Chapter 16 Real illness

Concubine Zheng's eyelids twitched more and more, "What is he doing in Yongning Palace?"

It couldn't be what she thought, right? Concubine Zheng guessed a certain possibility, and her face turned pale.

The more you are afraid of something, the more it will come.

The palace attendant hesitated for a moment and whispered, "His Royal Highness Seventh said that if the Queen asks, he will tell her that he went to apologize to the Queen."

Concubine Zheng stared straight at the door, her body motionless.

After a few moments, the surrounding palace people all felt that something was wrong, and Liuxu, who had served Concubine Zheng for many years, couldn't help but step forward.

"Empress? Empress?"

"Someone is coming! Get the imperial doctor quickly."

"Shi Zhu, when I went to Guangming Palace, I said that the empress was unwell..."

"No, there's no need." Concubine Zheng came over slowly, stroking her heart with one hand and almost breaking away from her eyes as she looked at the people blankly, "I..."

Her thoughts took a turn, and her words changed accordingly, "Go and tell Zijin that I have an old illness."

Although Liu Xu didn't understand why her master had an old illness, she still asked Shi Zhu to go to Yongning Palace and personally asked the imperial doctor to come over.

Before the imperial doctor and Xiao Changluo came over, Concubine Zheng was busy smearing powder on her face to make her look sick, and then lay weakly on the bed.

I was thinking in my mind whether this princess from the Yun Kingdom was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

Today, if she hadn't changed her mind in time when she came and quickly found an excuse to leave, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to get through to His Majesty.

Xiao Changluo learned that Concubine Zheng was unwell. Although he was doubtful, when he saw Concubine Zheng lying on the bed with a pale face, and the imperial doctor beside him looked serious, he couldn't help but panic.

The imperial doctor had already taken a hint from Concubine Zheng, and now he tried every means to find out a disease and prescribed a prescription.

Naturally, this recipe should not be used.

But in order to prevent Xiao Changluo from becoming suspicious, Concubine Zheng made a desperate decision and asked Shi Zhu and Liu Xu to give her the bitter medicine for her anger.

The smell of the bitter medicine will make people think that she is seriously ill.

Xiao Changluo had no doubt that he was there. His mother was seriously ill and he hardly left Fuying Tower for a moment.

He couldn't go there in person at Yongning Palace, so he asked his most trusted chamberlain to explain it to him.

The Queen didn't know what Concubine Zheng was doing, so contrary to her previous inaction, she sent someone to deliver a lot of tonics.

In the eyes of Concubine Zheng and everyone in the harem, this was the queen showing weakness to Concubine Zheng.

Such news reached the emperor's ears, and he couldn't help but break off a fine square inkstone.

He exhaled heavily and asked Shou An beside him, "Do you know why the Queen is here?"

Shou'an was in a dilemma, how could he know the Queen's thoughts?

But he still knows how to say nice things, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed with His Majesty for so many years.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. Not only did he save his life, he was also a person whom Your Majesty especially trusted.

Then Shou'an said, "I think the Queen is in love with the house and the bird."

The emperor said nothing and looked at Shou An expressionlessly.

Shou'an was stared at so much that a layer of sweat formed on his back. The germanium-colored palace clothes were soaked with this sweat and became darker in color.

He continued to talk nonsense, "Your Majesty loves Concubine Zheng, and the Queen will naturally care about Concubine Zheng because of Your Majesty."

This is nonsense, after all, the Queen has never cared about Concubine Zheng in the past ten years.

Concubine Zheng couldn't find a chance to frame her, so the Queen's Yongning Palace door was always closed.

Even the concubines paid their respects and the rewards according to the rules were given in front of the imperial physician.

Fortunately, the emperor did not value the queen. Even though the queen's son was the prince, he did not let the emperor look at the queen.

This made Concubine Zheng feel relieved, so she gradually gave up the idea of ​​fighting the queen.

After all, if the queen is deposed, another queen will take over.

And her status as a concubine is already the limit, and she can't go any higher.

Therefore, Concubine Zheng knew very well and had no intention of replacing the queen, let alone replacing someone else as the queen.

The queen doesn't care about her arrogance and domineering, and she doesn't have any feelings for your majesty, which is good.

If a new queen takes over His Majesty's heart, she will cry to death.

After finishing speaking, Shou'an stood there without saying a word.

The clothes on his back were almost soaked. He clutched the whisk in his hand tightly and prepared to quietly raise his head to take a look at His Majesty's face.

"Get out." The emperor suddenly said.

Shou'an felt relieved, held in his breath and left, and continued to breathe outside the gate.

However, he was not completely relieved. At this moment, his heart was always tense, waiting for instructions from inside.

Sure enough, after a while, sounds came from inside.

Shouan quickly went in.

Half a quarter of an hour later, he went out with a sad face and brought over the imperial physician who had prescribed Concubine Zheng.

The imperial doctor was trembling all the way, fearing that the emperor would hold him accountable for Concubine Zheng's pretending to be ill and he helped cover it up.

Unexpectedly, after entering and kneeling, I suddenly heard this sentence coming from above.

"Concubine Zheng is sick?"

"Yes, yes." The imperial doctor did not dare to offend Concubine Zheng, and knowing that the emperor doted on Concubine Zheng, it should not be a big deal just to pretend to be sick.

The emperor pursed his lips, lowered his eyebrows, and continued, "Then just be sick."

The imperial doctor suddenly raised his head, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

"What, you don't understand what I say?"

It was precisely because he understood that he couldn't believe it.

However, the imperial doctor quickly responded, "I obey the order."

But he was still confused about whether the illness arranged for Concubine Zheng was mild or severe.

Just as he was thinking this, the emperor slowly turned around, picked up a new inkstone, and said casually, "It's hot today, Concubine Zheng always wants to cool down, and she is weak..."

The imperial doctor quickly lowered his head and said, "I understand."

From Guangming Palace to the Imperial Physician's Office, the shock and worry in the imperial doctor's heart did not disappear.

He would have preferred that the person on duty at that time was not him, so that he would not have to be pulled over by the palace servants of Fuying Tower to diagnose Concubine Zheng's pulse.

Now you will no longer be in a dilemma.

No matter what, he must obey His Majesty's orders.

So within a day, Concubine Zheng really got cold, and it was quite serious.

According to the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis, because Concubine Zheng was a little weak, her symptoms seemed to be more severe than ordinary wind and cold.

Xiao Changluo wanted to stay in the palace to take care of Concubine Zheng, but then the emperor ordered him to go to the Ministry of War. He even squeezed out the time to eat and drink.

You can only let people around you go to Fuying Tower to visit you every day.

In addition, the emperor ordered people to send a wave of rewards to the Fanghua Palace.

Yun Zhao didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but this did not prevent her from accepting these rewards.

Because the wind and cold had not healed, Shouan said something else when he came over with the reward, saying there was no need to go over to express gratitude.

Concubine Zheng lay on the bed for two and a half days. She couldn't help but feel a little confused when she really caught the cold and the abnormal redness on her face and other pale skin could be disguised without makeup.
