Ye Jun slept until noon the next day. When he woke up, he felt a lot more relaxed, but still weak.
Just as I was about to turn over, my waist started to hurt, and then I remembered that I was hit hard yesterday.
"Huiyue." Ye Jun called out in a hoarse voice.
"Is the beauty awake? I am Luzhi. Sister Huiyue and Sister Nanzhi have been taking turns to guard her for a long time. Now they are going to rest. Would you mind helping her get up?"
The voice of the second-class palace maid was heard outside. Ye Jun responded, and Luzhi then came into the room.
Normally, there were few second-class servants who served him closely, and he was afraid that Ye Jun might not be used to it, so he asked cautiously.
After helping her dress and wash, Luzhi said, "My beauty has just woken up. I'll go get the imperial physician to take a look. It's almost time to take the medicine. Lumei is decocting the medicine herself. I'll ask Huiyue or Nanzhi to come and accompany you."
"No need. Let them rest and let Luhe come to comb my hair." Ye Jun waved his hand and said, "I remember Huiyue also fell yesterday. Is she okay? Ask Doctor Shen to check on her later."
Luzhi agreed, went out and replaced Luhe with someone else, and went to the Imperial Hospital to look for someone.
Ye Jun is now considered a new elite, so the one who came to the Imperial Hospital is an old and prestigious doctor.
However, she had instructed to call Doctor Shen, so Shen Pingzhi also came.
After the examination, the imperial physician said that she was no longer in danger, but her illness was spreading slowly and she still needed to be carefully cared for.
"Excuse me, Doctor Shen. Please accept the money for the tea. It's all my gratitude. I'd like to trouble you to stay for a while. My girl was injured yesterday. Please take a look at her."
Ye Jun said with a smile, and Luzhi immediately stuffed a purse into the hands of the elderly doctor.
"Thank you very much, my beauty. I will take my leave first." The old doctor was very tactful.
He left and opened the purse, finding twenty taels of silver inside. He had always heard about the generosity of the man in Yuxiu Pavilion, but after experiencing it himself today, he realized how generous he really was.
Shen Pingzhi prescribed some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment for Huiyue and then came back to reply, thinking that since she wanted him to stay, there must be something wrong.
Ye Jun also went straight to the point and gave him two honey pills.
"I am young now, and my position is low, so I don't want to have children for the time being. Before I entered the palace, my mother asked someone to make these pills for contraception, but the doctor is now traveling around the world, and I can't find him anymore. I still have two pills here. Please ask Doctor Shen to take them back and see if you can make the same one, which can be used for contraception and is not too harmful to the body."
Shen Pingzhi took the meatball and smelled it first, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"There is a lot of knowledge in this pill. I am afraid it will take me several days to study it thoroughly. But now I see that there are many precious medicinal materials in it. I will do my best to relieve the beauty's worries."
"Then I'll trouble Doctor Shen."
Ye Jun waved his hand and asked someone to bring the nanmu box on the upper shelf of the cabinet. When he opened it, there were some gold leaves inside. He pinched a piece and stuffed it into Shen Pingzhi's hand.
"It must have cost a lot, and we can't let Doctor Shen spend the money."
"You're welcome, my lady." Shen Pingzhi naturally accepted it.
In fact, the imperial doctors' families are not short of money. They usually run clinics or drug stores outside the palace. But accepting this thing also makes Ye Jun feel at ease.
After seeing Shen Pingzhi off, Huiyue and Nanzhi also packed up and came into the house to serve.
Ye Jun was sick and didn't want to eat meat, so the kitchen brought her some light porridge with a few refreshing side dishes. She ate a small bowl and put down her chopsticks.
"Beautiful lady, would you please lie down for a while?" Nan Zhi asked softly.
Ye Jun shook his head. "No, I feel exhausted lying down all day. Let me sit down. Bring me my sketchbook. I want to paint."
Less than two sticks of incense had passed when Bai Zhu came in to announce that the emperor had arrived.
"No." Ye Jun said calmly, "Just say that I'm sick and my appearance has been damaged. I don't want the emperor to see me."
Bai Zhu was stunned for a moment, but still went out to pass on the message.
Ning Chen had already walked into the yard, but was blocked outside when he was still one door away from the main house.
"Your Majesty, our beauty said that her appearance has been damaged due to her illness, and she dare not let Your Majesty see her, so she will not see Your Majesty today."
Although Bai Zhu was afraid, he still spoke out his words.
"What?" Ning Chen didn't react for a moment. After asking this question, he felt complicated.
Yuan Jiu followed behind, his jaw dropped in shock, thinking that Lady Ming was getting bolder and bolder, and actually turned the emperor away, but this reason...
It seems to make sense, and it may even make the emperor feel a little sympathetic and guilty.
Sure enough, Ning Chen stood at the door for a while and finally did not go in.
"Tell your beautiful lady to take good care of herself. I will come back when I have time."
After sending Ning Chen away, Bai Zhu was scared to death. He had never done such a thing before, to be turned away by the emperor.
It felt like my head was tied to my belt.
"You did a good job. No one is allowed to let the emperor in unless he wants to see him. The emperor has the final say in this palace, but I have the final say in Yuxiu Pavilion."
Ye Jun smiled faintly and gave Bai Zhu five taels of silver in a very good mood.
Nowadays, the few people who can serve closely are all smart and remember everything they saw.
So, two days later, when Ning Chen came again, he was stopped outside by Luzhi.
This time it’s the same excuse as last time.
Ning Chen felt uncomfortable, but he could figure out what was going on.
That day in Fengqi Palace, Ye Jun had indeed suffered a great deal of injustice, and he must have been throwing a tantrum.
The feeling of being shut out was naturally not good, and it was also a bit embarrassing, but Ning Chen felt something strange and novel in his heart, as if he was coaxing a child.
So after not seeing anyone this time, Yuxiu Pavilion received a large amount of rewards from the emperor that day, including cloth and jewelry.
Of course, Yi Wanrong also has it.
But this is different. Didn't Ye Jun get the title a long time ago? Now he refuses to see the emperor and still gets rewarded. This makes Yi Wanrong look inferior.
In Yingyan Pavilion, the servants did not dare to tell Mrs. Wu that there were also rewards in Yuxiu Pavilion, for fear that their master would get angry and leave her with a root of illness during her confinement.
Wei Rui Xuan.
Yao Xiang was practicing calligraphy. Hearing the news outside, he paused with the pen in his hand and a slight smile appeared on his face.
"I underestimated the Ye family. Now they seem to be rising to prominence."
"Her brother made a great contribution not long ago, so it's reasonable for the emperor to be concerned about him." Zizhu said.
Yao Xiang could not deny it and asked another question, "How is the investigation of the Queen's case going?"
Qiwen replied, "I heard there has been some progress, but the clues are still unclear."
"Poor Yi Wanrong. She was favored as soon as she entered the palace. She finally had a child, but it's gone just like that. You see, Wu's mother's family is thriving and is valued by the emperor. If she gave birth to a prince, would the queen still be able to sleep at night?" Yao Xiang sneered.
Zizhu tasted the flavor first and started laughing too.
"That's right. Yi Wanrong's family is a newly noble civil official, and Ming Meiren's brother is a newly noble military general. If anything happens to these two, the Empress will surely be the one who will be most pleased."
"A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole. The suspicion between husband and wife has been accumulated slowly."
Yao Xiang stopped writing, and on the white paper were written four powerful words: keep a low profile.
