Chapter 15: The First Meeting with the Concubine

Seeing the maid's resolute attitude, Bai Ling also gave up for the time being. She asked Bao Yuan a lot of details, such as whether Niangniang has a feeling of heavy day and light night recently, whether she wakes up in the morning and is particularly depressed, and in the afternoon and night, these feelings will improve slightly.

These questions surprised everyone present, and the symptoms she said were ...... It seems a little too detailed, and no doctor asks these questions when they don't even see the patient.

But the more Bao Yuan listened, the brighter her eyes became, and she nodded from time to time and said "yes, yes...... That's right".

In this way, Bai Ling further asked if she could relay all her words to the mother for confirmation.

Bao Yuan didn't say anything, picked up the hem of her skirt and went to the inner room, and came out with a surprised smile on her face.

"The mother said yes, she woke up every day feeling drowsy, she didn't like to move, she barely ate something after the afternoon, and sometimes she was tired from lying in bed, and only came down in the evening to go for a walkβ€”and only then did she have the heart to go out."

Everyone's eyes fell on Bai Lingβ€”no wonder this girl asked in front of the emperor to come back after Shen Shi!

Bai Ling asked again, "Does Niangniang feel that her brain is slower than before, her memory is poor, and she occasionally feels nervous and uneasy." Even if you like and do things you like to do in the past, you can't get the slightest interest when you think about it now? ”

Bao Yuan immediately replied: "Yes! ”

Bai Ling stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "Please come into the house and confirm again." ”

"Okay." Bao Yuan entered the room again, and when she came out, she replied affirmatively, "Niang Niang said that if she didn't mention this, she didn't think of this incident." In the past, I loved to sew dance clothes, but now I don't have the strength to do these things, and I don't want to see them. ”

Bai Ling raised his eyes, "May I ask when did Niangniang have these situations?" ”

Bao Yuan: "Naturally, half a year ago, the doctors all knew. ”

Bai Ling shook his head, "Half a year ago, Niangniang continued to suffer from insomnia after giving birth, so I thought of looking for a doctor." When did I start to be depressed every day and feel that my surroundings were boring, can I ask my sister to help me ask again? ”

After a while, Bao Yuanqian walked out, and said to Bai Ling in a crisp voice, "Girl, my mother is invited." ”

Imperial Physician Wang was first taken aback, "What? ”

Bao Yuan raised his head and looked directly into Imperial Physician Wang's eyes, and repeated word by word, "Didn't Imperial Physician Wang hear clearly, my mother-in-law invited Miss Bai Ling to go in and talk alone." ”

Wang Jihang looked at the people around him, and everyone was shocked, and then it exploded into a pot of porridge.

"This ...... What a system this becomes! This woman's teacher is unknown, how can she be so reckless and let her enter the house alone! ”

"Yes, if it weren't for the urgency, there would never be a reason to enter the concubine's inner room!"

"Please take back your life! We old ministers can still help keep an eye on her outside, and if she is left alone, in case she says something ridiculousβ€”"

"I think what you said is ridiculous," Bao Yuanyuan laughed out loud, she stood at the front with her waist crossed, "You are men, of course you can't enter the back room of the mother, but this is a little girl, can you still be ridiculous?" ”

On the side, Yuan Zhen immediately coughed with a stiff face, and Bao Yuan restrained slightly, but she didn't seem to buy Yuan Gonggong's account, but threw the words to Yuan Zhen with a bit of banter, "Yuan Gonggong, you are the old man in this palace, why don't you come and get an idea?" ”

How could Yuan Zhen not hear the ridicule in the maid's words, but he still glanced at the other party blankly, and said with a smile, "Niangniang has made an order, where is my turn to take the idea?" ”

As he spoke, Yuan Zhen looked at Bai Ling, "Niangniang called you, go in and answer." ”

"Wait!" Qu Xiu stood up and whispered, "Gonggong Yuan!" I'm afraidβ€”"

Before Qu Xiu finished speaking, Yuan Zhen on the side had already chuckled and said, "Lord Qu is relieved." ”

"Father-in-law, I'm afraid-"

Qu Xiu didn't finish the second half of the sentence, Yuan Zhen had already given Qu Xiu a look.

"Who does what errand," Yuan Zhen's voice was still as slow as ever, "Don't worry too much about Lord Qu." What should be said on the way, what should be advised, the sprinkle family has not fallen a word, what about the mother next, it still depends on the blessings of each person, you are so anxious here that it is useless. ”

Qu Xiu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

This Bai Ling, after coming in, neither cut the pulse, nor asked Qu's body, but kept asking Qu how he was in mood and how he felt.

But seeing that Yuan Zhen was calm and relaxed, Qu Xiu was not easy to attack, so he could only stand outside and wait together.

Bai Ling stood up, glanced back at his father and brother in the crowd, smiled at them and nodded, and then went straight into Qu Guifei's inner room.

Between the inner room and the outer room, there are three layers of thick curtains, which also isolate some of the sounds. It's quiet in the house, but it's noisy outside, so it's easy to hear what's being said outside, but it's not easy to hear what's going on inside.

Further inside, it was the first time that Bai Ling had seen the concubine at such a close distance.

The light in the room was very dim, and the concubine was hidden behind the gauze tent, so she couldn't see anything, but the faint outline had already revealed a rare beauty.

Qu's swan neck hangs slightly, like a flower branch that has been pressed down by the weight of a flower.

Through the gauze tent, Qu Shi looked at Bai Ling, "Are you the companion who has been treating the Queen Mother?" ”

Bai Ling's heart sank slightly, she didn't expect that the first question she heard after coming in would be so tricky, she replied calmly, "Back to Niangniang, the folk girl doesn't know what Niangniang is talking about." ”

Qu Shi smiled, "You are young, and your mouth is very strict...... Keep your head up. ”

Bai Ling stood up, took a few steps closer, and knelt down again.

Qu's voice was very soft, "Since you said that you must inquire, and now that you have met, why are you so far away?" ”

Bao Yuan reminded later, "Niangniang is calling you flat." ”

Only then did Bai Ling raise her head and stand up, her gaze just happened to be able to catch up on Qu Guifei, who was usually lying on the couch.

A hand stretched out from the gauze tent and gently opened a corner, and Bao Yuan immediately understood Qu's meaning and stepped forward to help her tie the gauze tent on both sides.

This is probably the twilight of beauty.

Bai Ling looked at Qu.

Even though the powder had been applied, the darkness under the sockets of Qu's eyes could not be concealed, the neck of the flower-like branch when the veil was separated had many fine lines when seen closely, the eyes that were smiling innocently were bloodshot, and the eyelids were still a little swollen - I am afraid that I had cried today.

Qu Shi, who is only twenty-seven years old, now looks like she is thirty-four or five years old, and she can no longer find the beautiful woman who moved to Gyeonggi at the palace banquet a few years ago. Is it depression that robbed the concubine of her life, or has the burden of childbirth not recovered?

Bai Ling didn't understand for a while.

The four eyes were facing each other, and seeing that Bai Ling's gaze did not dodge, Qu Shi was somewhat surprised in his heart, but this little girl's eyes were gentle and not annoying.

Qu Shi called her to come to him, "Are you called Bai Ling?" ”

"Yes." Bai Ling replied.

Qu Shi sighed, held Bai Ling's hand, and said in a low voice, "If I had such a daughter, I wouldn't let her get involved in such a thing...... Your father is so confused. ”

Bai Ling leaned back on Qu's couch, "Why did Niangniang say that?" ”

Qu Shi let out a long sigh of relief, looked at a vase not far away, and said in a low voice, "My own body, I know it myself...... This disease is very different from the past, the body and the brain are as if they have been emptied...... The imperial doctor couldn't find out what the problem was, and the medicine was prescribed one after another, and it didn't get better......"

Qu Shi smiled, "I'm afraid it is...... I can't get up again. ”

Bao Yuan couldn't help but interject, "Niangniang! ”

Qu Shi glanced at Bao Yuanyuan with a smile, but Bai Ling couldn't tell whether it was a smile or some kind of mask-like expression that Qu had long been used to.

"You're still so young," Qu Shi looked at Bai Ling again and said softly, "Be careful in the future, don't let yourself get involved in this kind of right and wrong." ”

Bai Ling asked tentatively, "What does Niangniang want to do?" ”
