145 Chapter 144
The sun is dazzling, the roadside tea stalls are doing brisk business, and the sheds are full of idlers gathered together.
"I heard that the imperial court is preparing for today's big wedding, and the merchants in the city are secretly competing for the procurement of the Ministry of Rites! Fanjing has not been lively for a long time, and the scene of the operation at that time is probably even bigger than a few decades ago. β
"Do you mean that Huizong carried Empress Yan from the Changping Gate into the palace? No, Xiao Lao'er remembered that the streets were crowded with people, and a few people who didn't read the yellow calendar were trampled to death in the chaos. β
"The dynasty really wants to welcome a Kun Ji of the Northern Liang, it's really strange! Do you say that General Rong still wants to fight over......
Su Hui's ears have always been good, and when the car passed through the city, his mind became hot. Since she mistakenly ingested the sea cinnabar of the pit man, she privately thought that the only benefit was not to be afraid of the heat, but now the discussion outside the curtain made her sweat.
In the morning, she slept a little back, and only went out to Shilang's Mansion when it was nearly dawn, and before leaving, Lu Duzhi came and brought a thick booklet for her to see. Su Huihui flipped through a few pages casually and didn't want to read it, these bride prices were not left in Qi Country for her, and she was thankful that she could manage her dowry in the future.
The six rites were completely ruined by Sheng Yunyi, skipping Na Cai's name and directly hiring, Su Huihui could already imagine what the reaction of the north side was, if her grandmother knew that even the ceremony of Zhou Gong had been done in advance...... She shuddered, she would never have thought about it a year ago.
It's all his tricks, and it's full of evil. She recited it a few times with determination, snorted, and smiled again on her lips.
It can be seen that Sheng Yunyi is indeed very anxious, maybe he is afraid that something will happen again, but she is all here, what else is he worried about? She used to tell him that she needed to get permission from her elders, and she didn't expect him to take it to heart, after all, he was used to doing his own thing. Now she only cares about her body the most, marriage is a matter of two people, the more he gives her, the more she has to bear.
On the other hand, Xiao Yun's wedding date was originally scheduled for next summer, and the Rong family was not in a hurry, but Mrs. Xiao was in a hurry. Fortunately, her daughter's health is getting better day by day, and in addition to thanking the hospital judge and Mr. Xu's consultation, the Xiao family and his wife have appeared in front of the doctors only a handful of times. Su Huihui understood that their respect for themselves was because they listened to the corner last time, and a courtier was afraid of offending Tianyan, not to mention that it was already a sin.
Xiao Shilang, who was always avoiding her today, stood at the door with a smile on his face to greet her, and Su Hui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.
"The little girl can get out of bed and walk around, thanks to the hard work of Lord Su and Mr. Xu for half a month, if there is anything that needs to be run by the official in the future, please be sure to command. Xiao Shilang bowed and said.
Mrs. Xiao silently introduced her into the embroidery building, Su Huihui nodded politely at her, closed the door and continued to discuss her condition with Xu Buyang.
Sheng Yunyi detained her tightly, and as long as there was no major event on weekdays, she stayed in the Agarwood Hall to study prescriptions - except for Xiao Yun, there was also Yan Xugui's. Xu Buyang considered the stakes and didn't dare to face the saint, so he simply ate and lived in the Shilang Mansion, and didn't go anywhere under the pretext of seeing a doctor for the Shilang's daughter. When he got serious, he looked like he wrote a few expensive hot herbs supplemented with whole Bodhi snow, and used silver to smash a way out for the patient.
"Warm up!" Xiao Yun leaned on the bed, his face still not much blood, but at least he could open his eyes and speak.
Xu Buyang moved the little horse behind the screen and fanned the wind stiffly. There was a brazier burning in this room, and he had always been afraid of the heat, and it really cost him his life to make this thing under his nose on dog days.
"Don't move. Su Huihui put his hand into the quilt, found his pulse and listened carefully for a while. She was too focused, and waited until Xu Buyang's loud voice lit up before she looked up.
Xiao Yun was buried in the thick quilt, and her watery eyes looked at her in surprise, "Warm up, why aren't you hot? My father moved three braziers!"
Su Huihui smiled, "Of course it's hot, but how can the doctor care about this." β
Mrs. Xiao didn't tell the child about Bodhi Xue, but she was more comfortable. Xiao Yun is a kind and sensible girl, once she feels guilty, she can't be treated like before in this life.
"That's so ethical...... No wonder Your Majesty let you bear Lord Yuan's errand. Xiao Yun looked at Xu Buyang, who was sour at the fan, and praised him heartily.
Xu Buyang was hit by an arrow in the knee, and shouted angrily: "Senior sister, come here, help see which of these two recipes is better." β
Xiao Yun hurriedly said: "Pick up, you must have a lot of things to do now, don't delay here with me! My father ...... the day before yesterday."
The little girl didn't continue, Su Huihui glared at Xu Buyang, who innocently spread his hands and said that it was not his sin. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials were next to each other, and Xiao Shilang, as a high-ranking official, of course knew what the brothers next door were preparing early on.
"When you get better, let's send a letter to Rong Gongzi. She dropped a sentence and glanced at the sun outside the window, "Go downstairs and talk about it." β
When he arrived on the first floor, Xu Buyang shook the yellow paper in his hand, Su Huihui looked at it carefully, and there were a few more lines of dense small characters on Yan Xugui's pulse case.
"The person in the pharmacy who is Lin Qizhi is the king of Yue, and the Yan family also has a relationship with Nan'an, so we had an idea and leaned the stolen medicinal materials in the palace to the south, and it turned out that it was not in vain. β
Xu Buyang pointed to the three extra words on the paper, "Senior sister, think about it carefully, add this sea cinnabar, the prescription is not much smoother! Except for Xun Muhua, we think these things are enough to give it a try." β
"Then get some more. She blurted out, suddenly feeling wrong, "...... But if it is really a necessary herb, even the preservation of the Tai Hospital has been deliberately destroyed, and there must not be even slag left in the south. β
"That's right," Xu Buyang scratched his head, "Now that we have the recipe for the poison forty years ago, the only thing to do is to make an antidote according to the prescription." In fact, the process is not complicated, that is, it is laborious to collect, and it is necessary to find someone to try the efficacy of the drug, which is too time-consuming. β
Although Yan Xugui has a good foundation, no one knows when this toxicity will occur, and if she drops the chain on the joint, she, the main responsible doctor, will have no face.
Su Huihui took a pen and copied the two prescriptions neatly, "I'll go back and read it again." β
"Reach out. Xu Buyang piled the paper aside and ordered her with a straight face.
Su Huihui couldn't help it, so he obediently rolled up his sleeves and exposed his wrists.
"As the saying goes, a doctor doesn't heal himself, but my sister is very conscious......" He said gracefully, after a while, his face turned slightly gloomy, "You know yourself, right?
Su Huihui looked up at the beams.
"It's strange that the River Drum Guard doesn't look at you. Let's be louderβ"
"Alright, it's not like I haven't been in control. She was a little irritable, "The few medicinal herbs you need are on the road, and the mountains and rivers are far away, so you have to wait patiently." β
Xu Buyang was about to go crazy, crying with a sad face: "Are you still waiting? God, junior sister, why are you so wide-hearted, can you divide half of us?"
"Who knows how long it will take to get married...... Su Huihui was stunned as soon as he spoke, and he didn't pick up for a long time, which made Xu Buyang very embarrassed.
"Okay, don't think about these things or not, we won't let you have an accident, and my brother's life is still tied to you. β
Su Huihui wanted to explain, "I probably have too many problems, so I am always unstable in my heart...... I want to do it as soon as possible, but the ceremony will take many days to prepare. β
Xu Buyang has been single all his life, and he can't understand the thinking of these young people, so he only changes the topic curtly:
"He wants the media to marry, when he wants to marry, remember to ask the Empress Dowager if there is any remaining Muzhi, what medicine depot in the world is more complete than the one in the palace?"
Grand empress dowager......
When a bride is married, she must pay homage to her family. Her grandmother was the only member of her family.
*
Su Hui was a little tired, got out of the car and walked to the hall. The hour is still early, the shadow of the tree has not yet reflected on the steps, and the agarwood hall is quiet.
When she came, she passed by Yongning Palace, which was his mother's former residence, and now the building is empty, and only the palace maid cleans it on time. She didn't go in to see it, in fact, she had only been to two palaces in the Qi Palace, and she didn't know anything else. Sheng Yunyi seemed to feel at ease only when she was within his reach, and said that it was a joke to let her choose one place from Yongning Palace and Jinghui Palace, but at this time, she suddenly thought that if she wanted to obey the etiquette system, she would have to live in the original queen's house. She has never been conscious of it, maybe because he behaves too much like an ordinary man, as a husband and wife, it is natural to share the same bed, but as the emperor and queen, it will be very strange in the eyes of outsiders.
They will think that people with a truly noble status cannot be driven by emotion, and that respecting each other as a guest is the best way.
Before the time came, Sheng Yunyi actually came back. He knelt behind the bookcase, and there was a mess in front of him, and a few drops of ink splashed on the white silk.
He looked up at her and smiled as usual, "Chu Hao has just left, and I haven't had time to let people clean it up." You haven't been to see her a few times since you returned to Beijing, and she was jealous. β
Su Huihui was quite helpless: "If you often run to the Liuyu Palace, it will be your discomfort, I am here to maintain balance." β
"Don't be ashamed. He commented a few words and called her over to drink the medicine.
"It's already been shipped, so fast!" Su Huihui watched the few medicinal herbs he asked for turn into a soup with a bad color, and he couldn't accept the truth for a while.
Sheng Yunyi "um", bowed his head and criticized the chapter, "I respectfully follow Yi's order." β
She stared at the potion and made up her mind, and with a flick of her fingers, she poured them all into her stomach.
Ruixiang brought warm water to her to rinse her mouth, she finished the rectification slowly, and when everyone went down, she lay on the desk and said to him:
"I just saw that new lanterns have been hung in Yongning Palace, and the number of people who sprinkle and sweep has also increased, do you want to repair it?"
He put down what he was holding and looked at her languid brow, as if to see her bones.
"No. Finally getting married, add a few new lights to inform my mother. The house was familiar to her, her father didn't move, and I didn't want to move. β
She said, "That's right." Can you stay at Yongning Palace for one night today? I was on duty in the palace in August last year, but now I have only run through a few rooms, and I can't even recognize the whole way, so I am really ashamed. β
Sheng Yunyi seemed embarrassed, and sighed: "Is it inappropriate for the two of us to live in at night...... disturbed her purity. β
"What are you thinking about!" Su Huihui sat up straight opposite him, and said in the most serious tone: "Just me, I must always be familiar with the surrounding environment, this is what should be done." β
Seeing that he still didn't agree, she softened her voice, "Just so you have to tell her, I haven't even seen my mother's tablet." β
As soon as the words "Mother" entered his ears, his dark eyes flashed as he stared at her, and he spoke with extreme tenderness.
"It's up to you. β
The road to Yongning Palace was not long, but Su Hui's pace was extremely fast, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and walked in slowly.
The sunset is like rouge spilling in the water, and Manran depicts the clouds in the western sky. The tall pavilions and rolling roofs were unusually silent in the setting sun, and there was no wind or human speech in the courtyard, and a faint jingle came from the distant golden-black silhouette.
No one has lived here for sixteen years, and even the secret guards can't follow them, for fear of frightening the soul of the deceased to rest.
She asked the palace maid on duty to go out, took the broom herself, cleaned step by step, and finally came to the warm pavilion in the south. There is a portrait hanging on the wall of the room, and the window is full of delicate roses, and the signature is an unfamiliar flower stamp. The person in the painting is wearing an old skirt and a hairpin, and even the smile on his cheeks carries the spring light of the old year.
It's really raw, it's very similar.
The painter is so skilled that even the lines on her embroidery pier are meticulously carved, like a heart's trace.
- At that time, every time I came back from outside the palace, I still felt like I was going home.
Things in the world are never perfect.
She looked at the painting for a long time, put down her broom, refilled the incense, knelt on the mat and bowed three times.
They will definitely keep their promises, no matter what happens.
Su Huihui tried to suppress the heat in his throat, recited a scripture silently, stood up and felt his hair bubbling with fire, and warned himself to rest early.
The maid boiled the water and went out, she didn't bring anyone, she scribbled herself clean, didn't eat the food in the box, and lay down on the couch alone. The new bedding was comfortable, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. The clothes were almost gone, but the internal organs were still hot, and finally I rushed into the bath to pour cold water, and sat back on the pillow with my wet hair, and the world was spinning for a while.
Smelling rust in her mouth, she took the candle to the mirror to look, and sure enough, it was a nosebleed, so she had to open the medicine box and take out the prepared cotton and stuff it. The medicine is too strong, and you have to get used to it a few days before you can continue to take something else.
She didn't want to light the lamp, and the palace people who kept vigil came in to check it and couldn't argue, and the candlestick was placed on the cabinet at the head of the couch, shining a few drops of bright blood on the counter.
Anyway, she couldn't sleep tonight, she took cotton and wiped it little by little with water, obviously her nose had been dressed very cold, and the blood was still flowing, dripping while wiping. She thought desperately, it was really miserable for a doctor to get mixed up with this, and she was going to lose all the face of Yuxiao Mountain.
After about half an hour, the bleeding gradually stopped. Su warmed and withered on the edge of the couch, and the dark cotton was piled up in the bamboo basket to form a hill, and he was dizzy when he saw it.
The orange light of the candle filled the bedsheet, and she stared at the carpet without blinking, as if the embroidered vines could really bloom. Cleaning up tomorrow morning, she tried to close her eyes and lean against the wooden post, but another drop of liquid slipped down in the cold.
Su Huihui is about to blow up, how can this medicine not even make people feel better with a cup of tea!
With an inopportune groan, she cautiously walked to the table and opened the food box, whatever it tasted like, and picked out a few light pastries to swallow. She coughed and almost vomited after just half a bite, and she now understood why Chu Hao had a bad temper when she had asthma, and she was also irritable. But she was not a child, she gritted her teeth and ate a few pieces, breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt quite proud of her stomach.
The eardrums jumped violently, and she carried the bamboo basket to the innermost bathroom, no longer caring about the blood stains on the ground, and it was serious to take a shower.
Finally getting out of it, she tilted her head slightly, pressed her fingers on the cotton, and walked forward with small steps. At night, the grass and insects outside the window were noisy, and the leaves were rustling by the wind, she didn't know that it could be so noisy in the middle of the night.
After a few steps, he couldn't move.
An intermittent red thread dragged out of the carpet, and on the other end stood the person she least wanted to see at this time.
The lights are on.
She subconsciously covered her eyes, opened her mouth, but didn't make a sound, and her heart was so weak that she just wanted to escape back to the bath.
Sheng Yunyi strode closer, her face like sinking water, and pulled her hand away, checking from the watery hair to the tip of her toes. She was unshoeed, her toes exposed, and she shrunk into her silk robe under his stern gaze.
Her hands were clenched painfully, and her heart was filled with a little grievance, but she didn't have the courage to speak. The cotton in his nose was full of blood, and it suddenly loosened, and a shocking spot rubbed on his wrist.
Sheng Yunyi wanted to teach her a hard lesson, but she learned to hide it with clever words, but in a blink of an eye, she saw her silently groping over, using her sleeve to wipe the blood on his skin, and her low-hanging eyelashes trembled slightly.
He relented almost instantly.
Su warmed his body lightly, and he carried her to stand on the top of his boots, against her forehead, firmly locking those twinkling eyes.
"Nuan Nuan, don't scare me. Sheng Yunyi said in a dumb voice, "I can't stand it." The room was full of blood, and you weren't on the couch, and I almost went crazy. β
She still doesn't speak.
He wrapped his arms around her waist tightly, and the words were extremely clear, "I don't want you to hide anything in your heart, if you don't even want to tell me, who else will understand you?" He closed his eyes, and the feeling of powerlessness became stronger and stronger, "Nuan Nuan, I am your husband." β
Under the light, her face was flushed, but her lips were white, and she turned her head for a long time, and finally raised the corners of her mouth to face him, her face haggard.
"I'm sorry to stain your mother's house. β
After Su Huihui finished speaking, he pushed him away and ran to the corner, squatting in front of the bookshelf and coughing loudly, his nails digging at the plank, and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out.
As if he had been caught off guard in the chest, he chased after her and squatted on the ground with her, holding her hot hand, trying to relieve her pain. But the more she coughed, the more she showed no sign of abating, and as soon as her body fell into his arms, the wet blood immediately stained half of her clothes red.
Sheng Yunyi gritted her teeth and hugged the person to sit on the couch, poured warm water to moisten her throat, she pinched her neck and swallowed it in small gulps, like a hole in her throat.
The night was extremely long, she didn't let him go, she didn't want him to summon the medical officer, the effect of the medicine was calculated, they didn't use it when they came, and they couldn't take other medicine at this time. He was beside her, at least a little better, she struggled in the endless darkness, he was the only light.
At dawn, Su Huihui was finally relieved, and he was not afraid of people at night, and he leaned on him exhaustedly, and his eyelids couldn't support it. Even swallowing saliva hurts, it will be fatal if she comes again, she is very fragile and can't stand the toss.
When she was completely quiet, she was already in a half-asleep state, and in a daze, she felt him let go of his arm, and her eyebrows furrowed.
"Mother, I didn't take good care of her. β
Su warmed his breath, raised his hand to pull Zhang Mianpa, coughed a few more times, and paced back from the edge of sleep.
The shadow of the sun cast in front of the window, and the water stains on his knees glowed with a golden glow. At night, she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't get off the bed, so he soaked her whole body in cold water three times and twice, dried her and let her hold it, and the blood mixed with water poured on the ground, so that the beautiful blanket could not be seen.
Sheng Yunyi knelt in front of the incense burner, lit a stick of incense, and read in a low voice: "My son is not filial, so I can't let you see the wedding ceremony for the time being." She's a very good girl, I love her and respect her, and she's the only one in this life, so I can wait. β
"I can wait until that day, when she is above the palace city, when all the people are watching, she will hand over her hand to me, become the most noble queen of Daqi, and enjoy the sunrise and moon setting with me, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. β
"Please bless her with safety, other than that, Yun Yi has nothing else to ask for. β
Look no further.
He touched the bottom with his head three times, and then turned his face.
Su Hui reclined on the couch, looking effortlessly at his face in the morning light, and the veil slipped between his fingers.
His brow furrowed, a look she knew best, but she knew that he was suffering just as much as she was.
Sheng Yunyi didn't see the blood coughed up on the white handkerchief, and said softly: "I'll send you back to Liang, and it will be over soon." β
He stood up, took her hand, interlocked his fingers, and said softly:
"You'll be fine, don't be afraid. β
