”She's not sick, ah. I've been by her side every day, and she trusts me very much. No matter how I look at it, she doesn't have any. She's never invited an imperial physician or used any flowers, so do you still not trust me?” Ling Jiao'er innocently said.

”Wei'er, you can't speak carelessly about this. You have to be sure.” Jingzhu softly said, ”If a concubine really does not have any hidden ailments, then it would be the crime of deceiving the monarch!” An Zhu thought for a moment. ”There's no reason. Which person in the palace doesn't want to be favored by the emperor? If she doesn't have a hidden ailment, how could she lie to the emperor?”

”Honestly speaking, I'm also very puzzled. I've once tried to beat around the bush. I always felt that this concubine had something on her mind.” Ling Jiao'er thoughtfully said.

”Oh? Is that true? ” Lee An-zhu said, ”This matter can be big or small... Do you think your concubine knows about this? She's always been on good terms with Toshiba. ”

”Honestly speaking, chenqie really doesn't know …” Ling Jiao'er's face was filled with innocence.

”Wei'er, how about this. Go and ask about this in detail. If there's anyone who's deceiving the Emperor about this, we might even be able to gain some merits.” Lee Anson rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

”Merits?” Ling Jiao'er said in surprise.

”The sin of bullying the monarch! It's not a small matter! ” An Zhu said mysteriously.

Ling Xiu-Er lowered her head and chuckled, then raised her head with a face full of worry, ”But, I just promised. If my concubines and concubines knew that I was going to look for them, what would I do …” This concubine is still so favored by the emperor, I don't dare … ”In the end, if I were to speak of slander again, I will definitely die a horrible death …”

”What are you afraid of? You just go and check. When the time comes, I won't sell you out. I won't appear, so we'll let others deal with them!” A strange smile hung on Lee Anzhu's face.

”Are you saying that Jean …” Just as she was about to say something, Lee Anson interrupted her, ”You don't need to worry about this matter. You can only go and confirm that this concubine really has no hidden ailment. It's best to find out the reason. I'll handle the rest.”

”Fine, I'll listen to you. You actually told me this. I'll definitely do my best.” Ling Xiu-er nodded heavily as she replied.

In Yi Kun Palace, Jingzhi was writing a letter to the emperor while Rong'er was coaxing him. The two of them suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, as if something was about to happen. They looked at each other and shook their heads.

He asked, ”Rong'er, did the Emperor of the Sacrificial Sun, the filial queen of filial piety, go there a few days ago?”

Rong'er lightly shook his head, ”Right now, even Empress Xiao Zhao has stopped bringing the coffin to Gonghua City. The Emperor has only just arrived there, and is afraid that he will be affected by the scene. According to the emperor, he has only sent officials to pay their respects.”

”Sigh!” It's been four years since the empress left, and I do miss it. ” Sergei sighed.

Rong'er smiled bitterly, ”Me too. I often think about it and feel sad.”

”Now that the Crown Prince has started to learn, it's going to be hard to meet him.” Sergei sighed.

Rong'er nodded. ”I heard from the emperor that next year, the Hall of Tribute will be transformed into the crown prince's palace, allowing the crown prince and the crown prince to live separately.”

”He's a child of the imperial family after all, so wasn't he the same when he was young …” Kiki said softly.

”That's right!” Rong'er looked at the figure in her arms. One day, that figure would also leave her side …
