"Physician Zhou wants to examine the whole body of the sixth elder brother. He has to take off his clothes and check here... Although we are not outsiders, aren't we afraid that the sixth elder brother will catch cold from the wind?"
Mrs. Liu looked tense and said quickly: "Why do you need to take off your clothes?"
Ling Ruo glanced at her and said, "Is it because I didn't explain it clearly or because I didn't hear clearly? Doctor Zhou wants to examine Brother Sixth's whole body. How can he do it without taking off his clothes?"
"No!" Mrs. Liu reacted even more excitedly than before. She snatched Hongzhan from the arms of Imperial Physician Zhou, held her tightly in her arms and said, "The imperial physician's treatment is nothing more than looking, hearing, asking, and asking. I have never heard of him having to remove all his clothes for inspection."
All in all, unless the empress can give me a reasonable explanation, I will never agree!"
"I suspect that the reason why Brother Six fell into coma was not because he fell, but because someone used other means. Brother Six said before that he had pain from mosquito bites on his back, which is the best proof.
.”
Ms. Liu tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart, shook her head and said: "This is no reason at all. In the final analysis, the empress still wants to protect the Qi Jia family. In this case, it's okay not to investigate!"
"Does Concubine Qian feel that I am being honest, or is she afraid that Dr. Zhou will find something on Brother Six, so she obstructs her like this?"
"I have a clear conscience, why should I be afraid? I just don't want to be treated like a monkey by the imperial concubine again and again. I and Hong Zhan are humans, not monkeys!" She hugged Hong Zhan tightly, with such force that Hong Zhan felt
He felt very uncomfortable as if he was trapped by something, but his fear of Mr. Liu made him dare not speak out, so he was forced to endure it.
"If Concubine Qian really has a clear conscience, she should have Dr. Zhou examine her carefully." With that said, she walked up to Mr. Liu, stretched out her hand and said, "Give the sixth elder brother to me."
"No!" Mrs. Liu flatly refused without even a trace of hesitation, "If the empress really wants to imprison me and the others here, I can't do anything about it, but I believe that the empress can't be imprisoned like this forever!"
Ling Ruo nodded, but she didn't believe Mrs. Liu. On the contrary, Mrs. Liu's words and actions made her even more suspicious. At this moment, she was almost 100% sure that there was something weird about Hong Zhan, otherwise Liu would not be like this.
She was nervous, but it was very difficult for Ms. Liu to hold Hongzhan and not let go. As Ms. Liu said, she couldn't stay imprisoned forever. She had to let them go after all, and she couldn't snatch Hongzhan directly.
, what should we do?
At this time, Sanfu, who had been standing quietly at the back, walked up and said behind Ling Ruo: "Master, after a hard day's work, you and Concubine Qian must be tired. You'd better go inside and sit for a while. I'll leave the kitchen for you."
Let’s make some snacks for you and the other masters.”
Sanfu has never been a talkative person, especially after following Ling Ruo, he rarely spoke actively except when Ling Ruo asked him, so he suddenly said such a long string of words, which made Ling Ruo very strange, but she believed it
There must be a reason for Sanfu to say this. All he needs to do is believe in him.
After Ling Ruo and others returned to the hall and sat down, Sanfu and Yang Hai went down together. Until they brought snacks, no one in the hall said a word, and the atmosphere was unusually solemn.
Sanfu placed a plate of mung bean cake in Mrs. Liu's hand and said with a smile: "Mother, please try this mung bean cake. It has just been steamed, and before steaming, all the mung beans were crushed and screened three times. It is tender and delicious, without any
It feels grainy." When he spoke, his left hand was always behind his back.
After hearing what he said, Mrs. Liu was really hungry. She hadn't eaten anything since the morning, and her stomach was empty. Coupled with the aroma coming towards her, she felt even hungrier. After hesitating for a while, He stretched out his hand and picked up a piece from the plate. Although it was still mung bean cake, the one made here was obviously more delicate than the one in the imperial kitchen. After three screenings and three selections, Sanfu really didn't lie.
Seeing that everyone else was using pastries, Hongzhan swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Mom, I'm also hungry and want to eat mung bean cake."
Before Liu could speak, Sanfu had already said: "Sixth brother, the mung bean cake is not suitable for you because of its cold nature, but I have prepared another thing for you, which is guaranteed to be good-looking and delicious." Zai Hongzhan looked at him strangely. In the middle, he stretched out his hand behind his back, and saw that he was holding a bamboo stick in his hand, and on the other end of the bamboo stick, there was a tiger made of sugar, which was vivid and lifelike. You can even see the domineering power of the King of Beasts.
"Is this the candy blower that the empress talked about?" This was the first time Hongzhan saw such a person, and he was very happy. After Ling Ruo nodded, he wanted to take it, but he didn't dare to reach out, but timidly Looking at Mrs. Liu, "Mother, I want this tiger, is that okay?"
"If you like it, just take it." After receiving Mrs. Liu's consent, Hongzhan happily took the candy tiger from Sanfu, held it in his hand and looked at it, reluctant to eat it.
The rain was pouring down, without stopping at all, and the sky was gradually darkening in the rain, and some palace people held lamps outside.
"Your Majesty, how long do you want me to stay here? Do you want me to spend the night here?" Ms. Liu said sarcastically. She had been feeling a little uncomfortable in her stomach since just now, which made her even more uncomfortable. Want to stay.
Until this moment, Ling Ruo didn't know what Sanfu was planning, but she was not one to be impatient. She said calmly: "It's still early, so there's no need to go back in a hurry. I asked the kitchen to prepare more." I, my concubine, and Yan Guiren, promised to accompany me to have dinner before leaving. Speaking of which, except for the New Year's Eve banquet, we have never sat down to have a meal together. Now it is a rare occasion. opportunity.”
After Qi Jia and others responded, Liu said: "If the empress finds it boring to eat alone, I am willing to accompany you at any time, but at this moment, I really am not in the mood, and Hongzhan also needs..." Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a cramping pain much more severe than before, which made her speechless for a moment.
Ling Ruo looked at something wrong and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Concubine Qian?"
After waiting for the severe pain to subside, Mrs. Liu raised her voice again and said, "I'm fine, my concubine."
Before she finished speaking, severe pain hit her again, and this time it was more severe than before. The pain was so painful that she couldn't help but cover her abdomen and bend over. Her face suddenly turned extremely pale. Jin Gu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, eagerly Authentic: "Master, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
"I don't know why, but my abdomen suddenly hurts, as if a knife was being pinched inside!" It was just one sentence, but Mrs. Liu paused several times before finishing it.
Jin Gu said in a panic: "What... what's going on? I was fine just now." When she said this, she didn't know what she thought of. She raised her head and said: "Mr. Zhou, please check for the master, why is it that I have abdominal pain?"
