"Qilan, is there someone hiding in the corner over there?"
Ning Yuzhen was brave and wanted to go forward to check in person, but Qilan grabbed her arm.
Qilan shook her head at her and whispered: "Hiding there in broad daylight, you don't look like a good person. I'll go, my slave, but I'll stay here. If anything happens, I'll run away immediately."
After saying that, he let go of Ning Yuzhen's hand and walked straight towards the person hidden in the darkness.
She approached cautiously, trying to get closer silently, but unexpectedly, she kicked a stone and still made a sound.
The man in the corner slowly raised his head and looked at Qilan with fear.
Only then did Qilan realize that the man looked to be in his prime, and he was wearing the clothes of an official from the Taiyuan Hospital.
"Who are you?" Qilan asked with a frown, "Why are you hiding here in broad daylight?"
The junior official knelt down with a thump, which startled Qilan.
She scolded: "Why don't you answer my question? Do you know where this is? How can you, a foreign man, hide in the harem?"
I saw the official raised his head, with two lines of tears on his face, and kowtowed to Qilan twice. He begged for mercy: "I am the official of Taiyuan Hospital, my name is Bing Yuanqing, hiding behind the door. , just because I was in a bad mood and wanted to repair myself before going back to the hospital, I didn’t mean to stay here."
This miserable sight made Qilan not know what to do. She couldn't help a foreign man, so she could only move to the side to avoid his kowtow. When she was helpless, Ning Yuzhen heard the sound and came over.
Ning Yuzhen heard the cause and effect and asked, "Why are you in a bad mood?"
Bing Yuanqing simply had nowhere to vent. Although it was against the rules to pour out his bitterness to a harem empress, he couldn't think of so much at the moment. With a touch of his upper and lower lips, he told him about his lack of talent.
If you want to enter Taiyuan Hospital, you must first be from a family of imperial doctors, secondly, ask someone to sponsor you to study in Taiyuan Hospital, and thirdly, be a person with excellent folk medical skills. After entering Taiyuan Hospital, you will be promoted according to your grade and vacancies.
Bing Yuanqing came from an ordinary background, and because he was very interested in medical skills, his family worked hard to get him a connection with the palace. He entered the Imperial Hospital to study, and after taking the exam, he officially became a medical doctor.
He studied hard and was very talented, and he quickly rose to the rank of official, but over the years, he has remained stagnant. Those who were not as capable as him have now become imperial doctors. He was unwilling to do so, and quietly overheard that it was... That man was a member of the Left Court Judge clan and took his place.
Today he came to the harem to diagnose the pulse of a palace maid, but the palace maid made a lot of sarcastic remarks, saying that he was still sitting in the position of an official at his age. This made Bing Yuanqing feel depressed and hid behind the red door to relieve his mood. , I met Ning Yuzhen.
After hearing this, Ning Yuzhen and Qilan looked at each other, and both of them had the same idea in their hearts.
She wanted to take Bing Yuanqing in. It was extremely important to have a confidant in the harem, but what he said needed to be verified.
"It just so happens that I've been feeling a little unwell these past few days." Ning Yuzhen said, "Why don't you go over and check my pulse?"
Bing Yuanqing was still immersed in annoyance, regretting that he should not have been talking to a concubine in the harem for a long time, but he heard her say this, "Thank you for your trust, I wonder where your concubine lives? I will go back to the Imperial Hospital to get some things." .”
"My master is Xianfu Gongyi and Xuanning are always here. Don't go astray." Qilan said.
Hearing this, Bing Yuanqing was shocked. The woman in front of him was actually Ning Changzai. He had an inexplicable feeling that after today, his good luck would come.
"Yes, I will come as soon as I go."
After that, he changed his dejection just now, his steps became much more cheerful, and he hurried back to the Tai Hospital.
Ning Yuzhen returned to the Yihexuan and waited for a long time. When the sky outside was illuminated orange by the remaining sunlight, Bing Yuanqing's figure finally appeared at the door of the Yihexuan, but there seemed to be something wrong with his walking posture.
She glanced at it and didn't ask any more questions. You don't have to rush to ask about things that others don't want to say. People will naturally tell you what they want to say.
Bing Yuanqing took his pulse carefully and said: "My little master is a little weak. I will prescribe you a prescription to treat you for a month. Be careful not to touch anything cold on weekdays. Eat something warm and tonic. It will be good for your little one." It is good for the Lord’s body.”
Seeing the serious attitude of the other party, Ning Yuzhen was half satisfied. As for the rest, she planned to ask an imperial doctor to confirm it tomorrow, and it would not be too late to find a way to win over him.
After sending Bing Yuanqing away, Yi Cui gently pressed Ning Yuzhen's shoulder, "Does the young master want to train Bing Limu as a confidant?"
"If he has that ability, I will naturally think about it. If not, I won't mention it."
That night, the emperor summoned Xia Guiren, who arrived as promised in the early morning of the next day. Lianxiang went to the Taiyuan Hospital early and invited the imperial doctor on duty. The answers and prescriptions given to Ning Yuzhen were the same as those of Bing Yuanqing. Same.
Ning Yuzhen felt happy in her heart and sighed that her trip was really worth it.
Just as he was thinking about how to win over Bing Yuanqing, the eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice: "The Emperor is here!"
"Concubine, please give your regards to the emperor." Ning Yuzhen gathered her clothes and saluted Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng personally reached out to help her up and led her to sit down, "I heard that you asked the imperial doctor to come here this morning? But what's wrong with you?"
Yicui stepped forward to serve the tea, and Wei Cheng took a sip. His frown suddenly relaxed. He looked at the tea in the teacup with surprise and asked, "Is this made with snow water from plum blossoms? There is actually a plum fragrance."
Ning Yuzhen was worried about how to explain. After hearing this, she replied: "Your Majesty is knowledgeable. When I saw the sunshine outside yesterday, I wanted to go to the Plum Garden to collect some snow. When the Emperor came, I would use the snow water to make tea. After I came back, I always felt that my body was full of snow." I'm sorry, I asked the imperial doctor to check on me this morning. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see the Emperor today."
Wei Cheng raised his hand and stroked her head, and asked with a smile: "You have good intentions, so what's the harm in seeing me less? The days are long."
"I don't know how many years I can live in this life. Birth, old age, illness and death are normal in the world." Ning Yuzhen met Wei Cheng's gaze and said in a serious tone, "The emperor is not just a concubine. I can see the emperor more often. It’s just an extra joy. If God wants to take my concubine and leave tomorrow, I can see the emperor today and be willing to leave.”
What she said made even Wei Cheng stunned. Her sincerity could be recognized by heaven and earth.
The scale in Wei Cheng's heart gradually tilted. On one side was a woman who had equal access to rain and dew and had the power of the court, and on the other side was a woman who was as sincere as a mirror.
He took Ning Yuzhen into his arms, and the maids all retreated when they saw this.
"Don't say these words again. I understand what you mean. We Zhenzhen will live a long life."
Ning Yuzhen leaned in Wei Cheng's arms, listening to his heartbeat, but she didn't know that her own heart was beating faster than anyone else. With that sound, apart from her parents, the only other man to call her this way was Deng Xiuzhu from the Deng family. No rights.
