Donggong Zhangjiao

When Concubine Wan woke up, it was already bright.

Yuetao stayed by the bed and was overjoyed to see her awake.

"Your Majesty is awake, Your Majesty is awake! Go and ask the doctor to come, go quickly!"

Hearing the noise, the little palace maid at the door quickly responded and ran away.

Concubine Wan lay there for a while before she opened her mouth with a hoarse voice.

"There is a ghost, there really is a ghost. I also saw it."

"My lady."

Yuetao's eyes were full of pain, she called out softly, and helped the person up first.

"Last night, the empress was frightened and she fainted. The emperor came to see the empress. The imperial doctor said that the empress was too frightened. I would like to ask the emperor to let the mage from Baohua Palace come and take a look, but I don't dare to make any decisions. So Didn’t say anything.”

Concubine Wan took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said.

"I originally didn't believe in the theory of strange powers and gods, but things have been going on lately that are really strange. For the sake of peace of mind, it's time to ask a mage to do a proper ritual."

When she said this, Concubine Wan looked very bad. It was obvious that she was still frightened by the scare last night.

Yuetao nodded, served her a glass of water, and briefly tidied up her appearance before helping her lean on the pillow, waiting for the imperial doctor to come to see her.

Not long after, the imperial doctor rushed over. Naturally, it was not the imperial doctor Jiang who was involved with the queen. The one who was assigned to serve Concubine Wan now was an imperial physician named Zhao. He was in his early fifties and had been selected from outside the palace at the beginning of the year. The doctor who came in was very skilled.

Also arriving with Dr. Zhao was Pei Yao.

At any rate, Concubine Wan's brother had accomplished a lot of military exploits this time. Concubine Wan fainted in the harem, so she naturally wanted to come and have a look.

And after visiting Yichun Palace last night, Pei Yao also learned some things about Yichun Palace being haunted from Hong Zheng's mouth.

Scholars like Pei Yao naturally didn't believe Zi Bu Yu's strange power and confusion, but looking at Concubine Wan's condition and the appearance of the servants in Yichun Palace, she was a little concerned.

In such a large palace, after so many years, there are naturally some rumors about monsters and ghosts. Pei Yao has heard a lot, but this is the first one during his reign.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty's health is fine. It's just that she was too frightened last night, and she probably didn't have a good rest during this period, so her spirit is a little weak. Wei Chen will give her a prescription to soothe her nerves and warm her body. Please take a photo of your Majesty. Just eat it and you should be fine."

After diagnosing the pulse, Doctor Zhao said very respectfully.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." Concubine Wan nodded, "Yuetao, please send Mr. Zhao out."

"The slaves obey."

Yuetao bowed and sent Doctor Zhao out.

At this time, Concubine Wan hesitated and spoke to Pei Yao.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty must have heard some rumors about Yichun Palace. I shouldn't believe these rumors about ghosts and gods, but now people in Yichun Palace are in panic, and even I can't sleep peacefully. I beg your Majesty, in order to calm people's hearts, Ask the mage to do a ritual to ward off evil spirits and avoid disaster, so that the palace people can feel comforted."

Having said this, Concubine Wan paused and said again.

"Everything is going well in the war in the previous dynasty and they are about to withdraw their troops. At this time, I am thinking that if there are any ghosts and gods in the palace, it will not be good if the news spreads. It will not be good if I am a small person and cause some rumors. Besides, I am also afraid that people will be restless, and if I frighten the princess, she is young, so I am afraid that she will get sick."

Listening to these words, Pei Yao narrowed his eyes and nodded immediately.

"That's fine. Heart ailments require a heart medicine doctor. Since the heart is in panic, it would be most effective to ask a mage to come over."

"I thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

Now she really doesn't care whether she is embarrassed or not. What happened last night really almost scared her to death.

At this time, Concubine Wan already felt that it was really haunted.

Seeing that she was in poor spirits, Pei Yao comforted her for a few words before getting up and leaving. After coming out of Yichun Palace, we went to Fengxuan Palace.

It has been some days since I visited the fifth prince, and now that the investigation into the fifth prince's poisoning case has not found clear evidence, Pei Yao is also worried.

When he reached the gate of Fengxuan Palace, the eunuch guarding the gate was about to report, but Pei Yao raised his hand to stop him.

"Where's the queen?"

"Back to the emperor, the empress has just finished taking the medicine with the fifth prince and went back to the main hall to rest."

The little eunuch answered truthfully.

Pei Yao nodded and immediately walked towards the main hall.

Thinking that the queen must be mentally and physically exhausted due to the fifth prince's affairs recently, she didn't want to make any show of force, so she didn't ask anyone in the palace to salute her along the way.

At that time in the room, the queen had just brought a cup of tea.

"Concubine Wan should be awake, right?"

"Yes, I heard about the invitation for the imperial doctor. I heard that the emperor was also there. I guess I was quite frightened last night. It was really pleasant." Minsi said softly, her tone light.

Tim Mo snorted, "I was still stubborn before, saying I didn't believe in strange powers and chaotic gods. Now I'm afraid I'm asking the mage of Baohua Palace to exorcise evil spirits."

"What are you masters and servants talking about? It's so lively."

Pei Yao's voice came from the door, and the three queens were startled and hurriedly saluted.

"I'm here to see the emperor." The queen bowed, "Why didn't anyone let anyone know when the emperor was here?"

Pei Yao waved his hand, "I heard they said that you just drank medicine with Xu'er. I thought you were tired, so I came in directly to avoid you having to walk inside and outside."

As she spoke, she looked at the two maids behind her.

"Have you also heard about Concubine Wan?"

"Yes, there was a big commotion last night, and I knew about it early in the morning." The queen replied, and added at the end, "Just now Minsi and Timo were talking, Concubine Wan was very frightened, she should be invited The mage from Baohua Hall is going to do a ritual to drive away evil spirits."

After hearing this, Pei Yao nodded, "Indeed, Concubine Wan also mentioned it herself. I just agreed. The Master is ready to go in the afternoon."

Then he asked again.

"How is Xu'er today?"

"My spirits are good, but I still don't have much strength and I don't like to move much. The imperial doctor has looked at me and said that the poison hurt my roots and it will be like this in the future. I am definitely not able to practice martial arts anymore because my body and bones can't bear it."

The queen's expression darkened, and when she mentioned the fifth prince, her eyes were filled with pain and distress.

Hearing this, Pei Yao was silent for a moment, and then said.

"Now that the matter has come to this, I can only do my best to take care of myself. I will also look for ways to detoxify, but it's you. I think it's not good for your mind if you hang around your child like this all the time. Now it happens that Concubine Wan has encountered this kind of thing. , I guess I am unable to take care of the palace affairs, I thought, you should take over the general affairs of the Sixth Palace, things in the north are about to end, and you will need to come forward in many occasions."

"I understand." The queen nodded, and finally said, "The imperial doctor also said that Xu'er's current condition is already very good for his current body. He has been nursed back to health for half a year, and the child is also in the house. He's so depressed and panicked, why not let him go out to school and get some air, maybe he'll be in a better mood."

Pei Yao nodded, "Okay, but he is now weak, so we need to send a few more people to take care of him carefully and properly."

The queen naturally agreed.

The two talked for a while, and when it was almost time for lunch, Pei Yao left.

As expected, the Queen didn't leave anyone behind. She had no intention of competing for favors now.

After Pei Yao came out of Fengxuan Palace, he went straight to Yuzhang Palace.
