Live up to the country

Coming out of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Luo Lianyi felt a little lost. After they returned to the palace, they both sat in silence, full of worries.

Luo Lianyi missed Liu Fan in her heart, but she didn't dare to see him. This road of love seemed to get narrower and narrower, so narrow that it was difficult to walk.The cold rain outside the window was misty, ticking on the plantains and on the porch steps, making people even more worried.

Apart from reading, she seemed to be unable to find a way to relieve her boredom. Xiaozhu practiced in the inner hall, and she took medical books to read in the Nuan Pavilion, but she couldn't calm down after flipping through them.

In the afternoon, when she was dozing off on the edge of the bed in a trance, she suddenly heard the call of the eunuch outside.

She got up quickly, tidied her clothes and hair in a hurry, and came out. A middle-aged eunuch was waiting for her outside.

"The emperor asked Liang Fengyu to go to the Palace of Compassion, and the queen mother caught wind and cold on the way back to the palace." The eunuch was quite respectful to her.

"Okay, wait a minute." Luo Lianyi hurried in to pack her medical baggage.

The first time she saw the queen mother, she was a little uneasy. The impression she got from the TV was that the queen mother was quite rigid and scary. Could this Xiling queen mother be difficult to deal with?

Following the eunuchs into the Palace of Compassion, the emperor, empress, and concubines stood all over the room. Luo Lianyi felt a little stage fright at once. She walked in slowly, first paying respects to the emperor and empress. Duanmu Yunji was expressionless, only squinting glanced at her.

"Fengyu, quickly follow me into the room to see the Queen Mother." Liu Hongjing and Yan Yuese took her hand, and checked her previous cuts by the way.

"Does it still hurt?" His voice was magnetic and gentle.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Luo Lianyi shook her head and couldn't help but sneak a glance at him.

After entering the inner hall, a faint scent of sandalwood lingered in her nostrils. Luo Lianyi felt that she had entered a Buddhist hall. When she looked up, she saw a graceful and luxurious man with silver hair lying on the imperial couch with his eyes closed. The old lady, besides the maids on the left and right, and a few people kneeling on the ground beating their legs, there was also a girl standing beside her, who was gently rubbing her shoulders.

"Royal Father." Seeing Liu Hongjing, the girl slightly bent her knees and called out softly.

"Ling'er, how does the ancestor feel?" Liu Hongjing asked.

Luo Lianyi recognized that the girl was a little princess, and smiled at her. Ling'er was not at all coquettish, and returned a gentle smile to Luo Lianyi.

"The emperor's grandmother said that she was depressed and her body was weak." Ling'er reported back to her father.

Liu Hongjing nodded, walked in front of the imperial couch, and called softly: "Old ancestor!"

The Queen Mother slightly opened her eyes and called out "Your Majesty."

"Old ancestor, let Liang Fengyu show you, this child is very good at medicine." Liu Hongjing said.

"Really? On the way back to the palace from Ai's family, I heard from the old prince that the emperor's illness is all thanks to her." The queen mother cheered up and sat up, looking at Luo Lianyi with a smile.

"Meet the empress dowager." Luo Lianyi quickly bowed down. The empress dowager was kind-hearted, and her nervous heart relaxed.

"Well, I didn't expect it to be a girl's house, okay, come here and let Ai's family have a look." The queen mother waved her hand, signaling Luo Lianyi to go over.

Luo Lianyi walked over, the queen mother looked at her with a smile, asked Ling'er to move a stool for her to sit beside her, and then stretched out her hand to let her feel the pulse.

"The imperial physicians in the palace are all men. It's rare to have such a lovely person with good medical skills. Looking at her small hands, the Ai family is half cured of her illness." The queen mother smiled and looked at Luo Lianyi's slender hands.

"Haha, the old ancestor was so pretty." Liu Hongjing joked.

"Well, Aijia finds all beautiful things pleasing to the eye." The queen mother nodded.

Luo Lianyi unconsciously raised her head and smiled, but because she was wearing a mask, she only twitched the corners of her mouth when she smiled, without much expression.

"If the face is as beautiful as these hands, it will be complete." The Queen Mother stretched out her fingers and raised her chin, saying with some regret.

Luo Lianyi was speechless for a moment, she shouldn't be so straightforward.

"Empress Dowager, you are tired from traveling and have a cold, I will prescribe some medicine for you to evacuate." Luo Lianyi said after taking the pulse.The court lady presented the pen and paper, and Luo Lianyi opened a list, ordering her to send it to the Shang Yao Bureau to make a decoction.

"Queen Mother, do you often feel dull pain in the upper abdomen, loss of appetite, fullness after meals, and acid regurgitation?" Luo Lianyi asked, carefully examining the Queen Mother's face, and asked her to stick out her tongue for her to see.

Ling'er said beside her: "Yes, the emperor's grandmother often does this."

"It's because you have symptoms of chronic gastritis. I'll take care of it for you when you recover from your cold," Luo Lianyi said.

"Hey, okay, this old disease has been tormenting Aijia for many years, you have to treat Aijia well." The queen mother nodded with a smile, and then lay down again with a tired look on her face.

"You rest first, and you'll feel better if you take the medicine later. If you feel uncomfortable, just send someone over to call me." Luo Lianyi said.

Coming out of the inner hall, all the concubines and empresses had already left. Luo Lianyi suddenly ran into Liu Huo who came to visit the empress dowager. She stopped on reflex, lowered her head and turned sideways to get out of the way.

Liu Huo glanced at her, and after paying respects to Liu Hongjing, he asked, "Father, is the emperor's grandmother asleep?"

"Sleep, don't go in." Liu Hongjing didn't look good when he saw him.

"The minister there will leave." Liu Huo looked resentful, and when he exited the room, he glanced at Luo Lianyi again.Luo Lianyi's body tensed up, feeling inexplicably nervous.

"Bing'er, tomorrow I'm going to Sanqing Taoist Temple, you go get ready and go with me." Liu Hongjing said.

"Yes." Luo Lianyi hurriedly agreed.After she came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, she lowered her head and hurried towards the Shicui Palace, but unexpectedly, when she was going around a flower pond, Liu Huo came out from behind the rockery and blocked her.

"Liang Fengyu." Liu Huo opened the folding fan, looking her up and down with shadowy eyes.

Luo Lianyi stood still, she didn't even dare to speak at the moment, for fear that he would recognize her voice, after all, they talked a lot when they were in the inn that night.

"Liang Fengyu's expression is so weird, why does this king look like he's wearing a mask?" Liu Huo suddenly approached her, and quickly grabbed her ears with his fingers.

Luo Lianyi fell back and dodged suddenly, but Liu Huo turned around and hugged her from behind. Just as she was about to tear off her mask, Liu Hongjing suddenly shouted: "Bold!"

Liu Huo had no choice but to let go of Luo Lianyi, and turned to look at his father.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Hongjing glared at him.

"My son saw that Liang Fengyu almost fell, so he helped her up." Liu Huo replied lightly.

"Bing'er, did you trip just now?" Liu Hongjing asked Luo Lianyi.

Luo Lianyi didn't dare to say more, so she nodded.

"There are some mosses here, you have to be careful, let's go, go with me." Liu Hongjing came over and took Luo Lianyi with him, Liu Huo still stood there watching, with an intriguing light in his eyes.

He put away his folding fan and walked straight to Qingning Palace.
