Chapter 46 Understanding Medicinal Materials
"Knowing that you have a quiet temperament and don't want to deal with others, you will take care of the medicine garden for me in the future and identify herbs."
He Lian is introverted, and she is afraid of getting too close to others, and she is regarded by others as a withdrawn eccentric. She relied more on the quiet and undisturbed environment in the medicine garden. originally thought that she would have to face contact with a bunch of people when she got out of Xinzhiku, but she didn't expect Xie Shiyun to arrange the best job for her.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Xiaolan and Rong Yue were good sisters when they were in Xin Zheku, and they were famous for asking questions. Although he is in the Xin Zheku, he knows a lot of gossip, and he is the most clever in a group of people.
They were selected by Mama Wu and thought they would be helpful to Xie Shiyun. However, because they are too cunning and clever, Xie Shiyun is a little uneasy about them.
After He Lian and Bai Zhi left the dormitory, Xie Shiyun took out two bottles and asked Sixi to hand them to them.
"One bottle is poison and the other is tonic, you choose."
Xiaolan and Rong Yue looked at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, why did they treat them differently? The two bottles in Sixi's hand have the same appearance, and there is no abnormality at all, and no one can tell the difference.
"What are you waiting for?" Xie Shiyun sat on the chair and watched what choice Rong Yue and Xiaolan would make.
"Rong Yue, I ate both bottles, you can live for me."
Xiaolan smiled at Rong Yue, not at all afraid of the poison in front of her. In the past few months since entering the palace, Rong Yue has been like her own sister, and she has never met someone as like-minded as her.
"What do you say, if you want to eat, I will eat, you are a year younger than me, and you have relatives at home, unlike me, I am alone, and I have no place to go back when I go out."
Rong Yue took the bottle from Sixi's hand while Xiaolan was not paying attention and poured it into her mouth.
"Rong Yue!"
Xiaolan's eyes widened in horror and snatched the bottle in her hand, but it was too late, and both bottles of medicine had already slipped into Rong Yue's throat.
Xiaolan slapped Rong Yue's back fiercely, trying to make her spit out the medicine, but Rong Yue just smiled and waved her hand.
"I can't spit it out."
Xiaolan's tears welled up in her eyes, if her freedom had to be exchanged for her sister's life, then she would rather die together.
"Feiyu, stop her."
Xie Shiyun stretched out her hand, and Feiyu dodged and knocked out the hairpin that Xiaolan was about to commit suicide.
"I'm very satisfied with your performance, the bottle is just ordinary cough drop, and I am more moved by Jin Jian."
Xie Shiyun applauded as she stepped down from the stage and stood still in front of Xiaolan and Rong Yue.
"It's just a small test for me, and the result is - pass."
"There are people around me who need you the most, and it is because of your performance that I can entrust you with important responsibilities."
Fei Yu and the others all had smiles on their faces, so that Xiaolan and Rong Yue didn't react for a while. They glanced at each other and bowed in front of Xie Shiyun, "Your Highness Xie is not killed." ”
Xie Shiyun shook her head helplessly, she almost separated them from yin and yang, what is there to thank for. However, as compensation, she gave one of them a waist card, which is the representative of the third-class palace maid, and the rights and monthly income are much higher than the low-level palace maids.
Xiaolan and Rong Yue still had tears on their faces, and after receiving the delicate waist card, they saluted Xie Shiyun again, "Thank Your Highness for reward, we will take Your Highness as the leader and never rebel." ”
"Let's go down."
"Yes."
There are only a few people left in the dormitory, including Fei Yu, Sixi, Seventeen, Wu Mama and Xie Shiyun, and Ah Fu was sent by Xie Shiyun to teach the new palace maid.
"Mama Wu, you can tell me about those things today."
Xie Shiyun must understand those past events today, the disputes of the previous dynasty, and the death of her mother. What Mama Wu is involved in must be a conspiracy that is not simple.
Mama Wu knew that Xie Shiyun would definitely ask, so she didn't hide it, and told Xie Shiyun everything she knew. At the beginning, Emperor An and Emperor Weifu went out on patrol, but brought back a woman, that is, Xie Shiyun's biological mother, Concubine Ming. It was rare for her to see Emperor An and Emperor take the initiative to bring the woman back, not to mention that there were people in the dark waiting for an opportunity to move.
But when she saw Concubine Ming, she understood everything. Concubine Ming looks five points similar to the young queen Li Yuan. Thinking of this, Mama Wu couldn't help but sigh heavily, men always go to find a puppet like this, and forget the person in front of them.
She was sent to Concubine Ming's side to take care of and protect her, because Concubine Ming became pregnant soon after entering the palace. She had to beware of the people of the other palaces making moves against Concubine Ming and the imperial heir in her belly.
"You mean, my mother didn't enter the palace by draft?"
"Yes, Concubine Ming returned with the emperor at that time, and then immediately sealed the nobles, which made many people in the palace secretly red."
Mama Wu has never seen such a melancholy woman, like a lotus on the surface of a lake in the rain, but it is a pity that her honor in this palace is as fleeting as an epiphany.
Concubine Ming often sat under the wisteria in the courtyard, silently caressing her bulging belly, looking at the poetry book with a gentle smile on her face.
"Mama Wu, do you think it will be a boy or a girl?"
"Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's definitely the dragon and the phoenix among people."
"I wish I could see my children grow up, start a family, and have a good life."
Concubine Ming's words puzzled Mama Wu, she was obviously very cautious and guarded Concubine Ming closely.
"Noble, you are about to be born to have such a mood, don't scare yourself."
Later, Xie Shiyun was born safely, also because she was a girl, and the emperor's attention to Concubine Ming slowly disappeared. The substitute he brought back to the palace was lost in the deep palace where the flowers bloomed and fell.
Since Xie Shiyun was born, Concubine Ming's body has been getting worse day by day, and the doctor has not been able to say why. Mama Wu really put her heart into this master, and she couldn't save this short-lived woman by using many methods.
"Mama Wu, thank you for taking care of her for so many years, in the future, Xiao Ruo'er will have to bother you to take care of her when she grows up."
"Noble, don't worry, with the old slave here, Her Royal Highness the princess will definitely grow up safely."
When Concubine Ming went, Mama Wu stayed by her bedside. Concubine Ming did not have the slightest fear of death, but a sense of relief. She was too weak to look good, but she was still so beautiful. Mama Wu felt that she should not have appeared in the palace like this.
"I can finally get out of this cage." Concubine Ming closed her sad eyes with a smile and said no more.
The beautiful finch spent her supposed splendid life in the Shen En Pavilion, which no one cared about, and flew into the arms of freedom in another way.
"Mama, where is my mother?"
