[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

After a while.

Looking at the concubines in the Changchun Palace, Gu Qianqian couldn't help but secretly lamented that her "popularity" was really good. She was sick and so many people came, could other concubines be treated like this?

"Ahem, my concubine greets the empress." Gu Qianqian coughed a few times and was about to get up to salute the empress.

Empress Fucha smiled and pushed her back, "You don't need to be so polite, you are sick now, so don't get up." After she finished speaking, her eyes flicked around Gu Qianqian's face, as if she didn't care.

"Thank you, Empress, for your compassion." Gu Qianqian lay back docilely, with a tired look on her face.

Concubine Gao glanced at her, with sizing and testing in her eyes, and asked with a smile: "How did sister Concubine Xian get this disease? She was fine yesterday, why did she become so ill overnight? Pitiful."

"Maybe it's because I forgot to cover the quilt when I slept in the cold a few days ago." Gu Qianqian was a little embarrassed, she covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, her voice was a bit hoarse, "It's okay, I guess it will be over in a few days." Can be good."

"So that's the case, the younger sister has to take good care of her health." Concubine Gao was still skeptical. At this moment, Du Juan came over with the freshly brewed medicine. She was moved and said, "My younger sister is probably ill now You don't have much strength, why don't I come and feed you medicine."

She wants to see if Concubine Xian is really sick or pretending to be sick. She has drank a lot of medicine for raising babies before, and she really remembers the taste. If there is something wrong with the taste of the medicine later, it means Concubine Xian's Illness is also problematic.

"Well, why is this bothering Concubine Gao?" Gu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, with hesitation and suspicion in her beautiful eyes, "The concubine is not that sick."

"Hey, Sister Concubine Xian has been in love with me for many years, why are you still so estranged?" The more Gu Qianqian refused, the more determined Concubine Gao became, she couldn't help but refuse, and took the medicine bowl from Du Juan's hand , and sat next to Concubine Xian.

The medicine was freshly brewed, exuding a strong and astringent smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Concubine Gao took a spoonful of the medicine calmly, smelled it, and found that it tasted bitter and sour, somewhat different from the medicine she drank before. different.

"Sister Concubine Xian..." Was she thinking too much?Concubine Gao breathed a sigh of relief, she turned her head and picked up the spoon and brought it to Gu Qianqian's lips.

Gu Qianqian seemed helpless, bit the bullet and drank a bowl.

After she finished drinking, she suddenly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, leaned her head against the pillow, and coughed heavily, the coughing sound piercing, as if she was about to cough out her lungs, and her thin and lonely shoulders couldn't help shaking.

Everyone unconsciously moved their bodies back to distance themselves from Concubine Xian, for fear that they would get sick if they got too close.

"I'm really sorry." After coughing, Gu Qianqian's face was blushing, and she had a morbid beauty, "This concubine is very sick, and I can't stop coughing."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Concubine Gao's face, and she thought to herself, getting so close, I don't know if I will get over Concubine Xian's sickness. .

"It's nothing, I know you didn't do it on purpose." Concubine Gao said with a forced smile, and she casually handed the medicine bowl to Du Juan beside her. After verifying that Concubine Xian really had a cold, she didn't want to stay here for a moment. "Since my sister is unwell, I won't disturb my sister's rest here, so I will leave first. I will come to visit after my sister recovers."

As soon as Concubine Gao spoke, the others also stood up and said goodbye.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the room was empty. As soon as they left, Gu Qianqian couldn't help covering her face with a handkerchief, laughing so hard that she couldn't stand upright.

Look at her bright eyes, she doesn't look like a patient.

"Your Majesty, you are really clever." Du Juan took the medicine bowl aside and put it down, took a plate of candied fruit to her side, and said, "It's thanks to you that you asked Sun Taiyi to prepare two doses of wind and cold medicine, otherwise it will be difficult for you now. I'm afraid I can't hide it. However, Doctor Sun said that you should not drink too much of this wind-cold medicine, and I will see if you spit it out."

"You silly girl, how can I really drink it?" Gu Qianqian said with a smile, she stretched out her hand and picked up a veil from the side of the pillow. The veil was originally white, but now it has turned gray-brown , "I just spit out the medicine on this veil just now."

Du Juan's eyes lit up, heaved a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "You almost scared the servant to death."

Gu Qianqian blinked her eyes. Based on her understanding of the concubines in the harem, no one would suspect that she was ill. Therefore, she made two-handed preparations early on. Presumably, after today's drama, no one will dare to set foot Her Changchun Palace is gone.

In the tea room, Guizhi walked in as if no one was around, and the maid in charge of making tea was standing by the small stove. When she saw her coming in, she smiled attentively, "Sister Guizhi, what do you want?"

This court lady is already accustomed to Gui Zhi going in and out of the tea room, not only her, but also other people. After all, Gui Zhi will run to the tea room when she has nothing to do, and she is not stingy when she asks for tea and snacks. I ordered dishes from the imperial dining room to share with other court ladies and eunuchs with my own money.

"I'll just come in for a walk, you just do your work." Guizhi said with a smile and waved his hand.

The maid responded without asking any further questions, no matter how much she thought, she never thought that Guizhi would be the eyeliner. Guizhi walked to the side of the medicine pot as if nothing had happened. He moved quickly, opened the lid with one hand, grabbed some medicinal residues with a handkerchief with the other hand, then quickly closed the lid, hid the handkerchief in his sleeve, and took a mung bean cake from the table with a smile, "This mung bean cake tastes good. "

"If my sister likes it, just take it." The maid looked at the fire without looking back.

Guizhi smiled and said: "I only have one stomach, how can I eat so much, one piece is enough." After finishing the mung bean cake in twos and fives, he clapped his hands and went out.

After going out, she was not in a hurry to go back to the house, went to the toilet, took out the handkerchief, opened it, and carefully inspected the medicinal residues. She knew a little about the art of realgar, but her level was only average. It is not up to that level to smell the medicinal materials used, but it is much easier to check the medicinal residues.

"Ephedra, almonds, licorice, white peony..." Gui Zhi looked at the medicinal materials, and the expression on his face gradually eased. This is indeed a cold medicine, and it seems that Madam Liu is too concerned.

Early this morning, Guizhi saw an extra flower on the palace path, and knew that Madam Liu had something to see her.Sure enough, after we met, Mammy Liu asked about Concubine Xian's illness. After Guizhi told her everything, Mammy Liu was still worried and asked her to go to the medicine residue to confirm it.

If it wasn't for Madam Liu's persuasion, Guizhi would not do this risky thing.

Now the result is as she thought, Gui Zhi snorted from her nose, only thinking that Madam Liu is old and suspicious, she has no skills, she just knows how to instigate others, and she doesn't think about it for her. If someone catches them on the spot, that's fine.

Guizhi threw the medicinal residues into the barrels, and the barrels would be taken out and cleaned tomorrow morning, so that no one would be able to find out what she was doing.

In the tea room.

Du Juan finished delivering candied fruit to Gu Qianqian, and when she came back, she was about to put down the medicine bowl when she saw that a piece of licorice that had been glued to the lid of the medicine pot had disappeared. Where did Zhi that girl go, the empress is looking for her."

"Sister Gui Zhi came here just now, and this servant has gone somewhere." The little maid said.

It really was her.Du Juan understood inwardly, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if she's not here, you can run for her, the lady said that she has no appetite after being ill, and she wants the imperial dining room to make some appetizing and light food, you go and tell me. "

"Hey!" The little maid happily agreed, straightened up quickly, handed over the matter of watching the fire to her companion, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and ran out.

At this time, Guizhi was still very proud, and in the evening, she told Nanny Liu the result.

"The dregs of the medicine are wind-cold medicine. I see it for real. Mammy, you are really thinking too much."

Mammy Liu was very satisfied with the result in her heart, but she was a little unhappy with Guizhi's attitude, "Mommy doesn't like to hear what you say, why think too much, if I don't let you check it, he will The concubine is really pregnant, can you bear the responsibility of delaying your empress's important affairs?"

Gui Zhi was still proud at first, but Mammy Liu flinched a little when she raised her voice, "I, I'm just afraid that I'll be discovered by others and delay my mother's affairs."

"Huh." Nanny Liu snorted, and looked Gui Zhi up and down. Gui Zhi had been with Concubine Xian for a long time, and was used to being praised by others, and now she really regarded herself as the number one person. , "I don't care what you think. But don't forget whose hands your life is in. Let me hear this in the future, and think about what will happen to you."

After all, she glared at Gui Zhi fiercely.

Gui Zhi almost lost her courage, and hurriedly knelt down, "Nurse, it was my fault, I don't dare to do it again."

She talked and begged for mercy, and then Nanny Liu let out a sigh of relief and beat her a few words before leaving.

Gui Zhi was left alone, covered in sweat, kneeling on the ground in a panic.

What Liu Mama brought back made the queen completely relieved.

From this day onwards, Changchun Palace became deserted, many nobles often come here and love to come here, but these few days they came less, everyone was afraid of getting sick.

Gu Qianqian's "wind chill" is getting worse day by day, sometimes it gets better and sometimes it recurs.

She couldn't serve Qianlong, and the concubines in the palace simply celebrated with each other, and even secretly prayed to God that if Gu Qianqian could not afford to be ill, she would just die of illness.

Concubine Chun was also very happy about this. She prayed every day that Gu Qianqian would be sick. Only after Gu Qianqian died, would Long Live God give his thoughts and love to other people, and these other people are mainly referring to her. .

Because she has a dragon seed in her stomach, Concubine Chun is very sure about her future. She is full of confidence that she will be able to rely on her son in the future, and it is not impossible to change her status.

If Elder Brother is born as a noble concubine, her children will have a bright future.

With this idea in mind, Concubine Chun has been in the right and left of the empress and the empress dowager these days, and it means that both ends are not offended, and both ends are pleasing to the eye.

"I don't know why, my taste has changed a lot these days, I don't like anything else, I just like the milk tea from your empress dowager." Concubine Chun took a sip of milk tea and said to the queen mother with a smile.

Nanny Chen jokingly said, "I'm afraid this little elder brother has a relationship with the empress dowager, and the empress dowager also likes to drink milk tea."

The queen mother really liked to hear such words, and she smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, okay, since you like it, you might as well come more, the Ai family usually feels boring by themselves, and I just want to find someone to talk with, but I'm afraid to disturb you rest."

"This isn't an interruption. It's my honor to be able to talk with you." Concubine Chun uttered good things as if her mouth had been smeared with honey.

Just as he was talking, Eunuch An brought Doctor Li outside and came in.

The conversation between the two stopped at this point. Concubine Chun looked at Imperial Physician Li and frowned slightly, "Where is Imperial Physician Sun? Isn't Imperial Physician Sun the one who is in charge of asking for a safe pulse for this palace?"

"Return to Concubine Chun's words." Imperial Physician Li showed embarrassment on his old face, "Long Live God asked Imperial Physician Sun to take care of Concubine Xian's illness, and said that in the future, you will let the servants take care of it."

Concubine Chun's face darkened, and she put the tea bowl in her hand on Table Mountain, clanging, and her eyes were cold, "What's going on? Doctor Sun is obviously in charge of my palace!"

Even if it's nothing else but Concubine Xian, she should be angry. After all, she has two bodies now, and she is pregnant with a dragon seed. What is Concubine Xian, who dares to rob her when she has the wind and cold.Don't think that Concubine Chun doesn't know which imperial physician has superb medical skills, Lord Long Live even promoted Sun Jingli, which shows that Sun Jingli's medical skills are the best in the imperial medical office.

"Princess Li, please explain clearly what's going on." The queen mother's face also pulled down.

Doctor Li secretly groaned in his heart, and he laughed along with him, "I don't know about this. The servant just now knew about the will of the Long Live Lord. As for why the Long Live Lord gave such an order, I am afraid that only the Long Live Lord knows."

Doctor Li did not want to be involved in the struggle between Concubine Chun and Concubine Xian.

However, Concubine Chun is a master who does not let others. In the past, she had no reliance and was still trembling. Now that she has the support of the dragon species and the queen mother, she is not willing to give in. She sneered, with sharp irony in her tone, "Ben Gong and A child is no better than a sick child." When she said this, she glanced at Doctor Li with her eyes like a knife, and raised her finger, "I don't have any discomfort in my body, so don't bother Doctor Li, please go back to Doctor Li. "

The implication is to refuse Li Taiyi's pulse.

This time, Doctor Li was in such a panic that Long Live God even asked him to come. If he couldn't even handle this errand, wouldn't he have to die later, "Pure concubine, you are pregnant with a dragon seed now. You can't play with your body."

"It's not child's play." Concubine Chun's anger was completely ignited by this sentence, "Could it be that no one listens to what Bengong said now. Bengong's own body is counted!"

Seven parts of her anger are true and three parts are false. The reason for her anger is to make things worse and seek justice. Today she is pregnant and can be robbed by Concubine Xian. If it is spread, it will definitely become the laughing stock of the harem. He Even if she gave birth to a prince, she might not be able to get a little respect from everyone.

Simply make use of the topic, kill chickens to make an example of monkeys, and use concubines to establish prestige.

She thought to herself, anyway, she is just a sick child, and she expected that no matter how much Long Live God favored her, he would not go past the child in her belly.

Doctor Li was so frightened by her anger that he knelt down hastily and lowered his head, but he didn't dare to answer, let alone leave.If he leaves, it will be over.

Concubine Chun didn't want to talk to him either, she turned her side and said to the queen mother with blushing eyes, "Mother queen mother, I'm really wronged." He looked extremely wronged.

"Good boy, don't cry." The queen mother looked very distressed, she stretched out her hand and patted Concubine Chun on the shoulder, and said to Nanny Chen: "You go to the Qianqing Palace and say that Aijia wants to see the Lord Long Live , Let Long Live Lord come and walk, and besides, invite the Empress and the others to come, and even Concubine Xian to come over."

Hearing this, Nanny Chen immediately answered yes.

Concubine Chun lowered her head, but a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. Today, she must make Concubine Xian completely lose face, and it would be best to let everyone see Concubine Xian kneeling in front of her.

"Our empress is still sick, she can't even get out of bed, how can she go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace?" Bai Ling asked with wide eyes at the palace maid who came to deliver the message.

The palace maid of Compassion Ning Palace looked up and down, looked at Gu Qianqian as if she was looking at something, and pushed her back: "The servants don't know, this is what the empress dowager meant, if the concubine Xian doesn't go, It's disobeying the order and disrespecting it, you have to decide the consequences yourself!"

"You!" Bai Ling was so angry that he almost lost his breath. For a court lady to dare to treat their mother like this, she was clearly acting like a bully.

"Bai Ling." Gu Qianqian covered her lips and coughed, preventing Bai Ling from arguing with the maid. She lifted the quilt and sat up with difficulty, but her body was straight, and she looked directly at the maid, "I will I went, but I didn't know the girl's name, and I asked the girl to leave her name, and the Japanese Palace will definitely report the girl's kind reminder today."

She bit the four words of kind reminder heavily.

That court lady is not very capable at all, she dared to speak loudly to Gu Qianqian because she was in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and she wanted to vent her anger on behalf of Concubine Chun and the Queen Mother. Pale, softened his tone but refused to say his name, "Why are you asking these questions? Hurry up and pack up and go see the Queen Mother."

Gu Qianqian smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes, she said bluntly: "I need to freshen up, girl, go out."

The maid walked out in a panic.

Gu Qianqian took Gui Zhi's hand and walked to the dressing table, and gave Bai Ling a look quietly.

Bai Ling quietly understood, and walked out quietly, there are many maids in the palace, such little maids are like little ants, any master can remember them all, let alone people from the Palace of Mercy Ning.

But Xiao Zhuzi is different, this kid has a lively mind, he used the opportunity of running to the various palaces to secretly remember the people in the various palaces long ago, and it came in handy today.

After combing her hair and dressing up, Gu Qianqian took a chariot to the Ci Ning Palace.

When she arrived, all the people who were supposed to come in the Compassion Ning Palace had arrived.

Qianlong thought that something big happened, but when he arrived, he learned that it was because of Sun Taiyi, and his expression was a little unsightly. He was dissatisfied in his heart that Concubine Chun was making a fuss over some trivial matter, but since the Queen Mother was here, it was not good to be straight. Speak your mind freely.

When Gu Qianqian stepped into the hall, Concubine Chun was covering her face with a veil and weeping, the queen next to her comforted softly: "Okay, don't cry, they say that happy people can't cry, so be careful when you cry like this." eyes."

When this was said, outsiders said: "Concubine Xian is here."

This sound suppressed the voices of the Queen and Concubine Chun.

All of a sudden, the Queen's words stopped, and Concubine Chun's crying also stopped. Everyone looked up, and saw a beauty with black hair and snow skin walking towards her. On April day, she was wearing a rabbit fur cloak, holding She was also holding a hand stove, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyebrows and eyes were swept away, even if it wasn't spring, there was a third of spring in it.

Anger sprang up in Concubine Chun's eyeballs, she was so sick, how could she still look like a vixen!

"Cough cough." Gu Qianqian coughed softly against her lips, her eyes were watery, and she felt a sense of frailty.

When she was about to bow her knees to salute, Qianlong said, "Stop saluting, you are so sick that you can't make trouble, Li Yu, go and bring a chair for your concubine Xian to sit down."

Li Yu hurriedly agreed to go, found a chair, and put a soft cushion on it, really thoughtful service.

The empress dowager's eyes were like knives, and she swept him several times.

"Thank you, Lord Long Live." Gu Qianqian bowed her knees as a salute, and sat down on a chair with a hand stove in her arms. After a while, tea and snacks were served, and the queen mother gave Li Yu another look.

Concubine Chun felt as if she had overturned the Shanxi Vinegar Shop when she saw the battle. She was not afraid of comparing goods with others, but she was afraid of comparing others. She was wronged so much that when Long Live Lord came in just now, she didn't even mention a word of concern. , and showed an impatient look, but now that Concubine Xian came in, it was good for him to let Li Yu serve him like this, even if he was not so considerate to the queen!

"Sister Concubine Xian is here, we have been waiting for you for a long time." Concubine Chun said with a smile on her face.

"The concubine has been very ill the past few days, and her body has no strength. It is the concubine's fault that you have been waiting for a long time." Gu Qianqian turned her head and coughed a few times in a low voice, her face flushed like a delicate flower, "It's just that the concubine doesn't know, what's the matter with the empress dowager asking the concubine to come?"

She coughed so pitifully that the eunuchs couldn't help feeling a little pity for her.

This Concubine Xian is so ill, the Queen Mother and Concubine Chun forced her to come here, how heartless it is!

Not only the eunuchs, but even Qianlong, who knew that Gu Qianqian was not sick, felt distressed when he saw it. He looked at Concubine Chun in a deep voice and said, "Okay, Concubine Chun, stop messing around. Concubine Xian is sick like this, you Is it interesting to let her come?"

Concubine Chun's complexion turned pale, and her originally calm face distorted instantly. She pinched her thigh fiercely to suppress the overwhelming anger and grievance in her heart, "Long live, my concubine doesn't know my sister is sick So powerful, the concubine thought that my sister was almost better."

"The pure concubine is busy, and it is understandable that the concubine's condition is not known. Don't blame her, Long Live." Gu Qianqian seemed to be pleading for the pure concubine, but in fact she was blaming her.

Sure enough, Qianlong became even more displeased when he heard it, "If you don't know the condition, you can ask someone to ask about it. It's so difficult to say a word."

you do not say.It's so difficult to do one sentence.But what is the relationship between Concubine Chun and Gu Qianqian? She was a best friend in the past and is now an enemy. Concubine Chun did not use witchcraft to curse Gu Qianqian behind her back. She is already generous.

After being scolded one after another, Concubine Chun really wanted to cry this time.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager was a little unhappy. Today she was here to show her prestige to Concubine Xian, not Concubine Chun. Save face.

For the Empress Dowager's sake, Qianlong didn't continue talking.

The queen mother cleared her throat, her eyes fell on Gu Qianqian, and she was slandering in her heart, Concubine Xian is really a scourge, and it is imperative to establish her prestige today, otherwise, she may climb on top of her head to do her best in the future Thinking of this, she said to Concubine Xian: "Concubine Xian, Aijia heard that you have been ill for a few days. How is your body? When will you recover?"

"Returning to the Empress Dowager, the concubine's illness sometimes goes from good to bad, and the concubine can't tell when it will recover." Gu Qianqian said.

"The Ai family sees that your complexion is not bad." The Queen Mother opened her eyes and said nonsense: "Let Imperial Physician Li take care of it for you. It's just a cold, and it will take a few days to recover."

Qianlong frowned and looked at the queen mother with dissatisfaction.

But the Empress Dowager pretended not to see it, and only looked at Gu Qianqian.

Gu Qianqian lowered her head and changed her mind. It was because of this matter. She said why she was called here suddenly. It seems that Concubine Chun was assigned to take care of her by Imperial Physician Sun. She may not give in to other things. Guan Sun, the imperial physician, she will not let it go. After all, only a few people know about her happiness. If other imperial physicians are responsible, there will be one more person who knows, and she can't trust the others.

But Gu Qianqian thought so in her heart, but on the surface she retreated to advance, "The concubine understands what the empress dowager means. Now that the pure concubine is pregnant, it is natural to give priority to the pure concubine. The concubine's illness is brought by Li Taiyi. It’s okay to take care of it.”

When her words fell to the ground, Concubine Chun's complexion immediately improved a lot, and she looked at Gu Qianqian as if saying that you are sensible and know that you should give it to her.

But Concubine Chun's complexion didn't take long before she heard Qianlong say in a deep voice: "No!"

"Emperor?" The Empress Dowager looked at Qianlong in disbelief with anger in astonishment, she clearly did not expect Qianlong to refute her face.

Qianlong glanced at Gu Qianqian helplessly, but his tone was very decisive, "I am a gentleman, and a gentleman is hard to follow. How can there be any reason to go back on it? Besides, Li Taiyi's medical skills are not bad, let him be responsible for the safety of the pure concubine. There is nothing wrong with it, but Concubine Xian's condition is repeated, and she was taken care of by Imperial Physician Sun before, so naturally only Imperial Physician Sun can cure her disease."

A few words in succession blocked all escape routes.

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Chun were stunned. No matter how they thought about it, they never imagined that in Qianlong's heart, Concubine Xian was more important than the Prince!

"Du Juan, Bai Ling, your mother is not feeling well, hurry up and help her back." Qianlong obviously intended to cut the mess quickly, and before the Queen Mother and others could react, he ordered Du Juan and Bai Ling.

The two also responded quickly, saying yes, and helped Gu Qianqian get up.

Gu Qianqian lowered her head, hiding her smile.

Concubine Chun watched her leave, feeling as if a thousand knives were cut in her heart.

However, this was not finished yet. After the matter was settled neatly, Qianlong looked at Concubine Chun with a warning tone, "Concubine Chun, you are pregnant now, I think you should be honest and have a good pregnancy. running around every day."

These words are clear, they are warning Concubine Chun not to go to the Compassion Palace.

What happened today, he can tolerate it once, but not the second time.

Concubine Chun was annoyed and ashamed, she bit her lip and said yes with tears streaming down her face.

This time, I don’t know who took who took the power, anyway, after this day, Changchun Palace has restored the usual guests, but Gu Qianqian is too lazy to entertain those nobles, Chang Zai, just used the ready-made excuse to recuperate and push everyone away. outside the door.

She met Mrs. Ning Gui a few times, and after telling her to do things as usual, Mrs. Ning Guiren refrained from running to her wisely.
