The medical concubine is too difficult to tease

In the evening, the colorful clouds faded and the sky gradually darkened.

Torches were placed on both sides of the well-guarded gate, and lights were gradually lit up everywhere in Prince Huan's mansion. Walking back and forth with all kinds of things, the footsteps are light, and the huge Prince Huan Mansion is quiet and peaceful.

At the corner door of the back room, two guards stood upright, and when they saw a person approaching with a delicate food box, they raised a familiar smile.

"Xin Liu, are you here so late today?"

Xin Liu has a pleasing face, and he is used to bowing his back all the year round, and greets people with a smile before saying a word.

"Two brothers, I'm ashamed and ashamed. I was delayed for a while when I left the palace. Fortunately, it's not dark yet, otherwise we would have sinned."

"You are from the empress dowager's palace, and you are used to this job, so you should be fine." The guard smiled, and his eyes fell on a woman dressed as a maid behind him.

Xin Liu thanked him again and again, seeing where he was looking, he hastily moved away, rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"This is Mama Zhao's niece in the backyard. The eldest brother knows that Mama Zhao treats the little one like a family member. Every time she comes, she will stuff the little one with some delicious food to take home. Her niece came to the capital to find relatives. The rules in the house are strict. If you don’t come, I entrust the younger one to pick it up and deliver it, no, the younger one can eat people with a soft mouth, so why don’t you do me a little favor.”

The guard hesitated, "But, apart from the concubine's maid, there are only male servants and mothers-in-law in the mansion. Now, you have to report it to Nanny Xian?"

Xin Liu stepped forward to stuff a purse for the two of them, and sighed with an apologetic smile, "Brothers, please help, we all know that Madam Xian's rule is strict, and the servants who enter the mansion must be good at it, each has its own merits, this girl is from outside the city. In Zhuangzi, the family is poor, and the rules and so on are naturally close. How can I pass the level of Nanny Xian? Mother Zhao said that she will ask the princess to go. The princess is kind, but it is just a small matter of nodding. There are not many, there is nothing to be alarmed by multiple sprinklers."

The guards pushed and shoved, and felt that they agreed in their hearts. The princes and concubines like to be quiet, and the palace is so big, so there are so few servants.

"Well... that's fine, you have to let Zhao's mother pay attention, don't implicate our brothers."

Xin Liu hurriedly bowed his waist and laughed, "Thank you two elder brothers very much. It's only natural. The younger one will tell Mother Zhao carefully and ask her to bring more drinks and snacks to the elder brothers on weekdays. If there is any need in the future Take what you bought, just follow the instructions of the little one, and do your best to keep it!"

"Okay, now everyone is busy with the master's dinner, you go in." The guard tightened the heavy purse in his arms, opened the door and said in a low voice.

"Hey! Thank you! Why don't you thank the two big brothers?" Xin Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to the people behind him.

The woman was dressed in plain civilian clothes, holding a small dusty bundle, combing ordinary double buns, buried her head and said thank you in a low voice.

The door closed behind her, the woman threw down her burden, and clapped her hands in disgust. The raised face was You Jing, who was tugging at the itchy cloth on her body with a full face.

"I gave you so much money, and you let me in like this, and dressed like this, it's so ugly!"

"Hush!" Xin Liu hurriedly signaled her to be silent, walked to one side of the wall, and smiled apologetically, "Miss You, the servant told you that only in this way can you get in, remember the direction the servant told you? , just go over there to the backyard, Mother Zhao is waiting there, the other servants can't help, so I have to send this jasper cake to the kitchen as soon as possible, and I'm going back to the palace."

"Okay, let's go."

You Jing stared at the food box, waved her hands, and with an excited smile on her lips, she walked towards the backyard.

In front of the side courtyard, a woman in gray was holding small scissors, trimming two potted green potted plants on the porch, her eyes were staring at the trail ahead, absent-minded.

Seeing You Jing appearing, he quickly glanced around, stepped forward and led her into the courtyard.

You Jing looked at the empty and dark room, there was only a low couch in front of it with a bundle on it, she frowned, "What the hell is this place?"

"Miss You, no one lives here, no one will come, but if you can't light the lamp, I'll offend you first. Go straight ahead and you'll be in the main courtyard. You just wait here. When the prince returns to the main courtyard, the servant will come again." Let me inform you that the slave is going out to work first."

Mother Zhao finished speaking quickly in a low voice, went out and closed the door, You Jing rubbed her arms and looked around the room, her heart was a little hairy, but thinking of meeting the prince later, even lingering, she couldn't help but feel flustered, took a deep breath and sat on the low stool Sit down, open the bag, and take out a set of Shu silk tulle satin dress, shining brightly through the dim light outside the window.

In the study room, Xiao Huan dropped a white chess piece, his thin lips raised lightly, and the two white paper strips moved lightly, which was a little funny.

"Ma'am, where do you want to post this time?"

On the opposite side, Li Ru'an pasted notes on both sides of his cheeks, pouted, "My husband's cunning is beyond words."

"Practice what you have learned, you learned it from Madam." Xiao Huan slowly picked up the note and pasted it on his smooth and fair forehead, he couldn't help laughing.

Li Ru'an blew on the note hanging on the tip of his nose, leaned on the soft pillow leisurely, and gave him a good look, "My husband used to be gentle and bright, but now he has learned the tricks of a little girl like me."

"As Madam said, soldiers never tire of deceit. As a husband, I feel more and more reasonable."

"My lord and concubine, Eunuch Lu from Yongfu Palace is here."

Yi Xing's voice came from outside the door, the two looked at each other, pulled off the white strip and stood up to open the door.

"Our family has seen the prince and concubine."

"Get up, what's the matter?" Xiao Huan waved his hand and asked.

"The empress dowager is a little tired and dizzy in the afternoon, it's not serious, let the younger ones keep quiet, Madam Zheng is worried, and ordered our family to invite the princess into the palace to have a look."

"Dizzy and tired? Can you ask for an imperial physician?" Xiao Huan frowned.

"The two imperial doctors are here. They said that the symptoms are mild, and the empress doesn't want to say anything."

Li Ru'an went back to the soft seat and picked up his coat, "The curfew is coming soon, you can't stay in the palace overnight, I'll go in, I will guard the queen mother tonight, and you can enter the palace tomorrow."

"Well, let someone report something in time."

----

In Yongfu Palace, two imperial doctors were standing outside and lying on the couch inside, Li Ru'an pulled out the needle, Zheng Yan lightly laid down the Queen Mother's clothes, covered her with a blanket, and looked worried.

"What did the queen mother eat today?"

Li Ru'an packed the needle bag, with thoughtful eyes, the queen mother had dizziness, mild nausea and vomiting, low-grade fever and sweating symptoms, and the pulse was a little weak, the symptoms were not particularly serious, it looked like it was caused by eating something wrong.

Madam Zheng pondered and recalled, "It's nothing out of the ordinary. Breakfast is crystal dumplings, stir-fried eggplant box, minced meat porridge, plus some usual small snacks. The main course of lunch is stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised duck with four treasures, and steamed sea bass. Soft shrimp paste in clear soup, and the rest are the usual dishes, and after waking up at noon, I ate two pieces of jasper cake and half a bowl of lotus seed soup."

There were no ingredients such as Xiangke in the dishes. Li Ru'an stretched out his hand to take the pulse again. Just now, he applied a few acupuncture points that help qi and strengthen sweat, and the pulse condition stabilized a little.

The queen mother felt that the vomiting had stopped at this moment, but her mind was still a little heavy, and she recovered a little, and smiled.

"It's probably going to take a walk in the garden at noon to digest food. It will be windy when you see it. Ah Yan is really, and it alarmed you."

"Madam Zheng is worried about you. As you get older, you should pay more attention to even minor ailments. The queen mother doesn't allow you to be self-willed." Li Ru'an put her hands back on the quilt with a calm expression.

Mother Zheng smiled when she saw her master showing off her face, and said, "Have you heard, Madam? This servant just said that if the prince and concubine know about it, they will definitely accuse you of being capricious."

The queen mother smiled helplessly, "You are happy that Ai's family has been punished."

"Queen mother, go to sleep. Ru'an will stay here tonight and watch over you." Li Ru'an tucked the quilt up for her and spoke softly.

"Well, Ru'an is filial, Ah Yan, remember to pass the meal to Ru'an, clean up the room next door..."

"Hey, this servant knows, Madam, go to sleep."

The queen mother smiled, and fell asleep in a moment, Li Ru'an pointed her eyes at Madam Zheng, and walked out with her quietly.
