Chapter 39: Eavesdropping Openly
Chapter 39: Eavesdropping Openly
Although the matter of Fanghua Palace inviting the imperial physician was not publicized, it could not be hidden from others.
After paying respects at Kunning Palace in the morning, Wan Changzai waved the beauty fan in his hand, walked leisurely with lotus steps, and went to Chenglu Palace.
When she successfully met with Li Changzai, Empress Ye, who was playing chess in Kunning Palace, looked at Aunt Ginkgo with suspicion.
"what happened?"
Aunt Ginkgo shook her head repeatedly, "I can be sure that there is absolutely no problem with that cup of golden pumpkin tribute tea." Aunt Ginkgo thought about it carefully and nodded with certainty, "From taking the tea to serving the tea, all the processes were completed by me alone."
As she spoke, Aunt Ginkgo's eyes suddenly froze, and she looked at Queen Ye with a little hesitation.
Queen Ye frowned, "Just tell me what you want to say. Considering the favor the emperor has shown her now, I'm afraid he will ask a few questions."
If it really has something to do with her Kunning Palace, she should think of a countermeasure in advance.
Unlike Queen Ye who was calm and composed, Aunt Ginkgo poured her a cup of tea with some embarrassment.
"The cup of golden pumpkin tribute tea that I made for Lady Shu was the old tea that you didn't finish using last year. When I took it out, it had already gone bad..."
Could it be that Lady Nashu is so delicate that she can't even drink a cup of spoiled tea?
When Aunt Ginkgo was complaining in her heart, Queen Ye paused for a moment.
"Old tea?" Queen Ye picked up a black piece and asked casually, "When did I ever have old tea?"
After saying that, the black chess piece held by Queen Ye fell steadily on the chessboard. For a moment, the situation on the chessboard changed rapidly, and the black and white pieces were entangled with each other, difficult to separate.
Hearing her say this, Aunt Ginkgo smiled as well.
"You are such a noble person, Madam. Not to mention the small tea leaves, even the tea water for daily tea making is collected from the morning dew of hundreds of flowers. It is the greatest blessing of Shu's life for Concubine Shu to drink a cup of tea from our Kunning Palace..."
When Aunt Ginkgo was praising Queen Ye, she had no idea that Shen Qingtang had already heard everything they said.
Listen to me and say thank you, it’s my blessing to have you!
hetui~
Who did she think Shen Qingtang was? She didn't care!
It is hard to say what happened, but ever since Shen Qingtang followed Emperor Yuji and Concubine Zhengui back to the palace, she became blind again. Wherever she looked, everything was white and she could not see anything.
In addition to being able to sense that she was floating beside Emperor Yu Ji, he could also hear some conversations that were sometimes far away and sometimes near.
Like Queen Ye and Aunt Ginkgo, and also——
"I'm afraid that even if you go, Sister Li, the Emperor won't be able to even look at you."
Chenglu Hall, where Wensi resides.
Wan Changzai gently shook the handle of the fan in her hand. Her smiling eyes were full of sarcasm and ridicule in Li Changzai's eyes.
"Hmph~ So what?" Li Changzai snorted coldly, "I am not like you. You are someone who has never slept with me before, so what qualifications do you have to point fingers at me?"
Li Chang's words were extremely impolite.
But even so, Wan Changzai still had a normal expression, with a curved pink lips, and her seemingly clear and bright deer eyes were filled with malice.
"Sister Li is not as 'favored' by the Emperor as Sister Li is, but sister is very curious. If Lady Ruoshu knew what happened during the palace selection that day -"
“Shut up!” Li Changzai quickly covered Wan Changzai’s mouth and said angrily: “Don’t forget that you also had a part in this matter! If it weren’t for your malicious instigation—”
Looking at Li Changzai's eyes full of disgust, Wan Changzai lightly covered her pink lips with the fan, and a sneering sound came from behind the fan.
"Isn't it because of jealousy?"
……
It was indeed her. Listening to the voices of Li Changzai and the other person, Shen Qingtang thought that the case had been solved.
She thought that the person who caused her to lose her manners in the palace might be Li Changzai, but she never thought that Wan Changzai would also be involved.
Shen Qingtang was just thinking about this when the familiar feeling of being pulled away from Emperor Yu Ji again, and in an instant she arrived at her own territory, Fanghua Palace.
Inside the Fanghua Palace, the strong bitter smell of traditional Chinese medicine filled the air.
When the sound of soft footsteps reached her ears, Shen Qingtang saw Concubine Liang, with her hair tied up high and wearing a Tianshui blue palace dress, slowly appearing in her bedroom accompanied by Fu'an.
Except for the imperial physician who was trying hard to make her head into a hedgehog, Amber, Anlan and the others hurriedly saluted after seeing Concubine Liang.
"May your Majesty the Concubine Liang be well and safe."
"Is your young master feeling better now?"
"To reply to Madam Liang, after being treated by Imperial Doctor Zhang, the young lady's temperature has subsided, but..." Amber hesitated for a moment and said worriedly, "The young lady's illness came suddenly, and I'm afraid it will relapse in the afternoon."
However, the most crucial thing is that her young lady is now in a coma and she is afraid that she cannot be fed medicine. How can the illness be cured then?
Concubine Liang walked closer to the bed, took a closer look at Shen Qingtang who was still unconscious, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"It was cold and rainy last night, and your young master was already weak and frail. I'm afraid the rain caused her to have a sudden high fever and fall into a coma."
Amber was the only person who took care of Shen Qingtang throughout the whole process in the palace. While taking the bowl of medicine of suitable temperature from Shi Liu, she told Concubine Yu Liang and Shi Liu about the results of Doctor Zhang's diagnosis.
"Imperial Doctor Zhang said that the young lady's mind was damaged and she was overworked, which caused her to have a sudden high fever." Amber was confused.
She would rather believe that she was not good at medicine than believe Doctor Zhang's diagnosis.
Not only Amber, but even Pomegranate and the others didn't believe it.
The young lady is always optimistic and positive, how could she be mentally damaged and injured from overwork?
They didn't understand, but Shen Qingtang herself remained silent. She floated to the bed and quietly looked at herself lying on the bed.
The person on the bed had a slender figure and square feet, soft and plump skin, and black hair that fell around her like a waterfall. Although she was in a deep coma, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.
But she——
Shen Qingtang stretched out her hand and tried to wipe away the anxiety and sadness between her eyebrows, but as soon as her fingers touched it, a strong attraction suddenly came from the center of the eyebrows of this body, and she was caught off guard and her entire soul was stuffed into the body in an instant.
"…Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine, the young lady's fever has subsided. I believe that after receiving acupuncture from Imperial Doctor Zhang, she will wake up soon."
Not long after Shen Qingtang was inserted into the body, he heard An Lan's voice, accompanied by faint footsteps.
Emperor Yuji is here.
Shen Qingtang was thinking in his mind, when Emperor Yuji entered the bedroom he saw Concubine Liang at first sight.
Emperor Yuji paused for a moment, "Liang Fei, why are you here?"
I didn't expect to meet Emperor Yu Ji's concubine at this time. I subconsciously looked at Shen Qingtang who was unconscious on the bed. The momentary loss was replaced by endless affection in the blink of an eye.
"Yier said that Concubine Shu suddenly had a fever. I was worried and came to see her. Fortunately, the fever has subsided. I think she will wake up in a while."
As soon as Concubine Liang finished speaking, the delicate and confused moans of a young girl were heard from the bed.
"What's wrong with me?"
