Chapter 205: Concubine Hua is unhappy, but the Emperor is happy
"It's okay. Let's first see what disease the princess has." The emperor weighed the beads in his hand and asked Wei Lin to stand up.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Lin stood up from the ground and bowed to the emperor and replied, "Your Majesty, the princess has a temporary high fever due to poor gastrointestinal motility and inability to defecate."
Ling Xiang heard Wei Lin's diagnosis behind the emperor, which was exactly the same as before. She was anxious and stretched out her slender jade finger, angrily scolding Wei Lin: "Nonsense, you just said that the princess had an epidemic, and the princess's epidemic is more serious than anyone else's!"
Wei Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at the angry beauty in front of him, with a trace of incredible panic on his face: "Your Majesty, I don't know where the young lady heard such a reckless judgment. If the princess has the epidemic, why would Your Majesty come here!"
"I dare not make rash comments on the princess's condition. I am not very knowledgeable, but I have indeed diagnosed that the princess has a high fever caused by constipation, which is common among children!"
"If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can summon other doctors from the Imperial Hospital to diagnose it together."
Wei Lin was obviously very panicked, but he still argued one sentence at a time, trying to prove his innocence.
"You! You are talking nonsense! You colluded with Concubine Hua to deceive the Emperor! You deliberately led the Emperor here to be infected with the plague!" Ling Xiang wanted to go up and slap Wei Lin!
"Hmph, Miss Ling, you are insulting the innocence of me and Lord Wei with nothing but empty words. Do you have any evidence?" Concubine Hua spoke slowly as she watched the furious Ling Xiang from the side.
Originally, when Ling Xiang was enjoying the Queen's favor by relying on her influence, Zhou Ninghai repeatedly hinted at whether he should go all out and get rid of Ling Xiang directly to avoid raising a tiger to cause trouble. Concubine Hua didn't want to kill her at the time, so she told Zhou Ninghai to give up the idea.
Unexpectedly, Ling Xiang was so bold as to put her hand right under my nose and touch the person I loved so much.
Even if her hands are stained with blood and she commits sins again in this life, this time, she will let Ling Xiang know what it means to be worse off than death.
"Your Majesty, I have evidence!" Ling Xiang knew that she had been exposed and could only kneel down and plead with the emperor.
As long as she could prove that Concubine Hua and Concubine Xin were guilty of deceiving the emperor, she would not be rebuked by the emperor for secretly planting someone in Changchun Palace.
"Tell me, what evidence?" The emperor said as he walked to the Eight Immortals Chair and sat down. It seemed that Concubine Hua was still unhappy with his favoritism towards Ling Xiang.
The Emperor was happy that Concubine Hua was unhappy. He was willing to play the game of chess with Concubine Hua to the end, just to let her vent her anger.
"Your Majesty, when I was a palace maid, I was good friends with Dingxiang, a palace maid in Changchun Palace. It was she who just heard that Lord Wei had come to see the princess a long time ago. It was also Lord Wei who just said that the princess had an epidemic, and the epidemic the princess had was unusual!"
Ling Xiang thought that Ding Xiang, whom she had bribed, would definitely stand on her side. After the Emperor dealt with Concubine Hua and Concubine Xin, she would find a reason to ask Ding Xiang to serve her.
This would not implicate her. What's more, Concubine Qi is the Queen's person and she would definitely not mind.
Only Ling Xiang was kneeling before the emperor in the room. Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi just stood there and watched her trying to drag Yikun Palace and Changchun Palace into the water with every word she said.
"Oh, the princess fell ill suddenly. The maids in this palace didn't rush to do their own work. Why did they run to Zhongcui Palace to your east as soon as the princess fell ill?" Concubine Qi looked at Ling Xiang lying on the ground and spoke in her usual tone.
Xin Changzai just held Linglong's little hand and shed tears on the edge of the bed. After Wei Lin's acupuncture, Linglong's fever finally stopped rising.
"This..." Ling Xiang frowned. She didn't expect that Concubine Qi would attack her. "Your Majesty, I care about the princess. Ding Xiang knew that I liked the child and missed the princess, so she told me."
"Humph, just now I had a hard time getting a doctor. I couldn't even leave the house. If I wanted to send a message to Concubine Hua, I had to shout in person. But Ding Xiang easily escaped the guards at the gate. I don't know how the guards at the gate of Changchun Palace are doing their job."
When Concubine Qi thought of the guards who had just stopped her from going out, she felt resentful. According to Ling Xiang, she, the head of the palace, was even worse than a palace maid.
Concubine Qi rolled her eyes at Ling Xiang lying on the ground in dissatisfaction.
Ling Xiang was annoyed. She thought that Concubine Qi probably felt that she was old and ugly, and could not be of any use to the Queen, so she was jealous of her youth and beauty, and the favor of the Queen and the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, perhaps the guards at the gate were lax at the time, so Dingxiang had the opportunity to come out. Dingxiang also knows that when I was in Yikun Palace, it was often me who accompanied the princess to play. The princess and I have a deep relationship, and Dingxiang couldn't bear to hide it from me."
Ling Xiang pulled at the corner of the emperor's dragon robe and cried.
"You're talking nonsense. The ones who usually play best with the princess in Yikun Palace are Guizhi and Lanzhi. And how many times have you played with the princess?"
"What's more, the princess is usually very diligent in her studies and doesn't come to Yikun Palace very often!"
Songzhi directly addressed Lingxiang as "you". In her eyes, Lingxiang was not her master at all.
Songzhi spoke out angrily, she didn't notice that the emperor's eyes fell on her face.
The emperor felt that Songzhi had been with Concubine Hua for a long time, and her temper was as straightforward as Concubine Hua's. Her eyes and eyebrows also had some of Concubine Hua's bold and confident temperament. She was much more pleasing to the eye than those other timid palace maids.
Concubine Hua noticed that the emperor's eyes fell on Songzhi behind her, and her handkerchief couldn't help but tighten. This emperor really had the ability to become aroused at any time.
I don't know if his body can withstand my lustful desires.
Hua Fei took a step forward, blocking half of Song Zhi's face, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and began to cry:
"Your Majesty, please understand. The princess usually only comes to pay her respects to me. After paying her respects, if the weather is fine, I will let Lanzhi and Guizhi accompany the princess to play in the courtyard of Yikun Palace for a while, and then send her back to Changchun Palace to study."
"The princess is usually diligent in studying and filial. If it weren't for Sister Qi Fei and Concubine Xin being unable to invite the imperial physician today, they wouldn't have asked me for help."
Hua Fei secretly sighed that Song Zhi was a good person. This eliminated the emperor's worry about Linglong inhaling the Huanyi Fragrance, and she also cleared herself of the suspicion of being on good terms with Changchun Palace.
In the harem, it really shouldn't be possible for him and Concubine Qi to get along well.
But when Concubine Hua talked about Linglong's diligence in studying, she felt that it was a bit unconscionable.
