21. Spicy hands destroy old flowers

Although the Imperial Doctor arrived, he was unable to diagnose and treat him immediately.

Because the queen mother hurt the skin of the chest and abdomen, although the imperial doctor was an old man with a lot of beard, he did not dare to look at the queen mother's delicate body with his own eyes.

So he called the female doctor of the palace again.

The Queen Mother hummed and lifted her close-fitting cloak behind the tent.

It was the height of spring, and the heavy clothes in winter had already changed into light shirts, so although there were several layers of clothes, the hot tea still burned a large piece of the Queen Mother's skin from her chest to her navel. Fortunately, there was no blistering, which was not very serious, but Rao was like this, and the Queen Mother was also so painful that she wiped her tears.

The emperor, who had just left Changle Palace, heard that the Queen Mother was injured, and rushed back non-stop.

As soon as I entered the inner hall, I saw Concubine Duan kneeling at the door, crying like pear blossoms and rain.

Seeing that the emperor was coming, he hurriedly walked a few steps, hugged the emperor's leg and cried: "The concubine is guilty, the concubine didn't mean it." ”

Li Rui was anxious in his heart, where could he pay attention to her, his legs shook, he shook the person to the side, hurriedly walked in, and opened his mouth to ask, "Where is the queen?" ”

Zhao Yanrong stood beside the imperial physician and looked anxious, but in fact, he watched him prescribe a prescription calmly, and when he saw the emperor rushing in, everyone quickly knelt down and saluted.

Li Rui asked everyone to get up, and seeing that Zhao Yanrong looked very calm, knowing that she was fine, his heart was half relieved.

I heard the faint moaning of the Queen Mother behind the tent, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly and asked, "What's the matter?" Isn't it okay? ”

Zhao Yanrong pouted into the tent and whispered: "Sister Duanfei fell when she was serving tea, and somehow she fell into the arms of the queen mother, and a cup of hot tea was poured all over it." ”

No wonder Concubine Duan knelt there and cried silently.

But Concubine Duan is not such a frizzy person. I haven't made a mistake in Changle Palace for so long, how can I hurt the Queen Mother after staying with the Queen for less than half an hour?

Li Rui went to see Zhao Yanrong.

What do you want me to do? Zhao Yanrong rolled her eyes in her heart.

The imperial doctor prescribed the prescription, and took out the ointment to treat the scalds, and asked the female doctor to give medicine to the queen mother.

The Queen Mother scolded behind the curtain: "Queen, where is the Queen?" Where did you die if you didn't give medicine to the mourning family? ”

Everyone in the palace shrank their heads.

In her early years, the Queen Mother was not like this.

When the first emperor was still there, as the first favorite concubine of the harem, Concubine Zhang De was called a gentle and graceful woman, silent and smiling, soft-spoken, not at all like a girl from a butcher's house. But after the former prince was deposed, she seemed to be a different person, and her temper became irritable and irritable.

When the first emperor recorded King Kang in her name, he definitely didn't think that the peerless beauty he loved would become so marketable after becoming the queen mother.

But no matter how popular she is, she is also the queen mother of the same name, she must feel that her position is as stable as Mount Tai, so she will no longer have scruples and release her true nature.

Great Qi puts filial piety first, and as the emperor of Great Qi, of course, he must also be the first filial son of Great Qi.

And as the queen of Daqi, how can she be unfilial?

So Zhao Yanrong lifted the tent, squeezed to the side of the queen mother's bed, and said very gently and submissively: "Queen Mother, the daughter-in-law went to get the medicine, isn't this coming?" ”

Then his fingers dug out a large lump of green and cool ointment in the porcelain jar, and "snapped" and pasted it on the queen mother's stomach.

"Whew!" The Queen Mother's screams almost toppled the roof of Changle Palace.

Zhao Yanrong did not move, so she applied the ointment to the queen mother's body.

", with such a heavy hand, you want to kill the mourning family!" The Queen Mother screamed miserably and grabbed Zhao Yanrong's wrist, "Come on, come on!" ”

"Mother, good medicine is always bitter, you have an injury on your body, I am afraid that the pain will not be able to take medicine. What a pity if a beautiful person like you has a scar on his body. Zhao Yanrong's voice came from inside the tent, "Good, queen mother, it will be fine in a while, it's like being bitten by a mosquito, it will be fine soon, don't be afraid." ”

Everyone heard that the queen mother was disgusted with the medicine, and the queen patiently persuaded her.

The queen mother is angry, how can she tell people that the queen is taking medicine, that is, pressing her down and slapping her and beating her.

Zhao Yanrong flipped her wrist and broke free from the Queen Mother's hand, and when she saw that she was about to get up, she asked the two medical women on the side to hold her up.

"Queen Mother, don't lose your child's temper, just endure it a little and let it pass, let your daughter-in-law rub the medicine into it, and you can get better faster." As he spoke, there were two crisp sounds, and Li Rui, who was standing outside the tent, moved his eyebrows a few times.

The imperial physician on the side hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to speak, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of the emperor's warning eyes, and the words rolled in his mouth a few times before being swallowed back.

Where can I rub the burned skin vigorously, it's not easy to get good and it hurts!

Listening to the screams of the Queen Mother coming from the tent, the imperial doctor shrunk his neck, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

The same medicine as the last sentence was finally over, and the queen mother's throat was hoarse, and she was sweating, and she was almost prostration.

"Your Majesty, the medicine in the Tai Hospital is very good, and the concubine is estimated to be touching, maybe she will be able to stop the pain at night. Why don't you stay in Changle Palace tonight to serve the sick. ”

"No need!" The Queen Mother was palpitating, and said tremblingly, "Let Concubine Duan come, it's enough to have Concubine Duan." ”

"How does this work?" Zhao Yanrong said, "The queen mother was injured, so naturally she asked her daughter-in-law to serve." The emperor still has to take care of the affairs of the previous dynasty, and he can't get away from the busy government affairs, otherwise he is willing to stay and serve the queen mother. ”

"Let Concubine Duan come, what about Concubine Duan?" The Queen Mother called out to Concubine Duan in a weak voice.

"She was injured after killing her mother, and now she is kneeling outside to see what her mother will do."

After this toss, Concubine Duan had been kneeling outside for more than two hours, and she couldn't get up at all, so she was still carried in by the two stout grandmothers of Changle Palace.

Concubine Duan's makeup was already on at this time, her hair was scattered, and she didn't know how many hairpins had fallen out of her hair, her eyes were swollen, and she cried again as soon as she arrived at the bed.

"What are you crying about, the queen mother is fine." Zhao Yanrong frowned and said, "With such thick branches and leaves, how can you serve in front of the mother?" ”

The Queen Mother said angrily: "What's the matter with her? The mourning family didn't punish her, but you actually punished her for kneeling for so long? ”

"Queen Mother, why is it none of her business?" Zhao Yanrong said aggrievedly, "She poured all the boiling tea on you, if it weren't for her, could you suffer this crime?" ”

The Queen Mother's voice choked, and she scolded again: "It's not that you use that boiling water to make tea?" You want to burn the mourning family to death. ”

Zhao Yanrong sighed and said, "Queen Mother, you said that the cup was cold before, and this cup will naturally be hot in the palace." Besides, even if I made the tea, I didn't splash it on you. ”

Concubine Duan cried and kowtowed: "It's the concubine's fault, the concubine's body is not stable." ”

She thought that she would fall because she stepped on her skirt, but she didn't expect that it would be the queen who would stumble behind her. The emperor refuses to be close to her, the queen mother is her only backer in the palace, if the queen mother has an opinion on her again, then how can she live in the palace.

Concubine Duan was anxious, scared and regretful, she knew that this would happen, and she should not have taken the tea tray stuffed by the queen when she died.

But regret is useless, the Queen Mother was burned, if according to the Queen Mother's temperament, ordinary palace maids made such a mistake, I am afraid that they would have been dragged out and killed.

"It's none of your business." The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and emphasized again.

The doctors and the healed women kept their heads down. They only care about seeing and treating the disease, and they can't figure out these complicated relationships in the palace and don't dare to pay attention to them. Just don't affect yourself.

The Emperor listened and had a rough idea of what had happened.

He naturally didn't know about Zhao Yanrong tripping over Concubine Duan, he just thought it was an accident. However, the Queen Mother's completely different attitude towards the queen and Concubine Duan was clear.

"Hurt the queen mother's phoenix body, Concubine Duan, are you guilty?" Li Rui said with a calm face.

"The concubine is guilty, and asks the queen mother and the emperor for forgiveness." Concubine Duan fell to the ground, her body shaking into chaff.

"Then ......"

Before the emperor could say his opinion on how to deal with it, he heard the roar of the Empress Dowager Zhang from inside the tent: "The mourning family is not dead yet!" ”

Li Rui raised his eyebrows, looked at Concubine Duan and sneered: "Since the queen mother is not to blame, then I don't care." Queen, I will send you back to Zhaoyang Palace. ”

Zhao Yanrong looked at Concubine Duan, then looked at the tent curtain, imagined the queen mother trembling with anger behind the tent, felt that today was also a complete day, and was about to go back, but she didn't expect the queen mother to suddenly speak again.

"The queen stays!"

Still want to stay? Is this relieved again? Zhao Yanrong blinked her eyes and said to Li Rui: "Look, the queen mother is reluctant to leave as a concubine." Well, stay for the night. ”
