When Chu Ci arrived in the front hall, Li Zhong was so anxious that some fine sweat was already pouring out of his head, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "The slave asks for peace for the princess, and the princess is safe!" β
Chu Ci raised his hand, said "no courtesy", and then asked, "My father-in-law came to me in such a hurry, but the emperor's illness attacked?" β
Li Zhong saw that Chu Ci guessed his intention, and he didn't go around in circles, and directly told Emperor Jingming's current situation, "Since yesterday, the emperor's back has begun to itch, and there are already many red rashes on his body when he gets up this morning...... The imperial doctor in the palace has no way, so the emperor wants you to go into the palace to help him take a look......"
"I see!" Chu Ci nodded, "I'll enter the palace with you first!" As she spoke, she glanced back at Zhexia beside her and said, "You go to the pharmacy to help me get the medicine box, and then accompany me into the palace!" β
"Yes, girl!" When Zhexia heard this, Fu Shen answered, and retreated outside.
Her movements were very fast, and in less than half a cup of tea, she brought over the medicine box that Chu Ci usually went to the clinic, Chu Ci saw this, and no longer hesitated, gave Li Zhong a look, and the three of them walked out.
When they arrived at the palace, Emperor Jingming was about to lose patience.
Before Chu Ci stepped forward to salute, he couldn't wait to wave at her and said, "The princess doesn't need to be polite, just hurry up and see me...... Those rashes itch so badly that I can't even control myself......"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chu Ci didn't like to bow down and bow, and after listening to Emperor Jingming's words, he agreed and walked to his side.
After arriving in front of Emperor Jingming. Emperor Jingming glanced at the medicine box in Zhexia's hand beside her, and asked with a frown, "Do I want to take off my clothes?" β
Chu Ci hurriedly shook his head and refused, "No, if you go back to the emperor, it's not necessary, I heard Gonggong Li say that there are rashes in many places on the emperor's body, and there must be one on this arm, just roll up your sleeves!" β
When Emperor Jingming heard her say this, he no longer hesitated, and hurriedly rolled up his right sleeve.
Chu Ci only glanced at it, and then narrowed his eyes. There seems to be something special about this person's body, and the speed at which this rash grows is really extremely ferocious. According to this trend, it is estimated that it will grow on the face in less than ten days.
Emperor Jingming could see Chu Ci's expression clearly, and when he arrived, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked at Chu Ci and asked, "Concubine Shizi, what is my illness, can I wait until Huang Liangmeng succeeds in testing the medicine?" β
Chu Ci heard Emperor Jingming ask like this, she pursed her lips vigorously, and after a long while, she said. "Back to the emperor's words, this ...... The courtiers didn't dare to guarantee it, after all, before this, the courtiers had never been exposed to such a disease, and I hope that the emperor could give the courtiers a while longer, so that the courtiers could think about it! β
Emperor Jingming heard Chu Ci say this, he didn't know that the string was pulled by Chu Ci, and before her words fell, he blackened his face, glared at her fiercely, and shouted, "I gave you time, but who gave me time?" Do you know how itchy this rash is on your body? Do you know how hard it is for me these days? I tell you, I don't have a good day, no night can sleep! Do you know? β
Chu Ci lowered his head, and there was no word on his lips.
But I thought to myselfβwhat you are suffering now is not because of the sins you have done before! If you are not tempted by Huang Liangmeng, then who can get you back, aren't you still high now, waking up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of the beauty of the ninety-five!
When Emperor Jingming saw Chu Ci like this, the anger in his heart rose higher for a while, and there was itching everywhere on his body, which made him even more upset...... He got up sharply and brushed towards the table in front of him......
The next moment, the pen holder and the fold on the table all smashed into the place, making a thumping sound.
Chu Ci's eyebrows furrowed slightly with the sudden outburst of noise, and he couldn't help but raise his head and arch his hand and said, "The emperor is angry!" β
"Calm your anger, you can concoct a medicine that can cure my illness, and then let me calm my anger!" Emperor Jingming's eyes were red, and he glared at Chu Ci fiercely and shouted.
Chu Ci was scolded by him for splitting his head and covering his face, and gritted his molars hard...... He lowered his head again, arched his hand and waited in a low voice, "The courtiers try to test the medicine for the emperor as soon as possible!" β
"As much as possible?!" When Emperor Jingming heard these two words, his eyes widened, and the anger in his eyes smashed towards Chu Ci like substance, "The imperial doctor said as much as possible, and you also said as much as possible, did you discuss it and perfunctory together?" β
"The courtiers don't dare!" Chu Ci lowered his head and said respectfully and patiently.
When Emperor Jingming heard her say this, he hooked his lips coldly at her, "Since it's not perfunctory, then you might as well give me a deadline!" β
Chu Ci raised his head, looked directly at Emperor Jingming, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How can you give this deadline?" β
"Three days, or seven days, you must concoct a medicine that can cure my disease, or you will be dealt with by me!" Emperor Jingming looked at her and said word by word.
Chu Ci's eyebrows jumped, of course she couldn't agree to such an overlord's terms, if she agreed, then she would be a fool! Not to mention whether penicillin can be extracted in a short period of time, even if it is extracted, there are thousands of accidents. How could she risk her life to make a military order with Emperor Jingming?!
Thinking like this, she refused without hesitation, "Seven days is too short, please forgive the emperor, the courtiers can't agree to your request!" β
"Then how long will you take!" Emperor Jingming's eyes turned even redder, he held the unjust case with one hand, leaned forward, and asked sharply.
Chu Ci's eyes flashed, he thought about it carefully, and said, "At least a month!" β
"A month?" When Emperor Jingming heard this, his brows furrowed suddenly, he stared at Chu Ci deadly, and said, "One month!" The rash on my body has already crawled up to my face, and maybe there will be large festers, do you want me to consult with the courtiers on such a miserable face? β
Chu Ci sighed helplessly when he heard Emperor Jingming say this, "The courtiers don't want to do this either...... But the emperor Mingjian, this flower willow disease is really not an ordinary disease, and the courtiers are also in contact with it for the first time, and they are still in the process of slowly groping and testing the medicine...... If the courtiers can really overcome a new class of diseases in only three or seven days, as the emperor said, then the courtiers will not be doctors, but immortals. β
"But in fact, the courtiers are just mortals, just mortals with better medical skills, not immortals."
When she said this, she looked straight into Emperor Jingming's eyes. There was not much disgust with Emperor Jingming's persecution of her in her tone, there was just a faint helplessness, and the compassion that had been deeply ingrained in her bones as a doctor!
Emperor Jingming was looked at by her like this, listening to her explain like this, the originally anxious heart was actually calmed down by her like this, but between his eyes, there was still a little gloomy, and after muttering for a long time, he looked at her and suddenly asked, "So, according to what the princess said, in the end, the best result is only to save this life, as for the rest...... You can't help it? β
Chu Ci looked at Emperor Jingming and nodded seriously, "Emperor Shengming!" β
ββ¦β¦ I see! There was silence for a long time, until Chu Ci's legs and feet were a little numb, and Emperor Jingming said sadly and slowly.
Chu Ci didn't answer, but lowered his head as low-key as possible.
Emperor Jingming didn't continue to trouble her. He slowly sat down on the dragon chair behind him, his eyes staring straight ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long, long time, the candle flame had already begun to be passed in the palace, and he raised his head again, looked at Chu Ci and said, "Then the matter of the subsequent concoction of pills will be the princess of Lao Shi." β
Chu Ci took a deep breath, raised his head and said, "The courtiers remember the emperor's orders!" β
"Well, stand down!" Emperor Jingming waved his hand, then glanced at Li Zhong again, and said, "You send the princess for me!" β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Zhong responded, then turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Chu Ci.
Seeing this, Chu Ci turned around and glanced at Emperor Jingming uneasily, and then left with Li Zhong......
On the way out of the palace, Li Zhong didn't know what he was thinking, and he never spoke.
Chu Ci was also quietly thinking about her own affairs, until she walked to Yongning Gate, Li Zhong stopped her steps, she reacted, smiled at Li Zhong, and said, "Have you arrived?" β
Li Zhong looked at the front and nodded, and said, "It's already at Yongning Gate, and the sedan chair is outside!" β
Chu Ci said "um", paused, and glanced at Li Zhong secretly, and said tentatively, "Father-in-law, there is something I may need your help with, I don't know if you ......"
"The princess, please say, if the slaves can help, they will naturally go to the soup and go to the fire, and they will not give up!" Li Zhong looked at Chu Ci's words, shook the dust in his hand, and said with some reservations.
Chu Ci looked at him and bowed slightly, smiled lightly, and said casually, "It's not a big deal to say, it's just that I estimate that the emperor may recruit concubines and palace maids to sleep tonight......"
"And then?" Li Zhong asked, "What does the princess mean?" β
"My father-in-law also knows that the emperor's illness is contagious, and I don't want too many innocent people to die because of this, so if I really guess correctly, can my father-in-law send someone to talk to me." Chu Ci smiled and said his request.
Li Zhong lowered his eyes and thought about it, this was not a big deal, so he nodded directly and agreed, "Okay." The slave who explained the matter of the princess has written it down, and if the thing you guessed really happened, the slave will ask someone to tell you! β
"Then thank you father-in-law!" Chu Ci politely thanked him.
Li Zhong hugged the dust and bowed back, and said with a smile, "The princess is too polite, this is just a gesture!" β
After that, the two were polite to each other before parting.
Chu Ci left the palace from Yongning Gate, and Li Zhong returned to the Qianyuan Palace.
In the Qianyuan Palace, as soon as Li Zhong entered the palace gate, a cool gaze looked at him.
Li Zhong followed that gaze and saw Emperor Jingming staring at him with compassion.
"The Emperor...... Emperor! He hunched over and cried tentatively.
Emperor Jingming moved his eyelids. A soft snort came out of his throat, and he looked at him and asked coldly, "The princess sent away?" β
Li Zhong stepped forward to reply, his tone was unprecedentedly respectful and cautious, "If you go back to the emperor, the slave will send the princess to Yongningmen and come back." I don't know what else the emperor commanded? β
"Well, I have something to tell you to do!" Emperor Jingming glanced at Li Zhong and said coldly.
Li Zhong heard Emperor Jingming say this, and he didn't know why, he suddenly thought of the matter that Chu had explained to him when he left, could it be ...... The emperor is really unwilling to be infected by himself, and plans to poison the palace people in the palace?
Thinking like this, his bowed body suddenly stiffened. When he spoke again, his voice trembled, "Your Majesty, please command!" β
"You go to the palace of the imperial concubine for me to pass the decree, let her come to the Qianyuan Palace tonight to sleep!" The corners of Emperor Jingming's lips hooked up a cold arc, and he said fluently.
After listening to Emperor Jingming's instructions, Li Zhong's body became even stiffer, and after a long time, he slowly raised his head, looked at his master, and whispered tentatively, "Your Majesty, aren't you still sick?" β
Emperor Jingming heard Li Zhong mention his illness, and his eyes suddenly changed. Hooked his lips and said, "Li Zhong, you can think about others, so why don't you serve me for the imperial concubine tonight?" β
Li Zhong: "......"
His eyes widened, he really wanted to break his head, and he didn't expect his master to say such a thing.
He served him for the imperial concubine? Where to serve?
Thinking of this, a chill suddenly floated in his heart, and there was a faint sadness!
No! Dead friends don't die poor!
The emperor wants the imperial concubine to serve, and he just goes to announce the decree and pass the word, why risk his own life! He is not a Buddha, he can cut his own flesh and feed it to the eagle.
Thinking like this, he hurriedly saluted Emperor Jingming again and said. "The emperor laughed, the slave is the decree of the Fanghua Palace!" As he spoke, he turned around and was about to walk out!
"Wait!"
After he had walked a few steps, Emperor Jing Ming suddenly spoke out and shouted behind him.
Li Zhong's face changed, and he thought to himself, the emperor wouldn't really regret it, and wanted him to serve, right?
"Why don't you turn around and look at me?" Emperor Jingming saw Li Zhong stop, but he didn't turn around for a long time, couldn't help sneering, looked at his thin back and asked.
Li Zhong heard Emperor Jingming say this, the curvature of the corners of his mouth became even more bitter, and he almost used all his strength. Only then did he ensure that he did not tremble, slowly turned around, looked at Emperor Jingming and asked, "I don't know what else the emperor has ordered?" β
"I just want to tell you, when I go to Fanghua Palace, remember to bring the night pearl that Fanbang tribute to the imperial concubine, she is afraid of the dark, and she likes this kind of thing that is bright at night!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave obeys!" When Li Zhong heard that he had nothing to do with himself, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, paused, and asked Emperor Jingming one more question. After making sure that he had no other orders, he turned around again and left the Qianyuan Palace.
Outside the palace, Chu Zhai took a sedan chair to the gate of the palace, just got off the sedan chair, ready to get on the carriage of Chu Mansion, who knows, she has not stepped on the ladder, and there is a sound of horses' hooves in her ears.
Zhen Xia, who was holding Chu Ci, frowned, and subconsciously said, "This seems to be the sound of the horse's hooves on the prince's mount......"
"You mean the Regent?" Chu Ci stopped boarding the car, turned his head to look at Zhi Xia and asked.
Zhexia nodded, before he could answer. On the other side, Meng Jing had already arrived at the front.
He was dressed in a dark color, and after turning over and dismounting, he walked straight towards Chu Ci, grabbed her wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Are you okay?" β
"I'm fine!" Chu Ci smiled faintly at him, and while replying, he pulled back his wrist vigorously, looked at the cyan mount behind him, and asked, "Why did the prince enter the palace today?" β
Meng Jing clenched the hand that had held Chu Ci's wrist and lowered his head. looked at her eyes and said in a low voice, "This king didn't come to the palace, but I heard that Mr. Li invited you to the palace on the emperor's order, and I was a little worried...... I'll chase you and see you! β
"I'm tired of the prince!" Chu Ci lowered his head and whispered, "It's just that it's windy and cold outside, and the body of the prince is ......."
"This king is fine!" Meng Jing directly interrupted her and said, "This king's body is understood by this king!" If he can't stand the cold and bumps, this king won't go out at all! Ah Ci, this king is also afraid of causing you trouble! β
Chu Ci's expression became even more uncomfortable when she heard him say this, and she lowered her head, "Lord Wang...... After all, we still need to maintain more, I just happen to have a carriage here, so let them send the prince back to the regent's palace! β
"What about you?" Meng Jing heard that Chu Ci didn't mean to leave with him in his words, and couldn't help but ask.
Chu Ci finally raised his head, looked at the tall horse behind him, and said, "I'll ride the prince's horse back!" β
Meng Jing's face couldn't help but change when she heard her say this, as if shocked and incredulous, "You can ride a horse?" β
Chu Ci nodded, "Learned." Although it is not very fast, it is quite stable! After the words fell, she looked at Meng Jing's reddish nose again, pointed to her carriage, and said, "Lord Wang, let's hurry up and get in the car!" It's really cold outside! β
Meng Jing didn't seem to hear her second sentence, just looked into her eyes and said, "This king's horse is not an ordinary horse, I'm afraid you can't control it!" β
"Will it?" Chu Ci walked towards the green horse unconvincedly, raised his hand and touched it lightly on its head, and said, "But I'm watching." Why do you think it's docile! β
Meng Jing: "......"
This is the first time someone has said that his Ben Lei has a docile temper!
"So be it!" Chu Ci touched Ben Lei's head again, and said directly, "Lord Wang, you go to take the carriage, and I will ride back to the Chu mansion!" So saying, she stepped on the horse and got on the horse!
And Ben Lei, there is really no sign of rejection at all.
Meng Jing looked slightly surprised when he looked at it from the side.
Chu Ci also ignored him anymore, turned the horse's head and headed in the direction of Chu's house.
Meng Jing watched her run away, and after a while, he suddenly turned his head, glanced at Zhi Xia coldly, and said, "If you don't catch up and protect your master, if she loses a hair." This king wants your life! β
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Zhexia agreed, hurriedly picked up the light work, and chased after him.
And Meng Jing stood in place for a while, until he couldn't see the shadows of Chu Ci and Ben Lei, then got into the carriage, and ordered the guards who were driving, "Follow your master and go to the Chu Mansion!" β
"Yes, Lord Wang!" The guards didn't dare to refuse, and when the words fell, they drove the carriage to chase Chu Ci.
Chu Ci said the same as herself. Can ride a horse, but not fast! After all, in her opinion, horseback riding is also a very dangerous sport, especially if she is not riding her own horse, but Meng Jing's horse, so she has to be even more careful!
After running for a while, the speed slowed down!
Because of this, Meng Jing's carriage quickly caught up with her.
Meng Jing only had to lift the curtain of the car and poke her head out to see the sound of her riding a horse and jogging......
After coming down all the way, when I returned to the Chu house, it took twice as long as the usual car.
It's already dark!
Outside Chu's house, Chu Ci got off the horse with difficulty, and as soon as her front feet landed, Zhexia chased after her from behind, called "girl", and went to pick up the reins in her hand.
Chu Ci glanced up at Zhi Xia, "You ran back?" β
Zhexia nodded, "The prince's mount is a little more dangerous, and the slave is worried about the girl!" β
"Isn't that all right for me!" Chu Ci smiled at her, looked at the door of the Chu Mansion again, and instructed her, "Go and knock!" β
Zhexia agreed, pulled his leg and went to knock on the door.
After Steward Wu came out, he took the reins in Chu Ci's hand, and looked at his girl with a surprised face, and said, "The girl came back on a horse today?" β
Chu Ci nodded, and was about to tell Steward Wu why she came back on horseback today, but as soon as she opened her mouth, there was a sound of carriage in her ears.
Then, the carriage with the logo of the Chu Mansion drove into the alley.
It was the carriage she gave Meng Jing!
Don't...... Meng Jing didn't let people drive back to the Regent's Mansion, but followed her all the way?
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but look sideways at Zhexia and asked, "Do you know about the prince following me?" β
Zhexia nodded, "I know!" β
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Chu Ci looked at her with some reproach.
Zhexia said with a worried face, "The slave also wants to tell you." But I'm afraid that I will show up rashly and share your divine ......"
"......" Chu Ci listened to her explanation, and there was no way to blame her anymore.
I could only walk inward, and said to her, "Since they are all here, it can only be like this, you are a guest at the door, wait for you to go to the small kitchen and talk to Aunt Wu, and add a few dishes!" "Just thank Meng Jing for her concern today!
Hearing Chu Ci's instructions, Zhe Xia hurriedly responded and said, "The slave knows!" I'll go to the kitchen later! β
Their master and servant walked forward as they spoke.
When he walked to the moon gate, a childish voice suddenly came from behind him.
Chu Ci stopped and looked back. I saw that the little girl who had just entered the house a few days ago walked towards her quickly.
After arriving in front of her, he respectfully slapped Qian'er, and then said, "Girl, it was Uncle Wu who asked the slave to come over, he said that the girl was in too much hurry just now, and he forgot to tell you something, so he asked the slave to come over and pass a message!" β
"What's the matter?" Chu Ci looked at the little guy in front of him gently, and asked in a gentle tone.
The little girl had never seen such a gentle master, and when she was flattered, she was slightly stunned for a moment before she said with a childish breath, "If you go back to the girl, that's the case...... Before you came back, about half an hour, a little eunuch came to the house, who was to deliver a message for the palace manager Li, saying that what you guessed had happened......"
