In and out of the palace, everything has to rely on connections, multiple friends and multiple roads. Meng Xilan was looking forward to Concubine Ning's appearance, so that the people of the Weiyuan Hou family would be willing to agree to this family business. Next, what she has to do is to find a suitable opportunity to take her cousin Meng Xiqiao to show her face in front of people, and the rest depends on the attitude of the Weiyuan Hou family.

Life in the temple is simple and leisurely, and after returning to the room, all she can do is to accompany Zhou Youning to talk, or copy scriptures and write. Zhou Youning got up late today, so she decided to practice calligraphy first. Zhulu and Zhuqing grind and lay paper one by one, and Gao Welfare is waiting outside, looking up in the sun and stealing lazy.

Who knows, after a while, a few dark clouds drifted in and a light rain fell, the drizzle was moist, and the people's hearts were cool and comfortable.

After checking the pulse of the Queen Mother, Jiao Changqing was still thinking about the strange fragrance he had just smelled, and turned around to find Meng Xilan again.

When Meng Xilan saw him coming, she hurriedly asked Zhulu to clean up and prepare tea and snacks.

Jiao Changqing didn't hold an umbrella, a lot of rain fell on his body, Zhulu blushed slightly, took out his handkerchief and handed it to him, "My lord, please use it." ”

Jiao Changqing's eyebrows moved slightly, and he hesitated a little before he reached out to take it and thanked him again.

Zhulu hurriedly said that it didn't matter, and went out to prepare refreshments with a red face.

Jiao Changqing took the handkerchief, but it was useless, and after sitting down, only his sleeve wiped his face.

Gao Fuli saw it really, and he was slightly concerned in his heart, and he was a little unhappy.

Meng Xilan thought that he was here to ask for peace for herself, so she sat quietly, gently rolled up her sleeves, and exposed a piece of her wrist.

Jiao Changqing originally just wanted to say a few words to her, but seeing her like this, a hint of funny smile faintly appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared in an instant, he took out the pulse pillow, only put the handkerchief that Zhulu gave him, covered her wrist, and then held his breath to check her pulse.

After a time of epidemic, Meng Xilan's body did suffer a loss, but fortunately, she recuperated well.

"The princess is fine, now the spring cold has passed, but the rain is still a little cool, the princess must remember not to be greedy." Jiao Changqing said carefully.

A happy smile appeared on Meng Xilan's face, and she nodded lightly: "Thank you, sir." It's still raining outside, so let's sit back and go. ”

Jiao Changqing still had something to say, so naturally he didn't want to leave, so he only nodded: "Princess Xie." ”

"How is the Queen Mother's body?"

"The Queen Mother's head disease has eased slightly, but because of her age, the condition often recurs, and it will take a long time to recover." Jiao Changqing replied lightly.

Meng Xilan listened very carefully, pondered for a moment, and felt that what he said was really leaky.

Once a person gets older, his physical condition will naturally deteriorate, and the new illness will not be cured, and the old disease will add to the chaos, and it is impossible to recover as if he is fine. However, it is impossible to return to impossible, but the old people love to listen to good words, and it is always good to leave three points for words.

Zhulu quickly brought the tea, and when the tea was served, her eyes kept looking at Jiao Changqing, but she found that her handkerchief was on the table, clean and clean, and she didn't use it at first glance.

Zhulu felt a sense of loss in her heart for no reason.

Jiao Changqing picked up the teacup and opened it gently, and immediately a warm fragrance of tea came to his nose.

"The princess is indeed a tea lover. Every time you treat me to tea, it's the best. ”

Meng Xilan took a sip lightly, lowered her eyes slightly and said: "Tea is good tea, water is good water, and the key is that people who drink tea are also good people." ”

Jiao Changqing was stunned at first when he heard this, and then a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied: "Thank you, princess, for your compliment." ”

"Don't be so polite to me, sir. It stands to reason that I should call you "master" now. ”

There was an agreement between them, although it was not so serious, but it was also overnodded by both parties.

"Does the princess really have the heart to study medicine? It's a hard road. ”

Seeing him ask, the smile on Meng Xilan's face lightened a little, and her tone became serious: "Of course I'm serious." Adults don't want to regret it, do they? ”

Jiao Changqing shook his head: "Weichen never loses his trust in others, let alone the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Meng Xilan smiled with satisfaction when she heard this, "With this word from an adult, I am relieved." ”

After drinking the tea, Jiao Changqing finally asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, have you changed any sachets and sachets recently?" ”

To be honest, he had seen Meng Xilan back and forth so many times, but he had never seen her carry something like a sachet or purse. There is always a fragrance on her body, like flowers, and like sandalwood, very light and light, but very attractive.

Meng Xilan didn't expect him to ask about this kind of girl's family, thought about it for a while, looked at Zhulu again, and then shook his head and said: "I don't usually have the habit of carrying sachets, I usually only like to use flower juice to comb up, it is a light taste." After saying that, she looked down at her body, and did not smell anything unusual.

Jiao Changqing had no distractions, and continued to ask: "What kind of musk-mixed things can the princess use?" ”

Musk! This sentence really shocked everyone in the room.

Meng Xilan's heart was hanging, and she didn't know how to react for a while.

Musk is a spice and a medicinal herb, and the price is expensive, but it cannot be used indiscriminately in the palace.

Zhulu was also puzzled: "Why did the adults ask about this?" My master doesn't like to smell the smell of rouge powder, usually he can avoid it, and occasionally sometimes he has done Buddhist things for a long time, and his body will be stained with some sandalwood fragrance. Musk...... That's the kind of thing my master never used. ”

When Gao Fuli heard this, he suddenly cheered up and stared at Jiao Changqing tightly, for fear that he had some bad water hidden in his stomach.

"Your Excellency...... This is good, how did you mention musk? Is it ......" Meng Xilan asked halfway, and suddenly remembered something, and was silent for two seconds.

Jiao Changqing saw the change in her expression, and knew what she was reacting.

"You guys go out first, I have something to say to the adults." If it was their own business, Meng Xilan would not let them avoid it, but right now what they want to say is someone else's business, and the less people know, the better.

"It seems that His Highness must have thought of something?" Jiao Changqing knew that she was very smart and paid attention to some small details, so she must have thought of something.

Meng Xilan said bluntly: "There is a Li Jieyu in the palace, presumably the adults must know." I wasn't familiar with her, but occasionally I noticed a strange smell on her body, a strange scent, but a little familiar. ”

When Jiao Changqing heard this, he nodded to her hurriedly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The princess is really smart." ”

He was a person who didn't like to laugh, but now he laughed three times because of her.

"That'...... How do adults know? ”

"When I met the princess, Wechen smelled a faint fragrance when he passed by, although it was covered by fat powder, but Wechen was sure that it was musk." Jiao Changqing has studied medicine for many years and is very sensitive to smells and tastes.

Sure enough, there was a problem...... Meng Xilan had always felt that the fragrance was a little special, but she didn't know that it was musk.

How can a pregnant woman have musk on her body? It's too dangerous, isn't it?

Meng Xilan frowned slightly and said, "Li Jieyu has been pregnant for five months, why does she have musk on her body?" ”

Jiao Changqing's expression was calm: "Musk is not difficult to find. Although it cannot be used indiscriminately in the palace, if someone wants it, it can be bought for a few dozen taels of silver. ”

Jiao Changqing didn't want to delve into the reasons behind the matter, he just needed to confirm that this matter had nothing to do with Meng Xilan.

"My lord, if I'm not mistaken, musk is a powerful medicine that can make tires slip. This kind of thing, the ...... that cannot be left in the palace" Meng Xilan's tone became a little anxious, after all, human life is at stake.

"Your Highness, motherhood, nothing cares more about the well-being of your children. Li Jieyu has been pregnant for five months, and the imperial doctor next to her has to ask for a safe pulse for her every day. Jiao Changqing said his opinion euphemistically.

It is impossible for the imperial doctors in the palace not to detect such a thing as musk.

Yes, the imperial doctors serve Li Jieyu every day, how could they not know that she has musk on her body, and why would they not say it if they knew?

Meng Xilan was shocked, only to feel that something was indeed not quite right in this matter.

Jiao Changqing continued: "There must be a reason for everything, Weichen suggested that His Royal Highness should not get too close to Jieyu Niangniang, and avoid it if he can, so as not to be accidentally used by some people." ”

"If someone really wants to harm Li Jieyu, then she doesn't know about it, isn't it very pitiful?" Meng Xilan intuitively felt that Li Jieyu may not know, and must have been victimized. In order to compete for favor, what kind of things can't be done, what kind of tricks can't be done, even if it's a human life......

Meng Xilan's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and a chill appeared on her back.

Who is trying to harm her? Is it the queen, or Concubine Ning?

The reason why Jiao Changqing reminded her was so that she could protect herself wisely and not get involved in the battle in the palace and accidentally hurt herself.

"What if...... What does Li Jieyu know about this matter? What should Your Highness do? ”

His words made Meng Xilan slightly stunned, "My lord...... How is that possible? If she knew, how could she still wear it on her body? Didn't she know how powerful this musk was! ”

This kind of logic is really unreasonable.

Jiao Changqing obviously had a different idea: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and anything can happen in this world. What is the truth behind it, now, it is not His Royal Highness and Wei Chen's turn to worry about it, after all, we can't control this matter, and we can't manage it. In this way, Wei Chen will tell His Highness one thing.

He usually doesn't talk much, but he can also tell stories eloquently, which really surprised Meng Xilan.

"When he was young, Weichen had not yet arrived in the palace on an errand, and once saved a lame old man, who accidentally fell from a mountain and injured his leg. His leg could have been cured, but he didn't let people touch him, not even his son and daughter-in-law, and then Weichen Haosheng persuaded him not to be stubborn, but the old man said that he originally had three sons in the family, but because of the separation, the family was not in harmony, and they did not interact with each other. The old man is about to celebrate his 60th birthday, and I hope that on the day of his birthday, the children can come back. Later, Weichen heard that the old man's family knew that he had broken his leg, and they all came back, and the family was neatly together. ”

"Your Highness, it is inevitable that people will suffer from illness in this life, whether it is providence or man-made, but there must be a cause behind this, and there will be a reason. As a doctor, he can only cure the sick and save people, but he cannot solve the confusion of people's hearts. ”
