"Your Majesty, don't patronize Sister Xu, but also pay attention to the sisters beside you?"

The queen joked with a smile.

"You are all the old people around me, and you all have merit. Six blessings, and an additional 10% of the tribute reward at the end of the year, so that they can all have a good year."

"yes"

Liufu smiled uglier than crying.

I thought to myself, Your Majesty, where can there be so many good things?

Empress Xu picked up all the tribute items from various places in the southeast, northwest and several subordinate countries.

You can't give the rest to the Queen, right?

The old emperor obviously didn't think of this, he just thought that these old ladies were enough.

If I hadn't been in the palace for so many years and stayed obedient and didn't cause trouble, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have this.

A woman is worthless if she can't make him happy.

Those who are worthless should be buried.

Living is a skill, and dying is not a loss.

Seeing the emperor's perfunctory look, the queen tightened her sleeves and looked deeply.

The concubines felt even worse.

If the smiles before had any hint of sincerity and expectation, this time they couldn't even squeeze out a smile, and one or two of them had stiff faces.

Only singing, dancing, flutes and flutes were playing in the air.

——

After the meeting, the old emperor went to the palace of Qianqing with his beloved concubine Xu in his arms.

When he was in high spirits, Liufu came in with the book handed over by the queen.

It is clearly written on it, please ask Jin Mei people Zhao and Jieyu Li to be the third-grade concubines.

The old emperor hesitated for a long time before he was reluctant to sign the word "accurate".

When he left with the return fold, Liufu couldn't help but look back at Mr. Xu.

The alarm bells were ringing in my heart, I was afraid that things were going to change in this harem.

Xu concubines were favored one after another.

Even the Queen was unable to resist the attack.

At the New Year's Eve banquet, Xu passed over the queen and sat directly on the emperor's right hand side to enjoy the banquet.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they went to the ancestor hall to worship their ancestors. The Xu family passed over the queen and worshiped their ancestors side by side with the emperor.

In the afternoon, there was a state banquet at the Jiaotai Palace. The emperor held a banquet for all officials and royal family members. At the same time, the queen held a banquet at Jiaofang Palace to entertain imperial orders.

Separate seats for men and women.

This time Xu finally returned to her concubines.

But in less than half an hour, he was summoned away by the emperor, saying that he could not leave there for a moment, and the food was not good and the wine was not good enough.

When Mrs. Xu followed Liufu and left without looking back.

The Queen's patience finally reached its limit.

"That's enough Fangrui, it's time to reach my bottom line."

Fangrui couldn't see it for a long time, so he stepped forward and bowed secretly.

"My slave has been prepared for a long time. I'm just waiting for your Majesty's instructions."

"Um"

——

The twenty years of Hongzhi have finally come to an end, and a new year has begun.

When the tedious palace etiquette was over, the queen lost a lot of weight and became even weaker.

Just after the Lantern Festival, I fell seriously ill.

All the princes and princesses came to Jiaofang Palace to guard the palace tremblingly. Everyone looked like a filial son and a virtuous grandson.

In the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Xie Chenyu was the same, going out early and coming back late every day.

Lin Ximeng would occasionally want to follow her, but Xie Chenyu would give her a fierce look.

"what are you going to do?"

"Your Highness, I was sent here by the Queen after all. I can't even take a look at the Queen if she is ill, right?"

After saying that, she lowered her hands and grabbed her handkerchief uneasily.

Xie Chenyu rejected her flatly.

"Don't cause trouble to this palace!"

His expression was serious, and it was obvious that he was serious this time.

Lin Ximeng was startled.

"Your Highness, is this time... any different from before?"

"The queen is very ill, but she can't die yet." Xie Chenyu clenched his fists and frowned solemnly.

Once something happens to the queen, the country will be over.

No one can say for sure whether the emperor will have a child with the Xu family and pass the kingdom to a son born from a musician.

"Your Highness wants to be the crown prince?"

"roll!"

Lin Ximeng shrank her neck: "Then what do you need me to do?"

"Just go and stay in the backyard. This palace will find famous doctors and medicines. No matter what method is used, the queen's illness must be cured."

Lin Ximeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Maybe...I can try"

"You?" Xie Chenyu smiled sarcastically.

"What do you, a little girl, know? The queen's body is so valuable. If there is something, you wouldn't even be able to pay for it with ten lives."

"But I really want to try. Maybe I can really help this time, so just let me go."

The queen is most likely to suffer from three highs, namely high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar.

If you really want to save your life, you must lower the three highs. In your previous life, you have learned a lot about traditional Chinese medicine and health care, and you also have an understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.

Come to think of it, the exquisite modern Chinese medicine is better than ancient times.

Seeing her firm tone, Xie Chenyu thought for a while and refused.

"You are right. You were sent by your mother, so there is nothing wrong with showing your loyalty."

"But let's make it clear first, if you offend the queen, this palace will not be able to save you."

With her heart sinking, Lin Ximeng decided to take a gamble.

That afternoon, Lin Ximeng packed her things and entered the palace with Xie Chenyu.

The inner hall of Jiaofang Palace.

The queen lay on the bed and looked at her meaningfully for a few times, and asked seriously who was this?

Lin Ximeng kowtowed solemnly.

"Returning to your Majesty, I am a concubine in the residence of the Sixth Prince. I have some knowledge of medicine, so Your Highness asked me to come over and serve your Majesty personally as a sign of filial piety."

Xie Chenyu also knelt on the ground.

"Mother, you gave this Mrs. Lin to your son. Later I found out that she knows some ways to maintain good health. My son only hopes that his mother will be healthy and wishes he could serve his mother day and night by her bedside."

"I'm interested." The queen waved her hand weakly.

"In that case, let her stay."

"Mr. Lin, why don't you thank your mother quickly?"

Lin Ximeng quickly stepped forward to thank him.

——

From that day on, Lin Ximeng lived with the maids of Jiaofang Palace, taking care of the queen's food and daily life day and night.

She checked the queen's diet and the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctor, her delicate eyebrows knitted together.

Looking for an opportunity, she knelt at the Queen's feet.

"Mother, there is something wrong with your diet."
