Chapter 628 Shen Zhinian knows about the cold palace
When Liu Shi was halfway through the feeding, he woke up and weakly tilted his head to the side: "Did Tang Luochuan prescribe this medicine?"
"Didn't I tell you that he is the dog of that bitch Shen Zhinian? How can you trust him? He came to the cold palace to make a scene, and he must be trying to harm me!"
Cuizhu said quickly: "Master, you are probably overthinking it."
"Don't worry, I asked the pharmacist who delivered the medicine for me, and I got the recipe. He is from the same hometown as me, so his words are trustworthy."
"This bowl of medicine was made by Xiao Fangzi himself, who took over the herbs and boiled them himself. He said there is nothing wrong with it and it is really for treating colds."
"With your current health, if you don't take medicine, how can you survive?"
"I don't think Imperial Doctor Tang is that brave. Anyway, let's try our best to save the situation..."
Liu Shiqing was already weak, and saying those few words had exhausted all her strength, and she fell into a deep sleep again.
Cuizhu then fed her the remaining medicine.
night.
Cuizhu and Liu Shiqing huddled together in a cheap quilt, trying to keep each other warm with their bodies.
After working so hard for so long, Cuizhu didn't even know when she fell asleep...
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Fuqiu reported: "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Tang is here to change your medicine."
The harem is not short of smart people. After such a long time, many people must have guessed that Tang Luochuan is loyal to Shen Zhinian.
When she first entered the palace, Shen Zhinian didn't want anyone to know about this because her foundation was unstable and she didn't want to attract attention.
But given her current identity and status, it is only normal for her to have a trusted imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau, so there is nothing to hide.
After all, which high-ranking concubine in the palace doesn’t have her own confidants in the Imperial Medical Bureau?
Shen Zhinian said: "Let him come in."
"Yes!"
Entering the inner room, Tang Luochuan bowed respectfully: "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort. May Your Majesty be blessed with good fortune and peace!"
The cold palace is under the jurisdiction of Shen Zhinian, so what happens there will naturally reach her ears at the first opportunity.
Therefore, she knew that Tang Luochuan had been to the cold palace to diagnose Liu Shiqing.
Shen Zhinian didn't point it out, but leaned back in his chair and asked slowly, "How come Imperial Doctor Tang came to change the medicine for me today much later than usual?"
Tang Luochuan knew that what happened in the cold palace could not be hidden from the virtuous concubine, and he did not think of hiding it.
Anyone who dares to hurt Her Majesty the Concubine deserves to die!
Since the virtuous concubine is kind-hearted and can't bear to kick a fallen dog, let him do it!
It’s just that... Tang Luochuan didn’t want Shen Zhinian to know the dark thoughts in his heart...
Liu should have died quietly, and no one would know the cause of her death, including the Empress Xianfei.
Tang Luochuan's eyes flickered, and he said, "Replying to Her Majesty, on my way to Zhongcui Palace today, I met Xiyan, a maid from the cold palace. She told me that Liu was ill, and she wanted to report this to Her Majesty."
"Your Majesty did not order Liu's death. I was worried that if Liu died in the cold palace, it would cause trouble. So I went to the cold palace to check Liu's pulse."
At this point, Tang Luochuan knelt down and said, "I acted on my own initiative. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Shen Zhinian frowned: "How is Liu's situation?"
Tang Luochuan lowered his head and said, "She just caught a cold. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about such a small matter."
Shen Zhinian didn't care whether Liu Shiqing lived or died, but she would be promoted to imperial concubine soon.
If Liu Shiqing died during this period, the eldest princess would cry and make a fuss. The Duke Dingguo's Mansion might also make a fuss about this matter to the detriment of Shen Zhinian.
She really didn't want to cause any trouble before things were settled.
With Tang Luochuan's medical skills, it would be no problem to treat a simple cold, so Shen Zhinian didn't take it to heart anymore: "Since you've been there, just prescribe some medicine for her."
"Get up."
Tang Luochuan lowered his eyelids to hide the gloom in his eyes: "Yes."
He stepped forward and concentrated on changing the dressing for Shen Zhinian's wound, thinking that it wouldn't be long before there would be one less person in the palace who was hostile to the virtuous concubine...
If anyone wants to harm Concubine Xian in the future, he will eliminate the person just like he did this time!
After everything was over, Shen Zhinian raised her eyes and asked, "How many times do I need to change the medicine for my arm?"
Tang Luochuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty's wound has already scabbed over. The medicine we apply now is mostly to avoid scarring. It must be used until Your Majesty's wound is completely healed."
Shen Zhinian nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
……
The next day.
Cold palace.
The first thing Cuizhu did after waking up was to reach out and touch Liu Shiqing's forehead.
Seeing that her fever had finally subsided, Cuizhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God for your help..."
As long as the fever can be reduced, the master's body will be fine!
As for the rest, just take good care of them.
When Chu Xiyan heard the news, her brows immediately furrowed.
Liu Shiqing's fever actually subsided?
Could it be that the bowl of medicine that Doctor Tang gave her yesterday was really to save her?
Although she had many guesses in her mind, she ultimately did nothing.
If Chu Xiyan was a person with an impatient personality, she would not have gained Liu Shiqing's trust so quickly in Yongshou Palace.
Cuizhu still stayed by Liu Shiqing's side.
But I don’t know why… her fever had obviously subsided, but she still didn’t stay awake for long today.
Cuizhu was very worried, but she had no choice but to stop Xiao Fangzi and ask him when he came to deliver medicine again in the evening.
"...Ordinarily, a person with a high fever should be fine after the fever subsides. Why does the master still look listless even though his body temperature has returned to normal?"
Xiao Fangzi was a pharmacist, so he naturally knew some medical knowledge. After hearing Cuizhu's words, he didn't take it to heart.
"People who have just recovered from a serious illness are already weak. Moreover, Liu used to live a life of luxury. It is normal that she cannot adapt to this kind of life now."
"First, follow the prescription given by Doctor Tang and give her all the medicine. Maybe in a few days, she will be fine."
Cuizhu nodded helplessly, took the medicine and went in.
Just like Xiao Fangzi said, people who have been seriously ill are already weak. So neither Cuizhu nor Liu Shiqing had any doubts about this matter.
Looking at the dark medicine, Liu Shiqing's eyes flashed with complexity...
Yesterday she thought that Tang Luochuan was following Shen Zhinian's orders to harm her, and she cursed him as a dog.
Unexpectedly, after taking a bowl of medicine, her fever really subsided and she saved her life.
Could it be that she really had her mind wandered?
Cuizhu handed the medicine bowl to Liu Shiqing's lips and said softly, "Master, it's time to drink the medicine."
Liu Shiqing still felt very weak and wanted to get better quickly, so he took the bowl of medicine and drank it all.
