[Sui and Tang Dynasties] Wise husbands emerge from under the whip

The sky is getting colder and the ground is getting colder and colder. There are still five or six days before the great cold, but Yang Yong contracted a cold and fell ill due to overwork.

As the saying goes, sickness comes like a mountain. Even though Yang Yong has a lot of training to strengthen his body, a small wind and cold still makes him unable to continue. He can only lie on the bed and wait for the doctor to see him.

Yang Yong's wives and concubines were all waiting in his bedroom for the doctor's final report, some were silent and some were dissatisfied.

"We obviously have a doctor in our house, why do we need to hire someone else? Isn't this a waste of money!" The first to complain was Wang Liangyuan, who was woken up by Xia Xiang early in the morning, saying that Yang Yong was sick and wanted all the people Going to his side, she was annoyed at first because it was too cold and didn't want to come out, but now Ke Jing has to hire another doctor and have additional expenses.Nowadays, most of the expenses of the general manager's office are spent on relief for the victims, so Yang Yong gave an order to save as much as possible, and she couldn't even get a decent new dress, so of course she was the one with the most grievances.

"Xi Nian is out to see a doctor for the common people. She and those girls are so busy that they almost don't come home at night. They have to stay in the hospital, or sister, do you want to go there yourself?"

Ke Jing's majestic tone made Wang Liangyuan shut her mouth, but all kinds of thoughts were surging in her heart. The doctor came out and told Yang Yong's condition, comforting Ke Jing and others not to worry too much. Receive the reward and leave.

It is the doctor's advice to have a good rest.

It happened that he fell at a critical moment... Looking at Yang Yong's pale face, Ke Jing sighed.

"Sister, it looks like you don't look good. Could it be that you have caught the cold too?" Wang Liangyuan looked at the sleepy Cheng Ji and said in surprise.

Cheng Ji nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you, sister, for your concern. My sister just feels that she can't get enough sleep."

Kejing turned his head and looked over, and saw that Cheng Ji, who was usually beaming with joy, seemed to have experienced something, she was listless and unable to raise her spirits, and there was a faint black circle under her eyes, which at first glance seemed to be true. It's the feeling of not sleeping well.

Ke Jing smiled, "If you feel tired, go back and rest first."

"Hey! What are you going back for? How can His Highness leave before he wakes up? Besides, His Highness hasn't stayed at your place for a long time because of business. Seeing my sister like this...it's nothing but too tired, huh?"

Wang Liangyuan's words were thorny, Kejing frowned, and Chengji's expression became even more ugly.

"My sister misunderstood, and my sister doesn't know what's wrong. I've been feeling sleepy recently, and I can't lift my spirits. I guess it's because of acclimatization."

"Unaccustomed to the climate? My sister is really precious! It's been almost a month since I've been here and I'm still not acclimatized."

Wang Liangyuan wanted to sarcastically, but was stopped by Ke Jing, "Why didn't you say it sooner if you are not acclimatized to the environment? If you drag your body like this, a minor illness will turn into a serious one."

Cheng Ji stood up and gave a blessing, and said: "Thank you for your concern, the concubine. I feel that you and His Highness are working day and night for the people's affairs, so I don't want you and His Highness to bother you, so I went to see the doctor on my own. It doesn’t matter if you take a few patches of medicine, probably the amount of medicine is not enough.”

"You..." Ke Jing shook his head, "I'll let Xi Nian show you later, her medical skills are much better than those local doctors, thanks to you always thinking about us, His Highness will feel distressed if he knows Yes, but I still have to say it when I’m sick.”

Cheng Ji bowed her knees again to thank her, but in return Wang Liangyuan snorted.

In the afternoon, after receiving Ke Jing's order, Xi Nian returned to the General Manager's Mansion, and less than two quarters of an hour later, she returned to Ke Jing's residence from Cheng Ji's place.

Ke Jingwo was reading on the heating kang, and after asking the doctor to see Yang Yong in the morning, she went out to work with Cheng Qingtian and the others. When some officers and soldiers go, she can have her own time to conceive the next step.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, she asked without raising her head, "How?"

Xi Nian walked up to Ke Jing and said, "It's not acclimatization, it's just that the symptoms are very weird."

After closing the book, Ke Jing raised his head, "Tell me in detail."

"The pulse is very weak, the whole body is weak, and it's not a double pulse. Other than that, there are no other signs."

Ke Jing raised the corner of his mouth, "Unexpectedly, there will be times when you are stumped, it's rare."

Xi Nian's eyes flickered, Ke Jing knew she was embarrassed, but there was no embarrassment on that face.

"I'm not a senior physician either."

"You have a way of finding out, though, don't you?"

Looking at Ke Jing's bright eyes, Xi Nian nodded, "Just give me time."

At night, a semi-new bath barrel, the size of an adult, filled with steaming water, the water vapor rose, enveloping the whole room.The woman sat in the bucket, raised her orchid fingers halfway in the air, and water droplets flowed down from her fingertips. Her smooth skin looked delicate and beautiful under the candlelight, and her black hair floated on the water, faintly covering her naked body. With her delicate body, she just hummed a song and played in the water, looking very happy.

"Xia Xiang, are your clothes ready?"

"Well, ready." A voice came from outside the screen, and Xia Xiang stood in front of her with clean clothes.

Wang Liangyuan only took one look, and the expression on her face changed, "What did you get when I asked you to get new clothes? Who are you going to wear such old clothes for? Do you think I'm a beggar?!"

Xia Xiang hurriedly knelt down, and said sincerely and fearfully: "Your Majesty, calm down, the weather is not very good these days, and the washed clothes are still not dry."

"Didn't do it?" Wang Liangyuan snorted coldly, "If you don't do it, it's just old clothes. I don't know where there are cloth sellers in this remote place."

"Mother, our money is only enough for daily expenses, there is no..." before finishing speaking, a wet cloth was thrown on her face, followed by Wang Liangyuan's furious voice scolding her, Xia Xiang was almost on her knees Waiting on the ground for Wang Liangyuan's anger to pass, but she didn't expect that the more silent she became, the more angry she would become when she became speechless.

"As early as today, you should have been betrothed to Liu San in the first place! At least you can get some dowry!"

"Your Majesty, don't!"

Liu San is a servant of Prince Jin's mansion. He is extremely ugly and short. The most important thing is that the wives he married two times before were tortured to death by him. He does not want a woman to marry him.

That's why when Liu San came to propose marriage to Wang Liangyuan, she was so afraid. If Wang Liangyuan agreed to this marriage, it would be the beginning of her dark life, so she was unwilling and tried every means to stay.

"Don't just be obedient!"

"Your Majesty, the slaves have always been obedient and have never done anything against your Majesty!"

Wang Liangyuan got up and put on her clothes, "I'm sorry you don't dare, and sooner or later you are going to get married, and it is your greatest contribution to bring back some dowry."

Xia Xiang lay on the ground without speaking, but her eyes became colder and colder.

In the first three days of Laba, Xi Nian still couldn't diagnose Cheng Ji's cause, and Cheng Ji's condition was getting worse day by day. Even though Ke Jing could guess the reason, he couldn't do anything because there was no evidence.Just when they felt helpless, Ke Jing suddenly got an unexpected help.

"So, can you help us catch Wang Liangyuan?" Ke Jing asked while sitting on the heated kang, looking at Xia Xiang who came to visit unexpectedly.

She knew that one day, Xia Xiang would become one of the keys, but she didn't expect that it would be the time when she needed help the most.

"As long as the crown prince and concubine can keep the servants alive, the servants should devote themselves to everything."

Ke Jing smiled and said: "Of course it is to protect you. You are the biggest contributor. If you can find Wang Liangyuan's handle, I will not only protect you but also reward you generously."

"The servant girl thanked the empress first."

"Don't thank me so early, you have to know that if you mess up this matter, you will only be ungrateful to both sides, and you may end up with an unhappy ending, so the ugly words are up front. Are you willing to do such a difficult task? If you give up halfway , I will never forgive you lightly."

"Regarding this point, the slaves have long been included. These days, the maidservants are not ignorant of the concern of the empress for the slaves. They all say that the favor of a drop of water should be repaid by the spring, not to mention the favor of the empress. The slaves will never Will live up to your expectations."

"Then Cheng Ji is sick..."

"Cheng Niangniang's illness is caused by Wang Niangniang."

Wang Liangyuan actually has a way to make Xi Nian helpless.Ke Jing became interested, so he couldn't help but sit up straight, "Let's hear it."

"Food therapy."

Xi Nian's eyes lit up. Although she is not very good at food, she has heard from her younger sister Shui Lingxin that when some things are put together, they cannot preserve health. On the contrary, it can cause chronic poisoning and internal organ failure.

"I see..." Xi Nian nodded, no wonder she couldn't find the cause of the symptoms.

"I know, I will agree to your request, but the task I give you is not as simple as you think, since you are willing to do things for me, then according to Wang Liangyuan's shrewdness, she will also If you notice something, Bengong doesn't mind if you do double-sided work, as for whether you want to help Bengong or Wang Liangyuan more, it depends on your own choice."

Xia Xiang kowtowed again and said: "I have made up my mind, I will never regret it."

Ke Jing smiled and asked her to get up, "I believe in your ability, and I also believe that you will do a good job, so I will give you a task first. It is said that your ability to imitate handwriting is very lifelike. Someone accidentally took it from Chang'an. The letter addressed to Wang Liangyuan has been sent to this palace," Ke Jing said while observing Xia Xiang's expression, and continued, "I want to appoint you, and I will draw up an identical copy of the letter I receive in the future, and copy the original To this palace, so, do you understand?"

Xia Xiang's expression changed slightly, knowing that the Crown Princess' eyeliner had covered the entire Governor's Mansion, so she stopped being negligent.She kowtowed deeply, and said: "This servant will definitely do her best to not let the empress down."

After Xia Xiang left, Xi Nian came to Ke Jing's side and pressed acupuncture points for her.After Yang Yong fell ill, many things fell on her. She not only had to discuss with Cheng Qingtian, but also went to care for the people together. After a few days, she got neuralgia.

"You leave it to her to do this, don't worry?"

Ke Jing was enjoying her massage, and slowly said: "Xia Xiang is a shrewd person, if it is not profitable, she will never come to me, and she can come here because she must have reached the peak of her dissatisfaction with Wang Liangyuan. Secretly taking my benefits from Chunyuan Dongmei, she naturally knows which side is worthy of her refuge."

"But Wang Liangyuan is not a shrewd person?"

Ke Jing raised the corners of his mouth and smiled indifferently, "Don't you think it will be exciting to fight in the nest?"
