Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 384 Sickness

"Returning to the master, I only know that Zhaochun Palace invited the imperial physician, but I don't know why, please forgive me." Hearing Su Qingning's question, the palace man who came to answer the question knelt on the ground.

"I was in a hurry. I just called the imperial doctor. It's normal if I don't know the reason. Get up. I'll go and see with Concubine Lu in person." After hearing the palace man's words, Su Qingning suddenly smiled. Together, the concubine walked towards the outside of the hall.

The sedan chair was ready, and the two sat on the sedan chair, chatting and heading towards Zhaochun Palace.

In Zhaochun Palace, the imperial physician had just arrived and was checking the eldest princess' pulse. Concubine Zhang Shu looked pale and looked at the eldest princess on the bed.

At this time, the eldest princess's complexion was also not very good-looking. I don't know whether it was because of the heat or the discomfort. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Emperor physician, how is the eldest princess?" For a while, the imperial physician remained silent, and Concubine Zhang Shu asked the imperial physician.

"Master, don't worry, sit beside me for a while, your body is not feeling well, just take care." Bai Guo stood aside, saw Concubine Zhang Shu's body shaking, quickly helped her to the side, and comforted her in a low voice .

Concubine Zhang Shu sat down and kept her eyes on the bed. Looking at her and the eldest princess, it seemed that she was really sick and uncomfortable.

After a while, the imperial physician let go of his hand, stood up, and saluted Concubine Zhang Shu, "I also ask Concubine Shu to allow me to take a pulse."

He didn't answer directly, which made Concubine Zhang Shu's heart agitated, but she held back, stretched out her hand, and let Bai Guo fix the handkerchief and pulse pillow for her.

The imperial physician came forward, knelt beside Concubine Zhang Shu, and examined Concubine Zhang Shu's pulse.

Su Qingning brought Concubine Lu to Zhaochun Palace. Knowing that Concubine Zhang Shu and the Eldest Princess were both in the side hall, the two went directly to the side hall.

Su Qingning is a noble concubine with a higher status than Concubine Zhang Shu, so she doesn't have to wait for the summons at the gate of the hall.

In the inner room, the palace servants reported the news of Su Qingning and Concubine Lu's arrival to Concubine Zhang Shu, Concubine Zhang Shu responded, she knew that Concubine Su Gui would definitely come, as for Concubine Lu, she and Concubine Su were often together and came together It is also normal.

The two entered the inner room and saw that Concubine Zhang Shu was still taking her pulse, so they didn't bother, but came to the bedside to check on the situation of the eldest princess.

"I beg your concubine to forgive me, my concubine is taking her pulse and cannot salute." Looking at Su Qingning, Concubine Zhang Shu said weakly,
Concubine Lu blessed her body and greeted her respectfully. Concubine Zhang Shu waved her hand and looked at the imperial physician in front of her, "Emperor physician, what's the matter with the bodies of this palace and the eldest princess?"

Concubine Su and Concubine Lu are both here now, and they came here just to know the physical condition of themselves and the Eldest Princess. With the imperial doctor here, they can tell them directly.

The imperial doctor checked the pulse and let go of his hand, "I would like to tell the ladies, the bodies of the concubine Shu and the eldest princess seem to have eaten something bad, which caused the spleen and stomach disorder, and need to be rectified slowly, otherwise, it will be easy. Worse."

In summer, it is very normal to eat something bad, or have an upset stomach. A few days ago, there were two palace servants in Yuxiu Palace who had bad stomachs.

"What should I do? Physician, can you prescribe some medicine that can be cured as soon as possible, and I will take the eldest princess with me to travel with the emperor and the noble concubine."

After the imperial physician finished speaking, Concubine Zhang Shu frowned. She looked at the imperial physician and gave orders.

"It's...it's said that illnesses go away like silk, and the lower officials are incompetent, so they can't prescribe the medicine that works immediately. The discomfort in the spleen and stomach can only be alleviated slowly, otherwise it may backfire."

"Furthermore, Concubine Shu is an adult, so she is not afraid of anything, but the Eldest Princess is still young, and her spleen and stomach are even more delicate. If strong medicine is really used, the Eldest Princess may not be able to bear it."

Saluting to Concubine Zhang Shu, the imperial doctor looked embarrassed. Obviously, there was nothing he could do.

"Is there really no way? What will happen if I take the eldest princess out at this time?"

Frowning deeper, Concubine Zhang Shu continued to ask, the imperial physician's expression became more and more perplexed.

"I would like to report to Concubine Shu, if you forcefully go out, I am afraid that the Eldest Princess will not be able to bear it. At that time, it will not only cause spleen and stomach discomfort, but may cause more serious illnesses. Please think again, Concubine Shu."

Saluting again, the imperial physician began to persuade. Concubine Zhang Shu sighed after listening, and looked at Su Qingning.

"Concubine Su, what do you think of this? Originally, it was agreed that the concubine would take the eldest princess to travel with the emperor, but now... even if she wants to go out, she won't be able to."

"Hui'er was always very happy when she knew she was going out, and you know that she likes the two princes next to you the most, but she is already weak, so if she goes out by force, she might not be able to bear it."

Standing in front of the bed, Su Qingning looked at the regretful Concubine Zhang Shu, and couldn't help sighing that Concubine Zhang Shu's acting skills are still very good.

In the past, I only thought that she was timid, but now I know that she is probably the most thoughtful person in the harem.

Being able to become the secret line of the empress dowager, giving birth to a princess for the emperor, and being able to protect herself when the Chu family was in such a critical situation, to become the current Concubine Shu, if she really didn't have the ability, how could she have come to where she is today?
"Concubine Zhang Shu doesn't need to blame herself. The illness is unpredictable. Since both you and the eldest princess are not feeling well, you should stay in the palace and have a good rest. As for the travel, it won't work this year, but it will happen next year."

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to force Concubine Zhang Shu to travel with them. Even if Concubine Zhang Shu can, she still has to worry about the Eldest Princess' health.

"Thank you for your compassion, Concubine Concubine." After hearing Su Qingning's words, Concubine Zhang Shu saluted her.

"Emperor doctor, the bodies of Concubine Zhang Shu and the Eldest Princess are entrusted to you. You must take good care of their mother and daughter. When the Emperor and Bengong come back, I hope to see that their mother and daughter are all well."

It will take a long time for the emperor and Su Qingning to travel this time, and when they come back, Concubine Zhang Shu and the Eldest Princess will definitely be in good health.

Su Qingning believed that she and the emperor could return safely, and the little love in Concubine Zhang Shu's heart would eventually come to nothing.

"I won't disturb your rest, Concubine Lu, let's go." After finishing what should be said, Su Qingning turned her head, looked at Concubine Lu, and said to her.

Concubine Lu responded, and together with Su Qingning, walked towards the outside of the side hall. Behind her, Concubine Zhang Shu saluted Su Qingning's back, "Concubine sends my concubine respectfully."

After leaving Zhaochun Palace, Su Qingning and Concubine Lu got into the sedan chair together and headed back to Yuxiu Palace.

"Noble Concubine, what do you think about the matter of Zhaochun Palace?" Looking at Su Qingning, Concubine Lu asked. In her opinion, this illness came too strangely.

Although she knew that Concubine Zhang Shu would definitely make something happen, she never expected that she would work hard on the eldest princess.
