Chapter 154 The Five Powers of Imperial Concubine* (5)
Song Yuesheng raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of amusement flashing in her bright eyes.
Oh no, I won’t pretend anymore.
Qiao Yue stood aside, with a worried look on her face, and called softly, "My Lady..."
Song Yuesheng waved his hand, indicating that she need not worry, and then turned his gaze to the musician who was playing music, his voice soft yet majestic.
"Thank you for your hard work, musician. Today is the last day. Qiaoyue, when you send the musician away, don't forget to give him a reward."
Wen Man and her have fallen out and will no longer pretend to be close sisters.
Half of the people on the stage had left, leaving the musicians unable to perform any play.
And I'm getting a little tired of listening to her music.
the other side.
Wen Man was so angry that her chest hurt and she walked faster and faster.
The steps were quick and powerful, and every step seemed to vent the anger in his heart.
She was too kind, thinking that Song Yuesheng would just make a fool of himself on Lantern Festival, so she didn't do it on a weekday.
We can't be so soft-hearted anymore!
After returning to Ronghua Palace, Wen Man was so angry that she smashed a lot of things.
After she calmed down, she told Taoxiang, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and invite Li Shaoqin... Doctor Li. Tell him that I have caught a cold and ask him to come and check my pulse. If he doesn't come, it will delay the Lantern Festival and it will be a big sin."
"Yes, ma'am."
Taoxiang didn't dare to slack off at all.
Wen Man took a deep breath, took out a piece of rice paper, and danced the tip of the pen gently.
Apart from Xiao Guixi, the only two people who had freedom of movement in the harem were Li Shaoqin.
The General's Mansion cannot be moved for the time being, so she cannot let Song Yuesheng die before Lantern Festival, nor can she use tricks to make Xiao Guixi take action.
As time passed, a quarter of an hour passed quietly, and Li Shaoqin's figure finally appeared at the threshold of Ronghua Palace.
The palace gate opened slightly, and he walked into the magnificent palace with steady steps.
Wen Man waved her hand, signaling the palace maids to leave, leaving only Li Shaoqin.
Li Shaoqin didn't exchange too many pleasantries. He got straight to the point and asked, "Noble Concubine Wen, what is your relationship with the late queen?"
He was only interested in saving people and didn't want to get involved in the harem struggle, but what Concubine Wen said was exactly the same as what he said to Wen Man before entering the palace.
Wen Man's eyes showed no sign of evasion, and she replied calmly, "I have no relationship with the late queen."
Li Shaoqin frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised by Wen Man's answer.
But he did not continue to ask. He just heard Wen Man sigh and speak slowly.
"I only met the late queen once from afar many years ago. At that time, I was in trouble, and she sent someone to lend a helping hand and saved my life. She also left a letter, telling me that if I ever run into trouble, I can come to the capital to seek help from a doctor named Li Shaoqin."
Her voice gradually became softer, as if she was recalling the distant past.
Li Shaoqin listened quietly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
Wen Man noticed that the timing was right, so she took out a letter from the book on the table and handed it to Li Shaoqin: "Doctor Li, please take a look. This is the letter left by the late queen."
Before she died, she saved some people in order to get with them. Plus, this body had seen her from a distance, so she wasn't worried about being discovered.
Li Shaoqin read the contents of the letter silently.
The handwriting on the letter is the same as that of the late queen, and it is not forged.
He didn't expect that there was such a connection between him and Concubine Wen.
Li Shaoqin returned the letter and said, "Since it was entrusted by the late queen, I wonder what trouble the concubine is in right now? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Wen Man sighed softly, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes, and her voice was a little choked.
"Doctor Li, I don't mean to trouble you, but Song Yuesheng is too arrogant and really unbearable."
She paused for a moment, as if she was sorting out her emotions, and then continued, "I heard that there is a miraculous medicine in the Imperial Hospital that can temporarily make a person lose their voice and speech. I... I just... want Imperial Doctor Li to use it on Song Yuesheng, so that she can't speak temporarily. I hope Imperial Doctor Li can help."
"This……"
Li Shaoqin was in great difficulty.
The late queen had been kind to him, and he was helping Concubine Wen at this time. If she threatened him frequently in the future, wouldn't it ruin the late queen's reputation?
Prior to this, Concubine Song was suddenly injured and her temperament changed drastically, which frightened him so much that he had to go back to the Imperial Hospital and take sedatives before he could fall asleep.
If I go again, I might be too scared to fall asleep.
Wen Man lowered her eyes and spoke earnestly, "Doctor Li, I only ask for your help this time. After this time, I will not bother you again. I will keep my word."
Li Shaoqin thought for a moment, and then made a plan in his mind. He bowed slightly and said, "I will go back to the Imperial Hospital to prepare the medicine, and then personally deliver it to the Jiangxue Palace. I will see Concubine Song drink it with my own eyes before reporting back. Please wait patiently, Concubine."
"Go ahead. I believe in you."
"Yes."
Li Shaoqin turned and left.
I hope this move will prevent him from getting involved in such fights in the future.
"Squeak-"
Tao Xiang pushed the door open from outside the palace. She helped Wen Man sit down and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want me to go with you to the Imperial Hospital? If Imperial Doctor Li doesn't want to do anything, I can come back and tell Your Majesty."
"No need. Li Shaoqin always keeps his word and never goes back on his words." Wen Man was full of confidence.
She remembered Yan Ge said the effect of the medicine for loss of voice would last for five days.
Haha, she was just waiting to see how Concubine Song, who had lost her voice, would defend herself on the Lantern Festival night!
**
Noon, Jiangxue Palace.
Xiao Guixi looked at Song Yuesheng who was eating as if no one was around, and held back his temper as he knocked on the table: "Song Yuesheng, don't you have anything to say?"
"Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping." Song Yuesheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Wait until I finish eating, then ask whatever you want to know."
"Let me wait for you to finish eating? How can there be a concubine like you in this world?"
Xiao Guixi was so angry that he almost laughed.
Song Yuesheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who asked His Majesty to come here at dinner time?"
She didn't wait for him to eat. He came over suddenly and sat down talking to himself.
As a last resort, she asked Qiao Xin to prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.
Xiao Guixi snorted.
The more she tried to drive him away, the less he wanted to leave.
He left angrily, but she laughed wantonly.
He refused to let her have her way.
It's not necessarily a bad thing to be tired of each other.
Just seeing how happily she was eating, Xiao Guixi swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
A table full of meat, is it really that delicious?
He picked up the chopsticks, hesitantly picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth.
It seems... pretty good.
Xiao Guixi suddenly felt that it was a good thing that Song Yuesheng didn't say those irritating words at the moment.
Song Yuesheng deliberately delayed the lunch for two quarters of an hour, but Xiao Guixi actually had no intention of leaving.
She wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and turned her head to look at him: "What does your majesty want to know?"
""spring"."
Song Yuesheng suddenly realized, is this a random inspection?
She patted her chest and assured: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I have memorized the score by heart. There will be no problem."
"Play a song for me." Xiao Guixi didn't believe her at all.
Even if he didn't let Zhang Sheng monitor her, he could hear people in Ronghua Palace saying that she only let the musicians play the music and she didn't learn anything at all.
It was exactly the same as when I was in the General's Mansion.
She does everything according to her own temperament. If she doesn't want to learn, she will try every possible way to escape. The general's wife invited many famous musicians, but in the end, they all left one by one.
Song Yuesheng said calmly: "You will hear it the day after tomorrow, Your Majesty, why are you so anxious?"
"By the way, Wen Man was very angry with me this morning. Instead of arguing with me here, you might as well go find her. She would be happy to see you." She stretched out her arms and said earnestly, "As the saying goes, it's not easy to meet again after missing fate. Xiao Guixi, you have to cherish it."
"boom!"
Xiao Guixi slammed the table.
"Song Yuesheng, who do you think I am? Just because we have the same name and surname, I have to look at you differently?"
Song Yuesheng rubbed his fingers together and raised his eyes slightly: "Your Majesty has collected so many people who are similar to Wen Man, and now there is one more. Who do you think you are?"
