Chapter 268: Empress Ying Yue’s thoughts!
Xie Chen originally came here to change Li Changsheng's dressing and check on his recovery.
But as soon as I entered Beiyuan, I keenly noticed that the atmosphere today was different from usual.
So he decided to turn around and leave.
But Qingying, who was guarding outside, saw it first.
Seeing that he was stopped, Xie Chen didn't want to go forward any further. He had to bite the bullet and smiled awkwardly.
"Commander, I wonder you're here too! I suddenly realized I forgot to bring a medicine, so I want to go back and get it!"
Qingying asked, "What medicine? I'll send someone to the Imperial Hospital to get it. Thank you, Doctor, for all the trouble!"
Xie Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not an expensive medicine. It will be the same if I go to get it tomorrow."
He glanced at Li Changsheng's room and asked cautiously, "Commander-in-Chief, are there any distinguished guests visiting today?"
"If it's inconvenient, I'll come back another day!"
Qingying said, "There is a distinguished guest, and this distinguished guest also wants to see you!"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Xie Chen to speak again, she made a "please" gesture.
"Thank you, Doctor. Please come in!"
Xie Chen knew that he couldn't escape this time, so he had no choice but to go in.
"Your Majesty, I greet you. Long live the Emperor!"
Seeing this, Ying Yue took the initiative to step forward and support.
"Thank you, Doctor. No need to be polite. Please stand up!"
"Thank you, Doctor! I never imagined that there are so many hidden talents in this Imperial Hospital!"
Xie Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am an old man with bones buried up to my neck in the earth. I want nothing more than to enjoy my old age in peace!"
Ying Yue said, "Thank you, Doctor. You are so modest. You are so energetic and vigorous. When you walk, you are as vigorous as Lian Po, the veteran general of the pre-Qin period!"
"By the way, if I remember correctly, then Xie Zhaoyi should be your granddaughter, right?"
Hearing His Majesty suddenly mention his granddaughter, Xie Chen's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"That's right, Wanqing is ignorant and has caused trouble for Your Majesty!"
Ying Yue smiled calmly and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician. You are wrong. Wanqing is not only beautiful but also gentle and considerate. I intend to confer her the title of Consort Qing!"
Hearing His Majesty's words, Xie Chen couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
How could an old fox like him not understand this?
The reason why Your Majesty wants to confer the title of Concubine Qing on Wanqing.
It’s not because Wanqing is beautiful, gentle and considerate.
But his old bones can still continue to play a role like the old general Lian Po from the pre-Qin period.
In addition to winning me over, His Majesty may have another unknown secret.
In order to prepare for dealing with Queen Xiao Yufei, he first placed a son in the fold.
Now, in His Majesty's harem, apart from Wanqing, there are only the Queen and Concubine Rou, the Queen and the Concubine.
Among them, Concubine Rou was a princess of Tuan. Just because she came from a small barbarian country, she would never have the possibility of becoming the queen in her lifetime.
If Wanqing was just a Zhaoyi, she would pose basically no threat to the Queen.
But once promoted to Concubine Qing.
Then he would probably be regarded as the biggest threat by the Queen.
He thought that it would not be long before his innocent granddaughter would be caught up in the vortex of competing for favor with the queen.
Xie Chen couldn't help but shudder and quickly declined, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!"
When Ying Yue heard this, his expression suddenly turned cold.
She asked with great interest, "Oh, why? Being promoted from Zhaoyi to Concubine is something many women dream of!"
Xie Chen feigned panic and said, "Your Majesty, Wanqing is my granddaughter. To be able to become a Zhaoyi is already a great honor for our ancestors. How can we expect to go any further?"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
Ying Yue feigned anger and shouted, "What if I refuse to revoke my order?"
Xie Chen's face was filled with fear, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
He had no choice but to look to Li Changsheng for help.
I hope the other party can help say a few words.
Li Changsheng also saw through His Majesty's thoughts. Xie Wanqing's move was to restrain Queen Xiao Yufei in the harem.
Moreover, he also understood the empress's temperament, which was very stubborn.
Once she makes a decision, even ten oxen can't pull her back.
Thinking of this, his cunning eyes turned back and forth.
He then secretly channeled his Qi and started coughing on purpose.
There was a faint trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Li Changsheng suddenly start coughing up blood, Yingyue and Qingying both looked worried.
Qingying stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Doctor. What happened to him?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Chen hurried forward to take Li Changsheng's pulse.
"His heart is severely damaged and needs immediate medical attention!"
"Your Majesty and the Commander, please move outside so that I can treat him in peace."
Yingyue and Qingying exchanged glances and walked out of the room one after another.
When only Li Changsheng and Xie Chen were left in the room.
Xie Chen then lowered his voice and asked, "Li Changsheng, didn't you see me winking at you just now? Why didn't you say a few words for me?"
Li Changsheng coughed twice and said, "Ahem, Senior, you don't understand Her Majesty's temperament. Once she makes a decision, no one can change it!"
Xie Chen carefully considered his words and expressed his concerns.
"But once Wanqing is promoted to Consort Qing, it will probably arouse the Queen's vigilance and even make her a target of the Xiao family."
Thinking of the huge Xiao family, Xie Chen felt apprehensive.
Li Changsheng disagreed and said, "Xie Senior, you are worrying too much."
"The Queen is kindhearted and won't deliberately target Wanqing."
"Besides, Wanqing and I are close friends. As long as I'm in the harem, I'll protect her even if it means risking my own life!"
I heard Li Changsheng say it with such confidence.
Although Xie Chen didn't know where his mysterious confidence came from.
But in this situation, we can only choose to believe it.
"Hey, I hope so!"
In this way, more than half an hour passed.
Xie Chen’s “rescue” was temporarily over.
Yingyue and Qingying hurried in.
"Thank you, Doctor. How is he doing now?"
Xie Chen stroked his silver-white beard and said, "It's still the same as before, not very optimistic."
"Although it can save his life temporarily, I'm afraid it will leave him with very serious sequelae."
After listening to Xie Chen's story, Ying Yue looked at Li Changsheng, who was lying on the bed dying, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Thank you, Imperial Physician. Thank you for your hard work and great contributions. Thank you for replacing Cao Zheng and being promoted to Director of the Imperial Hospital!"
Xie Chen originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the sharp look from His Majesty, he had no choice but to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing this scene, Ying Yue finally showed a satisfied smile.
"Qingying, this Beiyuan is not conducive to Eunuch Li's recuperation. Take him back to Weiyang Palace!"
Qingying was stunned when she heard this.
At this time, His Majesty wants to take Li Changsheng back to Weiyang Palace.
What he was thinking was already obvious...
