Chapter 204: Concubine Hua committed the crime of deceiving the emperor
"Your Majesty~" Ling Xiang said coquettishly with dissatisfaction.
Ling Xiang already knew that Linglong had contracted the epidemic. Although things did not go entirely according to her plan, she was able to get Zhou Ninghai to invite an imperial physician. However, even with an imperial physician, Linglong would probably not be able to recover.
Ling Xiang was secretly happy when the emperor came.
Ling Xiang actually encountered two things that made her happy that night. Now that she was interrupted, she was naturally dissatisfied.
"Have you asked for the imperial physician?" The emperor raised his hand to signal Ling Xiang to shut up.
"Your Majesty, there is no one on duty in the Imperial Hospital, and the Yikun Palace and Changchun Palace are in a panic. We have no choice but to ask you for help." Xiao Xiazi's heart was relieved. This time, he was seeking wealth and honor by taking risks again.
Xiaolouzi said that if you knock on the door three times and pass on a message, you can get two hundred taels of silver.
"I'll go take a look."
The emperor straightened his expression and was about to step out of the door when Ling Xiang grabbed his arm.
"Your Majesty, the princess has contracted an epidemic. Isn't it that Concubine Hua is calling you now with the intention of harming your body?" Ling Xiang thought to herself and felt that she could take this opportunity to overthrow Concubine Hua, so she quickly said it out.
"There is no imperial physician, how do you know that the princess has an epidemic?" The emperor, who was obsessed with sex, had a clear mind at this time.
"This..." Ling Xiang regretted speaking too quickly. She couldn't say that the eunuch she bribed deliberately let Linglong be infected with the epidemic, and she didn't dare to say that someone had just come to tip off that Wei Lin had already diagnosed Linglong in Changchun Palace.
Wei Lin was clearly in Changchun Palace, the Imperial Hospital was clearly not empty, and Ling Long had clearly contracted an epidemic. Everything Concubine Hua did was a crime of deceiving the emperor, but Ling Xiang didn't dare to say a word.
"There is a serious epidemic in the palace now. I think if I get sick, it is most likely the epidemic. Moreover, I heard that a few days ago, a young eunuch in Changchun Palace also got the epidemic. So, Your Majesty, it is better to be careful." Ling Xiang thought for a while and made excuses for herself.
"Your Majesty, Princess Linglong has a high fever and is still calling for Father. Your Majesty, Princess Linglong misses you!" Xiaolouzi shouted loudly outside.
"It is common for children to have headaches and fevers. How come there is no imperial physician in the palace? I have to go and see him." Xiaolouzi's words aroused a surge of fatherly love in Yongzheng.
Moreover, the Imperial Observatory also reported two days ago that Concubine Fucha must be careful with this pregnancy, and that children in the palace should not get sick and die, otherwise it would affect the luck of this pregnancy.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the imperial physician take a look first? It's not too late for you to go later." Ling Xiang said.
If an imperial physician saw Wei Lin in Changchun Palace and could confirm that Linglong had contracted an epidemic, not only would the emperor convict Concubine Hua of deceiving the emperor, but she would also be able to establish herself as a meritorious official in front of the emperor.
"It's okay, I'll go and take a look." The emperor is just lustful, not stupid. Ling Xiang has tried to stop him from going to Changchun Palace many times, but he must go and take a look.
No one in the entire harem can deceive him, he is the emperor!
"If you are not afraid, just stay in Zhongcui Palace and I will go there by myself." The emperor looked into Ling Xiang's eyes and said calmly.
Ling Xiang also had a strong psychological quality. After hearing this, she knew that the emperor was suspicious of her.
If I retreat at this moment, I would be a coward who is afraid of death, and my grace would be cut off.
Ling Xiang's eyes did not evade at all. She smiled at the emperor and said:
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I want to accompany Your Majesty to see the princess. Wherever Your Majesty goes, I will go there. Even if there is an epidemic, I will follow you." Ling Xiang tightened the arms she was hugging.
"Besides, when I was in Yikun Palace, I often played with the princess."
"Now that I have become the princess's stepmother, I am also worried about the princess' illness. I was just too worried about the emperor's health just now."
Ling Xiang was kind, gentle and thoughtful again, and her concern was evident in her words.
It's just an epidemic. If you stay away from it, you won't necessarily get infected.
She just didn't believe that Concubine Hua knew Linglong had contracted the epidemic and still dared to be as intimate with her as usual and take care of Linglong closely.
"In that case, let's go and take a look together." The emperor finally seemed somewhat satisfied with Ling Xiang's words.
Xiao Louzi followed behind, looking at the emperor in front and Ling Xiang beside the emperor, and resisted the urge to spit.
He heard every word and sentence Ling Xiang said just now.
Just by listening to Ling Xiang's inconsistent words, Xiao Louzi knew that this matter must be related to Ling Xiang.
······ ······
In Changchun Palace, Wei Lin was thinking about the prescription while the wet nurse changed Linglong's towel that had been melted with water and wrapped it with ice again.
Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi sat quietly on the couch waiting for the emperor to arrive.
Xin Changzai was crying quietly beside Linglong's bed, and her tears had wet two handkerchiefs.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here." Zhou Ninghai came in and said.
"Oh, my poor Linglong~" Xin Changzai's voice suddenly became eight times louder.
"My daughter ahhhhhhhhhhh."
"My princess~"
Hua Fei: Xin Chang, you are full of energy.
"Your Majesty, your servant pays homage." When Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi saw the emperor walk into the hall, they bowed politely.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Xin Changzai staggered out, fell down, hugged the emperor's thighs and started crying.
How come Xin Changzai still has tears after crying for so long? Concubine Hua looked at Xin Changzai crying on the ground and wondered in her heart.
"You're finally here! Linglong has been calling her Father!" Xin Changzai hugged the emperor's thigh tightly and refused to let go.
"Now that you're here, Linglong has no regrets!" Xin Changzai is still working hard.
Hearing these words, the emperor couldn't help but frown. Su Peisheng saw that the emperor's face looked strange, so he hurriedly helped Xin Changzai up.
"My dear, isn't the emperor here? With the emperor's blessing, the princess will surely get better."
Only after Xin Changzai freed the emperor's feet did the emperor feel a little freer and walked into the inner room.
"Your humble servant Wei Lin pays his respects to His Majesty." Wei Lin was thinking about a prescription. When he saw the emperor coming, he bowed and paid his respects to the emperor according to etiquette.
Concubine Qi and Concubine Hua also followed the emperor in.
"Didn't you say there is no imperial physician? Can't we invite an imperial physician?" The emperor looked at Concubine Hua.
"Your Majesty, I have just arrived. I was not supposed to be on duty tonight. I returned home and found a medical book left in the palace. Thinking that Master would interrogate me about my homework tomorrow, I came back to get the book. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet Eunuch Zhou who came to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the imperial physician, so I followed him."
"Because of the emergency, I came to the harem without changing into court clothes. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
