When Xia Qing was about to say more, Mrs. Hu had already opened her mouth and said: "Didn't your Majesty say before that you should not scare the snake before you find out Qiao Yan'er's intention? Why this time..."
Xianyue stood up suddenly and said with cold eyes: "She colluded with the emperor and intended to harm the Qing Dynasty. How can I let her do whatever she wants? It's a shame that the emperor protected her indiscriminately, otherwise I would have taken her life long ago.
"
Although Mrs. Hu knew that Xianyue had a dispute with Hongli over Qiao Yan'er, the specific content was not clear. When she heard this, she was surprised and said: "Having harmed the Qing Dynasty? Has the empress already found out her origins and intentions?"
Xianyue coughed a few times and said: "There is no need to check. I have foreseen what she did in my dream. This person must be eliminated!"
Mrs. Hu and Xia Qing looked at each other, and both saw the absurdity in each other's eyes. Mrs. Hu said: "Madam, that is just a dream, it cannot be taken seriously."
"No, that is the real future." Xianyue said with certainty, then looked at Mrs. Hu and said, "Why, even you don't believe me?"
Seeing his unkind expression, Mrs. Hu hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I just said that Qiao should die based on a dream. I'm afraid it would be hard to convince the public, and the emperor would not agree; or... wait until the evidence is found,
Let’s punish Qiao again.”
"No!" Xianyue suddenly stood up and said in a stern voice: "If you keep her for one more day, there will be more danger. As long as I close my eyes now, I will see her sitting with the emperor on the corpses on the ground, drinking, forever...
...Among those corpses, it’s so scary.” After a pause, she said: “We must stop this disaster before it causes a big disaster.” After a pause, she added: “Since you are here, just follow
I will go with you to persuade the emperor not to be deceived by Mr. Qiao again."
Seeing Xianyue about to walk out, Xia Qing hurriedly stopped her and said: "Madam, this matter... let's discuss it in the long run."
Although Xia Qing tried her best to slow down her tone, Xianyue still angered Xianyue and said coldly: "After all, you still don't believe me and think what I see is untrue!"
Mrs. Hu frowned slightly and said: "I think about it every day and dream about it at night. Maybe the empress cares too much about Qiao Yan'er and is tired, so she has such a dream. I'll forgive you for speaking frankly, even if Qiao Yan'er
If you really have bad intentions, it is impossible to confuse the emperor and mess up the foundation of the Qing Dynasty built by these generations of emperors."
Xia Qing took advantage of the situation and said: "Yes, Madam, if you relax a little, everything will be fine."
Xianyue murmured: "No, it's not a dream, it's real. Everything I saw is real!" After speaking, she became extremely excited, and her originally beautiful face became ferocious and terrifying.
.
The Hu family tried to persuade Xianyue a few more times, but they were unable to persuade Xianyue. Instead, they were scolded and had no choice but to retreat. After closing the palace door, Xia Qing said worriedly: "Mother, do you have any questions?"
I don’t think anything is wrong with the Queen’s situation, she seems to regard her dream as reality, and will not listen to us no matter how much we try to persuade her.”
Mrs. Hu nodded and said: "I have also seen it. Before, the Queen had nightmares and was mentally depressed. Now she does not distinguish between dreams and reality. I am thinking that the Queen... may she have some disease?"
Xia Qing had the same idea and said, "Both Imperial Physician Fang and Imperial Physician Song are in the palace, why not invite them to come and see the empress? If you are really sick, you can treat her in time."
Coincidentally, as soon as she finished speaking, Fang Jian's figure appeared in sight. After asking, she found out that it was Hongli who sent her here. Apparently Hongli also had doubts about Xianyue's abnormality.
Fang Jian cupped his hands and said, "If you two ladies have no other instructions, I will go in and take the Queen's pulse."
"Wait a minute." Mrs. Hu said, "The Queen is emotionally unstable right now. I'm afraid she won't let you take a pulse easily."
Hearing this, Fang Jian was troubled. Among the many tests, pulse checking was the most critical. If he could not diagnose his pulse, it would be difficult to know whether he was sick, let alone what kind of disease he was suffering from.
Mrs. Hu thought for a while, her eyes lit up, and said: "Yes, you can go in with me."
Seeing Mrs. Hu and others come in again, Xianyue said coldly: "What else are you doing here?"
"When I was going out, I happened to meet Dr. Fang. He remembered that the empress had coughed a few times just now, so he asked him to come and help her to avoid catching the cold." Without waiting for Xianyue to speak, she said again: "Listen to Dr. Fang.
He said that due to the colder weather in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas recently, many people have been infected with wind and cold. The adults are fine, but the children are suffering. Once the young ones are infected, they cry all night and often need to be treated for many days before they get better.
"
Hearing this, Xianyue's expression softened slightly and she said, "I am not infected with the cold."
Fang Jian took the opportunity to say: "For wind-cold symptoms, there are often only a few coughs at the beginning, which makes people think that there is no serious problem, but in fact they are already in the midst of an illness."
Xia Qing took the words and said, "Yes, in order to prevent Brother Twelve from being infected, I'd better let Dr. Fang take a look."
Under their persuasion, Xianyue finally nodded and reached out to ask Fang Jian to check her pulse. The latter checked her pulse through the silk handkerchief for a long time before taking back her hand and bowing: "My queen has been feeling weak recently, so she has a cold."
It looks like an invasion of the body, but it's not serious. I'll prescribe some medicine for you, take it on time and you'll be fine."
After exiting the inner hall, Xia Qing hurriedly said: "Mr. Fang, how is the Queen? Are you sick?"
Fang Jian frowned and said, "I carefully checked the Queen's pulse. Apart from her weak body and a little strong heart fire, she has no other symptoms."
"How is this possible?" Xia Qing said excitedly: "Your Majesty's behavior and speech are so abnormal, how can she not be sick? Have you not diagnosed her?"
Fang Jian said with great certainty: "Returning to Concubine Hui, judging from the pulse portrait of the Empress, she is indeed fine. If you ask other imperial doctors for diagnosis, I believe the result will be the same."
When Xia Qing was about to say more, Mrs. Hu already said: "I know this. You can go back and report your orders to the emperor."
Seeing Fang Jian leaving, Xia Qing said eagerly: "Empress, he obviously didn't diagnose the patient carefully, why should he leave? He should be allowed to diagnose the Queen again."
Mrs. Hu sighed and said: "I understand Concubine Hui's mood, but Dr. Fang came here under the emperor's order. I believe he dare not be careless. If he diagnoses her again, the result will be the same."
Xia Qing bit her lip and said sadly: "But if the empress is not sick, how could she regard her dream as reality and keep asking for Qiao Yan'er's life? It's really not like her usual behavior."
Mrs. Hu stroked her cheek and said, "Actually, the Queen looks like she is possessed by an evil spirit rather than being sick. But how could such a good person be possessed by an evil spirit? It's really hard to figure out."
