Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Jiang Lianzhu noticed something was wrong when she checked the pulse of the Crown Prince and Concubine Xi.Not only did the prince have health problems, but Concubine Xi also had health problems.

And her body has nothing to do with this poison, there were already problems before this.

She originally wanted to say something when she found out the pulse, but Concubine Xi secretly winked at her, so she didn't say anything.I think Concubine Lai Xi already knew this.

When Jiang Lianzhu stepped into the bedroom, Concubine Xi was the only one leaning on the bed, squinting her eyes and closing her eyes to rest, her whole body seemed as weak as she had lost her energy.

"See you, Imperial Concubine." Jiang Lianzhu stood in front of her bed and saluted.

When Concubine Xi opened her eyes, her face had regained its former look, but there was still a bit of exhaustion in her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes slightly curved: "You sit down for a while and have a sip of tea. I want to chat with you for a few words. No courtesy is needed."

Jiang Lianzhu responded with a smile: "Yes." Then she stood up, sat down at a table not far away, and poured a cup of hot tea. She was elegant and did not feel restrained or rude at all.

"I think you already know about my physical condition." Concubine Xi sighed with a sad tone, "I have been feeling ill since before winter. At first, I thought it was just a minor symptom and didn't take it to heart. Later, I thought it was just a minor symptom. He found that he was getting more and more tired and had headaches from time to time. Jiang Fenxiang secretly asked the imperial doctor to see him, but he found that his body was not well anymore, and the imperial doctor was helpless about it. "

"Your Majesty's illness is caused by overwork. It is suitable for you to rest peacefully and not work too hard." Jiang Lianzhu said truthfully.

Concubine Xi is in charge of the Sixth Palace and has a lot of affairs. She also has to personally check the homework of the third prince. Over time, she will inevitably get sick from exhaustion.

"I have no choice. For the sake of the third prince, I cannot give up my right to control the harem. Only by my presence can I help the third prince to stabilize his position." Concubine Xi also knew this truth. She smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "It's a matter of course. It concerns the future of the third prince, so I hope you can keep this matter a secret for me."

"The most important thing in this harem is women and heirs. Only by firmly holding the power in your hands is the most real thing."

She had also expected unrealistic things when she first entered the palace in the early years. After being in the palace for so many years, she had already seen through it.

Knowing that Concubine Xi was planning to let her body continue to overdraw, Jiang Lianzhu couldn't agree, but she also knew that what she said was the truth, so she remained silent for a long time and did not speak out to advise.

"Don't worry, Madam, the daughter of the people will not spread this matter."

After receiving Jiang Lianzhu's assurance, Concubine Xi's eyebrows soothed and she continued, "I have one more request. I hope Miss Jiang can help me with secret diagnosis and treatment."

"As long as your Majesty is unable to rest, the daughter of the people will not be able to help her recover. She can only do her best to nurse you back to health," Jiang Lianzhu replied honestly.

"That's fine." Concubine Xi smiled and nodded, "Then I'll trouble Miss Jiang."

Jiang Lianzhu gave Concubine Xi a new prescription and agreed to come in every month to take her pulse before leaving.

After leaving the palace, she went straight to the six gates, but was told that Liao Yunchuan was not at the house.

She was wondering if Liao Yunchuan had returned to her mansion, and was planning to ask Yang Fei, but Yang Fei had already received the news and rushed over.

"Madam, the boss has already set off for the Jiangnan area." He hurried over and met Jiang Lianzhu coming out of the study.

"Didn't he say that he would take care of his official duties in two days before leaving?" Hearing this, Jiang Lianzhu frowned slightly.

"Madam, I don't know. Not long after you entered the palace this morning, news came from the palace that the eldest prince had found a witness. The boss felt that the situation was urgent, so he decided to leave first." Yang Fei replied.

Jiang Lianzhu was shocked. She didn't expect something to happen so quickly. She quickly asked, "Is there any specific information about that witness?"

Yang Fei shook his head, his brows full of helplessness: "No, the palace has kept this matter tightly covered. We only know that there is such a person, and King Zhenbei can't find any clues."

Seeing that she was really worried, Yang Fei added: "There is no accurate news from the palace yet. Prince Xiang and the others are still safe now."

No news is the best news. Jiang Lianzhu also calmed down and could only look for opportunities to go in and deliver medicine to the prince depending on the situation.

Now that the witness has been found, everyone's attention is focused on this. Venturing into the prison these days will inevitably attract attention. If someone is suspected, the matter will only become more complicated.

Just thinking about what the Prime Minister said in the prison, I always feel worried.

The prince had been bedridden for many years. After recovering from the illness, he drank decoctions and medicine to recover, and he was no different from ordinary people.But Prince Xiang and his wife are already middle-aged after all, and the princess has a weak foundation. Whether she can withstand the punishment is another matter.

What is even more worrying is whether the crown prince will be beaten because of the execution of Prince Xiang and his wife. If this is the case, even if the grievances of Prince Xiang's palace are cleared, the crown prince has already committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Hey, I don't know when this matter will come to an end." Jiang Lianzhu said, shaking her head sadly.

It's been almost a year, and I just hope that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible.

Because Liao Yunchuan ordered Yang Fei to follow Jiang Lianzhu to protect their safety, Yang Fei simply followed him back to Lihuawan. This time An Yi and Wu Tong were both sent to Jiangnan by Liao Yunchuan. Recently, Liao Xiaole and Liao Yang Fei came to Xiao An's martial arts class.

Because King Zhenbei was busy investigating the case of Prince Xiang's Mansion recently, Liao Xiaoan went to Prince Zhenbei's Mansion every day instead of once every two days. Even Tang Minglang was directly thrown over by King Zhenbei and asked to follow Liao Xiaoan and Liao Xiaole and Liao Xiaole did morning exercises together.

It was also because Tang Minglang came to Lihuawan that he and Liao Xiaole began to get acquainted, and the three of them started playing together.

Li Huawan simply followed the two of them in and out. Even Li Yanhong had to stay close to him when he was teaching. Jiang Lianzhu specially asked someone to add a pair of tables and chairs. Li Yanhong didn't mind either. There is an extra observer.

The New Year is coming soon, and the snow in the capital has become lighter. Due to this year's snowstorm, there have been refugees, and the court has allocated another batch of supplies. Fortunately, because of the shelter, the sick people have almost recovered. Therefore, even if something happens to Prince Xiang's Mansion now, and the medicine boys from five medical clinics take turns distributing porridge, they can still take care of it.

"Hey, it's hard to believe that they didn't change their mind temporarily at this time, and they can still take care of the refugees according to the covenant." Jiang Lianzhu and Xiao Yuan Xiaoquan visited the western suburbs several times. They originally wanted them to help, but they saw that the refugees in the deserted village were being killed. They took care of everything so well, I couldn't help but sigh.

While Jiang Lianzhu was pleased, she also sent some gifts to the bosses behind the scenes and the doctors and drug boys in the five medical clinics.
