In Zhongshen Palace, Chu Mingcui only waited for the imperial doctor to arrive.
The imperial doctor examined the queen's pulse and said that the queen's liver qi was stagnation and that the problem was not serious, so he prescribed medicine and left.
After the imperial doctor left, he heard someone outside announcing: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Chu Mingcui stood up. Now more than half an hour has passed before the emperor came over. Is this meal probably finished?
Emperor Ming Yuan entered the palace, Chu Mingcui quickly saluted, "See you, father!"
Emperor Ming Yuan glanced at her and said: "Princess Qi is here too? She is really filial."
"What a daughter-in-law should do." Chu Mingcui said with a smile.
Empress Chu stood up and said sickly: "Why is the emperor still here? My concubine is fine."
Emperor Ming Yuan sat in front of the bed and looked at the queen's face, "Didn't you order someone to invite me?"
Queen Chu was a little embarrassed and looked at Chu Mingcui.
Chu Mingcui said quickly: "Father, the daughter-in-law ordered someone to invite her. The daughter-in-law fainted when she saw her mother. She was in a panic, and the prince was not around..."
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "You have always had an idea, why do you have no idea today?"
Chu Mingcui's heart skipped a beat, why did the emperor seem to have a hidden thorn in his words?
Yuan Qingling must have said bad things about her in front of the emperor.
Seeing that Emperor Ming Yuan was still staring at her, she said sarcastically: "My daughter-in-law is also worried about her mother."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the queen, "What did the imperial doctor say?"
The queen said softly: "The imperial doctor said that loss of both qi and blood, coupled with stagnation of liver qi, will cause you to feel dizzy for a while. If you rest for a while, you will be fine."
Emperor Ming Yuan pressed the corner of the quilt for her and said gently: "Well, then you can rest and recuperate. As for the Supreme Emperor, you don't have to run around."
The queen was startled and said quickly: "I am fine with you."
"I know you have filial piety," Emperor Ming Yuan smiled, his eyes very soft, and then looked at Chu Mingcui, "Princess Qi should take good care of the queen, and it will be enough for the Emperor to have Princess Chu to take care of her."
Chu Mingcui's face turned pale at that moment. The emperor's words clearly meant that she was not allowed to approach the Supreme Emperor again.
It’s enough for the Princess of Chu to serve the sick? When did the Princess of Chu become so important?
The queen said: "Princess Chu's intentions are unknown. The emperor cannot allow her to return to the Qiankun Palace to serve the sick. She has committed a serious crime by treating the Supreme Emperor privately. The Emperor pities King Chu and cannot bear to punish him, but she must do it for the Supreme Emperor."
Think about your body.”
Chu Mingcui also said: "Father, I think what the mother said is right. The emperor's health is very important. How can we let Princess Chu use some unknown folk remedies to treat her? How can we show the dignity of the imperial doctor?"
Emperor Ming Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Chu Mingcui, "I think you might as well try some folk remedies. After all, the improvement of the Emperor's condition is all thanks to Princess Chu's folk remedies."
Emperor Ming Yuan was always serious, but now he spoke to Chu Mingcui so gently, but Chu Mingcui felt panicked for no reason. Her reason told her not to talk anymore, but she was still unwilling to do so, and said: "Father, the investigation into the poisoning of the Supreme Emperor has been clear, isn't it?
What did Princess Chu do?"
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the queen and said calmly: "I have ordered that the Emperor's poisoning be kept secret. Why does Princess Qi know about it?"
The queen said: "I told her this. It's a very important matter. I'll discuss it with Cui'er. Does the emperor think it's okay?"
She had complained in her heart that the emperor and Yuan Qingling were dining alone, but now that the emperor came over and didn't care about her body, but kept praising Yuan Qingling, she couldn't help but feel angry.
"Discuss?" Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes grew colder, "When will the Emperor's affairs also have to be discussed privately by the Queen and Princess Qi? It seems that there are many capable people in Zhongshen Palace."
The queen's eyes were red, "What does the emperor mean by this? Are you dissing me and Cui'er for being nosy? I have been in charge of the Sixth Palace for many years and have worked tirelessly. I have become accustomed to working hard in everything in the palace. Since the emperor fell ill,
, I am so worried that I have no master. Princess Qi is smart and lovely. Why shouldn’t I discuss everything with Princess Qi? However, the emperor’s fault in not dealing with Princess Chu is unpunished. With the emperor in front of me, what will happen to my concubine in the future?
Rule the Sixth Palace? Aren’t the prestige of the emperor and the royal family completely gone?”
