Chapter 24: Hope, Isolated and Helpless
When Lin Miaoyin rushed to the Qianqing Palace, the queen was arranging concubines to take care of her.
She followed the queen obediently.
But from time to time, his eyes would glance at the gold ring on Emperor Ming's hand, as if he was thinking about something.
The entire Imperial Hospital was helpless against Emperor Ming's symptoms. Only Dean Zhang Miaochun could cure him. However, Zhang Miaochun was away on a long trip. Although someone had been sent to notify him, it would still take seven or eight days to go back and forth.
Emperor Ming looked pale and terminally ill. It was unknown whether he could wait for Zhang Miaochun.
The queen subconsciously looked behind her.
Lin Miaoyin was staring at the emperor in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
She shook her head and called out softly, "Miaoyin, go back to Ganquan Palace and wait for me first. I'll be back soon."
Lin Miaoyin suddenly came back to her senses, "Yes, mother."
Looking at her leaving back, she frowned slightly. Now she couldn't understand her niece even more.
Is she really still Miaoyin?
"Your Majesty, the majesties and ladies from all the palaces are here." She didn't come back to her senses until she heard Aunt Xu's voice.
Emperor Ming held three beauty contests to expand his harem, but he stopped caring about it in recent years. However, the number of concubines in the harem is still considerable, with the room full of beautiful women.
Many concubines looked sad, whether they were worried about Emperor Ming or their own uncertain future, their eyes were red, as if they had cried before coming. But now in front of the queen, no matter how sad they were, they tried hard not to cry.
They really didn't expect that Emperor Ming, who was in his prime, would suddenly fall down like this.
It leaves people completely unprepared.
Everyone stood in front of the couch, not daring to look at the gray face, and all lowered their heads, waiting for the queen's arrangements.
"Princess Li, you will be the one taking care of the patient today."
"I obey your order." Concubine Li seemed reluctant, but did not dare to say anything. She bowed softly.
Relying on the original owner's memory, Lin Miaoyin remembered this Lipin.
She was a princess sent by a foreign country in the west three years ago. She had three-dimensional facial features, fair skin, and was very beautiful. Especially her bright big eyes, full of exotic charm, Emperor Ming liked her very much and gave her exclusive favor for a long time.
It was not until she went crazy for a while after her miscarriage, shouting every day that Concubine Chen killed her child, and asked Emperor Ming to avenge her child and depose Concubine Chen. Emperor Ming became extremely annoyed and she gradually fell out of favor.
She hadn't even seen Emperor Ming in the past year. Since she came from a foreign country, she couldn't speak the Central Plains language well and had no relatives or friends in Beiliang, so she was like a transparent person in the palace in the past year. She really didn't expect that the Empress would arrange for her to take care of the emperor when he was sick.
"What's the matter, Concubine Li, do you have something to hide?" The Queen also saw Concubine Li's reluctance.
Lipin was frightened by the queen's majesty, and her face turned pale. "No, no."
"That's settled then." After deciding on the person to take care of the patient, the others paid their respects and left.
When the queen returned to Ganquan Palace, Lin Miaoyin was writing something at her desk.
Seeing that she was writing seriously, a young maid asked curiously, "Princess Ning, what are you writing? I heard that Concubine Song fainted in the weaving bureau, and Prince Ning was so distressed that he hurriedly carried her back. This is Ganquan Palace, and you have the Empress to support you, so why are you letting Concubine Song ride on your head!"
When Beigong You was mentioned, Lin Miaoyin's men paused and even their faces turned three shades colder.
The slap he gave her today still hurts her.
She made a note of this for him!
The ink quickly soaked the rice paper, leaving a pool of ink. Lin Miaoyin frowned slightly and picked up the pen to continue writing.
Seeing this, the little palace maid murmured, "Did this servant say something wrong?"
Yuzhu couldn't help but glared at her, "My princess doesn't care about Prince Ning and Concubine Song at all. Don't mention Prince Ning in front of me in the future, or you'll offend my princess!"
This girl really keeps bringing up things that are not related to the topic.
Lin Miaoyin quickly wrote the prescription.
In addition to insomnia and the headaches caused by insomnia, the queen also suffered from severe rheumatism.
She had Western medicine in her medical system, but she didn't dare give it to the queen directly, for fear of causing unnecessary suspicion. Fortunately, she had often looked through Fanfan's medical records and wrote down some simple prescriptions.
She blew away the ink stain and looked up to see Nanny Xu supporting the Queen in. She quickly stood up and saluted.
Although the queen was strict, she always had a smile on her face.
So, even though she was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, and looked unattainable, when you saw the kindness on her face, you would feel a sense of intimacy in your heart and couldn't help but get close to her.
It's a wonderful feeling.
"What else to write?" asked the Queen.
Lin Miaoyin took the prescription from the table and handed it to the queen. "Aunt has been suffering from rheumatism. Whenever it rains continuously, she is always in so much pain that she can't walk. This is the prescription for treating rheumatism. Before each rainy season, let Aunt Xu boil the medicine for you to prevent it."
"Is this also the prescription of your miraculous doctor friend?"
Lin Miaoyin nodded, "I hope it can alleviate my aunt's pain."
"You are thoughtful, kid."
The queen patted Lin Miaoyin's hand, then signaled her attendants to leave. When they were the only two left in the palace, she looked at Lin Miaoyin seriously, "Miaoyin, you brought medicine to me, and you distanced yourself from Prince Ning. Are you hiding something from me?"
"I did too many stupid things before and failed my aunt's love for me. After Prince Ning took a concubine, I understood many things and saw through many people. I also understood my aunt's kindness to me, so I want to make up for the mistakes I made in the past."
After hearing her clear and logical words, the queen had the answer in her mind and did not ask any more questions.
"It's a good thing that you can figure out the matter of Prince Ning, but your aunt has only one request of you, to get pregnant with Prince Ning's child."
Lin Miaoyin paused.
It soon became clear that the queen was an abandoned child of the Chen family and was not favored by the emperor, so her position as queen was already in jeopardy.
In this huge palace, she has no children, and her only adopted son is not close to her.
It can be said that we are isolated and helpless.
If she doesn't hold on to something, how will she live the rest of her life?
Therefore, she married the original owner to King Ning not only to fulfill the original owner's wish, but more importantly to give herself hope.
This hope is the child she and Beigong You have.
But she is not the original owner.
She didn't want to bear the queen's hopes for the rest of her life, and she didn't want to get involved in the fight for the throne in the Beiliang royal family.
She just wanted to find a meal as soon as possible.
Seeing her like this, the queen sighed softly, "You have seen my aunt's situation. If you don't want to be like her, then consider what she said carefully."
Lin Miaoyin nodded, but she could only let the queen down.
She won't stay in Shengjing for long.
"Have dinner here for a while, and then go to sleep. You still have to go to the Qing Palace to attend to the sick tonight, so you must take good care of yourself."
Lin Miaoyin narrowed her eyes slightly.
She had important things to do tonight and needed to get enough rest.
