After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Chen Fu stood on the white jade steps and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"It's really cold this winter."
Xiao Guizi followed beside him, but she didn't dare to speak. He followed Shen Fu silently until they returned to the Hehuan Palace, and then he spoke.
"Why does your majesty look unhappy?"
Chen Fu let the palace maid take off her cloak. Her cold body gradually warmed up under the red charcoal burning in the palace.
She stood in front of the stove and held out her hand, expressionless: "It's as expected, nothing to be surprised about."
Shu Wanyi was demoted, which Shen Fu had guessed before she left.
After all, Fang Jinlan was not dead. No matter how big a mistake Shu Wanyi made, it was only superficial to His Majesty and could not be considered as defiling the harem.
Being reduced to a minor punishment is punishment enough. It won't take her life.
"Then the queen is unhappy?" Xiao Guizi waited all the way and finally had the courage to speak.
He waved his hand to send the servants away, and after they left, he walked to Chen Fu and bent down, "Your Majesty, Shu Wanyi is under house arrest. From now on, what happens to the people in Yikun Palace depends on your words."
The concubines were under house arrest and couldn't even go out.
I had to rely on others to deliver food and drink.
Shen Fu didn't even have to say anything, as long as she let out a little hint, someone would naturally do it.
"Madam, regarding Shu Wanyi's diet, should we…"
Xiao Guizi stretched out her hand and made a gesture.
"No need." Chen Fu lowered her head and glanced at Xiao Guizi: "Tell the imperial kitchen to give it to her according to Wanyi's position."
She wanted to harm Shu Wanyi.
Revenge is revenge, but Shu Wanyi is the master after all, and Shen Fu is too disdainful to do these little tricks behind her back.
"Her fate will be determined by the mistakes she made." Chen Fu's fingers were warm from the charcoal fire, and she looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist.
He stretched out his hand and turned it casually: "We don't need to dirty our hands."
Xiao Guizi nodded.
He looked up at Chen Fu and was about to bend down to go out when there were two knocks on the door.
The cheerful voice of the little palace maid came in: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Sister Zisu is awake."
This is the best news I have heard today.
When Shen Fu rushed over, she didn't expect the imperial physician to also arrive. When he entered the room, he couldn't help but glance at Doctor He.
Only then did he look at the bed.
Zi Su was half leaning on the bed. She had been unconscious for so long that she had become completely skinny.
The flesh on her cheeks was sunken, making her eyes look particularly large.
She looked around the hall with her eyes open, her face full of confusion, and it was obvious that she still had no idea what had happened.
It was not until she saw Shen Fu standing at the door that Zi Su spoke: "My Lady..."
She stretched out her hand toward her side.
When Shen Fu saw her open eyes, she felt a burning sensation in her eyes.
Seeing this, he quickly walked over, reached out and held her hand.
"Finally woke up."
For such a long time, I have kept my eyes tightly closed every day.
Sometimes Shen Fu would even be afraid that one day Zi Su would never wake up again.
But until now, after seeing these eyes, her heart, which had been hanging in the balance for such a long time, finally settled down completely.
"It was me who failed to protect you." After he finished speaking, his voice became choked with sobs.
She traveled a long way from Suzhou to Kyoto, bringing nothing with her except shiso.
In her previous life, she couldn't even protect herself, let alone Shisu.
Now seeing that she was fine, Shen Fu couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zi Su was lying on the bed, and when she saw Chen Fu's appearance, her eyes were also red: "Mother...Mother..."
"Fang, Fang Jinlan..." She hadn't recovered yet and was having difficulty speaking. These words seemed to pop out from the corners of her mouth word by word:
"She, she, eavesdropped, Madam, she..."
"I know." She was the one who went to call Zi Su out. Chen Fu held Zi Su's hand and didn't want to say those meaningless words anymore.
But the tears still fell.
"The patient has just woken up, so don't get too excited at this moment." At this time, a voice came from behind.
He Congzhi came forward holding the medicine and said, "Drink this medicine first."
Chen Fu raised her hand and wiped away her tears, then she let go of Zi Su's hand.
Watching the palace maids helping her drink the medicine until she fell asleep.
Only then did Shen Fu leave.
"Your Highness, please don't worry. I see that Sister Zisu has woken up and will recover in the future. Naturally, she will not have any complaints."
After leaving Zisu's house, Xiao Guizi finally spoke.
Zi Su woke up, and Xiao Guizi's eyes also turned red, but he wiped away the tears quickly and thought no one saw it.
But the corners of his mouth were always curled up.
"Your Majesty, please don't be sad anymore. Sister Zisu would probably feel uncomfortable if she saw this."
Xiao Guizi bent over and tried to persuade her earnestly. Shen Fu turned her head and looked behind her.
On the corridor, Doctor He and others were coming out one after another. He was standing right in front, talking to the medicine boy beside him with a sidelong glance. When he raised his eyes and saw Chen Fu standing in front of him, he paused.
"Master He." The medicine boy held up the prescription and looked up in confusion when he saw that he stopped talking.
Following the gaze of Imperial Doctor He, the little medicine boy saw that it was Chen Fu, and then he knelt down hurriedly and saluted: "Your servant greets the Empress Zhao Fei."
"Doctor He."
Shen Fu called out to Doctor He.
"Just prescribe the medicine like this." He Congzhi handed the prescription to the medicine boy: "You go first."
The little medicine boy put away the prescription, saluted quickly to Chen Fu, and then ran quickly towards the Imperial Hospital.
He Congzhi only stepped forward when there was no one around.
"Your humble servant greets the queen." He Congzhi raised his hands towards Chen Fu and bowed respectfully.
"Doctor He." Shen Fu's eyes fell on him.
It is already winter, but He Congzhi is still wearing the thin imperial physician's uniform. With a thick medicine box on his back, his already thin body seemed even straighter when blown by the cold wind.
"Doctor He has helped me so much, but I have never thanked him."
He Congzhi raised his head, and his handsome face fell on Shen Fu's face for a long time.
After a moment, he lowered his head again and said, "I am only doing my duty. I am able to help Empress Zhao solve her problems. Why should I thank you?"
He stood in front of Shen Fu, carrying a medicine box. His handsome body is like a green bamboo, neither humble nor arrogant.
"No need to thank me?" Chen Fu looked at the face in front of her with a hint of inquiry between her eyebrows.
"I never believe that there is kindness without reason in the world."
Shen Fu's eyes were cold, as if she wanted to see through Doctor He's heart from his face.
"Money, fame, or an official position." Chen Fu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Doctor He has helped me so much. As long as Doctor He asks, I will definitely agree."
Shen Fu's words were full of great appeal.
She was a favorite concubine, and no one in the palace could surpass her.
According to her current status, she is the most respected person in the palace.
Then the reward she mentioned is naturally the best.
