The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 148 Mu Lanfeng Refuses to Take Credit

"Empress Dowager, given the current situation, I may need to give you an injection to get over this matter. I beg you to be patient for a moment, Empress Dowager." Mu Lanfeng slowly took out a silver needle from the medicine box with a playful smile on his face.

Queen Mother Jiang looked at the silver needle in Mu Lanfeng's hand and felt her scalp tingling.

She pointed at the needle with shaking hands, and her words became stammering: "Mu Lanfeng, you...what on earth do you want to do to me? I warn you, don't do anything reckless!"

"Empress Dowager, it won't hurt..." Mu Lanfeng said as he inserted the needle in his hand.

Queen Mother Jiang felt a sudden blackness in front of her eyes, and then she lost consciousness...

When she woke up again, several imperial doctors were standing beside the bed, but Mu Lanfeng was nowhere to be seen.

"She's awake! The Empress Dowager is awake!" Doctor Wang's face was full of surprise, his eyes widened. He stood up suddenly, raised his hand and pointed at the Empress Dowager, his voice trembling.

"The Empress Dowager has woken up!" Director Zhao of the Imperial Hospital clenched his hands excitedly, leaned forward, a smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with relief.

"The Empress Dowager has woken up. It's truly God's blessing on our dynasty!" Imperial Doctor Zhang quickly echoed, his face full of joy. He bowed respectfully, his eyes fixed on the Empress Dowager, and he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, his tense nerves slightly relaxing.

This damn Mu Lanfeng, how dare he prick me with a needle?

Queen Mother Jiang opened her eyes slightly, moved her body, and said weakly: "What happened to Aijia?"

Several doctors looked at each other in bewilderment. Doctor Zhang stepped forward and answered carefully, "Your Majesty, you fainted due to illness. We have been taking good care of you. It is a great blessing that you have woken up."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, looked around, and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Doctor Zhang and the others saw this and hurriedly consoled her: "The Empress Dowager, please take care of yourself. We will do our best to ensure that she is in good health."

"Where is Mu Lanfeng?" Queen Mother Jiang couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, several imperial doctors looked at each other, then all turned their gazes to the empress dowager, their faces full of confusion.

Doctor Zhang looked puzzled. He stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother. I really don't know who Mu Lanfeng you are talking about. I have never heard of this person. Could it be that he is the person that the Queen Mother dreamed of when she was unconscious? Or is there something special about him that makes the Queen Mother so concerned about him?"

Several other imperial doctors also nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Queen Mother, we really don't know who this Mu Lanfeng is."

“I’ve never heard of this name!”

Queen Mother Jiang was even more confused when she heard this: "I am talking about the little girl from the Mu Xun family, her name is Mu Lanfeng!"

"Oh——" Zhao Yuanshi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to search his memory. After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Empress Dowager, you are talking about the girl who calmly painted two masterpieces in a short time under the attention of everyone on the winter banquet. That girl really amazed everyone and was full of talent! Empress Dowager, is the Mu Lanfeng you are talking about this girl?"

Queen Mother Jiang curled her lips, and her expression seemed to disagree with what Envoy Zhao said, but she did not refute it.

"It's her! Wasn't she here treating me just now?" Queen Mother Jiang asked coldly.

Doctor Zhang, who was closer to the bed, looked nervous and hurriedly and respectfully asked the empress dowager to stretch out her hand so that he could feel her pulse.

"Empress Dowager, you may have been overworked and fell into a nightmare. We can confirm that Mu Lanfeng has never diagnosed you. From the beginning to the end, it has been the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau who have been treating you carefully!" Doctor Wang said earnestly.

Nightmare?

That was a terrible dream!

Queen Mother Jiang was still frightened. Since the imperial doctors said so, she just followed their advice.

But she was sure that it was not a nightmare!

"Then what's wrong with me?" Queen Mother Jiang frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion and worry.

"The Empress Dowager is overworked and has fallen into a coma. It's okay. Just get more rest and take good care of yourself for a few days!" Imperial Doctor Zhang looked respectful and spoke in a steady tone.

Doctor Wang standing by also nodded in agreement, with a reassuring look on his face.

Minister Zhao stroked his beard lightly and nodded slightly, confirming the diagnosis of the two imperial physicians.

"I feel much better." Queen Mother Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, looking a little tired. "Thank you for your hard work! I want to sleep for a while, you can go back. Let the servants come in and serve."

After saying this, Queen Mother Jiang closed her eyes slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We will take our leave." Several imperial doctors bowed in unison, looking respectful and cautious.

The imperial doctors filed out and left Shoukang Palace together.

"Why did the fifth young lady of the Mu family do this? She clearly cured the empress dowager, but she is unwilling to take the credit for it. It's really confusing!" Doctor Wang frowned, his face full of confusion, and muttered in a low voice.

Director Zhao frowned slightly, looking solemn. He habitually reached out and stroked his beard, looking like he saw through everything but didn't say it.

He slowly said, "This girl is indeed a strange person. She is doing this to save face for our Imperial Hospital. Our Imperial Hospital now really owes her a favor!"

……

In the imperial study, the emperor, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sat behind the imperial desk with a dignified look.

The queen, dressed in a solemn and gorgeous phoenix robe, sat quietly on one side, looking at Mu Lanfeng with a smile on her face.

"Little girl, have you really thought it through? You don't want such a great credit at all?" The emperor leaned forward slightly, staring at Mu Lanfeng with sharp eyes, and asked again.

Mu Lanfeng's eyes were bright, and he glanced sideways, thinking quickly in his mind: Merit? To me, it's just an empty name.

Rewards in real money and silver are the real benefits!

However, she had no intention of asking for a reward.

After all, there is a big difference between giving a sincere reward and asking for it.

Mu Lanfeng looked respectful, her eyes sparkling with intelligence. She bowed her head slightly and replied softly, "Your Majesty, what I have done is my duty, and I dare not claim any credit for it. It is an honor for me to be able to do my best for Your Majesty and Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise and will make the most appropriate arrangements. It is up to Your Majesty to decide."

This girl is trying every possible way to ask for rewards from the emperor!

The Queen saw it all, but didn't point it out. She just smiled gently, took off the Luanfeng Harmony Hairpin on her head, raised her hand slightly, motioned Mu Lanfeng to come forward, and said softly: "This little girl is really smart and clever. I like her very much. Since you are the future princess of the Fourth Prince, then this hairpin can be regarded as a gift from me in advance."

The hairpin is made of pure gold, with a pair of dancing phoenixes intertwined. The feathers are clearly visible and decorated with colorful gems. The phoenix's eyes are two rare rubies. The phoenix is ​​surrounded by cloud-like decorations made of tiny pearls, which add a bit of agility. The tassels hanging down are made of round South China Sea pearls, which swing gently with the movement and make crisp sounds.

When Mu Lanfeng saw the hairpin, she took a step back, folded her hands in front of her, and said humbly, "Your Majesty, I dare not accept such a valuable item. I appreciate your kindness, but please take back your order."

After saying that, she quietly raised her eyes and looked at the emperor, with a hint of questioning and hesitation in her eyes.

The emperor nodded slightly, a gentle smile in his eyes, and motioned her to accept it, "Little girl, since it is a reward from the queen, just accept it!"

After receiving the emperor's approval, Mu Lanfeng bowed again, slowly stretched out her hands, respectfully took the hairpin, and said softly, "Thank you, Her Majesty, for the reward!"

As he was speaking, Eunuch Xia came in from outside at a brisk pace. When he arrived in front of the emperor, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, but he tried hard to suppress them. He bowed slightly and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan wants to see you. His Royal Highness asked Your Majesty when he could return his princess to him."

Uh……
