Chapter 460: Wake up in shock
Aunt Fujia came. Yanwan was asleep, but Lan Cui made some noise and Yanwan woke up.
Aunt Fujia hurriedly apologized: "It was all my fault. The Imperial Concubine finally fell asleep, but I woke her up again."
Yan Wan's face still showed the residual fear of waking up from a nightmare, but she quickly calmed down and said in a gentle voice:
"I have always been a light-hearted person. It's not a big deal. Aunt Fujia came here in person, which made me very happy."
Aunt Fujia asked cooperatively: "Madam, are you saying..."
Yan Wan chuckled: "I have everything I need now, and I like being thought of the most. The Queen Mother loves me, and I am happier than getting gold."
Aunt Fujia tried to suppress her smile and bowed respectfully: "The Queen Mother knows your filial piety, but she is really worried about your health. She asked me to ask the imperial physician. The imperial physician said that you can go out, so she asked you to go out."
Yan Wan smiled so hard that her eyebrows curved: "Just go and ask!"
Aunt Fujia didn't dare to delay her from talking to her, so she went to the side hall to ask.
Zhang Yun was mainly guarding the Yangxin Palace. As for the Yongshou Palace, Li Zhe usually came over on time, and he happened to be there too at this moment.
Seeing Aunt Fujia coming in, he stood up and bowed slightly: "Aunt Fujia is here."
Aunt Fujia has always had a good impression of him. This man is willing to treat the palace maids and eunuchs, and he doesn't ask for much money. He gives them some convenience within the rules, and he is also a stubborn medical enthusiast.
She asked with a smile: "It is Doctor Li who is here today. The Queen Mother asked me to ask about the Royal Concubine's condition."
Li Zhe answered according to what was written on the pulse record, and explained something easy to understand:
"The Imperial Concubine's illness did not develop in a day or two. It was the result of years of accumulated fear. It collapsed in one day. It was like pushing a golden mountain toppling a jade pillar. The only thing she can do is to slowly recuperate and keep a happy mood. Then she will get better slowly."
Aunt Fujia observed in her heart that the Royal Concubine's behavior was very similar to that of the Empress Dowager when she first became the Empress Dowager, except that the Empress Dowager quickly recovered her mood and continued to fight with the Emperor...
She stopped her wandering thoughts and asked, "The Imperial Concubine wants to go and pay a visit to the Queen Mother. Is it possible?"
Li Zhe replied: "The main reason why the Imperial Concubine is in critical condition this time is that she is too worried. Now that the root cause of her mental illness has been removed, her body will naturally recover slowly. It is actually good for her to go out more often."
Fujia breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Li Zhe smiled and waited for Wang Chan to boil the medicine. He personally checked the medicinal properties and the utensils, and only said goodbye and left after making sure there were no problems.
When Aunt Fujia went to say goodbye, she happened to see Yan Wan taking medicine. Seeing that she looked delicate and weak, she swallowed the bad-smelling medicine in one gulp and ate a lot of candied fruit before she spoke:
"I hope the Imperial Concubine is well. The Imperial Physician also said that you should go out more often. I will return to the Cining Palace to report now."
Yan Wan smiled and said, "Aunt, please tell the Queen Mother that I want to accompany her for lunch. I hope the Queen Mother can give me a dish of fried fish with honey sauce and roasted lamb."
She was so impolite, but Aunt Fujia smiled more sincerely: "I will definitely pass on this message to the Queen Mother."
Yan Wan nodded: "Chun Chan, go and see your aunt off. Oh, and bring her a portion of the chestnut crisps made in the kitchen."
Aunt Fujia couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it.
After returning, I told the Queen Mother about Yan Wan's situation and the dishes she wanted to eat. The Queen Mother snorted and laughed: "She is a mess."
Having said that, he asked Fujia to personally oversee the preparation of the menu for tomorrow's lunch.
The next morning, Yan Wan arrived at the Cining Palace early.
At this time, the Queen Mother was still worshiping Buddha, so Yan Wan went into the small Buddhist hall to copy scriptures for the Queen Mother as usual.
The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "Fujia, bring her a table. She is already pregnant and cannot kneel anymore."
After saying this, he continued to recite Buddhist scriptures with his eyes closed.
Yanwan waited obediently for Fujia to make all the arrangements, then she sat down quietly, calmed down and began to copy the scriptures.
The restlessness and anger caused by acting during this period gradually disappeared as I copied the scriptures, and only peace remained in my heart.
As she copied word by word, her expression became more peaceful. At first glance, you couldn't tell the difference, but when you looked at her expression, you would feel more comfortable and pleasing.
After the Queen Mother finished reading the Buddhist scriptures, she saw that she was still absorbed in copying. When she changed the paper, she coughed lightly.
Yan Wan was suddenly distracted and a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to have kept the Queen Mother waiting for a long time."
The Queen Mother looked at her features and smiled with satisfaction: "I know you are hardworking and can concentrate on anything you do. But now is different from other times. You are a double-bodied person, so you must be careful."
Yan Wan's eyebrows curved: "Yes, I will obey the Queen Mother."
She put down her pen, washed her hands, and walked over to support the empress dowager. Her expression and movements were as intimate and natural as before.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your character is stronger than before. Why did you force yourself into that state this time?"
Yan Wan's eyelashes trembled, and her smile faded: "I originally thought that as long as I tried my best to do good for His Majesty and not make him anxious, he would always remember my kindness."
She smiled shyly: "It was not until the Emperor rushed into my courtyard and questioned me because of rumors he heard from somewhere that I realized that the love and sincerity I had felt over the past few years... were only my love and sincerity."
She looked at the Queen Mother with red eyes: "Queen Mother, am I stupid..."
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes at her, and after a moment, she snorted and laughed: "Then why did you figure it out later?"
Yan Wan lowered her eyes, tears accidentally falling down. She was too embarrassed to look up, and whispered:
"I heard Chunchan and Lancui crying in the yard. They were crying very loudly. Even Wangchan was crying so hard that he couldn't care about anything else. I suddenly didn't dare to die.
At that time, I thought, I have become the Imperial Noble Consort, but I am still scolded by the Emperor. The three of them are slaves and eunuchs. If I die, they will be so pitiful. So I dare not die, and I even dare not be trapped in a nightmare and unable to wake up. "
She suddenly laughed: "Queen Mother, please don't laugh at me. I was really woken up by the crying of the three of them."
The Queen Mother looked at her smiling face with moist eyes and saw relief and vitality on her face.
The Queen Mother had a memory hidden very deep in her heart that she had never mentioned before. Suddenly, it shook her so hard that she couldn't even laugh.
After a long while, she snorted and laughed, "You are honest, you dare to say such words to me."
Yan Wan smiled slyly: "Just this once, no matter who asks me, I will say that I can't bear to leave the emperor and the queen."
The Queen Mother tapped her forehead and said, "You really know what is important and what is not!"
Yan Wan said softly: "This palace is the emperor's palace, and the Qing Dynasty is also the emperor's Qing Dynasty. We are all women in the harem. If we say too much or do too much, the ministers will chase us and scold us for being hens crowing at dawn. We don't want to do such thankless tasks!"
