Concubine's true colors

Chapter 338
And after waiting for a while, seeing Xiangping slowly regaining his composure, he knew that the other party's current state was really not suitable for being seen by too many people.

Therefore, after ordering Zhu Xin, who came with her, to support Xiangping, Xiao Jinxuan will take him to Yanqing Palace, and find an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him as soon as possible.

However, Qingxiang was also born as a princess, and now that she was injured so badly, as a court lady and eunuch who served her, if she was held accountable afterward, everyone would have to bear the blame.

Therefore, seeing that Xiangping was about to be taken away, the palace servants around Qingxiang immediately blocked the way.

Immediately after taunting Xiangping, the court lady who was obviously Qingxiang's confidant stood up again, and then said very angrily:
"My princess has been injured so badly, none of you can leave. I will definitely report what happened today to Concubine Hui, and she will deal with you at that time."

Now this maid is so angry because she is not doing enough to protect the lord and she is afraid of being punished afterwards.

Seeing that Xiangping's condition was sluggish, and she looked like she was about to faint, Xiao Jinxuan was anxious in her heart, and her anger was immediately aroused.

"A mere lowly servant girl dares to block the princess's way. What's more, in this harem, your concubine Hui's master must not be able to be a family. The princess is going to Yanqing Palace now. As for what happened just now, I think If you ask for an explanation, wait for your master to come, and you are not qualified."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan stretched out her hand, and pushed the maid aside.

Seeing that other palace people also stepped forward to stop her, she snorted coldly and said in a cold voice:
"It's really stupid. You stopped Xiangping, and Princess Qingxiang's injury has already been caused. It is the best policy to take her to get medical treatment as soon as possible. Otherwise, if there are any scars, it will be the fault of the eighth princess. You slaves, I'm afraid there is nothing wrong with it." live."

After being reminded by Xiao Jinxuan, everyone panicked, as if they had been awakened, immediately helped Qing Xiang who had fainted from the pain, and hurried to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Without the interference of these people, Xiao Jinxuan and Zhu Xin rushed to Yanqing Palace after supporting Xiangping with great effort.

Concubine Liang, who was originally happy and prepared to welcome her beloved daughter, saw that Yue Yu was gone, and Xiangping came back in such a state of embarrassment, she immediately asked with distress:
"A good child, why is he being tossed like this now, Jinxuan, please tell me what happened to Xiangping. If there is a mistake with this daughter, as a mother, I really feel that I can't live."

As soon as the words were finished, Concubine Liang couldn't wait to give orders, telling the palace servants to call for the imperial doctor immediately.

But upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly stopped her, and then said in a low voice:
"I don't know if there is a trustworthy imperial doctor in this palace. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what happened to Xiangping, but to be on the safe side, it's better to keep her illness secret. It's really not appropriate to make it public. "

Seeing that although Xiao Jinxuan didn't explain the reason for doing so, but the other party's cautious expression, Concubine Liang immediately became nervous.

After thinking about it for a while, she said to the palace servant in a quiet voice:
"Go and invite Dr. Liang from the Imperial Medical Office, and remember not to make too much noise."

Concubine Liang has lived in this palace for decades, so naturally she has a trustworthy imperial doctor to protect her in private.

If there is no reliable imperial doctor, it is extremely difficult to survive in this palace without being assassinated.

But within a cup of tea, a middle-aged imperial doctor was ushered in. Immediately when Concubine Liang saw the person coming, she hurriedly said:
"Doctor Liang, I won't say anything unnecessary. Xiangping is unconscious and in a very abnormal state. You must find out the reason, and then tell me everything you know."

This imperial doctor Liang can be said to belong to Concubine Liang, so after Wei Yi greeted him, he didn't delay, he went directly to Xiangping's couch, and then felt his pulse.

After half a stick of incense passed, the doctor Liang first frowned and checked Xiangping's pulse, then took out the silver needle with a solemn expression, and stabbed the other person's head several times.

Then he opened Xiangping's eyelids and looked into the other's eyes.

After everything had been diagnosed, Imperial Physician Liang, who was looking at this meeting, had sweat on his forehead, and felt extremely uneasy.

Seeing this, whether it is Xiao Jinxuan who has already guessed a bit, or Concubine Liang who is clasping her hands together, they all know very well that Xiangping's illness is probably serious.

Taking a deep breath, Concubine Liang, who has been up and down in the harem for so many years, has experienced all kinds of wind and rain.

So suppressing the worries in her heart, she said with a stern look:

"Doctor Liang, you don't have to worry that I will take my anger out on you. After all, if it wasn't for you these years, I wouldn't have been in such good health. If you have anything to say, just say it. I can still bear it." .”

Upon hearing this, Royal Physician Liang immediately knelt down on the ground, then wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a panic:

"Your Majesty, if the doctor did not make a mistake in the diagnosis and treatment, Her Highness the Princess is suffering from insanity. And just now, when she probed the acupoint with a silver needle, the servant found out that this should be the second time that the Eighth Princess has had the disease. If it is the first time If the disease is treated in time after the onset, there may still be a slight possibility of cure. But now I am sorry for the boldness of the official. I am afraid that the princess's disease will never be cured in her life."

Hearing these words, although Concubine Liang was prepared in her heart, she closed her eyes immediately and almost fainted.

And although he had guessed in his heart that Xiangping might be Xiao Jinxuan suffering from insanity, besides worrying about this, he also blamed himself endlessly.

"It's all my fault. Yesterday I saw that Xiangping's condition was not right, and I also thought that she might be mentally abnormal due to excessive stimulation. But I'm afraid that if the disease spreads, it will be serious for Xiangping. Shock, Jinxuan made her own decision and thought that after returning to the palace today, she will ask a trustworthy imperial doctor to treat her, so this illness is delayed because of me, so please punish me, Concubine Liang."

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan who knelt on the ground after speaking, Concubine Liang who was already in tears, immediately shook her head and said with a wry smile:

"Jinxuan, what are you doing, why don't you get up quickly. You are not a doctor, and it is not intentional to ignore it for a while. How could I take anger on you? What's more, you are very considerate, and you can only blame it You can blame me, a mother, for failing to protect my child, otherwise Xiangping would not be where it is today."

The relationship between Xiao Jinxuan and Xiangping has always been good, but she has always been calm, and she seldom shed tears in difficult situations.

But even though her expression didn't change much, it didn't mean that Xiao Jinxuan was not in a hurry, so she asked unwillingly:
"Doctor Liang, is there really no way to cure this disease? After all, there is an inexhaustible supply of all kinds of precious medicinal materials in this imperial palace. Whenever there is a chance, you must not give up lightly."

Sighing helplessly, Royal Physician Liang shook his head, and then explained:

"Master Zhaoyang, if there is any way to do it, I am absolutely willing to try it. But most of the madness is caused by the patient's stimulation or emotional ups and downs. In addition to using drugs to relieve emotions, this kind of cause can There is no way to cure it. In other words, the princess is suffering from a heart disease. The servant can cure the physical disease, but there is no medicine to cure the heart disease."

Imperial Physician Liang has already talked about this point, and Xiao Jinxuan will not succeed even if she does not give up.

Immediately, she looked at Xiangping on the bed with distress and self-reproach, she just felt bitter and unspeakable in her heart.

And just when Concubine Liang carefully asked what to do in the future for the love of her daughter, so as to relieve Xiangping's condition.

Suddenly, someone from the palace came to report that Concubine Hui came to Yanqing Palace in a hurry, and wanted to ask Concubine Liang and Xiangping for an explanation for Princess Qingxiang.

And because of failing to protect Xiangping well, Xiao Jinxuan, who made Qingxiang's provocation and sarcasm, got angry and fell ill, made Xiao Jinxuan blame herself.

Hearing that Concubine Hui came to the door, she immediately sneered, and then said to Concubine Liang:

"Your Majesty, what Xiangping can't do without is the care of your concubine mother. As for Concubine Qian Hui, if Qingxiang hadn't deliberately irritated her, how could Xiangping have a second illness? Now I haven't Asking their mother and daughter to settle accounts, but the other party came to the door first, it is really disgusting."

Hearing this, Concubine Liang was a little bit astonished at first, but after Xiao Jinxuan told Xiangping about how Qingxiang arrived in the imperial garden, and sarcasm Xiangping, which caused the other party to become agitated, she told all about it.

Looking at Concubine Liang who was watching this meeting, a trace of bitter hatred flashed across her usually peaceful and dignified face.

After all, she didn't understand at this time, if Qingxiang hadn't gone to make things difficult and sarcastic, this daughter of hers would never have suffered a second illness, which made it difficult to cure her stubborn illness for the rest of her life.

Standing up suddenly, the peaceful aura in Concubine Liang's body has long since disappeared.

A kind of demeanor cultivated by the ups and downs of the harem for many years in the position of the fourth concubine, was completely revealed at this moment.

Dang walked towards the outside of the bedroom first, and when passing by Xiao Jinxuan, Concubine Liang said in a calm voice:
"Xiang'er is under the care of Imperial Physician Liang, so I don't have anything to worry about. Jinxuan, come with me and have a look, and see that Concubine Hui is incapable of discipline and indulges her daughter, making Xiangping look like this After that, she still wants to make some waves when she visits the door now."

While talking, Concubine Liang led a group of palace people, and walked out in a mighty manner. When she reached the main entrance of Yanqing Palace, she saw Concubine Hui being stopped by the palace maids.

Seeing Concubine Liang coming, Concubine Hui, who was angrily scolding the servants of Yanqing Palace, also saw Xiao Jinxuan's figure, and in an instant she pointed at the convenience and shouted:

"Okay, Xiao Jinxuan, why did you hurt my Qingxiang together with the eighth princess? If my daughter has any scars on her face, how can she marry in the future? I have to punish you severely today."

As soon as Concubine Hui's words fell, Concubine Liang's expression darkened and said:

"You all step back, there's no need to stop Concubine Hui. I'm here to see if she, a mere third-rank concubine, has the ability to play tricks on my Yanqing Palace. Why did Qingxiang get hurt, you mother concubine? You should be the clearest in your heart. If it wasn't for your daughter who was playing tricks, how could such a disaster happen."

Concubine Liang has always been generous, and rarely speaks so harshly.

So over time, all the concubines in the palace were afraid of Empress Xue, but they were not very afraid of Liang Concubine who was the fourth concubine.

So when Concubine Liang got angry, Concubine Hui realized clearly that the other party's identity was not something she could provoke at all, and the voice of yelling immediately quieted down unknowingly.

Seeing this, Concubine Liang immediately threw off the three-color Phoenix Palace Robe that only second-rank concubines should wear, and then said in a shocking voice:
"Concubine Hui, you heard me clearly. It is true that the emperor reprimanded me recently because of Xiang'er's incident. However, my power to assist the harem has not been taken back. If you feel wronged, you can go to the Holy Majesty and cry. If you dare to make a noise in front of my palace gate, I will immediately send you to the Severe Punishment Court and punish you according to palace rules."
