Chapter 167 Respite

Danyue sent Di Bao in, looked at Li Xiaoyi's face carefully, and said worriedly: "Girl, let's take a break and look again, now her face is blue again." Li Xiaoqi himself also felt dizzy, and he didn't dare to hold on, so he lay down on the couch with the help of the light moon, closed his eyes and rested for most of the hour before sitting up again, pondering the new copy of the mansion and the large and small spy reports collected from everywhere word by word.

This year's Shangding Day Festival is more solemn than in previous years, in previous years, it was just the main sacrifice of the country's prince's sacrificial wine, but this year, it was the six princes who did the main sacrifice! But the eldest prince preempted this book of honoring the sages, this book of honoring the sages and sages was sprinkled, and the writing was good, the staff of the prince's mansion did not know how many beards they had twisted before they made such an article, and they copied it in the Ming Fa Mansion before the day of Shangding.

Li Xiaoqi put down the copy, rubbed his temples, leaned back to rest, picked up the box handed in by the long term, slowly peeled off the paint seal with a small silver knife, took out a few thin pieces of paper, looked at it carefully, motioned to Danyue to bring the charcoal basin, threw the paper into the charcoal basin, the paper was instantly rolled into black ash, lit up a few times, and became gray again, hidden in the gray charcoal ash, as if it had never existed. Li Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back and closed his eyes, and slowly thought about it, the people who diagnose Emperor Wu's pulse every day are the three of Imperial Physician Huang Zheng, Imperial Physician Sun and Imperial Physician Jin, since the beginning of the year, Imperial Physician Hu and Imperial Physician Jiang have been added, these two, one is good at dizziness and phlegm drinking, and the other is good at stroke and dryness, these two people have been diagnosed and treated since years ago, it seems that these two symptoms must be there, but what kind of situation is Emperor Wu at this time? Are people awake? Is it critically ill and dragging? Or stroke hemiplegia but stable condition, stroke hemiplegia, drag on for three or five years, even ten or eight years is a common thing! Li Xiaoqi moved his body in annoyance, trying to figure out the exact condition of Emperor Wu! If the hemiplegia is really stabilized, he will not have to delay any more hours in this Taiping Mansion.

After eating half a bowl of thin porridge for lunch, and taking medicine again, Xi'an came in to check the pulse, saying that it was better, Li Xiaoqi was stable, and fell asleep for more than an hour in the afternoon, and woke up and felt a lot refreshed, Haitang sent a bowl of lotus seed porridge in, watched Li Xiaoqi eat, and then reported with a smile: "When the girl was asleep, she came in for a long time, and said that she would ask to see her when the girl woke up." ”

"Let him in!" Li Xiaoqi hurriedly ordered, Begonia went out, and after a while, he led the long term in, and the long term glanced at the drip in the corner of the house, and reported in a low voice: "Girl, I just inquired and understood, now the five imperial doctors who are treating the emperor in the imperial hospital have been living in the palace for a long time, since the fifteenth, the doctor is Huang Taiyi, Sun Taiyi and Jin Taiyi began to return once every ten days, Hu Taiyi and Jiang Taiyi are once on the fifteenth, today is the day when Jiang Taiyi comes back to rest, but the people guarding the palace gate have not seen Jiang Taiyi come out until now. ”

"Is there anyone watching from Imperial Physician Jiang's mansion?"

"Yes!"

"Did the Jiang Mansion send someone to the gate of the palace to pick it up?" Li Xiaoqi then asked, stunned for a long time, Li Xiaoqi frowned and reproached: "Why are you so careless?" If someone from the Jiang Mansion goes to the gate of the palace to follow, it means that Imperial Physician Jiang did not send a message saying that Xiu Mu will not come back this time, but if he comes out later, if Jiang Fu does not send anyone to follow at all, it means that Xiu Mu will not come back this time, and the people guarding the palace gate will no longer have to guard! Chang Yuan hurriedly stood up, lowered his hand and listened to the lesson, his face was flushed, and he was about to speak, Li Xiaoqi stood up and ordered: "Go out and prepare the car, I'll take a look." Looking up at the thin Li Xiaoqi for a long time, he opened his mouth to persuade him, but he was blocked back by Li Xiaoyi's non-negotiable face, lowered his hand and agreed, and went out to prepare the car.

Li Xiaoqi called Begonia and Danyue in, changed into a very ordinary plain silk dress, put on an indigo plain silk cotton cloak, put on a cloak and hat, and Haitang burned a hand stove and sent it to Li Xiaomi's arms, and sent Li Xiaoqi to the front yard door and got into the car.

The car is the most ordinary but half-old paulownia calf car, around the indigo checkered, Xi'an is wearing a black coarse cotton jacket and cotton pants, carrying a whip, leading the mule who pulls the cart out of the door, with long sleeves and hands, carrying a blanket on his back, as if a servant who went out to buy walked in front of the car to lead the way, Nanning is also a black coarse cloth cotton jacket and pants, two hands sleeved on the chest, shrinking the neck to follow the car, a group of three people and a car turned out of the secluded alley, and integrated into the hustle and bustle of Taiping Mansion.

Li Xiaoqi lifted the curtain of the car, and looked at the sunset in the distance through the curtain, Wu Dixiu's rule has always been to go home in the morning and rush back to the duty office early the next morning, what can make Imperial Doctor Jiang come back so late? Or simply can't take a break? Except that Emperor Wu's illness has changed, and it is a bad change, it will not be anything else. Li Xiaoqi exhaled softly, it is good to have changes, whether it is dizziness or stroke, at this age, there are very few good things if there are changes, and the changes in the Taiping Mansion and the palace, the constant changes and big changes, are where their opportunities lie.

"Girl, there are people waiting at the palace gate over there." Xi'an lifted the curtain of the car door and reported in a low voice, Li Xiaoqi said 'um', his mind was slightly calm, and he thought about it and ordered: "Find a suitable place at the gate of Jiang's mansion and wait." Xi'an agreed, Li Xiaoqi leaned back on the pillow, closed his eyes and rested for a while, the car walked for half an hour, paused slightly, Xi'an lifted the curtain probe and came in to take a look, saw that Li Xiaomi's face was fine, and reported with a smile: "Girl, the front is Jiangfu, there are only two or three households in that alley, it is not appropriate for us to park there, there are several north and south goods shops and tea shops, people come and go are not conspicuous, let's wait here, and when I see people, I will drive the car in." ”

"You're thoughtful." Li Xiaoqi praised it, moved to the window, put his head against the carriage board, lifted the thick coarse cloth curtain through the cracks, and looked out. The sunset in the distance submerged into the horizon, the sky darkened a little, the guys in the tea shop and the north and south goods shops next to him closed the door of the shop, and picked up a lantern to pick up and hang it at the door, Li Xiaoqi frowned, her car was delayed here again, I was afraid that it would attract attention, and when I was hesitating, Nanning gently knocked on the carriage board from behind, and Li Xiaoqi was busy looking out of the car.

A gorgeous car with a dark green silk bib and bright glass cups hanging at the four corners was pulled by two horses, and quickly ran through Li Xiaoqi's car, and ran into the alley in front. The alley is not too spacious, Imperial Doctor Jiang's car blocked most of the alley, Xi'an's car seemed to have to wait behind, the front of Jiang's mansion was busy, servants, servants, stewards and a twenty-year-old boy in brocade hurriedly greeted the car, the young man in brocade reached out to help a thin old man get out of the car, this is Imperial Doctor Jiang, Li Xiaoqi looked at Imperial Doctor Jiang intently, under the bright light, Imperial Doctor Jiang looked tired and haggard, helped the hand of the young man in brocade, turned around and signaled to the young man in brocade, and the young man in brocade carefully took out a burden from the car, holding the burden with one hand, and helping Imperial Doctor Jiang into the mansion with the other.

Xi'an drove out of the alley unhurriedly, Li Xiaoqi put down the curtain of the car, and breathed a sigh of relief gently, although this Imperial Doctor Jiang was tired and haggard, his expression was quite stable, it seems that the emperor's illness is at least stable to an acceptable level, so it's okay, he has just arrived, everything has not been sorted out, and he is sick again, if the situation can be stable for a while, he can also have a respite, first take care of his illness and then say, in this world, a tetanus can kill people, but he must not get sick. Li Xiaoqi figured it out, his body also relaxed, leaned back on the thick pillow, closed his eyes, bumped all the way back from the car, and helped Danyue back to rest.

Shopkeeper Sun came and left, left a few old ginseng, said that it was sent by Lord Yan, and left a sentence, in the past two days, someone from Yan Mansion came to visit the patient, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly instructed Brother Zhao and Nanning to carefully inspect everywhere, everything from Beiping, where it does not conform to the rules of Wu must be changed, and no one can see that something is wrong, Danyue and Haitang discussed for a long time, and decided to be thrifty in everything, the two of them only know the rules and customs of Kaiping Mansion, how can they know the rules and customs of this Taiping Mansion? That being the case, then just put nothing, it's always good not to do it, Li Xiaoqi listened to the plan of the two, and praised with a smile: "It's really smart!" Don't be too relieved, we are from Zhengcheng, Zhengcheng is close to Beiping, and it is not strange that the speaking customs are close to Beiping, and secondly, Zhengcheng is a small place, of course, it is not as good as the Taiping Mansion, if you ask those mothers-in-law from time to time, people must be very willing to guide you. ”

Sure enough, just after the end of the next day, the two mothers-in-law of Yanfu took ginseng, cinnamon and other things, and came to visit Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi was weak and half-lying on the couch in the east wing, and talked to the two mothers-in-law for a while weakly and timidly, and instructed Danyue to reward the two mothers-in-law with a first-class seal, and the two mothers-in-law pinched the heavy purse, thanked the reward reservedly, came out and pulled out the purse, and poured out the gold ingot! The two looked at each other for a moment in surprise, hurriedly and carefully put away their purses, and returned to the house.

Li Xiaoqi let people pass the word, and the shopkeeper Sun rushed to Yan's mansion with a generous gift, and asked to see Mrs. Yan's mother-in-law, Mrs. Nan, who respectfully and politely thanked her, and accompanied her to talk about the gossip and ancient things in the market for a long time, and Mrs. Nan was full of praise for the sensibility and knowledge of the five girls of the Mu family.
