Deep ice

Xi Lian didn't dare to delay, taking advantage of Yuan Jing's early morning vacancy, he hurriedly took people to Huayu Palace.

The sun is shining brightly, and the palace is shining.

It is said that Xiuxiu just went to Huaihuai's house to observe and observe, and found that Huaihuai was still asleep, so she was not in a hurry to send someone to make breakfast, but just put away those horse money that was drying last night. Although zizi has some uses for dredging collaterals and relieving pain, it is also a forbidden drug in the palace, and it is rarely used in the imperial hospital. This is because Xiao Lizi dug out the stock on the other side of the empress and brought it to herself. It is a bit moldy and not good. The ones that hang out during the day can only be taken out in the dead of night to let the wind dry them, and then put away for later use.

Xiuxiu put on a dark face, and after putting away the two hanging coins, she went to do other work.

It wasn't until the sun was three poles that I had time to go to the Huaihuai house to urge people.

Pushing the door open, the palace servants had already refilled the charcoal fire inside the house. Although it was cold outside, the house was full of spring.

Xiuxiu walked in slowly, saw the person sleeping soundly in the brocade quilt, coughed lightly,

"It's time to get up."

The person on the bed turned over, the white cloth on his head was rolled loose, almost covering his eyes.

Xiuxiu bowed her body slowly, took a breath, and was about to speak, but she heard a knock on the door behind her.

"Eunuch Xiu, the prince next to Eunuch Xi came to report, saying that Eunuch Xi is about to arrive at Huayu Palace." The little eunuch outside the door said loudly.

Xiuxiu frowned, stood up and thought for a while, then turned and left the room.

When Xilian and his group arrived at the gate of Huayu Palace, Xiuxiu, the chief eunuch of Huayu Palace, had already been waiting at the palace gate for a long time. Seeing Xilian approaching from afar, she hurried forward to respectfully.

There was a forced smile on his face, and Xiuxiu arched his back extremely deeply, "Eunuch Xi, Huayu Palace is so remote, you can just send someone over to pass on something you have to say, why did you come here in person?"

Xi Lian put his hands in his sleeves, and gave Xiuxiu a cold look, "Our family still has a debt with you, so naturally we have to come here in person."

Xiuxiu followed Xi Lian, and smiled deeper, "Then I should come to the door to apologize personally, and I really can't bear to trouble Eunuch Xi like this."

Xi Lian was still cold-faced, and went straight into the palace, "You should put all your energy into doing things right, don't spend all your time doing superficial things."

Xiuxiu's eyes were full of gloom, but she still had a smile on her face, "Eunuch Xi is very true, I will keep it in my heart."

After finishing speaking, he led Xilian into the room next to Huayu's main hall.

Xi Lian entered the room and stretched out his hand, unfolded it in front of the copper stove, raised his eyes and glanced at the little eunuch who was following, the little eunuch also took a few steps forward knowingly, stood in front of Xiuxiu, and said loudly: "Who is Huayu Palace now?" Responsible for decocting medicine?"

Xiuxiu felt guilty, thinking that Xilian came here in person, the emperor must have intervened, and she couldn't prevaricate, so she made up a lie and said, "It's Chunbao."

The little eunuch continued: "Then Lao Gongxiu will bring the medicine up and show it to our family."

Xiuxiu glanced at Xi Lian who was warming her hands beside her, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa Xi, wait a moment."

Then he turned around and went out of the house, took the medicine, swiftly picked out the nux from the medicine before going back, and presented it to Xilian respectfully.

Xi Lian watched the little eunuch take the herbal medicine from Xiuxiu's hands, and sighed softly, "You are also the chief of the first palace, how can you entrust such an important job to a fool, you are really confused."

Although Xiuxiu had resentment, she didn't dare to express it, she just responded in a nonchalant manner, "My father-in-law taught me that from now on, I will do all the work of decocting medicine myself."

"You have to watch him subdue it every day," Xi Lian said with a grim expression, "I won't talk about anything else, just do it yourself!"

Xiuxiu nodded repeatedly, seeing that Xilian was about to leave, she felt very strange in her heart, Xilian suddenly came to inquire about this matter early in the morning, and then took away the medicine, there must be something going on, but she couldn't ask directly, so she Pretending to be casual, "Why, Mr. Xi, are you leaving now?"

Xi Lian's tone was flat, "Our family has no time to deal with you, the emperor is about to fall."

Xiuxiu said: "Elder-in-law, why did you take this medicine away? This is the last portion left in Yuyu Palace. Because the master didn't wake up, he didn't boil it. So do you want to drink this medicine today?"

Xi Lian wrapped his clothes tightly and went out, "You are starting to worry now."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the door open and stepped out of the house.

Following Xilian, the little eunuch looked back at Xiuxiu and made a point,

"Just wait."

Clouds and sun.

There was a sedan chair parked at the entrance of the imperial hospital, and the one who got down from it was none other than the eunuch Xilian, the chief supervisor of Duzhi.

Let's say that Xi Lian and his team rushed to the imperial hospital without stopping, entered the hospital in a hurry, and handed over the package of herbs to the imperial hospital for Dr. Xu to have a look.

The imperial doctor Xu brushed his beard, pulled it for a while, and said in a dragged voice, "This cinnabar and morning glory are all things that hurt the mind and the brain. They are not suitable for tonic. Why are they mixed in this tonic?"

Xi Lian twitched his lips, "Doctor Xu, our family sees that you are becoming more and more forgetful. You didn't even make these medicines yourself..."

The old doctor looked up at Xi Lian, his eyes were cloudy and dim like a thick fog.

Xi Lian's eyes rolled, "You forgot... a year ago... when the emperor got rid of any party..."

Only then did the old doctor let out a long breath, "The old man remembered."

Xi Lian dismissed all the people behind him, and his tone became lower and lower, "But it's becoming clearer how this person drinks..."

"It shouldn't be..." The old doctor put the package of medicine on the tray beside him, surrounded by densely packed green and red corked bottles, "put it here for now, after the old man makes it up, I will send it to my father-in-law." .”

Xi Lian said: "It's still the same sentence, this person has to be kept...not to lose his life..."

The old doctor lowered his head and stared at the herbs, the lines at the corners of his eyes gradually deepened, as if he hadn't heard Xilian's words, he rubbed his fingertips inside for a while.

Xi Lian's eyes fell on the blind medicine Xu Taiyi picked out, and he was very alert, "What is this?"

The old doctor pinched the small piece, knowing it well,

"The old man didn't put it in."

-

When Huaihuai woke up, it was already [-] noon.

The white cloth strips on the head fell loosely on the neck, and a black blood scab appeared on the forehead, which was hideous and ugly.

After getting up and putting on his clothes, Huai Huai tore off the strip of white cloth, and was thinking of pushing He Yan, but found that this person had disappeared again.

He was about to go out to look for it, but when he pushed the door open, he heard a scream, and when he looked up, it was Chun Bao who fell on the ground and frowned, as if he was in unbearable pain.

Huaihuai pulled Chunbao up from the ground, "Isn't it just a stumble, as for the pain."

Chun Baoqing had a face, and his whole body was shaking like chaff, "Huaihuai, something is wrong with my body these two days."

Huaihuai looked at Chunbao for a while, "It seems to be more active than before."

Chun Bao shook his head, followed Huai Huai into the house, "But it's also much more sad."

Huai Huai said: "What's wrong with your health?"

Chunbao took a hard breath, "I can't eat, I can't sleep soundly, I have shortness of breath and tightness in my chest all day long, like I'm dying of a serious illness."

Huai Huai said: "It's okay, I'll let Eunuch Xiu call the imperial physician for you."

Chunbao shook his head, "Could it be that I eat too much and do nothing on weekdays, which makes my muscles and bones weak."

Huai Huai said: "Recently I've been busy running around the front and rear palaces, and I really haven't taken care of you, but I don't know what you do all day long."

Chun Bao said: "Why don't you go for a walk with me now, so you can loosen your legs and feet, maybe it will be good if you move around."

Huaihuai nodded, "What can you do?"

Chun Bao said, "How about a cockfight?"

Huaihuai stood up, "Success, I'll ask Eunuch Xiu to prepare two of them."

After finishing speaking, he got up and was full of energy, "Grandpa Xiu!"

The palace servant at the door heard that she had something to say to Xiuxiu, and the moment she took a sip of tea, Xiuxiu was already standing in the Huaihuai room.

"what's up?"

"You get two live chickens."

That Xiuxiu's face was very ugly for a while, "You can teach our family where to get you live chickens."

Huaihuai anxiously said: "There is always a way, isn't it just a live chicken, if you can't get it, then Chunbao..."

Chunbao on the side suddenly interjected, "The little six in the imperial dining room have a good friendship with me, why don't I write him a letter, and Eunuch Lao Xiu will come over?"

Xiuxiu gave Chunbao a vicious look, turned around and left.

Huaihuai sighed, comforted Chunbao and said, "It's okay, I'll send a palace daughter later."

Then I went to the heated kang again, found a pen and paper, and spread it on the dining table, "Come and write."

Chunbao's face was like sandpaper, "I can't read."

Huaihuai froze, "That's not easy."

Chunbao said, "Why don't I read your writing?"

Huaihuai said: "It's also possible."

Then he dipped his pen into the ink, "Say what you want."

Chun Bao pondered for a long time, and after carefully choosing his words, he said slowly, "Give me two chickens, Zhang."

After Huaihuai wrote a few words, his expression became serious, and he couldn't help but ask, "How do you write chicken?"

Chun Bao said, "Dick's chicken."

He Yan on the side spoke lazily, "It's true."

Huaihuai glanced at He Yan, "Why are you appearing more and more elusive these days?"

He Yan leaned on the jade pillow on the heated kang, his gold-embellished skirt was loose, and he was very heroic, "I've always been here."

Huai Huai handed him the pen, "You write."

He Yan didn't even refuse, silently took the pen, dipped some ink, and the large characters that were laid out on the paper were all vigorous and powerful.

Huai Huai stared at the word, "Why are your words and mine so similar?"

Chunbao looked at Huaihuai for a long time, "Huaihuai, hurry up and write, my brain seems to be useless, why just watch you talking to yourself here."

Huaihuai couldn't care about Chunbao, seeing that He Yan had finished writing, he hurriedly took it out, and casually gave it to a palace daughter to take to the imperial dining room.

The maid was quick to do things, she brought back two old hens after only half a stick of incense, she only said that Xiaoliuzi wanted to make soup with chickens and had to send them back later.

Huaihuai was very happy, "Chunbao, go to the cockfight."

Chunbao became more and more sluggish, so he got up vigorously and went out with Huaihuai.

Xiuxiu was tidying up the courtyard with a dark face, watching Chunbao throw the chicken by the palace wall, and Huaihuai and Huai each raised one foot and bumped into each other madly.

It's a pity that before bumping into it twice, that Chunbao suddenly twitched all over, and fell straight down in the snow, smashing the hen, and its feathers fluttered.

Huai Huai was taken aback for a moment, then screamed heart-piercingly,

"Chunbao! You're crushing my feet!"
