The wives of the concubines are empresses

Half a month after joining the job, Minglan was already wearing the specific official uniform for female officials.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to General An and Lord Wang."

"No gift."

The people following Minglan knelt down to pay their respects.

"I am here to see the Emperor."

Hearing this self-proclaimed title, Shangguan Wanjun frowned slightly.

"Are they?"

Minglan explained, "Your Majesty, they are the concubines of Lord Wang's legitimate son."

Shangguan Wanjun glanced at Commander Wang and saw that he kept his brows lowered.

"So they want to leave?"

Minglan nodded: "Yes."

Shangguan Wanjun put down her red brush and looked at the ten concubines, all of whom were beautiful women.

"I'll leave this matter entirely to you."

After saying that, she looked at Commander Lord Wang.

"Master Wang, please go home."

Commander Lord Wang bowed respectfully and said, "I'll take my leave."

Seeing that he was walking very fast, Shangguan Wanjun curled her lips and smiled.

Minglan and Liu Cheng looked at each other, and then looked at the emperor.

"Did these ten leave voluntarily?"

"Yes."

Shangguan Wanjun accepted a cup of mint tea from Qiangwei at the Tea Fragrance Courtyard and asked, "Where's the compensation?"

Minglan said respectfully, "I gave it all to each of you, five hundred taels."

"Okay, send them out of the palace."

When Minglan turned around, she heard the emperor's words again.

"Let's bring that Zhang Zhuang or something into the palace." I almost forgot about this person.

After they all left, the imperial study suddenly became quiet.

Shangguan Wanjun was afraid that General Anyong would be bored, so she kept her head down and asked him questions.

"General, why don't you leave the palace and take a look at the mansion granted to you?" Bored General An Yong was taken aback. "Okay, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Looking at the relatively empty imperial study, Shangguan Wanjun continued to work hard, filling in the imperial comments on each memorial.

When it came to the ordinary memorials, Shangguan Wanjun frowned as she read them.

"He talked a lot of nonsense." He talked too much nonsense, so I gave him a comment to warn him.

You talk too much nonsense. Say something useful, otherwise I will hold you accountable.

Humph, the following pieces are getting more boring than the last.

Liu Cheng saw that the emperor had finished reviewing the memorial in a flash and was deeply puzzled. There was nothing important written in this memorial?

On a small letter of greeting, the handwriting was so ecstatic that Shangguan Wanjun wrote, "Young man, practice your handwriting. If you write so poorly next time, I'll give you twenty lashes of the cane."

Humph, I told you not to write properly and pollute my eyes. I'm going to piss you off to death.

It's another letter of greeting. There's not a single useful word in it, but it's just top-notch flattery.

Shangguan Wanjun wrote in a serious tone, "If you keep talking so much nonsense next time, I will make you clean the toilet."

Shangguan Wanjun read through dozens of unimportant memorials at a glance and finished reviewing them in just two quarters of an hour.

After finishing her work, Shangguan Wanjun happily picked up the teacup, took a sip, put it down, crossed her hands and stretched them out for a while, and she felt revived.

"What time is it?"

Liu Cheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it is already 5:45 in the afternoon."

Shangguan Wanjun lamented the passing of time: "That ex-fiancé of so-and-so hasn't arrived yet?"

A guard came in and bowed, "Your Majesty, Lord Ming has brought a man and a woman to see you."

The woman was still holding the man, and I don't know why Lord Ming brought them in.

Looking at the man being carried in, Shangguan Wanjun suddenly spoke.

"Let him sit."

Minglan hurriedly arranged: "Yes, Your Majesty. Sit here, and take your time."

Zhang Xinzhuang felt a little embarrassed. He thought it was a bit offensive to the emperor to see him in this disabled state.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Thank you for your consideration and for allowing me to sit down."

The other party's humble and decent attitude left a good impression on Shangguan Wanjun.

"No problem, sir, have you seen the doctor?"

Zhang Xinzhuang's mother bowed quickly upon hearing this: "I, He, pay my respects to the Emperor. My son hasn't seen a doctor in the past two years."

It was really because of their previous experience of seeing a doctor that they were afraid and it also exacerbated their son's bad temper.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanjun looked at the woman, whose old age, haggardness and lifelessness were fully reflected in her.

"Excuse me, how old are you?"

He was startled and replied in great fear, "Your Majesty, I am forty-two years old this year."

Shangguan Wanjun was shocked. Her mother was forty years old this year. The difference in expression and appearance between the two was too great.

If you say a woman is sixty, she will absolutely believe it.

Zhang Xinzhuang did not miss the shock, astonishment and disbelief in the emperor's eyes, and immediately felt deeply ashamed.

He was really unfilial to his mother and had been a burden to her for too long. His mother didn't have to be so old originally.

The moment Shangguan Wanjun, who had shifted her gaze, met Zhang Xinzhuang's eyes, she could see self-blame, shame, resentment and other emotions in his eyes, the only thing missing was disdain and irritability. It seemed that this man could still be saved.

"Xiao Liuzi."

"The slave is here."

"Go to the Imperial Hospital and call all the doctors."

Liu Cheng was shocked. Did the emperor want the imperial physician to examine the man with a broken leg?

After receiving the emperor's oral order, the imperial doctors all rushed to the imperial study with their medicine boxes.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty rest in peace."

"No need to be polite, just let this gentleman take a closer look."

The imperial doctors were stunned when they saw the person pointing at the emperor's finger. Aren't they here to treat the emperor?

Scare them.

The doctors took the man's pulse and examined his legs. After some discussion, they felt that his leg injury was too serious and the possibility of recovery was less than 10%.

Seeing the imperial doctors sighing, He became very anxious. She wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to open her mouth for fear of offending them.

Shangguan Wanjun took in the expressions of everyone present.

"Minglan, please arrange for the guards to go to Ming Mansion and bring your sister into the palace." An idea suddenly came to her mind.

Minglan bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Listening to the chattering of the imperial doctors, Shangguan Wanjun did not urge them. She wanted to see how long Zhang Xinzhuang could endure.

The emperor didn't speak, and no one dared to speak first.

The head physician, Wang Taiyi, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we have reached a conclusion through discussion."

Shangguan Wanjun glanced at Zhang Xinzhuang and saw his expression change, then she opened her red lips slightly.

"explain."

"This young master's injuries are too severe, and his recovery may be less than 100%, and..."

Doctor Wang glanced at Zhang Xinzhuang, not knowing whether he should speak or not.

Shangguan Wanjun looked at Zhang Xinzhuang: "Do you want to know the true condition of your body?"

The emperor's question made Zhang Xinzhuang stunned.

"Grassman..."

"Let me ask you this in a different way: do you want to recover?"

Zhang Xinzhuang's eyes lit up. "Can this commoner recover?"

The imperial doctors' brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a mosquito to death. The emperor didn't know the seriousness of the matter. Logically speaking, there was no possibility for the young man's leg to recover.

He also looked at her only son.

Time passed little by little, and Zhang Xinzhuang looked up after half a cup of tea.

"I want to recover, but I know it's very difficult." He is now a useless person.

"Doctor Wang, please go ahead."

She was thinking about how many of the people who retreated from the battlefield had broken legs or were disabled. If she could solve those people's worries, it would surely be a very meaningful thing.
