As soon as he stepped into the hall, Ning Guiren smelled a strong iron smell. The taste was very strong, like a detached horse bumping straight, and then drilled into her nose straight.

Ning Guiren hurriedly took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose, and said in a muffled voice: "Queen, the smell in this palace..."

"That's right, the smell you smell comes from the blood that the official vomited. The official is still conscious now, but he keeps vomiting blood." The queen raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, wiping away the non-existent tears. .

Ning Guiren's eyes were rolling, and she asked: "Empress, have the imperial doctors diagnosed and treated the cause of the official's disease?"

The queen sighed: "The Imperial Hospital is full of drunkards. After a day of diagnosis and treatment for the official, not only the cause of the disease was not found, but also the official's vomiting of blood was not stopped. Seeing the official being tortured by the illness, I was really heartbroken and wished I could I’ve passed it on my own behalf.”

Leng Xiang secretly tugged at the corner of the queen's clothes to signal her not to overact.

"Mother, there are so many imperial doctors gathered inside, and the treatment scene is like a war. Let's visit and leave as soon as possible, so as not to delay the medical treatment by the imperial doctors."

The queen nodded and led Ning Guiren to the back room where the official family was.

The place had been arranged urgently, but due to the sudden incident, the arrangement was a bit hasty, and the palace people used excessive force, causing the scene to be as messy as if someone had just been killed.

Ning Guiren stood at the threshold and looked around. There were imperial doctors holding silver needles, medicine boys carrying decoctions, and little eunuchs carrying copper basins filled with blood... In short, there were people everywhere. There was no place for them to set foot.

As for the official, he was lying quietly on the bed, with a thick layer of pearl powder on his face, which was dazzlingly white, and bright red rouge on the corners of his mouth, which made him look particularly scary. If children see it, they will be frightened and cry.

The situation is urgent, and the official's appearance is relatively rough. In order to prevent exposure, he ordered people to smoke heavy incense and closed the doors and windows tightly, causing the smoke in the room to be hazy, so he could not see clearly.

Coupled with the long distance, the disguise of the official family appeared to Ning Guiren, just like when she was a child when she visited an elder who was dying of tuberculosis. I can't say they are exactly the same, I can only say there is no difference.

The queen's eyelids jumped, and silently opened their eyes. Lengxiang was a little overwhelmed. She remembered that she just told the officials to pretend to be seriously ill. Who would expect that the official house was so serious, and she was out of breath.

"Ahem, vomit." The official spit out a mouthful of sour plum soup and stretched out his hand in the direction of Ning Guiren, "Ning Guiren, ahem, I know, ahem, you care about me the most."

Before Ning Guiren could even smile to acknowledge the official, he heard his erratic voice: "If I drive to the west, ahem, I will take you with me. Ahem, I will let you accompany me."

After that, there was another earth-shattering burst of vomiting. The little eunuch holding the spittoon trembled with his hands and squeezed his eyes tightly, not daring to look.

Ning Guiren looked at the bright red "blood", and his hands began to tremble.

"Ning Guiren." The official called her weakly again.

"Guardian, please take care of yourself and cooperate with the imperial doctors in diagnosis and treatment. I will not go in and disturb you." Ning Guiren quickly interrupted him and backed away.

The Queen coughed at the right time and said to Noble Ning: "The officials are grateful for your childlike heart and love you so much. Please come closer and let the officials take a look."

Ning Guiren shook his head desperately: "No, no, no, I'd better not disturb the official family."

The queen said: "What's the trouble..."

"No, Queen, my stomach suddenly hurts. I have to change my clothes." Ning Guiren covered her stomach, tears almost flowing out.

"Okay then." The queen was stunned for a moment, with a regretful expression on her face, "Then when Concubine De wakes up, you can tell her about Guan Jia's condition."

"Yes, yes, I must inform Empress Dowager De that I have resigned first." After Ning Guiren said this, he left without looking back, as if he was being chased by a wolf, and disappeared in a flash.

"Guan Jia, Ning Guiren has gone far away. You don't have to pretend anymore. Wash off the makeup and powder on your face quickly." The queen walked to Guan Jia and ordered the palace servants to fetch water for him to cleanse his face.

The official stood up and wiped the corners of his mouth casually: "Haha, my acting skills are pretty good, right?"

The queen gave him an angry look: "What's more, it looks like a ghost, with a big white face, which is scary to death. Please wash it off quickly. Ning Guiren has been sent away, and she will report it to Concubine De when she comes back."

The official nodded: "Let's go according to our plan. Then Concubine De will definitely think that my life is not long. When she notifies the mother clan, they will definitely take action." "

The queen nodded, took the handkerchief and wiped it with the official. Her movements were gentle and meticulous, but the official always felt uncomfortable.

"Don't bother the queen, I'll do it myself." The official turned his head unnaturally and avoided the handkerchief in the queen's hand, causing the queen's hand to hang awkwardly in the air.

Lengxiang frowned slightly. She felt that the official family was a bit cold-hearted. The queen was busy doing everything for him, but he disliked the queen's touch.

The queen acted as if nothing was wrong. There was no emotion on her face. She calmly withdrew her hand and said, "The officials should pay more attention to their rest. I have to go and comfort some of my sisters. I will leave now."

"Yeah." The official responded.

"By the way, officials, please make your own arrangements for the palace people here. Remember not to let them reveal your actual situation." The queen reminded.

"I know, I can still handle this little thing." Guan Jia replied calmly, with impatience in his words.

Lengxiang felt that the queen was not worth it. The queen paid so much for the official family, and was even willing to be the shield of the official family. But the official family was so sad that not only did not comfort the slightest, but even too lazy to pretend.

"Empress." Leng Xiang followed the queen step by step. After pondering for a long time, he finally couldn't help but call her.

"Let's go back to the palace." The queen noticed that Leng Xiang wanted to say something to her. In order to avoid being heard by someone with a heart, she explained that she would return to her palace.

Not long after, the two returned to Ciyuan Hall.

The queen forced herself to walk to the bedroom, then exhaled happily, and then sat down on the soft stool and never wanted to get up again. Fatigue hit her like a mountain falling apart, and she wished she could just fall to the ground and never wake up.

Leng Xiang quickly sent the palace people away. She helped the queen lie on the bed, carefully helped the queen undress, and took a hot handkerchief to apply on her face.

"Your Majesty, I will give you a beating on your legs. You have been revising the memorial in Funing Hall for a long time. Are you tired?" Leng Xiang asked with a distressed look on his face.

The queen responded in a low voice: "I'm really tired today."

"Empress, I don't know whether I should say something or not." Leng Xiang saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. She has been serving the Queen since she was a little baby learning to talk, and has been serving her until now. Lengxiang really took care of the queen as her own relative and couldn't bear to see her being wronged.

The queen removed the hot veil, opened her eyes and looked at Leng Xiang. Now that there are only two of them facing each other, they no longer call themselves "this palace". She said: "I think you have something to say to me a long time ago. What do you want to say? It's so mysterious. It has to be just the two of us." Only when you are human can you speak out.”

Lengxiang bit her lip and made up her mind: "Mother, what do you think of the official family's treatment of you?"
