The queen looked tired and lay on the rose purple brocade couch. She had just returned from the banquet. Because she couldn't stand the crowd and her chest felt tight, she left at the emperor's suggestion.
Wu Niang opened the wooden cabinet with a phoenix pattern carved on it, took out a bottle of medicated oil, put it under Queen Ye's nose, and let her smell it.
He asked carefully, "Is your wife feeling better? Do you want me to pour some for you to massage your forehead?"
Queen Ye took a deep breath and shook her head, "Your Majesty doesn't like this smell."
Wu Niang said worriedly, "The master said that if you have a headache and discomfort, it is best to get a massage to get a better effect. Smell like this, I'm afraid it will have no effect."
Is the emperor's feeling more important than his own body?
Queen Ye smiled forcefully, "I'm fine, I just need to lie down."
"Then let me go and see if the soup has been heated up."
Wu Niang was slightly blessed and retreated.
There was already a palace maid outside carrying a bowl of medium-temperature soup. When she saw Wu Niang, she walked up and handed it to her, and then whispered, "Aunt Xu just left in a hurry. She told her that if the queen comes back to rest, she will stay here first."
Hold the queen and wait for her to come back."
Wu Niang frowned. Aunt Xu was the oldest aunt in Chuxiu Palace. She was also the one who helped the queen ascend to the throne. She has always been cautious in speaking and calm in dealing with things. How could she leave such a message to the palace maid?
She ordered, "Okay, you did a good job, continue to wait outside."
Saying that, he went in with the soup.
The queen has fallen asleep
Even if I apply good rouge, I still can't hide the paleness of my thin face.
Wu Niang couldn't bear it. It was rare for the queen to fall asleep, and she didn't want to wake her up, so she stood still holding the soup, fearing that if she moved, the queen would wake up.
I don’t know how long it took
Aunt Xu hurriedly walked in and was startled when she saw the stiff Wu Niang. Then she saw the sleeping queen. Then she realized that she was too careless and smiled at Wu Niang apologetically.
The queen sighed softly and woke up slowly
After sleeping for a while, she seemed to have regained some energy, and her dull eyes also regained their sparkle.
When he found Aunt Xu kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He asked in a soft voice, "Aunt, why are you kneeling here? Get up quickly, Wu Niang, help Aunt get up."
"Yes, concubine!"
"No, no need, your Majesty, my servant is not doing things well, please punish me," Aunt Xu said with a distressed look on her face.
Queen Ye smiled slightly, "You have been with me for so many years, and you have never spared no effort in doing things. You have never failed to do anything. How can you belittle yourself this time? Besides, I have always believed in my own vision."
"Slave..."
"Well, if anything happens, let me drink the medicine first and then talk to Wu Niang..."
"Yes, concubine!"
Wu Niang quickly brought the soup and medicine over and fed her carefully and skillfully.
After finishing, she also served a small plate of sweet and sour homemade pickled products. Queen Ye picked one from the colorful delicacies and put it in her mouth, chewing it carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief after swallowing it.
, "When can I stop taking medicine..."
Wu Niang asked heartbrokenly, "Is the medicine too bitter?"
Queen Ye said disapprovingly, "I have been taking this medicine for two years, and my tongue is numb."
Then he turned his eyes leisurely and looked at Aunt Xu, who was kneeling and refused to get up, and said warmly, "Aunt, get up and talk, what happened? Your face is pale, it doesn't look like you."
