Chapter 1452 The Queen is Here
"What did you say?!"
When the news reached Jianfu Palace, Feng Qianyan's face had not yet faded the smile that had appeared on her face when she heard that Qin Ruolan had been banished to the cold palace and suffered a lot there, but then she heard the news that Shao Ren was seriously injured, and her face suddenly changed.
She stood up suddenly: "How could this happen?!"
Xiao Duozi knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "I heard that Doctor Shao came to the palace and was about to leave when he slipped down the stone steps near the east gate and broke his leg."
"So, can he still move?"
"The Imperial Hospital just brought him over. They said he had a bone injury."
“…”
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. I have to rest at home for the next few months."
"this--"
Feng Qianyan turned pale with fright and frowned: "Ouch!"
She held her stomach and showed a painful expression.
Hanxiang and Qin'er behind her were terrified and hurried forward to help her sit down. Hanxiang said, "My Lady, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Qianyan gritted her teeth, sweat dripping down her forehead. After a long while, she squeezed out a word from between her teeth.
"pain!"
"What should I do?"
Hanxiang suddenly panicked.
Originally, her fetus had been unstable, and it had been stable because Doctor Shao had been using the method of burning moxa to induce labor and preserve the fetus. However, after Qin Ruolan came to Jianfu Palace and made a big fuss, Doctor Shao did not come for a few days in order not to arouse suspicion.
Once the moxa burning method stopped, Concubine Ning would feel abdominal pain from time to time, but she could only endure it.
I originally thought that after the storm has died down, I would let Shao Ren come and take a look.
Unexpectedly, news came today that he was injured and needed to recuperate.
Seeing Feng Qianyan sweating profusely from the pain, her lips turning pale, Hanxiang was frightened and said hurriedly, "Madam, should we ask the Imperial Hospital to send someone over to take a look?"
"no!"
Although the pain was excruciating, Feng Qianyan still insisted and grabbed her hand: "Absolutely not!"
She conspired with Shao Ren to use the method of burning the fetus to induce labor and preserve the fetus, which was a taboo in the palace.
If another imperial physician were to take her pulse and examine her, he would have found out immediately.
By that time, I'm afraid her crime will be serious!
She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't let anyone else know!"
"But, but——"
Hanxiang was about to say something, but at this moment, a young eunuch guarding the gate came running in and said breathlessly, "The Empress is here with Doctor Wang."
"What?!"
They looked at each other and suddenly panicked.
Feng Qianyan's eyes rolled and she said hurriedly, "Help me get on the bed."
"Yes, yes."
Hanxiang and the others didn't know what she was thinking, but they naturally did what she told them to do. They immediately helped her onto the bed, even took off her clothes and pulled the quilt over her. Feng Qianyan then asked them to lower the curtains and said, "Just tell them that I'm asleep."
"yes."
After doing all this, I heard footsteps coming from outside.
Queen Xu Miaoyin, followed by two palace maids and Wang Baizhi from the Imperial Hospital, walked in.
Hanxiang and the others hurried forward and saluted: "Your servants pay their respects to the Empress."
Xu Miaoyin asked, "Where is Concubine Ning?"
Hanxiang said, "The queen is still sleeping."
"Still sleeping? Still sleeping at this hour?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Ever since Madam Qin came to our palace and caused such a scene that day, I was so angry that I had a miscarriage and haven't slept well for several days. Today, I finally lay down to catch up on some sleep, and I slept quite soundly."
"oh……"
"I will go and wake her up immediately."
Hearing her say this, Xu Miaoyin could only raise her hand to stop her and said, "Forget it, she finally got some sleep, don't wake her up."
Hanxiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."
So, he retreated again.
Xu Miaoyin slowly walked into Yanchun Pavilion and looked inside. The bed curtains were drawn, and it was quiet, without any movement at all.
She whispered, "How long have you been sleeping?"
"I've been asleep for about a quarter of an hour."
"Um."
Hanxiang hurriedly helped the Queen sit down and offered her hot tea. She whispered, "What instructions does the Queen have?"
The Queen naturally wouldn't talk to her. After sitting down, she just picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The maid Chun'er, who was standing behind Xu Miaoyin, stepped forward and said, "Doctor Shao accidentally fell when he entered the palace today and needs to recuperate at home for a while. Doctor Shao has always been the one who took care of Concubine Ning's pregnancy, but he can't come today. The Queen specially replaced him with Doctor Wang, who will take Concubine Ning's pulse from now on. Today, he also came to take a look."
At this moment, a "clang" sound came from the side.
Everyone turned around and saw that it was the little palace maid Qin'er who was pale and had accidentally bumped into the corner of the table.
Xu Miaoyin frowned.
Hanxiang immediately asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so well behaved?"
Qin Er knelt down hurriedly: "This slave deserves to die."
Hanxiang also knelt before Xu Miaoyin and said, "Please forgive me, Queen. She is ignorant and often makes Concubine Ning angry."
“…”
Xu Miaoyin glanced at them and said calmly: "It's okay, it's not a big deal, get up."
"Thank you, Queen."
Everyone stood up again. Hanxiang waved to Qin'er, and Qin'er immediately retreated to the corner, not daring to move again.
The atmosphere became a little cold.
Xu Miaoyin didn't ask them anything anymore, nor did she speak anymore. She just sat there quietly drinking tea, as if she was waiting for Concubine Ning to wake up.
Hanxiang was sweating profusely and turned to look at the bed in the inner room.
The bed curtains remained motionless.
Concubine Ning was in so much pain just now that she is now lying motionless on the bed. No one knows what is going on.
Time passes by little by little.
Xu Miaoyin sat there the whole time, and Hanxiang refilled her teacup with water twice, and even the tea leaves became diluted.
When Hanxiang came forward to add water again, she looked at the bed curtain with a confused mind while pouring the water. Suddenly, her hand shook and the tea spilled onto the table.
She was so frightened that she knelt down hurriedly: "This servant deserves death, please forgive me, Queen!"
Xu Miaoyin glanced at her, then looked at the swaying tea.
After a while, he just smiled faintly.
"Never mind, it's not a big deal, get up now."
Hanxiang then stood up cautiously, only to see Xu Miaoyin also stand up, brushing off her sleeves and saying, "It seems your mistress is too tired, and I can't wait for her to wake up. Doctor Wang, let's go first."
Wang Baizhi hadn't said anything the whole time, just standing there quietly. Only then did she speak: "Yes."
Hanxiang carefully walked them to the door again.
He watched their backs go away before he breathed a sigh of relief. He hurried back to Yanchun Pavilion and pulled aside the bed curtains. He saw Feng Qianyan lying there weakly, her face pale and her clothes and hair almost soaked with sweat.
"Empress!"
