The imperial concubine had a headache, so she quickly sent Xiyan to take Yaoguangyue to the imperial garden for a walk so that she could have some peace and quiet.
But after she calmed down, she suddenly realized a problem.
Just now, when she saw Doctor Wen taking Yao Guangyue's pulse, his reaction was clearly that he heard Yao Guangyue's thoughts.
My father and brother can hear it because they are blood relatives, but what about Doctor Wen?
Just when the imperial concubine was puzzled, General Mu suddenly handed in a letter, saying that he wanted to enter the palace to visit the little princess.
When the imperial concubine heard this, she was immediately delighted and ordered someone to bring her father to the palace.
"This old minister pays homage to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine!"
"Father, please come and sit down. I have prepared some tea for you. Please try it."
In the first two years, the old general could not taste the saltiness of tea. It was not until the past two years that he listened to his children's advice and started drinking green tea to clear away heat and detoxify.
However, every time he drank it, the old general couldn't help but complain.
"I really don't know what this tea tastes like. I can't even taste it! The wine your second brother sent back is better."
The imperial concubine felt depressed. The old general was old now and had suffered injuries on the battlefield in his early years. The imperial physician had long ago warned him not to drink too much, but the second brother always indulged this old naughty boy.
"Father, you must stop drinking so much these days. I once heard Yue'er say that Yaoguang Kingdom will be in great danger soon. If you're not here, who can wake the Emperor up if he makes another mistake?"
Old Mu had already thought of this, so he only took a small sip of the wine his son brought back every day. Even if it was for the sake of the entire family and country, he had to hold on to his old bones.
"Don't worry about that. What about the little princess? This little granddaughter looks just like you when you were a child. When the emperor was here, this old man couldn't hold her enough!"
I don’t know if it’s because the emperor gave him a golden medal of immunity from death and now has special trust in the Mu family, but General Mu has put down the burden in his heart and has become more lively.
"That little girl had a good thing happen to her today. She was so happy that she sang in her heart all afternoon, but it was out of tune. It was really annoying me. Don't let Xiyan take her out."
Old Mu nodded. He had also heard about this matter. He heard that Doctor Wen claimed that in the middle of the night, he dreamed of a divine beast, the Qilin, who entrusted him with a magical medicine prescription in his dream.
And the Qilin seemed to have landed in the imperial concubine's palace. Rumors were everywhere outside, and everyone was wondering whether the newly born little princess was the reincarnation of the Qilin.
"This old man already knows about this. This is a good thing. No wonder the little girl is so happy!"
The imperial concubine nodded and then told her father the doubts in her heart.
"Father, when Doctor Wen got the prescription, I found that he seemed to be able to hear Yue'er's thoughts."
"Oh?" The old general was slightly surprised, but he had a guess in his mind: "Can he hear it too?"
The imperial concubine nodded with a worried look on her face and replied, "That reaction couldn't be wrong. He used the inexplicably appearing prescription on the queen, and he also claimed that the Qilin soldiers were talking about dreams. All of this is enough to prove that he can indeed hear."
"But my daughter is a little worried. Before, only blood relatives could hear it, but now even an outsider can hear it. If one day the Queen can hear it too, I'm afraid she will use it to make a fuss."
The old general thought for a long time, then reassured his daughter, "You don't have to worry about this. I should know why Doctor Wen was able to hear this."
The imperial concubine was still curious about how her father knew such a thing, so she used her eyes to encourage her father to continue.
"This matter has to do with your marriage to His Majesty."
Of course the imperial concubine remembered this matter. She was the destined princess consort. If the prince had not been bewitched by someone, she might have been the queen today.
"I remember she was the concubine daughter of a minor official at the time. After falling into the water, she became very strange and dressed boldly, exposing her arms and legs. She also kept yelling about things like 'Are there any kings, princes, generals, or ministers of different races?'"
"She even instigated the people to fight the landlords and divide their land, and even intended to seduce the late emperor. This girl's words were shocking, but she was very talented. The funny thing is, she couldn't write and was illiterate."
The old general nodded and recalled what happened that year.
"That's right. Didn't that woman die later? But who could have imagined that she was such a witch? Before she died, she poisoned His Majesty, who was still the Crown Prince."
When talking about this incident, I still feel a little emotional about this imperial concubine.
She and the prince were childhood sweethearts at that time, and the late emperor even specially arranged a marriage between her and the prince.
The two of them had a very good relationship, until later, when the prince saw that woman, he was bewitched by her.
The woman tried to seduce the late emperor but failed, and was spoiled by the prince to the point of lawlessness. In a fit of rage, the late emperor gave the current queen to the emperor.
This is no wonder. The emperor, who was the crown prince at the time, did many things that made the imperial concubine sad. In anger, General Mu went to the late emperor with his crutches and canceled the marriage.
The late emperor was also very angry, so he thought that if the prince insisted on marrying that woman, he would find a more powerful and noble lady to suppress him, so he chose the queen.
Strangely enough, the prince became sober as soon as he got married, while the woman's hair turned white overnight.
She was later regarded as a witch and burned to death under the city gate.
After the prince regained consciousness, he came to the imperial concubine crying and begging for forgiveness. The imperial concubine finally softened her heart and married him as a concubine.
Later, the prince ascended the throne and she became the one and only imperial concubine.
"I know about this, but how could I not know about the existence of a curse?"
The old general sighed and tugged at his little goatee.
"The future emperor has been poisoned by a woman and is likely to give up his throne for a beautiful woman. How can anyone feel at ease?"
"That woman is very venomous. She said that the poison she had inflicted would make the emperor and his princes fall in love with a special woman. After they fall in love, they would be willing to sacrifice the entire Yaoguang Kingdom as a foil."
The imperial concubine couldn't help but gasp. Before, she was still wondering why the emperor and the princes in the plot that Yao Guangyue described were so stupid?
Now it seems that everything is traceable.
"I see. So what does this have to do with Doctor Wen?"
"Doctor Wen's mother also studied poison. She examined the Crown Prince's entire body but found no signs of poison. However, just in case, Doctor Wen and the Emperor exchanged their vital energy blood."
Although the imperial concubine did not understand what essence and blood meant, she subconsciously felt that it was not that simple. However, if it was related to essence and blood, it could explain why Doctor Wen could hear it.
