Chapter 238 The root of the disease
"I'm sorry that our princess is not feeling well now and it's not convenient to meet guests!" Princess Yechen's personal maid's tone was respectful but cold.
A cold color flashed in Wen Caiqing's eyes, but his face was coincidental. "It doesn't matter. Please tell Princess Ye Chen to have a good rest, and I will leave first!"
As long as she met Princess Yechen, she would have a way to know whether Xi Zhaoguo deliberately made things difficult, but she didn't expect to come up and eat a closed door. If she doesn't see her, it's not easy to break in. Even if she doesn't consider the queen's demeanor, she still wants to be ashamed.
Returning to Shou'an Palace and talking to the Empress Dowager Shu about the situation, Empress Dowager Shu became more and more worried, "Alas, how can this be?"
"Don't worry too much, Empress Dowager. There will always be a way to solve it!" Wen Caiqing said kind words to comfort him, but after all, he still felt a little uncomfortable. If she can solve this problem smoothly, things will go better in the future.
As he spoke, Lu Tiancheng and Jing's aunt came in.
"How's it going?" Before the two of them saw the ceremony, Empress Dowager Shu asked in a hurry.
"After the Empress Dowager, I have just been to the Qiulu Palace, but Princess Yechen still refused to let me diagnose my pulse. However, I observed her words and asked some questions to her maid, and I also knew some clues.
"Oh?" Empress Dowager Shu's eyes lit up, "Try to tell me what the cause is?"
"Princess Ye Chen came all the way from Xizhao to Taici Kingdom. The road was bumpy and weak. Moreover, the climate of Taici and Xizhao is very different. It is difficult for the princess to adapt for a while, cold and hot, anxious, and weak heat, and then she fainted.
"Then why does it get a rash?"
Lu Tiancheng hesitated for a moment, "This minister failed to diagnose his pulse and did not dare to make a judgment. However, I guessed that it was probably caused by the clothes worn by Princess Yechen. I asked her maid, and the princess didn't seem to be used to the clothes of our Taici country. She usually wore fur clothes brought from Xi Zhao. This fur clothing is very warm and popular in Xizhao, but it is very inappropriate to wear it in our Taici country!"
"Why?" Empress Dowager Shu was very curious, "Do we still have people wearing fur clothes in the cold winter?"
"The Empress Dowager doesn't know anything about it. In fact, there are many places where we live where we can't see insects. This kind of thing likes to be warm and damp, especially likes to live in animal fur. Our Taici country is relatively warm and humid, which is very suitable for these insects to grow. We have been used to living here since childhood. Moreover, in the cold winter, these insects will be greatly reduced due to the cold weather. Even if they wear fur, it will not be a big problem.
However, the climate in Western Zhaoguo is dry and cold all year round, and it is extremely difficult for such insects to survive. It can be said that they have never been exposed to this insect at all. Suddenly, there will be discomfort, and strong people will not react too much. Princess Yechen was weak and extremely**. Suddenly, she came from a dry and cold place to a warm place. Her clothes were covered with fur and were stained with many insects, which made her uncomfortable and caused a rash, which was also reasonable!"
Empress Dowager Shu exclaimed repeatedly, "It turns out that there are such strange sayings!"
"Yes, Empress Dowager, I also heard what Dr. Tang said!" Lu Tiancheng smiled with some embarrassment.
"Tang Nian?" After the treachery and physical examination, Empress Dowager Shu was extremely impressed by Tang Nian. "Since he knows so much, why don't you let him treat Princess Yechen?"
"Yes, I also have the same idea. It's just..." Lu Tiancheng hesitated for a moment, "I think it's better to solve Princess Yechen's clothing problem first, let her change her fur as soon as possible, and penetrate the silk cloth with good temperament like us!"
"Speaking of it, it's still on the clothes!" Empress Dowager Shu understood, "Come on, go to the Shangfu Bureau and ask Sun Shangfu to come to see the mourning family..."
"Empress Dowager!" Before she finished speaking, Jing's aunt interrupted her, "I don't think it's good to find Sun Shangfu!"
Empress Dowager Shu looked over puzzledly, "Dear girl, what do you want to say?"
"I have seen the clothes sent by the Shangfu Bureau, but the style and size have been slightly changed, and Princess Yechen didn't even look at them. The slaves didn't want to say that they didn't care, but they didn't find the key to solve the problem. It's heartfelt for Princess Yechen not to wear clothes that don't suit her heart!"
When Empress Dowager Shu heard what she said, she was even more worried, "What do you think you should do?"
"I know that there is such a person who may be able to make clothes that satisfy Princess Yechen!"
"Oh? Who is it?" Empress Dowager Shu hurriedly asked.
"It's Maner!" Before Aunt Jing spoke, Wen Caiqing opened her mouth first and looked at Jing Aunt with a smile, "The person you want to talk about is Man'er, right?"
The aunt nodded, "Yes!"
"Cai Qing is also trying to tell the Empress Dowager about her!"
"Man'er...isn't that the poisoned maid?" Empress Dowager Shu frowned, "Is she okay?"
Wen Caiqing didn't want to mention Hyman. After all, she wanted to use Hyman as a bargaining chip to win the support of Yi Zhengshan. If Hyman is released from prison now, she will lose her first opportunity. However, when she heard that Jinggu wanted to recommend someone, she guessed that it was Hyman. Instead of being told by others, it would be better for her to say it, so that she could make some money.
She understood the meaning of Empress Dowager Shu and deliberately blurred her meaning, "Man'er's craftsmanship in making clothes is superb. By the way, the Empress Dowager should still remember Huang Cairen... No, it should be the clothes Huang Cai's daughter wore at your birthday banquet, right? That's from Man'er!"
"Really?" Empress Dowager Shu looked surprised, "So she is the excellent tailor!"
When Jiang Shize heard them talk about Haiman, he also raised thick eyebrows and showed interest.
"But she poisoned the emperor and Princess Li and asked her to make clothes for Princess Yechen. Is it reliable?" Empress Dowager Shu expressed her worries again.
"Empress Dowager, that girl is by no means a harmful person!" Aunt Jing hurriedly said that she had always wanted to save Hyman, but she didn't have a chance. Today, she could finally say, "That girl also had some friendship with the maidservant when she was washing the room. She was diligent and careful, and the most important thing was kindness. Seeing that the father-in-law's shoes in the small tea room were torn, she quietly made a pair of shoes for him, and she was even more concerned about the slaves. How can such a child harm others? There must be some misunderstanding in this!"
"Really?" Because of Lin Ziqin, Empress Dowager Shu had a little good impression on Haiman, but she listened to Jing's words and looked at Jiang Shize with suspicion.
Jiang Shize was frowning and thinking about something, but did not see his mother's eyes.
Jinggu knelt down and said, "Empress dowager, the matter of Princess Yechen is related to the harmony of the two countries. Now the situation is urgent. Let the child have a try. The maidservant will look at her. If she makes anything wrong, I am willing to apologize to the death!"
Aunt Jing is one of the most trusted people by Empress Dowager Shu. Hearing her say this, she can't help wavering, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"The mother is in charge!" Jiang Shize seemed to be careless.
"What about Princess Li?" Although he said so, it was not easy for Empress Dowager Shu to agree and look at Wen Caiqing. After all, she is also one of the victims!
Wen Caiqing smiled, "Caiqing thinks that state affairs are the most important, and nothing else is important!"
"Since you all said so, let's do it!" Empress Dowager Shu was relieved, "Come on, go to the prison of the Department of Internal Criminal Justice and bring Man'er up!"
