Xiaoxiang Hall still occupies a place in the harem, so the lunch served to Li Man'er was still very rich. Although the number of dishes was not large, the advantage was that every dish was exquisite and all were seasonal delicacies.
"Man'er, try the food in this palace, it will suit your appetite."
In my mind, this seemed to be her first time eating in the palace. In the past, Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Guo had never taken her with them to such good things.
"Just looking at it makes you very appetizing. The skill of the palace chef cannot be overemphasized."
Li Qingshu picked up the dishes for Li Man'er. When she saw Li Man'er's slightly surprised look, she said, "Here, I am your aunt and you are my niece. There is no need to talk nonsense."
After hearing this, Li Maner had a better impression of Li Qingshu.
Is it possible that bad bamboos can produce good ones? Can a scheming old woman like Ms. Cui give birth to an innocent person like Li Qingshu?
Li Man'er stuffed a piece of bamboo shoot into his mouth. Are there any innocent people in this huge harem? Even if your original intention is not to compete for favor, won't others frame you to compete for favor? If you are really simple and kind, you will not compete with others.
, I’m afraid Li Qingshu won’t even survive now!
She has been in the palace for ten years. If she is really innocent, can she stay in the concubine position peacefully until now?
That’s not right, the fourth princess is gone!
Li Man'er ate without saying a word, taking small bites of his meal delicately. The occasional distraction made Li Qingshu curl her lips slightly. She remembered that when she was young, she was also carefree and bright, but after entering the palace, she no longer knew how to behave.
What does it feel like to be from the heart?
After lunch, Li Qingshu had tea prepared and talked with Li Man'er in the side hall.
"How is the old lady's health?"
Li Man'er nodded, "The weather was too hot a few days ago. Grandma's appetite was not very good and she had some gastrointestinal problems. But after taking medicine, she got better."
Li Qingshu nodded, "How is your mother?"
"He still doesn't wake up, he keeps sleeping, hanging with ginseng soup, and the doctors are helpless."
Li Qingshu couldn't help but ask: "Can't you even do anything?"
coming!
Li Man'er kept secretly thinking, she was still wondering, is her aunt so pure and innocent, harmless to humans and animals?
Looking at it now, it may have been just a way for her to numb herself.
"Aunt, although I know medical skills, I only study the books of the sages and use the prescriptions of the sages. I know how to read it according to the book, but it is unparalleled. There is no precedent for my mother's disease, and I have never heard of it.
I have read through ancient books about this kind of disease, and I only saw that the old man will fall into a coma when he is about to die, but I have never heard of my mother's disease."
Li Qingshu couldn't help but nodded, "I also received the news when your father was poisoned, but even Imperial Physician Duan couldn't do anything, so what can I do? I didn't expect that this girl like you learned a skill without saying a word.
Detoxified him."
A strange feeling emerged in Li Man'er's mind again. Li Qingshu didn't seem to have much affection for her natal family, her mother and her brother.
"Aunt, I'm here because my grandmother gave me instructions."
Li Qingshu smiled and said, "I know even if you don't tell me. My mother asked you to diagnose my pulse and help me get pregnant."
Well……
Li Man'er could only nodded, that was indeed what happened.
Li Qingshu smiled and said: "I know my body well, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get pregnant. But since you are here, I have to trouble you again."
Li Man'er said quickly: "My aunt was offended when she said this. I also asked my aunt to find someone to find a medicine pillow. If there is not one, I can put a towel with it."
There is no shortage of anything in the palace. The imperial doctor will come to ask for Ping'an's pulse every now and then. Xiaoxiang Palace always prepares its own medicine pillows.
When Li Man'er checked Li Qingshu's pulse, Li Qingshu had been very calm. She had long since given up any hope for her body.
Aunt Wenxiu was particularly nervous, always feeling that maybe Li Man'er's appearance would change some things.
When Li Man'er was diagnosing Li Qingshu's pulse, her face was calm. Even the ruthless Li Qingshu who had lived in the palace for many years could not see anything in her eyes.
Li Qingshu secretly smacked her tongue. In the impression that Li Man'er, who was raised by the Guo family to be cunning and weird, with a very bad temper, turned into a person that even she could not see through in the blink of an eye.
It's amazing.
At the same time, Li Man'er was also secretly frightened. Li Qingshu's body had been through so much! Before giving birth to the fourth princess, she must have had a miscarriage. When she gave birth to the fourth princess, her body must have been severely damaged, with heavy bleeding and postpartum convulsions. She needed to rest.
It's always been bad.
These are all trivial matters. The most important thing is that Li Qingshu was poisoned, a chronic poison. Although she was treated, she was found too late. The poison slowly penetrated into the internal organs and made Li Qingshu's body a little worse.
How bad is it? Hmm...
Let's put it this way, Mrs. Cui can get rid of Li Qingshu.
Li Man'er stopped her hand and sighed.
The light in Aunt Wenxiu's eyes dissipated in an instant. She was just wishful thinking. She knew exactly how the empress was doing, but at this time, she still thought there would be a miracle! Isn't this just a wishful dream?
What's more, how old Miss Li is? Even if she has superb medical skills, can she really be better than the imperial doctors?
Aunt Wenxiu felt that the rumors outside that Dr. Duan was not as good as Li Man'er might have been spread by the Li family in order to increase the worth of the girls of the Li family.
"What a pity." Li Man'er sighed softly, "Aunt, it would have been better if I had come earlier."
"There is no defense." Li Qingshu has long been indifferent to matters of life and death. The moment her Awu left, her heart died, and what was left was just a walking corpse.
Aunt Wenxiu shed tears and whispered: "Your Majesty..."
At this moment, Li Man'er said: "If I had come earlier, my aunt might still have a baby. But I came too late, so I can only save my aunt's life and cleanse her from the poison. I'm afraid it will be difficult to give birth."
These words were like a thunder, hitting Li Qingshu and Aunt Wenxiu hard.
"What did you say?" Li Qingshu couldn't believe her ears.
"My aunt can't give birth."
"No, another sentence."
Li Man'er made a deliberate noise before saying, "Clean the poison to save your life."
Aunt Wenxiu was surprised and happy, "Really? Can a big girl really do it?"
"certainly."
Li Qingshu was not so optimistic, "Do you know what I have been through? I am so confident that I am not afraid of ruining my own brand?"
"Before the Fourth Princess, my aunt was pregnant with a child, and she had a miscarriage within three months, right?"
Li Qingshu frowned. Everyone in the family knew about this, and it was not surprising for her to know.
"yes."
"When I gave birth to the fourth princess, I had severe bleeding and suffered from postpartum convulsions."
Aunt Wenxiu kept nodding her head, but she still felt unsure.
Li Maner showed his trump card, "Then why didn't you tell your family about your poisoning? Can't you tell me?"
Li Qingshu was stunned and couldn't help but blurt out: "How do you know?"
