Chapter 2: The Pretty Concubine Fights the Eunuch and Escapes into the Deep Valley (17)
Concubine De held the prescription she had prescribed for the queen in her hand, and while she looked at it carefully, she thought: " Before, in the process of treating the queen, the concubine has not dared to prescribe too strong prescriptions to the queen, and this time the stimulant medicine given by the person who wanted to harm the queen was invisibly combined with the medicine prescribed by the concubine into a wonderful prescription, which became a fierce medicine to cure the queen's illness, so that the queen's condition quickly improved, this is very interesting to think about, the person who wants to harm the queen quietly gave stimulants, making the queen's condition worse, which was originally intended to harm the queen, but these people never thought that they would become the concubine's instead. Right-hand man', inadvertently cooperated with the concubine to cure the queen's illness, the queen can really be described as 'auspicious people have their own natural appearance', and the concubine's luck is also very good!"
The queen was in a good mood, she could get out of bed and walk again, she looked at the sunlight outside the window, and felt that the sun was brighter than ever before, and she looked at the scenery outside the window, the trees grew very green, and she was in a very comfortable mood.
The queen pushed Cuilian away and didn't let Cuilian hold her anymore, she walked into Concubine De and said to Concubine De: " Good sister, my sister would like to express my sincere gratitude to you, it was you who pulled my sister back from the line of death, so that my sister could see the bright sunlight outside the window again, your medical skills are indeed better than those in the hospital, at that time, the people in the hospital were helpless against the disease of the palace, and the palace thought that his life should be extinguished, so he waited for the king of Yama to summon the palace, and I didn't expect that my sister could cure the disease of the palace, so that my sister could still live in the world and experience the beautiful life in the world, and my sister would not forget my sister's life-saving grace. ”
"Please don't say that, my sister won't be able to bear it. Treating the queen's mother, this is the sister's responsibility, how can you mention any kindness, the queen's condition can improve quickly, all because of the queen's original luck, it is auspicious, my sister is happy for your body! However, my sister thinks that although the queen's condition has improved quickly, her body is still very weak. Be sure to continue taking the medication. Recuperate well to make your body fully well-being, don't be careless, if you're too tired. The recovery of the body will be very slow. Concubine De said.
"Concubine De. You can rest assured. The slave will definitely take care of the queen mother, and will not let her be too tired, your magic prescription has made the queen mother's noble body much healthier than before. She's going to be healthy!" said the palace maid Cuilian.
Wu Degui did not report the news of the queen's improvement to the queen mother according to the instructions of Concubine De's mother, but the queen mother had her own eyeliner, and she soon learned the news of the queen's rapid improvement, after learning the news, the queen mother was in a good mood at first, she was happy for the improvement of the queen's condition, she knew that this time the queen was likely to really be able to recover her health; at the same time, the queen mother felt that after curing the queen's illness, Concubine De's prestige in the harem would increase rapidly, and the emperor might prefer Concubine De, and Concubine De had a life-saving grace for the queen, she would not restrain Concubine De, and if this continued, Concubine De would become more and more arrogant in the harem, in the future, Concubine De will definitely be lawless in the harem.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother was very worried, she thought that Concubine De might turn into a scourge woman who threatened the safety of the harem, and her power in the harem was likely to be taken away by this terrible woman one day in the near future.
The Queen Mother felt that she could no longer let it go, and that she had to act immediately, she thought: " Although Concubine De saved the queen's life and was kind to the royal family, but, kindness is kindness, no matter how great the favor is, it can't break the rules, the rules for maintaining the safety of the royal family must be implemented, now, Concubine De's existence in the harem has threatened the safety of the harem, which is not allowed by the mourning family, if you let Concubine De toss in the harem again, it won't be long before the emperor may be bewitched by her, and continue to develop, the mourning family in the harem doesn't even have the point to speak, how can the mourning family care about this!"
The queen mother was anxiously thinking, there was a palace maid to play the report, the master of ceremonies and the eunuch Zhang Lianying asked to see, and the queen mother said to the eunuch that Zhang Lianying was summoned to see her.
Zhang Lianying came in, and after he knelt down, he started to play: " The Empress Dowager is on top, the slave has something important to report, before the slave was ordered by the Empress Dowager Niang Yi, to re-investigate the case of He Junren's poisoning and death in prison, the slave has done some investigations, found some clues, in order to find out the facts of the case, the slave asked Shen Gonggong, who is in charge of the prison, to help investigate the case, he is very capable, is working hard to handle the case, the slave thinks, it is better to play to the Queen Mother, please allow Shen Gonggong to be responsible for handling this case, the slave will try his best to urge him to handle the case well, please allow the Queen Mother to permission!"
The Empress Dowager thought: "Zhang Lianying often has trouble with Shen Deyi, why does he want to speak for Shen Deyi today? Also, it was Zhang Lianying who wanted to re-investigate the case of Taiyi He, so why did he hand over this case to Shen Deyi now? The mourning family couldn't figure it out, the situation was really getting more and more confused at this time, what kind of reputation was Zhang Lianying doing?"
The Empress Dowager suddenly remembered what Concubine Xian had said to her before, Concubine Xian repeatedly persuaded her not to listen to Zhang Lianying's words, the Empress Dowager thought of this, she suddenly had questions, and in her heart: "Could it be that Concubine Xian knows something about Zhang Lianying, and she advises the mourners not to trust Zhang Lianying, is this a hint?" However, in the case of Imperial Physician He, the mourning family still wanted to accept Zhang Lianying's construction, and it was precisely because Zhang Lianying was not credible that the mourning family wanted to accept his construction, and moved the case out of Zhang Lianying's hands and handed it over to Shen Deyi to handle, after all, Shen Deyi was still relatively obedient, no matter whether Zhang Lianying's proposal to let Shen Deyi be in charge of handling the case was true or false, and no matter what his purpose was in proposing this construction, let Zhang Lianying handle the case first, and put him aside first, so that he could see what he was doing. ”
The Empress Dowager looked at Zhang Lianying and said slowly: "Why did Gonggong Zhang suddenly care about Shen Deyi, haven't you always had an opinion about him?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, the slave does have a disagreement with Shen Gonggong, but the slave has to admit that Shen Gonggong is a very capable person, in order to better handle the case ordered by the Queen Mother, the slave feels that it is most appropriate to let Shen Gonggong handle the case of Imperial Doctor He, please ask the Queen Mother for permission!" Zhang Lianying requested.
"Father-in-law Zhang cherishes talents and is conscientious, since you have recognized it. The mourning family accepted your construction and allowed you to hand over the case to Gonggong Shen to handle, you free up your hands and do more things for the emperor, and the mourning family knows that you are loyal and will remember it in their hearts. The Queen Mother said.
"Thank you, the queen mother, the old slave has taken her leave!" Zhang Lianying said goodbye to the queen mother and left the queen's bedroom.
After Zhang Lianying left, the Empress Dowager sent someone to summon Shen Deyi to enter the palace, and she wanted to know what Shen Deyi thought about the investigation of Imperial Doctor He's case.
"The servant greets the Queen Mother. I wish the Queen Mother good health and well!" Shen Deyi saw the Queen Mother. Hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
"Get up, I heard you've been busy lately, so you don't have to kneel, get up and talk. Listen to what Grandpa Zhang said. You want to take over the case of Dr. Ho. Is this true?" asked the Queen Mother.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the slave discussed it with Gonggong Zhang, and the slave will handle the case. Ask Gonggong Zhang to supervise, the servants discussed it at that time, and Gonggong Zhang reported the matter to the Queen Mother. Shen Deyi replied.
"Father-in-law Shen, the mourning family asked you, did Father-in-law Zhang ask you to take over the case, or did you ask him to take over the case yourself?" asked the Queen Mother.
Father-in-law Zhang said that he was very busy, it was very troublesome to handle the case, and he needed the help of the slave, so the slave took the initiative to help Father-in-law Zhang handle the case, and later, Father-in-law Zhang handed over the whole case to the slave. Shen Deyi replied.
"Gonggong Zhang's construction is up to you to take over this case, he said that this is something you are willing to do, the mourning family has approved his construction, you can go back to him and take over the case, are you sure that this case will be handled well?" asked the Queen Mother.
"Please rest assured that although the poisoning of Imperial Physician He in prison is a bit complicated, Imperial Physician He is the father of Concubine De, and Imperial Physician He's death is related to his treatment of the queen's mother, so it is a little difficult to find out, but the slave must adhere to the rules of handling the case, based on the facts, and must find out the results, and will definitely not disappoint the queen mother's trust. Shen Deyi said.
"The mourning family believes that you can handle the case well, when you go to investigate the case, you don't have to worry about whose father the person in the case is, of course, you can't affect He Zhihan to treat the queen because of the case, the mourning family only cares about the queen's illness must be cured as much as possible, and the rest doesn't matter, you go and do it, you must find out the results within five days, you can't toss it for too long, otherwise, it will be transmitted to the queen's bedroom, it will affect the queen's mood, understand?"
"In accordance with the Empress Dowager's decree, the servants promise not to let the handling of the case affect the treatment of the Empress, and guarantee that the results of the case will be found within five days!" Shen Deyi said.
"Go and handle the case, don't let the mourning family bother, you must get the case done!" said the Queen Mother.
Wu Degui learned that the empress dowager already knew that the queen's condition had improved greatly, and he didn't dare to hide the facts, he was afraid that the emperor would know and ask him to be held accountable, so he hurriedly entered the palace and told the emperor the true situation of the empress's physical recovery.
The emperor was very happy to know about the queen's physical recovery, and he suddenly wanted to see the queen, so he ordered to move to the queen's bedroom.
Concubine De and the queen saw that the emperor suddenly came to the palace, they hurriedly greeted him, and the emperor saw that the queen, who had been bedridden for a long time, could kneel down to greet him this time, he was very happy, he stretched out his hand to help the queen, and persuaded the queen to lie on the bed and rest.
Cuilian saw the emperor coming, she was very happy, for a long time, the queen has been sick in bed, at first the emperor came up once, but the queen didn't even have the strength to speak, the emperor looked at the queen and left, this time, the emperor suddenly came to visit the queen, and the queen was already able to kneel down to greet the driver, Cuilian was so happy to cry.
The emperor already knew Cuilian, and when he saw Cuilian crying, he asked with concern: "Why is Xiaolianzi crying? ”
Cuilian saw that the emperor cared about her, she hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave and maid reported to the emperor, the slave saw that the queen was cured, and she was very happy to shed tears, and the slave saw that the emperor came to see the queen in person, and she was excited, and she also shed tears, and there were many tears, and the slave also wanted to report to the emperor, this time the queen can recover, and she should be grateful to Concubine De, it is she who cured the queen's illness with her clever medical skills, and the queen is very lucky!"
"Cuilian, don't talk nonsense, the queen's noble body can be healthy, it is the queen's own good luck, and the emperor's blessings, we should congratulate the emperor and the queen, how can you talk nonsense!" Concubine De turned to the emperor and continued: "The concubine should have shared the emperor's worries, and it is the duty of the concubine to do her best to treat the queen's illness, and it is a great thing that the queen can recover her health, and the concubine congratulates the emperor!" Concubine De said while bowing to the emperor.
"Concubine De, you get up, this time the queen can be cured, you have a great credit, I thank you for the queen!
"Thank you to the emperor, the concubines just did what they should do, there is nothing to praise, please don't praise the concubines in front of the queen mother, otherwise, the concubines will have no place to be ashamed, as long as the emperor can still remember the concubines, the concubines will be very satisfied!" Concubine De said.
"Your Majesty, you must remember Concubine De's great kindness to the queen to cure her illness, and you must also talk more about Concubine De's exploits in front of the queen mother, if there is no her, the queen will not be able to see the emperor for a long time, and the queen is very grateful to Concubine De's sister in her heart. The queen said.
Concubine De thought: "Concubine Ben cured the queen's illness, the queen is obviously much friendlier to the concubine than before, and, just now the concubine saw from the emperor's eyes that the emperor is better to the concubine in his heart, he will definitely go to the queen mother to say good things about the concubine, but the queen mother's scheming is very deep, and she has always been wary of women with wisdom and ability in the harem, and she often shows a very disgusted psychology, if the emperor really goes to the queen mother to praise the concubine, it is likely that the concubine will encounter big trouble in the future."
