Chapter 203 I've been holding it in for so long, I really can't bear it anymore
Linglong was lying on the bed with a high fever, and Xin Changzai collapsed to the ground because he could not support himself.
For a moment, Changchun Palace was in a state of bustle.
Concubine Hua had Xin Changzai helped to rest on the couch, while she asked Wei Lin to quickly prescribe a prescription for Linglong to heal.
When it is necessary to use medicine, use medicine; when it is necessary to give acupuncture, give acupuncture.
She also asked Zhou Ninghai to go to the Yangxin Palace to deliver the message to the emperor. Concubine Hua did not believe that the fact that no one was in the Imperial Hospital tonight was a coincidence.
Xin Changzai lay on the couch for a while and then woke up.
Wei Lin was giving acupuncture to Linglong in the inner room.
Concubine Hua didn't expect that Zhou Ninghai would come back so soon.
It turned out that the emperor was not in the Yangxin Palace at all.
It was clearly the Emperor and the Empress who ordered that all palaces were not allowed to travel at will, and even the Emperor was no exception. Now that the epidemic in the palace has just eased, where has the Emperor gone?
"The young eunuch who stayed in the Yangxin Palace said..." Zhou Ninghai hesitated and raised his eyelids to carefully examine Concubine Hua's face, "The emperor went to Zhongcui Palace."
Zhongcui Palace is the Zhongcui Palace where Lingxiang lives.
I've been holding it in for so long, I really can't hold it in anymore.
Concubine Hua sat opposite Concubine Xin and sneered. Listening to Zhou Ninghai's report, Concubine Xin's eyes dimmed for a moment. Linglong had not been valued by the emperor since she was born.
Even if the emperor looked at Linglong a few more times because of Concubine Hua, so what?
Xin Chang didn't feel disappointed in her heart, but she once again faced the facts and felt that life was just like this.
"Why is there no one on duty at the Imperial Hospital tonight? Have you found out?" asked Concubine Hua.
"My Lady, it seems that a concubine in the Tenth Prince's mansion suddenly had an epidemic, so the Tenth Prince invited most of the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to leave."
Concubine Hua felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"What about the remaining imperial physicians?" Hua Fei asked.
"The Empress has been busy managing the six palaces lately. Her headache recurred tonight, so I summoned the remaining imperial physicians to Jingren Palace."
Hua Fei was clutching the corner of the table, thinking about something.
If the Queen wanted to frame the Tenth Prince for ignoring the Emperor and challenging the royal authority, she should have done what she did in her previous life tonight and deliberately hired someone to take care of him while pretending that no imperial physician was available.
Logically speaking, even if the princes and nobles outside and the ministers in the capital invited all the imperial doctors over, the Imperial Medical Service would definitely keep people on duty there.
It wouldn't be like today. It was only because of Linglong's good luck that Zhou Ninghai met Wei Lin in the Imperial Hospital. Wei Lin had left the palace after leaving for duty and happened to return.
This was also the rotation rule of the Imperial Hospital that Wei Lin told him when he came to check his pulse.
It was because of Wei Linduo's words that he finally understood at that time that it was the Queen who deliberately cooperated with the Emperor in the previous life and set up a scheme together, which caused the censors to impeach his brother for his overstepping behavior of inviting all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau to treat his sister-in-law.
In the previous life, it was impossible for my brother to ask all the doctors on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau to leave!
If that’s the case, why did the Tenth Prince do this? The Imperial Hospital is empty. What on earth does the Tenth Prince want to do with such a big move?
Although she couldn't figure out what the Tenth Prince was doing, she was sure that it had nothing to do with her brother. After all, her brother had cut off all contact with him long ago.
For now, we should stabilize Linglong’s condition first.
"Zhou Ninghai, ask Xiaolouzi to go to Zhongcui Palace to invite the emperor and tell him that Linglong is ill."
"Your Majesty, the princess has contracted the plague. Will the emperor be sick?" Zhou Ninghai asked hesitantly.
"So what I said was that Linglong was sick, not that she had an epidemic. Remember to say it in front of Ms. Ling." Concubine Hua emphasized the accuracy of Xiaolouzi's choice of words.
"Yes, I understand." Zhou Ninghai was not afraid that this would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and he went out directly to find Xiaolouzi.
After Zhou Ninghai left, Concubine Qi frowned and said to Concubine Hua: "Concubine Hua, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor~"
Concubine Qi was really worried that the Emperor would vent his anger on Concubine Hua.
"Don't worry, Sister Qi Fei. I was right. The princess is indeed sick." Cui Guo served Hua Fei a cup of tea. After Hua Fei finished speaking, she picked it up and took a sip.
Cuiguo is a good palace maid. After only being to Concubine Qi's Changchun Palace a few times, she already knows how hot her tea is that Concubine Qi likes to drink. Although Concubine Qi is a brainless person, she is blessed.
"Sister, if you are worried that the emperor will be angry and it will affect you, it's still not too late for you to go back to your main palace now." Concubine Hua said sincerely without any Yin-Yang tricks.
"What are you talking about? If I were worried about myself, would I still be here now?"
Concubine Qi was a little angry that Concubine Hua thought she was the kind of person who was good at protecting herself. She had gone to Concubine Hua's palace to eat hot pot before and was not afraid of being criticized by the Queen.
Upon learning that Linglong had contracted an epidemic, she disregarded etiquette and went straight to the gate of Yikun Palace to ask Concubine Hua for help. Throughout all this, Concubine Qi never considered that Linglong might have contracted an epidemic and be contagious.
Just now, when Wei Lin said Linglong was suffering from an epidemic, he was only worried for a moment, and then he put aside his hesitation. Anyway, he had already entered the West Wing Hall, and at most he would just get sick. Anyway, the treatment prescription was available.
As long as Xin Changzai and her daughter are fine, she has fulfilled her duty as the head of the palace.
"Yes, sister Qi Fei is right. I was rude." When Hua Fei saw that Qi Fei was really angry, she realized that her words were inappropriate.
It was all because she and Concubine Qi had so many verbal fights that she spoke in a sarcastic tone as a conditioned reflex.
Concubine Hua sincerely admitted her mistake, and Concubine Qi rolled her eyes, letting her experience the truth on her own.
Xin Changzai just cried and cried, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and she didn't even dare to look at Concubine Qi.
-------------------------------------
The east side hall of Zhongcui Palace.
Ling Xiang changed into the dance costume she wore for the Red Plum Dance that day and was dancing for Yongzheng.
After being confined for a long time, Yongzheng spent the whole day in the Yangxin Palace either reviewing memorials or flying kites. He felt that he had eaten too much vegetarian food and wanted to eat meat.
Tonight, hearing that the Queen had a headache and the epidemic in the palace had been brought under control, she rode in a sedan chair to Zhongcui Palace to find Ling Xiang to have some meat.
Ling Xiang was sweating profusely from dancing, and her seductive eyes were fixed on the emperor.
The emperor stepped forward and picked up Ling Xiang in his arms like a princess and walked towards the inner room. Then he heard Xiao Xiazi knocking on the door three times.
"What's the matter?" The emperor asked impatiently. How dare this servant, Goudan Baotian, disturb him at this time. If it wasn't a big deal, he would definitely punish Xiao Xiazi.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Changchun Palace that Princess Linglong is seriously ill."
Xiao Xiazi was afraid of ruining the emperor's good mood. You know, the emperor came secretly without the queen's knowledge.
The emperor never jokes. If the queen knew about this, he would be afraid that the queen would lecture him for the sake of the overall situation.
If Xiaolouzi hadn't given me so much and hadn't sworn that he was safe, I would never have knocked on this door even if I died.
After hearing this, the emperor really let go of Ling Xiang.
