Chapter 264: Red Bean Birthmark
Things have come to such a situation, if Queen Lin still directly disagrees as she did at the beginning, the consequences will be really unimaginable.
After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but nodded: "If this Doctor Han is really as you said, with such powerful medical skills, it is not impossible to make an exception and let him enter the palace." ”
Xiao Liyue and the others immediately thanked them, and were about to resign to inform Shen Xingliang of the matter, but they heard Queen Lin in the rear stop them.
"Although he was allowed to come in this time, it is just that the name of this entry is not justified, and it must not be publicized. Otherwise, let those old ministers of the previous dynasty make trouble, don't blame him for being directly kicked out of the palace when the time comes. ”
Empress Lin was obviously afraid that this extra person out of thin air would remind people of the former Imperial Doctor Han. If there is anyone who is idle and has nothing to do, and investigates the matter thoroughly, he doesn't know how to end it.
Xiao Liyue and the others naturally knew the seriousness of this matter, and agreed repeatedly, so they left smoothly.
Because of the queen's admonition, Shen Xingliang's becoming the imperial doctor was not well known, but the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau who often met on weekdays knew about it.
Besides, the people of the Imperial Medical Bureau only know how to study herbs and medical skills on weekdays, and they don't have any ideas about fighting in the officialdom, so Shen Xingliang has not had any conflicts in the half month since he entered here.
To those who don't know about this, everything is exactly the same as it used to be.
On this day, Xiao Liyue came to visit with Xiao Chufang with some pastries, saying that she wanted to thank Imperial Doctor Shen for his rescue outside the palace, so she took people to a pavilion more than ten meters away.
Changfeng had already arranged for the secret guards to check around, and after making sure that there were no suspicious faces, Xiao Liyue and the two glanced at each other.
"Brother Shen, when you entered the palace, we promised you one condition, that is, to help you find your wife who was taken away. During this period of time, I have also secretly visited several palace ladies, but I have not found out who is abnormal. I don't know if Brother Shen still remembers any characteristics or birthmarks on your wife's body, so it's easier to find them. ”
When Xiao Liyue spoke, her face was full of distress.
When she first agreed, Xiao Liyue only felt that it was an extremely simple matter. Find a head to gather the palace maids together, and let Shuang'er go to investigate one by one.
After all, these palace maids stay together, and if they have any dissatisfaction in their hearts, they will always talk to the people around them.
In this way, one to ten, ten to hundred, there will always be someone who knows.
But after doing this, no palace maid has similar experience at all. It's like throwing a stone into the sea, Xiao Liyue didn't know what to do for a while.
Shen Xingliang smiled bitterly: "Thank you for the help of the fifth princess, in fact, when I made this request, I never thought that I would be able to see her in this life." After all, the other party was disguised as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the beginning, and he didn't leave any other traces at all. I made this matter so meticulous back then, and now it's probably even more difficult to find her than to ascend to the sky. ”
Taking the teacup on the table, Shen Xingliang drank it directly, his eyes full of bitterness.
During this period of time, he had a discussion with other imperial doctors in the palace, and when he had nothing to do, he discussed the content of medical skills, and the whole person's heart gradually calmed down, and he was no longer so attached to the past.
He even felt that it would be great if life could go on as it is now.
Xiao Liyue looked at him with a depressed face, but when he still couldn't let go of the past, he couldn't help but cheer him up: "Brother Shen, don't be discouraged." With me and the crown prince in the palace to help you find someone, I believe that someone will be found soon. It's just a typical characteristic, you still have to tell us. Otherwise, even if she was standing in front of us, we would have no way of knowing. ”
Seeing that she was so enthusiastic about helping, Shen Xingliang didn't say much else, he could only recall the past, and said quietly: "On her left shoulder, there are two birthmarks the size of red beans, bright colors, like crying blood. ”
Xiao Liyue firmly remembered this passage in her heart, and several people chatted about what they usually saw, and then left.
"Yue'er, do you really think that after so many years in this palace, you can still find Brother Shen's wife?" Xiao Chu, who had never made much noise before, asked tentatively.
Xiao Liyue showed a bitter smile: "After such a long time, a person's voice and smile have naturally changed, and it is not easy to find it." The most important thing is whether the person who captured Brother Shen's wife back then sent his wife to the palace. If it hadn't been sent to the palace at all, we wouldn't have found it even with all our efforts. ”
"You think all of this so clearly, why did you just make a promise?" Xiao Chu's brows furrowed slightly, this was something he couldn't figure out from the beginning.
Xiao Liyue is as smart as ice and snow, so naturally it is impossible not to even think through this matter.
"In life, you always have to have some expectations to live, don't you? Brother Shen has suffered so many changes, and now although he has entered the court as an official, he is obviously still a little unhappy. He has helped me so much for us, and it would be good if I could give him some hope. Xiao Liyue couldn't help but sigh.
Then he noticed that his right shoulder sank, only to realize that it was Xiao Chumad who put his hand on her body and patted it gently as comfort.
"But I always felt that it wasn't going to be that simple. After all, the other party would actually use my face to take away Brother Shen's wife, if it was said that there was no intention, I naturally didn't believe it. Xiao Chufang's brows were always tight, and there was no moment of relaxation.
In fact, since he learned that this matter was related to him, he privately sent Changfeng to find out everything back then.
But this matter seems to have disappeared into the long river of history, even the neighbor who Shen Xingliang said before who had seen him with his own eyes actually disappeared without a trace.
In order to find out the truth of this incident back then, he was afraid that if Shen Xingliang was framed, no one would be able to help him anymore, so Xiao Chuyan agreed to let Shen Xingliang enter the court as an official.
After each returned to their respective mansions, Xiao Liyue stayed in her room for several days without going out, and Shuang'er couldn't help but be a little anxious when she saw it in her eyes.
"Princess, you don't need to be so anxious. In this entire palace, Gong E doesn't know how many, and I don't know how many go in and out every year. You can't find anyone right now, maybe they've left the palace. Shuang'er tentatively tried to untie Xiao Liyue's heart knot.
Xiao Liyue was still lying lazily on the bed and did not respond.
Actually, she wasn't thinking about it, but like Xiao Chufang, she always felt that something was wrong with this matter.
After all, Xiao Chumad three years ago has not yet revealed his ambitions.
In that case, the other party would use Xiao Chu's crazy face to go outside and do nonsense, no matter how you think about it, it is strange.
At the same time, the sound of opening the door came, and a sharp voice sounded: "Fifth princess, the queen mother invites you to go to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms in the afternoon today." ”
An abrupt voice came out, and Shuang'er's face instantly turned red.
Xiao Liyue couldn't help but glance in her direction suspiciously: "What's wrong?" It can't be Huaichun, right? I said Shuang'er, if you fall in love with someone, you will naturally tell me, but I will never agree to the eunuchs in this palace. ”
Listening to Xiao Liyue's teasing words, Shuang'er's cheeks became more and more red, and she snorted softly in the direction of Xiao Liyue: "Princess, where have you gotten here." I saw that you were in a bad mood just now, so I forgot about my father-in-law at the door. Now he suddenly spoke, obviously dissatisfied with me. ”
Knowing that Shuang'er was not what she thought, Xiao Liyue's heart was slightly suspended at that moment, so she let it go.
Hurriedly raised his voice and said outside: "Princess Ben knows, retreat." ”
The father-in-law outside the door had obviously never seen such a situation, and he was stunned for a while, but the attendants next to him reminded him, and then he turned around and left angrily.
Although Xiao Liyue doesn't want to go anywhere at all, since it is the queen's invitation, she can't help but give the other party.
No matter what, in Shen Xingliang's matter, Queen Lin still didn't make trouble for herself, and she naturally had to sell the other party's favor.
Let Shuang'er help choose the clothes that are suitable for today, and then calculate the time to leave early.
When she arrived at the meeting place, she saw Wang Shuyi walking towards this side from a distance.
At this time, she was wearing a dark red long-striped dress, looking dignified and graceful, luxurious and magnificent. The dress of the Oiran I saw in Yichun Pavilion a few days ago is simply like two people.
"It seems that this makeup is really a science, just a few simple strokes, can depict a person's temperament completely different." Xiao Liyue looked at her and couldn't help but talk to herself.
Shuang'er on the side obviously didn't understand, and couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Princess, what did you just say?" ”
Xiao Liyue didn't respond, and walked slowly in the direction of Wang Shuyi, with a hint of a smile on her mouth: "Mrs. Yushi is really dressed up today, even if I am a woman, I will inevitably take a few more looks." To put it mildly, if you change your outfit, you might be an oiran that all men want to meet. ”
As soon as her words fell, the women who had arrived around her were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak for an instant, and Wang Shuyi's face instantly turned blue.
Only Mama Wu, who had arrived a long time ago, roared directly: "The fifth princess is unbearable, what is called an Oiran?" Mrs. Yushi is dignified and magnificent, how can she be compared with the Oiran of the flower shop? ”
On the surface, it seems that she is helping Wang Shuyi to accuse herself, but during the period, she mentioned the word Oiran several times, and it was clear that she was not pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Liyue didn't care anymore, she rarely looked in the direction of Mama Wu, and covered her mouth with her hand: "Mama's lesson is that looking at my mouth, what is bad to say, how can I say that it is like an oiran, it is all my fault." ”
