Ningyue came to the tightly closed palace gate and knocked hard: "Someone come! The Imperial Concubine is seriously ill and needs to summon the imperial physician urgently!"
She knocked on the door and slammed it, but the guards at the door remained indifferent!
A new emperor appoints new ministers. At this moment, Ningyue felt more clearly how different things were after the imperial concubine lost power.
But she didn't give up. She gritted her teeth and continued to beat:
"The Emperor only confined the Imperial Concubine to her house, and didn't leave her to fend for herself. If anything were to happen to the Imperial Concubine, could you afford the consequences?!"
Her voice was shrill, filled with accusations after a breakdown, and the tightly closed door finally slowly opened a crack.
"No noise."
The guard had a stern face, and it looked difficult to talk to him. Ningyue had originally planned to plead for mercy, but now she changed her mind.
"The Imperial Concubine is seriously ill. If the Imperial Physician doesn't arrive soon, her life will be in danger! I am the Imperial Concubine's personal maid, and I will have to die to pay my respects. May I ask, Sir Guard, do you want to do the same as me and pay my life for yours?"
In order to confine the imperial concubine, the imperial guards dispatched to guard her were all from Fenglinwei.
As luck would have it, this team's immediate superior is none other than Marquis Changning, Lu Jing, who has just returned from injury!
"Wait a minute." The guard didn't dare to make a decision on his own. As Ningyue said, the imperial concubine was a legitimate master after all.
Although she has been sentenced to house arrest now, she was so favored before. Does the emperor really dislike her?
If something really happened, it would be something that a mere guard like him would not be able to handle!
Although Lu Jing's injury has healed, he still cannot make big movements or lift heavy objects.
Therefore, the emperor also sympathized with him and allowed him to sit on duty, showing the emperor's tolerance towards him.
After hearing about this, Lu Jing pondered for a moment, "Is the Empress really ill or is she faking it?"
It's not that he wants to judge others by his own standards, it's just that the timing of Concubine Lin's illness is too coincidental.
Now, all the people of the Lin family, except Concubine Lin, have been imprisoned and will be sentenced later.
She asked the imperial physician for help at this time, who knows whether it is true or not?
What if he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to do something strange? Wouldn't he be charged with dereliction of duty?
"Your Excellency, I didn't see the Imperial Concubine. The palace maid was very agitated and seemed genuinely anxious. It didn't seem like she was acting."
"This..." Lu Jing hesitated.
If it is false, then his persistence in his stance is nothing but inhumane, but on the surface, there is nothing wrong with it.
But if it is true, if something really happens to the imperial concubine in the future, and the emperor holds her accountable... the consequences will be something he cannot afford.
Lu Jing thinks he has a bright future now, and he doesn't want to take any risks at all.
"Since the Imperial Concubine is ill, it is reasonable to ask the Imperial Physician to treat her."
Lu Jing finally relaxed. As a man, he felt that he could still understand the emperor's psychology.
The current Concubine Lin is to the emperor what Fang Rou was to him back then.
Although he really wanted to marry Fang Rou, he also wanted to give her and the child a legitimate status.
But on his left was his grandmother, and on his right was Shen Ruoyan. He was caught in the middle, feeling torn.
This feeling of not being able to do what you want will be remembered for a lifetime!
Isn’t it the same for the emperor now?
If the rebels had not caused so much trouble, even if Li Qingzheng's case was overturned, would the Lin family have ended up in this situation?
Obviously, no.
Because Concubine Lin is his beloved woman, even for Concubine Lin's sake, the emperor will be lenient with the Lin family -
The emperor is now dealing with the Lin family because he is forced to do so and has no choice!
Even if the Lin family really fell into decline, the emperor would always remember this incident and these people in his heart.
When he has time to spare, there is no guarantee that he will not be held accountable later.
At that time, if something happened to Concubine Lin because of me, what would happen? !
"Let her go and fetch the imperial physician, and have someone accompany her the entire time. That way, she won't be able to find fault with us."
The biggest worry about house arrest is that people will escape.
As long as no one runs away from Concubine Lin's palace, it is not the responsibility of the Fenglin Guards.
Lu Jing felt that he was really smart and could easily solve such a problem!
Although the subordinate wanted to say something, seeing that Lu Jing was getting impatient, he finally said nothing and did as he was told.
He trotted all the way back to the palace gate. Ningyue was waiting there quietly, but her eyes were obviously redder than before.
The guard's heart skipped a beat, and he dared not delay any longer. "This way, follow me!"
He led his men and rushed all the way to the Imperial Hospital. Ningyue followed behind, trotting the whole way. Looking at the guards with expressionless faces but long strides, she was a little puzzled:
"Why does it feel like he's more anxious than me?"
But no matter what, as long as we can get her out, it's fine!
"Doctor Meng, the Imperial Concubine is seriously ill. Please, Doctor Meng, save her!"
As soon as Ningyue arrived at the Imperial Hospital, she took the initiative and knelt down in front of Doctor Meng without waiting for the guards to find someone for her!
"Isn't this Miss Ningyue from Concubine Lin's palace? What are you doing? Get up!"
The medicine boy next to Doctor Meng stepped forward and quickly helped Ningyue up.
The guard was about to speak, wanting to say that this was against the rules, but Ningyue wiped her tears and explained:
"Brother Guard, the Empress's health has always been taken care of by Imperial Physician Meng. Imperial Physician Meng has a better understanding of the Empress's condition."
Although the imperial physicians would treat the concubines in each palace, there were constant struggles in the harem, so the choice of the imperial physician was particularly important.
Even in Fenglinwei, they had heard many stories about the struggles between concubines, bribing the imperial physician to prescribe the wrong prescription, aggravating the illness...
Only they can't think of such things, and there is nothing these women in the harem can't do!
Sometimes, they even couldn't help but sigh——
"These most noble women in the world also have some of the cruelest hearts!"
Since Ningyue said so, the guards naturally could not stop her and prevent Doctor Meng from seeing the imperial concubine.
Anyway, his task was to bring this palace maid to invite the imperial physician. As for who to invite, that was not his business.
The guards "escorted" them all the way and saw Ningyue and Doctor Meng enter the house with their own eyes, and only then did they feel relieved.
What they were most worried about was that the palace maid Ningyue would take the opportunity to sneak out from under their noses and deliver a message to the imperial concubine, so they did not dare to take it lightly.
Fortunately, there was no harm.
Even if something really happened to the imperial concubine later, it couldn't be blamed on them.
The imperial physicians were also invited in. They had done everything they were supposed to do, and the rest naturally had nothing to do with them.
But he never expected that in the end, they would be the ones to take the blame!
