Chapter 574 - Cold attitude

Xu Xunyi was walking in the imperial garden in a white robe, and Ning Rongzhi was holding a medicine tray in his hand and followed him closely.

Xu Xunyi carefully observed the flowers and plants in this imperial garden, some of them were herbs that he had just planted recently, and the medicine garden in the Tai Hospital was not small, but none of the precious herbs he brought could be planted on that land.

In desperation, he had no choice but to plant all these herbs in the flower beds of the Imperial Garden, fortunately, these flower beds have been carefully cared for by the gardeners, and the soil inside is not known to be buried, and the herbs he needs have survived in them.

This made Xu Xunyi overjoyed, and after asking the emperor for instructions, he transplanted all the precious herbs he brought here.

Xu Xunyi walked to the side of the flower garden, checked the herbs he had just transplanted yesterday, and found that all the vitality seemed to be very vigorous, so he was relieved.

Ning Rongzhi looked at his cautious movements, and said with a smile: "Master, are you really interested in these herbs?" ”

Xu Xunyi smiled warmly and said, "That's natural, these herbs were transplanted from the outside for the teacher, if you don't take good care of them, I'm afraid you won't have that effect when you have to use them." ”

Ning Rongzhi can be regarded as having dealt with these things since he was a child, how could he not understand Xu Xunyi's heart? She glanced at the herbs planted in the flower garden, frowned and said, "But master, this is a place where some concubines come to enjoy the flowers on weekdays, and you plant the herbs here. ”

For example, the herb planted by the master on the left, the flower is very gorgeous, and as far as he knows, the most important effect of that herb seems to be on that flower.

After Ning Rongzhi said this, Xu Xunyi obviously thought of this problem, he frowned, and said with a little sorrow: "But these herbs don't know what's going on, and only this place in the entire palace can feed them?" ”

It is impossible for the emperor to give him a piece of land from the imperial garden, and it is already very good to be able to allow him to plant herbs in the imperial garden.

Ning Rongzhi rarely saw his master's sad face, and immediately smiled and said, "Master, you don't have to be so sad, just find the little eunuch who takes care of the flowerbed here and give instructions." ”

As soon as Xu Xunyi was bright this year, he immediately found the little eunuch who took care of the flower garden and gave an order, and the little eunuch was also a discerning one, and hurriedly agreed when he heard Xu Xunyi's instructions.

After the master and apprentice walked around the imperial garden, they were about to go back to the Tai Hospital, but who expected to meet Shen Huo head-on.

When Shen Huo passed by the Imperial Garden, he saw Ning Rongzhi and Xu Xunyi standing next to a flower garden from a distance, talking and laughing.

So, he walked over, Xu Xunyi and Ning Rongzhi saw Shen Huo and hurriedly leaned over and saluted.

"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Shen Huo raised his hand and said with a smile: "Hurry up and calm down!" Only then did the two of them stand up according to their words, Ning Rongzhi quietly looked at Shen Huo through Xu Xunyi, she had heard of this person, the current His Royal Highness the Prince, Du Qinyue had shown her a portrait, and she also knew that this person loved herself wholeheartedly.

However, Ning Rongzhi knew that he knew, but at this time, there was no wave in his heart. Xu Xunyi saw Shen Huo and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, why do you have time to come to the Imperial Garden today?" ”

After all, at this time in the past, Shen Huo was in the imperial study, helping the emperor to review and review the folds together. Shen Huo smiled heartily when he heard this, and said: "Today, my father intends to let the palace rest, so I released people early, and when I passed by the imperial garden, I found that the two of you were here, so I walked over." ”

Xu Xunyi nodded, Shen Huo saw the dirt on the soles of Xu Xunyi's shoes, and said with a slight difference: "Xu Yuanju, there is no muddy place in this palace, why are your shoes covered with mud?" ”

Xu Xunyi looked down, and then said with a smile: "I just went to the flower garden to check on the two herbs I transplanted yesterday, so I accidentally got some of them." ”

Shen Huo actually asked so casually, Xu Xunyi answered seriously, and he nodded. Then he looked at Ning Rongzhi who was standing behind Xu Xunyi, and a touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes, "I haven't seen you for many days, how is Miss Ning lately?" ”

Originally, Shen Huo wanted to call Rongzhi directly, but there were people coming and going in the imperial garden, and doing so would hinder Ning Rongzhi's reputation.

Therefore, I opened my mouth and called Miss Ning. Ning Rongzhi heard him ask himself, and out of politeness, he stood up from behind Xu Xunyi, and saluted: "Thank you Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your concern, the slave is very good." ”

Such an official answer and indifferent attitude made Shen Huo slightly surprised. Xu Xunyi, who was standing on the side, heard her say this, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In the past, when Ning Rongzhi saw Shen Huo, his face was always filled with a kind smile, and it was really rare to have such a calm appearance as today.

Shen Huo frowned and asked again, "Miss Ning is not feeling well?" "Otherwise, how can you talk to yourself?

Ning Rongzhi remembered the words that Du Qinyue had told him, shook his head, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too worried, the slave maid is in good health and has no symptoms?" ”

It seems that this prince still really liked himself before! Ning Rongzhi thought so in his heart, but the expression on his face was indeed as calm as ever.

When Shen Huo heard her say this, the difference in his heart was even worse, the two of them talked together, Ning Rongzhi had always been casual, and in private, he would never call himself a slave or anything. What's wrong with this today, how can I be so polite.

At this moment, even Xu Xunyi found something unusual. He turned his head and glanced at Ning Rongzhi who was standing behind him.

Ning Rongzhi gave her a "how" look, Xu Xunyi turned his head, and said to Shen Huo a little far-fetched: "I still want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to be surprised, Rongzhi is dispensing medicine in the pharmacy of the Tai Hospital every day and night, so it is inevitable that he will be a little unhealthy during the day, so he will lose his temper." ”

Ning Rongzhi heard Xu Xunyi say this, although she didn't feel that she was wrong at all, she still knelt down and saluted: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me, the slave maid did not mean it." ”

Shen Huo was really taken aback at this moment, and hurriedly reached out to help her up. "Between you and me, how can you be so polite." As soon as these words came out, a touch of embarrassment flashed on the faces of the three people present.

Shen Huo also realized the inappropriateness of his words, and coughed lightly, and then said: "Miss Ning is diligent, and asked the crown princess of this palace to work hard, how can this palace blame you for this mistake." ”

When Ning Rongzhi heard him say this, she lowered her head, and a sneer flashed at the corner of her mouth, she was diligent, not for He Zhi's illness, but to send her to the west as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for forgiving your sins." Shen Huo waved his hand, like Xu Xunyi asked, "The crown princess's body has been a little better recently, but her daily spirit is still low, is this because of ......... for the sake of it. ”

Although Shen Huo didn't say the words in the middle, the three people present all knew it in their hearts. Xu Xunyi frowned rarely, and said, "I thought that the poison was lifted by the crown princess, and the remaining poison has been cleared in recent days, so I don't think it's because of it." ”

Shen Huo frowned, thinking that in the past few days, his spirit was obviously not as good as before, and asked, "So what?" ”

Xu Xunyi thought for a while, and then said: "Xu is the crown princess has just recovered from a serious illness, and her body is a little weak, so her spirit is so poor. ”

Seeing this, Shen Huo hurriedly said: "Then I will bother Xu Yuan's judgment, prescribe a few more medicines for Ayi, and wish her a good body as soon as possible." ”

Xu Xunyi nodded. Ning Rongzhi, who was following him, heard the conversation between the two of them, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile without a trace.

This is what Du Qinyue called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? In her opinion, the most important person in the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should still be in the East Palace, and they are the crown princess.

Thinking of He Zhiyi, Ning Rongzhi's eyes were uncontrollable, bursting with a strong hatred. It was the same woman who, because of a small mistake, slaughtered her own family. She won't let her go!

Just when Ning Rongzhi was thinking like this in his heart, he suddenly heard Xu Xunyi say: "Apprentice, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you, why didn't you answer?" ”

Ning Rongzhi was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness, just now the slave remembered a prescription that was being configured in the Tai Hospital, and there was some faint inspiration in his mind, so he was a little distracted for a while, and asked His Royal Highness to forgive his sins." ”

In one sentence, he said forgiveness twice, Shen Huo saw her like this, and the weirdness in his heart was even stronger, he carefully looked at Ning Rongzhi's appearance, and after confirming that there was no problem, he smiled heartily: "This matter is none of your business, it is the palace that is abrupt." ”

Ning Rongzhi raised his head and said with a coquettish smile: "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked just now?" Shen Huo saw her as delicate smile as ever, and the last trace of doubt in his heart was not dispelled.

"It's okay, I just suddenly had a question I wanted to ask you, and I can't remember it now." When Xu Xunyi heard Shen Huo say this, a touch of weirdness flashed on his face.

He naturally saw that Shen Huo's words were actually just testing Ning Rongzhi. However, what he didn't understand was, why did Shen Huo do this?

When he thought of this just now, Xu Xunyi suddenly remembered that there was some strange conversation between Shen Huo and Ning Rongzhi just now.

For a moment, my heart became clear. However, when he remembered Ning Rongzhi's words, he always had an indescribable weirdness in his heart.

Chapter 575: Asking and Solving Doubts

However, he didn't ask anything more, after all, this matter was a private matter between the two of them, even if he was Ning Rongzhi's master, these things could not be easily asked, let alone in this public.

Just as Shen Huo was about to speak again, a little eunuch suddenly ran over from the side, and Shen Huo frowned when he saw him, obviously knowing this little eunuch.

And the little eunuch really lived up to expectations, and after looking around, he ran towards Shen Huo. When he looked at Xu Xunyi and Ning Rongzhi who were standing beside him, nodded at them, and then walked to the side.

The little eunuch attached to his ear, as if he had said something, only to see Shen Huo's face become very serious, and after a while, he came back to say goodbye to the two.

"Did my father send someone to me, saying that he had something important to discuss, and I said goodbye first?" Xu Xunyi listened to this, nodded and said: "Your Highness, although state affairs are important, but the body is the capital of the revolution, you have been a little too careless about rest recently." ”

This is completely from the perspective of a courtier. When he was talking to Shen Huo just now, he noticed the blue and black under his eyes.

Thinking about today's accident with the crown princess, the emperor's body is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the ministers are almost all working alone.

Therefore, it is inevitable to work harder. Shen Huo heard Xu Xunyi's instructions, and said with a faint smile: "There is Lao Xu Yuan's judgment and concern, the body of this palace, this palace itself knows in his heart, and there is no big problem, it's just that there is some lack of sleep today." ”

Xu Xunyi heard his words and nodded. Shen Huo didn't talk much nonsense, so he went to the imperial study with the little eunuch.

After Shen Huo left, Xu Xunyi looked at Ning Rongzhi beside him a little strangely. Ning Rongzhi looked at his puzzled gaze and asked puzzledly, "Master, do you have something to ask the apprentice?" ”

Xu Xunyi heard him say this, and was just about to ask, but he noticed the palace maids and eunuchs around him, and stopped again.

"It's okay, since the herbs have been finished, let's go back to the hospital safely!" When Ning Rongzhi heard him say this, he had no objection, and followed him directly back to the hospital.

And Shen Huo followed the little eunuch to the imperial study, and after the grandfather Hai who was standing at the door, after making a report, Shen Huo walked into the imperial study.

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair in the imperial study, and a faint sandalwood was spit out from the mouth of the unicorn pupil crystal beast. Shen Huo first saluted, and then said, "I don't know if my father is in a hurry to announce that his son is coming, what is the matter?" ”

When the emperor heard this, his eyelids raised, and then he took out a book of folds from the table, and when Gonggong Hai saw this, he hurriedly took the folds from the emperor's hand and handed them to Shen Huo who was standing below.

Shen Huo glanced at the emperor suspiciously, then took the fold from Gonggong Hai's hand, opened it and roughly browsed it, and the green tendons on his forehead had already flared up.

"These ministers are really tired of being alive, and they dare to write about this kind of topic in the folds."

Then what is written here is nothing else, but some humerus ministers, proposing to let the emperor abdicate and become the emperor, and Shen Huo to inherit the throne.

Now the emperor's body is not as healthy as before, but if the imperial doctor takes care of it, it will not be a big deal. It is really a great rebellion for those ministers to make such a statement. No wonder Shen Huo was so angry.

And the emperor, who was originally sitting there steadily, heard him say this, and his eyes regained some brilliance, and his own body, he also knew it in his heart.

The idea of abdication is not unthinkable, but the emperor thinks about it in his heart. It is another matter for the ministers to say it themselves.

Shen Huo looked at his father's unwavering eyes, and said angrily: "Father, such courtiers should be pulled out and beheaded for public display. ”

The emperor shook his head slowly and said, "The Dingguo Mansion is deeply rooted, and it is not something you can move now." The implication is that even if Dingguo Gong said such a rebellious thing, he can't be moved now.

When Shen Huo heard the emperor say this, he suddenly calmed down. "According to my father's words, what should I do about this?"

The emperor's cloudy eyes slowly looked at Gonggong Hai on the side, and when Gonggong Hai came into contact with the emperor's gaze, he was immediately stunned, and then ran out with a crawl.

After that, the emperor and Shen Huo stayed in the imperial study for half an hour, during which they didn't know what the father and son said, but the palace people who waited at the door of the imperial study said that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out of the imperial dining room, there was no trace of decadence on his face.

Thinking about it, the emperor was not angry. After Shen Huo walked out of the imperial study, he strode towards the Ministry of Industry.........

In the Tai Hospital, Xu Xunyi took Ning Rongzhi into the pharmacy in the backyard together, and after Xu Xunyi went to the basin on the side to clean his hands, he took out several medicinal materials from the medicine box behind him.

Ning Rongzhi looked at his actions and asked with a little puzzlement: "Master, didn't you say that you would prepare a medicine for the crown princess after you came back?" "But how can you grind the medicine yourself now?

Xu Xunyi listened to this, put down the tools in his hand, looked at Ning Rongzhi, who was standing in front of him with a puzzled expression, hesitated slightly, and asked, "Apprentice, have you had a conflict with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently?" ”

Ning Rongzhi shook his head in confusion when he heard his master ask, "No, why would the master ask like this?" "As the prince of a country, how could Shen Huo have a conflict with him?

Even at that time, Du Qinyue told himself again and again that the prince liked him in his heart, and when dealing with He Suyi, he could use the prince's good impression of him to stimulate him.

But in Ning Rongzhi's heart, he was not very familiar with the prince, so when facing the prince, he always looked very cold.

Xu Xunyi looked at him like this, it didn't look like he was lying, but the girl who was suddenly very enthusiastic in the past became so cold, which still made Xu Xunyi very puzzled.

After thinking about it again, he said softly: "Could it be that you quarreled with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Ning Rongzhi was even more puzzled by this question, she shook her head again, and said to Xu Xunyi: "No." ”

Xu Xunyi saw her serious appearance, and in desperation, he had no choice but to ask: "In that case, why are you so cold when facing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today?" ”

This really doesn't look like you used to be! When Ning Rongzhi heard him say this, he was taken aback at the moment. also knew that he had just revealed some flaws, looking at Xu Xunyi's puzzled gaze, Ning Rongzhi had no choice but to pretend to be sleepy and said, "Master, the apprentice has been busy researching medicinal herbs for the past few days, so he has a little sleep deprivation. ”

This answer is similar to the reason why Xu Xunyi exonerated Shen Huo in front of her. When Xu Xunyi heard her say this, he naturally felt that her reaction was just because of her lack of energy.

immediately smiled and patted her head and said, "Since this is the case, then you can have a good rest." ”

Ning Rongzhi was a little flattered when he heard him say this: "Master, how can this be, these things should have been done by me, how dare I bother you to do it yourself, master." ”

When Xu Xunyi heard him say this, he immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, there is nothing big in the Tai Hospital today, you have worked hard for many days, it is better to rest early!" ”

Seeing him so sincere, Ning Rongzhi nodded and walked towards his residence. During this period, all the doctors and women in the Tai Hospital greeted her.

After Du Qinyue's reminder, Ning Rongzhi also knew what these medical girls were for, so they all smiled and went back one by one, without revealing too many flaws.

It wasn't until he returned to the house where he lived that Ning Rongzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was hiding his flaws without revealing any traces, but who expected that he would expose his flaws in front of others early.

Ning Rongzhi slowly walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and then said in a firm tone: "It seems that you will have to be more careful in the future." ”

After drinking a cup of tea, Ning Rongzhi lay on the bed and sorted out his thoughts. Although today's events are a little flawed in disguise, according to Du Qinyue, in the future, he will have a lot of time with Shen Huo and the others.

When the time comes, it will be enough to make up for this loophole, as for his master, Ning Rongzhi thought of Xu Xunyi, who was standing spotlessly in the Tai Hospital, and a smile slowly rose on his face.

Then he lay down on the bed and gradually fell asleep. The reason he just said is not actually a prevarication. After all, in the past few days, every day he has been trying to poison He Suoyi.

And beside He Suoyi, there were a large number of palace maids waiting, and outside the house, all of them were guards who were guarding against death, as well as those hidden in the shadows and could not be seen.

Therefore, every time Ning Rongzhi did this, she was terrified, but in her mind, her family members who were killed by He Zhiyi expelled her, and again and again, she was perfectly poisoned.

The cat in He Suoyi's hand has now been stained with medicinal powder by her, as long as she holds the cat every day, then one day she will die of poison.

And she can avenge her loved ones......... Ning Rongzhi thought so, and gradually sank into sleep.

And Xu Xunyi, who was in his hospital, looked at the medicinal materials in his hand and was staring at him. Recently, Ning Rongzhi's mood has been very uneasy.

Even several times, when he taught her to dispense medicine, she was also in a state of disgrace. This appearance made Xu Xunyi really surprised.

You must know that in the past, when Ning Rongzhi was learning this, he was always serious. In recent days, this unusual behavior has really attracted some attention.

And today in the Imperial Garden, her attitude towards Shen Huo is even more cold and frightening. And when he came back and asked her why, when Xu Xunyi thought of this, a ghostly light flashed in his eyes.

If he was not mistaken, when he asked the first sentence, the first thing that crossed Ning Rongzhi's eyes was......... Alarmed.
