Chapter 32 Ying'an is missing
When Doctor Zhao heard this, he was shocked and looked at Concubine Shu in horror.
The Queen Mother also looked at Concubine Shu meaningfully, with coldness in her eyes.
But she said it herself, and if she interrupted Concubine Shu and Doctor Zhao now, she would be slapping herself in the face.
So even though she was quite dissatisfied, she did not speak, but looked at Doctor Zhao with a cold look in her eyes.
Concubine Shu turned a deaf ear to him and took a piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth.
Doctor Zhao lowered his eyes, weighed carefully, and said in a deep voice: "I understand."
After he finished speaking, the room was silent, and no one spoke first.
Nanny Xiang suddenly rushed in from outside the room.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened."
The concubine felt a little depressed when she heard this. She thought it was not good, but the Queen Mother was here. Even if something terrible happened, she could not lose her composure.
"What's wrong? You are so flustered. Don't you know the rules of this palace?"
After Nanny Xiang came in, she immediately lowered her eyes and knelt down to pay her respects.
She knelt down and said with fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, I was in a hurry to go to the toilet just now, so I left the princess alone in the side hall, but who knew... after I came back, the princess... disappeared!"
When Ying'an was mentioned, not only did the concubine change her expression, but even the Queen Mother's expression sank. She finally changed her mind about the concubine because of Ying'an, but now Ying'an is gone again.
Could it be that the heavens were hanging a curtain, telling her not to get close to the concubine for fear of misfortune?
"What!"
Concubine Shu was anxious to get off the bed, but she felt dizzy and fainted because of her anxiety.
Imperial Physician Zhao and Nanny Xiang immediately stepped forward to support Concubine Shu.
"Quick, send someone to help the queen to the bed, I will diagnose her."
Nanny Xiang immediately called Xiao Wuzi and several palace maids, and they worked together to put Concubine Shu down, and Imperial Physician Zhao began to diagnose Concubine Shu's pulse.
From beginning to end, the Queen Mother did not say a word, but frowned and watched everything.
After Imperial Physician Zhao finished taking the pulse, the Queen Mother spoke: "What's wrong with Concubine Shu?"
Imperial Physician Zhao immediately stood up and knelt in front of the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is pregnant, but she is weak and cannot be nourished. Her body was lacking in Qi and blood during pregnancy, and she was malnourished. Her family also encountered misfortunes, and she was anxious. Her health was already very poor, and she overworked during the confinement period and did not get enough rest. Now that she is pregnant, and the princess has had an accident, she was anxious for a moment, and the Qi and blood attacked her heart and she fainted." The Queen Mother said
in a deep voice: "It's just a small matter, and you have lost your sense of propriety. You are really incapable of great things."
She only cared about complaining, but ignored the first half of what Imperial Physician Zhao said.
After saying this, she felt something was wrong, and immediately sat up straight, saying anxiously: "You said... Concubine Shu is pregnant."
Doctor Zhao knelt down and kowtowed: "Yes, but now she is only one month pregnant, and she is in a bad mood, so her pulse is unstable, but fortunately the baby is healthy. I will prescribe a few medicines for Concubine Shu to protect the baby, and you can turn danger into safety and give birth to the baby safely."
The Queen Mother frowned and said nothing.
Doctor Zhao did not dare to stand up.
Nanny Xiang on the side was confused. The princess was missing, the queen fainted, and now the Queen Mother did not mention the princess's disappearance. If it was any later, I am afraid that the princess... would be in danger.
She knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager, please order to find Princess Ying'an. Our princess is your sweetheart. If something happens to the princess, I'm afraid the dragon fetus in your belly will be in danger." The Queen
Dowager looked up at Nanny Xiang, her eyebrows full of displeasure.
Nanny Yu beside the Queen Dowager sneered and said, "How dare you use the dragon fetus to threaten the Queen Dowager! Are the maids in the Concubine Shu's palace so unruly!"
Nanny Xiang kowtowed several times in a row: "Empress Dowager, Princess Ying'an is just two months old. It's the time when she needs someone to be by her side. I know that I have committed a serious sin. If the princess comes back, I am willing to exchange my life for it."
The Queen fainted. The Emperor now has opinions about Guangling Palace. She has no choice but to ask the Queen Dowager for help.
The Queen Mother frowned: "Cheng Lin, go and search the palace for me one by one. Yu Ma, go and inform the Emperor of the princess's disappearance and pass on my decree. If anyone harms the princess, I will not show mercy."
Yu Ma and Cheng Lin knelt down: "Yes! Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother
suddenly said in a deep voice: "If anyone dares to spread the news that Concubine Shu is pregnant, don't blame me for being cruel!"
Everyone present now wished they had no ears and didn't hear what Doctor Zhao said just now.
For a moment, everyone knelt down in the room, and even Doctor Zhao was terrified.
"Yes, I will obey the Queen Mother's decree."
"Go."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
"Doctor Zhao stay."
Everyone else went out to look for Princess Ying'an, only Doctor Zhao stood in the room trembling.
"Just take care of the Queen's affairs, and tell Concubine Shu about everything. But prepare two prescriptions for Concubine Shu to preserve her pregnancy. One prescription for replenishing qi and blood deficiency should be kept in the Imperial Medical Office, and one prescription for preserving pregnancy should be sent to Concubine Shu's palace. If you have time, come to Guangling Palace every day to boil the medicine. Without my order, even Concubine Shu does not need to reveal a single word about Concubine Shu's pregnancy."
Although Imperial Physician Zhao did not know what the Queen Mother wanted to do, he had to do it because the Queen Mother ordered him to do so.
He hurriedly said, "Yes, Queen Mother, I understand."
"Go."
After Imperial Physician Zhao left, the Queen Mother left Guangling Palace.
When she left, Concubine Shu had not woken up yet.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of Changshou Palace, Nanny Yu brought Emperor Qingling's sedan chair to them.
Emperor Qingling bowed and said, "My son has seen the Empress Dowager."
Seeing this philandering and scumbag son of the emperor, the empress dowager forced a smile and said lightly, "There are many affairs in the previous dynasty, and you should not always care about the new people. You should also visit the old people in your heart from time to time, so as not to hurt the old people's feelings."
Emperor Qingling thought for a moment and knew that the empress dowager was getting close to Concubine Shu again, but he could not blame Concubine Shu at this time .
In recent days, he had indeed neglected Concubine Shu.
But every time he saw Ying'an, her thoughts told him that it was not good to be far away.
He did not want anyone to interfere with his judgment.
Zhiyao is very good.
Very good.
"My son knows." The Queen Mother
lowered her eyes and said, "You go first. I will return to the palace to chant sutras and pray for Ying'an, praying that nothing will happen to her."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
When Emperor Qingling's sedan chair passed by Changshou Palace, Nanny Yu lowered her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Queen Mother, I think the emperor is probably in love with Hua Zhiyao." The
Queen Mother sneered, "My son is the most fickle, but in his heart, only Shufei is the most special one, otherwise he would not disregard everything to move Shufei out of the cold palace. In the history of the Daling Dynasty, there is no precedent of deposing a concubine and moving her out of the cold palace. Shufei is the first one."
Nanny Yu lowered her eyes and said lightly, "What does the Queen Mother mean?"
"If Hua Zhiyao wants to replicate the favor of Concubine Shu, it depends on whether she has the ability to do so. If she tries to be submissive and surrender to the Queen, it will be a futile effort."
