Chapter XI
He Jue stepped forward closely, was level with Ning Bai, and said sincerely: "Doctor Ning, I sincerely regret my mistakes, the ancients said, "You can change your mistakes, and you are very good", I don't ask Dr. Ning for forgiveness, I only ask Dr. Ning to give me a chance to correct my mistakes in the next place. ”
Ning Bai suddenly stopped, tilted his head, and sneered: "Lord He, do you still think you are a three-year-old child?" Can you change your mistakes? What if you kill someone by mistake? Can you change it? Lord He, you are extremely irresponsible for your words and deeds, a person who is not responsible for your words and deeds, let me ask, why are you loyal to the Third Highness? ”
He Jue's face was shocked, with a little panic and fear in his eyes. He Jue never thought that he would be so afraid of a woman. He was afraid that His Royal Highness would trust her, that she was the benefactor of His Royal Highness, and that she would inadvertently say some words to His Royal Highness in the future that would not be conducive to his future, which would make His Royal Highness feel guilty.
He Jue thought secretly, his eyes showed hidden ruthlessness, and his calloused big hand slowly touched the dagger on his waist, at this moment, he just wanted to kill the person in front of him.
Suddenly, a hand was placed on He Jue's hand that touched the dagger, and said, "Lord He, don't be impatient."
He Jue looked for the sound, and saw Ying Qi in a black court suit, and the cold was pressing, but he looked at him with a smile.
He Jue immediately squatted down and saluted Ying Qi, "Knock to see Lord Ying." ”
Ning Bai was on the side, and when Ying Qi appeared, it seemed that he had returned to the past when Brother Ying had always protected her, but Nan Chu was dead, and Brother Ying was not the same as before. She lowered her head silently, not wanting to listen to the two of them humbly greeting each other, the Third Highness was still waiting for her, she couldn't be late.
Ning Bai turned around and walked a few steps, and then she heard someone say beside her, "It's you?"
Ning Bai raised her head, her expression was slightly sluggish, and the person in front of her was actually the woman she rescued at the foot of Yucang Mountain that day, named Shi Yan.
Shi Yan thought that it was just a meeting in Pingshui that day, but he didn't know that he met this little doctor in the palace today.
Ning Bai smiled and said, "I didn't expect the cold beauty to remember me, it's really a blessing."
Shi Yan listened to these teasing words, without a trace of shyness and blush, just staring at Ning Bai with cold eyes, which was terrifying.
This made Ning Bai couldn't help but shudder, and Yu Guang glanced at Ying Qizheng walking forward, touched his nose subconsciously, and said with a light smile: "That...... His Royal Highness is still waiting for me, so he will leave first. ”
After speaking, Ning Bai immediately walked past Shi Yan, she clutched the cloth belt hanging the medicine box on her shoulder, lowered her head slightly, her expression was flat, but she didn't notice that the steps under her feet were extremely fast.
Later, He Jue saw Ning Bai leaving, thinking about the orders of the Third Highness, so naturally he stayed soon.
After the two left, Ying Qi smiled back, glanced at Shi Yan with cold eyes, and said with a chill in his calm voice, "Do you know him?"
Shi Yan secretly lowered his head and responded: "Yes, when he was in Yucang Town, he saved his subordinates."
Ying Qi played with the jade wrench in his hand, and glanced at Shi Yan with cold eyes, "Yu Cangzhen's matter, stop here, and order to go down, if you can't find the slightest trace, you don't have to come back!" ”
Shi Yan naturally understood what Ying Qi said. For eight years, since he sat on the position of the Grand Master, he has never stopped looking for the whereabouts of the county lord of Nanchu. Every night, he would sit under the locust tree in the annex, look at the old bead flower in his hand, see things and think about people, and sit late at night.
Ning Bai walked briskly and left He Jue behind. As soon as he arrived at Fengxiang Palace, he saw Helian Jinyuan anxiously coming towards him, his cheeks were slightly red, and his expression was obviously worried and nervous.
"Doctor Ning, you are here, the queen mother has been babbling constantly, and she vomits from time to time, but she has not been awake for a long time."
When Ning Bai heard this, his face was solemn, and he immediately became serious. She was very puzzled, she had only done acupuncture and prescribed medicine yesterday, why was the queen's condition worse than one night?
Ning Bai walked towards the hall and asked, "Third Highness, did the queen take her medicine on time?"
Helian Jin said from afar: "Everything is according to what Dr. Ning said, and His Royal Highness has always been on the side, and nothing has gone wrong."
Helian Jinyuan's words once again aggravated Ning Bai's doubts. Ning Bai walked silently, and when he arrived at the queen's residence, he saw the queen lying on the bed, stepped forward, and stretched out his hand to probe the queen's wrist. His pulse became weak, his face was pale, and his limbs were a little cold.
Ning Bai thought about it, was shocked in his heart, and immediately said: "Quick, go get a few more quilts and burn a few more stoves."
The palace maids in the queen's palace are all old people, and they are even more clean and neat in their work.
Ning Bai took out the needle bag from the medicine box, took the needle and performed another acupuncture for the queen. Immediately after acupuncture, the quilt covers the queen's body. At this time, he added a few more quilts, stuffed the stove into the quilt, and instructed: "The stove will be changed every two hours, and some charcoal fire should be burned in the house for heating, let the queen sweat for a night first, and I will prescribe some prescriptions later, and let the queen drink it early tomorrow morning."
The palace maids bowed slightly, bowed their heads and responded, "Yes."
Helian Jinyuan's palms were covered with fine sweat, and his worried and nervous expression became more and more obvious, he approached the bed, his voice became hoarse because he was worried about his mother, and asked, "Doctor Ning, what is the condition of my mother...... Whether...... Is it difficult to cure? ”
Ning Bai looked at Helian Jin Yuan and said, "Third Highness, the most important thing at the moment is to find the Sorrowful Flower, the queen's illness can only be cured by it."
Helian Jinyuan hurriedly said: "Fu Wei Hua, Lord Ying is already looking for it, and he will arrive in Suiyang in a few days."
"That'll be fine."
Ning Bai walked to the round table, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the prescription, "Third Highness, Ning Bai has something to say, I can only tell you alone." ”
Helian Jin looked at the palace maids in the palace from afar and ordered, "You go down first."
The palace maids obeyed Helian Jinyuan's orders and withdrew from the hall.
Ning Bai put down his pen lightly, looked at Helian Jinyuan, and said, "Third Highness, the wall has ears, let's get closer and listen."
Helian Jin walked closer to Ning Bai as Ning Bai said, "What does Doctor Ning want to say?" ”
Ning Bai lowered his voice and said softly: "The queen's illness is not groundless, but someone poisoned the queen."
"Poisoned?" Helian Jin looked at Ning Bai in surprise, then calmed down and asked, "What did Doctor Ning say?"
"The family teacher's medical skills are high, famous far and near, and there is no poison of soul incense, and acupuncture can be suppressed for several days. On the day of entering the palace, he probed the pulse for the queen, and his condition did not decrease but worsened, and he thought that it was just that the queen inhaled soulless incense, and the weight was heavy, and then he stayed in front of the bed day and night, and his condition improved slightly, but he only left for one night, and the queen became like this at this time. ”
Ning Bai slowly got up and closed the medicine box, "What Ning Bai said is all known to Ning Bai, what will His Royal Highness do after that?" Ning Bai didn't know, Ning Bai only cared about the queen's condition. ”
Ning Bai said this, to put it bluntly, let the Third Highness not involve her, she is a person who wants to live a good life, and she must not have anything to do with the palace.
Helian Jinyuan was silent, and leaned over slightly to bow to Ning Bai.
Ning Bai returned the salute as he did and picked up the medicine box, "Third Highness, the queen's illness, Ning Bai still needs to discuss with the family teacher and say goodbye first." ”
Helian Jin said from afar: "Doctor Ning walks slowly."
Ning Bai was walking alone on the way back to the imperial pharmacy, and saw a woman in elegant clothes coming from a distance, followed by several palace maids, bowing their heads, not daring to speak loudly.
Seeing that he was approaching, it was impossible to turn his head and leave, so he had to bow deeply and say, "I've seen a nobleman."
"Doctor Ning doesn't have to be polite."
The voice was a little familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had heard it, and I knew that her surname was Ning.
"Thank you, nobleman."
Ning Bai raised his head, only to realize that the noble person in his mouth was the concubine who had met in a hurry that day.
"This palace is Your Majesty's jade beauty, living in Ling Yuan Pavilion, Doctor Ning can remember it."
Ning Bai's heart was full of doubts, when did she Ning Bai become so eye-catching?
No matter what, Ning Bai could only reply: "Ning Bai wrote it down."
I thought it would be good to write it down, but who knew that the jade beauty still refused to let go of Ning Bai.
"Ning Bai is Dr. Ning's original name?" Jade Beauty asked.
Hearing this, Ning Bai unconsciously became nervous, and a little sweat quietly broke out on his forehead, but he still stabilized his mind and said calmly: "Ning Bai is the name given by the family teacher, and he has been this name since he was a child."
Yu Meiren smiled with relief and said, "This palace just looks at Dr. Ning like an old man, so I think it's a misunderstanding."
Ning Bai smiled stupidly: "It's a misunderstanding, it's good to make it clear" and said: "That old man will definitely meet the beauty, and the beauty doesn't have to be in a hurry."
The jade beauty suddenly looked at Ning Bai and smiled faintly: "This palace believes that there will be that day."
After speaking, the jade beauty crossed Ning Bai and walked towards the palace gate at the other end.
Ning Bai inexplicably walked alone again, and couldn't help but think in his heart: That jade beauty is indeed a little faintly familiar, but she just can't remember it.
The dark night of late autumn came early, and from time to time, the palace was brightly lit, and the guards who patrolled the night walked back and forth with lanterns. Around the corner, a saber suddenly appeared in the place where the lantern was shining, thinking that the assassin had entered the palace, and the guards were frightened to quickly draw their swords one by one.
The leading guards felt that something was wrong, after all, in the palace, no assassin dared to walk in the palace with a swagger.
The leading guard shouted, "Who are you to dare to appear here with a sword?"
Xu Feng took out a token from his arms in the dark, and the leading guard slowly approached the token with a lantern, his body couldn't help but be shocked, and then he saw the person behind the token, under the dim candlelight, the black eagle-like eyes stared at the leading guard, and the leading guard threw away the lantern and hurriedly knelt down. Seeing this, several new guards behind him also knelt down.
The leading guard trembled and said, "Slave...... The slave doesn't know if it's the second highness, and there are many ...... If you are offended, please forgive the Second Highness...... Forgive. ”
Xu Feng indifferently picked up the lantern, stabilized the candlestick in the lantern, and held it with one hand, illuminating the narrow corner.
When the evening breeze blew, Helian Jin Yi stepped on his gold-embroidered black boots and stepped into the hazy candlelight.
