.

Lan Xiang stood in front of the carved bronze mirror, put on a red jade coral hairpin for Zhong Yuxiu, and murmured, "Since the emperor's health has improved, why don't the young master go directly to Mingde Palace, but to go to Fengluan Palace to see the queen?"

Yuxiu reached out to support a row of pendant glass curtains inserted under the hair support basket, and said quietly, "The Empress Dowager has an order that concubines are not allowed to visit the emperor without authorization. Besides, the Empress is exhausted in taking care of the emperor these days. It is appropriate for me to go and see it."

After hearing this, Lan Xiang was extremely unfair and said angrily, "The Empress Dowager is quite kind to the Lord, and the Empress and the Lord are also good sisters. Isn't it better for the Lord to report to the Empress Dowager to go to Mingde Palace to report to the Empress Dowager? There is no need to trouble like this."

Yu Xiu smiled coldly, "After all, there is a difference in closeness and alienation. This kind of opportunity is hard-won for the queen. How could the queen be willing to give it to me easily?"

Lan Xiang took the comb and carefully combed the broken hairs scattered on Yuxiu's temples. She couldn't help but say, "I see that the Empress Dowager is not bad to the little master. She personally sent such good fetal medicines to the little master for him to drink. This little thing must be ignored..."

When Yuxiu heard Lanxiang mention the fetal medicine, she trembled. Suddenly, she thought of something and said to Lanxiang in a low voice, "Go and take the prescription."

Lan Xiang was stunned and said in a daze, "What prescription?"

Yuxiu glanced at her, "What other prescription can it be? Of course it is the one given by my mother. Go and get it."

Lan Xiang had already understood that what Yu Xiu said was referring to as the prescription for giving birth to a child, and was stunned at the moment.

Seeing her hesitant movements, Yuxiu was already in a slight anger between her eyebrows and eyes, and said angrily, "What are you still standing there? Why don't you go quickly?"

Lanxiang was startled and hurried to the inner hall to take out a prescription and show it to Yuxiu.

After Yuxiu opened it, he looked at it slightly, and then handed it to Lanxiang, "Put it away, wait for Fengluan Palace to give it to the queen."

Lan Xiang was stunned again, "My master, this..."

Seeing this, Yuxiu smiled faintly on her lips, but her expression was as normal, "If the queen could give birth to the eldest son, she would naturally not forget the kindness of this palace."

Lan Xiang frowned slightly and leaned against Yuxiu, saying nothing about Liu's ear canal. "If the little master uses this prescription and drinks the fetal medicine on time, then the one who gave birth to the eldest son is the little master? At that time, the glory and wealth of life will be all hoped."

Yu Xiu's eyes sank, and a faint sneer appeared involuntarily, "Do you know what prescription is used for the pregnancy medicine given by the Queen Mother? Only because she added this scent of red flowers, I just want to have a child, but I am afraid it will not be possible."

Lan Xiang was shocked when she heard this and hesitated and couldn't speak, "Then... the little master... I've drunk it too..."

A trace of crystal tears flashed in Yuxiu's eyes and said slowly, "What can I do? The Empress Dowager sent Huizhi to see me and drink this bowl of medicine in order to prevent my children from becoming the eldest son." After speaking, she smiled faintly again, "Forget it, it's because I haven't served the bed, and it's in vain if I drink the medicine."

Lan Xiang and Li Jie trembled, "The Virtuous Concubine..."

Yu Xiu played with the golden bracelet on his wrist and said coldly, "The fairy concubine has been kind for many years, but she has never had any children due to her qi and blood deficiency. It really makes people suspicious..."

When Lan Xiang heard this, she was shocked. She dared not take such words again. She quickly folded the prescription carefully and put it in her purse, and helped Zhong Yuxiu to the queen's harem.

The Fengluan Palace was quiet all over the place. Li Shushen was very tired, but when he returned to the palace, he only slept for a while and then sat up and read a book again.

Yuzhi placed a cup of cooked hot tea in front of the queen and whispered, "Empress, take a break, carefully reading the book and hurt your eyes."

Li Shushen only flipped the pages, not thinking, "It's not a problem, I'll look at it for a while."

Yuzhi was silent. She understood the temperament of her master and was not easy to persuade her, so she put the hot tea on the table and went down alone. As soon as she stepped out of the main hall, she heard several little palace maids doing things whisper in the courtyard.

"The Empress is so virtuous and virtuous. She has such a good temperament, but the Emperor doesn't come to see her."

"No, when the emperor was seriously ill a few days ago, the Empress was serving in front of him. Now the Emperor is getting better, but he doesn't remember the Empress's goodness..."

"The Empress is such a poor person..."

"Oh, Aunt Yuzhi." The little palace maid who was about to say a few more words was shocked when she saw Yuzhi coming in this direction. She hurriedly pulled up several other palace maids and timidly greeted Yuzhi.

Yuzhi fainted anger on her face and said sternly: "Are you all done nothing?"

Several palace maids were very timid and did not dare to answer. They hurriedly escaped from Yuzhi and went to do their own work.

Yuzhi sighed and looked at the figure of the queen in the hall reading a book, and felt very desolate.

Yuzhi was originally a palace maid who served the empress dowager. She entered the palace for several years. When the empress dowager was still a concubine, she went to the inner palace to serve and was on par with Huizhi. She was very appreciated by the empress dowager. Because of the emperor's illness these days, the empress dowager served alone in front of the palace. The empress dowager couldn't bear it and pointed her to the empress, being the chief maid of Fengluan Palace, and helping the empress share the affairs of the palace. Yuzhi lived in the harem for most of her life and had long seen the scenes of prosperity, decline, honor and disgrace, but a woman like Empress Li, who is both virtuous and talented, is so unlucky that even the little palace maid dares to discuss right and wrong behind the scenes, but how miserable it is.

"Aunt Yuzhi."

The voice of the woman behind her was as crisp as a silver bell, interrupting Yuzhi's thoughts.

Yuzhi turned around and bowed to the woman in front of her, "I've seen Meiren Zhong."

Zhong Yuxiu suddenly smiled, "Can the Empress be in the palace?"

Yuzhi hesitated for a moment and replied, "The Empress is in the pavilion, and the little master waits for the slaves to come in and report."

"No, I can just go in by myself." Zhong Yuxiu smiled, "I'm lucky."

Yu Zhifu was blessed and followed behind Meiren Zhong, carefully closed the door of the main hall, leaving the two masters to talk in the cabinet.

"Sister." Yuxiu smiled cleverly as soon as she saw Shushen.

When Shushen saw that Yuxiu was coming, he couldn't help but feel a "knock" in his heart. This was the first time that the two of them met alone since Zhong Yuxiu came into the palace. She was here again at this time, which made Shushen elusive.

"Why is Sister Zhong coming?" Li Shushen put down the book in his hand, smiled slightly, but his tone was a little alienated.

Zhong Yuxiu was good at observing his expression and could see the changes in the queen at this time, so she laughed at herself, "Sister has been playing with me since she was a child. Now that she has entered the palace, she looks like a real sister. The emperor has been ill for a long time, and my sister has been serving in front of the palace. I am afraid she will be exhausted. Isn't it natural for me to come and see my sister?"

Shushen smiled, "It's my palace's words that are abrupt." Then she held Yuxiu's hand and sat in front of the couch, and said, "The tremella soup here in my palace is very well made, and I have always wanted to ask my sister to try it." As she said that, she stood up and wanted to call Miaochun, but was stopped by Zhong Yuxiu.

"Sister doesn't have to bother. I'm here today, so I have to ask my sister for help."

When Li Shushen heard this, he felt a little stuttered and asked, "What's wrong with my sister?"

Yu Xiu smiled, took a sachet from Lanxiang, put it in the queen's hand, and said softly, "The sachet contains a few herbs that can drive away the cold. The emperor is now sick, and the concubine cannot serve in front of the emperor, so he can only send some things to express his feelings. I hope my sister can help me hand it over to the emperor, which can be considered as fulfilling the concubine's heart."

Shushen looked down and saw a large hibiscus flower embroidered with golden thread on the sachet. Red beans were embroidered on the other side. The exquisite dice was filled with red beans. They fell into the bones and fell in love with them. They replaced them with hibiscus, and used things to convey their feelings. Shushen also understood the meaning of this.

Seeing that Shushen's expression was getting ugly, Yuxiu knew that it was not good, so she quickly took the prescription from Lanxiang and said respectfully, "I originally wanted to ask Cheng Dehai to send it to the emperor, but he said he had to tell his sister first. So my sister is here now, and I hope she will not blame her for being abrupt."

Shushen calmed down his expression and handed the sachet to Miaochun who was beside him, and smiled faintly, "If you don't have any of my sister at this time, just an object. I will naturally help my sister deliver it to the emperor. Don't worry, sister."

Yuxiu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "That concubine has thanked her sister first." After that, she approached the queen and lowered her voice, "Sister is now serving the emperor. When the emperor recovers, she will definitely be thinking about her sister's wishes. It will be a matter of time before she returns to favor. In this harem, nothing is important, only offspring is the most important. Taking advantage of the disagreement between the virtuous concubine and the emperor, we must seize the opportunity. With the eldest son, my sister will have hope for this life."

Shu Shen listened intently and was also a little moved, "My sister means..."

Zhong Yuxiu smiled gently, quietly stuffed the prescription into the queen's hand, and smiled, "I have my Zhong family's prescription for giving birth here. If my sister can trust her sister, you might as well give it a try."

Li Shushen took the prescription and was shocked. The Zhong family had six sons, only Zhong Yuxiu, a daughter. It would be credible if she had such a secret recipe. However, Zhong Yuxiu was so attentive, and at the critical moment when she was about to regain favor, she had to be careful.

Zhong Yuxiu saw that the queen had been persuaded and knew that her purpose had been achieved, so she stood up and wanted to leave.

After Zhong Yuxiu left, the queen called Yuzhi and handed the two things to her hands. She instructed warmly, "Go and give this sachet and this prescription to Dr. Zhu of the Imperial Hospital. If there is any situation, report it to the palace immediately."
