Chapter 726 Lianqiao, slap
When Concubine Yu woke up, Song Yanxi was giving her acupuncture by her bed.
When she saw it was her, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then turned into vigilance.
She asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
Lian Qiao, who was waiting nearby, said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It was this servant who took the initiative to go to Fengyi Palace and invite Princess Yong'an."
Imperial Concubine Yu frowned, "Where is Doctor Qi?"
Were all the imperial doctors in the palace dead? They actually had to come to Song Yanxi for help, making her owe him a favor for nothing.
How stupid!
Meeting her disdainful eyes, Lian Qiao felt wronged and couldn't help but said with tears in her eyes, "In reply to your Majesty, Imperial Physician Qi has requested leave to go home."
"Take a leave? What happened to him? Is my mother sick again?"
As Concubine Yu spoke, she couldn't help but snort coldly, "Could it be that you feel that I'm difficult to serve, so you deliberately ran away to be lazy?"
Lian Qiao's face was grim, and she asked tentatively, "My Lady, do you really not remember anything?"
Concubine Yu did not answer but asked, "Is there something I should remember?"
As she spoke, her eyes filled with impatience, she said, "Stop talking nonsense. I have a severe headache. Help me up quickly."
Song Yanxi raised her hand to stop her from getting up and said, "I am giving your Majesty acupuncture. Please be patient for a while."
"Acupuncture?" There was suspicion in Concubine Yu's eyes. Her gaze fell on the slender silver needle, and then she quickly turned her eyes away.
When he spoke again, his voice was far less calm than before, "Hurry up, I have a terrible headache."
She didn't just have a headache, she was clearly scared.
Song Yanxi did not expose it, but just replied lightly with "Okay", without changing the speed of her hands at all.
Lian Qiao had seen Imperial Physician Qi perform acupuncture on Concubine Yu before, and knew that the acupoints and force of the needle insertion were very particular, so she didn't dare to say much.
Afraid that Concubine Yu might notice, she hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, you didn't eat or drink anything all day yesterday. What would you like to eat?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Gu~"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
A look of shame and anger flashed in Concubine Yu's eyes.
Before she could speak, Song Yanxi said, "Your Majesty has not eaten for a day and a night, and your spleen and stomach are weak. Just cook a bowl of porridge."
Imperial Concubine Yu's face immediately darkened, "I won't drink."
She had just woken up and already felt tasteless in her mouth. This girl actually asked her to drink some plain porridge?
In her opinion, she looked more like Zhou.
Lian Qiao's face suddenly turned bitter, and she advised: "Your Majesty, the princess is a doctor, you should listen to her."
Imperial Concubine Yu raised an eyebrow. "She's a doctor, and Doctor Qi is just there to eat and do nothing?"
When she mentioned Doctor Qi, she was filled with rage and cursed, "Yesterday, I told him to wait in Yuyao Palace, but he took leave in the blink of an eye.
When he comes back, I will skin him alive!"
Lian Qiao glanced at Song Yanxi and didn't dare to speak.
Glancing at her movements, Concubine Yu became even more annoyed.
She sneered and asked, "Why, are you tired of staying by my side and thinking of climbing up the social ladder?"
"I dare not!" Lian Qiao knelt down with a thud and kowtowed heavily.
Imperial Concubine Yu didn't even bother to look at him, and said to herself, "It's understandable that this person wants to move up the ladder. After all, you and I are master and servant. This palace will not stop you."
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Song Yanxi, and she said with a half-smile: "Lian Qiao is my capable maidservant. If she were to be with the princess, the princess would have to treat her well."
Lian Qiao was already in tears, and she felt even more desperate when she heard her words.
She was a servant girl born in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and her parents and siblings were all slaves in the mansion.
Even if she were set free, she wouldn't know where to go.
Not to mention, this is simply impossible.
Given the Imperial Concubine's temper, if she dared to follow Princess Yong'an today, her whole family would be sold far away without even waiting for tomorrow.
Even if she had the courage, she wouldn't dare!
"Bang bang!" Lian Qiao's forehead hit the ground hard, making a dull sound.
Song Yanxi's eyes darkened slightly, but the movements of her hands were not affected at all.
Concubine Yu looked at it and couldn't help feeling strange.
It is said that this girl is very kind-hearted. She is even willing to treat beggars on the street without charging any money.
The people in the border town called her a deity on earth, and they wanted to build a temple and erect a monument for her so that future generations could admire her forever.
If she remembered correctly, the Princess Shihan had also been praised to the skies by them before.
But what is the result?
They are just a bunch of fools who believe everything they hear.
Concubine Yu couldn't help but sneer. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Song Yanxi's cold voice say, "That's how she begged me to save the Empress last night."
She lowered her eyes, met those inquiring ones, and asked in a cold voice, "Does the Imperial Concubine really not remember anything about yesterday?"
Before Imperial Concubine Yu could speak, she continued, "Imperial Concubine is a smart person. You should know that you can't hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yu couldn't help but feel furious.
This damn girl actually dared to threaten her.
What? If she doesn't tell the truth, she is a fool?
It's so arrogant!
Who taught her to be so arrogant?
The more Concubine Yu thought about it, the angrier she became. She said with a sullen face, "I am your elder, and I will have to call you mother in the future.
So, have you learned these rules from the Queen these past few days?"
Hearing that she was trying to implicate the Queen, Song Yanxi's face turned cold and she asked, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, how have I broken the rules?"
Concubine Yu frowned, "How dare you talk back?"
She sullenly ordered Lian Qiao, "How dare a mere princess disrespect me? Lian Qiao, slap her in the face."
Lian Qiao didn't dare to move, and could only persuade her: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The princess is also thinking about your health.
You had a high fever last night, and the princess took care of you all night long without sleep."
Imperial Concubine Yu looked at Song Yanxi and said with a strange look on her face, "She is a doctor. Taking care of people is her job. It's not worth your mentioning it specifically."
Although the words were unpleasant, the tone was clearly softer.
She asked with a stern face, "I have a headache every day. Why is that?"
Song Yanxi said, "Judging from your pulse, it seems like the pain is caused by overthinking."
Imperial Concubine Yu's face darkened even more. "Are you saying that I'm too worried?"
As she spoke, she suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty is right, you are indeed very courageous."
Song Yanxi: "I dare not."
Concubine Yu suppressed her smile, stared at her meaningfully and said, "No wonder Ling Xuan doesn't like you, you're so hypocritical."
Song Yanxi: “…”
This mother and son are really more difficult to deal with than each other.
She doesn't like to hear the truth, but if you tell a lie she will call you hypocritical.
It seems that only a mute is suitable to deal with her.
Thinking of this, Song Yanxi suddenly felt a little sorry for Doctor Qi.
It’s not easy to deal with such a deity, right?
Concubine Yu stared at her and said quietly, "Even if you say bad things about me in your heart, I can still hear it."
Song Yanxi smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. I am just waiting to remove the needle."
When Concubine Yu heard the word "needle", her face changed and she lay stiffly on the bed, not daring to move.
She closed her eyes and urged, "Hurry up and take these things off my body. It hurts my eyes."
Lian Qiao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the princess is treating you. Please be patient."
Imperial Concubine Yu glared at her and said unhappily, "It's not like I don't have eyes. I need a little hoof like you to remind me."
She glanced at Song Yanxi and asked, "What disease do I have that requires this injection?"
