Chapter 40 Teasing the Prime Minister
On the side of Shou'an Palace, even though the Empress Dowager had already made the worst plan, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart. Although she herself felt that this hope was very slim, King Liang was her most beloved grandson. Thinking of his death, My heart is like a knife.
Just as he was suffering, he saw Eunuch Sun running in, yelling, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, King Liang is much better, King Liang is much better."
The empress dowager stood up abruptly, her face suddenly ecstatic, "Really?"
"Really," Eunuch Sun knelt down immediately, "I saw with my own eyes that my complexion is much better, and my breathing is very smooth, as if I fell asleep."
The Empress Dowager hurriedly said: "Quickly, get ready to talk, Ai's family is going to have a look."
After speaking, she said to the imperial concubine again: "You also go there together, it seems that Xia Zian really has some skills."
Concubine Gui's face was pale, and she was not happy with any outcome of this matter, because if Xia Zian cured King Liang, it meant marrying Murong Jie.
But if Xia Zi'an can't manage King Liang well, Murong Jie will be implicated.
Therefore, the noble concubine's mood is very contradictory now. She hopes that her daughter-in-law should not only be born in a family, but also be virtuous and virtuous, and let Murong Jie get the support of her natal family.
However, Xia Zian lacks everything. First of all, she was married to King Liang, so her reputation has been ruined. Secondly, she is not favored in the prime minister's mansion, and she is an item sacrificed by the prime minister at will, so even if she marries Ah Jie, she will not get the prime minister's sincere support. In the end, a woman only needs to learn women's morality well, and a woman who is good at medicine is destined to be restless.
She cannot accept such a daughter-in-law.
Therefore, Xia Zian had to die, and she was cruel.
Jianyu was carried to the Hall of Eternal Life, but before entering the door, the Empress Dowager said: "Put it down, Aijia will go in by himself."
Eunuch Sun helped her down, and she walked in before she could stand still.
"Mother, why did you come here in person?" The queen hurried forward to greet her.
The empress dowager looked anxiously, King Liang woke up after Eunuch Sun left, Zi An had just finished wiping his face, and Zi An even shaved off the stubble for him.
When the empress dowager saw it, she burst into tears of joy, "That's great, that's great."
She patted Eunuch Sun's hand, "Hurry up, help Ai's house go."
Eunuch Sun said with a smile: "Slow down, carefully look at the stone steps."
Zi'an knelt down, "My daughter Xia Zi'an sees the Empress Dowager."
"Get up, you are a hero, get up quickly." The empress dowager was so happy that she forgot how she treated Zi'an last night.
Zi'an thanked him, stood up and waited beside him.
The Empress Dowager sat on the couch, staring at King Liang. King Liang wanted to raise his head, but Zi An repeatedly stopped him, "Don't move rashly."
Liang Wang rolled his eyes, "It's not in the way, it's very long-winded."
The empress dowager scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, listen to the doctor."
Everyone looked at the empress dowager in surprise, almost thinking that they heard it wrong.
Liang Wang chuckled, "Grandmother, don't think that grandson can't hear what you said last night."
In other words, Liang Wang listened to her mean words to Zi'an last night.
Seeing his spirit, the empress dowager was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "It's not a crime for the emperor's grandmother to not know. I didn't know that Zi'an's medical skills are so superb. If I knew, I would definitely not say that. Okay, the emperor's grandmother Apologize to Zian."
Let's talk, and really said to Zi'an: "Zian, Aijia apologizes to you. Don't take it to heart when Aijia questioned you last night. Forgive Aijia, okay?"
Zian was dumbfounded. It was really hard to accept such a big gap.
She had just defined the Empress Dowager as a self-willed, controlling, and face-saving person, and suddenly she became a funny old lady who knew her mistakes and could correct them.
"Why? Aren't you willing to forgive Aijia?" The Empress Dowager asked in a raised voice when she saw that Zian was dumbfounded.
Zi'an quickly put on a look of panic, "I dare not, my daughter is not angry with the empress dowager."
She wanted to give birth, but how could she dare? This anger also depends on the identity.
She subconsciously looked at Murong Jie, only to see that he also looked at her narrowly, as if he knew this would happen.
When Zian turned his gaze back, he happened to meet the gaze of Concubine Gui, she was startled, the gaze was as vicious as Madam Linglong.
Moreover, her eyes did not hide or flicker, as if warning her or threatening her.
Zi'an sighed softly in his heart, Concubine Gui, you don't want to have a daughter-in-law like me, why did I ever want to have a mother-in-law like you? We are all involuntary.
Liang Wang's good transfer to the empress dowager completely changed the situation, and the empress dowager's change also made the whole situation easier.
Zian didn't even expect that the situation would take such a sudden turn for the worse. She thought that after King Liang got better, the Empress Dowager might not believe that it was her credit, but after she arrived, she affirmed her without even asking.
Therefore, the subsequent treatment will be relatively smooth.
The imperial doctor didn't dare to say anything about Zian, and cooperated extremely, the court judge privately pulled Zian away, apologized to her solemnly and asked her if she was really Wen Yi's heir.
Zian answered him ambiguously, and the judge actually believed that she was the successor of Wen Yi, and respected her very much.
While Zian was treating King Liang, Ni Rong came to find Murong Jie, "My lord, the palace guard on duty just told his subordinates that the people in the prime minister's mansion have been asking why the young miss stayed in the palace."
Murong Jie had just returned from court, and today Prime Minister Xia asked for leave and did not come to court early, so he knew that this person had a guilty conscience.
There was a cold light in his eyes, "Find someone to tell them that the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager are going to investigate the matter of Chancellor and Xia Zian's regretting their marriage. As for Xia Zian, he has already been thrown into the violent room in the palace."
Ni Rong was taken aback, "Why is that?"
"Watching a play!" Murong Jie's expression was so unpredictable that even Ni Rong couldn't tell what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.
"However, with Concubine Mei, I'm afraid that news will spread." Ni Rong said.
Murong Jie said indifferently: "From Xia Zian's entry to the Palace of Longevity, it has been sealed off, and no one else can come in. As for those who serve in the palace, strict orders are also issued. No one is allowed to know that King Liang is healed by Xia Zian. Concubine Mei won't get any news either."
"However, Imperial Physician Liu and Concubine Mei have a good relationship in the palace. I'm afraid Concubine Mei will get news from Imperial Physician Liu."
"Then let Doctor Liu think that Xia Zi'an was imprisoned in the violence room." Murong Jie said flatly.
Although Ni Rong didn't know what he was going to do, it sounded fun, so he said, "Okay, I'll do it now, subordinate."
Murong Jie raised his lips, outlining a mischievous smile.
Just when Zian turned his head around, seeing his smile, he couldn't help being startled, and he had to admit in his heart that in fact, he is not always stern, he is not always cold, but he is quite close to the people.
Lost in a daze, it might as well be that Murong Jie was also looking at her, and stretched out his hand to beckon her over.
Zi An withdrew his gaze, and walked over unnaturally, "My lord."
