The severe winter Wan Zhu also fell ill, looking at Wan Zhu's worry;

Chatterbox Honeysuckle against the King's grace, the heart has a sad sigh.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and the atmosphere in the palace was also that of the New Year. As the war situation in the south wasn't too bad, the empress dowager and emperor were all in a good mood, but Rong'er couldn't get up happily, as she hadn't seen Jingzhi for three or four months, and had heard that she had been locked in the north wing, so she had gone to find the empress dowager and empress dowager in order to see Jingzhi, but both had not been granted permission. The empress dowager and empress dowager wanted this to end quickly.

Although her heart was free, she was too lazy to leave the palace. She sometimes thought to herself, whether it was good or not, because of the conflict between Master Zhi Zhi and the Emperor, she also missed the Emperor in her heart, but at the same time, she also thought that if the Emperor didn't save Jing`er, she wouldn't be able to face it. She would feel ashamed of herself and face Jing`er. At New Year's Eve dinner, she saw the emperor, but she didn't dare to look up. She was afraid, afraid that her longing would cause her to lose her determination. The king was her most trusted sister in the palace, but the emperor didn't want to save her …

Today, Toya and Rowland sat in her room and chatted.

"Sister Rong, the smile on your face is getting fewer and fewer." Toya said gently.

"Oh, yeah. I was worried about Jing`er. He was locked up in the Northern Reach. I don't know how he ate and drank, but he suffered a lot." Rong'er whispered.

"It's one thing to worry about Jing`er, and it's also another to miss the emperor. If you miss him, then show your weakness and send a message to the study room. If you ask to see the emperor and see what he treats you with, then he'll definitely meet you." Ruo Lan said softly.

Rong'er shook her head lightly. Right now, she didn't have any confidence in the emperor's ability to see her, but wasn't willing to see her at all, so how was she supposed to do so? She was afraid of the outcome, so she didn't want to try. The emperor must be angry with her.

"That's right, Sister Rong. Yesterday, I heard that Wan Pao has caught a cold and is quite ill. Let's take a look when we get the chance." Toya said softly.

"Hmm, that's right. I also heard about it. I plan to go visit them in the afternoon. Let's go together. This winter seems to be especially cold, and there are also a lot of sick people." Rong'er thought of Chuan'an.

"Sigh, I think it's your pavilion. The furnaces are burning so well, the house is warm, and the moment we leave the house, it's suddenly cold, so it's easy for us to get sick. The temperature inside and out of the house isn't too far off, and the ones who get sick are few in number." Ruo Lan smiled.

Hearing Ruo Lan's words, Rong'er quickly raised his head and asked, "Are the furnaces in your house not warm? "I was really careless. This winter, I felt so muddle-headed. I'll get someone to bring some charcoal to you guys."

"No need, the winter is almost over and the sky is also getting warmer. I was just casually saying that life like this has been going on for more than ten years. Compared to the palace maids, it's much better, so it won't be a problem." She had only said that without thinking, and she had not expected Rong'er to be so attentive.

Rong'er looked at Ruo Lan and Toya with guilt in his heart, "It's my fault. I also lived in that room before, but I actually forgot. It was my fault."

"Elder sister is overthinking things. Actually, it's not that cold either." Toya comforted her softly.

Because her heart had always been cold, she did not feel cold, so she let them go. "Indeed, it is my fault, you don't need to persuade me, I will get some people to send some wood charcoal over later, if you want to make my heart feel better, then don't refuse. In the afternoon, after lunch, we will go to see Wan Chau."

Seeing that Rong'er's tone was firm, Rowan and Toya both nodded in agreement.

Wan Zu was very sick, her face was red, her concubine and Chang Zai Tong took care of her together, Rong'er could see that their faces were haggard.

Wan Zhu fell asleep, the rest of them did not dare scratch in the house, leaving Chang Zai Tong to take care of him. They went out of the room and sat down in the hall. Rong'er seemed to have something to say to her, and since she hadn't returned to the Palace for a long time, she decided to stay for a while longer and let Rowland and Toya return to the palace, staying to chat with her concubines.

"Rong'er …" The concubine's eyes were slightly red as she said, "Why do I have a bad premonition? I think that the illness is very similar to that of Cheng Qing."

"Ah?" Isn't that a closed lung cough? What did the imperial physician say? " Rong'er hurriedly asked.

"The royal doctors said that the cold weather was easy to cause to turn into having their lungs shut and cough heavily, especially for these three to four year old children, who are also carefully treating them. But my heart has never let up, and I don't dare to say it to Chang Zai Tong, for fear that she will feel sad. " The concubine gently lowered her head, feeling a wave of unease in her heart.

"No, concubine, Wan Zhu will be fine, don't think too much." Rong'er hesitated, but still asked, "Has the emperor come to see it?"

"I saw it last night." The concubine nodded and asked hesitantly, "Rong'er, I've never had the chance to talk to you alone. I would like to ask, regarding concubines, does she really have a man she likes outside the palace? "

Rong'er raised her head to look at her concubine. She didn't think that her concubine would ask her this. She looked inquiringly at her concubine, but still told her the truth. "Probably. I heard that Jing'er knew that person before entering the palace. The two of them were truly in love. It's a pity that Jing'er didn't think that she would be unable to leave the palace ever after entering."

The concubine nodded, avoiding Rong'er's questioning gaze. "I really didn't expect her to fight so bravely. If she had accepted her fate and not stayed away from the emperor, perhaps she wouldn't have ended up like this."

"That's right. Although Jing Er gave up her life, this is exactly what Jing Er admires. She likes that person, and for that relationship, she chose to die. It's a kind of release for both of them to keep their promises …" Rong'er said softly.

"Actually... "Jing`er is really brave …" said the concubine quietly.

Rong'er looked at her concubine, not knowing why she suddenly felt this way. Perhaps she had seen through her concubine's doubts, but the concubine continued, "I was just a little surprised that a woman would reject the emperor for love's sake. I really can't see this kind of person."

"She is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. It's just that she usually looks weak and indifferent. Sigh!" "Jing'er is about to be interrogated. It's been a long time." Rong'er sighed with emotion.

The concubine nodded slightly, "I hope everything will be alright."

"Baoqing, can you see it often?" Rong'er suddenly thought of cleaning up.

The concubine shook her head bitterly. "If you can't see him, your prince will have to request permission in advance to enter the palace if you wish to see me. Rong'er, cherish the time you've spent with Prince Yin. When Brother A is older, you won't be a mother, or else you'll never be my servant. He's the one who's filial to the empress, while Wan Pai is mine, me and the Chang Zai Tong."

Looking at his concubine's face, Ronger thought bitterly, This... In other words, the royal family didn't have a biological mother, nor did they have any adoptive children …
