When she arrived outside the hospital, Xiangru's strength was exhausted, and she really didn't have the strength to drag Chef Li to take a few more steps, so she had to scream for help, and called the inferior palace maids who were sweeping the floor nearby to help, and sent Chef Li back to the room where she lived to rest, while she herself went back to the kitchen to report the news.

Everyone in the kitchen gasped when they heard that Chef Li had been beaten by Aunt Rong because today's porridge was unappetizing, and several other cooks also began to worry, afraid that what would happen if the food they made was found by Aunt Rong.

"Aunt Rong's temper is getting worse and worse, is she sick?" Someone complained casually.

No one answered, most people didn't know if this was a disease, Lilac saw that Xiangru didn't make a sound, she was silent, and Xiangru was not good at saying it clearly, how could she explain menopause to these people? What is Dryness? What kind of medicine should I use to treat Aunt Yung? In what position did she go to the doctor to prescribe medicine? If Aunt Rong knew that she was giving her medicine, she wouldn't beat herself to death?

"I don't know if it's sick, but who has a temper that gets more and more irritable with age? Shouldn't people's tempers become more and more peaceful when they get older? After thinking about it, Xiangru still decided to twist and turn to let these colleagues know the fact that Aunt Rong's situation was not good, so that everyone could be somewhat mentally prepared.

"In this case, it's actually still sick, right?" Some hesitated to express what they understood.

"None of us are Langzhong, why don't you have the audacity to ask the doctor in front of you to come and show Aunt Rong?" Lilac said weakly, "But if Aunt Rong knows that we suspect that she is sick, she must be beaten to death." ”

As soon as Lilac said this, the voices in the kitchen suddenly disappeared, the tiger's buttocks couldn't be touched, and Aunt Rong's female power couldn't be collided.

"Let's tighten our skin...... I don't know who threw down such a sentence.

Everyone in the kitchen dispersed silently, each doing their own thing, and the cooks were anxiously planning the dishes for lunch.

After washing today's dishes, Xiangru went back to the house to embroider, and then went back to the kitchen at noon to get lunch for Aunt Rong.

At noon, Aunt Rong did not have the violence of the morning, but thinking of Chef Li's experience, Xiangru still didn't dare to take a breath and stood next to her, Aunt Rong's little movements made her frightened for a while, until the end of lunch, Xiangru packed up her things and walked out of Aunt Rong's yard to breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

It's been a sad day.

Back in the kitchen, the cooks stayed here to wait for Xiangru's reply, and when they heard that Aunt Rong was not dissatisfied with lunch, they temporarily put aside the big stone in their hearts and went back to the house to rest, waiting for the test of the afternoon snack in a few hours.

Xiangru poured the scraps into the bucket, took the dishes outside to the basin to be washed, then turned back to the kitchen and took up the meal left for herself, and then returned to the well, chatting with Lilac and Yinhua while eating.

Hearing Xiangru say that Aunt Rong had a normal lunch, Lilac and Yinhua also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aunt Rong won't beat up the cook, even if she is sick, she must still have this bit of proportion, but she is pitiful Chef Li, and she will be beaten for nothing." Yinhua said as she scrubbed the spatula.

"It may also be that I didn't eat breakfast and was hungry, so I didn't pick it." Once it was determined that Aunt Yung was sick, Xiangru no longer made any optimistic estimates about her behavior.

"Xiangru, don't scare us, you broke the cooks, who will cook?" Lilac's eyes widened.

"Aunt Rong beat me so hard, and I didn't see me lying on the bed and not getting up."

"That's because you've been beaten too much."

"So, the same can be said." Xiangru puffed out her cheeks and squinted her eyes in a smile and nodded.

Lilac and Honeysuckle shivered, and they both buried themselves in the work at hand.

Xiangru finished lunch on the side, and just squatted down to wash the dishes together, a handsome girl came under the kitchen porch, not very old, who looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old, and kindly asked Xiangru for a clay stove.

Xiangru and the others recognized this little palace maid, named Yugui, who was the palace maid next to Aunt Xiao, the head of the women's medical hall, and whoever saw her in the entire female medical hall had to give three points of face.

There was a wall outside the small tandoor kitchen, Xiangru didn't say a word and took one to her, and casually greeted her, "Sister Yugui, Aunt Xiao has been fine lately, I haven't seen her come to the kitchen to inspect for a long time." ”

"Aunt Xiao is sick, and the doctor prescribed medicine, isn't this just to get a clay stove and go back to decoction medicine for her."

"Huh? Sick? How so? The last time I saw Aunt Xiao, it was fine. Xiangru's words were completely subconsciously and casually.

"It is said that it is a disease caused by hard work, and the root of the disease has already been saved, just waiting for an outbreak opportunity. Isn't it going to be winter in a few days? One day after another, Aunt Xiao suffered a little cold, and she didn't take it seriously at first, but she brought out the root of the disease, and she fell ill all of a sudden. No, the doctor prescribed medicine. The little palace maid said with a sad look on her face.

"Ah, Aunt Xiao's illness is a big deal, you go back and decoct the medicine."

The little palace maid carried the clay stove and walked away quickly, while Xiangru returned to the well with an unfathomable expression.

In the morning, when Chef Li was beaten, she moved out of Aunt Xiao in order to save herself, and then I heard the news that she was sick, Aunt Xiao is the biggest head of the women's medical hall, she is sick, and the aunts in charge must visit, I don't know if this can bring her any turnaround worth using......

Xiangru's heart is thinking about the word job-hopping, even if she is given ten thousand taels of gold, she doesn't want to spend half her life in the deep palace.

"Xiangru, what did Cinnamon tell you just now?" Even if you are in the closed deep palace, you can't stop people's love for gossip, the gossip star eyes of silver flower and lilac~~~~

"Aunt Xiao is sick." Xiangru came to her senses, bent down and lowered her voice and whispered.

"Huh?!"

"And the illness is not light, the doctor has prescribed the medicine and taken the medicine, I think Aunt Rong has something to do recently, and she won't think about how to beat us."

Yinhua and Lilac looked at each other for a while, Yinhua hooked her finger at Xiangru, motioned for her to squat down, and the three good sisters whispered together.

"Do you know what kind of illness Aunt Xiao has?"

"Yu Gui said that it was the wind chill at first, but it brought out the root of the disease that had accumulated over the years, and now it is a disease caused by hard work."

"Yo, if the wind and cold are up, just take medicine for a few days, and it will be troublesome to become sick from hard work. Aunt Xiao's illness can be big or small, except for our Aunt Rong, several other aunts will definitely take action. Lilac said.

"Yes, Aunt Xiao was originally two years away from the age of leaving the palace, according to the convention, the replacement candidate was directly selected from the aunts in charge below, and it has always been rumored that she has been looking for a stand-in for a long time, and now that she is sick, those aunts will definitely not let go of this opportunity." Even if someone with Yinhua's status knows, the entire medical hall must be known to everyone.

"I think it's probably going to be a little more urgent." Xiangru thought about it and said slowly.

"Why?" Honeysuckle and Lilac speak in unison.

"Don't forget, just now Yu Gui said that Aunt Xiao has been diagnosed with overwork, and the root of the disease was originally latent, until Aunt Xiao contracted a cold recently, which caused the root of the disease. What I'm thinking is, according to the rules of the palace, is this a major illness or a minor illness? ”

"Wind chill is a minor illness, but if you add it to overwork, it may ...... Is it a serious illness? Yinhua guessed.

Xiangru stared at Yinhua and Lilac with blazing eyes, "If you are seriously ill, what are the rules in the palace?" ”

"Leave the palace early." The two spoke in unison again.

"So ......"

"Xiangru, do you mean to say that the war for the position of the aunt of the head of the female medical hall is about to officially start?" Yinhua and Lilac have expressions that want to watch a good show.

"Shhhhh......h We don't know anything anyway. ”

The speculation about Aunt Xiao's condition ended here, and Xiangru did not intend to speculate until new news came.

After washing the dishes, Xiangru went back to the house to embroider, Aunt Xiao is none of her business, that is Aunt Rong's problem to worry about, but if she doesn't finish embroidering the sleeves within two days, it's her business, Aunt Rong's whip is really painful and painful on her body, looking at Chef Li being beaten like that miserably today, you know what kind of training this body has gone through in the past few years to develop a pair of solid muscles and bones.

In the afternoon, the snack was ready, Xiangru went to the kitchen to get the dim sum tea, and the cooks watched Xiangru go out with the food box one by one.

Calling Aunt Rong at the door, Xiangru carefully pushed the door in, and went straight to the table to cover the meal, not daring to look up elsewhere.

Aunt Rong, who was sitting in front of the dresser under the window, put down the comb in her hand and came over to eat snacks, while Xiangru waited, and at the same time vaguely seemed to smell a light herbal smell on Aunt Rong.

Slowly taking a few deep breaths, it was indeed Aunt Rong who smelled the smell of herbs, Xiangru knew in her heart, it seemed that Aunt Rong already knew about Aunt Xiao's illness, and had already gone to see it, before she came back with the smell of medicine.

The aunts' yards are all next to each other, they are all neighbors before and after, and it is impossible for the aunts in charge of Aunt Xiao's illness not to know about it.

Xiangru remained silent, and did not pretend to be clever to ask, Aunt Xiao's condition was still inconclusive, and she didn't know anything.

Aunt Rong seemed to be thinking about Aunt Xiao's affairs, but she was absent-minded anyway, she didn't know what she was thinking, she only ate half a plate of dim sum, drank a cup of tea, and let Xiangru withdraw.

After returning to the kitchen, Xiangru disposed of the leftover food, touched two pieces of dim sum and rushed back to the house to embroider.

Not long after, Yinhua Lilac came back to rest temporarily after finishing her work, and sat down next to Xiangru on a stool, and also started needlework, and by the way, she told Xiangru about the new news she had just heard about Chef Li.

After Chef Li was sent back in the morning, because the cooks in the same room were working in the kitchen, no one in the courtyard and house could take care of her, she lay alone in bed until noon, until the cooks brought lunch back to see her, only to find that she had a fever, untied her clothes and took a look, most of the injuries on her body were bloody, and the swollen stiff scars were bruised and purple and bloodshot.

The cooks were frightened and had to go to the front and ask the doctor on duty to come and see. The doctor came to treat the wound, and prescribed a prescription for people to go to the pharmacy to grab medicine, but it alarmed Aunt Fang, who was resting in the hut, and deliberately ran out and ridiculed them fiercely.

Yinhua and Lilac complemented each other, and they both paused when they said this, and sighed, "What a shame." ”

After embroidering a thread, Xiangru neatly buried the thread, took another silk thread of the same color, and said while threading the needle: "I was ridiculed by Aunt Fang, let her say, it's not the first time anyway." But I don't think the point is to be ridiculed. ”

"What?" Yinhua and Lilac didn't understand the meaning of Xiangru at once, and they were quite at a loss.

"Aunt Fang and Aunt Rong in the pharmacy have always been at odds, Aunt Rong likes to whip people, she has long known about it, I remember that at the beginning, I was beaten many times to the point of asking a doctor, but then I was beaten and I didn't ask a doctor for this matter. Now Chef Li went to grab medicine because of a serious injury and fever, so she gave Aunt Fang a fresh pigtail for nothing. And don't forget, Chef Li was sent back by another girl from the gate of Aunt Rong's house, and I think everyone should know about it by this time. just caught up with Aunt Xiao's illness again, and the competition between several eldest aunts must be more intense openly and secretly, and if they can't keep it, some people will secretly stumble over it. Aunt Rong's disadvantages have been aggravated again and again, and no one wants to see a tyrannical person sit in that position. ”

"You mean to say that Aunt Rong has no chance of winning?"

"At least it's low. Tell me, what are Aunt Rong's advantages? Among the eldest aunts, the only one who has the most advantage is Aunt Fang, who is in charge of the pharmacy and rough medicine, and Aunt Xiao is now in need of her support. What do the other aunts know? What will our Aunt Rong do? How is she cooking? She has been a great aunt since I entered the palace, even if she was a good cook, but she has not been cooking for a long time in the past few years, who dares to believe her cooking skills now? What did she use to slap Aunt Xiao's ass and reverse the disadvantage? ”

"Xiangru, you...... How could you say that? In the past, it was rare to hear a few words from you every day, and it was quieter than Yinhua. Xiangru's words, Lilac Yinhua, and the two were dumbfounded.

Xiangru's heart jumped, bad, the edge was revealed, she was no longer the He Xiangru she was at the beginning, with low culture and little knowledge, how could she have such good thinking and eloquence.

It's all because lilacs and honeysuckle are not outsiders to this body.

Xiangru hurriedly secretly reviewed and reflected, and next time she should pay attention to it and not repeat it.

"I didn't speak before, but I didn't have the opportunity to speak, who did I say it to? Who will listen to me? People whisper softly. Xiangru hurriedly threw out a sad card to sympathize.

"Xiangru, we know that you have had a hard time in the past few years, Aunt Rong said that she would turn her face, and it was not easy to serve her. But don't hold back, just say whatever you want, others don't listen to you, and me and Yinhua. If you are unhappy, just say it directly, your heart will be better, and it is not worth suffocating your body. Lilac put her arm around Xiangru's shoulder and whispered comfortingly, while Yinhua wiped her eyes and nodded beside her.

"Well, I know, after this illness, I have also figured it out, I must take good care of myself."

"That's right, we still have a long time to live in this palace, we must have a good time."

"Xiangru, it's a good thing that you want to open, but I suddenly thought that if Aunt Rong loses to Aunt Fang everywhere in this competition, wouldn't it be worse for you? If you turn in front of her every day, Aunt Rong will definitely vent all her anger on you. "Yinhua is weak and authentic.

Xiangru was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "I can only pray that she can know some measure." ”

"Alas, people say that a companion is like a tiger, we have no chance to serve in front of the emperor, and Aunt Rong, the tigress, is always by our side." Lilac hung her head and sighed.

"Alas......" Xiangru and Yinhua sighed in unison.
