Chapter 679: Men and Women on the Burning Bed
Yu Ruyi broke off in response, but Meng Xuan didn't even raise his head as if he was unconscious, still entangled with the woman under him. At this time, Qing'er finally noticed that Meng Xuan's state was not normal, and his side face under the candlelight slightly emitted blue light, and even his eyes were blue-green.
"Oops!" Qing'er was so frightened that the handle of the lantern slipped out of her hand and landed on the bed. The oil-soaked lantern paper, which was flammable, lit the sheets at once, and the flames jumped high and climbed up the gauze tent.
Qing'er went to find water to extinguish the fire, and casually touched a big pot and threw it out, leaving a little wine-smelling juice on her fingers, which made her scream twice again. A flask full of spirits fell on the bed, fueling the fire. Qing'er, who was warm-hearted, used her sleeve to fan the fire again, and the tongue of fire instantly jumped on her sleeve, so frightened that she took off her robe and threw it on the ground, which immediately ignited a new fire.
Such a drastic change still couldn't wake up Meng Xuan and turn him into a normal and friendly Meng Xiaoxuan, but Zixiao in his arms found that something was wrong, and escaped from bed with a scream, and pulled out of this love that made Qing'er angry. She tried to drag Meng Xuan off the bed, but Meng Xuan's body was heavy, and she was concentrating on gnawing on the sheets.
"What are you doing stupidly!" Zixiao was anxious and yelled at Qing'er, "Don't call someone to put out the fire soon!" ”
Qing'er woke up and ran to the yard to call someone, but no one showed up after shouting. The fire in the room spread, thick smoke billowed out, and Zixiao inside ran out wearing a thin veil, she was the only one, Meng Xuan was still in the house and gnawed on the sheets!
Oh my God, Meng Xuan shouldn't be burned to death like this, right? Qing'er was blindfolded, unable to believe that she had murdered Meng Xuan with her own hands. Zixiao covered her mouth and cried bitterly, pushed Qing'er down heavily, and shouted unkind words angrily, Qing'er's ears were buzzing, and the outside world couldn't hear the sounds.
Just as the room was covered in smoke and the fire spread to the other rooms, a white-clothed figure rushed from the distant rooftop, making it recognizable in the darkness of the night.
Qing'er raised her head and opened her eyes wide, the white shadow ran extremely fast, leaving two afterimages in her field of vision, and then broke through the roof and entered the fire. Zixiao stopped crying, staring at the door hopefully, hoping that person would save Meng Xuan.
A quarter of an hour passed, the walls burned down, and neither of the people in the house came out.
Another hour had passed, the fire had burned out, and no one had come out of the room. Zixiao stumbled and rushed in, and Qing'er followed in, and as soon as her foot stepped on the ground, she was so scalded that she almost fell. She gritted her teeth and walked in, something strange happened, the more she walked into the room, the colder the floor became, and she looked at it, and there was a layer of frost on the ground and on the tables, chairs and benches, and there was a slight chill.
There were two men sitting cross-legged on the bed, palm-to-palm. Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief, pulled over the chair and sat down, fortunately Duan Xiaolou came in time, otherwise Meng Xuan would have been burned to death by a fire she had set up, and she would really have to apologize to Xiaoyi.

Under the same night sky, the treasure pearl hall of the East Palace is lit up, from the upper seat to the entrance of the hall, the long two rows of phoenix sunflower candles spit bright white flames, and the cloud pattern of the hugging column illuminates the majestic and majestic. The flower candle is mixed with agarwood and white sandalwood, and the aroma of burning is rich and attractive, and before the feast begins, the stomach growls.
As soon as He Angelica arrived in the East Palace, a "surprise" was waiting for her. Zhu Yunwen said that there was a small family banquet in the evening, and she was asked to change her clothes and prepare to participate. He Angelica listened to it at the time, and he was still a little puzzled in his heart, Zhu Yunwen's parents died, and he didn't accept the main concubine and the side concubine, who attended the family banquet in the East Palace?
But when night came, her doubts were solved. It turned out that the so-called "family banquet" was not a family banquet for Zhu Yunwen's family, but a family banquet specially prepared for her - the people of the Luo family, not only Luo Chuanbai from the big room and Luo Chuanpu from the third room attended the banquet, but also an unexpected person appeared.
The people invited to the banquet were all the ministers of the East Palace, and they raised their glasses over and over again to congratulate the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Yunwen, on his virtue and filial piety. "His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has worked tirelessly to finally invite Lao Luo Divine Doctor out of the mountain, it is really filial piety and touching heaven, I believe that under the rejuvenation of Luo Lao Divine Doctor, the Holy Communion will definitely recover soon!"
Zhu Yunwen raised his glass with a smile on his face, and wished him from afar: "The emperor's grandfather is auspicious, and he has the first divine doctor to diagnose the disease, I believe that he will be able to go hunting as scheduled at the beginning of next month, long live my emperor!" With a turn of his eyes, his gaze fell on He Angelica, the smile on the corner of his lips became deeper and deeper, and he said in a very pleasant tone: "Now I have invited the second divine doctor Qingning County Lord, and the two of them together are enough to withstand a Tai Hospital." ”
That's right, the most unexpected guest at the family banquet was Luo Maitong, the old lady of the Luo family, who was paralyzed in bed a few months ago. This old man, who is nearly ninety years old, has a gray beard and hangs down his chest, his spirit is very strong, and his eyes are like two cold moons fished out of a deep well. From the banquet to the present, his eyes have hardly left He Angelica, and the undisguised sense of exploration has made He Angelica very uncomfortable.
The banquet was set up for a loose table, with a pineapple wood low table in front of each person, with wine, dishes and various melons and fruits, for their own use, and a maid pouring wine stood behind them.
He Angelica picked up the wine at hand and took a sip, and found that it was cold, so she couldn't get used to it and put it down. Looking at the dishes on the table, the appearance is bright and chic, and she can't help but pick up a crystal stewed duck to taste. Before the duck meat could enter her mouth, the maid behind her came up to pour wine and slammed her duck meat off.
"Oh, the county lord forgives the sin, the slave didn't mean it!" The maid apologized in a panic and grabbed the piece of duck meat with a handkerchief.
He Angelica frowned and asked in a low voice, "What's your name?" Put your head up. ”
When the maid heard this, she buried her head lower, revealing only the pink skin on the back of her neck, He Angelica looked at it silently, and suddenly reached out to clasp her chin, and the maid shrank back, avoiding her hand.
The hall was full of people, and what happened in this corner was not conspicuous, but Zhu Yunwen seemed to be paying attention to He Angelica all the time, so when he saw the situation here, he immediately asked: "Is the county lord okay?" Could it be that the subordinates are not well served? ”
As soon as Zhu Yunwen asked, everyone in the hall immediately looked over, and saw the scene of the maid kneeling on the ground, and He Angelica reaching out to grab her. He Angelica raised his head and smiled, and replied: "Thank you Your Highness for your care, there is nothing wrong here, but the maid fell down, and I was about to help her up." ”
The maid grabbed He Angelica's hand very cooperatively and stood up, silently retreated to the back, this little episode calmed down, and everyone began to raise their glasses again, praising His Royal Highness the eldest grandson for his appearance of the sun and the moon, and the appearance of the dragon and phoenix.
Others drank pear blossom white, but Luo Maitong cupped chestnut fruit wine, sweet as water, not intoxicating, but after three cups, his face was dyed red.
"Thanks to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, the old man should do his best to live up to His Royal Highness's ardent filial piety." Luo Mai turned his head, glanced at He Angelica, shook his beard and said, "I have heard that the county lord's acupuncture technique is exquisite, and the old and decrepit disciples have received eight disciples, and their talents are not high, and I have known that there is such a dexterous little girl as the county lord at home, and the old Sanqing acupuncture method will not be lost." ”
Zhu Yunwen asked in surprise, "What?" Isn't the medical skills of the county lord of Qingning inherited from the old doctor Luo? ”
Luo Maitong shook his head and said with emotion: "If the old disciple has the three leaders of the county lord, the old man doesn't have to struggle to go to Beijing. The Luo family's talents are withering, and in another hundred years, I am afraid that many stunts will be completely lost! ”
Zhu Yunwen's expression froze, and he squinted and said: "The old doctor is too modest, then again, this palace is worried about the emperor's grandfather's condition, and he is eager to urge the old doctor to go on the road, so I really have to make a compensatory to you." ”
Luo Chuanbai heard Zhu Yunwen's tone was not good, raised his glass and said: "Your Royal Highness's filial piety is obvious to all, grandfather, third brother, let's raise a glass together to wish the Holy Body a new one as soon as possible!" ”
As soon as he finished toasting, the eunuch in the palace came to report that the saint was unconscious again, and the hospital was helpless, and the concubine Niangniang ordered Doctor Luo to enter the palace immediately. Zhu Yunwen hurriedly asked people to withdraw from the banquet, and arranged for several East Palace doctors to enter the palace with Luo Maitong.
Tea was placed again in the back hall, and Zhu Yunwen called He Angelica, Luo Chuanbai, and Luo Chuanpu over in the name of discussing the emperor's grandfather's condition, and asked them to discuss a suitable prescription.
Luo Chuanbai and Luo Chuanpu both entered the palace with Luo Maitong yesterday, and they had seen Long Yan and the dragon vein, so they had drawn up two recipes in advance and presented them to Zhu Yunwen for a look. Zhu Yunwen pondered for a while after seeing it, and said, "I think the second prescription is better, and it will help the Holy Body more, what do you think, county lord?" ”
He Angelica took the prescription and took a look, the two prescriptions are for the treatment of phlegm, the first prescription is too mild, the second prescription is appropriate, but there are two flavors of medicine against each other, long-term use is no different from chronic poison. Luo Chuanbai and Luo Chuanpu are not laymen, how could they prescribe such a prescription? The Luo family's medical book has a special record of drug restraint, as long as you have read it, you should not make similar mistakes when prescribing prescriptions.
The heart of the doctor's parents, He Danggui pointed out this mistake, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Luo Chuanbai and Luo Chuanpu's hands trembling, and they couldn't even hold the lid of the tea cup. At the same time, the corners of Zhu Yunwen's lips had a strange smile, which was intriguing.
With a twist of thought, she quietly put down the prescription and praised with a smile: "Good prescription, good prescription!" Although I haven't seen the symptoms of the saint, and I am not proficient in prescribing medicine, these two prescriptions are really good, they seem to be old prescriptions that the Luo family has treasured for a long time, good, really good! ”
"Which side does the county lord think the imperial grandfather should use?" Zhu Yun asked persistently.
He Angelica "pondered" and then concluded: "The first one is good, I think it's worth using." Of course, it would be more appropriate if it was left to the hospital for research and then making conclusions. ”
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and denied: "No need! The people in the hospital are useless, if they have real talent and real learning, the emperor's grandfather's illness will not be delayed until today! Come, let's try this pot of the best frozen top oolong, which is a gift in this summer's palace, the color is good, and the taste is thick. ”
He personally carried the pot and poured tea for the three doctors one by one, Luo Chuanbai and Luo Chuanpu were flattered, and they didn't even dare to say it. He Angelica raised his glass elegantly, took a sip with a smile, and praised: "Snow Peak is frozen, it is really a rare good tea." ”
The next moment, her complexion suddenly changed, the white porcelain teacup slipped from her hand, and the person fell to the ground.
