Chapter 006: A Bowl of Medicine
Mengqing's heart was suddenly hit by something, and her soft voice, like a coquette, was standing up for her.
After her parents died, in addition to her grandfather, this was the first time that someone stood up for her.
Meng's soft voice softened, but she had to say, "This is the harem, you are a man, if they see it, I will be killed by the emperor." ”
"No, it won't!" Allure said firmly, "I won't let people bully you. ”
Does this fool not understand? "Who are you when you are? The Emperor? ”
Allure lowered his eyes aggrievedly and muttered, "Not anyway." ”
"Okay, no, but when I beg you, don't ...... again"
A bag of blue-brown mud and sand was handed to her, and the delicate and soft soil was pinched in her hand, which was more fascinating than rouge gouache.
"You...... That's what you're here to send me today? Mengqing was a little ashamed.
"You don't like it?" She liked it very much last time.
"Yes, of course I do." She just asked, and he would take her words to heart, and there was a hint of emotion and uneasiness in his eyes.
When Allure heard this, she instantly raised her head, and the tall man only left her with a proud chin.
Hum! Ignore her, I had to drive him away just now.
This bag of soil is more precious than anything else, and it would be better if I could have a few more packets, "Whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you." "Actually, she's pretty much done.
"Everything." Allure stared at her hand, slender and white, and touched him just now, and the slightest strangeness appeared on his chest again.
Meng Qing walked out, only took a few steps, and suddenly remembered: "What are you doing with my hairpin?" ”
Allure raised the step in his hand high, and his eyes flashed with a small light waiting for her praise.
"This ......"
She didn't pay much attention to the hair ornament on her head, but she was sure that what she was holding in the phoenix's mouth was a white pearl, but at this moment, it was replaced by a blood-red gemstone bead.
Said it was a gem, and if you look closely, it was the same as the previous ones he gave her, and there was still a strange small beast pattern in the semi-transparent inside, the size of a grain of rice, dark red and dark red.
Allure snatched it again, grabbed her head directly, and inserted it in the original position.
Dream stroked her hair and asked, "How many of these beads do you have?" ”
Allure's expression was a little lost: "The last one." Then his eyes flashed again: "I'll find it for you again." ”
In the blink of an eye, the man was back on the beam, and this guy was not a bat.
Mengqing returned to the porch and cut vegetables and cooked by herself, not that she didn't go to investigate the cause of death of this body, but that she wouldn't stay in this palace for long, but she would not be free from the suspicion of those concubines.
As long as they don't come to provoke again, she can't see it, even if she takes revenge, what's the point in this deep palace that eats people and doesn't spit out bones.
Now she just wants to get rid of the cub in her belly as soon as possible, so she finds a way to leave the palace and continue her purple sand business.
But why don't you get some luck first? Leaving the palace requires silver everywhere, but she has no one to rely on......
"! What do you think? ”
Dream patted his chest, "I'm going to die, why are you so loud?" ”
"Slaves deserve to die." Yimo didn't kneel, but leaned into her ear and whispered, "Aunt Qiu is gone again." ”
"But you went with Mrs. Lin?" When Empress Meng was canonized, Lin Meiniang had already been raised, and it was understandable that she was bought.
Yimo shook his head, his expression was a little solemn: "In the past few days, it will almost disappear at this hour." ”
"Maybe there's something."
Meng said lightly, but she had a measure in her heart, if she followed another master, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
"Mother's ......"
"Okay, she's not here, how about giving you all the delicious food to eat alone?"
Meng lightly took the potatoes out of the pot, sprinkled with minced garlic, green onions, coriander, and some seasonings, and a crispy plate of wolf's tooth potatoes came out of the pot.
But the guy loves meat, so she fried a few more pieces of beef jerky, left some for Yi Mo, and brought the rest in.
In the afternoon, Aunt Qiu came in with a bowl of medicine.
"Queen Mother, this is the tonic medicine that the Tai Hospital has prepared for you, to nourish your body, you should drink it while it is hot."
Meng stared at the bowl of dark brown decoction, and for a moment his heart was excited, apprehensive, and a little uneasy.
The hand unconsciously fell on her stomach, she was not sure that this medicine was unreliable, and she had died once, but she cherished life even more.
Reaching out to take it, the thick bitter smell filled the tip of her nose, and her stomach tumbled, and she spit it out with a wow, and all the wolf's tooth potatoes at noon were eaten in vain.
Aunt Qiu was so frightened that she took the bowl of soup and medicine, for fear of spilling half a drop.
Yi Mo, who came in from outside, saw this scene and was immediately annoyed: "Aunt Qiu, that bowl of medicine is heavier than the queen's phoenix body?" ”
"What did Mo Yatou say, this tonic is full of these rare medicinal materials, the old slave is not afraid of bad practice." Aunt Qiu put the bowl of medicine on the small table on the side, and then she left her hand to pour a cup of tea and handed it over: "Niangniang, rinse your mouth first." ”
Dream rinsed her mouth lightly, and finally suppressed the sour nausea.
She is not afraid of taking Chinese medicine, and now that her body has a pregnancy reaction, she is so sensitive.
Aunt Qiu smiled gently and handed the bowl over again.
Yimo felt sorry for Niangniang, "Aunt Qiu, this medicine Niangniang is very disgusting, or don't eat it, the slave maid looks at Niangniang's recent health and is getting better, maybe there is no need to rely on this medicine to make supplements." ”
"This stupid girl, Aunt Qiu is from here, no matter how good the food is, it can't be thoughtful from the doctor's medicine, let's drink it, the old slave has prepared candied fruit for you, you drink it and take a sip."
Mengqing couldn't help but glance at her, reached out and took the medicine, but he was not in a hurry to drink it.
The thick black soup is still steaming, and you can smell the bitter and fishy smell inside from a foot away.
I have gone through the important tastes in my mind, and I am afraid that only snakes and insects will have such a big taste.
Snake ......
Leech!
Leeches, earth dragons, and turtle insects, these medicines can be aborted, and the medicine is violent, as far as her body has just come to life, I am afraid that a bowl of medicine can return to the West, what a ruthless means!
Her brows were deeply locked, and Aunt Qiu was only worried that this medicine was difficult to eat, and she coaxed vigorously beside her, like a child who was luring and crying to find her mother.
"You can use such an unpleasant medicine, but Imperial Doctor Zhou prescribed it? Look at the palace and turn around and don't reward him for the board. She gestured for a drink, and brought the bowl a little closer.
The smile on Aunt Qiu's face froze, and then she said: "Master Yuan Shi personally gave the slave maid, presumably hoping that the mother was in good health, and she did her best." ”
Mengqing's hand holding the bowl suddenly tightened, isn't it Imperial Doctor Zhou?
She quietly put the medicine to her lips, and as soon as she tasted the taste, there was a "wow" sound, and it sprayed all over the ground, along with the bowl of medicine, and fell directly to the ground.
Aunt Qiu's face turned pale, "Niangniang! This ......"
Meng lightly held his forehead and lay on the edge of the soft couch, "uncomfortable", "Aunt Qiu, you are blind to this mind, if you don't ask the imperial doctor for a recipe that the palace can drink, this is really too bitter." ”
"Okay, okay, slave and maid will go."
As soon as Aunt Qiu went out, Meng Qing immediately called to her with Mo, "This palace is really uncomfortable, help this palace to go out to breathe." ”
"Okay."
Mengqing didn't go anywhere else, and went directly into the small kitchen, so that Yimo was guarding the door and no one was allowed to let in.
If the queen is pregnant and does not report such a big thing, it is a dereliction of duty by the imperial doctor, and Zhou Shiwen does not have the courage to tell the second person, but the history of the hospital actually learned that the abortion medicine was also sent, how could things be so coincidental?
There is still a warm medicine pot on the stove, but it is already empty, and it is even more unspeakable that even the medicine residue can be disposed of after such a while.
"Is Niang Niang looking for medicine residue? Look inside the stove. Yimo reminded that she was familiar with the tricks of decoction in the palace.
Mengqing opened the stove and saw that it was a black pile inside, and she took a piece of firewood and pulled out some of it.
Yimo suddenly exclaimed: "Leech! ”
Dream looked at the past, the two looked at each other, one frightened and the other clear.
Yimo bit her fingers, her face was as white as paper, even if she didn't know what medicinal herbs she had, how could she not recognize those ordinary things, what kind of tonic was this!
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Mengqing hurriedly stuffed the medicine residue back into the stove.
When Aunt Qiu pushed open the kitchen door, Yi Mo was scooping water, and the queen was in the fondant pot.
She looked at the stove and saw that there was no vision, so she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "Niangniang, why did you come to the kitchen?" ”
"It's not that the medicine is making trouble, and the mother who hurts her heart is uncomfortable, so get some sweet soup and press it." Emo doesn't have a good airway.
"Niangniang, it's enough to let the old slave come to such a trivial matter, how can you bother Niangniang to do it herself?" Roll up your sleeves and go to help.
Dream glanced at her, "Aunt Qiu didn't go to the Tai Hospital?" Why did you get back so quickly? ”
"Huh...... The old slave forgot, the master of the courtyard took medicine for the slave and went to the doctor, I heard that Xiangguo was sick, and he went on the emperor's order, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come back for a while. ”
Mengqing couldn't help but sarcastically: "The minister is like a sibling, the concubine is like a dress, and if you are sick and die, you will change a batch!" There was a sudden fire in his heart, and the sugar jar in his hand was thrown on the shelf: "Yimo, don't be busy, my nausea is over, go and call Imperial Doctor Zhou, this palace wants to ask him, is this how he is responsible for the medicine of this palace?" ”
"Niangniang......" Aunt Qiu hurriedly caught up.
"This palace is upset today, Aunt Qiu is old and rests early, don't touch the brows of this palace to make people feel mean and unkind."
Aunt Qiu didn't dare to follow again, and when she looked back, she didn't think that the queen mother was in the know, so what the hell was going on?
But if she didn't drink the medicine, how would she explain it to her master?
Yimo didn't dare to send others, and hurried all the way to the Tai Hospital, but when he got there, he saw an old academician, saying that Zhou Shiwen had resigned.
He also handed her a bag of silver, and Yi Mo looked at it, isn't it the queen's mother who rewarded her that day, this is to repay the money and avoid disasters, and the two are clear!
Meng Qing saw her coming back from outside with an angry face, and guessed seven or eight points in her heart: "Imperial Doctor Zhou ignores you?" ”
Yimo put the silver in his hand in front of the mother, feeling that he was really shameless, and he was also the queen's mother, so he couldn't support the master, and let the master even have the anger of a royal doctor, "Imperial Doctor Zhou...... Resigned. ”
The dream is light, but she, the queen, is not powerful, and the Hou Mansion is even more lonely, what is he afraid of?
Outside the door, there was a report from the palace maid: "Queen Mother, Concubine Xian sent someone to send the account book for the Queen Mother to see." ”
