Seven hundred and eighty seventh chapter old friend gone
Ling Ruo also knew this truth and was not overly polite to him, "Then everything is troublesome, Imperial Physician Xu. I wonder how the preparations for the medicinal materials are going?"
"Don't worry, Madam, everything is ready." With Rong Yuan's answer, Ling Ruo naturally had no doubts. He immediately ordered the palace servants to boil water, then cleaned up the inner hall and filled it with water as it was in Yikun Palace yesterday.
Light a fire, but naturally Rong Yuan cannot be inside, leaving Jingxue to look after it.
Ling Ruo took off her clothes and stepped into the barrel. The high water temperature made her take a breath of cold air. It also became a little difficult to step in with the other foot. She could even feel that her skin was rapidly turning red.
.
Jingxue poured some water and said, "Mom, please be patient. This is the only way to get rid of the poison that has penetrated your body. However, you are not as poisoned as Third Brother. Soaking it for half an hour will be enough."
"I know." Ling Ruo gritted his teeth, stepped in with the other foot, and then slowly sat down, with only one head exposed. Soon, the sweat on his forehead kept falling like rain, and
As time went by, the water in the bucket began to slowly turn black and had a fishy smell.
Jingxue always paid attention to the temperature of the water, and asked Shui Xiu and Shui Yue to add firewood and fire from time to time. It kept steaming for half an hour, and then he helped Ling Ruo up and signaled that she was ready.
Ling Ruo opened her eyes, let out a long breath and said, "It's finally better. I almost thought I was going to be steamed."
"Your Majesty, you are just kidding me. Folk girls don't dare to harm your Majesty." Jingxue smiled slightly and was about to wipe the water off Ling Ruo's body. Ling Ruo already said: "Just leave these things to Shuixiu and the others. Although you are already
She is not a princess, but in the hearts of the emperor and this palace, she will always be a golden branch and jade leaf."
Jingxue didn't force it, she just said: "Whether it's a golden branch or a commoner, the most important thing is that you feel happy."
Ling Ruo understood what she meant, "You can keep the clouds clear and the moon shine, and I am happy for you." Speaking of this, Ling Ruo suddenly remembered something, "Yesterday when we were in Yikun Palace, you said that you had been in the Western Regions
Have you met anyone nearby who was poisoned by the Red Lady?"
Seeing Jingxue nodding, she hurriedly said: "Then when you came all the way over there, did you encounter a royal send-off team?"
Jingxue thought about it carefully and said, "I didn't pay attention to this civilian daughter, but I guess she didn't. What's wrong? Which clan daughter is getting married?"
Ling Ruo was a little disappointed when she didn't find out about Han Yan. She shook her head and said, "She's not the eldest daughter, but Princess Jingyue, the daughter of Concubine Hui. She married Zhun Geer years ago. Later, Zhun Geer broke her promise and suddenly sent troops to attack.
I have no news about the whereabouts of Princess Jingyue in the Qing Dynasty. I wonder if she has reached Jungar safely."
Jingxue frowned and said rather strangely: "How could the emperor agree to Han Yan's marriage? He never talked about the principle of being a direct princess and marrying the Fan Kingdom."
"The emperor didn't know, but Jungar had originally specified that he wanted to marry the princess directly, and there was a war in Qinghai, so the emperor had no choice but to agree. Unexpectedly, Jungar's Khan King Galdan was so ambitious that he had no intention of fighting with him.
The Qing Dynasty wanted to make peace with her, and took advantage of Han Yan's marriage and the court to relax its vigilance, and suddenly sent troops. Now that the Qing Dynasty has cut off contact with Jungar, there is no way to learn about the princess."
"I didn't expect that Concubine Hui and Han Yan were so miserable." Jingxue sighed, feeling very sympathetic. Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a bit gloomy, Shui Xiu, who was changing Ling Ruo's clothes, said: "Princess Jingyue is so blessed, she must not be
Something has happened, master and princess, don’t worry too much.”
"I hope so." Ling Ruo sighed softly. After she was fully dressed and removed the barrel, Rong Yuan came in with a bowl of medicine and said, "Please drink the medicine, my lady."
Ling Ruo took it and drank it, then frowned and said, "This medicine is so bitter. It makes people's tongue numb after drinking it."
Rong Yuan explained: "This medicine contains not only antidote herbs but also other poisons used to neutralize the poison. Based on the poison the empress has been exposed to, it is estimated that the common people will need to drink it for ten more days to get rid of it."
Thinking of having to drink such bitter medicine for the next ten days, Ling Ruo was helpless, but she also knew that there was nothing she could do about it. She signaled Rong Yuan and the two of them to get off and then asked: "You will stay in the capital from now on.
No more traveling?"
"Well, the common people are planning to reopen the medicine hall so that they can make a living." Regarding Rong Yuan's answer, Ling Ruo was not too surprised and only said: "On the day the medicine hall reopens, I will definitely send you a congratulatory gift."
"The common people are here to thank the empress in advance." Seeing Rong Yuan's calm and indifferent look, Ling Ruo nodded secretly. She understood that this time Rong Yuan had completely let go of his past attachments and was reborn. "I hope the empress can survive this ordeal."
Later, you can turn misfortune into good fortune, and be able to turn misfortune into good fortune.
It wasn't until Rong Yuan and Jing Xue left Chengqian Palace that Shuixiu asked the doubts she had been holding in her heart, "Master, why don't you persuade Dr. Xu to return to the Imperial Hospital? In this way, you can have a trustworthy person by your side. That
Doctor Liu is unreliable."
Ling Ruo smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know what you are talking about. It's just that the emperor may not allow it. After all, I and Dr. Xu have always had a history. Secondly, it's hard for Dr. Xu to live the life he wants.
, I can no longer be so selfish."
Let everything be in the past, no longer persist, no longer pursue, as long as... everything is fine with my old friend.
Come to think of it, this is also Rong Yuan's wish.
"But there is no trustworthy imperial physician around, what should you do?" Shui Xiu has been with Ling Ruo for more than ten or twenty years, and has long been accustomed to planning everything for Ling Ruo.
Ling Ruo took the round fan, patted Shuixiu's head lightly, and said with relief: "Why are you so worried? There is more than one person named Liu in Taiyuan Hospital, and they can always find someone who is honest and trustworthy. As for Liu Hua...
...If used properly, it may not be a good chess piece. Now, go bring me a bowl of bird's nest porridge, I'm a little hungry."
After Shui Xiu went down, Ling Ruo felt a little weak, thinking it was caused by the detoxification just now, so she leaned against the back of the chair and closed her eyes to rest. After an unknown period of time, she heard footsteps coming in. She knew it was Shui Xiu, so she said: "
Put it on the table, I will eat it later."
After waiting for a while, I didn't hear Shuixiu's response, but I heard a deep male voice, "Are you tired?"
This voice... Ling Ruo suddenly opened her eyes, and she saw Yinzhen standing in front of her. She quickly stood up, but before he could salute, Yinzhen had already waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I didn't come here specifically to see you salute.
"
Listening to Yinzhen's slightly indifferent voice, Ling Ruo didn't know what to do for a moment, so she had to stand quietly aside, anxiously speculating on Yinzhen's intention of coming today.
But after Yinzhen sat down, he looked at Ling Ruo and said, "Doctor Xu has been here? How can I say that all the poison in the body has been driven out?"
Ling Ruo hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have already been here. Doctor Xu said that as long as you take the medicine for another ten days, you will be fine."
Yinzhen's eyes relaxed, he nodded and said, "It's fine as long as it's okay."
After such a short conversation, Chengqian Palace fell into silence again. It was really a great sadness that the person he was supposed to be the most familiar with could not find words to say.
