Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice

Chapter 430: The Poor Man Plotting for a Way Out

Concubine De lazily bowed, "Yes."

After the meeting, Gongsun Zhaoyi came close to Concubine De and smiled flatteringly: "Your Highness is too fussy. She even asked my sister to copy books for such a small matter."

"Let me share the burden of copying the palace rules with my sister."

"You are wasting your delicate hands on copying books."

She looked at Concubine De's short and thick fingers and said this without blushing or beating her heart.

Concubine De had no idea about her own hands and proudly raised the armor on her little finger.

She glanced at Gongsun Zhaoyi and nodded proudly.

"Okay, thanks."

Gongsun Zhaoyi took the opportunity to talk to Concubine De for a long time, and only left after she made her feel comfortable. Then she went back to the palace to copy the palace rules for her.

In Zhaoqing Palace, Concubine Xian was not in a hurry to leave after the party ended. She would eat and drink for free every day before returning to her palace.

She rubbed her shoulders, which were sore from sword practice, with one hand, and advised, "Every time you punish Concubine De, the handwriting you hand in is different."

"Look, she's still doing what she wants. I don't think you can punish her."

"If you really want to scare her, you must first eliminate those who try to please her."

The imperial concubine sighed and said, "They have no children, so they can't rely on their children for their old age. How they live in their old age is up to the new emperor, and they are just betting on the King of Qin."

"Alas, they are just pitiful people who are trying to figure out their own way out."

"If Concubine De makes a mistake, I will punish her. This is the palace rule."

She rubbed her temple and said, "As for the rest, as long as they don't interfere with my management of palace affairs, let them do whatever they want."

Xian Fei looked at her intently, and the corners of her serious beauty's mouth curved slightly, and she said inexplicably: "No wonder Chu Er gets along well with you."

They are all people who can sympathize with the difficulties faced by others.

Over at the East Palace, Bei Jingchu faced another urgent matter after leaving court.

Chang Yan reported: "Your Highness, at Wanyuan, the Military Equipment Supervisor Zhou Huanjiu wants to ask the Imperial Physician for treatment, and he urgently needs your transfer order."

Important officials like Zhou Huanjiu could pass a sign to ask the imperial physician in the palace to see him.

But only ordinary imperial physicians can be hired. Only people of higher rank, such as the Imperial Physician Assistant, Bei Jingchu or the Imperial Concubine, can be mobilized.

Zhou Huanjiu came to her for help, he must be seriously ill.

Bei Jingchu suddenly became nervous, "Is Jiujiu sick?"

Changyan shook his head and said, "She is Zhou Jiancheng's mother."

Bei Jingchu relaxed, even though Jiujiu felt bad because of Madam Li's accident.

But for Bei Jingchu, no matter how close they are to each other, it is much more acceptable to her than if something happens to Jiujiu herself.

She ordered two imperial physicians to go to Wanyuan to see the patient, and then she packed her things and set off.

Since the emperor didn't assign her any work and she didn't need to help him review memorials, Bei Jingchu didn't have any urgent matters on hand.

When they arrived at Wanyuan, Zhou Huanjiu came out to greet her, his little face looking very haggard.

She apologized, "How could I have alarmed you? Just call the imperial physician."

Bei Jingchu followed her in and said casually, "I'm free, and I heard you were in trouble, so of course I came to see you."

Zhou Huanjiu took her to the guest room and talked about Madam Li's illness this time, saying worriedly: "The imperial physician who came before said that there is no way to save her, otherwise I would not have troubled you."

She couldn't help but have red eyes.

"Humans are so fragile. Minor illnesses or disasters can take away one's life."

"If my mother leaves too, I will be the only one left in the whole Wanyuan."

Bei Jingchu could only console him by saying, "The Imperial Physician's medical skills are much better than those of ordinary Imperial Physicians. Maybe it's not that serious."
