The couch was placed by the window, and the bright autumn sunlight filtered in and fell entirely on Xu Jian.
He sat up, his expression not intense, but his eyes were deep.
It was very heavy, so heavy that all the floating emotions fell to the ground.
She nodded.
After finishing it, I felt it was not enough, so I clicked again, then gathered my thoughts and walked out.
In the room, Xu Jian lay back on the couch and lowered her eyes.
I have to say that Mrs. Xu's words still had a lot of impact on him.
He raised his hand and covered his face, blocking his sight.
In fact, Xu Jian saw that Lin Yunyan had some reservations, and the little princess did not say many things clearly.
Considering her temperament, this is very rare.
That's fine. If he really got to the bottom of it, Xu Jian didn't know how to get around it.
He was such a keen person, and he had caught some clues several times. If Xu Jian hadn't known how to get around Lin Yunyan, this matter wouldn't have been delayed for so long.
This time, various possibilities were accidentally revealed. Once I start sorting out, I'm afraid everything that is true or false will be thrown into confusion.
Xu Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that Mrs. Xu had a delicate mind and always had a lot of things on her mind. She thought of those things for no reason. Xu Jian said it was surprising, but he was not very surprised.
Or, he should have a good talk with Mrs. Xu.
Thinking like this, Xu Jian raised her arm.
He moved his palm away, and the sunlight suddenly brightened up, making his eyes squint again.
Taking advantage of the moment to calm down, Xu Jian looked at his hands.
At this moment, his legs were not so uncomfortable, and he had stopped sweating a lot. His palms were dry, but what he thought about was the sweat. He held Lin Yunyan's hand, and also held her neck. The sweat
, all stained on her skin.
Tsk…
Without letting his thoughts continue, he called Shen Chen: "Tell the old lady, I will come over later."
In the other carriage, the carriage slowly left the Duke Fu's Mansion and headed all the way to the West Palace Gate.
Wan Yue looked at Lin Yunyan and felt that the princess was in distress.
This is not surprising. It is difficult for the Duke of Guo to treat his injuries, and the princess's mood must also be depressed.
But she vaguely felt that it was not just that.
The princess was well aware of the Duke's injury. Wan Yue had been with her for so long, and she also knew many situations. The inside and outside were fundamentally different. The injury was both a difficulty and an opportunity. The princess should not have been so silent.
For this reason.
But Wan Yue couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only pour a glass of drink and hand it to Lin Yunyan: "It's warm, please moisten your throat."
Lin Yunyan took it and sipped it in small sips.
This is a pot of scented tea with red dates and honey, which makes it sweet in the mouth.
The street outside is bustling with people, it's a lively time.
But her mind fell on Xu Jian.
In the study room, it was rare that Lin Yunyan didn't finish what she had to say. It wasn't because she was worried about saving face or something, it was just that she wasn't ready.
Mrs. Xu's words were like a dagger, tearing open with a sound. Many things she had thought of before and things she had never thought of rushed into her mind, and Lin Yunyan was suddenly confused.
And after that period of confusion, all that was left was heart palpitations. In one breath, the heartbeat was unknown.
If Xu Jian really...
Lin Yunyan didn't know what state of mind to face it with. It was so heavy that even her breathing was hot.
With Xu Jian's temper, it's not surprising that the yin and yang are going around in circles. If she doesn't want to be entangled by him, she has to sort it out by herself first, and then, one by one, bit by bit, not giving Xu Jian the chance to get around.
That's why she didn't ask, and there wasn't enough time for her to ask.
The noise outside gradually became distant and quiet, until it became quiet. Lin Yunyan knew that she was outside the West Palace Gate.
Stepping off the carriage, she looked at the red palace wall and clenched her fists.
"Let's go." She said to Wan Yue.
The small sedan arrived outside Cining Palace.
When Eunuch Yu heard that the princess was coming, he hurriedly came out to welcome her. As soon as he raised his head and saw the people getting off the sedan, the smile on his face froze.
"What are you..." He helped Lin Yunyan and looked at her eyebrows.
His eyebrows were slightly furrowed and the corners of his eyes were red, as if he was holding back his emotions.
When the princess met the Queen Mother, she always smiled almost every time. Even if she occasionally encountered injustices and was holding back her anger, she still seemed to be able to hold her own. Less than the father-in-law thought, he had not seen the princess for several years.
That's it.
It’s not that it’s hard to cry, it’s that it’s hard to hold back and not cry.
Younger father-in-law felt his heart twitching.
Thinking of the people in the palace talking about Duke Fu's injury, he probably guessed the reason, but he didn't want to ask more, so he said: "My queen is waiting for you inside."
When she walked to the corridor outside the palace, Lin Yunyan did not rush in. She just lowered her head and seemed to be relaxing her mood.
When Uncle Yu saw this, he did not rush him, but went in first to report it.
"Looking low." He said in a low voice.
The Queen Mother sighed and was about to ask Nanny Wang to go outside to greet her when she saw Lin Yunyan walking in.
That little face was just as her father-in-law said. He suppressed his emotions and met her gaze. The Empress Dowager smiled when she saw Lin Yunyan.
The corners of her mouth were raised a little, revealing a slight dimple. She was not as bright as usual, but a bit shy and restrained, which made the Empress Dowager feel extremely distressed.
"Come," she waved, "let Aijia take a closer look at you."
Lin Yunyan stepped forward and sat down next to the Queen Mother.
The empress dowager knew that she was not in a good mood, so she was unwilling to talk about what was going on and left her to deal with it, so she simply got straight to the point: "Are you worried about Xu Jian's injury?"
Lin Yunyan nodded: "I just came out of Fu Guogong's mansion."
The Queen Mother held her hand and asked, "How is he doing?"
"I was getting an acupuncture when I went there." Since Lin Yunyan had made up her mind to "cry miserably," she naturally tried her best. She gestured on her legs and said, "It's all green and purple, and it looks so ugly."
pain.
I knew that his legs and feet were inconvenient these days, and I heard from my father that he hadn't been to court for a few days. I couldn't worry about it, so I went there regardless of the unruly people.
Only when I looked at it did I realize how powerful it was.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I heard the doctor said that it will be more uncomfortable in a few days. This is a process, and you have to endure it if you want to cure it. "
When the Queen Mother heard this, she sighed.
Although she didn't see Xu Jian's injury, just listening to it made her feel sad.
The country's generals, young and old, all go into battle for the country. As the empress dowager, how could she neglect this loyalty?
Her home and country were built with the lives and perseverance of civil and military ministers.
After Xu Jian became Zhongliang again, she watched him grow up. Moreover, Xu Jian's injury was to save the prince who acted recklessly and shamelessly, so the empress dowager felt guilty.
What makes her even more sad is that Xu Jian is her settled husband for Yun Yan.
Love the house and the bird.
It was useless to say anything else at this moment. The Empress Dowager comforted her softly: "That doctor must have some skills. The Ai family heard that his method of treating injuries has also been seen by the imperial doctor.
Life is a long road, and you will spend decades together. It will be worth it if he gets better and takes more walks with you as you grow older.
He is definitely willing to get better himself. Men, who would like to carry old wounds on their bodies?"
"You are right," Lin Yunyan smiled, "He wants to get better, and I also hope that he will get better, so I came to find you."
The Queen Mother was surprised: "Oh? Is there anyone else the Ai family can help with?"
"I want to ask you for some medicinal materials," Lin Yunyan said, "You must have heard that the doctor is famous in the Northeast. His whereabouts are unpredictable, and he doesn't know where he is in the ravine to treat people's injuries.
This time it was Prince Jin who sent people to the northeast to search for him. He finally found him and hurriedly invited people to come to the capital.
It was just in time, so I carried a medicine box on my back, and I didn't bring many medicinal materials with me.
If there are some commonly used ones, they are also readily available in pharmacies in the capital, but there are a few flavors that are either unavailable or taste bad and cannot be found in the warehouse of the Duke's Mansion.
Mainly tiger bones, as well as these medicinal herbs, people were told to go to the Northeast to look for them. I thought there might be some in the palace, so I had the nerve to ask."
As soon as Lin Yunyan said it, her father-in-law Xiao Yu immediately remembered it in her heart.
The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief: "Just send someone to get some medicinal materials from the Imperial Pharmacy. Not to mention that the Ai family has spoken. Your Majesty knows that Xu Jian is using it, so he has already sent someone to deliver it."
"I know you love me," Lin Yunyan said, "I'll go by myself. Grandma Ma is here too. I'll ask her to pick one for me."
Aunt Ma was originally a medicine official at the Royal Pharmacy. After being favored by the Empress Dowager, she picked and prepared medicines for her until she was assigned to take care of Lin Yunyan. She had great trust in Aunt Ma's abilities.
"The Imperial Pharmacy is also divided into high and low levels," the Empress Dowager said. "You let her just pick and choose what is best."
Lin Yunyan thanked her.
After leaving Cining Palace, he was led by Eunuch Yu, accompanied by Mother Ma, who went to the Royal Pharmacy.
Cining Palace asked for a selection, and everyone in the Royal Pharmacy cooperated. They opened the medicine cabinet and asked Mother Ma to carefully select it.
Everything else is easy to deal with, but tiger bones are always difficult to pick.
Not to mention the ones in the medicine cabinet, even the warehouse was rummaged through, and there were dozens of them in stock. Grandma Ma shook her head.
The superintendent's surname is Fang. The person on duty today is An Yuanjian from Taiyuan Hospital. The two of them looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, it was Eunuch Fang who spoke openly.
"What's inappropriate?" he asked. "From young to old, from leg bones to sternum, from one or two years to more than ten years old, the tigers are all here. If you can't choose, Grandma Ma, you can't."
You have to give a reason for not winning.
It's not that the Zajia said that if the Imperial Pharmacy can no longer be found, there will be no better ones in the entire capital and Gyeonggi region.
The Zajia family didn't hide it, so how could they be reluctant to treat Duke Fu's injuries?
But if you are so picky, the Zajia family really has a solution."
Mother Ma said: "I just knew that the stuff in the Royal Pharmacy was good, so I wanted to select a more comprehensive selection. In the early years, I remember there was a very good one. Princess Derong wanted it, but the late emperor didn't give it to her."
When Eunuch Fang heard this, his face darkened.
This is so profound.
At that time, Mother Ma was still the female official in charge of medicine, and her father-in-law Fang was also a chambermaid in the imperial pharmacy. They worked together, and they had a good relationship. They also knew everything about what was in the warehouse and could not hide it.
Whatever happens, I can remember it.
The tiger bones were offered as tribute from below. The eldest princess did ask the late emperor for one, but she was not sick or in pain. It was just on a whim, so the late emperor refused. At that time, everyone also said that with such good tiger bones, no wonder she had such a long bone.
The princess doesn't want gold, silver, and jade, but she just likes this one.
"That one has been used a long time ago," Fang Gong said impartially. "Three or four years ago, His Highness the Crown Prince used it when he fell and was injured. The Za family asked someone to look up the records."
Gong Gongzheng asked the young chamberlain to look through it, and then Princess Ning'an, who had been standing silently by the side, spoke.
"A whole tiger bone, the prince used it all by himself?"
Eunuch Fang turned to look at Lin Yunyan.
He did not answer, but answered the judge An Yuan who was being watched by the princess.
"It is said that it cannot be used up," Judge An said truthfully, "for the prince's injury, a small section is enough."
After Lin Yunyan heard this, she turned to look at Eunuch Fang.
Eunuch Fang suddenly started sweating on his back.
I see.
I see!
He said, how could he not choose one among the dozens? It turned out that the princess was going for that one.
Being able to supervise eunuchs, Eunuch Fang naturally has some skills. He is in the Imperial Pharmacy, and his ears are even more sensitive than Qianbulang's on some matters. He has heard a rumor before.
The Duke of Fu was injured because of His Highness the Crown Prince.
He had heard of it, but he didn't dare to inquire more, let alone spread it to other places. The news from the outside was so overwhelming that it was almost like there was no news at all, but now it seemed that it was ninety-nine times true.
Everyone knows that Princess Ning'an is favored by the Empress Dowager, even more favored than her own granddaughter, Princess Changle. But after all, the princess's surname is not Li. She has never had a reputation for being domineering and overbearing in so many years. Instead, everyone praises her for being gentle. ,sensible.
The gentle people in the palace will never be so direct and personally go to battle to ask for things.
The princess is acting strangely today.
"Princess," Eunuch Fang smiled, "That tiger bone was indeed given to His Highness the Crown Prince. If it has not been used up, it is kept in the East Palace, not in the Imperial Pharmacy. If you want that bone, you have to ask the Crown Prince. "
He finally understood that the princess was just taking the opportunity to make trouble. It was not their imperial pharmacy that was in trouble. The anger was directed toward the East Palace.
This was a fight between gods and gods, and he joined in when he was full.
He was able to climb up because he didn't get involved.
Lin Yunyan got the answer she wanted, and asked Yu Gonggongdao: "Can I go to the East Palace to ask for it?"
The younger father-in-law rolled his eyes.
Whether it is possible or not is not something that can be decided at the Royal Pharmacy.
"Let's go back to Cining Palace first," he advised. "We'll ask the East Palace for help, and we learned that we've met the Empress and the Holy One."
Lin Yunyan nodded and asked Mother Ma to bring the other medicinal materials she picked out and return first.
Eunuch Fang sent them all the way out and watched them go away, then raised his hand to wipe the sweat.
Just send it away.
Let Cining Palace, Yu Study Room and Dong Palace fight. A little guy like him can hide as far as he can.
But, having said that, it is just a tiger bone, and the East Palace will not refuse to give it. It should be just a matter of a few words between the nobles.
If the auxiliary Duke can cure his injury, the Empress Dowager will be happy, the Holy Emperor will be even more happy, and the Prince will definitely be happy too.
Lin Yunyan returned to Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager was eating her soup. Hearing this, she looked up and said, "Are you sure you want to talk to Li Shao?"
Lin Yunyan looked around and saw that Grandma Wang immediately dismissed the others.
"This time is different from the last time when Gu Yue paid tribute to him. I didn't provoke him intentionally," Lin Yunyan said. "I just thought that there must be a chance to resolve the knot in my heart."
