Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 267
Suo'etu's situation is gone, according to the emperor's intention, there is Nalan Mingzhu's handwriting in this matter.

Knowing that there was Nalan Mingzhu's handwriting, the emperor was helpless.

Suo'etu was to blame, and Nalan Mingzhu played the role of catalyst and guide at most, and Suo'etu was undoubtedly the one who committed the crime.

Even if it wasn't Suo'etu, the emperor still wanted someone to do the surgery.

Otherwise, the Fujian Navy may be hindered by more obstacles from Beijing.

When Suo'etu fell, Nalan Mingzhu also succeeded, but Tong Guowei was the most proud.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that some of Suo'etu's henchmen that the emperor had not cleared up gradually became attached to him.

Of course, these slaves who have lost their masters will not only rely on his family.

Tong Guowei's greatest achievement is not these courtiers, but the prince.

Originally, he believed that although the prince was the adopted son of Concubine Tong, the relationship was not close.

What's more, Suo'etu, a direct maternal grandfather, is in power, so he may not have a high opinion of the Tong family.

It's all right now, Suo'etu has fallen, and if the prince wants to be safe, he can only rely on him, Tong Guowei.

A grandfather who is not a relative will also become a relative.

Not only he understands this truth, but also the courtiers...

Chen Wenxin originally thought that Concubine Tong Gui would definitely show off her might and flourish at such a time.

Unexpectedly, Tong Guifei fell ill again.

She used to get sick in winter, and it was said that it was because she was too pious in front of the Buddha, so that she was frozen in the cold Buddhist hall.

Why is she sick again in the hot summer?
The illness this time seems to be a real illness, there is no need for Tong Guifei to pretend to be ill and avoid it in the glory.

She asked the eldest mother in private, and said that Concubine Tong Guifei had a strange illness, and Imperial Physician Lu couldn't see anything, but it seemed that there was nothing serious about it.

It was Lu Zong who gave Concubine Tong the pulse?
Then she asked the big nanny what to do.

That night, Chen Wenxin pretended to have a loss of appetite and invited Lu Zong to have a pulse.

"Your Majesty, excuse me, can you come up with a better excuse next time?"

The word loss of appetite has nothing to do with Chen Wenxin.

"Oh."

Chen Wenxin silently put down the lychee in his hand, "Doctor Lu, do you know what disease Tong Guifei has?"

What she said was straightforward, without any foreshadowing, which made people feel ashamed.

Is this the attitude of inquiring about news?
Simply put, the emperor didn't intend to hide this matter from her, otherwise Lu Zong would really think about it.

"Go back to your mother, Concubine Tong is suffering from heat symptoms."

She frowned, "Are you looking at me? Concubine Tong Gui doesn't go out to do anything, how could she suffer from heat stroke?"

"Weichen hasn't finished talking yet."

Lu Zong said in a calm manner: "It's just that I have this symptom, I don't think it's heatstroke. I prescribed some cold medicine for the imperial concubine, I think it's okay."

Cold medicine?The name sounds cool.

But why did she feel that something was wrong? Didn't the palace use herb, tangerine peel, and Houpu to treat the symptoms of summer heat?
I have never heard of any proprietary medicine called cold medicine.

"What is this cold medicine?"

"It's a drug that causes women's uterus to be cold."

Lu Zong didn't shy away from it either, there was plenty of this stuff in the hospital, but it was up to the emperor who would eat it.

Chen Wenxin was taken aback for a moment, she knew that Lu Zong would not lie to her.

Lu Zong is the emperor's most trusted imperial physician, and his actions represent the emperor's will.

It suddenly occurred to her that Concubine Tong Gui hadn't had any childbearing problems in the ten years since she entered the palace.

Could it be that this is not the first time for her to take this cold medicine, the cold palace is too severe, so it is difficult for her to conceive?
Lu Zongdao: "In the past, Concubine Tong Guifei had a fever and poisonous heat, and she became lazy in midsummer. Therefore, she used this medicine for conditioning in summer, and became more afraid of cold in winter."

This cold medicine will not only make women's uterus cold and difficult to conceive, but also cause side effects in the middle of winter.

That is to be more chilly.

No wonder, it is said that although Concubine Tong's small Buddhist hall does not have a stove, she will not freeze herself alive.

It turns out that there is such a hidden secret in it.

Chen Wenxin nodded, this kind of palace secret matter sounds a bit creepy.

"How could she still suffer from heat stroke after taking the cold medicine for many years?"

It was rare for Lu Zong to explain to her seriously, "Concubine Tong Guifei's constitution is different from others, so she is prone to heatstroke. This cold medicine does have the effect of relieving it, but it uses the method of constricting it, not really dredging the heat of the body."

"Your Majesty thinks about it carefully, the heat and poison brought by the mother's womb in her body is always suppressed in her body. It has been more than ten years now, can't it be suppressed?"

She nodded and thought carefully, indeed.

When she first entered the palace, she had never heard that Concubine Tong Gui was weak and sick, and she had always had a strong temper.

How come the longer she stays in the palace, the more she feels that her body is getting weaker every year?

One winter is sicker than one winter.

She is the same age as the emperor, and she is only thirty this year, and she is still at an age where she still has charm.

But with a pale complexion and loose skin, she doesn't look as young as the older Concubine Hui.

If you want to put it together with the emperor, it is said that both the mother and the son believe it.

In the past, Chen Wenxin only thought that it was Concubine Tong who devoted herself to worshiping the Buddha and was too negligent in maintaining her appearance.

But would the women in this palace really neglect their appearance?
Even if she was negligent, the palace people around her were not vegetarians.

Ah.

If you can neglect your appearance, you don't have to compare the color of clothes and the style of jewelry every time you have a banquet.

Now all of this can make sense, Concubine Tong's body has been damaged by the medicine long ago, so naturally she can't maintain her appearance.

You know, no matter how delicate the makeup looks, it also needs a good skin foundation.

If the body is not well adjusted, the face always looks old and haggard.

For example, she herself, since taking the blood swallow, the emperor has asked General Heilongjiang to send it continuously.

It's also a coincidence that Bird's Nest Mountain has harvested a lot in the past two years, so she has been eating it until now and hasn't finished it yet.

In the past, her appearance was excellent, but she often made people feel cold and pale.

Up to now, the skin is faintly tinged with blood, and the skin looks rosy and fair, and looks more beautiful.

This is all because of the inner body.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help pity Tong Guifei, "I'm afraid she won't know until she dies, the emperor gave her..."

Lu Zongyuan was sitting, drinking tea in his spare time.

The taste of this year's spring tea is really good, and someone like Chen Wenxin must preserve it carefully so that the fragrance will not linger in the summer.

Hearing Chen Wenxin's words suddenly, she hurriedly interrupted her: "Madam, I'm not happy if you doubt your medical skills. This cold medicine is indeed to cure her body heat poison, but it has some side effects."

Although the emperor did push the boat along the way, he made a move in terms of weight, which made Concubine Tong's body weak.

But Concubine Tong's fever has been suppressed for many years.

If not, she would also be unable to escape the fate of dying young.

If Chen Wenxin thinks that the emperor simply used drugs to harm Concubine Tong Gui and deliberately prevented her from having children, then it would appear that he, an imperial doctor, would only harm people and not save them.

Chen Wen gave him a blank look, "The truth is all yours."

In the future, if she has any illness or childbirth, she will definitely not look for Lu Zong.

This person is ugly, and his thinking is a bit out of tune.

She can find Imperial Physician Gua, who is an expert in women and children, and is also a sensible person recognized by the emperor.

- Doctor Gua, also the emperor's confidant.

"Then, the heat poison of the past ten years can't be suppressed, what should we do now?"

Lu Zong shook his finger at her lightly, "Your Majesty is wrong again, this fever is not more than a dozen years, but a full 30 years."

He was satisfied with Chen Wenxin's white eyes, "It's just been rejuvenated by the humble minister and suppressed for more than ten years. Now this heat poison is faintly breaking out, so Concubine Tong has been suffering from heat stroke recently, groggy and lazy. lazy."

According to Lu Zong, the heat poison cannot be suppressed, and Concubine Tong Gui is just showing symptoms of heat stroke.

"When the summer is over and the weather cools down, it will be fine. Without the heat source, her heat poison won't be able to radiate."

"It's that simple?"

Chen Wenxin couldn't believe it. She stared at Lu Zong, always feeling that this person was trying to trick him.

Why is he respectful to his little wife in front of the emperor, and not afraid at all in front of himself?

It must be because I didn't think he was ugly like the emperor!

"Of course it's not that simple. In this winter, she will be more afraid of the cold. In the summer of next year, she will be more afraid of the heat. It goes on and on and on and on."

This cycle is not a constant cycle, but the body is getting worse and worse.

That means……

She will go on like this until she dies.

Chen Wenxin didn't dare to ask any more questions. If she asked any more, she could only ask one question——

When will Concubine Tong die?
This is too vicious.

She picked up the teacup on the table, her cup of tea was already cold.

Bai Lu hurriedly stepped forward to take the teacup, her face a little embarrassed.

Lu Zong gloated and said, "Miss Lu listened with the same enthusiasm as the empress, and she forgot to be an errand."

No wonder Bai showed his god, this matter is really no small matter.

Seeing that she couldn't cover it up, Bai Lu took the initiative to plead guilty.

"The servant was stunned, and forgot to change the master's tea for a while, so he should be beaten!"

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood for tea either."

She had known for a long time that the emperor was ruthless towards Concubine Tong Gui, but she did not expect that it would be to such an extent.

However, according to Lu Zong, the emperor just pushed the boat along with the current, and in fact, he also kept Tong Guifei's body safe for more than ten years.

She shouldn't demand that the emperor be kind and righteous to Concubine Tong, even if she thinks it's cruel.

If the emperor treats Tong Guifei with affection, she will also be sad that she cannot fully win the emperor's heart, right?
Fish and bear's paw cannot have both.

Chen Wenxin rested his chin and looked into the yard.

"Why don't you light two more lamps today? It will be difficult for the emperor to walk when he comes back. Look at the courtyard, it's as dark as the face of Doctor Lu."

"Cough cough..."

Physician Lu choked on a mouthful of tea and was in a dilemma.

He cursed secretly in his heart, this Concubine Qin really holds a grudge...
