When the emperor heard these words, he was almost angry to death. He did not doubt the queen's intention, but seeing the empress dowager and the queen looking at him like that, he felt a little nervous.
I could only look at the two of them and explain, "That's not what I meant."
The queen snorted coldly: "That's not what you mean? Then what do you mean? Who in the harem dares to touch your heart?"
Seeing the queen pursuing him so relentlessly, the emperor was also a little troubled. He couldn't understand why the queen had become so aggressive now? Wasn't everything fine in the past few years
She took a deep breath. This was not the time to get angry with the queen. She just glanced at the eunuch beside her and said, "Go, invite Princess Yongxi to the palace."
The Queen Mother frowned. Let Xiaoman treat the imperial concubine? Are you sure Xiaoman won't take the opportunity to kill the imperial concubine? But no matter what, the Queen Mother didn't stop it.
The Queen frowned when she heard this: "Why? The entire Imperial Medical Bureau can't save the Imperial Concubine? Princess Yongxi needs to ask herself to rest?"
"If Princess Yongxi is also helpless, does the emperor plan to invite Sixth Brother's wife back as well?"
The emperor was very upset. He wanted to, but he knew he couldn't invite her back. Even if he did, it would be too late.
The emperor was so upset that he didn't want to pay any attention to the queen. He turned around and went to find the imperial doctors. In the room, a group of imperial doctors took the imperial concubine's pulse.
But there was no way to reduce her temperature, and they were worried that if they used too strong a drug, the imperial concubine would be killed, so everyone looked at each other and no one dared to make a decision.
When the emperor walked in, he saw the doctors staring at him, "What are you doing? Just prescribe medicine after you've examined me."
"How is the concubine?"
The imperial doctors looked at each other, none of them dared to speak. The emperor was really furious now, and no one dared to say anything until the emperor opened his mouth and shouted.
"Housekeeper, tell me, you are a housekeeper, can't you even cure a cold?"
The hospital clerk was so heartbroken. Who said it couldn't be cured? If it was an ordinary person, she would just be given a fever-reducing pill and the fever would go away.
If they couldn't retreat, they would die. But the person in front of them was the imperial concubine. Would they dare? The most important thing was that when the first imperial physician came, the imperial concubine had already been given antipyretic medicine.
But it didn't work at all, so it scared the group of imperial doctors. The emperor had a gloomy face, and the imperial doctors were even more frightened. After the little eunuch left the palace.
He rode straight to find Xiaoman, who was having a great time. When he saw the eunuch, he was about to go down the mountain: "Are you the eunuch next to the emperor?"
"What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
After the eunuch paid his respects to Xiaoman, he explained the purpose of his visit: "Hello, County Lady. My Lord, the Imperial Concubine is seriously ill, and the Emperor has asked me to come and ask you to rescue her."
Xiao Man thought there was something wrong with her ears, and looked at the eunuch: "You're right? Let me save the imperial concubine?"
The eunuch looked at Xiaoman and knew that Xiaoman would be unwilling, but the emperor asked him to ask her to go back, and there was some worry on his face.
Still, she said boldly, "Yes, county lady, the emperor has ordered you to go to the palace to treat the imperial concubine."
Xiao Man curled her lips and snorted twice: "As expected, men always value women over friendship. Save her, but I want to go and see if this imperial concubine is really dying."
After hearing these words, the young eunuch wished he could wrap himself up in a ball and pretend he had heard nothing. Then he came out of the mountain and went to the villa.
After finding a horse, Gu Xiangning's voice came over: "Wait a minute, Xiaoman, I'll go with you."
Xiaoman turned to look at Gu Xiangning: "Do you think I will let you be free alone? Hurry up, Siqi, come with me, Siyu, take the rest of the people to protect the master and mistress, especially the two young masters."
Gu Xiangning raised his eyebrows. In fact, he had secretly sent some secret guards to protect the Chen family. However, he did not stop Xiaoman. After all, Xiaoman had offended many people when he came back.
It would be nice to have more people to protect Xiaoman's family. Thinking of this, Xiaoman rode his horse forward, and Gu Xiangning followed immediately.
The two men rode back to the palace at full speed. At this time, the imperial doctors were all kneeling on the ground. They prescribed medicine and began to boil it. However, the imperial concubine's fever did not go down after drinking it.
Xiaoman arrived very quickly. Seeing that the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Queen were all there, she bowed and saluted: "Greetings to the Emperor, Queen Dowager, and Queen."
The emperor frowned and looked at Xiaoman: "Don't talk about these empty formalities for now, go in and see how the imperial concubine is doing."
Xiaoman looked at the emperor's anxious look and felt a little strange. Why did the emperor care so much about this imperial concubine? But now was not the time to think about this.
He rushed in directly and began to feel the pulse of the imperial concubine. Then he understood. The emperor followed him in and looked at Xiaoman: "How is it? How is the imperial concubine?"
Xiao Man raised an eyebrow: "He won't die, he will just suffer. It's all his own fault. Have someone prepare a large bucket of warm water. I'll go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine."
After he finished speaking, he walked out. The emperor followed Xiaoman and said, "Are you saying that the imperial concubine is not seriously ill?"
Xiaoman nodded: "It's true that the illness is not serious. Anyway, he won't die. Your doctors should go to the Health Hall to learn. But it's also true that they are afraid of taking responsibility."
After saying that, Xiaoman went straight to the pharmacy in the palace and started to prepare medicine for the imperial concubine, while the emperor looked at the imperial doctors in front of him.
He slapped the table and said, "What else can you imperial doctors say now? The entire Imperial Medical Bureau is not as good as Princess Yongxi alone."
When the court envoy heard the emperor's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, who is the county lady? Let alone our small Imperial Medical Bureau, I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can be as good as the county lady."
The director of the hospital was a man of integrity, but the first imperial physician who came to see him was so frightened that his legs were shaking and he fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again."
The emperor frowned and looked at the man: "What do you mean? Explain yourself to me clearly."
The man seemed to be frightened, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I deserve to die. It's all my fault. I dare not prescribe medicine for the queen."
"It is my fault that Your Majesty has fallen into danger. Your Majesty is wise. It was the Empress who captured my family to threaten me."
"Your Majesty, I am not allowed to prescribe medicine for the Empress. Please save my family, Your Majesty..."
Seeing the imperial physician crying so sadly, the emperor was furious. He had thought of this possibility just now, but he gave it up because of the queen's words.
Unexpectedly, the imperial physician confessed himself. The emperor looked at the queen with an unpleasant expression: "Queen, do you have anything else to say?"
The Queen looked at the Emperor's expression and said, "Your Majesty did not even give me a chance to explain. Are you going to convict me just because of what an imperial physician said?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment. It seemed to be true when he heard it this way. The imperial physician saw that the emperor was wavering again and rushed towards the queen.
"Please spare my life, Queen. My family members are all innocent."
The Empress glanced at the imperial physician and said, "You are a loyal imperial physician, but you are willing to abandon your entire family just to frame me."
The imperial physician was obviously a little surprised when he heard the queen's words: "What do you mean, madam? Your Majesty, I have done everything you said and did not prescribe medicine for the imperial concubine."
"Her condition has become so serious that she needs the County Lady to treat her. It was the County Lady who ruined your good deeds, so I cannot blame you. Please, Your Majesty, let my family go."
Seeing that the queen was still quibbling, the emperor could not help but shout, "You are still quibbling. If it wasn't you, why would the imperial physician keep nagging you?"
The queen looked at the emperor as if he were an idiot: "So, Your Majesty has determined that it was me who did it. How do you plan to punish me then?"
When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Not to mention that the position of queen was conferred by the previous emperor, even Xiaoman and others would not allow him to depose her.
Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly felt powerless: "Go back to your palace and be confined to your room for a month."
The queen suddenly smiled and looked at the imperial concubine who was still lying on the bed: "Imperial concubine, you never thought that this is not enough to pull me down from the queen's seat."
"Your life is only worth a month of house arrest by me, but after this month, don't blame me for being rude."
The imperial concubine on the sickbed had actually woken up, but she just didn't open her eyes. Listening to the queen's words, she secretly resented herself in her heart, "If I can put you under house arrest, I can also make you get out of here in the future."
She is just being arrogant because she has a backer! The emperor did not expect the queen to be so arrogant. He looked at the queen with a look of shock.
"Queen, you are so outrageous!"
The queen pouted and said, "Your Majesty, you are so stupid. I will return to the palace and be confined. Don't bother me unless necessary. Especially the concubine on the bed. I will beat her every time I see her in the future."
After she finished speaking, she left in a swagger. The emperor was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a queen before, and he was stunned for a moment.
The imperial doctors were all confused when they saw the queen being so arrogant. Wasn't it said that the queen was out of favor? Why did she say this in front of the emperor and said that the emperor was fine
And even if the Emperor thought that the Queen almost killed the Imperial Concubine, he only confined her to her house for a month. The imperial doctors were completely confused. Who was more favored, the Queen or the Imperial Concubine
Not to mention the imperial doctors, even the emperor himself didn't know which one he favored. Although he felt that he hated the queen, he had never done anything excessive to her.
Of course, this is the emperor's self-perception. In the eyes of the queen, distrust of her is the most excessive thing the emperor has ever done.
