Harem Daily Life

Chapter 413 Do you think I really want to save her?

Lu Cairen encountered setbacks one after another, and felt like there was a fire burning in his heart, and he was so angry that he was fuming.

After returning to Mingcui Pavilion, she smashed a lot of things but still couldn't calm her anger.

The maid hurriedly advised: "Talented lady, we don't have many ornaments to begin with. What should we do if they are all broken? Besides, you are pregnant with the heir to the throne. Getting angry is harmful to your health. You must not get angry!"

Lu Cairen finally sat down, took a few deep breaths and said bitterly: "It's all my fault because of my low status. No one takes me seriously!"

The maid comforted him: "In fact, I shouldn't say this. Cairen now has the heir to the throne, and her future is limitless. Why bother asking others for Li Cairen's help? Li Cairen doesn't always speak kindly to you."

Worried that Lady Lu might not like to hear it, the maidservant didn't dare to say too much.

Lu Cairen sneered: "Do you think I really want to rescue her? It's not that I am alone in this deep palace, and it's hard to live without a helper. Besides, the one from Jingci Temple also sent a message to me, asking me to rescue her, otherwise I would not kneel down and beg Concubine Tao, and let her humiliate me!"

Thinking of Concubine Tao's disdainful look, Lu Cairen is still so angry that she wants to curse.

Seeing her master say this, the maid felt relieved and continued: "Concubine Li is not on good terms with the Queen Mother. I'm afraid she will never be able to return to the palace to retire in this life. You should just deal with her orders. Why bother to offend her? Besides, it's not a bad thing for Concubine Li to go to the cold palace. Concubine Li, have you ever thought that if Concubine Li is still by your side, when you give birth to a child, will Concubine Li take the child away to raise? She can't protect herself now, so she can't compete with you anymore."

After hearing what the maid said, Lu Cairen pondered for a long time. In fact, she didn't have any feelings for this elder sister. If it weren't for the interests involved, she wouldn't run around for her!

And what the maid said was right. If a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. She should think more about herself.

"Forget it. I've begged you and done what I should do. I've done my best for my sister. Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask a doctor to check my pulse. I don't know if I'm pregnant today."

The maid took the order and left. As luck would have it, the doctor on duty today was Liu.

He had finally cured General Gu and sent him out of the palace. Just as he was about to take a rest, a young palace maid came to invite him.

Originally, Doctor Liu didn't want to check Lady Lu's pulse, as he didn't have a good impression of the two sisters from the Lu family. But everyone else was on holiday on New Year's Day, so he had no choice but to take his medicine box and follow the maid to Mingcui Pavilion.

After a careful examination, Doctor Liu said, "The patient's pulse is normal, but she is a little weak. She can eat two more meals a day, five meals a day instead of three, to add more nutrition for the fetus in her belly to absorb."

Lu Cairen thought of another aunt in the Lu Mansion who was deliberately fattened by her aunt and ended up having a difficult delivery with an oversized baby. She said with a dark look in her eyes: "I heard that pregnant women should not eat too much, otherwise the fetus will be too large and too dangerous during delivery, so I didn't eat much."

Doctor Liu said, "It's fine for the first few months of pregnancy, but if the baby is not getting enough nutrition, it will be bad for the baby. After six months, you just need to control your diet appropriately. Your Majesty is still in the early stages of pregnancy, and the baby will not be stable until four months. It's best to eat as much as you can during this period."

Lady Lu nodded to show that she understood. Doctor Liu did not stay either. He picked up his medicine box and left.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard Lu Cairen say, "Doctor Liu, please stay."

Doctor Liu had no choice but to turn back and ask, "May I ask what else the talented scholar wants?"

Lu Cairen thought for a moment before saying, "I wonder if the Imperial Hospital saw any man last night?"

General Gu was poisoned by aphrodisiac, so he must detoxify. He must either find a woman or induce vomiting, otherwise he would not be able to endure it and exploded to death. Time was so tight last night that he could not go far even if he wanted to leave, and there was no news of any romantic affairs in the palace, so Cairen Lu guessed that General Gu must have gone to the Imperial Hospital.

Doctor Liu narrowed his eyes, but soon returned to normal: "That's not the case, but last night I prepared several hangover soups for the male guests who came to the banquet. I wonder if this counts?"

General Qi had sent General Gu here secretly, and he was the only one on duty that night, so no one else knew about it. Therefore, Imperial Physician Liu was not at all nervous when he told the story.

Lu Cairen frowned, wondering how General Gu escaped and where he went.

Imperial Physician Liu then took his leave and walked around a few times before heading to Changle Palace.

When Tao Yanyan learned that Doctor Liu came at this time, he guessed that he might be talking about his cousin, so he quickly asked Chang Tai to invite him in.

As expected, Imperial Doctor Liu was entrusted by Gu Yi to come and report on the matter of Chinese medicine.

"Your Majesty, General Gu is fine now. He has been sent back to the Ningyuan Marquis's residence to rest. He specifically asked me to report back so that Your Majesty wouldn't worry."

Tao Yanyan sighed: "Last night was really dangerous. I'm not afraid of being framed by Li Cairen, but I'm afraid that General Gu's health will be affected by this."

Doctor Liu comforted her, "If the poison is not removed, it will be very dangerous. At the very least, she will lose her ability and will never have children. At the worst, her body will explode and she will die. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time. General Gu has amazing perseverance and was able to endure so many induced vomiting. Finally, the poison was removed. Your Majesty, today, Lady Lu asked me to take her pulse and asked about this matter. I evaded the question. It seems that these two sisters were involved in the murder."

Tao Yanyan sneered. She originally thought that Lu Cairen would not do anything evil while she was pregnant. She didn't expect that two kinds of people could be born in the same nest. These two sisters were really bad to the core!

"These two sisters are really annoying! Doctor Liu, you have worked hard. Go back and rest early. You have been tired all night. I and the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion will remember this favor." After saying that, she asked Mingyue to hand over a hundred taels of silver.

Doctor Liu couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it: "It is my honor to serve you, Your Majesty. I would like to thank you for the consultation fee. I will take my leave now."

Tao Yanyan asked Chang Tai to send Doctor Liu out. Doctor Liu was not allowed to be promoted for five years because of prescribing medicine for her, and he paid a heavy price. She would never treat the people who helped her unfairly.

After everyone left, Tao Yanyan thought about it and decided that she couldn't just let the Lu sisters go, so she called Dong Fang: "You have skills, go to the cold palace at night and put a sack on Li Cairen and beat her up. She actually dared to hurt me, so I have to get over it."

Dong Fang took the order and went to the kitchen to find a sack. He had to find the dirtiest one, as it would be worthy of the vicious Li Cairen.

Li Cairen, who was alone in the cold palace, was cold and hungry. She never expected that one day, she, the envied favorite concubine in the harem, would fall to this point in the cold palace!

She was once a virtuous concubine, pampered by the emperor, but now she drinks cold water, eats cold and hard steamed buns, and curls up on a rotten bed without thick bedding!

What she couldn't have imagined was that she was put in a sack and kicked several times just after she cursed Tao Yanyan...
