Harem for a living

Chapter 211

When the emperor came to Yongshou Palace, Chen Manrou talked about finding Mr. Enlightenment.The emperor was very straightforward, and immediately agreed, and the next day, he sent a female official from the Qianqing Palace to temporarily act as the enlightenment teacher for the sixth and seventh princes.

Chen Manrou thought for a while, Meng Jieyu didn't have the empress dowager, the main hall was still empty, and Qi Xiuyi lived in Huifei's side, it was a bit inconvenient, so she decided to put the teaching place at Meng Jieyu's.

Occasionally, Xiao Ba would be taken there once, but without Xiao Wu watching, Xiao Ba couldn't sit still, and when he went there, he would either tear up books or throw brushes, and the sixth and seventh princes would not be able to do well. Studying, Chen Manrou would not let him pass.

Anyway, Xiaoba is still young, and Xiaowu also enlightened him in Yongshou Palace, so he doesn't have to join in the fun.

Chen Manrou's attention is now on the draft. After Concubine De and the others take care of the Chonghua Palace, all the showgirls will enter the palace.Chen Manrou didn't go, but only asked Concubine De to visit the Chonghua Palace once to give a lecture to the ladies.

The content of the lectures is nothing more than to obey the rules after entering the palace, and not to walk around without orders.Chen Manrou arranged for the foster mother to go there, and she didn't ask any more questions on the surface, but in private, she still wanted to inquire about the character of the beautiful girls.

However, what Chen Manrou is most concerned about is the Ci'an Palace.

Originally, Nanny Ping said that the Empress Dowager Ci'an just had a fever, and the imperial doctor had already prescribed a prescription, and it was estimated that she would be cured in three to five days.However, Xiu Nu has been in the palace for five or six days, and Empress Dowager Ci'an is not only not well, but her condition is getting worse.

Every time the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine, the Empress Dowager Ci'an took it for two days, and the fever on her body subsided.But seeing that it was getting better soon, the heat came up again immediately, and then the imperial doctor prescribed the prescription, and then cycled back and forth.

Although the Empress Dowager Ci'an said that Chen Manrou was not required to attend to the sick, Chen Manrou still had to go there once a day.

"How is the empress dowager's condition today?" As usual, Chen Manrou led people into Ci'an Palace.Concubine Hui and Tang Wan'er were on duty this morning, and they saluted together. Concubine Hui frowned, and said with a bit of worry on her face, "The Empress Dowager's condition improved a bit yesterday, but today, she suddenly started to attack again." When the heat comes, I am very worried, if the Empress Dowager recovers soon, I am willing to be a vegetarian for a year!"

Tang Wan'er took the opportunity to answer: "The Empress Dowager is sure to know about the filial piety of Concubine Hui. I also hope that the Empress Dowager will recover as soon as possible. The Empress Dowager is blessed with great blessings, so she must be able to recover as soon as possible."

"Hey, a few days ago, Nanny Ping said that it was just a fever, but this fever has lasted for ten days. I am really worried." Chen Manrou also frowned and sighed. After a moment of silence, she turned her head and said: " Which imperial doctor asked for the pulse?"

"It's Imperial Physician Liu, Imperial Physician Hu, and Imperial Physician Wang." Nanny Ping hurriedly replied, and Chen Manrou nodded: "At this moment, how many imperial physicians are in the Imperial Hospital?"

"The three imperial physicians are on duty in turn. At this moment, Imperial Physician Wang is in charge. After taking the pulse in the morning, Imperial Physician Wang stayed in the side hall directly." Nanny Ping lowered her head, making it difficult to see her expression and tone. There were no disturbances.

Chen Manrou walked to the side of the bed, tucked the quilt on the Empress Dowager Ci'an, turned and walked out: "I'll go over and ask to see how the Empress Dowager's condition is, if it's just a normal fever, it's impossible for it to take so long. "

The faces of the people behind all changed, but Chen Manrou didn't notice it when she walked in front.

When we arrived at the side hall, Royal Doctor Wang was sitting at the table looking through the medical books to check the pulse condition. Hearing the notification, he quickly got up and saluted: "I have seen the empress, please greet the empress."

"Doctor Wang, I want to ask you, how is the Queen Mother's condition?" Chen Manrou was not polite, and asked directly at the door, but Doctor Wang didn't dare to get up, so he knelt down and replied: "Return to the Queen Mother, please let me know." The ministers have little talent and little learning..."

"Lack of talent and learning?" Chen Manrou sneered: "Can you go to the Imperial Hospital with a lack of talent? Do you think I am a fool? I asked you to see a doctor for the Empress Dowager, but I didn't want to listen to your words! Reporting to the Emperor, you insisted on delaying the illness of the Empress Dowager to this day, do you know what kind of crime this is?"

Doctor Wang's face turned pale, and he quickly kowtowed: "The Empress Dowager said, I checked the Empress Dowager's pulse, and confirmed that the Empress Dowager really just had a fever, but the reason for the repeated fever, I couldn't find the reason."

These words are very vague, as if everything has been said, and it seems that nothing has been said.Chen Manrou stared at Royal Physician Wang for a while, and saw that cold sweat was starting to break out on his forehead, so she turned her head and said in a deep voice: "Go invite the emperor, and say that the empress dowager's condition is very relapsing. I am very worried and want to talk to the emperor. Discuss and discuss."

Li Chun responded, bowed and went out.

Doctor Wang's face turned even paler, and there was more cold sweat on his forehead.Chen Manrou didn't say a word, she just found a chair beside her and sat down.If the Empress Dowager Ci'an really just had a fever, it shouldn't be so repeated.

Even if the Empress Dowager Ci'an is old, she won't be like this.After all, the Empress Dowager Ci'an has always paid great attention to her body, and there is no minor illness or pain on weekdays. Otherwise, Chen Manrou would not have deduced that the Empress Dowager Ci'an would live to be around 80 or [-] years old.

Such a person just has a fever. In modern times, it is just a matter of getting a fever-reducing injection, and it has been delayed for less than half a month!How could there be no hidden secrets in this?And the sentence that Royal Physician Wang said—to confirm that the Queen Mother just had a fever is really the finishing touch.

Soon, the emperor came over, and the morning court was over at this moment, the emperor was probably in a hurry to deal with matters, and he didn't have time to change clothes, so he entered the door and took a look at Chen Manrou, sat down at the top, and then asked.

Chen Manrou frowned and said: "Originally, when the concubine asked Ping Nanny, Ping Nanny only said that it was not a serious illness, but just an ordinary high fever, so I reassuredly arranged for someone to come to attend to the sickness, and then let Wang Yuyi and others guard Ci'an Palace. As a result, it seems that half a month has passed, but the Empress Dowager's condition has not improved, and she is groggy all day long. The concubine is very worried, and fears that the Empress Dowager is suffering from other diseases, so she goes to Wang Yu The doctor came to ask questions, but Wang Yuyi only said that it was an ordinary fever."

Chen Manrou paused, the emperor frowned and looked at Royal Physician Wang, who kowtowed again, and replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I have not found any other hidden illnesses of the Empress Dowager, this fever is just a common illness, my minister, my minister ..."

He said it twice, but didn't say the rest. The emperor was silent for a while, and ordered Liu Cheng to call other imperial doctors.

When the emperor went out, one of them stood up to two of them. It didn't take much time for them to unify their opinions, saying that the Empress Dowager Ci'an's repeated illness was due to the combination of cold and heat.The emperor was instantly angry. It's not that the Empress Dowager Ci'an is unattended. There are a large group of maids and nuns, and there are four concubines taking care of her. How can the Empress Dowager Ci'an be hot and cold?

"Call Concubine Hui and the others over." With a calm face, the emperor ordered word by word.Liu Cheng responded and turned around to go to the main hall. Chen Manrou squeezed the emperor's palm: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. From today onwards, the concubine will come to take care of the sickness in person. The empress dowager's clothing, food, housing and transportation will be taken care of by the concubine himself. According to the doctor's prescription, I believe that the Empress Dowager will recover soon."

Empress Dowager Ci'an is like Xiaoqiang, even the imperial doctor hinted at it.If the Empress Dowager's body is very weak, the imperial doctor may have already reported it when her illness recurred three times before.It has been dragged on until now that Chen Manrou found out that it only shows that the Queen Mother's body is fine.

At least, for another three to five years.

Three to five years was enough time for them to escape from a palace fight, so no one spoke.

When no one exposes it, the queen mother just has a fever. If someone exposes it, this matter becomes the murder of the queen mother.The emperor was very angry, and the imperial doctor was panicked. Chen Manrou said that the good show was about to begin.

Concubine Hui, Concubine Fu, Concubine Shen, Tang Zhaorong, none of them were simple.

"How do you take care of the Empress Dowager on weekdays?" The emperor glanced over several people, although his face was dark, his tone was well controlled, only slightly depressed and annoyed.

Concubine Hui was a little surprised, and answered after a while: "On April 28th, my concubine was ordered by the empress to come over to attend to her sickness. , in the middle of Youshi, Nanny Ping brought a bowl of medicine, which she said was prescribed by the imperial doctor. The concubine supported the queen mother, and Tang Zhaorong fed the medicine herself. After serving the empress dowager, I used a bowl of porridge. Because the empress dowager had no appetite, I didn't use anything else.

In the next few hours, the concubine and Tang Zhaorong would change the towel for the empress dowager every other incense stick.At the beginning of Haishi, my concubine and Tang Zhaorong served the empress dowager and used rock sugar bird's nest. At the end of Haishi, my concubine and Tang Zhaorong served the empress dowager and changed their obscene clothes, and Nanny Ping led someone to change the mattress. "

Concubine Hui went into every detail, she even told the queen mother how many times she got up at night.

Compared with Concubine Hui, Tang Wan'er's reply was very brief: "Sister Hui Concubine did not miss anything, I and Sister Hui Concubine have been taking care of the Empress Dowager together these days, and they are attentive in everything, and dare not be negligent. "

As he said that, he turned his head slightly and looked at Chen Manrou: "This concubine is guilty, and this concubine deserves to die. I originally took care of the empress dowager, so I should have found out that the empress dowager's condition was not right earlier, and then put the ice basin and other things in Ci'an Palace earlier. Arrange to consult the imperial doctor, but I don't want to, the concubine is not as careful as the empress, and she has to wait for the empress to remind her to find out the problem, she really deserves to die."

Chen Manrou really admires Tang Wan'er to death. At this point, she has to find ways to drag herself into the water.Look at how level the words are. Everyone didn't notice anything was wrong, but the queen found out that something was wrong. See how much the queen cares about the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

As for the method and purpose of this care, it is really worth pondering.For example, if the queen really cared about the queen mother's body, why didn't she find out earlier, and only found out after half a month?
Who can be sure that the Queen must have discovered the problem today?Queen, tell me honestly, when did you notice something was wrong?Why didn't you report it if you found it?What is the purpose of waiting until today to expose it?
In other words, there is nothing hidden in this. The empress dowager's repeated illness is just because the weather changes and the ice basin is put in too much. Empress, you must make this matter a conspiracy. What do you mean?
If it wasn't for Tang Wan'er targeting herself, Chen Manrou would have wanted to applaud Tang Wan'er, this is a professional Gongdou player.
