Yi Yan limped into Kunning Palace, followed by the imperial doctor.

When the imperial doctor saw Ma Xiuying, he said helplessly: "Empress Qiyu, the minister wants to treat Master Daoyan's injuries, but he has to come to see you first, so the minister has to let him ......."

Ma Xiuying frowned, "Master Daoyan, you are injured, how can you move around at will, how about aggravating the injury?"

"I heard that the queen mother vomited blood again, and the poor monk must come to see your condition. Dao Yan didn't care about his injuries at all, and motioned for Ma Xiuying to stretch out his hand.

Ma Xiuying knew his stubbornness, and besides, the imperial doctor was in front of him, so she didn't say more, and asked him to take the pulse according to his words.

Dao Yan noticed that Ma Xiuying's pulse was beating slowly and weakly, and her qi and blood were faintly stagnant, so she couldn't help but reproach angrily and angrily: "Why didn't the queen mother listen to the poor monk's warning, you were so willful that the poor monk's treatment in the past few days was in vain. If you are not willing to cooperate with the poor monk's treatment plan, please ask for another master!"

The imperial doctor's eyes widened suddenly, Dao Yan dared to talk to Ma Xiuying like this? He glanced over, but saw Ma Xiuying like a schoolboy who had made a mistake with his head down and red ears.

Xun Ying cried out for Ma Xiuying, if she wasn't worried about Dao Yan's punishment, Ma Xiuying would not be angry and aggravate her condition. It's just that the imperial doctor is beside her, and she can't say it directly, so she glared at Dao Yan angrily to express her dissatisfaction.

After Dao Yan finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he was reckless, and hurriedly apologized, "The poor monk has no intention of offending, please forgive the queen." ”

Ma Xiuying said sullenly: "You are also worried about the condition of the palace, the doctor's parents, it is the palace itself that did not cooperate with the master's treatment, and the palace will pay attention in the future." Master, go back and recuperate, you can heal this palace wholeheartedly. ”

Dao Yan adjusted the amount of medicine again, and told Xun Ying to massage Ma Xiuying to invigorate the blood, and then followed the imperial doctor to leave.

Xun Ying saw that Ma Xiuying was still depressed, and persuaded: "Master, don't be angry, Master Daoyan is straightforward and fast-talking, and has no other meaning." ”

Ma Xiuying sighed: "I understand that he is worried about my body, but he came to see me regardless of his injury, which made me feel more and more guilty, this time it was all my fault but he was involved." Don't look at him as if he is indifferent in front of you and me, in fact, we all know that the emperor will never be soft on punishing people. ”

Xun Ying was gloomy, she just sent Dao Yan out and saw Dao Yan cross the threshold, her brows were porridge, she didn't dare to tell Ma Xiuying about this matter no matter what.

After a while, the palace people told Concubine Qi to ask to see her.

Ma Xiuying doesn't like concubines to visit the sick, many women either come to complain, or they just want to see if they can meet Zhu Yuanzhang, and there are very few people who really care about her. Li Qi'er didn't come much, and usually asked red beans and silkworm girls to send some handmade snacks or handicrafts. Therefore, when Ma Xiuying heard that she was visiting, she asked people to bring her in.

Li Qi'er was dressed very plainly, a water blue gown covered by a moon-white skirt, her hair was simply curled into a fallen horse bun, and a hosta was inserted diagonally on it. This kind of non-outstanding dress can well avoid the embarrassment caused by Ma Xiuying's sallow and haggard appearance due to illness.

What satisfies Ma Xiuying the most is that Li Qi'er knows that she doesn't like the smell of incense powder, so every time she sees her, she is refreshing and refreshing, and never smears all kinds of strange incense powder on her body.

Li Qi'er looked worried, walked to the side of the bed and asked softly, "Is the queen feeling better?" The concubine copied a few scriptures to pray for blessings, wishing the queen a speedy recovery. ”

Hongdou interjected: "Queen Qiyu, Concubine Qi is worried about your body, and she can't sleep well for a few nights, and the slave maid sees that she is still copying scriptures for you in the middle of the night." ”

"You have a heart. Ma Xiuying motioned to Xunying to take the scriptures.

Li Qi'er smiled softly, "As long as the queen can recover as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if the concubine copies a few more scriptures." ”

While the two were talking, Ma Xiuying suddenly had an itchy throat and couldn't help coughing. Xun Ying hurriedly handed her the silk scarf, and after an earth-shattering cough, her throat was more comfortable, and when she removed the silk scarf from her mouth, she suddenly found a ball of blood on the silk scarf, and knew that she had hemoptysis again, she didn't want outsiders to know about her condition, and wiped off the blood stains quietly.

However, Li Qi'er, who had been staring at her, still saw the problem from her slightly changing face and the blush on the corner of her lips, and was secretly surprised in her heart: "Ma Xiuying's condition is so serious, coughing up phlegm and bleeding is tuberculosis?"

Tuberculosis is tuberculosis, which was later referred to as tuberculosis in Western medicine. At that time, it was a terminal disease that could not be cured, and patients generally had low-grade fever, cough, coughing up bloody sputum and other main manifestations, which belonged to chronic wasting diseases, especially in the middle and late stages, the above symptoms were more obvious, and hemoptysis symptoms would occur, and even death. The disease is even contagious, so people immediately change color when they talk about tuberculosis.

Thinking of this, Li Qi'er immediately couldn't sit still, got up and said goodbye, "The queen is not in good health, the concubine will not disturb the queen's rest, and the concubine will go back and continue to copy the scriptures to pray for the queen." ”

Ma Xiuying coughed so much that she couldn't speak, nodded and let her leave.

Li Qi'er walked fast, like a flood beast chasing under her feet.

While catching up with Li Qi'er's speed, Hongdou was surprised why Li Qi'er was so anxious, obviously he was fine in Kunning Palace before. But Li Qi'er didn't say anything, so she didn't dare to ask more.

When she returned to her Begonia Palace, Li Qi'er immediately ordered someone to prepare soup for bathing, and asked Hongdou to burn all the clothes she had changed.

Only then did Hongdou understand that Li Qi'er was afraid of the queen's illness, but was the queen's illness so serious?

When it comes to Dao Yan, Hongdou is really thunderous to him, and she has heard this name from Li Qi'er a long time ago. The first time Dao Yan entered the palace to pray for blessings, Li Qi'er always asked her to inquire about Dao Yan's whereabouts, this time Dao Yan entered the palace to treat Ma Xiuying, she could see that Li Qi'er didn't mention it, and she was still very worried in her heart, otherwise she would not have gone to Kunning Palace to meet Ma Xiuying three days after Dao Yan entered the palace. It's a pity that Master Daoyan didn't see it, but Li Qi'er was scared away by Ma Xiuying's illness.

Li Qi'er paced back and forth in the room in disbelief, she wanted to tell Zhu Di about it quickly, and she was worried that Ma Xiuying's illness was not as serious as she imagined, wouldn't it be a big fuss. But what if Ma Xiuying really has tuberculosis? Everyone knows that people who have tuberculosis will definitely die, if Ma Xiuying dies, it will cause great turmoil in the palace and even the imperial court, and even have an impact on the crown prince, but it is a good opportunity for Zhu Di, who wants to stand out among the princes......

She thought about it, and finally suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and decided not to tell Zhu Di about it for the time being, so as not to affect Zhu Di's heart.

In fact, there are many things, Li Qi'er didn't tell Zhu Di, there is nothing in her heart, no one is more important than Zhu Di, she only hopes that Zhu Di will be safe and get what she wants, so she is willing to remove all obstacles for Zhu Di but does not want Zhu Fan to be involved.
