After all, the empress dowager was not a young person. She had a little osteoporosis, which was why she broke her bone so easily. Upon hearing this, Luo Xue walked in to say her farewells to the empress dowager.

"Queen, it's been hard on you. I'm fine. You're pregnant, so you can't be tired. Why don't you go back and rest?" The empress dowager's tone was a lot gentler. It seemed that what she wanted was for Luo Xue to lower her head. Since Luo Xue had given her face, she didn't care anymore.

"Thank you for the empress dowager's concern. It's alright, there's no major issues now. You can walk like a normal person." Luo Xue smiled. She didn't want to target anyone, especially in a place like this where she had no relatives or relatives, it was better to have friends than enemies.

"Esteemed Empress, the empress dowager wants to take the medicine, please move." At this moment, the palace maid came in with the soup.

Luo Xue was in a very good mood, so she took the soup and fed it to the empress dowager, who accepted it with a smile. It could be seen that the empress dowager was in a very good mood. She even intentionally left Luo Xue behind for dinner that night and ordered someone to invite the emperor over.

She knew that she had to do something, or else she would be bullied by them every day. As her master, she did not care, but following her people in the palace, she would puke until she vomited.

Helian Yu was extremely surprised to receive the message from the empress dowager's palace, but did the girl's willingness to stay for dinner mean that she had already forgiven him and accepted him?

Helian Yi put down the imperial report and prepared to head to the empress dowager's palace.

"Your Majesty, Prince Cheng requests an audience."

"Let him come tomorrow. Zhen wants to go to the empress dowager's palace." Helian Yi asked with a frown.

"Royal brother, we still have some time before dinner, there shouldn't be a need to rush like this. Can you spare some time for your younger brother?" As he spoke, Prince Cheng had actually arrived in front of the palace and heard Helian Yi's words clearly.

"Brother Wang, what's the matter? Can't you tell me in the morning court?" Helian Yi looked at his smiling little brother with displeasure. Although there were many brothers, this Prince Cheng was the only one who did not have any ambitions. It was precisely because of this that he had the right to freely enter and exit the palace.

"Royal brother, you've already ordered for this matter to not be mentioned again. My younger brother is helpless as well. He has to bear the orders of a hundred officials and has no choice but to come and harass my imperial brother." Prince Cheng smiled.

"I have already said that the Empress no longer has any relationship with the Situ Family. I will not cripple her." When Helian Yi heard this, his face sank.

"Chendi thinks so too, but the civil and military officials think differently, not to mention that the empress is pregnant right now, which puts pressure on many officials. Everyone is worried that their mother will be a noble son, and once the prince is born, Situ will return to the throne. When that happens, there will be more strife." Prince Cheng, Helian Ze, stepped forward and advised.

"I have an idea in my heart. Little brother Wang, do you think I'm a person who has lost his mind?" Helian Yi said with a dark expression.

"Of course not. I am only expressing the views of the various officials. I do not include the opinions of the younger brother. Please calm your anger, Imperial Brother." Seeing that his boss was about to lose his temper, Helian Ze immediately apologized.

"Younger brother Wang, since you've come, then you should follow me to the empress dowager's palace. Tonight, the empress will stay at her palace for dinner. You should also meet her and see if she's the kind of woman everyone is talking about." Helian Yi looked at her smiling brother and suddenly said.

"That's good too, chendi just so happens to have to pay respects to the empress dowager." Prince Cheng agreed with a smile.

Her Majesty's Palace of Fortune

"Esteemed empress, the empress dowager has already fallen asleep. Are we going to wait for the emperor here?" Seeing that the empress dowager had fallen asleep, Luo Xue stood up and rubbed her waist. She looked out the window and immediately whispered to Xiao Lan.

"Wait a bit, I've already promised the empress dowager. Why not take a walk outside and admire the scenery?" Luo Xue raised her head and looked at the silhouette in the outer hall as she softly sighed.

They had all heard that Helian Chen was coming, and none of them wanted to leave. If they decided to stay here and wait to see the Emperor, how could they be disappointed?

"Mistress, you are too soft-hearted." Xiao Jie glanced at the concubines and muttered.

"You will understand in the future, and I'll teach you all a sentence, no matter what, 'Women must not make things difficult for women,' especially this harem. You all have seen that the emperor only has one, but as for her concubines, there are more than a dozen of them here. Think about it, everyone feels wronged." When she came out, Luo Xue looked back at her concubine who was still guarding inside the palace and sighed.

"Mistress, even if you're magnanimous, they wouldn't think like that. Before entering the palace, my mother said, 'You can't have any intentions of harming others, but you can't let your guard down.'" Xiao Lan looked warily behind her, and sure enough, a concubine was looking at her.

"Xiao Lan, thank you. I've remembered everything you've said. I promise I won't let anyone bully me." She knew that these little girls were doing this for her own good, but her principle was that it would be better to have one more friend than one more enemy, and not to make enemies easily.

"Little girl, who bullied you?" When Helian Yi arrived, Chen heard the word "bully" and immediately strode in.

"It's not who bullied me, it was you who bullied the women in the palace." Luo Xue tilted her head and saw Helian Chen wiping her mouth as she spoke.

"My little brother greets you, sister-in-law." Prince Cheng said to Luo Xue Li.

"You are …" She did not know much about the members of the royal family, nor did she know much about them. However, she called herself her younger brother, could it be that she was the younger brother of Helian Yi Chen?

"Hurry and call the imperial physician." said Helian Chen, sitting on the bed and shaking Her Majesty's hand.

"Empress Dowager, does your leg hurt?" Luo Xue observed the empress dowager and felt that something wasn't right. Logically speaking, the leg should have been splinted and bandaged so it shouldn't hurt so much, but from the looks of it, the empress dowager seemed to be in pain.

"No …" No, his whole body was in pain … This... Ah … "And this …" Her Majesty first pointed to her heart, then to her abdomen, then to her arms … It was as if his entire body was in pain.

"Little girl, quickly take a look. What's wrong with the empress dowager?" Helian Yi said hurriedly. The imperial physician was not here, so Helian Yi could only rely on Luo Xue.

"I don't really know how to take a pulse yet, I think I'll just wait for the imperial physician." Luo Xue didn't dare to casually agree. She didn't know how to feel her pulse, but if she made a mistake and had so many pairs of eyes watching, she would be in trouble. However, she couldn't bear to hear the empress dowager cry out so miserably.

Ever since she found out that Xiao Long was only Helian Xi disguised as Chen Hao, Luo Xue became wary of the royal family's princes, especially Helian Yi's brothers.

"You only need to know that he's my little brother. You don't need to know anything else." Seeing Luo Xue's expression, Helian Xi Chen understood immediately.

"Your servant/servant greets the emperor, your highness." The people of the palace bowed to Helian Chen and Prince Cheng. When the concubines in the palace heard the commotion outside, they all appeared one by one. Moreover, they were extremely graceful.

"It's getting late, why haven't you returned to the palace yet?" Helian Yi said with a cold expression.

This was very different from what he had imagined. He thought that there was only Luo Xue in the empress dowager's palace, but he didn't expect that he would see so many women. Could it be that the empress dowager wanted to remind him to make the rain even?

"Greetings to esteemed imperial concubine, esteemed wangfei Hui …" In her heart, Helian Ze was actually very happy. She didn't expect that there would be so many people gathered today. It seems that the empress dowager was very considerate, but he also took this opportunity to observe the empress.

At the very least, Ming Chen could give the officials an explanation.

"Greetings, Your Highness." The concubines replied.

"The empress dowager is sleeping. Your majesty and the prince should sit down first. Your servant will instruct the kitchen to prepare." A servant of the Palace of Fortune asked for instructions from Helian Chen.

"Little girl, has the empress dowager's injuries improved?" Helian Yi considerately helped Luo Xue to sit down.

When they heard her call her a little girl, they felt extremely jealous.

"If the empress dowager has a fracture, she'll have to rest for at least half a month." Luo Xue replied. Although the medical conditions here weren't as modern as they were today, the empress dowager's health was good, the palace had many precious medicinal ingredients, and the imperial physician treated her in time.

"Eh, royal brother, does royal sister-in-law know about medicine?" Helian Ze didn't pay much attention to the way the emperor addressed his wife. He only listened to them discuss the empress dowager's injuries in surprise.

"A little." Luo Xue said humbly.

"Little girl, if you call that a little bit more knowledgeable, then all of our great hospitals are quack doctors." Helian Yi said proudly.

"It's not the same. I'm studying surgery, and the doctors at the hospital are both internal and external. Don't praise me." Losey knew what Helene wanted to say, but cesarean section was really just a minor operation in modern times.

"Imperial brother, according to what you said, imperial sister-in-law …"

"Empress Dowager, what's wrong?" Prince Cheng was curiously asking about Luo Xue, but the palace maid's exclamations of surprise came from the inner hall.

"Someone come quick, someone come quick, the empress dowager …" The empress dowager's condition worsened … Hearing the exclamations from the inner hall, Helian Yi Chen was the first to rush in.

The empress dowager's face was pale as she opened her mouth to breathe.

It hurts, it hurts, Your Majesty..." "Is This Dowager about to die …" Her Majesty clutched her chest and whined, looking extremely miserable.

"Strange, it shouldn't be like this?" The empress dowager only injured her leg, how could she … Luo Xue placed her hand on the Empress Dowager's pulse. Her pulse beat abnormally, her heart rate was sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Could it be that the Empress Dowager had some other illness?

"It hurts, Queen, it hurts all over This Dowager's body …" "Is This Dowager about to die …" The empress dowager's cries became louder. Everyone could clearly feel her pain, and her forehead was covered with sweat. This showed that her body was in extreme pain and suffering.

"We should wait for the imperial physician to arrive. I'm really not too sure. Is the empress dowager sick?" Luo Xue felt helpless. If she had modern medical equipment, she would definitely be able to find it. But now, with just her hands and experience, she was truly powerless.

"I've never heard the imperial physician mention it."

"Esteemed wangfei, the empress dowager is still young, so how could she be sick? Take a closer look. Apart from her legs, did she fall anywhere else?" Prince Cheng watched from the side, also very worried.

"Alright, then I'll ask the two of you to leave first." Luo Xue nodded. Prince Cheng's words made a lot of sense. Perhaps the empress dowager didn't notice the other wounds on her body, or maybe …

"Water... "This Dowager wants to drink water …" Her Majesty held onto Luo Xue's hand tightly, not willing to let go.

"Majesty, the water is here." The servant immediately brought water and a spoon to feed her.

Luo Xue was grabbed by the empress dowager with one hand, so there was nothing else she could do. She could only quietly watch and wait, waiting for her to return to normal.

"Ah …" Suddenly, the maid who had been feeding the water screamed. The bowl of water in her hand fell to the ground, and Helian Xi Chen, who had just walked into the outer room, immediately rushed back.

"Spoon..." Spoon Dark... "It's dark?" The Palace Mistress trembled as she pointed at the silver spoon on the ground. The spoon that was previously as white as snow had now turned into a black spoon.
