Zhilan's volume was not high enough for Xie Mingxi to hear clearly.
Xie Mingxi frowned slightly and glanced at Queen Mother Yu calmly.
In a few days, they would leave Beijing. Concubine Mei fell ill at this time... which made people suspicious.
Mrs. Yu's face showed just the right amount of surprise, and there was no hint of hypocrisy: "You were fine the past few days, why did you suddenly fall ill?"
Zhilan responded softly: "This servant doesn't know anything either. Aunt Qinse is in a hurry and can't explain clearly. I'd like to ask the Queen Mother to tell me whether to ask the imperial doctor to go."
Empress Dowager Yu paused and said, "Go and talk to the envoy from Zhao Yuan and ask him to go and check on Concubine Mei personally. If there is no serious problem, prescribe some medicine so that Concubine Mei can get better soon. Don't delay leaving the palace to go to Shu."
"
Given Empress Dowager Yu's sophistication, it was obviously impossible to find out the truth from her face.
Xie Mingxi's mind was spinning and she stood up: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is bold and wants to visit Hanxiang Palace to visit Concubine Mei."
Empress Dowager Yu did not make things difficult and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yuhan also stood up unexpectedly: "Seventh younger brother and sister, I will go to Hanxiang Palace with you."
Xiao Yuhan, the queen of the middle palace, is just a showman. In front of her sisters-in-law, she doesn't even bother to call herself her own palace.
Xiao Yuhan was going, and Yin Xiaoxiao refused to stay idle and wanted to go together. Zhao Changqing was the most diplomatic and would not fall behind others. Li Xiangru, probably wanting to watch the excitement, also stood up.
As soon as a group of people left Jiaofang Hall, they saw Sheng Hong coming towards them.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the sun is shining brightly.
Under the hot and bright sunshine, the young man walked quickly in plain clothes, his handsome face shining in the sun.
Even if he is used to seeing the King of Shu's beauty, he still feels dazzled at this moment.
The elder sisters-in-law couldn't help but take a second look, and then silently withdrew their gazes.
Sheng Hong came quickly, the smile in his eyes condensed when he saw Xie Mingxi's slightly frowning: "Mingxi, what happened?"
Xie Mingxi replied in a low voice: "Princess Mei is ill."
Sheng Hong couldn't laugh anymore, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Obviously, he and Xie Mingxi thought of going together.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world? I was about to leave the palace, but I fell ill at this critical moment... Was it Empress Dowager Yu? Or was it the work of Emperor Jian'an? Or was it the other vassal kings?
Sheng Hong suppressed the anger in his heart and held Xie Mingxi's hand: "Let's go to Hanxiang Palace together."
…
Hanxiang Palace.
After Qin Se delivered the letter, she turned around and stepped into the bedroom. Sheng Hong and others entered Hanxiang Palace.
Concubine Mei struggled to get up and stay on the bed, Qin Se hurriedly comforted Concubine Mei: "Your Majesty, please don't get excited, lie down peacefully, and I will go to greet you."
Qin Se only thought that Princess Shu would come, but she never expected that even Queen Xiao would come. She was immediately startled and hurriedly bowed to salute.
Sheng Hong had no intention of talking or asking questions, and stepped into the bedroom: "Mother Concubine!"
Concubine Mei, who looked gloomy, immediately had red eyes when she heard Sheng Hong's voice, but said: "I just feel unwell occasionally, I can just drink some medicine to recover for a few days, why are you alarmed?"
Yes. You are busy now, so don’t worry about me."
The love for one's son is beyond words.
Sheng Hong's nose was full of sourness, and his voice was a little low: "For the son, the body of the mother is more important than anything else. The sooner the mother takes good care of her body, the son can invite her to leave the palace and go to the feudal lord together.
land."
Mrs. Mei let out a choked sigh, and tears fell down unsatisfactorily.
While in the palace, Concubine Mei had gone through many vicissitudes of life. She had seen all kinds of ups and downs. This illness came very strangely, and she knew it well.
This is because some people don't want to see her leave the palace.
She is a concubine of no importance, but she involves the King of Shu and his wife. If she leaves the palace, the King of Shu and his wife will have no worries. If she is left in the palace for a day, the King of Shu and his wife will have to be cautious...
She can no longer leave the palace and the capital.
Right now, she has to live well. Otherwise, if something happens, the King of Shu will be hindered.
The king of Shu spent so much effort before he could become a vassal.
She must not become a pawn to harm her son.
After Tai Fei Mei made up her mind, she suppressed the sadness, sorrow, anger and unwillingness in her heart, and said softly: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry about me. I have always been weak, and I get sick from time to time. I have long been used to it, and I won't
What's the big deal?"
Of course, if she insists on wanting to leave the palace, it's hard to say whether there will be "serious problems".
At this moment, Xie Mingxi and others also entered the dormitory.
Concubine Mei did not expect that the queen would come in person and wanted to stay at the hotel to pay her respects. Xiao Yuhan immediately stepped forward and comforted her softly: "The concubine is not feeling well, so please don't move in vain."
As her biological daughter-in-law, Xie Mingxi stepped forward and comforted her softly: "Yes! Your Majesty, I just need to rest." He glanced at Mrs. Mei and looked at her quickly.
Concubine Mei was already frail, but now she abides by her filial piety and adopts a vegetarian diet. It is too easy to make such a frail woman "sick"...
At this moment, Xie Mingxi and Mei Taifei had a clear understanding and thought of something.
It seems that someone is unwilling to let Concubine Mei leave the palace!
…
The envoy from Zhao Yuan personally came to prescribe Concubine Mei's illness.
Xie Mingxi pretended to take the prescription and read it casually.
No one knew that Xie Mingxi was proficient in medicine and good at dispensing medicine, and no one raised any suspicion. Sheng Hong knew it well, and after Xie Mingxi looked at it, he opened his mouth and asked: "How about the prescription?"
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "The prescription prescribed by Director Zhao is certainly excellent."
Sheng Hong understood in his heart.
It seems that there is no big problem with the prescription.
All prescriptions prescribed by imperial physicians are kept on file. Once a mistake is made, the first imperial physician who diagnoses and prescribes the medicine will be unlucky. Therefore, the imperial physicians are extremely cautious when examining and prescribing medicines for the concubines in the palace.
Most of the prescriptions are mild and mainly warming and tonic.
The prescription prescribed by Zhao Yuanshi is also of this kind. Speaking of effectiveness, of course it is there, but it is the kind of peace prescription that takes two or three months to take effect. If you take this kind of prescription, Mrs. Mei will never even think about it.
Out of the palace.
Xie Mingxi winked at Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong nodded slightly.
After Xiao Yuhan and others left, Sheng Hong came to the bed and whispered: "Concubine, Mingxi will also prescribe prescriptions for treatment."
Concubine Mei was startled and looked at Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi still had the same smiling and calm look, unable to see clearly the emotions or anger: "If the mother-in-law can trust her daughter-in-law, how about asking the daughter-in-law to diagnose the mother-in-law's pulse and prescribe prescriptions?"
Mrs. Mei: "..."
Concubine Mei couldn't react in time and nodded blankly. She was still dizzy until Xie Mingxi sat down by the bed and held her wrist.
It is rumored that Xie Mingxi is a rare reading genius, a gentleman who is good at all six arts. How can he even see a doctor and prescribe prescriptions?
After marrying such a smart and capable daughter-in-law, will my son still be able to live a successful life?
