"I don't like to be deceived by others. If Concubine Li really does this, it would be betrayal, and I will not let you off lightly." Yun Shang narrowed her eyes, with a hint of danger in her voice.
Concubine Cao seemed to be startled by Yun Shang's appearance, her body froze slightly, and then she quickly agreed: "It should be like this. The empress saw that Concubine Li had no children to rely on in the palace, so she felt pity for her, so she did this
I trust her so much, but she intends to do this behind the back of the empress, which is really chilling."
Yun Shang rolled her eyes and then said calmly: "I will send someone to find out this matter. Thank you very much, Concubine Cao, for coming to tell me."
Concubine Cao said a few polite words and then left with a smile. Qianzhu escorted Concubine Cao out of Weiyang Palace and then returned to the main hall. She saw Yun Shang holding a cup and looking at the light.
He walked up to behind Yun Shang and asked softly: "Is your Majesty going to send Concubine Cao to ask questions?"
"What kind of rumor is this? Concubine Cao came to report this matter. Even if it is true, we can only investigate in secret. Besides, did you follow my instructions and keep an eye on them with Qin Yi when they were assisting in the affairs of the harem?"
?" Yun Shang placed the green and clear cup on the table.
"I have sincerely followed your Majesty's instructions and never let your seal leave our sight for a moment." Qianzuo responded quickly.
Yun Shang nodded: "That's right. Concubine Li is a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts. Is it possible that she can still use my private seal under your nose?"
Only then did Qianzui understand what Yun Shang meant: "What the empress means is that Concubine Cao told a lie?"
Yun Shang only smiled and did not say yes or no. She only whispered: "Send a few secret guards to keep an eye on Princess Li."
Qian Zui was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded and retreated. Yun Shang picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot water. Fang stood up, placed the cup in the bird cage, and watched the parrot stretch out its beak.
He pecked in the cup and then laughed: "Interesting."
It is said that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, but after giving birth to Bao'er, she felt that she seemed to be a lot slower. Just like Xia Huanyu took Xia Houjing to Yangliu Town before, she only saw the hidden dangers, but not the opportunities.
But this time, she had only understood that Concubine Cao cared about the fifteenth princess, but she had not thought that Cao Wenxi gave birth to Xia Houjing in Concubine Cao's palace more than 20 years ago. Xia Houjing,
You should also call her aunt.
Cao Shanxiu had said before that she and Cao Wenxi had a very good relationship when they were in the boudoir. If this was the case, how could she watch her and Luo Qingyan deal with Xia Houjing like this?
However, if Cao Shanxiu wants to help Xia Houjing, given her identity, it would be too easy for others to suspect her?
Yun Shang walked to the couch and sat down, taking out a book to read. However, she saw Qin Yi walking in in a hurry, her eyes full of anxiety and worry: "Your Majesty, please take a look at the building in Jiancheng not far from Jincheng."
News came from the hidden stake that someone sneaked into the ghost doctor's inn last night and stayed in the ghost doctor's room all night. That person was not low in martial arts and was very familiar with the terrain. The secret guard he was following was caught by him.
It was thrown away, and we can’t be sure which side it belongs to.”
Hearing this, Yun Shang nodded slightly: "Although I have deceived the people, many people know the exact condition of my body after all, and they naturally want to try every means to prevent Bao'er and I from getting better. This is to be expected.
.”
"Then shall we meet the ghost doctor? If the ghost doctor has been bribed by someone, it is better for us not to meet him for the time being. Otherwise, if he falls into someone else's trap and calculation, it may be even more disadvantageous for us." A flash of light flashed in Qin Yi's eyes.
With a look of distress, he lowered his head and said softly.
Yun Shang raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "Whether I see the ghost doctor or not is not up to me. If I don't see the ghost doctor, I will end up with the excuse of not seeing the doctor. I'm afraid it will lead to more speculation. I must see the ghost doctor, but,
Others can do it, why can't I?"
Qin Yi raised her eyes and looked at Yun Shang: "What do you think, your Majesty?"
"I have never been a kind person. Since someone has insulted me, I should repay him double." A cold look flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, and she stretched out her hand to close the book in her hand.
After Yun Shang finished speaking, she raised her eyes and hooked her fingers towards Qin Yi, asking Qin Yi to lean over and attach her ear. Yun Shang gave detailed instructions on what to do, and Qin Yi nodded lightly.
The ghost doctor entered Jincheng two days later, and the news spread throughout Jincheng in one day. However, a ghost doctor just appeared some time ago, and now there is another one. The people are a little hesitant.
Which one is true and which one is false.
The ghost doctor is not an ordinary person. On the second day after entering the city, he met an old lady who was seriously ill but was dying on the street because she had no money to treat her. The doctor from the Huichun Hall who passed by said that she was seriously ill.
The old lady checked her pulse, but she could only shake her head. There were many people watching, and when they were all sighing, the ghost doctor suddenly appeared, and with just one pill, the old lady had already stepped half into the gate of hell.
Pulled back.
This matter spread quickly in Jincheng in just half a day, and more and more people came to seek medical consultation. However, the ghost doctor changed his previous attitude of seeing a doctor based on his mood.
It can be seen at a glance, but it can only cure difficult and complicated diseases that ordinary doctors have no solution for. And within a few days, there is no unsolvable disease. No matter how serious it is, as long as there is still a breath left, he will always have a way.
Suddenly, the limelight was overwhelming.
Even Ning Qian, who had just given birth, couldn't help but go into the palace and asked about the matter: "Isn't it said that this ghost doctor has a very strange temper and will never treat people he doesn't like? Why did he suddenly change his temper?"
However, yesterday I made a special trip to disguise myself and hid in the crowd to watch his consultation. He could tell what the disease was with just one look at most diseases without feeling the pulse at all, and his judgments were extremely accurate. This skill
, I think even the miracle doctor Xueyan might not be able to do it."
Yun Shang nodded lightly: "If that ghost doctor really says what you say, the miracle doctor Xueyan cannot completely know the cause of the disease without feeling the pulse."
Ning Qian couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she saw Yun Shang's calm expression, seemingly unmoved. She moved a little closer to Yun Shang and then said softly: "This ghost doctor has been in the city for a long time.
Why haven't you sent someone to invite him into the palace to give you and Bao'er a good health check? Maybe he can be cured with medicine. You said that's all you want, why is there no movement from your majesty?
I heard that when the ghost doctor was in the Imperial City of Ningguo, His Majesty sent letters over and over again to urge him to invite him. But now that this person is here, how come you two have suddenly become so calm?
"
"How many days has the ghost doctor been in Jincheng?" Yun Shang smiled and asked softly.
Ning Qian rolled her eyes, did some calculations, and responded softly: "It's been three or four days."
Yun Shang pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Well, it seems it's time. I'll tell Qin Yi later and ask her to come out of the palace to invite her in person."
Ning Qian saw Yun Shang agreeing so happily, but she became a little suspicious: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the ghost doctor?"
Yun Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with the ghost doctor. He is indeed a real ghost doctor."
Ning Qian looked at Yun Shang intently for a long time before blinking slightly: "There is no problem with the ghost doctor, but someone wants to use the ghost doctor to do something to you and Bao'er?"
Seeing Ning Qian's wary look, Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, but someone wants to do this. But don't worry, am I that easy to bully?"
Ning Qian frowned: "Who is it? Xia Houjing? Or Xia Huanyu?"
Yun Shang picked up the tea cup, paused for a moment, and then responded softly: "It's okay, you will know soon."
The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival with a full moon. According to the custom, a family banquet is held in the palace to appreciate the full moon. Yun Shang ordered Aunt Qiu and Aunt Qi to organize it early. The moon appreciation banquet is naturally for appreciation.
On the lunar month, the banquet was held by Luoxia Lake, and the seats of the emperor and empress were placed in the pavilion. The concubines and concubines were seated on two sides of the pavilion, and the princes and princesses were seated behind the concubines.
On August 15th, the moon was full, and red lanterns were hung everywhere. Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, everyone was composing poems about the couplets, and they were having a good time. Yun Shang looked at several younger princesses playing aside,
Then he withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Concubine Wan and said, "Is the dinner for the Nineteenth Prince ready?"
Concubine Wan quickly stood up and responded: "Report to the Queen, it's ready."
When Luo Qingyan heard Yun Shang ask about Nineteenth, she suddenly remembered: "Yes, Brother Nineteen is still in the palace now." After saying that, he turned around and looked at Yun Shang, and said with a smile: "Why are you still calling me
The nineteenth prince is now the prince."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile: "It's my fault that I was negligent." After a pause, he sighed softly and said: "Unfortunately, the nineteenth brother is too weak, and he can't even stand up on weekdays.
It's difficult, otherwise at the age of my nineteenth brother, it would be the time to rejoice everywhere."
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, someone took over: "By the way, isn't the ghost doctor in Jincheng now? The ghost doctor is very skilled in medicine. I heard that he cured many problems within a few days of entering Jincheng.
As for miscellaneous diseases, why not invite a ghost doctor to come into the palace and show it to the Nineteenth Prince? Maybe the Nineteenth Prince's illness can also be cured."
Concubine Wan's face showed a bit of panic: "Hou An's illness has been seen by many imperial doctors in the palace, but they were all helpless. I heard that the ghost doctor's temper is not very good, so it is best not to invite him into the palace.
, Hou An, it’s okay with him.”
Yun Shang's eyes fell on Concubine Wan. What she was afraid of was that when the ghost doctor came, she would expose the Nineteenth Prince's use of prohibited drugs to pretend to be ill. By that time, even if she originally just wanted to keep the Nineteenth away from the struggle
, but it will certainly lead to many unfounded conjectures.
"What are you afraid of? Your Majesty has come forward to invite you, how dare the ghost doctor refuse?" Yun Shang smiled gently. (To be continued)
