Chapter 679: Sick
This was considered a result, but when the news reached the harem, Concubine He became increasingly uneasy.
The emperor only mentioned some minor matters, saying that there was one person missing from Concubine He's place, so he just added one.
He also delivered an oral message, saying that his beloved concubine was frightened, and rewarded her with a table of food.
He Fei had an indescribable feeling in her heart, but on the surface she looked as if nothing had happened.
Naturally, the eunuch was dragged away for punishment, and the emperor naturally also wanted to ask what was going on with the people around Concubine He.
After this torture, he basically confessed everything.
Even if there were things he didn't understand, with just a few words, they became clear.
When Shen Chuliu paid his respects, he did not look at Concubine He intentionally. He just continued doing what he was supposed to do. He also found it very enjoyable to listen to the bickering of the new concubines.
Think about how I used to be one of them.
Thinking about it this way, it was quite funny, so Shen Chuliu laughed.
"Hey, Sister Jing, what are you so happy about?" Concubine Li De happened to look over.
"I remember that we used to have such sharp arguments with each other in the past," Shen Chuliu said.
After hearing this, Concubine Lide also laughed. Now that they are in high positions, it is naturally not the same as before.
"Over the years, everyone has changed, but Concubine He has not changed at all." Concubine Li De said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu also laughed. Isn't it? He Zhaoyi is restless and now she doesn't dare to talk much to them, but she still chats with the little concubines all day long.
Also full of energy.
He Zhaoyi was a little embarrassed: "Look at what the ladies said."
Shen Chuliu smiled: "This is also good."
As long as you don't commit suicide, you are just a bad mouth. If you keep being a bad mouth for a lifetime, people will get used to it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He Zhaoyi thanked awkwardly and kept silent for the moment.
"Concubine He doesn't look happy. It's just that she lost a eunuch. He is the one who doesn't want to live. Why bother?" Concubine Ning, who was right beside her, said with a smile.
"That's not the reason. I just felt a little uncomfortable when I woke up this morning, as if I had heatstroke." He Fei said with a smile.
"Then let's ask the imperial physician to take a look." Concubine Ning didn't take it seriously.
Shen Chuliu's eyes flickered, but he didn't respond.
After the meeting, Concubine He returned to Leshou Palace and called the imperial physician.
After examining the patient, the imperial physician said it was heatstroke and it was nothing serious and that the patient just needed to take some medicine.
He Fei drank the medicine and lay down, but she still felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
When the fifth princess came to see her, she cheered up and chatted with the fifth princess for a while.
Because she was ill, the queen exempted her from paying respects.
Apart from the fights among the concubines and the occasional encounters with the emperor, there was nothing much to worry about in the palace.
On June 15th, Concubine He felt much better and went to the Empress Dowager Li's palace to pay her respects.
Everything is as usual.
However, on the night of the sixteenth, Concubine He fell ill again.
How could a heat stroke last for more than 20 days? She held the girl's hand and said, "Check it carefully. Could it be that I...had someone plot against me?"
The maids were also shocked and started to check, but in the end there was no result.
"Your Highness is sick and overthinking. I will ask the imperial physician to see you again. How could that be? The imperial physicians have changed several times. Even if there is someone behind the scenes, who can bribe several imperial physicians?"
He Fei breathed a sigh of relief, that was right.
But from that day on, her health became worse day by day. At first she just felt weak, but later she couldn't even get up.
She just couldn't believe that she was suffering from heatstroke. The imperial physician talked a lot of nonsense, but she just thought it was poisoning.
So she sent someone to invite Qi Yixiu.
The emperor naturally would not come, but he sent someone to take the fifth princess away.
Chu Si smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been really busy these days. He said that you are ill now and you really have no energy. The Fifth Princess is still young, so we should not scare her. So we asked the Fifth Princess to move to Ruiqing Palace first. There are many children in Ruiqing Palace, so the Fifth Princess will not be lonely there. We will bring her back when you are better."
He Fei's heart sank to the bottom.
"Your Majesty has always been very nice to me, but now he has no time to visit me?" asked Concubine He.
Chusi was flawless: "Look at what you said, this is only temporary, the emperor will come after he is done with his work."
Concubine He was nervous and flustered inside, but she could only keep a straight face.
After Chusi left, she leaned on the couch and thought about how to solve the current dilemma.
But she really had nothing and no one to rely on.
In Taiji Palace, Qi Yixiu finished his work and asked, "How long will it take?"
"It will take about five or six days." Chusi said.
Even the imperial physician didn't know what was going on in this matter.
Qi Yixiu also didn't want to commit sin.
Therefore, every day, Su's meals have to go through Chusi's hands.
After Chu Si's hand, it was equivalent to the emperor's hand. So if the kitchen knew what was going on, the imperial physician would also know roughly what was going on.
But I don’t really know.
This way, no one would have to bear the responsibility in the future, and no one would dare to tell anyone.
The medicine given to Su was the same medicine that Jiang Zilan had taken at the beginning. From a small amount to a large amount, it first made people dizzy and nauseous, as if they had heatstroke.
Then I felt weak all over and gradually couldn't get up.
By now, the drug's effects have taken effect and even gods cannot save you.
Shen Chuliu still asked someone to go to Taiji Palace to ask, wanting to see Concubine He.
Qi Yixiu told her to go today.
If it's too late, I'm afraid He Fei will become worse and worse, and her mind will become confused.
Since Qi Yixiu had already told Shen Chuliu, he knew that she had guessed what would happen to Concubine He today.
For the Fifth Princess, for everything, Concubine He had no choice but to go like this.
We cannot make a big move. The royal family cannot afford to lose this person.
Leshou Palace, this is Shen Chuliu’s first time back.
She never came when Concubine Kangde was still alive.
So, it's very unfamiliar here.
Leshou Palace was not so desolate. In the eyes of the servants below, the master was ill, but the master had always been favored. It was good enough that he was well.
But in Shen Chuliu's eyes, perhaps because she knew how things were, she always felt that this place was desolate.
When she came in, someone naturally greeted her.
In the hall, Su was helped up and leaned on the couch in the outer room.
She was pale and limp: "My sister is here, but unfortunately I can't get up now, so I can't pay my respects to her."
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "You have to be sincere when you pay your respects. If you are not sincere, you are cursing while paying your respects. Why bother?"
"I shouldn't understand what my sister is saying." He Fei smiled bitterly.
"But my sister is born with a very smart mind, how could she not understand?" Shen Chuliu sat beside her: "Even if my sister understood, it would be too late."
He Fei clenched her hands, but she had no strength.
"Is it you?" He Fei asked.
"How could it be me? The imperial physician didn't say anything, the kitchen didn't mention it, and you still don't understand? It seems that I was wrong. Although you were born with a smart mind, you are ultimately blinded by one thing." Shen Chuliu smiled again.
She was wearing a light red dress today, her hair was not complicated, and even her eye makeup was gentle.
There is no sharpness at all.
But when Concubine He looked at her, it was as if she saw the fierce and hurtful look she showed when she confronted the old princess of the royal family at the family dinner that year.
Li Qiu Shui: I don’t think you guessed it was me.
