Qizhen Emperor Visits Concubine Xiao
Chapter 765:
Qizhen Emperor Visits Concubine Xiao
Qizhen Emperor asked, "What's the situation now? Any progress on the Dried Well Case? "
"Apart from their respective portraits, the Ministry of Justice has not received any news from Prince Rong and Prince Yi. It shouldn't be that fast."
"Hmm?" Qizhen Emperor frowned deeply, "You mean … their portraits? Isn't Teacher Ji the only one who knows how to draw portraits? The person Jing Yi invited also knows how? "
"I heard so."
Oh?
"Who is it?"
Qizhen Emperor was curious but also worried.
He hoped that Jing Rong could solve this case and not Jing Yi.
Zhang Quan straightened his waist and replied, "That person was invited by Prince Yi from outside. It is said that he is also an expert in solving cases and has handled many cases in various prefectures and prefectures. The commoners all say that he is a living Buddha. This time, if Prince Rong wants to solve the case before Prince Yi, I'm afraid …"
Difficult!
He did not say those three words in the end.
The Qizhen Emperor was also worried, his vigorous hands clenching tightly into fists by the lapel of his robe.
His temples ached!
Seeing this, Zhang Quan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. Even so, Prince Rong still has a chance. Teacher Ji is capable and very smart. He will definitely help Prince Rong find out the truth."
Qizhen Emperor was silent.
After a long time, he raised his eyelids, "Continue to pay attention to the Ministry of Justice's movements. Once there is any progress, inform Us immediately."
"Yes."
He thought again, then suddenly asked, "Right, I heard that Concubine Xiao is sick?"
"Yes, she has been sick for a while, but the imperial physician has already seen her and said that she is fine. She just needs to rest well."
Qizhen Emperor propped himself up and swept his sleeves across the table, knocking over the bowl of ginseng soup.
The ginseng soup spilled onto the memorial.
"Ah!" Zhang Quan exclaimed and rushed forward to 'save' it.
Fortunately, it was only a little bit.
Qizhen Emperor said, "Forget it, let him be. Come with Us to Zhangzhi Hall to see Concubine Xiao."
"Yes."
Zhang Quan placed the memorial in a clean place. After following Qizhen Emperor out, he ordered the little eunuch at the door to clean up.
Zhangzhi Hall.
Hearing that the emperor was coming, Concubine Xiao, who was resting on the bed, suddenly became spirited.
Ever since Jing Yi married the Ji family's di daughter and the court officials nominated Jing Yi as the Crown Prince, Qi Zhen Emperor rarely visited and rarely summoned Concubine Xiao to accompany him.
The relationship between the husband and wife slowly changed!
Now that she heard that the emperor was coming to see her, she hurriedly let the palace maids dress her up.
Put on some makeup!
But halfway through the makeup —
She suddenly said, "Make my face paler."
"Your Highness?"
The palace maid's hand paused in mid-air, not understanding.
Concubine Xiao glared at her through the mirror. "Just do what I told you to do. Don't talk too much."
"Yes."
The palace maid obeyed.
Her originally pale face looked even paler after applying a lot of powder.
Like a person on the verge of death!
She quickly lay down on the bed and waited for her "target" to arrive.
Not long after, the voices of palace maids and eunuchs came from outside.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
They're here!
When they entered, Concubine Xiao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly as she struggled to get up.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. “
Just as he bent down —
Qi Zhen Emperor quickly stepped forward and helped her up.
"Your body isn't well, there's no need to be so polite."
"I didn't know Your Majesty was coming. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"We deliberately didn't let anyone inform you so that you wouldn't be busy." As he spoke, Qi Zhen Emperor helped her to sit on the bed.
Then, he ordered someone to bring a blanket and cover Concubine Xiao's legs.
"You have to rest more."
"Your Majesty, this concubine's body isn't well. I'm afraid I can't serve you."
"We came especially to see you. There's no need for you to serve me, and we'll be leaving shortly."
Leaving shortly?
Concubine Xiao's expression immediately turned ugly.
She thought, 'You still want to leave?
Then I'll have to pretend to be more pitiful. '
She lowered her weak gaze and took a deep breath. She looked up and said, "Your Majesty, you're busy with affairs every day. This concubine only caught a cold. It's nothing serious. Why did you come personally?"
"We still have more to say! Why didn't you send someone to inform us of your illness? "
She smiled gently and leaned against Qi Zhen Emperor's side. "This concubine's illness is nothing compared to the affairs of the country. Your Majesty is busy with the affairs of the common people. This concubine naturally wouldn't dare to disturb you. Moreover, it's not a serious illness. I'll be fine after some rest. The imperial physician has also prescribed a lot of medicine. If I drink it every day, I'll be fine."
After saying so much in one breath, she started coughing violently again.
It was as if she was about to cough up blood.
His deathly pale face was devoid of any trace of blood.
Qi Zhen Emperor had a grudge against Concubine Xiao for suggesting that Prince Yi marry the Ji family's daughter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the wrong choice and caused Jing Yi to become so savage.
That was a thorn in his heart!
He couldn't remove it in this lifetime.
But seeing Concubine Xiao's sickly appearance, his heart ached for her.
He held her slender hands and said, "We have been busy with important matters recently and have neglected you. You're so ill, yet you're unwilling to send someone to inform us. This really makes us feel bad."
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? The affairs of the country are important. This concubine doesn't dare to interfere."
Educated and reasonable!
But her eyes were filled with tears.
Qi Zhen Emperor said in a low voice and patted the back of her hand.
Then, he asked the palace maid in the room, "How did the imperial physician diagnose and treat her? Why is Your Ladyship still not feeling better after so many days? "
The palace maid bowed. "Replying to Your Majesty, the imperial physician has come many times, but the diagnosis is the same. He said that Your Ladyship's body is too weak. In addition, the weather has not been good recently, causing her body to suffer from a cold. However, it's not a serious illness. He prescribed some medicine for Your Ladyship to take daily to recuperate."
"Which imperial physician is it?"
"Imperial Physician Chang and Imperial Physician Liu."
It's the two old imperial physicians!
Qi Zhen Emperor's expression didn't look good. He snorted and waved his sleeves, ordering, "Pass on Zhen's decree. Have Imperial Physician Gao come quickly."
His voice was loud and clear.
The little palace maid was so nervous that her neck shrank. She didn't dare to raise her head and hurriedly answered, "Yes."
Then, she hurriedly went to summon the imperial physician.
Concubine Xiao pulled on Qi Zhen Emperor's hand. "Your Majesty, why did you summon Imperial Physician Gao?"
The ones who treated her were Imperial Physician Chang and Imperial Physician Liu. If anyone were to be summoned, it should be those two old imperial physicians!
Why did they summon Imperial Physician Gao?
Qi Zhen Emperor explained, "Although Imperial Physician Chang and Imperial Physician Liu are old imperial physicians, they are still old. Their eyesight is a little blurry and they're getting muddle-headed. It's inevitable that they'll make some mistakes. We're worried, so let Imperial Physician Gao take a look and diagnose you in front of us."
"Your Majesty, this concubine is really fine."
"Look at you. Your face is pale and you don't even have the strength to speak. Since we're here today, we naturally won't leave you alone. We must find the cause of your illness and prescribe the right medicine."
Concubine Xiao's eyes reddened and she lowered her head to wipe her tears.
