Chapter Seventy-Five: A Foregone Conclusion
The aunt nodded again and again, and Xiao Wanyao also believed that she could remember every word she said in detail, so she left after giving the medicine.
This dispensing is different from the last time Xue Qingyi was dispensed, at that time, in addition to treating Xue Qingyi, there was indeed some revenge on her, so she deliberately gave her the most unpleasant taste, so that she couldn't be comfortable even if she was cured, but this time it was different, the taste of crow grass is reasonable, and the taste of cantharid is not flattering to ordinary people, the reason why Xiao Wanyao gave her this is to inhibit the tumor on Empress Dowager Xue's body from absorbing nutrients from the body, and second, I want to try, whether Empress Dowager Xue can endure hardship, If you can't even endure this small hardship, then you will definitely not be able to endure the long suffering later, and it will be an uneasy process.
Xiao Wanyao is still full of expectations for Empress Dowager Xue, although she is not optimistic about Tang Siqi, nor does she like some of the personalities of the Xue family, but she is still very optimistic about Empress Dowager Xue, she feels that this woman can assist her son over the years, so that the hearts of the separated people in the court have been stable for so many years.
These Empress Dowager Xue are all indispensable.
And Xue Tianao has not been able to see Empress Dowager Xue since Empress Dowager Xue fell ill, because Tang Siqi and Xue Qingyi are by their side day and night, except for the imperial doctor, other idle people are not allowed to enter, and Xiao Wanyao can go in completely because she unveiled the emperor's list, and the next behavior is not considered a bully, so she is an exception.
Unveiling the emperor's list at will is not a joke, Xue Tianao naturally knows this, so he doesn't dare to make such a decision no matter how anxious he is, and he basically doesn't know anything about Empress Dowager Xue's current situation.
The matter of sarcoma on the leg is not glorious, so it is only vaguely mentioned in the imperial list, most of them just talk about the symptoms of high fever that does not go away, and only after seeing the doctor himself, can he understand the condition after a preliminary assessment.
And the people who knew the condition and couldn't do anything about it didn't let them go at present, but locked them up secretly, and sooner or later they would be secretly executed.
This is for the royal secret not to be leaked, the less people know, the better, for the so-called royal dignity, Tang Siqi feels that it is worth killing a few people.
Of course, this will not include Xiao Wanyao, because she has a way to treat Empress Dowager Xue, once Empress Dowager Xue recovers her health, naturally there will be no rumors to say anything, and if Xiao Wanyao fails, Tang Siqi is not worried, because he has long made up his mind to keep her by his side for a lifetime, so it doesn't hurt for her to know the secrets in the palace.
And Xue Tianao didn't know at this time, he was just waiting anxiously, but later learned that Xiao Wanyao had revealed the emperor's list, so he hurriedly went to find Xiao Wanyao.
"The eldest sister doesn't sue me, what is the current situation of my aunt, you can sue me! After all, it was my aunt, not an outsider. Xue Tianao said.
Xiao Wanyao shook her head and said, "Since the Holy Lord and your eldest sister are currently unwilling to announce the Empress Dowager's illness, it is useless for you to ask me, I am a soft-spoken person in the palace, so don't harm me." ”
Xue Tianao swallowed his saliva and said unhappily: "When did I hurt you, I was worried about you while worrying about my aunt!" I heard that you unveiled the emperor list, are you crazy? ”
The look in Xiao Wanyao's eyes darkened, and Xue Tianao knew that he had spoken a little out of proportion, so he hurriedly apologized: "I was in a hurry just now, so I didn't speak lightly, please understand......
Xiao Wanyao waved her hand and said: "It's okay, I can understand your feelings, and I thank you very much for worrying about me, but the saint doesn't say it, naturally I hope that this matter will not be publicized, when the time comes, the saint will naturally let the queen mother see you, you can rest assured!" ”
Xue Tianao looked at Xiao Wanyao with a sad face, and said quietly: "I'm more worried about you, how can the emperor list be revealed?" Do you know why none of those doctors know how to go home? ”
"Of course I do." Xiao Wanyao sighed, "For the sake of that ridiculous royal face, it is normal for people to be sick, why do you want to be so evasive, I know, but I will never understand." ”
Xue Tianao tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm guessing, this is the 'opportunity' you've been waiting for for nearly a year, right now?" ”
Xiao Wanyao didn't speak, and lowered her head to admit it.
Xue Tianao said: "I'm just curious, how did you know about today's events at that time?" ”
Xiao Wanyao secretly complained in her heart, this was one of the reasons why she didn't want Xue Tianao to get involved, she didn't know how to explain this matter, she couldn't say that she was an unpredictable prophet, right!? If she lies, then there will definitely be flaws, if she is seen through, what will Xue Tianao think of her? ?
But now Xue Tianao still feels that something is wrong, Xiao Wanyao can't help but regret a little, why did he be soft-hearted at that time and tell him that he had such a plan, but now like this, no matter how he lies, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back.
Seeing Xiao Wanyao's silence for a long time, Xue Tianao took out a small porcelain jar from his cuff and put it in Xiao Wanyao's hand.
"This is snow lotus honey, this is the only one for five years, now you have to take it every day, don't let me down." Xue Tianao pointed to the porcelain jar and said.
Xiao Wanyao was a little surprised, she couldn't help but open the small porcelain jar, and suddenly smelled a sweet aroma, honey was golden but glowing with silver, which Xiao Wanyao had never seen before.
"Isn't Snow Lotus Honey already dedicated to the Queen Mother? How is it possible to have it here? Xiao Wanyao looked at the honey in her hand and there would be no fake, but she didn't believe that the honey brewed by Silver Snow Lotus would have a second copy in five years.
Xue Tianao smiled with a vague smile: "That is just a rare snow lotus honey in Qilian Mountain, not a silver snow lotus that blooms once every five years, so this one is unique, you can rest assured to drink it, you will be busy in the future, you can't support it in your estimation, but the honey brewed by silver snow lotus can strengthen your body, you must drink it recently, otherwise it will be no different from ordinary honey." ”
Xiao Wanyao then remembered that the reason why this kind of honey is precious, in addition to the short flowering time of the silver snow lotus, but the waiting period is long, and another point is that this kind of honey can only be stored for half a year, and it has the effect that silver snow lotus honey should have in this half year.
"Why are you giving me this?" Xiao Wanyao asked.
"You just eat, why are there so many problems?" Xue Tianao frowned, not very happy with Xiao Wanyao's question.
"But......" Xiao Wanyao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Don't you want to know why I knew about this in advance?" ”
Xue Tianao patted her forehead lightly and said: "You have been avoiding it, there should be something unspeakable, since this is the case, I have to let you say it, maybe you will only tell lies, I always feel that lies will be exposed one day, so it is better not to say it, so as not to hurt my feelings." If one day, you want me to know, then take the initiative to sue me, if you don't want to, then I won't force you. ”
Xiao Wanyao nodded, thinking that she really needed sufficient body in the future, so she accepted the snow lotus honey, and then said: "Thank you for giving me honey, if he has the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you, and now I leave you with so many questions, I really can't help you, thank you for understanding me, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely sue you." ”
Xue Tianao smiled: "Your peace and security is the biggest reward for me, now that you have an idea, then rest assured to do it!" Please believe in the promise I once made to you, no matter what, I will protect you, as long as there is Qinghe for a day, you can definitely keep Wanyao safe for the rest of my life. ”
When she heard this, Xiao Wanyao also smiled brightly: "I remember it, you should also leave now, if you stay here for a long time, you will be gossiped about, you are still more with your sister when you are idle recently, she must have worked hard to take care of the Queen Mother recently, you went, she felt a little comforted." ”
Xue Tianao nodded, and then left with some reluctance.
Xiao Wanyao looked at the snow lotus honey on the table, although she felt a little sorry for the Empress Dowager Xue, but she still felt very warm in her heart, it felt really good to be remembered, this feeling can make a person addicted, Xiao Wanyao gradually began to like the feeling of relying on Xue Tianao.
Two days later, Empress Dowager Xue really sent someone to find her, she went to the Yongshou Palace, and saw Empress Dowager Xue who was still lying on the sickbed, and her complexion had improved a lot.
Xiao Wanyao did not rush to ask questions after inviting An, but went to check the pulse of Empress Dowager Xue first.
"The Empress Dowager's pulse is still a little vain, but it is obvious that it has stabilized." Xiao Wanyao said.
"Your medicine really works, the tumor on the leg of the mourning family, from last night to today, has not had a fever." When Empress Dowager Xue spoke, she was a lot more confident.
"Doesn't the Queen Mother think that the medicine prepared by Wan Yao is really unpalatable?" Xiao Wanyao asked.
Empress Dowager Xue chuckled, but her gaze was firm: "Is it bitter?" The mourning family tasted it, but what they didn't feel was bitterness, this was the only way for the mourning family to live for a long time, no matter how bitter it was, it wouldn't be bitter. ”
Hearing what Empress Dowager Xue said, Xiao Wanyao felt that the treatment was one more hope for success, and things were going in a better direction, which made Xiao Wanyao feel a little surprised, it seems that Empress Dowager Xue herself has adjusted her mentality and is ready to actively cooperate with the treatment, so the effect of the medicine can also be fully utilized, which is a good thing for Empress Dowager Xue and Xiao Wanyao.
Xiao Wanyao smiled and said: "I didn't expect the Queen Mother's mentality to be adjusted so quickly, then Wanyao will be more confident, and please keep the Queen Mother like this, no matter how difficult it is in the future, don't forget today's mood." ”
Empress Dowager Xue said with a smile: "The mourning family is also a person who has experienced ups and downs, how can they not know this, from today on, the mourning family wants to live, and live a healthy life, so Xiao Wanyao, if you have any requests, put them forward!" As long as the mourning family can do it, and it is reasonable, the mourning family will satisfy you!! ”
After listening to this, Xiao Wanyao decided to say her request this time: "Wan Yao doesn't ask for anything else, just asks the Queen Mother to be the master after she recovers and let Wan Yao out of the palace, Wan Yao only yearns for freedom all her life, and entering the palace is equivalent to losing her freedom, Wan Yao is a bird in the forest, and she doesn't want to be imprisoned in a golden wire cage for a lifetime." ”R1154
