Chapter 34 Dragon Qi nourishes people
"I heard that Concubine Shu fainted due to anger, so I came to see if Concubine Shu is okay?"
Concubine Xian was wearing a light blue silk dress. The snow-white fur collar at her neck made her look fair and gentle. Her willow-shaped eyebrows added a touch of softness to her heroic appearance.
Her face, which looked like Concubine Shu, was full of concern.
Nanny Chen looked up at her and thought, what a coquettish girl.
This Hua Zhiyao is even more beautiful than when she was born in Chengqian Palace. Look at her high nose bridge and rosy lips, each of which is extremely delicate. And the slightly raised corners of the lips and the delicate face, she looks really elegant and classy.
As expected, dragon qi nourishes people.
Look, what a vile thing this Concubine Xian has become!
Nanny Chen complained in her heart but did not show it on her face. She still bowed properly and said lightly: "Replying to Concubine Xian, my queen has been feeling unwell recently. She also heard that the princess was missing. She was so angry that she developed her postpartum illness. Now the imperial physician says that her son does not need anyone. Please go back, Concubine Xian, so as not to disturb your rest."
Concubine Xian lowered her eyes and said in a faint voice: "Oh? I heard that the emperor was also in Guangling Palace. How come he left? I didn't see him just now?"
As she was about to turn around and leave, the voice of Emperor Qingling suddenly rang out in the main palace.
"Princess Xian, come in."
Outside the house, Concubine Xian looked up at Nanny Chen meaningfully and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Nanny Chen lowered her eyes and said nothing, as if nothing had happened.
Concubine Xian, however, whispered to Nanny Chen as she passed by, "I advise you, Nanny, to be respectful to your master in the harem, and to be reserved, otherwise, you will never know when you will bring disaster upon yourself."
Nanny Chen lowered her eyes and whispered, "Thank you for your teachings, Concubine Xian. I will keep it in mind."
Concubine Xian snorted coldly and walked in.
Inside the house, Emperor Qingling sat on the couch, looking at Concubine Xian who came in from outside the door, and said softly: "It's so cold, why did you run so far here? The imperial physician is here with
Concubine Shu. If you get sick, it will be a loss." The palace maid Liangxia behind Concubine Xian took off the fox fur cloak on Concubine Xian and held it in her hand, then stood aside.
Concubine Xian stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I am also worried about Sister Yao, afraid that something has really happened to her. Since that day in Chengqian Palace, I have not seen Sister Yao again. The next time I heard about Sister Yao was today when she fainted. I was very worried, so I came to check on her regardless of everything. If Your Majesty blames me, then it is really unfair to me."
In the silent main hall of Guangling Palace, Concubine Xian's voice was soft and annoying. After hearing it, Emperor Qingling chuckled.
For a moment, the whole room was filled with Emperor Qingling's rather relaxed laughter.
He said, "You are the one who has the most reason. If I say that
, I will be too nosy." Concubine Xian stepped forward, grabbed Emperor Qingling's arm and acted coquettishly, whispering, "I am just arguing with the emperor. This is how it should be between husband and wife. A small quarrel is just to ease the mood."
She swayed back and forth, making Emperor Qingling's heart go up and down, which was quite annoying.
Doctor Zhao on the side silently took a step back, lowered his head and dared not speak.
He had a big secret in his heart, and was afraid of being named.
But the next moment, Concubine Xian spoke: "Imperial Physician Zhao, is the medicine for Sister Yao ready?"
Imperial Physician Zhao bowed and said, "It's still being boiled."
Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Shu, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and said in a deep voice: "Why didn't I hear that Sister Yao had a hidden disease during the postpartum period before? How come it suddenly broke out now?"
"Replying to Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu's health has been poor, but there have been no major changes recently, and she has taken good care of herself, so it has not been revealed. In addition, she was soaked in water right after she came out of confinement, and now she is angry, which triggers the cause of the disease and causes dizziness, which is common."
When saying this, Imperial Physician Zhao glanced at Emperor Qingling implicitly.
Emperor Qingling was also looking up at him, and said solemnly: "Dr. Zhao, I remember that you have been serving in the Empress' Palace before, why are you here in Concubine Shu's Palace today?"
Dr. Zhao knelt down and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I wanted to take the pulse of the Empress Dowager, but it happened that the Empress Dowager was in Concubine Shu's Palace, so she ordered me to come to Guangling Palace to take the pulse, but then the princess went missing, and I was kept in Guangling Palace by the Empress Dowager before I had the chance to take the pulse of the Empress Dowager. It was the Empress Dowager who just Her Majesty ordered me to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medical records of Concubine Shu. If you prescribe the right medicine, you will get better faster.
Emperor Qingling looked away and said, "The Queen Mother is kind and compassionate, and she has always been very kind to the concubines in the harem." Imperial
Physician Zhao immediately agreed, "Of course, just now the Queen Mother heard that Princess Ying'an was missing, and she hurriedly ordered Eunuch Cheng to find the princess's whereabouts. I was also quite moved when I saw it."
After saying this, not only did Emperor Qingling look at Imperial Physician Zhao, but even Concubine Xian, who had been listening silently, had a gloomy face.
Since Emperor Qingling came to Guangling Palace, he never mentioned Ying'an. Now Imperial Physician Zhao deliberately mentioned Ying'an again, clearly expressing his dissatisfaction for Concubine Shu.
Concubine Xian said solemnly: "Dr. Zhao is really a kind-hearted doctor. He is so concerned about the harem."
After saying that, Dr. Zhao suddenly looked at Emperor Qingling.
He happened to meet the obscure look in Emperor Qingling's eyes, and then he realized that what he said was out of line. He just wanted to speak for Concubine Shu so that she could say a few good words in front of the empress dowager after waking up. He
just wanted to rely on the big tree, but he didn't expect that his words would bring trouble to himself.
He kowtowed and said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, I only saw that Concubine Shu was seriously ill and would not be fully recovered for a while. I had to do my duty and did my best for fear of disappointing Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager. However, I spoke too frankly and made Concubine Xian misunderstand the meaning of my words. It is my fault, please punish me."
Emperor Qingling did not raise his eyes, but only said: "Get up, I still trust your character."
Concubine Xian glanced at Emperor Qingling and whispered: "Your Majesty, I was just anxious for the moment, and I was worried about Sister Yao and Princess Ying'an, so I was quite sensitive."
Emperor Qingling raised his eyes to look at her, with a deep look in his eyes.
Concubine Xian was shocked. She stood up, walked to Emperor Qingling, knelt down, and sobbed, "Your Majesty, I made some mistakes in my words, but I was concerned about you and Concubine Shu, and I didn't know how to relieve my feelings. That's why I spoke without thinking and slandered Doctor Zhao."
Emperor Qingling said in a deep voice: "Concubine Xian, I have always believed that you are simple-minded, gentle and virtuous. Although you are sometimes willful, you are also very sensible. But today, why are you so reckless? I know the family background of Doctor Zhao very well. He watched me grow up, how could he have two hearts? But you, do you want to transfer Doctor Zhao, a gynecological expert, from Concubine Shu's palace? Are you jealous that I came to Concubine Shu's palace and didn't visit you?"
