Chapter 395 True and False
Concubine Xiao Gui glanced at Xiuyue, and said indifferently: "You reminded me, instead of trying a prescription with unknown origin, I should ask Miss Luo to help find a reliable doctor."
Xiuyue smiled: "The woman thought that she didn't want more people to know about begging for dragon sons. Our boss is really warm-hearted, but he was a little impulsive..."
Concubine Xiao frowned, and asked: "So, Miss Luo doesn't know about the medicinal recipes?"
Xiuyue lowered her eyes and nodded: "Of course I don't know."
Concubine Xiao hesitated.
If Miss Luo doesn't know about the medicinal recipes, as the cook said, the less people know about begging, the better.
Although Miss Luo is not the idiot that the world thinks of, she is an unreasonable person who plays her cards according to common sense. She is the daughter of Governor Luo. Even if she wants to silence her, it is not so easy.
Compared, the cook in front of me is undoubtedly much more in control.
One year…
Concubine Xiao's soft fingertips gently brushed her cheeks.
She is in the prime of her life, and she can afford to wait for a year. If there is no movement after a year, it won't be too late to find Miss Luo again.
Having made up her mind in this way, Concubine Xiao thought of another key point, but it was hard to speak about this key point.
After pondering for a moment, Concubine Xiao Gui ordered: "Tao Hong, go and guard the door."
Taohong glanced at Xiuyue hesitantly.
It is really hard to feel at ease that only the empress and a cook of unknown origin are left.
"Go."
Taohong then bent her knees and walked away silently.
Concubine Xiao Gui stared at Xiuyue, and asked the key point: "What about...a man's problem?"
Xiuyue calmly said: "Your Majesty is in the year of Huaxin, so it is said that there is no major problem, otherwise the imperial doctor will mention it when asking for a safe pulse?"
Concubine Xiao's eyes tightened.
She actually thought that the lack of movement for several years should not be her problem. Otherwise, there are so many concubines in the harem, how come no one has made any movement?
The emperor is in his fifties, perhaps this is the crux of the matter.
For this reason, she secretly asked a trusted imperial physician, and although the imperial physician did not dare to mention how the emperor was, she said that she was in good health.
And listening to what Xiu Gu said, it is obvious that this is what she meant.
Thinking of this, Xiao Guifei's fiery heart cooled down.
If it's not her problem, what's the use of her medication?
Hearing Concubine Xiao's question, Xiuyue glanced in the direction of the screen opening.
Concubine Xiao Gui said indifferently: "The words have been said here, you don't have to hide anything, just say what you have to say."
"The woman dared to say it. This medicinal recipe can adjust the woman's body to a state where she is very easy to conceive. In this way, even if the man's energy weakens with age, the woman's chances of conception will be greatly increased, unless—"
"Unless what?"
"Unless the man has never had an heir."
Concubine Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
It is not that the emperor has no heirs. In the early years, there were three princes and six princesses. It's just that the princes and princesses died one after another, and only one sixth princess was raised.
Even a few years ago, the emperor quietly called the imperial physician for a consultation, unwilling to have a biological child.
According to the results of the consultation with the imperial physicians, the emperor is not infertile. If there is a problem, it can only be said that he is too old to have some fate with the child.
The consultation with the imperial physician came secretly, except for the emperor and several imperial physicians participating in the consultation, only she knew about it.
Concubine Xiao Gui stared at Xiuyue intently, her voice trembling slightly: "You mean that the prescription has a significant effect on people who are getting older and unable to have children?"
Xiuyue nodded slightly.
The prince and princess were both in their forties at that time, and the medicinal recipes developed by the genius doctor were originally intended to solve the problem of difficult childbirth at an older age.
Concubine Xiao Gui was silent for a long time, she grasped the skirt of the Arhat's bed tightly and said slowly: "Then I will give it a try."
Even if there is only one chance, she still wants to catch it.
The emperor in his fifties, the concubine in her twenties, without a son and a half daughter, she already knew what would happen in the future.
Concubine Xiao regained her composure, stared at Xiuyue for a moment and said, "Now you can tell me what you want."
Running in front of her to offer a prescription at the risk of losing your head, you can't be attracted by her beauty, right?
Xiuyue pressed her forehead to the ground and bowed deeply: "The women of the people have enmity with the Pingnan Palace."
Concubine Xiao's expression changed slightly, and she quietly waited for Xiuyue to continue.
"The master of the housewife used to be the cook of Prince Pingnan's mansion. One day, the son of Prince Pingnan, uh, the current crown prince had diarrhea after eating the buttered abalone made by the master. In just a few days, he was in danger. Princess Pingnan In anger, he ordered my master to be whipped to death..."
The woman kneeling on the ground was trembling all over. Although she couldn't see her expression because she lowered her head, Concubine Xiao could feel the deep-seated hatred from her.
Concubine Xiao Gui thought, such hatred cannot be faked.
This undoubtedly dispelled her doubts.
No wonder the cook came to her with all her heart, trying to use her hands to take revenge on the Pingnan Palace, it was really daring.
"The folk woman has no father or mother since she was a child, and my master is like a father to me. If you don't avenge the murder of your father, the folk woman will not die with peace." Xiuyue suddenly raised her head, her face became even more terrifying because of her slightly distorted face, "If your mother With the dragon son, maybe the women can get what they want—"
"You are bold!" Xiao Guifei shouted sharply.
Xiuyue smiled: "If a woman dares to stand in front of the empress, she has put her life and death aside. As long as she can avenge her master, she will not regret her life."
This time, Concubine Xiao stared at Xiuyue for a longer time.
Xiuyue is frank.
"Xiu Gu, do you know the consequences of deceiving Bengong?"
Xiuyue said without hesitation: "If you can't trust the women, you can secretly send someone to investigate."
What she said was true.
At that time, Wei Qiang, the son of King Pingnan, was still young, and indeed he was in danger of dying because of diarrhea. Pingnan Wang's mansion has tried to ask doctors all over to no avail, so Pingnan Wang personally came to Zhennan Wang's mansion and asked the prince to help Dr. Li to see him.
The genius doctor took action, and Wei Qiang escaped quickly.
Before the doctor was invited, seeing her dying son, Princess Pingnan was so sad and furious that she ordered the execution of the cook who made buttered abalone.
The cook was not a servant of the Pingnan Palace, but a foreigner who came to Nanxiang City to make a name for himself with a dish of buttered abalone and was hired by the Pingnan Palace. Who is in the cook's family and how many apprentices he has taken in? Who can find out after so many years?
The princess knew about this because King Pingnan came to Zhennan Palace to seek medical treatment.
Even if Concubine Xiao Gui is cautious and secretly sends someone to investigate this past incident, the result will only verify what she said.
Unless Concubine Xiao Gui asked Pingnan Wang and his wife, maybe they could get a little bit of different information. This is on the premise that Pingnan Wang and his wife have an impression of the cook's origin.
Will Concubine Xiao Gui go to Pingnan Wang and his wife to ask these questions?
Obviously not.
Xiuyue's expression became calmer as she thought about this.
Her princess will never act rashly.
