"Doctor, please take a closer look. Wanrong has a weak spleen and stomach, so she often drinks barley tea to help digestion. How could there be cassia seeds in it?"
Nan Zhi's complexion changed again and again, and her originally rosy lips instantly lost their color.
"The water boiled with Cassia seeds smells the same as barley tea, and it is difficult to detect it in barley tea. Cassia seeds are a very cold substance, and Wanrong has a weak spleen and stomach. If she drinks this often, it will definitely harm her body over time. This is also the reason why Wanrong has constant abdominal pain."
The imperial physician who came was relatively young, and he spoke without reservation, and it was obvious that he had also entered the palace not long ago.
This is also why Ye Jun ordered people to find a young doctor. Those old doctors are all idiots, and they may not say anything even if they find a problem.
Nan Zhi was about to say something when Ye Jun interrupted her.
"Thank you, Imperial Physician. Perhaps the maids below were careless and got it mixed up. Please don't tell anyone else. I'm new to the palace and don't want to cause any trouble."
After he finished speaking, he winked at Huiyue, who understood and immediately stuffed a purse into his hand.
The imperial physician avoided the purse and bowed his hands respectfully, "Wanrong, don't worry. I have forgotten everything after this incident. My name is Shen Pingzhi. My father has some connections with Mr. Chu Xiuwen of the Chu family in Bianzhou. I have received help from Mr. Chu. I will just repay him. If Wanrong needs me in the future, please let me know."
The Chu family of Bianzhou is Ye Yun’s maternal ancestors, and Chu Xiuwen is Ye Yun’s uncle and the elder brother of his mother Chu.
"So there is such a connection. Thank you, Doctor Shen." Ye Jun smiled. "But this purse is a gift from me. If Doctor Shen doesn't accept it, I will feel uneasy."
Shen Pingzhi lowered his eyes, said no more, accepted the purse, and let Huiyue send him out of Yuxiu Pavilion.
After everyone left, Nan Zhi knelt in front of Ye Jun. Normally, she was in charge of Ye Jun's food and clothing, while Huiyue took care of everything else. Now that there was a problem, it was her fault.
"It was my negligence that allowed someone to take advantage of me. Please punish me, Wanrong!"
"It's inevitable that you'll make mistakes when you first enter the palace. This time, it just happened to be my day, and the effect of this thing became stronger. I discovered it. You should be more careful in the future. This kind of thing must not happen again. This time, I will fine you one month's salary, so be careful."
It's not like there's no penalty at all, but this month's salary isn't a big deal for Nan Zhi.
She has always been serving me personally, so she doesn't need these things.
When Huiyue came back, she received a letter written by Ye Jun himself, which was addressed to her family.
We can’t believe all of Shen Pingzhi’s words, but if he really is a connection from my maternal grandparents’ family, it would be a great help, so we must find out more.
As for how this Cassia seed got in, we naturally need to investigate it.
This thing was discovered early, and if taken for a long time, it will damage the foundation.
A cold body can cause infertility in women. I'm afraid the person behind this is planning this.
Since you dare to plot against her, don't let her find out who it is, otherwise you will be repaid a hundredfold!
Ye Jun asked Nan Zhi to investigate the matter, and after drinking some warming and nourishing medicine, he lay down to rest.
But he didn't fall asleep. He just closed his eyes to rest, and was thinking about how he could follow them out of the palace.
If I can't go out with him this time, I'm afraid the emperor will forget about me completely.
In the afternoon, Ye Jun went to the small kitchen as usual and made two desserts, a bowl of grape double skin milk and a bowl of watermelon smoothie.
But this time she carried it to Jiuchen Palace personally.
At this moment, Yi Wanrong was serving the pens and ink inside, and Yuan Jiu was very cautious when he came in to pass on the message.
"Leave some snacks and let her go back first."
The dim sum tasted good, but he was not very interested in the person who made it. That was also because Yi Wanrong was already serving him, and Ning Chen did not like having a lot of women around him.
"Your Majesty, Sister Ye has shown great thoughtfulness in coming here despite the hot summer. Your Majesty should go meet her. It would be a shame to disappoint her."
Yi Wanrong spoke in a gentle voice, with a generous and virtuous attitude.
Ning Chen glanced at her, frowned slightly, but still relaxed.
When Ye Jun came in, he saw Yi Wanrong helping Ning Chen wash his hands.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Ye Jun saluted calmly, put the food box on the table, and took out the two glass bowls inside. "Your Majesty, I made two snacks by myself and sent them to you to taste."
"You are thoughtful." Ning Chen replied lightly, wiped his hands and turned around.
When I looked up, I saw the woman sitting at the table in a soft, honey-colored, snow-like gauze dress. She had lifted her sleeves, revealing her moon-like wrists. Her jade-like fingers were holding a glass bowl, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
Her black hair was tied up, like morning clouds, and she wore a silk double-buckle pearl hairpin and a few short hairpins like blue clouds and white cranes, which made her look elegant and pleasant.
Ning Chen had to admit that this woman really knew how to dress up and was really pretty.
I still remember the first time I slept with Ye Jun, she looked like a charming and alluring little elf without realizing it. Today, she looked like a fairy who had just entered the mortal world. She was so changeable, but every side of her was beautiful.
Seeing that Ning Chen was a little absent-minded, Yi Wanrong felt regretful. Why did she let this vixen get close to the emperor
"Sister Ye is really good at cooking. I have never seen these two things before. I am lazy and never learned cooking when I was a girl. I never thought Sister Ye could cook these."
The ladies from wealthy families all learn how to be a housekeeper and do accounting. Needlework and cooking are all taken care of by the servants around them, so few of them are proficient in them.
When she said this, she was implying that the snack was probably not made by Ye Jun himself.
Ning Chen could naturally understand the meaning behind the words, but he didn't care.
It's just a snack. The women in the harem are delicate, and it's a bit tiring to go to the kitchen and watch the servants making it in the hot summer.
"I like to think about these foods in my spare time. If you like it, I will dare to borrow the emperor's small kitchen and it won't take much time to make another one." Ye Jun said with a smile.
Yi Wanrong never thought that she would really do it. Her eyes flickered and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. "Sister, you are too polite. I don't like sweets."
Ning Chen became impatient after listening to what they said.
To say that he likes Yi Wanrong very much is not the case. It's just that he needs to use the Wu family now. After getting along with them for the past few days, he also feels that the Wu family is very hypocritical.
Although the women in the harem were all pretending to be serious, they could still be divided into three categories: how serious they were and how good they looked. Obviously, Wu's acting skills were not good enough, and it made people feel uncomfortable watching her.
"Yi Wanrong must be tired after serving for the whole afternoon. You should go back first. Ye Wanrong, thank you for your hard work. I will prepare the snacks myself. You should go back too." Ning Chen ordered them to leave.
Even though she was reluctant, Yi Wanrong had to withdraw, hating Ye Jun to death in her heart.
But Ye Jun couldn't leave, as he hadn't done his work yet. He bowed and started talking.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you. Please allow me to stay for a while longer."
