Chapter Ninety-Five: The Emperor is Seriously Ill, and the Harem is in the Wind
For several days in a row, the emperor always stayed in the palace of Concubine Ping. Finally one day, when the emperor finished acting, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and he actually fainted on the bed of the concubine.
Concubine Ping watched the emperor suddenly faint, and she was a little anxious, so she hurriedly got up in her clothes, called to get close to the maid, and said hurriedly: "It's over, how can this be good, the emperor fainted, it is estimated that it is due to the medicine, what can I do?" ”
The maid also didn't have an idea, so she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, since the emperor has fainted, it is better to quickly ask the imperial doctor to adjust and treat it." ”
A trace of hesitation flashed on Concubine Ping's face, she sighed, and said: "You are a person from the side of the palace, you know, if the imperial doctor finds out, I am afraid that the palace will also be implicated." ”
The maid suddenly remembered something, and said: "Niangniang, this matter is not completely helpless, Niangniang thinks about it, this medicine was sent by Xu Lin, Xu Lin is a person who knows, and now it is a loss to Niangniang, it is better to ask him to mediate." ”
Concubine Ping didn't care about it anymore, and hurriedly said, "Then what are you waiting for, don't go quickly." ”
The maid answered, and hurriedly ran to ask Xu Lin to come to the palace to treat the emperor.
Although it was the dead of night, the news that the emperor suddenly fainted in the palace of Concubine Ping still spread, and the queen was the first to rush over, followed by Concubine Ming and Concubine Jin, and some concubines with faces also hurried over.
Xu Lin checked his pulse on the side of the bed for a long time, frowning slightly, and the palace concubines in the room didn't dare to say a word. It wasn't until Xu Lin took his hand down and stood up that the queen asked, "Imperial Doctor Xu, how is it, what did the emperor miss?" ”
Xu Lin just wanted to answer. Coincidentally, two more imperial doctors came in outside the door. Concubine Ming saluted the queen before saying, "Queen." When the concubine heard that the emperor suddenly fainted, she was worried. I was afraid that only one imperial doctor would inspect it, and it would inevitably be a mistake, so I asked two more senior imperial doctors to come without authorization. ”
Concubine Ping's face was a little unsightly, it seemed that she couldn't hide it after all, and she blamed herself for being too anxious, otherwise there would be no such thing.
The queen hurriedly said: "You are doing a good job, you two, go and take a look!" ”
Wait until the two imperial doctors have seen each other. The three of them saluted the queen together, and looked at each other again, as if they wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.
"What's wrong with the emperor, if you have anything to say, just say it." The queen's face was already a little displeased.
One of the imperial doctors took the lead in speaking: "Queen Qiyu, the emperor suddenly fainted, yes, because of excessive physical exertion, I want to take a few pairs of nourishing medicines." It's no big deal. ”
The other imperial doctor stopped talking, and when he saw the queen staring at him, Zhan Zhan replied: "Empress Qiqi, if Weichen is not mistaken." The emperor should have taken a large amount of aphrodisiac drugs, so that he was exhausted and fainted suddenly. ”
The queen heard this. Squinted at Concubine Ping, and said coldly, "Concubine Ping." This palace has been feeling strange in the past few days, why the emperor suddenly cares about you more than before. It turned out that you gave the emperor ****** in order to accept the favor and disregard the emperor's safety. ”
Concubine Ping wanted to refute a few words at this time, but she was speechless for a while, so she admitted calmly: "Concubine, concubine is also hot-headed, so she did such a foolish thing, but fortunately, the emperor is fine, and I ask the queen to forgive me." ”
At this time, Concubine Jin stepped forward and said: "Why is my sister so confused, the emperor is a golden body, how can it be damaged, you, you actually do such a filthy thing in this harem, according to the palace rules, you are going to enter the cold palace, sister, you are really confused." ”
Concubine Ping glanced at Concubine Jin hatefully, she really didn't expect that the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and she did this thing, and immediately someone couldn't hold it back. Concubine Jin, okay, at this juncture, what else are you talking about my sister being confused, the most important thing you said, isn't it that I should be beaten into the cold palace?
At this time, Xu Lin stepped forward and said: "Queen Qiyu, Weichen has something to do." ”
Only then did the queen remember that after Xu Lin diagnosed the pulse, she hadn't said a word, and hurriedly said: "You said, are you not in the same pulse as the two imperial doctors?" ”
Xu Lin knelt down and said: "The queen forgives her sins, Weichen, Weichen looks at the emperor's pulse, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to last." ”
When the concubines heard this, they were all shocked. What do you mean by that that is hard to last? Xu Lin said implicitly, could it be that the emperor used too much medicine, and he would not be humane in the future? Thinking of this, some of the palace concubines who were in their youth already had a little sadness on their faces.
The queen didn't expect this, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this, can you make it clearer?" ”
Xu Lin sighed before he said: "The emperor has worked hard, overdrafted, and hurt the fundamentals, even if he cares for himself, I am afraid that it can only last for a few days." Weichen said something inappropriate, the emperor was seriously ill, and asked the queen to make plans early. ”
When the queen heard this, she couldn't hold it anymore, she leaned back, and she was about to fall, but the palace maid who served beside her was quick and quickly held on, and the queen slowed down, and said to the two imperial doctors: "Didn't you just say that it's okay, what is the truth, you come quickly, if you don't tell the truth, the palace will definitely be punished heavily." ”
The two imperial doctors hurriedly knelt down and bowed their heads, and one of them said: "The queen mother forgives her sins, Weichen, Weichen is also afraid that Niangniang will be too sad, so I plan to slowly inform Niangniang about this matter, the emperor is indeed alive soon." ”
As soon as these words came out, the house was shocked, the faces of the palace concubines changed and changed, and some palace concubines with poor self-sustaining ability actually sobbed in a low voice, not for the emperor, but for themselves, as soon as the emperor died, he had no hope in this life, he could only be a concubine or something, he was in his prime, and there were no heirs under his knees, really, alas, he could only be lonely all his life, and he died in the palace of old age.
Seeing someone crying in a low voice, these concubines can no longer care about the defense against each other in the past, the emperor is almost gone, what is the point of intrigue, they actually cried one after another, and later, they simply hugged their heads and cried.
The queen broke off and shouted: "Okay, don't cry yet, the emperor is still here, what are you crying and crying, retreat." ”
The palace concubines were stunned at first, and then they all held back their tears and bowed and retreated. When they arrived at their palaces, they all cried loudly, and some of the concubines, after crying, were already planning their own way back.
The queen tried her best to restrain her emotions at this time, because she knew that the emperor's death involved too many things, and she must not just indulge in grief and miss state affairs. The queen first instructed a group of eunuchs to carry the emperor to the Mingwen Hall to recuperate, and then looked at Concubine Ping coldly, and slowly said four words: "Grounded, for life." Then he left the palace of Concubine Ping.
Concubine Ping heard these four words, her feet were weak, and she collapsed to the ground, it's over, her life is completely over.
If the night passed, the queen had been waiting for the emperor in the Mingwen Palace, and the other concubines had not been able to sleep peacefully, each thinking about their own thoughts, and those who had children were naturally worried about the future of their children, and those who had no children were also worried about their future.
