Chapter 754: Have you decided who to entrust the Fifth Prince to?
"But what is her purpose in doing this?"
Concubine Liang's gaze gradually became deeper: "Isn't this simple?"
"Noble Concubine Chen is so smart and clever that few in the harem can match her. She may have guessed that I want to raise the fifth prince. In this case, for me, Sister Haopin is the biggest obstacle."
Hearing this, Ruoli finally understood: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that Concubine Hao can't survive at all, but Doctor Tang, following the orders of Concubine Chen, deliberately announced to the public that Concubine Hao is not a problem. The purpose is to induce you to take action against Concubine Hao so that you can hold us hostage?"
Concubine Liang nodded slightly: "If not, do you really think that Concubine Chen is a bodhisattva who saves people from suffering and helps Concubine Hao for no reason?"
Ruoli frowned: "This Concubine Chen is too treacherous!"
"Poor Concubine Hao, she thought she was going to soar to the top after having a baby boy and being promoted to a concubine. Little did she know... all of this was a lie from Concubine Chen!"
Ruoli didn't know what he was thinking of, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Got it!"
"Your Majesty, if the truth is really as you guessed, why don't we find someone else to take the pulse of Concubine Hao? This way, we can expose Concubine Chen's lies and punish Imperial Doctor Tang for deceiving the emperor!"
"He is the confidant of the Imperial Concubine Chen. If he dies, it will be like cutting off one of the Imperial Concubine Chen's arms!"
Ruoli felt that what she had in mind was really great!
Concubine Liang shook her head slowly: "Not appropriate."
"First of all, all of this is just my guess. If I guess wrong, wouldn't I be accused of framing Concubine Chen?"
"Besides...she is a noble concubine with a title, and I am only the fourth concubine. I recommended Doctor Xu, and...what qualifications do I have to question the person recommended by Concubine Chen?"
Ruoli lowered her head: "Your Majesty is indeed thoughtful. What should we do now?"
"Nothing needs to be done."
Concubine Liang said slowly: "As long as I don't do anything to Sister Haopin, I won't fall into Concubine Chen's trap."
Ruoli still felt unsure: "But...but what if what Doctor Tang said is true, and Concubine Hao is lucky and can indeed survive?"
"Perhaps Concubine Chen knew what you were thinking, so she deliberately ordered Imperial Doctor Tang to do his best to save Concubine Hao, in order to prevent you from raising the fifth prince."
"It's not impossible..."
"As long as Concubine Hao lives, the Fifth Prince will not be able to visit Changchun Palace. Wouldn't all the preparations we made before be in vain?"
A trace of contemplation flashed across Concubine Liang's eyes: "What you said is not without reason."
"But now no one knows whether the fifth prince can be supported. We should not rush into anything."
"Let's take a step back... Even if you guessed Concubine Chen's intention, I am not the only one in the harem who wants to take action against Concubine Hao."
Why should she dirty her hands?
Ruoli nodded: "Yes."
"I still need to learn more from you, Madam Madam, and not be so impatient."
……
Chuxiu Palace.
Concubine Hao slept for a day and a night before waking up.
Chu Er had been guarding the bedside, and asked in surprise: "My Lady, you finally woke up?!"
Although the imperial physician Tang said that the queen still had about half a month to live, but the queen was so weak that no one could say for sure whether she would have an accident.
God knows how worried Chu'er is. The queen fell asleep and never woke up again...
Seeing the faint blue in Chu'er's eyes, Hao Bin asked distressedly: "You have been guarding here all the time, why don't you go down to rest for a while?"
Chu Er shook her head and smiled at Concubine Hao: "Your Majesty, I'm not in the way. When you were asleep, I took a nap beside your bed. I'm not tired at all!"
The main reason was that… the days she could spend with the Empress were getting shorter and shorter. So in the last half month, Chu Er wanted to stay by the Empress' side.
Concubine Hao's heart felt warmed.
In the past, she only knew that Chu'er was honest and a little naive, but she didn't know that she was so loyal.
Otherwise, she would definitely be better to Chuer.
"My lady, you have slept for so long, you must be hungry, right? I asked the kitchen to make some chicken soup, I will bring it to you right away."
After Chu'er served Concubine Hao her meal, Tang Luochuan came over to take her pulse.
He didn't say anything, but just asked Concubine Hao to take the medicine on time.
Although these medicines could not prolong Concubine Hao's life, they could make her more comfortable in the remaining days.
After eating and taking medicine, Concubine Hao regained some strength, but her face was still pale.
She looked towards the door, tears welling up in her eyes: "Can...can you let me see the Fifth Prince?"
She has yet to have a good look at the child she gave birth to at the cost of her life.
Chu Er's nose felt sore, and she shook her head and said, "My queen, the Fifth Prince is not in good condition. He Yuanpan has been guarding him and treating him. He Yuanpan said that the Fifth Prince should not be moved or visited by anyone now."
Concubine Hao lowered her eyes in disappointment: "It's okay... As long as the fifth prince is safe."
Chu Er was very sad and consoled her, "Your Majesty, when the Fifth Prince gets better, you will definitely be able to see him..."
Feeling her weak body, Concubine Hao said self-deprecatingly: "I am afraid that I won't be able to wait until then..."
Chu Er's tears fell: "My Lady..."
Concubine Hao shook her head at her: "Okay, I won't say such discouraging words anymore, and you don't cry either."
Chu Er said, "My queen, didn't His Majesty grant you the grace to choose a title after you wake up? You can choose a more auspicious one, maybe it will bring good luck, and both you and the fifth prince will get better."
"Didn't Concubine Liang want to harm you? Seeing that you not only survived, but also became the head of a palace with a good title, she must be sick to her stomach!"
Concubine Hao shook her head: "I don't need a title."
Facing Chu'er's puzzled look, she patiently said, "Your Majesty gave me this grace because I gave birth to the fifth prince for him, and because he pitied me for losing most of my life during childbirth."
“But the compassion in people, especially men, is used a little, and then it becomes less.”
"I do not want His Majesty to bestow a title on me. I only hope that he will show his compassion to the Fifth Prince and love him more in the future..."
Although it was the first time for Concubine Hao to be a mother, it was a mother's innate nature to love her children.
Chu'er wanted to cry again.
If the Queen could survive, how happy the Fifth Prince would be to have a mother who loves him so much and cares about him.
But God is unfair. No, it is Concubine Liang who is too vicious. She caused the Fifth Prince to lose his mother just when he was born!
Chu Er suppressed her sadness and asked, "My queen, have you decided who to entrust the fifth prince to?"
