Nan Jinyan didn't know how long he had been running, he only felt that it was getting more and more remote, he gradually slowed down, and under the red palace walls on both sides, dwarf weeds grew up, and the bricks on the road were a little broken, and some were already loose.

It seemed to be abandoned for a long time, and it looked eerie, and Nan Jinyan was about to turn around and go back, when the oncoming wind brought a smell of something burning.

He treked a few more steps forward, passed through a dilapidated palace gate, and entered a courtyard.

The surrounding courtyard walls are decaying, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, very lush, but the middle one has fallen to the ground, and it is still fresh, as if it has just been stepped out of a road, Nan Jinyan was stunned, someone?

He continued to walk along the path he had trodden on, and the grass on both sides grew deeper and deeper, barely reaching his knees.

At the end of the path was a ruined, carved gatehouse, two doors that were hidden, and from which the smell of smoke wafted out.

Nan Jinyan leaned against the crack in the door and looked in, and a thick smoke drifted in, so smoke that he couldn't open his eyes.

He fanned it with his hand, and when he looked over again, there were five or six eunuchs inside, each with a face veil over his face.

A few young ones were digging in the ground, some were using dry branches to light the fire, and an older eunuch stood by with his waist crossed, as if directing them.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the smoke was blown away, and Nan Jinyan saw a straw mat on the ground next to the big eunuch, and there was ...... inside There was a person wrapped inside, and judging from the exposed clothes, it should be a palace maid.

"Hurry up, be quick, and burn this scourge ......," said the great eunuch.

Nan Jinyan gently pushed open the door, covered her mouth and nose with one hand, kept fanning the smoke with the other, and tiptoed over.

While the eunuchs were not paying attention, he quickly lifted the straw mat, and the people in the banquet were covered with blisters, and in some places they had festered, and their faces were hideous.

Nan Jinyan sat on the ground in fright, screamed in shock, and several eunuchs looked back and saw that it was the third prince.

Looking down again, the straw mat had been lifted by him, and the eunuchs' faces suddenly turned pale with fright. Before they could come back to their senses, Nan Jinyan had already gotten up and ran towards the door.

"I'm going to report to the emperor......" A little eunuch was about to leave, but was grabbed by the big eunuch.

The great eunuch glared at him angrily, gritted his teeth and roared, "Are you crazy? If the Holy One knew about this, none of us would have survived! ”

When a few people heard this, they were all stunned, "Then, according to you, what should we do?" ”

"Listen to it all!" The big eunuch's eyes widened, "No one is allowed to say anything about today's affairs, if anyone asks, just say that when we get back the firewood, the straw mat has already been moved......" The old eunuch squinted his eyes and looked at them, and said sharply: "If you want to live, keep your mouth shut for me!" ”

"Will the Holy One ...... us all in a fit of rage?" a little eunuch's voice trembled with fright.

The big eunuch thought for a while, and had an idea: "This palace maid was originally from Ning Guiren's palace, and it was she who was afraid of the saint's blame, so she gave us benefits, and let her secretly help her deal with it, remember, this disaster was caused by her, we did what we were told, and we didn't dare to disobey, so it has nothing to do with us......"

Several little eunuchs nodded one after another.

……

Nan Jinyan came out of the courtyard, and when she thought of the appearance of the palace maid, her stomach turned over.

His face was bloodless, his expression was in a trance, and he staggered back to the dormitory and hid under the quilt.

The maidservant who served him didn't know what was wrong with him, and looked strange and scary, so she immediately told the queen.

"How could this be so sudden?" The queen slowly flicked the Buddhist beads in her hand, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, if the emperor knew, I am afraid that he would blame, "Ji Rong, you go to see it for the palace." The queen closed her eyes and quickly fiddled with the beads.

Aunt Ji Rong didn't like Nan Jinyan, so when she came to the door of the dormitory, she didn't go inside, but only asked loudly: "Third Highness!" Are you alright? ”

For a long time, there was no sound at all, Ji Rong noticed something wrong, she also panicked, and hurriedly walked in, and when she looked, Nan Jinyan was lying on the bed and drowsy, with sporadic blisters on her face and hands, this is ......

Ji Rong immediately took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to block her mouth and nose, and told the maid not to get close, and then rushed back to the queen's bedroom, and said in a panic: "Niangniang, something happened to Niangniang!" Three Highnesses, Three Highnesses, he seems to have smallpox! ”

"What?" The queen was surprised, "Can you see clearly?" ”

Aunt Ji Rong knelt on the ground and said urgently: "Slave, slave and maid will not be mistaken!" ”

The Buddha bead in the queen's hand fell to the ground with a click, and she said in shock: "Quick! Tell the emperor and pass on the imperial doctor! And also...... Quickly invite the medical officer Miaojing and tell her that the Third Highness has smallpox! "The queen's frightened legs are weak, how can I explain to the emperor now!" Command, let no one come near! ”

In an instant, the queen's bedroom seemed to be facing a great enemy, Aunt Ji Rong personally commanded, and the palace maids and eunuchs were all windy.

After a while, the emperor rushed over with the imperial doctor and grandmothers, and the queen and the palace people stood at the door of the palace to pick up the car.

She took off the handkerchief from her side and prepared to salute, Nan Xiao passed by as if she didn't see her, and without looking back, she took the group and went straight to Nan Jinyan's dormitory.

The queen knew that she hadn't been able to take care of Nan Jinyan, but in front of everyone, he put her aside and let her majesty as the queen be?

She pulled the handkerchief in her hand fiercely, holding back the tears in her eyes, in Nan Xiao's heart, is she, the queen, just an ornament?

Aunt Ji Rong looked at it, distressed, she leaned into the queen's ear and said softly: "Niangniang, the slave maid has an idea, it is better to find a reliable and pleasing to Your Majesty, if you are favored in the future, blow the wind in Your Majesty's ear, won't it be easy to do things?" ”

The queen felt that this was a feasible solution, but it was ...... Where to find such a person?

Suddenly, Miaojing came with Lin Miaoyin, although Miaoyin was only five years old, but she had been studying medicine with Miaojing for more than a year, but she was a good helper.

The imperial doctors saw it, as if they were facing a great enemy, they were all cowardly, and it was easy to change to others, but in front of them were the three princes, and if they were not careful, they would die!

They discussed and discussed, treating Nan Jinyan as a hot potato, passing the buck to each other, and they couldn't come up with a quick and effective way for a long time.

She has always been the queen's royal female medical officer, the emperor has heard her name, but has never seen it, Miao Jing came from outside the door, as if from the ninefold world mortal fairy, Nan Xiao's originally calm heart, ripples.

As soon as those imperial doctors heard that Dr. Miao Jing was coming, they all seemed to see a life-saving straw, and finally someone came to carry the pot for them.

"Medical girl Miaojing, see Your Majesty." Miao Jing salutes.

Nan Xiao came back to his senses, looked at Miao Jing like a fairy, and said softly: "No courtesy." ”

As soon as Miao Jing stepped into the dormitory, the imperial doctors couldn't wait to retreat, leaving only their mother and daughter, so that she could concentrate on healing the three princes.

Nan Jinyan had a high fever that did not go away, and he felt groggy that someone was undressing him, slowly opened his eyes, and saw the face of the female medical officer Miaojing in a daze, and glanced to the side, it was a pair of big and round eyes, was she? Lin Miaoyin......

"It's you......" Nan Jinyan smiled at Lin Miaoyin.

"Shh......h Don't speak, Your Royal Highness, you have to rest well, and your mother will definitely cure you. Although through the face towel, Lin Miaoyin's voice was still clear.

Nan Jinyan nodded obediently.

After a long time, Miao Jing took Lin Miaoyin out of the dormitory, "Your Majesty, I have taken medicine for the Third Highness and applied ointment to my body, fortunately, I found it in time, when His Highness has a fever tomorrow, I will come to administer needles to His Royal Highness, and I will be cured soon." ”

Nan Xiao looked at Miao Jing and fell into a trance, and her father-in-law reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty." ”

"Oh...... Okay, that's the hard work of Dr. Miaojing. Nan Xiao's eyes seemed to grow on Miao Jing.

The queen silently watched all this.

"Then, the minister retired first." Miao Jing saw the salute, she felt that Nan Xiao's eyes made her very uncomfortable.

Nan Xiao hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Miaojing, but she cleverly dodged it, he leaned into his father-in-law's ear and asked, "Do you know this Miaojing doctor?" ”

"The old slave has heard of it before, but I haven't seen it, but she seems to be the wife of General Lin Song." The father-in-law replied softly.

"Lin Song?" Nan Xiao frowned slightly, and sighed silently in his heart, this Lin Song is a rough person, and there is such a beautiful lady......

After Miao Jing left, Nan Xiao had been accompanying Nan Jinyan in the dormitory, and he didn't return to his dormitory until late at night when Nan Jinyan had subsided from the high fever.

Early the next morning, Nan Xiao ordered someone to thoroughly investigate Nan Jinyan's smallpox, and then drove to Nan Jinyan's bedroom, which had been isolated by the imperial doctors, and no one was allowed to enter, even the queen could only stop, which was just right, and she didn't plan to go.

Seeing that Nan Xiao was slightly tired sitting on the sedan chair, the queen said with concern: "Your Majesty, you only went back so late last night, and you came in a hurry this morning, why don't you go to the concubine's place to take a nap?" ”

Nan Xiao heard that Miao Jing was already giving Nan Jinyan an injection, thinking that she would see her again in a while, she was secretly happy, she didn't even look at the queen, and replied, "No need." ”

Inside the house, Nan Jinyan's spirit was much better than yesterday, at least he could see Lin Miaoyin clearly, he thought that he could only see her from afar, but he didn't expect that this illness sent Lin Miaoyin to him.

"Miao Yin, apply this ointment to the Third Highness, and the movements should be gentle, do not touch the affected area, otherwise it will be infected." Miao Jing then added, "Remember, don't break the blisters. ”

Nan Jinyan listened, contagious? Seeing Lin Miaoyin walking towards him step by step with the ointment, he quickly moved in, covered his mouth with the quilt and said, "Don't come here!" Worry passed on to you! ”

Lin Miaoyin took another step forward, and Nan Jinyan shouted: "Stand there!" Don't move! ”

"Mother, Your Highness won't let me go." Lin Miaoyin held the ointment in her hand and asked Miaojing for help with an aggrieved expression.

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness to be so kind-hearted, thank you Your Highness for your concern for Miaoyin......" Miaojing smiled with relief, and it was not in vain that she rescued her, "Give me the ointment, or my mother." ”

Lin Miaoyin handed the ointment to Miaojing, stood in place and asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you better?" ”

"Hmm!" Nan Jinyan nodded embarrassedly.

Lin Miaoyin saw that Nan Jinyan's face was a little red, and she covered her mouth and smiled: "Mother, Your Highness is shy!" ”

"Miao Yin, how can you be rude?" Miao Jing bluffed her.

"It doesn't matter." Nan Jinyan smiled slightly.

Lin Miaoyin said with a smile: "My name is Lin Miaoyin!" What is the name of His Highness? ”

"Nan Jinyan."

"Miaoyin, go and get the bottle of medicine on the table, and I'll feed it to His Highness." Miaojing commanded, and handed the ointment to Lin Miaoyin.

Lin Miaoyin put the ointment back on the table, picked up the medicine bottle and handed it to Miao Jing, Miao Jing shook out a pill from the bottle and put it in the spoon, gently convinced Nan Jinyan, got up and sat down at the table, and wrote the prescription on the table.

Lin Miaoyin saw Nan Jinyan frowning, reached out and took out a small blue satin purse from her arms, took out a sour plum from it, carefully put it on the spoon, fed it to Nan Jinyan's mouth, and said with a smile: "The medicine is bitter, and it will not be bitter in your mouth after a while." ”

"Thank you." Nan Jinyan smiled at Lin Miaoyin a little shyly, "It's delicious." ”

His Royal Highness actually said that this sour plum is delicious? Could it be that these three highnesses like to eat sour things? Anyway, she can't eat it herself, just thinking of the word sour plum, her teeth are so crispy, Lin Miaoyin asked curiously: "Your Highness likes to eat sour plum?" ”

Yes? Nan Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know why, so the ghost envoy nodded.

……

Outside the dormitory, the guards came with the news, saying that a maid died in Ning Guiren's palace yesterday, as if the symptoms were the same as those of the Third Highness, and the imperial doctor had been dispatched, and the dormitory was also isolated.

"Why was Jin Yan dyed? The queen's bedroom is so far away from that nobleman, continue to investigate! Nan Xiao angrily reprimanded: "Anyone involved will be punished as murdering the prince!" ”

"Yes!" The Guardian Commander commands.

"Spread my will, Ning Guiren caused trouble in the palace, wanted to murder the emperor's heir, had ill intentions, lost virtue, and gave Bai Aya." Nan Xiao's tone was calm and full of anger.

The queen looked at it, and her heart was already filled with resentment, once for a Hui Guifei, he executed all the midwives, and now, for Nan Jinyan, he wants to give a noble person to death!

She and the crown prince have never been protected by Nan Xiao like this, she can endure it, for the sake of her son's crown prince, she can do anything, and she can endure it!

"Niangniang, don't care too much, don't be angry...... Aunt Ji Rong whispered in a low voice, she knows the queen best, so the queen's mood at the moment, she couldn't be clearer.

The queen turned around and said lightly: "Since His Royal Highness already has so many people who care, there is no need for us to worry about it, let's go." Aunt Ji Rong helped her and silently turned around and went back to the dormitory.

Nan Xiao has been guarding the door of Nan Jinyan's dormitory, not leaving an inch, thinking that he can still see Miao Jing, but he received the news that the envoy has returned and is waiting outside the main hall, so he immediately drove back to the Taicheng Palace.
