Chapter 1557: Eating and sleeping in the open
Bai Ling smiled and replied easily and naturally: "Your Royal Highness Princess Wan, the National Teacher has already issued an order, and everyone in the Holy Land must know that there is a foreign princess in our Holy Land, who is not only noble, but has also received the permission of the National Teacher to walk freely in the Holy Land. Therefore, all the palace maids and guards in the Holy Land will know who you are as soon as they see you. ”
Lin Wan nodded slightly, secretly hating in his heart, the national teacher is really powerful, and he actually mobilized all the people in the holy land to spy on me.
Bai Ling smiled and asked lightly, "Her Royal Highness Princess Wan, are you here to find Her Royal Highness Princess Ziyu?"
Lin Wan nodded and said gently, "Yes, Sister Bai Ling, where is Senior Sister?" Can you take me to meet her?"
Bai Ling nodded slightly, made a gesture of invitation to Lin Wan sideways, and walked slowly towards the depths of the palace.
Lin Wan followed behind Bai Ling, walked slowly, looked as he walked, carefully observed the terrain in the holy land, curiously pointed to a downward passage on the left, and asked, "Sister Bai Ling, where is this passage going?"
Bai Ling smiled faintly and said, "If you return to Her Royal Highness Princess Wan, this passage leads to the underground palace. Would you like to check it out?"
Lin Wan frowned and thought for a while, shook his head, and asked curiously as he continued to walk forward slowly: "Don't go today, Sister Bai Ling, what is there in the underground palace?"
Bai Ling shook his head and said meaningfully: "I don't know, except for the Holy Aunt and the palace maid who is in charge of cleaning the underground palace, no one knows. Her Royal Highness Princess Wan, although you have the permission of the national teacher, it is best not to go to a place like the underground palace. ”
Lin Wan frowned, and secretly became wary of this Bai Ling in his heart. Bai Ling asked her just now if she wanted to go and see it, but at this moment she said that it was best not to go, and she said it so mysteriously, obviously she deliberately wanted to lure Lin Wan to see it. Moreover, even if something happened to Lin Wan in the underground palace, she had already warned Lin Wan, and it had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that Lin Wan didn't continue to ask, Bai Ling didn't say anything more, and led Lin Wan to continue walking.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Wan finally came to the door of a large hall.
Bai Ling stood on the side of the palace door, bowed to Lin Wan, made a gesture of please, and said respectfully: "Her Royal Highness Princess Ziyu is inside, Her Royal Highness Princess Wan, please come in, Bai Ling still has something to do, so I won't accompany you in." ”
Lin Wan nodded, smiled faintly, and said politely, "Thank you, Sister Bai Ling." ”
Bai Ling smiled slightly, saluted Lin Wan again, then turned around and walked out quickly, as if he really had something very important to do.
Lin Wan saw that the surroundings were very quiet and the hall was empty, so he hesitated for a moment before slowly walking towards the hall with full doubts.
Walking into the main hall, I saw that the hall was empty except for a luxurious rosewood chair on the high platform. Lin Wan guessed that this should be the place where the holy aunt sent errands to the palace maids every day, and those palace maids left after receiving the errands, so naturally they didn't need seats. Just like the emperor's court, only the emperor can sit, and the ministers are all standing below.
There is a large door hole at the back of the main hall, and the beaded curtain is hung on the door, and the beaded curtain is sparse, which gently sways with the breeze, but does not make any sound.
Lin Wan gently opened the bead curtain, made a crisp sound of the bead curtain colliding, and slowly walked inward.
This is a large flower hall, and on both sides of the entrance of the flower hall are two white-clothed palace maids standing quietly, looking down as if they didn't see Lin Wan.
Lin Wan continued to move forward, and saw a middle-aged woman sitting at the round table, frowning at Lin Wan. The woman could not tell her age, she was tall and thin, and her smooth skin was at most in her thirties. However, looking at her shrewd and vicissitudes of life, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she looked like an old woman in her fifties.
The old woman looked at Lin Wan with some displeasure, obviously knowing Lin Wan's identity, but she didn't react, didn't salute, didn't speak, just looked at Lin Wan with a disgusted look, as if asking her with her eyes, why did she come here?
Lin Wan didn't see Lan Ziyu in the hall, so he knew that Bai Ling must have deceived him, although he was angry in his heart, but he didn't show it at all, smiled slightly, bowed to the old woman, and said respectfully: "Wan'er has seen the holy aunt." ”
Seeing that Lin Wan was so respectful to herself, the old woman's face softened slightly, nodded slightly, and asked lightly, "I don't know why Her Royal Highness Princess Wan is here?"
Lin Wan smiled, took a few steps forward, and said generously: "Wan'er heard from Senior Sister that the Holy Aunt has taken Wan'er's medicine and no longer coughs. Therefore, Wan'er felt that she should come again to check the pulse of the holy aunt and see if she needed to change the prescription. ”
The holy aunt was stunned for a moment, nodded suddenly in understanding, and said, "This palace said where Yu'er's elixir came from, it turned out to be given by Her Royal Highness Princess Wan." Her Royal Highness Princess Wan has excellent medical skills, and she really deserves her reputation. ”
Lin Wan smiled and said, "The Holy Aunt has won the award, and Wan'er is just lucky, she has learned some fur from a famous teacher." ”
The Holy Aunt nodded slightly, and asked curiously, "I don't know who Her Royal Highness Princess Wan studied with?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and replied truthfully: "Wan'er's master is Zhu Wuchang of the Medicine King Valley. ”
The Holy Aunt frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "This palace has never heard of Zhu Wuchang, but he has a relationship with Yao Zhongzhao, the medical saint of the Medicine King Valley. ”
Lin Wan was overjoyed when she heard this, and blurted out, "Has the Holy Aunt seen Wan'er's uncle?
The Holy Aunt smiled faintly and said, "Thirty years ago, this palace was ordered by the previous generation of Holy Aunt to go to the Medicine King Valley of the Great Sealing Kingdom to ask for medicine for the first emperor. Mr. Yao was the eldest apprentice of the Medicine King, and he was already well-known at that time, and his medical skills were very skillful. The elixir that Bengong asked for that time was also given by Mr. Yao, and thanks to Mr. Yao, Bengong was able to successfully complete the task. As he spoke, he sighed and said, "At that time, Bengong and Mr. Yao were still very young, and now they are both old, if they say goodbye, I am afraid they will no longer be recognized." ”
Lin Wanyan smiled and said: "The appearance of the Holy Aunt is elegant and good, it will definitely be impressive, not to mention, the Holy Aunt looks only in her twenties now, if the master sees it, he will definitely be able to recognize it." It's just that Uncle Shi has been practicing medicine everywhere over the years, often sleeping in the open air, suffering a lot, and looking a lot older, I'm afraid the holy aunt won't recognize it. ”
The holy aunt frowned slightly, shook her head, and sighed: "Princess Wan, don't lie to this palace, every day when you look in the mirror, you can see that the white hair on your head and the wrinkles on your face are getting more and more, where is she still in her twenties?"
