The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Half an hour later, the sky became dim and the sun was blocked by sudden dark clouds, making the Changshou Palace look pitch black, like a cold palace.

Gu Junshen was followed by a group of people, who hurriedly arrived in front of the Changshou Palace.

Although his resentment towards the Queen Mother had not disappeared, when he heard that she was seriously ill, he felt inexplicably panicked for some reason.

Scenes of the Queen Mother and him spending time together when they were young began to emerge in his mind.

Those images were like fragments, flying towards his head.

When he arrived at the palace gate, he stopped for a long time, and finally took heavy steps and walked in.

"That's all..."

Under Chuntao's guidance, Gu Junshen soon arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom.

This was the first time he came here since he ascended the throne. In the past he had always been in the palace next door, but now that he came here, he did not have any special feelings.

Hearing the noise outside, the empress dowager's lifeless eyes finally showed some spirit.

"But Shen'er is here?"

Listening to the Queen Mother's soft voice, Gu Junshen felt a pang of bitterness in his nose for some reason.

His eyes couldn't help but look towards the empress dowager's direction. Looking at the old and extremely thin empress dowager, he felt like a stone was blocking his heart.

In front of the Empress Dowager's bed, the imperial physician was diagnosing the patient. His facial expression changed abnormally, sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing.

After a long while, the Queen Mother put away the diagnosis pad, knelt down and bowed to Gu Junshen, saying, "Your Majesty! The Queen Mother's body is seriously depleted. If it is not replenished in time, it may endanger her life."

"Don't you usually give meals to the Queen Mother?"

Gu Junshen said in a deep voice, standing aside and looking at the Queen Mother's Chuntao with concern, and said with a guilty look on his face, "The Queen Mother has had a poor appetite recently. She vomits after eating. If she doesn't eat at all, I will be guilty of a thousand deaths. I hope the Emperor will punish me!"

Chun Tao said this, feeling that she could not shirk her responsibility, and knelt down towards Gu Junshen.

"It's because I can't eat it. It's not Chuntao's fault."

Although the Queen Mother was weak, she was conscious the moment Gu Junshen arrived. When she heard that the palace maid who had followed her the longest was about to be punished, she still gathered her breath and said something.

"Mother, there is no need to say more. Your health is the most important thing." Gu Junshen said casually after hearing this.

He had no intention of blaming Chuntao.

"Mother!" At this moment, an extremely anxious voice came from outside.

The person who came was Huai'an King Gu Jintang.

As soon as he learned the news that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, Gu Jintang could no longer sit still and immediately entered the palace, fearing that something unexpected would happen to the Empress Dowager, which would make him regret it.

Therefore, he came to Changshou Palace as quickly as possible the whole time.

After entering the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Gu Jintang never stopped.

He first bowed slightly to Gu Junshen: "Your Highness!"

Then he took a few steps and came to the Queen Mother's bedside. His eyes softened instantly. He gently raised his hand, hovering over the Queen Mother's quilt as if he wanted to touch it but didn't. His tone was a little anxious: "Mother, it's Jin'er! Is your body feeling better?"

"It's just that I feel a little weak! It's rare for you to come here."

The Queen Mother's tone was not angry, but there was a hint of complaint in her words.

Gu Jintang felt mixed emotions when he heard this.

"Imperial Physician! Is mother's illness serious?"

"Report to Prince Huai'an. The Queen Mother is weak and in poor health. If we delay, I'm afraid..."

……

Yanxi Palace.

Gu Chenyu and Gu Jinxuan were just returning from the study. As soon as they entered the hall, they bumped into Nanxiang who was about to go out.

The two asked in unison, "Where are you going, mother?"

Seeing the two people coming home from school, Nanxiang nodded to Caiyun who was standing beside her, and then she walked over to the two of them and took the book.

Then she said in a dignified tone, not allowing for refusal, "The Queen Mother is seriously ill! Mother is going to visit her! You should come with me."

There was a flash of thought in the eyes of the two little ones. They understood the importance of this trip, and before they could say anything, they waited for Nanxiang to pull them away.

In fact, when Nan Xiang heard that the Queen Mother was seriously ill, she was not surprised, nor did she feel any guilt.

Although the Queen Mother was seriously ill, she was indispensable in helping her.

But this was what she deserved. If the Queen Mother had been more obedient when she was giving birth last time, she would not have received her revenge now.

At this time, she also had a guess about how much extra dose of medicine powder the cook had put in last time. It should be a lot, which directly affected the functioning of the Queen Mother's entire body and caused complications of old illnesses.

When Nanxiang arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom in Changshou Palace, she found it extremely lively.

Almost all the concubines in the harem came, except the queen.

Although she knew that so many concubines would come, as the imperial concubine she could not attend.

Nan Xiang walked straight through the crowd towards the Queen Mother's bedroom. They were too low in status to enter, but she could.

She also wanted to see how seriously ill the Queen Mother was.

She walked in front of Gu Junshen, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty!"

"You came!"

"How is the Queen Mother's condition?"

"Now that I've taken the medicine, I'm much more stable!"

After hearing Gu Junshen's reply, Nan Xiang turned her gaze towards the bedridden empress dowager.

She saw that the empress dowager looked even more miserable than she had expected. Her face had become smaller and her cheeks were sunken. It seemed that her entire face was just skin and bones.

Breathing was also a little difficult and I was a little wheezing.

'It seems to have affected the lungs!'

……

After the Queen Mother's condition stabilized, Gu Junshen dismissed everyone. Nan Xiang did not stay long either. Seeing the Queen Mother's current condition, she already had some guesses in her mind.

If she treated him, there might be a chance for him to recover to a full extent. But under the imperial physician's current treatment, he might not even recover half of his strength.

The Queen Mother's current illness is a cyclical symptom. If one aspect is cured, it may cause another aspect to worsen. Therefore, the medical skills of the imperial physician are put to the test at this time.

At noon the next day, after Gu Junshen finished his morning court session, he received a request for a meeting from Qin Chenyang.

Gu Junshen was also curious about this person, so he agreed.

When he saw Qin Chenyang, there was a bit more regret in his eyes.

Qin Chenyang is not small in stature, more than eight feet tall, but now he is as thin as a stick, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

He thought, if such a talented person had not suffered such injustice, he would have brought much merit to the Northern Dynasty.

Seeing this, Gu Junshen’s gaze softened a lot.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! Thank you for clearing my name." Qin Chenyang knelt in front of Gu Junshen and bowed respectfully.

Seeing this, Gu Junshen immediately stepped forward and helped him up.

"You're too polite, General Qin."

However, Qin Chenyang's body did not move at all. Although he was thin, he was very strong.

"I wonder why you came to see me this time?"

Gu Junshen looked at Qin Chenyang who was reluctant to get up in front of him, put his hands behind his back, sighed softly and asked.

"Lord Li said that the emperor granted us a wish."

After hearing this, Gu Junshen raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Chenyang with more disappointment.

I thought Qin Chenyang came here to continue to contribute to the court and the country, but I didn't expect he came here to make a wish.

"Say it!"

"I hope the emperor will release my sister Luqi! I am willing to take the blame!" Qin Chenyang bowed respectfully, his tone full of pleading.

Gu Junshen understood what he said, and took a deep look at Qin Chenyang, who was bending his tall body very low and almost crawling on the ground, and thought for a moment.

"Forget it! I'll grant you your permission. But you can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life. Luqi will still be punished!"
