It can also be seen from the font of the letter and the signature at the end that this letter was written by Zhao Yanzhen.
But his letter only said that this person was trustworthy and that he had arranged for his mother.
Thinking of the secret letter I received from Zhao Yanzhen a few days ago, he also said that someone would be arranged to be with them in the near future.
At this time, the letter on Mrs. Qiu's body matched that of Zhao Yanzhen.
Therefore, Qiu Wan did not treat Madam Qiu as coldly as before. She smiled and said, "It turns out that we are all of our own kind, but I don't know that Madam Qiu is so good at medicine, why doesn't she get into Qianjin? Instead, she dresses up like this."
After hearing this, Mrs. Qiu took the initiative to reveal her identity: "I had indeed planned to enter the Qianjin Department before, but during the written examination of the Imperial Medical Bureau, my child fell ill, which delayed the written examination, so later I never had the chance to enter the palace again. Later, I happened to be treating Chen Yanrong, the eldest daughter of the Chen family, in the Chen family. Seeing that I had some medical skills, Mrs. Chen asked me to accompany her to the palace to treat the empress. I heard that the empress was sick. I naturally agreed immediately.”
"After all, His Highness Prince Jin has been very kind to me. If it hadn't been for his help, my husband would have died unjustly in prison. So when I heard that he had something to ask for, I agreed immediately, but I never thought about it. After this opportunity to repay my kindness, I actually waited for half a year before receiving another letter from him."
After listening to Mrs. Qiu's words, Qiu Wan couldn't help but be surprised by Zhao Yanzhen's advance planning.
After all, this Lady Qiu was obviously the one he had arranged half a year ago. However, half a year ago, who would have expected that Queen Min would fall ill, and the imperial doctor in the palace would be so untrustworthy.
But it is precisely because of this that Qiu Wan trusts the other party more and more.
Qiu Wan only said to Lady Qiu, "We will all be our own people from now on, so you don't have to be too restrained. The Queen's health will be left to you."
Mrs. Qiu said yes and went down.
After dealing with Lady Qiu, Qiu Wan thought about it and decided to hide Lady Qiu's matter from the Queen.
So she just put the two letters back into her pocket. After doing this, she reappeared in front of the Queen.
Although Empress Min didn't want to be sick, she still asked, "Qiu Wan, why were you gone for so long just now?"
Qiu Wan could only say softly, "After all, she belongs to Mrs. Chen. Although she is telling the truth, I still don't want my empress to be dragged into the water by her."
When Queen Min heard this, she didn't say much. She just closed her eyes quietly and said in a very tired voice, "Qiu Wan, can you guess who ordered the imperial physician who prescribed the medicine for me?"
Hearing this, Qiu Wan only said, "Didn't the empress say that the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor was just an accident?".
"Accident? Wan'er, I just said what I said for outsiders to hear. No one in the palace is a human being, and the old men in the Taiyuan Hospital are even more human beings. If no one tells them, they will only know Even the old doctor who treats me conservatively would not dare to treat me with such a risky prescription." Queen Min said softly.
Hearing Queen Min's words, Qiu Wan's face turned pale. She just looked around and made sure that there was no one around. Then she carefully said her guess, "What do you mean..." His Majesty?"
After saying that, Qiu Wan immediately fell silent again, as if she had mentioned something that shouldn't be mentioned.
Queen Min didn't care when she heard this. She nodded happily, and then said softly, "Qiu Wan, you guessed it right. Without His Majesty's intention, those old men would not dare to use medicine like this."
"As for Concubine Yuxian, I have been with her for so many years. I know her temperament very well. After all these years, if she really has such ambitions, there is no reason why that person should not support her. After all, the relationship between her natal family is comparable to The original Concubine Zhang was much easier to use, and her temperament was much more stable than Concubine Zhang."
"And if she is really ambitious, that person will not let her raise Prince Liang with confidence. She has not been able to conceive her own child for so many years. Everyone knows the reason why, but So what if she knows, it’s not like she can’t change anything. Even now, she has raised Prince Liang, but Prince Liang doesn’t even have anyone close to her. With such a person, I really can’t imagine why she would get involved in this. Are you coming out of troubled waters?" When she said this, a mocking smile appeared on the corners of Queen Min's lips, but then the smile turned into a bitter smile and a sigh.
I don't know who the smile is mocking, and who the sigh is sighing for.
Even when Qiu Wan heard Queen Min's analysis, she couldn't help but sigh for Concubine Yuxian.
After all, in this harem, what seems beautiful may not really be beautiful, and what seems blessed may not really be blessed.
Queen Min paused for a moment, and then continued, "It's not that I can't see Wenqin's thoughts. To put it bluntly, she wanted to provoke me to fight Concubine Yuxian, but from the beginning, my enemy was not from the harem. This group of people, in the final analysis, are just consumables for that person to consolidate his power. If I take the initiative to fight with Concubine Yuxian, it will be like dragging myself down into the quagmire and handing over the right to judge to others."
"I just didn't expect that even a woman in my harem could see the political knot. Why didn't they understand? If this continues, the Chen family will probably die sooner or later. It's a pity that Wenqin and my brother are both looking at each other. The short-sighted people do not understand that it is not King Liang or the Gao family who really want to harm them."
Speaking of this, Empress Min felt an unbearable heartache. In fact, she only saw clearly what happened next today.
Thinking of the moment of tenderness that person showed at the funeral that day, it turned out to be just a false dream.
Then she said with great effort, "Qiu Wan, I really can't trust Wen Qin. She likes to make her own decisions, and sometimes she even pretends to convey my brother's intentions. Why don't you just write a letter based on what I said to you today?" Letter, and then send it to someone trustworthy to remind my brother."
After listening to Queen Min's words, Qiu Wan only said yes. Then, after waiting for Queen Min to lie down, she went to the desk nearby to study ink and write a letter.
After wording the letter, she simply gave it to Queen Min for review.
It wasn't until Queen Min nodded after looking at it that she withdrew, saying only that she was going to find someone for Queen Min who could alert the Chen family.
However, when she went out, she only burned the letter she had just written in a corner.
And the reason why she did this was naturally because of Zhao Yanzhen's arrangement.
Zhao Yanzhen's meaning was very clear, he did not want to suffer together with the Chen family. But now the Chen family is clearly dancing on the cliff. If they don't want to be dragged into the trap by the Chen family, they can't touch the things that the Chen family has done. Even the correspondence should not be in the hands of the other party.
Fortunately, before that, in order to gain a foothold in the harem, Queen Min had almost no involvement in the affairs of the Chen family, and the Chen family had no intention of letting her share the pie.
But today Queen Min's intention is obviously to encourage her brother. If such a letter finally falls into the hands of Emperor Yong, this will be the best evidence that she was pulled down.
What's more, in fact, before Queen Min's instigation, the Chen family had already had such disobedient intentions. However, when they wanted to bring Queen Min to discuss important matters together, they were stopped by His Highness King Jin.
When Prince Jin went to the Chen Mansion that day, it was the day when the harem was on fire. Queen Min did not go because of matters in the palace. However, Prince Jin pretended to cooperate with the Chen family after filing a report with his father.
It's a pity that the Chen family's allies are almost under control at this time.
Afterwards, with a combination of pressure and strong sticks, Queen Min's brother finally gave up his thoughts.
Nowadays, the Chen family is just a turtle in a urn, so Qiu Wan is even less likely to involve Empress Min in it.
After burning the letter, Qiu Wan returned to her room.
However, as soon as she entered the house, she saw a white homing pigeon parked on her window sill.
The pigeon was not afraid of people, and it did not dodge when Qiu Wan came over, and Qiu Wan could clearly see that a bamboo tube was tied to its paw.
Qiu Wan grabbed a handful of millet from the small bowl on the shelf and put it in the palm of her hand.
Seeing this, the pigeon hurriedly came over to peck at the millet. When it came forward to peck at the millet, Qiu Wan grabbed the pigeon and then took off the mailbox from the pigeon's calf.
After taking off the mailbox, it put down the white dove. The white dove was free and just pecked at the millet grains on the windowsill as usual.
After reading the letter, Qiu Wan only frowned slightly. This letter was sent by Zhao Yanzhen from Yunzhou to report that he was safe.
In the past, there were always three pieces of paper on this page of letters, one for my mother and one for her.
There is another one for Jiang Nianjiao.
However, the reply this time was only two pieces of paper.
The first letter only stated that he had been attacked several times, but the danger was not great. He just told them not to worry, and then wrote about how to control the situation in Beijing. But he just skipped the letter he would have sent to Jiang Nianjiao in the past.
If Miss Jiang knew about it, she would probably have wild thoughts in her heart.
Therefore, after reading the contents of the letter, Qiu Wan felt that it was better not to let others see the letter, otherwise it would inevitably cause trouble when it reached Miss Jiang.
Therefore, she simply burned the first page of letter paper and the second page of letter paper together.
However, the letter that should be answered still had to be answered. Qiu Wan only wrote one reply to Zhao Yanzhen. Then when she finished writing the letter and re-entered the small letter box, the pigeon had obviously eaten the millet grains. At this moment, it He was cleaning his feathers leisurely.
And when Qiu Wan caught it, it seemed calm.
After doing this, Qiuwan released the carrier pigeon from Fengchen Palace.
It wasn't until the dove flew into the distance that her figure could no longer be seen clearly that she turned around and returned to the palace.
After returning, Queen Min asked her why she had been away for so long before coming back.
When Qiu Wan heard this, she naturally just told a lie to cover it up.
