Chapter 2 The Pretty Concubine Fights the Eunuch and Escapes into the Deep Valley (7)
Two days later, under the careful treatment of Concubine De, the queen's condition improved greatly, she was able to sit up easily by herself, drink water with a bowl by herself, and, for the first time in more than two months, she drank half a bowl of rice soup.
With the help of medication, Ho Tsz Han asked the queen to drink a little rice soup from today, she believes that when the patient is weak, drinking rice soup is the best auxiliary food treatment, and the five grains in the rice soup are very helpful to balance the yin and yang qi in the patient's body. In He Zhihan's view, the "Five Grains for Nourishment" recorded in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing?Su Wen,...... The smell is combined to nourish lean qi", which is the important significance of cereals for nourishing the body's qi.
On the third day, the queen's condition had improved significantly, and He Zhihan knew that according to this plan, the queen would basically recover her health within a month.
The queen's body gradually recovered, she was very happy, and a good mood helped to improve her physical condition, the palace maid Cuilian next to the queen saw a glimmer of light on the queen's face that she hadn't seen for a long time, she was very happy, she secretly thanked and admired Concubine De in her heart, she thought that it was Concubine De who saved the queen's mother.
After He Zhihan got up this morning, she remembered Lin Zhonghe who had agreed to meet her three days ago, and this morning was the time to meet.
He Zhihan thought to himself: "Lin Zhonghe is my father's protégé, he has been worried about my safety, he has already heard that Shen Deyi and Jiang Dexing have joined forces and wants to frame me again, this time Uncle Lin asked me to meet, he must have implemented a plan to rescue me, and he most likely wanted me to leave the queen's bedroom as much as possible." so as not to be framed, but now is not the time to leave the queen, but there are still five days to go. Ho decided to wait until he met Lin Zhonghe and see what he had planned.
Shen Deyi had already sent someone to the queen's bedroom to inquire about the news in time, and in the past few days, news has been coming from the harem that the queen's condition is gradually improving, and Shen Deyi feels that he has fallen into an increasingly passive situation. He was a little scared. He realized that everything he could do was needed to do anything else, or if she asked the emperor to investigate the cause of his father's death, once Concubine De regained the emperor's favor. That's a big problem.
Shen Deyi forced himself to calm down. He pondered. He came up with a plan, he decided to coerce Jiang Dexing and unite with Concubine Xian. Divide the relationship between the queen and Concubine De, divide the relationship between the queen mother and Concubine De, and if the situation is too dangerous, he decides to take the risk of getting rid of Concubine De.
Shen Deyi asked Jiang Dexing to meet secretly, and he said to Jiang Dexing: "Lord Envoy, it seems that you are in a very relaxed mood, the queen's illness is about to be cured by Concubine De, you can be relieved, right?"
"Shen Gonggong, don't say that, I am already anxious, I am afraid that a big disaster will come soon, can this still be relieved? If Concubine De cures the queen's illness, she will be favored by the emperor and the queen mother, and at that time, she will definitely investigate the cause of her father's death, once what we do is exposed, we will definitely die, and at that time, Shen Gonggong is afraid that he will also be implicated, and now the situation is critical, Shen Gonggong quickly think of a way!" Jiang Dexing said.
"You can realize that the strictness of things is easier to handle, right now, we have no way out, as far as the current situation is concerned, our enemy is only He Zhihan, Concubine Xian is a force that can be united and relied on, the Queen Mother and the Emperor have not yet stood on Concubine De's side, they belong to the centrists, and the celebrant is a potential enemy, they must not be allowed to have a chance to intervene, otherwise it will be difficult to do." Shen Deyi said.
"What does this have to do with the celebrant eunuchs, why should they intervene? When it comes to the queen's condition, everyone wants to avoid it, why do they actively get involved, aren't they afraid of lying in this troubled water? What is the benefit of intervening in such dangerous things?" Jiang Dexing said.
"Zhang Lianying is trying to snatch my power, and also wants to further control the Tai Hospital, if he intervenes in the investigation of He Junren's death, what you and I have done will be exposed, and at that time, our death time will come. Shen Deyi said.
"Gonggong Shen is a resourceful person, what do you say we should do?" Jiang Dexing asked.
"Now, He Zhihan is still alone, we should take the opportunity to attack quickly, you and I must be in the same boat, cooperate well, divide labor to do, our family will go to the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian, our family will persuade Concubine Xian to work closely with us, persuade the Queen Mother not to trust Concubine De; you still have a chance to do things well in the Tai Hospital, you have to find a way to find a chance to prolong the queen's condition, don't think she gets better so quickly, maybe find a chance to make Concubine De dizzy, it is best not to prescribe medicine for the time being, of course, the queen and Concubine De are now inside, The focus of attention in the outer court can only let their illness continue or their brains are confused, and they cannot be seriously ill or die, otherwise, the emperor will definitely investigate, but if you don't take measures against them and let the situation develop, we will soon be in danger. Shen Deyi said sternly.
"Gonggong Shen, now the queen and Concubine De are the most concerned figures in the entire harem, how dare you attack them? Moreover, the last time the queen's condition suddenly worsened, the queen mother had already sent Gonggong Wu to guard the queen's bedroom, and the celebrant also sent Gonggong Wan to the queen's bedroom, and he absolutely couldn't do anything in Xia!" Jiang Dexing refused.
"Although it is a little risk, it may be better to save your life, right? If you don't dare to take risks, once you lose your life, you won't be able to pick it up! You can do it yourself, our family won't say much, you are very expert in what our family asked you to do just now, I hope you can do it!" Shen Deyi said.
"Shen Gonggong's meaning is understood, and he will do his best!" Jiang Dexing said.
Shen Deyi said goodbye to Jiang Dexing and returned to the capital governor, and after that, he sent a little eunuch to invite Concubine Xian and ask her to meet in a hidden place.
Concubine Xian asked: "Gonggong Shen, the surname He has been relegated to the laundry room, why did she run out again, what is going on? Concubine Ben dare not ask the emperor about such a thing, can you sue Concubine Sù, why is this?"
"We all underestimated He Zhihan, she is not a little lamb as you think, she is not as gentle and elegant as the people in the palace usually see, she is very assertive in her bones, A very thoughtful person, before, she had no defense, so, under the attack, she was demoted to the laundry room, but, when she arrived at the laundry room, she was clearly aware of her danger, she quickly came up with a plan, she knew that the queen mother was eager to cure the queen's illness, she made full use of her own expertise, proposed to treat the queen, at the moment when the queen's life was hanging by a thread, the queen mother would of course agree to her request, and thus, she was temporarily out of danger. He Zhihan can turn danger into a disaster so skillfully, it can be seen that she has a plan in her head, she is not an easy person to deal with, and her docility and easy-going are only superficial. Shen Deyi said.
"It turns out that she is really a vixen, smiling in front of people, but behind the scenes she is insidious and vicious, if she cures the queen's illness, once she joins forces with the queen, the concubine will have no way to live, Gonggong Shen, you have already helped the concubine in important matters last time, and now we should join forces to deal with He Zhihan together, you must help the concubine again, and try our best to find a way to get out of the predicament." Concubine Xian said.
"If Concubine De is allowed to be favored by the emperor again, she will definitely ask the emperor to find out the real reason for the sudden aggravation of the queen's illness at that time, and it will be a big trouble. Shen Deyi deliberately targeted Concubine Xian's sore spot and said what she was most afraid of.
"Gonggong Shen, you must not let her regain the emperor's favor, otherwise, she will not only propose to find out the real reason for the sudden aggravation of the queen's condition, but also propose to the emperor to investigate the real cause of her father's death. Concubine Xian pointed out what Shen Deyi was most worried about, she actually intended to show that she already knew that Imperial Doctor He's death was related to Shen Deyi.
"Concubine Xian Niangniang is right, you can't let He Zhihan's plan succeed, right now, the Queen Mother's impression of you is still very good, you should go to see the Queen Mother, say hello to her, talk to her, you can express a worry in 'unintentionally', worried that Concubine De's return to the Inner Palace this time will be to seize the throne of the Imperial Concubine, once she ascends the throne of the Imperial Concubine, she is likely to stare at the throne of the Queen, and then, she may want to elevate the Queen Mother to monopolize the power of the Inner Palace. Also, your impression in the eyes of the queen in the past is also good, what you just said, you can also find an opportunity to talk about it when you go to visit the queen, the queen is not bad-hearted, but he is not broad-minded, if she knows that her status as the queen is threatened, she will definitely find a way to fight back, of course, in the queen mother, If you want to say this in front of the queen, you have to be skillful, you can't say it too directly, you can't say it too seriously, the more you can express it as unintentional, the more effective it is, you should know, the queen mother and the queen have one thing in common, that is, they are both against saying bad things about other concubines in front of them, but they are also very worried that their status will be threatened, and they are more worried about losing the power in their hands, so the more you understate, the more they attach more importance to what you say. Shen Deyi knew that playing with right and wrong was Concubine Xian's strength, and he deliberately instigated Concubine Xian to go to the Queen Mother and the Queen to tell right and wrong, so that the Queen Mother and Queen did not trust Concubine De, and instigated Concubine Xian to go for a walk, which was also part of Shen Deyi's plan.
"Gonggong Shen, don't worry, the concubine will definitely do her best to do a good job, the concubine has a way to convince the queen mother and the queen that Concubine De's means are very clever and ambitious, and the two 'masters' of the harem will not tolerate He Zhihan snatching their power, and they will definitely find a way to deal with her. Concubine Xian said.
"The slave estimates that if Concubine De can cure the queen's illness, the emperor will definitely recommend Concubine De to the queen mother to be promoted to the imperial concubine, so you can say to the queen mother and the queen that Concubine De is very smart, she will not say that she wants to be the imperial concubine in front of everyone, and even if someone recommends it, she will refuse, but she must take advantage of the emperor's pleasure to ask her to be the imperial concubine, and the emperor will ask the queen mother for her, so that the queen mother and the queen will be very worried and angry about her return to the inner palace. Shen Deyi said.
Concubine Xian said happily: "This plan is very wonderful, this concubine will definitely do it beautifully, Shen Gonggong is really a wise star, if there is no queen mother and queen have a more in-depth understanding, it is impossible to come up with this wonderful plan, this plan will definitely make He Zhihan in front of the queen mother and queen has no chance to raise her head, this concubine admires Shen Gonggong's clever plan very much!"
