Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Concubine Yu decided to take action to protect her son. Without hesitation, she sent her men to the Ministry of Punishment and gave them a secret mission - to strangle Zhiheng to death.

She believed that this was the only way to eliminate future troubles and ensure that Hong Zhou would no longer be threatened. She also used excessive torture as an excuse to make people think that it was just an accident.

In addition, Concubine Yu did not intend to let Aman go. She was very worried that one day Aman would tell others about her son's molestation of her, so she immediately sent someone to the embroidery workshop to invite Aman over.

However, what was unexpected to Concubine Yu was that her palace servant came to report: "Madam Concubine, A-Man is no longer in the embroidery workshop. She was taken away by Concubine Gao and became her personal maid. I'm afraid we can't touch her easily now..."

After hearing the news, Concubine Yu said angrily: "What a useless thing, go and accept the punishment yourself!"

She was full of resentment towards Aman, but was helpless due to Concubine Gao's power and could not easily take action against Aman. She realized that she needed to take a long-term view and find a better opportunity to deal with Aman.

Although Concubine Yu had pleaded with the emperor before, it was of no avail.

This time, she decided to go to Shoukang Palace to ask the Queen Mother for help.

When she arrived at Shoukang Palace, Concubine Yu respectfully presented her with a plate of snacks she had made herself.

After tasting a piece, the Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction and asked softly, "The Forbidden City is really boring. Don't you want to go to Changchun Garden with me to worship Buddha?"

The Queen Mother seemed to be aware of Concubine Yu's distress and tried to make her relax in this way.

Concubine Yu sighed and said in a heavy tone:

"People often say that illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. Hong Zhou's serious illness almost cost him half his life! I was really worried, so I decided to stay and accompany him to recover."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly to show her understanding and said, "I hope Hong Zhou will remember your motherly love."

Concubine Yu continued, "Your Majesty, Hong Zhou regrets what he has done! If he had not recovered and was unable to get up, he would have come to the palace to apologize to you early!"

However, this time the Queen Mother did not nod. Instead, she looked at her meaningfully and then shook her head gently:

"The emperor is very concerned about the brotherhood and has tried his best to protect Hong Zhou. He had a lot of unpleasantness with the royal family before. Now, the storm has not settled. You'd better let Hong Zhou stay in the royal family to recuperate and don't leave rashly."

Concubine Yu seemed to have something else to say, but the Queen Mother's expression suddenly became stern and she said lightly: "I feel a little tired, you can leave first."

Concubine Yu hesitated to speak, and finally did not dare to say another word. She bowed and left. When she left Shoukang Palace, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and it appeared on her face.

"It's all caused by those bitches!" Concubine Yu twisted the handkerchief in her hand and said with gritted teeth, "Not only did they cause my son Hong Zhou to fall seriously ill, but they also caused me to be disliked by the Queen Mother!"

Concubine Yu was fully aware of the seriousness of the situation and that she was powerless to do anything.

So she decided to show her cards, go to the emperor to plead for mercy, and asked her servants to send some of his favorite snacks to the emperor.

When the emperor received the snacks, his thoughts went back to the time when Hong Zhou mischievously stole the snacks but accidentally saved his life.

Now, seeing these familiar snacks, he understood that Concubine Yu was using this method to remind him of the life he owed.

After careful consideration, the emperor finally agreed to ask Doctor Ye to go to the clan house to treat Hong Zhou, and he could return to the palace after being detained for another three months.

However, Hong Zhou was severely punished with thirty lashes of the cane, and coupled with excessive shock, his situation was rather critical.

After Ye Tianshi arrived at the clan house, he carefully examined Hong Zhou and finally came to the conclusion: although Hong Zhou had saved his life, he would become no different from a eunuch from now on.

However, Ye Tianshi knew in his heart that this matter was actually related to his disciple.

Therefore, he chose not to tell Concubine Yu the truth, just like the doctors in the clan house, but only comforted her by saying that Hong Zhou would definitely get better.

After that, Wei Yingluo happened to go to the Imperial Hospital to find Ye Tianshi.

The two of them still pretended to be at odds with each other at first, and then they waited until all the imperial doctors around them had left before they dared to communicate in a low voice.

Wei Yingluo said she wanted him to go to Changchun Palace to diagnose the Queen's pulse and regulate her body.

Ye Tianshi naturally agreed, but the atmosphere between the two was a little strange. Ye Tianshi looked at Wei Yingluo and said seriously:

"You are so bold. When you asked me for those herbs that were the raw materials for aphrodisiacs a few days ago, I knew something was going to happen!" Ye Tianshi shook his head helplessly.

Wei Yingluo looked innocent: "Master, that's called evil will be punished, and what kind of punishment is this for the Prince of Heqin?"

Ye Tianshi's eyes went dark, and he lowered his voice and said, "Isn't it a punishment? He has become a 'eunuch'!"

"What? Really? That's great. Master, please don't lie to me." Wei Yingluo was overjoyed, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

She wondered in her heart, if Hong Zhou really became an "eunuch", would he no longer be able to harm his sister?

Ye Tianshi looked at Wei Yingluo's smug look and felt his vision go dark. The next moment, he felt dizzy and was about to faint.

Wei Yingluo quickly pinched Ye Tianshi's philtrum, "Oh my, Master, what's wrong with you?" she asked with concern.

Ye Tianshi took a breath, patted his chest, and glared at Wei Yingluo: "You are going to piss me off to death!"

Wei Yingluo curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "Master, who made you so timid and fearful?"

Ye Tianshi sighed helplessly and said, "You said it yourself. It's more important to save your life in the Forbidden City!"

Wei Yingluo replied confidently: "Of course, but if you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman!"

Ye Tianshi wanted to persuade her again, but Wei Yingluo quickly blocked his mouth: "Alright, alright, Master, I will be more careful in the future. Now let's go to Changchun Palace to check on the Queen's condition!"

Having said that, she pulled Ye Tianshi away.

The two of them trotted all the way to Changchun Palace, and Wei Yingluo brought Ye Tianshi to the Queen. Ye Tianshi carefully felt the Queen's pulse, then frowned, looking embarrassed.

Seeing this, the Empress asked softly, "Doctor Ye, how is my health?"

Ye Tianshi hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly:

"In reply to the Queen, your body is fine after Yingluo's care, but if you want to fully recover, you may need another medicine - Sacred Heart Grass."
