Chapter 292: I'm afraid it's too late
At night, in the Zihuan Palace, behind the curtain, Xiao Ning's right hand holding the pen tightened, and his eyes moved from the paper to the palace man standing in front of the table with his head down.
The man stood motionless, and could only discern his nervousness from his trembling hands.
"Qingsi Hall set up a banquet to entertain the people of the Tai Hospital."
Xiao Ning repeated in a low tone, "Who gave her the idea?" “
He casually glanced at the palace man, his gaze was like a blade, his tone was light, but the oncoming coercion could not be hidden.
"Yes, the princess ordered it, and I have already informed the hospital to mention it."
Xiao Ning said expressionlessly: "Tell me to go down, she will ask if she wants." “
I sat by the window, lit the lamp, and flipped through the book in my hand.
This morning, I broke up with Xiao Chu in the library of the Tai Hospital, and he did not appear again until I came down from the library pavilion.
It was Jing Lan who pestered me for a long time, and the words were nothing more than about Xiao Chu.
From the two of them here, you can think of how they get along in Shikun Mountain.
With an unpredictable master like Xiao Chu, it is not easy to be his disciple.
The two teachers went to bed early, usually at this time they were already snoring, Dr. Chen unexpectedly did not fall asleep, he turned over, and saw me who was still holding a book under the window on one side of the room, and said in a gentle tone: "Xiaolin, go to bed early." "Tomorrow's Tai Hospital has set up a small banquet in the hospital."
I put down the book, looked in the direction of Master Chen, and said, "Teacher, didn't you say that the princess is going to hold a banquet in the Qingsi Palace, why is the Tai Hospital also going to hold a banquet?" “
Doctor Chen propped himself up from the couch, sat on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "Xiaolin, in a place like Qingsi Palace, there are not many people who can eat enough, the princess is noble, and everyone will be afraid of three points." "It is precisely because of this that the Tai Hospital mentioned that it will come to the Tai Hospital for a gathering before the banquet in the Qingsi Palace." "Don't you want to see who are the doctors who have entered the palace from all over the world? There aren't many of them you meet in the courtyard. A lot of people are afraid that you haven't even heard of it. “
I was slightly stunned, pursed my lips and raised my head and said, "Teacher, the saint's illness has not improved greatly, and he is still sober for a while from time to time. "Do the four princes want to keep in charge of the country? What do you think? “
Doctor Chen lowered his voice and said: "Xiaolin, these things have nothing to do with us, I said earlier, the fourth prince will not embarrass us doctors when he comes to power, you can see that after the banquet in the Si Palace, everyone will return to the original place." There were only a few people left in the hospital. ”
"Teacher. Is there a possibility?" I said hesitantly. "Will the hospital let you stay?"
Doctor Chen shook his head and said, "No, no, you can rest assured, and besides, I am in Yingtian." Renshan Hall is open every day, and if there is a summons in the palace, someone can call me. ”
"There are so many doctors for consultation, and the most likely thing left should be the doctors who came from afar, especially those who have unique insights in this consultation."
"For example"
"Xiao Lin," Dr. Chen said bluntly, "The list of candidates has now been handed over to the Tai Hospital for mention, and there is no conclusion on who to decide." "Me and Dr. Xin, you know. I've been friends for many years, so I know a little bit, in short, you can rest assured that there is no me above. “
I was forewarned that I had escaped, and I can't tell whether I was happy or sad. It's just that Master Chen said that the doctor came from afar, and a name came to my mouth in my heart, and I couldn't help but whisper after all: "Teacher, that Jinglan from Shikuo Mountain?" “
If she was left behind, what about him?
My expression was grim, nominally Xiao Chu's return to Yingtian was just Jing Lan's assistant. "Xiaolin, it's late at night, rest early, and before the banquet tomorrow, you still have to go to the library to finish the day's work."
Doctor Chen raised his hand and yawned. "Dr. Xin has praised you a few times in front of me, don't let him down, help him sort out the books he wants before leaving."
The teacher didn't want to talk too much about that topic, and it wouldn't be interesting for me to ask any more questions.
Before going to bed, Dr. Chen suddenly said: "Xiaolin, you are going to the banquet set up by the Tai Hospital tomorrow, as for the banquet in the Qingsi Palace, find a reason for the teacher to excuse you, you just stay here and don't go." "The rumors in the palace a few days ago are somewhat related to you, and at this time, I am worried that there will be no good banquet."
There was a moment of silence, and I felt that it was superfluous to answer anything to the teacher at this time, and when I looked sideways, I realized that his old man had fallen asleep.
The white beard trembled, and his white hair was gently swept by the wind.
He really accepted me, a closed little disciple, and he thought about me everywhere.
Even in the turbulent palace, although his ability is limited, he still tries his best to protect me, hoping to take me out of the imperial city safely.
I made a decision that was a little more certain than it was in the morning!
Sleeping late, he is still the first one in the room to get up.
I'm used to it, after washing, sitting at the table and grinding ink, I have a plan in my heart, even if there are a lot of things to do, I can also plan ahead and take the first step.
Blowing dry the wet ink on the paper, I folded the letterhead and put it into a thick envelope.
This Xiaokai is not enough to see compared to Xiao Chu, but fortunately, it is upright, and the person who receives the letter can understand it. "Little junior brother," said another disciple of the doctor in the same room, who also woke up, and when he saw that I was already sitting by the window to start the day's homework, he grinned, "You are so diligent, I am reprimanded by the master every day." "Originally, I wanted to live in a room with the famous Dr. Chen of Yingtian and ask some questions, but I didn't expect that I came here, and the most thing I do every day is to listen to the master's lessons, and if I continue to compare like this, I am afraid that I will be driven away as soon as I leave the palace." "The master also told me at dinner last night that he was envious of Dr. Chen for accepting such a diligent disciple." He gestured with a pout.
I smiled silently, lowered my eyelashes and whispered, "I'm always afraid that there won't be enough time, so I cherish it when I can grasp it." ”
"You are different from me, it should be said that everyone's situation is different, some people need to rush and hurry, rush to do everything, some people can be leisurely, not so anxious, it's not that I'm diligent, I'm just worried, there is not enough time."
"Xiaolin, are you going to the Library Pavilion today?" He was confused by what I said, looked at me ignorantly, and changed the topic to a down-to-earth topic.
"I'm going, the things entrusted by Dr. Xin haven't been completed yet." I bowed my head. "The hospital is open in the evening, do you know?" He raised an eyebrow at me.
I tidied up the things on the table, made room for him, and stuffed the letter I had just written into my own baggage by the pillow.
Before going out, I turned around and confirmed with him what I had just said: "I will come back before dark and talk to my master for me." ”
As I walked past the pharmacy of the Tai Hospital, I heard the familiar smell of medicinal herbs, and a wind-like figure hit me and almost fell to the ground.
Jing Lan grabbed my clothes so that I wouldn't fall, she saw it clearly, and said angrily and funny: "Early in the morning, Xiaolin, what are you running?" ”
I swallowed the words to my mouth, in fact, I wanted to say: Sister, you killed me suddenly, and I was walking in a good manner!
The pot of medicinal juice in Jing Lan's hand was spilled on the ground, she lifted the lid, looked at the little medicinal soup left, leaned over and smelled it, frowned and said, "It's over, most of it has been spilled, it's not enough." "Hurry up, we have to do it all over again."
Smelling the smell, but not the usual herb smell, I sniffed and realized that it was a decanting soup.
"Who's drunk?"
I heard that the alien doctor who lived in Dongyuan had nothing to do and had a happy party, and a few people sat around drinking and chatting, but I didn't expect that I could still drink indiscriminately in the palace, is it really an alien uninhibited indulgence and freedom? !
In the next second, Jing Lan's words made my heart beat faster: "Who else can there be, besides Ah Lie and my father, who else made me get up early to boil medicine for him." ”
She weighed the medicine pot in her hand and said abruptly: "I think of Shikun Mountain again, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the grassland is also beautiful, and the big pieces of meat and big bowls of wine are like here?" ”
"Xiao Lin," Jing Lan whispered close to me, "I suspect that Brother Yun has fallen out with the princess. ”
"How so?" I frowned.
"He came back yesterday and drank a lot of wine, you can't imagine it, a person like him is still drunk, but I can't stop him but I'm worried, his old injuries have never healed, and he is always tossing."
Jing Lan's tone was undisguised with concern.
After she finished speaking, her eyes rolled, stared at me and said, "Xiaolin, your master has taught you a good way to sober up, after a hangover, it is the most uncomfortable, and the kind that can relieve the headache tightly." “
I hung my head and said in a dry tone, "Listen to what you say, it seems that you are often drunk." "How do you know?" Jing Lan said with a smug smile, "I am in the clan, and it is rare to meet someone who can compare with me in terms of alcohol. “
I opened the cabinet where the medicinal materials were stored, identified them one by one, found seven or eight kinds of medicinal materials, turned to Jing Lan and said, "You come to the stove to get it in half an hour, I will boil the medicine for you, and after that, I have to rush to the library to do things, and you can send it to your master yourself." “
Jing Lan raised her foot to leave, turned back a few steps back, stretched out her hand and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Xiaolin, you are so righteous, come with me to Shikun Mountain after leaving the palace." “
She looked at me from head to toe, tilted her head and said: "I'm still young, maybe I can still run around if I eat more beef and mutton, if I don't like you, my sister will tell you the truth, how can any woman be willing to follow you!" ”
I looked at her dumbfounded!
She comforted me and said, "Don't be sad, didn't my sister tell you, I will cover you in the future."
"Okay, I know."
I couldn't take it anymore and waved her away. "When boiling medicine, I don't like others to disturb me, if you don't want to affect the effect of the medicine, just come back and get it in half an hour."
