Chapter 83 Deliberately Making Things Difficult
When Lu Jinxuan heard the Queen's call and turned around, she saw the Queen glaring at her with displeasure on her face.
She asked nervously, "Aunt Queen?"
Lu Jinxuan was watching intently just now and didn't hear what the Queen said at all.
The queen saw her come back to her senses and frowned: "What are you looking at so intently?"
Lu Jinxuan pointed to the distance and said, "Aunt, who do you think that is?"
She knew that the Queen didn't like Shen Jingxuan and continued, "Aunt, do you think Shen Jingxuan and the Regent are more compatible than she is with her cousin?"
"A good match? Is Shen Jingxuan a good match too? Let's go and take a look." The queen looked at the figure disappearing in front of her and chased after it.
The corners of Lu Jinxuan's mouth curled up. She just couldn't believe that even with the Queen Aunt around, she couldn't cure a little Shen Jingxuan?
In the imperial study, Eunuch Deng stood at the bottom, looking up at the emperor: "Your Majesty, the regent just entered the palace."
The emperor rubbed his forehead tiredly: "Let him in."
It was an hour later when he woke up from fainting yesterday. Lying on the couch, the figure of Concubine Wan kept appearing in front of his eyes.
He had to get up and do something else to calm himself down, but he sat there for the whole night.
Eunuch Deng lowered his head in fear: "Your Majesty, the prince, he didn't come to the imperial study."
The emperor stared at him with a pair of scarlet eyes: "He didn't come? Where did he go?"
"Yes, I went to the Queen Mother."
"Let's go to the Empress Dowager's palace," the emperor suddenly stood up and walked quickly out of the palace.
That morning, all the palaces were quiet except for the Queen Mother's palace, which was bustling with activity.
Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan had just entered the palace, and were followed by the Queen and Lu Jinxuan.
Before everyone had time to stand up after paying their respects, the eunuch's announcement came right after: "The Emperor has arrived..."
The group of people just stood up halfway, and then they lowered their bodies again: "Your Highness..."
The emperor strode in: "Everyone, get up."
"Royal brother, is there anything you need to enter the palace today?"
Xie Lingxiao frowned at the tone of questioning, which seemed to be asking, "Your humble servant brought someone to see the Queen Mother."
The Queen taunted, "See a doctor? Your Highness, are you saying that you are taking Shen Jingxuan to see the Queen?"
"Does the Queen have any objections?" Xie Lingxiao's cold voice sounded.
Looking at everyone jumping around in front of him, Xie Lingxiao felt a little annoyed and didn't want to pretend to be nice to them.
The queen shivered suddenly as if a basin of ice water had been poured all over her body.
In her anxiety, she completely forgot that Xie Lingxiao was no one else but the Regent.
Although she was the queen of a country, she was still afraid of him because he was decisive and ruthless.
The Queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have no objection, I just find it strange."
"Everyone in the capital knows that Shen Jingxuan is a mentally retarded girl. How could she know medical skills?"
"Besides, how dare we let the Queen Mother treat her?"
Xie Lingxiao said unhappily: "If she can't do it, can you?"
The queen's face turned red instantly. The regent actually spoke about her in front of so many people without caring about her status as the queen at all.
"Your Majesty, you see, Shen Jingxuan was a foolish girl before. How could she know medical skills? Your Majesty has been deceived by her."
"You should try to persuade him. The Queen Mother is a noble lady. How dare she allow anyone to see a doctor?" The Queen pulled the Emperor's arm and shook it.
The queen refused to give up and pestered the emperor, seeking his help.
Lu Jinxuan was very happy when she saw Shen Jingxuan being laughed at. She felt that she could finally let the Regent see Shen Jingxuan's true face.
She glanced at Xie Lingxiao, then turned to look at the Queen: "Aunt, Miss Shen has been stupid for so many years, and I never knew she knew medical skills."
The emperor didn't get any rest last night, and after hearing this, he felt a headache: "Okay, stop arguing."
He looked at Shen Jingxuan: "Miss Shen really knows medical skills?"
Shen Jingxuan looked at them and said calmly: "I know a little bit."
The Queen laughed and said, "Your Majesty, she only knows a little bit. How dare you ask her to treat you? What if she can't cure you? What shall we do then?"
Lu Jinxuan also became proud: "That's right, the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless, how can a foolish girl like you possibly cure it?"
At this time, Xie Lingxiao was already irritated by several people calling her a lunatic.
He was reluctant to say a word about the woman he loved, but was slandered by these shameless people.
Xie Lingxiao took a step forward angrily, but before he could say anything, his sleeve was pulled.
He turned around and looked at Shen Jingxuan who was pulling his sleeve, and his expression changed instantly, no longer the ferocious look he had just had.
Shen Jingxuan shook her head at him and looked at the Queen and Lu Jinxuan: "If you don't believe in my medical skills, then you can find someone else."
Lu Jinxuan's eyes were vicious as she looked at Shen Jingxuan's hand that was pulling her sleeve, wishing she could chop it off immediately.
She tried to calm down: "Shen Jingxuan, when did you learn medical skills?"
"You have always been stupid. You are not going to say that you have only been learning for a short time?"
Shen Jingxuan looked at her indifferently: "Miss Lu, do I need your permission to know medical skills?"
"you"
Lu Jinxuan was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she had nothing to refute.
She came to the Queen and said, "Aunt, I bet Miss Shen can't cure the Queen Mother. Why don't you let her treat her? If she can't, then she can't treat anyone in the future."
Shen Jingxuan looked at Lu Jinxuan coldly. She didn't expect that a woman could be so bad.
As a doctor, she is asked to not treat patients for her entire life. Does she have to watch patients die without saving them?
The Prime Minister's Mansion could actually produce such a vicious person. I guess the other people in the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be any better.
Shen Jingxuan tugged at her sleeve again: "Xie Lingxiao, let's go. Miss Lu doesn't want me to treat the Queen Mother."
"Okay." Xie Lingxiao responded.
Shen Jingxuan lowered her body and saluted to the emperor and the queen: "Your Majesty, Queen, I am not an expert in medicine. Please ask Miss Lu to find someone with excellent medical skills to treat the Queen Mother."
After she finished speaking, she walked out of the hall. Xie Lingxiao followed her and after a few steps, he suddenly stopped, not knowing what he was thinking of.
He turned around and looked at the queen: "The queen is also from the Prime Minister's Mansion, right? I didn't expect that the woman from the Prime Minister's Mansion would have such a vicious mind."
"If this is the case for an unmarried woman, then how many corpses did the queen step on to climb to the top after going through the struggles in the harem?"
The emperor already knew that the competition for favor in the harem was fierce, but when Xie Lingxiao told him about it, he began to become suspicious of the queen.
"I did not, Your Majesty. The Regent slandered me." After saying that, she started crying.
The emperor looked at the queen angrily and said, "Shut up."
Thinking of how the queen was always considerate and kind to everyone, sometimes when he punished his servants he would persuade himself and plead for them.
If it was true as the Regent said, then her thoughts must be very deep, and there was no telling how many things she was hiding from him.
Was it the Queen's plan last night? Was the person who lured him to Concubine Wan's palace the Queen's man?
