Work overtime

Chapter 290

After Li Beichen finished speaking, he looked up at the Queen Mother and continued to consolidate the results:

"Mother, now there are dangers everywhere. We are in the open, and the enemy is in the dark. I hope that the harem will remain as it is as much as possible to avoid turmoil on the bright side. Everything must be subject to the stability of the overall situation."

On the surface, these words were for the Queen Mother, but in fact, they told Hefei how to deal with the situation tomorrow.

Both want and want.

Knowing that this son always obeys his word, the Queen Mother nodded, with a serious expression: "So, the emperor has made careful arrangements for tomorrow's event early in the morning? This matter must be carefully planned. The Ai family heard that Murong's elder brother is General of the Northwest."

Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, the dull tapping sound seemed casual but menacing.

The Persian cat, squinting and snoring in its arms, seemed to sense the change in its owner's mood. It suddenly opened its eyes and looked at Li Beichen.

"Meow~~"

This little thing is quite spiritual.

A slight smile appeared on the empress dowager's stern face.

Li Beichen glanced at the queen mother and concubine He solemnly, "On this matter, as long as the queen mother and concubine He maintain the same position as me, I can arrange other matters."

The voice is calm and determined, giving people a sense of security.

The queen mother is very familiar with the expression and posture of her son, that is, she has finished speaking and is about to leave. She narrowed her eyes and waved her hand: "Okay, Ai's family knows. It's not peaceful recently, so don't be careless. Just go and get busy." Right. The Ai family still has something to say to Concubine He."

Li Beichen looked at Concubine He with sharp eyes, "Concubine He, this matter is of great importance, and I will leave it to you tomorrow."

Everything has to give way to the bigger picture.Right now, protecting Fugui people is part of the bigger picture.

Put away any jealousy.

He is usually very dignified, and above the court, he often makes people tremble, like walking on thin ice.The previous mildness was nothing more than a pattern of getting along with the family.At this time, national security is involved, and the serious attitude of business affairs has been restored.

This solemn confession made Concubine He's heart tighten suddenly, and she said calmly, "This concubine will definitely live up to the trust of the emperor."

"That's it. I'll go back and deal with the government first."

The Persian cat gave a lazily "meow~" and answered for the Queen Mother.

The corner of Li Beichen's mouth curled up, and he walked forward and stroked the Persian cat's head, "This thing is quite cute."

The queen mother showed a loving smile: "This is Laifu. Laifu, kneel down to the emperor."

After Li Beichen finished speaking, he saluted the queen mother, and the queen mother played with Laifu and saluted Li Beichen.

After he left the Compassion Palace, the Queen Mother touched the round head of the Persian cat in her arms, and sighed heavily, worried for her son's safety.

"Aunt, let's drink some tea." Concubine He poured a cup of new tea for the Queen Mother and said softly.

The Queen Mother half-closed her eyes, caressed the cat unconsciously, and said after a moment of silence:

"Jing'er, it's inconvenient for the Ai family to come forward tomorrow. You should follow the emperor's wishes to protect the rich and noble. If the Murong family's affairs involve other concubines in the harem, it is the slaves who are at fault, not the master. Severely punish the slaves. Be steady first. Rabbits will jump over walls when they are in a hurry. Don’t push everyone to the enemy’s side.”

To put it bluntly, when the wind is high and the waves are turbulent, we must first maintain stability.The main purpose is to clean up the sewage for the Fugui people, not to bring justice to the Murong family.

Since they knew each other well, Concubine He lowered her eyes obediently and said: "Jing'er will follow my aunt's teachings. It will definitely not mess up the overall situation."

"Jing'er has always known how to measure," the queen mother pursed her lips and smiled, "Who is arranging bedtime today?"

Xindao is too knowledgeable, too restrained and weak, lacking the ability and aura to control people.

"Fan Shi, the daughter of Fan Chengan, the prefect of Hanzhong Prefecture in Shaanxi Province, now lives in Yanxi Palace in Xironghua."

The queen mother snorted coldly, with a bit of contempt, "She is also the daughter of a fourth-rank official. How did the Ai family hear that she has a close relationship with Fu Guiren's younger sister, Chun Changzai?"

Not only is it close, I heard that Jiang Yuebai also gave Fan Shi a piece of Su brocade that was rewarded by the Queen Mother.Fan's eyelids were shallow and he happily accepted it.It's also unreliable.

Concubine He recalled that the two of them were always inseparable, laughing and laughing, "Maybe they hit it off."

She is very envious of such like-minded friendship.After so many years in the palace, I have never met a sister who can really laugh and laugh, and I have always walked on thin ice.

The only reason to associate with Concubine Xia is to have more helpers to fight against Concubine Jing.

In fact, she also wanted to be friends with the sincere, kind and lovely Jiang Jinxiu, and she felt very happy together.

The queen mother shook her head slightly. The good sisters only entered the palace when they first entered the palace. After a long time, they would turn their faces later, "I'm tired of mourning the family. You should retire first."

Concubine He came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, sat on the chariot, looked at the new moon in the sky, feeling a little melancholy.

Obviously she finally sat in the position of controlling the harem, but she was not happy at all.

Instead of having the current position, she wants to be like a newcomer, to be by the emperor's side, and have a spring breeze.

Was Xie Kewei like this before?

She touched her belly and sighed.To the gods and Buddhas, pray for a miracle to come.

She really wants to have a child, male or female.

※※※※※※※

Inside Xining Palace.Two candles were burning in the dark.Can only illuminate a small corner.

A woman sat crookedly on the bed, her face was pale, without a trace of blood, and her face was stained with tears.

There was an unpleasant rusty smell in the room.Even if the incense is lit, it cannot be dispelled.

I don't know when it started to cough, one after another.

Perhaps it was the root cause of the disease caused by Ye Suhua's implicated soaking in the icy cold lake for an hour in March a few days ago.

Among the two court ladies beside her, one patted her on the back, and the other went to pour hot water.

"Am I going to die? The blood book, has the blood book been sent to the Queen Mother and Concubine He?"

As soon as the words were finished, the cough became worse, and she spit it out on the paper. The maid next to her took a look by the candlelight, and found that the phlegm was somewhat rusty red.

But he didn't dare to tell his master, fearing that his master would feel uncomfortable and hurt his body even more.

"Don't talk, my lord, drink your saliva first. The news from outside said that the blood book has been sent to the empress dowager and concubine concubine. Don't worry, my lord, the empress dowager will definitely give me justice. In the Tai Hospital The previous imperial physicians were all killed on the way to King Jin’s wedding banquet a few days ago, so there is not enough manpower in the palace. I heard that the new imperial physician has come to report in the past few days, and the empress will definitely recover."

Murong Chang was about to say something, but coughed violently again.

She has been coughing for several days, and the coughing is getting worse, especially at night, and it is difficult to sleep almost all night.

Please ask Lin Xuan of the same palace to go to Concubine He and ask the imperial physician to see him.

Lin Xuanshi did ask Concubine He, but he only said that Murong Chang had some coughs and wanted to ask Imperial Physician Jiang to take a look, but he didn't emphasize that it was very serious.

If it was normal, the imperial physician would naturally be arranged for diagnosis and treatment soon.

But in the past two days, the newly recruited imperial physicians are all going through the entry procedures, participating in the induction training, and familiarizing themselves with the medical cases of the harem masters and young masters, so they are not considered to be formally employed.

Almost only Jiang Xian ran around the palace alone, so naturally he couldn't take care of such a small coughing patient.

Murong often suffers from a bad cough, so he spends money to ask someone to leave the palace, and wants to ask his father Murong Shilang to send medicine in, but there is still no news after two days.

Obviously it's just a grounding, but the atmosphere of the cold palace is stunned.

At this time, Lin Xuanshi from the same palace was sitting by the window of his room, looking at the dark house opposite.

He felt refreshed in his heart, but couldn't see any expression on his face, and sighed faintly to Ning'er, the maid beside him:
"Sister Murong has such a pitiful cough, what should I do if I want to help but can't help. I have a few cough medicines brought from home, but I don't know if it is suitable for Sister Murong's illness. If It's not right, but it hurt her."

Ning'er comforted her little lord and said: "Young master, don't blame yourself too much. These days, you have been working hard outside for little lord Murong's affairs. But it's just such an unlucky thing. Now there is only one Doctor Jiang who is seeing a doctor, and he is too busy, how can he take care of this side, what can he do."
