The carriage stopped slowly, and Liu Song, the eunuch in charge of the palace, stepped forward quickly: "Old slave, I would like to pay my respects to His Majesty the Fifth Highness."
"Eunuch Liu, no courtesy." Yan Zhaobai stepped out of the carriage.
This Eunuch Liu was originally the general manager of the palace and had been serving Emperor Wen. At that time, Concubine Su, who was still Concubine Qing, needed to use the medicinal springs in Qingyang Temple to nourish her body. Emperor Wen built a palace in Qingyang Mountain and surrounded the medicinal springs.
After entering the palace, he assigned his confidant Liu Song to take care of it. All the concubines and even the queen went crazy with jealousy.
However, Concubine Qing's health never improved, and the concubines finally felt more balanced - so what if Concubine Qing was favored again? It's not that she would be sick and unable to afford a bed without the medicinal spring.
In the first two years, Concubine Qing would return to the palace to stay for a few days on important occasions such as the birthdays of the Queen Mother and Emperor Wen, and the New Year's Day. Later, she would not return to the palace for several years. If it were not for the purpose of welcoming Concubine Qing into the palace, Emperor Wen would use
The Immaculate Palace built with countless beautiful jade is still standing there. People have forgotten that there is also a concubine Qingfei in the harem who dotes on the Sixth Palace.
After Yan Zhaobai got off the carriage, Si Haochen also walked out of the carriage. Eunuch Liu was surprised, why did His Highness the Fifth Prince bring a foreigner into the palace?
Before Eunuch Liu's shock had passed, the person coming out of the carriage made his jaw drop even more: "Nine...nine princesses."
Mingruo held Si Haochen's hand and stepped out of the carriage. Eunuch Liu plopped down and knelt on the ground: "Isn't this old slave dazzled? Is the ninth princess really back?"
"Eunuch Liu, please get up." Ming Ruoxu gave him a hand, "How is your mother's health?"
"My dear concubine, my spirit has become increasingly weak recently." Eunuch Liu sighed.
Seeing the intimate manner between the Ninth Princess and the man who helped her out of the car, and the demeanor of the dragon and phoenix, I am afraid this is the God of War Prince of Donghuan.
"This is my husband, Prince Dong Huanyun." Mingruo naturally understood that the concubines lived in the palace, and foreign men were not allowed to come and go at will.
"Old slave, please see His Royal Highness Prince Yun." Eunuch Liu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. The reputation of Prince Yun was also well-known in the other three countries.
"Excuse me." Si Haochen raised his hand.
"I will take the Ninth Princess back to Mingzhu Pavilion to rest first. The Imperial Concubine is off in the afternoon and she doesn't wake up until the morning of the afternoon." Liu Gonggong said.
"Take Ji Yue and the others to the Pearl Pavilion to sort things out. I want to go to the Wuxia Palace to see my mother and concubine first." Ming Ruo was eager to diagnose Su Guifei's condition so that she could be treated early.
"Yes." Eunuch Liu just thought that the ninth princess was missing his mother and concubine, and said nothing more. He took the three maids and the escort who drove the carriage to the Pearl Pavilion to settle down.
When Eunuch Liu came to the main hall of Wuxia Palace, he said: "Zijin, Zipei, look who is back."
"Xiao Dezi has said it a long time ago, Your Highness the Fifth Prince..." Zijin looked at Mingruo blankly, his eyes suddenly reddened, "Ninth Princess, you are back. The Imperial Concubine, I have been looking forward to you every day..."
"Aunt Jin, I sent someone to bring back the body-warming elixir before. Didn't the mother and concubine take it?" The two maids Zijin and Zipei were brought to Nanrong from the Duke's Mansion when the original concubine got married.
, is the most useful person for Concubine Su. This aunt takes care of Concubine Su’s daily medicines. Is she right?
"Hey, since the Chinese New Year, the imperial concubine has not taken much medicine, and her health has been getting worse every day..." Speaking of this matter, Aunt Jin also looked sad and anxious.
"Why don't you take the medicine? Did something happen?" In the memory of the original owner, although the mother-in-law was weak by nature, she was not able to see through life and death.
"This..." Aunt Jin looked at the Fifth Highness, and then at the man with an imposing figure next to the Ninth Princess.
"Let's go to the side hall to talk." Mingruo walked straight to the side hall where the original owner used to live before getting married.
Entering the side hall, every furnishing inside was exactly the same as in the memory. Even the vase on the table had a handful of blue hydrangeas that the original owner liked.
Mingruo stretched out her hand and stroked the velvet-soft petals. Aunt Jin smiled and said, "After you leave the pavilion, the imperial concubine always likes to come and sit in this side hall."
Mingruo and the three of them sat down at the table, and Aunt Pei came in with tea and snacks: "It would be great if the Ninth Princess and the Fifth Highness came back. The Imperial Concubine has been thinking about you all the time."
"Aunt Jin, do you know why my mother-in-law doesn't want to take medicine?" Seeing Aunt Jin's hesitant expression, Mingruo felt that something was fishy.
"This slave knows about this." Zipei has a straightforward personality and always has something to say, "Since the princess left the palace, the imperial concubine has not cared much about her body. The daily bird's nest porridge and donkey-hide gelatin stewed fish maw are not big.
I took it. However, I still took my daily medicine on time.
During the Lantern Festival, the emperor left the palace incognito and brought many lanterns with him to celebrate the festival. After the emperor left, the imperial concubine stopped taking medicine from the next day.
However, the imperial concubine would sometimes choose to take some of the medicines sent by the old lady..."
"When the imperial concubine coughs up blood, she will take one of those jade-colored pills..." Zijin always helped Concubine Su take medicine and observed her more carefully.
"I sent a black elixir with golden patterns before, and my grandmother should have sent it this time. Have you ever taken it?" The jade-colored pill is for warming and replenishing the body, but it was cleared up with the Yiling Pill.
Remaining toxins in the body are the first step in treatment.
If you get the order wrong, the residual poison will always be there, and no matter how many pills you take to replenish your body, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
"This..." Zijin thought carefully for a while, "I have never seen the imperial concubine take that medicine. When I am not at your side, I don't know if the imperial concubine has used the pill."
"It's useless to talk about this now. I'd better go see my mother and concubine myself." Mingruo followed the memory of the original owner and walked straight to Concubine Su's bedroom.
In the past, the original owner and his mother and concubine faced each other day and night, and entering and exiting the mother's and concubine's bedroom were as casual as entering and exiting his own bedroom.
When Mingruo walked to the door of the dormitory, Zipei quickly stepped forward to open the curtain, and Mingruo went to the inner room. Si Haochen and Yan Zhaobai followed Mingruo and wanted to go inside.
But he was stopped by Zijin: "Your Highnesses, please stay. You two should wait until the imperial concubine gets up before you come to pay your respects."
After listening to Aunt Jin's words, Si Haochen and Yan Zhaobai did not go further inside, but only waited at the door.
Ming Ruo walked to the bed softly. The woman sleeping on the bed looked very young and beautiful. She had a similar face to the original owner, but with a bit of heroism. However, her face was pale.
The body is extremely thin.
Ming Ruo took her wrist pulse, diagnosed her pulse, and activated the medical system to conduct a full body examination. The remaining poison in Su Guifei's body was exactly the same as the poison in Jiyue, which would make the body weaker and weaker.
