Chapter 31: The Bitter Meat Trick (1st Update)
The man in black who was following dodged into a well-repaired mansion, there was no light in the house, he knelt on one knee respectfully, bowed his head humbly and reported back: "Your Highness, the flower thief has escaped and his life is safe." ”
The man who was called His Highness turned his back and looked out the window with his hands cut back, and the spring thunder exploded, and the expected rain seemed to be heavier.
"Have you been discovered?"
"Your Highness, rest assured, his subordinates are hidden, and no one will notice that his escape is related to his subordinates." The man in black spoke in a confident tone, and his exposed black eyes flashed with a bit of pride.
"Well done." The corners of His Highness's mouth rose slightly, and a satisfied smile appeared.
"The subordinates have another thing to report, I heard the brother in charge of the Rui Wangfu say that Princess Rui will be ...... tonight It seems that there is an intention to flee. He paused deliberately, nervously watching the reaction in his seat.
"Oh? That's interesting. Sure enough, His Highness tilted his head, a little more interested, "Do you know where she wants to escape?" ”
"Look at the direction, it's like the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Got it, let's step down if there's nothing else to do." Noticing that there was no breath behind him, he closed the window and turned away. She wants to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, why?
Jingqi looked angry after being put back, and while carefully medicating Diexi's knee, he repeated the two words clearly, "Traitor." ”
"Well, it's urgent, and you don't have any ...... Ahhh ”
Diexi didn't finish speaking, only felt that the wound stopped for a while, and couldn't help but scream.
Jing Qi softened a little softly, and snorted coldly, "Your Highness was still agitating to rebel against this girl just now, if it weren't for my loyalty, I wouldn't have been your person a long time ago, hum!" ”
"I'm wrong." Diexi looked at her wound and couldn't help but bared her teeth, how could this official lady be so thin-skinned and tender, and she would be injured like this when she touched it, "It's good that you follow me, if you follow the Xia family, you are not allowed to say no, how can you still mutter like this." ”
"Eh, you can't say that." Jingqi raised her eyes and wanted to argue something, but when she saw Diexi wrinkling her little face and glaring at her, she lowered her head to continue to treat the wound, and continued to say in her mouth, "When I was young, the master said, you don't know who you follow, you are very happy, before you get married, the master still wants me to take good care of you, if you are Xia, the master still needs to worry." ”
"What did you say?" Diexi shrank her legs and looked at Jingqi suspiciously, Dad...... So what she commanded?
Jingqi felt speechless, "eh" for a long time, and bluntly opened the topic, "Where are you going at night?" I just told Your Highness that you had slipped out, and he immediately sent someone to lead the horse in a rage, what kind of good place is it? ”
Of course, he could guess that he was nagging the Prime Minister's Mansion every day. Hey, the golden cicada has failed to shed its shell, and it seems that it has to be a bitter plan.
Diexi pulled Jingqi and whispered to her: "I have a very important thing to do, Ming'er, you go and fetch a bucket of water to put it in the house, don't let others see it, and besides, everyone is separated at night, and no one is allowed to come to my house, understand?" ”
"Why? And what if it's His Highness? Jingqi looked at Diexi with a puzzled expression, but saw that her face was solemn, and she didn't know what to do.
"Then you can stop it for me, you are so smart, this little thing is fine."
The night was wet and cold, the room with the doors and windows closed was dark, Diexi took off her coat and wore only a white middle coat, and the cold wind blew and made her shiver slightly. Her tiny body curled up in a ball, and she dragged her legs to the table, lifting the tablecloth to drag out the poke of cold water hidden inside.
Although it was nearly March, the cold wind seeped into the room, and it was still very cold. Diexi took a deep breath, as if she had made a great determination, and poured the cold water down.
The main waist was tightly strangled by the water on her chest, she only felt a suffocating tightness spread from her chest, and she couldn't help but open her mouth wide and inhale greedily a few times, and then lay flat on the ground.
My whole body was sore, and my throat was itchy for a while. Diexi moved, couldn't help coughing a few times, and slowly woke up.
"Are you awake, what did you do last night?? Why did it burn so badly? Jingqi took off the dried handkerchief and rubbed it again to cover her forehead.
When she got up in the morning, the room was the same, and she went to fetch the bucket and wanted to release it, but found that the bucket had long been out of the well water, and she felt strange, so she heard the people on the bed cough a few times in pain, and it burned badly.
"I'm fine......" Diexi smiled weakly, she couldn't imagine that this body couldn't stay up all night, it was really unexpected.
"Jingqi, you go and ask His Highness, saying that my body is not a doctor in the palace who can heal, and I want Dr. Zhang from the Prime Minister's Mansion to come, he understands my body and knows what medicine to use, go quickly."
"What if Your Highness disagrees?" The doctor in the mansion has already taken the pulse, not to mention that Dr. Zhang is the doctor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, of course she will be worried.
"Then ask for it."
Jingqi sighed loudly, went out and said a few words to the maids on the side, and then left.
Diexi turned over groggily, gathered the quilt and re-covered it, and then quietly put her hand under the pillow.
Feng Xiuyun was greeting someone in the side hall, Jingqi ran to see Jun Hao waiting outside the door, she smiled at Jun Hao flatteringly, and said softly: "Brother Jun Hao, Your Highness...... Busy? ”
"Your Highness is greeting guests, but what does the princess command?" Jun Hao saw her strange appearance, and took a side step to block her.
"The princess is very sick, I want to ask Dr. Zhang from the Prime Minister's Mansion to take a look, do you know that her body, if it is not Dr. Zhang, she can't cure the root, can you spread the word?"
"Nope." Jun Hao categorically rejected her, and said with a stern face: "Your Highness is entertaining distinguished guests, not to mention that there are rules in the house, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to enter and exit at will." ”
Jingqi pursed his lips and turned away stupidly.
After a long time, the door of the palace was reopened, Feng Xiuyun said goodbye to the guests with a slight smile, and was about to enter, Jingqi had already rushed over and knelt down, "Your Highness!" I beg Your Highness to save the princess! ”
Diexi slept in a daze, only to feel that her face was rubbed by something, slightly cool and a little itchy, she opened a slit and faced Shangfeng Xiuyun's concerned handsome face, "Your Highness?" ”
"Dr. Zhang is here." He gently helped her sit up, compared her forehead, and put aside a little solemn expression.
Dr. Zhang immediately bowed over with the medicine box and stepped forward to ask for peace, "The grass people ask for peace for the princess." ”
"Hurry up." Diexi poked out a hand from the brocade quilt, but saw that Feng Xiuyun had no intention of leaving, so he asked him strangely, "Isn't Your Highness going out?" ”
"Madame is sick, this king naturally has to care, how can he go out?" He smiled at her, sinister and sinister.
Diexi pursed her mouth, Dr. Zhang had already padded a brocade mat for her, covered it with a handkerchief and checked her pulse, "Eh." He looked at Diexi's eyes with something clearly written, but he was a little puzzled, so he had to reply respectfully: "The princess is indeed infected with the wind cold, but the princess has never been in good health, and it seems that she has had a cold attack recently, and she needs to be well regulated." ”
Feng Xiuyun raised her eyebrows, noncommittal, still standing aside and staring at Diexi tightly.
"Doctor Zhang!" Die Xi snorted, and while lying coquettishly, she began to pound Dr. Zhang's medical box, "Didn't you bring that to me?" ”
Doctor Zhang was strange and nervous, and hurriedly stood up and was anxious to stop her, but he found that Diexi had clearly dropped a small paper roll from his cuffs, and he was stunned and hesitated.
"There's no Bao Cheong Hong's dim sum, it's boring." Die-hee said, sliding back into the quilt and coughing a few more times with her back to everyone.
Doctor Zhang hurriedly closed the medicine box, turned sideways awkwardly and bowed to Feng Xiuyun, "Your Highness, the grass people have gone down to prescribe the prescription first." ”
"Go ahead." With a wave of his hand, he walked back to the bedside and tuck the quilt for her. Little thing, this king wants to see what you are still playing.
Dr. Zhang rushed back to the prime minister's mansion and looked around vigilantly for a while, before closing the door to check the medical box. The small scroll of paper was lying on the bottom, and he took a breathless look around before slowly opening it. He looked carefully, and his heart was also shocked, and he hurriedly hid the paper roll in his sleeve and rushed to the prime minister.
On that paper scroll, a small poem was written in Juanxiu's handwriting: the sleeve hides the magic and calculates, the hand carries the prestige, and the viewer enters the self-clear.
