Wind and Rain Empire

In the imperial garden, the three concubines, Concubine Gui, Concubine Shu and Concubine De, and Zi Linglong are walking all the way to enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus

Concubine Shu went under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and picked one to sniff

"Ah, there are so many sweet-scented osmanthus blooms this year, look at all of them on this side"

The concubine smiled silently

"Sister, doesn't this sweet-scented osmanthus bloom like this every year?"

Concubine De is full of disdain and scolds Concubine Shu

"That's because Concubine Shu, you sleep in late every year at this time, and you sleep for a whole day"

Concubine Shu pouted indifferently

"Sister De Concubine, why do you keep exposing me, don't you know that I am tired in spring and autumn?"

Zi Linglong looked at the three of them and smiled lightly.

"Long time no see, the sisters are still so interesting"

The imperial concubine looked at Zi Linglong with pretended closeness

"It's been a long time since I saw Sister Zhaorong. What have you been doing in the palace during this time? Didn't you ask Beauty Yan?"

"Yan Meiren is also a little busy recently, so I don't want to disturb her. The seasons have changed recently, my sister and I have caught a cold, and I am not feeling well. Apart from taking care of my health, I just play the piano and play chess. My sisters laughed at me."

De Fei boasted

"Sister Zhaorong is very talented, unlike some people who can do nothing but eat and sleep (look at Concubine Shu)"

Concubine Shu looked at the flowers on the side of the road, and when she saw three people, they all looked at her

Concubine Shu didn't think too much, she only showed a smile, and looked in the direction of the three people's eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

Zi Linglong said softly

"Actually, my younger sister, I also made an appointment with Cao Jieyu today, but Cao Jieyu said that she has been feeling unwell recently and doesn't want to come out. In fact, it's because she had a conflict with me and didn't want to forgive me, right?"

Concubine nodded

"There may be such a reason, but my sister doesn't know it. Cao Jieyu fell ill when she gave birth to Prince Chenfeng. In spring and autumn, every part of her body turns red from time to time, especially when the wind blows and the flowers bloom. Although the imperial physician said it was all right, she also prescribed a prescription for Cao Jieyu to eat, but it didn't have any effect, and Cao Jieyu didn't go out much because she was afraid that her sisters would be disturbed by seeing it. walk around"

Zi Linglong talking to herself

"I see"

Concubine De looked at Zi Linglong with concerned eyes

"Huh? Little sister, haven't you heard of it before?"

"I've never heard of it. It seems that my sister needs to choose another day to visit Cao Jieyu."

Concubine Shu hastened to add

"If you see something delicious in her palace, call me immediately!"

Zi Linglong smiled and answered

"Well, for sure"

After returning to Ziyun Pavilion, not long after Zi Linglong picked up needlework to make clothes, the maid came to report

"Report to Zhaorong, Eunuch Wu is asking to see you outside the door"

Zi Linglong put down her needle and thread with puzzled eyes

"Eunuch Wu? Did he say something?"

"The father-in-law only said that the officials sent tributes"

Zi Linglong didn't hesitate

"Then please come in"

Eunuch Wu entered the door, followed by two young eunuchs, carrying two big bags

he bowed

"I've seen Mrs. Zhaorong, this is a tribute from the official family (to the little eunuch) and put it on the ground."

Zi Linglong stood up and approached the two sacks

"I'm sorry that Eunuch Wu will come here in person, I don't know what this reward is for."

"According to the officials, they are chestnuts"

Zi Linglong thinks carefully

"Chestnuts? This is a good thing, it is suitable for this autumn."

Eunuch Wu responded

"Your Majesty said yes, so the officials sent you here immediately."

Zi Linglong untied the sack and took a look

"It just so happens that I can fry chestnuts. After I'm done, send it to the sisters to taste (pause) Eunuch Wu, can you wait here for a while? After I finish frying the chestnuts, you can send a copy to the official family to taste." "

"Slave obeys"

Chunming Palace

Zi Linglong entered the palace with a food box and happened to see Concubine Shu eating chestnut cake

Concubine Shu hurriedly sat up

"Oh, sister Zhaorong, why are you here? Why is no one telling you?"

She glanced behind Zi Linglong

"Sister specially came to surprise my sister (opened the food box) and brought you delicious food"

Concubine Shu cried out in surprise when she saw the bright yellow fried chestnuts

"Wow! Delicious fried chestnuts! (reaches out and grabs one and eats it) It's so fragrant!"

"This chestnut is a reward from the government, of course it is delicious."

Concubine Shu pointed to the drawer of food boxes

"My sister gave this box to my sister?"

Zi Linglong hesitated for a while

"I thought I was going to give it to my sister, but I heard from my sisters that Cao Jieyu hadn't been out for a long time, so I wanted to ask my sister to visit Cao Jieyu together. The three of us will taste it together. How about it?"

Concubine Shu nodded to Zi Linglong

"Sister Zhaorong, it's not my sister who blamed you, this Cao Jieyu was demoted because of you, and you rushed to provoke her, according to my sister, let's eat here honestly! "

Zi Linglong shook her head

"It was because of my sister that I was demoted, so my sister felt guilty, so I wanted to see her"

Concubine Shu thought for a moment

"If you say that... (looks at the food box) that's good, but I'll score more points after passing."

"Of course, my sister eats as much as she likes, and my sister has a lot of them."

Inside Lingyao Terrace

Xia Yu walked into the hall

"Your Majesty, Zi Zhaorong and Concubine Shu are visiting"

Cao Jieyu looked puzzled

"What are they here for?"

"I heard that the empress is not feeling well, so I came to see it, and I brought some tributes from the officials by the way."

Cao Jieyu rolled her eyes and thought, her inner monologue

"It's not because you still think I've been demoted enough, so you continue to harm me? (To Xia Yu) Tell them to see you, tell them to go back with their things."

Xia Yu proposed

"However, this time it was brought as a tribute from the official family. If it is driven away like this, I'm afraid it will be bad. If it is passed on to the official family, it will be thought that Jieyu and you are playing petty temper with the official family."

Cao Jieyu thought for a while, then sighed

"Hey, it's really annoying, since that's the case, let them come in."

Zi Linglong walked in with Concubine Shu carrying the food box

Cao Jieyu stood up and saluted reluctantly

"Meet the two sisters"

Zi Linglong stepped forward to stop her

"My sister's qualifications to enter the palace are much longer than the two of us, and it's also called Shunkou, so there's no need to change it, right, sister Concubine Shu?"

Concubine Shu agrees

"Yeah, let's call them sisters according to the original name. It's strange that we suddenly changed our tune."

"Then Jieyu will obey. The two younger sisters (looking at the two) don't know why the two younger sisters came to see me today?"

"I heard that my sister will not go out in spring and autumn. I guess my sister is very bored in the palace, so I specially brought the tribute from the official family to see my sister."

Cao Jieyu looked at Zi Linglong warily

"Sister, when I gave birth to Chenfeng, I fell into the root of the disease. If I had known earlier, I would not have been born so early."

Zi Linglong glanced at her

"My sister is really joking. Who can tell whether it will be sooner or later that the prince will be born?"

Cao Jieyu did not hesitate to use a sarcastic tone

"It's a good fortune for my younger sister. After entering the palace, she becomes more and more beautiful. She has gathered thousands of favors. You should add a dragon son to the emperor as soon as possible."

Zi Linglong shook her head lightly

"My sister's luck is average, but she doesn't always think about harming others."

Cao Jieyu sneered disdainfully

"Huh, really?"

Concubine Shu who was sitting by the side was not happy

"Sisters, have you finished talking? Is this box of chestnuts cold?"

Zi Linglong pointed at the food box

"Since Sister Concubine Shu already wants to eat, take it out and eat it."

The three sat down in sequence, Concubine Shu opened the food box, brought out a large plate of fried chestnuts on the table, grabbed a handful and started eating

Zi Linglong looked at Concubine Shu eating vigorously

"Sister Concubine Shu, why didn't you wait for Cao Jieyu to eat first?"

Cao Jieyu waved her hand

"It's okay, Concubine Shu has always been interested in eating, let her eat first (inner monologue) If it is poisonous, you can poison her to death first, and then I will sue you."

Zi Linglong reached out to Cao Jieyu

"Cao Jieyu please"

Cao Jieyu looked at Zi Linglong, then at the fried chestnuts

"This is from you, my sister. If you don't taste it yourself, how can I be so embarrassed?"

Zi Linglong stretched out her hand to take the chestnuts, and said to Cao Jieyu

"Then sister will eat first"

She peeled a chestnut and ate it in one bite. After chewing twice, she stared at Concubine Shu with wide eyes in surprise.

"Oh! It's the best!"

Concubine Shu smiled at Zi Linglong

"That's right, I also had this expression at the beginning, it's really delicious!"

Zi Linglong held the chestnut and looked at

"I didn't expect that the one made by Ben Gong can be so delicious. The ingredients are really good. It is worthy of being a tribute."

The two grabbed and ate one by one

Cao Jieyu looked at the two, her inner monologue

"Since it's okay for the two of them to eat so happily, and it's rewarded by the government... wouldn't it be rude for me not to eat..."

Cao Jieyu ordered Xia Yu to

"Give me a few to taste too."

Xia Yu scooped up a few chestnuts with a spoon, packed them in small plates, and brought them to Cao Jieyu

When Cao Jieyu ate it, she also had a surprised expression

"It's really delicious, sister Zhaorong is really good at cooking."

"Sister Jieyu, as long as you like it, I even asked someone to bring some to Concubine De and Sister Guifei."

Concubine Shu is a little anxious

"Then sister Zhaorong, you also send some to Bengong, I want to fry it now."

Zi Linglong nodded in agreement

"Well, my sister will fry chestnuts for my sister when I go back."

Cao Jieyu felt dizzy after eating some chestnuts, and supported her head. Xia Yu noticed that Cao Jieyu's complexion was not right, so she quickly supported her

"My lady, what's the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Cao Jieyu waved her hand

"It's okay, I'm afraid I'm a little tired, maybe I'll be fine after a short rest."

Zi Linglong and Concubine Shu stood up and prepared to leave

"Since my sister is tired, Ben Gong and Sister Concubine Shu should leave first."

As soon as the words fell, Cao Jieyu fell to the ground in a coma

Seeing her pulse, Zi Linglong stepped forward quickly, felt the pulse on Cao Jieyu's neck after finishing her pulse, and said to Xia Yu

"No, send someone to call the imperial physician!"

Xia Yu yelled at a court lady standing beside her

"Aren't you going soon?"

Concubine Shu looked bewildered, she stood aside and pointed at Cao Jieyu and asked

"What happened to Cao Jieyu? Why is she still in a coma?"

"It's still hard to say, my sister felt that her neck seemed to be swollen (Ask Xia Yu) Is the concubine Xian's usual taboo?"

Xia Yu memories

"If you have taboos, you can't eat honey, seafood and river fresh food"

Zi Linglong Road

"That's weird, I didn't put honey in the chestnuts either."

Cao Jieyu woke up at this moment, squinting her eyes with a rush of breath

"Help...help me..."

Zi Linglong reaches out to pat Xia Yu

"There is a prescription prescribed by the imperial physician in your palace to treat the red spots on Jieyu's body. Do you have any medicine now?"

"It's boiled, but I'm afraid it's cold"

"It's okay, hurry up and bring it (to Concubine Shu) Sister Concubine Shu, you support Jieyu's body so that she won't lie down"

Concubine Shu supported Cao Jieyu's body, maintaining a 45-degree inclination

Zi Linglong looked at and nodded

"Well, this angle is just right"

She brought a cup of herbal tea, opened Cao Jieyu's mouth, and slowly poured the tea into it

Concubine Shu is puzzled

"Hey sister Zhaorong, this tea is cold, what are you doing for her?"

Zi Linglong explained

"Her throat is swollen and she may suffocate at any time. I am testing whether she can breathe. If I use hot tea, the swelling will be even worse."

Xia Yu ran up with the medicine in small steps

"The medicine is here, the medicine is here" and handed the medicine bowl to Zi Linglong

Zi Linglong took the medicine bowl and said to Xia Yu

"Xia Yu, open Jieyu's mouth a little so I can give her medicine"

Xia Yu promised

"Yes, Lady Zhaorong" Then she opened Cao Jieyu's mouth

Zi Linglong fed Cao Jieyu mouthful with a spoon, and Cao Jieyu vomited some soup from time to time

Looking at the unconscious Cao Jieyu, Xia Yu felt anxious

"Ms. Zhaorong, does this regurgitation mean that you can no longer take medicine?"

"No, it means that her throat can no longer take medicine, but the medicine must be poured down to open her throat, otherwise Cao Jieyu will die."

Xia Yu knelt down

"I beg Mrs. Zhaorong to save our Jieyu."

Zi Linglong glanced at Xia Yu

"Don't worry, I'm saving (internal monologue) If I stop now or move slowly, she will die, and I can fulfill the queen's entrustment and help Yongping avenge the murder of his mother, but if I kill her Without her, there will be another child without a mother, I... what should I do..."

Zi Linglong fed Cao Jieyu all the soup and medicine, patted her on the back and stretched out her fingers to the depths of Cao Jieyu's throat

After exploring, Zi Linglong wiped her hands and let out a sigh of relief.

"The swelling has subsided a little, so it should be fine."

Xia Yu kowtows to Zi Linglong

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhaorong, for saving our Jieyu's life, thank you, Mrs. Zhaorong, thank you, Mrs. Zhaorong!"

Concubine Shu sat on the ground, shook her sore arms, and asked Zi Linglong

"Then should I continue to support her?"

"Need to hold on"

"Ms. Concubine Shu, come change your slaves."

Xia Yu helped Cao Jieyu from Concubine Shu

Concubine Shu and Zi Linglong stood up, at this moment the court lady helped Imperial Doctor Zhang enter the door

Physician Zhang was out of breath

"Oh, I ran away to the death of the old minister, this journey... really killed the old minister."

Zi Linglong looked over

"Physician Zhang, I have already checked with Cao Jieyu, and Cao Jieyu is fine."

Doctor Zhang supported his knees and continued to pant

"Is there any serious problem?...Then why do you let the old minister run away in such a hurry?"

Xia Yu to Doctor Zhang

"Physician Zhang, since you are here, please show Jieyu again."

Doctor Zhang took a short rest before going forward to check the pulse

"Well, it is true that there is no serious problem, but the breath is still weak, how did it cause it?"

Zi Linglong points to a plate of chestnuts

"I got sick after eating the chestnuts sent by Hongu."

Doctor Zhang timidly looked at Zi Linglong and Concubine Shu

"Dare you ask the two ladies to eat the chestnuts?"

"I ate it"

Concubine Shu looked at Zi Linglong

Zi Linglong also answered

"I ate it too"

Doctor Zhang walked up to the food box, sniffed the chestnuts and ate one

"Then it's not about the chestnut, it's about Cao Jieyu's own physique."

Zi Linglong walked slowly in front of Imperial Physician Zhang

"Physician Zhang, did you prescribe Cao Jieyu's prescription for treating red spots?"

Physician Zhang bowed his hands respectfully, "It's the old minister"

"Although the medicine you gave may come in handy, the curative effect is not obvious. If you take it like this, you will lose your head, and it will not cure you."

"Then what does Madam Yi Zhaorong mean?"

Zi Linglong got closer and closer to Imperial Physician Zhang

"The root cause of Cao Jieyu's disease lies in the spleen and stomach. If her diet does not dispel dampness and cold, she cannot eat cold food such as river fresh seafood. As a result, her five viscera are disordered."

Physician Zhang smiled easily

"These veterans know it all"

Zi Linglong's expression changed suddenly, and she reprimanded

"Knowing that you can't be cured? Could it be that you want to recuperate from your illness? Have you been working as an imperial physician because you can't cure your illness?"

Physician Zhang was taken aback and hurriedly knelt down

"Old minister dare not!"

Zi Linglong paced around Imperial Physician Zhang

"You'd better not dare. From now on, you have to use warm soup for Jieyu. If you add or subtract one medicinal ingredient, we sisters will sue the government."

Physician Zhang fell on the ground

"Old ministers obey orders, veteran ministers obey orders"

"Okay, if you're okay, you can go."

Physician Zhang stood up and stepped back

Zi Linglong vs Xia Yu

"Miss Xia Yu, I really don't know what happened to such an accident today. I will write you a prescription for warming soup in a while. You will make it for Cao Jieyu to drink from now on. I believe she will recover in a short time. , and I won't get up again."

Xia Yu bows to Zi Linglong

"Thanks to Empress Zhaorong for saving our Jieyu's life today, this servant thanked Empress Zhaorong on behalf of Jieyu"

Zi Linglong raised her hand

"You don't have to be polite anymore"
