Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 224 Illness
"How?" In Yongchun Palace, Qi Tong looked at Linglong and asked.

"Returning to your mother's words, you have failed." Looking at Qi Tong's expression, Linglong responded in a low voice.

"As expected." Said indifferently, Qi Tong seemed to have expected the current result.

"What's the meaning of your empress? You already knew you would fail?" Hearing what Qi Tong said, Linglong asked in surprise.

"I'm not very sure. After all, today's event is just to test the emperor's attitude. Now it seems that it is not so easy to send people to the dragon bed."

Speaking of this, Qi Tong couldn't help frowning, she still had to think of a way.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" If there is no suitable person, the Empress might still miss the Second Prince, so it is imperative to find another way.

"Think about it, there will always be a way, I don't believe that the emperor will be in love." Right now there is no good way, Qi Tong sighed, frowned and said.

After the master said so, Linglong nodded, and stood respectfully beside Qi Tong, waiting for her to order again.

"Go and bring the second prince here, and let me have a look." Thinking of the child, Qi Tong's eyebrows stretched, and he spoke with a smile.

In response, Linglong exited the hall.

"Recently, the palace has been silent. After all, it's the New Year's Eve." After coughing a few times, Concubine Rong leaned back on the chaise longue chair, with a tired look on her face.

"Your Majesty has been working too hard for the New Year's Eve palace banquet recently. This servant has seen you lose a lot of weight."

Looking at Concubine Rong with a tired face, Hongxiu was very distressed, "Your Majesty, you have been coughing all the time recently, why don't you ask an imperial physician to take a look?"

Concubine Rong has always been in good health.Like now, it is still a rare time.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Waving her hands, Concubine Rong couldn't help coughing again, "Hongxiu, help me to sleep."

"Yes." In response, Hongxiu stepped forward to help Concubine Rong, and walked towards the inner room.

After walking a few steps, Concubine Rong suddenly felt her world spinning, her eyes darkened, and she passed out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Gao Yuan, please call the imperial physician!" Seeing her master fall to the ground, Hong Xiu hurriedly supported her.

She yelled at Gao Yuan with a face of panic, and called the little maid to join her, and helped Concubine Rong into the inner room.

The imperial physician quickly arrived at the Yichun Palace. Coincidentally, the one on duty today was Xia Shi who usually gave Su Qingyan a pulse.

Entering the inner room, Xia Shi opened the medicine box, took out the silk handkerchief, and handed it to Hong Xiu.

After Hongxiu made all the preparations, Xia Shi knelt in front of the bed and took the pulse of Concubine Rong.

As soon as his fingers were on Concubine Rong's wrist, surprise flashed across Xia Shi's eyes, but he was kneeling on the ground, so Hong Xiu didn't see it.

After a while, Xia Shi withdrew his hand. He looked at Hong Xiu and motioned for her to put the handkerchief on the other wrist.

When Hongxiu was ready, he checked the pulse again in Xia Shi. This time, the time for checking the pulse was much shorter than before.

"Concubine Rong's health is fine, she just contracted a cold, and I will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine."

Looking at Hong Xiu, Xia Shi talked about Concubine Rong's situation. After Xia Shi finished speaking, Hong Xiu hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Physician Xia, our lady has always been in good health, why did she suddenly become ill, could it be something else?"

When Hongxiu said this, it wasn't that she doubted Xia Shi's medical skills. She just felt that the master was always in good health, but now he suddenly fell ill. It was still so serious that she really had to think about it.

"Don't worry, Miss Hongxiu. It's because the imperial concubine is in good health that this illness is particularly serious. As long as you take the medicine on time and take good care of yourself, you will recover soon."

When Xia Shi didn't enter the palace before, he had encountered such a situation as Concubine Rong. Generally, people who don't like to get sick tend to be more serious than others when they get sick.

However, if you take care of it carefully, you will soon recover.

When Xia Shi said so, Hongxiu felt relieved, after all, the best medical skill in the harem belonged to Imperial Physician Xia.

After prescribing medicine for Concubine Rong, Xia Shi left Yichun Palace, so Hong Xiu had to do it himself.

"I didn't expect that bitch to fall ill at this time." Upon hearing the news of Concubine Rong's illness, the queen couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, this is quite good. The preparations for the New Year's Eve banquet are almost done, and Concubine Rong is ill, so the credit will all fall on you."

After hearing the Queen's words, Yingluo responded with a smile, she felt that Concubine Rong was ill at the right time.

"It's not a big contribution. As a queen, I don't care about it." She said indifferently, but the queen didn't care.

"Anyway, Concubine Rong is ill, but there are few people who will be an eyesore in front of you." Knowing that the Queen hates Concubine Rong, Yingluo said again.

"That's true." Nodding his head, he couldn't see Concubine Rong, and it was indeed quiet in front of him.

"How is the progress of Concubine Xian recently? I have been busy with my work, but I can't take care of her." Thinking of Qi Tong, the queen asked Yingluo.

"If you go back to your mother, Concubine Xian failed." After telling the queen everything she knew, Yingluo looked at her and spoke again.

"Your Majesty, if it still fails, the Second Prince..." Yingluo didn't say what happened next, because she didn't know what the queen meant.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. Although the emperor pays attention to children, you have also seen that until now, the emperor has not given the second prince a name. If this is the case, even if I bring the child here, it may not be beneficial."

If it is not necessary, the empress does not want to bring the child to her side to raise. Concubine Xian is not a person who is easy to control, but it is not so appropriate to leave the child to the mother at this time.

When the queen said so, Yingluo nodded, and she had a rough idea of ​​the queen's plan in her heart.

"Keep watching and see what else she can do. By the way, you can ask what Chen Zhaoyi has been doing recently."

The queen knew about Su Qingyan's copying of Buddhist scriptures for the queen mother, but she stayed at home every day, and it was not so easy to understand many things.

Besides, after training for so long, the queen reckoned that her body could continue to give birth to offspring. If so, she should pay more attention, so as not to be pregnant by her silently.

Now that the emperor loves Chen Zhaoyi so much, if she has a child and gives birth to a boy, I am afraid that the crown prince will be determined by the emperor, which is not what the empress wants to see.

After listening to the queen's order, Yingluo responded, and after saluting, she backed out. The queen looked at Yingluo's back with a little tiredness on her face.

Recently, she has been very tired...
