Sheng Xiyan nodded, and just after taking two sips of porridge, she suddenly remembered something and quickly put down the bowl:

"Where's the medical record that Ruan Niang sent this afternoon? I need to see today's diagnosis."

Hua Xia quickly stopped her: "Madam, wait a minute!"

He took the mask and gloves from the side and put them on her carefully.

"You must not be careless. The epidemic is fierce, so caution is the best course of action."

Sheng Xiyan took the medical record, flipped through it carefully, and her brows gradually furrowed.

She thought for a moment, then spread out several medical books and her father's notes, and began to ponder them.

The next day, inside the Cining Palace of the Imperial Palace.

The Empress Dowager sat back on a rosewood chair carved with a phoenix, holding a letter in her hand with a gloomy expression.

He slammed the letter on the table and shouted at Concubine Jia:

"Su Yu, this bastard! I gave him a sixth-rank position, but instead of doing his job well, he caused trouble!

I asked him to go to another place to be a county magistrate, but your mother was reluctant to let him go and insisted on changing his position. What's the matter? Does she think the court is for the Su family? "

Concubine Jia lowered her head and muttered softly:

"Aunt, the county magistrate is a seventh-rank official, which is indeed a bit low.

My younger brother has never suffered hardship since he was young, and my mother is worried that he will suffer in other places..."

"Asshole!"

The Queen Mother was furious and slammed her palm on the table.

"He's a complete loser who failed the imperial examinations. The fact that he has a position now is a blessing from the emperor, whom I have licked my face and asked for!

There is no one sensible person in the Su family!"

He glanced at Concubine Jia and saw that she looked aggrieved and her eyes were clear and stupid, which made him even more angry.

The Su family’s greatest sin is to teach her daughter to be such a fool!

Concubine Liang stood aside, respectfully massaging the Queen Mother's legs. She took the red ginseng soup presented by the palace maid and gently advised:

"Aunt, don't be angry. The epidemic is raging right now, and it's not convenient for Aunt Su to come to the palace. It won't be too late to discuss this matter after the epidemic subsides."

The Empress Dowager's expression softened slightly upon hearing this. She took the yellow-glazed bowl and took a sip of the ginseng soup.

"Luan'er, you should learn from Concubine Liang. She has been doing things properly recently, and I am very satisfied with her."

Concubine Jia lowered her head and dared not say anything.

After coming out of the Cining Palace, Concubine Jia still looked depressed.

Seeing this, Concubine Liang took her hand and said with a smile:

"Sister Jiafei, don't blame your aunt for her harsh words. Although we are related to her, we still have to give her face in order to be useful."

"That's what my sister said."

Concubine Liang warmly invited: "Don't be discouraged, sister, come and sit with me."

In Chuxiu Palace.

Concubine Liang personally poured a cup of fruit tea for Concubine Jia:

"As for me, even if I'm not favored by the Emperor, I'm not afraid. After all, I have my father from the previous dynasty, and my wealth and glory will not be lost."

Concubine Jia sighed, her expression gloomy:

"My father is just an idle lord, and my brother is such a loser. Unlike my sister, my father is the prime minister and I have someone to rely on.

Now that my younger brother has angered my aunt, I'm afraid my days in the palace will become increasingly difficult."

The head maid of Concubine Liang interrupted:

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor is offering a reward for a cure for the epidemic.

If the young master of the Su family can take this credit, he will surely be very proud."
