The next day, Eunuch Wei went to Hanxiang Palace again.
Concubine Mei, with red and swollen eyes and a haggard face, asked eagerly: "Where is the Emperor?"
Eunuch Wei looked embarrassed and repeated what Sheng Hong had said: "...The emperor also said that please rest in peace and recuperate, and don't worry too much about it. All matters in the harem are decided by the empress, and so is the concubine.
Don’t worry.”
Mrs. Mei: "..."
Concubine Mei's heart suddenly became cold and she couldn't even cry anymore.
This Xie Mingxi completely won Sheng Hong's heart.
Sure enough, he married a daughter-in-law and forgot about his mother! Sheng Hong let his daughter-in-law rub him against his mother.
Damn Xie Mingxi, damn Xie Mingxi. What kind of drug was given to Sheng Hong to separate mother and son...
Concubine Mei was about to cry but had no tears. She just sat there in a daze, like a wooden sculpture.
Eunuch Wei couldn't bear to look at Concubine Mei's pitiful appearance and stood there with his head lowered for a moment. Without waiting for Concubine Mei's instructions, Eunuch Wei took the initiative to leave.
Without the harp, Luomei is now at his personal service.
Luo Mei served Concubine Mei gently, without saying a word.
There was silence in Hanxiang Palace.
It was like this for several days.
…
The emperor was busy with state affairs and had no time to come to visit the patient. Empress Xie was busy with affairs in the harem recently and did not come to see the patient. The emperor and empress sent people around her three times a day to pay their respects.
There are no fools in the harem. It is too late for the concubines to avoid the limelight, and no one will take the initiative to get close to Concubine Mei at this time. Zhao Changqing is closely related to the middle palace, and he will not take the side of Concubine Mei.
On the other hand, Xiao Yuhan and Yin Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to see Concubine Mei so isolated and pitiful, so they came to visit her together.
No matter how angry Mrs. Mei was, she would not criticize Xie Mingxi in front of the two of them. On the contrary, she felt even more aggrieved. She cried several times every day, and her voice was already hoarse from crying.
The imperial doctor had no choice but to prescribe medicine for Concubine Mei to clear away heat and eliminate internal heat. However, no matter how much medicine she drank, it could not relieve the pain in Concubine Mei's heart. Instead of relieving her symptoms, the symptoms gradually worsened.
Concubine Mei could not even get out of her hospital bed, so she lay on the bed all day long to recuperate.
Half a month later, the emperor finally came.
When Luomei came to report, Concubine Mei couldn't bear to be angry and cried with joy: "Let the emperor come in quickly."
Sheng Hong stepped in.
Appearing with Sheng Hong, there was also a familiar figure.
The joy on Mrs. Mei's face turned into anger when she saw Xie Mingxi: "Xie Mingxi, the Ai family doesn't want to see you! Get out of the Hanxiang Palace for the Ai family!"
Xie Mingxi's brows did not move, and before she said anything, Sheng Hong's face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "My mother doesn't want to see the queen, she just doesn't want to see me. The queen and I will leave now, so that we won't be in the mother's eyes."
"When did the mother-in-law figure it out? When will we come again?"
After saying that, he held Xie Mingxi's hand and turned to leave.
Mrs. Mei: "..."
Mrs. Mei was dumbfounded. After a long time, she burst out with a heart-breaking cry.
…
Like this, another half month has passed.
The news that Concubine Mei was seriously ill reached the Jiaofang Palace.
Gu Shanchang also felt a little uncomfortable and whispered: "Mingxi, Princess Mei is seriously ill, so don't let her illness cause any harm."
Xie Mingxi used various means to suppress Mei Taifei, and Gu Shanchang knew it very well. It would be best if Mei Taifei just surrendered and bowed her head. What if Mei Taifei became stubborn and continued to fight with Xie Mingxi to the end, risking her own life?
Going in would not be a good thing for Xie Mingxi.
Not to mention the damage to the reputation of Zhonggong, the relationship between husband and wife will also be greatly hurt by this incident.
Even though Sheng Hong's heart is as cold as iron now, once Mrs. Mei has something wrong with her, this thorn will pierce Sheng Hong's heart.
Seeing Gu Shanchang's worried look, Xie Mingxi felt warm in her heart and said softly: "Master, don't worry, I will act in a measured manner and will not force my mother and concubine to the point of life or death."
This kind of friction is not even 20% as good as the one used against Queen Mother Yu back then.
Even though Mei Taifei cries all day long, in fact, Mei Taifei always shows a soft face and posture. This does not mean that Mei Taifei is so weak.
Otherwise, Mrs. Mei would not be alive today.
Chief Gu Shan was still a little worried: "Otherwise, another imperial physician with excellent medical skills can be sent to see and prescribe a prescription for Concubine Mei. Perhaps Concubine Mei can recover faster."
Xie Mingxi twitched the corners of her lips and said calmly: "I sent envoy Zhou to go there half a month ago. However, my mother-in-law insisted on letting Dr. Li check her."
Concubine Mei had already secretly bribed Dr. Li to describe a three-part illness as a seven-part illness. Naturally, the so-called serious illness could not be fully believed.
Gu Shanchang understood the meaning of Xie Mingxi's words, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang Hui walked in and reported softly: "To report to the Queen, the maid serving Qin Se came to report that Qin Se has recovered from her illness and wants to return to Hanxiang Palace. I wonder if the Queen agrees?"
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly and she said calmly: "Xuan Qinse came to see you."
Xianghui should be respectful.
…
That night, Qin Se returned to Hanxiang Palace.
After being ill for more than a month, Qin Se lost a lot of weight and had wrinkles between her eyebrows.
Concubine Mei was even more miserable, looking haggard and haggard.
Luomei listened to the warning and did not stand aside to obstruct the eyes. She retreated out together with the other maids.
When Concubine Mei and Master Qinse met, they didn't say anything. They hugged each other and cried a lot. The sadness and pain that had been accumulated in their hearts poured out with tears.
After crying for more than an hour, the master and servant finally calmed down a little and started talking in hoarse voices.
"The High Concubine," Qin Se's voice was full of bitterness: "These days, I have never been worried about the Queen. When I recover from my illness, the first thing I do is to beg the Queen to come back to Hanxiang Palace."
"The Queen has announced that I will pay my respects to you. Please give me some comfort. If I can persuade you to change your mind, I will be able to stay in Hanxiang Palace peacefully. Otherwise, I will never have the chance to serve you."
"I beg you, the Queen, please stop arguing with the Queen. This world belongs to the Emperor. This harem is the Queen's harem. As a Princess, she should enjoy all the honors and support the world.
Nian. Why bother to have such a quarrel with the Queen that the Emperor is also separated from the Queen?"
"My slave, I would like to advise you, let me go when it's time to let go!"
If someone else said this, Mrs. Mei might not be able to hear a word of it.
Qin Se opened her mouth, but Princess Mei did not become angry. She only choked and said: "Qin Se, I am alone these days, and my heart is too painful."
"How many years can I live at my age?"
"I fully hoped that the emperor would have an heir as soon as possible, but he didn't appreciate it. Now I have fallen out with my own mother."
"That's all, I can't control them anymore. From now on, whatever they like to do, I won't care about anything."
