Concubine Jing said a few more words to the Queen Mother, then turned to ask the imperial doctor, "Mr. Wang, how is the Queen Mother's health today?"
Doctor Wang raised his hands and said: "The Queen Mother's health is much better today than yesterday, but she still needs to rest."
The middle-aged woman nodded to show that she understood. She gently rubbed her eyes with one hand and tightened her brows. "My eyes were red and swollen a few days ago. After taking the medicine you prescribed for me, they never got better. I even got worse." It’s getting more serious, what’s going on?”
Since Imperial Physician Wang is a close confidant of Concubine De, and his ancestors were indeed imperial physicians in the palace, the concubines in the palace have a filter for Imperial Physician Wang, always feeling that he can cure all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases, and He has the most skillful medical skills in Tai Hospital, and Concubine Jing is no exception.
So when my eyes started to be red and swollen, I asked Dr. Wang for some medicine, but I kept taking it, but it never felt better, which made me a little anxious.
The Queen Mother turned to look at Concubine Jing, and easily saw her red and swollen eyes, "What's going on? Why is it so red? Does it hurt?"
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. It hurts a little and is itchy. I don't know what's going on."
"Mr. Wang, what is going on? Why has Concubine Jing's eyes become more serious?"
Doctor Wang quickly saluted. His first reaction was not to tell the cause of the disease, but to excuse himself.
"To the Queen Mother, to the Concubine Jing, the weather has suddenly turned cold in the past few days, and the Concubine Jing's body is too weak, so this situation occurs. As for... As for why it suddenly became serious, it must be one of them. The medicinal materials are not suitable for Concubine Jing's body, that's why it is like this. Rong Chen will prescribe a new prescription, and the medicine will definitely cure the disease."
Lin Qingwan turned his head to listen to the imperial doctor's words, with a slightly mocking expression on his face.
I don’t even know what the cause of the disease is, but I have the nerve to say that the medicine will cure it. Now it is certain that this Dr. Wang has an empty title, but is actually a quack doctor.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother showed a thoughtful look on her face. The room was quiet for about five seconds. Lin Qingwan's name was suddenly called out by the Queen Mother, "Qingwan, you happen to be here. Show Concubine Jing what's going on." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Qingwan turned around, Concubine Jing also subconsciously looked towards this place,
However, the former's attitude is magnanimous, while the latter's attitude is somewhat guilty.
It's a pity that Lin Qingwan didn't give Concubine Jing face. When she heard this, she smiled and said, "The Queen Mother, I showed Concubine Jing yesterday, but she didn't believe that she had an eye disease. Only one day later, Concubine Jing The empress probably won’t change her mind easily.”
Concubine Jing moved her body slightly forward and wanted to say something but in the end she remained silent. She looked embarrassed and said, "Qingwan, it's not that I didn't believe you yesterday, it's just... it's just..."
The Queen Mother noticed Lin Qingwan's change in attitude very keenly. She had been in the harem for so many years, and she didn't sit in this position for no reason.
Almost instantly, she guessed the conflict between the two, and guessed that the conflict was caused by Concubine Jing.
Although the time they got together was short, she could see Lin Qingwan's character and would not harm others casually. If someone offended her, she would naturally not forgive him casually.
"Jing Fei, what is going on?" the Queen Mother asked, picking up the teacup on the table and taking a sip.
"The Queen Mother, it's actually nothing, it's just..." Before Concubine Jing could finish her words, the Queen Mother directly put the tea cup on the table with a "dong" sound, full of majesty, "The Ai family wants to hear you tell the truth, not with those people. I usually just make up a few lies to deceive the Ai family."
As she said that, she turned around and looked at Concubine Jing, "You have been in the Ai family's palace for many years. Don't you still know how the Ai family handles things? The Ai family has always hated people who are clever and charming."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was really angry, Concubine Jing became anxious immediately and stood up and knelt down, "Empress Dowager, don't be angry, it's just... I just came into the palace late yesterday morning and said that my eyes were sick. I... I don't want to believe me. I was sick, so I gave him a few scoldings, but apart from this, there was really nothing else."
The Queen Mother understood, she leaned back, moved her lips, and finally waved her hand towards Lin Qingwan, "Qingwan, you follow the nuns out and go to the small kitchen to see when breakfast will be ready."
This meant pushing the person away openly. Lin Qingwan stood up and saluted, nodded lightly, "Yes."
The Queen Mother wanted to reprimand Concubine Jing, and it was really inappropriate for this junior to be present, not only because she wanted to save Concubine Jing's face, but also because some words should not be heard by too many people.
The people in the room left, leaving only the Queen Mother, Concubine Jing, and the Queen Mother's personal maid.
The Queen Mother's brows tightened, "Do you know why the Ai family asked Qingwan and everyone else to leave?"
Concubine Jing pursed her lips, raised her head and glanced at her, "I did something wrong, so... so the Queen Mother wants to pull me back from the side road."
Concubine Jing had a close relationship with the Queen Mother, and she was always by her side, so she did not call herself "concubine" but directly addressed her as "I".
Hearing this, the Queen Mother breathed out softly, with a melancholy expression on her face, "You are also a woman who came out of the harem. When you first entered the palace, how many people didn't like you? How many people have framed you? Don’t you know it in your own mind?”
"If the Ai family hadn't always protected you, how could you have given birth to Qian Chen? Including later, if the Ai family hadn't let you and Qian Chen stay with the Ai family, you mother and son would have been brutally murdered long ago. Could it be that these Have you forgotten?"
These few words instantly brought back those bad memories of Concubine Jing. Her body trembled slightly and her breathing was not smooth, "I...how dare I forget? I will remember the Queen Mother's kindness for the rest of my life. "
"The Ai family does not want you to remember the kindness of the Ai family. Your Yuan family is full of loyal people, and you have given birth to a dragon son. It is right for the Ai family to protect you. But... think about it from another angle, if I had treated you so well back then. Just like you did to Qingwan, do you still have today?"
As expected, the authorities were confused by the onlookers. As soon as these words came out, Concubine Jing's whole body froze and she didn't speak for a long time.
"Have you forgotten how much hardship you have endured along the way? Concubine Jing, sitting in this position is not for you to be harsh on your daughter-in-law."
Concubine Jing's tears fell uncontrollably. She raised her head, moved to the Queen Mother on her knees, and then began to cry bitterly.
"The Queen Mother, it's not that I'm cruel, it's just... you know that the person Qian Chen belongs to in his heart is not the eldest daughter of the Lin family. If she hadn't used such despicable means to marry into the palace, how could she have Will she become my daughter-in-law? There are so many people outside talking about it and laughing at us!"
