"The imperial physician of the Song Dynasty was highly skilled in medicine. I was able to conceive Chang Le thanks to his careful care of my body. As the saying goes, every kindness you receive from others should be repaid with springs. Over the years, I have always thought about this matter.
I feel uneasy, so I beg the emperor to show mercy." As she said this, she was about to kneel down, but before her knees even touched the ground, she was stopped by someone.
Hongli was silent for a while and then said: "For Song Zihua's crime, I shouldn't have spared him. For the sake of your personal intercession for him, I will pardon him and let him return to the Imperial Hospital. I hope he can
Be careful in the future and don’t make the same mistake again.”
Hongli's previous silence made Xianyue think that he would refuse. Unexpectedly, he actually agreed to his request and quickly bowed and said: "I thank the emperor for his kindness on behalf of the imperial physician of the Song Dynasty."
Hongli smiled and said: "The person he wants to thank is you. If you hadn't asked, I would never have spared him. Tomorrow I will send a message to summon him back to the capital."
Hongli stayed in Yanxi Palace until noon before leaving. During this time, the news that Xianyue was about to be canonized as empress spread quickly throughout the harem as if it had grown wings.
Huang and Xia Qing were the first to arrive at the Yanxi Palace. After finding out that the news was true, Huang shed tears excitedly and choked up: "My dear, you finally managed to see the moonlight after the clouds cleared. You were banned during that period."
I don't know how worried I am and how worried I am these days."
Although Xia Qing never shed tears, her eyes were red and she said: "Isn't it true? I and others thought that the emperor was fascinated by Concubine Rong, and even you had forgotten about it. Fortunately, it was all false.
Yes, you have done a good job of hiding it from the Emperor, and not even a trace of it was revealed."
Zhichun interjected: "Not only the empress and you, but also the slaves and Qi Kuan know nothing about this. It's so hard for the master to hide it."
Xianyue smiled and said: "I originally wanted to tell you, but I was afraid that after I said it, Concubine Rong would see the clues in your words and deeds, which would ruin the matter. So after thinking about it for a while, I finally decided not to say it.
It is also a last resort, I hope that Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui will not take offense."
Huang nodded and said, "I understand your difficulties. Now that Mr. Li has taken the initiative to propose that the emperor appoint you as his queen, everyone is finally happy. Your Majesty, you have not suffered all these hardships in vain." With that said, she and Xia Qing stood up to Xianyue.
They bowed solemnly and said in unison: "Concubines, congratulations to the Queen, she may live a thousand years!"
Xianyue quickly stood up and helped the two of them up, "The Emperor has not yet issued the decree, let alone performed the canonization ceremony. I cannot bear to be called 'Queen', but I do have a happy event to tell you."
"A happy event?" Huang asked curiously, "What other happy event is there?"
"The emperor has promised to pardon the imperial doctor of Song Dynasty and let him return to the imperial hospital." Hearing Xianyue's words, both Huang and Xia Qing showed a hint of joy. In the palace, if there is no trustworthy imperial physician, they will not be able to do anything.
It is inevitable that there will be some inconveniences. Zhou Minghua is prudent in his actions and is a decent person. However, he is Ling Ruo's confidant and is destined not to rely on any of them.
Huang said happily: "With him helping the empress in the future, the empress will be more secure in the palace."
"If you want to be truly safe, you must first get rid of two people." The person who said this was Mrs. Hu who walked in slowly. After walking into the hall, she bowed to Xianyue and saluted: "I congratulate you on your upcoming canonization.
For the future, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
"Without ceremony." After signaling Hu to take a seat, Xiayue said, "Concubine Ying refers to Concubine Shu and Guiren Wei?"
Mrs. Hu followed the words and said: "Yes, these two people will never give up. They will definitely do everything possible to deal with the empress. Maybe in terms of the current situation, they are not of much importance, but they are always a disaster with their wolfish ambitions.
Especially Wei Jingxuan!"
Huang frowned and said, "But these two are cautious people, otherwise they would not have been safe for so many years. It is not easy to deal with them."
Xianyue nodded slightly and said, "Concubine Ying said so, but has she already got any good plans?"
Mrs. Hu smiled slightly and said, "I can't say it's a good plan, but I did think of a way." Under everyone's curious eyes, she said: "I learned that since the Empress took the Wei family to the capital, they have
He never left again and settled down in Beijing, but his family had no income. Although Wei Jingxuan would send little Yuanzi around her from time to time to send some money there, they still lived in poverty."
Xia Qing asked doubtfully: "What does this have to do with dealing with Wei Jingxuan?"
Mrs. Hu raised her eyebrows and said, "Hui Bin, what do you think people who live in poverty want most?"
Xia Qing said without hesitation: "Of course it's silver."
"Yes, it's just money. Judging from the Wei family's behavior in staying in Beijing, they are not people willing to be mediocre and do nothing. They even... desperately want to become a master, but they just suffer from no chance." At this point.
, Mrs. Hu said to Xianyue: "My dear, Wei Jingxuan is shrewd and cautious, which makes it difficult for us to find opportunities, but her family members cannot all be as shrewd as her, so it is most appropriate to start with her family members, and... greedy
Once triggered, it will be out of control.”
Mrs. Huang said: "Concubine Ying wants to lead Wei Jingxuan's family into trouble?"
"Yes, they stay in the capital just because they are thinking about Wei Jingxuan's status as a noble, to get benefits and to get ahead. As long as we do what they want, we can definitely lure them into taking the bait. As long as they commit a crime, Wei Jingxuan's life in front of the emperor will naturally be ruined.
It won't be easy.
"Speaking of this, Mrs. Hu sneered and said: "Wei Jingxuan has a low status and no heirs, and her family background is extremely poor. The reason why she has been able to have a place in the palace in the past few years is because the emperor is somewhat fond of her.
As long as she loses this grace, she is nothing."
Xianyue thought for a moment and said: "What you said makes sense, but I don't have anyone outside the palace. If Concubine Ying wants to take this step, I... I'm afraid I won't be able to help."
Mrs. Hu lowered her eyes and said, "I understand, so I let my clan members do things outside."
Huang said: "If Concubine Ying needs help for anything, just tell me that I have a brother who is an official in Shuntian Mansion, and I can help you with a few words."
Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Then thank you sister first."
Things were arranged in this way, and from this day on, the Yanxi Palace, which had been deserted for a long time, once again became bustling with people, even more lively than before. Everyone tried their best to please Xianyue, the future queen, including Ye Hena.
La Shi and Wei Jingxuan. They really didn’t want to come, but Xianyue was about to be the queen, so they had to make this trip.
There were coquettish voices and soft voices in the Yanxi Palace, and it was a happy scene. There was no trace of any resentment or dissatisfaction between them at all.
