Nanny Ye didn't have time to stop her; among the pregnant women she had cared for, Concubine Xi was definitely the most agile. Meanwhile, Concubine Li was just about to change into dry clothes when the panic-stricken pleas of the palace maid sounded from outside: "Concubine Xi, please halt..."
"Xi! Concubine!"
Concubine Li's face lost its color, and she quickly put on her clothes.
"Sister, are you okay? Are you scared? Sister, I'm here!"
Yun Jiao waited a moment, thinking she should have finished dressing, before walking around the screen.
Lately, her pregnancy was getting more advanced, and the palace maids truly dared not stop her.
"Nonsense, what is there to be afraid of? It's just rain; perhaps you were scared, deliberately finding an excuse to come to me."
Concubine Li wore a disdainful expression.
A palace maid brought over an embroidered stool, allowing Yun Jiao to sit comfortably. She held her face with a smile, but felt uneasy in her heart.
