I thought that I would see Xue Chuqing again soon, but I didn't expect that I would see him again three months later.

After the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, I was busy with many trivial matters such as my father's funeral and Buddhist dojo. When my father's coffin was buried in Zhaoling, I fell ill. The sorrow in my heart and the tiredness of the days made me sick like a mountain, and I couldn't afford to get sick.

According to the rules left by his grandfather, Emperor Gaozu, after the emperor died, the former emperor's concubines who stayed in the palace needed to move to other palaces such as Chengqing Hall to recuperate. Naturally, it was inconvenient for me to live with the new emperor's concubines, so I moved with Concubine Zheng to the former residence of Princess Pingyang - Yiyuxuan. The martial artists who originally lived here had already gone to Ganye Temple with other concubines and concubines who had not yet come out, and Yiyuxuan was located in a remote area, with an elegant environment, which was uniquely furnished, which was quite popular with me and Concubine Zheng, and it was also suitable for me to lie down and recuperate.

I lay groggily on the sickbed for more than two months, but I always dreamed of the scene of me playing with Xue Chuqing's qin and flute on the day of the enthronement ceremony. Could it be that this is my fate with Xue Chuqing in the dark?

Since I was ill, Weiwu could only be taken care of by Yuhan and Yunqing. But in addition to going out for a walk every day, Weiwu always accompanies me in the room. Every time I feel a little better, I tell my heart to mighty and powerful, my most loyal audience. Wei Wu would make various gestures to me with empathy every time, whether happy, encouraging, or comforting. It's just that every time I mention Xue Chuqing, it will seem restless. Unfortunately, I don't speak the same language as mighty and can't ask why, and I don't have enough energy to study the anomalies of mighty in detail during my illness.

During my illness, the Emperor visited me several times. Although the number of times is not much, it is rare for the current emperor who has a lot of opportunities, and it also shows more and more the status of my imperial sister in the emperor's heart. So, the harem concubines came one after another, which made me very annoyed, so I ordered the trustworthy Imperial Doctor Chen, who had always taken care of my body, to send a message, saying that I needed to recuperate from this illness, and asked Concubine Zheng to help file the visitors one by one outside the door of Yiyuxuan.

This plan worked very well, and many visitors touched the ashes, and then stopped talking about themselves, except for one exception, that is, the former crown princess, and now the queen.

Every day, the queen would send someone to bring me a medicinal meal that was carefully prepared according to my illness, and she would personally come to greet me with my illness every three or five days. Due to the queen's affection, every time she comes, Concubine Zheng will receive her in person. I also had to meet the Queen in person a few times when I was still in good spirits. Although I knew that these things were the Queen's business, I was still moved by the Queen's persistence.

When the queen and I chatted, there was bitterness and sadness from time to time. I can probably guess why she was so sad. Although I am sick and stay at home, it does not mean that I do not know anything about the affairs in Daxing Palace. Now Concubine Xiao Shu is the emperor's favorite, and her momentum is gradually rising, which is indeed a problem for the queen.

In the face of the virtuous and virtuous queen Wang, I always have some unbearable feelings in my heart. For this reason, when the emperor came to visit me, I advised the emperor to not snub the queen for the sake of the peace of the harem. Apparently, however, my counsel had little effect. Although the empress loved the emperor deeply, there was no place for her in the emperor's heart. The empress's feelings for the emperor are just wishful thinking.

The queen finally couldn't hold back the grievances, helplessness and panic in her heart, and told me what was going on with me. In fact, I can't help her, but I still can't bear to interrupt her. Listening to the Empress's babbling complaints, I finally understood why the Emperor could not fall in love with his wife, either in the past or now.
