Chapter 141 The Husband and Wife
Now the emperor is seriously ill. Although the imperial physician has stated that his life is safe, the upper and lower levels of the palace are still worried.
Since the Queen Mother’s talent show, she has left the palace to worship Buddha and has not returned yet.
These six palaces were seen becoming a scattered sand again.
Empress Xue wanted to leave Kunning Palace in the name of serving medicine for the emperor. The guards had been beaten by Eunuch Tian, so naturally they did not stop them.
Empress Xue entered the small compartment where Yangxin Palace decocted medicine for the emperor without any obstacles. The two palace maids in charge of decocting medicine were busy fanning the stove, and the other stared at the casserole where the medicine was decocting medicine.
Today, the Imperial Hospital prescribed a lot of medicines. The emperor was drinking vomiting, detoxifying, and calming his spirits. The palace maids were so tired, but they still followed the prescription and detoxifying.
Empress Xue stood at the door of the small compartment, her eyes frowned from the busy and fanned palace maid, looking at the palace maid staring at the casserole with a serious face, making her frown.
I have to send all the palace maids out.
"Okay, you all go out. I want to decoct medicine for the emperor myself." Empress Xue stepped into the small compartment and ordered the two of them with a cold face.
The two palace maids were stunned and looked at each other. Why did the Empress come? When will she lift her confinement?
Besides, in the past, when the masters said that they had decocted medicine by themselves, they would just stand at the door and take a look? The most sincere thing is just seeing the end from the beginning. What is the Queen going to do?
"Didn't you hear this? Are you deaf?" Queen Xue had been the queen for more than 20 years. Although she was confined, her aura was not less. Her face darkened and she immediately scolded.
"Empress, I have boiled a lot of medicine in this room today, and there is too much ash. If I squint the Empress's eyes again, let's talk, the imperial physician has told me..." The palace maid who was in charge of staring at the medicine explained boldly.
"Get out!" Empress Xue interrupted the palace maid impatiently, "I want to decoct medicine for the emperor in person."
The two palace maids looked in a panic and hurriedly stepped back, "I'm waiting at the door, Empress, this medicine is about to be ready, don't burn it..."
Seeing them withdraw, Queen Xue pinched the small bottle hidden on her cuffs and felt inexplicably better. "I have a deep affection for the emperor, so there is no need for you to do anything here!"
She looked down at the lightly beating flames and the hot casserole on the flames. The small lid was pushed up and down by the heat, and a strong fragrance of medicine filled the entire compartment.
Queen Xue's eyes were a little dazed, as if she saw Qin Cang's expression of disgust and disappointment in her that day.
If she is cruel, her son will rule the world from now on, and she will be the supreme empress dowager. If she is soft-hearted, neither she nor the prince will have a way out...
Queen Xue's heart was hard, and she squatted down, smelling the increasingly dense medicine smell carefully, and suddenly reached out to lift the lid of the casserole, and quickly threw the powder that had been prepared with her other hand.
"Empress, the medicine is cured." The palace maid's voice sounded at the door. Queen Xue was panicked and hurriedly threw away the lid.
She came to her senses and realized a pain in her hands. She looked down and saw a large piece of her hands were burned, which was already white, as if it was boiled.
"Your hand is my nun!"
"I have nothing to do. Since the medicine is ready, pour out the medicine quickly!" Queen Xue tried her best to keep calm.
Just opposite the corridor railing of the compartment door, Youxia took in her eyes everything that happened in the room. She curled her lips gently, turned around and entered the Hall of Heart without hesitation.
The palace maid poured the soup and the queen told her to carry it, let her walk in front, staring at the bowl of steaming soup and entering the Palace of Yangxin.
In the Palace of Health and Heart, the Emperor Qin Cang closed his eyes weakly. The internal organs tortured by the poison in the wine were extremely painful and could not sleep. "Xia, I hummed the song you hum a few days ago..."
"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."
Empress Xue held the medicine, scooped the spoon in her hand into the medicine bowl, and sat on the edge of the couch and advised softly, "I am really worried about your dragon body, and I will serve you."
"You... Baolan..." The emperor seemed to have no strength to be angry with others anymore. Even Empress Xue appeared beside his bed, and he was not angry.
"Yes, I personally boiled the medicine."
Queen Xue's nose felt sore, and suddenly she thought of the relationship between husband and wife for more than 20 years. The emperor gave her great dignity and affection, asking her to be the lord of these six palaces and make her son the crown prince...
Yes...the prince...
"You have endured it myself..." A touch of tenderness flashed in Qin Cang's eyes, and he turned his head to look at her thin body, "It's hard for you."
Just as he opened his mouth to swallow the decoction that Queen Xue fed, Yuxia, who was beside him, said, "Your Majesty, you haven't tested the medicine yet... Let me come and taste it for you in person."
Queen Xue's face turned pale.
——
Xia Meng died of bleeding from seven orifices.
Qin Cang was not seriously injured at first, but under such stimulation, he lie down for more than half a month before gradually recovering.
The queen was taken down by the imperial guards and imprisoned in the heavenly prison.
The prince was detained in the palace and knew nothing.
At first he was a little scared, but later he saw that the emperor had not issued an order to punish him, so he gradually felt relieved and kept thinking in his heart that he was his biological son. Even if his father blamed him, he would not do anything to him.
On the day the emperor recovered from his illness, he summoned all civil and military officials to the morning court.
During these days, the court officials were all worried. Everyone watched the tragedy happen, but they had to keep silent and treat themselves as deaf, blind and mute. Only they knew how difficult it was.
Qin Cang stepped up the steps step by step and sat on the extremely wide and unbearable dragon throne. All the officials bowed and bowed. Looking at the emperor who had been aged for ten years, he sighed in his heart.
On this morning, no one handed over a memorial, and no matter how important the matter was, it was still in the sleeves.
After the silence after bowing, the courtiers felt as if the young widowed daughter-in-law was suffering the long night.
With a heavy sigh, the emperor spoke in a low and gentle manner and announced three things: one was the queen who was deposed as a commoner and executed by Lingchi; the second was the prince who was deposed as a wall and banned in the royal palace; the third was the conferred King Xuan as the regent.
These three things that are more obvious are clearly not said anything, but they seem to have explained everything clearly.
After the dynasty dispersed, the civil and military officials in the dynasty, who were shocked to the point of being numb, only felt that they had been quiet and feared before.
He quickly returned in all directions.
