Ye Yiqing dealt with the ministers who wanted to enter the palace to see the emperor in the imperial study while Ye Zhen continued to give Li Heng acupuncture.
Empress Fang had been taking care of Li Heng in the Qian Long Palace these days and was also taking the medicine Ye Zhen prescribed for her. She had asked someone to check her previous medicine, but there was no problem at all. She had no idea what was wrong with it.
She called Ye Zhen to the side hall and took out the dregs of the medicine. "Miss Lu, this is the medicine I have taken. Take a look and see if there is any problem."
Ye Zhen knew that Empress Fang would definitely suspect the medicine she had taken before.
However, there was certainly no problem with it.
If it was so easy to find out, Empress Fang would not have taken this medicine for so many years.
"Empress, this medicine is correct. If you take this medicine for a long time, the cold of the womb would have been cured long ago." Ye Zhen said. Empress Fang's illness was not only the cold of the womb, but also the difficulty of pregnancy caused by taking too much of the medicine. In short, Empress Fang was poisoned by medicine.
Empress Fang did not understand the meaning of Ye Zhen's words. "Do you mean that this is not the medicine I took?"
"Then you have to ask who usually decocted the medicine for you." Ye Zhen said.
The problem was not with the medicine, but with the person?
Empress Fang's expression was cold. She knew how to investigate. She thought that the people around her were
The Dongqing palace was much more complicated than she had imagined, especially when the empress had no children and the emperor was critically ill. Everyone in the palace and the court had their own agenda. Who knew what would happen next?
Just as Empress Fang was silent, her personal maid said from outside, "Empress, Wan Guiren is kneeling outside and asking for an audience."
When Empress Fang heard the words Wan Guiren, her face changed slightly. "Does she want to see the emperor?"
The maid said, "Replying to Empress Fang, Wan Guiren asks to see you."
"Let her come to the side hall." Empress Fang said.
Ye Zhen noticed that when Empress Fang heard the words Wan Guiren, a strange look seemed to flash across her face.
"Empress Fang, then I will leave first." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.
Empress Fang nodded gently. "His Majesty is about to wake up. Miss Lu, please feed him his medicine first."
Ye Zhen nodded, bowed her head, and left the side hall. After a few steps, she saw Empress Fang leading a slender and beautiful woman. The woman had a graceful posture, delicate facial features, and there was a delicate timidity in her eyes.
This woman should be Noble Concubine Wan. She was completely different from Noble Concubine Liu a few days ago.
Wan Guiren also noticed Ye Zhen. The moment she saw Ye Zhen, her whole body froze, and there was a flash of panic and grief in her eyes.
Ye Rou lowered her eyes and stood to let Wan Guiren walk out first.
Who was this? At this time, Wan guiren only had this doubt in his heart. Could it be … could it be that the Emperor not attending morning court wasn't because he was sick, but because of this extremely beautiful woman?
"Noble Wan, please come this way." The palace maid noticed that she had stopped and softly reminded her.
"Alright." Wan Guiren withdrew his gaze. With a pale face, she followed the palace maid and left.
Ye Rou looked up at her back view and returned to her bedroom.
Just then, Li Heng woke up and saw Ye Zhen. He smiled faintly. "Miss Lu, I don't feel so dizzy today."
"Your Majesty, your body will gradually get better." She fed him with spirit spring water every day. Even if it couldn't be cured immediately, it would at least have a therapeutic effect.
Li Heng smiled and nodded. "Where is your father?"
"I heard that he went to the imperial study." Ye Zhen whispered.
"Gonggong Su, who entered the palace today?" Li Heng looked at Gonggong Su next to him.
"Replying to Your Majesty, it's … it's several ministers from the cabinet who wanted to see Your Majesty, but they were stopped by Lord Ye."
Gonggong Su replied.
Li Heng snorted coldly. "I only missed morning court for two days. Are they already impatient?"
Gonggong Su dared not answer Li Heng's words.
Ye Zhen brought the medicine from the side. "Your Majesty, take your medicine first."
"Miss Lu, when can I go to court?" Li Heng didn't believe in Ye Zhen's medical skills at first. He thought that without Huang Fuchen, his illness would be more difficult to cure. However, he was now more energetic day by day, which made him look at the little girl with new eyes.
"Your Majesty's spirit is better. If you don't mind, you can go out for a walk." Soon it will be the New Year, and Li Heng can rest for a few days.
Li Heng nodded gently. "Did anyone come just now?"
Gonggong Su hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, it's Wan Guiren who requests an audience with the Empress in the side hall."
Hearing the words Wan Guiren, Li Heng's eyes darkened slightly. He was silent for a while. "What's the matter?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Gonggong Su immediately answered and left.
Ye Zhen felt that Wan Guiren's position in Li Heng's mind should be extraordinary. She glanced at Li Heng and whispered, "Your Majesty, this subject's daughter will withdraw first."
As soon as she left the Qian Long Palace, she saw Ye Yiqing coming over with a young man in an official uniform.
The happy smile on Ye Zhen's face faded slightly. Her father didn't want so many people to know her relationship with him, so she didn't immediately call him.
"Yao Yao, is the emperor awake?" Ye Yiqing glanced at her with a smile and did not deliberately hide his identity to talk to her.
"He has woken up. Daddy, do you want to go in? There is a Wan Guiren who requests an audience with the Empress. He is in the side hall. " When Ye Zhen heard her father call her name, she knew that the young man beside him should be his confidant.
Ye Yiqing frowned slightly. "Wan Guiren?"
Ye Zhen was sure that this Wan Guiren was not an ordinary person. Even her father frowned when he heard her name. "Daddy, who is she?"
"Wan Guifei's niece." Ye Yiqing said faintly, "You wait here. I'll go to see the emperor first."
"Your Excellency, please go in." The young man behind him said.
Ye Yiqing smiled at Ye Zhen and said, "This is the top scholar of Dongqing this year. He is also … my student. You can call him Brother Cao."
The top scholar of Dongqing? Surnamed Cao?
Ye Zhen was stunned. She almost forgot what Li Yuniang had given her. Now she remembered that there was still the map. Could it be that this Brother Cao was the Cao Yu that Li Yuniang mentioned, the son of Boss Cao?
"What's wrong?" Ye Yiqing asked his daughter in a low voice.
"Nothing!" Ye Zhen hurriedly shook her head. "Daddy, there's one more thing I haven't told you. We'll talk about it later."
Ye Yiqing nodded with a smile and lifted his foot into the bedroom.
Ye Zhen looked up at Cao Yu. "Brother Cao, are you the Cao Sanyuan, Cao Yu that everyone knows?"
Cao Yu chuckled. "What Cao Sanyuan? It's all a joke. Miss Lu, don't laugh."
It's really Cao Yu!
There are really many coincidences in this world.
