In her previous life, Jiang seemed to have died on the incense offering at Baiyun Temple with Princess Qi. She still can't forget the out-of-control carriage, the strong wind on the edge of the cliff, and the woman in front of her who sneered and opened her up and grabbed the cliff. The hand on the side, let her fall into the abyss.
How ugly human nature is, how vicious people are, she learned from Princess Qi.
What she was not sure about before was how much Concubine Xian played in it and whether she participated.
Jiang seemed to think so and looked at Concubine Xian.
Today, many guesses seem to be answered.
Seeing Jiang Shi looking over, Concubine Xian coughed softly, and said weakly, "Go with your fourth sister-in-law, it's just to pray for Lao Qi, the south is not stable..."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xi secretly sneered.
Very good, she is sure now that in her previous life, in addition to Princess Qi, she must have been without Princess Xian.
Listening to Concubine Xian's words, and also dragging Ajin into it, is this because she is afraid that she will reject Concubine Qi
Jiang Si looked at Concubine Xian lightly, and pursed her lips.
Maybe Concubine Xian is the main messenger.
Of course, it doesn't matter to her who is the main messenger of Concubine Xian and Concubine Qi.
Seeing Jiang's smirk but not smiling, Concubine Xian frowned slightly and said feebly, "Old Seventh Daughter-in-law, if you don't want to go out, that's all. The matter of offering incense is about sincerity, and there is no reason to force it."
Jiang Si smiled slightly: "Of course my daughter-in-law is willing to pray for the mother-in-law."
She paid attention to the other party and caught the fleeting smile in Concubine Xian's eyes. It was the kind of relaxed smile, and she couldn't help but feel a little emotional: This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are afraid that she will not be hooked.
"I don't know when the fourth sister-in-law plans to go?" Jiang Si's eyes turned and landed on Princess Qi's face.
Concubine Qi was stared at by these transparent eyes, she felt inexplicably invisible, and her heart was beating uncontrollably.
After that, there was deep regret.
What is she guilty of? It was the mother-in-law who killed Princess Yan, not her. Besides, people like Jiang's are not suitable for occupying Princess Yan's seat.
Thinking of this, Princess Qi's slight guilty conscience dissipated, and she smiled softly at Jiang Si: "It's better to go in two days, or it's convenient to see the seventh siblings."
Jiang Si smiled: "I don't have any inconvenience. It is natural to hurry up to pray for the goddess, so it will be two days later."
Concubine Qi resisted her excitement and nodded: "Seventh younger brother and sister, then let's make a deal. I will wait for you at the gate of Prince Yan's mansion in two days."
She thought it would take some effort to persuade Jiang's thorns, but she didn't expect the other party to agree so easily.
Thinking of this, Princess Qi became more and more confident in her plan two days later.
It's a good omen to start off so smoothly.
Seeing Jiang Si agreed, Concubine Xian was also relieved, rubbed her brows and said, "I'm tired too, you all go back."
Concubine Qi blessed Concubine Xian: "The daughter-in-law will retire there, and the concubine will take care of her health."
Concubine Xian nodded lightly and glanced at Jiang Si.
Jiang Si slightly bent her knees, walked behind Princess Qi, and suddenly returned when she was about to reach the door, which surprised Concubine Xian.
"how?"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "I'm so careless, I forgot to ask what's wrong with the empress."
Concubine Xian's face turned dark, resisting the urge to twitch the corners of her mouth, and said lightly, "It's not a big problem, the imperial doctor said it was a cold."
"Uh, I don't know what's wrong with the lady?"
Concubine Xian was stunned by Jiang Si's question, thinking that she had seen through her pretending to be sick. She looked at the other side carefully and saw that there was no abnormality in the other side, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just fever and headache, cough and cough—"
"That's it, the lady is taking good care of her illness, and I'll come to see you in the palace tomorrow." Jiang Si smiled.
Concubine Xian coughed and said hurriedly, "No need, it won't be too late when you and your fourth sister-in-law have a feast."
Her purpose of pretending to be sick has been achieved, but she doesn't want Jiang Shi to go to the palace more. Jiang Shi is very clever, and if she finds out that she is feigning illness, the planned trip to Shangxiang may change.
What's more, pretending to be sick in public is also labor-intensive—the two daughters-in-law were finally sent away, Concubine Xian thought.
Fever and headache are naturally non-existent. The imperial doctor who diagnosed her was a frequent visitor to Yuquan Palace, and she was regarded as someone who was bought by her.
Some benefits, some insignificant lies, these imperial physicians will not be ignorant to refuse.
"Hongye, bring a glass of water to this palace." Concubine Xian sat up halfway and instructed her maid.
Hongye immediately served a cup of hot water.
Concubine Xian took the water cup, brought it to her lips and took a sip, and suddenly her whole body froze, as if an iron rod was stirring her head.
The sudden sharp pain made her hand loose and the water glass fell, hitting the bedside and soaking the bedding and clothes.
Hongye covered her mouth and whispered, and hurriedly asked, "Niangniang, what's the matter with you?"
Concubine Xian turned pale: "Head, headache—"
Hongye was stunned for a while, unconsciously looking at Concubine Xian's expression.
Niangniang pretended to be sick, of course, as a close maid, she knew it. The external saying was that she had contracted the cold and had a fever and headache. Just now when Princess Yan asked, that's what the empress answered, she was still listening.
"Niangniang, Princess Yan has gone far—" Hongye reminded politely.
Concubine Xian was in pain, and when she heard the words, she was furious and slapped Hongye with her hands, and said angrily, "Billy maid, pass on the imperial doctor!"
She was going to be hurt to death, this bitch actually thought she was pretending, what a shameless thing.
Only then did Hongye realize that Concubine Xian was really in pain, and hurriedly sent someone to pass on the imperial doctor.
Not long after, the imperial doctor hurried over with a medicine box on his back, and what he saw was Concubine Xian lying on the couch with a pale face.
After a severe headache, Concubine Xian was already dripping with cold sweat, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.
"Doctor, let me see what's wrong, I have a terrible headache..."
The imperial doctor's expression was a little strange, and the concubine Xian was too capable of pretending. It was obviously a fake, but she pretended to be so flawless... Ahem, women are really scary.
Thinking like this, the imperial doctor's movements were a little slow.
"Emperor doctor, what are you dawdling at, our empress really hurts badly!" Hongye urged.
The imperial doctor was stunned for a moment, and could not help but look at the red leaves.
Hongye nodded vigorously, implying that the imperial physician was not pretending this time, Concubine Xian.
The imperial physician was busy diagnosing Concubine Xian, and after a while, she said with a strange expression: "It seems that the empress's cold is getting worse, and the fever is worse than before."
It's so strange, Concubine Xian is really hot!
After listening to the doctor's words, Concubine Xian was also stunned, and she couldn't help raising her hand to touch her forehead.
His forehead was hot.
Concubine Xian was completely stunned.
What the hell is going on here
Occasionally feeling a cold, headache and fever, this is a disease she fabricated, but why is it really a headache and fever now
Thinking like this, a sharp and unbearable headache struck again.
