Chapter 300: Follow in disguise
"Purple Huangong Water Pavilion?" I said to myself. For a moment, there was a lot of suspicion, and the banquet that was set in the Qingsi Palace, how could there be news overnight that it was going to be changed to the Zihuan Palace?
I haven't seen Xiao Ning for a few days, and when I heard the news, my first reaction was to go to Zihuan Palace?
After thinking about it, I felt that it was inappropriate, and the banquet in the evening was enough to prepare for a day.
At this time, the people in the Zihuan Palace were mixed.
If you pick a moment like this, you will definitely be seen.
Before the banquet began, the truth was settled, but I was afraid that I would not be able to eat at night.
But this decision is very strange, is it Xiao Ning's intention or the princess's idea?
The little disciple in the same room saw me standing there without saying a word, and he was very worried, he raised his hand and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Xiaolin, what are you worried about, there are so many people in the palace, and I don't want you to prepare a banquet, so dignified, standing here with a sad face!" ”
I dodged away, my eyes lit up.
The younger disciple in the same room followed me, and when he saw me walk to the cabinet next to the desk where the miscellaneous items were stored, he also followed.
"Xiaolin, I'm going to leave the palace in a few days, I heard that my master may be left in the palace, you say, can I follow my master?"
He asked me.
I stopped rummaging, glanced at him, saw the uncertain expression on his face, and responded, "You really want to stay in the palace?" ”
"Of course, it's very good here, and the food is much better than in the pharmacy." "There are clothes for all seasons." "The palace also gives silver." "And most importantly, I'm in a place like this. It's just an inconspicuous little person, and his life is better mixed. ”
I couldn't help but laugh and said: "You think well, but a place like this in the palace is a place where people eat without blinking, not to mention the far away, and the close to the saint's illness, haven't you heard of the few imperial doctors who were dealt with before?" ”
His face changed. turned to say nonchalantly: "Then it has to be a doctor who is qualified to heal the saint, I don't have that opportunity in my life, in other words, it's safe, isn't it?!" ”
I sneered and said, "Your master didn't tell you?" Just a dozen years ago, the queen at that time was seriously ill, and among the doctors of the imperial hospital who were disposed of by the saint in a rage, there were also their personal disciples. "At that time, the saint was very angry, saying that the apprentices taught by quacks will also delay the patients in the future."
He was taken aback by me. He took a few steps back and said, "Really? And there is such a thing as sitting? "If you don't believe it, wait for your master to come back, and ask carefully." I said lightly.
He stayed where he was for a while. Before leaving, he nagged me with emotion: "Xiaolin." I came to the palace at the same time as you, and you know so much about being silent. ”
I smiled wryly and continued rummaging through my hands.
Unfortunately, there are only a lot of things that can be found here, and I have a packet of smeared herbs in my hand, which is the foundation of my life in Ying Tian'an. It is also the safest protective color for me in the palace.
Just mixing another herb can change a person's complexion.
One white covers a thousand ugliness, and one black covers everything.
It's especially black, yellow, black and yellow, this color is really difficult for people to look at a few more times, otherwise how could Jing Lan make fun of me.
I was holding the medicine packet. After a few steps, I sat down at my desk, and turned my head to still look at the glove cabinet that I had closed.
Resources are scarce here. If only it were in Renzentang.
A thought crossed my mind, and I suddenly rubbed my head in hindsight, this is in the palace, there is everything, what I want, but I am just looking for it.
With my mind in mind, I tidied up, walked out of the room quickly, and walked in the direction of the medicine store.
First find the herbs I need, always step by step.
I feel that things are urgent, but it's a pity that my steps can't go fast, I've always been like this lately, and I feel tired when I take a few more steps, but it's a pity that I can't take care of these now.
I turned around the long corridor in the hospital and chose a secluded path that was less crowded.
I didn't go far when the footsteps behind me sounded all the way through the fallen leaves, getting closer and closer to me.
I stood still, looked behind me, and saw a familiar figure walking towards me.
I hesitated for a few seconds, but then I picked a large tree and hid it behind its trunk, the thick grass and greenery covering me.
The mute palace maid of the Zihuan Palace trotted all the way by, and the expression on her face was very anxious.
My heart skipped a beat, and I didn't hesitate to follow her.
The direction she was going was exactly the same as my previous destination.
What day is it, it's a coincidence!
In the corner of the Tai Hospital, there is a medicine warehouse with the largest storage of medicinal materials in the palace, and the doctors who usually go in and out the most are the doctors of the Tai Hospital.
She was in a hurry, and I was so out of breath that I could barely keep up with her, but I was finally there after a ride.
The dumb palace maid ran to the medicine depot without distraction, and she had no time to pay attention to me behind her along the way.
I was at the gate of the courtyard outside the medicine store, crouched against the wall, and my head was terrible.
I guess she's going to get the medicine, and it will take at least a moment to give me a break.
After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of pushing the door, and I cheered up, stood up and looked at the door of the medicine storehouse courtyard.
I saw the mute palace maid running out with a large bag of medicinal herbs in her hand.
As when she came, she didn't have time to pay attention to me in the distance.
After running a few steps behind her, I rounded the grove and shouted to her halfway through.
"Sister, you wait." I shouted, and she stopped abruptly and looked back.
"Good thing you can hear me." I caught up and smiled wryly at her, "Otherwise, I really can't keep up with you, sister." ”
"You're coming to the pharmacy to get the medicine?" My eyes focused on the large bag of herbs in her hand, "Is he sick?" ”
Of course, the dumb maid knew who I said he was.
As soon as the words came out, I felt that it was inappropriate, in case other people in the Zihuan Palace were sick. This sounds like a curse on Xiao Ning.
"Don't blame me for guessing wrong." I hastened to add.
The dumb palace maid took my hand and made a gesture, I saw her meaning clearly, my heart tightened, and my face suddenly sank.
"I'll go with you." When I saw her finish, I patted her wrist, and she had a look of embarrassment on her face, and stopped in place without taking a step.
"What's wrong?"
I wonder how she could react like that? You know, the first few times, she made excuses. Even if he doesn't hesitate to lie to me, he will risk being punished by Xiao Ning to trick me into going to Zihuan Palace to see him.
This time, the sun hit the west and came out, I took the initiative to tell her to go, she still hesitated, could it be that it was last time, Xiao Ning really punished her without me knowing?
Didn't Xiao Ning promise me that he would never embarrass the palace people for this?
He has always been true to my word.
The mute palace maid looked at me with her eyes in her eyes. With pleading, I cautiously gestured, and I sighed and said, "It's okay." You have taken me to the side door. There are many people in the world today, and if I rush in, I am very worried that others will know about it and bring unnecessary trouble. ”
I grabbed her, lowered my voice and said, "You know, tonight's banquet was originally scheduled to be in the Qingsi Palace. Now that the news is coming, it is very strange, and it has been changed to be done in the Water Pavilion of Zihuan Palace. ”
The dumb palace maid nodded, with a hint of indignation on her face, and I intuitively felt that there was an article here. It was also seen that she was dissatisfied with that princess, and Xiao Ning was uncomfortable last time. The arrogant princess broke into the Zihuan Palace at night, which probably made the entire palace look sideways.
But none of this has anything to do with me.
I said softly: "The most important thing at the moment is to ask you to think of a way to bring me into Zihuan Palace quietly, don't leak the news, I just went to see Xiao Ning, as for you are worried that he will punish you"
I thought for a while and said, "From beginning to end, you don't show up, the only task is to bring me in, and I will explain it to Xiao Ning face to face." ”
"There's one more thing I want you to do me a little favor." I was relieved to see her agree
The banquet to be held in the water pavilion of Zihuan Palace in the evening, most of the people in the Tai Hospital and the palace will attend, counting the number of people, the scale of this banquet is not small.
Since the news came out in the morning, there have been palace people coming and going between Zihuan Palace and Qingsi Palace.
Most of them are not enough people over there, to help arrange and prepare, to deliver things, there are many people, and I am not so eye-catching after the dumb palace maid.
Besides, the way I dress now, walking with my head down, I can't attract the attention of others.
The palace dress she found for me is one size bigger, and it is a little wide on the body, and I can't find fault with this now, as long as there is no mistake in the appearance.
The hair she combed for me was similar to her own, and women's clothing had been lost for a long time, and even this kind of makeup felt like a distant thing.
I followed the dumb palace maid, walked through the flow of people, and walked into the backyard of the Zihuan Palace.
There is a passage over there that leads directly to Xiao Ning's residence, and it is not the first time I have walked it, so I am naturally familiar with the way.
She led me to the passageway, and I whispered, "Go away, I'll just go in." ”
The dumb palace maid raised the medicinal herbs in her hand, and gestured a few words meaning that she had to go to the kitchen to decoct the medicine, and I waved my hand to tell her to go quickly.
Following the passage, I made my way to the inner room of Xiao Ning's residence.
Through the screen, I was startled to see a few people outside, and although they couldn't see me, I still managed to hide behind the curtain.
A familiar voice sounded, it was Mr. Ge, and it seemed that there was another person following, either the person who served Xiao Ning in the Zihuan Palace or the doctor seconded by the Tai Hospital.
"Fourth prince, the reaction of this medicine is too violent, do you want to change it?" Mr. Ge said in a gentle tone.
Xiao Ning didn't make a sound, and after a while, he heard his weak voice: "It's okay, continue to use it." ”
I waited behind the curtain of heavy curtains, looking at Mr. Ge through the hazy veil as if he was applying a needle, and in less than a cup of tea, Xiao Ning let out a low moan.
My heart instantly tightened.
He didn't shout, he was always light-hearted, but this suppressed voice sounded painful!
Even an outsider like me has an empathetic experience, no wonder Dr. Ge asked him just now.
