King Hui survived and returned to the capital. Whether the palace knew or not, the Queen Mother of Qin answered with practical actions.
Rewards in the name of "pacifying Princess Hui" were sent to Prince Hui's Mansion. The most precious one was a gift given to the Empress Dowager Qin by the former Emperor Yuan and Empress.
The high-profile reward given by the Queen Mother of Qin did not attract the attention of others. In everyone's opinion, the Queen Mother's move was probably because she was overly sad and cherished her grandchildren more and more.
"The detoxification pill was a gift from Empress Yang in the past. It was developed based on the prescription she got occasionally when she was a child. Because the medicinal materials are rare, we only got a dozen pills in total." Aunt Qi sat in front of Sheng An. , and said in detail, "Because the Queen Mother was close to Queen Yang, she got one. Over the years, the Queen Mother has kept it properly. Although the medicinal properties must have been lost, the Queen Mother said at the beginning that as long as the seal is not opened, it will last for a period of sixty years." It can still be taken inside.”
Hearing this, Sheng An's eyes flashed with gratitude.
Aunt Qi continued: "The method of acupuncture used by the imperial doctor at this moment was also taught by Empress Yuan. It has the best effect when used in conjunction with the detoxifying pill. Therefore, after the acupuncture is completed, you can give it to King Hui."
Sheng An looked at the medicine box expectantly and nodded slowly.
Because the acupuncture process was long, Aunt Qi expressed some concern for her and her unborn baby on behalf of Queen Mother Qin. The two of them talked and talked about the detoxification pill.
"The elixir belongs to Empress Yang, and it is said that both the Yang family and the Taifu Mansion have it; the Yang family's share was lost due to internal fighting; as for the Taifu Mansion's share, it was lost at the hands of the Queen Mother Rongan."
Queen Mother Rong'an was the late emperor's biological mother. Because the late emperor missed Empress Yang too much, she destroyed all of Empress Yang's belongings with a fire, including the little-known prescription.
It was the first time Sheng An heard this, and she was surprised and regretful.
"Sister." Not long after Aunt Qi left, Sheng Yuan came to visit again.
When Sheng Ran saw her, the sadness in her eyes instantly dissipated, and she stood up as she spoke.
Sheng Yuan didn't dare to let her struggle. As soon as he saw her moving, he ran over to help her: "Just talk, don't stand up!"
After helping her sister back to the couch, Sheng Yuan noticed the green and black eyes under her sister's eyes.
With a sigh, she squeezed her sister's hands tightly, her eyes locked on her face, looking at her face inch by inch, and asked with distress and dissatisfaction: "Sister, I see that you look tired, but you are taking care of King Hui yourself? "
Hearing this, Sheng Ran just smiled and touched her head: "The child is older, so it will inevitably cause trouble for others... Besides, the house has people to take care of it, so there is no need for me to take care of you personally. If you don't care, it will lead to chaos." ”
Sheng Yuan was doubtful, but she couldn't keep questioning it, so she could only advise her: "Sister, regardless of yourself, you have to think about the child in your belly."
"I know it well, don't worry." Sheng Ran smiled gently.
Sheng Yuan could only believe what she said.
So the topic returned to Prince Hui: "Your Majesty, you haven't woken up yet?"
Sheng Ran paused and nodded, with a touch of sadness in her smile: "The imperial doctor said that the toxin is still fading away, and it will not be completely resolved in a short while. It will have to wait."
"It's all good after all." Sheng Yuan comforted her sister, but there was a trace of worry in her heart.
King Hui's injury was not serious, and he had been poisoned for a long time. The detoxifying pill was not a magical elixir. After going through so much trouble... I'm afraid it would be difficult to restore his vitality.
I wonder if Sheng Ran also thought of this. She held Sheng Yuan's hand, as if telling her sister, or saying to herself: "As long as the person is still there, it will be great."
"Yes, sister will get better and better." Feeling that the delicate hands that were always strong were trembling slightly, Sheng Yuan held them back and exerted a slight force, firmly conveying warmth and strength.
…
"Sister Yuan, long time no see."
In the plain streets of the city, Sheng Yuan did not expect to meet Princess Cheng.
What she didn't expect even more was that such a heroic girl looked like an old woman sitting in the carriage at the moment.
If she remembers correctly, Princess Cheng is at an age of forty!
"Princess, please take care of yourself!" Prince Cheng's laughing and scolding face flashed in his mind, and Sheng Yuan's nose felt sore again.
"If Xinlang sees you shed tears, I'm afraid he will laugh at you." Princess Cheng smiled and waved to her, "You want to go back to the house, get in the car, and I will give you a ride."
Sheng Yuan looked at Princess Cheng's washed eyes, paused, and responded: "Then there is Princess Lao!"
"Sister Yuan, do you think there is anyone else in the Lu family?" After Sheng Yuan sat down, the carriage started to move, and Princess Cheng's question came up.
Sheng Yuan did not hide anything about Lu Mansion's discovery.
"If the family dinner were a few days later, wouldn't everything be different?" Princess Cheng slowly closed her eyes and let tears fall from the corners of her eyes.
Sheng Yuan could not answer these words and could only remain silent.
It happened that Princess Cheng didn't want to say anything, so the silence lasted until the carriage stopped.
"Sister Yuan, Prince Cheng's Mansion and Prince Hui's Mansion are only separated by two streets. Could you please tell Princess Hui that if necessary, you can ask someone to find her."
Before Sheng Yuan got off the car, she suddenly heard what Princess Cheng said and instinctively wanted to say something polite, but Princess Cheng also said: "If you need a doctor to stabilize your wife, I can help. There is no need to find someone temporarily."
After saying that, she smiled and waved to Shengyuan, put down the curtain and left.
"???" Sheng Yuan looked at the back of the carriage running away with a question mark on his head.
I originally thought these were just kind words from Princess Cheng, but who would have thought that there was something in her words at the end? !
Although it was still some time before my sister was due to give birth, Prince Hui's Mansion had already prepared the doctor and Wen Po, and even made an appointment with the imperial physician to invite him to stay temporarily in Prince Hui's Mansion until the child was one month old.
Look, everything has been arranged well, how come there is still a shortage of manpower?
Unless... someone is plotting?
Such thoughts shocked Sheng Yuan.
But her shock didn't last long this time, because someone from the palace came to pick her up again!
…
"Sister Yuan, if you are asked to serve as the governor of Shuntian Mansion, will you do a good job for me?"
Queen Mother Qin threw these words as soon as they met, which shocked Sheng Yuan again.
The governor of Shuntian Prefecture?
Isn't this where her brother is sitting now?
Seeing Sheng Yuan's doubts, Empress Dowager Qin told her: "The position of the right minister of the Ministry of Industry is vacant. I intend to transfer your brother to it. If he can do well, it will not be difficult to transfer him to the Ministry of Rites."
From the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion to the Minister of Works, he went from the fourth rank to the third rank. This is a huge leap!
"If he is qualified in the Ministry of Rites, he will not be allowed to be a frontier official in the future."
Huh?
Sheng Yuan felt that the Queen Mother was quite knowledgeable in painting this pie. Based on her understanding of her brother, if he knew about it, he would definitely work hard to show it off.
"So, do you want to be transferred from Dali Temple to Shuntian Mansion?" Seeing that Sheng Yuan did not answer, Queen Mother Qin couldn't help but ask her again.
