A few days later—
"What about the bitch?"
Ye Tianshi was packing the medical box on the table. Hearing this, he looked back and said, "Your Majesty, are you talking about Miss Yingluo?"
"Besides her, who else is there?" A shadowy figure behind the curtain said, cold as frost, "Call her, and I will peel her skin with my own hands!"
The queen was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a porcelain bowl with a brown concoction in her hand. The concoction was slightly hot. She kept stirring the spoon in her hand to cool it down. She heard the words and raised her head with a smile: "Your Majesty, Yingluo is for your treatment. When you are sick, you will speak madly. Now that the emperor has cleared the blood and phlegm, he is in good spirits. Judging by the ministers and concubines, Yingluo is not only faultless, but has merit."
"...What kind of ecstasy soup did that stinky girl give you, so you believe her words?" Hongli said coldly, "In my opinion, if those words hadn't been hidden in my heart long ago, could they have been said so smoothly? She clearly It is to lend me the opportunity to cure my illness, and to vent my anger in a different way!"
The queen sighed: "Even if the emperor wants to find someone to settle accounts now, I'm afraid it won't work."
Hongli suddenly fell silent, and the curtain covered his expression at the moment. Only the silhouette of the skeleton, which was devastated by illness, was reflected on the curtain. After a long time, he said, "...Why?"
"As soon as Yingluo went back, she developed a high fever and a large rash on her body. Doctor Ye said that she contracted the disease while taking care of the emperor. Now she can't hold it anymore and fell down." The queen raised her hand and pushed aside the curtain in front of her. , "Even if Yingluo has tens of thousands of bad things, for the sake of her meticulous service and the serious illness, the emperor shouldn't blame her for making a slip of the tongue! If not, who else will do their best to serve her in the future?"
Hongli's contemplative face showed behind the tent, he suddenly turned his face and smiled gloomily at the queen: "Okay, I don't blame her, not only don't blame her, but also reward her well..."
In the wing of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, several palace maids sent Hongli's reward.
"This, this is..." Wei Yingluo was half nestled on the bed, looking at the black soup in the other's hand, the corners of her eyes could not help twitching.
"Miss Yingluo, this is the medicine that the emperor instructed Doctor Ye to prescribe for you. Drink the medicine quickly!" The palace maid walked to the edge of the bed, one lifted her up, and the other handed the spoon containing the medicine to her lips.
Given by the emperor, how can you refuse.
Wei Yingluo could only reluctantly take a sip, but with a wow, she spit out as much as she ate, coughing with one hand stuck in her throat for a long time, before she said in horror, "Why, why is it so bitter, what is in it? "
The palace maid replied honestly: "Huanglian."
Wei Yingluo immediately felt that something was wrong: "The medicine that Dr. Ye prescribed to the emperor does not contain Huanglian!"
Palace maid: "I don't have the emperor's share, but the prescription that Doctor Ye gave you must have."
Wei Yingluo said in shock, "Why?"
"Specially pass on the words of the emperor." The maid's face was expressionless, but Wei Yingluo felt that she could see through the other party's words, a scruple face, "Huanglian clears heat and dries dampness, purifies fire and detoxifies!"
"...Can you not drink it?" Wei Yingluo looked at the big bowl of Huanglian soup in horror.
"Serve Yingluo girl with medicine." The palace maid responded to her with practical actions.
At the same time, inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Ye Tianshi served next to Hongli, and he also had a medicine bowl in his hand, which contained a similar concoction, but he was the only one who was blind to Huanglian.
For this reason, Hongli still frowned, as if in order to reduce his pain, he asked, "Ye Tianshi, did that girl drink the medicine?"
The emperor's temper really came and went quickly. In the morning, he was still a lowly maid. In the evening, he became that girl. Tomorrow, he didn't know what he would become. Ye Tianshi had this thought in his heart, and said on his mouth: "If there is an order from the emperor, of course you want to drink medicine. However, the grass people don't understand, why do you want her to drink Huanglian?"
Hongli snorted coldly: "This girl's stomach is full of bad water, and she can ooze poisonous juice. Coptis japonica purifies fire and detoxifies, which is just right for her! What other symptomatic Chinese medicine is the most bitter?"
When he gets angry, even the emperor is like a mortal, still a stingy man who cares about everything. Ye Tianshi could only follow the heart of a dead comrade and never die, and carefully replied: "The most bitter Chinese medicine, Huanglian, Mutong, and gentian grass, are all miserable, and the most bitter is Sophora ginseng—"
Hongli waved his hand: "Then start today, three times a day, take different kinds of bitter medicine, and let her drink it in another way! If she doesn't want to drink it, force it! Good medicine is bitter and beneficial to the disease. This is to save lives. For the sake of the benefactor's life, do you understand?"
"Yes." Ye Tianshi replied.
"Hehehe..." Xu Shi thought of the miserable appearance of the other party's vomit while drinking, Hongli was in a good mood, thinking about it, he laughed out loud, and when Ye Tianshi's soup was brought to his mouth, he didn't find it unpleasant to drink, and smiled. drank it all.
Seeing this, Ye Tianshi twitched the corners of his mouth, but did not dare to say anything.
But it's not a bad thing to get the appointment of Hongli, at least he doesn't have to think about any reason or excuse to visit Wei Yingluo.
After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he carried the medicine box on his back and came to the side hall without stopping.
The palace servant had already received the news, and no one could stop him all the way. He just swaggered into the door, closed it with a backhand, and said to the figure lying on the bed, "Miss Wei, it's me!"
Wei Yingluo, who was originally angry and was dying of breath, heard his voice, and suddenly jumped up from the bed like a rabbit, complaining: "Doctor Ye, can you not add Huanglian, it's too bitter!"
"It's not up to me, it's an arrangement from above." Ye Tianshi pointed to the sky, implying that it was a compulsory order from the emperor, then opened the medicine box and pulled out a small medicine bottle from it, "The sulphur ointment is for the treatment of scabies. Yes, it's not a problem, change this one!"
After a pause, he asked tentatively, "Miss Yingluo, I don't understand something..."
Wei Yingluo took it with both hands: "You ask."
"Knowing that I have been allergic to peanuts since I was a child, why did I deliberately take it to cause a large rash? Besides, I was asked to forge a medical case for scabies..." Ye Tianshi asked, thinking of what Hongli had done, he had an answer in his heart. .
There's nothing hard to answer, or it's better to give him the answer, so that he doesn't think about it himself.
"...I deliberately angered the emperor. When he woke up, he would be the first to settle the account with me, but if I get sick, even if he is so angry, he won't punish me again." Wei Yingluo smiled slightly, her face full of Sickly pale, "After all, everyone knows that I only get sick when I take care of the emperor."
Ye Tianshi was a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that everything was reasonable. He nodded in admiration: "The girl is smart and loyal, and it is difficult for others to match one or two. Don't worry, the grass people will try their best to cover up, so that you will not reveal the slightest flaw!"
Wei Yingluo smiled and said nothing.
When Ye Tianshi left, she muttered to herself: "Loyalty? I just took the opportunity to vent my anger. Who told him to treat the Queen like this..."
If a lotus flower blooms in the mud, the queen's character can be regarded as spotless compared to other people in the palace. Wei Yingluo likes her very much, and sometimes even can't help comparing her to her own sister, and then come to the conclusion... These two are very similar, both in terms of character and the way they looked when they took care of her tenderly...
Wei Yingluo can enter the palace alone for her sister, and she can also scold Hongli for the queen.
"It's just good to scold people for a while, and the next day will be difficult..." She sighed, but she didn't regret it. He went to bed, took good medicine for himself with difficulty, and then blew the candle and fell asleep.
The pain was unbearable, Wei Yingluo turned over uncomfortably, those places that were out of reach of her hands, places where there was no medicine, were itchy and painful.
… who is it
Wei Yingluo didn't open her eyes, she continued to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.
A cold hand fell on her forehead, quietly testing the temperature of her forehead, before pulling away for a long time.
After that, it was the sound of unplugging the bottle cap, and the hand fell back on her body again, with the fragrance of the ointment, the movement was light and slow, the back of the arm, the neck, the back of the shoulder... Those places that she could not reach, he once As soon as she put medicine on her, he didn't stray half a step. He didn't take the opportunity to touch the places that men shouldn't touch on her back and waist, even if she was "sleeping" at the moment, even if she was awake. blame him.
Yes, it's a man's hand.
The hand of a man she knew.
The bottle cap was closed again, and the room fell silent.
Wei Yingluo still closed her eyes, her body felt a lot more comfortable, but her heart was itchy and numb. She didn't know whether she should open her eyes at this moment, and she didn't know whether she should take a look at him and then smile at him.
Afraid that he would run away as usual.
Until a gentle kiss fell on her eyelashes, like a dragonfly, like a tiger sniffing a rose.
Wei Yingluo tried her best to restrain herself so that her eyelashes would not tremble slightly like her own heart.
It wasn't until the sound of the door closing that she opened her eyes, sighed, and raised her hand to cover her kissed eyelashes.
"...This disease." In the dark night, Wei Yingluo couldn't help but cocked the corners of her mouth, "It's not all bad."
The illness came like a mountain, and the illness went away like silk. Ye Tianshi's soup and medicine boiled on the tenth day. In the guard's office, Fu Heng was flipping through a scroll of military books in his hand, and suddenly a pair of hands stretched out from behind him, covering his eyes.
"Yingluo, why are you here?" Fu Heng let her cover his eyes, easily guessed the identity of the other party, and asked with a smile, "Your illness is better?"
"How do you know it's me?" Wei Yingluo put down her hand and went around to his side. The pain in the past few days seemed to have made her thinner, and her waist became more and more slender and unbearable to hold. The smile on her face was much more moving, her smile to him was always different from the smile to others, "I'm fine, thanks to a certain Tianluo son who took good care of me and changed the veil on my forehead every night, Wipe hands and arms with cold water."
"Cough." Hearing the title of Young Master Tianluo, Fu Heng covered his lips with his fist unnaturally and coughed, "Who is this person?"
Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Wei Yingluo simply pretended to be stupid with him, and said in surprise, "Isn't it you?"
Fu Heng shook his head.
"...Then what should I do?" Wei Yingluo bit her lip, and her snow-white teeth left a few pale white marks on her red lips, "I thought he was you, so I allowed him to apply medicine for me, in those places, I No other men are allowed to touch…”
Fu Heng was stunned when he heard the words.
"Since it's not you, then I'll leave." Wei Yingluo sighed softly and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Fu Heng couldn't sit still anymore, got up and took her arm.
"... What else do you want to tell me?" She turned her face away from him.
"I..." Fu Heng didn't know what to say to her for a while.
It's really self-inflicted, why bother to tell such a lie, and how to step down now
"Fu Heng!" While Fu Heng was distressed, his friend's loud voice came in, "After ten days in a row, I'm about to fall apart—"
With a bang, the door opened, Hai Lancha kept pushing the door, stunned at the door, his eyes moved left and right, and smirked: "Did I disturb you? I'll go now, I'll go now, you continue , you continue ha..."
"...Ten days?" Wei Yingluo suddenly turned around and punched Fu Heng's chest, her cheeks as red as her lips, not so much anger, but more shy, gritted her teeth and said, "It's not you!"
Fu Heng looked at her back as she rushed out the door, and couldn't help raising his hand to caress his chest. He felt that he was sick too. The place was itchy and soft, like soaking in warm soup, like bathing in a sea of flowers.
"I really didn't do it on purpose." Hai Lan saw that Wei Yingluo had run away, thinking it was her fault, rubbed her hands, and carefully please, "How about... I'll be on duty for you one more day?"
Fu Heng slammed his fist into his chest. His fist was not like Wei Yingluo's flower fist and embroidered legs. The force of the cracking stone almost threw Hailancha out.
"No need!" Fu Heng laughed, "You big mouth!"
If his heart is blossoming and layer upon layer, in comparison, the mood of another person is not so beautiful.
"What did you say?"
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, another tea cup was broken.
Hongli sat on the edge of the bed with an ugly face: "You said that the cheap servant has returned to Changchun Palace? When? Isn't she still ill?"
"Go back to the emperor, Miss Wei has recovered and moved back to Changchun Palace last night." Li Yu replied cautiously.
When Hongli heard this, he was furious and knocked over the copper basin beside him.
"She obviously got sick after me, and the duration of the disease is at least a month!" Hongli said coldly, "Why can she recover before me?"
"This... this..." Li Yu hesitantly said, "maybe... she's less ill?"
"Because she hasn't been sick from start to finish!" Hongli said angrily, "Find this bitch, this time I must peel her skin with my own hands!"
"What's wrong with the emperor? Such a big temper." A gentle and peaceful voice suddenly sounded, and everyone looked at the sound, and they were all settled in the smile of the other party.
There are only two women in the world with such a calming power to smile, one is Guanyin and the other is the queen.
Even Hongli saw her smile, half of his anger had gone, and he was about to vent the remaining half of his anger, when he heard her say: "Chen and concubine came all the way, and heard many palace people praising the emperor."
"Oh?" Hong Li was slightly surprised, "What did they say?"
"A lot." The queen sat down on the edge of the bed. "For example, the emperor can endure what ordinary people can't bear, but Wei Yingluo offended you because of her illness, but you don't care about it at all. You are a magnanimous and wise monarch."
When Hongli heard this, his face was strange.
"Not only do you not blame her, but after knowing that she was infected with a bad disease by you, you did not drive her away, but instead allowed her to stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and let the best doctor see her. He is indeed a virtuous prince, hard to find... ' the queen continued.
"Enough!" Hong Li couldn't listen anymore and interrupted her.
The queen stopped talking, and just looked at him with a smile.
Li Yu carefully looked at the faces of the two of them. Seeing that neither of them said anything, she had to say: "Your Majesty, then Wei Yingluo... do you want to bring it back?"
Hongli was not good at getting angry with the queen. Seeing him hit the muzzle of his gun, he immediately turned the head of the gun and threw the fire on him. The dragon boots slammed on Li Yu's chest and kicked him all at once. Hongli angrily said: "You Don't you hear it! People speak out to provoke anger to save me! Infection with a vicious disease is to serve the disease! Even if it is spread out, everyone will praise her as a loyal servant who is not afraid of power! What's more, she has recovered from her illness and can't be arrested again. Stay in pain! If I commit crimes now, wouldn't I be a faint-hearted monarch who doesn't know what's wrong! I'm just a mute who eats huanglian, I can't tell the pain!"
As he spoke, his face really showed a hint of bitterness, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, Mutong, Gentian grass, Sophora flavescens...
Those medicines that he poured into Wei Yingluo's bowl are now all in his own mouth.
It's so painful, unspeakably miserable.
