Wen Ruyan's guess was good, but it was not in the future, but at this moment...
When Wu returned to Taxuexuan, she almost fainted, because the people from Yikun Palace were bringing over the Buddhist scriptures that Nian asked her to copy. It wasn't just a few books or a few piles, but a whole box. I don't know.
Where did Nian collect it and deliver it so quickly?
"You... how can I copy all the scriptures with so many scriptures!" Mrs. Wu angrily glared at Yingchun who brought the scriptures.
Yingchun said with an innocent face: "I'm just following orders. If you have any questions, you can talk to your concubine."
When she heard that she was going to talk to Nian, Wu immediately became weak. It turned out that she only dared to speak out against Nian because she had the support of the queen. Little did she know that Nian was so strong that she could even contradict the queen's words.
"If you have no other questions, noble man, I will take my leave first." Yingchun leaned forward to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said: "I almost forgot to tell you, my queen, I will need these Buddhist scriptures in ten days. Please return them."
Noble man, please don’t waste your time.”
When Wu heard this, he was dumbfounded and said repeatedly: "Ten days? How can this be done?"
Yingchun's smile was still authentic and she said: "My slave is still saying the same thing. If you have any questions, you can directly talk to your concubine. I am just a messenger."
Yingchun left, leaving Mrs. Wu crying in front of a large box full of Buddhist scriptures. She wanted to slap herself twice, but it was too late to say anything now.
It is said that after receiving Nala's permission, Nian did not go directly to Xinuang Pavilion. Instead, he ordered someone to ask for Dr. Deng first, and then went to Xinuang Pavilion with him.
Hong Sheng was reading in the Nuan Pavilion, with a plate of delicate snacks beside him. When he saw Nian coming in, he was so happy that he jumped out of his chair and ran to Nian, saying cheerfully: "Eniang, how could you do this?"
Come here?”
"Eniang is here to see you." Nian looked at her only son fondly, "How are you memorizing the book?"
"It's still a bit short, but I will seize the time to recite it." Hong Sheng said with full confidence. He believed that he would definitely pass Huang Ama's test in a few days.
"Hey, what is Dr. Deng doing here?" It was only then that Hong Sheng noticed that Dr. Deng was also here.
Nian's eyes flashed slightly, and in a flash she was back to her original state. She stroked Hong Sheng's shoulder and said earnestly: "Eniang knows that you have worked hard in studying, and she was afraid that you might be injured without even realizing it, so she brought Dr. Deng here to take your pulse."
"My son is fine. He is in good health. There is no need to check his pulse." Hong Sheng said disapprovingly.
Nian, who had always been patient with him, was extremely insistent this time and insisted on Dr. Deng taking his pulse. Hong Sheng had no choice but to comply with her wishes. After careful examination, Dr. Deng stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My dear concubine, please rest assured, San'a."
Everything is fine, there is nothing wrong with me."
Ever since Hongsheng was brought to Kunning Palace, Nian had been worried that the Nala family would be harmful to Hongsheng, so she took advantage of the opportunity she got today to ask Dr. Deng to take Hongsheng's pulse.
"Has Dr. Deng checked everything? Is Hong Sheng okay?" Even after getting a positive answer from Dr. Deng, Nian was still a little uneasy because Hong Sheng was her lifeblood. And she didn't believe that Nala would
It’s so good not to harm Hong Sheng.
Seeing that Nian doubted his medical skills, Imperial Physician Deng was a little unhappy. He did not dare to reveal Nian's identity, but his voice was slightly stiff.
Is there any truth in what I said?"
When Nian heard this, she also realized that her question was wrong. Before she could speak, Lu Yi next to her had already taken over the words: "Mr. Deng has misunderstood. The master just cares too much about the third elder brother, so he wanted to confirm more."
That's all." At the same time, he secretly stuffed an ingot of five taels of gold into Doctor Deng's hand. With the heavy gold in his hand, Doctor Deng's face naturally looked better.
Nian also said tactfully: "I made a mistake, please don't take it seriously. Besides, although there are many doctors in this palace, I can only trust Dr. Deng. How can I doubt Dr. Deng?"
What a lie!"
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. There's still something to do in the hospital. I'll take my leave first." Dr. Deng bowed his hand. Since Nian had already spoken about this and given himself enough face, Dr. Deng wouldn't be so ignorant as to take advantage of it.
Don't let go of that thing.
"Doctor Deng, walk slowly." After watching Dr. Deng leave, Nian asked with some worry: "Hongsheng, do you really feel nothing uncomfortable?"
"My son is really good." Hong Sheng was a little bit dumbfounded by Nian's worries, but he also knew that Nian was doing it for his own good, so he said: "I was really dizzy the past few days, and then the Queen asked someone to go there.
I picked the morning dew to make tea for my son. After he drank it, he felt really energetic."
As soon as he heard Nala's name, Nian immediately became nervous again. He asked around and confirmed countless times before reluctantly letting go of his doubts. However, he still told Hongsheng to be careful in everything and not to trust anyone.
At night, while taking off her makeup, Ling Ruo asked Kang Hai, "Did the Emperor still turn over Nian Guifei's brand tonight?"
"Master, I haven't turned over the cards of any of the emperor's empresses tonight, and are resting alone in the Yangxin Hall." Kang Hai replied respectfully.
Ling Ruo nodded slightly and continued the action of removing makeup. After a while, the woman in the mirror had taken off all her ornaments and rouge, revealing a pure and elegant face. She got up and put on pajamas made of plain brocade.
After Shuixiu and others helped Ling Ruo sleep, they lowered the curtain and retreated. As for the candles in the bedroom, only a small one was still on, and the rest were extinguished.
Ling Ruo lay on the bed for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of the palace door opening, and then heard a slight sound of footsteps walking towards her. It didn't sound like the footsteps of Shuixiu and the others, but something like...
Her heart moved, and she lay down facing inward. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then there was the sound of the curtain being opened again. The footsteps stopped nearby, and then Ling Ruo felt the bed sink, and someone sat down.
His palms, which were slightly cold at night, caressed half of her face. Ling Ruo's eyelids twitched slightly, but they refused to open.
This subtle change of hers did not escape Yinzhen's eyes. He chuckled and flicked her forehead, "You girl, you are obviously awake but you are pretending to be asleep. You know this is the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Seeing that he was discovered, Ling Ruo had no choice but to turn over and sit up, looking at Yinzhen who was close at hand and said slyly: "Even if I pretend to be asleep, but the emperor has never revealed his identity, how can you say that I am deceiving you?"
"You do know how to find fault with me." Yinzhen gently scratched Ling Ruo's nose with a gentle smile on his lips.
