"Drink, drink, what to drink? I have been drinking for so long, why is it not effective at all? Did you do something?" Concubine Li was furious, her face grim.
"The slaves and servants are all decocting medicines according to the imperial physician's instructions, there is absolutely no mistake." The maid knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Then call the imperial physician over to me, I will ask you carefully!" Concubine Li leaned against the head of the bed with a pale face, and scolded again.
In the past, he would have dragged Ji Yang to see her, but now he is eager to get well soon.
"Slave, this is..."
"What's wrong with sister?"
A voice suddenly came from outside the door, and Jiang Yun walked in slowly, looking at Concubine Li on the bed with concern.
Hearing the sound, Concubine Li's complexion calmed down, she sat up straight quickly, and made a posture of getting out of bed to salute, thinking that Jiang Yunqing would let her excuse her, but she came over and did not move, Concubine Li could only dawdle He got off the bed and bowed, saying reluctantly, "I have seen the empress."
Jiang Yun walked forward lightly, helped her up, and said without pain, "My sister is not in good health, so don't salute."
Concubine Li's face turned pale for a while, but she didn't dare to attack, she had to thank, "Thank you, Empress, for your understanding."
Jiang Yun slowly walked to the side and sat down. Ju Hong gave her a cup of tea on the island. She picked it up, took a sip gracefully, and turned her head to look at Concubine Li, "Is my sister feeling better?"
"Go back to Empress Empress, it's much better." Concubine Li answered the words, she had to lower her eyebrows and be pleasing to the eye.
If in the past she could rely on Ji Yang's favor to be a little more arrogant, now Ji Yang runs to Jiaheng Palace every day, and there are many newcomers in the palace. She has no prince under her knees, so she dare not make any more publicity.
"That's good. The emperor asked me to come and see you last night. By the way..." Jiang Yun said lightly and paused for a while, then continued with the twinkling eyes of Concubine Shang Li, "Give the elixir refined by the Taoist priest to you." You send it over."
Concubine Li's elated face turned liver-colored again.
Jiang Yunqing took another sip of tea, "I heard that Taoist priests have superb Taoism, and the elixir has been burned in the stove for three days and three nights, and it will definitely cure my sister's illness."
"...The concubine also hopes to be cured, please trouble the empress." Concubine Li forced a smile.
Deliver it as soon as it is delivered, as long as she doesn't eat it.
Who knows what the hell it is.
"No trouble, the emperor said, I want me to watch my sister eat it, so that I can get better soon. The emperor is also waiting for my sister to open up branches and leaves for him." After Jiang Yunqing finished speaking, he winked at Juhong, The other party stepped forward and opened a box.
In the middle of the box were three black pills the size of longan. They were pitch-black, and their ingredients were unknown.
Li Fei instinctively resisted.
"This is three days' worth, sister, let's eat today's one first." Jiang Yun looked at her with clear eyes, and said with a smile.
"The concubine doesn't want to eat it yet, the empress can put it away for a while..."
"The emperor said that I want my sister to watch my sister eat, and my sister should not make things difficult for me." Jiang Yunqing stood up, a little helpless.
Listen carefully, there is still a bit of momentum that cannot be refused.
Concubine Li has always been domineering and domineering, she looks down on others, and Chen He is valued more and more by the emperor, she doesn't even pay attention to the eldest prince.
A year ago, she deliberately tripped her emperor's son, almost causing him to poke his eyes. She always remembered this revenge, but she wanted to see how capable she was.
Li Fei slowly stretched out her hand to take one, she wrinkled her face, it was very difficult, and fine sweat kept coming out of her forehead.
"Good medicine tastes bitter." Jiang Yun said lightly, and Ju Hong had already poured a glass of water for Concubine Li thoughtfully.
Concubine Li looked at the elixir in front of her eyes, her hands began to shake.
She knew that it wouldn't kill people, but it wasn't a good thing. After all, her brother couldn't guarantee what the Taoist would produce.
Jiang Yun watched coldly, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
As she got closer and closer, smelling the strange smell, Li Fei felt nauseated, her stomach was churning, and she covered her mouth and was about to run out.
Jiang Yun's soft and fluttering words came again, "Sister, the three pills have consumed a lot of medicinal materials in the national treasury, and the emperor is quite worried. My sister should not make the emperor worry more."
Concubine Li gritted her teeth to hold back, threw the elixir into her mouth, took the chrysanthemum water, and drank it abruptly.
Jiang Yun looked at her with a look of resignation to death, and his heart became colder and colder.
"The concubine can't stand this smell, it's really too bad." Concubine Li made an excuse for herself.
"That's right, I also think it smells really bad." Jiang Yun said lightly and raised his fingers, covering his nose slightly.
Concubine Li felt uncomfortable in her stomach, and just wanted to wait for her to leave before vomiting it out. Unexpectedly, instead of leaving, Jiang Yunqing said, "Although the pill is effective, the imperial physician still needs to see it. I asked Chen imperial physician to Come here to show you, it should be here soon."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Li was about to faint, and hated her so much that she gritted her teeth.
When the imperial doctor came, he took the pulse and prescribed medicine, and Jiang Yunqing still asked in detail under the guise of Ji Yang.
After all the tossing, Concubine Li was looking forward to the sky and the earth, but she was expected to go away, closed the palace door, and started to vomit.
After vomiting for a while, all the acidic water came out, but there was no sign of the elixir.
I'm afraid it has been digested.
Concubine Li was so angry that she smashed all the things in the palace, and the maid punished several of them. She was also afraid in her heart after a meal. Her brother, the Taoist priest, could no longer be contacted. Ji Yang was in charge of all of them. I really don’t know what was refined. .
After all, he is not a Taoist priest, he is obviously a charlatan hired by her brother, who specializes in fooling Ji Yang into becoming addicted to alchemy.
at this time.
Jiang Yun listened to Ju Hong's report lightly, the corners of his mouth curled up in a small arc, he didn't say anything, he was sipping tea leisurely.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch A Fu is here to send a message that the Emperor will come to Jiaheng Palace to have a meal with you and the First Prince at night." Ju Hong spoke next to her.
Jiang Yunqing frowned, "Today?"
"Well, do you want to prepare a meal that the emperor likes?" Ju Hong nodded.
"No need." Jiang Yun waved his hand lightly, "Concubine Li will let him pass in a while, he won't come here, no need to prepare."
His beloved concubine has suffered a great deal of grievance and is sick again, so she will let him go if she acts like a spoiled child.
Behind the concubine Ai are the ministers who are highly valued, and it is not their turn.
"Why don't you prepare some? In case the emperor..."
"No chance, you don't believe your lady's words anymore?" Jiang Yunqing interrupted her, "If I say there won't be, there won't be. Just prepare some egg custard that the eldest prince likes."
Big pig's trotters are too busy, and there are many concubines waiting for him to visit.
"...Yes." Ju Hong struggled for a moment, and could only agree.
After a while.
Another court lady trotted forward and said indignantly, "Madam, the emperor was stopped by the maid of Concubine Li on his way to Jiaheng Palace."
"And then?" Ju Hong asked anxiously.
"The emperor changed his way to Suya Palace." The maid looked unhappy.
Jiang Yunqing gave Juhong a look of "I'm right?", stood up and walked indoors, "The dinner will be prepared as I said."
