Chapter 297: Decoction
The stove was lit, and the medicine was boiled.
Yan Suwen handed the small fan used for the stove to the maid of Xie Hou's Mansion and instructed, "Be careful, don't let this fire get too big." After three bowls of water boiled into one bowl of water, the fire was extinguished, and then the medicine I had left here was put in it, and it was good to simmer for a while. ”
"Yes, ma'am, the slave has written it down."
"It's okay, it's okay, if she can't remember, I'll remind her." Princess Beiliao came over: "Sister Yan, let me watch this decoction work." This Xie Xiaohou Ye is also my life-saving benefactor, and I will help him see the medicine, which should be regarded as repaying him for saving his life. ”
"Look at a medicine to repay the life-saving grace? Princess, don't you think this thank you gift is a bit light? Yan Suwen was about to go back to the house to see Xiao Hou Xie's condition again, when he heard the words of Princess Beiliao, he stopped directly.
"It's a little light, so according to the habits of your Great Wei people, how should this life-saving grace be repaid?"
"This, ah......" Yan Su asked deliberately sold a pass, and when she saw that the princess was in a hurry, she said slowly: "If you meet someone who looks ugly, is old, or doesn't like you, just say that the little girl will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay her kindness." If you meet someone who is good-looking, young, or in your own photo, just say that the little woman is willing to make a promise. ”
"Promise by example?" Princess Beiliao's face turned slightly redder.
"That's right, it means to marry each other with your body. Princess, what do you think of this little marquis? I heard my grandfather say that the little marquis of the Xie family is young and promising, and he is a rare young man who is not arrogant or impatient among the children of the royal family, and is very motivated. The most important thing is that the family has not yet married. Also, the Xie Hou Mansion, like my Prime Minister's Mansion, has a default unwritten rule, that is, all men in the family can only marry wives and cannot take concubines. This is really a lifetime couple. ”
"Yes, my little marquis hasn't married yet? There are a lot of people in this Yecheng who come to our Hou Mansion to say goodbye, but none of the little Hou Ye are in love. The little maid who was tormenting also interjected.
"Then do you know what kind of girls your little marquis likes?" Princess Beiliao asked quietly.
"Well, I don't know what our little marquis likes, but I know very well what he doesn't like." The maidservant carefully fanned the fire, and generally said: "Our little marquis doesn't like that kind of sticky girl very much, and I don't like the kind of girl who is delicate and sheds tears at every turn." The little marquis said, that kind of girl, which makes people upset, how can she like it. ”
"It's okay, I'm not that kind of girl." Princess Beiliao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Su asked to look at her, and then at the sick little Hou Ye Xie who was lying in the house, and realized the importance of curing the little Hou Ye. If this Xie Xiaohou really had any feelings for the princess of Northern Liao, wouldn't the matter of the Great Wei and the Northern Liao be resolved.
Thinking of this, she looked at Princess Beiliao and smiled easily, turned around and entered the house.
Xiao Houye's illness is indeed a little difficult, but with acupuncture, plus drug assistance, and careful conditioning, it can still be gradually cured, but this disease is not easy to get to the root.
Yan Suwen told Mrs. Xie Hou all the results of her diagnosis, and although Mrs. Xie Hou was a little difficult to accept, she also acquiesced to the diagnosis.
"I understand Mrs. Gu's words, I just want to ask one more question, is my son's illness menacing every time, and I can't make any predictions? Madame didn't know that this child had a wild temperament, and he couldn't stay in the Hou Mansion, so he always liked to run outside. If you stay in the house and get sick, we can still take care of it. I really can't deal with it, and I can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find my wife. But what if he was out there when he was sick? I only had such a son with Hou Ye, if he has a good one, we really can't live. ”
"Mrs. Xie Hou doesn't have to worry, if the disease of Little Hou Ye is properly controlled, it will not spread to such a serious point. Well, I'll go back and make some small, portable pills. Mrs. asked the little marquis to stay on her body at any time, and when she felt unwell, she would take it out and eat one. This disease, at the beginning, the little marquis will feel itchy and dry in the throat, followed by a slight pain in the abdomen, at this time taking medicine, most of it can be controlled, if it is delayed, it must be relieved by acupuncture and medicine. ”
"Remembered, then this pill—"
"Madame, don't worry, when it is made, I will ask my personal maid to send it over."
"There's Mrs. Law. Come, prepare the carriage, and send the lady back. Mrs. Xie Hou instructed and asked Yan Su: "It is not uncommon to know that Mrs. has anything, but if I send Mrs. back empty-handed, I will not be able to do it." The carriage resting on it is a small gift for Madame, please don't dislike Madame. ”
"Madame Xie Hou is polite." Yan Suwen lightly blessed: "Since it was given by Mrs., Suwen accepted it." ”
"Take it, I'll like your temperament, madam. What there is what it is, unlike those people next to her, who have to guess the other party's mind when she says something, and think about whether what she thinks in her heart is like this. Tired of talking, getting along with each other, and tired of doing anything. ”
"Mrs. Xie praises, I, I want to learn the kind of speech that goes around the corner, but I can't learn it because of my straight nature." Yan Su asked and smiled, and blessed Mrs. Xie Hou again, and when she got up, she shouted at Princess Beiliao who was still guarding the stove: "Princess, it's time for us to go home." ”
"But this medicine hasn't been fried yet."
"Don't worry, princess, I will take care of this medicine myself."
"That's not possible, I said it, I'm going to see it for myself. Otherwise, I won't go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and I'll go back when the little marquis drinks this medicine and his condition is stable. When I go back this time, I can just talk to Sister Yan about the condition of the little marquis. Sister Yan, what do you think of my idea? Princess Beiliao said as she stared at the fire in the stove with her eyes.
"What does Madame Xie Hou think?"
"The princess is willing to stay, of course our Hou Mansion welcomes it. In this case, I will ask the girl to clean up the courtyard next door for the princess to rest for a while. The courtyard, although it is not large, is very exquisite. The concubines in this palace are here, and they all live in the courtyard next door. As for the things used in it, I'll let the girls replace them with new ones later. ”
"Don't bother, I'll just live here with the little marquis, I see, there are a lot of rooms here. Although I am the princess of Beiliao, I am not so pretentious. Mrs. Hou only needs to prepare a new futon for me, and I can do everything else. ”
"The princess wants to live in this courtyard?" Mrs. Xie Hou's expression was a little embarrassed.
"What? Can't you? Princess Beiliao first looked at the little maid who was decocting medicine, and then her gaze fell on Yan Suwen's face: "Sister Yan, can't you?" ”
"It's not impossible, it's just that there is a saying in our Great Wei, which is called that men and women are not clear. The princess and Xie Xiaohou are unmarried, and the woman is unmarried, if you live in the same courtyard, I am afraid that it will not be good to the princess. ”
"What's so bad about it, this lives in the same yard, he can still eat me. Not to mention that he is sick and crooked now, even if he is good, he may not necessarily touch me. He's a good guy, though, his temper is a little stinky, and he doesn't like to deal with people. ”
"My son has a bad temper?" Mrs. Xie Hou looked at Princess Beiliao and smiled: "Indeed, his stinky temper is really unbearable with his father." ”
"This princess is not from your Great Wei, so I don't care what kind of man or woman you give or receive kisses. Princess Ben only knew that since these words came out of her mouth, she had to do them, and she said that to see medicine is to see medicine. Besides, this is the courtyard of the little marquis of your Hou Mansion, if you don't say it, the people below will not talk much, how can others know that I live here. ”
"There is some truth in what the princess said. In that case, let's just follow the princess's temperament. Yan Suwen said this to Mrs. Xie Hou.
Although Mrs. Xie Hou was still a little hesitant in her heart, she also responded to Yan Suwen's face, and immediately ordered the maid to clean up the best guest room in this courtyard.
When I went out of the Hou Mansion, I saw Gu Changfeng riding next to the carriage, he was still dressed in court clothes, and I don't know if he just came out of the palace, or if he changed his clothes and was about to enter the palace.
"Husband, did you just come out of the palace, or are you about to enter the palace? It's all this time, why are you still wearing court clothes? Wearing court clothes, why is he still standing in front of the door of the Hou Ye Xie. I don't know this, I thought that husband, you are here to discuss with the Hou Ye. ”
"Xie Hou went out of the city on an errand, and I talked to him about something. I'm here to find my wife, and I'm here to take her into the palace. ”
"Entering the palace? Isn't it time to go home? ”
"Something happened to the emperor."
"Your Majesty?" Yan Suwen walked a few steps quickly, and when he came to Gu Changfeng, he lowered his voice and said, "He was assassinated?" ”
Gu Changfeng shook his head.
"It's not an assassination, it's poisoned by which concubine in the harem?"
Gu Changfeng stretched out his hand and scooped Yan Suwen onto the horse: "It's not a stabbing, but it's not poisoning, I have to ask my wife to go into the palace to have a look." ”
"What about the Imperial Doctor? Isn't there a royal doctor in this palace? ”
"The emperor can't trust the imperial doctor."
"Can't trust the Imperial Doctor? If you can't trust the imperial doctor, what are you asking me to do in the palace, the emperor has not forgotten that there are a lot of imperial doctors in my Yan family. ”
"The emperor is not referring to those people from your Yan family." Gu Changfeng smiled helplessly: "Your eldest brother is also in the palace, but the emperor's illness is strange, he has no idea for a while, so the emperor asked me to take you into the palace and let you discuss with your eldest brother." ”
"Strange illness again?" Yan Su asked and glanced at Xie Hou's Mansion: "How did I encounter such a strange illness today?" ”
