When Bian Xiao took Ye Siying into the palace and paid homage to the emperor in the study, the latter thought he had recognized the wrong person.
After clearing his throat, he ordered someone to serve Bian Xiao a cup of tea: "Fourth brother, the main reason I called you here today is to ask about your marriage."
Bian Xiao felt that this was a good opportunity to directly reveal to the emperor that he had no interest in He Yanyan, so he took Ye Siying's hand and began to show affection in front of the emperor:
"Brother Imperial, Brother Chen and Yingying have known each other since they were young. They have been in love since childhood. Ever since Yingying made a big fuss about her wedding, Brother Chen has always felt that he can't help her, so he wants to take this opportunity to make up for it.
she."
Looking at Bian Xiao's hypocritical smile, the emperor is not a fool——
Bian Xiao, the reason why you can take the position of regent is because the late emperor saw that you were decisive in killing and far-sighted, so he could fall in love with such a young woman?
On your wedding day, I already found it strange that you didn't kill this woman after the wedding. Now you actually want to marry her?
After taking a deep breath, the emperor changed his target to Ye Siying: "I heard that Miss Ye often played with her fourth brother when she was a child. I guess they must be childhood sweethearts?"
"Returning to the emperor," Ye Siying said after saluting, "after the wet nurse entered the palace, she became a concubine in the third year. I have always respected the king as an eldest brother."
Hearing Ye Siying's words, the emperor felt seven dissatisfactions and eight dissatisfactions -
Are you worthy of being a royal sister?
Although Bian Xiao and I have nothing to do with each other, how can a woman like him marry enter the royal family?
If Bian Xiao and I hadn't dealt with him and wanted him to ruin his reputation by marrying a woman of such a background, I would have punished you today.
Hiding all these thoughts on the lonely "point" of calligraphy, the emperor cleared his throat: "Since we are in love with each other, I feel at ease. I was originally worried that the marriage would make my fourth brother unhappy.
But now I have found my destined person.”
Bian Xiao nodded with a fake smile. Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to have any intention of making excuses, the two brothers exchanged a few words and left.
Sitting in the carriage, Bian Xiao's face almost froze with laughter. Ye Siying nestled in his arms and asked: "King, it seems that the emperor also hopes that we can be together. Do you think we are a perfect match?"
Bian Xiao rolled his eyes——
The emperor wants us to be together, isn't that because he hopes that I can quickly step down from the position of regent?
He took a deep breath, smoothed down the woman's arm around him, and straightened his collar: "You don't have to take the emperor's words to heart. When you get back, remember to serve the princess and wash her feet."
Ye Siying:……
When the two returned to the palace, the food was basically ready. Seeing that He Yanyan was not sitting at the dinner table, Bian Xiao was a little confused: "Where is the princess?"
"Replying to the prince, the princess said she was feeling unwell in the afternoon and was resting in her room. No one should disturb her."
"Feeling unwell?" Upon hearing this, his expression immediately twisted, "Mr. Zhong?"
The doctor knew that Bian Xiao was going to cue him, so he ran over and said, "King!"
"what happened?"
The doctor saluted: "King, the princess ordered that no one be allowed in, and I don't dare to do it rashly, so..."
"Go and have a look with me."
Bian Xiao walked in front and led the doctor to He Yanyan's room.
Without Fu Jianli's care, the room felt a lot shabby, and the furnishings seemed to have been removed. Only then did Bian Xiao realize how dilapidated He Yanyan's room was.
"princess?"
He Yanyan, who was in bed thinking about how she would lead her troops to attack the city in order to take back the throne from the imperial sister, was startled when she heard the majestic voice. She turned around and said with some surprise: "King?"
"I heard you're feeling unwell, how are you?"
Bian Xiao sat beside the bed, and He Yanyan subconsciously moved inward twice: "It's okay, maybe she's a little tired."
He Yanyan's movement was like an arrow hitting Bian Xiao's heart. Bian Xiao frowned and stood up, giving up his position to the doctor:
"Show her."
"yes."
While diagnosing her pulse, the doctor secretly glanced at the princess——
It is said that this princess has "eyebrows that are as dark as distant mountains, and her lips are as red as if they were painted with sand but not dotted." But what is happening now when she wears a veil all day long?
And the king also acquiesced?
After scratching his head for a while, the doctor said: "The princess's fetal image is a little unstable. I will make a recipe for the princess. Two pictures will be effective immediately."
"Then go quickly."
After the doctor left, Bian Xiao looked at the old decoration in the room, and finally his eyes fell on He Yanyan's cold face:
"Is the injury on your face... getting better?"
Shaking her head, He Yanyan prepared to get out of bed: "It doesn't matter."
"Just lie down and have a good rest," Bian Xiao stopped her, "I will also order dinner to be delivered."
"I appreciate the king's kindness, but I promised the king before that I would treat the king's leg disease." After saying that, He Yanyan got out of bed and took out a small medicine bag from the drawer, "This is Qiang
The Shu Jin Huo Luo Powder secretly passed down by Lan Guo needs to be dissolved in the poisonous blood, then sprinkled with some spirits to light it, then use acupuncture on these acupuncture points, and put them on the fire until all the poisonous blood is burned out.
, one course of treatment is over.”
Looking at the medicine in He Yanyan's hand, Bian Xiao finally understood what it means to fight fire with poison:
"This poisonous blood is both rare and extremely poisonous. How can I trust you?"
"It's normal for the king to have doubts," He Yanyan walked to him, "If the king trusts me, I can give the king an injection, and then smoke the poison with the king. If he is poisoned, then I
Naturally, I will accompany the king."
"..."
Bian Xiao felt that this woman He Yanyan was getting more and more crazy. He took the medicine in the book and said: "It's not impossible."
He wanted to see if this woman had the courage.
Early the next morning, the doctor prepared a medicinal bath, but Bian Xiao did not take a bath. Instead, he sent him out and asked He Yanyan to come and take care of him.
When He Yanyan came, she took out a pack of needles and a bottle of poisoned blood from her sleeve.
"Princess is very agile in her movements." Bian Xiao also took out the medicinal powder and poisonous blood from the drawer in the room.
"Wang first took off his pants and lay on the bed. I will take a look at the injury."
"..."
Originally, he was used to doing this kind of action in front of the doctor and didn't think it was anything. But when he really had to take off his pants in front of He Yanyan, Bian Xiao was actually a little shy.
Frowning, he reluctantly rolled up his trouser legs: "Is this possible?"
He Yanyan looked at the bruises on her calves that snaked all the way to her thighs, and shook her head: "It looks like the thighs are quite injured. Wang, it's better not to worry about your face and just take off your pants!"
Blushing, Bian Xiao took off his pants and sat on the bed.
He Yanyan looked at the injury on his leg and frowned slightly. This was more serious than she thought.
First, a piece of white silk was used to hang Bian Xiao's legs up, and then six needles were inserted into his calves and thighs. Then, the prepared prescription and poisonous blood were ignited, and He Yanyan's hand gently twisted the needles.
Seeing her serious look, Bian Xiao felt inexplicably at ease, and gradually felt a warm feeling on his legs.
"Um?"
And just after He Yanyan gave him another injection.
