A dinner party finally ended without any danger.
Lin Yi snuggled next to Qin Shuihan, listening to the sound of the carriage slowly driving through the snow, and couldn't explain her mood at the moment.
Life will never be so ordinary.
"Shuihan, Your Majesty doesn't like me."
Qin Shuihan pursed his lips. He didn't know why his father didn't like Yiyi.
"It's me marrying you, it has nothing to do with my father."
Lin Yi was a little surprised, feeling that they looked like a young couple eloping.
But how do you say that sentence?
"There will be no marriage without the blessing of parents -"
Lin Yi looked at Qin Shuihan blankly. Even though the light in the carriage was dim, she could see the anger in his eyes.
Qin Shuihan held her tightly in his arms.
"Yiyi, we will be happy. I have really wronged you in the hall. I will definitely give you a grand marriage ceremony."
He didn't expect that Lin Yi would declare that they were husband and wife in front of everyone, regardless of his own reputation.
Lin Yi hummed softly and rested her head on his arm.
The speeches in the main hall were also extremely angry.
However, she didn't take matters of honor seriously, and what she said was all true anyway.
Just thinking about Emperor Qin Ming, I really want to knock him to death.
The orders of her parents and the words of a matchmaker, these ancient constraints really suffocated her.
"What they said is actually the truth..."
Qin Shuihan smiled slightly, sweeping away the melancholy in his eyes.
Yes, she is his princess. She was, is, and will be her princess in the future.
There are two teams of people guarding the side hall of the palace.
The royal guards of the State of Qin stood outside the palace with their heads held high.
After all, Dongling's guards couldn't stand the climate in the capital and hid indoors to warm themselves by the fire.
Although the snow in Dongling is heavier than that in Beijing, their snow is drier and can still remain fluffy even in the past month, unlike the snow here that gradually turns into ice crystals.
This is the place where messengers are received.
In the hall, Qi Jue lay on the bed with his eyes open and refused to get up.
Thinking of yesterday's dinner, he still felt chilled.
That Emperor Qin Ming actually wanted to make Mingzhen his concubine.
Mingzhen is only eighteen years old.
The palace battles in Qin will only get worse in Dongling. Can she be safe alone among these many walls?
Emperor Qin Ming didn't look like a good person no matter how he looked at it. It was clear that Miss Yi and King Han were in love, but Emperor Qin Ming directly asked them in public if they wanted to take Yimu away!
Qi Jue turned over, he couldn't get what he wanted.
Just when he thought of Lin Yi, King Han's nervous and angry face appeared in his mind.
The figure is tall and straight, like a green pine in the snow, or like the lonely moon on a winter night, without giving in at all.
If so many people hadn't begged for mercy, they would probably have witnessed the scene where father and son turned against each other.
He turned over again, and the scene of the confrontation between Lin Yi and Emperor Qin Ming appeared in his mind.
As expected of the woman he fell in love with, she was fearless and strong-willed, even the emperor of Qin dared to contradict her.
Qi Jue sighed again, Yimu and King Han really matched each other.
This is a fact he has to admit!
There were steady footsteps outside the door. No need to guess, it must be Qi Renji.
Qi Renji opened the door and asked, "How long do you want to lie down?"
He knew that Qi Jue was dissatisfied with him for marrying Mingzhen to Emperor Qin Ming, but for the stability of Dongling, what did a princess mean?
However, Emperor Qin Ming was indeed a ruthless man. He had just summoned him, and not only ordered Mingzhen to be sent there immediately, but he also asked Dongling again if he was willing to take Yimu away.
Qi Renji sat on the edge of the bed and pushed Qi Jue's shoulder.
"I have some news for you. I'm sure you will be happy. Emperor Qin Ming summoned her just now and asked us if we want to take Yimu away. Although I don't know what the emperor of Qin means, it seems that he dislikes that woman very much. What do you think? "
Upon hearing this, Qi Jue lifted the quilt and Gulu stood up and sat up.
"Renji, what does Emperor Qin Ming mean? He doesn't want to see Miss Yi, but I like her."
Qi Renji seemed to have expected such a reaction from him and shook his head helplessly.
"She is already that King Han's woman, so you don't mind?"
Qi Jue shook his head.
"I like her and don't mind at all."
"My brain is gored. Emperor Qin Ming wants to use such a woman to send us away. I really can't swallow this breath. But looking at the look of King Han yesterday, who snatched his woman, this father and son should have a fight Great drama.”
Qi Renji snorted coldly. He found out that Emperor Qin Ming was blessed with a young beautiful woman yesterday. He really didn't understand that the emperor at this age could still be so energetic.
However, if Mingzhen can give birth to a son and a half daughter of Emperor Qin Ming, the relationship between Dongling and Qin will definitely become stronger.
"I will take Mingzhen to Emperor Qin Ming's palace at noon, and I will reply to him then that we in Dongling are willing to accept that Yimu. Are you satisfied?"
Qi Jue lamented, for Mingzhen's sake.
But he smiled shyly, for Yimu's sake.
Seeing the smile that could not be hidden in the corners of Qi Jue's eyes, Qi Renji sighed.
Although he has no feelings for women, he is still willing to put some thought into this follower who has been following him for many years.
Prince Han's Mansion.
Lin Yi stood quietly in front of two sweet-scented osmanthus trees.
The branches are becoming more and more bare, and the remaining leaves have turned yellow. This is the sweet-scented osmanthus tree that Qin Shuihan transported thousands of miles from Hangzhou. How could it be frozen to death like this!
Biyue led a young man over.
"Princess, the gardener has finally been found!"
She didn't know what kind of tree it was, but a few days ago Lin Yi asked the housekeeper if there was any gardener who was familiar with the trees in the south of the Yangtze River.
After searching for a long time, today I finally found a gardener who has not returned to the south for the New Year.
Lin Yi saw the man carrying a large burden, and the guards behind him helped him carry two bags.
The gardener didn't know how to salute. He glanced at the osmanthus tree and then immersed himself in opening the package and bag.
I saw that the packages and bags were stuffed with linen and straw.
Although Lin Yi didn't know much about gardening, she finally relaxed her brows when she saw the gardener looking so handy.
"Can these two trees survive?"
The gardener looked up at Lin Yi and immediately lowered his head. They did not dare to take another look at such a noble person.
"P-please don't worry, Princess."
The gardener's voice was a little trembling. He had never been to the palace before, and the most senior official he had ever visited was the mansion of a young master with his master.
"These two osmanthus trees are Tianxiangtaige and Agarwood. They are both good varieties. With a little care, they can survive this winter."
Seeing that he was very nervous, Lin Yi said thank you and left.
Seeing her leave, the gardener breathed a sigh of relief.
He skillfully wrapped several layers of warm linen around the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and also wrapped it in a lot of straw and wheat straw.
After a while, the two fully armed osmanthus trees were completed.
After the gardener's task was completed, he was immediately taken away from the yard by the guards.
Looking at the heavy snow falling in the sky, Lin Yi rubbed her hands and ran to the osmanthus tree.
After some care by the gardener, these two osmanthus trees will definitely be able to withstand this cold winter.
Biyue held up a big oil umbrella to prevent the snowflakes from falling on Lin Yi.
"Biyue, look at how beautiful this snow scene is!"
Lin Yi stretched out her hand and tried to catch the snowflakes.
At this time, Leng Fang also walked over holding a big oil umbrella.
"Princess, the master said we cannot let you catch the cold."
Lin Yi chuckled, squatted down, picked up a handful of snow, and sprinkled it on the two of them.
"You won't get cold if you move! Come on, let's have a snowball fight."
Biyue and Leng Fang were slightly stunned, not knowing how to deal with such a situation.
Lin Yi hung her fur coat on the tree, got ready and lowered her waist.
Biyue and Leng Fang looked at each other silently, put away their big oil umbrellas, and prepared to release the water.
Lin Yi smiled as brightly as a flower.
You can have a snowball fight!
She rolled a snowball in a decent manner, and just as she was about to throw it out, she saw Butler Wu carrying a bamboo hat and walking step by step in the snow.
"Princess, Superintendent Jinglan sent a message that the Holy One has decreed that you should come to the palace immediately for medical treatment."
"Now?"
"Princess, Superintendent Jinglan is waiting in the lobby..."
"..."
Lin Yi frowned. It was only the next day that he had to test his medical skills.
This Emperor Qin Ming!
She dropped the snowball in her hand, picked up the fur coat hanging on the tree, and greeted Emperor Qin Ming several times in her heart.
"Steward Wu, please ask Chief Jinglan to wait while I prepare the medical equipment and set off."
Lin Yi returned to the room and picked up the familiar medical bag.
The silver needle and syringe looked intact, but unfortunately the scalpel was still missing.
She pondered for a moment. Could the scalpel still be in Pingshan Village?
But even if there is a scalpel, it is useless. Can I use the knife on someone?
In the eyes of others, does this count as a weapon?
She took a few more bottles of commonly used medicine and stuffed them into her medical bag.
Not being with Qin Shuihan did make her feel a little uneasy.
But this was a summons from the Holy One, and there was no time for her to write ink.
"Bi Yue, Leng Fang, you can rest in the courtyard. It's quite cold today."
The two of them glanced at Lin Yi and knew that they would not be able to enter the main hall even if the Holy Master summoned them, so they nodded.
Lin Yi lowered his eyes and followed Jinglan to the palace.
Inside the carriage.
Lin Yi looked at Jinglan calmly for a few times, but she hadn't seen her for more than half a year, what could have changed!
She hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Superintendent Jinglan, I wonder what the symptoms of today's patient are?"
Jing Lan raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Yi.
"You'll know this when Miss Yi arrives."
Lin Yi bit her lip. She knew that the taciturn Jing Lan had a clear mind and was not a bad person.
It's just that a patient who can't be treated by the imperial doctors in the palace is probably not a minor illness. It's best to know some information in advance.
But Jinglan didn't tell herself anything.
Lin Yi lowered her head and began to think deeply. She tried hard to recall the basics of medicine in the book.
Nothing can change without departing from its roots!
As long as you deal with it calmly, no matter how difficult the disease is, you will have no regrets.
Seeing Lin Yi's concentration, Jinglan's heart sank. This serious look reminded him of the deceased Princess Han.
He looked at Lin Yi opposite him calmly.
She is a thoughtful woman, and she was even more unruly at yesterday's dinner party.
It's a pity that such a temperament is destined to anger the Holy Emperor, and he will not be able to return to Prince Han's Mansion after entering the palace.
He lowered his eyes and touched the whisk in his hand.
Jinglan's emotions were very complicated for the woman in front of him. He hoped that Qin Shuihan could be established as the crown prince.
But last night's performance was indeed disappointing.
Jinglan recalled the moment yesterday when Emperor Qin Ming sat on the chariot.
When he opened his mouth, he said "Checha Yimu".
However, as of noon today, Yimu's identity could not be found.
There is no information from Yimu in the capital, and there are no officials from Yimu in Hangzhou and its surrounding areas.
To say that they come from a medical family is simply a big lie.
Emperor Qin Ming naturally did not allow such an unknown person to approach Han'er, so he quickly gave instructions.
Jing Lan acted according to the order, but was the woman in front of him really a suspicious person?
Lin Yi naturally didn't know what would greet her when she entered the palace. She was still recalling the nerve distribution of the human brain.
too difficult.
But even if everything is taken out, we can't open the skull for surgery.
The two of them remained speechless all the way.
Jinglan suddenly hoped that the snow would fall harder, so she would slow down the carriage and take this young lady to experience the last scenery of the capital.
Lin Yi was completely unaware of the risks of this trip. She touched her medical bag and thought about going back home and asking Qin Shuihan to help her make a scalpel.
The carriage finally arrived at the palace.
When the guard saw that it was Jinglan's carriage, he came over and asked and immediately let it go.
Lin Yi followed Jinglan to a dormitory. When she looked up and saw the words "Yixuan Palace", she felt hesitant.
The palace was not as big as she had imagined, but it did look impregnable and fortified.
When they arrived at the door, Jing Lan made an invitation gesture and stood guard at the door without entering the palace.
Lin Yi frowned, very confused.
How can I let myself go in alone without fearing that I am an assassin?
She took another look at her medical bag. She was just a doctor and not a suspicious person.
But as soon as she entered the door, Lin Yi smelled a faint sweet smell.
Without waiting for her to react, Jinglan closed the door again.
It turned out that there were two eunuchs standing in the room, as well as several palace maids and nuns.
The eunuch stood in front of the dragon couch not far away.
The maid stepped aside, and Mammy looked more like Popeye on standby.
Lin Yi shrank his neck, this formation was really puzzling.
She stood there not knowing what to do.
At this time, there were gasps from the dragon bed, and the bed curtains were filled with charming figures.
Lin Yimei's eyes widened. She didn't know whether to doubt her eyes or her ears.
Or is it your own brain?
What a speechless scene!
The two eunuchs lowered their heads and remained silent, as if they were wooden men.
Lin Yi stood there blankly, where was the patient he had promised?
But the sweet smell in the temple made her alert.
She cast her eyes on the incense burners on both sides of the dragon couch.
Through the hollow pattern of the incense burner, Lin Yi saw a gray-white blocky object inside.
Lin Yi stretched her neck involuntarily.
She closed her eyes, ignored the obscene sounds coming from the bed, and sniffed.
Sure enough, the fragrance came from around the dragon couch.
Suddenly, Lin Yi came to a conclusion.
There was ambergris in the incense burner, but Emperor Qin Ming's willingness to overdraw his body had nothing to do with him.
Lin Yi put his hands behind his back and stood aside with his face not red and his heart not beating.
If this episode could be filmed, this emperor would really go down in history.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.
It's just that Lin Yi doesn't understand, why is he forced to watch this unsightly scene if he's not here to see a doctor?
The eunuchs on the side were used to it. They were originally responsible for handling these women. They had never seen such people. However, today's Princess Dongling Mingzhen is indeed different from the women in the Central Plains. She seems to be extremely excited to serve His Majesty.
After some time, Lin Yi silently recited the key points of Chinese medicine diagnosis.
A voice finally came from the dragon couch.
"Wait for me to change my clothes."
