Chapter 57: The Ice Chamber
Xiang Ju'an entered the mansion in the capital, and the doctor in the mansion was already waiting, just waiting for Xiang Ju'an to conduct a full-body examination as soon as he entered the door.
Fortunately, the red pen used in the painting puppet was not quenched with some poison that was difficult to crack, and the doctor recognized at a glance that it was the venom extracted from ordinary poisonous plants, and then mixed with spicy powder.
Jiang Yingnian exclaimed: "Spicy powder? No wonder it's so hot and painful, they're really poisonous! β
After Xiang Ju'an took the medicine and lay down, Jiang Yingnian couldn't sit still in this mansion, so he pulled Guan Jiyu out of the gate together, saying that he was going to go around the street to see if there was anything to eat.
The two of them walked around the street for a long time and didn't find anything particularly delicious, so they simply asked for a bowl of fried noodles at a roadside noodle stall to eat.
"The things I eat in the barracks every day make my mouth numb." Jiang Yingnian took a big sip of noodles and said, "It's still refreshing to take this mouthful." β
The person who came to buy noodles behind him said: "It's rare to have a good bite today, it's better to go to the Six Princes' Mansion and sit down, and it's better to eat together than to eat by yourself." β
The people who spoke, Jiang Yingnian and Guan Jiyu, had met, and it was the little maid in the Sixth Prince's Mansion who stopped them outside the palace gate last time.
Jiang Yingnian frowned and said, "Is there such a coincidence?" How can I meet you every time I come to the capital? β
The little girl smiled and said: "Childe, I really came to buy some noodles for the prince to bring back, do you say there are any delicacies in the palace?" But he's just going to want to eat it today. β
"What are you doing around so many bends? Just go, go. β
Jiang Yingnian saw him beat around the bush like this, and knew in his heart that King Ying should have heard the news of their return to Beijing, so he came to invite them to sit in the house.
Guan Jiyu said: "Is your prince in better health?" β
After all, they are relatives of the emperor and the country, and there should still be greetings.
The little maid said: "The girl is polite, the prince is looking forward to your passing, he is so sick that he is bored, if someone talks to him, it will be much better." β
Guan Jiyu's mind reappeared that pale and handsome face, obviously it was a man's body, but there was always a sense of brokenness on his face.
Probably a poor man.
The two of them didn't finish eating the noodles, and the little girl asked for two more servings, and let them go to the palace to continue eating.
When I arrived at the Liuwang Mansion, King Ying was the only one sitting at the table in the huge dining room, and there were more than 20 dishes of all kinds of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him.
The plate in front of King Ying was empty, and it looked like the chopsticks hadn't moved. Xia Ming Zhong held the nullah knife with no emotion on his face, and stood quietly behind him.
"It's great, it's been a long time since I've had so many people to eat with." When King Ying saw the two of them enter the door, his pale face rarely had some energy, and he beckoned, "Sit, sit down." β
So many people ......?
When Guan Jiyu heard this, he glanced at Jiang Yingnian in surprise.
Jiang Yingnian said with a smile: "If the prince wants to invite us to dinner, just say it directly, then you still need to find someone to catch us at the noodle stall." β
King Ying seemed to like to listen to Jiang Yingnian's speech, and every time he opened his mouth, a very interested look appeared on King Ying's face.
King Ying said: "If you catch it, you can catch it, if you are not hungry, I can't catch you." β
Jiang Yingnian pulled Guan Jiyu to sit down generously, and when he sat down, he didn't forget to ask Xia Mingzhong, who was standing on the side: "Won't Brother Xia eat together?" β
The corners of Xia Mingzhong's mouth moved slightly, and he refused: "No need, I've eaten it." β
King Ying was used to his appearance, and said helplessly: "Look, Jiang Xiaogongzi, in addition to the people in the family, just me and him, you can tell me, who else can accompany me to eat?" β
The little guy who bought the noodles just now had already put the noodles in a bowl and presented them to each of them.
King Ying picked up a pair of chopsticks and tasted it carefully: "It's really good, I didn't expect the things outside to be so delicious." He wiped his mouth and asked again: "You are in the Nanqin area, and you don't know if you are used to eating things in the capital?" β
"It's not that delicate." Jiang Yingnian took a big gulp of chopstick noodles and said, "No matter how you say it, it's much better than in the barracks, I just wanted to eat two bites of sweet zongzi, but I didn't find it after turning around several times." β
"Sweet dumplings?" King Ying said: "If you want to eat, I will ask the kitchen to make it." β
Jiang Yingnian. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m (More exciting on the next page!) )
Without prevarication, he turned to Guan Jiyu and said, "When it is your birthday, we will go back to Nanqin to eat." β
Guan Jiyu's face turned crimson, and he said, "Eat quickly, what are you doing here." β
When King Ying heard this, he asked, "What is Miss Guan's birthday?" β
Guan Jiyu replied: "In May, the day of the Dragon Boat Festival is. β
"Dragon Boat Festival ......" King Ying silently recited and said: "The Dragon Boat Festival is a good day, I heard that the Dragon Boat Festival is heavy, and my daughter's family was born in the Dragon Boat Festival, which is very good." \./Hand\./Machine\./Version\./None\./Error\./First\./Hair~~"
Guan Jiyu had never heard of this kind of statement, and he just wanted to laugh when he heard it, so he said, "Do you still know this?" That Jiang Yingnian is the birthday of the Midyear Festival, isn't that the heaviest yin? How to explain that a man was born on the Midyear Festival? β
An imperceptible subtle expression quickly flashed on King Ying's face, and he quickly turned his head to look at Xia Mingzhong, who also looked back at him. Neither said anything.
Jiang Yingnian didn't pay attention when he reached out to pick up the vegetables, and pulled the gauze on his back, the wound had not healed, and the pain made him grin for a while.
"Be careful." Guan Jiyu reminded: "Don't let the wound crack again. β
King Ying carefully captured this sentence, and asked, "But the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, so did Jiang Xiaogongzi get injured?" β
As he spoke, he personally grabbed a chopstick dish, leaned over to his side with his wheelchair, and put it in Jiang Yingnian's bowl.
Jiang Yingnian said truthfully: "Yes, it was nothing to suffer a little flesh wound, but this wound was covered with poison and caustic soda, although it was not fatal, it was very abrasive, and it was uncomfortable to make people restless." β
King Ying put down his chopsticks and said, "This is easy to say, there happens to be a good place to heal in my house, why don't you try it?" β
Xia Mingzhong walked over and was about to push his wheelchair and lead Jiang Yingnian and Guan Jiyu to the healing place that King Ying said.
According to King Ying, he has always been weak, so he inquired around about the secret recipe for recuperation, and then established two secret healing places.
The first place was where the few of them had arrived - the ice room.
King Ying said: "Jiang Xiaogongzi has been poisoned, although he has already taken medicine, but you are walking around outside, it is difficult to guarantee that the residual poisonous gas will not spread again." This ice room is the best place to suppress toxicity, you can go in and try it. β
Regardless of whether what King Ying said was true or not, anyway, the burning sensation on Jiang Yingnian's back made him extremely uncomfortable, so it was better to go in and try it first, what if it worked?
Guan Jiyu didn't worry about him going in alone, so he accompanied him into the ice room.
This ice room is located in the basement of the backyard of the palace, and the walls inside are all made of ice, and the cold inside is pressing.
Guan Jiyu is okay, Xu used to sleep in the north heart when she was a child, and it was common to walk barefoot in ice and snow weather, so the cold here was quite bearable for her.
"How?" King Ying asked outside: "My cold ice is the ancient cold ice specially transported back from the northern snow-capped mountains, it is the most yin and cold thing in this world, if you can't stand it, don't hold on, you must come out in time." β
Jiang Yingnian sat in it for a while, and unexpectedly found that the original tormenting burning sensation behind him gradually faded until it disappeared.
He sat for an extra stick of incense, and made sure that there was no burning pain behind him, and then said to Guan Jiyu: "Ah Yu, let's go out." β
Guan Jiyu saw that his expression was fine, so he nodded reassuringly.
Out of the ice room, Jiang Yingnian clasped his fists at King Ying and said, "Thank you for your generous help, borrowing the secret healing place in your mansion, I feel much better at this moment, and the wound is almost no longer felt." β
King Ying nodded, and said with soothing eyebrows: "It's Jiang Xiaogongzi who is in good health, unlike me, who spent so much effort to build it, but he can't bear it." He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I can't stand the cold just by walking in, let alone staying in there for so long." And my warm pavilionβ"
Xia Mingzhong, who had not spoken on the side, interrupted coldly, and said to King Ying: "You have to recuperate, you suddenly said so many words today, and you are tired of shouting again." β
King Ying's face flushed, and he said, "It's rare to have friends come over, and it's okay to say a few more words." β
He turned his head to look at Xia Mingzhong beside him and said, "Them." (More exciting on the next page!) )
I'm a very special friend, it's rare to meet them, shouldn't I talk about that? β
"Whatever you want." Xia Mingzhong regained his silence and stood behind his wheelchair without saying a word.
"Miss Guan is worthy of being the first female master in Xuli, I think your tolerance is even better." King Ying praised Guan Jiyu again.
"The prince praised it falsely." Guan Jiyu said: "It's just that I've been used to cheap skin and cheap meat since I was a child." β
King Ying looked at Xia Mingzhong's face and said, "It's rare for them to come, Nuan Ge always has to show them, right?" You know, where are people coming over on weekdays? β
King Ying said pitifully and humbly, especially with the sick look on his face, which made him even more distressed.
The son of the royal family, no one has lived as pitiful as him. \./Hand\./Machine\./Edition\./None\./Error\./First\./Hair~~
Xia Mingzhong sighed and said, "I said it, whatever you want." He lowered his head and pushed his wheelchair in the direction of the warm pavilion.
Guan Jiyu and Jiang Yingnian also went with him, the warm pavilion is different from the ice room, it is built near the back kitchen, overhead on the ground, like a two-story attic structure, the first floor is full of charcoal fire, maintaining the temperature all year round.
Before you even walk inside, you can feel the scorching temperature just by approaching it.
Jiang Yingnian sighed: "This temperature is similar to the pain caused by that paintbrush, and it burns people's hearts." β
King Ying introduced: "This warm pavilion is used to heal people who have been poisoned by cold. β
Jiang Yingnian didn't know what the cold poison was, but he remembered that when he was camping in Beixin before, Guan Jiyu suffered a lot of wind and cold, and now it is rare to encounter such a good place, and it is always okay to try.
Guan Jiyu also agreed with what he said, and without hesitation, he entered the warm pavilion with Jiang Yingnian, because of Jiang Yingnian's back injury, the two did not stay long, and almost sat in it for half a pillar of incense for a while, and then walked out.
"How?" Seeing the two of them come out, King Ying couldn't wait to ask, "How do you feel?" β
Jiang Yingnian shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't feel anything, you have to ask her if this has any effect." β
Guan Jiyu replied truthfully: "The warm pavilion can indeed slow down the cold stagnation caused by the wind and cold, I used to have cold hands and feet, and I just went in for a while, only to find that my hands and feet were all warm. β
King Ying smiled lightly at the corner of his lips and said, "That's fine, I'm still worried that you won't be able to stand it." β
Because they were thinking about Xiang Ju'an, the two didn't dare to stay outside, and after saying goodbye to King Ying, they went straight to Xiang Ju'an's mansion.
Tranquility returned to the Six Kings' Mansion.
King Ying stretched his waist lazily and said to Xia Mingzhong: "You seem to be very unhappy today, aren't you happy that I will take them to the ice room and the warm pavilion?" β
Xia Mingzhong lowered his eyes and said, "This is your home, and whoever you want to take is your freedom." β
King Ying propped his head, closed his eyes and whispered, "You know I'm not talking about this. βγ
