Concubine Xin was so moved that she asked the palace maid to take the snow lotus to the imperial physician to stew it.
This Tianshan Snow Lotus is really a good thing, and it was given by the Queen Mother. She shouldn't have used it so soon, but she is feeling really uncomfortable now, and she is coughing so hard that she feels unwell. Now that there is a good thing that is suitable for her condition, she must put her own body first.
After all, she still had the thought of the Second Prince. Although the Emperor had decreed that the mother and son could not meet, he was still her own flesh and blood, the child she had carried for ten months. She wanted to see him grow up, start a family, and build a career.
The most important thing is... now that the Queen's eldest son is gone, her second prince is the eldest son. Our dynasty has always attached great importance to the eldest son. Her Chenghui may be the one to ascend the throne in the future.
By then, she would be the Holy Mother Empress Dowager. Even the Queen, her biological mother, would be inferior to her. She would be the most noble woman in the world. Who could stop her from meeting her Chenghui then?
Thinking of this, Concubine Xin felt that her cough seemed to have improved a lot and her body felt better. She then repeatedly praised the Tianshan Snow Lotus sent by the Queen as a miracle medicine.
Her personal maid Cai Yan saw her master's expression and knew what she was thinking.
There was no way. Ever since the eldest prince passed away, her master had suffered a series of setbacks and was naturally holding back her breath. She had also grumbled to her in private.
To be fair, it is normal for the master to have this idea, but it must be combined with reality. As a servant, she feels that the master's second prince is far inferior to the queen's eldest prince.
Now that the eldest prince is gone, the second prince becomes the eldest son, but he is still not qualified to be worthy of that position in the future.
Besides, the Queen was already very sad about losing her eldest son, the Crown Prince. It was inappropriate for her master to have such an idea at this time. If she angered the Queen, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
After all, the master is no longer the former Concubine Xin, but just a noble lady. It would be very easy for the queen to punish the master for this.
Thinking of this, Cai Yan wanted to persuade her master: "Master, it seems that the Tianshan Snow Lotus sent by the Queen Mother has worked well for you. The Queen Mother still cares about you."
Concubine Xin's expression was filled with joy: "Of course, I followed the Empress in the past. The Empress has always been a virtuous and nostalgic person."
After a pause, Concubine Xin's face was filled with anger again. "But only the Empress can think of me at this time. The others have changed their expressions faster than turning the pages of a book when they saw me lose power. They are all mean people who change their attitudes according to the situation!"
Cai Yan agreed: "Yes, the Queen has treated you so well and is now willing to take care of you. You should get closer to the Queen."
"Master, you've already said that those people in the harem are opportunists. You're in a very bad situation right now. Only by following the Empress and having her backing can those people not dare to get ahead of you."
The master is in a bad situation now. Since the Queen is willing to take the initiative to get close to and take care of the master, the master should take advantage of the situation and make friends with the Queen, so as not to suffer from those people's anger.
The most important thing is to know the goodness of the Queen, and stop thinking about letting the Second Prince replace the First Prince.
It would be good if the emperor approved of the second prince in the future, but if it was his own master who was planning this matter first, not only would the queen be angry if she knew about it, the emperor would be even more furious if he knew about it.
After all, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, especially such a major matter as the establishment of a crown prince.
Caiyan tried to persuade her earnestly, but Concubine Xin didn't listen. She glanced at Caiyan disapprovingly and said, "Of course I know this. Do I need to tell you? The situation is pressing now. When Chenghui comes in the future... then we'll see who dares to bully me."
By then, even the queen will have to look at her mood, huh!
After hearing what Noble Lady Xin said, Cai Yan felt deeply powerless. Was her persuasion in vain? Or was her persuasion not clear enough?
She opened her mouth to persuade him again, but seeing the impatient look on her master's face, she wisely shut up.
The master won't listen now, but it doesn't matter. After all, the master is only talking in front of her now, and he is very vague. She can just find a chance to persuade him slowly later.
Caiyan thought that she would slowly persuade Concubine Xin in the future, but she never knew that she would never have that chance again.
…
In the blink of an eye, another half month passed. That night, Ning Yuxi was doing something shameful with the emperor. For some reason, the emperor had not been in good physical condition recently, and it was no match for the several times he had done that night before.
Now, it was only once or twice a night, and she still couldn't get enough satisfaction from it. Ning Yuxi also sent her nourishing medicinal food from time to time, but the emperor's health seemed to be getting better, but in this aspect, he was still not as good as before.
Maybe I’m really getting old, Ning Yuxi sighed as she cooperated with the performance.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the two of them finished their business and were helped to wash by the palace maids.
Just as he finished washing and lay down on the bed, Song Qu's slightly solemn voice rang out from outside: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xin of Jingyang Palace suddenly fainted just now. The imperial physician examined her and said..."
Song Qu thought about what the imperial physician said about Concubine Xin's serious health problems, which led to her sudden fainting and she has been in a coma ever since. It has been almost two hours and she still hasn't woken up.
Thinking of this, Song Qu became a little hesitant.
Although the emperor was not disturbed when he was doing good things, he was obviously very unhappy at the moment. It would be bad enough if they disturbed him with something, but why was they so hesitant?
He immediately lowered his voice and asked, "What did the imperial physician say?"
Song Qu was startled by the emperor's tone and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that Concubine Xin is seriously ill and hasn't woken up in almost two hours. I'm afraid... I'm afraid her life is in danger."
Hearing this, Gu Qilan frowned slightly and sat up from the bed. Ning Yuxi stood up and put on a coat for him and herself. Gu Qilan said, "Come in and tell me what's going on. Isn't her illness much better?"
Song Qu hurriedly followed the instructions and entered the bedroom, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xin's illness has gradually improved since she drank the soup made from the precious Tianshan Snow Lotus.
The imperial physician later examined her pulse and said it was much more stable and she was recovering. But it wasn't until she suddenly fainted tonight that we realized she was severely depleted."
Gu Qilan's tone turned cold: "So the people in the Imperial Hospital are not doing their best?"
Otherwise, why was the internal deficiency of the body so severe that the Imperial Physician couldn't diagnose it after taking the pulse?
Song Qu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, that's not the case. The judge said that Concubine Xin's body has become much weaker due to her previous illness. Although Tianshan Snow Lotus is suitable for the symptoms, its medicinal properties are quite strong. I'm afraid that Concubine Xin's body is too weak to be nourished.
So, while her pulse may appear to be stabilizing, her internal damage has actually spread. It wasn't until today, when the damage became so severe that she fell into a coma, that all of her internal symptoms erupted."
