Chapter 421： Give magic medicine

At this time, Concubine Lu Xian has given birth to the emperor's eldest son, and it is useless for Concubine Shu to jump around again.

Even if she gave birth to a prince, he would only be the second son. If she wanted to surpass the eldest son, she would either be crowned queen and make her son the legitimate son, or kill the eldest son, then her child might be the eldest son.

When Ying Bao thought of this, he felt that he should not get involved with Concubine Shu.

The Lu family is also a big family in the capital. Concubine Lu Xian's father was the prime minister of the dynasty and one of the founding heroes of the Zhou Dynasty. It was only because of her own brain that she became a competitor of the Lu family.

"Jiang Yingbao! You are so presumptuous!" The **** pointed at Yingbao with a fierce look on his face and said, "Our family has ordered you to come to the palace to pay homage to Concubine Shu! Do you dare to disobey the empress? Don't you want to live?"

"Who do you think doesn't want to live?" Jiang Wu came out of the room and asked with a cold face: "You are so outrageous in falsely spreading the imperial edict, don't even the Holy One put you in the eyes?"

The **** suddenly became speechless, threw down his sleeves, and said fiercely: "Well done! Jiang, please wait! We will report back to the empress and punish your whole family!"

After saying that, he turned around and left the Jiang family. The two of them boarded a palace car and drove away quickly.

Yingbao watched the palace car go away, feeling a little uneasy.

This Concubine Yao Shu is really haunted, asking her again and again what she wants to do?

Jiang Wu took his sister back to the house and said, "Sister, it's definitely not good for Concubine Shu to ask you to come into the palace at this time. You are right not to go."

In a few days, the emperor's eldest son's full moon banquet will be held. The emperor will invite courtiers and ladies to the palace for a banquet. If something goes wrong before then, it will really stir up a hornet's nest.

If nothing else, let’s just say that Concubine Shu is about to give birth. If she meets an outsider at this time, if there is an unexpected miscarriage or something else, she will definitely be involved.

How will the Holy Father deal with the Jiang family in order to quell the anger of the Yao family? I really can’t even think about it.

“I know.” This is not a conspiracy theory between Ying Bao and his younger brother. In fact, the situation in the new dynasty is still in an unstable period.

Many aristocratic families seemed to submit to the new dynasty, but in fact they were always eyeing it.

Those people may have thought that since Zhou Wuchang could be the emperor, so could they.

This is probably the reason why Zhou Wuchang accepted so many concubines but did not establish a queen.

Once a queen is established, other aristocratic families will be unconvinced and will be ready to take action in secret.

After a day of absence, everyone felt that there was hope for their daughter, so they temporarily suppressed their thoughts.

After all, if you can fight without bloodshed, who would want to fight through mountains and seas of fire?

The next day, Jiang Wu and Mr. Wu went to court together.

They are both fifth-rank officials and can enter the main hall to meet the emperor.

It's just that the place where the two of them stand can only be behind those first, second, third and fourth grade officials.

Unexpectedly, not long after he came to court, someone impeached him, saying that he was disrespectful and lawless.

Jiang Wu was speechless and remembered the person who impeached him in his heart.

Officials who were impeached also had the opportunity to plead their case, so after Jiang Wu returned home from the court, he wrote a large statement of apology. He wrote down in the book everything about the person who came to the palace that day and pretended to preach the imperial edict.

As for other officials, they may be wary of losing the emperor's face. After all, the person who falsely conveyed the imperial edict was his concubine.

But Jiang Wu didn't care. He wrote down every word what those people said on the paper and presented it to the emperor.

Fortunately, Zhou Wuchang paid close attention to this matter. He asked the prime minister for Jiang Wu's statement and took a rough look at it.

After reading it, Zhou Wuchang's face turned dark, and he immediately stood up to find Concubine Yao Shu.

Concubine Yao Shu was due to give birth in more than a month. At this time, her body was heavy and she was still a little confused when she was ordered to kneel down: "Your Majesty, what did I do wrong?"

Zhou Wuchang put his hands behind his back and asked, "What do you want to do after you have repeatedly falsely conveyed my will?" Concubine Yao Shu was stunned, "I don't have one."

Zhou Wuchang threw the folded book on her face: "Look carefully, is there any falsehood?"

Yao Shufei shook her head and picked it up, looked at it carefully, and broke into a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, I just want to invite Jiang Yingbao to the palace to check for a pulse. I have no other intention, and I have no false edict."

Zhou Wuchang snorted coldly: "The imperial physician of the imperial hospital is responsible for diagnosing your pulse. Why do you want to find a little girl to enter the palace? What? Do you think that my imperial physicians are all a bunch of trash?"

"No, I don't mean that." Concubine Shu covered her face and cried bitterly.

Zhou Wuchang glanced at her coldly: "I have warned you once that you are not allowed to bring people into the palace at will without the arrangement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Do you think that my palace is the back garden of your Yao family, and you can invite whoever you want to come in? Yes? Have you ignored my words?"

“I know I was wrong, woo woo woo woo”

Zhou Wuchang remained unmoved. He walked to the entrance of the palace with his hands behind his back, looked at the palace servants kneeling at the steps of the main hall, and asked coldly: "Who came out of the palace that day to pretend to preach the imperial edict? Stand up!"

The two palace servants shook their heads and crawled out of the crowd, kowtowing: "This slave is following the order of Concubine Shu."

Zhou Wuchang: "Pull out and kill with a stick!"

Several guards came over, picked up the two palace men, and dragged them outside the palace courtyard.

“Your Majesty, spare your life. Your Majesty, spare your life”

The two eunuchs kept begging for mercy, but were quickly silenced.

A crackling sound of sticks entered the hall, and Concubine Yao Shu rolled her eyes and fainted.

The palace people did not dare to come forward to help her. It was not until Zhou Wuchang spoke that they put Concubine Shu on the bed and called the imperial doctor in.

That night, Concubine Yao Shu gave birth to a baby girl. Because she was less than a month old, her body was only longer than an adult's hand. Her skin was red and wrinkled, and her cry was as weak as a cat's.

Physician Wen had no choice but to tell the truth to the emperor: "The baby is less than a month old and all the internal organs are weak. He may not be able to survive."

Concubine Yao Shu was frightened and her life was hanging by a thread.

"Take this and feed it to her mother and her son." Zhou Wuchang took out two pills wrapped in wax shells from the secret grid and handed them to Dr. Wen.

Wen Jingyan took the pill, opened it, and felt a fresh fragrance coming to his face. The fragrance was very familiar.

He did not dare to hesitate and fed one pill to Concubine Yao Shu, and the other turned into water and fed it to the baby. Finally, the mother and daughter were safe and sound.

  The news that Concubine Yao Shu was frightened and gave birth prematurely reached the Yao family, and everyone in the Yao family was very angry. Especially Yao Qian, who served as Zhongshu's minister, immediately slammed the table and scolded the emperor for being unkind and careless, crossing the river and destroying the bridge.

But when he learned that his daughter and granddaughter were saved by the magic medicine given by the emperor, he calmed down and secretly asked where the magic medicine came from.

As a result, people around the emperor said that the Holy One could summon the gods, and that the magic medicine was the life-saving spiritual treasure given to the emperor by the gods. They also said that the magic medicine could not only save lives, but also prolong life.

Now the Yao family was shocked, and the 72-year-old old prince of the Yao family was even more eager for the magic medicine.

The ancients said that if you are seventy-three or eighty-four, the King of Hell will not invite you to go. These two years are a big hurdle in life. If you can get over it, you can live. If you can't get over it, you will die.

Old man Yao wants to be strong in his life, but he is very afraid of death.

 Seeing that he is about to reach the milestone of seventy-three years old, the old man is very nervous every day and does not allow his family to mention his age, let alone his birthday.

When it came to his ears that the emperor had a miracle medicine in his hand, the gray-haired old man couldn't wait to run into the palace and ask for one from the emperor.
