Fu Jiujiu heard that Guo Shufei was unwell, so naturally she came without a word. Even Emperor Chengde returned to the palace and came to visit together.

Even though he may not have deeply loved Guo Shufei, after all this time together, he certainly wasn't completely without feelings for her.

"Chirp chirp, I just feel kind of off all over, like something's about to grow. You think maybe I'm overreacting?"

Guo Shufei expressed her concerns.

Fu Jiujiu retracted her hand that was feeling his pulse, her eyes clear and bright. "It's nothing, maybe it's because the weather is dry now, you feel uncomfortable. I'll have someone send some skincare products over later."

"Well then, I was just saying, my skin hasn't been feeling well these days, itchy and uncomfortable. I'm afraid the doctors wouldn't be able to see it clearly. Men wouldn't understand this sort of thing, you're much better at it."

Fu Jiu Jiu smiled, "Your Majesty, you flatter me."

Although I'm getting older, women never stop wanting to be beautiful. I'm just afraid if this illness gets worse, it will be the end of me. I'm fine, everything is fine.

Fu Jiujiu nodded slightly, "An Ning is fine."

"You said it's fine, then it must be fine." Guo Shufei naturally believed Fu Jiujiu, it seemed that the man's illness was not contagious, and she felt relieved.

"How is the matter of the prince's ascension going? Is there anything else I can help with? Yi'er is idle anyway, doing nothing all day. Let him go and help out."

“Those are all things Tang Qi Gege is busy with, I haven't meddled much. Imperial Noble Consort Shu, you…”

"What's wrong?" Guo Shufei felt a little nervous. Could it be that Jiujiu also smelled something amiss on her?

It shouldn't be possible, she deliberately bathed with essential oils, she shouldn't smell like it, right?

"Chirp chirp, just say what's up."

Seeing her like this, Fu Jiujiu already understood. “It’s nothing, you can just have someone find me if there’s anything here.”

After leaving Guo Shufei's bedroom, Fu Jiujiu was deep in thought about that matter.

How could the taste of poison she gave Tang Ningxiang appear in Guoshufeng's room?

Actually, this matter is quite easy to figure out. For a smart bird like Fu Chou Chou, it's not something difficult to understand.

It's just that she didn't expose it, wanting to give Gu Shufei a chance to think about it herself.

Since she has seen Tang Chence, it means that her father and the others' plan actually worked. Showing affection really attracted him over.

But now that Consort Guo is also caught in the middle, Fu Jiujiu finds herself rather embarrassed.

"Princess Consort!"

Fujiaojiao looked back and saw that it was Princess Saiqiya.

"Since you're still calling me by that name, even though I'm about to marry your eighth brother, wouldn't it be more appropriate to call me Seventh Sister-in-law?"

Fu Jiaojiao teased, "Saiqiya's face turned red instantly."

She became friends with Fu Jiujiu after spending time with her, and because of their relationship, there was a sense of kinship beyond friendship. "Yeah, she can't be called the Crown Princess anymore. You'll soon be the Empress."

Fu Jiujiu glared at her.

"I'm not making things up, and it won't be long now."

"Aren't you busy with your wedding? Are you teasing me here?"

Saiqi smiled, "You weren't busy on your wedding day either, were you? It's the same thing, just waiting to be a bride."

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Fu Jiu Jiu asked.

Saiqi took a deep breath and smiled, nodding. "As expected of the intelligent Crown Princess, nothing escapes your notice. There is something, and I feel it's best to ask for clarification."

"Go ahead." Fu Jiu Jiu actually guessed it in her heart.

"We saw the Emperor with a woman, and they seemed very happy."

Saiqiya told about that day's events, which were pretty much as Fu Jiujiu had guessed.

"I know I have no right to ask, but I think it's unfair to Empress Shu. She's a very good person."

Fu Jiaojiao sighed, "Saiqiya, we can't comment on this matter, and there are some things I can't tell you."

"I know, I can't really do anything. Asking you was just a momentary whim. The Emperor isn't an ordinary man. Even if he were, an ordinary man could have many women. My father was like that, and many men around me are too. Few are like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Fu Jiu Jiu curled her lips, thinking that Tang Yan wouldn't act recklessly. But she couldn't guarantee it.

After all, he will be a prince in the future. Even if he doesn't have a concubine, he can still have maidservants and other women. She still shouldn't vouch for others.

Tang Xian is different because they grew up together. Under his influence, he also accepted most of the modern knowledge, which others can't compare to or surpass.

Saiqiya smiled, "Don't comfort me, I believe that even if Tang Yan has other women in the future, he won't be bad to me. I never thought I could have him all to myself."

Fu Jiujiu patted Saiqiya's hand. "Everything is possible if you put your mind to it. Your own happiness still needs to be fought for. The outside world..."

"Don't worry, Tang Yan and I won't tell anyone, but An Ning probably already told the Noble Consort Shu. I'm just worried that she will be sad."

Fu JiuJiu took a deep breath, she didn't know what to do about this.

This is the drawback of polygyny.

But no matter what, Concubine Shu, you are indeed a bit wronged.

She never harmed anyone, nor did she interfere in anyone's affairs, yet now she is being ostracized.

This is something she can't control.

"By the way, my mother wrote to say that this year's winter supplies have arrived. I know it was Your Highness's idea, and we in Xilin are very grateful for your help."

Fu Jiujiu smiled and said, "Actually, between countries it doesn't necessarily have to be a fight to the death. It can also be friends, isn't it going well right now?"

Saiqi nodded, "I will take responsibility. When my younger brother grows up, I will also tell him not to start conflicts and to protect Xilin well and keep his promise."

Fu Jiaojiao nodded, "That's the best. Not only can we develop together, but ordinary people won't have to die innocently either."

……

Guo Shufei looked at the man before her. He had changed back into his dragon robe, and he was looking at her. But there was no love in his eyes, like when he looked at that woman.

Without comparison, you wouldn't realize it. He truly seemed to have never liked himself before.

"Shufei?"

<>

"Well, Jiujiao told me too, but she said you've been preoccupied with worry lately. Are you worried about Lao Ba's marriage?"

"Hmm," Guo Shufei nodded slightly.

"I've already had people prepare for it, you don't need to worry. Don't overthink things every day. With the seventh brother here, both siblings will be fine."

"I don't worry about those two, Your Majesty. After you abdicate, what are your plans? I haven't left the palace for a long time. Could I go outside with you?"

She wanted to ask, does your world still have my existence?

Fourth update!
