I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 15
While Qu Lingxu was silently sizing up Concubine Xu Gui, the other party's gaze quickly passed her, and he stepped forward to salute: "My concubine pays my respects to the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with peace."

"Aifei is free." The emperor's eyes lit up, he stood up and supported Xu Guifei himself, and said with a light smile, "Why did Aifei come here at this time?"

"I beg you to hear that the emperor summoned the master who made the plague cure, and I also want to come and see the master's demeanor." Concubine Xu looked around the palace for a week, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I don't know where the master is now? "

"I am very pleased that my concubine has such a heart." The emperor nodded slightly, pointing at Qu Lingxu, "It's this girl, speaking of which, she is also a relative of my concubine."

"The relatives of the concubine?" Concubine Xu Gui knew that the Qu family had a daughter-in-law, but the two had never met and did not recognize each other.

Seeing this, Qu Lingxu saluted respectfully, and said: "Qu Lingxu, the daughter of General Zhen Guo's Mansion, pays homage to the imperial concubine." Shi has reached the point where he will never die, so naturally he doesn't need to please the other party.

"It's Xu'er!" A trace of disgust flashed in Concubine Xu's eyes, and then she smiled as usual: "In these years, you often refused the palace banquet by calling yourself sick, which made me very worried. I didn't expect to learn such a thing silently." Good medical skills, no wonder he refuses to come out to see us ordinary people."

Concubine Xu Guiyan smiled and hinted at Qu Lingxu's deep scheming, and charged him with contempt of imperial power. In this way, even if Qu Lingxu was successful in curing the plague, he would be hated by the emperor, let alone rewarded.

However, how could the current Qu Lingxu allow Concubine Xu to slander him? He was blessed right now, and said softly: "Isn't Concubine Lao worried about being a servant, but... the second aunt said, the servant Not good at words, it's hard to guarantee that you won't bump into nobles when you go out..." Qu Lingxu paused, as if there was something difficult to say, until the emperor's face turned from displeasure to doubt, and then continued: "My daughter is stupid. Little sister has a good name, and I don't want to displease Second Aunt, so I have to stay at home."

Qu Lingxu's words of explanation directly pushed Xu's mother and daughter to the forefront. How dare a lowly aunt teach a lesson to her daughter?What does Miss Di need to take into account the reputation of her sister-in-law?

Speaking of the suffocation and suffering of his first wife being suppressed by the concubine, the empress who had never said a word undoubtedly felt the same way, and immediately sneered: "The concubine's sister is indeed well-connected, and the Xu family has the support of the concubine, and she already regards herself as the head of the house. , since this is the case, there is no need to trouble the emperor with any decree."

As Xu became a flat wife, the power of Concubine Xu's faction would increase greatly. This is something the Empress absolutely does not want to see. However, the plague needs to be treated by Dr. Xu. Although she is annoyed, there is nothing she can do about it. Let Qu Lingxu take the lead, so she naturally wants to take this opportunity to suppress Concubine Xu and her daughter.

The queen's reaction was expected by Qu Lingxu, but she rushed ahead of Concubine Xu and hurriedly waved her hands: "Your Majesty misunderstood, Second Aunt will send someone to inform Mother before making any decision, she does not make arbitrary decisions."

These words surprised everyone again.

Send someone?inform?Shouldn't it be 'ask for instructions in person'?

"Your Majesty, my concubine and my sister have always abided by their duties and never dared to go half a step beyond the rules. There must be a misunderstanding. Please be aware of it." Concubine Xu Gui glanced at Qu Lingxu with an unkind expression, her slightly trembling body was swaying like in the wind The flowers are like flowers, which makes people feel pity.

Hehe, Qu Fengyan is already good at acting, but I didn't expect her aunt's acting skills to be even more superb.

Qu Lingxu sneered, but did not argue, just rubbed the reddish eye circles, lowered her head and said timidly: "Second Aunt...very good, it was because of my daughter's talking too much that caused the misunderstanding, please forgive me."

Concubine Xu has been favored for many years, and the emperor's affection for her is far beyond that of an outsider like herself. If she strongly refutes it, it will definitely cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. It would be better to behave pitifully, and instead confirm Xu's meanness and domineering.
