The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

In Xuanyuan Mengyao's bedroom.

At this time, Xuanyuan Mengyao, who had been served and cleaned by the palace maids, was lying on her carved wooden bed.

After all this trouble, Xuanyuan Mengyao still didn't wake up.

The imperial physician took Xuanyuan Mengyao's pulse and left.

Queen Xie was sitting outside Xuanyuan Mengyao's bedroom at this time, and the nanny beside her was massaging her shoulders.

After the imperial physician came out, he carried a small medicine box and walked quietly to Empress Xie and knelt down.

Half a cup of tea later, Empress Xie opened her eyes. She raised her hand to signal the nanny not to press anymore, then she looked at the imperial physician kneeling below.

"How is the princess?"

"Your Majesty, the princess's right hand is extremely red and swollen, as if she had touched something that was burned by fire."

"Is the princess awake?"

The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, "The princess is still asleep now."

"Well, go down and get the medicine." Queen Xie frowned and waved her hand. The imperial physician responded in a low voice and quickly retreated.

Queen Xie sighed and raised her arm slightly. The nanny who had just given her a massage immediately stepped forward and lifted her arm.

Empress Xie was supported by the nanny and walked into Xuanyuan Mengyao's bedroom. A palace maid was kneeling beside the bed and applying medicine to Xuanyuan Mengyao's palm.

Queen Xie took a glance and saw that Xuanyuan Mengyao's right palm was indeed very red and swollen, and a lot of the skin was already burnt red.

"Have you asked everyone who was with the princess before?"

The palace maids around Xuanyuan Mengyao now are all new ones. The ones who followed her before were captured by the Queen's people and are being questioned outside.

"I've asked, and it's similar to what the second prince said. I don't know why, but when the princess saw that woman, she immediately got angry and confronted her." The speaker was the old nanny who had just given Queen Xie a massage.

She glanced at the queen's face, as if thinking about how to continue her statement. Finally, she quickly thought of the words and continued, "The princess must have known the woman in advance. From what she said first, it should be related to the King of Qi."

"What?"

"I didn't expect you to hook up with the Second Brother. You seem to be quite resourceful. I wonder if Qi Lingheng knows that you are such an unfaithful person."

After hearing this, Queen Xie frowned even more tightly.

It seems that Xuanyuan Mengyao has been spoiled too much.

Now he speaks without any thinking.

Is this something a princess should say, especially in the palace?

I guess Emperor Jing should have heard about it by now.

Thank you Queen, and glance at Xuanyuan Mengyao who is lying on the bed.

"The princess's injury is quite serious. You are not allowed to leave Mengyao Palace within half a year." After saying that, Queen Xie took her people away.

Now, most of the people in the princess' palace have been replaced, especially those who used to serve her closely, who have all been replaced by Queen Xie.

The princess has become what she is now, not only because of the queen's negligence and doting, but also because of the people who serve her.

Queen Xie was also hoping to find a good husband for Xuanyuan Mengyao so that they could provide support to her son.

But no news about any man can be spread before marriage.

Xuanyuan Mengyao, who was still unconscious on the bed, never imagined that her mother, who had always loved her, would not punish the people who hurt her because of what she had done in the palace, but instead confined her to her place of residence.

Not long after Su Tang returned to Plum Courtyard, Eunuch Fu came with his men.

Emperor Jing had previously said that he would let Eunuch Fu take Su Tang to visit the newly bestowed princess's mansion.

Eunuch Fu originally wanted his most capable eunuch to lead Su Tang and the others out of the palace first.

After all, he rarely left Emperor Jing on weekdays, so when he went out of the palace to do business this time, he also had to give instructions to the eunuchs who continued to serve Emperor Jing in the palace.

But later, they had to deal with the incident caused by Xuanyuan Mengyao. There were too many eunuchs and palace maids present at the time, and many of them had to be punished to prevent them from spreading the news, so it was delayed for a while.

"Grand Princess, is it convenient for you to go with me to see the house now? The house is not far from here." Eunuch Fu showed a kind smile on his slightly plump face.

"I don't have anything to do. Let me go with you to take a look." Su Tang was also very kind to Eunuch Fu.

This eunuch, who has been favored by the emperor for decades, is more powerful than anyone else in the palace!

They have been in the palace for a long time, and are knowledgeable, meticulous, and skilled.

Whether it is the power struggle in the palace, the open and secret struggles in the harem, or the solicitation and suppression of court officials, they can handle it with ease.

Moreover, they often have close relations with the emperor, can influence the emperor's decision-making, and even possess some important confidential information.

Therefore, their status and influence cannot be underestimated, and they are more powerful and threatening than anyone else in the palace.

Fortunately, this person has shown kindness to Su Tang so far, and Su Tang is happy to respond with kindness. Having one more "friend" is always better than creating an enemy for yourself.

Although Eunuch Fu has been with Emperor Jing for many years, up to now, many concubines and princes in the palace still treat him as only a servant of the lowest rank.

Eunuch Fu was very touched by the respect Su Tang showed him.

Eunuch Fu bowed to Su Tang and said, "Then, Grand Princess, let's go now."

Eunuch Fu made a gesture to invite them in, and the young eunuch behind him immediately turned around and led the way.

Eunuch Fu came in the palace's carriage. The style of the palace's carriages was obviously different from those outside, and outsiders could recognize them at a glance.

There were two small teams of palace guards leading the way in front and behind the carriage, which made it look very impressive.

Eunuch Fu personally lifted the curtain and invited Su Tang to get on the carriage, and he followed.

The interior of the carriage was very spacious. Not only was there a small table with cakes and tea, but there was also an ice basin to cool the carriage down.

"The princess mansion that His Majesty has rewarded you is in the East District. It was originally the residence of a princess of the previous dynasty. However, it has been vacant since it was taken over by His Majesty. Usually, only eunuchs and palace maids clean it, and no one has lived in it..." Eunuch Fu told Su Tang about the situation of the rewarded mansion.

By the time Eunuch Fu had almost finished his speech, the carriage had arrived outside the princess's mansion.

Su Tang got out of the car, looked up and saw a magnificent mansion not far ahead. Its scale and grandeur made her eyes light up.

This mansion is the legendary princess's mansion. Its architectural style is unique and elegant, giving people a sense of solemnity.

Especially the towering gate of the mansion is amazing.

In comparison, the second prince's mansion outside the palace was simply dwarfed by the big one.

At the gate of the princess's mansion stand two huge stone lions, lifelike and majestic.

At this time, the gate of the mansion was open, and two guards dressed in the uniforms of imperial guards stood on each side of the gate to guard it.

Eunuch Fu and his companions' carriage stopped there, and the guards immediately half-knelt and saluted the people who got out of the carriage.

"Meet the Grand Princess."

It seems that the news of her coming had been received in advance.

Su Tang followed Eunuch Fu into the princess's mansion, where the roofs of the houses and corridors were covered with golden glazed tiles.

The golden tiles glowed in the sunlight, which was very beautiful.

There are several crabapple trees planted in the courtyard. Their trunks are thick and sturdy. They must be old items in this mansion.

"Most of this mansion remains in the same state as it was in the previous dynasty, except that some special items have been taken away." Eunuch Fu explained to Su Tang as he led the way.

"Just look at it. If there's anything you don't like, I'll ask them to change it for you."

"Hehe, these all look good to me." Su Tang replied with a smile.

"If you want to change anything later, please tell the people in the palace. His Majesty has already said that if there is anything missing in the palace, you can ask for it."

"Well, thank you, Eunuch Fu, for reminding me."

"It's my duty. His Majesty has instructed me to do this. I will do it for you, right?" Eunuch Fu smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.

After passing through the front yard and the garden, Su Tang and Eunuch Fu arrived at the main courtyard.

The house in the main courtyard is even more beautiful. Even Su Tang, who doesn't know much about wood, can tell at a glance that the wood used to build the main house is of top quality.

Moreover, the wood carving techniques of the carved beams and painted buildings inside and outside the house are more exquisite and vivid than those in other courtyards.

“The wood in this main house is all red sandalwood. Look, the carvings are more than a hundred years old, but they still look so beautiful.

It is said that after the craftsmen finished the work here, in order to prevent other places from having the same skills, the previous dynasty actually sent all the craftsmen to build the imperial mausoleum, and in the end they were all arranged to be sacrificed alive in the imperial mausoleum. "

At this point, Eunuch Fu couldn't help but sigh.

Su Tang walked on the floor tiles with the same patterns on them and followed Eunuch Fu into the main room.

The main room is luxuriously decorated, and the walls are pink. It turns out that this room is also a concubine's room.

"This room is the Pepper Room. Even the Queen's Fengyi Palace today does not have such regulations." Eunuch Fu exclaimed, pointing at the pink wall.

"However, the soft furnishings on this Baibao Agarwood bed are all new, and the bed has been wiped several times, so you can rest assured."

"Well, thank you for your concern, father." Su Tang nodded with satisfaction.

After touring the princess's mansion with Eunuch Fu, Su Tang didn't want to change anything. Some private items, such as the bathtub, had already been thought of by Eunuch Fu and replaced with new ones.

As for antiques and ornaments, there is no need to replace them.

Seeing that Su Tang had nothing to complain about, Eunuch Fu clapped his hands gently.

Then two well-dressed maids came in.

"Greetings, Grand Princess." After the two maids came in, they bowed and greeted Su Tang.

"This is Nanny Li, and this is Nanny Liu. They are both old maids by your Majesty's side. They will stay here to serve you first. If you are used to them, you can keep them. If you want to replace them with someone more convenient for you, you can ask someone to go to the palace to find me, and I will help you get it done."

Eunuch Fu is a sensible man. Now that Su Tang has just been recognized by Emperor Jing, he is feeling extremely guilty.

Moreover, Concubine Su died when she was extremely favored. When Emperor Jing saw Su Tang, who looked exactly like Concubine Su, his feelings for her must be different from those for other princes and princesses.

So when talking to Su Tang, Eunuch Fu, who had always been respected by the concubines and princes in the palace, actually lowered his posture again and again.

Eunuch Fu accompanied Su Tang on a tour of the princess's mansion and then returned to the palace. Emperor Jing was used to him and he couldn't leave for too long.

Su Tang didn't stay in the princess's mansion for long. She asked two maids to call the palace maids, eunuchs and guards in the mansion.

Everyone had met Su Tang, so it was considered a acquaintance, so that when Su Tang came by herself in the future, these people would not be able to recognize her and bump into her.

Back in the Plum Courtyard, Su Tang called the four maids, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, and explained to them that she would move to the Princess's Mansion in the future and asked them to go with her.

Su Tang only planned to take the four of them with her, and as for the others, they could just stay in Meiyuan.

Anyway, the Plum Garden is her private property now. When the plum blossoms bloom, she will come and stay for a few days to enjoy them.

On the second day, Su Tang took Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong to the princess's mansion.

She didn't bring much with her, so she and her belongings went to the princess's mansion in a carriage.

At this time, the plaque of the princess's mansion had been completed and hung at the gate.

The five large gold-plated characters "Grand Princess's Mansion" are very eye-catching.

The guards at the door were the same four people Su Tang had met yesterday. When they saw Su Tang, they knelt down again and saluted, "Greetings, Grand Princess."

"Well, I moved here today. I may have to go in and out frequently in the future. The gate of the princess's mansion should be open on weekdays. I just need you to keep an eye on it."

"This is our subordinates' job." Several guards replied respectfully.

Su Tang was not a stingy person. She gave Chunmei a look, and Chunmei immediately stepped forward and gave each of the guards a purse.

Several guards felt the heavy bags of money in their hands and were very happy.

After Su Tang entered the mansion, the guards at the door finally mustered up the courage to open the purse and take a look.

"Wow, it's a ten-liang gold ingot!" a guard said in surprise.

Even the guards who worked in the palace all year round had never received such a large reward.

Su Tang's idea is to reward those who deserve reward and punish those who deserve punishment. She is not stingy in rewarding them with silver now. If they make unforgivable mistakes in the future, Su Tang will naturally not be lenient.

Su Tang also rewarded other people in the mansion with silver and money. Although it was not as much as the guards, it was still five taels of gold.

Su Tang stayed in the mansion, but she was not in a hurry to bring Old Man Su and the others to Beijing.

The fact that Empress Xie was able to harm Concubine Su when she was in favor was because she was giving birth at the time, but it also shows that Empress Xie's power in the capital should not be underestimated.

Before Queen Xie and the forces behind her were completely eradicated, Su Tang felt that it would be safer for Old Man Su and his family to stay in the valley of Dahe Village.

She left some hot weapons for the soldiers who remained in the valley, which were more than enough to deal with the ancients.

Also, Thirteen, whom she had accepted before, also stayed in Dahe Village. It was not easy to avoid Thirteen's assassination of the Su family.

As Su Tang moved into the Grand Princess's Mansion, the news that Dayong had a new Grand Princess soon spread throughout Kyoto.

All the forces in the court were extremely surprised. They had not received any news before. Inexplicably, there was a princess in the palace, and she was the "Grand Princess" conferred by Emperor Jing himself.

This kind of honor has never happened before.
