Virtuous Ugly Empress - C184
The young imperial physician took the medicine from the hands of the younger palace maid and passed it to Wang Rong. “Fortunately, before Master left, he prepared a medical book for me, written with the names of many diseases the Empress might have contracted, and his diagnosis and treatment. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it.”
The young imperial physician was called Yang Liu, Xu Duzhong’s disciple.
“So, please don’t pretend to be sick. It will come true if you pretend to be sick.” She had waited until everything was in order, even for His Majesty to move to the panther palace before she invited the imperial physician. At that time, there had not been any indication that the physician would come, but the young imperial physician had said that others could not handle the Empress’s illness and had to force him to do so.
After a series of sleepless nights, coughing up blood, and a continuous low temperature, Wang Rong He’s body had already been hollowed out. She lay down weakly on the floor and didn’t get up for a long time.
However, the person who worried about her body was no longer in the palace. Wang Rong could even imagine someone reporting her illness to him. He could only frown and say, “If you’re sick, then so be it. Perhaps she’ll recover someday.”
After all, everyone knew that the story of the wolf had come. She had lied to him first, so he could not help but believe her.
The was in charge of the palace and the Imperial Consort Lan was in charge. The Imperial Consort Guo and the Imperial Consort Zheng had gone to the Leopard Room to serve the Emperor.
Even if they wanted to rob her, she wasn’t afraid. If anyone wanted to rob them, they would have to go. She settled down in a quiet place.
There were no familiar faces by her side, making her feel a little lonely. However, it was fortunate that if they were both here, it would definitely be because she was nervous, and this anxiety would definitely make it hard for her to rest.
She didn’t have that kind of perseverance towards many things and people, but towards those close to her, she always put it in her heart. She had to pretend that she was doing well, which was a burden for her body.
His Majesty moving into the panther room, this was simply challenging courtier’s sensitive nerves, even he could not sit still in the back. She called for Wang Rong and her son, who looked haggard and haggard, “What’s wrong with you now?”
Wang Rong smiled bitterly. Even if I was willing to say it, His Majesty wouldn’t be willing to see me right now, let alone listen to my advice. ”
“Then let His Majesty do as he pleases?” Her Majesty said.
“Your Majesty understands.” Wang Rong He said.
“What number does Your Majesty have?” The Empress Dowager Li said, “If he knows, he won’t move to the Leopard Room. There are so many places in the harem that he can’t live in.”
Wang Rong He quietly listened and didn’t speak anymore, so there was nothing that the Empress Dowager Li could do.
Since she had entered the palace, the two palaces had paid their respects to her. She could be said to be on full duty. Just by doing a little more every day, she would be able to stand in an invincible position in public opinion.
Now, she felt that it didn’t matter if she relaxed a bit. After all, her health wasn’t good, so if she dragged her haggard body to the two palaces, she would be framed by the empress dowager’s injustice.
In this palace, the person she wanted to curry favor with the most did not want to curry favor with her. She was not a diligent person.
Relax completely and take advantage of this opportunity to live well.
In fact, as an empress, she enjoyed the limitless wealth and glory of being the empress. She could leave anything to her underlings, and there was nothing for her to worry about. How enjoyable it was!
Before this, he still hadn’t been able to grasp the essence of enjoyment. All he could think about was how to let himself live a miserable life. He would enjoy it in the future and only ask about the future.
It was just that as Rongchang had been driven by the true nature of his days to act like a young girl, Wang Rong felt a bit of heartache as she looked at him. However, as long as she was not standing with His Majesty, she would not believe how she comforted her daughter and how the Queen Mother and Royal Father would be fine. Rongchang is not a fool to inherit the cleverness of his parents.
It was just that Wang Rong’s calm attitude still had a positive impact. Rong Chang would see her everyday, and see that she was still in good spirits from her recuperation.
Furthermore, she would no longer talk about the father in front of Wang Rong and her. Wang Rong would sometimes ask Rong Chang about it, and when she brought it out, she felt that her mother’s health was not good, and that she and her concubines were only having fun together. She did not come to visit her mother, and he was no longer his good father.
Wang Rong smiled first, and then she said to Rong Chang, “Your father and I ran into some problems, but it’s not serious. Husband and wife, is just a matter of mouth and teeth, and lips and teeth working together, it’s the most intimate relationship, but we can’t avoid stumbling over it. “Remember, when you were eating, you accidentally bit your lip with your teeth. It hurt so much that you were unhappy, but it doesn’t matter if you were unhappy. Don’t tell me that if you want to hurt your teeth once, you’ll have to knock them all out.”
“But the father is petty.” Rong Chang said, “father can let Mother take care of him, it’s so sad to ignore him when he’s angry.”
Wang Rong smiled as he looked at her, “For mother’s sake, you must be very happy. But if you do not stand at father’s side and think about it, is it unfair to the father who loves you? ”
“Imperial Mother doesn’t want you to affect your relationship with His Majesty because of my relationship with him.” Wang Rong He said.
“But mother is sick, so no one came to see. father is in the panther house, who knows how happy he would be.” Rong Chang said.
“Did you personally see your father being happy?” Wang Rong He said, “It’s just that he looks happy on the outside, do you think he’s really happy on the inside again?”
“Imperial Mother, why are you still supporting the father?” Rong Chang did not understand.
“I’m not facing him.” Wang Rong smiled and said, “It’s just that this time, your mother’s mistake was the first, so whatever your father does, your mother deserves it.”
“Can the Queen Mother do anything wrong?” Rong Chang asked.
“Of course the Queen Mother would make a mistake.” Wang Yunhe said, “One should have the courage to bear the mistakes one makes on oneself, and making mistakes is not a big deal.”
Zhu Yijun got drunk in the leopard’s room everyday. There were many concubines by his side, and he sometimes had trouble figuring out who they were last night with. Occasionally, he would wake up and feel chills on his entire body.
He had thought about the Queen’s Virtue, and now that he thought about it, it meant she didn’t care about him at all. That was why he didn’t care about her at all.
Zhu Yijun did not want to wake up to think about all these, so he hurriedly called for wine and started singing again.
Drunk and dreaming.
No matter how good his body was, it wouldn’t be able to withstand this. Zhu Yijun gradually lost some of his strength, and when the Feng Shang and the Imperial Noble Consort Zheng got online, he recommended a few cultivators to enter the palace. He gave them a few immortal pills, and as expected, his body glowed with new life.
The Daoists began concocting pills in the panther room.
The courtier could no longer sit still as they watched the Emperor slide down the path of the unconscious Monarch. They urged him to do so as if it was snow that was supposed to fly to the panther house. Zhu Yijun did not look at it.
The pavilion officials started to kneel outside the leopard’s room, begging for an audience with His Majesty. No matter how much Zhu Yijun messed around, could he not make a few pavilion officials kneel in front of the leopard’s room to their deaths?
Holding his forehead and looking at the Pavilion Elder, the Pavilion Elder looked at Zhu Yijun’s swaying clothes and knelt down, begging His Majesty to take care of his dragon body.
“I am truly lacking in spirit. It’s not that I am intentionally ignoring the political affairs of the imperial court, but that I ask that the pavilion masters trouble yourself with these matters.” Zhu Yijun said.
“Even if His Majesty’s body isn’t well, it’s necessary to see it with an official on his side.” the official advised.
Zhu Yijun endured his headache and browsed through a few books, but when he saw Luo Yu Ren’s report from the justice courts, his entire body trembled with anger. “Nonsense, nonsense!”
He complained to the official, “I have been drinking, but who in this world doesn’t drink? Aren’t they going home to drink? Happy or not, the guests are alone, have a few drinks, what about it, did you drink it? “I can’t drink?”
“He even wants to pamper this young eunuch. Did he see it with his own eyes or what?” “Someone, go and pick up the residence note for everyone to see and see if I like this young eunuch or not.”
The court official only dared not say so.
“Even if you say it’s money, this world belongs to me. Do I have to go and covet the silver from the eunuchs, or the silver from the officials?” Extortion? “Wouldn’t it be hateful for you to think that you’re making us up like this?”
“As for one’s appearance, I won’t say. No one is a saint, yet you want me to become one?”
Zhu Yijun said, “We favor Imperial Noble Consort Zheng because Imperial Noble Consort Zheng is kind and considerate to us. No matter what we do, she will always think about it.
Halfway through Zhu Yijun’s words, he was actually stunned. He thought of the past, to accompany him to study, to be gentle and considerate to him, it was the empress who asked him questions. The empress treated him like the spring wind, but now he could no longer brag about it. Imperial Consort Zheng, Imperial Consort Zheng’s gentleness was nothing compared to the empress’s.
When Zhu Yijun thought of his sorrowful point, his eyes actually reddened and he lost his composure.
“Shen Shixing took the report and took a look.” Your Majesty, this is only an ignorant subject who lightly believes in rumors. Your Majesty, please do not get angry and hurt your body. ”
Zhu Yijun covered his face with his hands, covering his loss of control.
“I know that I am not in the imperial court now. There are many civil officials who wish to go out and exhort me so that I can gain fame and gain the reputation of a wise minister.”
“Do you think you have done your job well, all of you, turn around and look at yourself? I will be giving my advice right here. ”
“The cabinet is the same. Do more practical work and stop arguing.” Zhu Yijun said, “Since our health is so poor, does that mean we have to do it ourselves? Then what does we need to raise an ordinary courtier for?”
“It’s you. When you get home, don’t tell me you’re the one who went to the market to buy groceries and cook dinner. You’re the one who did all this, aren’t you?” Zhu Yijun said.
“This Luo Yuren, his nonsense has congealed with me, and he has been stripped of his position and exiled. I don’t want to see him in the court ever again. ” Zhu Yijun said.
However, the officials were starting to worry. The Emperor had clearly said that he doted on the Imperial Noble Consort Zheng, but now that the Emperor and Queen could not meet, there was no direct son of the Emperor. The Emperor would probably go against the courtier no matter who became the Crown Prince.
“I heard that the empress’s health isn’t good. I’m afraid that His Majesty has the legitimate idea of waiting for the empress to fall and for the third son of the emperor to ascend to the throne.” In the Hall of Martialism, the ministers were holding their sleeves as they discussed.
“This won’t do. His Majesty has to be advised to have the eldest son of the Emperor as a crown prince.” Viscount Wang Xi said.
“Let’s wait and see. Based on the words and actions of the Emperor last time, since he doesn’t want the three sons of the Emperor to be the crown prince, let’s first slowly raise the issue.” “Shen Shixing said.” Otherwise, it would be bad to arouse His Majesty’s rebellious mentality. ”
“I’m just worried that since His Majesty is starting the channel right now, he’ll have to eat some immortal pills. The previous experiences are still fresh in my mind. If we don’t set the crown prince down soon, how can we feel at ease?” said. His Majesty’s father, his grandfather, ate quite a lot of the pills respected by the Taoists.
“If you are worried about His Majesty’s health, then it is even less necessary.” Shen Shixing said, “With a direct descendant and no direct leader, we all follow the rules. No one will be able to blame us.”
“Imperial Noble Consort Zheng is a woman. Could it be that she can bring Huang San Zi along?”
“His Majesty loves the Imperial Consort Zheng and has a good impression of the Zheng Family. I think we should keep an eye on them and find a big mistake by chopping off the claws that cause trouble outside.” Wang Jiuping said.
Only after recuperating for a long time did Wang Rong and the new palace maid feel better, and they were also familiar with each other. Fangruo went out of the palace for a walk, and after returning to the palace, she became a deacon aunt under the Palace Manager Bureau. She frequently came to the Qixiang Palace and Wang Rong to communicate with the outside world.
The old lady had been ill for a while and had recovered recently. She was reciting prayers and blessings to the Empress in the Buddhist hall every day.
The Second Young Master and Second Young Madam of the Manor had returned. They already had two sons by their side, and said that they would not go out for the time being. They were preparing to open a school in the outskirts of the capital.
Third Young Master’s aunt gave birth to a girl last month. The mansion’s young lady was Jin Gui. Uncle and the old lady were both very happy.
Wuyou had also been married under the old lady’s tutelage, so it was a safe marriage for them, so the Empress could be at ease.
Xi Tao and Gu Yanxi didn’t want to get married, so they didn’t have anywhere to go. Now, they just followed along like an idiot to take care of the Empress’s dowry.
Sick again. This time, Young Master Shen insisted on having a ceremony to bring Sickless from the mansion to the Shen family. With no illness, he only made him make a table of wine. Other than the few things he was unwilling to do, he was also living alone with Xi Tao and Gu Yanxi in the small courtyard outside.
“Why is she twisting it like that?” Wang Rong He said, “Could it be that my people can let others sleep in vain?” Since Shen Liwen is going to marry, help me pass along a message so that she can marry without worry. My previous son had already been wronged, but now he’s even wronged this little one. ”
“Giving away your life for some unknown reason, what are you going to do about it?” Wang Rong said.
“Tomorrow, when I leave the palace, I will go to see her and tell her clearly the decree of the Empress.” Fangruo said.
“Xi Tao and Yan Xi need not be so formal, if they meet each other, marriage is good, they are already old, don’t worry, if I can get them to return to the palace, even if they do not marry, I will let them in.” Wang Rong He said. She was talking about those who were willing to leave the palace but still had to wait on her. Those who stayed in the palace and spread out to serve others, it was truly the end of fate for master and servant.
After Fangruo left, Wang Rong looked at the little girl who was combing her hair. Previously, she relied on her beautiful appearance and her cute appearance, but now, she was separated from the two of them in a very miserable manner.
The current bun was a simple jewel top, and the makeup was fresh and simple.
“Hearing what Aunt Fangruo said, I was moved?”
“Don’t be in such a hurry. When you grow up, I will also let you go out of the palace to get married and have children. Don’t waste time wasting time.” Wang Rong said in a relaxed manner.
palace maid blushed.
The empress was really different from the others, she thought.
The Empress had never thought of recruiting them?
Chen Ju didn’t wait for the emperor to come near, so Zhang Cheng came to look for him and said that the emperor had to consume the immortal pills that were growing on him every day. It was only then that he knew his Majesty had reached such a state.
“When His Majesty was eating, why didn’t he exhort us?” Chen Ju knew that he was addicted to food.
“Who can still persuade His Majesty to stay now?” Zhang Cheng said bitterly, “Look at that brat Feng Shang, because of his close relationship with the Daoist Priest, he is becoming more and more shameless in front of His Majesty. I’m afraid that before long, he will fall on our heads.”
“Your Majesty, you can’t continue like this.” Chen Ju said, “Former Emperor died because of taking too many pills.”
Compared to Zhang Cheng’s helplessness, Chen Ju was still a little confident in his heart. He found some time and returned to the palace, where he asked to see the empress outside his Qixiang Palace.
When he saw the empress, he immediately kowtowed to her. “I beg empress to save your majesty.”
“How is His Majesty?” Wang Rong asked in shock.
“Your Majesty, your Majesty cannot bear to part with your medicine anymore.” Chen Ju’s face was filled with shock. The Emperor only has someone by his side who encourages him to take the medicine. There is no one who cares about his health. ”
“Besides the Empress, no one else can persuade His Majesty.” Chen Ju kowtowed and said, “Please save Your Majesty.”
A dull pain arose in Wang Rong’s heart, but she smiled wryly as she absent-mindedly said, “I don’t have the ability from the past anymore, so His Majesty might not listen to me.”
“Just by looking at the position that the empress holds in His Majesty’s heart, this servant knows that it’s no trivial matter.” Chen Ju said, “The rumors say that His Majesty enjoyed life in the Leopard Room. Actually, Your Majesty is suffering.”
Wang Rongzhi’s heart was struck heavily. She reached out her hand to stop Chen Ju, “Don’t say anymore.”
“I’ll go to the panther house tomorrow.”
In the hall that Zhu Yijun normally stayed in, he sat on the floor with fine wine and delicious food on the table in front of him. On his left and right were delicate and pretty girls, Imperial Consort Guo and Imperial Consort Zheng.
The lights in the hall were bright, and the doors were closed, regardless of day or night. He ate the medicine and then played. After a short period of excitement and a short period of rest, he woke up to a period of play.
Zhu Yijun felt that he had a dull head. He shook his head and raised his wine cup, “Come, come, fill up the cup for us.”
The heavy door of the hall was pushed open with a creak, and the sunlight shone in from outside. Zhu Yijun squinted to see who was pushing the door.
Wang Ronghe wore the usual clothes of a bright red and yellow queen. He wore eighteen layers of gilded lotus flowers, and his skin was as white as snow. He was as calm as water.
The concubines who had first accompanied the emperor in his nonsense did not think much of closing the doors. Now that the doors to the hall had been opened and the empress had married, these concubines felt a rare sense of shame. They all gathered up their clothes and arranged themselves before kneeling down to pay their respects to the empress. He was an concubine, not a prostitute for people to play with.
Wang Rong and Mu Guang slowly walked to Zhu Yijun’s side, one step at a time. Zhu Yijun watched in a daze, he thought that the Empress, whom he would never see again, had once again walked to his side.
Just like when they were married, she had walked over from the afternoon gate and slowly approached him.
“I didn’t say I wanted to see you.” Zhu Yijun clearly saw that she did not even blink, yet he still opened her mouth to speak with a dry and unpleasant voice. Zhu Yijun shut his mouth tightly, no longer wanting to speak.
“But I want to see Your Majesty.” Wang Rong knelt down beside Zhu Yijun, getting closer to him so that they could hear each other’s breathing, “Let me apologize to His Majesty.”
“I’m begging you again, Your Majesty. Please give me a child.” Wang Rong said as she looked into Zhu Yijun’s eyes.
