Xun Ying's departure made the room quiet for a moment, Ma Xiuying's face was hot unconsciously, and she quietly shrank into the quilt, not wanting Dao Yan to see her embarrassment.

Dao Yan coaxed good-naturedly: "What has happened will not change no matter what, and what has not happened yet will make people more worried." The poor monk remembered the queen's illness, and if he didn't check the queen's phoenix body first, the poor monk couldn't feel at ease. ”

Looking at those caring eyes, Ma Xiuying no longer insisted, and silently stretched out her right hand. The cold fingertips touched the gentle skin and she shuddered, and she saw a few new scars on those hands, and tears suddenly rolled out.

Dao Yan exclaimed: "But what's uncomfortable?" ”

"Nope." Ma Xiuying looked away and saw that the two shadows reflected on the wall were so intimate, and her tears became more and more surging. Dao Yan didn't have to enter the palace, so he came here in order to take care of her. People are particularly fragile when they are sick, and thinking of Daoyan's silent protection over the years, she is moved and guilty in her heart.

Dao Yan frowned, with a hint of sternness in his tone, "Queen Mother, if you keep being depressed and sad like this, it will only aggravate your condition. ”

"Oh." Ma Xiuying sniffed, glared at him with red eyes, and begged in a low voice: "Can you not call me the queen mother when no one is around, and treat me as an ordinary patient?" ”

Dao Yan said helplessly: "You are originally a patient of the poor monk, I hope you can cooperate with the poor monk's treatment." ”

Ma Xiuying heard the loosening in his tone, and was a little proud, wiped away her tears three times and twice, and urged: "I have cooperated with you to see a doctor, can you tell me how you rescued Shen Wansan's family?" ”

Dao Yan left the bedside, sat on the chair and was silent, he should say goodbye after seeing Ma Xiuying, but he couldn't bear to see Ma Xiuying's disappointed eyes, and he didn't know where to stay for a while.

After all, Dao Yan is a foreign man, Xun Ying didn't dare to let these two people spend too much time alone, came in with a plate, saw that the two deliberately kept a distance, and his heart was sour, and said, "Master Dao Yan hasn't had dinner yet, right?" The slave maid has prepared hot tea and pastries for you. Master, would you like to eat something too? ”

Ma Xiuying looked at the pastry in front of Dao Yan, suddenly felt hungry, and ordered, "Fetch me a piece of that pastry." ”

Xun Ying went to get the pastry and whispered to Dao Yan: "Master, eat quickly, the master has an appetite when she sees you eating, and she hasn't eaten well for several days." ”

Dao Yan twisted the pastry in embarrassment, saw Ma Xiuying looking at him without blinking, and put the pastry into his mouth. In this way, Dao Yan ate a piece, Ma Xiuying ate a piece, Dao Yan didn't eat it, and Ma Xiuying immediately shouted that she couldn't eat it. Dao Yan was helpless and happy, no matter what, it was a good phenomenon that Ma Xiuying had an appetite to eat.

A plate of pastries was killed by the two, and Dao Yan resolutely took his leave.

Ma Xiuying complained in frustration: "You haven't talked about Shen Wansan and them." ”

"It's time for the queen to rest, and tomorrow the poor monk will come back to tell you in detail." Dao Yan gently coaxed his patient, he saw that Ma Xiuying was already a little physically exhausted, and besides, it was dark, even if he was a monk, he needed to avoid suspicion.

How could Ma Xiuying not understand this truth, and turned her head gloomily and closed her eyes.

After Xunying sent Daoyan out of the door to turn around, she found that Ma Xiuying was actually asleep, she quietly tucked the quilt for Ma Xiuying, and silently prayed that Ma Xiuying would get better soon.

Ma Xiuying slept relatively peacefully this night, except for a few occasional coughs, she didn't wake up with a cough as before. Xun Ying became more and more convinced that Dao Yan was the hope of healing Ma Xiu.

The next day, Ma Xiuying was woken up by the noise outside the house and asked Xunying what was wrong.

Xun Ying angrily said, "It's not because you asked Concubine Li to assist Concubine Cheng Mu in taking care of the harem. Hmph, these women don't take you seriously when they see you sick, and they come to make noise when they know you need to rest. ”

It turned out that during Ma Xiuying's illness, she handed over all the affairs of the harem to Chengmu Guifei Sun to take care of. Sun has always been conscientious and conscientious. But because she had to deal with everything personally, she was too tired and sick, so Ma Xiuying arranged for Li Guihua to assist her in taking care of the harem.

Now some of the concubines who were originally higher than Li Guihua were not convinced, especially Guo Ninglian, she was born as Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, she was a little uncomfortable before Ma Xiuying promoted Sun to take care of the harem, this time Ma Xiuying was sick, Sun was sick, Guo Hui died again, she thought about how it should be her turn to be in charge of the harem, who knew that Ma Xiuying actually promoted Li Guihua. She came to see Ma Xiuying several times and was sent away by Xunying on the grounds that the queen was recuperating, and in the past two days, she heard that Dao Yan came back to treat Ma Xiuying, so she was cheeky to disturb Ma Xiuying again.

She only felt that Ma Xiuying was unfair and swept her face, but she didn't think about the mistakes she had made when she was fighting for power with Guo Hui before, Ma Xiuying had mentioned her several times, but she didn't know how to restrain her, of course Ma Xiuying wanted to suppress her to avoid a second Guo Hui. Sun and Li Guihua are both people who have been loyal to Ma Xiuying very early, and these two have always been relatively low-key and observant, so Ma Xiuying naturally chooses subordinates who are loyal to him and have no ambitions.

After listening to Xun Ying's proclamation, Ma Xiuying said lightly: "Go to the emperor to ask for the holy decree, and say that the palace thinks that Concubine Li is virtuous and dignified, and has good morals, so she can be promoted to a virtuous concubine and assist Concubine Cheng Mu in taking charge of the six palaces." ”

Xun Ying was stunned, and quickly took the order and left. If Li Guihua is named a virtuous concubine, her status will be higher than Guo Ninglian, and Guo Ninglian will dare to say that Li Guihua is not guilty of the following crimes, and at the same time, Li Guihua will be more justified in taking care of the harem.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to Ma Xiuying's request, and the holy decree was immediately promulgated, and Li Guihua was canonized as a virtuous concubine on the same day.

This slap was really loud, Guo Ninglian immediately hid her face and left Kunning Palace after hearing the news, and the concubines in the harem also stopped suddenly, for fear that if she continued to make trouble, she would make a few more holy decrees.

Xun Ying praised triumphantly: "The master is so powerful, a holy decree will make them honest." ”

"Has Master Dao Yan ever been here?" Ma Xiuying raised her eyes and looked around, the mood of the harem woman felt that she didn't care at all, and she didn't have time to pay attention to these people, and let Zhu Yuanzhang give the decree just to clean her ears.

Xun Ying replied, "Master forgot that Master Dao Yan wants to do a ritual for you to get rid of the disease?" It may only be in the afternoon. ”

Ma Xiuying then remembered that Xun Ying told her about this yesterday, and she blamed Xun Ying for not letting Dao Yan work too hard, and said that she didn't believe in this at all in her heart, and felt that it was a waste of time to do things. But since Dao Yan has already started to do things, she can't send someone to stop it now, so she has to wait patiently.
