The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 71.trap

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua was still fighting at night with the lights on.

"Your Majesty, it's broken. Liu Huan has been found." Zhou Ninghai hurried in and said.

"What? Liu Huan found it!" Concubine Hua immediately knew that something was wrong, her face changed suddenly, "Who found it, and where is it?"

Zhou Ninghai's expression changed in anxiety: "It was the little girl from our palace who saw that nobleman Guan hurriedly took a person to the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. She thought it was strange, so she talked to the slave. Xindian inquired a few words, but Eunuch Xia slipped his tongue, saying that nobleman Guan escorted Liu Duan in to meet the emperor."

"A bunch of trash, even a powerless imperial doctor can't get rid of it." Concubine Hua was so anxious that she scolded her severely.

Cao Qinmo's eyes flickered slightly, recalling the words he brought back after having someone send a message to An Lingrong that day, he stopped copying the medical books in his hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. It has been found, and the matter of framing Concubine Hui that day may not be hidden. Although he does not know our overall plan, he will definitely confess to the empress. Rather than being angry, the empress should calm down and think about countermeasures." See Concubine Hua directly Going to tell General Nian, Cao Qinmo couldn’t help gloating. She knew that Concubine Hua was driven to a dead end, but her face was still full of anxiety. .”

"Then what should I do? I can't sit still and wait for death." Concubine Hua thought of the two brothers of the Jiang family when she was in a state of desperation, with a look of cruelty in her eyes, "They are all on the same boat, and the two brothers of the Jiang family can't be alone, especially Jiang Cheng!" He ordered Zhou Ninghai to warn Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen, and said again, "Tomorrow morning, I will report to the emperor that I am seriously ill. If I am ill, Emperor Nian will not be willing to punish him severely."

Cao Qinmo glanced at the medical books on the table, only to feel that An Lingrong was as good as a god, knowing that Concubine Hua would use the illness to shirk her guilt, so she had already thought of a countermeasure.She raised her head and added fire to Concubine Hua: "Your Majesty, if you want the Emperor to change his mind, you can't just rely on the Emperor's remembrance of the old relationship to soften his heart, but also give the Emperor what he wants most at the moment." She pointed to the table. "The emperor wants to punish the empress. Naturally, it is because the empress is guilty. If she is guilty, she should be punished and rewarded for her merits. The empress originally searched for the prescription to cure the epidemic in order to be able to hold the power in her hand. If she can't find it, there will be no loss. , but it’s different now, the empress can only atone for her sins by finding a cure for the epidemic, and the emperor has a step down, so she can also block Yoyo’s mouth for the empress.”

Concubine Hua's heart skipped a beat, but she frowned again: "I have searched the medical books for so many days, but I don't have any clue."

"Your Majesty, I heard that Zhang Mi already has a prescription for treating the epidemic, but because he hasn't tried the medicine on the palace people, he hasn't brought it out. A few days ago, people in my palace secretly saw him treating the seriously ill. The handyman was feeding the medicine and muttering about it, I think he is eighty-nine percent sure." Cao Qinmo said to Concubine Hua in a bewildering manner, "If we can let Doctor Jiang take out the prescription..."

Concubine Hua calmed down her chaotic heartbeat and sat down slowly.

The next day, Concubine Hua brought Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to meet her early in the morning. At this moment, the emperor just got up and was letting Zhen Huan serve him in court clothes.

Zhang Mi stood outside and reported: "Back to the emperor, after waking up last night, the queen mother was sweating profusely, and the fever began to slowly subside in the middle of the night. This morning, she was already well. Before the minister came, the queen mother even brought in a bowl of green vegetables that Rong promised to send. Porridge, looks pretty good. This formula is effective, and I have asked Imperial Physician Wen to take it for Concubine Hui, and it will be fine within three or two days."

"Very good." The emperor had a headache recently due to the quarrel about the epidemic, and now he finally saw his head, and learned that the queen mother is well-being, Longyan Dayue, "You are the first to contribute to the epidemic, and the Imperial Hospital also contributed a lot. Wait for things At the end, I will reward you one by one."

"A doctor's parents' heart, this is the duty of a humble minister." Zhang Mi immediately knelt down to thank him, and then said, "But the last blind medicine in the prescription for curing epidemics was not discovered by the Tai Hospital, but Rong promised. On that day Hui Concubine concubine was infected by palace people, and she walked around Shoukang Palace, which caused the queen mother to get sick. Rong promised to spend time with concubine Hui, but she didn't get sick. It was only then that I got a clue, and searched for the anti-fetal medicine that Rong promised to eat and nourish in daily life, and found the last perilla, which became the prescription. I dare not pretend to claim it, and Rong Xu should be the first to take the credit."

The emperor nodded with a stretched eyebrow, thought for a while, and said to Su Peisheng: "After going to Yikun Palace to pass the decree, go to Shoukang Palace and tell the Queen Mother that Fangzi Yourong, who cured the epidemic, has given her a share of the credit. I want to pay her back." As for the status of a nobleman, you can ask the queen mother what she means."

Su Peisheng hurriedly responded, and as soon as he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he ran into Concubine Hua head-on, so he greeted the emperor, and when she heard her asking about the emperor, he replied: "The emperor is changing clothes, and he is going to the early court, and the servant is going to Yikun palace."

"No need, I have something to ask to see the emperor." Concubine Hua raised the corners of her mouth and walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a confident smile.

The emperor heard that Concubine Hua asked to see her early in the morning, and taking advantage of her good mood, he arranged to meet her in the side hall without refusing to refute her face: "Why are you so anxious to see me?"

"The emperor is overjoyed. My concubine heard that two imperial physicians, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen, had developed a prescription that could cure the epidemic, so I specially brought the two imperial physicians back and forth to report to the emperor." Concubine Hua smiled brightly. The emperor will tell you." She pushed Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen out.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen quickly stepped forward and knelt down to answer.

Jiang Shen said a professional way of medicine: "Wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, the six evil qi enter from the mouth and nose. If it is too much, it can produce epidemic qi, invade the lungs and guards of the upper energizer, and conflict with the five inner lungs. For the epidemic."

Jiang Cheng explained succinctly at the side: "The epidemic is mostly caused by unclean diet, which damages the spleen, stomach and intestines. The minister and others read the ancient medical prescriptions and developed a prescription called Shiyan Jiji Pill. Warming and dispelling dampness, warming the liver and tonifying the kidneys, and nourishing the vitality. I have already given medicine to several young eunuchs, and after two doses, there are signs of fever reduction."

"Bring me the prescription, show me." The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at the prescription Su Peisheng handed over. Although he couldn't remember clearly, it was roughly the same as what he had read before, and he already had the answer in his heart. , "When was this prescription made?"

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen didn't know how to reply, so Concubine Hua continued and said: "The two imperial physicians dare not delay. After developing the prescription yesterday afternoon, they were given to people to eat last night. In the middle of the night, they found that the prescription was indeed useful, so I went back and forth to report to the emperor early in the morning." She felt that she had a chance to win, and said directly, "I know that the emperor is worried about the epidemic, but whenever I have time, I always keep medical books in hand, just want to quickly find a prescription that can cure the epidemic."

"Your Majesty, I heard from Weichen that there might be a cure for the epidemic in the ancient books. I stayed up all night to search for the classics, and I stayed up late at night a few days ago." Jiang Shen took the opportunity to speak well for Concubine Hua.

The emperor did not show any pity, and just threw the prescription back into Su Peisheng's hand with a sullen face: "The prescription developed yesterday? Very good, Su Peisheng, let Zhang Mi come in and have a look, is this prescription suitable?" " He hung his head and played with the beads in his hand, turning a blind eye to Concubine Hua and the Jiang brothers who suddenly changed their expressions, "I see this Fang Zi looks very familiar, it is the same as the Fang that Zhang Mi showed me a few days ago They are very similar, presumably they have something in common.”

what? !

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen suddenly felt that something was wrong, and broke out in cold sweat in the blink of an eye.

Concubine Hua felt even worse, she was about to fall down in a flash, Zhen Huan let out a cry of surprise and supported her.

"After staying up all night, my body is weak, please sit down quickly." The emperor looked at Concubine Hua, but there was no smile or concern on his face, but a bit of cold sarcasm, "I intend to deceive the king, I want to hide it." How can I forgive you?!"

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Hua finally panicked. She broke away from Zhen Huan's hand and knelt on the ground in shock. Her mind was in a mess, but it didn't prevent her from realizing that she had been caught in a trap. There are only two sentences: "The courtiers and concubines are confused" and "I hope the emperor will remember the old love".

The emperor closed his eyes, unwilling to see her again.

After Zhang Mi came in, he looked at the prescription carefully, his heart skipped a beat, and he replied: "Your Majesty, this prescription is almost the same as that of Weichen, but the people who made the prescription are not very proficient in regulating the five internal organs, and there are two medicines that can counteract each other. , although it is non-toxic, but after taking it, the medicine is more powerful than the previous prescription. Ordinary people take it, but the recovery process will be more painful, but like the Queen Mother, who is already old and not healthy, I am afraid that half of the medicine will be removed after one medicine. Fate." After speaking, he asked knowingly, "Where did the emperor get the prescription?"

The emperor didn't speak, and waved Zhang Mi to go down: "You will be fully responsible for the epidemic in and out of the palace. Wen Shichu has made great contributions in drafting the prescription, and let him assist you in dealing with the epidemic."

Zhang Mi knew that he shouldn't ask more questions, so he was ordered to retreat.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen knelt on the ground and couldn't stop trembling. The emperor's sentence exploded in their ears like thunder: "Brothers Jiang, disregarding the virtues of doctors, deceiving the king and ignoring the king, the crime cannot be punished, and death is given."

"Concubine Hua, she acted recklessly and ruled poorly, and now she listens to the villain's slander and intends to commit crimes. I really can't tolerate it." After Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen were taken care of, the emperor looked at the pale-faced Concubine Hua again, and refused to let Su Peisheng go again. The decree was delivered, and he personally delivered a message, "From now on, the title will be revoked, and I will be reduced to a concubine, and I will be punished by confinement to Yikun Palace for a month. Go." After finishing speaking, he waved to Concubine Hua indifferently, got up and went to the morning court.

The emperor didn't want to punish Concubine Hua so harshly, so he specially asked Xiao Xiazi to tell Yikun Palace the news last night. If Concubine Hua could find a way to save herself, he might not be able to forgive her because of Nian Gengyao's contribution, but I didn't expect Concubine Hua to be so unlucky, and she came up to the gun. If he didn't punish him, it would be difficult to give an explanation to the former court and the harem.

Zhen Huan saluted and sent her off. Looking at Concubine Hua who was slumped on the ground, she kindly stepped forward to help her, but she waved her away violently.

"You don't need to pretend to be kind!" Concubine Hua wiped away her tears, stood up again, and confronted Zhen Huan with force, "Don't think that I don't know your tricks. If it wasn't for your frame, how could I It has come to such a situation today! First, I grabbed Liu Wei and reported on the matter of Concubine Hui, and then let Zhang Mi deliberately press the prescription and not tell others, just waiting for Bengong to jump into your trap. It’s really a good plan. It’s my fault that I didn’t bring you down early.”

"Miss Nian is just joking." Zhen Huan smiled quietly, took a half step back and said, "We are all sisters, serving the emperor, if the emperor hears this, the emperor will be angry again."

Hearing her address, Concubine Nian felt her blood surge: "You are naturally proud of being the new favorite, and my palace will never tolerate a scheming person like you."

"Tolerance is the grace of the empress, can you let the empress tolerate the ability of a concubine?" Zhen Huan finished with a smile, turned and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Concubine Nian stood in the hall, feeling cold all over, her hands and feet went limp, and she slumped on the couch.

After learning the news that Concubine Hua was demoted and grounded, the queen couldn't stop laughing in Jingren Palace: "It's really rare to see Nian Shilan fall so hard, it's such a good show!" She took a sip of tea Slowed down, "Your Majesty Guan really did not disappoint me, she still agreed, she is really clever, this plan, she never showed up, but she took full control, this kind of scheming is really admirable."

"No matter how powerful she is, she can't get around the empress." Jian Qiu said with a smile on the side, "Now this palace is full of the empress. The emperor even specially asked Su Gonggong to send things, I really feel sorry for the empress."

The concubine Duan has been ill for a long time, the concubine Qi is cowardly, the concubine is grounded, and the concubine Hui has not recovered. These affairs in the six palaces can only exhaust the queen. The queen has concentrated power in one body, and she has become the biggest winner of this incident.

On the other side, after leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhen Huan turned to the Hall of Chunxi.
