Chapter 255 Visiting Princess Dundup
  Jing Muling is good to Shen Zhuoxi, and the Queen Mother is naturally happy to see him.
  Seeing Shen Zhuoxi's shy look, he couldn't help but joke: "The moment King Yu asked to marry you, the Ai family was worried that he had ulterior motives and would treat you badly."
  "King Yu has never looked at any woman differently in his life. No matter how beautiful or talented she is, she is the same in his eyes. You are the only exception. The Ai family now believes it."
  "Your Highness, King Yu, is so kind to me." Shen Zhuoxi's face became even more shy as she said, "I would also like to thank the Queen Mother for your kindness and for preparing a generous dowry for me."
  "Those things were used by the Ai family, as long as you don't dislike them." The Queen Mother asked her to stand up and sit next to her, holding her hand, her eyes filled with moisture.
  "In a blink of an eye, you have reached the age of marriage. Looking back, the scene of Xiaoqing's marriage is still vivid in her mind. If her spirit in heaven sees that you have found a good home, she will definitely feel relieved."
  When Princess Xiaoqing was mentioned, the original joyful atmosphere gradually changed.
  Shen Zhuoxi held the Queen Mother's hand and comforted her: "My mother will sleep peacefully under the spring. If you are sad, she will not be able to rest at ease."
  "Yes." The Queen Mother wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief in her other hand and said, "You are right, it is a great joy and cannot be overly sad."
  Shen Zhuoxi originally held the Queen Mother's hand and was about to take it back when he accidentally touched the Queen Mother's wrist. He paused slightly and then said, "Have you had trouble falling asleep at night lately?"
  "You often have nightmares even when you are asleep, and you feel tired and tight when you wake up?"
  The Queen Mother didn't speak. Next to her, Aunt Guirong nodded repeatedly and said with surprise: "It's true. It's been seven or eight days. I can't sleep well. I wake up in the middle of the night and toss and turn."
  "My servant persuaded the Queen Mother to ask the imperial doctor to check her pulse, but the Queen Mother repeatedly refused, saying that it was because of the increased heat and that it would be fine once it cools down."
  "Seven or eight days?" Shen Zhuoxi put his hand on the Queen Mother's wrist, tightened his pulse slightly and said, "Ping'an pulse is taken every three days. Didn't the doctor who called for Ping'an pulse find anything abnormal?"
  "The imperial doctor who came to ask for Ping'an Pulse also felt something was wrong." Grandma Guirong glanced at the Queen Mother cautiously and whispered: "They said they would prescribe medicine for treatment, but the Queen Mother insisted that it was fine."
  "This is not a delay. Second Miss, since you have noticed it, you must advise the Queen Mother carefully."
  "You're the only one who talks too much." The Queen Mother turned her head and looked at Aunt Guirong angrily, and said, "It's just a small matter. It's just because it's too hot at night that I can't sleep well. What's the problem? It's uncomfortable to take too much medicine."
  Shen Zhuoxi already knew the reason. He took back his hand and said to the Queen Mother: "It's not because of the weather. You worry too much. The deficiency of qi causes blood deficiency, which makes it difficult to fall asleep."
  "The internal organs are the source of qi and blood. Some are responsible for generation, some are responsible for transportation and transformation, and some are responsible for storage. Over time, problems will arise in the internal organs, and it will be more difficult to regulate them."
  "While it's still early, a simple patch of medication can help you get better."
  The Queen Mother was quite surprised and said: "Is it so serious?"
  "Isn't that true?" Shen Zhuoxi stood up and said, "I will write you a recipe. It's not very bitter. Just add honey and boil it. You can eat it for five days and it's almost done."
  Aunt Guirong quickly led the way: "Second Miss, the pen and ink are over here."
  Shen Zhuoxi wrote down the prescription, and Grandma Guirong quickly sent her confidant to the Tai Hospital to get the medicine.
  Shen Zhuoxi returned to the Queen Mother and said: "The prescription treats the symptoms and the root cause, but if you still keep your thoughts in your heart, you will definitely repeat it. In the end, you still have to adjust your mood on your own."
  The Queen Mother paused slightly, and then sighed: "There are many things that the Ai family doesn't want to think about. If we can just stop thinking about them, wouldn't we be able to transcend the mundane world?"
  "My maid knows." Shen Zhuoxi said softly: "But many things cannot be changed by just thinking about them. If you don't relax, you will suffer more than you gain by breaking your body."
  "You girl can talk and often come to stay with the Ai family, so the Ai family won't think too much about it." The Queen Mother smiled, obviously not wanting to mention this, and said instead: "Dunzhu, have you gone to see it?"
  Shen Zhuoxi shook his head and whispered: "Princess Dunzhu was stung by a bee. You must have heard the whole story. If her face does not recover, she will definitely find someone to vent her anger on."
  "My daughter happened to be nearby at the time. I was afraid that she would become a target, so I didn't move forward."
  The Queen Mother carefully examined her expression and whispered: "This matter really has nothing to do with you, right?"
  "Does the Queen Mother ask this because she is suspicious of my daughter?" Shen Zhuoxi looked a little aggrieved and said, "My daughter and Princess Dunzhu have no enmity, so how could I take the initiative to harm her?"
  "The Ai family must believe you." The Queen Mother recalled the rumors she had heard recently and said, "When Dunzhu's accident happened, you were the only ones around her. When she woke up, she refused to let you go."
  "Unless it was you who tricked her into getting stung by a bee, and you said it with certainty, and you used your medical skills as an excuse, if the Ai family hadn't sent someone to give you a few warnings, I'm afraid even Shengdu would have known about it."
  The Queen Mother paused and then said: "Although Dunzhu and Doza are from foreign races, the Rongqiang people are the people that the emperor wants to conquer most, and the Ai family cannot be suppressed too hard."
  "If you have time, go see Dunzup and clear up any misunderstandings. If she really can't think about it, it won't be good to bring the matter to the emperor."
  Shen Zhuoxi nodded and said, "My daughter did not think carefully. Thank you, the Queen Mother, for reminding me."
  "Just in time, the Ai family has asked someone to prepare something. You can bring it with you." The Queen Mother turned sideways and winked at Aunt Guirong and said, "Go to the warehouse and prepare some. Help the second lady prepare a portion as well."
  Shen Zhuoxi had a meal with the Queen Mother in the palace, then went to the palace gate and took a separate road to the West Palace to visit Princess Dunzhu.
  Compared with the harem, the West Palace has much fewer people. After Dunzhu was stung by a bee and moved here, the emperor sent many more people to serve him.
  Before Shen Zhuoxi entered, she heard screams coming from the room.
  "Get out, you are all quacks, they can't cure this, get out!"
  "Does a bee sting count as an injury? Our Rongqiang healers only need a patch of medicine to cure something, but you can't even do it despite all your efforts!"
  It was sharp and angry, and it sounded like it came from Dundup.
  Prince Doza patiently comforted him and said, "Send someone back to get the medicine. It will take at least ten days. You need to take medicine for your face as soon as possible. You can't be willful."
  "Besides, this is Shengdu, words come out of your mouth, and you are surrounded by other people's people. Don't make yourself angry."
  "It's already like this, what should I be afraid of?" Dunzhu's voice was full of despair: "My face is ruined, what's the use? It's all Shen Zhuoxi, brother, you have to help me get revenge!"
  The Queen Mother sent a young eunuch to follow her. After hearing this, she was afraid that some shocking words would be said, so she cleared her throat and reminded loudly: "Miss Shen Er came to visit Princess Dunzhu!"
  The sounds in the house suddenly stopped.
  After waiting for a while, Duozha came out of the house. There were still some wrinkles on the chest of his shirt that had not been smoothed out. They were probably caused by Dunzhu.
  He noticed that the eunuch came out of the Queen Mother's Palace, with a smile on his face, and said to Shen Zhuoxi: "Second Miss's wedding is coming soon, she is very busy, why do you have time to come here?"
