Chapter 235 The two concubines join forces to torment the queen
Author: Eunice
Little Nian Gao looked frail, but he was somewhat tenacious. Despite his illness, he still kept reading scriptures day and night. As a result... he became even more seriously ill! He couldn't even attend the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a grand banquet in the palace, and the sudden absence of a concubine is really conspicuous.
On Wan Fang Anhe's stage, operas for family reunion were being sung as in previous years, and the Empress Dowager had an old, unkind face as usual. Seeing his mother in such a state, the emperor naturally had no good feelings.
Shu Jin lowered his head and drank in silence, trying to reduce his sense of presence. Whenever there was a palace banquet, the Queen Mother would show off her face...
Concubine Xi glanced at the empty seat next to her and pretended to be surprised: "Is Concubine Dun still sick?"
Shu Jin could only say: "Yes, I can't even get out of bed."
The Queen Mother, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, snorted coldly: "A sick young man can't even take care of himself, but he still has to raise a prince! Look carefully, the eighth prince has also become sick!"
Hearing this, Concubine Xi was secretly happy. She was just about to take the opportunity to mention this, so she looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, Concubine Dun's sister has been ill for some time, and this eighth prince... should move out for shelter.
That’s it.”
Yinzhen was already in a bad mood today. When he heard the Queen Mother and Concubine Xi singing in harmony, his face turned cold for a moment, "Where does Concubine Xi want Brother Eight to move to?!"
Concubine Xi's heart trembled, and she quickly forced out a smile: "Nowadays, in the harem, the concubine sister is the most stable and virtuous. If she wants to move out, naturally it is the concubine sister who is most suitable."
Shu Jin’s black line: No cue!!
Shu Jin quickly said: "Your Majesty, after Concubine Dun became ill, she moved the eighth prince to the side hall, so the eighth prince did not cause illness."
Little Nian Gao was still a bit nervous, so she didn't keep Ba Age under her nose.
After hearing this, Yinzhen calmed down a little. He turned to Zhang Lin and told Zhang Lin: "You go to Fuchun Palace to pass the decree and let Nian take good care of his health, so that there is no need to copy Buddhist scriptures anymore!"
Shu Jin secretly thought that Xiao Nian Gao was a blessing in disguise. If he hurried so slowly, Xiao Nian Gao would only be able to copy half of them at most.
Concubine Xi's face froze. She originally thought of taking advantage of the opportunity to seize the eighth prince, but unexpectedly...it turned out to be a waste of money!
Ning Guiren at the bottom clenched the brocade handkerchief in his hand, almost breaking his silver teeth.
Shu Jin secretly thought that the little rice cake would be favored again in advance.
This is good, and it saves Ning Guiren from being unique.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Nian Gao's body recovered very quickly, and within seven or eight days, the green card was put back on.
Then came the emperor's call.
The harem once again returned to a peaceful and balanced situation, and Shu Jin was very satisfied.
However, as the autumn day gradually became colder, the man named Kaiyun fell ill again. Shu Jin was not surprised and arranged for the imperial doctor to go to Haosheng for diagnosis and treatment.
The queen's body suffered from serious bone loss and she suffered from serious illness almost every year. She didn't know how many years she could survive.
On this occasion, Concubine Dun launched a pillow storm, saying that the humidity in the Old Summer Palace was not conducive to raising generals, and she wanted to ask the emperor to drive her back to Luan and return to the Forbidden City to spend the winter.
Logically speaking, this is not too much to ask. No matter how beautiful the Old Summer Palace is, there is really nothing to see at this time of year. The Forbidden City, on the other hand, is square and warm.
Little Nian Gao is weak and wants to go back to Jingmaodong, which is human nature.
but!
The queen is seriously ill!!
"The Emperor has been staying in the garden these years, so it is natural for him to return to the Forbidden City." Shu Jin did not object directly, "But, the Queen...does she also want to go back with you?"
Yinzhen naturally knew that the queen was ill again, so he frowned and said, "She is the queen."
Yes, can the emperor leave the queen in the garden?
This is the middle palace, not just a concubine!
If you spend the winter alone in the garden, you may not know what the previous court will say about it.
Shu Jin reminded in a low voice: "But the Queen is very ill, so she shouldn't travel and travel."
Yinzhen didn't care what happened to the queen at this moment. He said with an indifferent expression: "Please do your best, the doctor!"
Shu Jin was speechless. It was not possible for the imperial doctor to recover in a short time with all his hard work! The queen was in serious condition and could not use heavy medicine at all! She could only treat her slowly!
"Go back to Luan in seven days and ask her to show her face a little bit." Yinzhen said coldly.
Shu Jin sighed, "I understand, I understand."
Anyway, the queen has to hold on and go back even if she can hold on!
The stupid emperor is really cool!
The empress was ill, and Shu Jin originally did not want to go to Luoyue Kaiyun - if he was infected, there was no effective medicine in this era. Even though Shu Jin had a strong body, he did not want to provoke cold germs.
But there was nothing she could do about it. She had to convey the emperor's wishes properly.
In the inner bedroom of Kaiyun, the charcoal fire was burning hot. The queen lay ill on the bed, covered with a thick brocade quilt, her face was sallow and dull, and there was almost no light in her eyes.
Shu Jin sighed, "This is the emperor's wish, and there is nothing I can do about it."
There were vague tears in the Queen's eyes, and her voice was hoarse and dark, like an old woman: "Your Majesty... Ha!!" This laugh was extremely sad.
Shu Jin said: "I will ask the imperial doctor to give you the best medicine." - Heavy medicine must not be used lightly. At worst, the queen will be asked to support her, and she will be able to show her face for a while and then put her in the ceremonial car.
The queen took a deep breath and said hoarsely: "Double the dose of medicine." Otherwise, she might not even be able to stand up.
Shu Jin's eyes widened, "Queen, you should know your own body very well."
How can I get serious medicine if I am so weak?!
The queen closed her eyes, with muddy tears falling from the corners of her eyes, "I... haven't seen the sun outside for a long time."
Shu Jin: ...Actually, the queen is only confined to the moon and clouds. When her body and bones are a little better, she can bask in the sun in the courtyard.
Of course, Shu Jin understood what the queen meant. She had not stepped out of the Moon Kaiyun for a long time. After being in jail for so long, she must have wanted to take a look outside.
Just looking at this is a huge price to pay.
Shu Jin sighed and said: "If it doesn't heal in the last three days, I will ask the imperial doctor to increase the dosage of medicine."
Once heavy medicine is used, even if it can make the queen feel better in a short time, it will inevitably damage the root cause afterwards.
The queen... I'm afraid she won't live for a few more years.
The dog emperor is really evil.
"Thank you." The queen spat out these two words in a dry mouth.
Shu Jin smiled bitterly. He was obviously doing evil, but he was thanked. This feeling was really bad.
The Queen took a deep breath and said, "Is it the pillow breeze blown by Concubine Dun?"
Shu Jin sighed: "There is Ning Guiren. Ning Guiren feels sorry for the eighth elder brother, saying that young children cannot bear the cold, and also begs the emperor to return." - In fact, Ning Guiren has no enmity with the queen, she would say this.
If so, most likely it means Concubine Xi.
Concubine Xi and Concubine Dun both hated the queen to the core, and they wouldn't even mind joining forces if given the chance.
The queen gritted her teeth: What a concubine Dun! What a concubine Xi!
