WLAEF 119




Chapter 119

Everyone saw this scene, but they didn't know what was in the bottle.

At this time, Celestial Doctor Wu opened the bottle. A scent of medicine wafted out in an instant,and the spirits of those who smelled it received a shock. How could everyone not know that inside this medicine bottle was a life-saving elixir.

It was just, why was this elixir in Jiang Yun Zhu's hands.

Everyone had doubts in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask at this juncture. They all watched Celestial Doctor Wu.

Celestial Doctor Wu poured out a purple-black pill from the bottle, put it in water, and got Empress Dowager to take it.

Then he got someone to help the Empress Dowager to the bed.

The Empress Dowager's complexion was originally dark red and purple. After taking this medicine, her complexion obviously improved a lot.

At this time, Celestial Doctor Wu gave her acupuncture.

After half an hour, Celestial Doctor Wu pulled out the last needle and heaved a sigh of relief. His face and body were covered with beads of sweat, while his clothes were already soaked.

"How is it?" Emperor Qinglong asked.

"With a few more rounds of acupuncture, there's nothing serious." Doctor Wu said.

Only then did everyone’s hearts rest back in its place. Only then did everyone realize that they were covered in sweat.

In mid-July, the weather was hot. Everyone was tense and naturally sweated profusely.

Now it was all fine. Sun comes after the rain.

At this moment, someone came from outside. It was Princess Danyang, she was outside the city when she heard that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill and immediately rushed back. Only at this moment, she entered the palace.

As soon as she came in, she checked the situation of the empress dowager and was very happy when she heard that she was fine. Then she noticed Jiang Yun Zhu and Celestial Doctor Wu on the side.

"Royal Brother, what’s going on?" She asked.

Emperor Qinglong also wondered why Celestial Doctor Wu came to the palace by chance. With today's situation, the empress dowager would have been in trouble if it weren't for him. Oh right, there was the elixir.

All eyes were on Celestial Doctor Wu.

Celestial Doctor Wu snorted and put the medicine bottle upside down in front of everyone. There was only one medicine in it and it had already been used. No one could use this medicine anymore. As for why he was here, "Someone invited me here." 

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to this place and wade through the muddy waters. When he said this, he glanced at Jiang Yun Zhu.

Everyone followed his gaze.

Jiang Yun Zhu knew that there were some things that had to be made clear. She bowed and said, "Reporting to the emperor, it was this common girl who was bold enough to invite Celestial Doctor Wu to come."

As for what was going on, she didn't say anything about her relationship with Shen Feng Ming. Only said that the last time she came to cook for the Empress Dowager, she noticed she wasn’t in good health. It happened that she knew Celestial Doctor Wu and wanted to invite him to treat the Empress Dowager. Who would have thought that they would come across what happened today.

As for the medicine, it was originally given to her by Celestial Doctor Wu. It was the Empress Dowager who was blessed with great blessings. Celestial Doctor Wu happened to get the Jiuqu Lingshen when he went to Huashan this time.

What she said was impeccable.

After hearing this, Emperor Qinglong praised and was overjoyed. He praised Jiang Yun Zhu for being thoughtful. Everyone in the palace knew that the Empress Dowager was in poor health, but who thought of helping the Empress Dowager seek medical treatment? Even he was slacking off too. While Jiang Yun Zhu remembered this after entering the palace for the first time.

He looked at Jiang Yun Zhu again and nodded slightly.

Princess Danyang's heart was churning. After the incident last time, she deliberately put Jiang Yun Zhu to the back of her mind. Never thought the other party would have empress dowager's illness in mind.

Attendant Qi had similar feelings as Emperor Qinglong. The more she looked at Jiang Yun Zhu, the more she liked her. If it wasn't for her today, she wouldn't dare to think about what would happen to the empress dowager.

If something happens to the empress dowager... Attendant Qi felt that there was no meaning for her to live.

Thinking of this, she felt that she should seek justice for Jiang Yun Zhu.

So she spoke out, "Reporting to the emperor, Miss Jiang has good intentions. But when this servant went to invite Celestial Doctor Wu earlier, someone was preventing them from coming to treat the empress dowager."

"Oh?" Emperor Qinglong was annoyed when he heard it. Who was so bold!

At this time, Xiao Li Yu was entering the palace with Noble Concubine Wu. When she heard this, she turned pale with fright and quickly knelt down to apologize. She didn't know that Celestial Doctor Wu was here to treat the Empress Dowager, otherwise she wouldn't dare to stop them if she had some courage.

Noble Concubine Wu didn't know that this happened and internally scolded her daughter for being so muddled. But at this time, she could only kneel down quickly and intercede for Xiao Li Yu.

Emperor Qinglong reprimanded Noble Concubine Wu and Xiao Li Yu. Don't know if it was because of today's incident or he was using this as an excuse to act out, he reprimanded Noble Xiao Li Yu for being arrogant and rude and Noble Concubine Wu for not raising children right.

In the end, he punished Xiao Li Yu for three months as a punishment.

Where there was punishment, there would be reward. Jiang Yun Zhu invited the doctor, donated medicine for the empress dowager, and saved her life. Sincerely, he gave her the title of County Master Yunrong as well as five hundred shi of land.

County Master, usually the daughter of the commandery king of the Xia Dynasty would be given the title County Master. The Xia Dynasty implemented a feudal system of vassal kings. The royal family members of the Xia Dynasty were all feudal vassals, but the land wasn't divided. Therefore, there were many vassal kings and clans in the Xia Dynasty. Jiang Yun Zhu was only named a small County Master. This capital city where princes gather, it was nothing!

All the people in the field were extremely noble figures in the Xia Dynasty. If they saw a County Master, they probably wouldn't give her a single glance. But now, everyone looked at Jiang Yun Zhu with their minds spinning.

Jiang Yun Zhu was a little worried. She never thought of becoming the County Master, but thinking about whether the empress dowager could avoid the misfortune in her dream.

At this moment, she noticed a gaze. It was Shen Feng Ming, and he was looking at her.

Although he didn't say anything, Jiang Yun Zhu seemed to feel his thoughts. Her heart gradually settled down.

After returning from the palace, Xue Jing opened his mouth wide in surprise when he knew that Jiang Yun Zhu had been titled County Master Yunrong. He discovered that his boss always had some kind of surprise.

Jiang Yun Zhu grinned. It was just a County Master. Except for the five hundred shi of land, but she had no power or influence.

Of course, one thing was good. When she sees all the nobles in the future, she doesn't need to kneel down. All she needed to do was curtsy.

Jiang Yun Zhu didn't pay too much attention to the matter of being County Master, and continued to build a fleet. This was a big business that makes money.

Soon, interested people found out about this and their reactions were mixed. 

Boss Luo, Boss Du, and the other two were more and more affirmative that it was right to follow Jiang Yun Zhu. A few days ago, Jiang Yun Zhu was like them, an ordinary citizen. Now, she was the Commandery  Yunrong.

Although this position wasn't high, it was of great significance.

After pondering for a long time, they offered to reduce the price of the goods sold to Jiang Yun Zhu by 10%.

Jiang Yun Zhu didn't agree. She knew that the price was already very low and didn't want Boss Luo and Boss Du to lose money. Only making money together could make it last for a long time.

Boss Luo and the others were convinced. They became more determined to follow her.

Lin Ting An found out about this very quickly. Jiang Yun Zhu knew Celestial Doctor Wu. This he knew. So today's matter was nothing.

It was just a small County Master.

Jiang Yun Xiu had a big reaction. The note in Xiao Li Yu's carriage was thrown in by her. That day, when seeing Jiang Yun Zhu's radiant face like in the dream and Xiao Li Yu's superiority, she harbored resentment in her heart.

Later she thought, if Xiao Li Yu knew that Shen Feng Ming liked Jiang Yun Zhu... there would definitely be a good show.

According to her guess, Jiang Yun Zhu was a commoner girl and Xiao Li Yu was the most honorable princess in the Xia Dynasty. Jiang Yun Zhu would definitely end up miserable. At that time, she could laugh.

It was just that the result was beyond her imagination. Jiang Yun Zhu was titled the County Master, while Xiao Li Yu was grounded?

Impossible! Jiang Yun Xiu couldn't believe it at all, but it was true.

She stood there blankly, not knowing how to react for a long time.

In Chonghua Palace, Noble Concubine Wu wanted to slap Xiao Li Yu as soon as she came back. Luckily the nearby palace staff stopped her.

"Kneel down." Noble Concubine Wu uttered with a livid face.

Xiao Li Yu knelt down, quite unwillingly. Today Jiang Yun Zhu was lucky.

"What's going on?" Noble Concubine Wu asked.

At the beginning, Xiao Li Yu didn't speak.After a while, she told about Shen Feng Ming's liking for Jiang Yun Zhu.

Concubine Wu was amazed after hearing this.

Shen Feng Ming, he actually like women? She was different from Xiao Li Yu. She thought more. For example, since Shen Feng Ming liked women, why did he keep rejecting Xiao Li Yu? Was it because he didn't like Xiao Li Yu, or because of Xiao Li Yu's identity...

If it was the latter, her heart dropped.

At the same time, she was even more annoyed with Xiao Li Yu's presumptuous assertion. It went without saying that this matter had to be considered in the long run and planned carefully. Now she had ruined it all.

"I used to spoil you too much. From now on, you stay in the palace and learn to manage palace affairs from me," said Noble Concubine Wu.

Xiao Li Yu felt aggrieved. Shen Feng Ming liked girls.... She wanted to argue, but seeing Noble Concubine Wu's expression, she swallowed her words back.

From this day on, no matter what Noble Concubine Wu did, she always brought Xiao Li Yu with her to let her know that it wasn't so easy to survive in this harem.

On the first day, Noble Concubine Wu discovered that a new palace maid was sent by the empress with a few words of test.

The next day, that palace slipped and fell into the well. Her life was extinguished.

The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...

On the eighth day. Noble Concubine Wu had a charming appearance. When she was young, she was so beautiful that Emperor Qinglong loved her so much.

Even now, after she gave birth to a pair of children, she was still dazzlingly beautiful.

It was that she was getting older. No matter how much she took care of herself, fine lines began to appear at the corners of her eyes.

There was a newcomer in the palace, Beauty Su. She looked very similar to her when she was young and was extremely beautiful. As soon as she entered the palace, Emperor Qinglong was attracted and often stayed with her.

It didn't take long for Beauty Su to be promoted to Imperial Concubine Su.

This Imperial Concubine Su was  arranged by the empress to enter the palace. She was younger than Noble Concubine Wu, more beautiful than Noble Concubine Wu, and more understanding than Noble Concubine Wu. Of course she was in Emperor Qinglong's favor.

This was a thorn in Noble Concubine Wu's heart.

However, on this day, Emperor Qinglong saw a picture of lotus flowers on the wall and thought that the lotus flowers in Imperial Concubine Su's palace were the best. So he had the heart to admire lotus and went to Imperial Concubine Su’s palace. He happened to encounter Imperial Concubine Su being disheveled and rolling with a guard...

Emperor Qinglong was furious and directly killed the two of them.

Regarding this, Noble Concubine Wu's original words were, "No man can accept his woman having someone else."

After everyone dispersed, Xiao Li Yu took out a small box. It was precisely because of the contents of this small box that Imperial Concubine Su was so presumptuous.

Xiao Li Yu stared at the small box for a long time before putting it into her sleeve.
