"The food left at the door has not been touched. It was still there in the morning..."
"And the door, it feels like it hasn't been opened all night."
"Then she might have died inside, bitch!"
[...They are all spreading random messages, saying that the host will starve himself to death.] The system carefully passed the conversation of the palace maids to Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang only paused when he was pointed at, and then continued to put on his makeup.
"Sometimes I take the initiative to take the initiative in my own hands and avoid being led by others."
After Jiang Tang said this, her makeup was basically completed.
After taking a careful look in the mirror to make sure there was nothing wrong, she put away the redeemed cosmetics.
"Okay, just watch the opportunity and act."
As soon as she finished saying this, she fell down on the bed, and half of her long black hair fell on the edge of the bed, pouring down. After two years of losing color, her already slender face became more and more pitiful, which was shocking to see.
.
Pearl was bending down to replace the untouched food on the floor with new ones, when she suddenly heard a "bump" in the room, as if something fell.
She was startled, and thinking of her grandma's instructions, she spoke nervously: "What's wrong? What happened?"
She called several times, but it was quiet inside, with no response at all. Not to mention, she became even more panicked.
"Are you OK?"
She mustered up the courage to knock on the door.
"Bang - squeak"
Unexpectedly, I just knocked and the door opened by itself.
Zhu'er was stunned for a moment, and then explained nervously: "I didn't mean it, as soon as I touched this door..."
Her voice stopped suddenly because she caught sight of the girl who was half-lidded on the bed, as if she was about to fall to the ground.
[The host is her. She was the one who brought you food yesterday. She looked very timid. 】
While the system was muttering, Zhuer also mustered up the courage to walk towards the "sleeping" Jiang Tang.
"Are you okay?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to help the girl's arm that was about to fall outside. Then her face changed and she reached out to touch Jiang Tang's forehead without caring about anything else.
"Hot, so hot!"
The girl in front of her was hot all over. She was sleeping in such an outrageous and unreasonable posture, but she didn't react at all, as if she had fainted.
"Wait for me, I'll go and notify Grandma Nian right away!"
As the little palace maid spoke, she turned around and stumbled away. She almost tripped when she left the door, as if she was severely frightened by Jiang Tang's condition.
"Mom, mama, it's not good, that Haitang seemed to have a high fever yesterday, the fever was very serious..."
Cui He was "listening" to Grandma Nian's lessons. She felt weak. She was almost overjoyed when she suddenly heard such good news!
Something happened? You deserve it!
"You are not mistaken, are you? That woman has no work at all, so she pretends to be sick? Does she think she is the queen of the palace? She is so scheming1"
She was a little happy while pulling and trampling Jiang Tang. The palace had distinct hierarchies, and Leng Kong was at the bottom of the food chain.
If you don’t work here, you won’t have food to eat. If you work late and you are late, you may not have food to eat.
Being sick is an extremely luxurious thing. Although the woman yesterday was beautiful, she died early due to poor health!
Cui He was thinking happily when he saw Nian Nian running out in a hurry. Looking at her nervous look, she thought that the woman was some serious mistress!
This thought had crossed his mind, and Cui He didn't know what he thought, but when he realized it, he had already followed him.
"What are you doing here?" Nian Nian looked at Cui He in surprise.
"I, I just came to see how she was doing."
This answer didn't satisfy Grandma Nian that much, but considering that Jiang Tang might have to run errands because of unknown circumstances, Grandma Nian didn't say anything in the end.
"It's right inside. You can see it as soon as you enter."
Following Pearl's nervous voice, the three people entered the room in order.
"It's so cool."
Cui He didn't know what "air conditioning" meant yet, but she simply felt that the room was much cooler than the outside as soon as she stepped in. She felt so comfortable that she didn't want to leave.
“It’s really hot,”
Mother Nian can be responsible for the cold palace, so she is capable and capable, otherwise she would not be able to control the maids and eunuchs in the cold palace.
After confirming that Jiang Tang really had a fever, her face turned ugly.
This girl got sick at the wrong time.
Thinking like this, when her eyes swept over the girl's beautiful face, she was stunned again.
She is so beautiful, even though she has a fever, her lips are still red, like a sleeping beauty.
"Bring some water in and cool her down first. Then go find..."
Mother Nian asked for a meal out, and came up with a temporary idea: "Forget it, I'll go there myself."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Pearl hurriedly picked up the water basin on the ground and went out to fetch water from the well.
Cui He, who was touching Jiang Tang's quilt, raised his head when he heard this: "Why should we take care of her?"
Isn’t the rule of the cold palace that if you die, you will die?
When will you have to take care of others again?
Turbul is still a bitch.
Cui He glared at Jiang Tang: "And grandma, look at this quilt, it looks like someone has replaced it with a new one..."
"Shut up, you!"
Nian Nian was anxious to death, fearing that something would happen to Jiang Tang and she would be buried with him.
Although Jiang Tang’s identity is not yet known, this amazing face and the person who mentioned it are...
"You do what you are told. If she loses a hair when I come back, it will be easier for you than you!"
After saying this, no matter how shocked Cui was, Grandma Nian walked out without daring to hear her footsteps. She was running very fast for her age, but those who didn't know thought she would be too late to be reincarnated.
[This old woman is so nervous, there must be something wrong!] The system played second fiddle to Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang ignored him and just let him go along.
"Sister Cuihe, please help me pull the table over, and I'll apply cold water on her."
Pearl was obedient and honest. As soon as Nian left, she came in carrying a basin with her back legs.
"Are you really so obedient?" Cuihe was still angry at first, but after seeing Zhuer's look clearly, he became shocked.
"Of course, isn't this what Mother Nian ordered?" Zhuer said honestly: "Then if you don't want to help, just stand on the side. I can do it myself..."
"I'll help you,"
A flash of anger flashed in Cui He's eyes, and her face was burning with pain. Seeing Zhu'er acting like this, she hated her even more.
Regardless of Pearl's refusal, he snatched the basin from her hand, and then "accidentally" "crash——"
Half the basin of water fell to the ground.
A lot of it splashed on Jiang Tang's face, clothes, and hair. It's hard to believe that she didn't do it on purpose.
But even so, the "sleeping" girl showed no signs of waking up.
Zhu'er was stunned for a moment, and her voice suddenly rose: "What are you doing!"
"What are you calling? I didn't mean it!" Cuihe was even more fierce than her.
"It's just a little water, it will dry up in a while! If you are not happy, just go and hit it again!"
"You, you are going too far!" Pearl almost cried because of her anger.
Jiang Tang looked at this scene coldly in the space, his eyes even colder: "Raise 'my' body temperature a little higher."
Some people have been rampant for too long and want a little "little punishment".
-
"How is it? Is she awake?"
Nian Nian trotted in, unexpectedly holding a bowl of medicine in her hand. I don't know where she got it.
"Mom, mama,"
As a result, who would have expected that as soon as she came in, she would see Pearl looking like she was about to cry.
For some reason, her heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"
"She, she has a high fever, her body temperature seems to be higher, her body is feeling hot..."
Cui He stood by with a blank expression, cursing Nian and Zhu'er for being troublesome, when she heard Zhu'er's next words: "Sister Cui He just poured water on her, and then her body temperature dropped."
It’s been promoted…”
Cui'er's eyes suddenly widened: "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't mean it. I just saw that her temperature was too high and wanted to cool her down. I just missed it. I didn't mean it..."
Before she could finish saying "meaning", she was pulled to the side.
Aunt Nian anxiously moved forward to touch Jiang Tang, but she heard Zhu'er's voice about to cry: "Mom, touch her wrist..."
Grandma Nian felt even more uneasy, so she did as she was told, and then froze.
Cui He on the side is still unconvinced. Isn't this the case in the cold palace?
Even the concubines who once doted on the Sixth Palace came here, and no one cared about it. This little palace maid would die as soon as she died. Wasn't it the same in the past?
Why does Grandma Nian look a little strange...
"Snapped--"
There was another crisp slap in the face. This time Nian Nian put on a fierce expression and glared at Cui He:
"Just pray that she is okay! If something happens to her, you won't be able to live!"
It was a mess outside, and the system whispered: [Host, can you find out the person behind the scenes by doing this? 】
"It should be possible."
Jiang Tang replied nonchalantly. Rather than wanting to know who was behind the scenes, she more importantly wanted to know where the other party's bottom line was and how he planned to "deal with" herself.
No matter what, the more actions you take, the more flaws you will have.
"She, will she be okay?"
Cuihe realized later that he was panicking, and the hand holding Zhuer was trembling.
"I don't know," Zhuer's expression was a little cold, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, and she pulled her sleeves back from her hand with all her strength.
[The male protagonist knows that he will not let them go! Humph, you little bitch! 】
The system spoke in the tone of a Gong Dou villain, which made people a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Tang kept looking at "himself" on the bed, with a cold face and a distant and indifferent expression.
The system gradually realized something was wrong: [Host, what’s wrong?]
Jiang Tang: "It's nothing. Don't say anything nice for him, I feel annoyed."
System:【Um.】
-
"Go back to father-in-law, she, she..."
"She what?"
Eunuch Zhao flicked his fly whisk, and looked at Aunt Nian, who was shivering like a mouse, and his brows almost knitted together.
Didn’t you say this can be done?
What is this!
Like a mouse.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard the timid Nian give him a bolt from the blue:
"The woman you sent to take care of last night, she, she has no pulse."
"What?"
Eunuch Zhao felt that his eyes were popping out of his head: "Tell me again, what happened to her?"
Seeing his reaction, Grandma Nian once again confirmed that Jiang Tang's identity was unusual, so she could only continue speaking:
"She woke up in the morning and said she wasn't feeling well, so she went to sleep in the room. I didn't bother her, so I just let her sleep. But in the afternoon, she suddenly developed a high fever. Her whole body was as hot as a stove... Just now, it was...
I don’t know if I don’t have a pulse in the middle of the night…”
Eunuch Zhao's expression also changed: "How could this happen?"
How could Aunt Nian dare to say that it was Cui He's "credit"? After all, she was the one working under her, and she was also responsible for her mistakes.
Fortunately, Eunuch Zhao didn't ask too many questions. He just said "wait" and hurried into the palace.
As he walked, he said: "I almost forgot that this master is delicate and frail. I don't know how many precious tonics I have used to keep him healthy. It's just..."
Mother Nian, who was sweating profusely and staying outside the palace, vaguely heard the word "Your Majesty" and shivered all over.
The uneasy feeling before has become stronger...
-
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, something happened to that person."
Emperor Huaiwen paused in lifting his pen and raised his head. Over the course of the night, he seemed much older.
"Which one?"
"Uh..." Eunuch Zhao froze, then told Jiang Tang's story, and finally added:
"It sounds very serious. If I don't tell the imperial doctor, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today..."
If he is really dead, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the prince to explain.
Although the rest of the words were not finished, Emperor Huaiwen understood them.
Just hearing Eunuch Zhao say this, what he thought of was the young man's determined and indifferent eyes that night.
"Cough, cough, cough,"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Eunuch Zhao was shocked. Although he asked the woman to be a doctor, it was not to make the emperor worry.
"Go to the imperial doctor..." Emperor Huaiwen waved his hand away: "Don't let her die."
With one sentence, Eunuch Zhao stopped all the rest of his words: "Yes, this slave is going to make arrangements."
Eunuch Zhao called a young eunuch to recruit people at the imperial hospital. He hesitated and then added...
Emperor Huaiwen, who was sitting behind the dragon table, was still coughing lightly, but what he was thinking was:
Could it be that he is not acting?
If so...how can you be willing to leave people behind?
For the first time, Emperor Huaiwen found that he was not sure what his son was thinking...
-
"Follow me, just inside.
Dr. Gao followed Granny Nian with a medical box on his back. When he arrived at Leng Palace, she was still a little confused.
Just now, the eunuch from the Yangxin Palace went to the imperial hospital to check the emperor's pulse. He was sorting out ancient books, but he was quietly called out, saying that someone was looking for him outside.
Then when I searched, I found this place...
Leng Gong...
This was his first time here, and he was confused and curious at the same time. Who was sick and chose him with such "discernment"?
However, all these curiosity and doubts turned into fright when I saw the person lying on the bed clearly——
Tang...Tang's side concubine?
Didn't it say that she went to rest in the mountains? Why is she here?
Gao Yuyi couldn't help but stopped in his footsteps, and looked back at the withered courtyard behind him...
Suddenly, he realized that he might be involved in something terrible...
