Every time that Zhang Yuan spoke with Xuan Tian Ming, he would have a mental breakdown. "Serves you right" and "reap what you sow." Using these sorts of words to describe the Emperor, in this world, only this ninth king of hell could do such things.
"What happened after that? Concubine Liu's maternal family should have made some movements, right? "Feng Yu Heng hurriedly changed the topic, not wanting to let Xuan Tianming speak again.
Zhang Yuan felt more and more that Feng Yu Heng was truly great. She was simply his savior! Thus, he hurriedly said, "There were definitely movements. Concubine Liu's father was the Minister of Rites at the time, a standard second-rank official. Because of this matter, Minister Liu was very unhappy. Back then, it was he who led the charge to accuse Consort Yun of monopolizing the harem. I heard that it happened many times in a row! But the Emperor wholeheartedly favored Imperial Concubine Yun. No matter how much of a fuss they caused, they would not be able to gain any benefits. Watching Concubine Liu lose power in the palace, and watching more and more members of the imperial harem lose power, Minister Liu became so angry that he fell ill and passed away. Only then did the Emperor feel somewhat apologetic. Thus, he made an exception and promoted Concubine Liu's eldest brother to become the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, a standard third-rank official. "
"Those people in the court who just stand in their positions and don't do anything were all like this." Xuan Tianming spoke again, scaring Zhang Yuan. He couldn't help but hope that they would quickly arrive at the Imperial Palace. In any case, there was an old Emperor in the palace who could support him. If he continued to interact with the Ninth Prince, his little heart wouldn't be able to take it.
However, Xuan Tianming's words weren't completely without reason. These years, the Emperor knew that he owed the women in the harem a great deal. Thus, he did his best to compensate them in terms of power. Those positions that could be arranged were all arranged. It could be considered a psychological comfort for himself. However, it was also because of the arrangement of these officials that a lot of hatred gathered together today. These people collectively leaned towards the Eighth Prince.
Zhang Yuan thought about it and felt that he still had to say a few more words, so he said, "That Concubine Liu is seriously ill. I don't know how long she has been ill. In any case, the Emperor doesn't care about the inner palace. There are many reports in the inner palace that don't reach the Emperor. It wasn't until yesterday that all the imperial physicians in the palace declared that they were helpless and told them to prepare for the funeral that the emperor received the news and went to take a look. Wang Fei also knew that the Emperor was getting old. When people got older, it was easy for them to reminisce about old friendships. When he saw Concubine Liu's sickly appearance, he felt a bit vexed. Concubine Liu's eldest brother, Assistant Minister Liu, also came to the palace. It was Assistant Minister Liu who suggested inviting Princess Consort into the palace. "
"Oh?" Feng Yu Heng was startled. "Assistant Minister Liu proposed it?" Then her eyes narrowed. "That's interesting!"
Xuan Tianming also smiled wickedly and leisurely said, "That's right! Eighth Brother's people took the initiative to invite I's wife into the palace to treat his sister. This matter is a bit particular. "
Zhang Yuan wasn't stupid. When Assistant Minister Liu had made this request, he had felt it was very awkward. He had even whispered to Emperor Tianwu that there was definitely something going on here. However, he didn't know if Emperor Tianwu didn't hear him or if he didn't want to think about this matter due to the grief of Concubine Liu's impending death. In short, his reminder didn't succeed in changing Emperor Tianwu's decision. He was still chased out of the palace and had to personally go to the Imperial Palace Yu to invite Concubine Liu. Zhang Yuan was very angry about this, but looking at Xuan Tianming's gloomy face and Feng Yu Heng's thoughtful appearance, he was a bit worried. Although the eunuchs weren't prepared to take responsibility for the Emperor's actions, what if the Ninth Prince and the old Emperor quarreled because of this matter? The old emperor was already so old. How many more torments could he endure?
Thus, Zhang Yuan began to act on Feng Yu Heng's side. He advised, "Wang Fei, don't blame His Majesty. Although Assistant Minister Liu proposed this and His Majesty nodded, Concubine Liu's illness is very serious. The imperial physicians said that she wouldn't last more than a month. In the end, she was someone that His Majesty favored. Although twenty years have passed, His Majesty's heart still doesn't feel good when he suddenly sees her like this. That's why he nodded and invited you into the palace. Please don't blame His Majesty. " While saying this, she secretly pointed in Xuan Tian Ming's direction. Her meaning was for Feng Yu Heng to advise him a little.
Feng Yu Heng didn't respond. She only asked, "What are the symptoms of Concubine Liu's illness? What are the results of the imperial physicians? "
Zhang Yuan quickly said, "The people in An Ju Palace said that Concubine Liu has felt weak in her entire body since a year ago. She would often be unable to walk after taking a stroll in the garden. She had to rely on the eunuchs to carry her back in a soft sedan. These symptoms of weakness became more and more serious. In the past two months, it was said that she couldn't even get out of bed. The imperial physicians couldn't say for sure. The report said that her body was weak. There were even people who said that Concubine Liu became ill from missing His Majesty. His Majesty blamed himself even more because of this. "
"She only has a month left to live. Why did you call Heng Heng to treat her?" When they arrived at the palace gates, Xuan Tianming threw down these words. He then personally helped Feng Yu Heng off the palace carriage.
Zhang Yuan said, "It seems that there was an imperial physician who suggested to the Liu Family that Royal Consort Yu could treat this illness."
"Which imperial physician is tired of living?" Xuan Tianming's words were very impolite. From beginning to end, he didn't give a good face.
Zhang Yuan didn't want to answer anymore. Now that they had entered the palace, he hurriedly led them forward. When they reached the entrance of An Ju Palace, they heard a palace maid say, "Eunuch Zhang has finally returned. His Majesty has been urging you inside for many times!" After she finished speaking, she raised her head and saw Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng. She quickly knelt and paid her respects.
Xuan Tianming didn't pay attention to her. He looked at An Ju Palace and frowned. Feng Yu Heng tugged on his sleeve and said, "You go sit at Mother's place. I can go in by myself. If Imperial Father stayed here today, I'm afraid that he didn't go to Winter Moon Palace. Mother's heart wouldn't feel good. You should accompany her. "
Xuan Tianming felt that his wife was really considerate. Where else could he find such a clever and capable wife? Thus, he nodded and told her, "Don't tire yourself too much. Someone who only has a month to live, it doesn't matter if you treat them or not. When their Liu Family sent their daughter into the palace, they had to be prepared to lose favor. What's more, a married daughter is like spilled water. Even if she dies, she won't be buried in the Liu Family's ancestral grave. What's the point of blindly following them? "After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Feng Yu Heng helplessly shook her head. For a physician, whether the patient had a month to live or a day to live, she would do her best to treat them. However, she could understand Xuan Tianming's attitude. After all, he was a member of the Eighth Prince's faction, and it was the Liu Family that took the initiative to ask her to treat them. There might be something fishy waiting inside. She would go in and take a look first.
Raising her feet, she stepped over the threshold of An Ju Palace. Turning her head, she saw a square-faced man standing under a large tree in the palace courtyard. He was around forty years old, and his face was surrounded by a gloomy aura. His expression was so ugly that it was as if someone in his family had died.
She didn't have much of an impression of the court officials. She was analyzing that since this man could enter the inner palace, he was most likely Concubine Liu's older brother, right? At this time, she heard that person suddenly open his mouth and very impolitely say, "His Ninth Highness and Princess Ji An want all the concubines and concubines in the inner palace to die, right? Only when everyone dies will Consort Yun be able to leave Winter Moon Palace. Only then will you all be able to live more justifiably. "
As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Yu Heng's footsteps immediately stopped. In an instant, a chill spread from her body. It was so cold that Zhang Yuan, who was behind her, shivered.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Zhang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and said to the square-faced man in a sharp voice, "Assistant Minister Liu! How can you speak to Royal Consort Yu like this? His Majesty only allowed you to go to An Ju Palace because of your deep sibling relationship. He also invited Royal Consort Yu to examine Concubine Liu. Why is it that Assistant Minister Liu doesn't show any gratitude and instead speaks so viciously? "
"It's fine." Feng Yu Heng waved her hand, "If Assistant Minister Liu has these kinds of thoughts, then it can be assumed that he doesn't truly care about his younger sister. It's said that when meeting a physician, one must be courteous. Unless the other party is His Majesty, who is so high that the physician has no choice but to fear him, Consort I have never heard of anyone who dares to speak so viciously before the physician even sees the patient. It seems that in Assistant Minister Liu's heart, there is no difference between himself and His Majesty. "
"You're talking nonsense!" Assistant Minister Liu already knew that Princess Ji An had a sharp tongue and was mentally prepared. Originally, he didn't want to play hero with her, but when he heard Xuan Tianming's words, he couldn't hold back his anger and said a few words. He didn't expect that the other party would still speak so harshly. "Speaking such nonsense at such a young age. I've long heard that the Feng family's upbringing isn't very good. Seeing it today, it seems to be true."
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Assistant Minister Liu is right. The Feng family's upbringing isn't very good. However, you can't tell me about this. How about I recommend Assistant Minister Liu to bring it up with my father?" After saying this, her face tightened and she said to Wang Chuan behind her: "Remember to send some servants to buy some paper money and send it to the Left Assistant Minister's fu when we return to the fu today. This will allow Left Assistant Minister Liu to properly communicate with my father. Buy some more. Looking at Lord Liu's posture, I'm afraid he has a lot to say to my father! " After she finished speaking, the corner of her lips curled up. She didn't look at Assistant Minister Liu again and directly walked towards the main hall of Anju Palace.
Assistant Minister Liu angrily gritted his teeth, but this was the imperial palace. Emperor Tianwu was still inside, so he couldn't say anything. However, since Feng Yu Heng was here, then it was easy to handle. She had to treat this illness whether she wanted to or not. As for whether it was good or bad, that wasn't up to her to decide.
Thinking of this, a trace of evil appeared on Assistant Minister Liu's face. He looked towards the main hall again and coldly snorted in his heart! What deep sibling love? Back then, his father had given his life for this daughter's favor. Now, it was time to return the favor. The Liu family had been oppressed for so many years. This younger sister of his should also make some contributions to the family. What godly doctor? He didn't believe that someone who was that sick could be saved. But if she couldn't be saved, then this matter would have to be properly discussed.
As he thought this, he also walked in. When he entered the hall, Feng Yu Heng had already greeted Emperor Tianwu. Although Emperor Tianwu felt that he owed Concubine Liu, so many years had passed. His feelings for her had already been worn away. The only reason he was sitting here now was to give this woman some comfort before she died. There was guilt, but there wasn't a trace of affection.
After Assistant Minister Liu entered, he didn't say anything. He bowed to Tianwu and then stood to the side. There wasn't even an imperial physician in the room. Emperor Tianwu said: "Those good-for-nothings in the Imperial Physician's Department couldn't tell what was wrong, so I didn't let them come again. Heng Heng, take a look. What kind of illness is this? Can it be cured? "
Feng Yu Heng nodded and walked forward to sit beside Concubine Liu's bed. When a harem entered the palace, they generally didn't exceed seventeen years old. According to Concubine Liu's age, she should be around forty years old. Unfortunately, she was plagued with illness and didn't have the nourishment of love for many years. This person looked like a sixty year old woman. She didn't have any of the beauty of an imperial concubine.
She sighed softly and reached out to put her hand on Concubine Liu's wrist. At the same time, she faintly said: "What ability does Heng have to be able to treat Concubine Liu's illness? Assistant Minister Liu just said that His Ninth Highness and I didn't have a proper reputation. What he said made Heng Heng feel uneasy. " After she finished speaking, she let go of her hand and helplessly said to Tianwu: "Father Emperor, daughter-in-law's heart is very uneasy because of what Assistant Minister Liu said. My heart is very flustered. I'm afraid that this pulse … won't be easy to diagnose!"
After she finished speaking, her gaze unobtrusively glanced at Assistant Minister Liu and sneered in her heart. Did he think that matter was over? Hmph! Today, this great aunt will let you experience what it means to be haunted.
