Chapter 1401 Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet (4)
"The Queen is ill?"
Mrs. Wu was stunned? "When did the Queen fall ill? How come I didn't know?"
In the Jin Kingdom, it was a big deal if the Queen fell ill. All the ladies above the second rank had to go to the palace to pay their respects, and the concubines and princesses had to serve her. Therefore, the Queen's illness was definitely a big deal, even if it was just a small cold!
Seeing that Mrs. Wu was suspicious, Liu Xi said impatiently: "It happened a few days ago, but she didn't want to trouble everyone, so she didn't let anyone know!"
If the Queen was said to be ill when she was not ill, it would be regarded as a curse, but it was a great sin, and no one dared to do it. Therefore, Mrs. Wu did not doubt it and hurriedly signaled Cuiwen to lift the bed curtain!
The bed curtain was opened, Xiangyun's eyelashes flickered gently, trying to pretend to be sick, but when she saw Wanyan Jingchen standing behind Yao Yuanpan, her eyes widened and her mouth opened into an O shape, big enough to fit an egg!
Oh my God! Was she seeing things? How could he be here?
Wanyan Jingchen looked at her stupidly, frowned, and hid the smile in his eyes.
Look at her, her face is red, and there is a small melon seed shell hanging on her hair. It is obvious that she was caught on the couch while eating melon seeds and pretended to be sick, which made him worry for nothing!
"Miss Wu, are you feeling unwell?" Yao Yuanpan looked at Xiangyun who was stupidly lying on the couch and asked with concern.
Xiangyun's tongue was tied: "No, no, no..."
Just when she was about to say 'no', she suddenly remembered that her parents asked her to pretend to be sick, and immediately changed her words, saying painfully: "Uh, yes, yes, I have a headache!" As she said that, she covered her stomach.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing; Yao Yuanpan also twitched his mouth, holding back the pain; Wanyan Jingchen clenched his fist, put it to his mouth and coughed twice, blocking the smile that overflowed to his mouth...
Mrs. Wu secretly complained, and hurriedly winked at her daughter, indicating that she should put her hands on her head.
Xiangyun was so nervous that she had no time to look at her mother. Mrs. Wu's eyes were about to pop out, but she just covered her stomach and pretended to be weak.
Court Judge Yao held back his laughter and said to Madam Wu seriously: "Madam Wu, in my opinion, your daughter is healthy and has no cold. I wonder which imperial physician diagnosed your daughter with cold? Please tell me his name. I will punish him for his poor medical skills and expel him from the Imperial Hospital!"
Madam Wu became nervous when she heard this and stammered: "It was not the imperial physician who treated her, but an ordinary doctor invited from an outside clinic!"
"Which clinic is this doctor from? He is not well-trained, but dares to come out to practice medicine? I will report it to Yingtian Prefecture and punish him for his dereliction of duty!" Court Judge Yao was relentless, looking like a kind-hearted doctor.
Madam Wu was speechless, she stammered: "Uh... This doctor was invited by the servants, I don't know... "
"Ha! A daughter of a noble mansion would go to a doctor in a clinic to see a doctor when she is sick?"
Liu Xi sneered, his tone cold: "Madam Wu, the queen considers Miss Wu as a close friend, and kindly invited her to the plum blossom viewing banquet. You didn't appreciate it, but you pretended to be sick to deceive the queen. Who gave you the courage of the Jian'an Marquis Mansion? Do you still have the emperor and the queen in your eyes?"
Madam Wu was frightened. In ancient times, the crime of deceiving the emperor was a serious crime of losing one's head and killing nine generations of the family. Although the punishment of killing nine generations of the family has been abolished by the emperor and the queen, the punishment of losing one's head has not been abolished. If you really lose your head for such a small matter, it would be... too unworthy!
