"Hey, my Ziyuan, what can I ask of Grandma Huang?" The Empress Dowager sent away the concubines, leaving only Ziyuan. They sat on the soft couch together and exchanged greetings.
"Grandma Huang, Ziyuan wants the Purple Lotus from the Western Regions." Ziyuan shook the Queen Mother's hand.
"Hey, isn't it just a small withered flower? What do I think it is? Just give it to you. Stop shaking it. It makes my head hurt." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Ziyuan hurriedly gave the Empress Dowager a pat on her legs and shoulders, showing her filial piety.
After a while, a maid brought over an exquisite black box and opened it in front of the two of them. Inside was a sleeping purple lotus from the Western Regions. Although it had been dried, its color was so bright that it seemed that it was not
As the end of a plant's life, it just sleeps.
"Grandma Huang is so kind to me. Thank you, Grandma Huang." Ziyuan happily put away the box.
"You, if you were a few days late, you wouldn't be able to get it. This thing was originally intended to be given to a concubine on her birthday." The Empress Dowager said with a smile.
"It seems that Grandma Huang is going to give something else as a reward." Zi Yuan said.
All the objects in the harem are gifts from the emperor, including the empress dowager's palace, which contains precious jewelry and stones, tributes from various countries, and rare folk items and rarities...
Why does the Empress Dowager, an old lady, keep these things that cannot be eaten or drunk? She gives them to the concubines on birthdays and festivals. These are all rewarded by the emperor himself. This kind of transfer is of great significance to the concubines.
They even compare in private who gets more rewards, which means who is favored more in front of the Empress Dowager.
Ziyuan returned to the Prince's Mansion proudly with the Purple Lotus from the Western Regions.
A shriveled lotus can make you change from passive to active, and the situation has completely changed.
…
Zilu, Datong, Mr. Zhang, Lamei, Haitang and the best imperial doctor from the Prince's Palace rushed to the Capital Inn together, where the mute girl stayed holding Tiantian in her arms.
The first thing Haitang saw when she entered was Tiantian lying in a quilt. His face was pale and weak, and he had long lost the liveliness and cuteness of the past.
I remember when I saw her before, she would always stretch out her little hand, mumbling and not knowing what to say, but she would let you hug her.
But at this moment, although she saw Haitang, Datong, and so many people, she didn't have the strength to extend her little hand, she didn't have the strength to croak, she didn't even have the strength to cry...
The moment she saw it, Haitang's heart shattered into pieces.
She didn't expect that her first heartbreak would be because of her daughter.
Touch her forehead and cheek. She is still so young and doesn't know what the world is like. Why is life so weak at this time?
The imperial doctor has already checked Tiantian's pulse. The bumpy and tiring journey to the capital for days is not good for children, but if it is left in Qiaotou Village, after so many visits, even if it gets the Purple Lotus from the Western Regions, it may not be used in time.
The imperial doctor prescribed some medicine to soothe the mind and strengthen the body. This prescription was similar to that prescribed by the dumb girl and other doctors in the capital. They were only sustainable, but the medicinal materials prescribed by the imperial doctor were more expensive.
"How is it?" Datong asked eagerly.
"Only the Western Region Purple Lotus can survive, and it must be done quickly, as the disease waits for no one." The imperial doctor sighed. Doctors save lives and heal the wounded. When they are unable to do anything, they feel the most sad and angry. Especially for such a small life.
