Chapter 177 Performance of Each Palace
Concubine Xian's expression suddenly became serious: "This is easy to handle!" She turned to look at Lian Zhi who was standing beside her, "Lian Zhi, take Xi Meiren to the side hall to rest first, then select some high-quality ginseng and deer antlers from the storehouse and give them to Xi Meiren to nourish her body."
After explaining everything to Lian Zhi, Concubine Xian gently patted Xilin's hand and said with concern: "Since you are not feeling well, go and have a rest! I will help you deal with the matter of Jingsi Residence properly."
After hearing Concubine Xian's words, Xilin's eyes showed gratitude. She bowed and said, "I feel deeply guilty for asking my cousin to take so much trouble to take care of me. I cannot repay my cousin's kindness in this life, but I will definitely repay you in the next life."
Xian Fei smiled and comforted him: "We are a family, why should we be so polite? Well, go and rest!"
Xilin bowed again and thanked him: "Then I will take my leave first!"
The virtuous concubine nodded and said, "Well, go ahead!"
Xilin turned away respectfully, but the moment she turned around, the gentle and kind smile on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by a sneer full of disdain. Not only her, but even Concubine Xian also showed a contemptuous smile on her face the moment she turned around.
In the Xuan Palace, Bai Xi came to Keremu with the herbal medicine list given by Daer. After reading it, Ziya asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Your Majesty, I think these are just ordinary weeds. Can they really cure diseases?"
Keremu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you worried that she will harm the reputation of Xuanwang Mansion?"
Ziya quickly explained: "Yes, she is now the dignified Princess Xuan. If she opens a medicine shop, it means that the palace has opened a medicine shop. If she kills someone, it means that the palace has killed people!"
Bai Xi said slowly, "I heard that there was a man called Shennong in the Central Plains thousands of years ago. He tasted all kinds of herbs." After that, he glanced at Ziya with a faint smile on his face, and then said, "How do you know that these herbs can't cure diseases?"
Keremu nodded: "I have heard of this before!"
Ziya's eyes widened, and he looked at Baixi in disbelief, then at Keremu, and he was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped. He stammered, "Your Highness, Baixi? You...you all believe her?"
Keremu chuckled and shook his head: "I just want to tell you not to underestimate anyone or anything. Although we have doubts about this herbal list, we might as well give it a try." Then he waved his hand and ordered: "Okay, send someone to buy it first, and then copy a pigeon to ask in the West City!"
Baixi followed the order and retreated. Keremu saw that Ziya seemed to be still thinking about the problem of the medicine shop, so he interrupted and said, "Okay, don't think about it. Now go and check carefully to see if there is any problem with Bafu. If everything is fine, let her open it!"
Ziya was a little slow to react: "Ah? Oh, okay, I'll go right away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave. Keremu spoke again: "Go to the palace tomorrow and report that the king has woken up!"
Hearing the prince say that there was no need to pretend to be unconscious, Ziya responded quickly and happily this time: "Okay, I will go there tomorrow morning!"
Watching Ziya's departing back, Keremu raised his head, the corners of his mouth curled up, and thought to himself: "I really want to see what the second brother and that woman will look like when they know that he has awakened. It must be very beautiful!"
Keremu was full of anticipation, and he couldn't wait to see the expressions and reactions of Lao Er and the woman after they learned that he had woken up. They would definitely be surprised, panicked, and even terrified, and this was exactly what Keremu wanted to see.
The next morning, the news that shocked the entire harem came that Prince Xuan had woken up, which shocked and excited many people. When the queen heard the news, she was so excited that she didn't care about her image at all, and immediately wanted to leave the palace to visit her poor son. However, under Mu Lian's persuasion, she barely resisted the impulse in her heart, patiently dressed up, and then hurriedly left the palace.
At the same time, after hearing the news, the Queen Mother clutched her chest tightly and said ecstatically: "Thank God, my grandson finally woke up!"
The Queen Mother was relieved that the heavy weight on her heart had finally fallen. Then, she instructed the maidservant beside her: "Go to the storehouse quickly and give the Shu brocade brought back from the Central Plains to Princess Xuan to commend her for her contribution to the wedding. Also, take out my two thousand-year-old ginsengs and give one to Prince Xuan, telling him that I am waiting in the palace for the couple to come and pay their respects." After receiving the order, the maidservant hurriedly left her mission.
At the same time, Concubine Xian was furious in the palace. She swept the tea set off the table and said, "I didn't expect that boy to be so lucky. He woke up just because of a good fortune. Humph!"
Yumei quickly comforted her, "Your Majesty, calm down and take care of yourself." She poured a cup of tea for Concubine Xian, and then said, "Your Majesty, even if Prince Xuan wakes up, it doesn't matter. He is so badly injured, who knows if he will have any sequelae after waking up?"
The virtuous concubine sighed, her face full of resentment: "Speaking of which, this matter is all the fault of that rebellious son. He came up with the bad idea of finding the imperial teacher out of nowhere. Now, that kid has woken up!"
Yumei fanned Concubine Xian while saying, "Your Majesty, Prince Xin must have had his reasons for doing this, but now, we still have to ask Prince Xin to go to Prince Xuan's mansion to find out the situation."
Concubine Xian frowned and said in an unhappy tone: "I had always thought that the boy would not survive, and I never believed the Imperial Master's suggestion of a wedding to bring good luck. I didn't expect that he would actually wake up. It was really beyond my expectations."
Yumei gently patted Concubine Xian's shoulder and comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Things may not be that bad. We can observe for a while to see what the physical condition of Prince Xuan is like. If he really has any sequelae, it will be good for us in the future."
Concubine Xian nodded, but she still felt unhappy. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Well, this is the only way now. I will ask Prince Xin to see if he can plant two spies in Prince Xuan's mansion."
Yumei nodded, agreeing with Concubine Xian's opinion: "Don't worry, your majesty, I will send someone to deliver the letter to Prince Xin, and I will also try to see if I can let two people in."
The virtuous concubine bowed her head, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes: "Don't fail like last time!" The last time that the virtuous concubine was talking about was when Hanguli was seriously injured and unconscious. She sent people to wait for news of her death, but not only did she not die, she turned around and married a prince for the second time. This made the virtuous concubine very unhappy.
Compared to Concubine Xian's anger, Concubine Ru was much calmer. She just chuckled, as if she was not surprised. Her bright eyes flashed with a complex emotion, as if she had expected this result.
Dalan was happy for Hanguli from the bottom of her heart: "King Xuan finally woke up, her future life should be much better than in the palace!" Her voice was filled with a hint of relief and blessing, as if she hoped that Hanguli could get out of trouble and live a better life. She seemed to be talking to herself, and also seemed to be telling Mifeti about her feelings.
