Chapter 234 Consort Jiang Appears
"This won't work!"
The princess flatly refused, "She's still so young, it's really inconvenient to keep her in the palace. If anything were to happen, I wouldn't be able to explain to her parents."
Queen Mother Zhao was somewhat tempted.
She looked at Situ Yuan, then at Xie Ying and Yang Tao, and couldn't help but say, "Why not let Yuan'er and the child stay in the palace? The child's name is Xie Ying, right? If she can make Tao'er better, I will make her the Princess of Ankang County."
Xie Ying pursed her lips, feeling that the pancake was not tasty at all.
Although she could indeed make Yang Tao better, why should she be kept in the palace and separated from her family?
If she goes to the Princess's Mansion next door now, her family will be worried about her. If she stays in the palace, won't they be worried and have nightmares every night?
The eldest princess was also anxious.
She was not at ease letting her son stay in the palace. The palace was fraught with dangers and was not as safe as her Princess's Mansion.
What's more, there is that lunatic Jiang Lin.
The woman was vicious to begin with, and after discovering she could not have any more children and her only son had died, she went completely mad.
What if Yuan'er stayed in the palace and got harmed by that lunatic Jiang Lin?
The eldest princess said decisively: "Mother, I can't bear to be separated from Yuan'er, and Yuan'er can't live without Yingying either."
Queen Mother Zhao's face darkened with displeasure. She looked at Yang Tao again and said, "Then you should move back to the palace and stay there for a few days, just to keep me company."
The eldest princess thought Queen Mother Zhao had gone mad: "Mother, I'm already married and moving back to the palace. What will people think?"
At this time, Situ Yuan said, "Grandma, do you know the Godly Medicine Doctor? She's amazing! After taking her medicine, I feel much better.
Why not let the Medicine God take a look at my cousin? Maybe he can get better."
When Queen Dowager Zhao heard this, she was immediately moved.
Li Jieyu said, "But she is just a common doctor after all. It would be inappropriate to let her enter the palace directly.
Didn't the Gu worm incident just happen a while ago? It was such a coincidence that this miracle doctor appeared at that very moment.
What if she has bad intentions? If we let her into the palace, wouldn't that be like inviting a wolf into the house? "
When Queen Dowager Zhao heard her say this, she immediately gave up the idea and thought it would be safer to let Situ Yuan and Xie Ying stay in the palace.
And that miracle doctor is indeed a cause for concern.
She looked at the eldest princess and asked, "Does that divine medicine doctor really have extraordinary medical skills? The timing of her appearance is indeed too coincidental."
How could the princess not know that the timing of the appearance of the Medicine God Doctor was too coincidental?
She had indeed been skeptical about this miracle doctor before, but who could blame him for his extraordinary medical skills?
Before the arrival of the Medicine God Doctor, the three imperial physicians in the mansion had been taking care of Situ Yuan for such a long time, but she could only watch her son grow weaker and weaker.
It was only after Xie Ying came that Situ Yuan's health began to improve.
After Yuan'er was treated by the miracle doctor, he recovered even faster.
How could she not believe in the medical skills of the Godly Doctor?
The eldest princess thought so in her heart, but did not refute it. She just said: "Don't worry, mother, I have always been vigilant."
In fact, she was not completely confident in Doctor Yaoshen, and she would let the three imperial physicians review the treatment methods proposed by the other party before agreeing to them.
Moreover, it is indeed inappropriate to let the medicine doctor enter the palace to see Yang Tao now.
Although Concubine Li was not of high birth, she was not favored.
But Yang Tao is the only little prince in the palace after all, and nothing can go wrong.
Thinking of this, the princess couldn't help but regret: she shouldn't have let Situ Yuan act so recklessly and brought him and Xie Ying into the palace. They had just arrived, and they were already being targeted by Concubine Li.
No, why would this woman stay with the Queen Mother for so long today?
Could it be that she had been eyeing Xie Ying for a long time, and this time she deliberately stayed with the Queen Mother just to persuade her to let Xie Ying enter the palace?
Or does she have other purposes?
The eldest princess was suspicious and became more wary of Concubine Li.
At this time, Queen Mother Zhao said, "It's good that you know what's going on. Let's have someone keep an eye on that miracle doctor. You can't judge a person by their appearance. Even if her medical skills are truly excellent, you must not be careless."
"I understand." The princess paused, then continued, "It is indeed not appropriate for the Medicine God Doctor to enter the palace now, but Yuan'er still needs her treatment, and it is really inconvenient for her to enter the palace.
As for Yingying, she's still too young and has a younger brother, so it wouldn't be appropriate to separate her from her family. It would be better to cut a lock of her hair, put it in a lucky bag, and have Taoer carry it with him.
If Yingying is truly blessed, Tao'er wearing her hair will surely be of use, so there's no need to force her to keep a child under a year old in the palace."
Queen Mother Zhao looked at Situ Yuan, Yang Tao, and Xie Ying in her arms again, and had no choice but to agree: "That's it."
Her tone was somewhat listless, and after she finished speaking, she returned Xie Ying to the eldest princess.
Xie Ying breathed a sigh of relief and changed into a comfortable position.
This Queen Mother Zhao is so bad at holding a baby that her little body is almost stiff.
It’s really troublesome that he is of such a high status that we cannot offend him.
She looked at Li Jieyu and Yang Tao again, secretly muttering in her heart: "This Li Jieyu is really like the thief crying thief, she has the Gu worm in her body, and she has the nerve to say that the medicine doctor has something to do with the Gu worm."
Situ Yuan was slightly startled and couldn't help but look at Concubine Li.
Li Jieyu saw him suddenly looking over and teased him with a smile: "Yuan'er, why do you always look at me?"
Situ Yuan pursed his lips, stared at her, and said nothing.
At this moment, a palace maid suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jiang is here."
Queen Mother Zhao frowned: "Why is she here?"
As she spoke, she looked at Situ Yuan and Xie Ying, and said, "Let her in."
Xie Ying could see that Queen Mother Zhao did not like Concubine Jiang.
But she still didn't dare to make things difficult for the other party. She was probably concerned about her son and didn't want to make things too awkward with him because of Concubine Jiang.
Concubine Jiang walked in quickly.
Xie Ying looked over immediately and saw that she was wearing a pomegranate skirt. The hem of her skirt fluttered as she walked, like layers of petals, swaying gracefully.
Looking at her figure and face again, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly: [She's truly a charming beauty, no wonder she's been so popular for so many years. With that figure, that temperament, that beauty, what man could resist?]
Situ Yuan couldn't help but look at Concubine Jiang a few more times. He felt that she was indeed a charming beauty. It was no wonder that Emperor Taihe favored her alone.
Concubine Jiang also noticed Xie Ying and Situ Yuan. She was first attracted by Xie Ying, and then looked at Situ Yuan. Seeing that he was indeed very different from his previous sickly appearance, she couldn't help but look at Xie Ying several times.
Xie Ying was born with a cute, fair, plump little body, which always reminded her of her son who died young.
When her son died young, he was almost one year old, much older than Xie Ying is now.
However, among the three children present, Xie Ying's body shape was closest to that child.
Concubine Jiang looked at Yang Tao with complicated eyes again. The child's face was quite similar to her son. Every time she saw him, she couldn't help but think of her poor son, so she became more and more unwilling to see him.
Her son was forever frozen before his first birthday, lying coldly in the coffin.
As the child grew older, his appearance kept changing.
How can she be willing to do so?
Concubine Jiang stared at Yang Tao intently, and Li Jieyu was so scared that she quickly held her son in her arms, fearing that Concubine Jiang would suddenly go crazy and do something bad to Yang Tao.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
