Chapter Ninety-One: Sealing the Palace

Imperial Physician Xiao Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "In the end, Yuan Zhang sentenced me to go to Jingren Palace first, and he went to Kunning Palace to treat the county master before coming to Jingren Palace." When I go to Jingren Palace, the eldest lady's life is in danger, if I don't rescue him immediately, I'm afraid I will die today! But to administer needles to the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, it must be carried out by two doctors who are skilled in acupuncture. Therefore, Concubine Xian Niangniang sent someone to the queen to ask Zhang Yuan to judge, but she couldn't wait for a long time, so she had no choice but to break into the palace and invite Zhang Yuan's judgment! ”

After speaking, he kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, what Wei Chen said is true, you can call Zhang Yuan to confront him!" ”。

After hearing about Concubine Xian's entry into the palace with a long whip, Imperial Physician Xiao Zhou had admiration for this woman who resolutely refused to let her eyebrows go, so he hoped to do a little bit for this woman.

Emperor Tan saw that both sides had a reason for the incident, and it was excusable. In addition, Jing'an Hou only made concessions to the eldest princess, and what Yun Hui had done in the Imperial Garden before was indeed excessive, so he muttered: "That is the case, Concubine Xian ....."

Just as he was halfway through speaking, he saw a report from the queen's palace that the county lord of Yunhui was now fine, and now Zhang Yuanju was prescribing some prescriptions for the county lord to regulate and nourish.

Emperor Tan heard that Yunhui was unharmed, put his mind at ease, and muttered: "Now that the county lord of Yunhui and the eldest lady of the Marquis of Jing'an are safe and sound, Zitong, concubine Xian broke into the palace, how do you think it should be punished according to the palace rules?" ”

The queen, who was standing below without saying a word, saw Emperor Tan looking over, and said in a deep voice: "Breaking into the palace with a murder weapon and committing the following crimes is a serious crime, and according to the palace rules, you should be stripped of your title and entered the cold palace!" “

Emperor Tan was shocked, and the meaning of his question was to hope that the queen would open up and give a light punishment. I never thought that the queen would follow the palace rules to the letter.

This Jing'anhou has just handed over the military power, and the DPRK and China have not even prepared the handover documents, if the concubine is punished like this, I am afraid that Jing'anhou has other ideas.

This time, the Marquis of Jing'an offered to return the military power, and Emperor Tan was very satisfied. Jing'an Hou has always been cautious and loyal, and has always backed down on the matter of the eldest princess, keeping his mouth shut. Concubine Xian has always followed the rules in the palace, and even the second prince is very low-key.

Emperor Tan knew that the rabbit was in a hurry and bitten, and he had already given Jing'anhou a slap, if he didn't give a sweet date, but another slap, he wouldn't feel that Jing'anhou would feel that he was unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and making trouble in the handover of military power.

"Azusa Tong!" Emperor Tan paused for a moment and said slowly: "Concubine Xian has served me for many years and has contributed to the royal family. Breaking into the palace today is a matter of human life, and he behaves inappropriately in a moment's urgency. The law is nothing more than reasonable, extenuating circumstances, from now on, Concubine Jingren Palace will be closed for three months, and it will not be issued unless it is not! Concubine Xian, do you know what is wrong? “

"Concubine thank the emperor for his grace!" After Concubine Xian kowtowed and thanked her, she said: "The concubine offended the queen, and I ask the queen to forgive me!" “

Madame heard Emperor Tan's words, and felt a little relieved, although the sealing of the palace is also a very serious punishment, but it is already much lighter than what the queen just said about taking away the title and entering the cold palace. After all, what Concubine Xian did this time was too out of line.

The queen sneered, put the phoenix crown in her hand on the ground, leaned over and bowed to Emperor Tan three times, and said: "Concubine Xian committed a crime, causing the concubine to suffer a great shame, but Your Majesty opened the net and ignored the palace rules. That being the case, the concubines have voluntarily prayed for the Queen Mother since today, and since then the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha has survived! After that, the queen walked away.

The queen left suddenly, and everyone was stunned and in a dream. The palace people and eunuchs who served the queen were in a dilemma, and they wanted to chase the queen out, but Emperor Tan was still in the palace, and everyone didn't dare to make a mistake.

Emperor Tan shouted: "Don't hurry up and serve the queen!" After speaking, he was so angry that he threw the tea bowl in his hand to the ground. The empress was completely slapping Emperor Tan in the face, questioning his decision, and challenging his authority.

The tea bowl smashed to the ground and shattered into several pieces at once. Everyone knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is angry!" Several timid palace maids even secretly cried.

Emperor Tan looked at the kneeling people below and sighed, "Since this matter is over, you all get up." Mrs. Jing'anhou, if Ling Ai's body allows, leave the palace as soon as possible, and after you leave the palace, Jingren Palace will be sealed immediately! After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out angrily.

"The concubine (female) sends the emperor!" , Concubine Xian, Madame and Xiaoyu said respectfully behind Emperor Tan.

After Emperor Tan left, Concubine Xian stood up tiredly and said to Doctor Xiao Zhou in the corner: "Doctor Xiao Zhou, my niece may get out of bed and walk now?" “

Imperial Physician Xiao Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "The emperor and queen are like this, and Weichen can't take care of the eldest lady anymore, and I still hope that Concubine Xian and Mrs. are not strange." Wechen is going to check the pulse of the eldest lady! ”

Qi Pan fell asleep on the couch in the east room after the medicinal bath, and when Xiao Yu and the others followed Xiao Zhou into it, she hadn't woken up yet.

Imperial Physician Xiao Zhou looked at Qi Pan's face, and after checking the pulse of his hands, he groaned for a while and said, "At present, the eldest lady is out of danger, but she still can't be tired." It is unlikely that you will be able to get out of bed and walk today, and you will still need to recuperate when you go back. I'll prescribe a recipe to eat and try it first, and after eating three pairs, my wife can send someone to the Tai Hospital to pick up the officials and go to the house for a consultation."

After speaking, he turned to Xiao Yu and said, "During this period, the second lady still needs to convey more true qi to Sister Ling and dredge the meridians!" ”

Xiao Yu nodded, and waited for Imperial Doctor Xiao Zhou to prescribe a prescription to leave, Concubine Xian asked Jinxin to carry the soft pocket over, and the two powerful mothers-in-law carried Qi Pan to the soft pocket and lay down. Xiaoyu took a cloak and covered it with Qi Pan, and for fear that she would be cold, he also covered his own cloak.

"Sister-in-law, you should hurry back to the house, tell the Hou Ye, don't worry about me, it's actually good to seal the palace now, and it's clean!" , Concubine Xian showed a resolute look on her face, and in turn persuaded the worried lady.

"Mother! Mother! The second prince hurriedly walked in, and when he saw the lady and Xiaoyu, he just hurriedly arched his hand. Mother, what's going on, why is the palace going to be sealed? The second prince was studying in the country in the afternoon, and he hurried over as soon as he got the news.

"Di'er, it's okay, my mother acted impulsively today and violated the palace rules, and your father should punish me. It's just that the emperor is going to suffer you this time. My mother is not around, you have to take good care of yourself, don't be cold and hungry! ”

Concubine Xian has not shed a single tear since she received the punishment, but now in front of the second prince, the hundred steels turned into fingers in an instant. Tears rolled down his face, dripping on the sleeves of the second prince like pearls with broken threads.

"Mother, the son-in-law is going to ask his father to take back his fate!" The second prince wiped his face fiercely and rushed out.

"Diel! Stop! Concubine Xian shouted. If you want to kill me, go to your father now!" Guo Di hesitated, but still restrained his hurried steps.

"Diel! Why are you still so impulsive! How can you reassure you as a mother! Concubine Xian hugged the second prince and cried.

Today, the mother swept the queen's face hard, which made her lose face. If your father does not punish me, everyone will follow the same example in the future, how can they serve the people? The rules are set to be followed, your father has already fallen lightly, if you go to intercede again, won't it make the queen even more unhappy? What's more, if the queen doesn't let out her grievances this time, the grievances will accumulate more and more in the future, and they will still break out after all! Concubine Xian persuaded Guo Di earnestly.

The second prince listened to Concubine Xian's advice with tears on his face. "Di'er, you will follow your aunt out of the palace later. During the period of mother's confinement, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't cause trouble, do you know? Don't show resentment in front of your father, study hard and practice martial arts. Discuss things with your uncle! Di'er, you have to know that as long as you are well, your mother will be safe and sound. If something happens to you, my mother's death is not far away! The second prince seemed to have matured a lot in an instant, he wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "Mother, the child knows!" Don't worry, the child will study hard and wait for you to come out! ”

Concubine Xian looked at her son with tears of relief, and resolutely said, "Sister-in-law, Di'er, let's go!" The guards are waiting outside! ”

Xiao Yu glanced at the outside of the palace, and sure enough, the imperial guards had already arrived, just waiting for the ladies to leave the palace gate.

Madame held Concubine Xian's hand and said, "Niangniang, take care of yourself, this time it is all for Pan'er to make you ...... like this", after speaking, she actually bowed to Concubine Xian a few times.

Concubine Xian said with tears: "Sister-in-law, they are all their own flesh and blood, how can you be so polite, Di'er still has to rely on your aunt to take care of it." Take care of yourselves, too! Xiaoyu, you are a good child, you have to take good care of your mother and sister in the future! ”

Xiao Yu was in awe of the resolute and resolute woman in front of her, she nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, the courtiers will go all out!" ”

Several people said goodbye to Concubine Xian in tears, and stood outside the palace and watched as the guards closed the gate of Jingren Palace and pasted a seal, leaving only a small hole where food could be delivered.

The second prince kowtowed heavily to the palace gate, then got up and wiped away his tears. "Auntie, let's go!"

A few little eunuchs who followed the guards lifted their soft pockets, and everyone walked towards the palace gate together.

When I came, I was still laughing, but when I left, I was so heavy. Xiao Yu walked next to the soft pocket, Qi Pan was still asleep, Xiao Zhou Taiyi said that there was a sleeping medicine in the medicinal bath, so it was normal to sleep, so that the body gradually recovered in sleep. According to Doctor Xiao Zhou's prediction, Qi Pan should wake up in the evening.

When he was about to arrive at the palace gate, Xiao Yu saw Murong Hua. He was wearing a green shirt today, with an ebony hairpin stuck obliquely on his head, waiting outside the palace gate.

Seeing Xiao Yu and his party, his eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, when he saw the second prince with red eyes and a sad expression.
