The weather was very cold, Meng Zhining looked out the window, and estimated in her heart when it would snow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The winter in Chu was really cold, and she was too unaccustomed to such weather and sneezed, so she hurriedly ran back to add clothes.

The cupboard was full of half-worn clothes, and she picked out a random one to change into, wrapped herself tightly, and sat down on the edge of the brazier.

Ming Yue wiped her knee joints with medicinal wine, she had a lot of pain in the past few days, and she couldn't sleep much every night.

So now that she smeared the medicinal wine, she rolled up the quilt and went to bed.

If it continues like this, it is estimated that the dark circles under the eyes will come out, Meng Zhining's body itself is poor, and she will get sick if she tosses it casually.

It didn't take long for her to fall asleep.

Ming Yue sighed, got up and ordered the kitchen to cook a bowl of bird's nest, and wait for the young lady to wake up and send it to her.

Every winter, Miss's health will become very bad, and many times she almost can't survive.

Turning her head, Mingyue saw Yan Xiling, who was also in the kitchen.

"Lord Wang." Ming Yue trembled, she didn't know why the prince came to the kitchen so empty.

Yan Xiling made a straight face, Meng Zhining said that she would cook the meals every day? The food these days doesn't seem to be to his appetite at all, bad reviews.

Chef Liu also looked helpless, Master Meng hadn't come to the kitchen for a long time.

He pointed to something burning on the table and asked, "What is burning?" ”

Mingyue trembled and said, "Lord Wang, Miss, my health has not been particularly good recently, so the slave maid asked the kitchen to cook a bowl of bird's nest." ”

Nests?

He opened the lid on it, and it was indeed bird's nest, and it smelled like there was a medicine for sleeping and keeping out the cold.

It's understandable to keep out the cold, why add sleeping pills?

What kind of physical discomfort is insomnia? The corners of his mouth twitched, "This king will go to the Spring Dew Courtyard to have a look." ”

Pushing open the door of the Chunlu Courtyard, he felt that it was very warm inside, the indoor temperature was at least much higher than the outside, and four or five braziers were placed in the room to maintain the temperature.

It was hot, and he took off his outer robe directly.

Inside the room, Meng Zhining was lying on the bed, her face was a little flushed, curled up in the quilt, and she still looked trembling.

Cold?

Yan Xiling frowned and stuffed her exposed arm back into the quilt and went to call the imperial doctor.

"What's going on?" He clearly felt that Meng Zhining's whole body was now weak.

Mingyue looked at her master distressedly and said: "Miss used to have a bad life in the Meng Mansion, so she contracted a disease, and under normal circumstances, she would not have an attack, but in winter, these major and minor illnesses were committed together, and Miss didn't sleep well these days, so the slave maid added some medicine to the bird's nest that can sleep peacefully." ”

The doctor came a little later, picked up a silk handkerchief and put it on his wrist and began to check the pulse.

After a while, he said: "The patient is weak and cold, so she is contaminated with some wind and cold, and her pulse does not seem to be particularly stable, it may be that some old diseases on her body have recurred, and she needs to be treated in time, otherwise it will be life-threatening." ”

I didn't expect it to be so serious, Mingyue herself was startled, and hurriedly asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, and then asked the rough maid next to her to grab the medicine and get the medicine.

Yan Xiling touched Meng Zhining's forehead, this hot can be used to boil eggs.

He was suddenly particularly interested in her past.

He grabbed Mingyue, who was about to leave, and said, "You tell this king about your master's past." ”

Mingyue nodded and said: "The slave maid began to serve the master when he was eight years old, and the master was ten years old at that time, and he basically worked in the yard every day, which was similar to the life of us slaves and maids, and the food and clothing were the same as ours. Miss has to serve the lord and Mrs. every day, Mrs. and the second miss are even harsher to her, almost every day to be beaten, Miss once accidentally broke a bowl, Mrs. let her wear a single clothes in the snow in the snow for a day, Miss kneeled directly after fainting, at that time Miss was infected with a very serious cold, if it wasn't for a monk to give a pill, Miss would have been unable to hold on, although the monk saved Miss's life, but Miss every winter body will become very weak, several times almost can't get through. ”

Sentence by sentence, Mingyue almost shed tears, Miss was really miserable before.

Yan Xiling was a little distracted, remembering the strangulation marks on her arms that night, as well as those clear eyes.

He thought it was her who wanted to get away with it.

It's still a little ashamed to think about it now, no wonder she likes silver so much.

At a glance, there were a few simple silver hairpins and a few hostas lying in the dresser box on the table.

He remembered that when Meng Zhining married in, she was a concubine, but the dowry was only eleven lifts, and when Meng Weixi came in, it was with the gift of her aunt, but the dowry of Meng's mansion was thirty lifts, and she wore red makeup all the way.

He hadn't noticed it at first, but he remembered that the dowry list had thousands of taels of gold, as well as countless things like purple jade and pink pearls.

Chu State is notoriously low, and the position of the fourth-grade official is already considered high, but there are not many Yulu, not to mention that the Meng family is a big family, and the one who serves as a high-ranking official in the court is Meng Chengde, to support so many people, his little bit of Yulu is almost the same, where do these valuable things come from?

Moreover, in recent years, the treasury has been somewhat empty, and the decree has been promulgated, and corruption must be dealt with severely.

He pursed his lips, and the things he was still thinking about were solved at once.

The Meng family has been arrogant for a long time these days, and it's time to cut off some wings.

After the medicine was decocted, Taohua came in with the medicine, and Yan Xiling naturally took it: "You go out first, I'll be here." ”

Mingyue nodded, and closed the door when she went out.

Yan Xiling picked up the bowl, helped Meng Zhining up, scooped up a spoonful of medicine and stuffed it into her mouth.

In her sleep, she suddenly felt as if something hot had entered her mouth, and she woke up all of a sudden, and spit out the medicine in her mouth with a bang.

Scalded to death.

Yan Xiling sat at the head of the bed with a black line on her face and shook her robe.

She spat all on his white robe.

"Wang Ye......" Who knew that he was feeding her medicine, she felt that it was already very good that she didn't spray him in the face.

Yan Xiling felt that he was too used to her in the past few days, and he was getting bolder and bolder.

"It's medicine." He calmly raised the bowl in his hand, "Eat it, don't spit it out." ”

Meng Zhining couldn't cry or laugh, she stuck out her tongue like a dog and said vaguely: "But Lord Wang, this medicine is too hot, you stuff it directly into the concubine's mouth like this, and it will be strange if the concubine's body doesn't spit it out." ”

Touching the bowl that is a little hot, this seems to make sense.

Uncle Yan said that he had never served anyone, so this was understandable.
