Chapter 196: Long Illness Without Favor
Shengjing City, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
"Whoa!" Meng Tianjue's bright yellow sleeves waved over, and a large stack of folds was thrown to the ground with a brain, and even the inkstone pen and ink on the table were not spared, black ink splashed everywhere, and the entire imperial study was suddenly in a mess.
Commander Yu Lin Wei bowed his head and knelt on the ground, a few drops of ink splashed on his face, his pupils shrank slightly, but his body remained unmoved.
"Where's the treasure map?" Meng Tianjue stood behind his desk, his cold voice as if coming from hell.
The leader of Yu Lin Wei lowered his head, "I am incompetent, and I haven't discovered it yet." ”
"Waste, all of them are waste!" Meng Tianjue's eyes were torn when he heard this, and he almost turned his back on it.
He had buried the line of Mohan Mountain and Shadowless Gate for so long, and now it was the time to play its most critical role, but who knew that it was wiped out by Meng Yuanheng, and even the most important treasure map was very likely to fall into his hands.
For the sake of this treasure of the former dynasty Gaozu, he spent a lot of effort and did a lot of things, but in the end, he was taken advantage of by his sworn enemy. If the treasure map and Mozi Ling were obtained by Meng Yuanheng at the same time, then the treasure of Gaozu would be at his fingertips. As soon as he thought of this, Meng Tianyu was mad with anger.
Pacing back and forth in the study like a headless fly, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he reached out and grabbed a white jade vase next to him and smashed it on the leader of Yulin Wei who was kneeling below.
"Bang dang!" The vase smashed into the ground in front of him, splitting and some pieces flying. Falling on him, fortunately there was a thin soft armor on his chest, otherwise it would be difficult to protect himself from being cut by these sharp fragments.
"I am incompetent, please forgive your majesty."
Meng Tianjue's eyes were almost bursting with fire, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you know that you are incompetent, get out and find it!" I must get the treasure map, and the Mozi Order, if you can't do it, don't come back to see me! ”
"Yes, obedience." Yu Linwei quickly retreated after receiving the order, but he was complaining in his heart.
The treasure map and Mozi Ling are probably in the hands of King Xuan, but it is not easy to snatch something from King Xuan!
Alas, now there is only one step at a time, let's get past the current level first.
Meng Tianjue stood behind the messy desk, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were full of anger, and his originally fair face became iron-blue.
Meng Yuanheng! Damn, why are you so lucky every time!!
"Someone!" He slapped his palm on the desk, and the few remaining books on the table shook him.
"The slave is here, what does the emperor command?" Wei Fang, the eunuch who was with him, hurriedly ran in from outside the door, bent down at him and bowed his head in response.
Meng Tianjue flicked his sleeve robe and sat down on the chair, his fair and feminine face regained some calmness slightly, but his eyes were still gloomy and scary, Wei Fang bowed his body, and he didn't even dare to come out.
Since Meng Tianjue ascended the throne, Li Yuan, the imperial attendant eunuch who had been serving Emperor Mingde closely, was transferred elsewhere, and Wei Fang finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish and was promoted from the chief eunuch of the Huagai Hall to the close eunuch.
It stands to reason that it is a gratifying thing to have the opportunity to serve the Imperial Front, and he has always thought so. But after serving in front of the emperor for a period of time, he finally deeply realized what it means to "accompany the king like a tiger", coupled with Meng Tianjue's moody and terrifying temperament, now Wei Fang really wants to cry without tears, regretting not being at the beginning.
Just as Wei Fang bowed his head and was worried in his heart, Meng Tianjue's gloomy voice finally came. "Wei Fang, where does the newly canonized Ning Cai live now?"
Wei Fang hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, Ning Cairen originally lived in the Yongfu Palace of Duanfei Niangniang, but unfortunately he fell ill within a few days, Duanfei Niangniang didn't like it, and the imperial doctor also said that he needed to recuperate, so the slave arranged Ning Cairen to live in Qingning Hall temporarily. ”
"Sick?" Meng Tianjue's eyebrows tightened, "What disease?" ”
"Back to the emperor, according to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, Ning Cairen was accidentally infected with wind and cold a few days ago, which induced palpitations, and the slave went to Qingning Hall to see it, Ning Cairen did look very weak and weak."
"Heart palpitations?" Meng Tianjue snorted coldly, "I heard that she once followed her father to practice martial arts, fought in battles, and was in good health, why did she suffer from heart palpitations when she entered the palace?" ”
Hearing that there was obviously doubt in Meng Tianjue's words, Wei Fang's heart trembled, for fear that he would be crazy on the spot again, so he hurriedly said: "What the emperor said is reasonable, and the servant immediately went to ask the imperial doctor to take a good look at Ning Cairen." ”
Wei Fang knew that the emperor suspected that Ning Cairen was deliberately pretending to be sick, but he was deeply unimpressed. That day, he had seen Ning Cairen sick and weak in bed, not like he was pretending. And under the noses of so many imperial doctors in the palace, Ning Cairen shouldn't be able to pretend to be fake.
"No need." Meng Tianjue said coldly: "Set up the Qingning Palace." ”
He wants to see what kind of tricks this Ning Hou's daughter is doing!
Qingning Hall is located in the middle of nowhere, the environment is quiet, and there are few people in and out of ordinary times, and it is almost a forgotten corner in the harem of the Dasheng Dynasty. It seems that Wei Fang has indeed arranged a good place for Ning Yu to recuperate.
Because it is uninhabited all year round, the layout of the palace is also very simple, and there is a unique smell of mud and not staining in the beautiful palace.
There was a faint smell of medicine in the small courtyard, and a fair-eyed maid was coming out of the kitchen with a tray in her hand, and a bowl of thick black medicinal juice was placed in the tray. That's where the smell of medicine comes from.
The maid had not taken a few steps along the corridor, and another maid hurried in outside the courtyard gate, a little younger and with more agile eyebrows, but her little face was full of indignation.
The maid holding the tray saw her looking angry, she couldn't help but chuckle a little, and asked out loud: "What's the matter, Nian Xia, who made you angry?" ”
Nian Xia pouted and said angrily: "It's not the guys in the Internal Affairs Mansion who look down on people, since Miss moved out of Yongfu Palace to this Qingning Palace, those people haven't given us a good look, and they usually don't talk about food and clothing, but now it's getting more and more excessive!" Sister Huichun, look," she opened a purse in her hand, "they even have to deduct the moon silver, you say it's not angry!" ”
Huichun glanced at it, the amount of silver in the purse was indeed much less than the monthly case that her young lady deserved, and she couldn't help but curse secretly in her heart, but how old is she, and her temperament is calmer, seeing that Nian Xia is still complaining over there, she persuaded and said: "Okay, why be angry with those little people, be quiet, don't let the young lady hear it, otherwise she should be sad again." ”
Nian Xia was busy silencing, playfully sticking out her tongue, and seeing that Huichun was carrying a medicine bowl to deliver medicine to Miss, she didn't say anything more, and Gu Zi was busy.
With the medicine in hand, Huichun walked through a small garden and walked up a few steps into the room. The curtain on the bed hung so low that it was impossible to distinguish the face of the man lying in the bed.
Placing the tray on the table next to the bed, she lifted the curtain and whispered to the person on the bed, "Miss, it's time to take medicine." ”
The woman on the bed, with a pretty face, outstanding appearance, with three points of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes, has an innate temperament of everyone's ladies, it is the eldest lady of Ninghou Mansion, today's Ning Cairen, Ning Wu.
With Huichun's support, Ning Wu slowly sat up and leaned against the head of the bed. Xu is because the wind and cold have not healed, and her qi is weak and weak, and her fair face still has an unhealthy faint flush, which makes her look a little more delicate and moving than usual.
"You all go down, I'll serve here." Huichun said to several other people in the room.
"Yes." The people exited the door in response.
There was no one else in the room. Ning Wu coughed lightly and said to Hui Chun: "I heard Nian Xia yelling outside just now, did those people in the Internal Affairs Office make you angry again?" ”
"Miss don't bother with these inconsequential matters." As he spoke, Huichun turned around and poured all the medicinal juice in the medicine bowl into the bonsai next to him, "Even if we don't have those pieces of moonsilver, we can still live well." ”
Before entering the palace, she knew that the young lady had already made such a decision, so she had long expected that their master and servant would not have a good time in the palace.
Ning Wu sighed lightly, "It's just that I wronged you two......"
It's okay that Nian Xia doesn't know the inside story, but the girl Huichun knows what kind of plan she entered the palace, but she still follows her without hesitation and never abandons.
"Miss, what nonsense are you talking about!" Huichun packed up the medicine bowl, straightened Ning Wu into a reclining posture, looked at her weak and powerless appearance, and said worriedly: "The slave is just worried about whether the medicine sent by Yun Gongzi will be harmful to Miss's body?" ”
"No, it won't." Ning Wu shook her head, "This medicine is formulated by Qianmo, I believe she won't harm me." ”
Qianmo had already explained in the letter that this medicine would make her qi and blood weak, like the symptoms of heart palpitations, but when the medicine has taken effect, the symptoms will disappear immediately, and it will not cause harm to the body.
Only by letting the imperial doctor confirm that he did suffer from heart palpitations at the beginning, it would be much more credible to pretend to have a seizure in the future. As long as she uses this as an excuse to stay on the sickbed, she can naturally be sick for a long time without favor and live a quiet life.
Princess Xuan's character and medical skills are naturally trustworthy, and when she heard her own young lady say this, she was also relieved. was thinking of waiting for Ning Yu to freshen up a little, but Nian Xia hurriedly ran into the room at this time, and shouted with joy: "Miss, Miss, the emperor has come to Qingning Palace!" ”
