Chapter 168 - Trembling
"Concubine Qin vomited blood? Is it serious? " Consort Shu asked the palace maids beside him as she hurried over.
The palace maid quickly replied: "Just now, this servant had only heard rumors, but I don't know if it was true or false."
When Consort Shu arrived at the main hall, Xi Hua had already gone to boil some medicine, leaving no one in the room. Vaguely, he heard the sound of rapid breathing coming from Concubine Qin's room.
"Sister, are you alright?" Consort Shu was shocked when she saw the fresh blood on the ground. A person who vomited blood would definitely be severely ill, how could he have reached such a state in just a few days?
Qin Luofei looked up, and when she saw that it was Consort Shu, she said slowly: "Big Sister Consort Shu, why are you here? I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me
"
The reason why Qin Luofei's Huishang Hall was so cold and desolate was because of the fact that the Princess Tranquil had passed away due to illness.
Other than Daihua who was by her side taking care of her, no one else was willing to go near Huishang Hall.
Consort Shu was her greatest reliance in the palace. She could not drag Consort Shu down as well, as she wanted to give those people a reason to frame Consort Shu.
"Little sister, you're already vomiting blood. How could it be like this? "
When Consort Shu saw Qin Luofeng's withered face, which was not the same color as before, his heart ached greatly. He immediately called for the imperial physician to give her a diagnosis.
Because of her anger, Qin Luofei vomited blood. This hatred had already deep into her bones. Once her body recovered, she would definitely find out the real culprit who killed Princess Tranquil.
Qin Luofei no longer refused, she lightly nodded and said: "I'll be troubling Big Sister Consort Shu."
After the imperial physician's diagnosis, he gave Qin Luofei a few pieces of medicine that could replenish Qi and nourish her blood.
Qin Luofei called for Flower Blossom to inspect carefully. Ever since Princess Tranquil was suddenly poisoned, she had carefully checked all the medicines that the imperial doctors had prescribed.
"Little sister, how did Princess Tranquil get the disease that day?" Consort Shu had always been curious about this matter, and the occasional chill wouldn't cause him to fall unconscious.
"Big sister Consort Shu, it's great that you're here today. I have something to ask you. Which palace maid were you instructing when you delivered the tonic that day? " Qin Luofei suspected that it was due to those tonics.
"Yun Er, come here." Consort Shu was startled, and immediately called Yun Er over.
Ever since Yun Er found out that Princess Tranquil was sick, she suspected what happened that day. Seeing Consort Shu calling her, her entire body shook like a sieve.
"That day, this servant sent some tonics to Concubine Qin. On the way here, I met Imperial Consort Leng, and she even picked up some tonics to look at them before asking this servant to send them over."
"I knew it was related to this woman." Qin Luofei gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"Little sister, the imperial physician said you can't get angry. It's not too late to heal your body first." Now that there is no news of Princess Tranquil and the Emperor has announced his death, the only way to find the Princess Tranquil is to rely on himself. " Consort Shu hated Imperial Consort Leng so much that her teeth itched with hate. She dared to lay a hand on the medicine she gave her, which was why she let Qin Luofan fall for it. In the end, she was still connected to the little princess' accident.
"Thank you elder sister. I will definitely take good care of my body and not let those people laugh at me for nothing." "It's just that, I wonder how Sister Luo's health is going these days?" Ever since something happened to the Princess Tranquil, Qin Luofei had not had the time to pay attention to Luo Ziyan's condition.
Speaking of Luo Ziyan, Consort Shu couldn't help but sigh.
"Sister Luo is not in good health. She's already taken many drugs, but they're still useless."
Qin Luofei pondered for a moment, and said: "Although the Princess Tranquil is framed, the Southern Barbaric Divine Doctor outside the palace is indeed a genius doctor. Why not let him enter the palace to treat Sister Luo? "
The Consort Shu opened her eyes slightly and said, "Your idea is not bad, but the Emperor doesn't know if he will allow them to enter the palace. You should also know that even if you had an additional palace maid or eunuch, Emperor Ming would still have to be cautious. "
Qin Luofei obviously knew that Emperor Ming was worried that the missing Emperor Yun would send spies to infiltrate the palace. Otherwise, how could they act with such caution?
"However, Sister Luo's illness cannot be delayed. Since she's healed, we can help out in the palace. Why don't you let me be the bad guy instead?" Luo Ziyan had always been good to her, so she couldn't just sit by and watch her good sister continue like this.
The Consort Shu's position in the palace was on equal footing with the Imperial Consort Leng, so if she wanted the Southern Barbaric Divine Doctor to enter the palace and help cure concubine Luo's illness, she could only rely on her.
Under Qin Luofei's suggestion, the Consort Shu deliberately bumped into the Emperor Ming in the imperial garden.
The Consort Shu was dressed up beautifully today. She was dressed in a thin cicada wings made of clouds, and her beautiful body was wrapped around.
"Greetings, your majesty. The weather is very good today. I didn't expect to meet your majesty here. It's really chenqie's fortune."
Emperor Ming had always favored Concubine Qin and Imperial Consort Leng, and had not seen them for a few days already.
"Love Consort, please rise." Emperor Ming's eyes scanned across Consort Shu's coquettish face and finally stopped on a peach tree not far from the imperial garden.
"Is there something on your mind, Your Majesty?" Could you tell Chenqie? " Consort Shu stepped forward and said softly.
Emperor Ming turned around and held onto Consort Shu's jade fingers, and said gently: "Consort Shu, the palace's talent selection is around the corner, but Imperial Consort Leng is currently pregnant, I think you should take more responsibility for this matter."
"Chenqie is naturally duty-bound to do so and will select the appropriate women as soon as possible to fill the harem. Your Majesty, don't worry! " Consort Shu snuggled into Emperor Ming's embrace.
"Love Consort still dotes on me." Emperor Ming had a face full of tender love.
"There aren't many concubines left in the imperial harem these days. In addition, there are some concubines that can't sleep with the emperor due to their unwell conditions, so this concubine naturally cares about them."
"Love Consort, which one of you is unwell and unable to serve?" The scene of Concubine Qin spitting out blood suddenly appeared in Emperor Ming's mind.
The Consort Shu took the opportunity to say: "Isn't it Sister Luo? Your body has been in a state of unrest the entire time. The imperial physicians have been prescribing medicine for a long time already, but they haven't gotten any better. The Emperor is also aware of the many rumors circulating around the palace. If something were to go wrong with concubine Luo, the consequences would be even worse. "
The Princess Tranquil had passed away, the Concubine Qin had vomited blood, and concubine Luo was currently bedridden. He had only recovered from his injuries for a short while, but he did not expect to receive such grievous news from the imperial harem.
Emperor Ming thought for a while, "It looks like the imperial physicians in the palace have to increase as well. You will be in charge of handling this matter in the Consort Shu. Pick a few imperial physicians with exceptional medical skills and enter the palace to treat concubine Luo's illness. " Considering that Luo Ziyan had once served him before, he could not bear to see her sick and bedridden, so there were very few concubines in the palace.
"Chenqie will arrange it as soon as possible." The corners of Consort Shu's mouth raised, it seems like Concubine Qin has some understanding towards Emperor Ming. His times were good and bad, making it hard for others to fathom him. Consort Shu was sweating on behalf of concubine Luo.
Accompanying a monarch like a tiger, especially the reattached Emperor Ming, his thoughts and emotions were all unpredictable.
When the Consort Shu told Qin Luofei about this, Qin Luofei was happy for Sister Luo. As long as her health improved and she regained her former beauty, she believed that the Emperor would still favor her.
The Southern Barbaric Divine Doctor Lin He quickly received the Consort Shu's bestowment and was in a hurry to summon the Divine Doctor to the palace to treat the concubine.
"The chance has come." Leng Mu smiled at Lin He.
Lin He said: "We've waited for a few months and we haven't wasted our time. I just wonder which imperial concubine will fall ill, for the emperor to be in such a hurry?"
Hopefully, it won't be her, Leng Mu thought with some misgivings in his heart. There had been no news since she entered the palace. The palace was heavily guarded after the Emperor Ming s were restored, so it was difficult to obtain information from the palace. Now, he could finally obtain his wish and enter the palace to stay for a long period of time.
Under the guidance of a palace maid, Lin He and Leng Mu headed towards the Dancing Fragrance Palace. Leng Mu who was following behind Lin He looked around, and then returned here, but unfortunately with such an identity.
"The Emperor has arrived." His father-in-law's shout came from a short distance in front of him.
Before he could even enter the palace and meet the Consort Shu, he had already met the Emperor Ming.
Leng Mu lowered his head, he did not want to cause trouble and hurt himself.
Although he had changed his face, the look in his eyes couldn't be changed. Emperor Ming was an extremely shrewd person, if he discovered that the plan was strange, all of his plans would be for naught.
When Emperor Ming walked past, everyone kneeled down. Lin He and Leng Mu's attire was not that of palace servants, it was rather conspicuous and was quickly discovered by the Emperor Ming.
When he walked to Leng Mu's side, Emperor Ming suddenly stopped.
"Why did these two people enter the palace when they're not from the palace?"
Leng Mu kept his head down. If Emperor Ming saw this face, it would be unknown if he saw anything fishy.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, these two are the imperial physicians the Empress of Consort Shu has invited to the palace, and are in charge of the medicine for the imperial concubines in the imperial harem." The palace maid trembled as he replied.
"Two royal doctors? Raise your heads for me. " Emperor Ming's expression was indifferent, with a stern look in his eyes.
He was extremely cautious at the moment. Any signs of trouble within the palace made him as timid as a cicada. After being usurped once, he had to be on his guard.
Lin He raised his head, with a solemn look on his face.
"This commoner pays his respects to the Emperor."
Emperor Ming's pupils became misty, sweeping across Lin He's body. Seeing his loyal appearance, there shouldn't be any problems.
Emperor Ming guessed in his mind as he kept rubbing his hands behind his back. His gaze landed on Leng Mu again, and saw his back figure from the first glance, which seemed very familiar.
"Why didn't you look up?" The Emperor Ming said in a stern voice.
Leng Mu had no choice but to raise his head. His heart still palpitated in fear, afraid that Emperor Ming would notice something and bring it here.
"Your Majesty … "Jin An." Leng Mu was trembling in fear, the ingratiating smile on his face seemed extremely stiff.
Emperor Ming stood high above as he coldly looked at Leng Mu who was kneeling on the ground the entire time.
"What's your name?"
Leng Mu looked as if he had been scared silly, the young eunuch beside Dao gave him a push, and he then stammered. Human Leng Mu greets the Emperor. "
Seeing his silly look, the Emperor Ming's face relaxed. "Get up!"
"Thank you, your majesty." Leng Mu scrambled to his feet, causing Emperor Ming to unconsciously frown.
How could such a useless person be him? Emperor Ming finally let go of his guard and left.
Lin He turned his head back from time to time, and after seeing Emperor Ming leave, he quickly got up and helped Leng Mu up.
"Are you okay?" Lin He supported Leng Mu up with an aching heart.
Leng Mu looked at Lin He with a meaningful gaze. In the palace, he was his disciple, so if others saw his actions, they would definitely suspect him.
"Let's go, to the Dancing Fragrance Palace." Leng Mu said.
Leng Mu had a certain understanding of the harem, as long as it was not dealing with Imperial Consort Leng s. nodded his head, just now he had helped Leng Mu pinch his sweat, but he did not expect Leng Mu to actually be able to endure it, which was beyond his expectations.
