Chapter 60: The Breeze Waits for the Moon
"I didn't understand it at the time, so I asked the monk to explain it in detail. What he meant was that the reason why his sister's illness had not improved was because her heart had been so hurt that she had to use the flesh of the most noble person as a medicine and boil a soup for the sick to drink. ”
And he also emphasized that this person must be of the same sex, and the more noble the medicine, the better! I think we are like sisters, as long as the heart is sincere, I did it myself, at that time I just had the attitude of trying it out, but I didn't expect it to be effective, this little injury was not in vain, and my sister also felt comforted. ”
After Jiang Li finished speaking, she looked at Xi Fei with a smile, her eyes were full of pity, and after saying it, she seemed to have let go of the burden in her heart and became much more relaxed.
"Sister, I really don't know what to say, how can I ...... How can you eat your flesh and drink your blood? Woowoo woo ......"
Xi Fei's heart was like a knife, hugging Jiang Li tightly, she had always been calm and calm, she was not happy with things, and she was not sad with herself, but she was already crying silently at this time.
In the harem deep in this courtyard, I have only seen the concubines who have always been jealous of the wind intriguing, fighting openly and secretly.
It is rare to get along with such a harmonious concubine between Jiang Li and Xi Fei, and there is no one who can debone and make soup.
is so affectionate, how can Xi Fei not be moved? Even the stupid slaves and maids were moved to tears.
Xi Fei looked at Jiang Li and thought of her own sister Cai Fei, if she was so sincere for her own good, how could she have ended up in such a field now?
Alas! As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, is it false? Now this Jiang Li is not her own sister, but she is far better than her own sister.
Jiang Li stretched out her slender jade hand and gently wiped away the tears on Xi Fei's face.
"Sister, don't cry, it's okay, it doesn't hurt at all!"
With tears in her eyes, Xi Fei said sadly: "Good sister, you are so stupid! Even if the doctor can heal the wound on your leg, it will leave an ugly scar, how is that good? ”
Jiang Li smiled easily when she heard this, and took Xi Fei's head over and leaned on her shoulder.
"Silly sister, it's okay, the senior monk gave my sister a miracle medicine, which is said to treat knife wounds without leaving a scar. Besides, even if there is a scar, it is to cure my sister's illness, isn't it also very worthwhile, something meaningful, right? ”
"Sister, can I lift the gauze and see your injuries? I've been drinking that soup for six days, and I think I've stripped off a large piece of meat......"
Xi Fei was so moved that she burst into tears as she spoke.
"Sister, you are pregnant now, don't look at all things that are not beautiful, and the monk has specially explained that this medicine cannot be opened after it is applied, and it must be completely well before it can come into contact with the air, otherwise it will leave a scar."
"I see!"
Seeing that Jiang Li looked embarrassed, Xi Fei didn't want to force it anymore, so she nodded frequently.
"Then sister have a good rest and recover as soon as possible, Qingqiu will go back first, and I will come to see you another day!"
Xi Fei returned to Taohuawu, and for the first time she was like a little daughter-in-law looking forward to her return, leaning on the door and waiting for the arrival of King Chu Wen.
It was almost noon, and Gonggong Wei hurried to deliver a message for King Wen of Chu.
"Madam, the king has something to delay, let you eat first and don't wait."
Xi Fei had something to say to King Chu Wen, but she was suddenly told that she couldn't come, and she suddenly felt so lost, but she still smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, father-in-law!" ”
"Then our family will retire first!"
Xi Fei watched Father-in-law Wei sit in a sedan chair and return to Mingluan Palace, but he still leaned under a peach tree and did not return to the main hall to eat.
After a while, the father-in-law Zhang Gao came over to invite Xi Fei to dinner, and Xi Fei shook her head and looked at the door listlessly.
The careful Xiangming found that Concubine Xi's legs were a little swollen, and said with a distressed face: "Madam, the imperial doctor said, you are pregnant now, it is not advisable to stand for a long time, otherwise your calves will be swollen, the slave knows that you think Jiang Guifei is righteous and wants to say this in front of the king, right?" But you also have to take care of your body, not to mention that Gonggong Wei also said just now, the king will not come at this time, you should go to eat first, rest your legs and come again, okay? ”
Xiangming is worthy of following Concubine Xi for so many years, and she guessed Concubine Xi's thoughts to the point where she really wanted to say that Jiang Li was sacrificing herself in front of King Wen of Chu.
But although Xiangming is also grateful to Jiang Li for helping her master cure her illness, she always faintly feels that things are not so simple, Jiang Li is really so kind? Even though I think so, I can't say anything.
Xi Fei also felt that what Xiang Ming said made sense, although she had no intention of eating at this time, she didn't want to embarrass the slaves and maids, and was about to turn around and go back to the house.
Suddenly, King Chu Wen's Luan Yu appeared in Taohuawu, King Chu Wen couldn't wait to walk down Luan Yu, and when he saw Xi Fei looking at the door, he was suddenly surprised, and took three steps and two steps towards her.
"Let Mrs. wait for a long time, I heard Wei Xian say that Mrs. is waiting for the hub, and she is so happy that she is not hub! Immediately rushed over. ”
King Chu Wen swept Xi Fei from top to bottom with his concerned eyes.
"Today's lady looks pretty good, is there anything else in her body that feels uncomfortable?"
"There is nothing uncomfortable about the concubines, is the king very busy with government affairs today? The concubines thought that the king was not coming. ”
Seeing that King Chu Wen specially asked people to pass on the words, but at this time he came again, and Xi Fei suddenly had a spirit.
"There is such a beautiful lady waiting for Buhub, even if there is a big thing, Buhu will focus on Mrs. first."
For unknown reasons, King Chu Wen saw that Xi Fei was actually taking the initiative to greet him, his heart was happy, his face was full of smiles, and then he saw that a few dishes had been arranged, so he took Xi Fei's arm and walked into the main hall to sit in front of several cases, and thoughtfully picked up a cushion and leaned against her back.
King Chu Wen sandwiched her favorite fried prawns and put it on the plate in front of her, and looked at her affectionately.
"Madame, eat quickly, you must be hungry!"
"The concubines are not hungry, and the king is also eating!"
Xi Fei also helped King Chu Wen put a shrimp on the plate in front of him, saying that he was not hungry, but the baby in his belly was hungry when he saw the shrimp.
"Just because I am a great Chu, beautiful and rich, right now several surrounding countries are eyeing my Great Chu, above the court, the ministers discussed the battle plan, and listened to it for a while."
"State affairs are important, and the concubines are not in a hurry, but the concubines do have something to say to the king today."
King Chu Wen picked up the shrimp and was about to send it to his mouth, when he heard Xi Fei say something, he put the shrimp back again, staring at Xi Fei intently.
"Oh, what does Madame want to say?"
"King, you know that the concubine's illness is so helpless that even the imperial doctor is helpless, why is it suddenly cured?"
King Chu Wen looked at Xi Fei with inquiring eyes and said, "Yes, I don't think it's strange, I saw that Mrs. was so sick some time ago, but I was really anxious, did Mrs. take any medicine?" ”
"Pregnant with the king's child, how dare the concubine take medicine casually, it is Jiang Guifei, she quietly went to the Taoist temple to pray for the concubine, met the guidance of the monk, and prescribed a seemingly ridiculous prescription, but Jiang Guifei would rather take the risk, believing that the monk's prescription can cure the concubine's illness, and not hesitate to hurt her body, the concubine saw the sadness on her legs and was distressed!"
Xi Fei covered her chest with her hands as she spoke, and she was already in tears.
King Chu Wen frowned slightly and said, "Madam, what kind of prescription did this senior monk prescribe, and how did Concubine Jiang do it?" ”
"The other medicinal materials in the prescription are just vegetables such as cabbage and radish, mainly the medicine lead, saying that the meat of the noble person should be used as the medicine lead, Jiang Guifei she, she did not hesitate to remove the meat on her body as a medicine lead, and boiled soup for the concubine to drink, it is really a tribulation to see the truth!"
"In other words, every day Jiang Guifei sent someone to send it, and Mrs. said that the delicious soup is human broth? Well, this woman is indeed in good spirits, and it seems that she was not to blame before! ”
King Chu Wen couldn't stop nodding and praising again and again.
"Yes, if the concubine knew that it was human broth, she wouldn't drink it if she was killed."
Xi Fei sobbed, and Xiangling came over with a washkerchief to help her wipe her face.
King Chu Wen stretched out his hand to take the hot and humid handkerchief from Xiangling's hand, held Xi Fei's shoulder to help her wipe the tears on her face, and said softly: "Don't be sad, madam, don't send the most clever imperial doctor, just use the best Jinchuang medicine to heal her." ”
Xi Fei's innocent eyes were washed by tears, and they became clearer, Ying Yingqiu looked at King Chu Wen with teary eyes, and said lightly: "King, the concubines have something to ask for, can you promise to let Jiang Guifei also move to Taohuawu to be the companion of the concubines?" ”
King Chu Wen was stunned, and looked at Xi Concubine quietly and was speechless for a while.
