The emperor coughed lightly, breaking the silence and stalemate around him.
"The Queen Mother has been feeling unwell recently and her brain is a little confused. Your Majesty, please don't pay attention."
At this point, the emperor softened his expression a little: "Mother, the imperial concubine is indeed good at the art of qihuang. The one who performed acupuncture on you a few days ago was indeed the imperial concubine. There may have been a misunderstanding that led to the current situation.
What does the Crown Princess think of the situation?"
The emperor pretended to be dumbfounded, and everyone present cooperated with him, as if the current situation was really a misunderstanding, and they had completely forgotten what he had said before.
Song Shuwan squeezed her intertwined hands, various thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally she gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Yes, this matter is indeed...a misunderstanding."
The emperor nodded slightly, taking into account the empress dowager's face, and not wanting to delay the matter any longer, he directly dismissed all the concubines.
At this time, the Queen Mother suddenly touched her forehead: "Ai's head hurts again, oh, it feels uncomfortable..."
The emperor stepped forward to help: "Concubine, come up quickly and perform acupuncture for the Queen Mother."
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes and said in a tone that was neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, I said before that I cannot perform acupuncture on the Queen Mother today."
When she mentioned before, the emperor suppressed his anger and asked patiently: "Why not?"
"The Queen Mother drank the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor this morning. Because the efficacy of the medicine is unknown, the acupuncture administered by my wife may affect the body of the Queen Mother, so the acupuncture cannot be administered."
The emperor frowned, displeasure flashed across his majestic face.
"What if I want you to perform acupuncture now?"
Before Song Shuwan could speak, the sound of a wooden wheel rolling across the ground was heard.
Pei Huan drove the wheelchair to Song Shuwan's side: "Your Majesty, no one will joke with their own life."
The female officer circled around the Queen Mother, her eyes full of eagerness.
"Empress Dowager, are you okay? Hurry, go get the medicine ordered by the doctor."
The palace people were running around, but they could not suppress the pain of the Queen Mother.
There was a hint of coldness in the emperor's eyes: "What if I must ask her to perform acupuncture?"
Song Shuwan stopped Pei Huan who was about to speak out: "Then I can only trade my life with the Queen Mother."
"Are you threatening me?"
At some point, the sound from Cining Palace disappeared.
The emperor took a step forward, and the oppression around him swept towards Song Shuwan.
The next moment, a person in a wheelchair stood in front of her.
"Your Majesty, my wife is innocent."
In just a few words, all the emperor's aura was removed.
After a long time, he asked slightly tiredly: "How can you give the Queen Mother acupuncture?"
Pei Huan turned his head and his eyes fell exactly where Song Shuwan was.
He couldn't see the situation around him, but he knew Song Shuwan's anger at being targeted by everyone before.
He would not let Song Shuwan take action immediately because of the emperor. The choice was in her hands, and the decision was naturally made by her.
And the only thing he could do was to support Song Shuwan.
Fortunately, he, Pei Huan, has the confidence.
After a while, Song Shuwan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it is clear that I cannot acupuncture the Queen Mother."
"you……"
The emperor did not expect that Song Shuwan was completely out of touch and could not speak while pointing at her.
At this time, the female official from Cining Palace trotted in.
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctors are here."
The emperor sneered: "What's the use of coming? If they had the ability, how could the Queen Mother be plagued by illness for a long time? Tell them to get the board!"
The female officer lowered her eyebrows and responded: "Yes."
Song Shuwan was still kneeling, completely unaffected by the emperor's words.
At this time, the emperor could only ask the imperial physician to order Zheng Chengshou to diagnose and treat the Queen Mother again. After seeing Song Shuwan and Pei Huan, he asked them to leave directly.
"No one is allowed to enter the palace without my summons."
On the carriage back home, Pei Huan suddenly stretched out his hand, and in Song Shuwan's surprised eyes, he accurately pointed at the center of her eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, can you see the light?"
Pei Huan turned his head and nodded without saying a word.
Song Shuwan was increasingly surprised that Pei Huan recovered too quickly, completely inconsistent with the progress she had imagined.
Could it be that Pei Huan is in some condition?
"Give me your wrist."
Pei Huan reached out his hand in cooperation.
Song Shuwan checked her pulse and a thin wrinkle formed between her brows.
Pei Huan was in good health and had no abnormalities as she thought.
"Have you taken any other medicine recently?"
"No."
A silky and steady male voice passed by Song Shuwan's ears. She rubbed her brows and decided to wait until she returned home to do the investigation.
At this time, Pei Huan mentioned what she said in front of the Queen Mother.
"It's okay to say it, but you don't have enough restraint."
Song Shuwan raised her brows slightly and said in a slightly brisk tone: "I know what you mean, but my words are to ensure that the emperor will not touch me if you are by your side."
That was because the Queen Mother had gone astray. The Emperor could not allow the situation to change any further, so he would definitely settle the matter.
In fact, the emperor did exactly that.
However, the Queen Mother's illness caused trouble to the originally safe situation.
"The emperor may be angry with you."
Pei Huan smiled slightly and put his fingertips on the car window: "The Emperor is a wise king, and he will not express his anger randomly. However, do you have any treatment for the Queen Mother's headache?"
"have."
Song Shuwan spoke like nails. Just as she was about to elaborate, the carriage suddenly stopped.
The two people in the car were feeling strange when An Yi's voice came from outside the car: "We have arrived at the Hou Mansion."
It turned out that he had returned to the Hou Mansion.
Song Shuwan calmed down her emotions and pushed Pei Huan into the house after a while.
Unexpectedly, a few steps later, a servant girl came and stopped several people.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please go to the Green Bamboo Garden."
Qingzhuyuan is the main courtyard where the Marquis and his wife live.
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes, bent down and whispered into Pei Huan's ear: "The person who came here is not a good person, Your Majesty."
Pei Huan's eyes fell forward, letting her breath hit his ears as she spoke, and said calmly: "If you are bored, it would be good to watch the monkey show."
What a poisonous mouth.
Song Shuwan caught a glimpse of the servant girl's changed expression, smiled and pushed the wheelchair towards the Green Bamboo Garden.
As soon as I entered the door, a tea cup flew over.
Pei Huan didn't move, but An Yi behind him quickly drew his sword and split the teacup in half. With a "bang", the teacup and the tea splashed all over the floor.
The Marquis grabbed the cane, glanced at the mess on the ground, and pointed the cane at the two of them angrily: "Pei Huan, Song Shuwan, you two are so brave, how dare you act recklessly in the palace in the name of the Hou Mansion.
, ruin the reputation of my Marquis Mansion, kneel down!"
Time passed, Song Shuwan stood still and Pei Huan didn't even raise his eyelids.
In this way, the Marquis jumped up in excitement: "Do you two want to go to heaven? I tell you, I am the one who calls the shots in the Marquis Mansion, and you haven't..."
With a soft "bang" sound, Pei Huan raised his hand, and a crushed tea lid fell to the ground.
He spoke slowly: "I don't care who the person who can be the head of the Hou Palace is, but you...why are you jumping here?"
There was a gasping sound all around, followed by silence.
