Chapter 107: The condition worsens
Xuanyuan Ling didn't feel that what he said was frightening, and continued calmly: "Also, you go to Fengyi Palace and tell the Queen that Concubine Fang and Concubine Li were clearly pregnant but didn't know it. This is not good for the royal heir. From now on, ask the imperial physician to check the pulse of the concubines in the harem every ten days."
At this moment, Zhao Hai was still thinking about how to ask the imperial physician to look after Shen Qing without others knowing.
After all, this matter cannot be made public. Now everyone knows that Concubine Xi cannot give birth and Concubine Fang is looking for trouble. If people really knew that the emperor wanted Concubine Xi to take good care of herself, wouldn't everyone in the harem be staring at Concubine Xi's belly?
The emperor had thought of an excuse, which showed that he had no intention of letting anyone know that he was going to treat Concubine Xi. The emperor really cared about Concubine Xi and was even thinking about having her give birth to a child.
Zhao Hai agreed, and after Xuanyuan Ling attended the morning court, he went to Fengyi Palace to convey the emperor's intention.
Although the Queen's heart skipped a beat when she heard the daily decree delivered by Zhao Hailai, she had just publicly expressed that she wanted Concubine Li's child, and the Emperor not only said that she might be pregnant with a princess and asked Concubine Li in person, but now he even asked the imperial physician to observe it.
Is this because he is afraid that she will find out that Concubine Li’s pregnancy is not right and take action?
This is to guard against her!
But what else could she do? The queen could only agree.
It can only be said that this incident happened to coincide with the time when the Queen was worrying about the baby in Concubine Li's belly, and she didn't even think that Xuanyuan Ling had other intentions than drinking.
Chen Qing had never expected that Xuanyuan Ling didn't say anything to his face, but turned around and asked Zhao Hai to do it. When the Queen heard the order, she really asked the imperial physician to come to the harem to check the pulse of each concubine.
Shen Qing also asked the imperial physician to take her pulse. This imperial physician was naturally the one who had treated her before. After she asked the imperial physician to take her pulse, the imperial physician gave her a bottle of medicine, saying that she should take it every day so that her body would get better.
Chen Qing thought again of the medicine in the porcelain bottle that Xuanyuan Ling had given her before. After all, there was a precedent of Xuanyuan Ling giving medicine. Would he ask the imperial physician to imply that she was in poor health again?
Thinking of this, Shen Qing's expression became a little unpredictable, and she said: "Chunhua, show the imperial physician the medicine that the emperor gave you before."
The imperial physician had just received an order to cure Shen Qing's fertility problem, and make sure she recovers to the point where she can have children. He felt that this was difficult, after all, it was an external injury and the contraceptives she had taken for several months had damaged her internal organs, so the probability of her having a baby was low. Originally, it would have been fine if she had recovered, as her life would not be in danger, but now the emperor emphasized that she must be able to get pregnant.
The imperial physician was unsure.
Chunhua took out the pills. The imperial physician was surprised that Concubine Xi was taking the medicine in private. But when he poured it out and sniffed it, he was shocked: "Excuse me, Concubine Xi, is this a reward from the emperor?"
Shen Qing nodded.
"This is the Yu Kun Pill, which is very beneficial to your health. You can take it every day. With this pill, you don't have to take my pill." Compared with the pill for regulating the physical condition he gave, the Yu Kun Pill is naturally better.
The imperial physician clicked his lips as he spoke. It seemed that the emperor was really determined to make Concubine Xi get better. The Yu Kun Pills were a secret medicine in the palace. They were made with the finest ingredients and were specially used for conditioning and nourishing women. However, since they were too troublesome to make, not much could be obtained even after a year of production. Now Concubine Xi had two bottles.
The imperial physician became even more worried. The emperor cared so much about Concubine Xi that he even sent her precious things like Yu Kun Pills by the bottle. If he couldn't make Concubine Xi pregnant soon, the emperor might really take his head.
And Chen Qing rarely thought wrongly after hearing what he meant. She thought to herself that Xuanyuan Ling was really implying something to her again. He refused to take the medicine and directly asked the imperial physician to come to her house, and even took her pulse once every half a month. What he meant was that she couldn't do without the medicine, right?
Shen Qing almost rolled her eyes. After sending the imperial physician away, she said to Chunhua, "Forget it, eat it. It's good for your health anyway. You remind me to eat it in the future."
Chunhua nodded in agreement.
Let's not talk about how many coincidences there were. After the morning court session, Xuanyuan Ling had breakfast. While eating, he saw a red bean and candied date cake. It tasted very delicious. He remembered that red bean and candied dates were good for women, so he said to Zhao Hai: "Send one over too."
He didn't say where to send it, but Zhao Hai immediately asked Xiao Xia Zi to go out and give instructions.
Xiao Xiazi had asked Zhao Hai to pass messages to the imperial kitchen several times, and now she asked him to send snacks to Zhaohua Palace.
Xiao Xiazi smacked her lips: "The Emperor treats Concubine Xi really..."
"Don't say anything you shouldn't say, don't use your tongue?" Zhao Hai had been able to give some advice on Shen Qing's favor before, but since the emperor intended to make Shen Qing pregnant, he couldn't make these suggestions public.
Xiao Xiazi was startled and said, "I know."
After Xuanyuan Ling ordered the cakes to be delivered, he thought about how Shen Qing loved to eat them. This might be more appealing to her than ornaments or night-shining pearls. Not knowing what she was greedy for, he curled his lips in surprise.
After finishing breakfast, he naturally dealt with government affairs. However, not long after, a servant from Shouxiang Palace came in in a panic. He was sent by Cuiyun.
Zhao Hai, who was standing outside, was puzzled when he saw him. If the Empress Dowager had nothing else to do, she would not have asked anyone to see the Emperor. Or she would have come herself. So why did she send a servant here today?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the servant say, "Manager Zhao, the Queen Mother suddenly fainted this morning and has not woken up yet."
When Zhao Hai heard this, he was shocked and hurried to report it. No matter what the relationship between mother and son was like, since it had been reported, he could not pretend not to know. Moreover, the fact that someone had been asked to report it meant that the Empress Dowager was probably not in good health.
After hearing the report, Xuanyuan Ling put down his pen and said, "Let's go to Shouxiang Palace."
When Xuanyuan Ling arrived at Shouxiang Palace, the servants all knelt on the ground. Cuiyun asked someone to report to Xuanyuan Ling and then waited outside.
Sure enough, Xuanyuan Ling asked her: "What's going on?"
Cuiyun kept it a secret last time, and the Empress Dowager woke up immediately, and the imperial physician said it could be cured. Now it seems to be nonsense.
This is the second time, so they have to report it to the Emperor. After all, if anything happens to the Empress Dowager, and they hide the fact, they, the servants, will be buried with her.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager had suffered from vertigo before. The imperial physician had been giving her acupuncture these days and she was fine. But unexpectedly, when she woke up this morning, she suddenly fainted. I was at a loss and could only report this to Your Majesty."
Xuanyuan Ling frowned: "How is the Queen Mother now?"
"The imperial physician is treating him."
Xuanyuan Ling went in after all. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the imperial physician giving acupuncture to the empress dowager. He didn't see the empress dowager very often. In his memory, the empress dowager had never been in a good mood when he paid her respects in recent years. Now she was lying on the bed with a bad complexion. He pursed his lips as he saw her.
Finally, the Queen Mother woke up faintly. She felt that half of her body could not move. She was frightened and opened her eyes wide, but saw Xuanyuan Ling looking at her. She was very frightened because half of her body could not move. Suddenly she saw Xuanyuan Ling again and cursed at him: "If it weren't for you, an unfilial son, how could I become like this!"
