Concubine Mei's complicated and contradictory thoughts were not fully revealed.
Xie Mingxi first carefully looked at Zhao Yuanshi's previous medical records and diagnosis, and then adjusted the prescription. Two of the warm and tonic herbs were replaced with ones that were more effective.
"In Hanxiang Palace, I can only trust one person, Qin Se." Concubine Mei whispered in embarrassment: "It is not easy to change the prescription. I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from others."
Xie Mingxi glanced at the ashamed Mrs. Mei and said calmly: "I'm not just afraid, but I definitely can't hide it from others. When you go to Taiyuan Hospital to get medicinal materials, you have to get them according to the prescription. The prescription I prescribed contains several medicinal herbs and Zhao Yuan
Make the prescription different.”
Concubine Mei looked worried: "What should we do?"
Xie Mingxi said casually: "Concubine, there is no need to be embarrassed. For the medicine prescribed by Yuan Zhao, just ask someone to bring it back according to the prescription, and then secretly throw it away after boiling it."
"After I return home, I will prepare all the medicinal materials and prepare a bottle of pills for my concubine. Tomorrow I will send Xianghui to the palace to deliver some supplements to hide the secret. Concubine can take it secretly three times a day."
"For the sake of safety, this matter must not be known to anyone except Qin Se."
With her daughter-in-law being so attentive and thoughtful, Mrs. Mei had nothing to say other than being convinced and nodded silently.
Seeing Concubine Mei's worried look, Sheng Hong comforted her in a low voice: "Don't worry, Concubine Mingxi, the medicine prepared by Mingxi will definitely be effective. In a few days, Concubine Mei's illness will be cured. At that time, I will ask Mother again
The concubine leaves the palace."
Mrs. Mei forced out a smile.
Men are always more careless and not as careful and sensitive as women.
At this moment, Sheng Hong only thought that Mei Taifei was worried that her illness would not get better in time. Little did he know that what Mei Taifei was really worried about was that she would be a drag on her son and become his son's lifeline.
Xie Mingxi was vaguely aware of Mrs. Mei's thoughts, but said nothing.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are separated by a layer of belly, and most of them can't get close to each other. What's more, she, the daughter-in-law, has almost never gotten along with her mother-in-law. To say that they have a deep affection is too false and forced.
…
Because of Concubine Mei's sudden illness, Sheng Hong's joyful mood was suddenly cast a shadow.
That night, Xie Mingxi stayed up late to prepare the medicine.
Sheng Hong insisted on helping him and stayed up all night with him.
Near dawn, the pills were prepared. They were white, the size of peanuts, and exuded a faint aroma. There were thirty pills in total, which was exactly ten days' worth.
After staying up all night, Xie Mingxi could still hold on. Except for some bloodshot eyes, there was nothing unusual.
"Mingxi, thank you for your hard work." Sheng Hong whispered distressed and apologetically: "For the sake of my mother and concubine, I made you work so hard."
Xie Mingxi smiled nonchalantly: "This is nothing. In the past, I often stayed up late to prepare medicine. Furthermore, since I am married to you, your mother is my mother. Doing small things for my mother-in-law,
That’s what it should be.”
Sheng Hong hugged Xie Mingxi tightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Mingxi, you are so kind to me."
Xie Mingxi has such a cold temperament, and she won't be merciful at all when her own father and mother mess with her. It's all because of him that she is so kind to Mrs. Mei now.
It is precisely because we know Xie Mingxi's temper that we know how rare such a move is.
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled softly, and snuggled into Sheng Hong's arms: "I only have you as my husband. If I don't treat you well, who will I treat better?"
Sheng Hong was very pleased with it first, but when he tasted it carefully, he immediately felt something was wrong and became jealous: "What do you mean by this? Do you still want to remarry?"
A smile flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes, and she said slowly: "If you don't want me to remarry, you can live a long life in peace. If you leave before me, no wonder I don't keep my husband's integrity."
Sheng Hong: "..."
This must be the most heart-wrenching love story in the world.
Sheng Hong said fiercely: "Of course I will live longer than anyone else. I will also pester you for the rest of my life. Don't even think about remarrying. Just be my Princess of Shu!"
After saying that, he kissed Xie Mingxi's lips fiercely.
…
Xianghui, on the order of the King of Shu, sent a bunch of supplements to Hanxiang Palace. Bird's nests, ginseng, etc. were all packed in brocade boxes. After being sent to Hanxiang Palace, they were inevitably inspected.
The bottle of medicine was stuffed into the secret pocket in Xianghui's sleeve.
It wasn't until Concubine Mei and Qin Se were the only two people left in the dormitory that Xianghui took out the porcelain vase.
Xianghui put the porcelain bottle into Qin Se's hand and whispered: "Take one pill three times a day after meals. You must put this bottle of medicine away and never let anyone see it."
Qin Se nodded in agreement.
Xianghui then said softly to Concubine Mei: "My dear concubine, it is inconvenient for His Highness the King of Shu and the Princess of Shu to visit the palace from time to time. However, His Highness is always thinking about the empress in his heart, and the Princess of Shu is also very concerned about the health of the empress."
"Your Majesty, you must remember Princess Shu's advice and take medicine on time every day. You will be cured within ten days."
"Ten days later, His Highness will go to the Jiaofang Palace to ask for the Queen Mother, and then take the Queen Mother to the Prince of Shu's Mansion to stay for a few days, and then leave the capital together."
Concubine Mei's eyes flashed with extremely complicated glimmers, and she nodded lightly.
Hanxiang Palace has been silent for many years, and Concubine Mei is not an important figure in the palace. Logically speaking, no one should care about her when she is sick.
The truth is just the opposite.
Empress Dowager Yu sent Zhilan to watch the last episode every day.
Empress Xiao also sent people to visit her every day.
Princess Lu, Princess Ning, Princess Fujian, and Princess Shu also came to visit in turn. Concubine Jing, Concubine Xian, Concubine Li, also came to visit.
Suddenly, Hanxiang Palace became lively.
However, most of the people who came to visit were to test the condition of Concubine Mei. What everyone was most concerned about was whether Concubine Mei could leave the palace safely and go to the feudal land with the King of Shu.
As for Concubine Mei's health, I'm afraid not many people really care.
…
Time flies and ten days pass.
No one expected that Princess Mei's illness not only did not improve, but actually worsened due to the cold.
It was now the sixth month, and the time for the King of Shu to join the vassal state was approaching. Concubine Mei was so ill that it was impossible for her to join the King of Shu and join the vassal state.
His Royal Highness the King of Shu was so anxious that he personally went to Hanxiang Palace to visit the patient.
Princess Shu also entered Hanxiang Palace together.
Concubine Mei, who had a withered complexion, was lying on the bed sickly. Seeing her son and daughter-in-law coming, her eyes showed some comfort. She said in a low voice: "Hong'er, my body is really useless. There is nothing I can do about it."
Now that I have left the palace, I cannot follow you to the feudal territory."
Sheng Hong was so heartbroken that he almost bled. He held Mei Tai Fei's hand tightly and shed two tears.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Mrs. Mei's frail and sick face, and said lightly: "Qin Se will stay and wait for you, and everyone else will leave."
After everyone had left, Xie Mingxi said calmly: "Have you ever listened to me and taken your medicine on time?"
