Zhaoqing Palace.
Compared with the luxury and magnificence of the palace, this place looks very different.
As soon as you enter the palace gate, you first see a pond in the corner, with a pavilion set up in it, and the sunlight is spreading and the waves are beautiful.
The pond is full of green pods wandering around, as if covered with brocade, and the water waves are becoming greener and clearer.
The crabapple tree on the shore is not in season, but it is blooming extremely luxuriantly, with layers of petals.
Such unique little scenes can be seen everywhere. Everywhere you look, you can see taste and unusual sentiment.
Xia Yunxian followed the maid in front around the long corridor and finally arrived at the main hall, where a faint floral fragrance lingered around.
At this time, a beautiful and charming concubine was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch in front of the window. A bunch of crabapples stretched into the window sill and swayed in the wind on her black hair.
She closed her eyes, her expression was indifferent but charming, which made people feel refreshed and relaxed, and they couldn't help but want to explore what kind of dream she fell into.
With just one glance, Xia Yunxian understood Concubine Chen's honor and favor. How could such a beauty in the world not win the heart of an emperor?
"My wife, please give my regards to your Majesty."
She said hello softly, and when Concubine Chen turned around, a bit of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She had heard Xia Yunxian's name a long time ago and thought she looked like a dignified and old-fashioned woman. Unexpectedly, she was more smart and elegant than she imagined.
A meaningful chuckle sounded. Xia Yunxian raised his eyes and met Concubine Chen's probing gaze.
"Your Majesty, please ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look." The nanny who was standing next to her could not help but speak. The person recommended by Master Bai always made people uneasy.
With such a young woman, it is hard not to think that there is some personal relationship here.
The empress's precious body cannot withstand the torment.
Concubine Chen had a friendly smile on her face, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and her brows were moving, "It makes Madam Prince laugh. I am always outspoken, and my temper has become worse especially since I have been ill recently."
"Madam, can you take her pulse so that she can feel at ease?"
Xia Yunxian knew that she did not look like a medical practitioner, and Concubine Chen did not completely believe her. Although her words were polite, they also had a hint of consideration.
In this harem, it is impossible not to have a few minds.
She nodded slightly, and Nanny Zhang stepped forward and stretched out her hand, but there was no concealed vigilance in her eyes.
"At the beginning of spring every year, do you often have a hot head and abdominal pain? Once it occurs, your fingers will turn black and purple, as if they were pricked by needles?" After a while, Xia Yunxian already had a diagnosis.
There was a leisurely silence in the hall.
Grandma Zhang's expression finally relaxed a little.
She has had this problem for more than ten years and has never mentioned it to anyone, not even the empress.
In the past, I always quietly consulted the doctor and took medicine, but it never worked. As I got older and older, I became even more miserable when I got sick.
"Mrs. Shizi...do you have a recipe?"
Concubine Chen on the side immediately raised her eyebrows. Looking at Nanny Zhang's face, did she get the diagnosis right?
He just said this casually because he saw that she was not doing things neatly recently. He really didn't know that she was still sick.
Xia Yunxian smiled lightly and nodded, "Mommy is suffering from Fuxie. On weekdays, attacks can be tolerated, but once spring comes next year, it may be fatal."
Her words made Grandma Zhang shudder. Indeed, the pain at the beginning of spring was so painful that she almost couldn't make it through this year!
"My wife will write down some prescriptions in a moment. There is no need for me to worry, my mother's condition is more important."
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
Nanny Zhang immediately put on a grateful expression. She had secretly asked the little imperial doctor before, but the attitude of those people was obviously not as confident as Xia Yunxian's, and their vague words did not look shrewd.
I was so rude just now. Master Bai wants to win over his wife, how can he just push a confidante over?
Concubine Chen's smile deepened. She turned to look at her father-in-law who was guarding outside the door, hooked her fingers and said, "You, come in and let the Crown Prince have a look."
At this moment, she was full of curiosity about Xia Yunxian. How capable was this woman?
After receiving the order, the old father-in-law immediately stepped into the hall with great respect. Xia Yunxian only took one look and said, "You can tell the disease by looking at its shape. Does your father-in-law have stomach pain all year round? No matter how many stomach medicines you take, it doesn't work, and you are hungry or it's cold." Does the pain get worse when it’s slightly cold?”
The father-in-law immediately changed his expression and hurriedly knelt down, "You are right, Madam Prince, can this slave's disease be cured?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Nanny Zhang glare at him, and then she reacted, "You deserve to die, this slave, please resign!"
How could he have forgotten that he was just a servant, so he couldn't delay his wife's medical treatment!
But the excitement on his face could not be suppressed. Concubine Chen saw it and already had some concerns in her heart.
This prince’s wife is truly extraordinary.
These two people in her palace cannot be bought casually.
At this time, the noble concubine slowly sat up and frowned slightly. Xia Yunxian saw it and knew that Concubine Chen was not putting on airs. The reason why she kept lying down was because she felt uncomfortable.
At this moment, Concubine Chen gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen and looked at the begonia flower outside the window.
"If my children can survive, they can all pick flowers right now, right?"
Her expression was no longer as comfortable as before, but was covered with a cold hatred, but she was still infinitely charming, but her beauty was sharp.
It had been so long, but the unwillingness in her heart had never diminished.
Looking at Concubine Chen's expression, Xia Yunxian already understood that her miscarriage was probably not an accident.
There are so many dirty tricks in this palace. For a favored and pregnant concubine, who is serving her every day with her head raised, how can there be any surprises?
Who on earth could have the ability to harm Concubine Chen and still be safe?
Counting carefully, there were not many people in the palace.
At this time, Concubine Chen gently lifted up her gold-edged brocade, revealing her snow-like lotus-rooted arms. Xia Yunxian immediately placed his fingertips on her beating pulse.
Soon, Xia Yunxian's voice brought back Concubine Chen's thoughts.
"Your Majesty's pulse is long and strong, and it is strong when pressed hard. This is the subdued qi turning into heat." After talking about the pulse, she added, "You suffered a cold in the spring and had a fever at that time. You recovered quickly, but In late spring, the empress felt abdominal distension and pain, and her bowel movements were not smooth."
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Chen's face turned red.
The concubines in the harem would not be willing to call the imperial doctor for any minor illness or pain unless they could not bear it.
After all, there are differences between men and women, and there are many secrets that cannot be spoken. If it is delayed, the condition will easily worsen.
This is the case with Concubine Chen.
"Madam, please look at this. This is the prescription that the empress used before." Aunt Zhang respectfully handed over a prescription. Xia Yunxian just glanced at it and said, "This is Chengqi Decoction, but it has no effect."
"Madam is right! You must have a way to cure me!"
Nanny Zhang was even more excited than Concubine Chen. At this moment, she looked at Xia Yunxian with the same disdain as before. She felt that the Crown Prince's wife was enveloped in a faint halo, which was extremely sacred.
She is here to help her mother-in-law get through this difficult time!
