Zhen Huan specifically told Wen Shichu that if anyone asked, she would just tell him to check on her father's condition and never mention the Shuhen glue.
But if they don’t mention it, they don’t know what outsiders think.
In a blink of an eye, the day came for Zhen Huan to be crowned a concubine. The emperor wished that there was no need to go to Jingren Palace. After the canonization ceremony, Zhen Huan could just go and greet the Queen Mother.
The queen did not expect that the emperor would slap her in the face like this and not even let her go to the canonization ceremony.
"Mother, what should we do?"
Jianqiu was naturally very anxious.
"The epidemic in the palace comes and goes, and we have to do something to help the emperor."
The queen knew that she couldn't get out now, and the solutions she could think of were limited, but if she had made a contribution, it would be easier.
"What do you mean, empress?"
I don’t know much about Jianqiu.
"I have a prescription for treating the epidemic. Please take it out and ask Jiang Fuhai to use it for those who have contracted the epidemic but have not been cured."
The Queen knows pharmacology, so she didn't come up with a single prescription for treating the epidemic, because she was afraid that she would have nothing to use when she needed credit.
Jianqiu took it over with some understanding.
"Then let's start with the people in our palace first."
"Slave, please let Jiang Fuhai handle it."
Jianqiu went down after saying that.
The queen looked at Jianqiu's back, and was glad that she spared a hand when Wen Shichu started to treat the epidemic.
The people in his palace didn't completely believe in Wen Shichu. He just added some warming herbs to Wen Shichu's prescription so that they would be obedient. Then the credit belongs to him.
Sure enough, not long after, the emperor came.
"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."
Although the queen knew that the emperor would definitely come if he knew that he had written this recipe, she still had to pretend to be confused: "Why is the emperor here in his spare time?"
The emperor looked at the queen. She still had a virtuous smile on her face and seemed not to mind that she was locked up in the palace. The emperor felt a little guilty.
"I heard that you have developed a prescription for epidemic diseases, which is very effective."
"When I was leisurely in the palace, I heard that the current epidemic in the palace was not cleared up, so I thought that I had nothing to do anyway, so I asked the people in the palace to try my recipe. Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good."
The Queen pretended to evade and said: "I never thought that Jiang Fuhai had a fellow countryman with whom he had a good relationship. He was not cured by the epidemic, so he thought of giving him the recipe to try. Unexpectedly, it spread like this. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." crime."
"You have researched the prescription for the epidemic and solved the epidemic that has not been solved in the palace. What crime do you have?"
Although the emperor was suspicious and guessed that the queen wanted to go out, he had to ask.
"The Emperor decreed that Jingren Palace should be closed, but Jiang Fuhai couldn't bear the loss of his fellow villagers, so he begged Concubine, who allowed him to go out. So I ask the Emperor not to blame Jiang Fuhai. All the faults are Concubine's alone. "
What the queen said is a profound and righteous statement.
"Get up quickly."
The emperor asked the queen to get up: "You have been sick for so many days, and now you look much better. Since you are well, Jingren Palace no longer needs to be locked up."
The queen was overjoyed, but before she could say anything, the emperor continued: "But my body is not suitable for physical exertion, so Concubine Hua has the final say in matters concerning the Sixth Palace."
"What the Emperor said is absolutely true."
No matter how unhappy the queen was, she couldn't show it. After all, it was good to be able to go out.
"By the way, I was sick before, so I didn't give my concubine anything to celebrate her concubine and pregnancy. A few days ago, when I was packing up the things left by my sister, I found a pair of jade pillows. , thinking of giving it to Wan Bin so that she can sleep better at night."
The Queen asked Jianqiu to take the things over as she said this: "Your Majesty, can you see if it's okay?"
"Her stuff is naturally excellent."
The emperor was naturally thoughtful when he heard about Chun Yuan, so when he looked at the things Jian Qiu handed over, the sound was not as loud as before, as if he was trying to see people through things.
"As for Jianqiu, you can go to Chengqian Palace to give it to Concubine Wan."
The queen had to give it away in front of the emperor, otherwise she wouldn't have bothered to find any pillows.
"Your Majesty, would you like to stay for dinner?"
The queen knew that the emperor would not refuse at this time.
"Okay, maybe I haven't dined with the Queen for a long time."
The emperor smiled and nodded, looking at the queen as if looking at Chun Yuan.
However, although Yi Xiu and Chun Yuan are biological sisters, their looks are very different.
That's why the emperor prefers Zhen Huan.
"Then I'll go get ready."
The queen was very happy to hear that the emperor stayed for dinner, and quickly went to the small kitchen to prepare the emperor's favorite dishes.
As soon as Jianqiu went to Chengqian Palace to deliver things, it was equivalent to telling the Sixth Palace that Jingren Palace could come and go.
By night, the news that the emperor was staying at Jingren Palace was known to everyone in the harem.
Fang Chunyi felt much relieved when she heard the news. As soon as the queen came out, the people arranged by Amma would be able to enter the palace soon.
But when An Lingrong heard the news, he took a deep breath.
Although the relationship between her and Zhen Huan has eased somewhat, they are still not in a situation where they are on the same team. What will she do if the Queen comes out now?
"My lord, what if we go and tell the truth to Concubine Wan?"
Baojuan looked at An Lingrong's face and said carefully: "We have done nothing wrong to the Empress Wan and Hui Gui. It's just that when the Empress forced you to harm the noble Fu Cha, we accidentally hurt the Empress Wan. Now even Chun Changzai dared to give orders and threaten you, but you are extremely scared now and really don't want to harm Concubine Wan."
Every word of Bao Juan's words spoke to An Lingrong's heart, but it made An Lingrong more and more defensive.
Baojuan is so smart. If she hadn't been young, she would not be a simple little palace maid. She would have no problem being a palace maid in charge.
"My young master, I am devoted to you, and naturally I am also to myself."
Baojuan said unabashedly: "Only if you are well, my status in this palace will be stable. I am alone and have only one sister, Baoque, but she is too young, so I have to take care of myself and my sister. "
An Lingrong knew that Baojuan and Baoque were sisters, but she didn't understand what Baojuan wanted.
"Then what do you want me to do? Or what do you want from me?"
An Lingrong asked.
"I want my sister to leave the palace when she is old enough to find a good family and no longer be a slave."
Baojuan knelt down as she said this: "I will spend my whole life repaying my little master."
