Chapter 70: The Healer

"Give me a private room, and no one is allowed to disturb me."

Meng Combrow threw a silver ingot to Xiao Er, Xiao Ermei smiled, and immediately led Meng Comb to go upstairs.

She calmed down and leaned against the window and drank tea slowly.

"Miss, why do you look like you've seen a ghost in broad daylight?"

Meng combed his eyebrows and sneered, it would be better if he really saw a ghost, but he was afraid that things would be more terrible than seeing a ghost.

"We saw Jing Ran in the Guogong Mansion that day, and we are not allowed to mention it to anyone, do you know?"

Chun Xing nodded, she had already said this before, how could she say it again.

"I'm afraid this incident may kill us."

Meng combed his eyebrows with a serious expression, and ordered Chun Xing again, no matter who asked, he must be tight-lipped and not let anyone know.

I just hope that Jing Ran is only a temporary interest in himself, and he can forget it after a while.

She sat in the teahouse for a long time, feeling that she had calmed down before she was ready to go back.

Not being speculated about what is going on in your heart is the foundation of your life.

When Jing Qicheng asked how Jing Ran was, Meng Combrow only said that he had been to see it and had nothing to do, so he changed the topic and asked him how Concubine Xian was doing.

"There is news from the palace, saying that it is a head wind."

"Then I'll accompany you into the palace tomorrow to have a look."

Concubine Xian and Jing Qicheng have always been close, if she doesn't go to serve the sick, I'm afraid someone will make irresponsible remarks.

I heard that when the queen was sick, Wang Qifu personally served the decoction.

Filial piety comes first, and she, the princess, naturally has to do everything so that others can't find thorns.

"It's okay, I'll be free tomorrow."

Jing Qicheng has been a lot busy recently, after all, the emperor also assigned him some things to do.

Judging by what he meant, it seems that he doesn't want to deliberately hide his edge in front of the prince.

The prince who pretended to be so deep in the past is still afraid of himself, not to mention that after Luzhou came back, the emperor also had a different opinion of him.

Since no matter what, the prince will let him suppress himself, why bother to blindly cower?

Concubine Xian was sick this time, and the emperor was also very concerned, and he would go to the Golden Hazel Pavilion every day when he went to the court.

is worthy of being the concubine of the harem, even after so many years, the emperor's favor is still the same as before, I don't know how many concubines are secretly red-eyed.

Meng combs her eyebrows and personally brought the medicine to Concubine Xian to drink, and Concubine Xian was very relieved and couldn't stop praising her.

"If the mother doesn't dislike it, just treat the daughter-in-law as a daughter."

She said that her eyes turned red, Concubine Xian knew that her mother died early, and Yue's stepmother had always been bad to her, seeing that Meng Combs was so sensible and obedient, where was there any reason not to love.

"It seems that Cheng'er has you by your side, which really reassures me."

Meng Combrow really knows too well the thoughts of people like Concubine Xian, as long as she stimulates Concubine Xian's motherhood, it will definitely make her love herself very much.

She is not all pretending, after all, she is Jing Qicheng's nominal concubine, and she will definitely try her best to take care of it.

I heard that Concubine Xian also had a child before, and she was conceived at about the same time as Concubine Jing, but unfortunately she was congenitally deficient during childbirth, and she was born a stillbirth.

And when Jing Qicheng was just full moon, Concubine Jing also died, and the emperor handed Jing Qicheng over to Concubine Xian to raise.

It can only be said that their orphans and widows are really fateful.

Concubine Xian is like a son to Jing Qicheng, even when he is reckless and everyone dislikes him, Concubine Xian feels sorry for him.

It can be seen that although they are not related by blood, they are really close.

Meng combed her eyebrows and teased Concubine Xian happily, and when she heard that there was a eunuch outside and the emperor was coming, she quickly got up and knelt down to greet her.

Although Concubine Xian lingered on the sickbed, she insisted on her luggage, and the emperor was very distressed, so she was busy letting Jing Qicheng support her.

Looking at the emperor's complexion today, it doesn't seem to be very good.

"Today in Chaoshang, what do you think of the excerpt of the book of the Gu University?"

The emperor asked Jing Qicheng.

He played a Tai Chi: "Erchen believes that his father is wise and has his own decisions. ”

In the early dynasties, the scholar of Gu University proposed to cancel the recommendation for the imperial examination in the future, although the emperor felt that what he said was very reasonable, but the left and right ministers were resolutely opposed.

They all said that it was already a kindness to let Han Shi participate in the imperial examination, and if they were canceling the recommendation, wouldn't anyone be able to take the exam.

Listening to the emperor's meaning, in fact, as Jing Qi Cheng thought, they all realized that the power of the clan had gradually become very large, and if it was not contained, it was likely to shake the imperial power.

But if he responds directly, the courtiers will strongly oppose it, for fear that it will also shake the court.

The emperor is very embarrassed, he needs the family to consolidate the imperial power, but he also has to beware of them shaking the country's foundation.

Although this matter was Jing Qicheng behind the scenes, it didn't seem to have anything to do with him on the surface, and Jing Qicheng didn't say anything above the court.

Meng Combrow saw them discussing state affairs, and hurriedly said that she was a woman and that she was not suitable for politics, so she had better step down first.

"What I'm talking about is that state affairs are also family affairs, so it's okay."

Every time the emperor arrived at the Golden Hazel Pavilion, he felt very relaxed, so he didn't have too many scruples when he spoke.

In fact, she felt that Jing Qicheng already had a plan in her heart, but she couldn't explain it directly to the emperor.

He has just had a chance to perform in front of the emperor, and if he is in a hurry, it will only make the emperor feel that he has something else to do.

"Niangniang, a few days ago, Erchen heard a joke outside, why don't I tell it to you."

Concubine Xian smiled and asked Meng to comb her eyebrows, but it was okay to say.

She cleared her throat and said, "There is a staff member in the capital, he is very rich, he wants to build a yard, and many people want to do his business. ”

"But, after a long time, his yard has not been built, mother, do you know why?"

The emperor interjected on the side: "It must be stingy outside the hospital." ”

Meng combed his eyebrows and shook his head, this person is generous when he goes out.

The emperor and Concubine Xian both looked confused, only Jing Qicheng's mouth had a slight smile on his face.

"Actually, that's right, building a house requires a lot of people to work together, but the carpenter said that the plasterer was paid more than he gave himself, and the plasterer said that the bricklayer did the least, but the salary was the same as his own, which was not fair at all."

In the end, they are fighting every day over wages, and even if they give more money from outside the staff, they can't make everyone happy, so the house can't be built in another ten years.

The emperor laughed, these people really like to covet petty profits.

Meng Combrow also laughed: "Father Emperor Shengming, in fact, these people are not satisfied with anything, they just want to get the greatest benefit for themselves, and the house is not theirs anyway." ”

She said it vividly, and the sick concubine couldn't help laughing, and her face was a little ruddy.
