Dao Yan entered the main hall and first asked the palace people about Ma Xiuying's physical condition.

In charge of the affairs of the palace today is Zijuan, a woman who has become silent after the death of two companions in succession, and staggered at the door as if thinking about something. Because Xun Ying warned the people in the palace to respect Dao Yan, she saw Dao Yan and hurriedly saluted, and said: "The queen mother has been awake for about an hour, and she is in a good state of mind, and she has a conversation with the emperor, the prince, and the two princes. ”

As soon as Dao Yan heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was still inside, he had the intention to avoid it, and said: "Please ask the maid to tell the queen mother, the poor monk is going to do the evening class now, come over later to explain the treatment plan, and the lady remember to let the queen take medicine on time." ”

He was just about to say goodbye, but Zhao Cheng, who had been secretly paying attention to the movements of Kunning Palace, saw the movement here and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Master Daoyan is here." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Xuan him in." ”

Dao Yan came in to meet Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying in turn.

Ma Xiuying saw that he was calm and calm, and estimated that things were going relatively smoothly on Shen Wansan's side, so she put her mind at ease and said, "Thank you, master, for running around looking for medicinal materials for the palace." ”

There was a hint of concern and reproach in Dao Yan's tone, "The matter of the poor monk looking for medicinal materials is not enough to worry about, but the queen must relax her mood and recuperate her body." If the patient does not cooperate with the doctor's treatment, even if the Holy Doctor Hua Tuo comes, he will be helpless. ”

Ma Xiuying was ashamed and said: "This palace remembers the master's words, and will follow the doctor's instructions in the future." ”

The two of them have known each other for many years, and naturally they are not as blunt and polite as strangers. In fact, most of the doctors instructed the patients like this, and even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hear anything wrong, but Zhao Cheng felt that the tone of the two was a little casual, and his eyes secretly glanced over.

Dao Yan has been a little wary of Zhao Cheng since he noticed Zhao Cheng's hostility towards him, and when he saw Zhao Cheng's ill-intentioned eyes, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "The poor monk changed his itinerary without authorization, and did not report to the emperor in time, asking the emperor to forgive his sins." ”

"It's okay, there is a reason for it, and I won't blame you. Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously: "The iron tree medicinal herb you told Zhao Cheng is really wonderful, how can you easily find flowers and fruits that have only been available for thousands of years?"

"Tieshu is indeed a treasure all over his body, and it has a certain effect on treating the queen's visceral stasis, cough and hemoptysis. However, the iron tree does not bloom for thousands of years. Just like the southern orange and the northern orange, the iron tree will bloom and bear fruit in the south, but rarely in the north. Dao Yan said the effect of the iron tree again, he didn't dare to hide it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, this kind of thing Zhu Yuanzhang can be clear as long as he casually sends someone to investigate.

"I see. Zhu Yuanzhang was inevitably a little disappointed, it turned out that the flowering of the iron tree was not a strange phenomenon in people's mouths, but just a mutation of the same species due to different environmental conditions. In this way, this medicinal material is not necessarily very precious, can it stop Ma Xiuying's condition from deteriorating?

Ma Xiuying saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was not worried, so she said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is a little tired. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately distracted by this sentence, "Then you will rest early after drinking the medicine, and I will also go to deal with government affairs." ”

Ma Xiuying advised: "The emperor remembers to be busy after the meal, don't work too hard." ”

"The poor monk wants to go to the evening class, so he won't disturb the queen's mother. Dao Yan followed and said goodbye, Zhu Yuanzhang was gone, it was not appropriate for him to stay here as an outsider.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang was in front of her, Ma Xiuying didn't want to say anything, so she nodded and agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook Ma Xiuying's hand, "Take care of your illness, don't think nonsense, I'll come to see you when I'm free." He felt that Ma Xiuying's fingers were cold, so he frowned and instructed Dao Yan: "Master check the queen's body again, I feel that the queen's qi and blood are still at a loss." ”

With Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Dao Yan stayed in Kunning Palace and sent Zhu Yuanzhang away with everyone.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang left, the atmosphere in the hall became relaxed, and the palace people who didn't dare to leave the atmosphere dared to breathe freely, and many people who hadn't eaten dinner had the courage to ask Xun Ying for instructions.

Xun Ying really thought that Ma Xiuying's illness could be completely cured, so he was very talkative, agreed to their request with a smile, and took out ten taels of silver out of his own pocket to ask the cook to cook some delicious food alone.

Sending away these excited palace people, Xun Ying and Dao Yan entered the inner room. Ma Xiuying leaned on the head of the bed, with a smile on her face, looking at them with interest, and she didn't look tired at all.

Xun Ying was pleasantly surprised: "Master, are you okay?"

Ma Xiuying nodded, "I feel much better." You see, I didn't cough much. ”

Dao Yan knew that Ma Xiuying's blood in her lungs could not be completely removed, but from her heart, Ma Xiuying was now energetic, which showed that she was in a good mood, at least her condition was temporarily controlled, and she said happily: "If the queen mother keeps this state, she will soon be able to get out of bed and walk around." ”

Ma Xiuying lay on the bed so that her bones were about to fall apart, and immediately said, "I think I can get out of bed now." As he spoke, he asked Xun Ying to help her up.

Dao Yan persuaded: "You haven't eaten well these days, how can you have the strength to walk, delay for two more days, and choose a day with good weather to walk in the garden." ”

In order to divert Ma Xiuying's attention, Xun Ying said: "Master, tell us what happened this time, the master is worried about you, and pray every day that you can return safely." ”

Ma Xiuying grabbed the white and said, "Aren't you worried about Mu Longsheng?"

Dao Yan looked away, bowed his head and folded his head, "Thank you for the queen's mother." Please let the poor monk check your body first. ”

"Let's talk about it first. Ma Xiuying hid her hands in the quilt and didn't diagnose Dao Yan's pulse, she didn't realize that she would always be coquettish and willful in front of Dao Yan unconsciously.

"Master, the slave maid will pour a cup of tea for the master, and by the way, see if the medicine is ready. Xun Ying retired, and she felt that she should give the two of them a little space to be alone.

Ma Xiuying has been married to Zhu Yuanzhang for decades, Xunying has never seen Ma Xiuying indulge and coquettish in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, if it weren't for the scene she saw today, she would have thought that Ma Xiuying herself was a person with a cold personality. It turns out that Ma Xiuying can also be coquettish and willful like other women, but the person who can make Ma Xiuying indulge arbitrarily is not Zhu Yuanzhang.

Xun Ying's heart was inexplicably sour, feeling that these two people were quite pitiful, I don't know what happened back then, they missed each other, one was depressed, the other never married, one was worried about the palace, and the other was running around outside. No matter who is in trouble, the other party will always help regardless of their own safety. This feeling is touching, but it is also regrettable. Because now one is a queen and the other is a monk, even if he cares about each other in his heart, he can't say it, even if the two are close at hand, they have to maintain a world-like distance.
