Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

The emperor has been busy with state affairs these days, and the empress dowager has been seriously ill and bedridden. Shen Wei was too proud for a moment and actually had a secret meeting with a stranger in broad daylight.

Lu Xuan clenched her sleeves.

She knew that the opportunity to bring down Shen Wei had come.

Although Xiaoqin was excited, she still retained a trace of rationality. Xiaoqin said: "Master, Concubine Chen has always been bold and careful. Could such a big mistake today be a trick?"

Lu Xuan's lips curved: "Don't miss this opportunity."

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, so it is worth taking the risk.

Moreover, Lu Xuan is pregnant. Even if she makes a mistake, the emperor will show some leniency for the sake of the child in her belly.

...

into the night.

Yongning Palace was quiet and the room was warm like spring. Shen Wei lay on the pillow, wearing a light white cotton nightgown, with the hem of her clothes lifted up, revealing a white and flexible waist.

The palace lanterns in the room were bright, and the light was soft, which made the skin around her waist look very white, and some dense red marks from silver needles could be vaguely seen on it.

"Be gentle, it may sting a little." Shen Wei lay on the pillow, her brows slightly frowned.

Li Yuanjing dipped his fingers in ointment and applied it carefully to her.

He had practiced martial arts for many years, and his fingers were covered with calluses. He rubbed the milky white ointment between his fingers onto Shen Wei's waist, causing a slight sting.

After a while, Shen Wei's waist turned red.

She grimaced and tried to get up to apply the medicine herself. Li Yuanjing held her down and raised his eyebrows, saying, "In the harem, I have only applied medicine to you. Lie down."

Shen Wei snorted and lay down obediently: "Then Your Majesty, please be gentle. I just had acupuncture on my waist and it still hurts a little."

Li Yuanjing applied the medicine patiently.

He actually enjoyed the process of taking care of Shen Wei, as if he was taking care of a not-so-obedient white cat.

Li Yuanjing asked: "How many more days of acupuncture are needed?"

Shen Wei yawned and slowly closed her eyes: "Five or six days."

Li Yuanjing moved gently, his bony fingers lingering on the slender waist. After a while, he heard the faint rise and fall of breathing.

Shen Wei actually fell asleep.

From Li Yuanjing's angle, he could see half of Shen Wei's face. Her fair face was pressed on the soft pillow, slightly bulging, very cute. The soft light of the palace lantern sprinkled on Shen Wei's face, giving her a feeling of peace and tranquility.

Li Yuanjing looked at Shen Wei for a moment, put the ointment on the table, wiped the ointment off his fingers, and then hugged Shen Wei to sleep.

...

...

The next day, afternoon.

Shen Wei washed and dressed herself up, and put on the new clothes that had just been delivered by the Clothing Bureau.

She took Cai Lian and two palace maids and went to the Imperial Hospital in a low profile. Recently, the Queen Mother was depressed and could not be cured by medicine. Shen Wei looked through the Queen Mother's pulse records and told several experienced old doctors to cure her.

After wandering around the Imperial Hospital, Shen Wei asked Cai Lian to keep watch at the door under the pretext of admiring the chrysanthemums in the backyard, and she slipped into Mo Xun's room.

Mo Xun was taking a nap. She sat up sleepily and rubbed her eyes: "My dear concubine, why are you here again!"

Shen Wei sat beside the couch: "You continue to sleep, I will read the storybook for a while."

Mo Xun muttered to himself, "He's really cunning."

After saying that, Mo Xun turned his head back into the warm quilt.

Mo Xun's room is not big, and the bookshelf in the corner is filled with medical books and folk story books.

The sun shone through the paper-covered windows, filling the room with bright light. Shen Wei leaned against the bed, flipping through a storybook with great interest. Beside her, Mo Xun slept in a sprawling state.

At the same time, Xiaoqin, the senior palace maid beside Lu Xuan, came to the Imperial Hospital.

Xiaoqin held the medicine bag in her hand and called the head of the Imperial Hospital, who was angry and scolded: "Doctor Li, what medicine did you prescribe for the Empress? After my Empress took it, her lower abdomen has been aching."

The old doctor turned pale with fear: "This... This is unlikely. I will go to Changxin Palace and check the pulse of the queen."

Xiaoqin snorted coldly, opened the medicine package in front of the old doctor, and took out a few moldy herbs.

Xiaoqin pretended to be angry: "You bunch of imperial doctors, you get generous salaries, but you give moldy herbs to my queen. One day my queen will report to the emperor and chop off your heads."

It is a serious crime to give moldy medicinal herbs to concubines in the harem.

The old doctor trembled: "It is impossible for medicinal materials to be moldy--"

Xiaoqin rolled her eyes and deliberately scolded: "It must be that the herbs in the warehouse got damp and became moldy in the hot weather! I'm going to go to the warehouse to see if there are any other moldy herbs."

As she spoke, Xiaoqin strode towards the backyard of the Imperial Hospital.

The old doctor exclaimed: "Oh, you are going in the wrong direction, that is the resting place for the imperial doctors."

But Xiaoqin walked too fast and pretended not to hear.

Xiaoqin led the two young eunuchs and quickly walked to the backyard. At the backyard gate, Xiaoqin ran into Cailian who was watching from Yongning Palace.

Cailian's face suddenly turned cold, and she blocked Xiaoqin's way: "You are not allowed to enter."

Xiaoqin pretended to be surprised: "Aunt Cailian, why are you here?"

Cai Lian said nothing.

Xiaoqin smiled, with malicious intent in her eyes. "Don't stop me. These mediocre people in the Imperial Hospital actually gave my queen moldy herbs. I must go to the warehouse and look for evidence myself."

Cailian wanted to stop her, but the two eunuchs behind Xiaoqin stopped her. Xiaoqin strode into the backyard and pushed open the closed door.

bang-

The door opens.

Xiaoqin walked in, yelling, "This storeroom is so dark, they don't even know how to turn on the lights - Oh! Imperial Concubine Chen! Why are you here?"

The room was filled with the aroma of medicine. Shen Wei was getting dressed, and Doctor Mo was sleeping soundly on the bed beside her.

The sound of the door opening was so loud that it woke up the sleeping Mo Xun.

Xiaoqin covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes sparkling with excitement. In broad daylight, Concubine Chen was having an affair with Doctor Mo, and her clothes were disheveled!

Very good!

If this matter were to reach the ears of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, Concubine Chen's road to glory and favor would come to an end.

Xiaoqin pretended to be terrified. She staggered out and raised her voice again: "I didn't mean to see you! Please forgive me, Your Majesty! I'm leaving now!"

Xiaoqin ran away in a panic, and she deliberately spread the news along the way, alarming the entire Imperial Hospital.

The imperial doctors were dumbfounded.

There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Concubine Chen came to look for Mo Xun every day, and the imperial doctors saw it all. But no one dared to offend Shen Wei, and they all kept the secret in their hearts.

The imperial doctors were worried after Xiaoqin exposed the scandal today.

I'm afraid things are going to change in the harem.

Shen Wei put on her clothes and walked out of the Imperial Hospital calmly, as if nothing had happened. After a while, Mo Xun, who had slept well, changed into the official robes of the Imperial Physician and came to work with sleepy eyes.

The imperial doctors were stunned. With his scandal exposed, how could Imperial Doctor Mo still have the mind to stay on duty?

"Doctor Mo." An experienced old doctor stroked his beard and said with a look of regret, "You have superb medical skills and a handsome appearance, how could you go astray!"
