Chapter 148: The Storm Rises (1)
Inside the Royal Palace
"Is the emperor really getting better?" The Queen Mother asked with a look of surprise on her face.
"Yes, the Queen Mother, please rest assured, Weichen has already used medicine to control the emperor's illness, but I didn't expect the emperor's willpower to be very strong." The Imperial Physician knelt on the ground and attained the truth.
"Well, that's great!" The queen mother knew that the emperor's illness had improved, and rewarded the imperial doctor again and again.
A few days later, the queen mother went to see the emperor, Gao Cheng's face improved a lot, and the imperial doctor Li who treated him saw the emperor's ruddy face, but his heart was even more worried, obviously when he diagnosed, the emperor's pulse was already very weak, and he looked like a dying person, how could he recover so quickly now, in just one month, the emperor suddenly improved, which is incredible.
Imperial Doctor Li didn't dare to publicize it, and still gave the emperor some health prescriptions, and the next day after he saw the doctor, he felt even more strange, but he didn't dare to say anything, as a courtier, he had to carry his head with fear every day, and when he said the wrong thing, his head was displaced, thinking that there were still his wife and daughter at home, he was more and more cautious in doing things.
On the fifth day, Imperial Physician Li was invited to the Ciyuan Hall where the queen lived, and checked the queen's pulse and said: "The queen's face is ruddy, the pulse is extremely peaceful, and Weichen is opening a few health posts for the mother. β
Tian Ruixin stood up slowly, Mama Jin on the side helped her sit up, she glanced at the imperial doctor, and asked in a low voice, "Imperial doctor, how is the emperor's illness?" β
Imperial Physician Li glanced at her face and replied cautiously: "If you go back to the queen, the emperor's illness has gradually improved." β
"Oh, really?" Tian Ruixin raised her eyebrows, she was not a fool, Imperial Physician Li's expression was all in his eyes, she waved her hand, and let the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace go down, and then asked: "How much life does the emperor have to live, tell the palace honestly." β
Imperial Physician Li's face changed greatly, he didn't dare to deceive, sweat on his forehead suddenly like raindrops, he suddenly knelt on the ground and trembled and said: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the emperor's pulse is extremely strange, it seems to be there and there is not, but the emperor's face is very good." β
"Don't talk about him left and right, is there any possibility of curing the emperor's illness?" The queen asked with an impatient frown.
Imperial Physician Li lowered his head and didn't see the queen's expression, so he was so frightened that he spoke quieter: "Back to the queen's mother, the emperor is already dying, but now he is strong and does not look weak at all, and Weichen has shallow medical skills, so he doesn't dare to fiddle in front of the queen." β
Tian Ruixin just smiled faintly: "How many people still know about this matter." β
Imperial Physician Li shook his head: "No one knows about this matter. β
Tian Ruixin nodded: "Don't tell anyone about this matter for the time being, the Queen Mother will talk about it from the palace." β
Even if Imperial Physician Li was too surprised in his heart, he didn't dare to say it, this was a matter between the masters, he was a courtier who just hung his head to do things for the master, they said one, he definitely didn't dare to say two.
"Let's go down!" The queen waved her hand, and Imperial Physician Li kowtowed and left.
Seeing that not long after Imperial Physician Li left, Mama Jin quietly closed all the doors, she walked to the queen's side, and said cautiously: "Queen, look at this matter..." β
Tian Ruixin leaned on the pillow and smiled lazily: "Don't worry, Imperial Doctor Li is naturally timid and afraid of things, so this palace will let him go to check the emperor's pulse." β
Mama Jin suddenly realized, no wonder Imperial Doctor Hu, who had been seeing the emperor before, was gone, it turned out that he was taken out by the queen, and it was obvious that the current situation was controlled by the queen.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Tian Ruixin thoughtfully, it seems that the emperor's illness is just a return, and the final winner is still the queen's mother, it seems that it is inevitable.
"You just do what the palace tells you to do, don't worry about being suspicious, after the matter is completed, your benefits will not be less." Tian Ruixin saw through her thoughts and said lightly.
Mama Jin nodded, thought about it and asked tentatively, "The slave maid heard that Prince Jian is going to be out of the customs in the next few days. β
A smile appeared in the queen's eyes: "So what? Do you think Hongu is such a stupid person? Knowing that another month would be the prince's big day, this palace did something to his fiancΓ©e. β
Mama Jin hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The slave is ignorant, please forgive the mother." β
The queen waved her hand: "Get up!" Don't kneel on the ground at every turn, is Hongu so terrible? She couldn't bear to glance at Mama Jin, "If it weren't for the parents who got in the way, this palace would not have fallen into such a field now!" She slammed the bed hard, "This palace is unwilling to let her man give it up, hmph, fortunately, that emperor will not live long, this palace wants to see how much ability that Lin Ran has to climb over the five fingers mountain of this palace." β
In the Ranyuan Pavilion, Dou Sprouts received the news, and hurriedly rushed to Lin Ranran's side and said, "Miss, the slave maid heard that the emperor has been able to stay for activities these days. β
"Hey, wasn't it rumored that he was dying?" Midori asked in a whisper, "Why is it better now?" This is too incredible, she glanced at Lin Ran suspiciously.
Lin suddenly held her cheeks and thought about it, she had read a lot of books on the emperor's harem before, those emperors would be excited in the short term after eating the immortal medicine containing mercury, but they would become angry and moody in the later stage, and some harem concubines would sometimes add some cinnamon ginger cardamom to the medicine in order to control people's hearts, which can not only have a refreshing effect, but also allow sick people to resurge in a short period of time and restore their good complexion.
"What did the Imperial Doctor say?" Lin suddenly asked.
"Imperial Physician Li said that the emperor is fine, as long as he rests for two days." Dou Sprout told Lin Ran the truth about the news she had gotten.
"How could it be Imperial Doctor Li?" Lin couldn't help frowning, she remembered that Gao Lian once mentioned that the imperial doctor beside the emperor has always been Imperial Doctor Hu, and he has been taking care of him for ten years, how could he change to a imperial doctor?
"The slave maid heard that Imperial Doctor Hu had returned to his hometown some time ago, but no one knew why he suddenly proposed to go back." Bean Sprouts looked at Lin Ranran, "Miss, is there something hidden here?" β
Lin suddenly nodded: "Most of the people around the emperor have been replaced, and looking at this situation, someone deliberately wants to make the emperor sober for a few days!" β
Green Willow's eyes widened, looking quite surprised: "Who would do this?" β
Dou Ya'er said disappreciatively: "Who else can there be, not some princes with ulterior intentions, or pillows who have been sleeping next to him, do you really think that the emperor is so good?" Bean Sprouts said with a matter, and the green willow nodded violently on the side, and looked like he suddenly realized.
Lin suddenly saw the two pairs of bean sprouts and green willows, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, and it seemed that Gao Lian's gloomy mood in the past few days had also dissipated a lot.
Seeing that Miss didn't speak, Dou Sprouts knew that she was thinking about the prince, she was very discerning and pulled Green Willow away, Green Willow still wanted to say something, Dou Sprouts said: "You fool, I didn't see Miss thinking about things alone!" Let's not bother her, let's go to the kitchen and help Mama! β
"Got it, got it, why are you pulling me, you bean sprouts, go slower!" Green Willow followed behind her and shouted dissatisfiedly, until the voices of the two were inaudible, Lin suddenly couldn't help but look up at the gate outside the courtyard, really hoping that he could return safely.
At this time, outside the gate, Quan followed Gao Lian's side, and asked worriedly: "Lord Wang, you are going to meet the king of Donglin Kingdom this time, does Miss Lin know?" β
"What do you say?" Gao Lian smiled and said, "She's very smart, and it's rare that things aren't under her control." β
"But Lord Wang, I heard that the king of Donglin Kingdom is a female king, and he has a soft spot for beautiful men, and the little one doesn't want the prince to risk himself!" Complete on the side of the persuasion, the emperor is terminally ill, but the queen has wolf ambitions and two princes, the three princes conspire to usurp power, the three of them have prepared enough troops to prepare for the death of the emperor to force the palace, the prince knows that Donglin has always had a good relationship with the old prince, and this time the prince used to be able to increase the request for help, only to find the king, who knows that now the head of the Donglin Kingdom is actually the granddaughter of the old king, a woman who has not yet married in 30, in case she takes a fancy to the young master of his Yushu LinfengWhat can I do?
"It's not as scary as you think, let's go, it's getting late, so I'll have to wait for tomorrow." Gao Lian said in front, rushed to the side of the prince on horseback, and said worriedly: "What if that old woman wants to catch you as a son-in-law?" β
Gao Lian didn't speak, his eyes looked straight ahead, he couldn't see the young master's mind clearly, and after a long time, he heard his voice floating from afar: "Everything has its own certainty." β
At the same time, in the study of Ranyuan Pavilion, Lin Ran was absent-mindedly holding the book, and Lu Liu couldn't stand it, so he said angrily: "Miss, did you take the book backwards?" β
Lin suddenly glared at her, and picked up the book again in a pretended manner, Lu Liu patted the vase with a feather duster, and secretly glanced at it again, but she snickered in her heart, since Qin An came back to report that the prince had gone to Donglin Kingdom, she could be calm, but as soon as she heard that she was going to meet a female king who liked beautiful men, she was not calm.
"Miss, how is it that you have been restless all day?" Green Willow walked up to Lin Ran and took her book: "The slave maid smelled vinegar from a long distance. β
"Dead girl, how dare you laugh at me?" Lin suddenly nodded her head, "Usually I am too indulgent to you, you are about to climb on my head?" β
"How dare the slave maid, the slave maid just thinks that the young lady is always restless, it is better to go there in person, is the body and mind of the prince still yours of the young lady."
"Ghost girl, her mouth is so poor." Lin Ran was actually still apprehensive in her heart, although she was not afraid that Gao Lian would not be moved, but she was afraid that the female king of the Eastern Forest Kingdom would have some evil thoughts.
"Bean sprouts, prepare for me, I'm going to go far away." As soon as Lin Ran finished speaking, Dou Sprouts smiled and walked over with Mama Du with the package, "Miss, the slaves and maids have prepared for you, as well as the dry food you need in the car." β
"You guys..." Lin was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
