Qingya passed the queen's greetings, and she was about to retreat and rush back to Hanyuan Hall to continue to take care of the queen, and the queen mother gave her a few more words and sent her away. When leaving, I saw the princess standing on the side, Qingya saluted respectfully, Qiu Jingrou was polite, and walked a few steps with him: "I'll send Mama." ”

Qingya smiled: "The slave doesn't dare to be a slave, now the things in the Longevity Palace are all done by the mother, and the queen often mentions it, saying that thanks to you, she can raise the fetus with peace of mind." ”

Qiu Jingrou said: "It's a pity that I'm young and stupid, not as good as the queen's mother, and not as smart as the royal sister, and I can't let the queen mother get her luck in many things, I'm ashamed." ”

"Niangniang, you are modest, now inside and outside the palace, who does not praise you for your virtue and ability." Qingya complimented, walked outside the gate of the Longevity Palace, repeatedly asked the princess to stay, and hurriedly left.

Qiu Jingrou watched Qingya leave, but a palace maid stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother ordered the imperial doctor to prescribe tonic medicine for you and His Royal Highness, please go in and listen to it." ”

"Tonics?" Qiu Jingrou was confused, and when she entered the door and listened, she was even more blushing, the Queen Mother was really worried about their children, and the old people had a headache and brain fever, and they began to worry that their lives would come to an abrupt end, afraid that they couldn't wait to hug their great-grandson, and they were afraid of leaving regrets.

"Feng'er is most afraid of these things, you coax him to drink them." The Queen Mother held her daughter-in-law's hand and said with a smile, "Your Qiu family has always been a prosperous heir, you will know it when you look at the queen, I know that you will soon spread the branches for Feng'er." ”

In order to make the old queen mother happy, the young princess could only meekly agree, but between her words, she heard the imperial doctor say to the person who was in charge of boiling the medicine below: "The queen mother's tranquilizer is clear and handsome, and the tonic of His Royal Highness and the princess is hot, you must not be confused." ”

Qiu Jingrou frowned slightly, got up and said: "Imperial grandmother, Your Highness, he doesn't like the smell of medicine, and the smell of boiling in Anle Palace can't be dissipated for a long time, he must be upset." Can you boil the medicine for you every day, and we also boiled our tonic in the Longevity Palace, and if I send it to him, he will have no reason not to eat it. ”

The Queen Mother agreed repeatedly: "This little thing, you can just look at it." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was late February, and the queen was under the careful care of the imperial doctor and the emperor, and her children were beside her to relieve boredom and have fun.

Moreover, the Great Qi Dynasty has reached twenty-one years, although it is more stable and prosperous than the early years, but the inevitable shortcomings in the court officialdom of all dynasties have gradually been revealed, and it is imperative to want the country to have long-term peace and stability, and to want the court and the royal family to be passed down from generation to generation. However, the party factions are entangled among the officials, and the forces of various factions have also matured in the past 20 years, which affects the whole body and makes the emperor's life difficult.

There was a big event in the previous dynasty, the harem was concerned about Mi'er, in just a few months, the emperor seemed to be a few years older, Min'er looked at it in his eyes and was sad in his heart, only hoping that the fetus in his womb would be safe, and he was looking forward to his own safety, so that he could show his face.

At this time, the Queen Mother fell ill, and the people who were originally living in peace and happiness could not blow the wind or rain, and there were people who were worried about the hot and cold moments, and they could not be sick several times a year, so as to have this good blessing of longevity. Recently, I don't know if I'm really old, I always have a headache and brain fever, and I can't hide it in the longevity palace these days, and it is said that the queen mother can't sleep well every night, and she is in a hurry, and even has mouth sores.

The emperor came to visit in a hurry, and the anger on the corner of his mother's mouth did not match her old countenance.

The mother and son were talking to each other, Qiu Jingrou took the palace maid to serve tea, only to see that the imperial doctor also followed, the emperor asked angrily, the imperial doctor trembled and defended, and caught a glimpse of the princess on the side, and suddenly remembered that the queen mother and the prince's medicine were tormented together, and hurriedly said: "Can the emperor allow the minister to check the queen mother's medicine residue, but I am afraid that the princess and concubine have made the wrong medicine." ”

Qiu Jingrou looked flustered: "Imperial Doctor, I'm very careful." She hurriedly knelt down to the queen mother and the emperor and said: "The emperor's grandmother, father, and emperor's concubines, the imperial grandmother's medicine ministers and concubines dare not be careless, the imperial doctor said this, if he doesn't find out, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness will also blame the concubines." ”

Xiang Ye waved his hand and said, "You get up, let him go and have a look." "The emperor and his daughter-in-law hardly spoke, only knew that everyone in the palace said that she was good, because she was the person chosen by Concubine Shugui, he didn't like it in his heart, so naturally he didn't care, but he sent people to watch her brother all the time. Now I took a closer look at my daughter-in-law, Qiu Jing is beautiful and demure, and her temperament is not bad, she really has a bit of the character of the same clan as the queen, Xiang Ye smiled in her heart, what the same clan, Min'er never said that she had any nephews and nieces.

At this time, the imperial physician had already taken the medicine residue of the queen mother and the prince and princess to check, and several people stood in front of the door to carefully select, tossing a cup of tea, but to no avail, the imperial doctors were panicked and sweating, and could only say that they carefully prescribed a prescription for the queen mother to regulate the body.

The queen mother said that the palace is waiting for the queen to give birth, please don't have to make a big move, because she is old and her body is not as good as before, and the doctors treat diseases and save people by fate. Mother said this, the emperor naturally would not pursue it anymore, and also comforted his daughter-in-law a few words, since the queen mother was relieved to continue to hand over to Qiu Jingrou, he didn't say anything.

Sending the emperor away, Qiu Jingrou asked the palace people on the side: "Does the queen know there, in case the queen wants to come and see in person, I am so prepared." ”

The palace man replied: "It must be the emperor who stopped it, but if the queen mother is still like this in two or three days, the mother will definitely come in person." In the past, the queen mother's phoenix body was disobedient, and the mother served day and night in the Longevity Palace. ”

Qiu Jingrou nodded, then wait a little longer.

It's just that after two days, the queen mother's health has not improved, and the queen has not come to visit her mother-in-law, Qiu Jingrou is impatient to wait, and she can't help but be a little anxious.

In the Hanyuan Palace, Min'er had just taken the decoction that inhibited thirst, stroked her stomach and talked to the little doll, hoping that he would not be affected by the medicine, and she didn't know how much this bowl of medicine would have an impact on herself and the child. But if you don't take medicine now, you and your child may not be able to keep it, and the lesser of the two evils is Min'er, so Min'er can only obey the arrangement of Imperial Doctor Chen.

At this time, Imperial Physician Chen came in and put down a small and delicate soup cup on the table, and Min'er looked at it lightly: "How is it?" ”

Imperial Physician Chen said: "The minister has also checked the medicine residue, and it is true, if the Queen Mother took that medicine, it should have calmed her nerves, but ......" Imperial Doctor Chen opened the lid, and there was a shallow layer of black soup inside, and he said, "As you expected, someone boiled the two medicines and mixed them together for the Queen Mother to take." In this way, the medicine has entered the stomach of the Queen Mother, and there is no evidence left, and there is nothing wrong with the medicine residue, but the taste of the decoction is subtly different. ”

Min'er sat down with Qingya's hand, obviously because she was angry, and said coldly: "Is it the princess?" ”

Imperial Physician Chen shook his head: "The minister has no way of knowing, and I ask the mother to investigate carefully." ”

Min'er sighed: "In the entire imperial city, the Queen Mother is her only support, if she tosses the Queen Mother and returns to the West, how do you plan to live in the future?" Could it be that he just didn't want to serve the Queen Mother, so he acted so viciously? ”

Imperial Physician Chen didn't know about the entanglement here, and then he was ordered to re-prescribe medicine for the Queen Mother to regulate her body, and he did it himself, and he was not allowed to fake others.

Min'er invited Mama Wang to come and asked a lot about things in the Longevity Palace, but Mama Wang was afraid that the queen would blame her for not taking good care of her, so she said a lot more about what she shouldn't say, and even inadvertently mentioned that the princess had twice asked the palace people whether the queen would go to the Longevity Palace to visit the Queen Mother in person.

Mama Wang didn't mean to say this, but Min'er listened to it in her heart, and only after she left did she say to Qingya: "Is she thinking about me?" ”

Qingya frowned, and there was a chill in her heart: "Do you want to get close to you, after all, she can't even enter the door of this Hanyuan Palace." Since it is the person trained by Concubine Shugui, we can't help but guard against it. ”

Min'er shook her head: "If everything is as you and I guessed, she is much more ruthless than her mother-in-law." ”

Qingya asked, "Niangniang, what should we do?" ”

Min'er said coldly: "Spread the word that the imperial doctor suspected that the queen mother and the prince's medicine were confused, and then wait and see, don't forget that she has an elder brother outside the palace." At the moment, I don't have the energy to entangle with her, and when I give birth to the child, I can do what I want, not only them, but also that person, I can't let her anymore. ”

In this way, the queen mother's body was carefully conditioned, and she finally improved, but such words spread out, saying that the princess was careless and almost killed the queen mother, and Xiang Feng was not good-looking. But when he got home, he saw Chu Chu's poor wife, and the imperial doctor had proven that it was not his wife's fault, and he couldn't help but soften, and met Qiu Jingxuan the next day, saying that he wanted to enter the palace to greet his sister, and he readily agreed.

On this day, the sky was clear, warm and windless, and the climate gradually had the warmth of spring, Xiang Yuan went to the Longevity Palace to visit his grandmother instead of his mother, and Qiu Jingrou sent her out all the way, and met the palace maid of Anle Palace to report, saying that Lord Qiu asked to see the princess, and the person was already outside the inner palace.

Qiu Jingrou immediately glanced at her sister-in-law, and when she saw the light shining in her eyes, she said lightly: "I know, please ask my brother to Anle Palace, I will go back to the Queen Mother, and I will pass it later." ”

The two sisters-in-law separated, Xiang Yuan knew that Qiu Jingxuan was coming, and the road under his feet involuntarily walked towards the road leading to Anle Palace, wandering halfway for a long time, and really saw the palace people leading Qiu Jingxuan to come, and the people over there were also stunned when they saw themselves.

With the tacit approval of his father and mother, he didn't have to care about Qiu Jingxuan's background, Xiang Yuan was no longer as squirming as before, and at this moment, he ran forward generously, smiling like a flower, with a bright and brilliant temperament, and said: "Are you here?" ”

Qiu Jingxuan was full of gloomy thoughts, but when he suddenly saw Xiang Yuan, it seemed that the sunshine in the world was gathered on her alone, and even his dark and cold heart was infected. Hurriedly bowed and said, "Weichen see the princess." ”
