In the Yangxin Hall, there were still a few candlelights burning, and some dim light shone through the window paper.
When the guard on duty saw that she was coming, he saluted and opened the door for her.
Ruan Yuyi nodded slightly, without stopping, she crossed the threshold and entered the inner room.
I saw Jiang Huaiyang sitting on the edge of the bed with his knees half bent, leaning on the bedpost, holding a scroll in his hand, but his eyes were not on the book, but with his eyes half lowered, wondering what he was thinking.
The lights shone brightly in his eyes.
She paused, walked forward, took the book from his hand, and put it aside, "Your Majesty——"
No one announced when she came in, and he noticed her now. He raised his eyes and saw that the young lady's eyes were red and there were vague tears.
His eyes darkened slightly, and he pulled her over, "I didn't say anything, but you started crying first?" His words were unforgiving, but his hand still picked away the tears from her eyes.
She stayed still and allowed him to move.
The thin calluses of his fingertips brushed against her eyes, igniting a burning sensation. Someone cared about her happiness and anger, which made the tears even more intense.
She seemed to hear him sigh, and then a low voice came into her ears, "I'm not stupid. This is not your fault."
He was just too lazy to get involved in the twists and turns of the harem, but it didn't mean he didn't understand anything. This time, someone was obviously tampering behind the scenes. As for the purpose, it was nothing more than that.
"Don't think about it, eh? I will handle it."
Her heart moved slightly, but then she sank down. How could he handle it? After all, he had not caused any real harm. In order to perform this drama of a loving mother and a filial son in front of the people, that person was still unable to move.
She has experienced similar things a lot, and it is inevitable that she will have many thoughts on her mind.
Jiang Huaiyang didn't want her to think too much, so he lowered his head and kissed her eyes, feeling her dense eyelashes trembling slightly, bringing with him a numb and itchy feeling.
She lowered her eyes and said nothing.
He stared at it for a while, "Perhaps, I can also help Lingling implement this matter."
The hot breath he exhaled sprayed on the side of her neck. There was heat on the base of her ears, and even the snowy back slowly turned crimson.
He stretched out his long hand and lifted down the curtain.
.
But before Jiang Huaiyang could deal with the matter, the Queen Mother couldn't hold it any longer.
The next morning, Ruan Yuyi dressed up and went back to the palace. She saw an imperial doctor waiting in front of the palace gate, saying he was here to ask her for a safe pulse. Muxiang introduced the person into the room.
Because she had known that this unfamiliar imperial doctor was probably here to cause trouble, and the new emperor was already aware of the situation, she calmly watched him diagnose his pulse.
The imperial doctor adjusted his breath and checked his pulse several times, and every time he changed his hands, his lips would tighten a little.
After a long time, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Is your Majesty sure that the diagnosis last time was a happy pulse?"
She chuckled softly, picked up a candy on the jade plate, rolled it between her lips and teeth, and then pressed it under her tongue and said, "You weren't the one who came last time? The Queen Mother sent one person at a time, and everyone in this palace
Mixed up."
Her voice was soft and melodious, with a hint of sarcasm in it. Every word fell into the ears of the imperial doctor, sending chills down his spine.
He remembered the Queen Mother's instructions and thought that as long as the rope here was tightened, she would be helpless even though she knew it was a trick, so he continued to pretend, "The Queen Mother is joking, but it just so happens that the Queen Mother comes to the hospital to take turns to guard the situation."
"Really?" She said lightly, then stopped talking and continued to suck her candy.
The whole room was silent, only the faint sound of crackling charcoal fire could be heard. The imperial doctor was left aside, a little scared. I had only heard rumors about this person from Chang'an Palace in the past, but now I actually met him. I don't know if I am tolerant or not.
But it's not easy to handle either.
If this matter had been brought to Yan Baolin's head in the palace, people would have panicked.
"Empress, this..."
The candy in her mouth was round and warm. She was a little tired of eating it, so she took the handkerchief Mu Xiang handed her and wrapped the candy.
"I heard that Dr. Ning happened to be back today. Since you two are not sure about this, why not call Dr. Ning to come and take a look."
The imperial doctor in front of him had a slightly strange look on his face. Imperial Physician Ning was nearly a decade younger than him, but ranked above him. He was already unhappy, and now he was even more unhappy when he heard that his medical skills were being doubted.
After hearing this, Cen Li, who was on the side, had already taken the order and went to the Imperial Hospital.
The imperial doctor knelt in the huge hall, feeling a little uneasy for no reason. After thinking that this pulse diagnosis was indeed a real situation, he calmed down a little.
Not long after, Ning He arrived in a hurry, said hello, and also came forward to diagnose Ruan Yuyi's pulse.
But this time it was faster. He only felt the pulse. After a while, he withdrew his hand and hid it half under his sleeve. "My dear, it is indeed a happy pulse."
A single sentence can stir up thousands of waves like pebbles in a lake.
Another imperial doctor said, "Impossible!"
Ning He glanced at him with a distant expression, "Mr. Zhang has been very busy recently, and I'm afraid he is tired. Your Majesty is considerate, so Dr. Zhang went home to rest."
Doctor Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that Your Majesty knew that the Queen Mother was doing something behind his back, so this break would probably come to nothing.
He lowered his head even more, only daring to cast his gaze on the ground, regretting in his heart that he had helped the Queen Mother.
And Ning He said this, it was indeed the new emperor's instruction.
Not to mention Dr. Zhang, Ruan Yuyi was very surprised. She still knew how she was doing.
She curled her fingers and rubbed her throbbing temples with her knuckles. Muxiang noticed that she seemed tired, so she led the two imperial doctors out.
Later I heard that not only the imperial physician Zhang, but also the imperial physician who diagnosed her pulse last time, as well as the old nun who had been with the Queen Mother for many years, were all sent out of the palace for some reason.
She just listened to it as a story and let it go. After all, it was really complicated with people coming and going in the palace.
.
As soon as Dr. Zhang returned to the hospital, what happened here was immediately reported to the ears of the Queen Mother.
The Cining Palace, without Bai Zhiqi who was always by the Queen Mother's side, was much deserted. Everyone in the palace lowered their voices, held their breaths, and looked solemn, for fear that they would become the fish in the pond that would be affected.
The Queen Mother's face was even more serious than usual, and the wrinkles on her face were almost tangled together.
Only the old nun beside her dared to come forward and say a word or two, "Mom, please calm down. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another time. You won't lose anything at all. I just don't think that Concubine Jin is also capable, so she will directly kill her."
This matter is confirmed.”
The Queen Mother looked calm and just listened.
She didn't know that the nanny was not here just now. But Dr. Zhang had reported Ruan Yuyi's situation, and she was sure that he would not hide anything about it. So Dr. Ning dared to say this, unless that person gave him permission.
He was determined to protect her, so the Queen Mother had no choice but to do anything.
She has been ups and downs all her life, and she knows very well what is most important in this palace. No matter what family background and power, they will be dwarfed in front of the Holy Grace.
"Go and change the clock for something warmer." She handed the half-cold teacup in her hand to her grandma.
