Chapter Thirty-Nine
In the middle of the night, Su Huihui climbed down from the bed to find water to drink, the cold porcelain cup made the palm of her hand hot down a little, she tested the temperature of her forehead with her wrist, and sure enough, it was a fever.
The next morning, she couldn't get up in the quilt, Ruixiang was sweating profusely, Su Huihui closed her eyes and touched her lower pulse, hugged Mrs. Zhu and turned over, and asked her to boil the medicine according to the prescription on the table.
Ruixiang brought the thick medicinal juice and said, "The girl came back yesterday not too late, how can she be drenched like that, it is difficult that there is no umbrella in the palace!"
Su warmed up and had a splitting headache, took a deep breath and poured all the medicine, and then found that he had overestimated the dullness of taste. She was so bitter by the prescription she prescribed that her face wrinkled, and asked Ruixiang to scoop some honey water to remove the taste, and the maid's small mouth chattered:
"The girl had the strength to write a prescription before going to bed yesterday, but she didn't have the strength to call me to decoction for you......! Lie down, don't get cold again, just sweat all over. After an hour for lunch, I'll do whatever the girl wants to eat. ”
Su Huihui didn't answer her, and shrank in the tent groggily, but he couldn't sleep.
Yesterday's events were spinning in my mind, the assassin who infiltrated the palace to steal medicine, the long-planned Liang State secret guard, the high-duty pro-army who was waiting for the rabbit, and the subordinates who collectively wanted to drag her into the water. The body after the fever was too lazy to move, but her mind was still running, she held the quilt and counted her fingers one by one, Su Huan's life was in danger, and Yuwen's wolf ambition was in the north...... She had thought that these names would no longer appear directly in her ears, but just yesterday, she had indeed been swept up in them.
Under the watchful eye of a group of people, he was swept into a pool of troubled waters in Liang State.
The shape of the north side became like this, and she involuntarily chose to push the boat with the tide between standing by and standing up, thinking that she was acting at the opportunity, but it took the whole night to come to a conclusion that she did not regret.
Who really doesn't care about the injuries she has suffered? She can't be an idler like her grandmother and Master said. Although Mingdu is far away from thousands of rivers and mountains, the blood relationship is still a constant bond, but it is a pity that she has just realized this.
Su warmed up and turned over and over, and his last thoughts were all fixed on the moment when the arrogant man leaned over. She saw that his eyes were as black as a midnight without stars and moons, and he didn't deliberately look at people with a sharp edge, but he was in a trance like a glacier and snowfield.
He seemed to smile as he bent over, and as he lifted her cloak, he seemed pleased to see her nervous.
Sheng Yunyi re-tied the medicine bag that had been pulled off by the assassin for her, and after the warning, he openly covered up her crime of losing several heads, so as to announce that her future path would be much smoother, but why should she be involved with the eldest princess? is it a pretext to show that she is valued?
Su Huihui went back and forth several times in his heart, and finally fell asleep.
She dreamed of getting out of the carriage when she was a child and stepping on the bluestone road in front of the palace, and the sad memory of staying in the palace for a long time.
They thought she probably couldn't even remember, but she remembered it early and remembered it clearly. She remembered her father's generous enough to carry her shoulders and her mother's gentle whispers in the Western Night dialect.
For such a long time, she felt that she had almost forgotten about it, and it turned out that it was just an illusion.
After lunch, someone came to the pharmacy, Su Hui warmed the door and thanked the guests, only asked the soap in the official house to give a few packets of potions prepared in the concierge to the little guy waiting outside the door, and he dug the rock sugar pear with a spoon in a daze, and handed it to his nose absentmindedly several times.
The seven-day rest was consumed by her for three days, and on the fourth day she was able to walk around, but her nasal voice was a little heavy, and her overthinking head was still uncomfortable. In the afternoon, she walked in the garden full of bamboo cultivation to eat, and Ruixiang in the front yard ran over to say that someone in the palace had come to pass the decree and asked her to rush to the palace immediately.
The cool breeze blowing in her face was very refreshing, and the lieutenant who led the horse immediately bowed down when she saw her, Su Hui retreated silently, did not ask anything, and got into the carriage with the medicine box.
Three days of calm and calm have already given her enough face, and after the play in front of the person is finished, it is time to ask the person to work later.
The official residence is very close to the palace gate, she handed over the sign with the inner attendant, and slowly walked all the way into the side gate of the palace, clear and lonely along the way, there are not even a few withered yellow leaves, and the palace people who sprinkled and swept moved very quickly, as if they wanted to peel off a layer of late autumn chill from the surface, leaving only the lush green pine and cypress beside the road.
The waiter cautiously bowed his head to lead the way, and Su Huihui was calmer than him, or he didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, and he didn't move his mouth once for half a mile.
The carved beams flashed in front of her eyes, and she didn't know the way, but she also found that this was not the way to the duty center or the current dormitory, but to the west.
The waiter was puzzled in his heart, he used to bring people to the palace, and others took out a few taels of silver to ask this and that, and he couldn't wait to make the nobles' minds clear, for fear of offending him, this Lord Su made him useless, and those who didn't know thought that she was entering the palace on an errand like a normal day.
"Lord Su, in front of you is the Liuyu Palace of the eldest princess Zhaoyi, and Your Majesty asked you to go and ask for the princess's pulse. Previously, the villain was ordered by the Holy Order, and did not tell the court where to go, but now he is not going to accompany the adult. ”
Su Huihui listened to the eunuch's unapologetic polite words, nodded lightly, and said "there is labor" like gold, and still didn't ask anything about the holy will.
The condescending tone of the waiter suddenly became humble: "The villain will go back to his life, and Master Su will follow the grandmother who came out to pick you up." ”
There was wind under his feet, as if he couldn't stay for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, there was no shadow. Su Huihui stood alone on the steps, although his eyelids were heavy, he couldn't help but look at this Flowing Jade Palace carefully.
The main hall is decorated with a brick and a tile are extremely exquisite, the flying pavilion is Liudan, the vermilion lacquer is inlaid with gold, the pool in front of the hall is not big, there are a few flowers that are crying in the blue waves. If you want to come to the Qi Palace, there is a hot spring vein, and the hot spring water is introduced in the palace, so that you are qualified to raise flowers that have passed the season. When Su Huihui didn't come to Fanjing, he heard that Qi Guoding had made great efforts to build a palace, and he had been an official for half a month, so he was able to take a good look at the luxurious scene in people's mouths today.
Xiyin, the palace maid in charge, stood at the gate of the palace and watched Xiao Huangmen walk away, and said gently: "Lord Su, hurry up, the princess has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Even though Su Huihui had a thousand guesses, he also pressed his heart and said: "It is the sin of the lower officials to make His Highness wait for a long time." ”
Xiyin took her into the outer hall to report by herself, and soon a crisp call sounded inside: "It's the sister of the Tai Hospital! Mama hurry up and let her in, the imperial brother asked me to wait!"
The child's voice was as delicate as the willow buds that had just been drawn out in early spring, and Su Huihui suddenly relieved his heart. The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she walked into the warm pavilion with a body of dew.
The warm pavilion is filled with the elegant fragrance of lotus flowers, and it is presumable that the palace people picked some of the flowers in the pond and burned them in the incense tube. In this season, put the incense into the incense, and it smells cold, but it may be because there is a hot spring underground, not only the palace people wear less, but even the little princess looks like she is not afraid of the cold.
Behind the crystal curtain is a few cases that are not high, and there is a small embroidery pier behind the case, on which there is a small person standing on the table, writing and drawing. The child's body was full of heat, the goose-yellow shirt was half-cuffed, the pink and white round arms were all exposed, and a few drops of jet-black ink were splashed.
Xiyin said with a solemn face: "Your Highness can't meet guests like this, what did you just say to the slave maid? Quickly put down your sleeves!"
Chu Ai pouted and pulled her sleeves by herself, no one came to help her, so she put them one by one, holding a pen with a split ink in her right hand, and her sleeves soon became miserable.
Xiyin rubbed her temples and sighed, Your Majesty has never allowed the little princess to order others to do such trivial things, they are in a hurry just looking at it, and sometimes they can't help but help, but His Royal Highness is not happy.
Chu Wei got her clothes and jumped off the embroidery pier with the edge of the case, and the bookcase was pushed by her and squeaked and shifted by half a minute, and the palace maid quickly returned to its original place.
Su Huihui stood at the curtain and didn't salute yet, when she saw that the little girl who was so tender that she could pinch out the water ran to her in three or two steps, and wiped half of her skirt with ink.
She squatted down and touched the child's head, and said to Xiyin: "Xiaguan caught a cold the day before yesterday, His Royal Highness has to stay away, otherwise he will be sick." ”
Xiyin showed a difficult expression: "Can Master Su think of a way?" His Highness can't pull it away when he sees the person who meets his eyes. ”
Su Huihui is not very good at dealing with children, and said: "Your Highness sit behind the table, and the lower official will check the pulse for His Highness." ”
Chu Wei rubbed her face with her silk skirt, pulled the jade pendant tied on her belt and shook it, just ignored her.
"Xiaguan to see if the princess has gained weight recently, okay?"
Chu Hao squinted his big black eyes, and the old god said in the ground: "Brother said that Yunyun should be fatter, sister, don't look at me like this." ”
Su Huihui let her play with the jade pendant and spoil her skirt, and after thinking for a while, she said in a seductive tone: "Is Yunyun writing?
Chu Wei's eyes lit up, and he dragged her belt to the back of several cases, and shoved the pen thrown on the inkstone into her hand:
"Can my sister write this for me...... This, and that! Very few, all at once!"
She flipped out the book behind the pen stand, found a few pages in a corner, pointed to the circled words and verses, and looked at Su Hui pleadingly, her eyes were exactly the same as the deer in the mountains and forests.
Su warmed his hand and grabbed the pen stiffly, and said softly as much as he could: "Since you can finish writing it in one go, Your Highness has to write it yourself, otherwise Your Majesty will be angry." ”
Chu Wei glanced at her, "Sister, don't talk to the imperial brother." A chubby little hand pressed her fingers to prevent her from letting go of the barrel.
Su Huihui couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't write or not, so he had to say: "Sister first help His Royal Highness write a few sentences, and then His Royal Highness promises his sister to sit down, is this okay? ”
She finally understood where Ling Yang's complaint came from, he was the only imperial doctor in the small square vein, and he had to be annoyed by the first two big. Now she has the same disease as him, and her superiors and subordinates will take care of each other in the future, which is really harmonious.
Chu Wei looked at her with blank eyes, shook his sore arm, and sat down on the bamboo chair that Xiyin had just replaced. On the side, Xiyin nodded invisibly, indicating that this method was feasible.
Su Hui picked up the pen and tried the ink on the half-written moire paper. This piece of paper has been drawn out of an extremely long ink blot, it must not be able to read, what she writes on it should not hinder, anyway, the little princess has to make a difference, most of them have to write a new one...... If she knew she couldn't take it.
"Sister sit!"
Chu Wei got a helper, and diligently dragged the embroidery pier she had stepped on behind Su Hui, and pulled her clothes hard to make her sit down.
Su Huihui almost bounced up when he hit the stool, this embroidery pier was too cold! But when he saw the little princess's smiling and satisfied expression, it was difficult to refuse, so he could only stick to the porcelain surface.
The cool air in the embroidery pier bubbled up slightly, seeping into the muscles and bones from the surface of the hollow, and Su Hui noticed that something was wrong in an instant. She couldn't stand the cold like an adult, how could a child stand on it for so long......?
She decided to take a closer look at the little princess's body later.
Mingshui Yuan fell into the woods Xiao Xiao, the birds and birds called the sunny, and Fu Yu led the inner servants to the pavilion to resume their lives.
The sunlight that first appeared in the clouds gilded the moon-white robes of the people in the pavilion with a layer of light gold, and the posture became more and more upright, and the black hair was like sandalwood.
The chamberlain bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the little one took Master Su into the palace according to your wishes, and the adults didn't ask all the way, and his expression was still calm." ”
Fu Yu remembered something again: "Did the court judge give you money?"
The waiter panicked: "The little one doesn't dare, and Master Su really doesn't have this mind." After getting Fu Duzhi's eyes, he quickly left Mingshui Garden.
Sheng Yunyi looked at a pool of clear blue water and said slowly: "She pretends to be handy." I don't know ......."
Fu Yu hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty is going to the Liuyu Palace? ”
Sheng Yunyi was silent, and walked out of the pavilion towards the west.
The Liuyu Palace was lively at this time, the palace maid served good tea, Su Huihui finally touched the child's wrist with his left hand, and his right hand was stared at uncomfortably for a while.
Chu Wei watched her write intently, stretched her neck and praised one or two sentences from time to time: "My sister's handwriting is so beautiful, don't copy this, I've copied it dozens of times...... Sister write something else, the royal brother punished me for writing 30 times last time, my hand hurts. And what kind of Lengyan Sutra, I can't even recognize the whole word......"
Su Huihui wanted to tell her that he hadn't written well for a long time, and only paid a little attention to the speed of writing after the pharmacy selected a doctor. She couldn't help but recall that at such an age as this child, the master also asked her to copy his handwriting very strictly, completely erase the pen strokes stained in the palace, first learn the li, and then learn the Kai, so that she was broken by Sheng Yunyi in the Hou Mansion that day.
The pavilion is very well lit, and occasionally when you look up, you can see a round of sun shining behind the leafy trees. The flower window is slightly open, the wind is whispering, the bottom of the white cup is pressed against the smooth and plain black of the sandalwood, the sound of the water leak is hidden in the melodious birdsong, and no one notices that the shadow of the sun in the corner of the wall moves quickly.
Su Huihui said in a low voice while writing: "Your Majesty is for the good of the princess." Well...... The princess is still young, and the characters will become more and more beautiful in the future, so that the princess is so cute. ”
Her voice was interspersed with the fragrance of lotus flowers, and her breathing gradually stabilized, and her right hand was obediently placed on the edge of the paperweight, with three white fingers on it.
At some point, the child's posture of looking up suddenly relaxed, his watery eyes glanced out of the curtain, pretending to continue reading unconsciously, and after a while, he withdrew his right hand from the case with a weak heart.
Su Huihui stopped his pen, raised his eyes slightly, and said, "What's wrong?"
The four palace maids on the ground knelt in a row in front of the beaded curtain, and Chu Wei shrank behind her.
Sheng Yunyi stepped on the shadow and stood quietly outside the curtain.
Chu Hao pressed her leg tightly and was uneasy: "Sister help me, my brother is going to punish Yunyun!"
Xiyin knew that His Majesty must have a plan when he came here today, so he looked at Chu Hao worriedly before leaving, but still took everyone out.
Xiudun couldn't stand the cold, Su Huihui originally saw that he wanted to take the opportunity to get out of this stool, but now he was pressed by the first haze and couldn't get up, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the wind and cold were about to recur.
Sheng Yunyi walked to the side of the case and pulled away the little princess, Su Wen was rescued and hurriedly stood up, but Chu Wei desperately struggled to get into her arms, and seemed to be very afraid of her imperial brother.
Sheng Yunyi didn't care about her anymore, lowered his eyes to look at the few rows of words written randomly on the paper, and asked straight to the point: "What is the solution of Master Su right now?"
Su Huihui understood what he was asking, and the moment she took her pulse, she knew why Sheng Yunyi wanted her to "bother" with the eldest princess's pulse. This child is congenitally deficient, and the womb brings a scorching breath, which needs to be suppressed by cold things, so this Liuyu Palace is ventilated on all sides, and the hall is burned with cold incense, and the embroidery pier is also put on the things that emit cold when it encounters air, and the princess wears little but does not feel cold.
The twelve-leaf green sand fruit, which was a medicinal herb for the symptoms, was robbed, and he rushed to the duty office from the banquet to ask Su Huihui to give him an explanation.
But hasn't he already laid a net, is Liang Guo's secret guard too well prepared, or does he intend to let them go? Su Huihui is definitely inclined to the latter, in her impression, this person's method of controlling others is extremely powerful, which can be seen from the heavy blow to the Duanyang Marquis Mansion from the birthday banquet.
If medicinal herbs are really indispensable, can he give up his sister to save the lord of the Northern Dynasty? Sheng Yunyi didn't even ask the assassin, but came to her, which was precisely the clearest statement: first, she was the person he promoted to the Tai Hospital, and he, as the top peak, knew much more than she thought; second, she had to bear the consequences for fueling the trouble, he could let her go in front of the medical officers and the river guards, and he could also use this matter as a threat to drag her for a long time.
So he was so confident in her medical skills that he didn't even pursue the medicinal herbs prepared for the princess, should she be grateful to Dade?
"Your Majesty trusts Weichen, the minister ......"
Sheng Yunyi laughed mockingly: "Give me to stand up and reply directly." ”
Su Huihui looked at him and said, "Yes." Her Royal Highness the princess's hot poison was suppressed in time, and the medicine she had used was also excellent, and the herbs that were really symptomatic could not be used until she was older, and Wei Chen could do his best to prepare a prescription similar to its nature. ”
The real symptomatic herb naturally refers to the twelve-leaf green sand fruit that has disappeared.
The two tacitly agreed, Sheng Yunyi took out a piece of paper from the pile of papers on the bookcase, and said, "Master Su will write down the pulse case first." ”
Su Huihui wrote in small block letters, in one go, Sheng Yunyi swept it over, and said:
"Since you feel that I trust you, you have to speak with the results. Su warmed up, I don't want to go around in circles with you, Chu Hao's illness is handed over to you, I don't have anything to worry about, after all, I need means, I have. ”
Su Huihui was silent for a moment and said, "Then your majesty can rest assured." ”
She is actually not 100% sure, but if she doesn't, she has to pretend to have, forcing herself has always been a way to survive.
Sheng Yunyi withdrew the pressure around her, and Chu Wei pulled her soiled skirt and muttered: "Sister, you look very nervous, Yunyun knows that she is not in good health, and she will not cause trouble to her sister...... My sister is not Uncle Xiaoling. ”
Although she is the eldest princess with a supreme status and is favored, her private words are no different from the little girls of other families. Su Huihui remembered that the words and deeds of Sheng Yunyi and Yan Xugui in the room that day were also the deep friendship that can often be seen among ordinary young people, without a little arrogance, but later it was finally destroyed by the bureau he did. The little princess has an elder brother, and even a medical officer who is pleasing to the eye can call her sister and uncle, she has never heard of such an education, but personally, it is much better than the royal family of Beiliang.
She still remembered that she also called Su Huan her brother when she was a child, but this word has not been used since she was six years old.
A smile appeared on Su Hui's lips, "Does Your Highness still want the minister to help with writing? ”
Chu Wei cheered and then covered his mouth, and quietly glanced at Sheng Yunyi's expression from under his eyelashes, Su Hui couldn't help but laugh when he looked at it. She likes beautiful children, and everyone likes beautiful, cute and lively children.
Sheng Yunyi said: "That's it for today, Master Su will often come to Liuyu Palace in the future." I hope you will remember the promise I made today, although I promised you many conditions at that time, you must not leave the hospital until the princess's illness is eradicated. ”
Su Huihui knew that he was quite lenient with her, and it was false to say that there was no gratitude, so he leaned over and lifted the curtain to follow Xiyin who was guarding outside out of the hall.
After she left, Sheng Yunyi picked up the moire paper that stored the handwriting of the two of them and looked at it carefully.
He stared at the words in the center, and a smile suddenly slipped through his bright dark eyes.
Chu Wei climbed up the embroidery pier, rubbed his arm to his chest, and tilted his head to look at the two lines of small letters.
"What is written? The words are all understandable, but you can't understand them when they are connected. ”
Sheng Yunyi brushed away the child's scattered forehead hair and looked at it a few more times. The sunlight is just right, sprinkled on the beautiful small print, and the faint scent of ink floats in the air.
"The mist is flowing jade, and the fragrance of flowers is long. ”
He read the words slowly, his voice as low as wine.
Chu Wei said happily: "Yunyun remembers, my brother used to say that this poem used to name me, but what does it mean?...... It's okay to read it again, my brother's voice is good. ”
