Counting the days, Yujia has already arrived at Mount Tai.

The fast-paced messenger brought the news of Taishan into the palace.

The life of the concubine is boring, the emperor's absence doesn't even have the chance to invite pets, so everyone keeps quiet, but as soon as the news came, everyone gathered in Fengci Palace.

As the highest-ranking concubine, the noble concubine read aloud to the queen mother herself.

"...The sun is clear, and Zen is enshrined on the top of Mount Tai. Once everything goes well, we will return soon..."

The Empress Dowager sat on the warm couch with a smile, and she was even more relieved when she heard the words, "It's good if it goes well."

Concubine Xian congratulated her and said: "This is a matter of following God's will. How can there be twists and turns? The emperor is the son of heaven. After announcing it to the world, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe. The weather will be smooth, and we will be rewarded."

"Sister Xianfei said that the concubine is only looking forward to the early return of the emperor. I haven't seen you for such a long time, but I really miss it."

The Empress Dowager nodded again and again, and then asked, "What time can the Emperor say that he will be able to return to Beijing?"

The noble concubine flipped through the letter again, "Ah, I found it. Look, Empress Dowager, it says here that Feng Chan will leave for Beijing three days later. Counting the days, I estimate that we will arrive in another month."

That succulent pointed to the handwriting somewhere for the Queen Mother to watch.

"Taishan is only two months away from the capital, so I finally have something to look forward to." Concubine Xian also came up to have a look, and flatteringly went around behind the Queen Mother and bowed her back.

The Empress Dowager's old eyes are dim, and she can't look carefully, but this can't disturb her old man's good mood, so she patted Concubine Xian's hand, "You are all good."

While chatting and laughing, I heard a concubine ask: "Hey, why don't you see Princess Jing'an?"

Princess Jing'an has always been raised by the Empress Dowager, and there were rumors that she would marry into Prince Rui's Mansion, but so far there has been no decree or decree from the Empress Dowager, which is also puzzling.

"Her, isn't Concubine Shu ill? She usually walks close, so I went to have a look." Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help asking the concubine, "How long has Concubine Shu been ill? I’m coming back soon, but I’m still not recovering? How did the imperial physician heal me?”

"This..." The imperial concubine was embarrassed, so she had to plead guilty, "The queen mother, the body of the concubine Shu's body, the emperor repeatedly asked to be treated properly before leaving, and the concubines dare not take it lightly. Every time there is any illness in Yijing Palace, even if In the middle of the night, the imperial concubine also sent the imperial physician over for diagnosis and treatment. I was afraid that the imperial physician would ask the imperial physician to ask for pulse every now and then. But for some reason, she said that she was cured, she was cured, and she could still meet her sister in the imperial garden to chat, but not long after. The sky is falling again."

Concubine Xian said leisurely: "That's really strange. The concubine visited Xianfei's sister a few days ago, and I heard that she just got a cold, and it will be cured after taking a few doses of medicine. My sister was in good health before, but I don't know Have you been weak recently?"

The noble concubine glared at the concubine Xian fiercely, "Sister Xian concubine, I don't understand what you said. The emperor entrusted the harem to me, so I will naturally do my best. Sister Concubine Shu gave birth to the seventeenth princess and the imperial physician said The body is weak, and the spring is warm and cold, so the most important thing is to be careful about getting sick. In order to prevent quack doctors from delaying my sister's condition, I specially ordered two more to be checked together."

As she said that, she looked at the queen mother, lifted her skirt and knelt down, and said aggrievedly: "If this is still the concubine's fault, then it is the concubine's incompetence. Please also ask the empress dowager to take away the power of the concubine's harem and give it to the concubine. Sister Xianfei."

"Sister Guifei, what do you mean? My sister is just discussing the matter."

The imperial concubine didn't look at her, and just said: "Justice is in the hearts of the people. My sister thinks that she can do better, so please."

"Empress Dowager..." Concubine Xian also knelt down.

The queen mother did not speak, but looked at each one with indifferent eyes, until the two concubines lowered their heads quietly and said slowly: "Whoever the emperor gave the power to, I don't care, if you have anything to say, wait for the emperor to come back and say it yourself." The emperor is not in the palace, you sisters can't be of one mind, and you even made a fuss in front of Aijia. Even the King of Liang and the King of Shu are not good-looking. How can they get along with each other? Now whoever is in charge, whoever is in charge, makes Aijia so noisy. It hurts, let's all go back."

The noble concubine was really wronged, how could she trip up Concubine Shu at this time!

But in front of the Empress Dowager, she can't be presumptuous, she can only listen to the teachings with an open mind, "It's the concubine's fault, it's disturbing the Queen Mother's peace, the concubine is going to see Sister Concubine Shu."

"The concubine should go with my sister. I was biased before."

Concubine Xian also saluted respectfully.

The queen mother waved her hand, and all the concubines retreated quietly.

Yijing Palace

Concubine Shu was lying on the bed, Princess Jing'an was sitting beside the bed, Princess Seventeen was sitting on the couch beside her playing, next to her was her treasure chest, which was full of colorful gadgets.

Just now Princess Jing'an sent some colorful dolls, which are very popular with Princess Seventeen.

Concubine Shu leaned on the big soft pillow, "The princess really doesn't need to worry so much, children are not sure, if they like it today, they won't play tomorrow."

Princess Jing'an brought a plate of fruit next to her. The maid had already peeled and cut it into small pieces, which were very suitable for the entrance, and brought it to Concubine Shu. I did it when I had nothing to do."

Concubine Shu is not familiar with Princess Jing'an, and she is not sure what the princess means. It's just that being a woman is not easy, and being in this palace, she can guess what she is thinking.

"Then I would like to thank the princess." Concubine Shu smiled softly, and said that when she was going to marry the princess in the future, she just needed to ask more.

Princess Jing'an thanked her, and seeing Concubine Shu's pale face, she was really puzzled, "What did the imperial doctor say, why hasn't he recovered? It's just a minor illness, and it's enough to toss people back and forth."

Cuiwan came in with the medicine, and said after hearing the words: "My maidservant is also anxious. I asked several imperial physicians and they all said that I have a cold, and the fever can be reduced after taking the medicine, but I am afraid it will happen again. Madam, come, it's time to drink the medicine. "

Concubine Shu stood up, Princess Jing'an gave her a hand.

The medicine was bitter, Concubine Shu reluctantly drank it in one gulp, Cui Wan hurriedly stuffed a piece of candied fruit for her mother to relieve the bitterness.

Concubine Shu lay back and saw her daughter's dark eyes looking at her, so she smiled and waved to Princess Seventeen.

"Mother." The little princess threw herself on the bed, hugging her mother and rubbing against her.

"good."

The Seventeenth Princess raised her head, arched her arms in Concubine Shu's arms, then held a purse and put it in Concubine Shu's hand, "Get sick."

Princess Jing'an took a look at this somewhat old purse.

Concubine Shu stroked Princess Seventeen's head, and said with a smile, "Mother took it away, and Yan'er will be gone."

"Give it to mother, give it to mother, get sick." The eager eyes made Concubine Shu feel very close.

"Good boy, mother is all right, you can keep it."

Holding the purse in her hand, the Seventeenth Princess looked at her mother and asked uncertainly, "Okay?"

"Okay." Concubine Shu replied firmly.

The seventeenth princess laughed when she heard that, and happily took the purse and put it back into her treasure chest.

Seeing Princess Jing'an looking puzzled, Concubine Shu explained: "The Ninth Prince sent some soothing herbs and stuffed them in. She heard from someone that it can cure diseases, so she believed it. Who in this Yijing Palace If you are sick, you have to put it on your body, but when you get well, you have to wait for someone to return it.”

Princess Jing'an suddenly realized, and praised: "The princess is really kind, no wonder everyone loves her."

Concubine Shu was happy, but she still scolded, "It's very savage, that purse was originally a precious thing of the son, and she was forced to snatch it."

"Sir?"

"En, the eldest son of Prince Rui's residence, a generous child."

Jing'an's eyes moved slightly, and her eyes once again fell on the treasure chest of the Seventeenth Princess.

"My lady, the imperial concubine and the virtuous concubine are here, and they brought the imperial physician with them."

As she said that, Cui Wan signaled the nanny to back out with the Seventeenth Princess in her arms, Princess Jing'an got up and waited to see the two empresses to salute.

"The Princess and Concubine Shu's younger sister hit it off, so don't be too polite."

Princess Jing'an bowed and stood aside, just in time to see Concubine Xian, and saluted again.

Concubine Xian supported her tightly, and said with a smile: "Similar in age, we can chat, but it's not like us who are older and have nothing to say."

Then she approached Concubine Shu's bed, and the concubine asked with concern: "Didn't you feel well the day before yesterday? Why did you fall ill again? I really worry about my sister." She said to the waiting imperial physician, "Emperor physician, hurry up!" Come over and take a look, look carefully."

The noble concubine obviously has no patience. Although the queen mother did not say it clearly, since she is in charge of the harem, it is her responsibility that Concubine Shu has not been well. The emperor has nothing to say when he returns to the palace.

Could it be that he deliberately pretended to be weak and waited for Sheng Jia to return to the palace?

The noble concubine squinted at the concubine Shu who was silently letting the imperial physician probe her pulse, and her heart turned a thousand times.

Concubine Xian stood aside as if watching a good show, although there was concern in her eyes, but she also wondered in her heart: Concubine Shu is not a little girl who just entered the palace, and she still uses such unscrupulous means to invite favors.Even if she was upset that she should have been able to accompany her instead, it was because she did not live up to it, even the emperor could not sue her, or could she bring down the imperial concubine with just such a crime of negligence?

Stop being funny!

Under the scorching eyes of the concubines of the two palaces, the imperial physician also felt quite stressed. He probed carefully again and again, frowning and pondering what else could it be except this mild wind and cold?

"How about it?"

The imperial concubine asked impatiently.

"This... is really strange." He got up and gave way to the other three imperial physicians.

After checking the pulse one by one, the four of them got together and discussed in detail.

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and withdrew her hand, Cui Wan tucked the thin quilt for her, took away the soft back, and helped her to lie down.

Concubine Xian asked: "Sister, is there any other discomfort?"

Concubine Shu shook her head, looking very pitiful.

"Then let's have a good rest, let's go outside and have a look, and hope the imperial doctor can have a different result."

The noble concubine said and went out, and the concubine Xian turned her head to look at Princess Jing'an, "The princess might as well go back together, let my sister have a good rest."

"Yes."

"Cuiwan, go see off the two empresses and the princess." Concubine Shu ordered.

"how?"

The imperial concubine was sitting in the side hall, looking sideways at the prescription in her hand. She had stayed in the palace for a long time, just in case, she always knew some pharmacological principles, but these did not change much at all, they were used to treat wind, cold and high fever.

"Reporting to the imperial concubine, the weather can change from hot to cold in spring, and please be more careful, the wind and cold are easy to recur." The leading imperial physician said.

The imperial concubine asked: "Are you watching carefully?"

"Yes."

Concubine Xian got up and straightened her dress, "Since it's only a minor illness, then don't bother me much, sister, I'll take a step first."

After leaving the Yijing Palace, the imperial physician also left.

"Physician Zhang, why don't you let me tell?"

Doctor Xiao Wang also came for diagnosis and treatment together, and he was very puzzled on the way back.

Doctor Zhang asked: "Are you very sure?"

Imperial Physician Xiao Wang shook his head, "It's just a guess, after all it is different from Prince Rui's residence at that time, the condition is not serious."

"That's it. It's not easy to be an imperial physician, Xiao Wang."

Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head and walked forward, and Imperial Physician Wang followed behind with a frown.
