Shangguan Yaohua smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not disfigured anyway, just a few more days of rest." "He came here to deliver this herb. At this time, the intention was achieved, and he didn't want to stay longer, this time he was really in a hurry, and he soon went far.

Xuan Shuang also wanted to call him a few words, and it was self-evident where his injuries came from. Thinking that Fang Cai's words were too much, it was too late to compensate him. At the end, he laughed at himself: "What about him? I don't say it, he won't care anyway." ”

I couldn't delay for a moment in front of me, and rushed to the side hall with the herbs, wanting to go to the soup to discuss remotely. Seeing that the candle was still lit in the room, I was overjoyed, and knocked on the door several times outside the room, but no one answered. Attached to the crack in the door, I couldn't hear anything unusual.

Sticking his hands to the door panel, he pushed it open inch by inch, and as soon as he entered the door, a wave of heat hit his face, mixed with an indescribable strange smell, which was almost impossible to breathe, and his eyes were so smoked that tears flowed out of his eyes. One hand fanned a few times in front of him, covering his nose and moving forward with difficulty. I finally saw a gray-black crockpot on the ground, and the mist was still rising.

Tang Yuan sat on a small wooden stool beside him, holding a wooden spoon and stirring back and forth in the medicine jar, and holding a pu fan in the other hand, fanning around the medicine jar. On his lap rests an open book, with several illustrations, with large textual notes at the lower end.

Looking at it, it was full of large tadpole words, stretching and contracting, ups and downs, and I was dizzy at a glance, I really don't know how Tang Yuan could face this boring thing for a long time. He frowned and said, "Master Tang, what are you doing?" As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he suddenly inhaled a large amount ......of smoke from his mouth. At this time, the medicine jar is extremely far away, and the smell is particularly pungent, and I choke and cough.

Tang Yuanyuan said: "Hmm, it's Xuanshuang? Why haven't you slept yet?" Hey, you see, according to what the imperial doctor in the palace said, that medicine only needs to be boiled according to the recipe. I'm a good doctor of medicine, since they can't be idle......" Xuanshuang interjected: "It's not that I can't be idle, it's just that I can't see the benefits to be gained, so I don't want to contribute more." ”

Tang Yuanyuan said: "Since people say so, we should understand that he has a hard time." If you don't want to believe, you have to understand. I happened to read some medical books, hoping to find some detailed explanations, which might be helpful to Xiaoxuan's condition. ”

Xuan Shuang nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Master Tang is really amazing, others are unwilling to contribute, and he knows how to study on his own." 'Waste wood' like us can only stay by the bedside all day and night, muttering nonsense that is useless, and the rest is in a hurry. ”

Tang said remotely: "That's not what I said. As long as you do your part, no matter what the channel, Xiao Xuan will always know. You're smart and talented, and you don't have to belittle yourself for it. The medical Tao is broad and profound, and it is not something that can be penetrated in a while. Anyway, you don't plan to follow the path of practicing medicine in the future. ”

Xuanshuang played with his fingers and said, "That little fool is also dazed when he is awake, and I am afraid that he will not know anything when he is unconscious." Hey, I'm joking, you know me best, I'm a disciple, I've always been the most proud and complacent, and I can boast of three points of achievement when I have nothing to do, how can I easily despise myself? As for the future, I am destined to be a king, what cure and save people, or leave it to the hairy foot Langzhong on the rivers and lakes to bother. ”

As he spoke, he also looked at the crockpot, only to see the turbidity tumbling, and he couldn't see the bottom at a glance, and said, "Master Tang, have you already collected other materials in this crockpot?" while quietly holding the herb behind his back.

Tang Yuanyuan's gaze returned to the book, not paying attention to his small movements in the dark. Ying said: "Yes, it's a pity that the last medicine primer is missing." If you can't find it, you can't really make it. So no matter how good the previous preparation is, it is not too empty. ”

Xuan Shuang has long been tired of hearing this sentence recently. He waved his hand and said: "Who knows? It is said that the heart of the parents of the doctor, I don't believe that a certain master who writes books and biography will leave a blind herb that cannot be found in the world to make jokes about his descendants." Unless it's a stepfather. ”

Tang Yuanyuan gave him a slight smile and said, "Yes, it's just that people are not willing to do their best, so they have to blame the mistakes on the unknown records of their predecessors, or the rarity in the world, so as to absolve the blame." That's also a common disease of the world. ”

Xuan Shuang grinned, unwilling to listen to his reasoning, and changed the topic and said, "By the way, Master, you tell me again, the appearance and characteristics of the flavor medicine primer." Maybe I'll be able to find some clues, but I don't know. ”

Tang Yuanyuan was slightly stunned, although Xuan Shuang did not understand medical science, but for this flavor "the key to Xiao Xuan's treatment", he was the most familiar with it in the palace. But he suddenly came to ask himself, and there must be a deep meaning in it. With undispelled doubts, he recited the original sentence in the book, saying: "Its stem is tough and long, both curved and vine, with short thorns, and the top is full of leaves, resembling a lotus ......."

Xuan Shuang smiled mysteriously, pulled out the herb from his back, pretended to be puzzled, and said, "That is the case, I look at this one and looks a little similar. Come and see, am I dazzled?"

At first, Tang Yuanyuan only said that Xuanshuang was joking with him, and glanced at it casually, but this time he was so shocked that his eyes straightened. I hurriedly turned to the page of the medical book that recorded "mysterious herbs", compared the text description, as well as a few pictures, and confirmed it repeatedly, and finally affirmed that the two belonged to the same thing. Daxi said: "Yes! It is indeed the real thing! You ...... But where did you find it?"

Xuan Shuang said: "I was picking wild flowers in the backyard, playing with butterflies, and I accidentally saw this grass, I thought it was very familiar, and I couldn't believe it." Do you know that thinking during the day and dreaming at night often produces the illusion of similarity? I didn't even dare to trust my own judgment, so I was busy asking Master Tang that you were here. ”

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled tolerantly, and said, "If you don't want to tell me the truth, or you have your own secrets, it's up to you." In short, this time, Xiao Xuan was saved. While tearing the herb into small pieces, he solemnly sprinkled it into the medicine jar.

Strange to say, the inside of this crockpot was originally extremely unsightly. Since the addition of this herb, the cloudy medicinal soup has been tumbling several times, and a few bubbles have bubbled, and the color has gradually turned clear. And the smell also from the initial pungent nose, wafting out a herbal aroma, the smell is refreshing.

Xuan Shuang was full of praise, and said continuously: "Okay! It's amazing, it's really worthy of Master Tang!" Tang Yuan smiled slightly, and said, "What credit do I have, it's just that I can add a few flavors of medicine according to the steps listed in the book." Or is it your good taste to find the primer, and you should be the first to take the credit. ”

Xuanshuang felt embarrassed. If it is his credit, he will fight for proportion, but he is also unwilling to steal the limelight from others, especially to misunderstand honest people like Tang Yuanyuan. Smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm an errand runner." Someone did a good deed, but he didn't want to make a public announcement, and he didn't want to leave his name, so I had the opportunity to take this credit. It's not that I'm trying to hide it from you, it's just ...... Ahem, I promised him. In a word, you can't regret your brother. ”

Tang Yuan bowed his head and said: "Yes, people are in the world, they should put faith and righteousness first, and they must not speak without faith." ”

Xuan Shuang smiled, his eyes stared at his wrist flip, the medicinal fragrance became stronger and stronger, although it was no longer pungent and hurtful at this time, it had a calming effect. Gradually, a wave of sleepiness hit, and the upper and lower eyelids fought. With his hands on his knees, his forehead began to "pound garlic" again.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a faint light in the sky. Xuanshuang's body moved, rubbed his eyes, felt a meager weight behind him, and turned his head to look, an empty sleeve tube swayed down. At first, I was startled, turned to the side, and realized that I was wearing an extra piece of clothing. Looking straight at it, Tang Yuanyuan was still standing in front of the crockpot, always observing the latest progress.

Xuanshuang remembered last night's incident in a trance, she was here to care about Xiao Xuan's decoction preparation, but she didn't want to fall asleep halfway, and she really refused to fight. walked to Tang Yuan's side and squatted down, I don't know when the medicine will be boiled, and I feel embarrassed when I can't interject. He smiled slyly and said, "Master Tang, you are ...... to Xiao Xuan Tell me, what's the purpose?

Tang Yuanyuan said: "Where do you want to go? Xiaoxuan is Concubine Yun's maid, and more importantly, I admire her will to pursue love." If everyone can have such an attitude in dealing with things, why worry about it? Xiaoxuan in our eyes is a very naïve girl, and any thing can make her excited for a long time. I don't do my job all day, I just do some useless chasing. However, it is she who likes to disguise herself too much, so that everyone can only see her happiness. We are her friends, and no matter how much she avoids her, she will still be lucky to see the real her. I think Xiao Xuan is very strong, maybe stronger than any of us, she is like a flexible grass that can be bent by the wind, but it cannot be destroyed. I want to get to know her a little bit more and make her happier, even if it's just a little bit. Let her understand that she is not the only one in the world, there are still many companions by her side to encourage her and care for her. Knowing this, maybe there will be more sunshine and warmth in her world. ”

As he spoke, he took out a medicine bowl from the cabinet next to him, scooped a bowl full of it in the crockpot, and said: "This medicine is the first time it has been blended, I don't know how effective it is, I have to ask the doctors to take a look first." If possible, Xiao Xuan can be given immediately. It will take a few days for the results to be effective. ”

Xuan Shuang was not worried, and said: "I don't dare to claim credit, but you deserve it." If the prophet knows the imperial doctor, when they report to the emperor, they will definitely take all the credit on their own heads. Hmph, those snobs! Let's ...... No, you, haven't all your hard work been in vain?"

Tang Yuanyuan smiled and said: "Wouldn't it be too tiring to be a human being who cares about everything? Thinking about it in a different way, as long as this medicine can really get results, who bears that false name, and what does it matter? Moreover, the recipe was also proposed by them, and he should take the credit." In addition, if they report it, so that the prescription can be spread to the world, it will benefit more people. In the long run, it will be a good thing. ”

On the other side, look at Li Yijie. As Shunzhi and Shen Shiyun discussed a few words, they couldn't see a reason. After that, the two men talked about state affairs on their own, leaving him aside. However, after that, every time I think of the woman I saw in the Yuanyi Mansion, who looked exactly the same as Nangong Xue, but called herself "Xia Shengxun", my heart would skip a few beats.

I could control myself a few days ago, but the longer I dragged it on, the more I felt like an invisible claw scratching in my heart. finally couldn't bear it anymore, this time it was out of control, and I found excuses to go to the meeting many times.

Yuan Yi always greeted each other enthusiastically, put out wine and food, talked with him, and treated him as a distinguished guest, and Xia Shengxun often accompanied him at the table. As soon as Li Yijie's gaze stopped on her face, he couldn't move away anymore, always trying to find some topics and deliberately lead her to answer.

It's just that this time I learned well, and I never mentioned the sentence "Senior Sister Nangong" again. Not for anything else, but for any girl, she hopes that others love her complete self, not the shadow of others. Even if that "other" person is another self, it must not be tolerated.

When Li Yijie heard this strange talk, he didn't know how effective it was, so he only had the attitude of trying it out. And Xia Shengxun really changed his opinion of him, sometimes when he came into contact with his gaze, he no longer avoided it, but would give him a smile back with a faint smile. Even if there is no other expression, it can make Li Yijie content, and he is secretly happy for a long time.
