[Quick Wear] Puhua Fairy is blessed with a long pregnancy
Chapter 45: Queen Tong Jia's Blessing of Pregnancy
On February 28, the 13th year of the Kangxi reign, the Empress Dowager was seriously ill and bedridden.
Noble Consort Yi was ordered to attend to the illness.
Sheng Huan didn't expect the Empress Dowager to get sick so quickly, and her pregnancy could not be detected yet.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s just the result of these few days, it’s just right.
At the gate of Cining Palace, Su Malagu was already waiting.
As soon as she saw Sheng Huan, she bowed respectfully and said, "Royal Concubine, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. Please come this way."
"Aunt, what are you talking about?" Sheng Huan shook her head and followed her steps: "As a concubine, it is my duty to respect the Empress Dowager."
"Our master has seen your majesty's filial piety."
Although Su Malagu said this, her brows were very heavy and she seemed very worried about her master.
"When our master was ill, it was Empress Xiaoxian who took care of him. She was the most attentive and took care of our master personally. I didn't expect that time would pass so quickly. So many years have passed, and Empress Xiaoxian is no longer here..."
She seemed to be just saying it casually, even with a sigh, but she also pointed out everything. Back then, Empress Xiaoxian and Consort Dong E did everything by themselves. Now it's your turn, and you should not be able to be inferior to her.
If she is not as good as Empress Xiaoxian, then she is not as devoted as the Empress Dowager.
Sheng Huan's eyes flickered slightly: "It's over after all. Now I'm here, and I'm in the palace. There's also the entire Imperial Hospital waiting for us, and there's no shortage of palace servants waiting on us. Aunt, don't worry too much. The Empress Dowager will be fine."
The Empress Dowager did not fall ill in the palace, but in Nanyuan.
When she was sick, she was even taken care of by Concubine Dong E, who was still in confinement after giving birth. The Empress Dowager at that time ignored the Grand Empress Dowager. Later, when the Grand Empress Dowager recovered from her illness, she did not blame the Empress Dowager, but Concubine Dong E, who suffered from confinement sickness from then on.
Hearing Sheng Huan's words, Su Malagu's heart paused. Nanyuan was indeed easier to take action than the palace. However, now was not the time to go to Nanyuan. If she forced herself to go there, wouldn't it arouse suspicion and bring up the previous incident of Concubine Dong E?
"The Empress Dowager has always told me that the Imperial Concubine is the most caring person. With you here, the Empress Dowager will definitely get better soon."
"Aunt, you are too kind. If there is anything I have done wrong, I still need your guidance."
As they were talking, the two of them had already entered the inner room.
There was not a single palace maid, eunuch, or even an imperial physician in the inner chamber.
Sheng Huan understood what was going on, and she walked quickly towards the bed, bowed slightly, and immediately stepped forward, showing her concern.
"The Empress Dowager is ill, why are there no palace servants around? Did they slack off because they saw you were ill?"
She had an angry look on her face: "How can this be so unreasonable? How dare they treat the master with disrespect and neglect their duties? I will talk to His Majesty tonight and punish them for their crimes."
Then he looked at the Empress Dowager with a look of heartache and couldn't help but say, "You have suffered."
The Grand Empress Dowager was now lying on the bed, looking listless, even a little sallow. When she saw Sheng Huan, she was shocked by her actions before she could even curl her lips.
Sheng Huan’s concern was obvious, her presence was powerful, and the meaning of her words was unmistakable.
The Empress Dowager thought that Tong Jia was different from Dong Efei. Compared with Dong Efei's gentleness, she was more confident and even more imposing.
She shook her head and patted Sheng Huan's hand: "I asked them to leave. I like quietness. There are too many people and I can't adapt."
Sheng Huan's mouth twitched slightly, he felt uncomfortable. Before he was sick, he had a lot of people serving him and he didn't seem to feel uncomfortable.
But she said with a look of sudden realization: "I understand now. The Empress Dowager is the most considerate to the palace ladies."
She shook her head slightly, showing the concern of a younger generation for an elder: "But you are sick, don't blame me for being nosy. You still need a few palace maids to watch over you at all times. Even if you don't let them stay by your side, there should be someone left outside the door to take care of you."
Her brows were tinged with worry, but she was also full of sincerity: "Grand Empress Dowager, if anything happens to you, Your Majesty, I, and Xiaoyueliang will all be very sad."
"I am aware of your filial piety." The Empress Dowager patted Sheng Huan's hand and finally agreed to leave a few palace maids to guard the place.
Otherwise, how could it be acceptable? It would be even more inappropriate if the emperor came and saw it. Tong Jia would not whitewash the situation for those palace ladies in front of the emperor.
It's a pity that she made such an arrangement. After all, after she did this, Concubine Dong E did everything herself and never objected to anything.
"I'm thirsty, please pour me a cup of tea."
Sheng Huan nodded, walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and turned around.
The Empress Dowager took a sip and seemed to be shocked. She waved it away quickly: "It's too cold, change another cup."
She seemed unconscious and the teacup hit Sheng Huan.
Sheng Huan moved quickly and caught the teacup immediately without spilling any water. He seemed a little surprised at how fast he moved.
She responded with no dissatisfaction on her face, and said gently, "Grand Empress Dowager, wait a moment."
The Empress Dowager did not expect her movements to be so agile. There was a gleam of light in her eyes, but her face was still sickly.
"Well, I want some hot tea."
Sheng Huan nodded without any embarrassment. She looked at Su Malagu and said naturally, "Thank you, aunt, for sending a palace maid to serve tea."
Su Malagu paused, bowed and went out.
After all, how could she save face in front of the Grand Empress Dowager? She was just a palace maid. Moreover, Sheng Huan had already said that it would be inappropriate to have so many palace maids in the Cining Palace. Besides, it was impossible to let an imperial concubine serve tea and water.
But at the beginning, didn't Concubine Dong E serve tea and water herself, no different from a palace maid?
This Imperial Noble Consort obviously has a bad temper, but you can also feel that she has good intentions towards the Grand Empress Dowager. It's really a difficult situation.
Su Ma came over quickly and the palace maid poured tea and handed it to Sheng Huan.
Sheng Huan took it and lightly tapped the edge of the cup with his fingertips. A hint of blood seeped into it and quickly dissolved into the tea.
"Grand Empress Dowager, please have some tea."
This time the Empress Dowager did not wave her off again. After all, it was only the first day. There was a long way to go and she would have plenty of ways to complain later.
Sheng Huan watched her drink the tea, his face still showing worry, but his fingertips moved slightly.
When a mortal drinks the spiritual blood and it is completely integrated into his bloodline, death is not far away.
What's more, it's non-toxic, and the imperial physician can't find anything. Sheng Huan felt a chill in her heart, and she would not leave any handle for others.
This spiritual blood was forced out by her after she had spent a great deal of spiritual energy and time, to a dosage suitable for the Empress Dowager to take now.
