Chapter 120: The Queen's Heart
This sound attracted everyone's attention, and Mu Lan's voice also sounded: "Madame, do you want water?" Slaves and maids are going to fall! ”
Xiao Yuexi opened her eyes with difficulty, and her eyes were also red, and it took a while to return to normal. During this period, Mu Yunqing had already sat at the head of the bed and helped her up and leaned on herself, and Mu Lan brought a bowl of hot water over and fed her spoonful by spoonful.
I don't know if it's because of the illness and bitterness, the water at the entrance is full of weird bitter taste, and after two mouthfuls, Xiao Yuexi turned her head unbearably and asked, "My God!" What is this? ”
Although her voice was hoarse and weak, she still couldn't hide her disgust.
Hearing this, Mu Lan said in surprise: "This is honeysuckle water!" I thought Madame knew......"
Xiao Yuexi was stunned.
If she did recognize the smell and taste of honeysuckle in normal times, but now she has a high fever, her consciousness is also a little drowsy, and her nose is blocked so that it is difficult to breathe, and the only little taste left can not convey more information to her except for distinguishing the bitter taste, so that she can't distinguish such a common herb.
She remembered that when the heat was unbearable, Ji Bingxin would also boil some honeysuckle water to quench the fire, but she didn't dare to drink more when her spleen and stomach were cold.
She still remembers that she had never been sick before, and since entering the palace, she is afraid that she will have to make up for all the illnesses she has never had in her life.
"I'm really a ...... with the palace"
When he said this, Xiao Yuexi didn't have a mind at all, and he didn't even know what he said after speaking. However, the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Mu Yunqing's breathing stagnated, and his face became extremely lonely and melancholy.
Inadvertently, Mrs. Xiao shifted the emperor's attention to other things, and finally couldn't care about interrogating Li Ran for the time being.
Anyway, the medicine is over, the pulse has been diagnosed, and he has a number in his heart, so when will he not slip at this time?
Li Ran slipped away quickly, leaving Mu Lan alone, just had a plan to stay and take care of his wife, and suddenly looked up and caught a glimpse of the emperor's action of leveling Xiao Yuexi extremely gently, and the movement of wiping her forehead and cheeks with a handkerchief was extremely gentle, and instantly felt that his pestle was very redundant in the house, and after thinking about it, he also quietly left.
The hall finally fell silent, Mu Yun was silent for a while, and suddenly got up. Seeing this, Xiao Yuexi hurriedly grabbed His Majesty the Emperor's sleeve and muttered in a dumb voice: "Don't you go......"
Mu Yunqing was helpless: "Aren't you hungry?" I'll go and get someone to get you something to eat. ”
She didn't pull hard, and she couldn't use force, but Mu Yunqing still couldn't bear to pull her sleeve back, for fear of hurting her, so she had to sit down again so that she could continue to drag. I didn't know that she dragged it for a while, but it was still not enjoyable, and she shook it.
Xiao Yuexi said: "I'm not hungry, I don't eat, I don't care!" You can't go anyway...... I haven't had so many diseases since I was a child, you have to pay! ”
Mu Yun was stunned, but Xiao Yuexi was shocked.
If this kind of thing was put in the past, she would not have been able to do it, as soon as such words and deeds came out, Xiao Yuexi muttered in her heart: Am I stupid with a high fever?
She subconsciously let go, but Mu Yunqing took her hand and asked softly, "What was it like when you were sick before?" ”
Xiao Yuexi was stunned by his question, and thought about it very seriously before replying: "I remember that there are many bruises and injuries, and there are few illnesses, I can't remember, the time when I was caught up by you in the palace when I was a child is very rare." ”
She suddenly laughed as if she remembered something, which provoked Mu Yun's inquiring glance, and she consciously explained: "When I was in the house, every time I was slightly injured, my sister-in-law had to be remembered for a long time, and she had to press me to the bed and lie down while disgusting me. I remember one time when I injured my leg, she wished I was paralyzed and lay in bed and couldn't go anywhere, but she still guarded me for three days......"
Speaking of which, Xiao Yuexi couldn't go on anymore and couldn't laugh. Because she remembered that after recuperating from her injuries for a few days, she couldn't hold back and went out in the middle of the night to find a drink, but she ran into Ji Bingxin hiding in the house and wiping her tears, because she was really worried that her leg would be wasted.
"Why don't you continue?" Mu Yun said lightly. "And after that?"
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it was from that time that she really respected this sister-in-law. Xiao Yuexi replied perfunctorily: "Then...... And then I was honest. ”
Mu Yunqing: "Honest? ”
Xiao Yuexi raised her eyes, and met him with an unbelievable expression, and suddenly felt displeased: "What kind of expression do you have?" ”
Mu Yun hurriedly put on a harmless smile: "No! Madame, you must have read it wrong. After a pause, he said again: "I'm about to go out of the palace to see the Fourth Emperor Brother in the Xianwang Mansion, how about accompanying me when you are better?" While it's not so cold outside, it's time to go out of the palace and take a walk. ”
It is naturally good to be able to get out of the palace, Xiao Yuexi nodded without thinking about it, but she didn't notice that Mu Yunqing's expression was complicated for a moment.
To put it mildly, I finally coaxed Xiao Yuexi to eat something, and then took the medicine, and the night was already very deep.
Xiao Yuexi felt that she was indeed too noisy tonight, and she had enough joy, and she should accept it when she saw it, so she said, "I'm sleepy." ”
Mu Yun said softly: "Then go to sleep, you should also rest." ”
"Well......" Xiao Yuexi nodded, in his heart he actually hoped that Mu Yun would rest quickly, he was different from himself, he was very busy, and he had been tossing by himself for so long, he didn't say it, Xiao Yuexi himself felt that he couldn't go.
Xiao Yuexi's high fever came and went quickly, and the next morning, he dragged the Sixth Palace down to greet the Queen Mother, had breakfast, and then followed Lu Jinxiu, who came to ask for peace, to sit in Jiaofang Hall for a while. After a trip, although it was a little awkward to be with these people, Xiao Yuexi's complexion was much better.
Lu Jinxiu sat in the main seat, looking at the empty Jiaofang Palace, there were so many empty seats in the two rows, only Xiao Yuexi occupied one, and it was not presentable.
She pretended to sigh and said: "Sister Xiao, you see, the deep palace is lonely, even the most noble and luxurious Jiaofang Hall in this palace is just as deserted. ”
Xiao Yuexi smiled lightly, and didn't intend to answer her words, but said apologetically: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the concubine is unwell, so she won't bother here." ”
Lu Jinxiu waved his hand and said, "That's it, you go back to the palace." ”
Xiao Yuexi got up to salute and was about to withdraw.
Lu Jinxiu suddenly said as if she remembered something: "That's right! Sister Xiao wait first, Bengong remembered something. ”
Looking at the steps that stopped to turn around and leave, Xiao Yuexi said with a little doubt: "Queen Mother, please speak." ”
Lu Jinxiu said: "It's not a big deal, when you entered the palace before, you divided the Zhaoyang Palace as a dormitory, but unfortunately you encountered an assassin's assassination, and most of the Zhaoyang Palace was destroyed, and it was officially repaired in the first few days, my sister wants to go and see?" If you are not satisfied, just tell your subordinates to change. ”
Ho! This is an attempt to remove her from the Cool Temple! Lu Jinxiu is smart, knowing that it is useless to find the emperor, so he simply starts with Xiao Yuexi. But she didn't want to think about it, it was the emperor who let Xiao Yuexi live in the Qingliang Palace in the first place, where was Xiao Yuexi able to move out with just a few words? What's more, she really doesn't want to move at all now.
His mind was full of thoughts, but there was no flaw on his face, and almost instantly, Xiao Yuexi thought about how to deal with it, and said quietly: "The concubine naturally wants to go, but she doesn't want to move around by herself...... Can you ask the queen to be a companion with her concubine? ”
Lu Jinxiu didn't seem to expect Xiao Yuexi to agree so happily, thinking about it, she felt that Xiao Yuexi didn't understand the meaning of her words, and scolded "idiot" in her heart, feeling that she needed to beat her further. Thinking of this, Lu Jinxiu said with an elegant smile on his face: "Naturally, why don't you go now?" ”
Xiao Yuexi: "Okay! ”
Zhaoyang Hall is not far from Qingliang Palace, but farther away from Jiaofang Palace, the two of them are pacing unhurried steps all the way, but Xiao Yuexi is a little unable to support it - she has only been sick for so many days, she has been weak and half dead, how did His Royal Highness Xianwang, who has been using medicine all year round to continue his life, travel all over the mountains and rivers and Heze? In addition to Tortoiseshell Heng over the years, I'm afraid he has been everywhere, right?
Admiring all the way, the two came to the door of the Zhaoyang Palace. The Zhaoyang Palace was originally only slightly inferior to the Jiaofang Palace, but now after the redecoration, it is even more luxurious, and it seems that the queen mother has really made a lot of money in order to let Mrs. Xiao get out of the Qingliang Palace.
The furnishings that were smashed before have been replaced with more new and exquisite ones, and the incense burner in the hall is burning with clear and elegant incense, and there are very few incense that can make Xiao Yuexi not disgusted, this is one of them, Xiao Yuexi himself was also a little surprised, and added in his heart: It seems that it is not as simple as making a bloody investment!
Lu Jinxiu looked at his masterpiece with great satisfaction, and introduced them in detail one by one, and at the end, seeing Xiao Yuexi's face without waves, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked tentatively: "What does my sister think?" ”
Xiao Yuexi looked at her with admiration and praised her sincerely: "The queen has a unique vision, and these ornaments are all unique in ten thousand!" ”
"Then ......" Lu Jinxiu paused for a moment before asking, "Then Sister Xiao still likes it?" ”
Xiao Yuexi's ability to pretend to be stupid is first-class, and the more she understands her intentions, the more she will not follow her words. Xiao Yuexi was stunned and asked, "Huh? Why did the queen ask her concubines if they liked it? ”
Lu Jinxiu's face turned pale and blue with anger, but she had to lead the topic more deeply: "Sister Xiao is about to live in the dormitory, so naturally I want to ask you about your preferences!" ”
"I ...... I'm going to move in? Xiao Yuexi's eyes widened in shock, and her face was innocent enough to be fake.
Is she really pretending to be garlic?! Lu Jinxiu almost lifted the table at hand, shook her teeth secretly, and calmed down, and when she looked at Xiao Yuexi again, her eyes became very cold.
