Volume 1: A Scene of Glitz and Delusion Chapter 45: Jade Bone Ointment
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood, Weichen didn't mean that."
"If not, it's best, let's go, follow me to Kunning Palace."
The queen mother was thinking nonsense at the moment, because she sent someone to inquire about the emperor's presence in the Heart Cultivation Palace today, and learned that the emperor was not busy, but he did not come to see her.
"The emperor has arrived!!"
A treacherous voice penetrated every palace wall of Kunning Palace, and the queen was in good spirits, but after all, she had a sick face, and before she got up from the bed, Long Jiangye came in with Mu Jiu in stride.
"The concubine asks the emperor for peace."
As usual, the dragon will not show anything different.
This is also to avoid the embarrassment of the queen, if this kind of thing is exposed, the queen's face will have nowhere to put it.
"Look at you, you're not in good shape. By the way, your mother entered the palace today, and I really didn't care about it after a busy day. ”
Xie Huanting smiled sweetly, snuggled in the emperor's arm, and said with a shy: "Your Majesty, you can allow your mother to enter the palace to see the concubine, the concubine is already very happy, and there is nothing else to ask for." ”
While speaking, the palace maid who served tea to the emperor brought tea at this moment, and the emperor gently pushed the queen away, carefully looked at the palace maid who served tea to him, and said as if unintentionally: "You little girl is handsome." ”
Hearing this, the auspicious person at the end of the water almost dropped the plate in his hand, and knelt down in panic: "Your Majesty." ”
"Sure enough, it's the people around the queen, you know the rules, but you're dressed too plainly."
When these two sentences were spoken, the queen's face turned pale, and her originally somewhat sickly face was even worse now, but it was not easy to say anything because of the emperor's presence.
Mu Jiu stood with Ye Qing and muttered in a low voice: "The emperor is true, the queen just had a worse face after she was sick, and she set her sights on others so quickly." ”
It was this sentence that made Ye Qing's face look unpleasant, and she looked at the queen anxiously.
"Your Majesty, don't bother the slave maid, the slave and maid serve the queen in their duty, and don't dare to think too much."
This maid's desire to survive is strong, the emperor is praising her in these two sentences, and it is also in front of the queen, she is afraid that she will have a hard time in the future.
"I am telling the truth, and besides, you serve the queen with all your heart, and I don't know it. Hurry up. ”
The maid got up and cautiously retreated behind Ye Qing, and Mu Jiu whispered to the red-faced maid without worrying about it.
"You are blessed, the emperor has taken a fancy to you. And the emperor faces the queen every day, what do you say a man can be interested in a sick man with a bad face every day. ”
When the maid heard these words, she took a few steps back in fear, greatly widening the distance between her and Mu Jiu, and was deeply afraid that Mu Jiu's words would bring her some kind of murderous disaster.
Long Jiangye glanced at Mu Jiu, why hadn't he heard Mu Jiu speak, didn't he say that he showed interest in the palace maid, so he spoke?
Why is that the maid gone now, Mu Jiu hasn't spoken yet.
Thinking of this, Long Jiangye couldn't help but look at Mu Jiu, who nodded slightly, indicating that the matter had been completed.
The dragon turned the night back, carefully tucked the quilt for Xie Huanting, and then said: "I still have a few letters in the Heart Cultivation Palace, you rest early, and I will come to see you tomorrow." ”
"Yes, the concubine sends the emperor."
After the dragon general left in the night, Ye Qing walked quickly to the queen's side and told the queen all the two sentences that Fang Cai Mu Jiu had lowered his voice.
Xie Huanting's face turned pale all of a sudden after hearing this, and she grabbed Ye Qing's hand and asked, "You say, isn't Bengong's face ugly now?" ”
"Niangniang, don't worry, Niangniang, you are sick, and your face is naturally worse."
These words did not comfort Xie Huanting at all, but made her even more uneasy.
"That's it, that Mu Jiu has been serving by the emperor's side for so long, he must be able to guess some of the emperor's intentions, and the emperor must be disgusted with the sick face of this palace."
"Niangniang, don't be careful, the emperor doesn't have it."
"Mu Jiu and the emperor are both men, so they must know the emperor's mind better. Mu Jiu is right, what man wants to see a sick person all day long. ”
After saying these words nervously, Xie Huanting grabbed Ye Qing's arm and ordered: "Quick, go and decoct the medicine to the palace to drink." ”
Ye Qing nodded again and again: "Yes, the slave maid will go now, don't worry, queen." ”
The medicine has been boiling in this Kunning Palace, Ye Qing went out and brought the medicine in, the queen didn't play any tricks this time, and drank the somewhat bitter medicine in one go.
"Niangniang, slow down, this illness is not in a hurry,"
Ye Qing was very anxious, afraid that the lady would be choked by the medicine.
Such actions all fell in Mo Nan's eyes, and Mo Nan's eyes were full of curiosity, what Mu Jiu said, the queen hurriedly wanted to drink medicine, and she was no longer willing to use bitter tricks to show the emperor's care and mercy.
"Your Majesty, the queen has already medicated."
Long Jiangye's eyes were half-narrowed, and his gaze fell heavily on Mu Jiu's body, Mu Jiu saw the emperor's unkind eyes, and knelt down with a weak heart.
Then he weakly shouted to the emperor.
"Can you tell me now? I was in the queen's bedroom, and I didn't see you speak. ”
Mu Jiu twisted it for a moment, and then said: "It's not that Fang Cai Weichen didn't speak, but he just spoke quietly, so the emperor didn't hear it." ”
"What the hell is that?"
Mu Jiu licked his lips and tongue uneasily before replying.
"Wechen said that no man is willing to face a sick man with a bad face every day."
As soon as he said this, Long Jiangye actually smiled, yes, he didn't expect such a simple sentence.
"Mu Jiu, you turned around and took the queen's board, don't blame anyone."
Mu Jiu's face was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Weichen will not go to the queen's palace easily, and the queen has no chance to give Weichen a board." ”
"But I didn't hear you speak to the queen at the time?"
Wei Chen deliberately stood behind Ye Qing at that time and said these two sentences for Ye Qing to hear. Ye Qing is the queen's confidant, and if he told Ye Qing to know, Ye Qing would definitely tell the queen. And if Weichen spoke directly in the palace, it would definitely be disrespectful to the queen, so Weichen borrowed Ye Qing's mouth to listen to the queen, which can also make the queen more convincing."
"Hmph, you're calculating."
This is indeed the case, even Long Jiangye has to admire Mu Jiu's quick thinking.
"And the emperor, Weichen is all worried about you, the queen's illness is cured, you can also handle the government with peace of mind, and the Xie family can also rest assured, this is a lot of things, you don't reward Weichen, why do you want to scare Weichen so much."
This is quite aggrieved, and those who don't know think that the emperor bullied Mu Jiu.
"You're smart."
"Thank you for the emperor's compliment."
Long Jiangye smiled sarcastically: "That's it, just now you talked about awards, let's say, what do you want?" ”
"Wechen has nothing else to ask for, it's just that there are many classics in the Scripture Pavilion, and Wechen has been itching for a long time and hasn't seen each other."
"Oh? Aiqing wants to get the key back to the Scripture Pavilion? ”
Speaking of this, Long Jiangye glanced at the Duke of Chu, and the Duke of Chu quickly understood and went to take the key to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
"Yes, Wechen is also sharing your worries for the emperor, what books do you want, what books do you want, Wechen can take them for you at any time,"
"If you can speak wisely, you can spare me when you say it."
Gonggong Chu came in at this time, and said politely to Mu Jiu: "My lord, this is the key to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, you take it,"
Mu Jiu raised his hand and took it: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then the emperor, if there is nothing to do with Weichen, Weichen will retire first. ”
Mu Jiu was relieved when he returned to his own territory, if he really suffered from the queen's board because of this sentence in the future, there was no way, it was indeed she who said that the queen was a sick man, this was disrespectful to the queen of a country, and she was beaten by herself.
"Your Excellency, you're back."
Xiao Xuan took the windbreaker jacket that Mu Jiu took off and said happily.
"Well, what's wrong?"
"My lord, this is the one sent by Imperial Doctor Zhen after dinner today, and it is called Jade Bone Cream. It is said that it is much better than ordinary plasters, and the scar removal has a miraculous effect, and it can generate muscle and jade bones. ”
Mu Jiu happily took the medicine bottle, clutched the thing tightly in the palm of his hand like a girl who had broken spring, and asked softly, "Then why did he leave?" ”
"Doctor Yan can't live in the palace, and if you don't go out of the palace gate to get the key, that's a big crime."
"Also, he shouldn't be on the night shift today, so he should have left the palace early."
Mu Jiu sat on the edge of the dresser, and after opening the porcelain vase, a fragrant aroma filled the entire room in an instant.
Mu Jiu applied it lightly, this medicine is cool and easy to absorb, it does have a miraculous effect, and after applying it, you can clearly feel that the skin is extraordinarily radiant.
"My lord, this medicine is so good, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of silver."
Xiao Xuan made the bed for Mu Jiu, smelling the fragrance of the medicine from some distance, and said something unintentionally.
"yes, where did he get all this money?"
Mu Jiu muttered in a low voice, taking this matter to heart.
She knew that the imperial doctor's salary was not very high, and Luo Mo was not the kind of person who would accept bribes, so she felt that Yi Mo's financial resources should not be able to afford such a valuable medicine.
And when she was just carried out of the prison, the bowls of plasters that Luo Mo made for her were all excellent medicines, and they were definitely not the medicinal materials of the Tai Hospital.
Moreover, the medicinal materials sent by the Tai Hospital and the medicinal materials given by Mu Jiu privately were all separated.
Every time the medicinal materials from the Tai Hospital were delivered, Mu Jiu had to personally inspect them, and they were just some ordinary medicines.
And the plasters that Luo Mo gave in private were all high-grade products, not something that a little imperial doctor could afford.
Mu Jiu's mind couldn't sleep all night because he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't fall asleep on the collapse over and over again.
Could it be that this Mo stole some of the medicinal materials from the Tai Hospital and went out to eat kickbacks?
Mu Jiu shook his head after thinking about it, feeling that Luo Mo was not that kind of person.
But I really couldn't figure this out, I was groggy, and it wasn't until the moon was on my eyebrows that Mu Jiu barely fell asleep.
