The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 145 The Queen Mother Fainted

"You can say nothing now, but my patience is limited. I'll give you three days to think about it. If you still haven't made up your mind by then, then... humph." Mu Lanfeng snorted lightly, with no expression on his face.

After saying that, Mu Lanfeng raised his eyes, his stern gaze was like a cold blade, making people shudder.

So he raised his foot and walked out of the woodshed.

Seeing this, Biqing did not dare to delay for even a second and hurriedly followed Mu Lanfeng.

After the two of them left the house together, Bi Qing stopped, turned around and closed the door. She looked serious, stared at the mother who was in charge, and sternly instructed: "You must watch over her carefully and don't slack off in the slightest. You must be careful these few days and don't let anyone take advantage of you!"

The caretaker nodded and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will do my best and will never let anyone take advantage of me."

Biqing nodded slightly, glanced at the door of the woodshed again, and then quickly caught up with Mu Lanfeng who was walking away.

"Miss..." Hong Yin came running over, panting and stuttering, "Eunuch Xia from the palace is here, and he's waiting!"

"Let him come! It's not the first time you see him, why are you running!" Biqing frowned, with a hint of doubt in his expression.

"It's really not me who's anxious, young lady." Hong Yin's face was filled with anxiety. She panted slightly and said anxiously, "It's Eunuch Xia who's anxious. He's so anxious that he's running around in circles!"

Mu Lanfeng quickened his pace, wondering, "Why is he in such a hurry?"

Don't think too much, you will know it when you meet the person.

Mu Lanfeng walked quickly into the main hall. Eunuch Xia was pacing back and forth with an anxious look on his face.

"My Fifth Miss, you are finally here." Eunuch Xia looked anxious and stepped forward. "Follow me! This is an emergency. I will talk to you as we walk!"

Mu Lanfeng opened her red lips slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Eunuch, why are you so flustered?"

There was a hint of doubt in her eyes. She tilted her head slightly and tried to ask softly, "Do I need to prepare anything?"

"You can bring some diagnostic tools. Fifth Miss's own tools are more convenient to use." Eunuch Xia said anxiously, rubbing his hands constantly, and the anxiety on his face became more and more intense.

He kept urging, "Fifth Miss, let's go quickly!"

She was full of doubts. Which noble lady in the palace was suffering from an acute illness?

You know, there are many highly skilled imperial physicians in the palace!

Why would he go to so much trouble to leave the palace to look for her?

Besides, she had never diagnosed any illness for any of the ladies in the palace.

At this moment, she was really in a dilemma.

If she succeeds, it will naturally demonstrate her extraordinary ability; but if she fails, and the emperor blames her, who will be able to take responsibility for her?

Mu Lanfeng glanced at Eunuch Xia and understood a little bit.

Humph, it must be this old eunuch who is spreading her medical skills everywhere!

If I had known this would happen, I should not have given him treatment in the first place, and would have let him die in pain!

However, at this moment, Mu Lanfeng knew very well that he could not refuse at all, so he had to grit his teeth and go ahead with it.

She raised her chin, her expression calm and composed, and said, "You can go, but I have to bring a helper with me!"

"Of course you can!" Eunuch Xia agreed without even thinking about it.

Mu Lanfeng turned around and told Hong Yin: "Go and prepare the medicine box."

Hong Yin quickly agreed and left in a hurry.

After a while, Hongyin came back with a medicine box.

Mu Lanfeng took the medicine box, took Hongyin and followed Eunuch Xia into the carriage.

"Eunuch, can I tell you now?" Mu Lanfeng asked calmly, "Which lady is ill? Please tell me the truth so that I can be prepared."

She gently stroked the edge of the medicine box with her hand, looking a little uneasy.

"Uh...this..." Eunuch Xia looked embarrassed and stammered.

"Is there anything that can't be said?" Mu Lanfeng's doubts grew stronger.

She stared at Eunuch Xia, questioning him, "Why can't you tell me? Is there some shameful disease? You can't even say it out loud!"

There was a deep confusion in her eyes, and her hand unconsciously tightened the handle of the medicine box.

Eunuch Xia looked solemn. After thinking it over again and again, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother had an argument. Neither of them gave in, and they both got angry. Your Majesty is fine, but the Queen Mother fainted from anger and has not woken up yet."

That's it?

"Those people in the Imperial Hospital can't handle this?" Mu Lanfeng couldn't believe it.

As he spoke, he shook his head, secretly wondering if there was some hidden secret that no one knew about.

Eunuch Xia looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, "Fifth Miss, it's fine to say this in front of me, but you must not say it in front of His Majesty. If the Imperial Hospital was not really helpless, why would they think of asking you for help?"

Although this may not sound pleasant, if you think about it carefully, it is the absolute truth.

"What are your majesty and the queen mother arguing about?" Mu Lanfeng asked.

"Uh……"

Eunuch Xia showed an embarrassment on his face. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "I only heard half of it, not completely. It seems that because of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng's marriage, the Queen Mother advocated to arrange it immediately, the sooner the better, but His Majesty felt that there were no good days before the New Year, and wanted to wait a little longer. His expression was full of determination. Neither of them was willing to give in, so they started arguing."

Eunuch Xia recalled the fragments of words he had heard and explained them carefully to Mu Lanfeng.

"Can this cause a quarrel?" Mu Lanfeng widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and then asked: "Why does the Queen Mother insist on doing it right away?"

"I'm not quite sure about this!" Eunuch Xia shook his head, looking confused.

After a long silence, Eunuch Xia spoke again with a puzzled look in his heart: "It's really strange. In the past, the Queen Mother always gave in to Your Majesty and never had an argument with Your Majesty. But I don't know why she is so stubborn this time and just doesn't want to give in!"

"Does the Queen Mother want His Royal Highness Prince Cheng to marry my elder sister immediately?" Mu Lanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked tentatively.

"I don't know." Eunuch Xia lowered his head slightly, a thoughtful look on his face, and then said, "But after thinking about it carefully, it should be so. Madam Mu is the niece of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother must be considering her own people. I just don't know why she is so anxious?"

If that's the case, Mu Lanfeng already understood most of it.

I think Jiang must have entered the palace yesterday for this matter, but I don’t know how much truth Jiang told the Queen Mother.

"How is the Empress Dowager's condition now? What do the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau say?" Mu Lanfeng continued to ask.

"The Empress Dowager's pulse is still normal, but she has been unconscious. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital have tried every possible way to wake her up, but they have failed."

"The pulse is normal, but what about the complexion? How does it look?" Mu Lanfeng asked anxiously.

"As for her complexion..." Eunuch Xia thought for a moment and continued, "I took a quick look and found that the Empress Dowager's complexion was quite rosy, just like a normal person."

There was a hint of doubt in her tone, as if she was very puzzled as to why the empress dowager had a normal pulse, a rosy complexion, but was unconscious.

Mu Lanfeng pondered over it secretly in his heart, and felt a little more confident.

She secretly guessed that the Queen Mother was most likely pretending to be ill, probably to force the Emperor to agree to Prince Cheng's marriage.

However, she did not dare to jump to conclusions now. After all, everything was just her speculation. Only after meeting the Queen Mother and observing it with her own eyes could she be sure whether her speculation was correct.

The imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau must have guessed something.

However, how dare they say it out loud?

After all, she is the empress dowager!

The Empress Dowager is extremely majestic and it is not something that imperial doctors like them can speculate or discuss at will.

Malingering?

Doesn’t the Queen Mother have any dignity?

Doesn’t the emperor have any face?

As the queen mother of a country, holding a high position, how could she do something like pretending to be sick?

But if he wasn't faking illness, it would be hard to explain the current situation.

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the carriage slowly arrived at the palace gate.

After entering the palace gate, Eunuch Xia's face instantly became extremely serious, as if he was wearing a solemn mask. He also spoke less and less, almost silent.

The silent atmosphere seemed to be frozen, making people feel the oppressive atmosphere in the palace.
