Section 20 Lu'an Gua Slice

Xue Huan checked Lin Yuebai's pulse, and carefully checked the list of food and the amount of food the queen had eaten in the twelve hours recorded by the palace people of Yongyang Palace, and after considering it for a moment, he said: "Queen Mother, has you had a poor appetite recently, so the amount of food you eat is getting less and less?"

"It's fine, but I don't have much appetite. Lin Yuebai showed a faint smile, "What Imperial Physician Xue wants to say is that the palace understands that for the sake of the child in the belly, the palace will definitely work hard to add food." ”

"It's hard for the mother to conceive. Xue Huan raised his head, and his eyes fell on a copper incense burner with entwined branches and lotus patterns on the coffee table not far away, which was only the size of a hand stove, but it was very exquisite. The top lid resembles a unique lotus flower, the lotus petals are slightly open, and the body of the furnace is cloisonnΓ©, which glows a cold blue in the soft sunlight. He secretly took a breath, got up and saluted, and said, "Niangniang, can Weichen take a look at the incense burner?"

Lin Yuebai was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Naturally." The incense burner was just sent by His Majesty yesterday, and it was said to be particularly beautiful, and the palace also felt that the color was unique, so he put it in front of him. ”

Xue Huan walked to the side of the incense burner, and didn't touch it with his hands, but leaned over and looked carefully at the entwined lotus pattern on the body of the incense burner and the ear handles on both sides, smelled the residual fragrance on the incense burner, and then turned around and said, "May I ask the girl, has the benzoin burned here by the mother for the past two days?"

"Niangniang has been sleeping lightly these days, so she has used this benzoin, and the day the slaves and maids take the incense will be reported to you. Imperial Doctor Xue, is there anything wrong?" Ah Meng was a little nervous, and hurriedly walked over to open the top lid of the incense burner, the incense inside had already burned out, but there was still a trace of aftertaste.

"There is nothing wrong with benzoin, it's just that the autumn is dry, the mother is pregnant with a dragon fetus, and there is also a little false fire, so it's better not to use this incense more. ”

"Bengong has never been particularly fond of using incense, but I haven't slept well recently, so I used it for a while, since Imperial Doctor Xue said so, Ah Meng, put away the incense burner. ”

"Queen Mother, this is not necessary," Xue Huan stretched out his hand to gently stop Ah Meng, took the incense burner from her hand, and gently put it back in place, and re-covered the lotus top cover that Ah Meng had just not closed, and then said: "Niangniang can't sleep peacefully, judging from the pulse, chasing the root cause of it, or Niangniang's overthinking and too hard work." Even though benzoin can help you sleep, but Niangniang's thoughts are non-stop, even in her sleep, it is also extremely draining, which is very inappropriate for pregnant women. ”

"Yes, Niangniang didn't sleep well, and I've been dreaming about it these days-" Ah Meng nodded again and again, and was about to elaborate, but was stopped by Lin Yuebai's gaze, so she had to whisper: "Then, what should I do?"

"Thinking about the mind is not in the body, it is not controllable by the medicine stone, this still requires the queen mother to be more relieved, for the sake of the dragon fetus in the womb, try to keep the mood happy, is the best prescription. ”

Lin Yuebai frowned slightly, sighed silently, nodded and said, "This palace knows." Imperial Doctor Xue, since His Majesty entrusted the belly of this palace to you, you have done your best every day, but this palace is really not a good patient who is obedient and cooperative, and you have really bothered these days. ”

"It is the honor of Wechen to take care of the dragon fetus of the queen's mother, as long as the mother is safe, Wechen ...... Never give up. I don't know why Xue Huan's words were a little excited, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, obviously it was not hot in the room, but he felt that his palms were greasy and sweaty, and he unconsciously shrank his hands into his sleeves, and his face was also pale.

"Ah...... It was the words of this palace that were too heavy, and it scared Imperial Doctor Xue, Ah Meng, go and help Imperial Doctor Xue up. ”

Ah Meng stepped forward to help Xue Huan up, although he was only holding his arm, he could still feel the slight tremor on his body, so he asked with concern: "Imperial Doctor Xue, are you okay?"

β€œ...... No, it's okay......"

Lin Yuebai thought that Xue Huan thought of the sentence he said when Li Yao pointed out that he was in charge of his own fetus, "If there is something wrong with the queen mother and the dragon fetus, you don't have to live anymore", and his body has not been very good, because Xue Huan must have been under great pressure these days, and he must not be happy. So she got up and walked in front of Xue Huan, and said softly: "Imperial Doctor Xue, this palace knows that the burden on your shoulders is heavy, but didn't you just persuade this palace not to think too much, so you should pay attention to it yourself." You are the imperial doctor appointed by His Majesty, and you are also a person trusted by this palace, and this palace believes that you and your medical skills will be able to keep the mother and child of this palace safe. ”

Looking at the care and trust in Lin Yuebai's eyes, Xue Huan suddenly felt that his feet were floating, and the hand shrunk in his sleeve wanted to clench it even more but couldn't use it, and after a moment of silence, he still nodded heavily: "Weichen knows, Queen Xie cares." ”

"Well, you've worked hard today, so go back and rest early. Lin Yuebai beckoned to Ah Meng, and said, "Go and get the Lu'an melon slices rewarded by Your Majesty to Imperial Doctor Xue." ”

"Ah, thank you for your grace! The queen also knows that Weichen likes to drink this ......"

Lin Yuebai said curiously: "Also, this palace is mentioned by the academician of the Tai Hospital, saying that Imperial Doctor Xue has always only drunk this, and the day before yesterday, His Majesty got some, saying that it was in excellent condition, and this palace was cheeky to ask for it - I think it was a stupid pregnancy, every time you came to the palace two days ago, you couldn't remember to ask you to take it away, but today I can remember it." ”

Saying that, Ah Meng carefully held a Dingyao white porcelain lotus pattern jar and handed it to Xue Huan, and said: "This Dingyao white porcelain is also a good treasure, Niangniang said that she also rewarded Imperial Doctor Xue, and Imperial Doctor Xue can hold it steadily." ”

As soon as Xue Huan saw the color of the white porcelain, he knew that it was not ordinary, and hurriedly knelt down with both hands to thank him, Lin Yuebai shook his head and signaled Ah Meng to hold him: "This palace is the intention of Imperial Doctor Xie Xue to this palace, this is not a reward, but a thank you gift; ”

However, I am afraid that I will not have that opportunity and blessing...... Xue Huan looked at the tea leaves in his hand, sighed in his heart, and after bowing his head and saying goodbye, he retreated. When he walked to the door, he almost collided with Ah Yuan, so Ah Yuan came in, dusted off his clothes, and said to Ah Meng: "Why is Imperial Doctor Xue in a trance today, as if he has been hit by an evil spirit." ”

"Nonsense again, let you inquire about the news, but did you inquire?"

"I heard it! But it took a lot of effort!" Ayuan hurriedly ran to Lin Yuebai, but she didn't have time to salute, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has already agreed to the proposal of the Yunhu clan, and now you are already discussing the marriage date!"

"What!" Lin Yuebai suddenly lost color, and sat down on the chair heavily, Ah Meng suddenly became anxious, and said angrily to Ah Yuan: "Can't you say it slowly!

"Yes...... But this matter is very urgent at the moment, and the little eunuch from Si Tiantai told me...... Say ......"

"What did you say?" Lin Yuebai forced herself to calm down, stretched out her hand and pulled Ayuan over and asked, "What did they say?"

"Said that their chief secretary has already checked, and there is no auspicious day for marriage next month, so they can only choose a date for the eldest princess to marry this month! and-"

Lin Yuebai felt that she was about to faint when she heard this, but when she heard the word "and", she forced herself to open her eyes wide and tremble and asked, "What else?"

"I heard one more thing, and I don't know if it was tight, but I thought-"

Ah Meng was so anxious that he pushed her: "Say it quickly!"

"Yes, it's Jiao Xiao's son! He, he, he is already married! But the bride hanged herself on the night she got married, I heard, I heard that now they are looking for death and life every day, and Lord Jia almost beat Master Jiao in the face, or His Majesty suppressed the matter......

"Why?" Lin Yuebai remembered Jiao Xiao's expression that day, and suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, and she couldn't help but raise her voice: "Why!"

"Because, because of Jiao Xiao, he is already a eunuch!"

It was as if a big mountain had fallen in front of Lin Yuebai, and she suddenly understood everything: why did Jiao Xiao suddenly come back from the west, why did Li Yao suddenly agree to him enter the palace to see him, and why did Jiao Xiao say that he was humble...... It's just that for the feelings that maybe even she and Jiao Xiao didn't understand, Li Yao ruthlessly took away Jiao Xiao's most basic dignity as a man, and she didn't even have the qualifications to know about it, and she cruelly wished Jiao Xiao to have children - Lin Yuebai felt that everything in front of her was blurred, who else could she care about? Who else was she qualified to care about......

Queen Lin Yuebai, at this time finally stood up, she pushed away the maid's hand, and walked slowly outside the palace gate alone, she was wearing a heavy crown, she raised her head, she looked at this palace city, she suddenly felt that she should do something for herself.
