After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

"I'll take a look at Concubine Jing later, maybe I can help her with her conditioning. It's a good thing for the emperor to have someone who understands his feelings." Cui Rongrong smiled gently, knowing in her heart that the empress dowager had already understood her intention.

At present, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor has eased slightly, but in the future, when the Queen Mother takes charge of government again and rules the world together with the Emperor, if there is someone around the Emperor who can say a few good words for her, it will undoubtedly greatly change the situation.

Not long after, with the sound of light footsteps, Fang Fei led Concubine Jing slowly into the inner room.

In the inner room, candlelight flickered and the air was filled with a faint scent of incense.

Seeing Cui Rong standing beside the empress dowager's brocade couch embroidered with golden dragons and phoenixes, holding an exquisite white porcelain teacup with the aroma of tea wafting in her hand, Concubine Jing's eyes flashed with a subtle change that was hard to detect. Then she quickly restrained the waves in her heart and made a standard and elegant salute to the empress dowager sitting on the high seat, with a gentle and respectful tone: "I am here to greet you, the empress dowager. May you be blessed for a long time."

"At that birthday banquet, I unfortunately caught a cold. Although the imperial physician was invited immediately, it seemed that the medicine was ineffective and I was unable to recover. I was really terrified, afraid that the disease would be passed on to the Empress Dowager and destroy the peace and tranquility of your auspicious occasion. I was really uneasy." Concubine Jing's voice was soft, but it could not hide her inner worries.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled lovingly, and her eyes, which had seen so much vicissitudes of life, showed some sincere concern: "You still look a little weak, don't force yourself to hold on, Fangfei, quickly find a comfortable place for Concubine Jing to sit down and rest."

Imperial Concubine Jing thanked her softly, her voice gentle: "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. Your thoughtfulness makes me feel warm in my heart."

After saying this, she turned her gaze gently to Cui Rong, with a warm smile on her lips: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, the daughter of the Cui family has grown into such a pretty girl. I remember when we first met, you were just an innocent little girl."

"You fought side by side with General Cui on the frontier and together you have guarded the peace of Bian Tang for many years. Your hard work and contributions have ensured the stability and prosperity of the country." Concubine Jing's words were full of praise.

Cui Rongrong bowed modestly, her voice clear and sincere: "Noble Concubine Jing, you are too kind. These are the duties that my father and I should fulfill as subjects. We only hope that the people can live and work in peace and that the country can become stronger day by day."

"Just now, the Queen Mother learned that you were coming, and she was very concerned about your health. She specially ordered me to examine you. If you don't mind my poor medical skills, I am willing to examine you carefully, hoping to help you recover soon."

Her eyes lightly swept over Concubine Jing. Although she looked a little tired, her natural beauty was still hard to conceal. The sick Concubine Jing added a bit of fragility to her beauty, which made people feel pity for her involuntarily.

Concubine Jing smiled softly and said, "Even though I'm sick, I've heard that Miss Cui is an excellent doctor. If you can help me recover and regain my health, I will be very grateful."

As she spoke, she meekly stretched out her slender wrist. Cui Rong immediately stepped forward, placed his fingers lightly on her pulse, and looked focused.

As soon as she felt the pulse, Cui Rong's eyebrows slightly frowned, and she calmly withdrew her hand, saying in a serious tone: "How did the imperial physician who treated the imperial concubine before diagnose her? What specific medicinal materials did the prescription include?"

Hearing this, Imperial Concubine Jing's eyes flashed with sadness: "Over the years, I have had trouble sleeping every night. In order to get a moment of sleep, I had to take a lot of tranquilizers, but the result was counterproductive and hurt the root. Now if I want to recuperate, I am afraid I need to use more powerful drugs, but I have been taking medicine for many years, but I still have more dreams and less sleep. When I asked the imperial doctors, they just said it was a normal reaction to the treatment."

Cui Rong pondered for a moment, and said cautiously, "Can you let me check the specific prescription? Maybe we can find some clues from it."

Concubine Jing immediately ordered the palace maid beside her to return to the palace to get the prescription.

The palace maid took the order and hurried out the door soon.

The Queen Mother looked at Cui Rongrong, her tone mixed with some worry: "Rongrong, what is the physical condition of Concubine Jing?"

Cui Rongrong's eyes lightly passed over Imperial Concubine Jing, and her words were both implicit and cautious: "Your Highness has suffered from insomnia for a long time, and her body is already very weak. Even precious supplements are difficult to have a significant effect."

"I dare to speculate that perhaps the imperial physician made some omissions in the prescription, which led to the imperial concubine's illness not being cured for a long time. Of course, I dare not jump to conclusions. I have to read the prescription before I can make an accurate judgment."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother and Concubine Jing exchanged meaningful glances with each other. Obviously, they both realized the key to the problem - the prescription!

It is just a seemingly simple case of insomnia, why is there no improvement after years of treatment?

Soon, the palace maid returned in a hurry, holding the crucial prescription tightly in her hand.

Cui Rongrong took the prescription and quickly glanced through it. A sharp light flashed in her eyes. She found something unusual in the prescription:

"The Imperial Concubine's prescription was indeed written for the treatment of insomnia, but the dosage of the medicine was twice as high. Such an improper method of decoction and administration will not only fail to exert the medicinal effect, but may even aggravate the Imperial Concubine's condition."

"It may be that the imperial physician was negligent when dispensing medicine, which caused the health of Concubine Jing to become weaker and weaker. I will prescribe a new prescription for you right now. It only takes a few days of recuperation, and I believe that your health will slowly recover."

After she finished speaking, she immediately called Fangfei, took out paper and pen, and quickly wrote down a new prescription on the paper.

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Jing calmly and said to Fangfei, "Fangfei, please help Concubine Jing get the medicine later to prevent any mistakes from happening at the Imperial Hospital. During this period, Rongrong has been helping me recover, and Fangfei has also been visiting the Imperial Hospital frequently, so Concubine Jing doesn't have to work hard herself."

Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Jing quickly stood up and bowed deeply, her voice full of gratitude: "Thank you for your grace, Queen Mother. I will remember it in my heart."

The Queen Mother smiled and replied, "No need to be so polite, Imperial Concubine Jing. The Emperor is busy with government affairs, and I only have Rongrong and Fangfei to talk to. When you recover, come and sit with me often, keep me company, and talk to relieve my loneliness."

Concubine Jing nodded meekly, she lowered her eyes, knowing in her heart that the empress dowager's protection was often accompanied by political considerations.

Cui Rongrong handed the new prescription to Fangfei, raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of the subtle interaction between the Queen Mother and Concubine Jing, and thought to herself that it was time to leave.
