With the help of Shen Meizhuang, Liu Zhu met the Queen Mother once, but the Queen Mother obviously disliked Liu Zhu.

Perhaps seeing Liu Zhu reminded her of her own youth, when the Empress Dowager was a maid serving the Imperial Concubine.

But for the sake of her child, Liu Zhu couldn't give up.

If the Queen Mother could protect Zhen Huan’s child, why couldn’t she protect Liu Zhu’s?

When the fetus was three months old, Liu Zhu followed Shen Meizhuang to meet the Queen Mother again.

This time, Liu Zhu suddenly vomited in front of the two of them.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, then ordered Zhu Xi: "Quick, go and get the imperial physician."

Shen Meizhuang asked Liu Zhu with concern: "Did you eat something bad?"

Liu Zhu seemed to think for a moment before replying, "Sister Mei, I have been feeling a little unwell these past two days. I think it's because my spleen and stomach are not in harmony."

Shen Meizhuang thought about how Liu Zhu used to be a servant, and servants often had irregular meals and therefore had stomach problems.

Shen Meizhuang suggested: "Why not let Doctor Wen help you regulate your spleen and stomach?"

Liu Zhu nodded and agreed: "Dr. Wen is the best doctor. It would be best if we could ask Dr. Wen to help with the treatment."

As the two were talking, the imperial physician came into the hall to pay his respects to the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother quickly asked the doctor to stand up and ordered, "Quick, check Shun Changzai's pulse."

The imperial physician stood up and bowed, "Yes."

The doctor put the pulse pillow in place, and Liu Zhu placed her right hand on it. The doctor then took out a silk handkerchief and placed it on Liu Zhu's arm before he began to feel her pulse.

After a while, the imperial physician showed a happy expression and said, "Congratulations, young lady, you are three months pregnant."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's face suddenly lit up with joy, and she said, "This is a happy event, Shunchang is doing well with you."

Liu Zhu quickly bowed and thanked, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Shen Meizhuang looked unhappy and did not speak.

The Queen Mother then said to Liu Zhu, "You are in a serious condition now, so don't be too polite. I will send Fang Ruo to you, so you must take good care of your pregnancy."

Liu Zhu thanked him again: "I thank the Queen Mother for her kindness."

The Queen Mother said a few more words and then looked tired. Liu Zhu and Shen Meizhuang said goodbye to the Queen Mother and left Shoukang Palace.

After coming out, Shen Meizhuang's face looked even worse, and she walked very quickly, as if she wanted to distance herself from Liu Zhu.

Liu Zhu quickly called out, "Sister Mei."

Shen Meizhuang suddenly turned around and said unhappily: "Shun Chang, please call me Concubine Hui from now on. That day you said you stayed for Long Yue, so I loved you like Huan'er."

After saying that, Shen Meizhuang stared at Liu Zhu with even more fierce eyes.

Shen Meizhuang asked: "Are you doing this for Longyue or for yourself?"

Liu Zhu smiled bitterly: "Liu Zhu has always been loyal, but does a loyal person always have a good ending? I have been with the young lady since I was a child, and there is nothing I don't know about the young lady's affairs. If I don't stay in the palace, will I still have a way to survive?"

Shen Meizhuang frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Liu Zhu regained her composure and said, "It's true that I did it for Longyue, and it's not too much for myself. If Concubine Hui thinks that I can only protect Longyue for the rest of my life after becoming a concubine, and I can't even get pregnant, then I have nothing to say."

After Liu Zhu finished speaking, he bowed, held Cui Yun's arm and left.

Shen Meizhuang frowned and looked at Liu Zhu's back. She stood there for a long time before leaving.

Liu Zhu has long wanted to break up with Shen Meizhuang, and Shen Meizhuang will be in big trouble sooner or later.

Liu Zhu occasionally took Princess Longyue to Suiyuxuan and discovered another secret.

Shen Meizhuang, a lady from a wealthy family and a concubine in the palace, actually fell in love with the imperial physician Wen Shichu.

Liu Zhu remained calm and pretended not to know, but kept the secret in her heart.
