CHAPTER XXVI
Ning Bai treated the wound on his hand back in the carriage and barely stopped the bleeding. She thought that this knife could be regarded as cutting off her past relationship with Ying Qi. In short, Ying Qi just had to be his master, and the master only gave her a year to find Axue, whether she found it or not, she had to resign and return to the mountain.
Ning Bai lay in the carriage for a nap, the body shook, although the exhaustion of the body was aggravated, but he was not asleep, and heard the shouts of the hawkers along the way, many of the sounds of the cars when the vehicles were staggered, as well as the clapping of hands and the sound of the slender and crispy customers in the attic......
Outside, it was snowing quietly, not much, but big enough to hold an umbrella, and the most of it accumulated on the stone pavements and the eaves that sheltered from the rain and cold.
Until the carriage drove outside the palace gate, the little servant driving called into the carriage: "Imperial Doctor Ning, it's outside the palace gate."
Xu took a long nap, was a little dizzy when he got up, and was silent for a while, and then got out of the carriage with the medicine box.
The snow kept falling, spreading a thick layer on the ground, and Ning Bai walked one footprint at a time, and the ground was extremely stable.
Ning Bai handed the jade plate into the palace, and Fu Cheng, who was on duty, already knew about the Imperial Physician Ning who saved the queen's life. Ning Bai and he just nodded and smiled, and then staggered.
As he walked, he saw the Second Highness standing under the palace wall, wrapped in a tight robe, revealing one hand, holding a paper umbrella, and a thin layer of snow accumulated on the paper umbrella.
Xu Feng hid in the middle of nowhere and watched quietly, His Royal Highness had been waiting here for a long time, holding an umbrella, and the snow on the umbrella had accumulated several times, but it was cleaned up by His Royal Highness.
Ning Bai stepped forward and saluted, "The lower official has seen the Second Highness." ”
Helian Jianyi took a step closer to Ning Bai, the paper umbrella in his hand moved forward unconsciously, and asked in a low voice: "Imperial Physician Ning promised His Royal Highness to go to the Zhengqing Palace once a day to treat His Royal Highness's illness, but today he left the palace silently, can Imperial Physician Ning think clearly about what to explain?"
Ning Bai replied, respectful and serious, not as slippery as in the past, "The lower official left the palace, it was a temporary errand for other imperial doctors, and he did not inform the Second Highness in advance, it was the mistake of the lower official, I hope His Royal Highness will forgive him." ”
Helian Jinyi retracted his gaze, looked into the distance as if he was unsatisfied, and said, "That's it, I'll remember to inform His Highness next time."
Ning Bai bowed slightly and responded, "Yes."
After finishing speaking, Helian Jinyi handed the paper umbrella to Ning Bai, "You come to hold an umbrella for His Royal Highness." ”
Ning Bai replied lightly "yes", and unconsciously stretched out the injured hand, stretched out halfway, then withdrew it and replaced it with another hand. Just as he was about to take the paper umbrella in Helian Jinyi's hand, Ning Bai's voice suddenly sounded above Ning Bai's head, "How did you hurt that hand?" ”
Ning Bai silently put his hands behind his back, raised his head, looked into Helian Jinyi's eyes, smiled indifferently, and said, "It's just a small injury caused by the broken teacup, Your Highness Xie cares."
Helian Jin Yi was silent for a moment before he said: "Imperial Doctor Ning is a person who practices medicine, and naturally knows how to deal with wounds, and it is useless for His Highness to say more." The road is slippery on a snowy day, and His Royal Highness sends Imperial Doctor Ning. ”
Ning Bai said dumbly, the Second Highness said so, what else does she have to refute, send it! There is no drop of meat either.
Helian Jinyi and Ning Bai were parallel, the snow never stopped, and the paper umbrella was not big, so it could barely accommodate two people, and the clothes on one shoulder of both of them were wet with snow.
Ning Bai thought that the body of the Second Highness was weaker than him, and the illness on his body could not stand the cold, so out of good intentions, he said: "The Second Highness will be sent here, it is better to go back and rest early to avoid the cold."
Helian Jin Yi walked nonchalantly, "If His Royal Highness doesn't take action to curry favor with Imperial Physician Ning, I'm afraid that Imperial Physician Ning will forget His Royal Highness again next time." ”
Ning Bai smiled reluctantly, "How dare the lower officials, His Royal Highness has a noble status, if his clothes are wet by the snow and soaked in the cold, it will be inappropriate." ”
Helian Jianyi glanced sideways at his shoulder, and didn't bother to get it, but silently moved a step towards Ning Bai.
Helian Jianyi came quietly, the two were close, Ning Bai was excited, and subconsciously leaned down. It's just that the empty hand, which sometime came out of the open robe, grabbed Ning Bai's wrist accurately, and pulled it lightly, moving quickly and accurately, as if he had practiced many times in private to be so proficient.
Helian Jianyi dragged like this, the two of them were so close that they couldn't see a single gap, and the paper umbrella magically completely accommodated the two.
Helian Jinyi easily clamped Ning Bai's wrist and let her break free. Ning Bai was not a strong person, his cheeks flushed and he raised his head and asked, "Second Highness, what does this mean?" ”
Helian Jinyi said flatly: "This is the way to make you and me happy."
Hearing this, Ning Bai blushed and said steadily: "It's the lower official who is not thoughtful, please let go of His Royal Highness!"
Ning Bai only heard Helian Jianyi's "um", but he didn't let go of his hand for a long time, "Imperial Physician Ning always said that His Royal Highness has a noble status, so I don't know how much Imperial Physician Ning has a monthly salary, if His Royal Highness is hurt in the slightest, will Imperial Physician Ning be able to afford it?" ”
"Xiaguan ......" Ning Bai was about to say something, but was interrupted by Helian Jinyi, "The imperial doctor is only an eight-grade petty official, and his monthly salary is less than eighty taels, and his Royal Highness has a daughter's body, it seems that Imperial Doctor Ning wants to use his whole life to compensate His Royal Highness." ”
Ning Bai was really speechless, and said helplessly: "If you hurt Your Royal Highness, the lower official is afraid that he will not be able to afford it for the rest of his life, so the lower official ...... It depends on the second highness. ”
Suddenly, the corners of Helian Jinyi's lips hooked slightly, and said, "One life is not enough, and then the next life will be until Imperial Doctor Ning is finished."
Ning Bai raised his eyes and glanced at Helian Jinyi, his handsome face was close at hand, he looked like a celestial person, and shook his head, why did he always talk about debt collection and become so vulgar! After that, she couldn't stick the needle as lightly as before.
Helian Jianyi caught a glimpse of Ning Bai's unconvinced eyes, and was very relieved in his heart.
Ning Bai returned to the Imperial Doctor's Office to continue studying herbal medicine, Helian Jinyi was on the way to send Ning Bai back to the Zhengqing Palace, the snow finally stopped, he collected the umbrella, dusted off the snow on the umbrella, and called Xu Feng: "Where did Imperial Doctor Ning go today?"
Xu Feng said: "Taishi Mansion." Xiao Anzi said that Lord Ying was sick in bed, and His Majesty sent the imperial doctor out of the palace to diagnose him. ”
Helian Jinyi remembered the injury on Ning Bai's hand, how could it be that he was also injured in the Taishi Mansion. The one in the Taishi Mansion, he knew some from the minister's mouth, but he was also a character. As he walked, he took a long breath and asked, "What is the movement of the guests in the palace today?"
Xu Feng said truthfully: "There is nothing wrong with the surface, but I always feel that there is something hidden?"
Helian Jinyi glanced at Xu Feng lightly, "That's her business." Later, he asked, "I asked you to inquire about the Southern Chu royal family before, but there is any news?"
Xu Feng followed the steps of His Royal Highness, leaned closer and whispered: "A few days ago, there was news that most of the royal family of Southern Chu was killed and injured in the past, and the heirs of the Emperor of Southern Chu were not prosperous.
Helian Jinyi said with affirmation, "What else?"
Xu Feng said: "There is also King Ning, the younger brother of the Emperor of Southern Chu, but he is also buried in his own mansion, and the rest are ...... Subordinates are incompetent! ”
Unconsciously, looking up was already the gate of the palace, Helian Jinyi dusted the snow on the umbrella more cleanly again, and said: "Seven days, check the palace clearly and come back!"
Xu Feng took the order and left the palace immediately.
Helian Jinyi took the umbrella, and as soon as he entered the room, he put it on the desk under the pear blossom picture, and the umbrella alone was not at all symmetrical and unsightly from a distance, but he liked to place it there.
In another part of the Zhengqing Palace, Rong Si informed Mu Guixue about her in the Taishi Mansion, Rong Si thought that the senior sister would be so angry that she scolded Ying Qi, but the senior sister just smiled faintly, "There is nothing on that paper, it's just that I just tried Ying Qi." ”
Rong Si said: "Try?"
Mu Guixue said: "Where is Ying Qi who I can control and can call." He's so arrogant, when will I find Ah Xin? "And...... It can't be dragged on like this! ”
Seeing Mu Guixue's determined appearance, Rong Si stopped talking, she always believed that everything that senior sister did had her own reason.
On the Qin Mansion, the people in the palace sent the bride's phoenix crown and hairpin jewelry to the Qin Mansion early, and after the New Year, it was the wedding of Qin Shuwan and Helian Jinyuan.
Helian Jin was crowned king and was the son of the queen. After Qin Shuwan is a heavy minister again, her brother Qin Weike is a future general. No one dares to have the courage to cheat, just the phoenix crown, it took several months for the skilled craftsmen in the palace to complete, and those clever and delicate jewelry were inlaid and polished, and it also took a lot of work.
Although Qin Shuwan's grandfather Qin Zhen is over the age of six, his temples are gray, and the back of his neck is a little rickety, his posture is still upright from the bones. He smiled with joy, with the obvious folds on his face, and smiled so simply and kindly.
Qin Wei was summoned to the palace today, and at this moment he was already in the mansion at night, took off his armor, and changed into his regular clothes.
Qin Zhen was old, but his voice was thick and powerful, "Your Majesty summoned you to the palace today?" ”
Qin Shuwan poured hot tea for the brother who sat down. Qin Wei took it and nodded: "Yes, the Wuman mission will arrive in the capital in a few days, and His Majesty has sent me to meet him."
Qin Zhen stroked his beard thoughtfully, "Your Majesty sent you, you have your own reason, you don't have to think about it." "Just because over the years, welcoming foreign missions has been a matter of civilian officials, and His Majesty sent military generals this time to take precautions.
Qin Wei responded, "Grandson knows." ”
Qin Shuwan instructed the attendants in the house to present the dinner, and said, "Brother must know it in his heart, and grandfather is at ease." I heard that the snow scene in the west of the city is beautiful recently, why don't you go with your grandson tomorrow to take a look? ”
Qin Zhen smiled and looked at Qin Shuwan, "It's okay, grandfather asked Wan'er to accompany her grandfather more before Wan'er got married." Looking at the phoenix crown and hairpin jewelry sent from the palace, he was happy and sad. Later, he looked at Qin Wei again, pretending to reproach, "And you, brother, if you don't protect Wan'er, the old man won't spare you!" ”
Qin Wei smiled rarely, "Grandfather's order, grandson does not dare to disobey." ”
Qin Shuwan hid her face and smiled, thinking about it, she hadn't had such a happy gathering for a long time.
