Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 461: Selection (1)
A look of surprise appeared on Caiyue's face.

But Su Wan hit her hard and said: "I only said that I will order someone to heal her, but there is no guarantee, she will definitely be cured."

Caiyue nodded quickly, and said: "My servant knows that it is Caizhu's great blessing to be able to send someone to treat Caizhu's illness. This servant is very grateful. Life and death are determined by fate, no matter what the outcome is, it is her fate." , of course I can’t blame the empress.”

Su Wan said: "Hanju, you go to Yikun Palace yourself, and tell me the order of the palace, that I like colored beads very much, so bring them to me." Anyway, she didn't want them anymore.

"Yes, empress, I'm going now." Hanyu bowed in response, and quickly backed away.

"Caiqing, it's not too late, you go immediately to invite the pharmacist from the Shangshi Bureau, and go to the West Second Hospital to see a doctor for Caizhu." After Su Wan finished speaking, she said: "Then go to the Imperial Hospital and invite the imperial physician."

The Imperial Hospital is outside the palace, and the inner city is close to Zhengyang Gate. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth.

"On behalf of Caizhu, this servant thanked my mother for her great kindness!" Caiyue wept with joy, and kowtowed to Su Wan again to thank her.

"Okay, you can go with Caiqing too! After Caizhu has survived, it won't be too late for you to come and serve me." Su Wan said.

"Yes! Thank you for your grace." Caiyue cried again, but this time she really cried out of gratitude.

After Caiyue and the others left, Su Wan sent someone to investigate what was going on with this colorful bead, and how did she offend Concubine Hu Gui?You can't just listen to Caiyue's one-sided words.

At this time, the babies were also tired from playing and fell asleep after feeding.

Leaving two stable maids to guard the baby, Su Wan went outside and sat on the arhat couch, resting her head on her hands, thinking about her thoughts.

Not long after, Emperor Xian De came back from his court and asked, "Tuan Tuan and the others fell asleep?"

Su Wan came back to her senses and said with a smile, "I'm already asleep."

"I'm going to have a look." Emperor Xiande said, he went in and looked at the babies, and after looking at them for a long time, he came out satisfied, but he seemed to be very "dissatisfied" and said: "The sleep is really good. , I went and didn’t find it.”

After Emperor Xiande finished speaking, seeing Su Wan's thoughtful look, he asked: "What is Wan'er thinking? I just saw that you are not in the right mind."

"I didn't think about anything? It's just random thinking." Su Wan hasn't figured it out yet, so how can she tell him.

The corners of Emperor Xian De's eyes twitched slightly, and he said with a smile: "Really?" He obviously didn't believe it.

"Really." Su Wan looked at him and said seriously, then said after a pause: "Okay, I will tell you when I figure out something."

Only then did Emperor Xiande give up, the two had another conversation, and then Emperor Xiande went to the front hall to review memorials and deal with government affairs.

Not long after, Hanyu came back.

"What's the matter?" Su Wan asked.

"The imperial concubine agreed." Hanyu replied after curtseying.

"Oh, she didn't say anything?" Su Wan didn't believe it.

Hanyu chuckled lightly and said, "The imperial concubine is indeed very unhappy. After the maidservant explained her intentions, she looked very ugly and even said a few sour words. However, she did not dare to disobey the empress's wishes."

After a pause, Hanyu asked: "Madam, if the maid named Caizhu recovers from her illness, will you really let her come to serve you?"

Su Wan shook her head and said: "I don't lack people around me." The people who serve her are all selected from thousands of people. It is not so easy to think of serving her.

Hanyu was relieved when she heard the words, after all, Caizhu came from the side of Concubine Hu Guifei, she really couldn't believe it.

Then, why Caizhu offended Concubine Hu Gui was still found out.

Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with Su Wan.

Because the imperial concubine treats the court ladies and eunuchs kindly, other palace people are envious of those who serve by the imperial concubine's side.Knowing that some palace people are sick, the imperial concubine will give them medicine and let them go to rest, instead of sending them away directly, and never beat and scold the palace people, unless they really do something wrong and touch the bottom line of the imperial concubine , such as eating inside and outside, dereliction of duty, seducing the emperor and so on.

Generally speaking, as long as you do your duty by the imperial concubine's side, you don't have to worry about any danger to your life.

What's more, the imperial concubine is also generous in her actions, and often rewards everyone. She is also His Majesty's favorite concubine, No. 1 under the empress, and she has to be looked up to wherever she goes.

Which palace person doesn't envy the people who serve the imperial concubine?Just can't wait to replace it.

Caizhu has a good relationship with Caiyue and knows more details. She is very envious of Caiyue, but she is a very loyal person and has never thought of climbing another branch.

It was just yesterday that Caizhu mentioned this incident somehow when she was chatting with some maids in the imperial concubine's palace.

A court lady said that she was very envious of the maids on duty around the imperial concubine. She didn't have to be like them, trembling all day long, with good treatment, and so many rewards. Beating and scolding servants is a world of difference compared to the imperial concubine, and everyone else responded one after another. They were suppressed very much, and it is rare to have the opportunity to denounce Concubine Hu. Everyone just said what you said, and I said what I said Get up, only Caizhu didn't interrupt.

As a result, Caizhu became hostile to several court ladies, they also knew that Caizhu was loyal, and seeing that she did not say a word, and refused to say anything wrong about Concubine Hu Gui, fearing that she would tell Concubine Hu Gui, they would simply sue the villain first, She slandered Caizhu in front of Concubine Hu Gui.

When Concubine Hu Gui heard this, she was furious.In the past few months, she had been suffocated enough, and just needed to vent her anger, so she ordered Caizhu to be severely punished without asking indiscriminately.

Even so, she was not relieved, fearing that it would be bad luck for her to die in her own palace, so she was sent to Le'an Hall. If Su Wan's order hadn't arrived in time, Caizhu would have been sent away directly.

When Su Wan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh.

It is common for court ladies to be punished, even if they die, no one will hold them accountable. In the palace, human life is really worthless.

Not to mention, most of the palace ladies are old and dead, and they will not be free for the rest of their lives. They are really pitiful people.

In fact, this kind of sacrifice is completely avoidable, even unnecessary.

Su Wan felt that maybe she should do something, at least to improve the living conditions of the court ladies.

It's just that this matter still needs to be carefully considered.

In the afternoon, after Su Wan took a nap, she heard someone report that Caiyue had returned.

As soon as she saw Su Wan, she immediately knelt down, kowtowed, and said excitedly: "Thanks to your mother, Caizhu has woken up. The imperial doctor said that her life is not in danger. She just needs to be raised for a few days. The maidservant kowtowed on behalf of Caizhu to thank the empress for saving her life. Whenever the empress has an order, the servant and maidservant will complete it even if they go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire.
