Emperor Nanyang knew that Concubine Ji had medical skills but was not very good at it. However, Concubine Ji's pale face made Emperor Nanyang suspicious.
"My beloved concubine, what's wrong with me?"
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Ji lowered her voice and whispered a few words into Emperor Nanyang's ear. Emperor Nanyang's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Concubine Ji in disbelief: "How presumptuous!"
"Your Majesty, my medical skills are not good, and maybe the diagnosis is wrong, but... for your safety, it is better to find two trustworthy doctors to take a look."
At this time, Concubine Ji scolded Jiang Yunxu dozens of times in her heart. What she just said was according to Jiang Yunxu's teachings and she said it word for word.
Her heart was in turmoil. What if Emperor Nanyang was unhappy and killed her directly?
Emperor Nanyang looked gloomy and remained silent. After a long time, he said to Concubine Ji: "You have worked hard these days."
Um?
Concubine Ji looked at Emperor Nanyang doubtfully: "Your Majesty?"
Before she could react, Emperor Nanyang said: "The queen has relapsed into her old habit. She won't have time to take care of the Sixth Palace for a while. You can handle some matters as you please."
After saying this, he waved his hand towards Concubine Ji, asking her to step back.
After Concubine Ji came to her senses, she wanted to say something wrong about the queen, but then she remembered Jiang Yunxu's advice, so she simply shut her mouth, thanked her obediently, and then left.
After the people left, Emperor Nanyang's face turned completely gloomy. He immediately sent someone to check on Aunt Yang and called in the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse privately.
At the same time, memorials came one after another from outside, as well as urgent documents from the border crossing eight hundred miles away. Xiangya and Qinyue were already approaching the city and might attack at any time.
This made Emperor Nanyang extremely angry and fainted immediately.
…
After Concubine Ji returned, she sat on a chair with a cup of tea in her hand, her whole body still shaking, and she couldn't believe that she had walked through the gate of hell.
After calming down, Concubine Ji immediately sent someone to invite Jiang Yunxu.
Soon Jiang Yunxu came. Concubine Ji immediately put down the tea cup and held Jiang Yunxu's hand with both hands. She couldn't tell whether she was crying or laughing.
"As you said, the emperor... indeed handed over the power of associate director of the Sixth Palace to me. I really did not misjudge you."
Concubine Ji was generous and took off a jade bracelet of excellent quality from her wrist and put it on Jiang Yunxu's wrist: "From now on, you can follow me."
"Concubine Ji, I am a beautiful lady. Is it inappropriate to stay with you?"
Concubine Ji disagreed: "This is not a big deal. It's just that there are a few beautiful girls. In the past, beautiful girls who could not be selected would be assigned to serve in the concubines' palaces by each palace for one or two years, and then they would be released from the palace. They can be regarded as a
Decent.”
Jiang Yunxu smiled. It would be easier to stay with Concubine Ji. She knelt on the ground to thank her. Concubine Ji grabbed her and said, "You don't have to thank me in front of me in the future."
After she stood up, Concubine Ji asked again: "The emperor has doted on the queen for many years. Now she is just grounded. The queen will stand up again in the future. You have to think of a way to make the queen and the prince never stand up again."
After hearing this, Jiang Yunxu whispered in Concubine Ji's ear. Concubine Ji suddenly stared at her with wide eyes and looked at her in disbelief: "Rong Qiyue, are you confused and actually asked me to hand over the rights you have obtained?"
Concubine Ji stared angrily.
"Your Majesty, this is retreat in order to advance. If you hand over the power of co-ordinator, the Emperor will definitely think that you have been coerced. Furthermore, if His Highness is injured, and the news reaches the Emperor's ears, plus today's numerous memorials
If you petition, the emperor will definitely suspect the queen and the prince. A war is imminent, and if His Highness gets the military power, he will have an opportunity to show off."
Jiang Yunxu persuaded her unhurriedly, and Concubine Ji's anger slowly calmed down. After she sat down and thought calmly for a moment, she looked at Jiang Yunxu meaningfully: "Rong Qiyue, fortunately you have no intention of having a harem, otherwise
I will never forgive you lightly."
"Empress, I already have someone I like." Jiang Yunxu knelt on the ground again, with a determined look on his face.
Concubine Ji smiled charmingly: "Look, I'm just trying to scare you."
The reason why Jiang Yunxu chose to cooperate with Concubine Ji was because she had a second highness under her knees and her obedient temperament.
Concubine Ji didn't care about anyone, so she sent someone to deliver a message to His Highness on the spot.
After enduring all night, Concubine Ji went to see Emperor Nanyang with a panic expression on her face the next day, and waited at the door for a long time. She heard roars coming from inside from time to time, which frightened her whole body, her limbs became weak, and she almost turned around and left.
There was a creaking sound, the door was opened, and the young father-in-law came out: "Mother Ji, please come in, your Majesty."
Perhaps it was because Concubine Ji accidentally let Emperor Nanyang know her true condition, so Emperor Nanyang did not have much precaution against Concubine Ji.
Concubine Ji lowered her eyes and went in, and saw several imperial doctors lying sideways on the ground, with blood on the corners of their mouths. She was so frightened that she almost lost her balance and knelt in front of the couch: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I am incompetent.
I'm afraid I can't be qualified to serve as the Assistant Governor of the Sixth Palace, so I beg the Emperor to take back my order."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Nanyang immediately frowned.
Concubine Ji's eyes were red and filled with fear and uneasiness. Before she spoke, she heard the little father-in-law outside the door come to report what had happened.
Emperor Nanyang was very annoyed: "Say."
"Back to the Emperor, His Highness was attacked last night and was seriously injured."
After saying this, Concubine Ji's eyes widened in disbelief: "How...how could this happen? Huang Er is immersed in the mountains and fields and never interferes in important matters. Who has he offended? Someone wants to harm Huang Er."
Death place?"
Concubine Ji grabbed Emperor Nanyang's hand and asked, "Could it be someone from Lingyi who did it?"
Emperor Nanyang was silent. The second prince never had any grudges with others. He was powerless. Why did Lingyi's people kill the second prince?
