Qu Moying has woken up and is now taking medicated food. The imperial physician is treating him and the main focus is on treatment. He needs to rest for a while and must not continue to be injured like this, otherwise something serious will happen.
Qu Moying took a few bites casually without much appetite. These medicinal foods were what she used in the past, and she had been eating them all the time, but she didn't really like them.
"Your Majesty!"
"Meet the prince."...
Hearing the noise outside and knowing that Pei Yuanjun had returned, Qu Moying waved her hand and the maids all retreated.
Pei Yuanjun walked in, and Ji Hai stayed outside the door. After the maids left, he also took a few steps back. The master and the master did not like to be disturbed when they were inside.
"Is everything okay?" Looking at Pei Yuanjun who was walking over, Qu Moying supported himself with his hands and sat up.
"What could it be? It's just a quarrel between you and me." Pei Yuanjun curled the corners of his thin lips, sat down on the bed, reached out and picked up the medicinal food on the table, "Why didn't you take a few bites? Don't you like it?"
"Always eating these doesn't taste good." Seeing that he was going to feed her, Qu Moying reached out and took it, then drank a few more sips and frowned.
"If you don't like it, don't use it. Ask someone to change it next time." Pei Yuanjun couldn't help laughing when he saw how painful it was for her to eat and how cute her frowning looked.
It’s no big deal, I like to use more and I don’t like to use less.
"Just use it like this for now. Don't change it, at least not for the time being. We have already changed the medicinal diet prescribed by the imperial doctors. If we change it now, it will mess up our family first and make it easy for people to find flaws."
Qu Moying said.
Of course, what happened today was fake. Qu Moying would not use any of Xie's medicines, whether they were good or bad. When it comes to matters concerning one's own health, one must not be careless.
Nanny Miao was also an expert at mixing medicines. She was asked to mix some medicines that looked similar in efficacy to the ones sent by Xie, but were actually harmless. As for the sandalwood, since it was no longer the original medicine, the effect of the incense was almost gone, and it would only make people suspicious when it was lit.
It is not difficult to use medicine to control the pulse, and it is not too difficult to make it beat too fast. In addition, Qu Moying has always been a little weak and has been in poor health since childhood. Later, Yu ignored him. Although the loyal servants around him tried their best to protect him, and Ji Hanyue also supported him, he was not well taken care of after all, and his body was eventually deteriorating.
Now that she is married, all the good things in the British palace have been given to her, and she is slowly recovering.
She was in poor health, her pulse was irregular, and she was unconscious. There were also real problems with Xie's medicine and sandalwood. Putting these things together, the imperial doctors dared not say anything careless. They all felt that they had to treat her carefully, for fear that if they were not careful, the Princess of England would get into trouble.
This is a serious matter that could cost you your life.
Even though the Princess of England is not one of the nobles in the palace, with the King of England around, if anything goes wrong, they will be the ones who will be in trouble in the end, and no one can save them.
Even though the imperial physicians had connections with several nobles in the palace, they knew it was of little use.
At this critical juncture, we must be cautious. I heard that after the British princess woke up, she took some heavy medicine, and then fainted again. She must be treated with warming tonic medicine. Many things that follow will be treated with warming tonic medicine. Even if something goes wrong again, it will have nothing to do with them. At least there will be no danger for the time being.
The Princess of England was weak and could not bear strong medicine. In fact, the previous prescription was quite effective and was not considered a strong medicine.
However, the British princess's body might not be able to withstand it, and in the end everyone felt that it would be more appropriate to use medicated food.
Hearing that the situation was okay, the imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief. However, the condition was more serious. The Princess of England was almost in danger. Fortunately, they went there and many imperial doctors saw the Princess together, which temporarily stabilized her health. However, she was definitely weak and had to take good care of herself in the future, otherwise there would be endless troubles.
"You went to the palace, how was it?" Qu Moying took a few more sips and pushed it to Pei Yuanjun.
"The emperor is angry, and Minister Qu is ill. He needs to stay at home and recuperate for a while." Pei Yuanjun raised his sleepy eyes, revealing a bit of gentleness, "He got sick at the right time."
"Are you sick? What happened today?" Qu Moying was surprised. This reaction was really quick, and there was also some courage to cut off one's own arm.
"I really underestimated Minister Qu before. Not only did he go to the palace to apologize and then submit a petition for sick leave, he also said that if the illness was really serious, he would have to return home to beg for his bones."
Begging for bones to return home
Qu Moying really didn't expect that Qu Zhizhen was the youngest among officials of the same level, but he actually wanted to beg for his remains to return home. The implication of this was that he was relying entirely on the emperor's punishment, and he also didn't want the emperor to bear any bad reputation. After all, this incident happened in the Prince of Ying's Palace, and he acted as if he knew nothing about it.
Pei Yuanjun's bad reputation is largely due to his own reasons. He originally didn't care about other people's eyes. Another part of the reason is that there are many people in secret who don't want to see the good of him. After some things were publicized by others, people felt that Pei Yuanjun was a bad star.
Now, this evil star actually attacked the officials of the dynasty because of a woman. The emperor, because he favored the King of England, disregarded his duties as a monarch and directly dismissed an official. This is unacceptable and it would be difficult to hear if it were spread out. There is no evidence for this matter, and it is only based on everyone's thoughts. In fact, for Qu Zhizhen, it does not constitute evidence of demotion.
Xie took all the responsibility. Although everyone suspected Qu Zhizhen, he expressed his willingness to bear the consequences and be demoted. He was also willing to ask for his bones to be buried, which meant that he had put his entire future in front of the emperor. If the emperor was not satisfied, he could let him return home directly without bearing any bad reputation.
Just for this reason, and in such a short period of time, Qu Moying really admires this cheap father.
Of course, Qu Zhizhen is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
"I have also said that your relationship as father and daughter has ended. There is no need for your two families to have any contact in the future, so as to avoid any such things in the future." Pei Yuanjun's thin lips curled up slightly, and he said with a dim look, "The emperor agreed."
"Promised... Promised?" Qu Moying's watery eyes suddenly widened.
"Of course I agreed. Otherwise, I can't let this prince really beat Minister Qu. No matter what... he still has the title of your father. If he didn't have this title..." Pei Yuanjun chuckled, "There will be a chance next time."
You can’t hit it directly now, but you can do it later.
Qu Moying understood what he meant. Her eyes moved slightly and she suddenly asked, "The Emperor wants to use him?"
If it wasn't for the purpose of employing him, I wouldn't want to accept such a condition. After all, the so-called father-daughter relationship cannot be broken in the eyes of ordinary people.
Even if the father and daughter never have any contact in the future, their relationship will always exist. Even if she dies in the future, she will still be known as Qu's daughter.
The emperor had good intentions in using this sentence to make Pei Yuanjun temporarily calm down.
It's painful.
"In the court, the youngest and most capable are Liu Borui and Minister Qu. The emperor favored Liu Borui at the beginning, but now he should favor Minister Qu more. But now that something like this has happened, the emperor doesn't think it's a big deal."
Pei Yuanjun said disapprovingly, with a hint of contempt in his tone.
"Then let's stop here!" Qu Moying said softly. His adopted father had been planning for so many years and had been behind the scenes. It would not be a simple matter. If he was pushed into a corner, some evil woman might appear. Now that their status was still here, not only Pei Yuanjun could not go too far, but he himself could not go too far either. He could only leave it for another day.
Anyway, it will be soon. Duke Yu will be coming to the capital soon, and his life story will be made public. With what happened today, breaking up with this adopted father is nothing.
Things have gotten to this point, and not only has everyone been making a fuss about it, but it has also come before the Emperor. Naturally, this matter cannot be settled privately.
"When the time comes... will you still not let go?" Qu Moying still had a hint of doubt, a hint of sadness flashed across her watery eyes. She had to consider this aspect.
Her background was made public. Even if she recognized her ancestral roots, Qu Zhizhen would still stick to her family. She couldn't just ruthlessly abandon him, or sever ties with him completely. In the eyes of outsiders, it was the Qu family who raised her, and had been doing so for so many years.
The grace of giving birth is great, and the grace of raising is also great.
Although I was not raised by Qu Zhizhen, as long as he is still the master of the Qu Mansion, I am raised by him. If he insists on using the grace of raising me as an excuse, I will be bound in the future and may even become his shield. Given Qu Zhizhen's personality, I will need to be on guard against his little tricks in private.
A thief can only steal for a thousand days, but he can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days, not to mention that Qu Zhizhen is a...
"If he doesn't want to let go, then chop off his hand." Pei Yuanjun's laughter was icy cold, as if a sharp sword blade was sliding past.
"It's better not to take action if you can. Our grandmother is still here." Qu Moying said softly.
She didn't want Pei Yuanjun to be too involved in this matter. If she couldn't get rid of Qu Zhizhen once, she would do it twice. If two times didn't work, she would do it three times...
If she hadn't had the Madam, she could have been even more ruthless, but now she had her grandmother, and she had to consider her grandmother. Fortunately, her grandmother had gone to the East Palace, so the East and West Palaces should actually be separated...
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Pei Yuanjun saw her worry and softened his voice. He reached out and pressed her shoulders, pushed her back and said, "Lie down for a while."
"Then I must lie down longer this time." Qu Moying smiled brightly.
Pei Yuanjun's handsome face showed a faint smile. The two understood each other's meaning without too many words. "Then you should lie down for a while. You are seriously injured this time. I have also told the emperor that there should not be too many people in the palace. This incident was an accident and it was also because you did not trust me. If you trusted me, how could Xie Shi make trouble?"
"So..." Qu Moying's long eyelashes fluttered twice, and she bit her lip lightly. An indescribable feeling made her not know what to say now. She was expecting something in her heart, but also a little shy. She could feel her heart beating rapidly, at a speed that she had not been able to sense in the past.
"So, I told the emperor that no other mistresses would enter the palace. No one else would be allowed."
Qu Moying smiled, her eyes were soft, these were the most beautiful words she could hear...
