Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 162 Respect is worse than obedience!

Jiao Jingyao turned his head and said in a gentle tone: "Doctor Lin, you don't need to be polite, get up."

"Yes, thank you, my lord." Saying this, Imperial Physician Lin got up and stood aside.Now, there is not only a silver-masked man in this courtyard, but also the prince and princess. After some consideration, Imperial Physician Lin finally decided to stand still.

"I didn't expect Doctor Lin to be so skilled in medicine. You see, Brother Yuan Jun's complexion improved a lot in just one night." Jiao Jingyao praised Doctor Lin.

Doctor Lin couldn't help turning his head to look at the silver-masked man when he heard the words, and then he noticed that his complexion had improved a lot, and he was a little surprised in his heart. He knew his own medical skills. It is absolutely impossible for people to recover so quickly overnight, therefore, there is no doubt on his face.

The silver-masked man sat on the stone bench without looking sideways, thinking about what Jiao Jingyao said just now, he always felt that there was something in his words, but he couldn't explain why.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, then turned his head to look at Jiao Jingyao, and said in a calm tone: "Brother Ziheng, have you forgotten the pill I gave the princess last time when she was injured?" ?”

When the silver-masked man said this, Su Mei was shocked. It would be fine if he didn't mention the pill, but when he mentioned it, she felt a sense of being seen through.

"Pills? You mean, your body recovers so quickly after taking the same pill?"

"That's right, I have two pills on my body, I gave one to the princess, and there was just one left, so yesterday, I took the remaining pill."

Jiao Jingyao suddenly realized: "So that's the case. I never thought that a small pill would have such a miraculous effect."

Doctor Lin stood aside, listening with great interest, especially when he heard the pill, his eyes lit up, as if he wished to study it immediately, but unfortunately, it was gone.

Su Mei, who was sitting by the side, also noticed that her elder brother was different today. The seemingly caring words made people feel a little uncomfortable, and there was a sense of irony.

"By the way, Imperial Physician Lin, don't just stand there, let Brother Yuan Jun see how the injury is?" Jiao Jingyao turned to look at Imperial Physician Lin and said.

"Yes, my lord." Imperial Physician Lin nodded in response, then put the medicine box in his hand on the stone table, and raised his hand to feel his pulse.

"How is it?" Jiao Jingyao couldn't help asking concerned when he saw that Imperial Physician Lin looked a little serious.

Doctor Lin did not answer, but raised the silver-masked man's other arm and continued to feel his pulse.

After a while, Imperial Physician Lin let go of the silver-masked man's wrist, looked at Jiao Jingyao with a serious expression, and said, "Reporting to the lord, Yuan Daxia's injury is indeed much better than yesterday's in terms of pulse condition, but it's just that." He looked hesitant and didn't continue talking.

"Just what?" Jiao Jingyao asked.

Imperial Physician Lin saluted Jiao Jingyao again, and said, "My lord, the old minister needs to check the wound of Daxia Yuan before he can draw a conclusion."

"Yeah." Jiao Jingyao nodded.

To check the wound, you have to untie your clothes, but now there are not all men in this courtyard, so it is very inconvenient. Although Su Mei is the soul of modern people, she doesn't care about these things, but these old people care very much. After she realized this, she couldn't help pulling Jiao Jingyao's sleeve.

Jiao Jingyao is so smart, how could he not understand what she meant.

"If that's the case, then I would like to trouble Doctor Lin to go to the room to check Brother Yuan Jun's wounds. The king and princess are waiting in this courtyard."

"Yes, my lord."

The silver-masked man nodded slightly to Jing Yao, and then said politely to Imperial Physician Lin, "Please, Imperial Physician Lin."

Within a quarter of an hour, the two of them walked out of the room. Obviously, Doctor Lin looked much more relaxed.

"How?" Jiao Jingyao asked.

"My lord, Yuan Daxia's injury is no longer serious, he just needs to recuperate for a few days."

"Then why did you look so solemn before?"

"That's right, my lord, the old minister just now looked at the pulse and found signs of inflammation in the wound, but after checking, it wasn't inflammation, but the wound was slowly healing and new flesh was growing, and the pulse was somewhat similar That's all."

"Yeah." Jiao Jingyao nodded, and seemed relieved, after all, the silver-masked man was injured to save the princess, how could there be any reason for the injury to worsen?
"The old minister will prescribe a few more decoctions, and the physique of the great hero will be cured in a few days." Said that doctor Lin took out a pen and paper, wrote down the prescription, and handed it to the silver-masked man.

The silver-masked man took the prescription, bowed respectfully to Imperial Physician Lin, and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Lin, for saving me. Please accept my respect."

"Hero Yuan is being polite." Imperial Physician Lin said very helpfully.

"My lord, princess, if there is nothing wrong, the old minister will leave first." As he spoke, he carried the medicine box on his back, as if he was about to leave.

"Well, I've worked hard on Imperial Physician Lin today, Imperial Physician Lin, please." Jiao Jingyao said politely.

"My lord, please stay." Saying that, he retreated respectfully.

Not long after Doctor Lin left, Jiao Jingyao seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said to the silver-masked man, "Brother Yuan Jun, I forgot to tell you just now. I saw two men in black running from the mansion last night." When I came out, I chased after them to have a look, but it was a pity that they disappeared after I chased to the alley, for safety, why don't you move to my yard today, that's easy to take care of."

When the silver-masked man heard the words, his heart froze, but his face remained calm, without any expression changes, especially his eyes, without any waves.

"Thank you brother Ziheng for your kindness, but Yuan Jun can't stay in this mansion for a long time, Yuan Jun still has some business matters to deal with, so I planned to go there this afternoon to say goodbye." The silver-faced man said very calmly.

Am I thinking too much?Aren't the man in black and Brother Yuan Jun in the same group?Jiao Jingyao asked suspiciously, he didn't see any change in the silver-masked man's eyes.

"In that case, then I won't force Brother Yuan Jun, why don't we have dinner together in the front hall at noon today, and I will thank Brother Yuan Jun well." Jiao Jingyao then said with a smile, and a regretful expression appeared on his face.

"Okay, respect is worse than obedience!"

"Brother Yuan Jun will take a good rest first, and my younger sister and I will go back to prepare first." Said Jiao Jingyao got up.

"Okay, brother Ziheng, the princess is going slowly, Yuan Jun will not see you off." The silver-masked man said gently.

Both of them smiled gently, then turned and walked out of the yard.

Looking at the back of Jiao Jingyao leaving, the silver-masked man couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly.

It seems that he finally found something!
Things in the world are always unpredictable, and often inadvertently, such and such things will appear out of nowhere, thus changing the plans that have been made.

That day, when Jiao Jingyao came out of the plum garden, he received the news that the emperor Jiao Jincheng called him into the palace halfway, and he didn't come out of the palace until night fell, but at that time, the silver-masked man had already left the palace. Prince's Mansion.

Su Mei stayed in her courtyard and never left for half a step, and the silver-masked man left in a hurry after saying goodbye to the housekeeper.

When Su Mei knew that the silver-masked man had left, she didn't show any expression, she just sighed softly: "This afternoon is a feast that never ends!"

Dijiao Country, inside the post house.

The important kings and grandsons of all countries have arrived at the post house one after another, and the latest one to come is the King of Qi Shang Junyuan of Shanghuang Kingdom.

At dusk, the Shanghuang Kingdom's team drove into the post house mightily, but Shanghuang Kingdom Qi King exuded a cold aura all over his body, almost freezing the flowers and plants in the yard, not to mention It is said that those who have seen him all feel that they have returned to the cold winter for three or nine days in an instant.

From a distance, the officials who greeted the envoys from various countries came here quickly. Although he didn't know who was sitting right away, according to the people who had been received so far, only Prince Qi from Shanghuang Kingdom was left. up.

I saw Shang Junyuan wearing a navy blue python robe and sitting on the maroon lion horse, his face expressionless, but he could feel the coolness from his icy face that had not changed for thousands of years.

Song Ming, the servant of the Ministry of Rites who was a few meters away, couldn't help shivering, but Prince Yong, Jiao Jingyao, who was standing beside him, was very calm, looking at Shang Junyuan with a smile.

Walking to the front, Shang Junyuan jumped off the horse handsomely. Seeing this scene, Jiao Jingyao also took a few steps forward. Both of them are acquaintances, and no other formalities are needed.

"Prince Yong!"

"King Qi!" The two said in unison.

"Long time no see!" Jiao Jingyao then said with a smile.

"Don't come here without any problems!" Shang Junyuan also said politely.

Jiao Jingyao smiled heartily, then put on a gesture of asking, and said, "Please!"

"Please!"

It wasn't until the brigade entered the yard one after another that the Minister of Rites, Song Ming, came to his senses. He couldn't help but whispered in surprise, "This is the legendary King Qi with ruthless and iron-blooded wrists? It really is so cold to see once heard a hundred times!" Said Then he shivered again, and then followed quickly.

"Unexpectedly, but after not seeing each other for a year, the seventh prince has already been crowned king and wants to accept a concubine." Shang Junyuan said lightly, with a hint of brotherly affection mixed in his tone.

Jiao Jingyao smiled slightly and said, "That's right, one year is enough to change a lot of things, isn't it the same for the Fourth Prince?"

Jiao Jingyao's words seemed to hurt Shang Junyuan, reminding him of those unpleasant things, and his face instantly became ugly.

But the reason why Jiao Jingyao said this was also intentional. Since he already knew Su Mei's true identity, it was impossible for him to be without any disturbances in his heart. He knew the hardships that Su Mei had experienced along the way, and felt sorry for her strength and Perseverance, anyway, if it weren't for the marriage, Su Mei would not have fallen off the cliff, and it would be even more impossible for him to meet her. Thinking of this, Jiao Jingyao became more open-minded. Perhaps, he should thank Shang Junyuan.

Shang Junyuan frowned when he saw him distracted, how could he not guess Jiao Jingyao's mind, he couldn't help coughing.

Hearing the words, Jiao Jingyao realized his gaffe, and hurriedly said, "King Qi has come from a long way, and it's been a hard journey." As he said that, Jiao Jingyao clapped his hands.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the palace maid slowly walking into the hall with the wine and vegetables in her hands.

"Today's food and drink preparations were hasty, and I hope King Qi will forgive me."

"Prince Yong is too polite."

"Please take a seat."

The night is getting late, and the chirping of insects and birds gradually fades away. In a blink of an eye, autumn will soon come.It's just that there is still a green scene on the thick green tree.

Su Mei sat alone in the room, looking at the scroll in her hand seriously, looking very peaceful.It's just that her tangled eyebrows betrayed her true mood, she was worried!She gently closed the scroll in her hand, then got up and came to the courtyard, sat on the stone bench, and quietly looked at the pagoda tree in the courtyard.

The day of choosing a concubine is getting closer and closer, the eldest brother was suddenly called into the palace today, probably because of the concubine.Thinking of this, Su Mei stood up, went to the locust tree, tiptoed, pulled down the branch of the locust tree closest to her, then picked off a leaf, put it in the palm of her hand, looked at it tenderly, and then Seeing her close her eyes gently, as if she was making a wish.
