Chapter 182: Insidious and selfish relatives are counted again(1/2)
On the wedding night of Zhang Mingxi and Xu Murui, there was no sweet love, but the news of a fight soon reached Xu Muqing's ears. She imagined the wonderful scene and couldn't help but laugh with gloating.
Seeing that Xu Murui was not doing well, she felt relieved.
Who made that vicious cousin not wanting to be kind to her, but always tried every means to frame her, wishing she could completely disappear from this world, and deserved to be the end of Murui.
While kneading melon seeds, she said to Xiao Linye with a little regret, "It's just that I haven't seen those wonderful scenes with my own eyes, otherwise I will definitely be happier. Falling in love and killing each other is about Xu Murui and Zhang Mingxi.
Don’t say, I think they are all cruel and ruthless people who use any means to achieve their goals. They are really a pair of people made by heaven. In the future, Zhang Mingxi and Xu Murui will definitely have a wonderful life, and they will be in chaos every day. I feel happy even if I think about it.”
Xiao Linye's mouth twitched and looked at her helplessly, "Are you so happy? Mu Qing, why didn't I find you so bored before and like to watch people fight?"
Xu Muqing didn't feel embarrassed at all, "Who told them to always hurt me, why don't I watch the fun?
Besides, how peaceful the harem is, I can no longer run outside like before. I always have to find something interesting to entertain, otherwise what will you do if you ask me to do?
Do you want me to go to Zhaoyang Palace to fight with your beautiful cousin and drive her out of the palace?"
Huang Qinwei has lived in Zhaoyang Palace for more than twenty days. Xiao Linye turned a blind eye to her, but her heart was actually very strong, and even Xu Muqing was amazed.
Today I made tremella porridge for the emperor's cousin, and tomorrow I would stew ginseng black chicken soup, or maybe some pork rib soup. I was happy to send it here. Even if Xiao Linye didn't drink it at all, she would still send it to the imperial study room in person, looking at Xiao Linye with affectionate or pitiful eyes.
"Your Majesty, how do you feel when you have such a white, rich and beautiful cousin who is gentle and understanding? Is it so sweet to the core?"
Xiao Linye looked at his wife helplessly, and the resentment in his eyes could not be hidden, "Do you think I feel like I am enjoying it very much? That woman has a problem with her mind. I said she has no love for her anymore, and she even forced herself to come over, as if she couldn't understand other people's faces.
You said when will she leave? If she doesn't leave, I'm going crazy."
Xu Muqing was also dissatisfied with Huang Qinwei, but Xiao Linye's cousin had not done anything excessive during this period except for the slander of her. She had no choice but to find excuses to drive people out of the palace.
"My mother said she had lived for a month and asked her to leave. I guess she would be embarrassed to stay again at that time. I just hope that she won't make any more trouble during this period, and don't always sharpen her head and crawl on your bed, otherwise I will really turn against you."
She looked at Xiao Linye straight, "You said that cousin hates me so much, thinking that I took over you and gave her no chance to succeed."
"So what if she hates you? I just don't love her, I just love you. I can't tolerate any other woman except you in my eyes and heart. She just gets jealous, and that's her business. When I was so difficult before, I never saw her give me a smile. Why should I take her as a concubine when I am good because of my grandfather's family?"
Xu Muqing looked at him with a smile and asked seriously, "If I hadn't taken the initiative to approach you, would we still have the same result as we are today?"
In her previous life, she and Xiao Linye missed so many things. If she hadn't had the opportunity to start over in her life, she and Xiao Linye would have regretted for life.
"You are different from her. We are destined by heaven. Most of the time I am able to reach this day is due to your contribution, and we are one."
As the two were talking, the palace maid next to the Empress Dowager suddenly came over to report the message, "Emperor, Empress, it's not good. The Empress Dowager fainted. Please go and have a look."
Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing were startled, their faces were very serious. They did not dare to delay at all, and rushed to Zhaoyang Palace as quickly as possible.
Huang Qinwei knelt in front of the empress dowager's bed, wet the towel with warm water and twisted it half dry, applied it to the empress dowager's forehead, and shed tears while applying it, sobbing, "Empress dowager, please wake up quickly."
When she heard the footsteps, she saw Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing coming, her tears fell even harder and she stumbled towards Xiao Linye.
"The emperor's cousin, the empress dowager's aunt, suddenly fainted. She also caused a high fever. I asked someone to call the imperial doctor over, but it has been a long time since the imperial doctors were still missing. The empress dowager's face turned red with burning. What should I do now?"
Xiao Linye's hand was held by Huang Qinwei. He frowned and pulled out his hand with disgust. However, it was rare that his attitude towards Huang Qinwei was not as bad as before. "You get out of the way first and let Mu Qing show the Queen Mother."
Xu Muqing walked up and sat on the edge of the bed, focusing on the empress dowager's pulse. What made her feel strange was that the empress dowager's pulse was stable, not weak or disordered at all, but the empress dowager's forehead was so hot that it was scary.
She flipped through the empress dowager's eyelids and observed the empress dowager's pupils and face. Except for her high body temperature, she was unconscious and unconscious.
Seeing her frowning, Xiao Linye finally couldn't help it, "Mu Qing, how is her mother? Is her life in danger?"
"Emperor, I can't say it well. The Empress Dowager's heartbeats are normal and her pulse is stable and healthy. However, her whole body is so hot that she can't detect abnormalities. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation."
Xu Muqing tried hard to recall the medical knowledge she had learned, but found that she had never encountered any similar situation.
"What should I do now? I always have to find a way to reduce the temperature of my mother. What if my head is burned if I burn it?" The most important person in Xiao Linye's heart is his mother. He must not let his mother encounter any accidents.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will apply a warm towel to her forehead and then scrub her body so that the queen will not keep getting hot and will not burn her brain. When the imperial doctor comes later, let several imperial doctors see it. Maybe they will find something. For the queen's situation, you must prescribe the right medicine, otherwise it will bring more dangers."
She comforted her softly, even though Xiao Linye was worried, she did not dare to seek medical treatment in a hurry. He was also worried that it would cause more serious consequences.
"Mu Qing, you must find a way to wake up your mother as soon as possible." Xiao Linye's tone added a hint of prayer.
"Please rest assured, I will do my best. The imperial physician is here, and we must see what they say first."
Not long after, the imperial doctor with the most superb medical skills in the Imperial Hospital came in panting. Xiao Linye said directly without waiting for them to pay his respects, "Take the Queen Mother's pulse and see what's wrong with the Queen Mother."
Several imperial doctors took the empress dowager's pulse separately, and the final result was the same as Xu Muqing said. The empress dowager's pulse was stable and normal, and it did not look like she was poisoned or sick.
However, it is a real thing for the Empress Dowager to have a high fever in a coma.
"What should I do?" Xiao Linye asked worriedly.
"Let me do this, I will prescribe the prescription for the queen mother to relieve the fever first, decoct the medicine and let the queen mother take it to see if the heat can go away, and it will be better if it can go away and wake up. If it still doesn't work, think of other ways."
Xu Muqing comforted Xiao Linye, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, okay?"
Huang Qinwei whispered beside her, "Cousin, the Queen Mother's aunt must have provoked some unclean evil spirits. The Queen and several imperial doctors are so powerful that they can't find out the reason. There should be no other reason except being possessed by evil."
After hearing this, Xu Muqing's face became ugly in an instant. A sarcastic curve appeared on the corner of her mouth. After so many days of obedience, did she finally push the source of sin on her head?
Of course, Xiao Linye knew what Huang Qinwei meant. He stared at this cousin in Duke An's mansion with sharp eyes, "Don't talk nonsense. The palace is protected by Ziwei's aura, so there is no evil spirit. What's your intention?"
Huang Qinwei bit her lips and said aggrievedly, "Prince, please don't get angry. My daughter just said casually. I really think this is too strange. Even a miracle doctor like the queen can't find out the reason, so my daughter can't help but think about it."
Xu Muqing directly asked the palace maid to grind the ink. She took a brush dipped in ink, wrote the prescription on the paper as quickly as possible, and handed it to the great palace maid pearl beside the queen, "You follow this prescription to grab the medicine, and then take it to the kitchen, and I will come to the decoction myself."
Xiao Linye was in a bad mood. He waved his hand to the imperial doctors, "There is nothing to do with you here, go back."
He took the towel, changed the warm water over and over again and applied it to the empress dowager's forehead, and helped her wipe her face, hands, and neck. A low and trembling voice rang in her ears, "My mother, please open your eyes quickly and stop being unconscious. Don't scare me, I'm afraid."
Xu Muqing said softly, "Your Majesty, go outside the hall first, and I will wipe the sweat from my mother's body to make her feel better."
Xiao Linye stood up with concern, and even though he felt a strong reluctance in his heart, he still went out.
Xu Muqing kept two personal palace maids whom the Empress Dowager used to be by her side and said to the rest of the palace, "Let's go out."
All the palace maids in Zhaoyang Palace went out, but Huang Qinwei seemed to have not heard it, standing by the empress dowager's bed, looking at Xu Muqing with a vigilant and slightly reproachful look.
Her hostile eyes made Xu Muqing angry. She said in a bad tone, "Miss Huang, why are you still here? Didn't you let you go out?"
Is it because I can't understand human words or what's going on? Why are such a woman who doesn't understand how to look at people's faces?
"The Empress is here, and I am not at ease. Who knows if you are infected with any bad luck? After all, you are a person who has walked around in the underworld, and anything can happen."
Huang Qinwei almost said it straightforwardly. Xu Muqing was a monster. She caused the empress dowager to fall ill. She still had the face to stay by the empress dowager's side.
Xu Muqing really wanted to strangle her to death here, "This is the palace. I have the final say. You'd better set your position clearly. I don't want to do something ugly to you. If you know the truth, go out immediately and don't affect my palace's work to the empress dowager."
Huang Qinwei seemed to have not heard it, and she said provocatively, "I have asked me to go back and tell my grandmother, and they will come to the palace soon. Empress, if the Empress Dowager's aunt was unconscious and had a high fever because of you, our Duke Anguo Mansion would never let you go."
Xu Muqing didn't give her any face, and directly pulled her arm out of the empress dowager's bedroom, and slammed the door.
So what about the ladies of Duke Anguo Mansion, what about the empress dowager's niece and the emperor's cousin? I still want to step on her face to get up. How can such a good thing happen? Get out of here.
Huang Qinwei was so angry that she was almost crazy. She had never been treated like this. Except for the emperor's cousin who asked her to bear such humiliation, she also swallowed it. But Mu Muqing dared to bully her blatantly. Who gave her the courage?
In her heart, she scolded Xu Muqing's ancestors for the eighteen generations. She said that she was just a bitch and a poisonous woman. She just took a chance and got the trust and favor of the emperor's cousin. She was so proud that she was so arrogant. When her grandmother and father came over, she wanted Xu Muqing to know what the price of offending her was!
"Cousin, why did the queen treat me like this? I am worried about the situation of the queen mother and I can't help but stay there. She is too much."
Huang Qinwei was pitiful, her eyes were red, and she looked weak.
Xiao Linye was feeling irritated. Seeing that she was still making trouble here, she immediately glared at her fiercely, "If you like to provoke discord, get out of Zhaoyang Palace and go back to Duke An of the Mansion. What kind of thing are you? The queen can't let you leave?"
Huang Qinwei's face was hot, and her heart seemed to be stabbed hard. She stopped crying, "But I'm worried about the Queen Mother's illness. I won't do anything when I stayed by the bedside, so why did she drive me out."
Xiao Linye was too lazy to listen to her and kept staring at the door. He now had only one thought, that is, to wake up quickly.
Huang Qinwei was thrown into a cold face, but she was used to it during this period, and a sharp light surged in her eyes, "Cousin, otherwise, I'd better invite a monk to come to the palace to do the trick. If my aunt is infected with unclean evil spirits, it's better to let the monks recite scriptures, send those things away, and wake up quickly."
She paused and continued, "Since the queen has died once, the dirty things are likely to be with her back, so it is best for the monk to see."
Xiao Linye was even more angry, "Enough, there are no villains in my palace who are making trouble. When the empress dowager wakes up, Miss Huang will leave. Anyway, a month is coming soon, and it will be no shortage of this time."
Huang Qinwei was disgusted by her beloved cousin so much that she felt so distressed that she was about to vomit blood. However, she said she would not give up anything, and she wanted to cry, "Cousin, it's not that the queen mother is making trouble, but that the queen mother encountered such a thing. The fate of her cousin's sister-in-law is so special, so I can't help but think about it."
"My cousin may think that the minister is sowing out disagreement, but it is not difficult to ask a monk or a Taoist priest with a profound Taoist experience to come and see it. The body of the empress dowager's aunt is the most important. If you delay it, who knows if there will be more dangers."
Xiao Linye pursed his lips tightly, his face turned pale, "I naturally know this, I don't need to teach me how to do it."
Huang Qinwei thought about it and still plucked up the courage to say, "The emperor's cousin, the daughter of the minister has already written a letter to tell her grandmother and father that they may come to the palace to see the queen mother's aunt later."
There was a surge of murderous aura in Xiao Linye's eyes. His patience had reached its limit. He pinched Huang Qinwei's neck fiercely, tightening his strength, and he was like Shura climbing up from hell.
"Who told you to take your own initiative? Huang Qinwei, who do you think you are? You don't mind the trouble when you watch the fun, right?"
Huang Qinwei's face was purple, and the suffocation made her thrust constantly and struggle, and a strong fear appeared in her eyes.
Gradually, she felt that she had more breathing and less breathing, and her consciousness gradually became dissipated. Xiao Linye let her go. She didn't pay attention and knelt on the ground with a weak body. Her heart was filled with strong fear, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
"The Queen Mother's affairs have nothing to do with you. Please get out of my sight immediately and don't let me see you again."
So what about the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion? So what about the mother’s family? What does it have to do with him?
But he is a cousin with a weak relationship and wants to be the hostess in the harem. Who gave her such a big face?
Huang Qinwei's neck was burning. Now she knew she was scared. Tears fell down like beads that kept wiping. She knelt directly in front of the emperor, crying so hard that she was out of breath.
"Prince, please calm down. My daughter is so worried about her aunt. She will call her grandmother and father in a hurry. My daughter has no malice. Please check it out clearly. This harem is the emperor's place. My daughter dare not go beyond the slightest. Please forgive me for her faults this time."
Xiao Linye didn't even want to look at her, "Get out of my sight, I don't want to see you now. In the future, don't call me my cousin, I don't want to have a cousin like you at all."
Huang Qinwei wiped her tears with her sleeves and said carefully, "Then, what about asking for the monk and the Taoist priest?"
"You can't even care about any decision I make, get out-"
