Hongli didn't expect that she would make such a sudden decision, and said in shock: "Your Majesty, your concubine has never made any mistakes, so to rashly impose a punishment, I'm afraid... is not appropriate."
"It is the first crime for a concubine to coax the emperor to change his will and pardon the Wei family; it is the second crime to seek official positions for his two brothers; and he is punished for both crimes. Does the emperor still think this punishment is heavy?"
Hongli was really in trouble right now. He gave Wei and De two official posts of the eighth rank and rewarded the Wei family with a daughter. This was all to fulfill the promise he made when he accepted Wei Xiuyan. He had nothing to do with Wei Jingxuan at all. If it were now
It was indeed unfair to put all the blame on Wei Jingxuan; but he could never say these words, so he could only say: "My son said that all this is my son's intention and has nothing to do with my concubine."
Hongli's words made Ling Ruo frown slightly. Hongli had always been filial to her, but she rarely disobeyed anything she said, but now he was arguing with her for Wei Jingxuan. From this point of view, this woman's tactics
It's really not small.
Ling Ruo stopped moving the beads and said coldly: "So, the emperor is reluctant to punish his concubine?"
Seeing that she was displeased, Hongli quickly stood up and said, "My son didn't mean that, but he just felt that he had some feelings for your concubine..." He hesitated for a long time, and finally did not continue, and then said: "Empress Huang's mother,
It is better to remove the concubine's green head card for a month and let her meditate on copying Buddhist scriptures and cultivate her moral character during this month."
Ling Ruo was undoubtedly dissatisfied with this result, but since Hongli had already said this, she could not insist too much and nodded: "Okay, it will follow the emperor's wishes."
When this decree reached Yongshou Palace, it was undoubtedly a blow to Wei Jingxuan's head. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Although Ling Ruo did not blame her face to face, this punishment was more terrifying than the punishment. Of course, the most terrifying thing was what Ling Ruo revealed.
It means that she is already surrounded by strong enemies in the palace, and adding Ling Ruo... she is surrounded by enemies on all sides. Even she feels a headache.
Seeing Wei Jingxuan's frown, Mao Gui said softly: "Although the Queen Mother was instigated by Concubine Ying and was dissatisfied with her master, it seems from this incident that the Emperor still favors you. One month has passed quickly.
You don’t have to worry too much.”
"I'm afraid that after this month has passed, something will happen next month." After saying this, Wei Jingxuan sneered: "Besides, others don't know, don't you know, too, that the emperor is not looking for me at all, but
Xiuyan."
Qiaoyu interjected: "Whether the emperor faces the master or the second lady, it is not a bad thing for you."
"I'm afraid...Xiuyan won't be able to protect me for too long." After saying such meaningless words, Wei Jingxuan said, "Xiao Guizi, go and ask Doctor Wang to come over."
"Hey!" Mao Gui left in response, and soon invited Wang Yuanping over. After gesturing for the latter to sit down, Wei Jingxuan said: "It has been almost half a year since I took the prescription you gave me before. Please help me."
Let’s see how your body is recovering and whether you can have a baby again.”
Wang Yuanping responded, took out a silk handkerchief and put it on Wei Jingxuan's wrist. After a careful diagnosis, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, although your health has improved, the hidden wounds are still there. It will take at least a while for you to recover."
time."
This answer made Wei Jingxuan's eyes flash with disappointment, and she frowned: "How long do you mean by a period of time?"
"This..." Wang Yuanping didn't know, and said perfunctorily: "According to Weichen's inference, it will take at least a year and a half. After all, the injuries you suffered before are not so easy to recover from."
"At least a year and a half..." Wei Jingxuan frowned and said, "In other words, if things don't go well, three to five years is also possible?"
Wang Yuanping could hear the displeasure in her words, and he answered bravely, and immediately said: "After all, this disease is different from other diseases. It is extremely difficult to treat and treat. If Wei Chen hadn't accidentally found this prescription, I'm afraid there would be no hope at all."
Qiaoyu took over and said: "But three to five years is too long. By then, the master will be how old he is."
Wang Yuanping said with a bitter face: "I understand the mood of the master and Miss Qiaoyu, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed."
When Qiaoyu was about to say more, Wei Jingxuan already said: "Okay, I understand, but there is one thing. I have to trouble Doctor Wang."
Wang Yuanping hurriedly said: "Just ask me, Madam."
Wei Jingxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "You will go to Guangxiu Garden with Xiao Guizi tomorrow."
Wang Yuanping looked puzzled when he heard this. He had naturally heard of the name Guangxiu Garden, but it had been vacant for a long time and there were only some servants cleaning the courtyard. What did Wei Jingxuan ask him to do? Could it be to treat those servants?
Thinking like this, he said tentatively: "I wonder who the empress wants me to see a doctor for?"
"You will know when you get there. Xiao Guizi will tell you the specific details tomorrow." Seeing what she said, Wang Yuanping had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart and step back.
Early the next morning, Wang Yuanping took leave at home. A quarter later, Mao Gui came to his family and went to Guangxiu Garden with him. Along the way, Wang Yuanping was guessing about the purpose of his trip. When he was halfway there, he really couldn't bear it.
Out of curiosity, he said insinuatingly: "Eunuch Mao, my wife has been living in the palace for these years, how come she knows the people in Guangxiu Garden?"
Mao Gui smiled and said, "Mr. Wang will know when he gets there."
Seeing that he refused to say anything, Wang Yuanping had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and continue walking forward, which took about as long as touching a stick of incense. Finally, he arrived at Guangxiu Garden. Wang Yuanping was surprised to find that the gates were usually closed, and it was difficult to see anyone in Guangxiu Garden.
Xiuyuan, there are actually two guards here at this moment.
Guarding the door, Mao Gui seemed to be very familiar with this. He stepped forward and said, "Two eldest brothers, we have been ordered by the concubine to come to visit the concubine." After saying that, he took out Wei Jingxuan's handwriting and handed it to one of the guards.
After the latter argued for a while, they opened the door and let them in.
Guangxiu Garden is divided into three roads: east, middle and west. Mao Gui led Wang Yuanping all the way east to the back courtyard there. The servants there recognized Mao Gui and said, "Dad, are you here to see my wife?"
Mao Gui apologized and said with a smile, "That's right. Please spread the word for our family."
After welcoming them to the front hall to serve tea, the servants retreated and came in again after a while: "My lady is still having her meal. Please wait a moment, father-in-law."
Mao Gui quickly agreed and waited until the tea cooled down. Finally someone came in. When he saw the visitor, Wang Yuanping showed an expression of disbelief. Wei Xiuyan? How could she be here? And look at her beaded clothes and the servants following her.
It seems that she is the owner of Guangxiu Garden; but... this Guangxiu Garden is comparable to
The places where various royal palaces compare, how can Wei Xiuyan become the owner of this place? It is absolutely impossible to buy it, so there is only one possibility left... It was a gift from Hongli, but he didn't understand why Hongli would give Wei Xiuyan such a big gift.
For Wei Jingxuan's sake, the favor was a bit reluctant.
