Thinking of this, Lu Jiao felt a chill. She had been free and easy for so many years, and it was really unfortunate that she had to greet someone in the end.

But think about your current status, let's get up.

This queen is not simple, she is the prime minister's first daughter, the prime minister has controlled the government for many years, and pushed her daughter to the position, now His Majesty bestows on the prime minister the title of Jingping.

The Cao family also became a prestigious family in the imperial court, and the appointment of many officials in the Yao Kingdom was controlled by the prime minister.

It can be said that half of the Ji family's country is in the hands of the Cao family, and Prime Minister Cao is smooth inside and outside, and is very good at winning people's hearts. Even if he climbs to a high position, he will not offend the family of the Yao country and get along very well Well, in this way, almost everyone in Yao Kingdom is controlled by him.

Even if Ji Cang wanted to fight back, he was powerless.

Because of the power of the Cao family, the queen of the middle palace has an extremely stable position in the palace, and ordinary people dare not offend this empress.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Jiao got up to wash her hands and went to pay her respects to the queen.

Before leaving, she asked about the Seventh Prince's situation, knowing that Ji Xiu was fine now, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The Empress lives in Fengyang Palace, not too far from Yongfu Palace, but not close either.

Lu Jiao didn't sit in a sedan chair, and led the people there. When she arrived at the gate of Fengyang Palace, she was so weak that her steps were frivolous, her face was as pale as paper, as if a gust of wind could blow her down. Seeing her like this, I couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

This guy is in such a miserable state now?

God, it's too pitiful.

Really poor.

This is also Lu Jiao's purpose, to sell miserably, she doesn't want to get mixed up in Gongdou, Ji Xiu is still young, and she doesn't have the mind to fight with the brothers above, so she came here today just to avoid living in Yongfu palace.

Sure enough, when Lu Jiao walked in, the queen and concubine saw her like this, and they no longer had the intention to ridicule her. They even guessed that the emperor carried her up because she was about to die. .

But the queen still pays more attention.

This woman can't pretend.

"Bai Concubine's face is so ugly, is it because of her poor health?"

The queen did not wait for Lu Jiao to speak, and forcefully ordered the eunuch to invite the imperial doctor over.

The imperial doctor came over to check, and muttered a few words to the queen, the voice was a little low, and the people of His Highness couldn't hear clearly, but seeing the empress's pitiful eyes, the people of His Highness knew that this concubine Bai was really weak, so everyone There is no need to focus on her.

Lu Jiao saved her troubles and sat quietly on the stool to watch the fun. When someone looked at her, she would pant hard, as if she was about to be out of breath.

The queen couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Concubine Bai, you are not in good health, come over every five or ten days to pay your respects, and spend the rest of the time in your palace to take care of yourself."

Lu Jiao got up immediately and said: "Thank you, empress, I thank you, empress."

After thanking you, the queen signaled everyone to retreat.

Originally, many people planned to deal with Concubine Bai today, but they disappeared in the end.

When Lu Jiao returned to Yongfu Palace, she saw that Emperor Ji Cang had come over.

She saluted Ji Cang: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Seeing her limp and unsteady legs, Ji Cang quickly said, "Okay, sit down."

After Lu Jiao thanked her, she walked to one side and sat down, and then began to pant heavily, like a drowning fish. Seeing her like this, Ji Cang sympathized with her, and at the same time felt that he felt sorry for Lu Jiao. sense.

He was also in poor health, and whenever he faced the aggressive courtiers in the court hall, he felt almost suffocated, and felt that he could not breathe for several times.

It was such a bad feeling.

Ji Cang said, "Are you okay living here?"

Lu Jiao nodded: "Thank you Your Majesty for thinking about it, I'm much better now."

Ji Cang sighed, and said softly: "You are much gentler now, if you were not too sharp in the past, why would I punish you like that?"

Lu Jiao grinned, trying to give him a sneer.

Even your majesty in this palace can't be the master, so you won't be punished if you don't say it?

But she didn't say anything, instead she motioned for someone to pour tea.

This morning, she performed at the empress's side, so that the empress, noble concubine and others would not miss her, but with Ji Cang, she acted in a different way.

She had to make Ji Cang feel that she was different, so that he would come over here from time to time. As long as Ji Cang walked here, even if it was not overnight, the people in the palace would not be too blatant. Their mother and child are not good.

Lu Jiao thought about waiting for Qinglian to serve the tea, she took it herself, and when Qinglian was not paying attention, she poured a drop of spiritual spring water into the teacup.

She won't change anyone's fate, but Ji Cang can let Ji Cang drink a drop of spiritual spring water once in a while, and make him feel that if he comes to her, he will be in good health. Maybe he will think that she is his lucky star.

Ji Cang didn't want to drink it at first, but when he saw Lu Jiao serving the tea with his own hands, he took a sip anyway. After one sip, he felt that the tea seemed to be more fragrant than tea from other places, so he took another two sips. After drinking this kind of tea, I feel much better.

But Ji Cang still stood up after drinking the tea: "You take a good rest, if you need anything, send someone to tell me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Sending Ji Cang away, Lu Jiao went back to her room to sleep in the cage until a ray of light stared at her. Even in her sleep, Lu Jiao still felt the horror of her scalp bursting open. She quickly opened her eyes and saw With her eyes closed, a pillow covered her face.

She raised her hand and slapped the pillow away, and then saw Ji Xiu standing in front of the bed, staring at her sullenly.

Lu Jiao sighed, looked at him and said, "Didn't I say that I am not your concubine mother? I am a fairy from the sky, here to protect you, how can you suffocate me with a pillow, and you can't smother me to death." I."

She reminded Ji Cang: "You forgot about poisoning me before. If I were your mother and concubine, I would have been poisoned to death by you long ago, but I am not. I can't be poisoned to death. You see, you want to cover up now." Kill me, I felt it right away, didn't I?"

Ji Xiu was too young to understand Lu Jiao's words, and fixed her eyes on Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao looked at him and said warmly, "Come on, look carefully, do I look like your concubine mother?"

Lu Jiao had already looked in the mirror and found that her current appearance was somewhat similar to her own appearance, but the original body always had a gloomy face, as if someone owed her eight million. Grinding, his face looked mean and cold, and he looked older than he should have been.

But Lu Jiao's expression was peaceful, with a slight smile on her face, her whole person seemed to have changed, she was weak and pitiful, and she was no longer mean and gloomy as before, like a delicate flower beaten by rain, which made people feel pity.

After hearing her words, Ji Xiu stared at her fixedly, turned around and left without saying a word for a long time.
