Chapter 329: Becoming a Rent Collector in Infinite Weirdness 24
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal."
Chu Ji said again.
"I know that with Erlang's ability, there is no problem in dealing with them. It's just that I feel sorry for Erlang because he is tired."
Qiao Jinhuan coaxed him softly.
Since he had to go to court the next day, Qiao Jinhuan took Chu Ji to rest early. When he woke up the next day, he left early again.
Qiao Jinhuan didn't care either.
She called Taohong and handed her the white porcelain bottle containing the dispelling medicine, "Give this to the maid in the Queen Mother's Palace and ask her to find a way to feed it into the Queen Mother's belly."
Taohong didn't ask any questions, turned around and walked out with the medicine.
As soon as he moved his left and right hands, the medicine was sent to the Cihe Palace where the Queen Mother lived, and was handed over to a tea maid in the Cihe Palace that afternoon.
The maid looked at the medicine in the porcelain bottle and silently added it to the tea given to the Queen Mother every day.
However, within three to five days, the Queen Mother fell ill. She often coughed and was in low spirits.
"Taohong, I'm going to visit my aunt with you."
When Qiao Jinhuan heard this, she raised her lips and stroked the golden hairpin on her head with one hand. The tassel next to her swayed gently with her steps.
Tao Hong's eyes also flashed with a sense of watching a good show, "The Queen Mother is seriously ill, and the Queen Mother's visit to express her filial piety will definitely make the Queen Mother feel happy and happy, and she may recover from her illness soon."
Recover from illness?
Hahaha~
Both Qiao Jinhuan and Tao Hong knew very well that the Queen Mother would never recover from her illness.
Qiao Jinhuan walked slowly into Cihe Palace with a big belly. Her original joyful expression had long been replaced by worry, "Mother, I am here to see you."
The Queen Mother lay half-lying on the bed and coughed twice. She frowned when she heard this, "Why are you here?"
"I heard that you were seriously ill, so I came here to visit you and brought you some medicinal materials."
Qiao Jinhuan waved her hand, and Taohong beside her held up a large box, which contained ginseng and other good medicinal materials for replenishing the body.
"When I first entered the palace, my family prepared some medicinal materials for me. Mother, you must take good care of yourself. I and the baby in my belly still need your protection."
Qiao Jinhuan was sitting on a chair, and her performance was truly emotional.
Even though the Queen Mother was seriously ill and irritable, she couldn't help but feel a little more comfortable at this moment, "My family is fine, I'll be fine after just two days of rest."
"Have you called the imperial doctor to see me?"
"Look, I'm drinking medicine."
"My mother has always been in good health, why did she suddenly fall ill this time? And I see that my mother has been drinking this medicine for several days, but she still doesn't feel better? Is it because the doctor's medical skills are not good? Why don't you call Mrs. Du, the doctor, and come and take your pulse?"
"
yes.
I have been taking this medicine for two or three days, but I am still not feeling better.
Moreover, her illness is indeed strange. Could it be that she fell into someone else's trick?
The Queen Mother thought more and more, frowned and asked someone to call Eucommia ulmoides.
Eucommia also came quickly.
As soon as he entered Cihe Palace and saw Qiao Jinhuan drinking tea leisurely next to him, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
Another pulse, this pulse...
Eucommia ulmoides couldn't help but glance at Qiao Jinhuan.
Qiao Jinhuan nodded to him without changing her expression, and asked anxiously, "How is your mother's illness? How long will it take to get better?"
Eucommia ulmoides:……
"What's going on with Ai's illness?" the Queen Mother asked again.
Eucommia ulmoides:……
He struggled and thought hard in his heart, and for a long time, he sighed silently in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, your illness is caused by overwork. It doesn't show in the past, but it is wear and tear. I reminded you last time that you were not in good health and you were overworked, so you suddenly fell ill.
."
"Your disease comes on quickly. If you want to get sick, you have to take your time to recover. Otherwise, your life span will be damaged!"
This imperial concubine is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Although the pulse of the Queen Mother was not very obvious, he could detect something strange. He guessed that she must have been infected by a chronic tiger and wolf poison that can hollow out a person's body.
But he didn't dare to say it.
Because the imperial concubine was sitting next to him, obviously here to threaten him.
Qiao Jinhuan glanced at Eucommia ulmoides with slight appreciation.
It was not in vain that she warned this guy in advance. This guy's medical skills were really good. If he didn't win over someone and poison him rashly, he would probably be traced to death.
"Is that so?"
The Queen Mother coughed weakly, her face full of bitterness, "How can the Ai family have time to cultivate themselves?"
She didn't doubt Eucommia ulmoides.
Not to mention that the other party was an old doctor she had used for many years, but she also knew that she suffered a dystocia during childbirth, which indeed damaged her foundation, and her body has never recovered since then.
It is normal to get sick due to overwork.
It's just that she suddenly fell ill. What should we do with the government affairs?
"Political matters cannot be separated from my mother, but my mother's body is more important. Doctor Du, you must let your mother take good care of herself."
Qiao Jinhuan spoke calmly, as if on purpose.
Eucommia froze up and her face looked down with a look of embarrassment, "I will definitely try my best."
Qiao Jinhuan's eyes fell on the Queen Mother's slightly pale face, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and asked Du Zhong to write a prescription and leave. She was also preparing to drive Qiao Jinhuan away.
However, Qiao Jinhuan held her waist and raised her stomach, and immediately knelt down in front of the Queen Mother's bed.
The Queen Mother was shocked, "What are you doing?"
"Mother, you must save my concubine."
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother's heart was in doubt. She immediately waved her hand and drove out all the people serving in the palace. "Get up and speak. What do you mean by this?"
"Mother~"
Qiao Jinhuan shouted bitterly, stood up and sat back on the chair, "Mother, my father sent a message to my concubine a few days ago, saying that my sister-in-law is also pregnant, and she is more than six months pregnant. The doctors said that she is a boy.
fetal."
"The Ai family knows about this, what happened?"
Qiao Jinhuan's eldest brother's wife was indeed more than six months pregnant. How could he not know that the Queen Mother had given her a reward?
"My father called me my concubine and asked me to think of a way to go home while my sister-in-law is expecting to give birth."
Hearing this, the suspicious Queen Mother's face suddenly changed, "What does your father want to do?"
Qiao Jinhuan put a hand on her belly, tears streaming down her face, "My father wanted to give my concubine a bowl of birth-inducing medicine. At that time, I wanted to replace my concubine's child with my brother's child. Mother, you must save me."
My concubine, please save your grandson!"
"Absurd! Cough, cough..."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she coughed repeatedly, "How dare he! The Ai family will never allow it!"
What was in Qiao Jinhuan's belly was the biological grandson of her biological son. If she drank the birth-stimulating medicine, how could her body be cured even if the birth was less than one month old?
Not to mention this.
Let the direct grandson of the Qiao family enter the palace instead of the imperial grandson?
Is her brother crazy?
This grandson came to the palace to inherit the throne. He was so ambitious that he wanted the Qiao family to replace the Chu family. Would he use such shameless means to seize the Chu family?
"Don't worry, no one can touch you and your child while the Ai family is here."
