Gu Jieyu was upset when she heard this.

She knew that one step was slow and every step was slow, so even if Li Fen was not weaned yet, she would acquiesce and even be grateful to her father for working hard for His Highness in the court.

At that time, being aggressive towards His Highness, who was still the Crown Prince, was actually quite thankless.

If His Highness hadn't been there and His Majesty was still thinking about his youngest son, he probably wouldn't have even looked at her.

But sometimes, Gu Jieyu also wonders, is it really that urgent?

Fen'er is still so young, His Highness is rumored to be crazy, and Master Guan Sheng has fallen ill recently, so he is very close to her.

Under such circumstances, it is better to raise your little highness well, and be diligent and intelligent in his studies in the future, so that he will not be afraid of being unable to surpass the timid Li Mian and Li Lin who does not have the support of his maternal family.

However, what my mother said is not unreasonable.

She did not bow to the imperial concubine, fearing that someone else would. The Holy Sage had just rewarded Cuihua Palace with so many things, and also invited an imperial doctor, which showed that he trusted and valued the imperial concubine.

"Mommy," Gu Jieyu lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty is not old yet. Now the Imperial Concubine is the one who has the upper hand. She can use us if she wants. She can support the newcomers if she wants. She has the final say."

"It is precisely because Your Majesty is immortal that we have the current situation," Mother Nian said bluntly, "If it was only a year or two at most, how could His Highness be so eager to be plotted by Li Du?

Being more than ten years older than the other princes has always been an advantage for His Highness, but this advantage is a double-edged sword. He is afraid that by the time His Majesty is old, the other Highnesses will also have grown up.

Similarly, don't think that the imperial concubine 'has the final say', there are also things she has no say in.

She is getting older and she can’t give birth to a son no matter how hard she tries, so she has no other choice but to help other people’s sons!”

Gu Jieyu said after a while: "I think the imperial concubine's thoughts are not on this. She wants to save worries and get involved in the fight. It is not in line with her temperament."

Aunt Nian comforted her and said, "Everyone in the palace can't help themselves."

Gu Jieyu nodded thoughtfully: "Then I will go to greet you tomorrow and say good things first. This matter cannot be rushed. If I can't calm down and yell in a hurry, I may be looked down upon by the imperial concubine.

"

Things went counterproductive.

Gu Jieyu thought about it, but Cuihua Palace was still closed the next day.

It was said that the imperial concubine was unwell and needed to take medicine to recuperate for a few days.

In Cuihua Palace, the imperial concubine was lying on the couch, looking miserable and in poor spirits.

Eunuch Jin reported: "Master, everyone who came here has been advised to go back. Mr. Liu, Gu Jieyu has returned. Concubine De said that she knew that you were in poor health and didn't want to bother you, so she sent someone to say hello."

The imperial concubine didn't even raise her eyebrows: "She is quite knowledgeable."

Eunuch Jin withdrew, and only grandma stayed with her.

The hall was quiet, and there was no movement for a long time.

The imperial concubine has always had such a stable and gentle temperament, and her grandmother has long been accustomed to her behavior over the years, but precisely because of familiarity, she vaguely feels that the recent days are different from the previous years.

"Your Majesty," knowing that the Imperial Concubine was not asleep, Grandma explained softly, "You are just too tired from serving the Holy Lord the past few days. You will be able to recover in a few days of rest."

"You don't need to persuade me," the imperial concubine said hoarsely, "I have a heart problem and I know it myself."

Having said that, there is indeed no need to persuade.

If you are too self-aware and see too clearly, you will not be easily deceived by others, and of course you will not listen to any words of encouragement that whitewash peace.

After lying there for another quarter of an hour, the imperial concubine spoke again: "Send someone to go to Cining Palace to report that I am resting for half a month. During this time, I will not go to greet the Empress Dowager. I am responsible for all matters in the palace."

, I will still do a good job so that the Queen Mother does not have to worry. If the princess comes to the palace and invites her to sit in Cuihua Palace, I have no one else to talk to to relieve my boredom, so why not chat with the Queen Mother’s treasure?

Homely."

Grandma should come down.

On the fourth day of the imperial concubine's rest, Lin Yunyan arrived at Cining Palace.

After chatting with the Queen Mother for a while, they went to Cuihua Palace.

As soon as she entered the main hall, Lin Yunyan smelled a faint smell of medicine. As she walked further in, she saw the imperial concubine sitting with an empty bowl of soup in her hand. She was frowning and putting candied fruit in her mouth.

Lin Yunyan saluted.

The imperial concubine motioned for her to sit down, and soothed the bitter taste in her mouth, and said, "I'm not afraid of your laughter. I'm really tired of these bitter medicines. I have to take medicine for my heart ailments. Drinking these things is in vain."

Subconsciously, Lin Yunyan thought she was referring to the Holy Emperor falling ill due to Li Shao's madness.

Taking a closer look, Lin Yunyan suddenly realized that the imperial concubine was probably talking about herself.

Last time, the imperial concubine revealed Li Shao's worries to her in private and helped them. This time, Lin Yunyan would also listen to the imperial concubine carefully, even if the empress just wanted to complain.
