Rumors of losing a son hasten life, and the center of gravity of Rong'er's illness;

What does Xuande tell you?”

Within the palace, all of the empress dowager's members were greeting the empress dowager and chatting about daily matters. The empress dowager glanced at everyone and then looked towards her concubine, asking softly, ”Have you guys recovered from Noble Lady Rong's illness yet?”

The concubine nodded and looked at Wang Jingzhi, who quickly replied, ”Reporting to the Old Ancestor, Noble Lady Rong's condition has not improved at all. We are all very worried about her aggravation.”

The empress dowager nodded and looked at Aunt Suu. ”Oh, Su Mo'er, send a decree for me to go to the Internal Affairs Bureau and have the hospital treat her properly. There should be no mistakes.

”Old Ancestor, have you ever heard of the word that is passed down in the palace, saying that it's the bane of the Noble Lady Rong s? Are you for real?” Imperial Concubine Zhao couldn't help but say it out loud.

The empress dowager frowned discontentedly. ”Imperial Concubine Zhao, you're about to become an empress now. The empress dowager should have put an end to such rumors, how could you take it to heart?”

”Yes, chenqie understands her mistake.” After all, things were about to happen and she didn't want anything to happen to herself. In these two years, she had been extremely cautious, afraid that she would stir up trouble before the grand ceremony.

”This empress dowager already knew of this matter, but regardless of whether it's true or false, do not spread it anymore. Noble Lady Rong having lost her fourth son is already enough to make people sad.

”Chenqie respectfully respects the Grand Empress Dowager's teachings.” All the imperial concubines answered in unison.

Xuande watched on from the side, her brows lightly knitted.

”Master, De Chang Zai is here to see you.” Master, De Chang Zai is here to see you. The palace maid, Xiu-Er, came in to report to Rong'er.

”What is she doing here? Mistress, send her back. ” Xiaoqing curled her lips in dissatisfaction. Recently, it seemed that De Chang was very favored by the Emperor. Could it be that she came here to show off to her master?

Rong'er coughed lightly a few times, ”I came to visit out of good intentions, how can I stop you? I've invited De Chang Zai to come in.” Xiu-Er took the order and left.

”Noble Lady Rong, I heard that you are very sick, so I came to see you today.” Xuande said with a smile.

Rong'er forced herself to open her eyes and look at Xuande, but was unable to see through her malice. She smiled and nodded, ”Thank you for your presence. It's fine, I was just slightly injured.”

Xuande gently sat on the warm pit, gazing at Rong'er from afar. After a long time … He said softly, ”The emperor has recruited me to sleep a few times these past few days …” Xuande quietly watched Rong'er's slightly changed expression, sighing softly. ”I can tell that there's something on the emperor's mind.”

Rong'er puzzledly raised his eyebrows and lightly coughed twice. He let Xiaoqing help her sit up, then looked at Xuande. Rong'er truly did not understand what she meant. She would often do things that she did not expect.

Xuande chuckled, her eyes staring at Rong'er as she leisurely said, ”According to my guess, the emperor probably doesn't know that your illness is already this serious.”

Rong'er looked at Xuande with a pale face, but said nothing.

Xuande rose to her feet and slowly walked to Rong'er's side. ”If the emperor still turns Xuande's cards tonight, I will tell the emperor.” Xuande lightly smiled, ”Elder sister can recuperate in peace, I'll be taking my leave first.”

”Why …” Rong'er suddenly asked as Xuande was about to leave the house.

Xuande clearly knew what Rong'er was asking and didn't turn around. She softly replied, ”I'm saying, I want to know just how much the emperor cares about you, Noble Lady Rong.”

”Is that all?” Rong'er asked in disbelief.

”Elder sister, let's put it this way. Xuande will take her leave first.” Xuande turned and smiled at Rong'er as she walked out of the room.
