Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 61

Su Lang's news was correct. In the early morning of the next day, almost all the ministers in the court seconded Li Guogong's memorial, suggesting that His Royal Highness go to the fiefdom to experience the suffering of the people, so that he can rectify the court and sit in the capital in the future.

Although no one in the main hall thinks that Prince Fengjun still has a chance to return to the capital.

The emperor hesitated for a long time, and finally, at the suggestion of the ministers, temporarily made Zhangzhou the prince's fiefdom, and asked the prince to leave for Zhangzhou within ten days.

Su Qing indifferently cut a cluster of newly opened poppies in the back garden of the Prince's Mansion, and asked someone to put them in a slender glass bottle.

"Miss, if we want to leave the capital, what should we do with the Fengfeng Pavilion in the capital?" The servant looked at Su Qing's leisurely flower arrangement with concern, and asked unconsciously.

Qifeng Pavilion is quite popular now and has become one of the most famous jewelry shops in the capital.Those fashionable and unique styles in the store are often priceless, and the pre-sale styles are also booked early.

Now if you want to leave the capital, Zhangzhou is a one and a half month away from the capital and back, I am afraid that Su Qing will be out of reach.But it would not be worthwhile to give up Qifeng Pavilion.

Su Qing slightly raised her eyes to look at the servant book, and then continued to arrange flowers: "Why are you in a hurry? My palace has already made arrangements. The shopkeeper Zhang will send the account books to Zhangzhou every six months. What's more, my palace also arranged for others to watch the shop The business of Qifeng Pavilion cannot be given up, even if we leave the capital, there will be no problems here."

The secretary really wanted to ask who Su Qing had arranged to take care of the shop, but in the end he just pursed his lips and said nothing.

If Su Qing would tell her, she wouldn't need to ask. Since Su Qing didn't tell her, there was no need for her to know.

"Shiqin, prepare court clothes for this palace." Su Qing pushed away the vase she had arranged in her hand, got up and walked towards the bedroom, "The Queen Mother didn't know that the crown prince would be released, I'm afraid the palace will be released later. Someone will come and tell me to enter the palace."

"Yes." Shi Qin nodded slightly, then helped Su Qing back to the bedroom.

After changing into the court uniform and phoenix crown, Su Qing waited in the hall for about half a stick of incense, and then Steward Zhou came to send a message: "His Royal Highness, someone from the palace said that the Empress Dowager called you into the palace."

Su Qing nodded, thought for a while and ordered Shi Qin and Xia Meng to follow her into the palace, and then ordered Shi Shu, Dong Xue Hongling and others who stayed behind: "I think the emperor will not leave us too much time. , you pack up some things first, and wait until the palace and the prince come back to make a fuss."

The waiter and others took the order: "The servant girl knows."

Only then did Su Qing turn around and go out, and got into the carriage sent by the palace.

The driver of the carriage drove the carriage a little faster, Su Qing also felt the bumps in the carriage, but she didn't care.What she wants to know more now is what's going on in the front court.

Thinking of Feng Jun having to face the pressure from the government and the public alone, she couldn't help feeling distressed.There is still too little I can do...

Slightly pursing her lips, a trace of firmness flashed across her eyes, one day, she will be able to catch up with Feng Jun!

The carriage finally stopped at the gate of the imperial city amid the bumps, Su Qing changed to a soft sedan chair, and let four strong servants carry her to the Queen Mother's Fengyi Palace.

Grandma Sun, whom the Empress Dowager trusted the most, was already waiting at the gate of Fengyi Palace. When she saw Su Qing arriving, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "I have seen the Crown Princess."

Su Qing nodded slightly: "Grandmother Sun is exempt from courtesy. The Empress Dowager has never visited the Palace after she came back to pay homage to the Buddha. It is also the Palace's disrespect."

Grandma Sun shook her head: "Princess Concubine, you don't have to blame yourself. The situation between you and His Highness the Crown Prince... the Empress Dowager knows it well, so she won't blame you."

As the two talked, they walked into the gate of Fengyi Palace, walked through the small garden in front of the hall, and walked into the main hall.

In the main hall, the Empress Dowager Su sat on the throne wearing a crow blue court dress embroidered with crane patterns, leaning on the nephrite incense pillow, with a forehead guard embroidered with double phoenixes on her forehead, frowning slightly.

An elderly imperial physician next to him was checking the empress dowager's pulse. When he saw Su Qing and Nanny Sun walking in, he gave a slight salute: "I have seen the princess."

Seeing this, Su Qing stepped forward worriedly and asked, "What's the matter, Empress Dowager?"

Empress Dowager Su smiled faintly when she saw Su Qing, and rubbed the center of her brows with her fingers: "It's not a problem, I'm afraid it's just because I got a little bit tired from the wind and cold while enjoying the flowers in the Imperial Garden a while ago."

The imperial doctor also nodded: "Princess and Concubine, please rest assured, the Empress Dowager has contracted a cold, and the phoenix body is not seriously ill. I prescribe a few medicines to the Empress Dowager, within three days, the wind-cold disease will be cured. "

Hearing this, Su Qing nodded and sat down next to her, watching the imperial physician prescribe the medicine for the Queen Mother, and handed the prescription to the people around her for review before ordering them to grab the medicine and make it decoction.

After the imperial physician left, Su Qing looked at the man's back suspiciously: "Queen Mother, I remember that it was Imperial Physician Hu who was the head of the imperial hospital's pulse diagnosis in the past, and your pulse case is also most familiar with Imperial Physician Hu. Why did you change to a doctor today?"

Empress Dowager Su sat up, and Nanny Sun immediately stepped forward and gave the thin soft quilt to the Empress Dowager on her lap: "Your Majesty the Crown Princess, you don't know that Doctor Hu has already returned home a month ago. The Empress Dowager thinks that he is old, That's right. This imperial physician has also served as a deacon in the imperial hospital for many years, so he is trustworthy."

Su Qing thought for a while, but she was still a little worried, and said, "Queen Mother, can you ask the maid next to my concubine to check your pulse? She is the dowry girl of my concubine's natal family, and she has also learned medical skills from famous experts. "

Nanny Sun was taken aback for a moment, and then turned her head to persuade Queen Mother Su: "Queen Mother, please, it's just in case anyway."

Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Su glanced at Su Qing and nodded, then stretched out her wrist: "Yes."

Xia Meng received Su Qing's signal, stepped forward to salute the queen mother, and felt the pulse of the queen mother.

After investigating the pulse case, Xia Meng frowned slightly, and looked at the Empress Dowager Su with some hesitation: "I wonder if the Empress Dowager can allow slaves to try it with gold needles?"

Hearing this, Su Qing knew that Xia Meng must have found something, but did not explain, so she looked at Queen Mother Su.

Empress Dowager Su is also a smart person, when she heard Xia Meng's words, she knew there must be a reason, she nodded and said, "Yes."

Xia Meng untied a small purse at her waist, spread it out, and saw dozens of gold needles, large and small, stuck in it.

She took out a thin needle about three inches long from it, passed it over the nearby candlelight, and then held the gold needle and inserted it into the side of the Empress Dowager Su's middle finger.

Empress Dowager Su only felt a sharp pain, and subconsciously took a deep breath.

"The empress dowager forgives my sin!" Xia Meng took back the golden needle and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

Empress Dowager Su smiled: "What is your crime for seeing Ai's family? Tell me about the results of your diagnosis."

Hearing this, Xia Meng glanced at Su Qing, and after receiving the affirmation in the latter's eyes, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, this is not a cold, but a symptom of poisoning!"
