I didn't want Bao Yuan to be so allergic to knotweed leaves, so he coughed all night, and when he got up the next morning, he saw that his eyes were dark and blue, and his lips were slightly white when he was ruddy. persuaded him to quit the early court, but he said that he had something important to discuss with the courtiers today, and insisted on going to the court.

I was uneasy, so I sent Ming'er to ask Ling Xuan if there was any medicine to cure this knotweed leaf allergy, and I couldn't eat breakfast, so I took Zhiqiu to Qinghe Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace.

Along the way, I prayed silently in my heart, hoping that Bao Yuan would get better soon after taking Imperial Doctor Ling's medicine, and I only hoped that the Queen Mother would not know that Bao Yuan was sick, and the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother knew, it would inevitably cause a storm again...... Alas......

I was worried, but I didn't realize that I had reached the east side of the palace where the queen mother lived daily, and the palace maid saw me open the curtain and reported: "Mrs. Hua Rui has arrived!" ”

Entering, seeing that Jingyi and Su Jinyan were already there, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute the Queen Mother, and met the two of them again, before they sat down, only to hear the Queen Mother say: "Concubine Xu, the mourning family had a slight cough when they saw the emperor coming to greet him yesterday, thinking that the summer heat was getting heavier, and the dragon body was out of condition, so you should be more attentive to serve the emperor recently." ”

"The concubine obeys the instructions of the Queen Mother." I replied respectfully: "Yesterday, Imperial Physician Ling has already come to see it, and he has also prescribed a prescription to reduce the fire and remove the wetness, and the concubine will personally serve the emperor to drink." ”

"That's good, the emperor's dragon body is related to the lives of the people in the world, and there must be no mistakes." The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said.

"The queen mother also has to take care of the phoenix body, the concubine got up early and ordered the small kitchen to cook some warm and moisturizing sweet soup, can the queen mother eat some?" Jingyi has always been virtuous, and at this time she served a soup and sent it to the Queen Mother.

"Jingyi has always been careful." The Queen Mother took it, took a sip and said with a smile: "This soup tastes sweet, and it's good to drink some on a hot day." Can you send it to the emperor to try? ”

"Not yet, the concubine wants to wait for the emperor to disperse and then send it to Chongguang Palace."

"Well, that's what it's like to be a concubine." The Queen Mother nodded, and then said: "Su Jin, what time is this, why are Li Xiuyuan and Liu Anchen still coming to ask for peace?" ”

Zhou Shanggong was about to reply, but he only listened to the report of the palace maid outside the curtain: "Xiuyuan Li Yanniang asks the Queen Mother for peace." In response, Li Yanniang walked in with the help of her personal palace maid Hongyu.

She has changed her gorgeous and flamboyant posture in the past, her face is light in powder, and her clothes are relatively simple. Seeing this, the Queen Mother glanced at Li Yanniang, who was kneeling in front of her, put down the cup in her hand, and asked, "Li Xiuyuan, what's wrong?" Get up and talk back. ”

Li Yanniang stood up slowly, with a delicate attitude, and said: "Thank you for the care of the Empress Dowager, the concubine is fine, but yesterday Liu Anchen was overly frightened, and the nightmare at night shouted and screamed and tossed for a night, and the concubine was friendly with her every day, so she took care of her personally, and did not rest well, so please An Laichi has a poor demeanor, and also ask the Queen Mother to condemn." He coughed a few times as he spoke.

"Why is Pingbai frightened?" The Queen Mother looked at Jingyi with doubts in her eyes.

"The concubine doesn't know very well, but I heard that Liu Anchen was a little frightened in Yuandong yesterday, and after returning to Yingxian Palace, he was sick in bed, and Li Xiuyuan was taking care of him at night." Jingyi glanced at me and said slowly.

"Does the emperor know?"

"The emperor sent a doctor to see him yesterday, saying that he was just frightened and that it was not a big deal." Jingyi deliberately picked up the irrelevant reply, and I knew that she was intentionally helping.

"I'm asking you, how was this Liu Anchen frightened?" The Queen Mother is obviously not so easy to fool.

"This ......" Jingyi was about to reply, but she didn't want Li Yanniang to snatch the conversation and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Sister Zhaorong really doesn't know how Sister Lan was frightened. He glanced at me as he spoke, and deliberately pressed the conversation.

"Oh? Then you tell the mourners. ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, yesterday the concubine and Sister Lan went to send lotus seed soup to the emperor in accordance with the Queen Mother's decree, but they didn't want the emperor to take Mrs. Hua Rui to Yuandong to try the horse, because I thought that if the things assigned by the Queen Mother were not done well, I would lose the concubine's duty, and I took into account that the soup was cold and the emperor ate it damaged the dragon's body......" Li Yanniang said very thoughtfully, and the heart of the fist was touching, the Queen Mother nodded again and again, and said: "So, you and Liu Anchen went to the Yuandong Horse Farm, were you scared by the emperor's horseback?" ”

"It's not that the emperor scared Sister Lan, but ......" Li Yanniang deliberately stopped, but her eyes looked straight at me.

"Oh, could it be that Concubine Xu scared Liu Anchen?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Exactly." Li Yanniang said with a honey-bellied sword, "Queen Mother, you don't know, how fast Mrs. Hua Rui's horse rides, like a gust of wind, if it weren't for Sister Lan's great fortune, I'm afraid that she would die under Mrs......s hooves" said and patted her chest, so she said with a look of horror and said: "Sister Lan was so frightened that she was paralyzed to the ground, and the four palace maids couldn't help her, but the emperor ......"

"How is the emperor?"

"The emperor only cared about Mrs. Hua Rui, didn't even look at Sister Lan, and rode away with Mrs. Hua Rui in her arms, poor Sister Lan ......" This Li Yanniang held a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears, and the look of grief was really pitiful for me.

"Concubine Xu, is there such a thing?" The Queen Mother asked me with a cold face.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Liu Anchen suddenly rushed out, so that he frightened the concubine's horses, and the concubine did not intend to frighten An Chen." Now that it has come to this, I have to tell the story of that day.

"Oh, I see." The Queen Mother looked at me calmly and said: "Although this matter is not intentional by Concubine Xu, it is just that it is inappropriate for this deep palace to gallop on horseback, not to mention that it frightened the concubine, if an unstable Concubine Xu falls off the horse, or is injured or has an accident, then the emperor should not be more worried." The most peaceful in the harem, since then, Concubine Xu can no longer ride horses in the palace at will, can you understand? The Queen Mother's voice is not high, but the weight of her words is not small.

"Yes, the concubine understands." I agreed, but my heart was very angry, a good Li Yanniang pretended to go to the queen mother to sue me for blackness, then Liu Huilan was scared to death, I was scared but I didn't see me screaming nightmares......
