Chapter 69: Covert Deployment
"Your Highness...... Why do you say these things? Isn't it plain to worry people? Shu Ning looked at Lin Jiao, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and his expression was almost out of control.
But even if she tried her best to endure it, how could she not show it on her face?
Lin Ji could see at a glance that something was wrong with Shu Ning, so he squeezed out a smile and said to Shu Ning: "Okay, don't cry, if you cry, I don't know what to do." ”
He instinctively reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, but when his hand reached his face, he flinched and retracted again.
"Your Highness is recuperating, and the concubine will go to see the medicine for His Highness." I just made any excuses, but I didn't want to face the man in front of me, for fear that I would show any emotions next to him.
For a moment, Shu Ning really didn't want Lin Ji to suffer the final fate of death like the original plot, a person like him should be a flying dragon soaring above the nine heavens, and be the best monarch in this country.
The author is unfair, it's a stepmother!
But this world is inherently unfair.
The medicine pot on the stove slowly emitted the aroma of herbs under the charcoal fire, and the lid of the medicine was also lifted by the boiling black-brown medicinal soup, flowing along the edge of the pot, blending into the greedy tongue of fire, which could only light a little green smoke, which did not affect the burning of the flame in the slightest.
The steam rose like a hazy dream, but he was unaware of it because of his contemplation.
If it weren't for the steam, I wouldn't even know that the medicine pot was burned dry.
"What does Your Highness think?" It was Qin Ruo who came over to make Xie Ning's thoughts return and turn his mind.
"Niangniang, be careful, this medicine has been prescribed, how can it be better to be scalded again?" Qin Ruo walked over with a smile, personally took a handkerchief, picked up the medicine pot and separated the medicinal juice, and helped Shu Ning to get up, and instructed: "Niangniang, be careful." It's not good to be burned by this steam. ”
Shu Ning nodded: "Mother Xie cares, I'm distracted for a while." ”
Qin Ruo picked up the medicine bowl and motioned for Shu Ning to go to the front hall together, and said as he walked: "Niangniang has always been calm, how can she be distracted?" Niangniang was afraid that she cared about His Royal Highness's concern, and she couldn't help but be afraid to think about it too much. ”
Shu Ning instinctively denied: "Mom is talking nonsense, I don't have ......"
But when he landed, he felt that his face was hot, and he was embarrassed for no reason.
"Look at the mother, I'm embarrassed. Actually, the two highnesses are in love with each other and care about each other, so what's not to do? What a normal thing this is, but the mother is shy. ”
"What is Mommy talking about?" Shu Ning was very "resistant" and shook his head vigorously in denial.
"Mother, can't the old woman see it? You and Your Highness can't speak, but your concern for each other is hidden in your hearts, little young man, just shy. ”
"Mom......" Shu Ning could only hide her embarrassment by stomping her feet, "Mom, besides, I'm going to ignore Mom." ”
"Okay, okay, slave don't say it." Qin Ruo smiled obviously, "Don't dare to make Niangniang angry anymore." ”
Strange, what was it that made Qin Ruo think that he liked Lin Zhang?
Shu Ning shook his head, but he didn't understand, and he didn't have time to think about this problem, he just wanted to send the medicine to Lin Ji quickly.
"Mom, don't say it, hurry up and watch His Highness drink the medicine. If the medicine is cold and bitter and ineffective, His Highness will be tricked again. ”
Shu Ning hurriedly walked to the dormitory and brought the medicine to Lin Jie, and saw that Lin Jian turned his back and refused to drink the medicine with a child's temper, and was forced to be tightened by Shu Ning, so he directly covered his head with the quilt, only clamoring that he didn't want to drink.
"Your Highness, take a sip and taste it, this will be warm, just in the mouth, not so bitter." Shu Ning didn't expect that he would be so patient, and very gently lifted Lin Zhang's quilt, ready to feed Lin Zhu medicine himself.
"Really?" Lin Ji puffed out his eyes and looked at Shu Ning, looking suspicious.
"Really, Your Highness, you can taste it." Shu Ning looked at Lin Ji with a smile, helped Lin Ji sit up, and took a spoonful of medicine and blew it carefully before slowly sending the medicine into Lin Ji's mouth. ”
The warm medicine entered his throat, and Lin Jian frowned and shook his head: "Who said it wasn't bitter?" It's clearly bitter death! "After that, he turned around like a child angrily, and refused to drink the medicine again."
"Where's the suffering?" Shu Ning tasted it himself, thinking that it was just a bowl of soup and medicine, where could it be bitter.
As a result, the moment I entered it, I realized how powerful this thing was.
"It's quite bitter, and it doesn't taste the same as the other day." Shu Ning said with certainty.
"It's different, it wasn't so bitter a few days ago." Lin Ji agreed.
"That's not right." After a while, Lin Ji reacted, "A few days ago? Have you tried it too? ”
"yes." Shu Ning nodded.
At this moment, Qin Ruoze came over again, "Your Highness doesn't know yet?" These days, your medicine lady will taste it herself before daring to order someone to send it to His Highness, for fear that it will be hot or cold in the mouth. Today I went to pick up the medicine, and my mother didn't taste it. ”
Lin Ji's eyes flickered: "You...... Why do you need to do this? That medicine, how unpalatable. His eyes became a little weaker.
"Concubine...... This is what a concubine should do. ”
Oops, Shu Ning felt even more blushing, her face was hot, as if her brain was burning dizzy, and after forcibly calming down, she quickly found a topic on the side: "Your Highness, the concubine remembers, I wish the imperial doctor didn't change the prescription!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall changed suddenly, Lin Ji and Qin Ruo were both sitting on pins and needles, their faces were complicated and gloomy, and the three of them faced each other, and they all got the same answer.
"Your Highness...... Could it be that someone changed the prescription? Qin Ruo speculated.
"I looked at the dregs, and it was the same as the other day. I'm afraid it's not that the prescription has been changed, but that something has been added. Shu Ning shook his head.
"Let's ask Zhu Yun to come and see." Lin Jian tried his best to hold back his anger and tried his best to show a calm complexion.
When Zhu Yun came to see it, the conclusion was: ephedra powder was added to the medicine, and if Lin Jian drank it, he would probably be able to sleep well tonight.
Lin Ji was very puzzled: "Drugging me, just to let me get a good night's sleep?" Ephedra should be unsettling. ”
Zhu Yun shook his head: "Although ephedra is not a good thing, it can be used for a short time to solve the problem of insomnia. The minister looked at this thing, and the amount added was not too much, but His Highness ate it, and it was inevitable that he would sleep heavily tonight. ”
"Sleepy?" Lin Ji smiled coldly: "This palace can't sleep at night these days, this person is considerate of this palace." ”
Shu Ning listened to the clouds, and after thinking hard, he couldn't help but look at it: "Could it be that there is something in Qingning Palace tonight?" Thinking about it, he instructed Xiangyun to say, "Is it wrong to bring my medicine to Imperial Doctor Zhu to see?" ”
Lin Ji looked at Shu Ning: "Are you suspicious ......?"
Shu Ning was not sure, shook his head and said, "It's all a shadowless thing, and I have to come to see my medicine." ”
After Shuning's own medicine was served, Zhu Yun tested it, and ephedra was added to the same medicine.
It seems that his conjecture may be true.
"Hehe, this Qingning Palace is really unsafe now." Lin Ji sneered, and the cold blade in his starry eyes closed, as if he wanted to kill.
"Zhu Yun, you go back first, don't make a noise." After Lin Ji sneered, he calmed down a lot, and only calmly commanded.
"Yes." Zhu Yun saluted solemnly and left.
Lin Jian looked at Shu Ning again, and his eyes softened a lot: "Ah Ning, today, I want to wronged you and me to live in the Tihua Palace." ”
Shu Ning was stunned: "??? Temple...... Next ......"
Lin Jian glanced at Shu Ning helplessly: "Don't worry, naturally nothing will happen, just for your safety, you should stay with me." ”
"Your Highness wants?" I vaguely guessed a few points in my heart, but I didn't dare to be sure, but the dangerous and nervous breath was really smelled.
"You don't have to worry about it, tonight, let's not sleep." Lin Ji's eyes were extremely firm, his lips were lightly raised, and his thinking and scheming were already in place, and the deployment plan followed.
The slender hand picked up the medicine bowl, and poured the spittoon down along the edge of the couch, only to hear a sentence of disgust: "Pickled things." ”
He also instructed: "Mom, I have to bother you to invite Zhou Jian to come over, just say that I want to play chess, and ask him to come and accompany me." Lin Ji didn't know when he had already sat up upright and began to deploy.
"If Your Highness has orders, the concubine will retire first." Shu Ning consciously wanted to retire and did not want to participate in the secrets of the master and servant.
"You stay." The man's voice was magnetic, "I don't worry about you, you don't have to." ”
