"Master, the medicine you made me boil is ready, and I brought it in."

After Chu Huai and Wen Mu chatted for a while, there was a knock on the door outside the dormitory, followed by a sound of the door opening, and the mandarin duck cautiously walked in from outside the house with a bowl of steaming soup.

Just as she handed the medicine to Chu Huai, she lowered her head and met Wen Mu's gaze.

The mandarin duck was slightly stunned and hurriedly staggered his gaze. I prayed in my heart that she would never recognize herself, but the things that worried her the most were often the most likely to happen-

"Sister? Is it you, sister? Wen Mu stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of the mandarin duck's clothes.

"You've mistaken someone." The mandarin duck didn't dare to break free, for fear that it would hurt her, so she could only gently pull her clothes, but Wen Mu grabbed it tighter and tighter. She had to turn her eyes for help to Chu Huai.

"Queen Mother, I think you have recognized the wrong person, this is my apprentice Mandarin Duck, not your so-called Mandarin Duck Girl."

But her eyes ...... And her voice, even her figure...... How could I have mistaken my sister? ”

"Queen Mother, it's rude." The mandarin duck pulled her clothes with one hand, covered Wen Mu's hand with the other, and pulled her hand away from herself, "I'm not the person you said, but this time I entered the palace with the master, and there were indeed many people who said that I was like another person." ”

"That'...... Can you show me your face under the mask? ”

"Nope." The mandarin duck reached out and covered the mask on his face a little tighter, and stood behind Chu Huai with his head bowed.

"My apprentice's face has been injured since she was a child, and she has always worn a mask, no matter what I say, she is reluctant to take off the mask, for fear that others will see the wound on her face."

"Aren't you really your sister?" Wen Mu looked at the mandarin duck with a little loss in her eyes, "I don't know where my sister went." ”

"Queen Mother, don't worry, Miss Mandarin Duck has her own natural appearance, and she will definitely come back safely."

"If it weren't for my selfishness, my sister wouldn't have ......"

"Queen, why do you say that?" Chu Huai suddenly became a little curious, there seemed to be some story between these two people that he didn't know.

"It was the night before I got married, my mother came to me, saying that she wanted me to blow the pillow wind in the emperor's ear, so that the emperor accepted my sister as a concubine, I did promise my mother at that time, but when I entered the palace, I regretted it, I didn't want to share the emperor's love with others, even if that person was a sister, I didn't want to, so, later, I didn't mention this matter. I know that my sister has liked the emperor since she was a child, and the position of the queen should have been my sister's, but now that I think about it, if it weren't for my selfishness, my sister would not have left the house and never returned. Wen Mu lowered her eyes, and with her pale complexion, she looked particularly pitiful.

The mandarin duck clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into the flesh of his palm. It turned out to be because of you, if it weren't for you, Obuchi wouldn't have said that to me in the South China Sea.

"Queen Mother, don't blame yourself too much, feelings are not something that can not be forced, I am a stupid person, and I am not very good at comforting people." Chu Huai quietly reached out and pulled the mandarin duck's sleeve, signaling her to calm down.

"It's fine." Wen Mu smiled at Chu Huai, "I'm sorry, Master Chu, I have spit out bitter water to you for so long." ”

"It's good to make you happy, and the medicine is almost cold, so you might as well drink it."

Chu Huai helped Wen Lan sit up slightly, Wen Lan held the medicine, lowered his head and sniffed it, and then took some of the medicine away with a look of disgust, "How can this medicine have a strange smell?" ”

"I guess it's the smell of blood."

"Blood?"

"One of the antidotes to the Six Poisonous Gu is the blood of your beloved."

"According to what you say, is this the emperor's blood?"

"Exactly."

Wen Mu looked at the dark medicine surface, frowned, pinched his nose, tilted his head, and put a bowl of medicine into his stomach.

"Ahh At this time, the door of the dormitory was pushed open vigorously, and it was Xia Yuan. He ran in in a hurry, knelt beside Wen Mu's bed, hugged her hard, and buried his face in her chest, "Great, you're finally awake, great." ”

Wen Mu's face was filled with a happy expression, and he gently touched Xia Yuan's hair, "Well, I'm worried about you." ”

"How? Does it still hurt? Xia Yuan let go of Wen Mo and brushed the hair on her face with his hand, his eyes full of worry.

"Thanks to Mr. Chu, I don't hurt anymore."

"That's good, that's good, you don't know how worried I am about you these days, watching you hurt, my heart hurts too."

"Look at you, how come you don't know how to take care of yourself? Have you not slept well all these nights? Wen Mu touched the thick blue-black under Xia Yuan's eyes.

"It's not because I'm worried about your ......"

"You are the emperor, you have worked so hard during the day, if you don't have a good rest at night, if you also fall ill, who should govern this country?"

"How can you be important?" Xia Yuan pouted, and all that was written on his face was dissatisfaction.

"What are you talking about?"

……

Chu Huai stood up, gave way to the two of them, pulled the mandarin duck who could see her iron face even if she was wearing a mask, and took a few steps back.

"Your Majesty, my apprentice entered the palace for the first time, and she has been so nervous that she can't do it, and now she looks a little uncomfortable, so I'll take her back to rest first."

"Okay, Young Master Chu, do you have a place to live in the Imperial City? If not, you can go to the old house of the Queen Mother to live. Xia Yuan stood up and sent the two to the door of the dormitory.

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, we have been living in Imperial Doctor Xu's mansion for the past few days."

"In that case, if you need anything in the future, please feel free to tell me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. By the way, the queen mother, you still need to drink the medicine again in the evening, and I will ask Xiaozhi to send it for you at that time, then I will wait for tomorrow to come back to the queen mother's doctor. Chu Huai, who had already stepped out of the dormitory, probed in again and admonished.

"Okay, Master Chu walks slowly." Wen Mu, who had just been lying down, struggled to sit up again, and Xia Yuan hurriedly walked back to her side and helped her.

"Ah Yan, your body is just right, don't be too forced."

Chu Huai gently closed the door for the two, blocking the conversation between the two on the other side of the door.

"Lord Chu Gu, are you going back?" Imperial Doctor Xu, who had been standing outside the door, hurriedly greeted him.

"Well, take the mandarin ducks back to rest."

"What's wrong with the queen?"

"It's just the Gu poison of the Six Poison Gu. Just drink the medicine for a few days. ”

"Six poisonous Gu? What is it? How come I have never seen it in a medical book? ”

"This is natural, the Six Poison Gu is a Gu unique to the Western Regions, and I am also a friend of the Western Regions, and I only knew that there is such a Gu poison."

"It's really worthy of being the master of the valley, and sure enough, there is no disease that the lord of the valley can't cure in this world."
