Chapter 435 Fang'er Recommends Herself
Seeing that the empress dowager still disagreed, the emperor couldn't help but disappointed and said: "Mother, you know that you love Jie now, but did you ever feel sorry for me back then?"
The empress dowager couldn't stand him saying that, maybe, she was getting older and her heart softened, and now her mind was only thinking about her children and grandchildren.
She said calmly: "Since you have made up your mind, it is useless for the Ai family to say anything. Besides, the Ai family should not have been involved in political affairs. The Ai family has already issued an order to let Ah Jie enter the palace. When the time comes, you can make an order. Now that he has detained Xia Zian, you can also ask him to bring Xia Zian into the palace, ask him clearly, maybe there is something else going on in this matter and we don't know."
"The queen mother ordered him to bring Xia Zi'an into the palace. If he resists the order and does not bring Xia Zi'an in, it proves that he intends to protect Xia Zi'an. If this is the case, I will be very disappointed with him," said the emperor.
The empress dowager looked at him, sighed softly, but said nothing more.
When the empress dowager returned to her bedroom, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. One was because of the emperor's decision to cut off her arm, and the other was because the emperor wanted to kill Xia Zian.
"Do you think the lord really likes Xia Zian?" The empress dowager asked Eunuch Sun after pondering for a long time.
Eunuch Sun said: "Queen Mother, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the prince cares about the concubine."
The Empress Dowager's heart was very heavy, "If the Ai family let him bring Zi'an into the palace, Zi'an will definitely die, the Ai family is really ruthless."
Eunuch Sun couldn't give an idea. This incident happened so suddenly. In fact, everyone thought it might not be the princess who said it, but the outside news pointed directly at the maid beside the princess.
The palace maid Caidie came in, "Empress Dowager, the noble concubine is here."
When the empress dowager heard the words, she stretched out her hand and rubbed the center of her eyebrows, "What is she here for?"
Ever since she knew that she had never given up, the empress dowager no longer wanted to see her.
"It is said that there is an urgent matter and we must meet the Queen Mother." Cai Die said.
Eunuch Sun said: "Queen Dowager, at this juncture, I am afraid that the noble concubine will have no good intentions in entering the palace, so it would be better not to see her."
The empress dowager thought for a while, "Forget it, let her in, it's not easy to make it too obvious."
Cai Die went away at the sound.
Eunuch Sun sighed softly and shook his head, the Empress Dowager was always too soft-hearted.
If the Empress Dowager is half courageous, she doesn't have to be led by the nose.
Cai Die led the Concubine Gui in. This time, the Concubine Gui brought another person, Sun Fang'er.
The empress dowager was furious immediately, "Come whenever you come, what are you bringing her here for?"
Sun Fang'er is a disgrace to the Sun family, and the Empress Dowager is the daughter of the Sun family, so naturally she can't tolerate Sun Fang'er.
The Concubine Gui knelt down, "Sister, my sister entered the palace this time to ask for something."
The empress dowager frowned, so humble, she must have a plan.
She said coldly: "Let her go out first, Aijia doesn't want to see her."
Sun Fang'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Empress Dowager, Fang'er knew that she had done a lot of mistakes before, and she didn't dare to ask the Empress Dowager for forgiveness for the sake of blood and family. This time Fang'er entered the palace to treat the emperor's illness. Fang'er has seen the emperor's ghost face sores before and healed them."
The empress dowager snorted, and said sarcastically: "The Ai family thought that Rou Yao was the one who learned medicine from the Sun family, so it was you? Did the Ai family remember wrongly? You were the one who learned medicine, and Rou Yao was the one who learned witchcraft and sorcery? "
Sun Fang'er looked guilty, and fell on the ground for a long time. When she spoke again, her voice choked up, "Fang'er deserves to die, I let the empress dowager down. After Fang'er was kicked out of Sun's house, she already knew she was wrong. In order to make up for what she committed before He followed a genius doctor to save the people from diseases. Although he was not talented, but under the guidance of his master, he studied the stubborn diseases a little. The recommendation of Fang'er to enter the palace is all Fang'er's own request, if the Empress Dowager does not allow Fang'er to treat the Emperor, don't blame the Concubine Gui, she is only willing to help because of her niece's eagerness to atone for her sins."
The Empress Dowager knew that she shouldn't believe Sun Fang'er's words, because both Concubine Ling Gui and Sun Fang'er could not be trusted.
However, Sun Fang'er's words are very attractive, especially now that the situation is so urgent, there will definitely be courtiers entering the palace today to inquire about the emperor's condition.
Thinking that the emperor had to cut off his own arm to cover up the ghostly sores, her heart was in a ball of worry.
"You said you have seen ghost-faced sores and healed them, so tell me, what are ghost-faced sores like? How did you heal them?" the queen mother asked.
Sun Fang'er replied: "Ghost face sores can grow on the outside or inside the body. Some have complete eyes, ears, mouth and nose, some even have hands and feet, and some are incomplete. The person Fang'er treated before grew on the abdomen. Later Fang'er used After taking the medicine, within a month, the ghost face sores fell off, and the patient's abdomen was smooth and clean, as if nothing had grown on it."
"What kind of medicine?" asked the empress dowager.
"Thunder pills, light powder, and powder made from Fritillaria are applied to the sores, and then taken together with decoction for a month. After one month, the sores on the face will fall off."
"Only use three powders to apply to the wound?" Seeing that she spoke clearly and logically, the empress dowager seemed to be quite capable.
"Naturally, the dosage of the medicine is changed every day, and during the treatment, the sores on the face will produce pus, which requires incision and opening of the pus. The treatment is troublesome, but it is effective."
The empress dowager began to ponder, thinking about the pros and cons.
But Eunuch Sun took the lead and said: "Miss Fang'er, although you can cure ghost-faced sores, the emperor doesn't have ghost-faced sores, it's just a rumor."
The imperial concubine was slightly stunned, "Is it a rumor? The Ai family thought it was true, but Xiao Sun, the maid next to Zi'an, told about it. She said that Zi'an had met the emperor in the palace."
The Empress Dowager looked gloomy, "Did you hear what she said?"
The Concubine Gui shook her head, "That's not true. It was said by the maid next to Ai's family. She and Xiao Sun bought the house expenses together. When she was tired from walking, she said it while sitting down to drink tea at the tea stall in Beijing. Because the tea shop There are people, and this matter spreads."
Eunuch Sun said with a smile: "Great concubine, how can you trust the maid's words? That girl is also a bitch, and what she says is not good, and she only made up the emperor's illness. It seems that she has to be punished. "
The Concubine Gui breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good, it's fine if it's not true."
After finishing speaking, she said sternly: "That girl is not only cheap? She dares to spread rumors about the emperor's illness, and she deserves death. After Ai's family returns to the mansion, she must be killed with a stick."
Seeing her filled with righteous indignation, the empress dowager said calmly: "It's rare that the noble concubine cares about the emperor so much, and the Ai family is also very comforting. As for the maid who talks nonsense, she will be killed with a stick. Get up, don't kneel."
Sun Fang'er helped the imperial concubine to get up, and Sun Fang'er also said in an embarrassing way: "The empress dowager forgives the crime, Fang'er believed it, and recommended herself to the palace to treat the emperor's illness, she is really confused."
The empress dowager became a little more sober after being reminded by Eunuch Sun, she said coldly: "It's not that you are confused, you and the imperial concubine are both smart people, and they are very caring."
This is to say that the two of them have a heart. As for what they have in mind, everyone knows.
Seeing the empress dowager's sarcasm, the noble concubine's expression turned sour, "I know that this time it was in vain to be a good person, and instead be treated as a villain, but even though I have all my thoughts, the emperor is from the Murong family. The worst thing is to suffer from ghost face sores, which will damage the reputation of the royal family, and the common people will doubt whether the descendants of the Murong family are immoral, whether they can't bear to sit in this world anymore, so sometimes it's not our intentions, but the empress dowager's carelessness."
With her tone, the Empress Dowager was not angry, but thought deeply.
Indeed, what she said was also reasonable, if the public knew that the emperor had a sore face, no matter whether it was King Nanhuai or the crown prince sitting in the world in the future, it would be hard to guarantee being criticized.
Therefore, it is reasonable for her to treat the emperor with this thought.
