"In the past, I did not protect you well and caused you to be framed time and time again. Now, I and Imperial Concubine Xian will do our best to protect you.”The Emperor caressed Zhi Ran's face.
"Thank you, Emperor." Zhi Ran bowed slightly and said," It's just that Consort Dun, what if the Tenth Princess misses the Emperor?”
"Zhen will visit her more often." The Emperor caressed Zhi Ran's face and said," Speaking of Consort Dun, now that you're pregnant, it's time for you to be promoted. Zhen will consult the Empress Dowager. As long as she agrees, zhen will promote you as your concubine.”
"It is ChenQie's duty to give birth to children for the emperor. ChenQie doesn't care if the emperor advances ChenQie's position.”Zhi Ran bowed and said.
The Emperor looked at her and helped her up." I must see you give birth to the child safely…" That affectionate gaze warmed Zhi Ran's heart. "Do you know that out of all the women I have seen, you are the most attractive? So many concubines are pregnant, but I have never been so happy. It's as if…this child is between me and a fairy, and it's a fairy like you, so pure and holy.”
"Thank you emperor for your favor, but how can this concubine be compared to a fairy?”Zhi Ran lowered her head.
As the two of them were chatting happily, Eunuch Bi Quan, who was beside the Empress, arrived. "Emperor, the Empress's cough has acted up again and is now very serious. The imperial physicians of the Imperial Academy of Medicine are taking the Empress 'pulse.”
"Alright, I'll go now." After the Emperor finished speaking, he turned to Zhi Ran and said," Have a good rest. Zhen will go to Changchun Palace to see the Empress."
"Emperor, the empress is sick. ChenQie wants to visit her.”
"No, I don't know if the Empress 'cough is an old illness or an infectious disease. You are pregnant now, so you should rest well.”After saying that, the Emperor hurried to Changchun Palace.
When the Emperor came to Changchun Palace, the Empress was sitting on the bed and Zi Dai was feeding her medicine. Seeing that the Emperor had arrived, the Empress struggled to get off the bed and salute. The Emperor looked at her and rushed to stop her." You don't have to come down to greet me when you see me in the future. Quickly lie down."”Then he turned to ask Zidai,"Where did the imperial physicians go?"”
"ChenQie is fine. The imperial physicians prescribed ChenQie some medicine. ChenQie will be fine after drinking it. The imperial physician said that it was just a cough from before and that it would be fine.”the Empress said with a smile.
"That's good." The Emperor sat at the head of the Empress 'bed, looking at the Empress' pale face and forcing a smile.
In Scenic Yang Palace, Ruoqin sat alone in the hall, waiting for Guxue's good news. Not long after, Gu Xue came in.
"Master! It's done!" Gu Xue was obviously very excited.
"Where did you add the medicine?"
"In her soup."
"Did anyone see you?"
"No, there are many people in the imperial kitchen, and the smoke is heavy.”
"Very good." Ruoqin's expression was very satisfied,"Wang Guanling, bengong wants you to never be able to sing again, never to be favored again!"”
Ruoqin had heard that Xiangzhu had a kind of "mute medicine" that would make people unable to speak for a long time. Even if they were cured, their voices would become hoarse. For someone like Guan Ling who used her singing to attract the Emperor, this medicine was the best.
When Xiang Zhu was demoted and the medicine in the pharmacy was destroyed, Ruoqin secretly left behind a small bottle of "mute medicine" because she had long wanted to use it to make Guan Ling lose her voice. She had been promoted because Guan Ling was sick and could not sing. Ruoqin was very excited.
In Yi Kun Palace, Guan Ling drank some soup and frowned at Che Xuan,""Why is the taste of today's soup exceptionally strange? Bengong doesn't like it, so go and change it to a bowl of Longan Soup.”
"Yes." Che Xuan carried the soup away.
"Empress, the princess is crying again." Nanny carried Princess He Xiao to Guan Ling.
Guan Ling coaxed Hexiao. After a while, Hexiao fell asleep. Guan Ling told Nanny about the princess.
"Tonight, you bring along Hexiao. Bengong needs to rest well. These few days have exhausted Bengong to death.”
"Yes." The nanny took the princess away and left.
The next day, Guan Ling woke up and sat up on the bed." Che Xuan…" Guan Ling felt that something was wrong with her voice. She cleared her throat, but she couldn't.
"Niangniang, are you awake?" said Che Xuan from outside the door. She seemed to have heard Guan Ling's voice.
"Che Xuan! "BenGong's throat…" Guan Ling's voice was hoarse and tears were flowing down her face.
"Empress, what happened to your throat?" Che Xuan frowned and asked," Eunuch Feng! Quickly call Imperial Physician Fan!"
Soon, Imperial Physician Fan arrived. He felt that it was strange when he checked her pulse. "Did the Empress eat something wrong? Otherwise, there won't be any physical signs that you're sick…"
"The Empress 'food has always been personally brought by me from the imperial kitchen, and it's the same as usual?”Che Xuan said," Besides, he was fine last night. Why did he suddenly…Doctor Fan, can he be cured?”
"This…Your Highness, I have never encountered such a case before, so I don't know how confident I am…"
Hearing this, Guan Ling's tears began to fall. "I still want to sing for the emperor!" Guan Ling said in a hoarse voice.
"Sister, have you heard that Wang Guanling's voice has gone hoarse?”Ruoqin sat in Yanxi Palace and said," She'll never be able to sing like this! Let's see what she can use to attract the emperor in the future!”Ruoqin sneered, the corners of her mouth curling up. This expression shocked Zhi Ran.
"Can Consort Dun's throat recover?”The Emperor sat on the bed and asked.
"Replying to the emperor, this lowly official really can't find out why the niangniang is like this. "Maybe it'll be fine after a few days…" Wei Mo said.
"Then take good care of yourself." The Emperor said to Guan Ling," Fan Yuan Cheng, take good care of Consort Dun. There must be no mistakes!”
"Your humble subject obeys."
Just as the Emperor was about to leave, Guan Ling grabbed his hand and looked at him pitifully, as if she was begging him not to leave. When the Emperor saw this, his heart softened and he stayed in Yi Kun Palace.
"Niangniang, Imperial Physician Wei has come to treat Ping An's pulse.”Water Deity said.
"Please."
"This lowly subject greets the Empress." Wei Xuanyun saluted.
After taking his pulse, Wei Xuanyun said,""Your Majesty's fetus is stable, so you can rest assured. This lowly official will prescribe a few more medicines for Your Majesty to stabilize the fetus.”
Zhi Ran nodded. Wei Xuanyun was about to leave when Zhi Ran suddenly stopped him and asked," Consort Dun's voice is hoarse…"
Wei Xuanyun turned around with a blank look on his face. Zhi Ran hesitated whether to say it or not.
"Consort Dun's hoarse voice might not be an accident.”Wei Xuanyun said calmly.
"Why?" This was what Zhi Ran wanted to ask.
"This lowly official once heard of a folk medicine called 'mute medicine.' After taking it, the person's voice will become hoarse in the light case, and in the serious case, they will never be able to speak again.”
" What?!" Zhi Ran widened her eyes.
"Ah! Of course, this is just my conjecture. This is because I have only heard of this medicine and have never seen it before, so I don't know the accuracy of the news. However, Consort Dun really couldn't find the cause of the illness. This lowly official and father had both confirmed this, so it wasn't that simple. Of course, overusing her voice could also cause such a situation, so they still needed to observe for a few more days.”
" How about this…" Zhi Ran said thoughtfully," Lord Wei, BenGong has something that I would like Lord Wei to help with.”
"Please speak, Empress."
"Help BenGong pay attention to Consort Dun's throat at all times. If you discover anything, tell BenGong! Bengong trusts you…"
"I understand."
Zhi Ran nodded.
A few days later, Wei Xuanyun came again to ask for Zhiran's pulse.
"The Empress's fetus is stable and very healthy.”
Zhi Ran smiled as she touched her belly and asked,"Is Consort Dun's voice still the same?”
"This lowly official discussed with Imperial Physician Fan and Father yesterday that Consort Dun's voice would probably never recover.”
"You still haven't found the cause?"
"Not yet."
Zhi Ran frowned and motioned for him to leave.
In the Yi Kun Palace, Guan Ling's temper was getting worse and worse. Sometimes, she would even cry when she lost her temper. The nannies didn't dare to bring Princess He Xiao to Guan Ling's side, afraid that she would hurt the princess. When the Emperor found out, he was furious.
"If your voice is hoarse, treat it well. Do you know how bad this temper will affect Kazuhiko?”The Emperor scolded the sobbing Guan Ling,"You can't even control your temper, how can you be a mother!" Men! Bring He Xiao to Jia Fei!"
"No! Emperor! If ChenQie doesn't cherish her throat anymore, please leave the filial piety to ChenQie!”Guan Ling kneeled on the ground and begged in a hoarse voice.
"If you really feel sorry for him, then be a good mother. I have already instructed the Imperial Academy of Medicine to do their best to treat you.”The Emperor placed his hands behind his back and frowned as he looked at Guan Ling.
" Yes…" Nanny reported Princess He Xiao to Guan Ling. Guan Ling hugged her tightly, her tears falling on He Xiao's cheeks. The sleeping Princess He Xiao had her eyes closed, completely unaware of what had happened.
The Emperor didn't say anything more to Guan Ling. He looked at her and said,"Yanxi Palace."
" Set off at Yanxi Palace!" Yuan Qing shouted. Then, he bent down and followed behind the Emperor. Guan Ling knelt on the ground and hugged He Xiao. Her face was full of tears as she helplessly watched the Emperor leave. She knew that no matter how hard she tried to persuade him to stay, the Emperor would not stop. She hated Zhi Ran, but she couldn't do anything about it.
"Sister, I heard that Wang Guanling's voice is completely hoarse. The Emperor will no longer be staying with her.”Ruoqin sat on the couch and took a sip of tea." Who asked him to always use his singing to steal the Emperor's attention? Let's see what she can use to fight for the Emperor's favor now!" It was just that she gave birth to a daughter. This was her retribution!”
Zhi Ran sat at the side and didn't look at her. However, when she heard Ruoqin's words, her heart couldn't help but tighten. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She turned to Ruoqin and said,""If only it was retribution. I'm afraid that someone harmed her.”# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
