Liu Huai's wife had always been short-tempered. Not only was she short-tempered, but she also had many views that differed from Liu Huai's. For example, she was currently scolding, "Liu Huai! Don't think I don't know why they sent that kind of thing to the residence. Isn't it because you offended the Ninth Prince and Princess Ji 'an? What kind of things are growing in your head? Everyone in the world knows that the Ninth Prince can't be offended, so how can you go against him? Do you think you're capable? Now, they even sent paper money to the residence, and you still ordered people to cook with it. You've lived long enough, but this old lady still wants to live for a few more years! "
Madam Li scolded like a shrew, but her words were quite reasonable. Indeed, everyone in the world knew that the Ninth Prince of Hell couldn't be offended, but Liu Huai tried to cause trouble for his wife yesterday. Liu Huai understood Madam Li's reasoning, but it didn't mean that he could endure the insults of the shrew at home. Facing the bold Madam Li, Liu Huai raised his arm and slapped her across the face. Madam Li almost fell down from the slap, and at the same time, he shouted, "Woman, what do you know?"
"You hit me?" Madam Li's eyes widened, "I know everything! Don't you just want to help the Eighth Prince? I'm telling you, that person has no chance! You'd better give up and live your life peacefully. Also, that younger sister of yours in the palace hasn't done anything for the family for more than 20 years. Now that she's about to die, you still want to harm the Liu Family? "
Liu Huai was so angry that he couldn't do anything. He pointed at Madam Li and trembled as he said, "Scram! You scram! "
That night, the Liu Family was in a mess. It was said that the couple was still fighting in the middle of the night! However, the Imperial Palace Yu was very quiet and peaceful. The big bad wolf made an exception and didn't want to eat meat. The two slept in each other's arms. It was so warm that he didn't want to get up until the next day when it was time to go to court.
However, they still had to attend the imperial court, including Feng Yu Heng. After waking up, they had to make arrangements to enter the palace again. Ban Zou told her about what happened in the Liu manor last night as if it was a joke. She also listened with great interest. Then, she did not forget to say to Wang Chuan: "Lady Zhou taking the initiative to go with you is to support you. You need to remember to thank her."
Wang Chuan nodded. "Don't worry, Miss. This servant understands." As they spoke, Huang Quan also brought breakfast in. Wang Chuan helped her ladle some porridge and said, "It's already past the Mid-Autumn Festival. The palace didn't organize any banquets this year, so things have quieted down quite a bit. It's a pity that those young ladies who only want to show their faces at the palace banquet will lose an opportunity to attract attention. "
Huang Quan snorted coldly and said, "In my opinion, it's best if there's no palace banquet. Which banquet in the palace did not cause trouble? There will always be people who want to use the palace banquet to stir up trouble. There's never been a peaceful time. Especially that time on the first day of the new year. The emperor was most likely upset because of that matter, so he didn't organize the Mid-Autumn Festival. "
Feng Yu Heng did not participate in the topic of the palace banquet between the two maidservants. She and Xuan Tianming had returned to the capital at the beginning of the eighth month. Now, it was almost the ninth month. The weather became colder in the mornings and evenings. Only the scorching sun at noon was still very scorching. She had heard Xuan Tianming mention before that the reason why Emperor Tianwu did not organize a palace banquet was because everyone had all sorts of guesses. However, in reality, Tianwu's thinking was very simple. It was all because Consort Yun allowed him to go in and out of Winter Moon Palace for three meals a day. Therefore, he wanted to properly celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Consort Yun on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. If there was going to be a palace banquet, Consort Yun definitely would not leave Winter Moon Palace. For so many years, he had not been able to accompany Consort Yun to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, she finally spat out some food. How could he miss it? Not only did he not organize a palace banquet, but he also did not allow the children to enter the palace.
Feng Yu Heng had officially entered the palace to treat Concubine Liu's illness. When she entered the palace from Rui Gate, she heard the eunuchs discussing in low voices. They were all saying that she had officially taken over Concubine Liu's illness. The Imperial Academy of Medicine also let out a sigh of relief. Whether Concubine Liu lived or died, it would no longer be related to the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Everything would be taken care of by Royal Consort Yu!
Huang Quan and Wang Chuan had accompanied her into the palace today. Hearing this, Huang Quan unhappily said: "What do you mean by our young miss will take care of everything? Those imperial physicians have been treating her for so long but have not been able to cure her. Seeing that she is about to die, they pushed it to our young miss. Could it be that they really think our young miss is a deity? That she can cure any kind of illness? "
Wang Chuan thought deeper and faintly said: "If she can't be cured, then she will be charged with the crime of causing the death of an imperial concubine. That was how the Yao family fell into the Third Prince's trap."
Huang Quan wasn't stupid. He could still analyze the situation. Hearing Wang Chuan say this, he couldn't help but coldly snort: "Dream on! At the time, that person was an imperial concubine. Concubine Liu was only an insignificant concubine. Her family only had a third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. You want to imitate the past? You're really indulging in fantasy. "
Feng Yu Heng also understood this logic, so she had never worried. Even when Xuan Tianming brought it up, she only felt a little rueful because of the Yao family's matter. If it was to be said that she was afraid, she wasn't afraid at all. Not only could Concubine Liu not be compared to that imperial concubine, but the current Feng Yu Heng also couldn't be compared to the original Yao Xian. Want to harm her? The Liu family still needed to cultivate. But there was something that she remembered, thus she asked Wang Chuan: "The two people that we sent to the imperial physician's office, has there been any news recently?"
In order to avoid trouble in the palace, she sent two people from Hundred Herb Hall to the Imperial Academy of Medicine. One was Song Kang's disciple, Sun Qi, and the other was Wang Lin's distant relative, Xu Mao. When Wang Chuan heard her ask about the two people, he shook his head: "There hasn't been any news. They've always been in contact with Wang Lin. In addition, we've been away from the capital for too long, so we haven't been able to pay attention to those two people."
"I still need to find an opportunity to meet them." Feng Yu Heng pondered for a while, then turned to Huang Quan and said: "Go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine right now and say that I need an assistant to treat Concubine Liu. Just … just call that Xu Mao!"
Huang Quan nodded, then turned and walked toward the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Wang Chuan thought a bit more, so he asked: "Xu Mao has always been Sun Qi's assistant. In terms of medical skills, Sun Shu is better. Why did Miss choose Xu Mao? Is it because you don't trust Sun Qi?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded: "Sun Qi's origins are still unknown. The reason why Xu Mao was brought along was to stay by Sun Qi's side to watch over him, just in case. We can't control how the people outside do bad things, but we can't let bad things fall into our own hands. "
The two didn't say anything else and walked toward Anju Palace. When they arrived, Huang Quan had also hurried back from the Imperial Academy of Medicine. She walked a bit hurriedly, so when she stopped, she was still a bit out of breath. However, when Feng Yu Heng looked behind her, the person who followed her back wasn't Xu Mao, but a young imperial physician that she didn't recognize.
Huang Quan winked at Feng Yu Heng, then said: "This servant went at the wrong time. The people of the Imperial Academy of Medicine were scattered to each palace to check on the niangniang's pulse. Only one imperial physician was left to stand guard. There were also two young men who were prescribing medicine. The imperial physician standing guard couldn't leave, so he sent this young man to follow. "
The young imperial physician quickly came forward and bowed to Feng Yu Heng. He said that his surname was Feng. He hadn't been working at the Imperial Academy of Medicine for long, so he didn't have any specific tasks. He was just an assistant to the imperial physicians.
Feng Yu Heng saw that he was a bit nervous, so she spoke to comfort him: "Imperial Physician Feng doesn't need to be so modest. I only need an assistant. Just follow me."
The young imperial physician wiped his sweat and respectfully followed behind Feng Yu Heng. He was still five steps away from her, very obedient.
Huang Quan leaned close to Feng Yu Heng and whispered: "Sun Qi went to check on the empress's pulse and took Xu Mao away. When this servant went to the Imperial Academy of Medicine, the situation was like this. It wasn't good to say that Xu Mao wasn't here and leave to avoid arousing suspicion. Thus, this servant casually brought someone back. Miss will find an excuse to send him away later. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded and walked a few steps into the main hall of Anju Palace.
Concubine Liu was awake today. Although her spirit wasn't good and she looked as old as before, she could still recognize people. She had attended palace banquets before and naturally knew who Feng Yu Heng was. In addition, the servants had told her that Royal Consort Yu had taken over her illness. When she saw that Feng Yu Heng had arrived, Concubine Liu was very happy. She hurriedly prepared tea for Feng Yu Heng and gave her a seat. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng was seated and that the servants had brought tea, Concubine Liu weakly said: "Thank you for your trouble. The imperial physicians all said that ben gong won't live for long. Fortunately, His Majesty still remembered the kindness of the past and invited Junzhu to treat ben gong's illness. Ben gong heard that Junzhu also came yesterday and said that ben gong's illness could be cured? "
She repeatedly said ben gong and mentioned Tianwu's kindness of the past. In that instant, Feng Yu Heng saw a trace of unwillingness flash through Concubine Liu's eyes. Her mind turned and she spoke: "Originally, Heng didn't know that niangniang was seriously ill. It was Assistant Minister Liu who begged His Majesty for Heng to enter the palace to treat niangniang's illness." As she spoke, she revealed a bitter smile: "Normally, Heng doesn't even have the right to enter the palace. At the beginning of the year, I was impeached by the officials and they all begged Fuhuang to not allow me to enter the palace. Because of this, I couldn't even stay in the capital. Even after returning to the capital from the south, I only entered the palace once to serve Fuhuang and Her Majesty tea. Thinking about it, Assistant Minister Liu really put in a lot of effort for niangniang's illness. Niangniang and Assistant Minister Liu have such a deep sibling relationship that it truly makes one envious. "
Hearing that her brother had begged His Majesty to allow Feng Yu Heng to enter the palace, Concubine Liu couldn't help but sigh, "That's right! Brother has treated me very well since I was young. It's a pity that I've entered the palace for decades and rarely seen my family. I haven't been able to help my family much. Thinking about it, I'm ashamed. "
"Niangniang, don't say such things. You are still young. You still have a long life ahead of you. Fuhuang knew that you were seriously ill and has been coming to An Ju Palace to see you these past few days. It's a pity that you have been unconscious the entire time." She stood and sat next to Concubine Liu's bed. Reaching out, she held Concubine Liu's hand and said: "Niangniang, don't worry. Your illness can be cured by Heng."
"Really?" Concubine Liu's dull eyes finally flashed with the light of hope. She grabbed Feng Yu Heng's hand. Because she used too much strength, her body couldn't help but tremble. But she didn't care at all. Her mind was completely focused on Feng Yu Heng's words that she could be cured. She anxiously asked: "Can it really be cured?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "If I said no, wouldn't I be letting Fuhuang and Assistant Minister Liu's hopes down? It's just that curing niangniang's illness still requires the Liu family's help. "
"Don't worry!" Concubine Liu promised Feng Yu Heng, "As long as ben gong can be cured, the Liu family will definitely do their best to help! Especially that brother of mine. He truly treats ben gong! "
Feng Yu Heng smiled, "That's good."
Harm me? It's still not certain who's setting a trap for whom!
