Chapter 233: Illness (4)
She was already beautiful, and she cried silently like this, it was really like responding to the sentence pear blossoms with rain, and the hearts of the people who watched it were soft, and the queen glanced at Lan Xin who was sitting on the side with dissatisfaction, and comforted again: "It's only to blame that this doctor is not good at medical skills, and he almost made my sister suffer an injustice." β
Lan Xin also said in a timely manner: "Isn't it-my sister is also anxious about the affairs of the concubine, and I blame this dog slave!" β
She snorted, turned her head to look at the imperial doctor on the side, the imperial doctor was busy prostrate on the ground, walked all the way to Tuoba Chen's face, and cried: "Your Majesty, the old minister - it's all to blame the old minister for not being good at learning and almost harming the Xi nobles, it's the old minister's fault, the old minister's fault." β
As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped his face one after another, and in just a moment, his whole face became red and swollen.
He Xi didn't speak, just looked at everyone coldly, Tuoba Chen took a deep breath and said: "As a imperial doctor, your medical skills are missing, this is full of palaces, who will dare to let you see a doctor from now on?" β
The imperial physician was so old that he was already so frightened that he couldn't cry, and the queen looked at Yu and said unbearably: "Your Majesty, not all people are as knowledgeable and talented as Imperial Doctor Lu, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissionsββ"
When the emperor saw the empress like this, he said coldly: "What, if Lu Chuan didn't come today, what does the empress plan to do with the Xi nobles?" β
The queen was stunned, and the look on her face was also a little stiff, and Qiao'er interjected on the side: "Your Majesty, the queen doesn't mean that, the queen is pure-minded, and she can't bear to punish anyone because of this matter." β
Lan Ruo bowed her head silently, admiring Qiao'er in her heart for her quick response, and indeed, she didn't say anything to deal with He Xi's matter.
Through Qiao'er's words, she also said faintly: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you feel sorry for the noble Xi, why don't the concubines feel sorry for the concubine's sister, the concubine is now the same as the concubine's sister, and she has her own child in her wombββ"
As she spoke, she caressed her lower abdomen with a face full of love and pampering.
When Tuoba Chen heard him say this, his heart couldn't help but soften, and said: "Okay, today's matter has passed like this, you, you will be fined for one year, Lu Chuan, you arrange for him to do something else, don't let him appear in front of me in the future." β
Lu Chuan, as the envoy of the Tai Hospital, naturally has this right, and Lu Chuan should go.
Concubine Hui was worried about what the imperial doctor would reveal, and hurriedly said, "Don't get down quickly, it's an eyesore here." β
The imperial doctor hurriedly retreated, Concubine Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and Fuqing was also very eye-catching, and helped He Xi up.
Tuoba Chen just looked at He Xi, and didn't say anything comforting, but said to Lu Chuan: "You go and see Concubine Shu." β
Lu Chuan nodded, Lan Xin was a lot quieter after what had just happened, and she was not so aggressive.
After a while, Lu Chuan came out and said: "Niangniang is indeed cold and hot, the minister will prescribe some mild medicine, but the dose will be halved to ensure that the fetus is foolproof, if Niangniang still feels that the body heat is unbearable, just follow the previous method of Xi nobles, wipe your body with wine." β
Green Pothos nodded, Tuoba Chen looked around and said, "Okay, it's been noisy for a long time, you two are people with bodies, go back and rest early, Xi Guiren stay, and go in with me to see Concubine Shu." β
The queen and Concubine Hui and the concubines stood up softly and took their leave.
After everyone left, Tuoba Chen walked in front of He Xi, stretched out his hand and grabbed He Xi's hand and said, "I have wronged you." β
He Xi had a mocking smile in her heart, and before she could fill her heart, she pressed down, and she said: "What grievances does the concubine have, Your Majesty is not the one who should be punished, and the concubine is the master, and the concubine is already content." β
Tuoba Chen seemed to like He Xi so much that he knew how to advance and retreat, patted the back of her hand and said, "I know that you can understand what I mean, okay, follow me to see Concubine Shu." β
The green pothos opened the curtain for the two, Concubine Shu had woken up faintly, and was half-leaning on the bedrail, but her face was still pale and red, obviously the high fever had not subsided, and when she saw He Xi coming in with Tuoba Chen, she called: "Your Majesty-"
There was infinite lowness and resentment in that voice, and Tuoba Chen sat next to her, and He Xi stood aside, looking at her somewhat dry lips.
Tuoba Chen stretched out his hand and touched Xu Qing'er's hidden under the quilt, and said on her bulging abdomen: "I let Imperial Doctor Lu see it, and said that as long as you take the medicine on time, you will be fine, with me, you can rest assured." β
Xu Qing'er's originally ruddy face became more and more ruddy, and she said: "With Your Majesty here, the concubine will feel at ease." β
As he spoke, he leaned weakly into Tuoba's arms, and then looked at He Xi, who was looking at his nose and nose, and said: "This time, I really want to thank my sister, I just heard what Luluo said, no matter what others say, I believe my sister." β
He Xi smiled faintly and said, "The concubine just came up with an idea, but I also blame the concubine for being careless." Fortunately, nothing happened, and if it was really me, then I would be to blame. β
Her voice was indifferent and detached, Xu Qing'er was still a little grateful, and said: "Even if my sister is unintentional, it is for Qing'er's good, Your Majesty, you have to believe that your sister is." β
Tuoba Chen lovingly touched Xu Qing'er's broken hair hanging between his temples and said: "I naturally believe it, okay, you are sick now, you have to rest well, I still have something to do, I will come to see you later." β
Xu Qing'er nodded, and asked the green pothos to send the two out of the palace, He Xi followed behind Tuoba Chen, and walked towards Lingxiu Palace step by step, in front of the door of Lingxiu Palace, the two stopped, Tuoba Chen turned around and said: "I originally wanted to go to see Lin'er, but I remembered that half a month later, there will be envoys to Beijing, and the Ministry of Household and Rites will have excerpts every day because of this matterββ"
"Your Majesty just has to go and be busy with state affairs, there are concubines in this Lingxiu Palace, Your Majesty can rest assured." He Xi said lightly.
Tuoba Chen nodded, then turned his head to look at the Ice Spring Palace on the side, and said: "Concubine Shu's temperament is not as calm as yours, there may have been some misunderstandings between you earlier, but now it seems to have been lifted, I see the two of you, it can be regarded as a friendship, and if there is anything in this Ice Spring Palace in the future, I still need you to help with it." β
He Xi nodded obediently and said, "The concubine knows, the concubine must pay attention and do my best." β
Tuoba Chen was relieved, and was helped by Fuqing to get into the sedan chair and leave.
Ruyi took two steps forward and said, "Little Lord, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" β
He Xi's eyes were bright and he smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that she also has such a mind now, it doesn't matter what he means, the important thing is that Concubine Shu's purpose has been achieved." β
Ruyi was puzzled, but He Xi seemed to be a little tired and sighed and said, "Okay, let's go back to the palace." β
The two returned to the palace and saw the little palace maid who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping was busy in the palace, with a slender figure and a beautiful back.
He Xi glanced at it and said, "Who is this?" How come I've never seen one? β
The palace maid heard He Xi's voice, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said: "If you return to the words of the nobles, the slave and maid are newly transferred by the Internal Affairs Office, and the grandfather Sun said that the queen mother said that the eldest prince is older, and there is only a nurse and mother around him, so I am afraid that I can't take care of it, so I specially sent another sister to come over to serve."
He Xi frowned, looked at Ruyi and said, "Why did the Internal Affairs Office call people over, but I don't know?" β
Ruyi immediately said: "Back to the little master, I came here this morning, and before I could tell you, something happened to Concubine Niangniang." β
The little maid was also quite clever, and said busily: "The slave knows that the little master doesn't know yet, so I'll wait for the little master and say hello to the little master." β
He Xi looked at her coquettish look and said, "What's your name?" β
The palace maid saluted respectfully and said: "If you go back to the mother, the slave maid's name is Zijin, and the one who came with the slave and maid is the twin sister of the concubine, and her name is Zipei. β
He Xi slowly read the names of these two people and said: "Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart." Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound? Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come? It's really a good name, but what about your sister? β
Zijin smiled and said: "Zipei followed the nurse and grandma to take the eldest prince to play in the back, the eldest prince is lively and active, and he can't stay for a while, which is really cute and tight." β
If he saw that her beak was as dexterous as the bird that had just been released from the cage, he said, "Okay, you go and call Zipei over together, and say hello to the little master." β
Zijin replied, got up, and walked towards the back.
Ruyi helped He Xi sit down and said, "What does the queen mean?" β
He Xi said: "No matter what she means, these two people, you must be careful, Lin'er is now by my side, it is inevitable that some people will not like it, it turns out that in Concubine De, they dare not make a mistake, and finally came to me, I am afraid that I may think of a way to find something to do." β
Ruyi said: "Why don't we find a mistake and drive them out." β
He Xi shook his head and said: "That's it, some people, it's safer to put them under their noses than to let them hide in the dark, these two people-I keep them, maybe they are still useful." β
As she spoke, she smiled shallowly, she remembered the ambition on the woman's face, such a person, if used well, must be a double-edged sword.
Just as I was thinking about it, I could only hear the child's crisp laughter outside the door, and it was clear and pleasant: "Mother-"
It was Tuoba Lin, who happily took small steps and pounced towards He Xi, and the shadow in He Xi's heart was like a dark cloud torn by the scorching sun in an instant, dissipating without a trace.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat on Tuoba's forehead and said, "Why are you running so quickly, sit down and rest." β
Tuoba Lin shook his head, took out a bright lotus flower from behind him, held it in both hands and handed it to He Xi and said, "The beauty covers the present and the past, the lotus flower is shy and jade, this is for the mother." β
