170: Heat

There are not many bamboos in Beijing, but there are a lot of them planted in the palace, such as in the Yingxue Pavilion, Yao Chuxi was woken up by the rustling sound of bamboo leaves in the morning.

"I heard that Mrs. Lu has entered the palace again." Han Shanggong said.

Yao Chuxi, who was having breakfast, paused after hearing this: "Haven't you given up yet?" ”

"She thinks that her daughter will not do such a thing, and it is no wonder that Concubine Qing is like this, just look at what her mother is like to know what her upbringing is."

Yao Chuxi smiled: "This is true. ”

"I heard that Concubine Qing was sick this time, and she came to ask the emperor to be kind and release Concubine Qing."

"Concubine Qing is sick?"

"Hmm." Han Shanggong looked into the distance, his eyes were deep and long, "The Hidden Pavilion is a terrible place, ten thousand times more terrible than the Cold Palace, those imprisoned there either died early, or stayed there for a long time, some of them had heart disease and could not be treated, and no one would take care of them, so they had to fend for themselves." ”

When she was young, she went to the Hidden Li Pavilion with the Queen Mother, at that time there was a concubine who harmed the Queen Mother, and the first emperor spoke to imprison her in the Hidden Li Pavilion, so the two went to visit.

The Hidden Pavilion looks pretty good from the outside, although the courtyard is not big but it looks spacious, but it is very dim inside, and the places where the light can shine are thick gray, and there are no delicate objects, even the Gong bucket is placed in the temple.

This kind of living environment is even worse than the cold palace.

There are many people who would rather die than go to the Hidden Pavilion, of course, the premise is that there is no reliance, like Concubine Qing, who now has hope to go out, I am afraid that she will not be able to die for a while.

As the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate, and the women who are imprisoned in the Hidden Pavilion have all made unforgivable mistakes, and it is no wonder that others are cruel.

"Do you know what illness Concubine Qing has?"

Han Shanggong replied, "I heard that I have been having nightmares a lot lately, and I always talk nonsense in my mouth, and I seem to have a high fever." ”

It's not too serious.

So what is the reason why Mrs. Lu is in such a hurry? Do you really care about the safety of your daughter? Or do you think that Zhao Yuan'er can borrow strength when she enters the palace, but Concubine Qing is sick again, and there is no better chance than at this time?

In order to save Concubine Qing out, Mrs. Lu really did everything.

"But the imperial doctor went, and the diagnosis was that it was a heart disease, and he prescribed two medicines, and he left without even returning the emperor, and he didn't want to care about the affairs of the Hidden Pavilion."

Yao Chuxi looked at Han Shanggong blankly, only feeling that she was very godly.

Obviously, a person who may not be able to leave the hospital for a day in Yingxue Pavilion, but he always knows some about the big and small things in the palace, and he can also say two sentences of his own judgment and understanding, which is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Don't you have her eyeliner outside? But I haven't seen anyone she has been in contact with often, except for Gonggong Ding.

Ding Zhou can inquire about a lot of things, and he can also inquire about crooked ways, but compared to Han Shanggong, he has a little less opportunity and insight into things.

Just like what Han Shanggong said today, it was not a trivial matter of Concubine Qing's illness, but it was mixed with the matter of Mrs. Lu's entry into the palace, and only two sentences of kung fu made Yao Chuxi figure out the key to it, and there was no need to say it too thoroughly, as for Zhao Jieyu, she didn't mention it at all.

This is the power of Han Sanggong.

It was only sunny for a morning, and in the afternoon it was cloudy, and soon it began to rain.

Yao Chuxi couldn't go out for a walk, so he sat on a low couch with half a plate of sweet peanuts and watched the rain.

The rain was not small, and puddles had formed in several places in the yard, and from time to time there would be ripples in circles.

The flowers in the flower bed have suffered, and some precious flowers have been carefully cared for by the tiger, but the rest of the flowers can only be left to the wind and rain.

Luo Xia was busy in the tea room, and was just about to go out with the tea tray, when Jiang Liuzheng opened the curtain and came in.

"I've got dinner back, I'm afraid of getting wet, so let's heat it here before sending it in." Jiang Liu said as he put the umbrella in his hand by the door.

"There's freshly made snacks here, you can take some and share them with them." Luoxia motioned for him to go in, "I'll take it in when dinner is hot." ”

Jiang Liu agreed, and watched Luoxia go out.

Although he can see it every day, he still seems to see the changes in Luoxia, as if he is taller and taller again, and the palace maid's clothes have become tighter and thinner recently, and the silk hairpin and green jade hairpin sent by Jiang Liu are also changed every day.

Her own master rewarded Luoxia with a lot of things, and she usually gave any hairpins and silver money, so she was not short of anything in this regard.

Jiang Liu didn't know how to be good to Luoxia, and he wanted to say a few words to her every day, but he couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart, and he didn't dare to, but Luoxia often talked to her.

"Sixth brother, Sister Luoxia said that you have a little heart to eat here, why haven't you taken it out yet?" Xiao Yongzi also opened the curtain and came in and asked.

Jiang Liu hurriedly collected his thoughts, agreed casually, and took two plates of dim sum on the board.

Rainy days are stuffy and hot, and cool breezes blow from time to time and are easy to get cold, so at this time, you need to hold back in your own house.

When the rain stopped, it was already dark, and the air was full of moisture, Jiang Liu led a few eunuchs to clean up the yard with lanterns, and then went back to the room to rest with confidence.

From the bottom of the corridor of the east hall, you can walk along a gravel path to the flower bed, and there are also a few bamboo trees planted in the courtyard, and the courtyard wall is about the same height as those bamboos, which is beautiful and safe.

The rain stopped urgently, and as soon as the wind blew through the rustling of bamboo leaves, a few pieces drifted down sporadically, Jiang Liu didn't need to do it himself at this time like when he was in Yunyan Pavilion, as long as he commanded it, there were several eunuchs rushing to do this.

Because of the rain, the yard has been washed with gravel and bricks, and you only need to carefully inspect a few puddles and pick up some falling leaves, and you're done.

Yao Chuxi, who hadn't been out of the house much for a day, took advantage of the gap before it was dark after dinner, so Luoshuang moved a chair out and sat down under the porch.

The fiery clouds in the distance were bustling at the same time, mostly reddish-orange, and changed into several shapes, like an unfolding picture.

Luoshuang stood behind Yao Chuxi, looking at the brightly colored fire clouds and his master, at this moment the master was lowering his head, and a black green silk was draped behind him, revealing a white and slender neck, feeling that this was a truly beautiful picture.

Because he didn't go out today, Yao Chuxi was dressed relatively casually, wearing a gauze coat over a green coat, and Luo Xue said that Yao Chuxi was like a fairy who fell to the mortal world in the Nine Heavens, which made everyone laugh.

The hair is not tied into any sideburns, but half draped and half lazy coiled behind the head, fixed by a begonia-style hairpin, which looks very gentle and lovely.

The next day, the guards in front of the Hidden Pavilion went to the Tai Hospital again.

Doctor Meng paced around the room with his hands behind his back, walking again and again, and he could see at a glance that he was very uneasy.

"Otherwise, let's ask the emperor, otherwise will it be cured or not?"

Doctor Nian squinted his eyes, touched his beard, and said, "I'll go to the Taihe Palace in person to tell the emperor in a while, you go to the Hidden Li Pavilion to have a look, and make a prescription first." ”

"I already made a prescription yesterday." Imperial Physician Xu came over and said, "I was thinking about coming out at the beginning, first reporting to you and the emperor before making a decision, who would have thought that the palace people of the Hidden Pavilion would hold me and not let go, and I had to make a prescription to feel at ease." ”

"They are also afraid that their master will die, so even places like the Hidden Li Pavilion will not accept them, and they have to go to places like the Court Bureau and the Huanyi Bureau to do drudgery." Doctor Nian's eyes seemed to have seen everything.

The road from the Tai Hospital to the Hidden Li Pavilion is very long, especially on this palace road, at this moment, it is like lifting the lid of the steamer, as if a drop of water will boil immediately, and the hot Imperial Doctor Meng wiped the sweat on his neck again.

He has always been picky and thin, but today this errand is on his head, and there is no way to hide.

The other doctors in the hospital were not on duty, only Doctor Xu and him were left, and Doctor Xu had just gone yesterday, and Doctor Nian was too old and inconvenient, so he had to go today anyway.

Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he reached out and pulled his collar, only to feel a circle of sweat at the neckline.

The sky was blue, there was not a trace of clouds, there was a blazing sun overhead, there was not a little wind, and the willows planted on both sides of the palace road seemed to be sick, and the leaves were hanging with dust and curling on the branches, and the branches did not move.

In such a scorching hot weather, Imperial Physician Meng dragged his heavy steps step by step towards the Hidden Pavilion, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

Passing by a lake in the middle, the bridge on the lake seems to be easy to be sunburned, and the lake is not like the fish that jump up and down in the past, because those fish are used to being cool all day long, so they are not heated, so they all hide under the bridge and swim at the root of the tree, which is a good place to avoid the sun's rays.

To say that the one who enjoys the sunshine is the slim lotus flower in the center of the lake, a large piece of it is blooming, and the lotus flowers are tightly nestled with the green round lotus leaves, bathed in the sun, it looks more elegant and beautiful.

Imperial Physician Meng quickened his pace and almost trotted to the Hidden Pavilion.

The young imperial doctor also hurried to the Taihe Palace, and the emperor sympathized with his old age and hard work, and temporarily put down the fold in his hand to see him.

"Nature is to be cured." After listening to the words of the young imperial doctor, the emperor said, "Since I did not decree her life, then you will try your best to heal, and the rest depends on her fate." ”

After kneeling and bowing, the young imperial physician came out of the Taihe Hall again, and met Pan Zhen'an, who was going up the steps, and he was still holding a cup in his hand.

"Father-in-law Pan." The two saluted each other, "This is for the emperor, right?" ”

Pan Zhenan replied, "This is the mung bean soup that has just been made, and now the average person can't stand the heat on this day, so this errand to reduce the heat must not be serious?" ”

It means that he has to serve with his heart to save the emperor from heat stroke.
