Chapter 150: Suspicion
"Did you get anything?" Duanyue wandered alone in the dim candlelight, and quietly heard the sound of small footsteps outside the house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 She cautiously opened the crack in the door and whispered into the night outside.
The little wolf outlined his outline in the moonlight, his dark skin shining in the moonlight. He took out a packet of things wrapped in brown paper from his waist and secretly handed it to Duanyue. "I have done what the county lord commanded. But what else is there to command? ”
"Go back. Don't let anyone know. Duanyue took the brown paper bag and nodded calmly, the sharp gaze in her eyes swept over the little wolf, like a sharp arrow about to penetrate people's hearts.
The little wolf nodded understandingly, and then bowed with his fists in return, and disappeared into the night, as if no one had ever been here.
Duanyue licked her chapped lips, looked around vigilantly, and saw that the night around her was quiet and quiet, so she immediately closed the door tightly. Three steps and two steps hurriedly ran back to the table, and eagerly put the paper bag in his arms on the table and opened it.
The kraft paper was wrapped in several layers, but the pale yellow paper was still soaked in the black-brown medicinal juice, exuding a bitter and unpleasant smell, which made Duanyue frown and cover her nose in disgust. She held a bamboo chopstick and pulled a small stall of boiled black residues on the kraft paper, and struggled to distinguish them.
Duanyue is not a person who is proficient in medical skills, she can only rely on her little memory and a little content from the medical book, and it is difficult to distinguish that there are perilla, sand kernels, atractylodes and medicinal materials that vaguely resemble tangerine peel. She frowned, and hurriedly fetched a copy of the crumpled medical technique from the shelf, and by the dim candle flame, she longed to glue her eyes to the yellowed pages.
"Perilla, sand kernels, atractylodes ......" Duanyue said something in her mouth, and suddenly, her voice stopped abruptly, and then replaced by a long silence.
She looked at the page in front of her, and the fly's head was neatly written, "The fetus of qi stagnation is restless, and the commonly used ones are perilla, sand kernel, Changwu's atractylodes, tangerine peel, Su terrier, angelica, and ejiao." ”
"No...... Duanyue opened her mouth slightly, her pupils trembling violently. She looked at the words written on the book, and suddenly closed the book in a frustrated way. Yu Guang glanced at the medicine residue on the table, and immediately threw the medicine and kraft paper into the grass outside the door.
In the quiet night, Duanyue could only hear the violent beating of his left chest, and the sound of "dong dong", like the thunder of the drum, was deafening. She panicked, hurriedly shook her head, threw all these messy things out of her mind, and immediately jumped on the bed, not caring about her coat before she took off it, wrapped in the quilt.
In this hot August, Duanyue suddenly felt a chill all over her body.
She couldn't sleep well all night. I don't know if I'm asleep or not, I can always see Cuiguo crying with a child in my half-awake and half-dreaming, which is so miserable that people are moved. Duanyue frowned uncomfortably, and saw her rushing towards herself, beating herself vigorously, again and again without stopping, she opened her eyes in panic, but it happened to meet Cuiguo's smiling eyes.
"The county lord slept wrapped in such a thick quilt, isn't it hot and panicked?" Cuiguo frowned and helped Duanyue smooth out the quilt on her body like a mountain. Seeing that Duanyue didn't even take off her coat, Cuiguo even accentuated her tone. "County Lord, what's the matter with you? I went to bed without even taking off my coat, what kind of heat rash would make us feel distressed to death! ”
"I was so sleepy last night that I wanted to take a nap in a daze, but I slept until the morning and forgot to take it off." Duanyue smiled at Cuiguo with sleepy eyes, then rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed.
I don't know if it's a mental effect, Duanyue's eyes swept over Cuiguo's lower abdomen, and she always felt a slight bulge. Cuiguo blinked, not knowing what Duanyue's straight eyes were looking at, so she asked suspiciously. "What is the county lord looking at? Are you looking at me? ”
Duanyue smiled stupidly. "I'm looking at Cuiguo, are you a little fat?"
"Huh? Is it? Cuiguo's eyes widened, her eyelashes flickering like feathers on her face. She said with a slight joke. "Then I'm going to have to eat less, and if I'm fat, I won't be able to wear the new clothes I set this year."
"Serve me and get up." Duanyue pursed her lips, only with a faint smile in her eyes. She stretched out her hand to Cuiguo, and Cuiguo tacitly helped Duanyue get up from the bed, helped her to the bronze mirror, and skillfully groomed Duanyue.
Duanyue looked at the faces of the two people reflected in the bronze mirror, and was stunned, and only after a while did she speak. "Cuiguo, you can ask Jingyan to comb my hair. You go to Doctor Ye's mansion and call him to me to ask for a peace pulse. He rubbed his head as he spoke. I don't know if it's because the heat has been too strong lately, I always want to sleep when I'm dizzy, I can't do anything, and I don't have an appetite. ”
"What's wrong with the county lord? Not feeling well? Cuiguo's hand stopped instantly, and she hurriedly bent down to ask Duanyue. In her crystal clear eyes, she made no secret of her concern for Duanyue.
Duanyue shook her head and said patiently to her in a calm tone. "You can invite Imperial Doctor Ye here, go quickly."
Cuiguo bit her lip, didn't dare to delay, and immediately walked out the door. She stood in the courtyard and hesitated slightly, always feeling that today's Duanyue looked very strange, and there was a sense of distance that vaguely surrounded her. Cuiguo couldn't think of what was wrong, so she could only sigh secretly, clench the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and strode outside.
After a while, Jing Yan lowered his hand and stepped into Duanyue's house. She first bent down to Duanyue and saluted, and then picked up the carved sandalwood comb that Cuiguo put aside, but she didn't do it for a long time.
Duanyue frowned, squinting at it, only to see the child's arm trembling, as if frightened.
"What's wrong? Am I that scary? She turned her face sideways and gracefully raised her eyes to look at Jingyan.
Jingyan hurriedly shook his head, like a frightened child. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and lowered her voice timidly. "The slave and maid don't dare to start, for fear that they will not be able to comb well or be punished if they tear the county lord up."
Duanyue couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw her aggrieved lowering her head. "Afraid of what? I don't eat people. ”
"My sister who lives in the same room with the slave maid has a villager who works in the palace on an errand in the palace, and she said that those palace maids comb the hair of the maids, and if they lose a strand of hair, they will inevitably be beaten. Therefore, the slave and maid are afraid that the county lord will also beat me. She looked down at her fingers, her voice trembling with fear. The slave and maid are afraid of pain, and they can't stand the beating. ”
"I'm not a mother, and this is not the palace, so you can rest assured to comb boldly. I don't hit you. Duanyue turned around, looked at the smoke in the bronze mirror, and nodded at her friendly. Hurry up, there's someone else coming. I can't just put on my head and see people, can I? ”
Jing Yan pursed her lips, she secretly measured it in her heart, and still mustered up the courage to pick up the wooden comb, combing Duanyue's waterfall-like green silk again and again, like a piece of fine silk, so smooth and soft.
