Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 115

"Your Majesty, the fourth elder brother has come to pay your respects to your Majesty." A palace maid outside the hall reported back.

Concubine De was stunned when she heard this, and she seemed to come back to her senses after a while, with a complex look in her eyes, and said: "Come in."

After a while, I saw the fourth elder brother Yinzhen walking in from outside the hall.

"My son greets Mother Eren." Yinzhen saluted.

Concubine De sat on the bed, looking at her submissive son kneeling in front of her, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Get up, these days you come here often, Er Niang didn't see you even when she was sick, you don't blame Er Niang." Concubine De asked lovingly.

Hearing what Concubine De said, Yin Zhen straightened up and said: "My son dare not, it is the filial piety a son should do to please his mother."

Hearing Yinzhen's words, Concubine De didn't know how to respond. For some reason, she couldn't get close to her own son, Concubine De thought to herself.

"Get up, your knees hurt after kneeling for a long time, and it's been cold these days, so let the servants be more careful." Although Concubine De said this, her face was slightly embarrassed. How had I ever said this to him all these years? These words.When I said this suddenly, I really didn't know how to speak.

Seeing Yinzhen who was kneeling on the ground with a still calm expression, Concubine De felt even more uncomfortable. If she hadn't listened to Empress Xiaoyiren's instigation, how could this son be so alienated from her?The two daughters of the Tong family were born to be her nemesis.Relying on her background, she has been suppressed for so many years, even her son was snatched away by the two daughters of the Tong family.

"Yes, my son knows." Yinzhen replied, then got up from the ground, and stood there dignifiedly.

Concubine De's eyes flickered, and she sighed slightly in her heart.

"You are a filial person, Er Niang is very content with you as a son." Concubine De showed a very pleased look, looked at Yinzhen standing there, and then said sadly: "It's just that you are very happy." Fourth brother..."

Concubine De lowered her head, with an unconcealable sadness in her tone: "I heard that your fourteenth brother has been crying all day long, and he has lost a lot of weight. Emiang really can't let it go. !” As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Yinzhen stood there, paused for a while, and then began to persuade: "Emiang, please be at ease, the fourteenth brother is the son of Huang Ama, and the imperial concubine will definitely take care of the fourteenth brother with all her heart."

Hearing Yinzhen's words, Concubine De wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, her voice was a little hoarse: "It's the emperor's will after all, no matter how reluctant Er Niang is, so what, Er Niang knows that because your fourteenth brother is young, Er Niang favors her more Some, you must be considerate of Er Niang, back then Er Niang was forced to send you to Empress Xiaoyiren."

Concubine De's voice paused, and then she continued: "There is just one thing, Er Niang has to say, even if your fourteenth brother is raised under the name of the imperial concubine, he is still your own younger brother."

"Yes." Yinzhen replied, and said: "The imperial doctor said that Er Niang's illness has not yet recovered, it is better to rest in peace of mind and recuperate now, don't think too much and hurt your mind." His fists were clenched tightly, and a mockery flashed in his eyes.

"Well, you don't have to worry about Er Niang's body, it should be healed if the imperial doctor looks at it." Concubine De raised her head to look at Yinzhen who was standing there, and said softly: "E Niang is still sick, so I won't keep you. It's time to eat, so that you don't get sick when you get sick, you just study hard."

Yinzhen nodded and said: "Son, I would like to follow Er Niang's teachings. If Er Niang has nothing to say, my son will come to greet Emiang another day."

Concubine De smiled and nodded, "Go, it's cold outside, ask the servants to add a cloak to you."

After the fourth elder brother left, Mammy Zhang took a sneak look at her mother's expression, and then said: "My mother should have been like this a long time ago. The fourth elder brother is cold-tempered, but he is also a filial son. My mother's good fourth elder brother can say nothing. Keep it in mind."

Concubine De thought carefully for a moment, and said: "My son, I don't know yet, he only remembers that he is the son of Empress Xiao Yiren in his heart, there is nothing I can do about it." Concubine De Looking at the back of the fourth elder brother leaving, a flash of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease, the fourth elder brother crawled out of the empress's belly, as long as the empress is willing to put in some effort, the fourth elder brother will understand the painstaking efforts of the empress one day."

Concubine De sighed, her voice was somewhat strange: "Even if there is such a day, I still feel unwilling."

No matter how filial Yinzhen is, she can't compare to her little fourteenth. As long as she thinks about little fourteenth's life in Chengqian Palace, her heart feels like being cut by a knife.That feeling was much stronger than when the newly born fourth elder brother was taken away by Empress Xiao Yiren, because in her heart, Yinzhen was really her first son.

When the fourth elder brother was just born, she was carried away by others without even taking a quick look, and then everyone looked at her with sympathy and ridicule, as if to say that even if she is a court lady, she won the emperor She is not qualified to raise her own child even if she is favored by her, and she even has to pretend to be happy to go to Empress Xiao Yiren to thank her. She will never forget the feeling of being humiliated until she dies.

What's more, there are too many shadows of Tong Jia's in Yinzhen's body.That cold temperament, and standing there makes people feel superior, so much like Tong Jia's family.

Sometimes, she even felt that Yinzhen was respectful and filial in front of her, and she still didn't know how to look down on her?
He is the adopted son of Empress Xiaoyiren, and the jade certificates are recorded in Empress Xiaoyiren's name. He is half a legitimate son. If it hadn't been for the death of Empress Xiaoyiren, he would never have been willing to admit that he was born as a court lady for the rest of his life. My dear mother.

Only her little Fourteen truly belonged to her.

But at this moment, she had no choice but to win over Yinzhen first. Having an extra son would always be an extra help.

Concubine De let out a long breath, slowly closed her eyes, and said in her mouth: "I feel a little unwell, you go to the Imperial Hospital, and send Qin Imperial Physician to come and give me a pulse."

"Yes, I'm going now, servant girl." Nanny Zhang replied, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

Although Imperial Physician Qin belonged to the empress, the empress seldom sent him to Yonghe Palace for pulse diagnosis, so I don't know if the empress had any ideas?
Nanny Zhang hid the strange look in her eyes, blessed herself, then turned around and walked out of the hall.

Not long after, Nanny Zhang led Imperial Doctor Qin in.

"My servant pays my respects to my mother." Imperial physician Qin put the medicine box in his hand on the ground, knelt on the ground respectfully and said hello.

Nanny Zhang winked, and all the maids standing in the hall retreated knowingly.

In the hall, only Concubine De and Imperial Physician Qin remained.

"I've been sick for quite a while, but I don't know why it's always bad?" Concubine De looked at Imperial Physician Qin for a moment, and said thoughtfully.

As soon as her words fell, Imperial Physician Qin showed a trace of panic on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, and Rong Weichen will feel your pulse."

Concubine De nodded, and put her hands on the soft pillow, and Imperial Physician Qin stepped forward to feel her pulse.

"How? Is there any discomfort in Bengong's body?" Concubine De asked softly.

Doctor Qin took the pulse, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty is depressed. In addition, Your Majesty has been suffering from a cold for the past few days and her body is a little weak. Rong Weichen prescribed some medicines for your Majesty, and she will recover within two days."

Concubine De smiled lightly, and said: "I feel that this heart disease needs heart medicine, I don't know what the imperial doctor can do."

For a moment, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Imperial Physician Qin, tremblingly said: "I don't know what your mother means..."

Concubine De glanced at him, and said: "The emperor entrusted the fourteenth elder brother to the care of the noble concubine, I think he can trust the noble concubine."

Hearing these words, Imperial Physician Qin's complexion tightened, only to hear Concubine De continue to say: "If Elder Brother Fourteen has something wrong in Chengqian Palace, what will the Imperial Physician think the Emperor will think?"

The emperor definitely felt that it was the imperial concubine who neglected Xiao Shisi and failed to take good care of her.Even if Xiao Shisi could not be returned to her for a while, as long as this kind of thing happened several times, the emperor would always be furious.

When the emperor was furious, it was her chance.

The only thing that made her feel a little bit unbearable was that Xiao Shishi was afraid that she would suffer some hardships.

But if she couldn't be cruel, she might not be able to get back her little Fourteen for the rest of her life.

These days, after much deliberation, she has only two ways to get Yinzhen back to her side.One is to end the life of the imperial concubine, and the other is to make the emperor change his mind.

The former is really difficult, even if it succeeds, it will easily arouse the suspicion of the emperor, or the latter, which is more likely.

As long as she plans well, there will always be a chance to do something in Chengqian Palace.

Imperial Physician Qin opened his mouth, suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what you mean is..."

"Bengong trusts you, so I won't go around the bush. I want you to prepare some medicine, and you will understand its use. There is only one thing, you must not damage the body of the fourteenth brother." Concubine De said word by word. road.

Doctor Qin knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly, didn't he take his head to take risks in such a thing?Murdering the emperor's heir is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans.Although Concubine De meant to administer some mild medicine, but if this kind of thing was found out, he would be the first to lose his head.

But at this time, he couldn't open his mouth to refuse. He knew the temperament of this empress most clearly. If he hesitated a little, he would have to leave the Yonghe Palace sideways today.

It is said that Empress Concubine De is a very deep-rooted man in the city. He has realized that even if he is able to deal with his own son, not everyone in the Six Palaces can do it?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to relieve your worries."
