Medical concubine in power

Chapter 299 Pharmaceuticals
In the dark night, snowflakes are falling from the sky again.In the imperial palace, the lights in the Imperial Study Room and Riming Palace had been turned off, and they fell into silence. Only Xie Muyan's pharmacy in Fengqi Palace was still brightly lit.

The roof of the pharmacy had already accumulated a thin layer of white snow. When Xinran woke up, she suddenly saw a little candlelight flickering outside her room.The vigilance in her heart made her immediately put on a dress and stand up, walking towards the pharmacy.

Xie Muyan's familiar figure was reflected on the window paper under the light of the candle.Xinran's heart trembled slightly, she pushed the door quietly and went in, only to see Xie Muyan standing in front of the long table, grinding the powder in her hands rhythmically, making a crisp sound.

The cold wind poured into the pharmacy through a crack in the door opened by Xin Ran, causing Xie Muyan to cough a few times in a low voice.She turned her head towards the door, and after seeing that the person who opened the door was Xinran, she turned her head away with confidence, added some herbs to the mortar, and ground them carefully.

"Master, it's late at night, go to bed early."

Xin Ran frowned.She took two steps forward and held Xie Muyan's cold little hand.

However, Xie Muyan acted as if she hadn't heard what she said at all, and took her hand away from the back of her hand, and continued to grind the medicine with full concentration, while chanting words in her mouth, which sounded like she was calculating the dose of the medicine.

"Master, I'll help you..." Xie Muyan's wind and cold were not very good.Now that she hasn't had a good rest, even in the warm candlelight, she can't hide her pale face.Xinran felt distressed for a while, seeing that Xie Muyan seemed reluctant to put down the mortar in her hand, so she could only talk in her ear in a negotiating tone.

Hearing this, Xie Muyan, who had been maintaining a numb movement, turned around and opened her mouth lightly.

"Xinran, go to the medicine garden and help me get the herb I showed you the day before yesterday."

There was a little hoarseness in her voice.Xinran has no doubt that if Xie Muyan continues like this, the typhoid fever will become more serious by dawn.However, seeing Xie Muyan's stubborn appearance at this moment, she could only sigh softly, taking advantage of the moment Xie Muyan put all her attention on the herb in her hand, she took a few steps forward secretly, A palm hit Xie Muyan on the back of the neck without lightness or heavyness.

She hugged Xie Muyan's falling body, gently covered Xie Muyan's body with the clothes she was wearing, and carried her into the bedroom.

And this night, Mu Jiayu was also lying on his bed, tossing and turning, Xie Muyan's stubborn face would appear in his mind, and then, Zhang Buli and Zhang Duoya's similar weak and wronged eyes seemed to always be The face glistening with tears gradually emerged, and finally it was tightly intertwined with Xie Muyan's face.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed again, and it became Xie Muyan's disappointed eyes looking at him. Slowly, this eyes turned into despair, and what finally appeared in front of his eyes was Xie Muyan's resolute back , and a vast expanse of snow...

He woke up suddenly, and after looking back for a long time in the dark surroundings, he was sure that this was just a nightmare.He rubbed his temples habitually, and slowly raised a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.Xie Muyan's desperate eyes, as well as the back view of turning away, are still lingering in his mind.

He got out of bed and looked in the direction of Fengqi Palace.There was always darkness in front of his eyes, but it made him feel extremely melancholy inexplicably.

"Your Majesty, the night is getting dark, what do you want to order?"

After he stood there for a while, he could only hear Wan Jing's voice, which suddenly rang in his ears.In the long and silent night, there was such a loyal bodyguard accompanying him, which made Mu Jiayu feel a little warm.

"Wanjing." He said in a hoarse voice, "You were poisoned by Mu Yan just today, didn't you have been told to go to rest a long time ago?"

"It is the duty of the minister to protect the emperor's safety."

Wan Jing was not at all proud of Mu Jiayu's favor for him.In the twelfth lunar month of winter, he stood outside Mu Jiayu's bedroom, talking with Mu Jiayu only through the door.Although the words were still as cold as ever, Mu Jiayu still felt a little more comfortable in his heart.

"Wan Jing, I'm asking you." After hesitating for a moment, Mu Jiayu continued to speak, and there was also a rare sense of anxiety in his voice, "Do you think, for Mu Yan..."

Speaking of this, Mu Jiayu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.He paused slightly, and quickly changed the direction of his words, "Tell me, will Mu Yan hate me for what happened today?"

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, and his heart suddenly beat violently uncontrollably.The onlookers know, he still understands this truth.While waiting for Wanjing's answer, he closed his eyes tightly, for fear that Wanjing would say an answer that made him feel desperate.

"The queen empress is a great help to help you ascend the throne, the emperor; and the imperial concubine, although she is a woman of a foreign race, she has left blood for the emperor after all. Both empresses have contributed a lot."

Wan Jing pondered for a while, and finally said an answer that no one would offend.However, from his words, it is still obvious which side he leans towards.

He emphasized that it was Xie Muyan who stood behind Mu Jiayu and helped him become an emperor successfully.Although it is said that with Mu Jiayu's wrist, it will be a matter of time to sit on the throne, but with the help of Xie Muyan, this process has been significantly shortened.At the same time, he was also reminding Mu Jiayu that Zhang Duoya was not from the Central Plains.

In other words, no matter how much contribution such a foreign woman has made, she must not be allowed to sit on the queen's position.And the prince she gave birth to was Zhang Buli, a person with foreign blood, not to mention the qualification to sit on the throne.What's more, the surname used by King Li today is still the surname of his mother's clan...

"Forget it, I understand. You go to rest too." There was a moment of silence between the two.After about half a stick of incense, Mu Jiayu made a sound, breaking the silence in the darkness.

He forced himself to resist the waves of fatigue coming from his body, and sat blankly on the edge of the bed, silently recalling the past when he was with Xie Muyan.

In fact, his heart had always been on Xie Muyan's side, but the guilt he felt towards Zhang Duoya's mother and son affected his actions.Therefore, Wanjing's introverted words made it easy for him to hear the consciousness contained in them.

He lay down on the bed again, and slowly made a decision in his heart...

Snowflakes fell all night, and when the next morning came, the entire palace was covered in snow.It wasn't until the sun was high that Xie Muyan slowly opened her eyes in the dazzling white light refracted by the snow.

The moment she sat up from the bed, she felt a tickle in her throat.She coughed a few times in a low voice, looked around a few times, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, as if she was wondering why she suddenly appeared here.

No matter how low the coughing sound was, it was still heard clearly by Xinran.She pushed the door open and entered, as if she had prepared the toiletries in her hands, she walked to Xie Muyan and stood still.

"Just now, the emperor came here once after he went to court. I said you were still resting, so he went back."

While helping Xie Muyan to wash up, Xinran spoke softly.Xie Muyan was holding a towel to wipe her face for a moment, and then there was a mocking smile on her face.

"What did he come to my Fengqi Palace? Shouldn't he go to Riming Palace for a longer walk? After all, Concubine Zhang was beaten twenty times by me. Or should I say that Concubine Zhang was so severely beaten by me that she was bedridden?" Excuse me, he just came to me to ask for medicine to put on the wound?"

Throwing the towel into the washbasin, Xie Muyan stood up without waiting for Xinran's answer, took the comb in Xinran's hand, combed her hair randomly a few times, and then Go to your pharmacy.

After she walked a few steps, as if she suddenly remembered something, a cold voice sounded from her mouth, "What are you still standing here for? Didn't I ask you to bring that herb over last night?" Why? How did you bring me to bed?"

Xinran was slightly taken aback by her words.She lowered her head and smiled bitterly.Today's Xie Muyan seemed to be a different person suddenly.Thinking about what Mu Jiayu did yesterday, the blow to her was really too great.

She thought so in her heart, but there was no pause in the movements of her feet.In just a moment, she obediently picked off the herb and sent it to Xie Muyan.

"Master, this herb doesn't seem to be fully grown yet. The effect of this medicine may be..." Xinran watched Xie Muyan skillfully grind the herb into powder and mix it with other medicinal materials. She was about to ask Xie Muyan Will the efficacy of the medicine decrease, but was quickly interrupted by Xie Muyan's voice.

"The effect of the medicine is naturally not as good as the mature one, but if you don't do it now, it will be too late."

This herb was the herb that Liu Yi had brought from other places a while ago that could anesthetize people's nerves. It would have matured after such a winter.But now, she really can't wait any longer...

Xinran didn't know what Xie Muyan's words meant, but after she took a look at Xie Muyan's expression of unwillingness to say more, she had no choice but to leave the pharmacy with her head down. among.

In the pharmacy, Xie Muyan was the only one left.She looked at the half-finished medicine in her hand, her pale lips tightly pursed.
