That day, Shen Huan fell ill. Xichen sent someone to invite the imperial doctor, but he did not come to visit in person. After seeing it, the imperial doctor Jiang said that Shen Huan was just depressed and had no serious illness. He just needed to relax and relax.
Depression in the heart means heart disease. As the saying goes, heart disease requires heart medicine. However, this heart medicine may not be so easy to get. It seems that we can only take the medicine first.
Cui Shanggong sighed and said to Chun'er: "When your Majesty gets better, let Qingyue bring His Highness over. Seeing His Highness, Your Majesty's illness may be cured faster."
Chun'er pouted and agreed, but kept complaining: "If it hadn't been for that concubine, my empress wouldn't be so sick!"
She just said this tonight, and the next morning, Ruobi came over to say hello.
Cui Shanggong smiled and said to the frightened girl: "Mistress Ruobi came very early. The Queen is ill, so I'm afraid she won't be able to see Mistress Ruobi."
Ruo concubine said hurriedly: "I just came to pay my respects to the empress. I also knew that the empress was ill. I didn't mean to disturb you. It's just that yesterday... yesterday was all my fault. I was blind and didn't know the beauty of my empress." I really deserve to die for my crime."
Cui Shanggong was stunned. Why is this Ruo concubine so worried? Is she really afraid that the queen will punish her? But the queen is already ill, why is she worried? Cui Shanggong coughed lightly and smiled again: "If I really don’t need to worry about my concubine. The empress already said yesterday that the mistress was unintentional and didn’t know her true identity, so I won’t blame the concubine.”
"Really? Really?" Ruobin raised her head and looked at Cui Shanggong timidly.
Cui Shanggong nodded helplessly, and Ruobin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought the Queen was ill because of me. I feel relieved knowing that the Queen does not blame me."
Chun'er just walked out of the inner room and happened to hear this sentence. She was immediately furious. She rushed out and cursed: "If you don't blame you, who should blame you! If it weren't for you, our queen wouldn't be so angry!" It's you who relies on the emperor's favor and doesn't take the empress seriously!"
Ruobin looked at her in surprise. Cui Shanggong glared at Chun'er and shouted in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about! Why don't you go get the medicine quickly!"
Chun'er pouted, glared at Ruo Bin, and walked out angrily.
Cui Shanggong said to Ruo Bin who was frightened out of his mind: "My lord, don't be surprised. Your Majesty is sick, so we are naturally very worried, so we just..."
Ruobin hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No, no, I know...it's actually all my fault..." She lowered her head, as if she was about to cry at any time.
Cui Shanggong sighed secretly and said to her maid: "Send Ruo concubine back first." Then she stayed here. She walked out like a pear blossom with rain in her eyes, as if she had suffered a severe pain in the palace. It seems like a huge grievance! It will be even more unclear when the time comes!
Ruo Bi was helped out, and Xiang Ming stepped forward and asked: "Shang Gong, do you think this Ruo Bi's young master is really so innocent, or is he just being mysterious?"
Cui Shanggong frowned and pondered for a long time, then said: "I can't see it. To say that she is innocent, there has never been an innocent person in this palace. If you say that she is not true, it will make people unable to grasp the doubts." After thinking for a while, he added: "That girl Chun'er just now is really desperate. She is just a palace maid, but Ruo concubine is the emperor's new favorite. If Ruo concubine really wants to take revenge, Chun'er is afraid that her life will be lost!" "
"If it's not guaranteed, it's not guaranteed. I just can't stand her way of acting like a good girl even though she's getting an advantage!" Chun'er said angrily, holding the medicine in her hand.
Cui Shanggong looked at her and said slowly: "Then you know, if you did that to Ruo Bin, if Ruo Bin goes back and tells the emperor, the emperor will only blame the empress. If you think it was the empress who ordered you, you will be in big trouble!"
Chun'er was stunned, Xiang Ming sighed: "That's it, you have this temper. Just say a few words less in the future and give the medicine to the queen to drink. Don't tell the queen what happened just now, so as not to cause more symptoms."
Chun'er said with red eyes: "Yes"
Xiangming then said to Cui Shanggong: "If the concubine is really a scheming person, this matter will definitely not be hidden from the emperor, and the emperor will probably think that the empress did it deliberately."
Cui Shanggong nodded and said: "Then, just watch Shen Mengxuan's movements carefully!"
Xiangming also nodded: "Exactly"
In the evening, Xichen went to Shen Mengxuan as usual, but he saw Ruobi crying in front of the mirror. He hurriedly asked the little palace maid beside him, who hesitated to speak. Finally, under Xichen's questioning, he told Ruobi what happened today.
I went to pay my respects to the queen, but was scolded by the maid next to the queen.
If the concubine told the palace maid to shut up, she sobbed and said, "It's my concubine's fault. I offended the queen. I'll be fine with a lesson or two from the people around her."
Xichen frowned slightly and said coldly: "You are a palace concubine and she is a palace maid. What qualifications do you have to teach you a lesson? I will send someone to send her to apologize to you."
Ruo concubine hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please don't! The empress is still ill. If the news comes to people around her, I'm afraid they will be worried. It's okay if Ruo'er is a little wronged. As long as the empress no longer blames Ruo'er, the illness will be cured."
Once you get better, Ruo'er won't be afraid of anything."
Xichen helped her up and gently touched her hair. Ruobin leaned softly in his arms. But like this, Xichen felt that there seemed to be something different. Ruobin's behavior was very understanding, but
...But he was not relieved or happy at all. Instead, he felt that something was missing. He couldn't explain clearly. This feeling was just that, would every woman who entered the palace become like this?
Xichen did not stay here tonight. As soon as he left, Ruobi became disappointed and said to the palace maid: "Don't you mean that the emperor will definitely favor me more? Why did the emperor leave instead?
?”
The palace maid replied: "The emperor must have gone to the Chen Palace to punish the palace maid! The emperor must feel that my master, you are noble, generous and considerate, and he will look at you with admiration."
Ruobin immediately became happy and said, "Is what you said true?"
The palace maid smiled and said: "Of course, the emperor will naturally like your Majesty's advancement and retreat."
Ruo concubine was happy to hear this, and then rewarded her with a jade bracelet. She didn't mention that the emperor was not staying here, and happily went to wash and sleep.
Xichen walked around outside, and unknowingly, he came to the gate of Chen Palace again. The cold moon hung like a hook in the sky, and the night was clearly silent. He stood with his hands behind his hands, and saw that Chen Palace under the waning moon was like a huge
Since the usage has been reduced by half, the lighting in the palace has also dimmed. In the past, this palace was as bright as day.
"Is the queen's illness not serious?" Xichen asked Xiao Shizi
Xiao Shizi hurriedly said: "Chief Doctor Jiang said it's nothing, it's just depression in my heart." But he cursed in his heart: You always care about your empress so much, just go in and take a look, maybe she will be fine after taking a look!
Xichen looked at it quietly for a long time, but did not go in or say anything else. She turned around and left.
Xiao Shizi sighed deeply in his heart and followed him away.
