Chapter 216: Picking up medicinal herbs

Qing Mu heard the voice, paused slightly, raised his head, and was greeted by Mu Qi's dazzling smile, it turned out that this person could also laugh!

Suddenly her nose was sore, and she almost burst into tears, this palace is full of man-eating tigers, and there is no freedom outside the palace at all, although Zeng Huaqian and Qing Qingzhi will give her a small stumbling block every day, but she can easily deal with it, just like teasing her own cat.

But it's different here, although he is a medicine boy, he is similar to those palace maids and eunuchs, living at the feet of others, not knowing any of these people, and being bullied by them.

Now when I saw Mu Qi, I immediately felt very aggrieved.

Mu Qi didn't expect Qing Mu, who had always been strong, to cry, hesitated again and again, took out his embroidered handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Qing Mu.

Qing Mu was not hypocritical, stood up, took the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, wiped his tears fiercely, and then asked Mu Qi, "Why are you here?" ”

After asking, I found that I had asked a stupid question, Mu Qigui, as a general of a country, naturally has the right to enter and leave the palace freely!

Unexpectedly, Mu Qi still opened his mouth to explain, "My mother's physical discomfort is difficult to alleviate, some time ago, Nanjiang sent a batch of precious medicinal materials, mostly tonics, I came to get her some usable medicinal materials." ”

Qing Mu nodded, "Then you can go quickly!" Don't keep your mother waiting. As he spoke, he squatted down again to pick up the medicinal herbs.

Mu Qi looked at the sky, and then squatted down, following her example, and picked up the same medicinal herbs together, because his mother was weak, he still read some medical books, and it was not a problem to distinguish the medicinal materials.

Qing Mu watched his movements, and his heart warmed, but he still didn't want to delay his business, "I can come by myself, you can go quickly!" ”

"There's no hurry."

"Well, well!"

Inside the princess's bedchamber.

"Princess, Yao Li from the Tai Hospital is here!"

Qiu'er opened the bead curtain and walked in, and reported to Pingyang, who waved his hand back from the people on the side, "Let him come in!" ”

She couldn't wait to know what Qingmu had become like when she was bullied? It's a pity that she has been busy making medicinal food for her father recently, so she didn't see it with her own eyes.

Yao Li walked in slowly and methodically, and saluted Pingyang, "Princess, today Zhang Yuanling personally punished Qing Mu, and the medicinal materials in the courtyard are enough for him to pick up alone for a while, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat tonight's meal." ”

Although he was beaten by Qing Mu, it was worth it to let him be punished in the end.

Pingyang became interested when she heard this, "You mean she was still picking up medicinal herbs in the yard at this time?" ”

Yao Li nodded, "Yes, there are so many medicinal herbs, how can he finish picking them up at once, it is estimated that he will be able to get it tomorrow morning." ”

"That's a good job! Qiu'er, let's go, let's see the excitement. ”

Pingyang motioned to Qiu'er to give the reward to Yao Li, "This is a reward for you!" ”

Yao Li put more than a dozen silver ingots into his sleeves, nodded and bowed, "The grass people have thanked the princess!" ”

After that, he led the way for Pingyang in front, in order to let the people in the Tai Hospital see that he had Princess Pingyang as a backer, and everyone would have to follow him in the future.

Qing Mu swept all the medicinal materials together with a clean broom, and then put a few bamboo baskets together, sat on the ground, picked up the medicinal materials, and couldn't help but tease: "Mu Qi, did you say that your subordinates would drop their jaws in fear when they saw you like this now?"

She had heard from Dark Fourteen that Muzi's iron-blooded methods were unrelenting in the training of the soldiers in the barracks.

Mu Qi turned his head to look at her, and suddenly he had a bad idea and stuffed a slice of ginseng into her mouth.

Seeing Qing Mu's bitter face, he didn't want to spit it out, and he didn't want to swallow it, he actually felt funny.

"Good! You're going to play pranks! Qing Mu said and tickled at Mu Qi, anyway, there is not much left of this medicinal herb, take your time.

Muzi dodged and fired back.

As soon as Pingyang entered the courtyard, he saw Mu Qi and Qing Mu playing with each other, and his eyes suddenly burst into flames, this fox spirit hooked up with her bamboo brother again.

However, a good royal upbringing kept her calm, and it seemed that she was still the princess who was down-to-earth and generous.

"Brother Zhu, why didn't you come to Pingyang after entering the palace?" Pingyang pretended to be affectionate and helped Mu Qi up and leaned against him.

Mu Qi pushed Pingyang away without a trace, as if he was afraid of being misunderstood by Qingmu.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is well."

He thought he had made it clear to her, but who knew that she still hadn't changed in the slightest, and when he saw him, he posted it.

Pingyang stomped his feet, endured for a while, and put on a smile again, "Brother Zhu, did you reject Pingyang because of this fox spirit?" ”

Qing Mu, who was standing on the sidelines watching the play, was innocently labeled as a vixen, and suddenly felt a little helpless, even if she didn't cause trouble, things would come to her door with long legs!

"The princess is cautious, there is no dragon yang fetish in the bottom!"

She still entered the hospital in the way of disguising herself as a man, but she couldn't be disturbed by this princess's words, otherwise she would have insisted in vain these days.

Who knew that when Pingyang heard this, he actually laughed, and his eyes signaled to Qiu'er, wanting her to step forward and tear off Qingmu's hairband.

She naturally has to maintain her image in front of Mu Qi, so of course she can't do it herself.

But Qing Mu is Qing Xu Renye, and immediately dodged Qiu'er's hand sideways.

"Girl, I'm afraid it's not right to do that! I don't want to marry you. ”

One sentence made the people who gathered around to watch the excitement laugh, Qiu'er blushed and didn't dare to attack, so she had to go back to Pingyang.

"This little boy is really sharp-toothed!"

Pingyang hugged his hand and glanced at her, but he didn't expect this Qingmu to have a few moments, it seems that he can only slowly clean her up in the future!

"Princess, why are you here on this big night?"

Pingyang was gagged, and pretended to be calm and said, "Princess Ben, what are you doing with medicinal herbs for your father?" You're a little apprentice, and you're still in charge of Princess Ben? ”

Qing Mu raised her eyebrows slightly, looking indifferent, "No, it's just that this early spring, the night is cold, and the princess Jingui's body should not suffer from the cold." ”

Pingyang was so angry that he pouted, pulled Qiu'er and left.

Yao Li, who was hiding on the side, saw that something was wrong, fled in a panic, and accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground.

"Who?!"

Muzi shouted when he heard this, and only a cat meow could be heard in the bushes.

"Hey, general, you're too sensitive, this is the palace, at this hour, how can there be anyone. Okay, I'll clean up the rest of the medicinal herbs, you go back quickly, the eldest princess is still waiting. ”

Mu Qi pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, you pay attention to yourself." ”

"Hmm."

Pingyang returned to the dormitory, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he smashed all the furnishings in the house, the fine porcelain was shattered to the ground, and the little palace maid lowered her head to pick up the broken porcelain, trembling and not daring to make a sound.

"Early tomorrow morning, go and call Yao Li's bastard thing to the palace!"

"Yes, don't be angry, princess, let's rest tonight."

Qiu'er glanced at the mess in the house, and felt really helpless.

Early in the morning of the second day, Qiu'er led Yao Li to Pingyang, Yao Li kept his head down, and his eyes didn't dare to look at him at all.

After a night, Binh Duong regained some of his senses, but he still had anger on his face.

"Yesterday, Qing Mu was with His Royal Highness the Prince, why didn't you report it?"

caused her to lose face in front of Brother Zhu, and a good game of chess was so rotten on the chessboard!

Seeing this, Yao Li immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, before he raised his head tremblingly and spoke, "Princess, the villain doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down!" The villain was busy telling the princess the good news, and I rushed over as soon as Qing Mu was punished. ”

What he said was true, and he rushed over non-stop in order to receive merit at that time.

Pingyang's eyes narrowed, "Are you blaming the princess?" ”

"The villain doesn't dare! I hope the princess will see! Yao Li hurriedly crawled to the ground, not daring to raise his head, for fear that he would be disposed of by Pingyang in the next moment.

Although he had only arrived at the Tai Hospital for a short time, he still knew about Princess Pingyang's torture methods, and he didn't know how he had lost his mind, so he agreed to her conditions.

Pingyang stroked the dankou on his hand, the bright red nails were like bright blood, "This princess will give you another chance!" If you mess up again, we'll throw you into the moat to feed the fish! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The villain must have ruined Qing Mu this time! Yao Li replied again and again.

"That's what you said, I hope you can do it, get out of here!"

"Yes, yes...... The villain must do a good job! ”

When Yao Li walked out, his legs couldn't stop shaking.

All this is given by Qing Mu, he will definitely not let him go!

Qing Mu was busy until the second half of the night before going to sleep, and was called up by Zhang Yuanling in the morning to teach again, and then was inexplicably sent to the cold palace for consultation.

On the fifteenth day of every month, the Tai Hospital will send someone to the cold palace to consult once, but everyone does not want to come, for fear of being contaminated with the bad luck of the cold palace.

There was a little brother who had a good relationship with her, and when he learned that she was sent to the cold palace for consultation, he showed a sympathetic expression. Only when she arrived did she know what it meant, this cold palace was not a place for people to live at all, there were dead branches and leaves everywhere, cobwebs entangled, and those women were either emaciated or crazy.

As soon as I entered the door, I met two women fighting with each other, both of them were in their thirties, one of them was a woman in an apricot-colored shirt, and she shouted, "Bold slave, this palace is the queen, and she dares to commit a crime." ”

Unexpectedly, the other laughed out loud and pushed her to the ground, "This palace is the queen, hahaha......"

This scene made Qing Mu tremble, ancient women were so sad, when they were favored, they could be more glorious than anyone else, but now they are like broken flowers and willows, lifeless.

Qing Mu threw the medicine box on the ground with a "snap", stirring up a cloud of dust, these people are not physically amiss at all, but their hearts are like ashes, just sitting and waiting for death!

At this time, a person came out of the side room, carrying a wooden bucket in his hand, which was full of sewage, walked in three steps and two steps, came to Qing Mu, and without saying anything, he poured the bucket of water on her.

Qing Mu didn't expect this, he couldn't dodge, he was soaked, and he still smelled foul.

The white clothes are full of stains, and they are very embarrassed!

This person is the Liangdi Qin Nan who was by his side when the emperor was still the prince, when the emperor ascended the throne, he was among the four concubines, Qin Nan is actually a true temperament, and he will not intrigue, so he was framed by others to such a point, and was demoted to the cold palace by the emperor.

These are what Qing Mu learned from the chatter of those senior brothers after he came to the Tai Hospital.

"Go back and tell your master that the people in the cold palace have settled down and guarded themselves, if you send someone to test it again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The sisters in this cold palace are crazy and stupid, and her scalp is numb when she sees it. Although she is also down, no one is allowed to bully them! The man sent spies one after another, and she was afraid that the sisters would one day turn around and come back and tell the world her secret!

Looking at Qing Mu's stunned appearance, Qin Nan couldn't help but complain, "Why did she send such a stupid person?" ”

A sallow woman next to her stood up, "Sister, it's useless to talk more, just drive him out." ”

So, before Qing Mu could react, the person had already been thrown out along with the medicine box, and the heavy door was closed, and the dust on the side of the door fell, choking her violently.

This cold palace is indeed a terrifying place!

Mu Qi stayed in the house for a few days, thinking about what happened that day, he couldn't help frowning, why as long as he thought of Qing Mu being wronged and shed tears, his heart was depressed, very uncomfortable, he was never a person who easily suffered from mood swings.

Was it just because it was rare to see her so vulnerable?

"General, as you expected! The spies we planted next to the Winged King are dead! Dark Fourteen hurried in, panting as he stood still.

"Dead? Not for the Winged King? Mu Qi couldn't figure it out, since he was dead, who was the person who connected with them?

Looking at Mu Qi's deep eyes, Dark Fourteen nodded, "Yes, one of them couldn't stand the torture and told the truth, but he was still killed by the Wing King, and the person who connected us may be the Wing King's people!" ”

If the general hadn't been vigilant and asked him to send someone to Yizhou to investigate, I was afraid that he wouldn't have found out that there was something wrong with their spies.

Mu Qi put his hand on the table, his fingers lightly clasped the tabletop, and thought for a moment before speaking, "Dark Fourteen, let Qi Ye withdraw!" I've got my own arrangements on the Wing King's side. ”

Since something happened to the spies, the Wing King will definitely follow the vine, and if he finds their traces, he must erase the traces as soon as possible.

"Yes!"

Dark Fourteen left in response, leaving Mu Qi alone in the room, picked up the grinding ink on the side and polished it in the inkstone, wrote a few words on the paper, called the carrier pigeon, and passed the letter out.

Let's hope Aya Luo won't let herself down!

When Wu Hongzhang was sitting in the courtyard taking a nap, Qing Mu walked in with a heavy body, heard the movement, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Qing Mu looking embarrassed.

"Qingmu, are you okay?! How did you get this way? ”

The people who usually go to the cold palace have been kicked out at most, and they haven't been so embarrassed like him!

Qing Mu threw the medicine box on the ground, and sat on the side a little decadently, a little puzzled in his heart, why they were so resistant to outsiders, and before they said a word, they started directly.

"Do you know about the cold palace?"

Wu Hongzhang shook his head, saying that he didn't know, although he was the son of the head of the courtyard and could come and go freely in this palace, but who would inquire about the cold palace if he was fine.

"Blind your identity!" Qing Mu said angrily, then got up and went back to the house, there was still a little cold in the spring, she had to quickly change her wet clothes.

Wu Hongzhang was a little confused, but he still picked up the medicine box that Qing Mu threw down, and when he first got along, he felt that Qing Mu was a person with extremely high medical talent, and he had to study hard with him.

When Zhang Hongzhi, the leader of the hospital, saw Qing Mu coming back, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he underestimated him!

Looking through the cold tea, his thoughts drifted back to the day before.

"Zhang Yuanling, this punishment is really good, but it's just rubbing the skin and it's not painful."

Yao Li pushed open the door and walked in, looked at Zhang Hongzhi standing in front of the window, and smiled maliciously, but he didn't let him see it.

Zhang Hongzhi glanced at Yao Li, turned around and sat down at the desk, looking at his face full of calculations, very disgusted.

"What are you going to do?"

Yao Li poked his head out to check if there were people around, and only closed the door after making sure that there was no one around, "I'm here to talk to you about business!" And it's a sure-fire business! ”

If he wasn't afraid that Qing Mu would still have the ability to turn over in the end, he wouldn't want to find someone to cooperate.

"What business do I have to talk to you about! I don't have time to pay attention to you, let's get out! Zhang Hongzhi didn't raise his head, and his eyes were staring at the medical books on the desk.

The queen asked him to mix some calm spices, but he hadn't made them yet, but he didn't have the time to mess around with him.

Normally, he was already benevolent and righteous, but if he hadn't seen him get closer to the princess that day and punished Qing Mu that day, he would have wanted to drive this villain out together.

Yao Li didn't mind his behavior, and still sat steadily, "Imperial Doctor Zhang, aren't you blushing at the position of the head of this hospital? After all, if you are conscientious and abide by your duty to do things for the nobles, the position of the head of the academy should have belonged to you a long time ago. ”

When it came to the key point, he stopped, and he didn't go on until Zhang Hongzhi said "continue" in a deep voice.

"Qing Mu's medical talent, you should be able to see that if the head of the Wu Academy knows about Qing Mu's existence, according to that old stubborn character, Qing Mu may not be the next head of the hospital!"

These words are a dose of fierce medicine, which completely stimulated Zhang Hongzhi's unwillingness.

"What do you mean?"

"Princess Pingyang is the emperor's favorite daughter, the princess doesn't like this Qingmu, because he is too close to His Royal Highness the Prince, get rid of him, please the princess, naturally please the emperor, Longyan Dayue, the opportunity for promotion will not come? So, do you do this business or not? ”

Yao Li saw that Zhang Hongzhi was a little shaken, ignored his pale face, and said his plan, and then sat quietly, waiting for his reaction.

He did not believe that he was willing to live under others for a long time, and that this condition was so tempting that it was impossible for him not to agree.

"This plan is too risky, can you guarantee that nothing will go wrong?!"

"Heh, if you want to stand in a high position, how can you not use some means. If you don't want to take risks, just wait for Qing Mu to take over as the head of Wu Yuan in the future. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Hongzhi stood up suddenly, "Okay! I promise you! ”

How could he let a yellow-haired boy snatch the position that should belong to him, Qing Mu's stumbling block is just an apprentice, and what kind of storm can he set off.

Yao Li smiled, and when he successfully got rid of Qing Mu and completed the things that the princess had explained, he went out of the palace and asked Zhang Hongzhi to write a letter of recommendation and go to Yaojitang to be a chief doctor, without being constrained by anyone, it was not an easy matter.

After experiencing the current thing, fame and fortune are far less important to him than this life, he could have asked the princess to let him leave the palace like this, but it was because of He Qingmu that he was punished by the princess like this, and he must avenge this revenge!

After the two reached an agreement, Yao Li got up and said goodbye! Although this matter has been planned, it is not in a hurry, and it still needs a little east wind!

At night, the night came as promised like a fine net, Qing Mu climbed to the roof and sit, looking at the bright lights in this palace, but there was no smell of people, I couldn't help but think of the time in Suzhou, and I didn't know what happened to Mu Shan, and the stupid boy of Wu Imperial Doctor outside the palace gate, without her, it is estimated that she will be happy to tease Xiaocui every day!

Thinking about it, somehow, I wanted to go to the cold palace to take a look, it was so simple, although it was spring in March, but the spring cold was still extremely cold.
