Chapter 168 Concubine Xiao was bitten by a poisonous insect on her private parts
Concubine Xian looked at Queen Qin who was pretending to be puzzled, and all the concubines' eyes were looking at her, and she couldn't help but smile.
He clapped his hands and instructed his maid,
"Go call Xiao Shunzi in and ask him to tell the Queen what's going on."
"Yes. I obey your command."
Her personal maid went out and soon brought in a young eunuch who looked happy and humble.
The young eunuch was smart. He saw the Empress on the main seat kneeling down and kowtowed:
"Long live the Queen. Your servant Xiao Shunzi kowtows to you and greets you."
Queen Qin looked at this cheerful-looking boy and said in a good mood,
"No need to be polite, get up! This clever little ghost in your palace is quite good, Concubine Xian."
Concubine Xian smiled and nodded at Queen Qin, and then said to Xiao Shunzi,
"Why don't you thank the Queen for the compliment?"
Just as Xiao Shunzi was about to stand up, he knelt down firmly with a plop and kowtowed, saying,
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your compliment."
"Hehehe...Qiaoyin, reward."
"Here."
The head palace maid Qiaoyin stepped forward and handed Xiao Shunzi a handful of silver melon seeds. He happily kowtowed three times to the Queen.
Then, he kowtowed to his master, the Empress Xianfei, and said,
"Master, I will obey your orders."
The virtuous concubine was happy.
"Xiao Shunzi, tell the Queen about the news from Ruyi Palace that you accidentally got while running errands at the Imperial Hospital today."
"Yes. I obey your command."
So the little eunuch told the story again in a blah blah manner.
Queen Qin was still not satisfied after hearing this, and pretended to be anxious and said,
"Please explain more clearly. What happened to Concubine Xiao?"
*
The kneeling eunuch knew that the Empress was addicted to listening to this, so he said in a clear and vivid voice,
"Well, reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, it is said that Her Majesty Xiao was bitten by a poisonous insect when she went to the bathroom last night.
Since the middle of the night, Concubine Xiao's screams could be heard from Ruyi Palace from time to time."
At this time, all the concubines were so surprised that their eyes were about to pop out.
"Oh? Where did it bite? Why did it scream so miserably? How is it now?"
Queen Qin continued to ask.
The young eunuch who was kneeling on the ground to report was about to speak but stopped talking. He sensed the Queen Qin's eager excitement, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and replied without fear of being blamed,
"My Queen, I heard that the poisonous insect was too cunning and bit Concubine Xiao on her private parts. It was so painful and itchy that she scratched it till it was rotten.
This was because the palace could no longer bear it, so Ruyi Palace summoned the imperial physician.
However, that part was private, and it was inconvenient for the imperial doctors to check it. They could only prescribe medicine based on the general description of her wet nurse, Yao Ma.
I've applied medicine and taken herbal remedies, but the symptoms haven't improved and are getting worse. I heard that people are rolling on the ground in pain!"
"Oh? What kind of poisonous insect is so powerful?"
At that time, the sound of gasps was heard in the hall.
*
Queen Qin pretended to be worried, but she was actually holding back her laughter. She said to the concubines who were also secretly gloating over the misfortune,
"Since Sister Xiao Guifei is ill, let's go visit her."
"Here."
The concubines responded.
"Oh, Queen, if we go there, will that poisonous insect bite us?"
A concubine suddenly said in fear.
"How could it be such a coincidence? With so many of us, the poisonous insects would have been scared away long ago."
Another bolder one said.
Everyone watched as Queen Qin walked out without stopping.
So, led by the Queen Mother, the crowd who were interested in watching the fun went to the Ruyi Palace to pay a visit.
**
Ruyi Palace,
Emperor Kun has already gone to the morning court.
The authoritative directors and judges of the Imperial Medical Bureau were summoned from their beds in the middle of the night, and were chattering about Concubine Xiao's illness.
Unfortunately, Concubine Xiao's private parts were so itchy that she scratched them herself. There was blood all over the place and it was impossible to tell what the condition was like after being bitten by a poisonous insect.
Unable to determine the appearance of the poisonous insect, everyone had to pretend to make blind guesses.
The others, on the other hand, were working hard to dig deep inside the Ruyi Palace, bending over to carefully search for the unusual poisonous insect.
Everyone was curious and wanted to know what kind of poisonous insect had such power so that they could prescribe the right medicine to cure the person quickly.
If nothing else, this person inside is the emperor's favorite concubine, Prime Minister Xiao's beloved daughter, who dares to neglect her? !
As the screams came from the inner hall, the slaves who usually showed off their power and relied on their superiors were now dejected, not daring to breathe as if the sky was about to fall.
They were really afraid that their master would suddenly die. If their master was gone, they would not have a good ending either.
Everyone had different thoughts, and the Ruyi Palace was in chaos.
*
It was at this time,
When the people in Ruyi Palace saw the Queen, they knelt down and saluted her.
"May the Queen be blessed with happiness and peace of mind."
"No need to be polite. I am here to visit Concubine Xiao today. You can all go about your business!"
"Here!"
After Queen Qin finished speaking, she led her people straight to the inner hall.
Concubine Xiao's wet nurse, Madam Yao, and her two personal palace maids did not dare to stop them and could only lead the way after paying their respects.
As soon as they entered the inner room, the pungent smell of herbs almost made the concubines vomit.
One concubine couldn't help but cover her nose and said,
"Oh, what's that smell? It smells terrible."
Suddenly, he saw Concubine Xiao sitting on the couch not far away and immediately stopped talking.
*
When they arrived in front of Concubine Xiao's bed, she was lying with her back to everyone.
Queen Qin said with concern,
"Noble Concubine Xiao, how are you? I brought my sisters to visit you."
At this time, Concubine Xiao, with disheveled hair, already hoarse from shouting, and weak, slowly turned around.
It seemed as if the bitten private part was touched again, and his face turned pale with pain and he hissed. He looked so weak that he seemed like he was about to die.
She raised her eyelids and looked at the women who wished she was in trouble. She said nothing and then closed her eyes tightly.
At this moment, a sudden voice exclaimed,
"Oh, sister Noble Concubine, why have you become like this? You look like... wuwuwu... You can't give up on yourself!"
After she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, as if she was truly sad. She twisted the handkerchief in her hands, covered her eyes with it, and began to cry.
*
Then another startled voice began to sob.
"Your Highness, please take good care of yourself! Think positively about it. A minor illness or pain is not a big deal. You can't go on like this!"
"That's exactly what I said! How can those imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital diagnose? If they can't even treat a minor illness like this, what's the point of having them?"
At this time, a sound of fanning the flames was heard.
"What? The Imperial Concubine is not ill, she was bitten by a poisonous insect.
Alas! It was also the bad luck of the Imperial Concubine. It happened to bite the private part of us women. The Imperial Concubine couldn't stand it and scratched it to pieces.
The imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital are also helpless?! Your Majesty, am I right? "
