The news of Zhang Lingyang's illness spread to all corners of the palace in less than half an hour.

After Queen Wang, Concubine Wu Xian, Li Meiren, Song Jieyu, Chun Concubine, Jin Jieyu and other concubines heard the news, they went to visit the Yangxin Palace.

As for the noble concubine, because of yesterday's greed, she also caught a cold, and she was lying in bed drinking medicine at this time.

However, after hearing the news of Zhang Lingyang's illness, Concubine Gao struggled to get up and wanted to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to visit.

The palace maid serving below said: "Niangniang, you are still sick, if you want to come or not, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother will not be blamed." ”

Concubine Gao smiled bitterly and said, "What do you know? The emperor's illness was caused by the palace, and if the palace did not go at the moment, I was afraid that the queen mother and the queen would not be able to spare the palace. ”

"You shouldn't be waiting for the palace to change your clothes!" Seeing that the palace maid was in a daze, the noble concubine scolded.

"Yes, slave and maid are coming!" The palace maid didn't dare to dissuade her anymore, and after waiting for the noble concubine to put on her clothes, she walked towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Xu was dining, and heard the little eunuch below reply that Zhang Lingyang was sick and hurriedly inquired about the situation.

How can there be a secret in the harem? The little eunuch told the Empress Dowager Xu about Zhang Lingyang and the noble concubine yesterday.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Xu's brows furrowed, and she said to herself: "This noble concubine, the last time the emperor fell into the water, it was because of her, I don't want to be unrepentant until now, I only know how to blindly seduce the emperor!" It seems that the mourning family doesn't give her a little punishment, she doesn't know how to repent! ”

Mama Zhou, who was serving the Empress Dowager Xu next to her, heard this, chuckled and said, "The slave maid also heard about yesterday's incident, but speaking of which, the matter of Long Live Lord catching a cold is really not to blame on the noble concubine." What kind of temperament is our long live lord, don't you know the queen mother? Besides, the slave maid heard that the noble concubine also caught a cold, and if the queen mother punished the noble concubine at this moment, I was afraid that the long live lord would be distressed. ”

"Alas! This prince of the mourning family! Speaking of Zhang Lingyang, Empress Dowager Xu also had a headache.

"If you want to say something wrong, the queen mother is also a little at fault!" Mama Zhou continued.

"The queen's temper is known to the mourning family!" Empress Dowager Xu nodded, "The queen's temper is too soft, she only knows how to blindly obey the emperor, and she doesn't have the slightest momentum of the lord of the harem." ”

Mama Zhou smiled: "The queen wants to be tough, but she has to have this confidence, right?" What is the situation of the queen's maiden home, the Marquis of Anguo, don't you know the queen mother? Besides, the queen has no heirs by her side, so she can only blindly obey the long live lord! Otherwise, if she is not careful, I am afraid that her position as queen will not be kept. ”

"Who dares to mourn the family?" Empress Dowager Xu snorted coldly, then sighed, and said: "What you said is also the truth, the Marquis of Anguo's mansion is weak, and the concubines' maiden families are extremely strong, and the queen's position is uncomfortable, which is also understandable." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Mama Zhou echoed, "Not to mention that Concubine Gao's father and brother have heavy troops in their hands, they are rare generals in the imperial court, but Concubine Wu Xian's father is also the governor of a province, and he is in charge of peace." The queen is not afraid, so what is the strange thing? ”

"Don't talk about it!" Empress Dowager Xu stopped Mama Zhou's words and said, "First accompany the mourning family to the Heart Cultivation Hall to see the emperor!" ”

With that, Empress Dowager Xu got up and walked out of Cining Palace and headed in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

At this moment, there was a lot of noise in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling better now? But where do you feel uncomfortable, the concubine will rub it for you? ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine has just stewed a bowl of ginseng soup, can you taste it?"

……

Around Zhang Lingyang, the concubines pinched their shoulders, rubbed their heads, or beat their legs, and talked about their care for themselves.

Zhang Lingyang felt like there were thousands of bees in his ears, 'buzzing'.

As long as the queen and Concubine Wu Xian sat on the stool on the side from afar, with a faint smile on their faces, they looked pampered and not surprised.

At this time, the noble concubine walked in with the support of the palace maid.

As soon as they saw the noble concubine come in, all the concubines quieted down, and looked at the noble concubine with raised eyebrows, as if they were eager to cut it with a thousand knives.

"The concubine has seen the emperor!" When she came to the bed, the noble concubine made a salute with great difficulty.

"Concubine Ai also caught a cold?" Seeing that Concubine Gao's face was also a little pale, Zhang Lingyang asked.

"It's just a little cold, the concubine is fine!" A smile appeared on the noble concubine's face and said, "It's the emperor, if it weren't for the concubine, the emperor wouldn't have caught a cold, it's all the concubine's fault!" ”

"How can I blame you for this?" Zhang Lingyang stretched out his hand and pulled the noble concubine to his side and sat down.

Clapping the cold little hand of the noble concubine, Zhang Lingyang said: "Speaking of which, it's all me, if it weren't for me, the concubine wouldn't have been cold!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Zhang Lingyang actually apologized to himself, the tears in the noble concubine's eyes swirled.

"Don't cry, Concubine Ai's cry is not beautiful!" Reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of the noble concubine's eyes, Zhang Lingyang comforted.

"Your Majesty, are the other sisters still there?" Only then did the noble concubine burst into tears and laughed, and said coquettishly.

Next to them, the concubines saw that the noble concubine not only did not receive Zhang Lingyang's reproach, but was also comforted by Zhang Lingyang's kind words, and they were annoyed and hateful.

I can't wait to replace the noble concubine myself.

However, when Zhang Lingyang turned around to look at them, everyone looked docile and lovely again.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

At this moment, a shout rang out from outside the temple.

Hearing the shout, except for Zhang Lingyang, who was still lying on the bed, everyone got up one after another and saluted the Empress Dowager Xu, who entered the hall: "The concubine has seen the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager be blessed and safe!" ”

"Get up!" Empress Dowager Xu didn't even raise her eyelids, said a word, and walked straight to Zhang Lingyang's side and made it to the bed.

"Why is the Queen Mother here?" Zhang Lingyang asked.

"If it weren't for hearing that the emperor was sick, the mourning family would have loved not coming here for the rest of their lives!"

"It's all the sons, isn't it, it makes the queen mother worried!" Zhang Lingyang made a compensation to Empress Dowager Xu.

"What is wrong with me right now? What did the Imperial Doctor say? Empress Dowager Xu touched Zhang Lingyang's forehead and asked with concern.

"It's just a little cold, it's fine!" Zhang Lingyang said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Xu nodded noncommittally, then turned to look at the room of concubines, her brows tightly locked.

"The emperor is sick and needs to recuperate, and the people in your big room are noisy and shouting, and they can be heard from afar, what kind of system is it? Go back to their respective dormitories! ”

Empress Dowager Xu scolded everyone, and then said: "The queen, the virtuous concubine, and the noble concubine stay!" ”

After speaking, his eyes looked straight at the noble concubine.

After the concubines retired, Empress Dowager Xu said: "Noble concubine, it's not the mourning family who said you, how can you let the emperor come?" ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Xu meant to blame, the noble concubine's face turned a little paler, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "It's all the concubine's fault, the concubine doesn't dare to quibble, please punish the queen mother!" ”
