On this day, Concubine Zhao served medicine to Concubine Li.

Concubine Li smiled and took Concubine Zhao's hand and said:

“Sister Zhao, you are still good to me.

It is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed. "

When Concubine Zhao heard Concubine Li calling her sister, she was a little flattered.

Moreover, Concubine Li no longer called herself "this concubine" in front of him.

Concubine Li suddenly became so easy-going and so close to her that Concubine Zhao couldn't help but smile.

"Empress Li, you are the head of the Jiao'e Palace, and I should serve you."

Hearing this, Princess Li sighed.

"Sister Zhao, you are alienating me by saying this.

We are all in the harem serving Your Majesty, so there is no need to distinguish between high and low status.

Before, I was the younger sister and was ignorant. I thought I could be arrogant because I was favored by His Majesty.

I have also made many verbal insults to you, sister. It's all my fault.

This time, I had a miscarriage and almost had a miscarriage. Then I suddenly realized that I should be restrained in life, otherwise I would waste all the blessings of the baby in my belly. "

She spoke with such sincerity that Concubine Zhao was deeply moved.

"Sister, you are too kind, your good fortune is still to come!

From now on, we two sisters will help each other, and this harem will definitely be our world.

My sister looks lucky and will definitely give birth to a prince.

By then, she will be able to ascend to the position of Imperial Noble Consort.

Becoming an Imperial Consort means you are only one step away from becoming the Queen."

The more Concubine Zhao spoke, the more excited she became, as if she was the one who was going to give birth to a prince and become the imperial concubine.

When Concubine Li heard Concubine Zhao really calling her sister and saying something about helping each other, she couldn't help but close her eyes and rolled her eyes secretly.

If it weren't for the unstable fetus and the need for help, how could a person like Concubine Zhao be qualified to be called my sister?

Still helping each other?

Who does she think she is?

Thinking of this, Concubine Li slowly stretched her body.

"I'm tired. I need to get some sleep first."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and helped her lie down, then diligently covered her with a quilt and stepped aside to watch over her.

"Let the servants do the rough work. Why bother you to do it yourself?"

Concubine Li closed her eyes and said lazily.

Concubine Zhao immediately put on a flattering smile.

"It's okay. Isn't it the elder sister's duty to take care of the younger sister?"

After hearing this, Concubine Li rolled her eyes again. She didn't respond and just turned over and pretended to sleep.

After about another seven or eight days, Concubine Li's fetus was completely stable.

She didn't have to lie in bed all day to take care of her pregnancy; she could even go outside for a walk in the yard.

Concubine Zhao and Xiaodie were supporting her and walking slowly in the yard.

Suddenly, a team of guards patrolled outside Jiao'e Palace.

The distance was quite far, and Concubine Li looked up subconsciously, and still saw Li Xun among the seven or eight guards.

Concubine Li caught the familiar figure at a glance.

Li Xun also consciously looked towards Concubine Li, and their eyes met.

Princess Li's heartbeat quickened instantly. After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly turned her face away, with an expression that inevitably looked a little unnatural.

When Lady Zhao saw this, she asked in surprise:

"Sister, what's wrong with you?

Are you feeling unwell?

Do you want to call the imperial physician over?"

Princess Li hurriedly shook her head.

"It's okay, just a little tired.

I want to go back and lie down for a while."

Xiaodie looked outside the yard and saw Li Xun's leaving back, and her heart skipped a beat.

She immediately calmed down and helped Concubine Li into the house.

Concubine Zhao also vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was. She didn't dare ask more questions, and followed Xiaodie to help Concubine Li into the house to rest.

Concubine Li could never let go of Li Xun.

She was pregnant with Li Xun's child.

There was a connection between the two that could never be severed.

She misses her child's father every day.

But she also knew that she could no longer have any entanglement with Li Xun.

Otherwise, the two of them, no...it should be the two families would be killed without a burial place.

Concubine Li returned to her room, lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Li Xun hasn't appeared in the palace for a long time.

She also thought that Li Xun had voluntarily resigned from his job as a guard in order to avoid suspicion and for the safety of her and her child.

But today, I suddenly saw him reappear in the palace. I was surprised, but more than that, I was frightened.

What made her even more frightened was that in the next few days, Li Xun would be among the patrolling guards passing through Jiao'e Palace every day.

Finally, on the third day of the patrol, Li Xun found an excuse to leave the patrol team. Then he quietly went outside Jiao'e Palace and while Xiaodie was out of the yard to do some business, he ran over and slipped a note into her hand.

Xiaodie didn't expect Li Xun to do this, and she was so scared that she quickly hid the note in her sleeve pocket.

Li Xun gave Xiaodie a pleading look, then turned around and left quickly.

He had no choice but to take such a big risk and get close to Concubine Li again.

He also couldn't help himself.

If he didn't do this, the Duke of England would not let his family go.

His parents were in British hands.

Moreover, the Duke of England already knew that he and Concubine Li were having an affair.

Moreover, the baby in Concubine Li’s belly was not the emperor’s.

The crimes they committed are enough to punish the entire clan.

In short, he and Concubine Li have no way to survive.

However, the Duke of England promised him that as long as he followed his instructions, he could at least send his parents out of the capital and save their lives.

He disobeyed his parents, refused to get married, and finally became a cuckold of the emperor.

I have been unfaithful and unfilial.

I can't let my parents' lives be implicated again.

After he ran away, he hid in the corner and watched Xiaodie not even do her errand and hurriedly turned back to Jiao'e Palace.

His heart was broken, he slowly closed his eyes, and hot tears slid down his cheeks.

He could only feel sorry for Huan'er and the children.

Concubine Li looked at Xiaodie walking into the bedroom with a nervous look on her face and asked in surprise:

"Why are you back so soon?"

Xiaodie glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids serving in the room, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Princess Li immediately realized that something was wrong. She looked at the other people in the room.

"You all should step aside first."

"Yes, ma'am."

Everyone left, leaving only Concubine Li and Xiaodie in the room.

Xiaodie then stepped forward, took out the note that Li Xun had given her from her sleeve pocket, handed it to Concubine Li and said in a low voice:

"My lady, Guard Li just waited for me outside the courtyard and hastily slipped me this note."

Li Fei listened to Xiaodie's words and took the note with shaking hands.

"How dare he...

How dare he contact me at this time?

Doesn't he want to die?"

She muttered in a trembling voice while opening the note to read its contents.

When she read the content, she was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Li Xun said he wanted to find an opportunity to meet her alone again.

See you for the last time, and never see you again...
