Yan Se rolled his eyes left and right, then stood up. Hua Jue thought that she didn't want to listen to his boring talk, and was a little annoyed that he was too enthusiastic. However, this was really his first time trying to chat with a mute, so he had no experience. I annoyed her.
Unexpectedly, Yanse walked straight to the medicine cabinet where the Imperial Medicine Department stood, took out a red porcelain box from the second top shelf, and handed it to Hua Jue.
Hua Jue was stunned, and Nian Sheng came forward to take a look, then pointed to the words on it and said: "Golden Snake Frostbite Ointment! Oh... So you want to use this frostbite ointment for Hua Jue!"
Yanse nodded. At this moment, Pharmacist Chen and the little medicine boy had already grabbed the medicine. He was holding a bunch of bundled medicine bags in his left and right hands. Then he smiled and said to Hua Jue: "These imperial guards are often injured. , it has long been a daily routine to go to the Imperial Pharmacy Department to get medicine and see a doctor, and you can be regarded as a half-medicine. The golden snake frostbite ointment Yanse gave you is the best frostbite medicine, and the smell is not pungent. You palace ladies will like it. After all, you have to dress up the ladies on weekdays, so it would be bad if the master smells the pungent smell of medicine on your hands!"
Hua Jue was overjoyed. He glanced at the female guard standing upright next to him and felt that she was not a bad person. Although she couldn't speak, she didn't dislike him for being a talker. She was also willing to point out the appropriate medicine for him, so he took the Golden Snake Frostbite Ointment. He said to Yanse: "Thank you Yanse!"
The relationship between people is actually so strange. With some people, you feel that they are a good person based on just a few words and a brief encounter, and this intuition is often not wrong.
And for some people, you feel disgusted when you first meet them. Eventually, after seeing them again for many years, this disgust will not disappear, but will become more disgusting.
Nian Sheng stepped forward and took the large and small packets of medicine prescribed by Pharmacist Chen for Yanse, and then said to Hua Jue: "You should take good care of yourself first, and I will come to see you again in a while!"
Hua Jue nodded and watched Yanse and Niansheng leave.
Pharmacist Chen said: "Before you were away, Yuwei came to catch you several times and wanted to give her to Queen Qingyi. I heard that Queen Qingyi's condition has worsened again?"
Hua Jue frowned and nodded: "Perhaps it's because the weather is getting colder and colder. My mother-in-law's old illness has begun to relapse again. Now she has a severe cough. The medicine she took before has not improved. I hope you give her a new treatment." Just a prescription!"
Pharmacist Chen frowned and said: "Queen Qingyi's illness is really difficult to cure. She got better inexplicably, but also got seriously ill inexplicably. I really have no way to deal with her illness. Let me change the prescription and give you a new one." Prepare some medicine and go back, and let Queen Qingyi take it again to see if it works for her!"
"Well, then it's up to you, Pharmacist Chen!"
Afterwards, Hua Jue returned to Chenxi Palace with the new medicine prescribed by Pharmacist Chen, boiled the new medicine and gave it to Qingyi.
Qingyi kept coughing in the room. She looked at the palace maid standing outside the door and signaled Hua Jue to close the door.
Hua Jue closed the door and came to her side to help her drink the medicine. Qingyi whispered: "Hua Jue, there is an informant sent by the Queen in Chenxi Palace. You and I need to be careful what we say!"
Hua Jue immediately understood why Empress Qingyi seemed to be a different person in the past few days since she came back, and she was much colder to her. It turned out that it was because there was an informant sent by the queen in Chenxi Palace, so she did this on purpose.
When she saw that Qingyi was not coughing when talking to her, she said, "Ms. Qingyi, so you are pretending to cough just to show that eyeliner?"
Naturally, it was not convenient for Hua Jue to know about Qingyi and Lin Xie. She just said:
"That's right, Hua Jue, since I recovered from my illness, I have been traveling more with Your Majesty. The Queen has regarded me as a thorn in her side. That day in the Imperial Garden, the Queen designed a plan to make me and Lin Xie fall into his hands. , and put the charges against you on me."
"You can imagine that a concubine was hanging out with the eunuchs in the palace in the imperial garden. If rumors of such scandals spread, whether it is true or false, your majesty will no longer favor me. My fate will be to be dealt with by your majesty. Or he will be relegated to the cold palace and never have a chance to make a comeback!"
After listening to Qingyi's analysis, Hua Jue felt a chill down her back. She clenched her fists and said, "The Queen is too terrible. Fortunately, Eunuch Lin made a quick decision that day and asked me to switch with you. This crime will not fall on you, Queen." On your head, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!”
Qingyi nodded, and then continued to ask Hua Jue: "By the way, what did His Majesty tell you when you were in the prison?"
Hua Jue said: "Actually, His Majesty is not as unkind as we thought. He is not only wise and powerful, but also able to distinguish right from wrong. No matter what the Queen says, he will not fall into the poisonous scheme set by the Queen. I feel that Your Majesty seems to believe it." As I said, I thought I was just looking for the lost mandarin duck brocade handkerchief in the Imperial Garden."
Qingyi asked in a low voice: "Then does Your Majesty doubt me?"
Hua Jue said hurriedly: "Of course not. I never said that you went to the Royal Garden, my concubine. I just followed Eunuch Lin's words and said that I accidentally lost your mandarin duck brocade handkerchief, concubine Qingyi." , I was afraid of your punishment, so I spent the whole night looking for the mandarin duck brocade handkerchief in the snow. When your majesty saw that my hands were frostbitten, he thought what I said was true and didn’t have any more doubts!"
Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her head and glanced at Hua Jue's ten red and swollen fingers. She held them distressedly and asked, "Hua Jue, I've suffered so much for you. I'm lucky that you took the blame for me that day. Otherwise, I really want to fall into the trap designed by the queen! Are your hands okay?"
Hua Jue smiled and said: "Ms. Qingyi, you don't have to worry about me. I applied the Golden Snake Frostbite Ointment prescribed by the Imperial Medicine Department. The swelling has gone down a lot and the pain is not severe anymore. I just feel that my fingers are a little itchy." . Pharmacist Chen said that itchy fingers are a sign that they are about to get better. He told me not to scratch them for a few days, and they will be fine in a few days!"
Qingyi nodded and said, "That's good. Do you know that I was really worried about you these days when you were arrested? Fortunately, you came back smoothly."
Hua Jue looked at the medicine placed on the table and asked, "Ms. Qingyi, how long are you going to pretend to be sick?"
Qingyi frowned and said: "I didn't know how to restrain my sharpness before, which made the Queen the Queen unhappy, and that's why I got into trouble with you and caused such trouble. I want to find an excuse to go to His Majesty less, so that the Queen may be able to slow down." Slowly relax your vigilance towards me, I think I will have to pretend to be sick for a while."
Hua Jue didn't know that in just one night, Zhui Lan Palace seemed to be full of schemes.
The intrigues in everyone's heart have woven into this deep palace network, and no one in it is spared.
Yugan Palace.
After several days of recuperation, Lin Xie's health has improved. Except for the injury on his eye, which needs to be recovered slowly, he can now work as usual.
Today he was wearing a white python robe, a black hat, a black eyepatch on his right eye, and a jade belt tied around his narrow waist, which made him look even more heroic.
He saw Lan Lin practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, with a tall and tall female guard standing beside him. Lin Xie walked halfway, held his ground, and admired King Zhui Lan's swordsmanship under the snow.
He said with a hint of coldness in his voice: "I didn't expect that I have only been ill for a few days, and His Majesty has a female guard by his side!"
Nian Sheng, who was following him, looked at Yan Se standing in the snow, then smiled and said to Lin Xie: "Eunuch Lin, you don't know something. That day, the Queen was waiting for someone to come to His Majesty, insisting that the person should be given to him. His Majesty is acting as a personal bodyguard, but His Majesty has no other choice, so he lets the royal guards compete with him. Fortunately, Yanse defeated the opponent and regained face for His Majesty."
"Oh? Yanse, you said the female guard's name is Yanse?"
"Yes -" Nian Sheng nodded and suddenly saw a group of imperial guards approaching. The leader was Chang He, the commander of the guards, and Chang Si followed closely behind him.
Lin Xie also saw Chang Si in the crowd at this moment, and said in surprise: "It's him——"
Nian Sheng followed his gaze and said with a smile: "Eunuch Lin, that person is the one I told you just now. He was highly recommended by the Queen to be your Majesty's personal guard. I heard that his brother was also your Majesty's personal guard." Here’s your personal bodyguard!”
Lin Xie touched his wrist lightly and squinted at Chang Si who was walking along the way. He couldn't figure out what the purpose of this person's entry into the palace was. Could it be what Lan Lin meant? After all, he is the younger brother of his old lover!
Lin Xie couldn't help but feel uneasy. In the previous confrontation with Queen Ye Nong, he was almost in danger. Fortunately, he was able to escape the danger in the end, but it was only a narrow victory.
It can be seen that Queen Ye Nong is indeed a powerful person, but now he has become a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh. It seems that the days to come will be like walking on thin ice, and he needs to be cautious every step of the way.
Chang He led a group of royal guards to salute Lan Lin: "See you, Your Majesty!"
Lan Lin stopped swinging the sword in his hand, put the sword back on the wooden stand gracefully, then sat on the stone bench beside him, looked at Changhe and said: "I am going to ask the shipyard to build a batch of warships. For preparing for war, I will leave it to you, Chang He, to supervise and supervise this matter, what do you think?"
Changhe hurriedly raised his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty entrusts this matter to his subordinates as a sign of trust in his subordinates. I will do my best!"
Lan Lin nodded, his eyes fell on Chang Si beside him, and asked: "After entering the palace, are you still used to it?"
Changsi was shocked. He didn't expect Lan Lin to be so interested in him, so he said, "Changsi thanks your majesty for your consideration. Everything has been adjusted to him."
Lan Lin thought that the person in front of him was Chang Ting's younger brother after all. For the sake of his brother's affection, he shouldn't be too harsh on him, so he couldn't help but treat Chang Si with an elder brother's mentality.
He said: "Although you lost to Yanse in the martial arts competition in front of the palace that day, it doesn't prove that you are inferior to her. It's just that Gu wants you to stay with Changhe and let him train you more. In the future, you can be independent and good at being alone." I entrust you with a heavy responsibility!"
Changsi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Don't worry, Your Majesty, Changsi will definitely live up to Your Majesty's grace!"
Lin Xie walked over with a smile and said to Lan Lin: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, not only have you gained a personal bodyguard, but you have also gained a capable general! With the intelligence of the chief guard, you will definitely be able to make a difference in the Zhuilan Palace in the future!"
