Chapter 162: Li Xin Seeks Help; Venomous Tongue Lotus Leaf
One day, as Su Lian entered Qixiang Palace, she heard a scream inside the palace.
She walked in quickly: "What's wrong?"
I saw Concubine Yi holding her stomach, her forehead covered with cold sweat.
Su Lian was startled, her lips trembling: "I'm afraid she's about to give birth, Lan'er, go call the midwife."
"Li Xin, go quickly and ask the emperor to come over."
Li Xin was stunned: "But..." It was about to rain that day, and the emperor would definitely not be able to come.
"What's this? Go quickly. If you delay the master, I won't forgive you." Lian Ye said venomously.
Li Xin took an umbrella and went towards the Yangxin Palace, but it started to rain when she was halfway there.
Just then she ran into Jinzhong coming out, and she ran over: "Eunuch Jinzhong!"
"Miss Li Xin, why are you here at the Yangxin Palace on such a rainy day?"
Li Xin wiped the rain from her face and said aggrievedly, "Eunuch Jinzhong, please tell the emperor that our mistress is about to give birth. Please come and see her."
Jinzhong shook his head: "I'm afraid that's not possible. The Emperor is discussing state affairs with his ministers, so it won't be finished in a short while."
Li Xin was soaked all over: "Eunuch Jinzhong, please have mercy on me. If I ask the emperor to go back, the master will definitely blame me."
"Hey, this... let's do this. I'll find an opportunity later, and you go back and wait."
"Xie Jinzhong, Eunuch."
He entered the Yangxin Palace carrying a cup of fresh tea. The palace was completely silent at this time, so Li Yu took the teacup.
"Master, someone from Qixiang Palace just now said that Concubine Yi is about to give birth and would like the Emperor to come and see her."
Li Yu whispered, "What time is it now? How can the emperor have time?"
Li Yu replaced the empty teacup and took advantage of the opportunity to whisper in Hongli's ear, "Your Majesty, someone from Qixiang Palace reported that Concubine Yi is about to give birth."
Hongli's frown deepened. "Isn't there still a month left? Well, let the doctor on duty at the Imperial Hospital go there, and you personally... or you can have Jinzhong personally go to Qixiang Palace to watch over it."
Li Yu nodded: "Well, I'll go right away."
"Also, regardless of whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl, she will be promoted to Concubine Yi."
"Whoo."
Li Yu left the Yangxin Palace and said to Jinzhong, "The Emperor has told you to keep an eye on it. Also, whether Concubine Yi gives birth to a prince or a princess, or is promoted to a concubine, I've already sent for the imperial physician on duty. You should take Li Xin back."
Li Xin looked at Li Yu gratefully: "Thank you, Eunuch Li Yu. I will never forget your kindness."
Li Yu waved his hand: "Go back and change your wet clothes quickly, or you'll catch a cold and get sick. How can you serve the master then?"
Li Xin nodded, and Jinzhong held an umbrella and went towards Qixiang Palace.
"Thank you, Eunuch Jinzhong. If you hadn't told Eunuch Li Yu, I would have been punished when I returned."
Jinzhong (Ling Yunche): "It's nothing. We are all servants and it's only natural for us to look after each other."
"By the way, why were you assigned to Qixiang Palace again? Jin has never been so mean to you before."
Li Xin's expression was gloomy, and her eyes were filled with tears. "Noble Lady Yi knew that I served Jin and wanted to ask me some things about her, so she asked the Imperial Household Department to let me serve her."
Jinzhong (Ling Yunche) said "Oh".
After entering Qixiang Palace, Lianye saw Li Xin, who was furious. She pointed at Jinzhong and said, "I asked you to invite the emperor over, so why did you bring back nothing?"
Li Xin waved her hands hurriedly: "Sister Lianye, please keep your voice down. The emperor ordered Eunuch Jinzhong to deliver the decree."
