Chapter 532: Deliberate Delay
"The concubine Niangniang said with a smile, there is a peerless beauty like you in the harem, how can the emperor take a second look at me?"
Shen Youqiu replied.
"Men naturally like a hundred flowers to bloom."
"Niangniang, the minister is already optimistic."
Shen Yueqiu withdrew her hand and said skillfully: "There is nothing wrong with Niangniang's body, but she thinks too much on weekdays, which will lead to some headaches, I will prescribe you a prescription to relieve your mood, you just take it on time."
After writing the prescription, Shen Youqiu packed up the medicine box and prepared to rush to Concubine Yuan's side.
Who knew that Concubine Xiao suddenly said, "I heard that Imperial Physician Shen's acupuncture and moxibustion skills are superb, and they can work in an instant, why don't you also acupuncture for the palace?"
Shen Youqiu paused, and couldn't help but be a little speechless in his heart.
Obviously there is nothing wrong, but I still have to find trouble.
She turned her head and smiled, "The concubine is in good health, but she doesn't really need acupuncture."
"The concubine is fine, but can't this palace? Why, Imperial Physician Shen, do you look down on this palace?"
"Concubine Yuan Niangniang did acupuncture because her body is really weak, she has a weak constitution, she is prone to diseases and evil spirits, and there are still unresolved lesions in her body."
Shen Yueqiu shook her head a little puzzled while explaining, "Concubine Yuan, she is clearly noble, she has been raised well in the harem, and I don't know why there are so many dark diseases on her body."
Hearing this, Concubine Xiao Guifei's eyes blinked and sneered, "This palace sees that he is a little unblessed to receive the grace of Emperor Hao."
As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows again, "What you said is so serious, can acupuncture alone cure these diseases?" It can't be fooling the emperor and the concubine, right? But you know that the great crime of bullying the king is to cut off your head, and when the time comes, it will affect your husband!"
"The minister has already made it clear that he can only try his best to recuperate, and there is no guarantee of a complete cure."
"And how long will it take you to get better?"
Shen Youqiu hesitated for a moment and replied, "It will take three or five months to say anything, and Concubine Yuan's foundation is already poor, so it is possible that this time will be even longer."
Hearing this, Xiao Guifei's eyes flashed with a look of satisfaction, he still didn't plan to let Shen Yueqiu go, he only said: "You can just do acupuncture for the palace, I heard that acupuncture can relieve fatigue and is more comfortable than massage, and the palace has always wanted to try it."
She said so, and Shen Yueqiu had no way to refuse, so she had to take out a silver needle for her acupuncture.
After a while, Xiao Guifei fell asleep comfortably.
Now there was finally no one to stop her, and someone from Concubine Yuan's side came to urge, so the palace maid let her go.
When she left, several palace maids couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.
You know, Xiao Guifei's sleep on weekdays is not good, and she will wake up easily, but she didn't expect to fall asleep like this after being pricked a few times?
On the other side, Shen Youqiu walked expressionlessly, but he was a little helpless in his heart.
Just now I pierced Xiao Guifei with acupuncture points that made people sleep, and she would be very sleepy during this time.
She wasn't to blame.
This whole palace is not a good thing, if it wasn't for the emperor's people coming to urge him just now, those palace maids still want to keep him trapped in the palace and not let her leave.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I finally arrived at the concubine's bedroom.
Not surprisingly, the emperor was staying with Concubine Yuan.
After seeing the ceremony, Shen Yueqiu still stepped forward to check Concubine Yuan's pulse.
Then he started acupuncture for her.
Looking at the needles on the back of Concubine Yuan, like a hedgehog, but with a very comfortable expression on her face, the emperor couldn't help but marvel.
"Imperial Physician Shen's medical skills are really powerful, I want to try it!"
Hearing this, Concubine Yuan hurriedly opened her eyes and smiled: "The emperor will try it, Imperial Doctor Shen is really powerful, I think the emperor should be able to relieve your headache after doing acupuncture, not only can relieve the headache, but also relieve your fatigue after watching the twists and turns."
Shen Youqiu also said, "It can indeed relieve fatigue, the emperor is waiting for Concubine Yuan's mother, this is over, I will do it again."
Let's do acupuncture for you."
The Emperor laughed, "In that case, then I'll try it too!"
So, after Concubine Yuan finished acupuncture, the emperor also lay down, and soon his back was full of thorns and turned into a hedgehog.
But he closed his eyes and looked very happy.
The little palace maid guarding the door of the store secretly watched this scene, and she was very angry.
What kind of imperial doctor is this, he really has bad intentions, he just wants to get close to the emperor.
After doing an acupuncture, Shen Youqiu was already tired.
The toxins in the emperor's body are too ruthless. He had to pay full attention and be careful every step of the way, so it was extremely painstaking to give him acupuncture.
It wasn't until noon that lunch began to be passed on, and Shen Yueqiu stopped moving, and the emperor was already asleep, with a calm expression, with a faint smile, and even a slight snoring.
Concubine Yuan looked at this scene with some surprise.
"Imperial Doctor Shen is really a master!"
She exclaimed, and finally bowed to Shen Yueqiu Yingying, showing gratitude, "The emperor has never slept well, this palace has never seen him sleep so comfortably and peacefully, Imperial Doctor, you are really bothered, in the future, you will definitely come over once a day, not for me, but for the emperor."
"With you, the emperor's body will definitely get better slowly, and one day the emperor's head disease will be completely cured, and you will be the benefactor of the world!"
As she spoke, she suddenly pulled out a golden hairpin decorated with pearls from her head and stuffed it to Shen Youqiu.
"You take this hairpin, but it's my thank you gift."
"It's my duty to see a doctor, and I can't take this hairpin!" Shen Youqiu immediately wanted to return the hairpin, but saw Concubine Yuan's red eyes, "It's been so long, there has never been a imperial doctor who can make the emperor so safe, the emperor doesn't sleep well every day, causing his head disease to become more and more serious, and he is very tired, I see him getting older and weaker every day, and his heart is full of pain, but he is helpless, but today Imperial Doctor Shen, you have made me see hope, such a small golden hairpin, what is it compared to the happiness in my heart?"
"Hurry up!"
Seeing this, Shen Yueqiu had no choice but to accept the hairpin.
It happened to be lunch time again, so Concubine Yuan asked her to stay and eat with him, Shen Youqiu wanted to refuse but couldn't, so she had to eat with her, and then remove the silver needle from the emperor's body.
But while eating, Shen Yueqiu found that something was not quite right.
"This meal was delivered from the Imperial Dining Room? Or did you make it in your own kitchen?"
"The food in our palace has always been made in the kitchen, how can it not match the appetite of Imperial Doctor Shen?"
The little palace maid on the side said sarcastically.
Shen Yueqiu smiled and lowered her eyes, "It's just that I haven't eaten in the palace, so I'm a little curious, which makes Niang Niang smile."
