The emperor came to the harem today because of Xu Lingyi.
He thought that she was young and had just entered the palace.
She has a simple and gentle personality. She was afraid that she couldn't handle so many concubines in the harem, so she came to see her.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard Wangpin say this.
"I ask Your Majesty to make the decision. I have been coughing non-stop for a while now, and my condition has even worsened. I often feel like I can't breathe."
"If you are sick, you should go see the imperial physician." The emperor said expressionlessly.
Wang Pin knew that the emperor was ruthless, but she still found it hard to accept such words.
This is the imperial family. In the past, she had always hoped that His Majesty would remember her.
After all, she had once been favored and enjoyed a glorious life. His Majesty had also praised her appearance and said that she was gentle and considerate.
Now that I am old and ugly, His Majesty has despised me to this extent.
After hearing what the emperor said, the imperial concubine looked at Wangpin and said, "Your Majesty, Wangpin may have become confused due to illness. This is why she is talking nonsense and disturbing your majesty's peace and quiet in front of the palace. Wangpin, why don't you leave now?"
The imperial concubine knew very well that the princess was old and ugly, and was not favored by His Majesty at all.
She was lucky to have a good family background, and her father was a third-rank official.
At that time she was just a talented woman. When she was young, Wang Pin was more beautiful than her and had a better family background than her.
She was favored for a period of time, but the princess never had any children.
And she gave birth to a princess.
After that, she became the imperial concubine in the palace, the only high-ranking concubine.
But Wangpin still holds the position of a concubine.
As she grew older, her favor became less and less, and now His Majesty may not even remember her.
Even if I remember, I don’t take it to heart at all.
This is also the reason why she dared to attack Wang Pin.
In fact, even though she was in the position of a noble concubine, she was still very afraid of the emperor.
Therefore, she would be very cautious when dealing with concubines and doing things that were shady.
Now, even if Concubine Wang makes trouble in front of the emperor, she is not panicked because Concubine Wang can't find any evidence against her.
She has been in charge of the harem affairs for many years.
"Your Majesty, you may think I'm being unreasonable, but after taking the imperial physician's medicine, my condition has only gotten worse. Over time, I've become suspicious, so I sent someone to take the medicine residue to see a doctor outside the palace. The folk doctors said the medicine the imperial physician prescribed for me will not only not help my condition, but will actually make it worse. Over time, I'll die."
"I didn't want to lose my composure in front of the Imperial Concubine and His Majesty. It's true that I can't see His Majesty. My position is low, so being harmed by a wicked imperial physician isn't a big deal. But the Empress Dowager and His Majesty are precious, and they can't afford to suffer even the slightest harm. So, no matter what, His Majesty must understand this matter."
Xu Lingyi raised her eyebrows. Concubine Wang was not a simple person either.
She knew that she was not favored by His Majesty, and if it only involved her, His Majesty might not pay any attention.
But now the emperor can't just ignore this matter.
The Imperial Medical Bureau was responsible for treating not only the concubines in the harem, but also the empress dowager and the emperor.
Therefore, the emperor will not only investigate this matter, but will also investigate it strictly.
Moreover, Wangpin's words were quite nice. Although she was fighting for her own life, it also demonstrated her loyalty to His Majesty.
After Concubine Wang said these words, and with the emperor present, no one in the hall dared to speak for a moment. The atmosphere was silent, and everyone was waiting for His Majesty to deal with it.
Of course Xu Lingyi would not speak rashly. She had just entered the palace and planned to take a look at the people in the harem.
"Zhang Dehua, bring here the imperial physician who prescribed the medicine for Concubine Wang, as well as the head of the Imperial Hospital."
After the emperor finished speaking, he sat on the chair in the middle of the palace. Concubine Wang knelt on the ground, and the other concubines stood.
"De Fei, come here, all of you sit down."
Xu Lingyi stepped forward and the emperor reached out to hold her hand.
Many people in the hall saw this scene and felt hatred in their hearts.
This Defei is truly a vixen.
Eunuch Zhang acted quickly, and before they had to wait for a moment, people from the Imperial Hospital were brought over.
Eunuch Zhang brought Concubine Wang's pulse diagnosis and her prescription to the emperor.
"Doctor Li, can you take a look at Concubine Wang's medicine?"
Doctor Li was an old man, and the emperor was quite nice to him, but at this moment he was sweating profusely. It was not known whether it was because he was too anxious on the way here, or because he was nervous at the moment.
As the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, he cannot escape responsibility for what happened there.
Doctor Li understood what was going on on his way here, but he had no time to look at the prescription at that time.
Now, every time he took a look, his left eyelid couldn't stop twitching.
Doctor Li knelt down, and Xu Lingyi felt very painful just by hearing the sound.
"Your Majesty, this prescription is indeed wrong. On the surface, it appears to cure a cough and a cold, but the dosage is too strong. Over time, it will be like poison to the body."
"Doctor Li, I've handed the Imperial Hospital over to you, and this is how you manage it now?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
The emperor looked at the younger imperial physician who was being held to the ground by the guards and said in a cold voice, "Who ordered you to do that?"
"Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment and no one ordered me to do this. When I first came to the Imperial Hospital, the maid of Concubine Wang humiliated me. I held a grudge and did this in a moment of confusion. I know I was wrong."
The emperor shook his head. "Zhang Dehua, take him away and torture him severely. I want to hear the truth and know who is behind it. Imprison his family members with him. If he refuses to tell the truth..."
The emperor didn't say anything else, but the people in the hall still had their hair standing on end.
But the imperial concubine didn't look abnormal at all.
————
Just before Xu Lingyi and the emperor left.
His Majesty turned around and looked at the imperial concubine.
"Noble Concubine."
At this time, the other concubines had already left.
"His Majesty."
The imperial concubine hurried forward and knelt on the ground: "I am guilty of allowing such a thing to happen in the palace. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
Some concubines who died in the past did not have as good family backgrounds as the royal concubines. They had no chance of leaving the palace and would not know why they died.
Many of them were not favored and died quietly in the palace without causing any trouble.
She had miscalculated in the matter of Concubine Wang.
But she was not worried that His Majesty would be able to find out about this matter.
Now that she had done it, she cleaned it up.
This imperial physician had only six daughters and his only son, who was born to his concubine.
His son was in his hands, and for the sake of this only child, he would not speak a word.
Even if he spoke, the person he contacted would not be her, the imperial concubine, but Concubine Li.
Thinking of this, the imperial concubine felt at peace again.
"You are guilty."
There was a coldness in the emperor's voice.
The imperial concubine's heart skipped a beat. Does His Majesty know it's her?
"The first reason is that the management is not strict. The second reason is that I don't want to see such a thing again. Otherwise, you don't have to manage this harem anymore."
