Song Shuwan lowered her eyes and keenly sensed the changes in the person behind her. She hurriedly grabbed the edge of the barrel and used a generous hand from her waist to help her get out of the barrel.
"excuse me."
She uttered three words in a low voice, and could still vaguely feel the heat of the generous palm on her waist. She almost wanted to leave immediately, dragging the moisture all over her body.
But after careful consideration, he still forced Pei Huan out of the barrel due to the shyness and panic in his heart.
The traces of water on the ground are winding, just like Song Shuwan's panicked mind.
After a while, Song Shuwan put away the golden needle, looked at Pei Huan who was already sweating profusely, and asked An Yi to bathe him again.
Pei Huan's blank eyes fell in the air, and he whispered for a long time: "An Yi."
"My subordinate is here."
Pei Huan paused: "It's okay."
The bright moon twinkled, clearly seeing the changes underneath, and then quietly hiding it.
The next day, Song Shuwan followed Pei Huan into the palace for the second diagnosis and treatment of the Queen Mother, and the two separated outside Cining Palace.
The Cining Palace was still filled with a strong smell of medicine. Song Shuwan tilted her head slightly and spoke softly and calmly.
"How is the Queen Mother doing today?"
The female officer leading the way saluted respectfully, not daring to hide anything: "Since you left, the Queen Mother has not slept well. The imperial doctor just prescribed the prescription this morning, and the Queen Mother has already lied down after drinking."
Got a prescription?
Song Shuwan's eyebrows hidden in the thin veil were slightly twisted. She lifted the curtain on the edge of the bed with her delicate white fingertips. Her eyes fell and she saw that the Queen Mother's face was thin and the blackness under her eyes seemed to have worsened. Even though she was asleep, her eyebrows were wrinkled.
.
At this time, the Queen Mother suddenly woke up and saw Song Shuwan, her eyes were filled with surprise.
"Why did you come just now? Come and take a look at the Ai family. The Ai family is feeling uncomfortable again."
"Your Majesty, please be patient and allow the daughter of the common people to diagnose your pulse."
After a while, Song Shuwan stood up and backed away, sighing faintly.
The Queen Mother frowned: "Why do you look like this? Why don't you give the Ai family acupuncture?"
Song Shuwan shook her head gently and said, neither humble nor overbearing: "It's not that the common people don't give the Queen Mother acupuncture, but the Queen Mother drank medicine this morning, so she can no longer give acupuncture."
"What's the connection between Aijia's taking medicine and acupuncture? Or are you just in vain and can't cure Aijia's head wind syndrome at all?"
The Queen Mother lowered her voice, displeasure flashed across her majestic face, and her words were like thunder with oppression.
Song Shuwan stood still and bowed to herself.
"As the saying goes, a woman should not marry two husbands. The same applies to treating diseases. The Queen Mother drank someone else's medicine and delayed the plan set by the people's daughter. Today, even if the Queen Mother wants to behead the people's daughter, the people's daughter will not do it.
I will perform acupuncture for the Queen Mother."
"presumptuous!"
The Queen Mother was angry, and as soon as she spoke her words, her headache worsened due to her emotional ups and downs, and she immediately touched her forehead.
The female official on the side stepped forward in panic: "Quick, Queen Mother, go and ask for the order from the imperial doctor."
The Queen Mother waved away the female officer's hand and placed her fingertips on Song Shuwan: "Take away the gauze on her face, and the Ai family will want to see who is underneath. She even dares to disobey the Ai family's words."
Song Shuwan was slightly startled and subconsciously wanted to stop him.
But the Cining Palace did not allow her to move at all, and in the end she had to be veiled.
The Queen Mother looked at her face and said angrily: "Concubine Dingyuan Hou, how dare you take credit for someone else's name? Come, call the emperor to the Ai family. The Ai family will kill this person who deceives the world and steals his reputation!"
Song Shuwan never expected that the Queen Mother would think so, and she was unable to react in time.
The Queen Mother was angry, and the people in the harem quickly got the news.
Before the emperor arrived, many concubines had already entered the Cining Palace.
Among them, the imperial doctor ordered Zheng Chengshou to look at Song Shuwan with disdain: "A woman dares to brag about her medical skills here, which is really a scandal to the world. Queen Mother, this woman who deceives the world and steals her reputation will definitely ruin the reputation of Dingyuan Hou Mansion and must be severely punished.
"
Although the concubines below found it strange, seeing the Queen Mother being furious, they also reprimanded and criticized the kneeling Princess Dingyuan.
"The Queen Mother's phoenix body is precious. She is so young. It is necessary to let her know that she is in pain so that she can have a longer memory."
The more the Queen Mother listened, the more annoyed she became. At this moment, she immediately waved her hand to the female officer to hold him down: "Slap the Ai family."
"Stop! Let's see who dares to touch her today!"
Suddenly there was an angry shout, followed by the sound of rolling wooden wheels.
When everyone looked, a dark and unclear look flashed in their eyes.
Those who came were the emperor and Pei Huan, the prince of Dingyuanhou.
The Queen Mother twisted the handkerchief and fell on the side armrest: "The prince of Dingyuan is so majestic. In this Cining Palace, in front of the Ai family and the emperor, he dares to show off like this. This is how the Hou Mansion teaches
Are you well-behaved?"
Pei Huan's eyes were fixed on the Queen Mother. Everyone knew that he could not see him, but looking into those eyes, he still felt a chill in his heart, as if he was in a cold pool.
The person who bears the name of the God of War is still terrifying even if he is crippled.
The emperor coughed lightly, waved his sleeves, and came to the Queen Mother's side: "Mother, what happened?"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and asked the female official to tell her the reason.
"Your Majesty, this woman pretends to be someone else, deceives the world and steals her reputation, and makes such assertions. She is actually an unfaithful and unjust person. Even the concubine of the Marquis of Dingyuan should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."
After the female official finished speaking, Zheng Chengshou stepped forward and spoke in a sonorous and powerful manner, filled with righteous indignation.
There was amusement in the emperor's eyes: "How did you know she was a fake?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around fell into silence. What did the emperor mean by these words?
Could it be that there is some secret hidden in it?
Zheng Chengshou said calmly: "The female official beside the Queen Mother has just made it clear."
The emperor shook his head, waved his hand for Song Shuwan to stand up, and said: "You guys should all stand down."
"yes."
The concubines around them saluted and were about to leave the Cining Palace when the Queen Mother said: "Look at the Ai family, they should all stay, so that everyone can see what kind of person Dingyuan Marquis has married."
The contempt she spoke of was because Song Shuwan had a peaceful temperament and thought she could bear it, but at this time she was also aroused.
Even the Queen Mother cannot slander and belittle her like this.
"The Queen Mother keeps saying that I am deceiving the world and stealing my reputation. She never mentions that I have diagnosed and treated you. She even mentioned my background. May I ask, Queen Mother, what did you rely on to make this decision? Just because I am the Marquis of Dingyuan.
The Crown Princess?"
"If this is the case, when I see an acquaintance, can I make a judgment based on that person's origin?"
"presumptuous!"
After Song Shu finished speaking, the Queen Mother patted the armrest and stood up, her sullen eyes swept over her, and her heart heaved rapidly.
"If you can walk and sit upright, how can you hide your face? Women at home are restless and keep to themselves. What kind of medical skills have you learned? I'm afraid you are not even innocent..."
"The Queen Mother, please be careful what you say."
Pei Huan spoke, his calm voice filled with oppression.
The Queen Mother reacted and her expression suddenly changed.
The surrounding concubines looked away, and the palace people lowered their heads one after another. They were all silent.
