It was getting late, the sunset was setting, and the fiery clouds in the sky were almost dyeing half of the sky like blood, He Xi was guarded in his courtyard, and the two rough envoys were guarding in front of the door like two door gods.

The ugly child brought the teacup, leaned over and whispered in He Xi's ear: "Little master, does this really work?" ”

He Xi signaled to her to rest assured, and she said, "Is there any news from Lianxin?" ”

Ruyi nodded and said, "I've already told Lianxin, there should be a move tonight, but the eldest prince, is the little master sure of it?" ”

A touch of pain flashed in He Xi's eyes, and she was silent, as if she was conscious, and did not ask again. At this time, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door, and then a soft voice was heard: "Xi Cairen, the queen asked me to bring something to Cairen." ”

It was Qiao'er, He Xi motioned to Ruyi to open the door, but before Ruyi walked to the door. The door had already opened, and it was the two rough grandmothers, and now they had flattering smiles on their faces, as if they were their own home, and invited Qiao'er into the house, frowning dissatisfiedly.

But knowing that they are in a difficult situation now, they don't say anything, Qiao'er is holding a small box in her hand, Qiao'er put the box on the table, and said: "The queen said, although the talented person received the punishment, but the injury on the face of the talented person can not be ignored, back in the palace, the talented person has no way to call the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, delaying the condition, leaving a scar is not good-looking, so the mother asked me to send this box of ointment." ”

He Xi smiled: "Then thank the queen mother." ”

Qiao'er looked back at the ugly girl who was standing aside, and suddenly said: "I don't know if this ointment has any effect on removing scars, if so, the ugly girl begs your little master, let her give you some to use, save yourself from wearing a mask all day, by the way, I haven't seen it yet, the true face of the ugly girl——"

With an inquiring look in her eyes, He Xi's heart sank, and she had a bad premonition, she looked at Qiao'er, but Qiao'er only stared at Chou'er, as if it was not because He Xi came this time.

Chou'er half-hung her head and said slowly: "Chou'er has a wound on her face, don't frighten Miss Qiao'er, it's just that it's been like this for more than ten years, and I don't care too much about it." ”

Qiao'er saw that Chou'er's answer was seamless, so she looked at her and said with a wry smile: "Don't mind Ugly girl, I just said casually, there is no one to serve the queen mother, I want to go back." Only then do people remember to use it. ”

After saying that, he bowed and withdrew.

Ruyi followed, closed the door, Qiao'er glanced at the two grandmothers, the two grandmothers understood, followed, Qiao'er looked around, found that no one noticed here, took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms and said: "This is a drug, Xicai people violated the palace rules and angered Long Yan, in order to prevent recurrence, you-" Speaking, she raised her eyebrows at He Xi's room, one of the grandmothers reacted very quickly, took the things in Qiao'er's hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "The queen can rest assured, we will definitely get things done."

Qiao'er nodded with satisfaction, and then left, not long after leaving, when she passed by Concubine De's courtyard, she saw Aunt Ruizhi hurriedly entering the courtyard, followed by a imperial doctor, her heart moved slightly, and she immediately went back to report to Lan Ruo.

On the other side, Lan Xin was leaning on Tuoba Chen's arms and coquettish, and the two were in love.

Linglong was happy to see that there was nothing more pleasing than her master's favor, and she waited far away under the eaves of the porch to prevent the unsightly subordinates from ruining the atmosphere.

But I didn't want to, Fuqing came in with a solemn expression, Linglong saw it, hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Fu, Your Majesty and Niangniang are talking inside-look at it-"

Linglong smiled with a hint, but Fuqing hurriedly said: "This matter is very important, and I have to tell Your Majesty." ”

As he spoke, he walked over and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is sick—"

Lan Xin was saying something with a smile, when she heard Fuqing's voice, the smile froze on her face, she straightened up, although Tuoba Chen was a little angry because of Tuoba Lin's nonsense before, but when he heard that he was sick, he couldn't help but get nervous.

He called Fuqing in and replied, "When is it sick?" How come I don't know? But have you seen it with a doctor? ”

A few questions in a row are enough to see that Tuoba Chen cares in his heart, and Lan Xin has some bad feelings in her heart, but she also knows that there is only this one child in the palace now, and His Majesty will inevitably care. She said softly and comfortingly: "When the concubine sees the eldest prince, she is still alive and kicking, and it won't be a big deal if you think about it." ”

Fuqing arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, it was reported by the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, but he didn't say anything about the illness, just said that Aunt Ruizhi said that the eldest prince was sick, so she took a imperial doctor and left." Thinking about it, it happened suddenly, and the concubine Niangniang would only be Her Majesty if she didn't have time. ”

Tuoba Chen frowned and said, "Let's go, go to the concubine and have a look-"

Lan Xin hurriedly helped Tuoba Chen to get up, and the two went towards the concubine's courtyard, and as soon as they walked to the door, they saw the queen who had changed into a regular dress and also went out.

Several people were tacit, one after the other entered the concubine's courtyard, and the eunuch guarding the door saw it and wanted to tell him, but Tuoba Chen waved his hand to stop it, Lan Ruo said: "Your Majesty really feels sorry for the eldest prince, for fear that the voice will be noisy." ”

Tuoba Chen didn't deny it, just walked in quickly, inside the house, the eldest prince was lying on the bed, the imperial doctor was taking his pulse, got up and looked at the eldest prince's face, and after a moment of deliberation, he confirmed: "The eldest prince is fine, it's just that he has some allergies." ”

When Tuoba Chen heard this, he looked over. I saw that Tuoba Lin's face was densely packed, the same rash as He Xi's face, but it was not as serious. Lan Ruo said: "What's the matter, why are they all too sensitive?" ”

The doctor asked suspiciously: "Oh? Does the queen know that there are still people with allergies? Lan Ruo nodded, and Tuoba Chen said: "It's a talented man with a pollen allergy to the sycamore tree, I don't know if it has anything to do with Lin'er's condition?" ”

The imperial doctor stroked the green beard under his chin, and said thoughtfully: "The old minister is still thinking about it, although the eldest prince is a symptom of allergies, but his pulse does not fluctuate in the slightest, and he is calm and powerful, since His Majesty said so, it makes sense, the eldest prince is infected." ”

"What do you mean?" Concubine De's eyes were slightly red, and she was very anxious.

"This rash may be caused by allergies, but the rash itself may also be contagious, plus the eldest prince is still young, his body is thin, and he is not as resistant as adults, so it is not uncommon to be infected, but Your Majesty don't worry, the eldest prince's illness is not serious, just apply the medicine to the affected area for two days, don't eat spicy food in the near future, it will be fine soon." Hearing what the imperial doctor said, Concubine De breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Ruizhi asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription, and Tuoba Lin lay on the bed, opened his round eyes and said, "Grandma Taifei, itchy." ”

The appearance was very pitiful, Concubine De was distressed, she was afraid that Tuoba Lin would reach out and scratch the affected area on her face, and said: "Lin'er, Grandma Taifei knows, but you can't touch your face now, do you know-"

Tuoba Lin intuitively felt very uncomfortable on his face, but remembered that he had made Grandma Taifei angry today, so he nodded obediently.

Lan Ruo said on the side: "The eldest prince is really pitiful, and at a young age, he has to suffer such a sin. Xi Cairen is also right, he has a rash on his face, and he doesn't care. ”

Lan Xin glanced at Tuoba Chen, and when she saw that he looked serious, she added fuel to the fire and said: "But isn't it, it's okay that there is no problem, if there is really something long and two short, then it will really outweigh the losses." Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, Tuoba Chen's face sank a little, he took a deep breath, slowed his breath, and said to Concubine De: "I know that Concubine Lin'er feels sorry for Lin'er, but I can't rely on him for everything, today's matter is fortunately, there is still room for redemption." What the queen and Concubine Hui said is not unreasonable. ”

Concubine De admitted that she did have some bias and appreciation for He Xi, but her behavior became more and more unexpected again and again.

Originally, she thought that He Xi just wanted to seek a stable position in the harem, but whether it was the last time she framed Concubine Shu or the matter of imitating the former queen this time, it was all contrary to that purpose, and she couldn't help but feel as if she had never really understood He Xi.

Thinking of this, she sighed heavily and said: "The mourning family knows, today's affairs are the indecision of the mourning family, and many matters in the harem can be decided by the queen and the emperor." Because the eldest prince was sick, even with the look of the concubine De, Tuoba Chen pondered: "The concubine should also take care of her body, although the imperial doctor said that adults are not easy to be infected, but you can't ignore it, right?" ”

Lan Ruo said: "Your Majesty, it is better to take Lin'er to my courtyard, and the concubine will take care of it for two days, and then send it back to the concubine when the illness is almost gone, and the concubine will rest for the next two days." ”

Concubine De wanted to refuse, but Tuoba Chen said: "The queen is thoughtful, so let's do what the queen says." Lan Ruo was happy in her heart, she didn't expect Tuoba Chen to agree with her words, so she hurriedly suppressed the joy on her brows and bowed her head in thanks.

Concubine De saw that the emperor had already made up his mind, and it was not easy to say anything, so she glanced at Rui Zhi, who understood and said busily: "Your Majesty, although the people around the queen mother are quick with their hands and feet, they don't know much about the diet and daily life of the eldest prince, so it is better for the slave and maid to help in the past, which is also good." ”

Although Lan Ruo was dissatisfied, Tuoba Chen was able to promise himself to take Tuoba Lin over, which was already the biggest concession, and before others could speak, Lan Ruo said: "The concubine also thinks that Aunt Ruizhi's words are reasonable, and the concubine is still worried about this matter, but fortunately, Aunt Ruizhi is careful." ”
