When he came out of the prison of the Criminal Department, Chu Ansheng's face was very ugly, he took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and endured the nausea that rolled up in his abdomen.

After returning to the palace, he immediately bathed and changed his clothes, but no matter how he washed it, he still felt that he had the smell of blood on his body. He kept scrubbing his hands, harder and harder, as if he were angry with himself.

Having come to this point, he asked himself countless times, did he regret it? Have you ever regretted becoming Meng Xilan's slave like this? Do you regret that you have become a eunuch who is neither male nor female...... However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he still had no answer.

Chu Ansheng sighed, stood up from the barrel, dressed neatly, and returned to the Queen Mother to serve.

Meng Xilan glanced at him with special attention, and his complexion looked very bad.

"Look at yourself." Meng Xilan said softly: "You better go down and rest." ”

She knew where he had just come back, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and she knew very well what a terrible place it was.

"Thank you Niangniang, the slave is fine." Chu Ansheng replied lightly. "It's just bloody."

Meng Xilan raised her hand, gently pressed her temples, and continued: "This palace has no intention of making it difficult for you, if you don't want to, you can also give up." ”

Hearing this, Chu Ansheng glanced up at her. "Niangniang, what does Grandpa Gao want the slave to do?"

He said he was going to train him, but it seemed to him that he was only trying to torture him.

Meng Xilan's fingertips were harder: "This palace needs to place eyeliner outside the palace." These people usually look like ordinary people, no different. They are responsible for monitoring the news and checking whether those prominent dignitaries are secretly colluding behind their backs and intent on rebellion. In short, Hongu needs someone outside the palace to do the eyes and ears of Hongu. ”

Chu Ansheng listened quietly, only to feel that the Queen Mother was playing a big game of chess.

She will do whatever it takes to defend this country for the emperor, which is indeed a good intention.

"Niangniang, what Father-in-law Gao did didn't seem to be as simple as collecting intelligence."

He could see clearly that Gao Fuli's methods were extremely cruel when interrogating and extorting confessions, and anyone who fell into his hands would end up worse than dead.

Gao Fu used his means to help Bengong a lot. Maybe this palace has never taught him to be merciful, as long as he can share his worries for this palace and do things for the emperor, what the means are, is not the most important thing. ”

Countless life and death struggles have allowed Jiao Changqing to practice the skills and means of this body. Even if it is cruel, it is very useful.

Chu Ansheng slowly lowered his head when he heard this.

"You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. What the palace wants is to let the emperor sit firmly on the throne, watch the ups and downs outside the palace, know in his heart, and not be chaotic. ”

"Now you are also a close confidant of this palace. This palace needs you to ......" Meng Xilan's eyes looked at Chu Ansheng deeply, "The battle in the palace, once it continues outside the palace, it will become even more filthy and unreasonable. Those things that can't be accommodated in your eyes are exactly what we will face every day in the future! ”

It's never easy to survive here.

……

Recently, these days, Xie Zhenzhen has asked Jiao Changqing to come over to diagnose her pulse twice in three days.

Now that she is the queen's mother, she can arouse Jiao Changqing, and she can do whatever she wants.

As the head of the Tai Hospital, Jiao Changqing did not have the slightest arrogance in his heart. But he hates it the most, others waste his time.

Xie Zhenzhen's body is fine, it seems that he did it on purpose, just to toss him.

Jiao Changqing was patient, came for three days, and when he saw the queen again, he finally spoke: "Niangniang, don't sell it to me anymore." You asked Weichen to come over again and again, but his body was fine. Wei Chen thought about it carefully, there were only two purposes for Niangniang to do this. The first is to humiliate Weichen, and the second is because Niangniang has something to ask for, but she can't say it. ”

Xie Zhenzhen's calm eyebrows and eyes moved slightly in an instant.

Her eyes flickered, as if surprised.

"Imperial Doctor Jiao, it's really sharp. The main palace is indeed asking for something...... It's just that you shouldn't say anything for a while. ”

Jiao Changqing said coldly: "Niangniang has something to order, and Weichen will definitely do his best." ”

Xie Zhenzhen lowered her head and smiled: "Actually, this palace just wants to ask the adults for a prescription." ”

"Niangniang is not sick, why do you need a prescription?"

Xie Zhenzhen's tone was slightly hesitant: "This palace wants to give birth to a prince for the emperor as soon as possible." And Jiao Changqing's medical skills are exactly what this palace needs most at the moment. ”

To put it bluntly, she wanted him to help her adjust her body.

Jiao Changqing's face changed slightly when he heard this: "Niangniang, the matter of the emperor's heir is related to the country's foundation." This is a blessing from God, just look at the will of God! ”

Xie Zhenzhen saw that he seemed to have a sense of shirking, so he said, "Don't be too modest with Imperial Doctor Jiao. With your medical skills, you will definitely be able to help this palace. Moreover, the Queen Mother will definitely agree. ”

Prince, how can the Queen Mother not like it?

Jiao Changqing's face changed slightly, and he groaned for a while before he said, "Since this is the case, Weichen will prescribe a prescription for Niangniang." ”

Xie Zhenzhen nodded with a smile: "There is Master Lao." ”

A few warm Chinese medicines, paired with bird's nest, seem to be the most common recipe.

Xie Zhenzhen wanted to reward him with silver, but he didn't want it, he just said that it was his duty.

The queen is bent on giving birth to a prince, and Meng Xilan has always known this matter.

She had no intention of stopping her, and only asked Jiao Changqing: "With the queen's body, can you give birth to a healthy prince safely?" ”

"The queen's mother is still young, has a gentle physique, and has no problem giving birth to children." Jiao Changqing answered truthfully.

Meng Xilan pondered: "Recently, the emperor is not very willing to be close to her, what's the use of her being in a hurry alone?" ”

Jiao Changqing was silent when he heard this.

What the relationship between the emperor and the queen was, he never cared.

"Weichen's recipe is the most suitable for regulating qi and blood."

"So much for the best. The medicinal herbs are too strong, and her body can't stand it. ”

Even if Xie Zhenzhen is eager to ask for a son, she has to do what she can.

"Niangniang, Weichen knows that the other three side concubines also asked the people from the Tai Hospital for the prescription of conditioning their bodies."

Meng Xilan sighed softly: "All of them are in a hurry, but the emperor himself is not in a hurry." ”

Jiao Changqing said: "Before the queen mother is pregnant, the other little masters, do Weichen need to use medicine for them?" ”

Meng Xilan shook her head: "No." Let it be. ”

The prince is important, but the children of the concubine are also the blood of the royal family. As long as it is the emperor's child, it is a child worthy of her love.

…

It was dark, the moon was like day, Zhou Tianyou changed into civilian clothes and prepared to go out of the house for a walk.

Zhao Hai and the casual little guy were all waiting outside the door, ready at any time.

When Bai Juan came over, she saw so many people coming outside, so she said, "Where are you going?" ”

Zhao Hai said truthfully: "The prince wants to go out of the house for a walk." ”

It is said that this is the habit of the prince.

He doesn't like to go out during the day, and at night the streets are cold and quiet, so he likes to go out for a walk.

Bai Juan looked at the sky, only to feel that it was a little too late.

Suddenly, Zhou Tianyou walked out of the study, still with a thin veil on his face.

"Lord Wang, the carriage is ready."

"I don't need a carriage, I'm going to walk on foot."

Zhou Tianyou held his hands behind his back, dressed as an ordinary person, but the momentum of walking was the wind under his feet.

Bai Juan stood aside and sent the prince away.

Zhao Hai followed step by step, but was waved by Zhou Tianyou: "You don't have to follow." ”

Zhao Hai hurriedly stopped and stood in place.

Bai Juan stepped forward slowly, and then asked, "Steward Zhao, it's so late, isn't the prince afraid of danger?" ”

"Don't worry about the mother, the palace has sent people out early in the morning, but wherever the prince passes, it will be fine."

It was a group of hidden people, who were usually nowhere to be seen, and who would definitely show up if needed.

Zhao Hai looked at Bai Juan standing in a daze under the porch, and said, "Girl, hurry up and boil the medicine." The prince will be back in just half an hour. ”

Bai Juan nodded and went to the kitchen to boil medicine.

In the entire palace, except for the mother who is responsible for washing and washing, she is the only woman.

Half an hour later, Zhou Tianyou really came back.

However, he didn't know where he drank the wine, but it was all the smell of alcohol.

Bai Juan hurriedly replaced the boiled decoction with decanting tea.

"Lord Wang, please use it."

Zhou Tianyou sat back in his chair and removed his veil with one hand, revealing his flushed cheeks.

"Lord, where did you drink wine?" Zhao Haihai asked.

"It's just a small stall."

Zhou Tianyou drank half a cup of tea, then got up and walked to the bed in the middle of the study.

Zhao Hai was about to step forward to serve, but when he saw Bai Juan's feet also move, his mind immediately sounded in his head, and Gao Gonggong's instructions to him.

"The white girl is the person that the Queen Mother fancies. She was by the prince's side just to serve him. So, don't rush ahead of everything, you have to have a little vision. ”

Niangniang put the white girl next to the prince, what it means, everyone knows.

Zhao Hai retracted his gaze, and then said to Bai Juan: "Girl, you go over and serve." ”

Bai Juan was stunned when she heard this, and slowly lowered her head and stepped forward.

In the past, when my father was out drinking, when he was drunk, she also took care of him.

Bai Juan stretched out her hand to change his clothes, but was stopped by Zhou Tianyou's frowning and unhappy expression.

"Lord Wang, the slave maid is waiting for you to freshen up and change your clothes."

Zhou Tianyou looked at her with burning eyes: "Why did you enter the palace?" ”

He suddenly asked, which made Bai Juan's heart startled.

"What does the prince mean ......"

Zhou Tianyou half-tilted his body, pointed to his chest, and then pointed at her.

"Why do you want to enter the palace? Why do you want to be a slave of this king? ”

His sharp question slightly stung Bai Juan's sensitive heart.

"Slave maid...... I entered the palace to be a medical woman. ”

She explained her distress in one sentence.

Her father expected too much from her, and she thought things too simply.

When Zhou Tianyou heard this, he seemed to smile: "Listen to what you mean, you were deceived." ”

Bai Juan knelt down when she heard this: "The slave doesn't dare!" ”

Zhou Tianyou held the tea bowl and looked at her leisurely: "Since you know it's a scam, why do you want to show up in front of this king?" ”

Since she has no intention of greedy for power, she should not use it for this.

No matter how tough the queen mother is, she will not force a person to do what he does not want to do.

Bai Juan's ears buzzed, and she calmed down for a moment before saying, "The slave maid is not forced to come, but comes here voluntarily. ”

"The slave maid has followed her father to learn medical skills since she was a child, and now, as a medical girl, the slave maid has the qualification to share the worries of the mother and the prince, which is the blessing of the slave and the maid!"

Zhou Tianyou smiled again when he heard this. "That's a nice thing to say."

After the words fell, the smile on his face faded away, replaced by a touch of melancholy.

"You should have had your own stable life, but instead, you chose this path. Cupidity...... If you are too greedy, you will definitely be punished. ”

Bai Juan blinked, her heart full of puzzlement.

Why did he say this to himself?

When she was stunned, Zhou Tianyou suddenly unbuttoned his shirt, looked at her and said, "Now, this king will give you another chance." Do you want to stay tonight? ”

"......" Bai Juan was surprised, stared at him, and retreated again and again.

"What do you mean, Lord Wang?"

After Zhou Tianyou took off his coat, he untied the long coat on his body, and his eyes were very sharp: "If you stay, the one-month period will be automatically invalidated!" From now on, you will always stay with this king, and maybe I will give you an official title! And if you don't want to stay, then don't do anything, don't show up in front of my eyes again, go back to your house, live honestly for a month, and leave! ”
