"What I'm saying to you is that I found it in one of Li Shizhen's handwritten notes. After I found it, I made a copy of it. As for the handwritten note, it was naturally placed in the Taiyuan Hospital." As soon as Wang Yuanping finished speaking, Wei Jingxuan said
He asked again about the specific location of the notes, and then said to Qiaoyu, "Fetch the notes as Dr. Wang said."
"Yes." After Qiaoyu left as she was told, about half an hour later, she came in with a yellowed book. After opening it, she found the prescription copied by Wang Yuanping on one of the pages.
Both the medicinal materials and the portions were exactly the same, so it was clear that Wang Yuanping was not lying.
Wei Jingxuan put her hands together and said with a half-smile: "I used your son's affairs to force you not to tell anyone about my affairs. Logically speaking, even if you don't have any resentment, you should have some grudge against me.
Why do you still expend so much effort to help me?"
Wang Yuanping had already expected this question from her, so he held up his hands and said, "Wei Chen wants to make a deal with the empress."
"A deal?" Wei Jingxuan raised her eyebrows and said, "This is new. Can you tell me what kind of deal it is?"
Wang Yuanping said with a heartbroken look: "After what happened last time, Wei Chen thought that the rebellious son would be taught a lesson and would not dare to do anything else. Unexpectedly, in just one year, he was back to his old ways, looking for flowers everywhere, and owed thousands in brothels.
Two pieces of silver, now someone is forcing me to ask for a debt; I had already spent all of my money to bribe that family.
How can I get so much money at once? Even if I sell my ancestral home, it won’t be enough. Besides, I won’t be able to find a buyer for a while. So I can only borrow money from everywhere, scraping together and finally borrowing five hundred taels.
, I couldn’t get the rest together, so after much deliberation, Wei Chen had no choice but to be bold enough to make a deal with the empress.”
Wei Jingxuan raised the prescription in her hand and said, "Do you want to use this prescription in exchange for five hundred taels to save your son?"
"That's right." Wang Yuanping said: "The value of being able to conceive a dragon heir is far more than five hundred taels, so this deal is a good deal for the empress."
Wei Jingxuan lowered her eyes and smiled, and said: "If you can really help me conceive a dragon heir again, not to mention five hundred taels, even five thousand taels is still worth it, but... why should I believe you and this prescription?"
Wang Yuanping said anxiously: "This prescription can really help the empress to recuperate her body and conceive a dragon fetus, Weichen... Weichen..." He gritted his teeth and said, "I can guarantee it with my life!"
Wei Jingxuan curled her lips slightly and said: "If you lie, can I kill you with a knife?" Before Wang Yuanping could say anything, she said again: "But you and I finally have some friendship. Now you are in trouble?
, even if you don’t have this prescription, I will definitely help you!”
When Wang Yuanping heard this, he said with joy on his face: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty! Your kindness will be unforgettable for me!"
After signaling Wang Yuanping to get up, Wei Jingxuan said sadly: "Qiaoyu, go get the five hundred taels of silver notes and give them to Dr. Wang."
Qiaoyu said in embarrassment: "Master, the monthly payment I just received yesterday is almost this amount. If all of it is given to Doctor Wang, I am afraid that this month's expenses will be very tight."
Wei Jingxuan glanced at her and said coldly: "Go and get it as soon as I ask you to do so. Why are you talking so much?"
Seeing the displeasure on her face, Qiaoyu did not dare to say anything more. He followed her instructions and took out the banknote and handed it to Wang Yuanping. After the latter took it, he said with tears of gratitude: "Your Majesty, I will never forget your great kindness. I will definitely take care of it in the future."
Only the empress will follow her lead and will never violate anything!"
Wei Jingxuan personally helped Wang Yuanping up and said warmly: "Mr. Wang's words are serious. Okay, hurry up and take the money to pay off Mr. Ling's debt. Watch him more in the future. Don't let him do this again. Otherwise, there will be more
His family fortune is not enough to defeat him."
"I know, thank you so much, empress." After Wang Yuanping went out with a lot of thanks, Wei Jingxuan handed the prescription in her hand to Mao Gui and said, "Go out of the palace tomorrow and show this prescription to the doctor in the capital.
Look, see if it is consistent with what Wang Yuanping said. Remember, ask a few more doctors to check. Also, let your father check whether Wang Yuanping's son was really forced into debt by a brothel."
"Hey." After taking the prescription, Mao Gui said tentatively: "Master, do you suspect that what Doctor Wang said is untrue?"
"It's not that I doubt it, but it's always good to be more careful." At this point, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said: "If Wang Yuanping can be used by me, plus your previous suggestion, I can change it.
Now we are in a passive situation. I hope... this prescription is really effective."
Wei Jingxuan has always known that the best way to gain a firm foothold in the palace is to give birth to an elder brother. Only an elder brother will be qualified to compete for the throne in the future.
While Wei Jingxuan was thinking about the prescription presented by Wang Yuanping, in Jingren Palace, Xin Bin looked at Xiao Huazi standing at the bottom in surprise, "Did you say that Li Jifeng was once responsible for guarding Yongshou Palace?"
"Yes, the servant also asked accidentally. When the concubine was banned, a group of imperial guards were ordered by the emperor to guard the Yongshou Palace, and among them was Li Jifeng's name. In addition, when the concubine was attacked by the divine crow,
, it was Li Jifeng who saved her."
"According to this, Li Jifeng and your concubine should be acquainted." With that said, Xiuzhu said to Xin concubine: "Master, do you think Li Jifeng went to see your concubine that night?"
Xin Bin did not speak, but tapped her fingers on the table, and Xiao Huazi said: "Even if they really know each other, there is no need to meet each other now, let alone risking the crime of breaking into the palace."
Xiuzhu scratched his head and said: "That's true, but if it wasn't your concubine, who would Li Jifeng be meeting? In this harem, in addition to the empresses and nobles, there are also eunuchs and maids. Could it be that... Li
Ji Feng had an affair with a palace maid, so..."
"No!" Xin Bin interrupted her and said coldly: "Although the palace maids belong to the harem, they are not inaccessible. They can even leave the Forbidden City occasionally. The only kind of person who is not allowed to leave the harem is '
master'!"
Xiuzhu's eyelids twitched and she said in shock: "Master is saying that Li Jifeng went to see not the palace maid but the master?" After a pause, she asked again: "Is it your concubine?"
Xiao Huazi frowned and said: "If it is really your concubine, then his relationship with your concubine is not unusual, and it is even possible..." What he said next was so shocking that he hesitated to continue.
Xiuzhu guessed what he was about to say and said in shock: "If this is really the case, your concubine is really brave!" After she calmed down a little, she said: "Master, this matter is not trivial. We must report it to the emperor immediately.
"
Xin Concubine glanced at her and said: "Report to the Emperor? What evidence do you have to prove that Li Jifeng had an affair with the concubine, and what evidence do you have to prove that he broke into the palace to meet the concubine?"
