"Sister Niao Niao, are you asleep?" Yang Ying's voice came from outside the door. Yuan Qing Niao was a little surprised. She thought that Yang Ying might not want to pay attention to her for a long time.
"No, come in." Yuan Qingying did not go to greet her, but sat on the small couch, reading a book of mountain journals by candlelight.
"Sister Niao Niao, I'm sorry..." Yang Ying's eyes and nose were still red, and she had obviously cried not long ago.
"Your Highness, have you really figured it out?" She raised her eyes to look at Yang Ying. Her big black and white eyes blinked a few times before she said firmly, "Sister Ruyi told me that the Dowager Queen did not want the King of England to My brother didn't do anything wrong by going to Anguo, and he was sincere in sending you to take care of me. I shouldn't have treated you like that this afternoon, and I almost burned you."
Although she and Ren Ruyi have not communicated so far, that person is not someone who wastes words. What would she say? Yuan Qingniao didn't believe it for the moment, but the little girl looked like she was really apologizing.
"Okay, I forgive you, but I don't want to do anything tomorrow. Your Highness can just eat more food from the inn." She stewed the soup for a long time, and then it fell to the ground like this. She was also a little tempered.
"Okay Sister Niao Niao, I want to talk to you." Seeing that Yuan Qing Niao was really not angry with her, Yang Ying immediately put on a smile.
"Come up." She patted the place next to her. She had a good impression of Yang Ying and didn't argue with her.
The little girl rubbed her hands happily, took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the couch, leaning against Yuan Qingxiao.
Yang Ying told many things about her childhood. Her mother and concubine died young and she grew up in a cold palace. Except for Gu Fu, the palace maids and eunuchs never regarded her as a serious master.
Then the two talked a lot. Yang Ying was still in a low mood when she mentioned Princess Yuan.
After hearing about the little girl's past, Yuan Qingyuan felt pity in her heart. She was just a poor little girl who didn't have the love of her father. Seeing the little girl's mood, Yuan Qingyuan comforted her, "The concubine did not plot against you, she just tried to find a way to prevent the King of England from going."
The promotion of Yang Ying's mission really had nothing to do with Concubine Yuan. She was even willing to pay a hundred gold to save Yang Ying's life. I have known Concubine Yuan for half a year, and there is no interest between them. Concubine Yuan really treats her as a junior and treats her well.
"I know that King Ying's brother is not in good health, so I can understand why the concubine is doing this." When the little girl said this, she lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly.
"Before leaving, the Dowager Queen told me to take good care of you and ensure your safety." As for what the Queen thought, Yuan Qingniao didn't know, but the Dowager Queen had never thought of letting Yang Ying die. Ying was pushed out, and she was also surprised.
"Then Sister Niao Niao, you were sent here by the Dowager Empress, aren't you afraid? Brother Yuanzhou said that in this line of work, you may encounter a lot of dangers." Yang Ying raised her head and looked at the woman. Under the reflection of the candlelight, her beautiful face was glowing. With gentle light.
"Have you forgotten about cleaning up the Ming female official? Medicine and poisoning are not separated. I have many means of self-protection." Yuan Qingniao is not a weak woman who has no power to restrain a chicken.
"Sister Niao Niao, I'm a little scared. I heard from Sister Ruyi that I might encounter bad people later. I'm a weak little lady. I don't know what to do when the time comes." The little girl is only fifteen after all. At six years old, it’s normal to be afraid.
Yuan Qingxiao took out a short needle from her sleeve and handed it to Yang Ying, "This needle contains powerful anesthetic powder. If you encounter a bad person, just stick it in his neck and he will faint immediately." ." Yuan Qingxiao pointed to the aorta in his neck.
"Ah? Sister Niao Niao, I'm afraid of hurting myself. Is there any powder or something that can stun people if you spread it?"
Yang Ying didn't dare to pick up the silver needle. She was clumsy and hid it under her clothes. What if she fainted one day?
"Okay, I'll go to the city tomorrow to prepare some for you and keep it in my arms, just in case." Yuan Qingxiao didn't think much about it. The little girl was pitiful, so she had to prepare more things with her in case of danger. , and also has a little power of self-preservation.
"Thank you Sister Niao Niao. I will eat well, study well, and protect myself well in the future. I will try my best to complete this mission and then return to Wudu in glory."
As expected, he was still a child, and what he said was childish.
"Well, you have to take good care of your body. Even if you encounter danger, you will have the strength to escape." Yang Ying grew up in the cold palace when she was a child. She didn't eat well at that time, which made her thin and short now, with almost no hands. With the power of binding a chicken, it is too late to practice martial arts at this age. It is better to take good care of your body and run faster.
The little girl was still in a low mood, and Yuan Qingyuan couldn't bear it. Thinking that she liked to join in the fun and eat melon these past two days, I felt that Qian Zhao's cold appearance would not care about such trivial matters, so he came up with the reasons to prevaricate the concubine to coax the little girl. "Actually, I took the initiative to apply."
"Ah?" Yang Ying looked at her with wide eyes, not quite understanding why someone would seek death.
"I told the concubine that I am very fond of Mr. Qian and don't trust him." Knowing that Qian Zhao was probably on the roof again, she leaned close to Yang Ying's ear and whispered very quietly.
Yang Ying's eyes widened and she almost screamed, "Sister Niao Niao, is it true?" She looked like a melon-eating crowd eating a shockingly big melon.
"This is a secret between the two of us. Promise me not to tell anyone else." Yuan Qingying stretched out her hand and high-fived Yang Ying.
"Sister Niao Niao, I promise, I promise not to tell anyone else. Hehe, I'm going back first. Don't forget to prepare some medicine for me tomorrow." Yang Ying went out like a stolen kitten, carrying her little hands. , met Yuan Lu, who became happy when he saw her going to Dr. Yuan's room, and asked with concern, "Did something happy happen to your highness?"
"Hehe, I won't tell you." Yang Ying calmed her expression, unable to hide the smile on her lips and walked back to the room.
"What did you say to His Highness?" Qian Zhao came down from the roof, stood by her window, and asked.
"Buddha said, don't say it." Seeing that the time was almost up, Yuan Qingyuan ignored Qian Zhao's eyes, closed the rod supporting the window, closed the window, blew out the candle, and went to sleep. He didn't care at all that the man outside the room was still scratching his head and guessing what the two said between them? I can make His Highness happy like that.
"Brother Qian, do you know what Sister Niao Niao said to His Highness? I saw His Highness burst into laughter." Yuan Lu passed by and happened to see Qian Zhao still there.
"I don't know." Qian Zhao suspected that Yuan Qingxiao did it on purpose. When she said that to His Highness, she whispered it very quietly into His Highness's ear, and he didn't hear a word.
Yang Ying has always been independent, and she clearly refused Yuan Qingniao to come and take care of her every day. Yuan Qingniao does not need to get up early now, and basically has to wait until Sun Lang comes to call for Yuanbao every day.
"Sun Lang, which post will you rest at today?" Sun Lang was responsible for most of the chores in the mission. Yuan Qingyuan asked clearly about the arrival at Baisha Town before packing up, opening the door and carrying Yuan Bao out. "Yuanbao, I'm going to town today to prepare medicine for Yang Ying, will you go?"
"Dispensing medicine? Don't go, don't go. Sun Lang has picked up a new dog. I want to go find my little friend to play with."
Yuan Qingying had no choice but to hand the Yuan Bao to Sun Lang, "I have something to do today, so I will ask you to take care of the Yuan Bao."
Sun Lang happily petted the dog, nodded, and called the guards to carry Yuan Qingniao's cage away.
Yuan Qingniao didn't want to deal with Ning Yuanzhou unless necessary. That man had as many eyes as a sieve, but he was not easy to fool at all. Although she made a deal yesterday, she couldn't really be unscrupulous and left the mission in the middle. Yuan Qingniao still followed the rules and reported to Ning Yuanzhou.
Qian Zhao happened to be there, and Ning Yuanzhou asked her what she was doing. Qian Zhao took the initiative to explain to Ning Yuanzhou. "Go and prepare some self-defense powder for His Highness."
Except for the day they first met, Yuan Qingyuan wore a female official's uniform. For these two days, she wore regular clothes. They were simpler than the clothes worn by a boudoir lady, but the style was exquisite and the material was expensive. Although her bun was simple, the hair between her hair was The ornaments also look valuable. For such a beautiful, rich, and unskilled woman to go out alone, the probability of something happening is high.
"It's not safe for you, a weak woman. I'll ask Qian Zhao to accompany you." It happened to be dispensing medicine, and Qian Zhao could watch it, so Yuan Qingniao couldn't do anything.
"Okay." She was too lazy to think about Ning Yuanzhou's true thoughts. With free labor following her, Yuan Qingxiao was also happy to be free.
The mission was packed up and ready to set off. Yang Ying was helped onto the carriage. She looked around and did not see Yuan Qingniao, so she asked Yuan Lu next to her, "Where is Sister Niao? Where did she go? Why didn't she see her? she?"
"Sister Niao Niao and Brother Qian went to Baisha Town early in the morning. I don't know why they are going there?" Yuan Lu saw the two of them leaving together on horseback. When Yang Ying asked, he immediately said it like he was pouring beans.
"The two of them together?" Yang Ying's eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
"Well, what's wrong?" Yuan Lu didn't quite understand why Yang Ying was so happy, but it didn't stop him from being happy too.
"Hey, there are two of them." Yang Ying hammered her fist, raised her eyes to meet Yuan Lu's curious eyes, and immediately stopped, pretending to cough, and then opened the curtain and entered the carriage.
Thinking about the dangers Yang Ying might encounter in the future, Yuan Qingniao prepared three kinds of medicinal powder for her. A powerful Ma Fei Powder, which will make you dizzy immediately if you inhale it into your mouth and nose; a Luo Itch Powder, which she added to several decoctions and had no problem, but it would cause severe itching on the skin; and a Ruanjin Powder Inhaling it into your mouth and nose can make your limbs weak and lose your internal strength. The specific duration depends on the amount. If you take it orally, you will feel dizzy immediately. The effect is better than inhaling it.
Qian Zhao heard her give out a bunch of names of medicines. The first few herbs in combination looked a bit like Ma Fei powder. The herbs in the middle treated different diseases and were completely unrelated. The herbs at the back looked like... The formula of Ruanjin Powder was slightly different from what he knew.
"Miss Yuan, these medicines are used to treat several different diseases. What's the magic effect of combining them together?" Both of them take them regularly for travel, which is convenient when they are outside. The title was naturally changed.
"Some medicines are good for treatment when decoction is taken. When used externally, they may have unexpected effects." Qian Zhao has always received orthodox medical teachings. Unlike her, who is the director of Ji Zhongjia, she also likes to learn some heretical things. Seeing the curiosity in his eyes, Yuan Qingyuan explained to him that if these medicines were ground into powder and mixed together, the affected areas of the skin would immediately become extremely itchy and cause many red rashes. She strengthened the effectiveness of the medicine. , the kind of itch that scratches the heart, scratches the liver, and loses mobility.
"How do you know so much?" Qian Zhao became more and more curious about Yuan Qingxiao. Unfortunately, Liudaotang could not find any information. If Yuan Qingxiao was unwilling to tell, no one would know about her past.
"I like reading and have learned a lot. My master is not from an orthodox medical family, so he knows how to order everything. Stretch out your hand." Yuan Qingxiao explained half-truthfully.
Qian Zhao didn't know what was going on, but he still extended his hand as he was told. Yuan Qingxiao stood next to him and covered his hand.
His palms were wide, calloused, warm and rough.
Feeling the touch on his hand, Qian Zhao wanted to withdraw his hand for a moment. The woman's fingers are as white as green onion, her skin is as creamy, and she is weak and boneless. It is really hard to imagine that such hands can cook and save people. The medicinal food Yuan Qingniao stewed yesterday tasted really good.
But after a moment, she withdrew her hand and handed the medicinal materials into his hand. The failure in her palm made Qian Zhao feel lost for a moment.
