Chapter 204: Meeting the Empress Dowager
Thinking of this, Song Miqiu quickly went to do it.
She intentionally or unintentionally spread the word throughout the palace that she could cure infertility, so that people would not suspect that she was spreading the word on purpose while they were spreading the word about her skill.
In this way, the emperor, being in a high position, would have no concern about the exaggeration of the information.
She could use this opportunity to get closer to the Empress Dowager and others.
The thought filled Song Miqiu with excitement.
Inside the palace.
When Granny Hua entered the palace, she saw the Empress Dowager reclining on the edge of the chaise lounge, using a ballpoint pen to roll on her face while closing her eyes and enjoying herself immensely.
Thinking of the rumors she had just heard, Granny Hua stood there hesitantly.
"Standing there for so long, what do you want to say to me?" The Empress Dowager slowly opened her eyes, looked up at the position of Granny Hua, stood up expressionlessly, gently placed the ball bearing on the table on the chaise longue, raised her charming eyebrows and looked at Granny Hua.
Seeing this, Granny Hua quickly lowered her head, strode to the Empress Dowager's seat, and whispered to her what she had just heard, "Your Majesty, I just learned that there is a female physician in the Imperial Hospital who can cure infertility!"
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager was somewhat surprised, but she didn't care about the matter.
She lowered her eyes and chuckled lightly, "This person is quite capable, able to treat such symptoms. Could it be that he's just bluffing?"
“It doesn’t seem like it.” Granny Hua recalled what had happened earlier and whispered to the Empress Dowager, “That Yan family member fainted right there in the Emperor’s study. It seemed to be something to do with her heart. The imperial physician treated her as soon as he arrived!”
Even if Granny Hua said that, the Empress Dowager didn't care much about Song Miqiu.
She smiled at the other person and asked in confusion, "Why are you so concerned? People who don't know the situation might think that you, Granny Hua, are infertile."
Granny Hua blushed slightly, put her hands on her chest, and said with a hint of helplessness, "I just wanted Your Majesty to have a healthy body and an heir."
"What good would it do for me to be pregnant?" The Empress Dowager looked at the other woman with a puzzled expression, then chuckled. "With the late Emperor dead, if I were pregnant, how would the people of the world view me? And how would they view the child in my womb?"
"What's wrong with the Empress Dowager?"
Suddenly a male voice rang out, startling Granny Hua. She turned around and saw that it was the Emperor. She immediately bowed her head and knelt down in obeisance.
The Empress Dowager was about to get up when the Emperor saw this and quickly strode over. He sat on one side of the chaise longue, put his hands on the Empress Dowager's shoulders, and pressed down on her body as she tried to get up.
"Your health is weak, and besides, have I ever made you perform any formalities?" The Emperor looked at the Empress Dowager's downcast eyes and thought of what he had just heard from Granny Hua. He rubbed his fingers against the Empress Dowager's lips, and his eyes began to darken.
"Why don't we do as Granny Hua suggested and have Song Miqiu come and take a look?" The Emperor was afraid that the Empress Dowager would not believe in Song Miqiu's skills, just like before, so he quickly told her about some of the more difficult medical things that Song Miqiu had done before.
“Those hypochondria were things that even Dr. Lin couldn’t figure out, but she solved them easily.”
The Empress Dowager scoffed lightly, feigning anger as she slapped the Emperor's hand away, rolled her eyes, and said in a slightly spoiled tone, "You're the one who cares most about this matter! Weren't you sulking with me before?"
"You completely disregard my health! Putting aside whether her claim of curing infertility is true or not, have you even considered what I'll do then?"
"What else can we do?" The Emperor smiled and raised an eyebrow. "If she's pregnant, then let her be born!"
Give birth to it?!
Upon hearing these words, the Empress Dowager felt a throbbing pain in her temples. She looked at the other person with some helplessness and said, "But what will outsiders say after the child is born?"
"That's simple. I'll just say that a palace maid dared to climb into my bed and became pregnant. You're so eager to have a grandson that you wanted me to get rid of the child, but you stopped me and adopted him. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
"You..." The Empress Dowager was speechless at the Emperor's ingenious ideas.
However, since the Emperor had already put it this way, it would seem inappropriate for her not to agree. The Empress Dowager could not refuse and thus agreed in accordance with the Emperor's wishes.
She glanced at Granny Hua indifferently and said lazily, "I don't need to explain, do I?"
"This servant knows." Granny Hua smiled. She had watched the Empress Dowager's journey and knew how difficult it had been for her.
She arrived at the Imperial Hospital and randomly pulled over a physician from the entrance.
Upon seeing that it was Granny Hua, the other person quickly bowed and asked, "Granny Hua, you've come to the Imperial Hospital so suddenly, has something happened to the Empress Dowager?"
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! Don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and go call Song Miqiu out. Tell her that the Empress Dowager summons her to the palace."
Upon hearing that it was Song Miqiu, the imperial physician's emotions noticeably calmed down.
After all, they all knew about Song Miqiu's glorious deeds. She was able to coax Consort Lin, who was supposed to be dealt with, into submission and even helped Consort Lin recover from her poor health.
Based on this incident alone, it's no wonder that the imperial physicians learned that the Empress Dowager wanted to find Song Miqiu.
Song Miqiu was sitting in the same room as Ming Taicheng when there was a knock on the door. The two exchanged a glance, and Ming Taicheng called out loudly towards the door, "Come in!"
As soon as the imperial physician entered, he looked at Song Miqiu and said, "Granny Hua wants you to go with her to see the Empress Dowager."
Upon hearing this, both Song Miqiu and Ming Taicheng were surprised. Thinking of how she had been spreading the word throughout the palace, Song Miqiu lowered her head and chuckled softly. She knew that heading in this direction would be the right thing to do.
She got up and went out, and Ming Taicheng followed Song Miqiu out of the house.
"Did you do something again?" Ming Taicheng walked up to Song Miqiu and questioned her in a low voice.
If she hadn't done anything wrong, why would the Empress Dowager go looking for Song Miqiu?
In addition, given that she had been pestering him to ask about the Empress Dowager, Ming Taicheng was very suspicious of what Song Miqiu was planning to do next.
"Nothing's wrong." Song Miqiu looked at the other person innocently, spreading her hands and explaining helplessly, "Don't you know everything I do?"
Ming Taicheng suddenly remembered that there had been rumors circulating in the palace about Song Miqiu these past few days.
He looked at Song Miqiu with a hint of helplessness, "You!"
Ming Taicheng really couldn't understand what Song Miqiu's purpose was in trying to get close to the Empress Dowager.
The only thing that can be figured out is that things are definitely not as simple as Song Miqiu said, that he just wanted to curry favor with the Empress Dowager.
Everyone in the palace knew the Empress Dowager's temperament. If someone wanted to curry favor with her, no one would choose her. It was too strange that Song Miqiu chose her alone. He was really curious.
