The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 165: Concubine Shu

The banquet will last until the quarter after midnight.

Therefore, the emperor, the empress and Concubine Shu left when the banquet was halfway through.

They are just here for the occasion and show up for a while.

After they left, the civil and military officials were no longer under pressure and began to relax. The atmosphere became much more lively.

Everyone left their seats and toasted each other in groups of three or five.

Tang Peipei originally wanted to look for Ye Yunshu.

At this time, a palace maid came from the side and stopped in front of her.

He whispered in her ear, "Madam Mu, Imperial Concubine Shu wants to see you."

Tang Peipei looked at Princess Qinghe who was sitting next to her and saw her nod.

She then said to the palace maid, "Please lead the way, aunt."

The palace maid took two steps back, then turned around and took Tang Peipei to where Concubine Shu was.

The palace where Concubine Shu lived was right next to the Emperor's Hall of Mental Cultivation and was called Shukun Palace.

This shows the emperor's love for Concubine Shu.

Tang Peipei followed the palace maid all the way around the imperial garden and stopped in front of the gate of Shukun Palace.

The palace maid said politely, "Please wait here for a moment, Madam Mu. I will go and pass the message on."

Tang Peipei nodded and watched the palace maid enter Shukun Palace.

After a while, the maid came back again and said to Tang Peipei with a smile: "Madam, come with me."

Tang Peipei said politely: "Aunt, lead the way."

The palace maid took Tang Peipei around the front yard and came to the main hall.

At this time, Concubine Shu was leaning on the chaise longue, drinking tea.

Seeing Tang Peipei coming, he waved to her casually and said, "Come in."

Tang Peipei walked to the front of Imperial Concubine Shu and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Imperial Concubine!"

Concubine Shu smiled and winked at the nanny beside her, then said, "Quickly, don't be polite."

The nanny who received the signal from Concubine Shu stepped forward, helped Tang Peipei up, and said with a smile: "Madam, please get up quickly."

Tang Peipei smiled gratefully at the nanny, and politely said to Concubine Shu: "Thank you, Concubine!"

Seeing her like this, Concubine Shu smiled even happier and said, "Look, you are such a good and polite child. Please give me a seat."

At this time, the palace maid who had just led Tang Peipei over brought over a stool.

After Tang Peipei expressed her gratitude, she only sat in one-third of the seat, waiting for Concubine Shu to speak.

She didn't know why Concubine Shu called her here, so she could only wait for her to speak.

Tang Peipei looked at his ears and nose, and his nose and heart.

Concubine Shu sighed and said, "I guess you are also curious about why I said in front of the emperor that I want you to diagnose my pulse, right?"

Tang Peipei looked at her with doubt in her eyes.

Concubine Shu smiled bitterly and said, "You have just arrived in the capital. I guess you don't know what the situation is in the capital now, or what the situation is in the palace, right?"

Not only was this her first time arriving in the capital, it was also her first time encountering the twists and turns of the capital's dignitaries, so naturally she knew nothing.

Tang Peipei didn't know what she meant, nor what she wanted to do, so she didn't say anything.

After all, although she didn't know what was going on in the capital, she understood one thing.

That is, she is not alone. Now that she is married to Mu Jintang, she has entered the political arena of the capital.

So what she did not only represents herself, but also represents Mu Jintang.

Mu Jintang's identity does not allow him to take a wrong step, at least not on the surface, nor does it allow him to be suspected of taking sides.

Apart from the fight for succession in the harem, she didn't know what other situations could make a royal concubine speak to her like this.

Even if Princess Qinghe hinted, she would not agree to anything so easily.

Seeing that she was still unmoved.

Concubine Shu had no choice but to wave to the palace maids and nannies waiting on the side, signaling them to leave.

After everyone left, Concubine Shu seemed to relax and smiled gently at Tang Peipei.

"I have been in the palace for ten years. Ten years is a whole youth!"

Tang Peipei looked up at her, then lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

But Concubine Shu didn't care. She said to herself, "In the past ten years since I entered the palace, I have fought wits and courage with those people. Now I am still the head of a palace. I can be regarded as the most important person in the harem except for the queen. But what's the use of getting all these? What's the use of being favored by the emperor? I will still end up alone and have no children!"

There was nothing but sadness in Concubine Shu's eyes.

At this point, Tang Peipei had some idea of ​​what Concubine Shu was asking for.

But she couldn't say anything about this matter.

I only heard Concubine Shu continue: "I thought that not having children was God's will, but I just found out not long ago. It turns out that all this is not God's will, it is all man-made. Haha~~" When she said this, Concubine Shu's eyes were full of cruelty.

"She thought it was perfect, but who knew I would find out."

Tang Peipei didn't know who the person she was talking about was, and she didn't want to know. These were all secret histories of the palace. The more she knew, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.

Isn’t there a saying that the more you know, the faster you die?

However, she didn't want to know, but someone wanted to tell her.

"The Queen doesn't want me to get pregnant, but I just don't want to do what she wants. So, when I knew you could even cure the epidemic in Qianzhou, I thought you might be able to cure me, Madam Mu."

Tang Peipei had a bitter look on her face and looked up at Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu was stunned when she saw this, and then she actually laughed.

He said to Tang Peipei: "I'm really sorry, but don't worry, I won't let you help me for nothing."

Tang Peipei shook her head and said, "My Lady, I don't know whether I can help you with this matter or not."

Concubine Shu naturally knew what she was worried about, and said casually: "Don't worry, even if you can't cure me, I won't embarrass you, and I won't let others know what you heard today."

Tang Peipei was in mixed emotions at the moment, but there was nothing she could do. She had come this far already, and it was impossible to pretend that she knew nothing.

Forget it, since she is willing to lower her status and call herself me, just let her see it.

She took the initiative to stand up, walked to the front of Concubine Shu, and said to her: "Please give me your hand, Concubine Shu, so that I can feel your pulse."

Concubine Shu was delighted and quickly stretched out her hand.

Tang Peipei gently placed her hand on the wrist she stretched out, carefully feeling the movement of the veins.

Time flies by minute by second.

Concubine Shu became more and more anxious.

After a cup of tea, Tang Peipei finally withdrew her hand and looked at Concubine Shu and said, "Your Majesty, the situation may be more serious than you think."

When Concubine Shu heard this, she instantly lost all her strength and slumped down on the chaise longue.

Looking at Tang Peipei, he said in a disappointed tone: "Is there nothing you can do?"

Tang Peipei shook her head and then nodded.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu's mood was up and down, and she had no idea what she meant.
