In the study room of the inner courtyard of the Saigetsu Pavilion.

On a soft couch in the back, a sickly-looking woman was half-leaning on a soft pillow.

The lattice of the window beside her was slightly opened, and the breeze that blew in from time to time caused the sick-looking woman on the slump to cover her mouth and cough lightly.

At this time, the lord of Nanxiang County sat on the soft collapse, and when he heard the coughing sound of Concubine Zhe on the soft collapse, he pulled up the thin blanket covered by her with a worried face, and her tone was full of worry.

"Auntie, it's already autumn, it's cool, let people close the window."

has been in the palace for more than ten years, even if she was resentful when she left home, but in the past ten years, her company with Concubine Zhe and Concubine Zhe's doting on her have already worn away the hatred in her heart.

She was also afraid that Concubine Zhe would not be there, leaving her alone in this palace and no longer to rely on.

A smile appeared on Concubine Zhe's pale face, and she gently patted the back of Nan Xiang's hand.

"No need, it's not like you don't know that your aunt's cough is an old problem, and it has nothing to do with this cool breeze."

"Besides, if you are trapped in this Caiyue Pavilion all day long, if you don't let it breathe, you don't want to suffocate your aunt."

Nan Xiang laughed, picked up the medicine on the side, and persuaded softly.

"Auntie, this medicine is no longer hot, you can drink it quickly and rest."

The black medicinal juice in the medicine bowl exuded a bitter taste, and Concubine Zhe frowned just by smelling it.

"I don't know how much I drank these medicines, and the disease in this palace is not good, so it's better not to drink it."

Nan Xiang has long been accustomed to refusing every time she drinks medicine, and she smiled and picked up a plate of dates on the side, and patiently coaxed her.

"Auntie, don't be like a child, good medicine is bitter, and it will always be useful after taking it."

Concubine Zhe looked at Nanxiang with gentle eyebrows.

When she was young, she was with her for more than ten years, and now she has grown into a graceful girl, she said with a doting face.

"You, you actually preached to your aunt."

Nan Xiang saw that Concubine Zhe was in good spirits today, and she also laughed.

On the day she returned to the palace from King Yu's mansion, she was thrown in the downtown by Chu Yu because of Su Youning.

On the way back to the palace, she kept thinking that she should immediately ask Concubine Zhe to agree to her marrying into the palace of King Yu, and if Concubine Zhe did not agree, she even thought of begging the emperor.

It was only when she returned to Caiyue Pavilion that she knew that Concubine Zhe was sick again, and Concubine Zhe didn't agree that she wanted to marry Chu Yu, but now that she was sick again, Nan Xiang naturally didn't dare to mention this matter again.

I just hope that Concubine Zhe will get better as soon as possible, and she can finalize the marriage as soon as possible.

The maidservant Cui'er bowed in and reported after the salute.

"Niangniang, county lord, His Royal Highness King Yu is here with Princess Yu."

At the mention of Chu Yu, Nan Xiang instantly raised her eyebrows, but when she heard Chu Yu taking Su Youning with her, her face sank again.

Concubine Zhe's pale face also had a hint of joy, and she raised her hand and said.

"Invite them in."

Chu Yu's mother, Concubine Yu and Concubine Zhe, are both old people in Qiandi, and the two have a close relationship, so Chu Yu often came to Caiyue Pavilion when he was young.

After Concubine Yu's accident, although Chu Yu's temperament changed greatly, because of Nanxiang's relationship, he did not break off contact with Caiyue Pavilion.

Over the years, although the relationship between Chu Yu and Concubine Zhe is not particularly close, it can be regarded as a reliance in the lonely palace.

Nan Xiang lowered his eyes, holding the medicine bowl, and his tone was full of excitement.

"Auntie, Brother Yu, they are here, you drink the medicine first, the medicine will be even cooler if you can talk."

Concubine Zhe sighed, took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, Nan Xiang took the medicine bowl with only a little medicine residue left, and handed the dates over.

The sweet taste spread in her mouth, and the painful look on Concubine Zhe's face finally dissipated a little.

Su Youning pushed Chu Yu and walked in slowly.

Concubine Zhe looked at them with a gentle face.

"Yu'er is here, let the palace take a look."

"Hmm...... Sure enough, with the care of the princess, her complexion is much better. ”

found that the woman wearing palace clothes behind Chu Yu had slightly bright eyes, and a trace of approval appeared between her eyebrows.

"The lovely person behind her is Princess Yu, she is really virtuous and dignified."

Chu Yu bowed slightly, rarely showing a trace of respect.

"Concubine Zheniang."

Su Youning also stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"Youning has seen Concubine Zhe Niangniang, Niangniang Wan'an."

Concubine Zhe smiled quietly, and her tone was full of joy.

"Hurry up, hurry up, this weak body of this palace makes you see a joke."

After they finished saluting, the county lord of Nanxiang saluted Chu Yu with a sweet voice.

"Brother Yu."

Chu Yu replied with a faint smile, just this smile was enough for Nanxiang to jump for a while.

Several people exchanged pleasantries, but Su Youning always stared at the medicine bowl on Concubine Zhe's soft edge.

There were still some medicine residues left in the medicine bowl, and a slight bitter taste wafted from there.

Su Youning smelled the smell of medicine, and then looked at Concubine Zhe, who had a slight cough from time to time, she probably knew what the problem was, but she still needed to diagnose the pulse to further determine.

She leaned over slightly and whispered in Chu Yu's ear.

"Youning already knows what is going on with Concubine Zhe's illness."

Chu Yu's eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his lips also raised a smile.

It was only a moment after entering the study, and Su Youning found the illness so quickly, which inevitably made Chu Yu feel a little admired.

Su Youning leaned over to talk to Chu Yu, but Chu Yu's gentle smile made Nan Xiang, who had been watching them, red-eyed.

She was about to speak, but she saw Su Youning slowly stepping forward, and then gently saluted.

"Niangniang, Youning sees that your face is pale, can you ask Youning to check your pulse?"

Concubine Zhe's eyes were stunned, and then she smiled gently.

"Princess Yu still understands medical skills?"

Su Youning smiled lightly.

"I know a little bit about it."

Nan Xiang had a grudge against Su Youning for a long time, how could she let her be in the limelight in front of her aunt and Chu Yu at this moment.

"Niangniang's illness is taken care of by the doctor of the hospital, so the princess doesn't have to worry about it."

Concubine Zhe's gentle eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she reprimanded in a low voice.

"Nanxiang must not be rude."

Nan Xiang still sat on the soft floor with a cold face, and stopped speaking after listening to Concubine Zhe's words.

Su Youning knew that this county lord was hostile to her, but she didn't expect that she would have to stop her aunt's illness, and was about to speak, Chu Yu behind him said lightly.

"The princess of this palace has good medical skills, and she may really be able to relieve her mother."

Now that Chu Yu has opened his mouth, there is no longer a sound of obstruction in the study.

Concubine Zhe said with a faint smile.

"It's hard for you to still think about the disease of this palace, even so, it will bother Princess Yu."

Su Youning smiled, slowly stepped forward and took out a pocket medicine bag from his wide sleeve, and gently put the silk handkerchief on Concubine Zhe's wrist.

After carefully checking the pulse, Su Youning's eyebrows gradually wrinkled, and she sniffed carefully with the medicine bowl that had been drunk, and then put the medicine bowl down.

"Is the mother tired all day long, sweating all over her body, once she gets sick, she is like a cold, she has chills, cough and insomnia."

Concubine Zhe listened to Su Youning's description, and her expression gradually became solemn.

"It's exactly what you said."

Su Youning bowed his head slightly and withdrew the silk handkerchief.

"Can you give the prescription of the imperial doctor every time you get sick?"

Concubine Zhe coughed lightly again, Nan Xiang frowned slightly and stepped forward to pat Concubine Zhe's back, displeased.

"Auntie's prescriptions are all in charge, and Aunt Su has put them away."

mentioned Mama Gusu, Nan Xiang found out that she hadn't seen Mama Gusu this time.

"Auntie, Nanxiang went to call Cui'er in and ask."

Chu Yu, who was leaning on a wheelchair with a lazy look, said lightly.

"There's no need to call Cui'er, Mama Gusu is disrespectful to the princess, and the palace asked her to kneel at the door of the inner courtyard to think about it."
