Chapter 45: Master's Entry (3)
Dugu Yexue chatted with Xia Rui for a long time.
Yun Xiao saw that the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
When it came to Shen (equivalent to three o'clock in the afternoon now), a palace person came in and reported to Xia Rui that the emperor had summoned, so Xia Rui had no choice but to let Yun Xiao replace him and temporarily entertain Dugu Yexue, while he himself followed the palace people to the Chengqian Palace.
When Xia Rui was far away, Yun Xiao called Qianyue and Qianyun in again, and asked the two of them to find an excuse to send away all the palace people standing outside, and then guard outside for themselves and not let anyone in.
Waiting for Qianyun and Qianyue to arrange the things outside, Yun Xiao told Dugu Yexue about the troubles he encountered in the palace during this time.
Here, after listening to Dugu Yexue, she let out a long sigh and frowned:
"Yun Xiao, the people in the palace, in their spare time, like to use these things to pass the time, after all...... The deep palace is lonely, and there are many rights and wrongs, alas...... Your physique will indeed bring you a lot of trouble in the palace, since you can distinguish the poison, then you also know what kind of symptoms will appear after being poisoned, so you might as well put on a dress, you are a woman, women are as weak as water, and the body is weaker, which is not uncommon! ”
"But...... Master, if I pretend to be poisoned, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites an imperial doctor for me, and the imperial doctor checks my pulse and finds that I am actually fine, then wouldn't I be a goof?! At that time, how will I explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? teasing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a small crime. Moreover, I heard that the imperial doctors in the palace are very powerful, and my physique is different from ordinary people, will the imperial doctor see through it?! ”
Dugu Yexue pondered for a moment and said to Yun Xiao:
"Yun Xiao, don't you plan to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about his physique being different from ordinary people? You are born with good resistance, not some evil, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still very attentive to you, if you patiently talk to him, he may not understand you! ”
However, Yun Xiao still had hesitation in her heart, her face was full of sadness, and her frowning eyebrows were like a lake swept by the breeze, with a touch of helplessness and sadness:
"Master, I know His Royal Highness the Prince's intentions, and I also know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really likes me, and I have also thought about confessing this matter to His Royal Highness the Prince, but ...... However, in this court, how luxurious is love?! I really don't dare to ask for too much, not to mention, he is about to become the king of a country, and there will be more concubines in the future, I really don't know how long the current love can last! ”
Yun Xiao's worries are actually reasonable, but in Dugu Yexue's opinion, feelings are too delicate and ever-changing, and no one can be sure of what will happen in the future, so he comforted:
"Yun Xiao, you have to understand that any relationship needs to be carefully maintained for a long time, you are the main room of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the concubines after him are just his concubines, which cannot be compared with you, not to mention, behind you, there is still the Yun family, you really don't need to worry so much! Sometimes, it will be better if you let go of your knots, go with the flow, and do what you want to do! ”
Speaking of this, Dugu Yexue picked up the teacup, took a few sips of tea, and then continued,
"If you are still not at ease, you can ask your father to help you arrange a trustworthy imperial doctor in the imperial hospital, who will be specially dispatched by you to cover for you, as for the ...... You're worried that other imperial doctors will see through your physique, and I'll go back and think about it again......"
Yun Xiao was very happy when she heard this, and she said:
"Then this matter will trouble Master, I will ask my father to help me arrange a royal doctor in the palace, and ask Master to inform my father in detail about my physique, but the less people know about this matter, the better!"
"Don't worry, score an inch for Shi Xiao......"
Speaking of this, Dugu Yexue remembered something again, and he said:
"Then again, although you didn't mention these things in your letter, I also know that you must have a hard time in the palace, so before entering the palace today, I have already made a divination for you!"
Yun Xiao hurriedly asked, "What does the hexagram say?" ”
Dugu Yexue didn't answer directly, but said, "It's not very good......
He suddenly looked out the window, and although the snow outside the window had stopped, it had wrapped the ground in a thin layer of "white clothes".
Dugu Yexue looked at Yun Xiao with deep eyes, and then said,
"This winter, it's not too cold, but the emperor's body, after the toss of the holy water beads, I'm afraid it won't last too long......"
When Yun Xiao heard this, his heart seemed to skip a beat, and that feeling was like when he went downstairs, he suddenly stepped into the air.
Yun Xiao clenched his hands tightly under the table, fixed his chaotic thoughts, and then, said:
"Master is the best at medicine, is there no way? In the past few days, when I met the emperor, there was nothing wrong with him except for the tired look on his face! I always thought that the emperor's body was slowly recovering, and when it came to spring, he would be able to be the same again......"
However, Dugu Yexue shook her head, sighed, and said:
"What you see is just appearances, maybe...... The emperor himself thinks like you! However, the poison of fire extract has invaded the emperor's viscera, and the medicine alone cannot be exhausted, and in addition, the emperor is old, has been dealing with state affairs for many years, and has become ill from hard work, and now he has rushed to the court, and has not been fully recuperated, and the internal friction is too great......"
When Yun Xiao heard this, he was suddenly very sad.
She thought, if she had discovered the conspiracy in the Holy Water Bead earlier and invited the master for the emperor earlier, would she have been able to change all this?
She asked in a low voice, "Master, is it for this reason that you agreed to allow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stay in the court?" I know that you didn't intend to be an official in the first place......"
When Dugu Yexue heard this, he looked at Yun Xiao fixedly, and his eyes were full of love.
Actually, it's not just that...... Yun Xiao, in my life, I only accepted you as an apprentice, you have always been very competitive, not only learned everything I taught you, but also extremely calm and sensitive, I am really grateful! It stands to reason that if you are in trouble, I should have helped you! During this time, I lived in Yunfu and talked a lot with your father, the situation of the empire is about to change, the Yun family and you, or ...... Everyone in this Great Xia Kingdom will go to the unknown side, so it is difficult for me to be alone! ”
