Chapter 248: The Empress Dowager Recognizes Murong Xi
When the old man saw Murong Xi back, he asked with a smile: "What good things did you get today?"
Of course he has not forgotten that the last time this girl came to him in a hurry, she used some herbs and heron grass to get together. After taking the pills she made, he felt a lot younger. Just a few pills were very effective.
It was precious. He originally wanted to keep it and not take it again, but he was afraid that this girl would see it and just took it all. When Murong Xi came in, he noticed that his hair had become black and shiny, but he didn't say anything about it.
If he hadn't taken it, this ghost girl would have noticed right away.
"Haha, look at it, old man." Murong Xi threw the porcelain bottle to the old man.
The old man opened the lid and smelled it, and said in great surprise: "Detoxification pills? You actually have Orchid Youcao in your hand?"
Murong Xi nodded and said, "Do you want it? You can have as much as you want." Murong Xi planted a lot of them in the flower garden of Ningxi Palace. After picking them, they were dried and ground into powder.
"What? How many do you want? I want ten flowers, not twenty." The old man quickly changed his mind.
Murong Xi saw that the old man acted like a child, so he took out the medicine bottle. He had just used half of the powder, but now there was still half left in the bottle, which was twice as much as the old man asked for.
After throwing it to the old man, he said: "Here, I ground the orchid grass into medicinal powder. You can't make it into a flower now."
When the old man heard this, he opened it and took a look. I dropped it, and the orchids were ground into powder. There should be at least fifty of them.
The old man's eyes were shining brightly, and he said to Murong Xi: "Where did you pick it from?" You must know that he has never encountered so many orchid grasses.
"I grew them. Old man, if you want fresh ones in the future, I will send you some when they are mature." Murong Xi said with a smile.
"You girl, you are really powerful." The old man put away the medicine bottle with a smile, but returned the medicine bottle containing the detoxification pills to Murong Xi.
Murong Xi took the medicine bottle and said, "I have five pills in this bottle, which I prepared for you."
The old man was a little moved, but he said: "I don't need it, you can just keep it for yourself."
"Okay then." Murong Xi put away the medicine bottle and winked at Mo'er. Mo'er understood immediately and went out to look for the small medicine bottle. Since the old man didn't want it, Murong Xi had to keep it for him no matter what.
The next two are the ones.
"Just in time, old man, I have something to ask you. Are you the Princess Jingruo who fell into the water in Yunzhou?" The old man said straight to the point without being pretentious.
"Ahem, did you guess it?" Murong Xi coughed slightly and said sheepishly.
"Well, you ask the shopkeeper to call you Miss Mu, and then tell me that you are out on business. Then something happened to a princess in Yunzhou, and the surname of the Linfeng royal family was Murong. No matter how stupid the old man is, he should have thought of it. And
, you are always elusive. I can also see that you have a mask on your face, so no matter what time you come here, it is not the real you. Fortunately, you are okay. I heard that you were rescued after falling into the water.
After that, you can go back to the palace by yourself?" the old man said slowly.
"Well, old man, actually, the princess who returned to the palace was not me. Someone pretended to be me and came back to the palace. I only found out after the fact." Murong Xi explained.
"What? Someone pretended to be you and entered the palace? Why don't you explain the situation to the emperor? You can't wander outside. Otherwise, you might as well stay in a hospital first." The old man said with some distress.
"Father, he knows that things in the palace are a bit complicated. When the time is right, I will go back." Murong Xi said with a smile.
"That's good. If you don't have a place to live, come to the hospital. Now you are the little master here." The old man said slowly.
In fact, Murong Xi was very touched. The old man was very kind to her. At that moment, she made a decision and said slowly: "Old man, didn't you say that I wear a mask every time I come here? Then I'll let you see
The real me."
After Murong Xi finished speaking, he took off the disguise on his face. When he turned around, the old man was stunned. A beautiful woman stood in front of him, which shocked the old man. This face
, it looks even more beautiful than the one just now, mainly because it makes people feel that this person has stepped out of the painting. However, the prerequisite is that this girl does not open her mouth to speak.
No wonder the maid next to her said this girl was beautiful, she really was.
Not to mention, she looks like a woman he saved.
"Old man?" Murong Xi looked at the stunned old man and felt a little funny.
"Emma, I was scared by you twice today." The old man rolled his eyes and said.
"Oh, I'm not a Yaksha, so what should I be afraid of?" Murong Xi rolled his eyes and said.
"You are more terrifying than Yaksha. With your appearance, the young men in the capital will have their thoughts set on you, right?" the old man asked.
"They don't know what I look like. When I returned to the palace, I also changed my appearance. So, not many people know what I look like." Murong Xi explained.
"This will give me a psychological balance." The old man said, stroking his chest.
"She really looks like a child." Murong Xi shook his head and said.
"Girl, what should I call you?" the old man asked seriously.
"Old man, my name is Murong Xi." Murong Xi said with a smile.
"Girl, ever since I guessed that you were the princess, I have understood why your medical skills are so good. I have also heard about Princess Jingruo returning to the palace, and she was kidnapped right after she was born. Fifteen
It took me 15 years to find you back. You must have suffered a lot in the past fifteen years." The old man said with emotion.
What Murong Xi actually wanted to say was that her imperial uncle was very good to her and she really had not suffered. Moreover, she often made Zhuangzi agitated. Is there a shortage of money? The emperor's uncle gave her pocket money every time.
, she couldn’t even spend it. Because she also earned money herself, and besides, she had no chance to spend it. Everything she wore on her body and hair was bought by her mother, and she needed to spend money to buy it. Especially,
, she doesn’t like those hairpins, rouge, etc. So, the money can’t be spent even more.
"Actually, I didn't suffer much when I was young." Murong Xi told the truth.
Unfortunately, the old man obviously didn't believe it. After saying a few words to her, Mo'er came back. He took out a medicine bottle that was smaller than before. Murong Xi opened the bottle of detoxification pills, took out two pills and poured them in.
He put this small medicine bottle on the table secretly, and said: "Old man, I have something urgent to do. I will leave now and see you another day."
At this time, Murong Xi had restored her beautiful appearance and took Mo'er out of the hospital.
After Murong Xi left, the old man found the small medicine bottle lying aside. He opened it, smelled it, and shook his head helplessly. Knowing that this girl felt sorry for him, he had no choice but to put two detoxification pills into his arms.
"Xier, why have you been gone for so long?" Feng Mingye heard the noise and hurried out to pick her up.
"I told the old man something. By the way, this pill is the pill I made today. Guess what this pill does?" Murong Xi said very happily.
"Could it be poison that melts in the mouth? Could it be that after eating it?
Die immediately?" Feng Mingye picked up the medicine bottle and smelled it and said.
Actually, he wasn't sure that the medicine looked like poison, because it smelled very fragrant.
Murong Xi took out one and stuffed it into Feng Mingye's mouth. Feng Mingye swallowed it without thinking.
"Haha, these are detoxification pills. After taking one, you will be immune to all poisons." Murong Xi said with a smile.
"Well, I believe in Xi'er. Even if what you feed me is poison, I'll be happy with it." Feng Mingye opened her mouth.
Murong Xi said: "You can say sweet words very smoothly."
"Hey, it's almost time for dinner. Come in and rest for a while." Feng Mingye said distressedly.
"I know." Murong Xi went in and changed her clothes. Dinner was basically ready.
After having dinner, the two of them set off to the palace.
This time, these two people sneaked into the Queen Mother's bedroom. Because Aunt Xiangrong had arranged for her early in the morning and told them not to come in to wait on her, so she was the only one in the bedroom.
"Miss Nishang, you are here. I will grind the mung beans into powder now, and you can give the Queen Mother acupuncture." After finishing speaking, Grandma Xiangrong left the bedroom.
Feng Mingye also followed in and stood by. After Murong Xi's acupuncture today, the water seeping out of Murong Xi's back was no longer as yellow as yesterday. Moreover, the vomited blood was also bright red. Murong Xi nodded.
Then he put on clothes for the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother smiled slightly, looking a little weak. Aunt Xiangrong brought the mung bean soup over, and the Queen Mother drank it.
At this time, the Queen Mother said: "Xier, you are Xi'er, right?"
Murong Xi was startled, not expecting to guess that it was her, then she turned around and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is joking, the common girl is Nishang, not Princess Xi as you mentioned."
"Queen Mother, do you miss Princess Xi? Can I ask her to come over to pay your respects tomorrow?" Xiang Rong said distressedly.
Your Highness the Princess did not do this properly. She has been back in the palace for so long and has not come to see the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is very good to Princess Xi, and Princess Xi does not look like a white-eyed wolf. However, how to explain this?
Woolen cloth?
"Don't follow me. She is my Xi'er. She smells the same as Xi'er. Moreover, the one in the palace is definitely not my Xi'er." The Queen Mother said with certainty.
Emma, yes, she has a special smell. Fortunately, she is not too close to Concubine Shu, otherwise she would have smelled it. I remember that the last time I gave petals to Concubine Shu, I specifically mentioned the smell. Look.
Come on, she needs to sprinkle some medicinal powder on herself to cover up the fragrance on her body.
Murong Xi's faces came together, and then he said in a very low voice: "Grandma Huang, you are really amazing."
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes with a smile, and then said: "I felt very familiar last night, but yesterday I was groggy, and I was afraid that I had recognized the wrong person. Today I am very awake, so I recognized it all at once.
Come out."
"Royal Grandmother, please don't say you have seen me. Don't worry, my father knows about this. When I heard that you were poisoned, Xi'er immediately came to diagnose and treat you. The poison still in your body would have been discovered earlier. If it had been too late,
If I kill you, your body will be ruined." Murong Xi said quietly.
At this time, Grandma Rong's mouth was not closed. The girl in colorful clothes in front of her was actually Princess Xi? Moreover, Princess Xi's medical skills were so good that even the imperial doctor could not diagnose the disease, and the princess would be poisoned in just a few strokes
Got it?
"Nanny Xiangrong, please don't say you're showing your mouth." Murong Xi said with a smile.
"Ahem, this slave knows." Grandma Xiangrong seemed shocked.
