Hua Xia wanted to stop her, but Sheng Xiyan knew that Concubine Liang did it on purpose. Once Hua Xia said that, it would give her an excuse to punish her.
"Let me try it."
But when the palace maid brought her to the courtyard, she found two large baskets of Pinellia ternata and Poria cocos.
"The Queen's illness does not require so many medicinal herbs."
The head maid said, "Her Majesty wants Concubine Sheng to crush all these herbs without any mistakes. Let's get started."
Hua Xia and Mei Xiang were pulled away when they wanted to help.
French Pinellia is very hard and it is difficult to crush it. The base of Sheng Xiyan's right hand was rubbed red and his forehead was covered with sweat.
I kept doing it for an hour and was exhausted and weak, and my stomach was aching terribly from my period.
Sheng Xiyan gave Meixiang a wink, suggesting that she should quickly go to the Queen to report the matter.
Meixiang understood and quietly left Chuxiu Palace, and as soon as she got out, she quickly ran towards Jingren Palace.
It was already night and the palace lanterns were just beginning to light up.
He ran out of breath and finally arrived at Jingren Palace. He begged and pleaded to ask the palace servants to go in and report.
But it happened that the queen was playing with Le Wen at that time, and the palace servants did not dare to disturb her. It was not until half an hour later that the wet nurse took Le Wen to rest.
The maidservant then reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Sheng's maidservant said that Concubine Liang asked Young Lady Sheng to pound the herbs. She has been pounding for half a day and now Young Lady Sheng has her period again. She is worried that she is in danger and has come to ask for help from Your Majesty."
Empress Duan said displeasedly, "Liang Fei is really making a fuss. You go and tell her that I am sending her an imperial decree to let Sheng Fei go back and rest."
"Yes, my lady."
In the courtyard outside the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, Sheng Xiyan fainted due to exhaustion.
Hua Xia hurriedly called her, "Young Master, Young Master."
Concubine Liang walked out of the main hall slowly, "Wake her up quickly, I'm still waiting for the medicine to drink!"
Hua Xia knelt down and said, "Empress Liang, please spare our young lady. She is already uncomfortable during her menstrual period, so how can she bear such heavy work?"
The head maid came up and slapped her. "This is outrageous! You are not allowed to teach the Empress a lesson. Hurry and wake up Young Master Sheng, or we will go get some cold water and throw it on her."
Hua Xia was extremely anxious. Why hadn’t Meixiang returned with the reinforcements yet? What should she do?
Concubine Liang scolded, "What are you waiting for? Throw water on me."
Two palace maids came over with a bucket of cold water and poured it on Sheng Xiyan. Hua Xia quickly protected her, and the two were soaked like drowned rats.
Sheng Xiyan woke up suddenly, her face and body covered in cold water. It was a spring night, and it was already cold, so she was shivering with cold.
"Shengpin, hurry up and prepare the medicine. Don't delay my treatment."
Hua Xia helped her up, and Sheng Xiyan said, "Your Highness is clearly torturing me on purpose. Why don't we go and have a discussion with the Empress and the Emperor?"
"Don't scare me!..."
Meixiang brought in Qingdai, the head of Jingren Palace. Concubine Liang sarcastically asked, "Are you calling for reinforcements?"
He then shouted, "How do you judge people? You don't even know when they're leaving!"
The maids inside and outside the palace knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Qing Dai said, "Lady Liang, the Empress's decree is that it's late at night and that Concubine Sheng should go back to rest. If anything goes wrong, she can't be held responsible for you by the Emperor."
Concubine Liang was also a little scared after hearing these words, "Take her away quickly, it will be unlucky for me to see her."
Hua Xia and Mei Xiang quickly helped Sheng Xiyan up; she was trembling all over.
Qing Dai said, "Miss Sheng, please go back and rest. The Empress said that you should rest well these few days and there is no need to pay your respects."
"Thank you, Queen."
Sheng Xiyan fainted after saying this, "My lady, my lady!"
Several palace maids worked together to carry her back to the side hall. The inside of her pants was covered in blood.
Frightened, Hua Xia said, "Just wait, I'll go find the doctor."
Xiao Zhuozi said, "I can run fast, I'll go!" He quickly ran to the Imperial Hospital.
After a stick of incense had passed, the night doctor finally arrived. After taking the patient's pulse,
"Mrs. Sheng's menstrual flow is already heavy. She did strenuous work for half a day and was exposed to a cold, which has harmed her body. She needs to rest for a while and stay in bed as much as possible. I will prescribe a warming and tonic prescription for her."
"Excuse me, Imperial Physician."
Several palace maids used a small stove to cook medicine in the yard and gave it to Sheng Xiyan to drink half an hour later. It was already late at night.
The next day after the morning court session, on the way back to the Yangxin Palace from the Qianqing Palace.
Eunuch Fu hesitated to speak, and Xuan Ling asked, "What happened? Why do you look like that?"
"Your Majesty, I heard something early this morning."
Xuan Ling glared at him, and Eunuch Fu continued, "Does the Emperor want to know about Young Lady Sheng?"
"speak."
"It's like this. Yesterday, Concubine Liang said she needed to boil some medicine, so she asked Lady Sheng to pound it. Pinellia ternata is hard, and Poria cocos is also difficult to work with. Lady Sheng worked on these two until dark, but she also had her period and fainted from weakness..."
Xuan Ling was surprised and asked, "How is he now?"
Eunuch Fu said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Later, the Empress asked Lady Sheng to go back and rest. The palace maids ran to find the imperial physician, who boiled medicine for Lady Sheng overnight. I think she is much better now."
Xuan Ling was stunned for a moment, and the image of a woman with tearful eyes appeared in his mind...
"Go to the side hall of Chuxiu Palace."
After a while, the imperial carriage stopped outside the side hall of Chuxiu Palace.
Emperor Xuanwu strode into the palace gate with great strides, and as soon as he finished his announcement, he had already entered the main hall.
In the inner hall, Meixiang helped Sheng Xiyan get up and leaned against the couch, with Huaxia holding a bowl of medicine beside her.
"emperor."
Xuan Ling walked over and saw that the beauty's face was pale, and even her usually rosy lips were pale.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Sheng Xiyan was about to get off the bed and bow, but was stopped, "Don't move, just lean back."
