The magnificent palace was brightly lit, the cold wind was still howling, and the firelight illuminated the huge palace, and the nine-song corridor could hardly see anyone else except for the occasional passing inspection of the Imperial Forest Army.

The cold wind bypassed the high palace walls, and without the convergence of the day, it slapped unscrupulously in every part of the palace, resounding with a strange hum.

Jin Yuan carried the palace lamp handed by the chamberlain, braved the cold wind and walked towards the old emperor's bedroom, and when he met the patrolling Imperial Forest Army, he nodded and made way of the way.

He gathered his shirt and continued towards the emperor's bedchamber.

Hearing the eunuch's report, the old emperor leaned on the soft couch and pressed his temples tiredly, "Let him in." ”

The little eunuch went down to spread the word, and soon, Jin Yuan bowed down and walked in, saluting the old emperor, "Weichen see the emperor, the emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Without the addition of the dragon robe, the old emperor in a bed robe looked a little older than before.

He squinted at Jin Yuan, raised his hand slightly, and said, "Get up." ”

Jin Yuan saluted again, and then stood up respectfully.

"It's so late, what's the matter with Aiqing entering the palace?" The old emperor asked.

Thinking that Jin Yuan came to intercede for the matter of Meng Sui's imprisonment again, the old emperor was obviously impatient on his face.

Jin Yuan looked at the old emperor's face, but said: "Madame rushed to Daxing temporarily, and Weichen thought that Imperial Doctor Meng could cure the concubine's illness, so he didn't notify Madame to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but he didn't want to end up like this." ”

"A few days ago, Weichen sent a letter to his wife in an urgent manner, and after his wife learned the news, he rushed back overnight, and he arrived in Kyoto an hour ago."

Jin Yuan looked at the old emperor and arched his hand: "Now that Madame has returned to Beijing, she is worried about the condition of the side concubine, so she asked Weichen to enter the palace overnight to inform Your Majesty, and I am willing to ask Your Majesty's Grace and Quasi-Lady to enter the palace to see the side concubine." ”

Hearing that Ning Zhao had returned to Beijing, the old emperor's eyes widened slightly, and after Jin Yuan finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, and then said as usual: "Since Ning Zhao has returned, it is rare to have this thought, then let her enter the palace early tomorrow morning and see a doctor for the side concubine." ”

Ning Lian's illness really annoyed the old emperor.

Although Ning Jian was only the prince's concubine, she had been punished by the old emperor before because of the fourth princess Murong Jiao.

But punishment is punishment, after all, marrying into the royal family, there is still the blood of the emperor's heir in the belly, even if the old emperor himself doesn't care, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are also very concerned.

There are many daughters of ministers in the harem, if Ning Lian's matter is not handled well, and the ministers have thoughts of hurting them, I am afraid that the stable situation in the court will change.

and Murong Cheng.

This time, Murong Cheng was unusually insistent, others saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was affectionate and righteous, but the old emperor was like a mirror in his heart, it was nothing more than a means to use excuses to trap him.

But the matter is here, the old emperor just wants to solve it quickly, what Murong Cheng plans, as long as it does not exceed the old emperor's tolerance, he can still turn a blind eye.

After all, Murong Cheng came with merit, and this was a reward promised by the old emperor himself.

"Weichen Command!" Jin Yuan arched his hand.

When I returned to Shangshufu, it was almost the time of my son.

Jin Yuan walked into the main courtyard, saw that the room was still lit, his steps were faster, when his hand touched the door, he deliberately lightened it, the door was pushed open silently, Jin Yuan looked for Ning Zhao's figure, and finally his eyes fell on the soft couch near the window.

Ning Zhao lay on the soft collapse, curled up, Xu felt cold, the quilt covered his chin, and only a white and round forehead was exposed.

Jin Yuan walked lightly to Ning Zhao's side, and stopped when he took a step away from her, with the cold air dyed back from the outside, he was afraid of disturbing Ning Zhao, so he just stood like this and didn't move.

By the time his body was completely warm, Jin Yuan had been standing for a long time, and Ning Zhao was still sleeping quietly.

Ning Zhao hurried for days, Jin Yuan knew the hard work, sighed silently, reached out and carefully picked up the person, and walked towards the big bed.

When Ning Zhao woke up, there was no one around him, and he habitually called Qing Cicada, but no one paid attention to it for a long time, and Ning Zhao reacted that Qing Cicada was sick and was recuperating.

She sat up with the bed board, moved her sore neck, and then got dressed and got up, the little maid had already prepared hot water, and after Ning Zhao freshened up, she went to see the cicada first.

With the medicine prescribed by Ning Zhao himself, the wind and cold of the cicada improved quickly, and the fever subsided last night, and when he got up in the morning, he had no other discomfort except for some pain and hoarseness in his throat.

Ning Zhao let Qing Cicada rest, it was rare to be free, Qing Cicada stayed in the house to rest, and when he saw Ning Zhao coming, he quickly got up and went out, "Why is Miss here?" ”

After walking a few steps, the hoarse voice reminded Qing Cicada, she quickly paused again, raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and said to Ning Zhao: "Miss, don't come here, I'm still sick, it's cold now, the hospital is full of patients infected with wind cold, this season's wind cold is contagious, don't give you too sick." ”

Hearing this, Ning Zhao laughed and praised: "It's not in vain to help in the medical hall for so long, look at our cicadas, if we go out, we can be regarded as a barefoot doctor." ”

"Oops." Qing Cicada pouted in amusement and said, "Miss, don't make fun of me, it's always good to stay away anyway." ”

Ning Zhao herself is a doctor, and she pays attention to maintenance on weekdays, if she is infected so easily, then she doesn't have to go to the hospital.

"Alright." Ning Zhao walked to Qing Chan's side, and when he saw that Qing Cicada was about to hide again, he quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't move, let me see." ”

Qing Cicada didn't move, let Ning Zhao probe his pulse, and said in his mouth: "I'm much better, the fever has long since subsided, and there is nothing uncomfortable except for my throat." ”

Ning Zhao checked the pulse, nodded when he heard the words, withdrew his hand, and said, "Well, the pulse has also recovered, and the medicine will be drunk again, and it will be cured in two days at most." ”

As he was talking, Uncle Liu walked in from outside the hospital, and when he saw Ning Zhao, he trotted to Ning Zhao's side with a sigh of relief, and said a little breathlessly: "I heard the maid who served Mrs. said that Mrs. was awake, and Mrs. can call the old man easy to find." ”

"What's wrong with Uncle Liu?" There have been too many things happening in the past few days, Ning Zhao frowned, and when he saw Uncle Liu's appearance, he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart again.

Uncle Liu waved his hand, panted evenly, and then said: "When the lord left the house, he instructed that when the lady woke up, let me inform the lady that he was waiting for you in the palace." ”

Ning Zhao raised his eyebrows, then stood up, and blamed Jin Yuan a little in his heart, why didn't he tell her early that he could enter the palace, he could prepare in advance, and it would be better to enter the palace with him.

As if seeing Ning Zhao's thoughts, Uncle Liu smiled, followed Ning Zhao out, and said, "Madame, but you are complaining about your lordship?" ”

Ning Zhao didn't speak.

Uncle Liu laughed twice and sighed: "My lord and Mrs. are really smart, my lord knew that Mrs. would be angry when she heard this, let me tell Mrs. that Mrs. is in a hurry, and everything that follows has to depend on Mrs., Mrs. has to rest well, if you are tired, your adult will be distressed." ”

Ning Zhao paused, but his ears were full of red, and he didn't look back, and asked, "What did he tell you like this?" ”
