The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Everything in the palace was strictly controlled. From eating and sleeping to going out to see flowers, there were people monitoring and controlling them.

Although not all of these ladies had palace maids to serve them, it was very difficult for them to get some medicine to cure their illness.

Liu Moyan thought of pretending to be sick and leaving. The best way was to be blown by the cold wind at night and catch a cold.

If I get sick, it will be difficult for me to continue staying in the palace to participate in the selection.

Liu Qingwan felt that this idea was not very appropriate. "It's just a cold. The imperial physician can prescribe two doses of medicine and we will be fine. He may not send us out of the palace."

"Then we won't take the medicine and delay the condition. If it gets worse, they will naturally not be able to keep us."

The royal family is going to select a beauty, and they can’t let someone die of illness in the palace.

Besides, if a woman with poor health marries into the royal family, it will be detrimental to the offspring. The royal family will not be willing to let such a woman be a concubine, as it will affect the offspring.

Liu Qingwan was still worried: "If you delay this, you will really get sick. Wouldn't that hurt your body? You are going to get married, how can you risk your health?"

Liu Moyan was stunned for a moment. She was actually undecided and looked at Pei Yi nervously.

Pei Yi thought about it and said, "Let's just delay for three days and test the attitude of the palace. Starting tomorrow, we will have to learn the palace rules and etiquette. If we avoid them, we may be able to avoid the selection. As long as we escape the selection, it may not be difficult to leave the palace."

Pei Yi made a decisive judgment, and the three of them secretly opened the window at night when no one was paying attention, and stood by the window to enjoy the cold wind.

After blowing it for two days in a row, he fell ill.

The first person to fall was naturally Liu Qingwan. She was weak and soon had a high fever and kept coughing.

After seeing the current condition of the palace maid, she hurriedly asked the imperial physician to take her pulse.

The imperial physician saw that she had caught a cold and prescribed medicine for her.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Liu Moyan also fell ill, followed by Pei Yi.

The imperial physician was puzzled as to why several concubines had caught a cold one after another.

Liu Moyan was lying on the bed, and said very weakly: "Doctor, I won't be infected with any plague, right?"

The imperial physician shuddered upon hearing this and said cautiously, "My lady, you are joking. It's just that the weather has turned cold and you have caught a cold. I will prescribe two doses of medicine later. Just focus on your treatment and you will be fully recovered within three days."

After saying this, he wrote down a prescription and asked the palace maid to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.

But as soon as the news of Pei Yi's illness spread, not only did the imperial physician come to the harem, but the empress and even the imperial concubine also sent a lot of supplements.

Liu Moyan and Liu Qingwan also received supplements, and were even arranged to be served by palace maids separately.

Even though what he got was not as good as Pei Yi, Liu Moyan broke out in a cold sweat.

She suddenly realized how naive and stupid she was.

"Sister Pei, since they want you to enter the palace, this little trick of pretending to be sick won't stop them at all. If we don't take the medicine and delay for two days, I'm afraid someone will report to the Queen that night."

There are many eyes and ears in the harem, so her little thoughts don’t matter. After all, her father is not a powerful person.

She was just a little bit unruly, and if she did something a little bit wrong, the Queen would dislike her and naturally would not keep her in the harem or marry her to the second or third prince.

But Pei Yi is different. The third prince and the second prince wanted to marry her, but what they wanted was not her as a person, but the military power of the Duke's Mansion behind her.

If this is the case, then even if the imperial physician says that Madam Pei is not suitable for childbearing, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the two princes from competing for Pei Yi's heart.

It is more likely that in their eyes, the Pei family holds a heavy fist, and even if their daughter sits on the throne of queen, not only will she not pose a threat, but she will also be the most powerful helper.

After all, the Pei family cannot give birth to a prince.

What Liu Moyan thought of, Pei Yi naturally thought of as well.

She smiled bitterly. When she was taking the medicine yesterday, the palace maid kept staring at her and didn't give her a chance to spit it out.

"Sister Pei, I am confused."

Pei Yi was not angry, instead he comforted her: "I just wanted to test the attitude of the palace. I made the decision, and you are willing to take the risk with me. I am so grateful that I can't blame you."

"Now what?"

Pei Yi shook her head and told her to just rest and recuperate for the time being and see what happens next.

Then the few of them secretly spit out the medicine. Even though their conditions became more serious, the Queen Mother only sent them more supplements and asked the imperial doctors and palace maids to take more careful care of them. She never mentioned the intention of expelling them from the palace.

At this time, the concubines began to learn etiquette. According to the rules, after the ladies-in-waiting taught them etiquette, the selection would begin. They thought that if they avoided etiquette training, they could avoid the selection.

Unexpectedly, the palace maid brought news that many people had been sick recently, so the selection date had been delayed.

He also said that all the ladies should rest and recuperate in the palace, and when they recovered, they would start learning etiquette.

Are they just dragging it on? They have to wait until they are well enough to go for the auditions?

There were thirty or fifty beauties entering the palace, but only a few of them were sick.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew who the palace had issued this order for. Liu Moyan was worried and felt that this was not a good thing.

She went out for a walk and suddenly heard voices coming from behind the rockery.

"I don't know what the ladies are thinking. We are all here for the talent show, but just for these three people, they have to postpone the talent show, making us all just foils. Since they value them so much, why not just choose these three, so that we can go home early and not waste time here."

"That's right, sister. In my opinion, we are all here to serve as foils. In terms of looks, we can't compare to the two sisters of the Liu family, and in terms of family background, we can't compare to the lady from the Zhenguo Mansion."

"Also, I heard that some time ago, Madam Cui was causing trouble for Liu Moyan, and was caught by the Third Emperor, who gave Madam Cui a good lesson. Do you think that the Third Prince has taken a fancy to Liu Moyan, and that is why he delayed the selection for her?"

"How annoying! They are all noble ladies. It's ok that they can't compare to Madam Pei, but the girl from the Liu family, whose father is only a fourth-rank minister, is just prettier. Why did the Third Prince fall for her? Shouldn't one marry a virtuous wife? Only a concubine can marry a beautiful one."

"That's right. I think the girl from the Liu family is just like that. The sister from the Hong family and the sister from the Huang family are no worse than them in terms of family background, appearance and talent. The princes are really blind."

These words are really disgusting.

Liu Moyan was upset and wanted to go out and curse, but she heard someone sneer, "If you are dissatisfied, just say it. Why drag me into this? It's disrespectful for you to discuss the rights and wrongs of the royal family in such a grand manner in the deep palace. Aren't you afraid that the female officials will come to your door and beat your mouths."

The girl immediately covered her mouth in panic, apologized quietly and left.

The gossipers dispersed one by one, and Liu Moyan finally realized why she was so scared.

They were treated in such a special way that it was as if they were being roasted on the fire.

Liu Moyan complained about her slow reaction, but now she understood the reason. For a moment, she was angry again. What on earth did the royal family want to do? Was it forcing them to get involved in the fight for favor and the position of imperial concubine?
