Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

Gyeongin Palace

Jianqiu reported to Yixiu, "Empress, the Emperor has bestowed upon An Changzai the title of noble lady, and has also bestowed upon her mother the title of sixth-rank official, and has also granted her a large mansion."

A smile appeared on Yixiu's red lips. She didn't expect that she would help An Lingrong this time.

The emperor and the empress dowager have always had a grudge against each other, but he didn't expect that in this life, An Lingrong would actually enter his heart.

In her new life, Yixiu already knew that her opponents were not the women in the harem.

An Lingrong's mother is still in her hands, and Yixiu is not worried that An Lingrong will betray her.

It is always good when your own people are favored.

Jianqiu was a little worried, "The Emperor is now doting on Concubine An, will he..."

Yixiu laughed out loud. She warned him jokingly, "Jianqiu, you've been by my side since we were little, but don't do anything foolish in the name of doing good for me. Honghui is already an adult, skilled in both literature and martial arts. Even if a new woman gives birth to a beautiful girl, it won't shake his position."

Yixiu noticed the secret in Jianqiu's heart. She lowered her head in guilt and replied, "I know."

"Today seems to be the day when the imperial physician sent by the Nian family enters the palace. Tell Xiudong to tell the people below to open their eyes and ears and know what they should see and hear. Don't forget your responsibilities."

Yixiu did not forget to explain.

Jianqiu replied, "I obey your command."

…………

On the palace road, the palace maids from the Empress Dowager's palace were leading Doctor Chen, who was sent by the Nian family, to Shoukang Palace to treat the Empress Dowager.

Doctor Chen has been serving Nian Gengyao since he went to Qinghai. He is also a smart man who knows when to advance and when to retreat.

Therefore, even when entering the palace, one must observe the most proper etiquette.

I never dare to take a second look or ask about things that I shouldn’t look at or ask about.

After arriving at Shoukang Palace, Zhuxi came out to personally welcome Doctor Chen.

She smiled and said, "Doctor Chen would like to wait here for a while. He can only go in after the Empress Dowager issues an order."

Doctor Chen nodded in agreement and waited for a while before Zhu Xi took him in.

Before Doctor Chen entered the palace, someone had already taught him etiquette.

Doctor Chen knelt on the ground and greeted the Empress Dowager, saying, "I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."

The Queen Mother's voice was very calm, "Get up!"

Doctor Chen quickly stood up, and at Zhuxi's signal, he took the handkerchief from the medicine box and placed it on the empress dowager's wrist.

But the more Doctor Chen took the Empress Dowager's pulse, the more frightened he became. Judging from her pulse, the Empress Dowager was healthier than himself!

Why do others tell me that the Empress Dowager has been bedridden for a long time?

He was worried that he was too nervous and had not taken the pulse properly, so he carefully took the pulse again.

The Queen Mother's voice rang out at this moment, "How is my health? Those old men in the Imperial Hospital all said that I was weak and said a lot of other things. What do you think?"

Doctor Chen repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the empress dowager's health, but the empress dowager herself said that she was not in good health.

He couldn't refute the Empress Dowager in person, so he could only whisper, "My medical skills are not very good, and I'm afraid my opinion is similar to that of the doctors in the Imperial Hospital. Could you please let me take a look at the Empress Dowager's medical records before making any arrangements?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Well, Zhuxi, take Doctor Chen out! Remember to reward him with a few taels of silver for the trouble he made."

Doctor Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "It is an honor for me to treat the Empress Dowager. How dare I ask for a reward?"

Zhuxi took Doctor Chen away. The two went to Zhuxi's room, and Zhuxi handed the pulse case sent in advance by the Imperial Hospital to Doctor Chen.

Zhuxi hinted indirectly, "Everyone in the palace says the Queen Mother is in poor health and cannot tolerate any supplements. This illness has never been cured. I wonder what Doctor Chen thinks."

Doctor Chen's heart tightened. He subconsciously looked at Zhu Xi and whispered, "I wonder what Auntie thinks!"

Zhuxi knew he was on to something, so he continued to hint, "This person isn't sick, but everyone around her says she is. You're the only one who sees it. So what will people think of you then?"

Doctor Chen smiled awkwardly, "Then I'll probably be considered a lunatic!"

Zhuxi nodded in satisfaction. "But on the contrary, if a person is clearly sick, but everyone around her says she is not sick, what should we do?"

Doctor Chen didn't quite understand, so Zhu Xi immediately continued, "The imperial physicians in this palace all have the same tongue. If you tell someone something, not only will it be useless, but it could even lead to fatal consequences."

Doctor Chen suddenly remembered that the main purpose of his entry into the palace this time was to treat Concubine Hua.

Cold sweat broke out on his head, and he met Zhuxi's eyes cautiously.

"But, if another imperial physician tells this, then..."

He didn't dare say the second half of the sentence. Deceiving his superiors, isn't this a serious crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the clan?

Zhuxi smiled and shook his head, "No, all the doctors in this palace have the same tongue."

After Zhuxi's reminder, Doctor Chen also understood what was going on.

He immediately stood up, bowed to Zhu Xi, and said, "My medical skills are not very good. The prescriptions written by the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital are all fine. I may not be able to prescribe anything better than this, so I won't show off my skills in front of an expert, okay?"

Zhuxi took out a bag of silver from his bosom and stuffed it into Doctor Chen's hand.

"No matter what, Doctor Chen, you've taken the trouble to come here. This is a gift from the Empress Dowager, so don't refuse it."

Doctor Chen quickly knelt down to receive it, "Thank you very much, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, for this reward."

After leaving Shoukang Palace, Concubine Hua sent someone to bring Doctor Chen to Yiku Palace.

As soon as Doctor Chen entered Concubine Hua's room, he smelled the scent of musk.

His face changed, but thinking of Zhuxi's reminder, he could only pretend to be calm and bowed deeply to Concubine Hua.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Hua, and may the Empress Hua live in peace and happiness."

Concubine Hua lazily said, "Get up, Doctor Chen. I heard you were in Qinghai, serving your brother. You must have worked hard. Songzhi, bring out the reward I prepared for Doctor Chen."

Songzhi carried a tray of silver, walked up to Doctor Chen with a smile, and handed it to him.

Hua Fei used both kindness and force, saying, "But Doctor Chen, this one hundred taels of silver may not seem like much, but if it hits someone on the head, it can kill them."

Doctor Chen was scared to death, but he always kept in mind the reminder from the Empress Dowager's palace and did not dare to say a word.

After he took Hua Fei's pulse, he found that Hua Fei's body was seriously damaged and she was afraid that she would never be able to have a child again in this life.
