Chapter 434 Your Majesty, You Hurt Me
Su Peichang lowered his voice and said, "Empress, Concubine Yun is ill. The Emperor is waiting for you in Zhuyun Palace."
Shen Qingyan didn't understand the cause and effect of these words for a moment.
"What are you waiting for me to do? To treat Concubine Yun? I don't know any medical skills..."
Su Peichang coughed lightly and had to explain, "Yunpin was very ill and was clamoring to see the emperor for the last time. The emperor went but didn't want to be in the same room with Yunpin."
Shen Qingyan: “…”
"Where's the imperial doctor?"
"The imperial physician did go, but Concubine Yun refused to let him feel her pulse and insisted on seeing the emperor."
Gu Ruxiao on the side snorted coldly and said, "What kind of lousy tricks are these? The worst tricks that my mother used back then were better than hers."
"Ahem!" Su Peichang looked around like a thief, "Princess, be careful with your words."
Shen Qingyan sighed. The emperor was so childish that he actually quarreled with a concubine.
"Lead the way, I'll go take a look."
She has no peace and quiet day after day!
Bamboo Rhythm Hall.
Concubine Yun could hardly hold on any longer.
Why did things develop differently from what she imagined?
Even if the emperor doesn't like her, he should come in and visit her, or at least say a few words of comfort to her. Why is he unwilling to even step into the door?
If this gets out, how can she still have the face to stay in the harem?
"Xiao Huan, help me up."
Yunpin decided to take the initiative. If the mountain doesn’t come to see me, I will go to see the mountain myself.
Her mother had told her since she was a child that men were the easiest to get in the world, and that you only needed to use a little trick to get them. She thought that the emperor must have been too bewitched by the queen, so he didn't come in.
When the emperor sees her weak and delicate appearance, he will surely pity her.
She doesn't ask for the emperor's favor all at once. She wants to walk into his heart little by little until she replaces Shen Qingyan's position!
With Xiaohuan's support and the imperial physician's speechless gaze, Concubine Yun walked out of the room step by step, and immediately saw Gu Beihuai sitting in the yard drinking tea.
The golden sunlight sprinkled on his bright yellow dragon robe, making Yunpin a little dazed for a moment. His tall and straight figure seemed to be radiating light, making people unable to take their eyes off him.
This was the man she married, the man she would depend on for the rest of her life.
"Your Majesty... I, your concubine, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Supported by Xiaohuan, Concubine Yun bowed gracefully, like a willow swaying in the wind.
Gu Beihuai looked at her expressionlessly and said something coldly.
"Why, now that you see me, you've come back to life?"
Yunpin's expression froze. She had never expected that the first words Gu Beihuai said to her would be so heart-wrenching.
So he lowered his eyes in grievance, and his voice was already filled with tears.
"Your Majesty, to me, you are my best medicine. When I see you, it's like I've taken a panacea, and my body seems to have recovered a lot..."
Shen Qingyan and Gu Ruxiao heard this as soon as they arrived at the door.
The two looked at each other, both trying to hold back their laughter.
My goodness, everyone is treating humans as a panacea, right?
One of them just needs to look at her own brother, and the other just needs to look at the emperor. Shen Qingyan couldn't help but wonder, are they unable to keep up with the fashion or are Yunpin and the others crazy?
Gu Beihuai's brows were always frowned, but after seeing Shen Qingyan, they immediately relaxed.
"Yan'er."
"Your Majesty, is Concubine Yun feeling better?" Shen Qingyan asked knowingly, with obvious teasing in her eyes. "It looks like she is much better. It seems that Your Majesty needs to stay here for a while longer."
Gu Beihuai's eyes were dark, and he wanted to pull the person into his arms, but Shen Qingyan predicted and dodged him.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yun is still ill. You must treat her carefully and not be distracted."
Gu Ruxiao was having a hard time trying to hold back his laughter, and couldn't help but make a joke.
"Brother, when you are done with your official duties, you can go around the harem more often. In case any of the concubines has a headache or fever..."
Before he could finish his words, he received a cold look from Gu Beihuai.
"Ruxiao, you have become more capable."
He was reluctant to say Yan'er that the imperial sister Gu Ruxiao could still be educated.
Gu Ruxiao curled her lips and muttered softly: "My brother is partial to me. My sister-in-law also said so..."
When Concubine Yun saw that she had lost her sense of existence, she couldn't help but start to act like a demon.
But she was not in a hurry to attack, but chose to retreat in order to advance.
Yunpin bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes filled with tears, her face full of weakness and helplessness.
"I feel much better now, so I won't disturb the love between the Emperor and the Empress."
"Chen and concubine retire."
As she finished speaking, tears began to fall from her eyes and her face turned as pale as snowflakes in early winter.
Yunpin felt that her current appearance must have aroused pity for her, and she would want to hug her tightly in her arms to give her comfort and warmth.
Even if Gu Beihuai would not do this, he would think so in his heart.
However, after she finished speaking, the entire Zhuyun Hall fell silent.
Gu Beihuai didn't even raise his eyelids.
The tears that Yunpin had managed to gather were almost dried up, and he did not do anything to show his delicate and pitiful appearance.
Shen Qingyan didn't want to make the situation too awkward, so she coughed lightly.
"Since Concubine Yun is not feeling well, then you should take a good rest. I will have someone send some supplements over in a while. You don't need to pay your respects until you recover."
Yunpin replied "yes" reluctantly and looked at Gu Beihuai, but still got no response.
The matter was resolved, and Gu Beihuai didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and left, not forgetting to hold Shen Qingyan's hand tightly and lead her away.
Yunpin saw this scene, and the tenderness and pity in her eyes were instantly replaced by surging jealousy and unwillingness.
She really wanted to know why Gu Beihuai was so obsessed with Shen Qingyan. She just had a pretty face, and she thought she was not bad either. Why didn't the emperor even want to look at her?
Her expression was clearly seen by Gu Ruxiao, who had not left yet.
"Yunpin, I advise you not to be so wishful thinking. After all, the reason why you eighteen concubines were admitted into the harem was because of the request of the Emperor's sister-in-law. And what is the purpose of your existence? I'm sure you are not stupid, right?"
Yunpin stood there in a daze. She had no idea what Gu Ruxiao meant.
"What do you mean, Princess?"
Didn’t her mother tell her that the reason she was able to enter the palace was because the emperor personally chose her after looking at her portrait?
Gu Ruxiao shrugged, too lazy to say more to her, and left with this sentence before leaving.
"Mrs. Yunpin, please take care of yourself. It's better not to be too confident, so as not to make a fool of yourself and be laughed at by others."
Gu Ruxiao's words were like a bolt of thunder, causing Yunpin to step back repeatedly with unsteady steps.
Xiao Huan quickly supported her, "My Lady, what's wrong with you?"
Yunpin grabbed her hand and said excitedly.
"Quick, prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I need to send a message home!"
At the same time, Gu Beihuai held Shen Qingyan's hand tightly and walked on the way back to Zhaohua Palace.
Shen Qingyan tried to pull it back several times but to no avail.
So she said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, you hurt me."
