Qu Qiuyan also met Doctor Zhang, but Doctor Zhang didn't look at her well. He just glanced at her coldly and walked away.
The last time the two of them dealt with each other was not a pleasant one. Although Qu Qiuyan made amends in the end, it now seems that the effect was not very good.
"It's Doctor Zhang. Didn't Third Sister explain this to Doctor Zhang before?" Qu Moying said lightly, and after calling Yudong, the two of them casually walked down the stairs.
Qu Qiuyan originally wanted to follow, but after thinking about it, she decided to stay. Since the explanation last time was not sufficient, she would explain it again this time.
Since Doctor Zhang was related to Concubine He, she did not dare to offend him, especially at this time. Prince Jing did not tell her the truth, and she was very nervous. She was only told that she would enter Prince Jing's mansion, but her position was not mentioned, and the palace did not give a definite answer.
King Jing initially vaguely said he would marry her, then later said she would be his concubine, and then he said nothing at all. Whenever she mentioned it, he would say her reputation was too bad, and he couldn't say anything now and had to listen to Concubine He.
She had a good reputation in the past. Although her status was a little lower, it could be slightly improved. But recently her reputation has been declining. It was due to her own reasons and also to Yu's. People outside were saying that her position as the principal wife was not obtained in a legitimate way. It might be related to the death of Qu Zhizhen's wife. Otherwise, why would he not tolerate the daughter of his ex-wife who had an eye disease
With such a character, the second wife of the Qu family died in childbirth. The most important thing is that she was not in the house when she gave birth, which has an unclear cause and effect relationship with Yu.
Even if Yu didn't kill him directly, he must have been killed indirectly.
Later, I heard that there were repeated attempts to harm Fourth Miss Qu, and of course Qu Qiuyan was involved. Qu Qiuyan's reputation continued to decline.
Thinking of this, Qu Qiuyan felt very aggrieved and was not in a good mood towards Yu. Since Yu was taken into custody this time, she had only visited her once or twice, and then left secretly.
After waiting for a while at the entrance of the hall, Qu Qiuyan saw two imperial physicians coming out. She took two steps forward and bowed sideways to Doctor Zhang who was walking in the middle.
"Meet Dr. Zhang."
Doctor Zhang frowned. He really didn't like this Third Miss Qu. However, he couldn't ignore her completely since he was in the palace. So he stopped and nodded: "Third Miss Qu, you're too polite."
"How is the Queen Mother's health?" Qu Qiuyan asked softly, with concern in her eyes.
"The Queen Mother's health is still the same. She needs to be treated slowly." Doctor Zhang said calmly.
"Just now, the Concubine walked around a bit and looked at the window. She was making a fuss and refused to take medicine." Qu Qiuyan said with a worried look on her face, "I wonder if the doctor can help the Concubine get better quickly. She is old and her body can't bear it any longer."
Doctor Zhang almost laughed when he heard this, it sounded as if they didn't want Concubine Qu to get better. Even the Emperor had issued an edict, repeatedly asking them to pay more attention to this side and make sure Concubine Qu's illness was cured. Their Imperial Hospital was also doing its best. Several imperial doctors had been stationed here all the time, and several others were discussing prescriptions together, for fear of any mistakes.
When it comes to Miss Qu San, it seems like they are not putting enough effort into it.
Not only was Doctor Zhang unhappy about this, but even the doctor waiting beside him
The young imperial physician standing by was also unhappy.
He glanced at Qu Qiuyan and although she didn't say anything, there was already a hint of coldness in her expression.
"Miss Qu San, we will do our best and report the matter to the emperor. Miss Qu San, please come in!" Doctor Zhang bowed to Qu Qiuyan unceremoniously.
He turned sideways, walked around Qu Qiuyan, and strode away with another imperial physician.
He actually left Qu Qiuyan there.
The meaning of these words was too obvious. The Emperor was already concerned about Concubine Qu's affairs. Who was she, Qu Qiuyan? Why did she come here to make comments and ask questions? She even seemed to doubt the medical skills of the Imperial Hospital.
Seeing the two doctors leave, Qu Qiuyan's face turned red, she was ashamed and angry, then she looked at the two rows of palace maids standing quietly and motionlessly outside the hall, and suddenly she felt that even if they lowered their heads, they must be laughing at her. She couldn't stay there any longer, so she stomped her feet hard and walked down the stairs.
He looked fiercely at Doctor Zhang in front of him. What a blind old man! He was here to express his concern for Concubine Qu and his kindness, but was misunderstood by this hateful old man.
This was not surprising. Qu Qiuyan had fought with Doctor Zhang at the mansion before. No matter what Qu Qiuyan said now, Doctor Zhang would think in another direction. He would never think that Qu Qiuyan was kind or had good intentions. It would be futile for Qu Qiuyan to stay this time.
What's more, Qu Qiuyan was eager to show herself, and her words were indeed not very nice, which made people have many doubts.
Qu Moying ignored Qu Qiuyan. She didn't want Qu Qiuyan to follow her. She said that deliberately just to make Qu Qiuyan stay. Of course, she could also guess that Qu Qiuyan would not end up well.
I'm afraid that Doctor Zhang will never forget what happened at Qu's house. Qu Qiuyan's appearance was enough to make Doctor Zhang retreat.
Qu Moying didn't walk far and chose a pavilion to sit on for a while.
The pavilion has only two floors and is not very high, but when you sit on it, the view in front of you is very open and you can see the scenery at the entrance of the main hall. You can also see Doctor Zhang and another imperial physician bypassing Qu Qiuyan and leaving. Then Qu Qiuyan also came down with Qingju. Concubine Qu was too weak and she really needed to rest at this time.
Everyone knows that it is not appropriate to go in at this time.
Qu Qiuyan looked at the bottom of the stairs and seemed to ask where Qu Moying was going. A palace servant pointed in the direction where Qu Moying was now. Qu Qiuyan squinted her eyes and looked in this direction, then turned and walked out. From her expression, one could tell that she was going to leave Concubine Qu's palace and take a walk outside.
"Miss, Third Miss, are you going out for a walk?" Yu Dong, who was standing next to Qu Moying, also saw this scene and asked in surprise, "This time you came to the palace to visit the Queen Mother, who is ill. Now that the Queen Mother is in such poor health, Third Miss is still going out for a walk?"
There is one thing Yu Dong didn't say. Concubine Qu is a low-key person. She is so low-key that people can't even remember that there is such an old concubine in the palace. If it weren't for the big commotion now, many people probably wouldn't know about her. Given Concubine Qu's personality, she probably wouldn't want others to know or inquire about her affairs.
If Qu Qiuyan goes out like this, people she meets will definitely ask about this matter. Who knows, there may even be people who come to inquire about this specifically because of the emperor's attention. Isn't Qu Qiuyan's going out just giving people an opportunity
Besides, she was here to visit a patient.
She came here to enjoy the scenery. Even though Concubine Qu was so seriously ill, she still had the heart to go outside to slowly enjoy the scenery. It really made people feel that her visit to the palace was just a pretense.
"She also wants to go out and see if there is anyone suitable." Qu Moying smiled slightly and said meaningfully. If there is anyone else in the palace who wants to cause trouble, it would be a perfect match for Qu Qiuyan!
This side of the building was full of windows, and after the curtains were drawn, the view was clear. After Qu Qiuyan got outside, she looked left and right, then chose the middle path and walked out.
The road in the middle is the largest, and there are more opportunities to go out and see people.
Qu Moying stopped paying attention to Qu Qiuyan, turned away from the window, walked to the chair in the middle of the room and sat down, "Yudong, did you take the incense?"
"It's in my sleeve. Miss, do you want to see it now?" Yu Dong also turned back and reached out to gently pinch her sleeve. While the palace maid was not paying attention, the broken incense slipped into her sleeve.
"No need. I'll show it to Madam Miao when I get back. I feel like something is wrong, but I'm not sure. Madam Miao must know something." Qu Moying shook his hand. The incense was taken out and put in. There must be some smell. It's better not to touch it.
From Nanny Miao's words and behavior, it was clear that she had guessed something before entering the palace, but she was not sure at the time, so she did not say anything.
What Qu Moying is certain of now is that there must be something wrong with the incense, but he is puzzled. Who would come to deal with such a low-key toffee
The concubine's health was indeed poor. It could be said that her condition was very poor. When I went in before, I could see that she had no will to live. Later, I used the flowers that she had carefully cared for to make her feel more motivated. She walked around a little and then she became a little more lively.
Qu Moying knew very well the feeling of lying motionless in bed. She had been in this state for many years when she was seriously ill. She looked out the window blankly. In fact, she could not see anything clearly. She just waited for death quietly, without fear or alarm. It could even be said that she felt neither sad nor happy.
That's why Qu Moying used to be so withdrawn, quiet, and unwilling to get close to others.
She just had no desires and no demands. Thinking about it now, Qu Moying felt that she at that time actually wanted to escape from the world of mortals. She was alone in the world, and her blood relatives were so indifferent. She was just a teenage girl, but she felt that she had seen enough of the vanity and human nature of the world.
Her long eyelashes closed slightly, then opened slightly, she exhaled a long breath, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "Let's see, it should be better if I take off the incense, but..."
"But what?" Yudong asked subconsciously.
Qu Moying sneered: "But there may be people who are unwilling to accept this and will light it up!"
Since someone sent this kind of incense, maybe there was someone planted in Concubine Qu's palace by someone else. Even if it was taken away before, it can be brought in again and lit up now with the excuse of getting used to it.
Habit is sometimes a good reason, even without further explanation...
The incense in the palace was not something that ordinary people could have access to. Was the incense sent by Concubine Qu problematic, or was it a problem that only existed in the palace? This was something that made people suspicious...
