Comprehensive film and television: The cool life of the female supporting role after the cross-dress

The Queen Mother was not in a hurry to ask about Zhen Huan's condition, nor was she in a hurry to check Zhen Huan's medication. Instead, she asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

She said, "I remember that Wan was still a court lady at that time, and she had offended the Queen and Concubine Yun. After she fell ill and moved to Jiaolu Pavilion, she had no chance to see the Emperor."

"It's amazing that Doctor Wen is so kindhearted that he is willing to diagnose Wan Da Ying and prescribe medicine on time."

Wen Shichu and Zhen Huan were both caught off guard by the Queen Mother's seemingly gentle and ordinary words.

Only then did they realize how unreasonable their actions after reporting the illness were in the eyes of others.

The imperial physicians serve the masters of the Forbidden City, which are the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess.

The pulse diagnosis of other concubines and princes and princesses required additional fees, and this was under ideal circumstances where the imperial physician did not take advantage of the situation and flatter the powerful and bully the weak.

For a court lady like her who was neither favored nor had any foundation and was also suffering from an infectious disease, even if she could invite an imperial physician, it would be difficult for the physician to devote his wholehearted efforts and come to prescribe medicine for her and take her pulse on time.

How could she be so careless before and reveal such a big flaw.

Moreover, she, Wen Shichu, and Cui Jinxi all thought that they had done a perfect job and would be able to hide the truth.

Now that I think about it, I was really being too clever.

In a dilemma, Zhen Huan could only confess the less important information and said, "Your Majesty, Doctor Wen's father and my father are old friends."

"That's why Doctor Wen takes good care of me."

Wen Shichu agreed, "Yes, Wan's father has done a favor to my father."

"So that's how it is." The Queen Mother smiled amiably and raised her hand slightly. "Why are you so nervous? I was just asking casually. Once I understand clearly, I will feel relieved."

"Not to mention that the imperial physician is also a man, even if he is a rootless one, the collusion between the concubine and the eunuch is a serious crime that will bring disaster to the Yan family."

Those light words made Wen Shichu feel like a bucket of ice water was poured over his head. Cold sweat covered his forehead and cheeks, and flowed down his skin to the back of his ears and neck.

But he didn't dare raise his hand to wipe it.

When Zhen Huan came to him for help, he thought that as long as Sister Huan could be happy and live a better life, it would not matter if he sacrificed his life.

But he never thought that if the truth came to light, his elderly parents would be implicated or even lose their lives.

But now I’m afraid that the Queen Mother has become suspicious.

"Hiss!" Wang Ruofu wanted to speak, but was stepped on by the empress dowager who had anticipated it.

This time the Queen Mother did not play tricks on her and said bluntly: "Queen, you are tired today, just stand by and listen to what I have to ask."

"Zhu Xi, why don't you quickly change the tea for the queen and serve a few more plates of snacks? She has been running around for several laps, so she must be hungry."

As soon as Wang Ruofu opened her mouth, she was fed a piece of osmanthus cake, blocking her mouth. She could only stare blankly: "Hmm, Hmm!" There is something wrong with Wen Shichu!

"..."

Even Wang Ruofu noticed it. Of course, an old fox like the Queen Mother would not miss it. This was the result of her deliberate act.

As the saying goes, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to come. When Wen Shichu was terrified for helping Zhen Huan to conceal the truth, the Queen Mother asked immediately.

"Since Wan agreed to contract a seasonal disease, as the imperial physician, you not only did not remind her to leave the palace to recuperate, but instead allowed her to go out and relax."

"Oh, there are so many people in the palace. If one person spreads the news, ten people will spread it to a hundred people. Can you afford the consequences?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother slammed the table, her stern expression evident.

Wen Shichu was so frightened that he knelt down immediately, not caring about reconciling his testimony with Zhen Huan. He only wanted to ensure that his innocent parents would not be implicated.

He said, "My Queen Mother, Wan Da Ying's illness had already healed at the beginning of the month, but Wan Da Ying was weak and frail, so I did not report it to the Queen Mother in time, hoping that Wan Da Ying would recuperate for a while longer."

"Go get the medicine that Doctor Wen prescribed for Wan Da Ying recently."

Wen Shichu closed his eyes.

The lies made up in a panic were naturally not perfect, and the mistakes were discovered with a simple check.

The Queen Mother sneered: "You said Wan promised that her illness would be cured at the beginning of the month, then why is she still taking the same medicine during this period?"

"Did Wan Da Ying take the wrong medicine this month, or has he never taken the right medicine?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan hurriedly said, "Doctor Wen is a skilled doctor. This must have been an unintentional mistake. I guess it's because I've been ill for too long..."

"Wan agreed, you really need to change your bad habit of interrupting others. The Queen did not punish you wrongly that day, but you didn't learn your lesson." The Queen Mother's tone was always steady, stable and gentle.

Unlike Wang Ruofu's furious yelling, her slow, sarcastic and accusatory manner can make people feel genuinely ashamed and embarrassed.

Wang Ruofu held her chin high, looked at Zhen Huan with contempt, took a sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty is right. Wan Concubine has copied the palace rules a hundred times but still can't remember them. I guess she is just naturally dull."

The words were said in a sarcastic tone, and her eyes and tone were full of smugness, which clearly showed that she was adding insult to injury.

Even the Queen Mother can’t do it, “…”

"Eat more cakes, Queen. Don't be hungry."

Wang Ruofu: “…” Why do I feel like you think I’m stupid?

The Queen Mother looked away to make her attitude clear.

"Let's not talk about the palace rules for now, and let's get back to the prescription. Send someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite two imperial doctors to take a look at the effects of this prescription." The Queen Mother ordered.

When she was still Concubine De, she was able to assign imperial physicians to the Prince's Mansion many times. After becoming the Empress Dowager, her network of contacts only increased.

Even if there is no imperial physician as proficient in all subjects as Wen Shichu, there are enough of them that there will always be someone who can understand it.

Doctor Shu stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother and Wang Ruofu, and said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, this prescription is not for treating seasonal diseases, but for weakening the body."

"what?"

Wang Ruofu opened her mouth in shock, half of the cake in her mouth spurted out, and the other half slid down her throat.

"Cough cough!"

The Queen Mother held her forehead and said, "Quick, show it to the Queen."

After a lot of fussing, she finally calmed down. The Queen Mother looked at her seriously and said, "Be obedient and don't cause any trouble for me."

Wang Ruofu was filled with hatred and looked at the Queen Mother with great resentment. You just think she is stupid! You don’t want to play with her anymore!

"..." The Queen Mother miraculously understood what Wang Ruofu meant. She curled her lips and said against her will, "You are the Queen. You only need to control the overall situation. Talking to them simply lowers your status."

It took a lot of nice words to appease Wang Ruofu.

When she looked at Wen Shichu and Zhen Huan again, the tense atmosphere was gone and the Queen Mother didn't want to beat around the bush any further.

He said casually, "Tell me, whose idea was this prescription, or was it the idea of ​​both of you?"

Zhen Huan did not say anything, but looked at Wen Shichu eagerly, with tears in her eyes and an obvious pleading expression.

Under normal circumstances, Wen Shichu would definitely not betray Zhen Huan and would just take on the responsibility alone, but now, he also has to consider his parents.

"Your Majesty, it was Wan who agreed to let me do this."
