The two maids stood there, not knowing what to do. The Imperial Physician Of Qin cleaned his hands with the water that Winter Solstice had brought. He wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief and ordered, "In an hour, you … which one of you is Xia Zhi? Anyway, the one who studies medicine, take the needles. Winter Solstice, watch the time and boil the medicine. During the medicinal bath, keep it warm. "
After he finished speaking, he left behind the medicine bag and left. He probably went to Green Tapestry Hall. It was said that Concubine Qing's health was not good recently.
Winter Solstice kept staring at the hourglass in the corner of the hall. When he saw that it was almost time, he took the medicine bag and said to Xia Zhi, "There's still half an hour left. Be careful. I'll go boil the medicine first."
In the end, the twins wrapped her in a silk blanket and helped her into the tub as gently as possible. Bai Suyan was soaked in the warm medicinal bath. Her consciousness was blurred. Her neck leaned against the edge of the tub. Her face was pale and her eyebrows were unconsciously furrowed. This medicinal bath was even more uncomfortable than acupuncture. Layer after layer of cold sweat came out. Some blood flowed out of the acupuncture points where the needles had pierced and quietly seeped into the brown medicinal bath.
Xia Zhi saw the blood dripping down Bai Suyan's shoulder and said in shock, "How could this be? I … I pulled out the needles too early? Or did I do it wrong? "
Winter Solstice was also anxious, but he was calmer than Xia Zhi. He held down his sister who was about to jump up and said, "You stay here and watch. I'll go to Green Tapestry Hall to find the Imperial Physician Of Qin."
At this time, in Green Tapestry Hall —
Concubine Qing's complexion was worse than before. Her face was waxen and her eyes were dark. She leaned against the couch lazily and did not look very energetic.
Below, Yan Shi smiled wholeheartedly and introduced the treasures that Wang Xian Fei had given her because she was worried about Concubine Qing's health. In fact, it was also to comfort her that day when she was ill, Wang Xian Fei and Wen Yu Furen had taken away her real power without saying a word.
Concubine Qing patiently waited for her to finish speaking before slowly opening her mouth, "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Xian niangniang. Please help convey ben gong's thanks. Here is a small token of appreciation. Please have some tea." She grabbed a handful of golden sunflower seeds and gave it to Yan Shi. Yan Shi didn't decline and accepted it with a smile.
Seeing her accept it, Concubine Qing asked, "Consort Xian, is your health? Ben gong wanted to come and congratulate you, but I was afraid it would be inconvenient for you. I was rude. "
Yan Shi found it strange that Concubine Qing was so ill but still wanted to come and congratulate her. She said, "Replying to Young Mistress, although my Consort's health has improved greatly after being nursed in the Imperial Hospital, my Consort knows that Young Mistress's health is not good. Also, you have saved her life. She is afraid that Young Mistress's health has passed and she would not trouble Young Mistress."
Her words sounded polite, but she was secretly warning Concubine Qing not to be tactful. If she really went to the door and passed her illness to Concubine Wang Xian, even if she saved her life, it was not an excuse for Concubine Qing to repay her kindness.
"That's true. It would not be good if Consort Wang Ji had passed." Concubine Qing waved her hand and indicated for Cai Ju to bring over a longevity lock carved from the finest Hetian jade. "Ben gong has been lying in bed these days and missed Wang Ji's three days of bathing. Young Mistress, please give this to Wang Ji on behalf of ben gong." As she spoke, she grabbed another two handfuls of golden sunflower seeds for a reward.
Yan Shi hurriedly refused, "It's just passing something over. There is no need for a reward. Young Mistress, please take it back. Nubi cannot accept it."
Zhe Man held the golden sunflower seeds in front of Yan Shi. Cai Ju followed closely behind. Concubine Qing said, "Since it's ben gong's reward, just take it. Also, you are almost twenty years old. It's good to have more."
Yan Shi felt conflicted. Her hands unconsciously reached out and bent her knees to receive it, "Nubi thanks Young Mistress for the reward. If there is nothing else, nubi will take her leave."
"Go."
Yan Shi held the longevity lock and left. She happened to bump into Qin Buxun. After greeting him, she didn't stay and left. Qin Buxun took a few more glances.
After checking her pulse and prescribing medicine, he gave some instructions. Seeing his niece's drowsy state, he asked, "Is it the same lock from before?"
The two head palace maids glanced at their master. Zhe Man said in a small voice, "Originally, it was put away in the warehouse. Today, it was dug out again. It was said to be for Wang Ji."
Qin Buxun curled his lips, "Wang Family's Wang Ji, that Consort Wang can get out of bed now?"
Without waiting for Zhe Man to continue speaking, a junior palace maid reported from outside, "Reporting to Young Mistress, Liuying Hall's Winter Solstice is waiting outside."
"So many things." Qin Buxun stood and flicked his sleeves, "Look after Concubine Qing. If there is a situation, immediately find me."
"Yes."
Next door, in Youhuang Palace, the atmosphere was harmonious. Luoshuanga came to see Wang Ji again. Consort Wang had the wet nurse hold the little princess while she took a rocking drum to play with her. The little princess had a weak body. Although her eyes followed the rocking drum, her reactions weren't lively.
The two saw Yan Shi's conflicted expression. She came back with a longevity lock. Consort Wang asked, "Where did this come from?"
Yan Shi bowed and said, "This is Concubine Qing's gift for Wang Ji."
Consort Wang didn't like it and frowned, "Take it to the warehouse!" If Luoshuanga wasn't here, she probably would have scolded her and then had someone throw it out.
"Wait, bring it here." Luoshuanga picked up the longevity lock and rubbed it in his hand for a while, "This is Concubine Qing's kind intentions. This lock is also good stuff. Let our child wear it. Otherwise, who are you waiting to give it to?" Finishing speaking, he stood and personally put it on for Wang Ji.
"How about Wang Ji's nickname be Hong Xian?"
"Hong Xian?" Consort Wang's heart was warmed by his words. For a moment, she forgot that this was a gift from Concubine Qing. Would it help the little princess recover from her illness?
Luo Shuang Yue gently caressed Chuiyou's tender little face. Looking at the Longevity Lock on the little princess's neck, her eyes also became somewhat warm. She gently said, "The lovebirds and even the twigs are not even comparable to a red thread in my eyes. Do you like it?"
Consort Wang stood up with the help of the Jubilee. She walked to his side and looked at Wang Ji together, "Of course it's good if it's given by Your Majesty."
Luoshuanga smiled, "Hong Xian is also tired. Carry her down."
The wet nurse stole a glance at Consort Wang and nodded. Only then did she agree and carry the little princess out.
In the blink of an eye, she saw that Luoshuanga was suddenly unhappy and seemed to be thinking about something. Consort Wang called out to him a few times before coming back to her senses and asking what was wrong.
Consort Wang pursed her lips, "Ever since you had the little princess, Your Majesty has become much colder to me. Could it be that you dislike me for being dull after giving birth? You don't like me anymore."
Luoshuanga chuckled and pinched Consort Wang's chin, which was sharper than before she was pregnant, "Look at Feifei's countenance. How does it look like she has given birth? However, compared to before, she is much more charming."
Consort Wang blushed and gently pushed his fingers away, "Your Majesty, please coax me. In the past few days, I've been coaxing the little princess."
Luoshuanga said, "Why? Are you jealous of your own child? Or does Feifei also want to be coaxed to sleep alone?"
Wang Xian Fei's heart was beating wildly when she heard his flirtatious tone. She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, looking charming and gorgeous. "It's still daytime!"
Luoshuanga put his arm around her, "Is it bright? It's about the same when the curtains are down! "
Consort Wang pushed him away softly and took a few steps into the inner room, "There's someone else!"
Luoshuanga looked around the room. The palace servants all bowed and left. He went forward and tugged at Consort Wang's belt, "Is there anyone else here?"
Consort Wang pouted, "Annoying."
Luoshuanga lifted her face and pressed his lips against hers. He loosened her belt and led her into the inner room, where they all fell onto the couch.
The embroidered curtain was pulled to one side by a white hand. Her hair was messy, and her jewelry fell to the ground. She was incomparably alluring.
Yan Shi and Jubilee retreated to guard outside the door and listened to the movements inside. After a while, Yan Shi asked, "Is it really okay?"
Jubilee's expression changed. After a long time, she squeezed out the words from between her teeth, "I hope Your Majesty dotes on Consort Wang and is gentler … There shouldn't be any problems."
Yan Shi was still young. When discussing such matters, her face was flustered, "Then it should be fine."
Consort Wang had used up a lot of energy during this labor. However, Luoshuanga was becoming colder and colder to her. After she gave birth, he mostly visited the little princess and asked her if she was on the way. He rarely stayed overnight, which made her anxious.
She ordered Jubilee to use strong medicine to adjust her complexion and figure in a short time. She was trying to win back the man's heart that was drifting away.
"Why are you all outside?" Suddenly, a question came out of nowhere.
Yan Shi and Jubilee raised their heads and saw Lady Wen Yu gracefully walking over. They hurriedly bowed, "This servant kowtows in salute to Lady Wen Yu."
"No need for formalities," Lady Wen Yu looked strangely at the tightly shut door, "Is Consort Xian Jiejie resting?"
Yan Shi and Jubilee looked at each other. For a moment, they were speechless. Heye, who was beside Lady Wen Yu, pulled on her sleeve, indicating for her to look into the side room. The people around Luoshuanga were all drinking tea inside.
Lady Wen Yu clenched her fists and didn't show any other expression on her face, "Since Jiejie isn't in the mood, ben gong will come to visit later."
"Farewell, Niangniang."
Lady Wen Yu brought her subordinates back to her willow palace in less than ten minutes. When she crossed the threshold, she tripped.
"Niangniang?"
Lady Wen Yu steadied herself, "Ben gong was just frightened by Consort Xian. What, did you think ben gong would care about that man?"
Heye was startled. She hurriedly waved her hand to indicate for the others to leave before speaking, "Niangniang, be careful with your words!"
Lady Wen Yu sat down on the couch and took the tea that Furong offered. She took a sip, "That's right. If he wasn't the ruler of the country, why would the eldest daughter of the Wang Family be so eager to become a concubine? It's broad daylight, pfft — —"
Heye said, "It seems that Consort Wang is anxious. First, she had niangniang offend him and take away Consort Yan and Concubine Qing's right to be assistants. Then, she had Jubilee make that medicine. She's really anxious, isn't she?"
Lady Wen Yu played with her cup, "How can she not be anxious? A woman's intuition has always been sharp. She can feel that that person's thoughts are not with her. Even if she has a child, she can't grasp his heart. "
Furong said doubtfully, "If he's not with Consort Wang, could it be that he's with Consort Yan?"
Lady Wen Yu glanced at her and sneered, "In any case, it's not Consort Wang. Using her beautiful body to keep the person, not the heart. Forget it. Compared to the gentle and dignified Consort Xian today, niangniang won't be able to get out of bed to take care of these palace affairs. Take them away."
Just as Bi Lian was about to leave with a stack of booklets, she was called back. Lady Wen Yu stroked her forehead. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "Calculate the time. After His Majesty leaves, immediately send this stack of papers to her. Since she wants to find something to do, we don't need to be polite with her."
