Chapter 12: Rejuvenation of the Hands
The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread, Xiao Mocheng lay on the couch for a day the next day, without any strength, but after resting for a few days in a row, he got better and better day by day, three days later, he was completely able to walk in the courtyard, he took a big breath with his hands on his waist and then exhaled slowly, the whole person was refreshed.
He was so happy that he walked back and forth in the yard, it had been almost a month since he was poisoned, he was tormented by injuries and poisons, and today he finally found his original self, and he was naturally very happy.
Jiang Mei stood under the corridor from a distance and watched Xiao Mocheng dancing with her hands, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she also had a happy smile on her face.
When Xiao Mocheng turned around and found Jiang Mei's cunzài, his heart was suddenly overjoyed, he immediately ran over, involuntarily took her hand, and said excitedly: "I haven't seen you for the past few days, which has worried me for a long time, and I have worked hard for you for days, are you better?" His voice was extremely gentle, like a lover who cared for him.
Jiang Mei was quite surprised by his move, withdrew her hand without a trace, and said: "It's okay, I've rested, congratulations to His Royal Highness Nine on regaining his health, but His Highness still has some residual poison in his body, I will prescribe some more prescriptions, and eliminate all the toxins after a month." ”
Xiao Mocheng smiled stupidly, with some moist color in his eyes, at this moment he hoped that he would not get better so quickly, so that she could stay by his side for a few more days. Thinking about it like this, Xiao Mocheng suddenly felt an irrepressible reluctance in his heart.
The news of Xiao Mocheng's recovery was soon reported to Emperor Xiao and Concubine Su, Concubine Su was the first to rush to Chengming Palace, and Emperor Xiao also brought everyone to visit him in the early morning. As a result, the Chengming Palace, which had been quiet for a few days, immediately became lively.
"Your Majesty has arrived, the Queen Mother has arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" The chamberlain's voice was loud and long.
"The concubine asks for peace for His Majesty, and for the queen mother!" Concubine Su was the first to come out to greet her, and as soon as she saw Emperor Xiao, she bowed softly.
"The sons and daughters ask for peace for their father, for their mothers, and for their younger brothers, for His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Before Xiao Mocheng could finish speaking, he was helped up by the prince, and the prince said angrily: "Look at your weak body, just after a while, you will become strong." ”
The queen snorted coldly, but said with a chuckle on her face: "Look at your poor child, you are the heart of your father, if there is any mistake, what can we do!" What Queen Yin said was affectionate, but it was not very comfortable to listen to.
Concubine Su still had a relieved smile on her face, unmoved by the queen's sour words.
Jiang Mei, who was standing behind everyone, had been focusing on His Royal Highness the Prince, Prince Xiao Moyu was known for his benevolence and filial piety, when I saw him today, seeing that he was kind and humble, Jiang Mei had a good impression, if he was not the queen's concubine, he would be an idle prince, thinking about it, Jiang Mei moved her eyes to Queen Yin, who was dressed in a big red palace dress, and saw that her face was hidden and unkind, and she guessed the reason in her heart.
Empress Yin seemed to notice a gaze that was not salty, she turned her head to look at Jiang Mei, and examined: "Doctor Jiang is really good, even the slightest poison can be solved, it's really amazing!" ”
Everyone was attracted by the queen's words, and then they noticed this hero, so they all looked at her,
"The people's daughter Jiang Mei asks for peace for His Majesty, for the queen's mother, and for His Royal Highness the Prince!" Jiang Mei bowed down neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Excuse me, Miss Jiang, thank you for your hard work, you cured my Nine Emperor Princes, say, what reward do you want?" Emperor Xiao looked at her with a smile on his face.
"The women of the people don't dare, and the women of the people have practiced medicine for many years and have never received money from the sick."
"Miss Jiang is really good-minded, the doctor's medical skills are ranked, and virtue is the first, it seems that Miss Jiang can be called a model for doctors in the world." The crown prince Xiao Moyu stepped forward to her and praised her sincerely.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you don't dare to set an example, everyone has their own strengths, and the people's daughters are just the duty of doctors. If His Majesty must reward the people with something, then ask His Majesty to reward some precious medicinal materials to the people's daughters, and the heavenly weather is majestic, and the people are sincerely afraid and trembling, and ask His Majesty to allow the people to leave Beijing as soon as possible. Jiang Mei bowed and replied, her tone extremely sincere.
As soon as Jiang Mei's voice fell, Xiao Mocheng was so anxious that he almost jumped up, and in an instant he pretended to be weak again, "Oh, Father, the head of the son is still a little dizzy from time to time, and he is not very appetizing when eating, maybe this is the sequelae of detoxification..."
Jiang Mei, who bowed her head, was puzzled, what kind of trick did this Nine Emperor Prince play, he had eaten so much in the morning, and he dared to say that he had a bad appetite.
Emperor Xiao glanced at Xiao Mocheng, and knew in his heart that if he didn't know about his son who had been spoiled for twenty years, it would really be a white pet.
The hall fell into silence for a while, Jiang Mei's face was slightly spicy, although she didn't look up, she could guess that everyone was looking at her.
Emperor Xiao squinted his eyes and glanced at Jiang Mei seriously, thinking secretly in his heart, this woman is really a rare talent, he is clear about the medical skills of Hua Taiyi, but even Hua Taiyi is helpless against the poison, she can solve it at a young age, and what is even more rare is that she has an extraordinary mind and bearing, it would be a pity to let her walk among the people. After some deliberation, he was ready to follow his son's wishes and find a way to keep her in Beijing.
But the emperor is the emperor, and he gave an ambiguous order: "Miss Jiang, I haven't figured out how to reward you, and Cheng'er's body is still very weak, you should first recuperate and recuperate for him, if you want to be bored, you can let someone take you out of the palace for a walk, and you can also enjoy the demeanor of the Son of Heaven!" ”
Jiang Mei hesitated for a moment, and finally replied helplessly: "Obey!" ”
After Emperor Xiao instructed Xiao Mocheng a few words, he left with the queen and Concubine Su first, but Emperor Xiao and the others left for a while, and another group of visitors came to Chengming Palace.
"Brother Cheng, are you feeling better?" A bell like a crisp voice came from the doorway,
Jiang Mei took a look and saw a lively and beautiful woman jumping towards Xiao Mocheng,
This girl is the most favored princess Xiao Yuyu in the saint today, she is smart, well-behaved and cute, and she is quite loved by Emperor Xiao.
"Haha, Sister Yuyu, if you dance to my brother again, my brother promises to be healthy immediately." Xiao Mocheng looked at her with a playful face,
Jiang Mei hid her face and shook her head, he was really romantic, and he didn't even let go of his own sister.
Xiao Yuyu's little face raised, and she pouted: "My brother will make fun of me, a few days ago, my father and mother didn't allow me to come to see you, for fear of disturbing your healing, so today I invited my brothers to come to see you." ”
As soon as her voice fell, Jiang Mei saw several princes stepping over, and at the forefront was a man in a black shirt and brocade robe, his face was handsome and flawless, and a pair of Danfeng eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, almost evil.
The sixth prince Xiao Mojiu! Jiang Mei said secretly in her heart.
His extremely beautiful Danfeng eyes are well known to everyone, Jiang Mei looked away slightly, but she didn't dare to look at him more, for fear of being confused by that deep gaze.
Looking further back, I saw a thin man follow, walking a little slowly, and from time to time he covered his mouth with the sleeve of his coat and coughed twice. Jiang Mei had heard that there was a prince in the palace who was born with a chronic illness and a withdrawn personality, Jiang Mei glanced at his somewhat cold and hard eyes, and guessed that he was Xiao Moxuan, the eighth prince.
Xiao Moxuan and Xiao Moxuan saw that the prince was also in the palace, so they saluted first, and several princes greeted each other again. Jiang Mei quietly stepped aside, bowing her head and listening to their words.
"Ninth brother, your temperament really hasn't changed at all, who knows if you didn't offend someone outside and caused this trouble!" At this time, Xiao Moxuan coldly reproached,
Jiang Mei snorted coldly in a low voice, this Eighth Prince is really thinking simply!
"Eighth brother, don't talk about the ninth brother, he is just right, you make him proud for a while, and after a while, we will treat him again." After all, the crown prince Xiao Moyu couldn't bear to be blamed by others, so he quipped.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, at the moment, it is important for the ninth brother to take care of his body first," Xiao Mojun answered, he took a sip of wine, and there was a sense of helplessness and uneasiness hidden in his narrow eyes.
Xiao Mocheng glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Jiang Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at him lightly, the corners of her lips hooked, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face, now that the Nine Emperors were poisoned, Emperor Xiao must investigate the assassination, and there were more and more discussions in the government and the opposition, and everyone seemed to think that the sixth prince Xiao Mojiao and his father-in-law Yuan Kai were the murderers behind the scenes.
This kind of feeling of having to carry the black pot even though he didn't do it himself, Jiang Mei snorted coldly, it's time for Yuan Kai to feel like this......
Just as Jiang Mei lowered her head and pondered, a familiar voice came from the door that made Jiang Mei's heart jump suddenly!
