After Zhi Guiren returned to Lanyuan Pavilion, he rested in his palace for several days. After a heavy snowfall that day, the sun had been shining for several days, and it was the coldest when the snow melted. Zhi Guiren suddenly fell ill.

Ah Xun knew that not only was she in poor health, but she was also under great pressure. After all, she didn’t know what Lu Huiling was going to do. What if something unexpected happened at the New Year’s Eve family dinner because of her?

But Zhi Guiren then thought about it. If the matter was really that simple, Lu Huiling would not come to him specifically to do this. However... if it was because of her doing this, Lu Huiling would be willing to help him.

If your family is out of danger, even death is worth it.

"Tit for tit." Zhi Guiren leaned on the bed with a pale face, his body was hot and weak, his lips were white and bloodless, and there was a wet towel on his forehead, which Ah Xun put on to cool down.

As a low-ranking concubine, Lady Zhi was feeling unwell. She asked the imperial physician to take a look at her. He only hurriedly prescribed a few pills and asked Ah Xun to boil them for Lady Zhi on time.

Ah Xun was so angry that he poured snow piled up at the door while holding his breath, and complained viciously that the imperial doctor looked down on others and did not treat lower-ranking concubines as human beings.

Zhi Guiren was lying in the room, vaguely hearing Ah Xun defending her against the injustice. She felt very helpless and even more desolate. The world was in a hot and cold world, and the palace clearly described this coldness.

The New Year is approaching, and the imperial doctors go to the high-ranking concubines every day to ask for safe pulses, for fear that something will happen to them this winter, but now the sick concubine, who is indeed in trouble, is right in front of them, but they turn a blind eye, but

Just because there is no grass growing in Lanyuan Pavilion, they can't get any benefit from it.

Zhi Guiren was lying on the bed, his body was tired and weak, as if he was about to fall asleep when he closed his eyes in the next second.

The charcoal fire in the palace was weak, and Mr. Zhi kept shouting that it was cold. Ah Xun did not dare to add more. The charcoal provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Lanyuan Pavilion was limited. If more charcoal was added today just to keep warm, it might be necessary to force the fire in a few days.

The resistance passed away.

Zhi Guiren was ill and unconscious. She was sweating and trembling all the time. The temples on her forehead were firmly stuck to her face with sweat. She kept saying: "It's so cold... it's cold... it's so cold..."

Ah Xun felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, so he had to add a few more incense burners and fill the room with incense burners. However, how could there be more incense burners? They had no other use than choking people.

There was no choice but to bring out a few more quilts. The heavy quilts made Nobleman Zhi unable to breathe. Ah Xun held Nobleman Zhi's hand, his eyes red from crying: "Nobleman, you must hold on!"

Ah Xun felt very sorry for Lady Zhi and didn't want her to die so early. Seeing her like this, he kept crying secretly. There were no other palace maids and eunuchs in Lanyuan Pavilion, except for a few who cleaned the courtyard.

, only Ah Xun was left.

Ah Xun did all the cooking, laundry, etc., but she had no complaints. She accompanied Lord Zhe to the palace together, and they had grown up together, so naturally they were of the same mind.

Ah Xun was simmering the medicine while wiping her tears. The smoky smoke went straight into her eyes. She felt extremely miserable. In the past, in the Yin Mansion, the Qianhu adults had not gotten into the bad habit of gambling. Although their lives were not special.

It was good, but it was still considered well-off. As for a little maid named Ah Xun, she had never done such menial work as washing clothes, cooking medicine, and cleaning the courtyard.

Azun held Guiren Zhi's hand, and lay her head down on Guiren Zhi's bed, crying bitterly. Guiren Zhi raised his hand and touched her head, and with difficulty pulled out a weak smile: "Axun, don't cry..."

Ah Xun was still sobbing and sobbing. She wiped away her tears, looked at the unconscious Zhi Guiren, and said: "My lord... why don't you let me go find Concubine Ming? She still has something she needs you to do for her."

, will definitely save you, can you ask her to find the imperial doctor to save you?"

Although Zhi Guiren was unconscious, when he heard these words, he unconsciously grabbed Ah Xun's hand, shook his head hurriedly, frowned and closed his eyes, and two lines of clear tears flowed from the corners of his eyes into the ends of his hair.

"Don't...don't go to Concubine Ming..." The pride in Zhi Guiren's heart began to trouble her again. If she troubled Lu Huiling again and again, she might not be able to repay the favor she owed her in this life.

She never wanted to see Lu Huiling's disdainful eyes again, never again.

"But my lord... You won't be able to hold on if you continue like this... I have been to the imperial hospital several times, but apart from getting a few more packets of medicine, no imperial doctor is willing to see you anymore... If Concubine Ming is willing to come forward, you

Your illness will be cured soon... Noble sir... please allow me to go!"

Ah Xun herself was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe. Seeing the look of Lord Zhi, she felt really uncomfortable. Ah Xun didn't understand why they were all concubines in the palace. Why was there such a big difference in treatment? Yichun Palace Minghua Hall

, every day the imperial doctors would line up to go in and take the pulse. If they felt slightly uncomfortable, they would be consulted by the academicians. But with the crowd in Lanyuan Pavilion, it was difficult to even ask a medical officer to take the pulse.

"Don't...Axun...don't go." The strength in Zhi Guiren's hands slowly became smaller and smaller. She knew that her body was not entirely due to cold and fever, but more of it was due to psychological reasons. She was under too much pressure.

She didn't want to wake up herself.

"Axun... don't let everyone know now... what happened between me and Concubine Ming... If you go to see Concubine Ming so rashly, something bad will happen..." Zhi Guiren said these words with all her strength, and she could no longer catch her.

I can't hold Ah Xun's hand anymore.

Zhi Guiren's hand slowly loosened and dropped. Ah Xun quickly grabbed her hand, clasped his hands and put them on her chest. Zhi Guiren still whispered softly: "A Xun... don't go..."

Thinking about it like this, it feels like I'm about to fall asleep again.

After Ah Xun heard what she said, he would naturally know which one was more important. Concubine Ming could save the Yin family and the children, but Gui Ren only wanted to save the children of the Yin family. If it was because of her that he went to Concubine Ming to save his life.

And if her whereabouts were exposed, Zhi Guiren might be worse off than dead when she woke up. Her tears fell on Zhi Guiren's hands, one drop after another.

As if he had a belief in his heart, Zhi Guiren slept like this for two days. After drinking Ah Xun Jian's medicine, most of his illness was cured. When Ah Xun found out, he burst into laughter and kept mumbling about it all day long.

God bless.

"My lord, if you rest for two more days, your illness will be completely cured." Azun said happily while giving Mr. Zhi stomach medicine.

In this way, you can live a good and healthy New Year. When Ah Xun passed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he saw someone setting up fireworks there. I thought that on New Year’s Eve this year, the fireworks in the sky would be beautiful!

Zhi Guiren took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, then asked: "Is there any movement over there, daddy?"

I think the investigation and verdict will come out in the next few days, but Zhi Guiren himself has not had time to do things for Lu Huiling due to physical reasons, and he is a little worried that Lu Huiling will go back on his word.

Ah Xun knew that Zhi Gui was worried about this matter, so he inquired about it early: "The master said that Prime Minister Lu quietly made up for the shortfall for him, but as the official responsible for collecting grain, grass and donations, the money was embezzled.

He had neglected his duties first, so he had to be dismissed from his official position. Concubine Ming also gave the family a sum of money and asked them to return to Jingzhou. She also specially issued an order to tell the master not to gamble anymore. I think everything will be fine at home. Listen.

It is said that all the other colleagues who embezzled with me were exiled and executed... If the amount of money I embezzled was based on, I'm afraid..."

Ah Xun couldn't say any more.

"No one discovered it, right?" Zhi Guiren said worriedly.

Ah Xun shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, noble sir. Prime Minister Lu covers the sky with one hand, and with Concubine Ming's presence, no one will find out about this."

Zhi Guiren couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and tears fell unconsciously.

"Why are you crying again?" Ah Xun quickly put down the medicine bowl and stepped forward to wipe the tears from her eyes.

"No, no, I'm happy." Zhi Guiren cried with joy, "Father and mother are finally saved, and they can return to Jingzhou to take good care of themselves in old age. I'm happy."

"Yes!" Ah Xun also sighed, "I really didn't expect that Concubine Ming could solve the problem that we couldn't solve with all our efforts, just by saying a few words. It's different to have a father who is the prime minister.

!”

Zhi Guiren's face slowly fell, and his expression became a little dull.

"My lord...are you unhappy? I said the wrong thing, I won't say it anymore!" Ah Xun has been with the noble Zhi for so long, and he also knows her temper. He knows that she is naturally arrogant and conceited.

But the reality is that she is unknown...

"No..." Zhi Guiren shook his head and sighed. After being silent for a while, he said to Ah Xun, "Please dress up for me."

"Where are you going, noble man?" Ah Xun asked in surprise. He was obviously in good health, so where were he going now?

"If you catch a cold again on the road, it will be harder to recover from your illness!" Ah Xun persuaded Mr. Zhi, holding him down as he was about to get up and out of bed.

"Since Concubine Ming settled this matter for my father within a few days according to the original agreement, then I will also abide by my promise and complete what I promised her."

Ah Xun knew that Mr. Zhe had always had a stubborn temper. If he kept persuading her not to go, he would be wasting his words. If so, he might as well just listen to her and do it.

In this way, Ah Xun sighed, took the medicine bowl and walked out. When he came in, he brought a basin of hot water to wash and scrub the face of Lord Zhe, and then called the maids to boil water for Lord Zhe.

Take a bath and wash away the pain and worries of the whole winter.

After finishing washing up, Ah Xun accompanied Mr. Zhi to the Yichun Palace to meet Concubine Mei.
