Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

"What? You want to move to the cold palace?"

Gao Hao frowned and stared at the person in front of him who was not wearing any makeup and was wearing plain clothes. He felt that he had heard it wrong.

Liang Qian nodded affirmatively: "Yes."

Gao Hao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is the Queen Mother angry with me?"

He then sighed, rather helplessly: "Didn't I deal with all those who maliciously slandered and defamed you?"

Liang Qian slowly lowered her eyes and her gaze fell on the table.

It's not surprising that he disagrees.

The night she fell into the water, she had a high fever that wouldn't go away.

When I woke up after the fever subsided, I learned a lot from Gu Ya.

Gao Hao executed the palace maid who pushed Lu Wanying into the water. The funny thing is that she was executed not because she was the murderer, but because she insisted that it was the empress dowager who wanted to harm Shufei, and the emperor just didn't allow anyone to frame the empress dowager.

The emperor was so protective of the empress dowager that some people were dissatisfied and spoke out against him.

Without saying a word, the emperor drew his sword and killed the man on the spot.

He even warned all the concubines that anyone who dared to question the Queen Mother would be killed.

These words shocked the harem.

For this reason, Queen Yuan Yun'e worked tirelessly and investigated the matter thoroughly for several days. Fortunately, she finally found out the truth.

It turned out that all the palace maids and eunuchs were under the instructions of Concubine Wei Zhen'er.

Shufei never took Zhaoyi seriously. She relied on her pregnancy to act arrogantly in the palace. Not only did she speak rudely to Zhaoyi several times, she even embarrassed her in public.

How could Wei Zhen'er not be angry?

As for the Empress Dowager, that's even more unnecessary. She had been summoned once since she entered the palace, and after she moved into the Liangfeng Palace, it was no different from moving into the cold palace. Not to mention sleeping with the Emperor, it was difficult for her to even see him. She was once the favorite concubine, but now she was abandoned, and many concubines secretly laughed at her.

How could Wei Zhen'er not hate?

Feeling angry and resentful, he came up with the idea of ​​killing two birds with one stone.

Unfortunately, it was exposed in the end.

When the emperor learned the truth, he was furious and immediately wanted to execute Wei Zhen'er and anyone who had spoken well of Wei Zhen'er during the interrogation.

The emperor suspected they were in collusion.

The empress thought that they were all old relatives in the mansion, and thought that Wei was just momentarily infatuated. She felt sorry for her and tried her best to plead with the emperor, asking him to spare her life only because Wei had given birth to a son for the emperor.

The emperor was moved.

But you can avoid the death penalty, but you can’t escape the living punishment.

Wei plotted to murder the royal heir, framed the empress dowager, demoted her to a commoner and moved her into the Mirror Palace.

Without an imperial edict, he will never be allowed to return.

As for the other people involved, those who deserved to be punished, killed, or expelled from the palace, none of them escaped.

After this incident, everyone knew that the emperor doted on the empress dowager.

Who dares to disrespect the Queen Mother in this palace? Not to mention discussing it in private, even passing by Hanzhang Palace would have to go around it, fearing that it would be too late to avoid it.

In the silence, Gu Ya walked in with a bowl of medicine.

Gao Hao raised his eyebrows, glanced at her, and smiled to comfort Liang Qian.

"Queen, please stop having these wild thoughts and take good care of yourself. As long as I am here, no one can bully you."

He said this and left.

Liang Qian and Gu Ya looked at each other.

Gu Ya was about to speak.

Liang Qian made a gesture to keep quiet.

There was a bitter smell of medicine in Yaohua Palace.

I felt dizzy just after sitting for a while.

Yuan Yun'e raised her eyes and took a quick look at the layout of the hall. She covered her nose with a handkerchief without meaning to, and then looked at the person sitting on the bed drinking medicine, and comforted him softly.

"As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. Concubine Shu needs to relax and not indulge in excessive grief. You are young, as long as you take good care of yourself, there is no need to worry about not having children in the future."

Lu Wanying drank the last sip of the medicine while suppressing the bitterness.

After rinsing his mouth and wiping the corners of his mouth, he raised his eyes and looked over.

"What the Queen said is true. As long as there is nothing wrong with your body, you will be able to have a baby sooner or later."

This ambiguous sentence made the smile on Yuan Yun'e's face freeze for a moment.

Lu Wanying seemed to be unaware of it. She turned around and asked the palace servants to bring some cakes and dried fruits.

*

After leaving Yaohua Palace, there was no smile on Yuan Yun'e's face anymore.

"This Lu Wanying!"

Seeing that the Queen looked unhappy, Achan sent away the palace maids and eunuchs who were following her.

She looked around again and saw no one around, so she said, "Empress, why are you angry with her? I think even if she can give birth, the master may not let her."

Yuan Yun'e paused, stared into her eyes, frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Are you doing it cleanly? You must not let the master..."

Ah Chan said: "You can rest assured about the others, even Wei -"

Yuan Yun'e stared and smiled: "Unless she doesn't want her son to live."

Ah Chan thought about it and said, "If your majesty really wants to raise the third prince, you should get rid of Wei as soon as possible, so that when the third prince grows up and becomes sensible, he will not be instigated by people who do not know the truth, which will cause discord between you and your son."

Speaking of the rift between mother and son, Yuan Yun'e couldn't help feeling sad.

"So many years have passed, and there are always new people in the mansion. I see them giving birth to children one after another, but I don't have any children at all. How cruel is God? No matter how well I do or how patient I am, I will always be like a sinner in front of him, living a humiliating and humble life. Those who are favored or not can use words to stab me, but the sad thing is that I can't fight back!"

She lowered her head and said, not without sadness: "Achan, you have been with me for so long, you know my mind best. It's not that I want to fight, but I have no choice. If I can have my own child, even if I have to give up the position of queen, I am willing..."

Ah Chan's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she still spoke: "My Lady, I heard that Princess Yixing's hemoptysis has been cured, is it true or not?"

Yuan Yun'e was stunned, raised her head and looked at her strangely: "Why are you mentioning her for no reason?"

Ah Chan said, "I have heard rumors from the old dynasty that Empress You of Emperor Xiaowen of Wei had contracted a strange disease when she was in great favor, but the palace doctors were helpless. Empress Dowager Feng and the ministers were afraid that the strange disease would be transmitted to the emperor, so Emperor Xiaowen had no choice but to reluctantly send Empress You home to recuperate."

Yuan Yun'e didn't take it seriously: "Later, when Queen You recovered from her illness, wasn't she taken back to the palace? She was even more favored than before, and was even given the title of Queen. Alas, I know about this, but what does this have to do with Princess Yixing?"

Ah Chan said patiently: "I heard that the symptoms of the strange disease are similar to those of Princess Yixing. Now Princess Yixing's disease seems to have recovered, maybe it has something to do with that saint..."

Achan's eyes were bright.

Yuan Yun'e was still confused.

Ah Chan looked around, took a half step forward, and whispered softly in Yuan Yun'e's ear: "I heard that to cure that strange disease, you need to find someone young and strong..."

Yuan Yun'e's body froze, her cheeks and ears burning, she glared at her in shame and anger: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Ah Chan returned to her original position and sighed, "My queen, am I just talking nonsense? Why don't you send someone to investigate? If this saint can really cure even strange diseases, maybe he can also help your queen to recover. Even if Princess Yixing's recovery has nothing to do with the saint, your queen will not suffer any loss. What do you think?"

Yuan Yun'e bit her lip, her eyes flickering.

When she went to the princess's mansion, she saw the holy hand in Yixing's bedroom.

Thinking back to the expressions of the two people, it is indeed intriguing, but we cannot infer that they -

"My lady, whether it works or not, why not give it a try? What if you can have the best of both worlds?"

Yuan Yun'e met her eyes, and her restless heart gradually calmed down.

Yes, both the throne of queen and the crown prince can be hers.

"But if I summon the Holy Doctor to the palace, won't everyone know that the Queen is eager to have a child? It doesn't matter if the doctor is successful, but if he is not, not only will I lose face, but the Master will also be embarrassed. And the fact that I have been infertile may be used by someone with ulterior motives. No, I can't do that."

Yuan Yun'e shook her head, feeling something was wrong.

Ah Chan's lips curled up: "Your Majesty can meet him privately, just don't let outsiders know."

Yuan Yun'e was surprised: "Privately? Out of the palace? I am the heir of a country, how can I leave the palace without permission?"

Ah Chan said: "You are the queen, so you don't have to condescend to meet him. Just let him into the palace quietly."

"How quietly?"

Ah Chan said sternly, "Your Majesty, there have been many incidents in the harem recently, and it is really not peaceful. In addition, there are many casualties among the soldiers on the front line. Our Great Qi has always been a Buddhist country. Why don't you take this opportunity to invite monks to the palace to chant scriptures and pray for the country? If the Lord knew, he would definitely appreciate it."

Yuan Yun'e's palms were sweating. She glanced at Achan and said nothing.
