Chapter 219

When he was extremely entangled in embarrassment and fright, Shen Nai was waiting at the door to come in.

Shou'an vaguely knew Shen Bai's ability, at this time the emperor was too ill to ask people to come in, so Shou'an gritted his teeth and brought Shen Bai in.

Shen Hui gave Shouan a pill and a talisman.

The talisman was pasted on the head of the bed, and the medicine was taken with the rain.

Shouan also went to the harem, and some concubines kept rainwater and snowwater, so he went to ask for an altar.

The talisman paper was pasted and the medicine was taken. After only one night, the emperor woke up the next day.

Although his face was still a little haggard, he didn't look seriously ill overall.

Shouan was shocked, and when the emperor woke up, he said everything.

The emperor himself felt it, and with the testimony of the imperial physician and Shou An's description, the emperor believed it very much.

So he tentatively asked Shen Bei whether there was a longevity pill.

Shen Tai naturally knelt down immediately and said no.

But the more he was like this, the more the emperor felt it.

After a few days of grinding like this, Shen Bei gritted his teeth and gave the prescription.

In Xuanzheng Pavilion.

The emperor had just recovered from a serious illness, so he called several important ministers to discuss matters.

The courtiers knelt to salute at first, but when they were allowed to get up, they unconsciously raised their heads to look at the emperor quietly.

The emperor's face looked weak, but there was nothing serious about it.

To put it bluntly, the emperor looked weaker some time ago.

And some time ago, it was after Concubine Ping used it for a month.

Seeing this, several courtiers murmured in their hearts, thinking that the emperor's illness might be fake, and it was just a smoke bomb for the outside world.

After all, there is no one who is so seriously ill and recovers in just one night.

As for why His Majesty did this, several people looked at each other in pairs, and had an answer in their hearts.

They thought it was because the princes were fighting too fiercely, forming cliques for personal gain, and disregarding the slightest brotherhood.

In fact, the truth inside is not the case.

Even the emperor didn't care how hard these sons fought.

Because he has experienced it himself, the things his sons have done are not half as good as his.

When the emperor finished speaking, the courtiers sitting below stopped talking.

If this is in the court, the courtiers will have to whisper.

But this is in the Xuanzheng Pavilion, there are only a few people in total, and if they say something, they have to be seen by the emperor.

Although they were dissatisfied with the emperor's words, they didn't think about getting rid of the head on their necks.

only……

One of them looked to the side, finally gritted his teeth and said hesitantly, "The empress has managed the harem for many years without any mistakes. It's probably inappropriate for Your Majesty to let other concubines take care of it now."

"If your Majesty feels that there are many things in the harem, you can send a decree to call the empress to come back."

"Of course, praying for the crown prince is a major event, but if the harem is not stable, the court will be unstable, and His Majesty is also worried."

"As for praying for the prince, it's the same in the palace."

The emperor's heart moved, thinking about the possibility of these words being realized.

Of course he thought it was good for the queen to come back, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head.

The queen will not come back because of a decree.

He made a wrong move, and he didn't have the chance to go back and start again.

So before a few people could open their mouths, the emperor had already stood up to make a decree.

He gave the power of managing the harem to two people.

One is the queen mother and the other is the concubine Ping.

When this decree came out, everyone was shocked.

Although the other concubines were dissatisfied, especially those with princes, they were afraid of the emperor after all, they just didn't dare to show their dissatisfaction on the surface.

The concubines couldn't help turning their attention to Fuying Tower.

Concubine Zheng was the most favored in the past, she had children, and her status was considered high.

How to manage the harem, even Concubine Ping can manage it, but she can't.

Concubine Zheng must make trouble.

This is what everyone thinks.

Including Zhu and Liuxu, the two big palace maids beside Concubine Zheng.

When Concubine Zheng fell ill, her whole person changed a lot.

Now she is sitting on the small couch, her clothes are plain and simple, and her hair is loosely tied in a bun.

"Empress Dowager and Concubine Ping?" Concubine Zheng was subconsciously uncomfortable.

However, this discomfort did not last long. The power to manage the harem is indeed good, but it is also a hot potato.

Whoever holds it is unlucky.

Concubine Zheng frowned, "Did you hear it wrong? How could it be these two people?"

Shi Zhu can assure that she heard it right, even though she couldn't believe it when she heard it.

This decree seems to be as if His Majesty respects and loves the Empress Dowager.

But who doesn't know that the queen mother is just a decoration in the harem.

Although His Majesty has been there a few more times recently, it doesn't make any difference whether you go or not.

In the past, the queen was in charge of the harem, and concubines who fell out of favor had a good life, and the queen dowager who was not the emperor's biological mother naturally had a good life.

The emperor went a few more times, just to please more people.

Concubine Zheng thought of Concubine Ping again, "That's all for the Empress Dowager, why is there Concubine Ping? What is she?"

"How long has she been in the palace, and she has no children under her knees, and I haven't seen her accomplish a few big things, how can she manage the harem?"

Concubine Zheng was indeed not convinced by this will. Her son, Concubine Ping, was about the same age, and she was going to be under the control of Concubine Ping, who was about the same age as her son.

This is too outrageous.

As soon as Concubine Zheng got up, Shi Zhu and Liu Xu persuaded her to go down.

Concubine Zheng sighed, and said, "That's all."

She can only get angry in Fuying Tower, and she has to pretend to obey the imperial decree outside.

You can't pretend to be sick, Zheng Fei thought.

There must be a lot of concubines pretending to be sick. If there are too many concubines, His Majesty will find out. If His Majesty is in a bad mood, he will have to deal with this trivial matter.

Sure enough, on the second day, five concubines fell down.

Some were greedy for cold and ate too many ice drinks, some were too cold to wear, but the reasons were well given, and none of them were repeated.

The Empress Dowager sat on the top with an ugly expression on her face. It was not impossible for her to guess that these concubines were pretending to be sick.

As a new official, she has three fires, and she really wants to burn them once.

But can't.

Those who pretend to be sick here must either have the highest status in the family or have children.

Concubine Ping had expected it a long time ago, she walked forward with a smile, and sat on the empress dowager's right hand side, and then said, "Since several elder sisters are ill at the same time, as a younger sister, I should go and have a look."

When Concubine Ping said this, the Empress Dowager was surprised, and then let her go.

So Concubine Ping took a group of people to visit the residences of those sick concubines.

It's not voluntary to follow the concubines in the past, but if Concubine Ping wants to go there, how can they not follow.

Concubine Zheng watched the group of people walk away, and waved her hand to signal Shi Zhu to support her.

She doesn't join in the fun.

The concubine who pretended to be sick moved her lips up and down, she was sick, but she would not really paint her face white and sprinkle bitter medicine in the yard.

So as soon as Concubine Ping passed by, she saw that they looked quite good.
