On that day, everyone went to Yikun Palace to greet the concubine early in the morning. As soon as they entered the palace gate, they could smell a pungent smell of medicine inside. When everyone walked in, they saw Aunt Tongyun put a bamboo mat in the middle of the yard and put some medicinal materials on it to dry.

Several concubines couldn't help but cover their noses.

They whispered: "What does it look like."

"That's right, it's still a dignified concubine."

"The emperor ignored her, and she just slandered herself? She was still the leader of the harem."

If it were normal for the concubines in the palace, they would never dare to talk about the right and wrong of the concubine in the Yikun Palace. These days they had seen the emperor neglect the concubine and were a little moved. Even so, they spoke very quietly.

But the serene voice still attracted a cold glance from Concubine Yi who was walking in front of him.

Several people immediately lowered their heads.

Concubine Yi said: "When I arrived at Yikun Palace, my sisters were still a little careful. The Concubine never likes people who talk too much."

“…”

"I don't like it if I have many hands or legs."

Although the few people were angry, their position was only concubines, and they did not dare to argue with Concubine Yi.

So he said, "Yes."

Concubine Yi then turned around and walked into the main house.

Everyone went in with all kinds of thoughts to pay their respects to the imperial concubine, but they saw that the imperial concubine was not as lonely as she was neglected, or she was angry and looked for someone to vent her anger. On the contrary, she seemed a little calmer and gentler than usual. Although she could see that she was not resting well, she also forced herself to cheer up and perfunctory them, and even chatted with Concubine Yi intimately.

Concubine Yi was probably confused, so she took advantage of the conversation and asked, "Why did the Empress dry so much medicine in the yard?"

Nan Yan smiled and said, "I asked Delu out of the palace to buy some, and I planned to take some tonics after the autumn is coming. However, it rained a few days ago, and these medicines were almost moldy, so I took it out and dried it while the weather was good in the past two days."

Concubine Yi looked at her: "Does the empress's body... need to take so many medicines to supplement? But what are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Nan Yan just smiled and didn't say anything.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether the imperial concubine was as hiding the disease and avoiding the doctor like the emperor, or whether she was unwilling to mention this to make everyone worry. But since she was unwilling to say it, everyone naturally didn't ask much. After a few more gossips, everyone stood up and said goodbye.

After walking out of Yikun Palace, the newly enthroned Concubine Kang immediately let out a long sigh: "Oh, the smell inside is really sour."

Several concubines around him also said, "Isn't that true? Concubine Yi really curses her and doesn't even let us complain."

Pin Guo sneered: "No one in the palace knows that she is close to the imperial concubine. Even her daughter is given by the imperial concubine. She doesn't just treat the imperial concubine like a Bodhisattva. But now she is a clay Bodhisattva."

Several people were also careful and immediately said, "You can whisper."

Pin Guo gave them a blank look: "What are you afraid of?"

Everyone smiled and didn't say much. They just arrived at the place where they were separated, so everyone went back to their respective residences. After Guo Meng returned, she did not rest. Instead, she asked the palace maid to purse her temples and add two pieces of jewelry in front of the mirror.

Then he asked, "Are the snack ready?"

The palace maid Rulan behind him whispered: "It's done."

Pin Guo immediately said, "Then, let's go."

She had already found out that last night, His Majesty the Emperor did not go to Yikun Palace, but stayed in the imperial study room for the night. After attending the morning court today, he went back to the imperial study room to handle government affairs and is still there now.

She planned to give the emperor some snacks to see if she could get close to her.

Rulan hurried out to deliver the message, and another great palace maid Mingyue walked in with a dessert box.

Unlike the palace maid Rulan who came from the Guo family and entered the palace with Guo, Mingyue was the palace maid and knew more about some things in the palace than them. She was used to the concubines in the palace who wanted to attract the emperor's attention and win a little favor. However, over the years, these concubines have flowed over the years, leaving behind the concubines who looked as stable as Mount Tai, and were not as good or bad as she was.

Mingyue thought about it over and over again and said softly: "Miss Kang, don't give this snack. The concubine never likes the people in the harem to walk to the imperial study."

Pin Guo looked at her coldly: "If the imperial concubine doesn't like it, don't let her do it?"

“…”

"If the imperial concubine doesn't like me, will I still live?"

Mingyue was so scared that she knelt down and said, "The Empress is so serious. I just want to remind the Empress that the Emperor is not used to someone delivering things to the Imperial Study."

Pin Guo said coldly: "The emperor is not used to it. I am afraid that it is because the imperial concubine doesn't like it and everyone dares to go there, so it is not used to it. Now that the emperor is also cold to the imperial concubine, there is no need to use her words as an imperial edict."

After saying that, he was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore, so he said to Rulan: "You're going to get it."

Rulan immediately went over and took the snack box from Mingyue's hand, and the master and servant went out with a proud look.

Mingyue looked back at their backs and sighed long.

Soon, Guo Pin took Ru Lan Niu to the Imperial Study Room. As expected, the door was closed, only the windows were open, and the study room was quiet, with only a few guards standing outside, while Xiao Shunzi was guarding outside the door. When he saw her coming, he subconsciously frowned.

But he came forward immediately: "Princess Guo."

Pin Guo politely smiled at him and said, "Master Shun, the emperor is still busy."

Xiao Shunzi said: "Yes, the emperor read the memorial for a whole morning and gave a special order. No one is allowed to disturb me."

“…”

These words were clearly blocking her.

Guo Pin's face slightly sank, but she also understood that the imperial concubine could be favored in the palace for so many years, and the emperor's side was mostly her eyeliner, so she would naturally help her plot.

So she said without any haste: "Dadfather-in-law, I'm not going to go in and disturb the emperor. I just heard that the emperor has a bad appetite recently, so I specially asked the kitchen to make some snacks."

As she said that, she took the snack box and handed it to Xiao Shunzi herself.

Then he smiled and said, "I heard that the emperor likes chrysanthemums, so he specially prepared chrysanthemum crisps inside. After eating them at this time, you can see the light and clear the fire."

Xiao Shunzi looked down.

A little coldness flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled respectfully: "Empress Guo is intent."

“…”

"However, the emperor gave the order, no one can go in and disturb him."

“…”
