Chapter 41 Entering the palace to diagnose and treat Mrs. Fengde
But after all, their identities are different.
In this era, too much emphasis is placed on status. Luo Jiuli felt that there must be something going on here.
What's more, if she didn't figure it out now, entered the palace in a daze, and was used as a gunman, she wouldn't know how she died.
The Duke's wife nodded.
"My mother doesn't know much about this matter. She only knows that the current Queen Mother is not the Emperor's biological mother."
"Isn't the Queen Mother the Emperor's biological mother?"
Even as calm as Luo Jiuli, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The Duke's wife nodded.
"The current Queen Mother and the Emperor's biological mother, the then Concubine De, are cousins. The Queen Mother is a cousin, and Concubine De is a cousin. Not only are these cousins beautiful, they also gave birth to the Emperor's third and fourth princes respectively. At that time
He was also very popular in the palace."
"It's a pity that the Queen Mother's third prince contracted a serious illness and died suddenly when he was fourteen. As a mother, the Queen Mother can only imagine how sad she was."
"But the sad things in the palace didn't end with that year. In the winter of the following year, Concubine De also contracted a serious illness and unfortunately passed away. At that time, the emperor was still just a prince, a prince without the protection of his mother's family. In addition to being with him,
The wet nurse no longer has anyone to rely on."
"Later, the late emperor issued an order to adopt the emperor to the queen mother. In this way, the emperor became the queen mother's son until he ascended the throne and became emperor."
Luo Jiuli listened.
"One is a son who has lost his mother, and the other is a mother who has lost her son. It is not easy for them to survive in the harem of intrigues and intrigues, support each other, and become the final winner."
The Duke's wife nodded, her eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything.
"Then, what about Mrs. Fengde? Although the Queen Mother is not the emperor's biological mother, but she conferred the title of Mrs. Fengde on a wet nurse and gave her a residence in Ganquan Palace. Doesn't this have great power?"
The Duke's wife smiled.
"No amount of power will be of use to Mrs. Fengde. You think the Queen Mother is a vegetarian."
Luo Jiuli was confused.
"How do you say this?"
"Mrs. Fengde's child has died young, her husband has died long ago, and her family only has a pair of farming brothers and a sister-in-law and a silly nephew. It is useless to give her such great power no matter how powerful she is."
"What's more, when she was a wet nurse, she was devoted to the emperor. She worked from dawn to dusk to serve the emperor. After Empress Dowager De's death, she had to leave even a plate of food for the emperor. After so many years of exhaustion, her body has long since collapsed."
Luo Jiuli nodded, suddenly thinking of that sentence.
"A son has a deep love for his mother; if he is not the mother, he will be infertile; he will push dryness and retain dampness, swallow bitterness and vomit sweetness, and he will be exhausted from childbirth and labor. This is the end of his kindness."
In this era, in addition to mothers who give birth, there are also mothers who nurse.
She didn't know what kind of life Concubine Fengde lived in the harem, but after Concubine De died of illness, the late emperor did not adopt the emperor, who was still the fourth prince at that time, to the queen mother.
After the death of a concubine, a prince without the protection of his mother's family may not live as glorious a life as the outside world sees.
This is also the reason why the emperor had a sense of gratitude and gratitude, and after ascending to the throne, he called Mrs. Fengde his godmother.
"Jiu'er."
The Duke's wife reached out and took her daughter's hand.
"Remember, after entering the palace, no matter who you meet, do more, talk less, stay neutral, and don't take sides."
Luo Jiuli frowned.
"Well, don't worry, mother, I know what to do."
"good."
The Duke's wife stood up.
"You should rest early, mother has gone back too."
"Mom, walk slowly."
Luo Jiuli saluted.
The Duke's wife left Fuquyuan with the support of Aunt Xu.
On the second day, as the sun rose, Luo Jiuli arrived at the palace gate in a carriage.
At the palace gate, Aunt Rongqiu, who was serving Mrs. Fengde, came to greet her in person.
"Aunt Rongqiu."
Luo Jiuli saluted.
When Aunt Rongqiu saw Luo Jiuli, she became even more friendly.
"Miss Luo Er, come into the palace. Mrs. Fengde has been waiting for Miss Luo Er to come?"
Luo Jiuli nodded slightly.
Follow Aunt Rongqiu to Ganquan Palace.
Arriving at Ganquan Palace and entering the bedroom, the green tent was opened and a palace attendant came out carrying an empty bowl. When he saw Aunt Rongqiu, he saluted and said hello.
Aunt Rongqiu nodded.
"This is Miss Luo Er, who came to see Madam under the emperor's imperial decree."
The maid held the empty bowl and saluted Luo Jiuli again.
"This slave has met the second young lady."
"Um."
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"What did you have for breakfast ma'am?"
On the side, Aunt Rongqiu said:
"Follow the second lady's instructions and have the kitchen cook the millet porridge for Madam. Eat small, frequent meals and eat gradually."
Luo Jiuli looked at Aunt Rongqiu, but he did not expect that she could carry out the task so seriously. It can be seen that this Aunt Rongqiu must be a confidant around Mrs. Fengde.
"Is Miss Luo Er here?"
An old voice came from behind the green tent.
"Back to Madam, yes."
Aunt Rongqiu rushed forward to welcome Luo Jiuli.
The blue curtain was opened, and on the big mahogany bed, Mrs. Fengde opened her eyes. While stroking Xueqiu's hair, she looked lovingly at Luo Jiuli. Her expression and spirit were much better than yesterday.
"My daughter, Luo Jiuli, has met Mrs. Fengde."
"There is no need to be polite. Speaking of which, my old life was snatched back by the second lady from the Palace of Hell."
On the big bed, as soon as Xueqiu saw Luo Jiuli, his big jewel-like eyes lit up, he jumped up with a meow, and jumped into Luo Jiuli's arms.
Mrs. Fengde, who was lying on the bed, was surprised and smiled.
"Last night, Rongqiu said that Snowball only wanted to hold you. I thought it was strange. I didn't expect that Snowball actually liked you. It was fate."
On the side, Aunt Rongqiu said:
"Second Miss doesn't know that my wife has raised Xueqiu for more than ten years. Except for my wife, she never lets anyone else hold her, let alone touch her. Therefore, everyone was surprised when Xueqiu came to the Second Miss to hold her yesterday."
Luo Jiuli lowered his head and looked at the snowball in his arms, also curious.
I thought to myself, maybe this cat is spiritual and knows that she has medical skills and can save her master.
"Madam, I will take Madam's pulse first."
Luo Jiuli stepped forward and placed the snowball next to Mrs. Fengde.
"Um."
Mrs. Fengde held out her wrist.
Luo Jiuli felt her pulse. In fact, she was more willing to use a stethoscope to check her pulse, but now that Aunt Rongqiu was around, she was a little hesitant.
"The cyanosis has faded significantly, my breathing has become much smoother, and my pulse condition is also improving."
Mrs. Fengde looked at her, her seemingly cloudy eyes actually saw very clearly.
"Rongqiu, go and ask the kitchen to make some snow pear, white fungus, and lotus seed soup for me."
"yes."
Aunt Rongqiu nodded, turned around and walked out.
