Chapter 169: Back to the Palace
Mu Xiang lifted the curtain, revealing Ruan Yuyi's figure inside, and she slept peacefully. Mu Xiang's hand paused, and suddenly stopped her voice - she didn't dare to call anymore, she was afraid that she wouldn't get a response.
In winter, the charcoal fire burns too much, so people who die in their sleep are not alone. But she knew that the young lady would be fine.
She stabilized her mind and ordered the little palace maid on the side to invite Imperial Doctor Ning.
Xiao Gongwen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly left.
Mu Xiang wiped her eyes fiercely, got up, and said softly, "Little master, the slave maid will prepare things for you to freshen up." She walked a few steps slowly, her face was as usual, but the trembling of her fingertips revealed her state of mind.
Suddenly, there were a few faint coughs behind him, "Mu Xiang, wait for me to change my clothes first." ”
Mu Xiang's feet froze, turned around, her eyes were red, "Miss-" She called Qi Qiran, Ruan Yuyi's heart tightened slightly, stood up, and hugged her.
"What's the matter, what are you crying about early in the morning," Ruan Yuyi said softly, without saying a word, she frowned and held her head, and gasped gently, "I have a headache today." ”
There was a sudden pain in her head, as if something was stirring in it.
Mu Xiang blamed himself for being more cranky than Mu Ling, and secretly took a sip of himself. She straightened her face and said busily, "Imperial Doctor Ning will come in a moment, and the little master will lie down for a while." ”
"Go close the windows." She ducked into the brocade.
Mu Xiang did not do as she was told, but knelt down and bowed her head, her tone resolute, "Please punish Miss, the slave didn't notice it for a while, the charcoal fire burned too much yesterday, and the ventilation was not enough-" Before she could say anything, she suddenly paused.
No, she clearly remembered that she had reduced the charcoal fire before going out.
Ruan Yuyi leaned out and helped her, "I know you're used to being careful." Did anyone else come in yesterday? ”
Mu Xiang raised her eyelids, her eyes moved, and she quickly got up to check the window of the inner room. She looked repeatedly, but found no traces of prying, she looked back and shook her head at Ruan Yuyi.
"Outside."
The hall is separated from the inner room by a soft curtain, so there is no need for inspection. Mu Xiang really found an inexplicable scratch on the door outside, as if a slender object such as a hairpin reached in and picked up the traces of the door shaft.
With a calm face, she lowered her head and walked into the inner room, telling Ruan Yuyi about the matter.
After hearing this, she was silent for a few moments, "Tell Your Majesty about this." "It's most appropriate for him to deal with it directly, firstly, she does not need to bother with effort, and secondly, she wants to find out the person behind it, which is more economical than herself.
"Your Majesty returned to the palace yesterday," Mu Xiang paused, "Miss, something happened to Concubine Shuniang." ”
She was stunned and asked urgently, "What do you mean?" "Concubine Shu is in a high position, holding great power, and her mother is from the Zhong Ding family, she can't be shaken easily, what can happen, and who dares to harm her?
Thinking like this, her heart sank. No one else can touch the concubine - what if it is him?
Mu Xiang summoned the little palace maid beside Concubine Shu in. The little palace maid had already wiped away her tears at this time, looked decent, bowed down and kowtowed, "The slave maid has seen the little master, please save our mother!" ”
She will go along with what Mu Xiang has said.
Ruan Yuyi listened, and the plain hand on the brocade became tighter and tighter, and her fingertips turned white. She said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to the palace too." She lifted the quilt, poked out a pair of feet as white as jade, and was about to stay.
When Fang touched the ground, he felt a darkness in front of him, and the surroundings were quiet for a moment. She didn't know whose forearm she had taken it, and it took a moment before she recovered.
Slowly opened her eyes, and Mu Xiang's anxious voice also entered her ears, "Imperial Doctor Ning, come and take a look." "She was covered with a coat.
The man with a clear figure had an indifferent face, but he stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and he inquired about the situation in detail, not daring to slack off.
After the consultation was completed, she smiled a little lightly, a little embarrassed. Imperial Physician Ning should have done this job more easily than those little doctors, and I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll just run to her these days.
Ning He also pitied this Ruan Jieyu for always being sick, and wanted to sigh, but thought about it and swallowed it back in front of the master, and said some comforting words.
He instructed again, "If the medicine hurts the body a lot, the lower officials will not prescribe it mixed." The girl will simmer a bowl of radish soup for your little master, and it will be recovered in a few days. ”
"That's it?" Mu Xiang doubted.
"Yes."
She breathed a sigh of relief, and sent Imperial Doctor Ning out of the courtyard, and waited for the young lady to freshen up and change clothes. Ruan Yuyi didn't bother to make up, she just hairpinned her hair casually, and then ordered to prepare the horse.
Her thoughts, the little palace maid saw it in her eyes for her own mother, and thanked her gratefully on the side.
The car was light and fast, and it didn't take long for Ruan Yuyi and a few people to return to the palace.
She originally wanted to go directly to Chonghua Palace to explore the situation, but Mu Xiang insisted that she go back to Meixuan to rest first, and then went with radish soup.
"The lady concubine treats the little master well, and the slaves and maids see it in their eyes. But the little master is the master of the slave, and the slave is more worried about your body than the concubine. She made no secret of her selfishness, her brows knitting her worries.
Ruan Yuyi didn't want to stalemate with her, and looked in the direction of Chonghua Palace, just about to say something.
The little palace maid pursed her lips and also persuaded, "Niangniang's side should be free of worries about her life for the time being, and the little master must not take care of her body, it must not be what Niangniang wants to see." ”
She was relieved.
When she arrived at Luo Meixuan, she was placed to sit down, and Mu Xiang went to simmer the soup again without stopping.
She sipped warm tea, shook off the cold, and held the sleeve stove in her sleeve, but her mind didn't know how far to drift.
There was a knock on the door, three light and one heavy, very well-behaved. She glanced to the door, and shouted for people to come in. I wondered in my heart, when did this girl Mu Ling become so stable.
was supposed to take turns to wait closely, but there was no figure, and a well-looking eunuch came with his head down, dressed in brocade clothes, and his steps were steady and calm.
He saluted respectfully, "Ruan Jieyu Jin'an, the slave Cen Li, was sent by His Majesty to serve the little master." ”
Her hand on the sleeve stove tightened slightly, "I'm calling the wood spirit over." She looked down at her with some repulsion. She knew that this was the eyes and ears he had placed beside her.
Cen Li explained lightly, "Your Majesty ordered the removal of a big palace maid beside the little master, and the slave was on top. ”
This is just a superficial rhetoric, he heard it by chance, saying that there was something wrong with the servant, and it was His Majesty who remembered her friendship with this Ruan Jieyu in the past, and directly transferred away the fear that Ruan Jieyu would not be willing, so he didn't move her, and turned a blind eye.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" There was frost and snow between her brows, and her fingertips were buckled into the hollow pattern on the lid of the furnace, and her fingertips were burning.
Cen Li naturally didn't want to talk to her about this, so she only said, "The palace is of strict rank, and with the position of the little master, there can only be two people waiting in close proximity. The little master doesn't need to respond, and the slave is not a man. ”
He seemed to be saying that if she wanted the wood spirit to come back, she should know what to do.
And the eunuchs in the palace who are waiting for the concubines to change their clothes and bathe, there are many people, which is not unusual.
He is like a puppet, Ruan Yuyi asks, and he answers.
