Wen Jin came to the palace, met with the Queen, and then saw her "sickness".
Only then did she realize that the Queen had asked her to treat Uncle Dou Guo?
Also... Uncle Dou Guo is a foreigner, how could he be recruited to the inner palace to see a doctor?
Wen Jin looked at Princess Lan Yue, who was lying in a small hall, dying, with sores on her face and a stench all over her body.
She just couldn't laugh or cry...
What does it mean that pitiable people must be hateful, and hateful people must be pitiful?
Princess Lan Yue perfectly interprets this sentence.
Oh, and there’s that phrase “do it or die.”
She could have died a dignified death.
And now, although she is a princess, lying in the most respected Fengqi Palace - although it is a very remote small palace - but in such an embarrassing, dirty and disgusting way, it must not be the way she wants to die, right?
Wen Jin didn't even come forward. She glanced at Princess Lan Yue from a distance, then turned around and came out.
"Reporting to your Majesty, my daughter-in-law cannot cure the princess's illness."
The queen looked at her and sighed.
"Even the imperial doctors said they couldn't cure it... I thought that because you studied under Jiang Yuanpan and were willing to study hard, you might be better than the old guys from the imperial hospital!"
The Queen's eyes fell heavily on Wen Jin, as if full of praise and expectation.
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows.
what? Use a high hat to trap her?
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary." Wen Jin replied lukewarmly.
The queen is waiting for her next step.
But she actually...has nothing to say?
"Ahem..." The queen coughed heavily, "Even if she can't be cured, you can always make her suffer less if you are here, right?
"She is still so young, and she is only halfway through her wonderful life... at least let her go with dignity.
"If she can suffer less in her last period of time, I, the mother-in-law, will at least feel better!"
As the Queen Mother spoke, she began to cry, unable to wipe her tears with a handkerchief.
Wen Jin looked suspicious...
So, what does this have to do with her?
The Queen wants Princess Lan Yue to spend her last moments with dignity... Then she should take care of it herself!
She wanted her old mother's heart to be comforted, so wouldn't it be more comforting for her to scrub it herself?
"Jin'er, you have superb medical skills and you are a woman. If you can stay in Fengqi Palace to accompany Lan Yue... I will be relieved! Lan Yue will be able to finish this journey well."
The Queen's eyes were red and she looked at Wen Jin pitifully.
Did she think that Wen Jin would be soft-hearted?
Wen Jin sneered in his heart, "That's inappropriate."
"What's wrong?" The queen pressed the armrest of the chair and stared at her, looking very shocked.
What's wrong? you still need to ask? Do you want to be ashamed?
Wen Jin almost rolled his eyes at her, "My wife doesn't want to do it, and the prince doesn't agree with it either. I think my father won't agree with it either. The empress is wishful thinking, which is very inappropriate."
"What did you say?!" The queen's face was furious, "How dare you talk to me like this? Do you still have filial piety in your eyes? Do you have any manners?"
Wen Jin coughed lightly and lowered his voice and said, "Do you know what kind of disease Princess Lan Yue has, and aren't you afraid of catching it?
"Even if you love your daughter more than anything else... aren't you afraid of being infected?
"The princess has been married and built a palace for a long time. She does not live in the princess's palace, but she is taken into the palace when she is sick... Is this really in line with etiquette and filial piety?
"Did the Queen Mother hide this from the Emperor? Does the Queen Mother know about it? Does she agree?
"If the empress even hides this from the Queen Mother...then your filial piety..."
Wen Jin smiled and slowly closed his mouth.
The queen's expression changed several times. She stared at Wen Jin, as if she wanted to drink her blood and eat her flesh.
"Don't use the Queen Mother to oppress me!" the queen said sternly, "Since you entered Fengqi Palace today, if you don't take care of Lan Yue, you can't even think of leaving!"
Before the Queen finished speaking, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from outside the palace.
"Mother! You can't go in! You can't go in!"
"Everyone, get out of my way! I'm here to say hello to my sister! Get out of the way!"
Wen Jin heard this sassy voice very familiar.
She turned her face and saw, sure enough, her mother-in-law, Concubine Shu, was here.
Her handsome mother-in-law punched one by one, kicked one by one, and knocked them all over the floor!
Although there are many people in Fengqi Palace.
But Concubine Shu was good at martial arts, and the palace people did not dare to really hurt her.
She dared to hurt someone, so she kicked him. The palace man covered his chest and couldn't get up for a long time.
"Sister! Let me just say, I saw my sister fine yesterday! Why is she sick?
"They are all these desperate dog slaves! They dare to curse my sister to get sick! They should all be sent to the Shenxing Department and given a good beating!"
Concubine Shu smiled brightly and burst into the main hall heroically.
The queen's eyelids and mouth corners were twitching...
"I've seen Concubine Shu! Her kung fu is so amazing! No wonder the prince has talent, it turns out he was born in his mother's womb!"
Wen Jin stood up and saluted, his voice delicate and sweet.
Concubine Shu laughed and took her hand affectionately.
"Oh, I can't do it anymore! Ten years ago, these dog slaves couldn't even get close to me! It's been too long since I've been in actual combat, and I'm rusty!"
The Queen raised her hand to cover her heart...it hurt!
It hurts so much!
How could the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show harmony in front of her?
"Is my sister really sick? I think she looks pretty good? What's wrong with her?
"Jin'er, you have to give the Queen a good look. The Queen works very hard in managing the Sixth Palace!
"Although there is help from Concubine Zhuang's sister... But if the Queen cannot bear this tiredness, I am afraid she will have to ask the Emperor...
"Simply ask Concubine Zhuang to hold the Phoenix Seal, so that the Queen can really rest."
Concubine Shu hasn't finished her words yet.
The queen put down her hand covering her heart and sat upright.
"I'm fine! Concubine Shu, you are so brave, you dare to hit the palace servants of Fengqi Palace!" The queen glared angrily.
Concubine Shu stared innocently and in shock.
She already looked childish, and her expression at this time was even more innocent.
"They cursed my sister for being sick, but they didn't ask me to come to pay my respects to her! How could there be such a bold and impudent palace official?
"I couldn't bear to see my sister being deceived by the slaves, so I taught them a lesson... If my sister is angry...
"I'll be fine if I don't help my sister teach slave Diao a lesson next time!"
The queen had just raised it halfway in one breath and was about to take the opportunity to punish her.
Unexpectedly, the second half of her sentence choked people to death.
"Oh, that's right! I'm not just here to pay my respects to the Queen! I'm also here on the orders of the Queen Mother."
Concubine Shu smiled and looked at Wen Jin, "The Queen Mother is angry with you! She said you haven't come to the palace to see her for so long. When I entered the palace today, I didn't go to see the Queen Mother first, so I sent a maid! It's so disrespectful. You understand etiquette!"
The queen was shocked when she heard this...
No wonder Wen Jin dared to speak so freely to her! It turns out that she already had a backup plan!
However, I sent my nanny to accompany her all the way, but I didn’t see her bringing her maid, let alone her maid to inform the Queen Mother?
The queen suspected...this was Concubine Shu's excuse! There is no such thing as "the Queen Mother's decree" at all!
She narrowed her eyes... She couldn't be fooled by Concubine Shu! Why not find a way to detain both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
"Prince Huai has arrived——" the palace people sang loudly.
"King Huai is staying behind. The Queen is in poor health and is resting. Don't disturb her!"
