After talking to Concubine Chun's mother and son, Lan Xin still had some concerns. Seeing Cao Xuyan coming out, he motioned for him to have something to say.

Cao Xuyan has been staying in the Tai Hospital and Zhongcui Palace recently, and he rarely sees the queen, so he naturally doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity to talk to the queen: "Let the minister send the queen back to Changchun Palace?" ”

"It's fine. This palace has not spoken to Imperial Doctor Cao for a few days. After speaking, Lan Xin took Suo Lan's hand on his shoulder, and Cao Xuyan followed him respectfully. Concubine Chun is pregnant three times, and you have always been serving the dragon fetus, how is her body? ”

"Back to the Queen's words." Cao Xuyan secretly glanced at the queen with the tail of his eyes, and his heart was already warm. "The pure concubine Niangniang is pregnant three times, although her body is deficient, but after all, there is no big problem. Every day, the prescriptions prescribed by Weichen are taken by the concubine Niangniang on time and in accordance with the amount, and there is no day of slacking off. So the dragon fetus is safe and sound. Even if there is a slight carelessness today, it will only cause the tire gas to vibrate, and I believe that if you take care of it, it will not be a big problem after all. ”

"Then the palace will be at ease." Lan Xin could feel that Cao Xuyan, who was walking slowly beside him, seemed to have lost a lot, and he was also slightly moved in his heart. "It's hard for Imperial Doctor Cao to be so dedicated, and the stability of the dragon fetus is your credit."

Although Cao Xuyan was happy that the queen cared about her like this, she didn't feel that these were what she wanted. On the contrary, when he inadvertently looked at the queen's clear eyes, he saw a slight smile from the bottom of his eyes, and he was happy. As long as she feels good, there's nothing that isn't worth it. "The queen is serious, these are just the affairs of the ministers."

Lan Xin hooked her lips and smiled: "Originally, it was also a matter of duty, but the pure concubine has always been not on good terms with you." This palace knows that it is difficult for you to abandon your previous grudges and serve by the side of the pure concubine. But it's only you, and it can only be you. This palace will not believe anyone's words except you. ”

Such words were comparable to ten thousand gold, Cao Xuyan's heart was moved, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a burning meaning. "How can the minister be virtuous, how can he be worthy of the trust of the queen."

"You and I have fellowship with our lives." Lan Xin was moved, and said slowly: "So this palace is so relieved of you." Xu Yan, put aside your uncle's affairs for the time being. This palace knows that you will take his old man back to the mansion to raise him personally, and from this you can see that you are a loving and righteous person. Even if he almost killed you, you still won't hold a grudge. ”

Lan Xin wanted to say that in fact, Cao Xuyan was very good and almost impeccable. It's just that sometimes it's inevitable to be taken advantage of, but it's kept in the dark. "But do you know that if you are not good to others, others will be good to you?"

Cao Xuyan only felt a grumble in his heart, and was slightly flustered. "The minister is stupid, forget the queen's mother." Isn't it her own heart for the queen that she inadvertently saw out? Thereupon...... She wants to advise herself that she doesn't have to be delusional? A heart is up and down, like a bump on horseback, and as if it is sailing on the sea, swaying and not knowing how to keep it stable and calm.

"This palace has read the pulse case and diagnosis and treatment records of the pure concubine, and knows that you have been secretly protecting the fetus for the pure concubine. In fact, her dragon fetus is not as stable as it seems to outsiders, right? Lan Xin didn't want to expose Cao Xuyan, she did this so that he could get out of the way.

Cao Xuyan suddenly realized that what the queen said was just the dragon fetus of a pure concubine. Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, the disappointed queen did not have insight into his true feelings, but he was only uncomfortable for a moment, and then hurriedly excused himself. "The queen mother is aware of everything, and she really has nothing to hide from her mother. Weichen deserves to die, he made his own opinion, and has been hiding the truth of the matter, and asked the queen to punish him. ”

Lan Xin made people stop and walked down slowly. "You are following from afar, there are a few words in this palace, and I want to say them to Imperial Doctor Cao alone."

Suo Lan hurriedly responded, leading a group of palace people to retreat far away.

"Queen Mother......" Cao Xuyan didn't know what she wanted to say, but lowered her head very guiltily: "The minister thinks he is doing it seamlessly, but he doesn't want to leave a flaw, and I hope the queen will forgive me." If the matter of burning Ai to protect the fetus for the pure concubine Niangniang is discovered by others, the minister is willing to bear it, and it will never affect the reputation of the mother. ”

The nose was sour, and Lan Xin wanted to cry. She turned around slowly, facing Cao Xuyan sideways, not wanting him to see the emotion in her eyes. "Do you think that this palace called you to stay and said these words alone for the sake of your own reputation? Even if the East Window incident really happened, in front of the emperor, the palace can also be said to be for the sake of the emperor's heir. Even if he violated the palace rules, the motive was excellent, and the emperor would not blame him. But you're different.

Selfishly using taboo methods to protect the concubine's fetus is equivalent to ruining your own good future. If this matter must be handed over to a person, it can be understood, and it will not be the palace that is accustomed to treating the harem leniently and thinking about the emperor's heir. It won't be a pure concubine who gave birth to a dragon fetus for the third time...... It can only be you, and only you are the most suitable. ”

Cao Xuyan smiled faintly, maybe he didn't even realize that he was laughing. "The minister understands these very well, and the queen mother has to mention it. Since the year he entered the palace to serve, the minister has been prepared for this. It is not so much that the imperial doctor is to keep the masters and little masters in the palace safe, but rather to eat in the fire and ice.

The words are not so good, but the reason is not bad at all. Therefore, since the minister walked into the Forbidden City, he didn't think that one day he would be able to walk out with his whole body. Fortunately, thanks to your favor and support of the queen, the minister can always be by your side to serve you. Over the years, you have not instructed your ministers to do anything that is sorry for their conscience.

On the contrary, he repeatedly helped his ministers achieve fame and did his duty as a royal doctor. I am grateful for your support, and I dare not forget the original intention of entering the palace. So the queen doesn't have to worry about the ministers......"

"This palace knows that you are still unmarried, so it can be said that there is nothing to worry about. But don't forget, your uncle's old son still depends on you to raise him, is it true that your medical skills will be lost in the hands of this palace, and the medical skills passed down from generation to generation in your Cao family will be lost in the hands of your generation? Lan Xin almost blurted out and asked, why do you want to help me so recklessly.

It's just that if you ask it, I'm afraid that if you ask, you won't be able to hold it anymore.

"It's not worth it." A thousand words are combined into one sentence, which is these three words. "Your heart, this palace understands, you don't want to go against the will of this palace. But Imperial Doctor Cao, even if the dragon fetus of the pure concubine can't be saved, it is just the destiny of heaven. You don't have to match your own net worth and life for her, ancestral medical skills and medical ethics.

If it is just because of the decree of this palace, and you are embarrassed to this point, this palace is willing to take it back. I don't want you to ......."

"The Queen." Cao Xuyan interrupted her: "It's not a decree you imposed on the minister, in fact, it's just the minister's own decision. Niangniang really doesn't need to blame herself, let alone take care of it. Now that he has done so, he has prepared for the worst. Let alone...... The pure concubine Niangniang has been supported with tenacious perseverance, coupled with the minister's medical skills, I think that the dragon fetus will definitely survive smoothly until the day of delivery. ”

Lan Xin shook his head: "This palace also thinks it's okay, but today's matter, presumably someone has already paid attention to the dragon fetus." I'm afraid that you will work hard, and in the end you will only end up with a bamboo basket to draw water, so it is better to withdraw as soon as possible, don't use the forbidden methods in the palace, and use the medicine how you want. ”

"Niangniang, the minister is sure ......"

"Why don't you understand what this palace is saying?" Lan Xin was a little impatient, and her voice couldn't help but be a little higher. "This palace said that you don't need to do this anymore. You really don't have to risk your life for a word from this palace, isn't it worth it when you know? ”

"It's worth it." It was the first time Cao Xuyan talked back to the queen, and it was also the first time that he insisted on his position like this. For you, it's worth anything, even death. I just think it's ridiculous, how good would it be if I could say these words to her? It's already in the mouth, but I can't open my mouth.

Lan Xin was silent for a moment, staring at Cao Xuyan in front of him with a hesitant expression. "You've done well enough, the reason why this palace found that the dragon fetus of the pure concubine was not as comforted as imagined was just a guess by this palace."

Cao Xuyan was shocked again, saying that his recipes and records, and even the decoction of medicine in the imperial pharmacy did not show any flaws, and he couldn't help but have a taste in his heart. "The minister dares to ask the queen, then you are ......"

Sneering, Lan Xin stroked his cheek: "In the past two months, Zhong Cui Palace has asked the Internal Affairs Office for a lot of rouge gouache. It is a century-old treasure house in Beijing, and the top is good. Could it be that the pure concubine is used to reward the palace maids? Naturally not, she must want to cover up her illness, so she will apply a lot of things on her face every day. “

As soon as the words changed, Lan Xin lost the already thin layer of pride: "While no one notices, don't do anything beyond the boundary." This palace is not for self-preservation, so I don't want you to have an accident. In fact, Hongu hopes that you will serve by the side of Hongu for a long time, and do not make wrong decisions because of temporary pros and cons.

What's more, Concubine Chun's dragon fetus is almost nine months old, she will definitely be able to support it and won't let herself have anything to do. All you have to do is do your best to save her and the child in your womb in the normal way. Stop making your own decisions and risking your own life. For the sake of the emperor's heir, it's hard to say whether it's worth it or not. But for the sake of the pure concubine......"

After weighing it repeatedly, Lan Xin still said: "Or maybe it's for the palace, it's really not worth it at all." Are you in vain? ”

Lan Xin is not wood, nor is it an elm lump. She knew what Hongtian did to her in the past. Just like how Cao Xuyan treated her now, she also understood it. It's just that because of her identity, she doesn't want to have anything to do with them. As long as he is his "virtuous queen", he will have no regrets in this life.
