Chapter 318 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Sixty-Seven)

Xiangxiu apologized, "President Qiao, the Queen is tired and is resting. I think she has fallen asleep. I'm afraid I can't summon you for a while."

Qiao Zhi: "Really? I didn't expect that the Empress would still be asleep at this hour. This is not common. Miss Xiangxiu, go inform the Empress first. You are the most popular person around the Empress, and the Empress will certainly not blame you. Moreover, it was His Majesty who was worried about the Empress's health and sent me here to consult her. His Majesty is still waiting for me to report the details of the pulse diagnosis. If I am late and His Majesty blames me, both I and you will be held accountable."

"Counsel Qiao's sentence is severe. Please go to the front hall and wait. I will inform the Empress."

Qiao Zhi glanced at Xiangxiu and didn't care about the palace maid's excuse. After all, his task today was to treat the queen. If he really didn't see her, it wouldn't be him who died. The last time he saw the queen in the palace, he felt that something was wrong with her, but he didn't have the time to meddle in other people's business.

He sat on a soft chair, eating the snacks brought to him by the palace maid, and took a sip of tea, looking leisurely and not at all hurried.

The little medicine boy following him was also not shy. He ate the cakes with a smile on his face, and muttered that the cakes were too sweet, which was then hit on the head by Qiao Zhi.

It was too sweet and he ate so much that most of the dessert went into his stomach.

"Valley Master, why hasn't the Queen summoned you yet? An incense stick has already passed. Did that palace maid send any message?"

Qiao Zhi: "Why are you in such a hurry? We'll meet sooner or later. Why don't you take Qiao now? Haha, I'm not someone you can mess with."

Qiao Zhi played with the teacup in his hand with a slightly strange smile.

The little medicine boy drank three cups of tea and wanted to go to the toilet, so Qiao Zhi asked the palace maid to take the little medicine boy to the toilet.

Xiangxiu listened to the palace maid's report and sneered disdainfully. "There's no manners at all. Even if you need to go to the bathroom in the Queen's palace, you should hold it in. Otherwise, it would be disgraceful for the Queen to summon you and you not be there. He's truly a scoundrel. If he hadn't had the protection of the Majesty, he would have died a long time ago."

Just wait, she won't pass on the message until an hour has passed.

After a while, a little palace maid came over.

"Aunt Xiangxiu, Court Judge Qiao said that he will go to check on the emperor's pulse later. If the empress doesn't summon him, he will go to the emperor first and then come back with the emperor to check on the emperor's pulse later."

Xiangxiu frowned when she heard this. Qiao Zhi returned empty-handed. Who knows what he would say in front of the emperor? What if he said something bad about her?

She suppressed her panic and complained a little, "Forget it, I'll go wake up the queen. She finally got a rest, and now she's being disturbed again."

Xiangxiu quietly opened the door, walked around the screen, and before she could say anything, she found the queen sitting by the window.

Queen Ji: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Court Judge Qiao has come to see you by order of Your Majesty."

The Queen: "Qiao Zhi? Your Majesty asked him to come and diagnose my pulse? He is quite capable. I have not been feeling well recently, so please invite him into the palace."

"Your Majesty, Xiangxiu thought you were asleep, so she didn't dare disturb you. She wanted to come in to see if you were awake, but she didn't expect you to be awake. I asked Court Judge Qiao to come in. He is waiting in the front hall. Court Judge Qiao is a quack. I don't know if he is sincere in his consultation. He ate and drank recklessly as soon as he entered Kunning Palace. He has no manners."

Ji Shilan didn't take this to heart.

Queen: "Really? Then summon him. I can't sleep, and I don't feel like moving."

As soon as Qiao Zhi entered the room, he saw the queen sitting at the top of the table and greeted her.

Xiangxiu was a little dissatisfied when she heard that Qiao Zhi didn't like to be disturbed while he was seeing patients and wanted to send the palace maids away, but the queen didn't care and waved the maids away.

Empress Ji: "Counselor Qiao is a skilled doctor, so it's normal for him to have some requests. Xiangxiu, you should also go down and wait outside."

"Yes, Xiangxiu will take her leave."

Qiao Zhi: "The incense in your room is quite unique."

The queen smelled the pleasant fragrance of flowers and fruits and responded with a smile.

Empress Ji: "This was specially prepared by the imperial physician for me. It is very effective in calming the mind and soul. I heard that Court Judge Qiao came from the Valley of Divine Doctors. I think he can also prepare such incense. If you are interested, you can take some back later."

Qiao Zhi nodded in thanks. The little medicine boy behind him covered his nose and muttered, "Why bring back such harmful incense?"

Queen Ji had good hearing. When she heard this, the smile on her face disappeared and she looked at the little medicine boy with her bright eyes.

Queen Ji: "What did you say!"
