When the Emperor entered the inner hall, it was very quiet inside and outside, so Imperial Lower Consort Lan's words were clearly heard outside. Wang Rong She kneeled down in front of the empress dowager. ”Your son is at fault.”
”What did you do wrong?” The Empress Dowager Chen raised his eyebrows, ”You are just being kind. You are just worried that the Imperial Lower Consort Lan might have a weak foundation, so you are going to gift her some precious medicinal herbs to prevent unexpected situations where she might need them. Who would have thought that the person who came out of the door would be so stupid as to eat hundreds of years of ginseng as a cabbage every day. This was something that even a good person could mend, let alone a pregnant woman. What did you do wrong? Is the fault that you were too generous? ”
”Not only is she stupid, she's also an ingrate. I'm afraid she didn't have the luck to give birth to a prince.” Empress Dowager Chen said with disgust.
The imperial physician did not inspect the daily dregs of the medicine, and the imperial chef must also understand the severity of the reckless change of materials. There is also palace maid of the Jingyang Palace, who have no experience in taking care of pregnant women, nor can he advise the Imperial Lower Consort Lan, nor could he promptly pass on the information to me. Could it be that I am not happy that the Imperial Lower Consort Lan is eating the medicine I gave her? If he said one more word, it wouldn't end up like this. This is your son's fault for not thinking properly. ”
”When even Saints have their own negligence, you are not much more than Imperial Lower Consort Lan by one or two years. There is no need to scold yourself so harshly.” ”If you say it like that, I would be ashamed to say it like this. I have been eating more than you for so many years and I had never thought of eating these things.”
The Empress Dowager Li's expression could not be considered pleasant to look at. Currently, the management of the palace maid was still in her hands, and she had personally picked the palace maid s from the Jingyang Palace. She looked at the manager and aunt of the Jingyang Palace, ”Mu Xin, I saw that you were an old man from the palace that made you serve the Imperial Lower Consort Lan, and you want to repay me for my trust in this way?”
The steward's aunt kneeled down, ”Esteemed Empress Dowager's words have really left me at a loss as to what to do. This subject thinks that I did my best to not take him along, but Imperial Lower Consort Lan did not discuss the matter of exchanging the tonics with me. Even palace maid did not tell this subject. ”
”You don't even know that the Imperial Lower Consort Lan is going to use the medicinal ingredients required to enter the treasury?” Empress Dowager Li asked.
”This official does not know.” Mu Xin knelt on the ground and lowered her head.
Empress Dowager Li immediately threw the teacup towards her. ”You don't know anything, but have you come to Jingyang Palace to be the Empress?”
”All palace maid s of the Jingyang Palace are to be trained by the Ceremony Overseer.” Empress Dowager Li clapped.
”mother.” Wang Rong He said, ”This son requests that all the medicinal ingredients in Jingyang Palace be sealed and handed over to the imperial physician for inspection, to see if there are any problems.”
Although Empress Dowager Li also had this intention, Wang Rong said it like that. She still spoke in an amiable tone, ”There's no need to be like this. The small matters in Imperial Lower Consort Lan are so clear, it's just a matter of quantity, it's not related to you at all. This Dowager has never doubted you.”
”Your son is upright and unafraid of being investigated.” Wang Rong He said, ”I won't check, there's a knot in Imperial Lower Consort Lan's heart. After checking, I feel comfortable with both of them.”
Empress Dowager Li heard and paused, ”Since you say that, then investigate.”
Empress Dowager Chen looked at Empress Dowager Li and frowned slightly. The reason Empress Dowager Li agreed to it was obviously because she still had some questions in her heart. If she really believed in the Queen, then she should be like her and need to investigate. Imperial Lower Consort Lan? Could it be that once she had investigated thoroughly, she believed that it wasn't the empress who did it?
The Empress Dowager Chen shook her head. ”I believe the Queen won't do such a silly thing. If I had to investigate, all I needed to do was to stay here and wait.”
With that, the Empress Dowager Chen walked away.
Inside the Inner Palace, when Zhu Yijun heard the words of the Imperial Lower Consort Lan, he felt that it was extremely absurd.
”Afraid that you will give birth to your eldest son?” Zhu Yijun calmly looked at the Imperial Lower Consort Lan who had lost his composure, ”The empress's magnanimity is something you can't imagine. You didn't even hear the imperial physician's case, and you already said that the empress wanted you dead.”
Zhu Yijun shook his head. ”You failed to live up to the Queen's kindness to you.” After saying that, he no longer cared about Imperial Lower Consort Lan, and came in to console her a bit, but then he directly left.
Walking out of the hall, seeing that Wang Rong was still kneeling, Zhu Yijun frowned, ”Why is the Queen kneeling?”
”This is a small property of the Imperial Lower Consort Lan. I am responsible for it and cannot shirk my responsibility. Please punish me, Your Majesty.” Wang Rong knelt down towards Zhu Yijun.
”There is no need for you to plead guilty. I believe in you.” Zhu Yijun helped Wang Rong up.
Wang Rong looked at Zhu Yijun, ”Your majesty.”
”If there is anyone in this palace with the same feelings as us, only Zitong will feel the same.” Zhu Yijun sighed.
Wang Rong said as she held Zhu Yijun's hand, ”Your Majesty's pain is probably ten times greater than mine.”
Zhu Yijun closed his eyes, ”Those who deserve to be punished, leave.”
As Zhu Yijun was walking out, he passed by the imperial physician and kicked him, ”Useless thing.”
The Empress Dowager Li waited until Xu Duzhong and the history of the Imperial Hospital Academy to once again check the pulse of the Imperial Lower Consort Lan, and after confirming that it was due to a small production, he checked the medicinal dregs in the tonics in the tonics once again. She then checked the medicinal ingredients that had yet to be touched in the warehouse, ”There's no problem with the medicinal ingredients. It's just that the Imperial Lower Consort Lan Empress has overused her body to produce such a small child. ” The history of the Imperial Hospital Academy reported back to the empress dowager and empress.
The Empress Dowager Li sighed, ”This one is tired. Queen, you should finish this.”
After personally sending the empress dowager off on her chariot, Wang Rong returned to the Jingyang Palace. Everyone inside was kneeling, not knowing where their fate lay.
”History, this imperial physician might not be able to serve in Imperial Hospital anymore.” Wang Rong He dealt with the imperial physician first.
”Of course.” The academy's history said, ”Imperial Hospital also has an unavoidable responsibility to overlook this matter.”
”You don't need me to remind you of this.” Wang Rong He said, ”Imperial Lower Consort Lan had the first child of his majesty. From his majesty to the empress dowager, and then to my palace, she had to repeat her orders thrice a day. In the end, some negligence occurred.”
”The imperial physician will receive the ten canes and be expelled from the Imperial Hospital. It will never be used.” Wang Rong He said.
The imperial physician felt reassured. This was already much lighter than when he'd lost his life in a search for her. The imperial physician sincerely kowtowed to the empress and said, ”This commoner thanks empress for her kindness.”
Wang Rong looked at the history of Imperial Hospital, ”Next is far from being so lucky, I have never accepted the same mistake as the second time.”
”This humble subject will definitely remember this.” The history of Imperial Hospital.
