Qing Yan

"Is the Queen Mother's illness a serious problem?" Yu Wenrui sat leaning on the edge of Jing Yan's couch, staring at Jing Yan's sleepy face, his heart still aching.

Shi Ran was instructing Shi Mo, who was in charge of decocting the medicine, to pay attention to the heat and the time in a low voice. Hearing the emperor's question, he hurriedly straightened his robes, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the queen mother just suffered Some wind and cold, evil winds invade the body and cause fever. I just prescribed a prescription for evacuation, and asked my aunts to fry it, and serve the queen mother to drink it, and the recovery will be cured within a week."

Hearing what he said, Yu Wenrui felt a little relieved.She looked at Jing Yan, her heart was rippling, and her chest gradually filled with tenderness, she couldn't help but gently pulled Jing Yan's palm under the brocade quilt, and stroked it gently.

"But the queen mother is so lethargic, I'm always worried." If there were no other people present, Yu Wenrui would like to brush away the two strands of hair scattered on Jing Yan's cheeks with his fingers, so that she can sleep more comfortably.

Shi Ran is someone who has been there, and has seen the love and tacit understanding between the late emperor and the empress dowager in the past. Those are all memories that made his heart ache. How could he easily forget them?Yu Wenrui's every move, especially the unconcealable affection between his eyes, he saw in his eyes, secretly startled——

Such a situation, how familiar!

His mind faltered, he collected himself, and hurriedly said: "It may not be a good thing for the Queen Mother to fall asleep like this. Your Majesty is familiar with medical books, and you should know that the human body has a natural defense mechanism against illness."

"That's right." Yu Wenrui nodded, part of her medical knowledge was taught by Shi Ran.

Shi Ran continued: "Yes, I think that the self-healing mechanism in the body is playing a protective role in the Queen Mother's behavior. After falling asleep, the breathing and the operation of the internal organs have all slowed down, so naturally more energy can be put into the body. Putting it in to cure the pain. Coupled with external force to take the medicine, it will be more effective. It's just..."

"Just how?" Yu Wenrui's heart slipped into his throat again because of these two words.

Shi Ran's eyes slipped, and he glanced at the three people in the room, Shen Quan, Bing Bi and Shi Mo, hesitant to speak.

Yu Wenrui knew what he was worried about——

The emperor was young, so it would be fine if the empress dowager had just a minor ailment; if she really suffered from some serious illness, it would be a great threat to the stability of the Great Zhou Guozuo.

Seeing him in such a state, Yu Wenrui felt even more anxious, "They are all safe people, so it's okay for you to say so."

Shi Ran coughed uncomfortably, and then said: "It's just that the Queen Mother's body is not as good as it was a few years ago. Your Majesty needs to remind her to take good care of herself. It's so cold that she won't catch a cold."

Yu Wenrui blushed when she heard the words: Auntie is frozen like this today, isn't it all because of her messing around?

But then again, Yu Wenrui asked herself, she didn't feel that today was purely "nonsense". After all, those words had been held in her heart for many years, and if she didn't say it again, she would really go crazy.

Then she murmured: "I know..."

Squeezing Jing Yan's palm also felt quite unnatural.

Just listen to Shi Ran and said again: "The Queen Mother's illness is really caused by overthinking, lack of maintenance, and accumulation over time."

"Master Shi means..."

"The Empress Dowager's illness has already been cured." Shi Ran met Yu Wenrui's gaze and said calmly.

Yu Wenrui's heart sank suddenly, and he suddenly felt powerless, and murmured: "How could it be..."

Looking sideways at Jing Yan's sleeping face, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Regardless of the relationship with Yu Wenzhe, Shi Ran and Jing Yan grew up together, and they have a half-teacher friendship with Yu Wenrui, and he doesn't want to see Jing Yan's illness go to the marrow, and the little emperor is sad and sad. Sui said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although the Empress Dowager's illness is not serious, it is not urgent. As long as it is well maintained and less thoughtful, it will not be a problem."

"No matter how much you take care of it, isn't it impossible to get rid of the root of the disease?" Yu Wenrui looked at him worriedly.

Shi Ran paused for a moment, then hesitated and said: "It's not impossible to get rid of the root of the disease..."

Yu Wenrui's eyes lit up, and he said anxiously: "How to treat it? Ai Qing, tell me quickly!"

"I saw similar symptoms in an ancient medical book in the past, and then mentioned a prescription called Mianxin Decoction."

"Mianxin Decoction? How do you make this? What herbs do you need? I'll send someone to find it right away!"

"For this prescription, other medicines are fine. The most difficult to find is the king's medicine, called Sleeping Heart Grass. According to that ancient book, this herb is the most effective for regulating Qi and calming the mind."

Yu Wenrui frowned, "Sleeping Heart Grass? I have read several medicine books, but I have never heard of this."

Shi Ran nodded: "It's no wonder Your Majesty doesn't know. I have studied this way and only read it in that book. It is said that this medicinal herb only grows in the Ur Mountains in Monan. This medicinal is grown in extremely bitter cold and high places. It has been subjected to wind, frost, snow and rain for a long time, so the medicinal properties are extremely strong, even in Monan, it is a precious medicine that is hard to buy."

"Monan..." Yu Wenrui thought, "New Year will be in a few days, and the envoys from Monan will meet with them as usual, and I will ask them then!"

She spoke decisively, as if the other party would send someone to snatch it if she dared not give it to her.

Shi Ran looked at it and sighed silently: How does the emperor look like he is worried about his sister-in-law?It's just...

Shi Ran didn't dare to think about how "simple" it was, because the face of the Empress Dowager flashed across his mind in an instant.

The emperor is like this, I'm afraid, it's not good, right?I don't know what the Queen Mother is thinking.Shi Ran thought to himself.

The two monarchs and ministers guarded the sleeping Jing Yan, chatting a few words from time to time.Yu Wenrui asked about everything about Sleeping Heart Grass, but Shi Ran didn't know much about it. He told Yu Wenrui everything he knew, but he still couldn't make Yu Wenrui feel at ease.

An hour later, Jing Yan slowly opened his eyes.

Yu Wenrui held onto Jing Yan's hand from the beginning to the end and did not let go. When Jing Yan moved, she felt something and said happily, "Sister-in-law! You finally woke up!"

What came into view was Yu Wenrui's worried face;

It was Yu Wenrui's faint smell of sweet-scented osmanthus that rushed into his nose; what filled his ears was Yu Wenrui's soft and caring words; what he touched was Yu Wenrui's skinny and warm palm...

Jing Yan sighed silently——

All her senses were fully occupied by Yu Wenrui.This child overbearingly and greedily surrounded himself with all perceivable and imperceptible things, leaving no gaps.

Jing Yan's chest was so tight that she felt that she was about to suffocate.

She turned her face away gently.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Yu Wenrui's palm occupied her forehead, "Well, it's not hot anymore! Is sister-in-law still feeling uncomfortable?"

She couldn't wait for Jing Yan's answer, and called the maid repeatedly to bring the soup that had been boiled.

Jing Yan was weak all over, and was really tired of dealing with her.

"What time is it? The emperor should go back and rest. Tomorrow will go to court early..."

But Yu Wenrui didn't respond to her request, and took the medicine bowl on the tray held by Shi Mo steadily, sniffed and smelled it, and there was nothing too unacceptable.So she scooped it up with a jade spoon, blew it close to her mouth, and then raised it to Jing Yan.

"Sister-in-law, open your mouth, ah—"

Jing Yan immediately blushed, she felt ashamed to take care of the child raised by herself like a baby.

And "Ah--", how about coaxing the little doll?

Yu Wenrui saw that her face was flushed, she didn't open her mouth, and smiled: "Hee hee, so my sister-in-law is afraid of suffering? It's okay, Mr. Shi is the most skilled doctor, why would you give my sister-in-law a nasty bitter medicine?" Come on, open your mouth obediently..."

Shi Ran is really ashamed to watch it, Your Majesty, do you want to be so naked?

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, if there is no other order, I will leave."

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work!" Yu Wenrui smiled at Shi Ran.

Shi Ran said "I don't dare to take it" and hurriedly withdrew.

Pity the few people in the room, and they have to continue to watch how the emperor feeds medicine naively.

"If sister-in-law finds it bitter, Wuyou can try it for sister-in-law first." Yu Wenrui said, turning the spoon in his hand to his own mouth.

Shen Quan opened his mouth, but then he thought that he was just a slave and could not be the master of his master, so he closed his mouth again.

Jing Yan was angry and funny at the same time, and said angrily: "Nonsense! The medicine is also taken indiscriminately! Come here yourself!"

As she said, she raised her hand to reach the medicine bowl in Yu Wenrui's hand, but Yu Wenrui dodged it lightly, "Sister-in-law's hands are soft, this medicine has finally been boiled! It's safer to feed you without worry." .”

In the blue jade spoon, a puddle of dark brown medicinal soup was lifted to his mouth.

Jing Yan lowered her eyes, she didn't dare to look up, she was afraid of meeting Yu Wenrui's concerned gaze who was close at hand.The fiery intensity in those eyes was no less than that of the other pair.She was afraid that she would fall into it and never be able to extricate herself.She was even more afraid that showing a little of her face would hurt the child's heart.

She can't hurt her, she can only hurt herself.

Jing Yan heard the slight cracking sound deep in her heart, she didn't care how much pain there was, she lowered her eyes, opened her lips, and sipped a spoonful of medicinal soup in Yu Wenrui's hand, she didn't feel bitter .

Maybe it's because Shi Ran's prescription is like this; or maybe it's because, compared with the bitterness in my heart, this bit of bitterness is nothing at all.

Yu Wenrui watched Jing Yan drink up the medicine in the bowl one gulp at a time, and felt that such a sister-in-law was so obedient and cute that one could not help but embrace her.

She kept her eyes on Jing Yan's lips, especially when those lips touched the jade spoon, the color of jasper and the moisture of the medicinal soup made the lips extra plump and shiny.

Yu Wenrui pursed her lips subconsciously, her lips felt itchy, and her heart felt even more itchy: she and her can do more and closer things...

She really wanted, desperately wanted to know what those things would be like.
