Chapter 290 Call the shots
Jianqiu saw Zhang Wuwei withdraw his hand and quickly asked, "Doctor Zhang, how is the Empress doing?"
"Qiu promised, this is not the place to talk. The emperor is still waiting outside."
The deposed queen stared at people blankly, and Zhang Wuwei was speechless for a moment.
He didn't want to be slapped for no reason again.
As the saying goes, "Don't hit someone in the face." No matter how honest Zhang Wuwei is, he is a man with a bad temper.
He politely declined the bulging purse that Jianqiu handed over and turned to walk out.
"Your Majesty, I have discovered that Concubine Li's pulse is normal."
"However, I have just heard what Her Majesty Li said. This kind of sign is recorded in ancient books. Her Majesty is suffering from a mental illness."
"Heart disease?"
Hearing this, the emperor, who was very unfamiliar with him, couldn't help but repeat it.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li's obsession is too deep, and her heart disease is caused by this."
"I'm ashamed. This disease has no cure. I can only recuperate on my own."
Zhang Wuwei lowered his head and apologized, ignoring the deposed queen's slight high fever.
All he could do was prescribe some tranquilizers and fever-reducing packs, but the posthumous condition was special and he didn't want to get involved at all.
Jianqiu realized that her mistress was seriously ill and anxiously pleaded with the emperor, "Your Majesty, please save the queen."
She knew very well that her master's biggest worry was the eldest prince, but she was powerless to do anything about it.
The emperor also looked helpless. He didn't expect Yixiu to be so thoughtful. After so many years, she was still thinking about Honghui who died young.
He really couldn't give Yixiu another child, so he could only sigh.
"Su Peisheng, restore the supply of concubines in Jingren Palace. Pick two reliable people to serve Concubine Li."
"Jianqiu, the fact that Concubine Li is suffering from a mental illness must not be leaked to anyone. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
For Rouze's sake, the emperor was willing to keep the crazy Yixiu.
If her madness becomes known to everyone, then don't blame him for being cruel.
The royal family's reputation cannot be trampled upon by anyone!
"Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."
Yixiu suddenly rushed out, interrupted Jianqiu's words, and retorted loudly.
"Your Majesty, don't trust this quack. I'm not sick."
"Honghui is still ill and is waiting for you, his father, to visit him. Let's go quickly."
As she spoke, she was about to step forward to pull someone away.
The emperor may have felt a little guilty towards her, so he did not avoid her. Instead, he stood up according to her strength and discussed with her in a gentle tone.
"Yixiu, I still have some government affairs to attend to. I'll accompany you to see Honghui in the future, okay?"
"Your Highness, political affairs are more important. Please go and take care of them first. Honghui and I will be waiting for you."
Yixiu magnanimously escorted the person to the gate.
After returning to the main hall, Jianqiu noticed that her master's aura had changed, and she spoke tentatively.
"Master, are you..."
"Jianqiu, I'm fine, but I'm sorry for the trouble you've put in."
Yixiu gently held Jianqiu's hand. She knew that she was in a daze most of the time, and the entire Jingren Palace was supported by Jianqiu alone.
"How's Jiang Fuhai doing?"
"Replying to the Queen, I am still hanging on by a thread."
Jianqiu never shows mercy to those who betray his own people.
She had already cleared out several palace maids with ulterior motives in Jingren Palace and had become adept at the task.
Yixiu touched her bare little fingernail uncomfortably and continued to ask.
"Have the people monitoring Yikun Palace and Yongshou Palace sent back any news?"
"Master, there is no news yet. I will send someone to contact them."
In Jianqiu's opinion, now is not the best time to take action against the princes and princesses of the two palaces.
But since the master has given the order, she must do her best.
Concubine Hua and Concubine Shu are both thorns in the master's side. Jianqiu wishes they could personally experience the pain of losing her son.
Jianqiu was so angry that she didn't realize that something was wrong with her.
Zhang Wuwei, the only mediocre doctor who noticed the abnormality in Jingren Palace, has made up his mind not to get involved in the mess of Jingren Palace.
Zhang Wuwei, who was lying on the bed, admired the person who prepared the medicine and even wanted to communicate with him.
He felt like he hadn't slept for long when he was awakened by Xiao Xiazi knocking on the door.
Zhang Wuwei quickly put on his outer robe and asked in a daze.
"Eunuch Xia, what happened?"
"Doctor Zhang, Eunuch Su said the emperor is feeling unwell and wants you to come over and take a look."
Su Peisheng was wary of him, and Xiao Xiazi was not very clear about the situation inside.
As soon as he heard that the emperor was unwell, Zhang Wuwei put on his boots and ran out.
After a tense examination, the emperor developed a low fever.
"Eunuch Su, the emperor has had a low fever from all the travel. I'll go get some medicine."
"Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Zhang."
Su Peisheng winked at Xiao Xiazi, who was waiting outside the door, and asked him to escort Zhang Wuwei to the Imperial Hospital to get medicine.
By the time Zhang Wuwei finished boiling the medicine, the sky was already turning pale.
Su Peisheng woke the emperor up, carefully fed him the medicine, and whispered advice.
"Your Majesty, would you please rest for another day?"
"I'm fine, please help me get up."
Just a few days after he left the palace to relax, the court was in chaos.
The emperor had already thought of words to reprimand his ministers before going to bed last night. How could he not find an opportunity to put them into practice?
After nearly two hours of court meeting, the emperor felt refreshed both physically and mentally.
He replenished his energy with a plate of snacks and then plunged into the pile of memorials.
Although the expedited memorials had already been processed, the remaining memorials still needed to be checked one by one.
This is a habit the emperor has developed long ago.
At the beginning of the afternoon, Concubine Hua came to the Yangxin Palace with three inconspicuous eunuchs.
She said to Su Peisheng with a smile on her face.
"Eunuch Su, I know the Emperor is very busy, but these three people have been hanging around outside my palace and that of Noble Consort Shu. Their behavior is extremely suspicious."
"I have found some things, please let me know."
Concubine Hua's smile did not reach her eyes, probably because she found out something important.
Su Peisheng did not dare to delay and hurried in to report.
Concubine Hua never dragged her feet. She handed in her confession directly and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, Anle is my lifeblood. Please help me!"
Her loud voice made the emperor's head buzz.
The emperor rubbed his temples and tried to comfort him helplessly.
"I'll take a look right away. You sit down and rest for a while."
