As the sky gets brighter, the warm sun appearing in the sky makes the white snow that fell last night shine brightly, making Xiangyun Temple even more dazzling.
However, what is really eye-catching is You Kouyi, who is sitting in front of the bronze mirror with a face full of spring blooms. She is caressing her right cheek in trance, just because she is caressing the place where Dongling Yuanyong kissed before he left.
Looking at the "proof" that the vine branches were cut on the bed sheets, there was no joy on her face that she had become a real woman. It seemed that she was already a woman worthy of the name Dongling Yuanyong, which was not something worthy of her joy!
She was actually a little confused about last night's affair, probably because she drank too much. The only thing she remembered clearly was the moment when she was kissed by Dongling Yuanyong... After that, she was in a daze, and she seemed to
She felt like she was being embraced by Dongling Yuanyong, but it seemed like she wasn't. Her memory is still incomplete.
If she hadn't seen Dongling Yuanyong sitting beside the bed when she opened her eyes, waiting for her to wake up, she might have thought that last night was just a dream.
However, she recalled that Dongling Yuanyong had just left and said with a warm smile:
"Your concubine, I was very satisfied with your service last night...!"
Then, he left a gentle kiss on her face, and he was considerate enough not to let her get up and send him away.
To be honest, during the short time after You Kouyi woke up, Dongling Yuanyong seemed to be doting on her, but he left in a hurry. She didn't even have a chance to say a few more words, and he left.
Regarding this, You Kouyi felt a layer of fog in her heart that she couldn't see clearly.
If it weren't for the fact that her naked body was sore and there were traces on the sheets that proved she had become a woman, she really couldn't believe her last night...!
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has sent many high-quality supplements to help your Majesty take good care of your body..."
As Manzhi's joyful voice came, You Kouyi suddenly came back to her senses and turned to look at Manzhi, who was walking over with something in his hand.
Manzhi was followed by several palace maids who were also carrying trays. When they placed a handful of things in front of You Kouyi, You Kouyi was not surprised by the rewards.
However, she was still very satisfied with Dongling Yuanyong's preferential treatment. Perhaps, she was secretly worried that Dongling Yuanyong was deliberately neglecting her, but she was overthinking it.
Even if he is an emperor, he is still a man. Since he embraced her body and said personally that he was satisfied with her, it is not impossible for her to win his heart.
It’s just that she had to put in so much effort to squeeze Ximen Yourong away. What about the future? What’s more, did she really squeeze Ximen Yourong away?
With a frown, You Kouyi asked the other servants to go out, and then asked Manzhi:
"What's the situation now at Lengyue Palace?"
Manzhi understood what You Kouyi was asking, and she replied in a low voice:
"Your Majesty's suspicion seems to be correct. Ximen Yourong's fear of the cold is not pure. In addition, after we left yesterday, Ximen Yourong locked himself in the dormitory and never came out. Until it was almost dark, Ximen Yourong beside Ximen Yourong
Qing sent people to ask for the imperial physician, but the person who went was Imperial Physician Ai. Moreover, except for Imperial Physician Ai and Xiang Qing, no one else is allowed to enter Ximen Yourong's dormitory. In addition, Imperial Physician Ai has not left Lengyue Palace until now."
Yesterday, You Kouyi suspected that Ximen Yourong was too afraid of the cold and had hidden secrets. Manzhi went to find out more about the situation, but Manzhi still didn't know the specific truth.
You Kouyi frowned. She didn't care whether Ximen Yourong's injury was good or bad. What she cared about was "Mr. Ai".
Imperial Physician Ai is Dongling Yuanyong's exclusive imperial physician. Without Dongling Yuanyong's order, Imperial Physician Ai will not treat others.
But Dr. Ai stayed at Lengyue Palace last night. Was that the instruction of Dongling Yuanyong, or was Dr. Ai willing to stay there?
If Imperial Physician Ai's stay at Lengyue Palace was Dongling Yuanyong's order, You Kouyi would have to wonder if Ximen Yourong was really neglected by Dongling Yuanyong?
To understand the truth clearly, it is not enough to just rely on bits of news from Lengyue Palace. Some truths must be heard and seen with one's own eyes in order to make a clear judgment.
Considering this, You Kouyi decided to go to Lengyue Palace again. Anyway, she was obliged to ask the Queen for her blessing!
At this time, Lengyue Palace was as quiet as usual, and it was especially quiet today, just because Ximen Yourong hadn't woken up yet.
The palace maids and eunuchs only knew that Ximen Yourong was seriously ill last night, but except for Xiang Qing and Dr. Ai, no one else knew whether Ximen Yourong was well or not.
To be precise, even Xiang Qing didn't know what happened last night. As soon as she woke up, she found herself on the bench where Ximen Yourong usually lay down. When she came to her senses, she hurriedly looked at Ximen lying on the bed.
Tolerant.
What reassured her was that Ximen Yourong was only slightly sick, but her breathing was steady and her body temperature was normal. Just looking at it, Ximen Yourong seemed to be asleep, and there was no need to worry at all.
After Xiang Qing felt at ease, she reached out and gently pushed Doctor Ai, who could fall asleep even sitting up, and called out:
"Mr. Ai, wake up...!"
Doctor Ai's head shook, and he blinked his squinted old eyes, and looked around again before he came to his senses. He stood up from the chair unsteadily, but his old waist was so stiff that it made him ache, "Ouch.
"Sounded.
Xiang Qing stretched out her hand to support him and asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Ai, what happened last night? How did I fall asleep? How did my young lady survive it? Did you help my young lady, Dr. Ai? Is my young lady okay now...?"
"Hey, you little girl asked so many questions at once, my mind was already confused, but after you asked me so many questions, my mind became even more confused."
"Then tell me first, is my lady okay now?"
Xiang Qing was most concerned about Ximen Yourong's well-being. She clearly remembered seeing Ximen Yourong in pain last night, and she cried profusely.
At that time, she was prepared to prepare "Fire Soup" for Ximen Yourong to soak, and then asked Dr. Ai to help give Ximen Yourong an injection to absorb the effect of "Fire" and relieve the pain of the poison.
But Ximen Yourong had carefully told her before she woke up that she was not allowed to use the "flame" to soak her.
Because of the special circumstances of this poisonous attack, even if the "flame soup" could help her get rid of the cold to some extent, the premise was that she still had the energy to inject herself to absorb the medicinal effect of the "flame".
If she can't take the needle for herself, it will be a waste of the "fire" that is extremely precious to her.
Of course Xiang Qing knew the reason, but seeing Ximen Yourong in such pain, she couldn't think too much about it, even though in the end she had no chance to use the "flame".
It's really strange to say that. Did she faint or fall asleep last night? Why didn't she remember it?
It was impossible to say that she had fallen asleep. Ximen Yourong was already like that, how could she still be sleepy?
Could it be that she fainted from fright because she was anxious? That's not right. She had seen Ximen Yourong in distress more than once, but she had never fainted from fright. At most, she just cried in a hurry.
Xiang Qing's mind was spinning, and she had forgotten that she was just anxious to know if Ximen Yourong was okay.
Doctor Ai didn't know what was going on in her mind. He first checked Ximen Yourong's condition, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xiang Qing:
"The Queen is just a little weak now. Everything else is fine. Little girl, please rest assured."
When Xiang Qing heard this, she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, sighed deeply and expressed gratitude to the sky:
"God, thank you for letting my young lady get through it again. Thank you so much..."
"It wasn't God who helped the Queen get through this difficult time. You can't thank God!"
Doctor Ai muttered as he poured a cup of tea to moisten his dry throat. He knew very well what happened last night. He really wanted to thank His Majesty who did good things without leaving his name, but Doctor Ai had to hide it.
Can't tell the truth.
However, Imperial Physician Ai didn't say anything because Dongling Yuanyong told him to keep it secret. He just knew that Dongling Yuanyong had other plans, and he would naturally cooperate with him as he was loyal to Dongling Yuanyong.
Xiang Qing's eyes were blurred and she smiled innocently. She thought that Doctor Ai was dissatisfied with him being ignored, so Xiang Qing said wisely:
"I know, I know. The main thing is to thank Dr. Ai for your hard work."
"Uh-huh...I stayed up all night with my old bones. It's hard work..."
Doctor Ai was embarrassed. Xiang Qing regarded him as Ximen Yourong's savior. He really deserved it.
Xiang Qing didn't pay attention to Dr. Ai's discomfort. She carefully helped Ximen Yourong pull up the quilt to prevent her from getting cold.
Seeing that Ximen Yourong was safe and sound, Xiang Qing felt grateful to Doctor Ai again.
After all, Doctor Ai is His Majesty's imperial physician. He will definitely be able to help a lot at critical times. Otherwise... Xiang Qing seemed to suddenly remember something. She looked at Doctor Ai again and asked:
"Mr. Ai, how did you help my young lady get through this?"
She remembered that Dr. Ai seemed to be helpless against her young lady's poisonous hair, right?
"Well... I am also a doctor who has been practicing medicine for decades. I have my own "secret recipe"."
"What's the secret recipe?" Her lady's cold poison cannot be solved by any secret recipe.
"Ahem... Since it's a secret recipe, how can you say it casually? In short, as long as you know that the Queen is fine, don't worry about the rest."
Doctor Ai felt helpless for a while. Recently, because of Dongling Yuanyong, he who had been open and honest all his life felt that he was about to become a "liar"!
"But……."
"Um……."
I don't know if he was disturbed, but a faint sound of waking up came from Ximen Yourong's throat, which also interrupted Xiang Qing's unanswered doubts in time.
Seeing Ximen Yourong open his eyes, Xiang Qing immediately put aside her doubts. She hurriedly sat by the bed and said:
"Miss, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell? Are you thirsty, hungry...?"
Ximen Yourong looked at Xiang Qing. She calmed down her thoughts, then opened her dry lips and asked hoarsely:
"Where's Ruozun, is he okay?"
Compared to herself, Ximen Yourong cared about Ximen Ruozun first. Her last memory was that her body was so cold and painful that it numbed her senses!
But the strange thing is that this is not the first time that she has been in a state of numbness due to poisonous poison. In the past, she endured the pain so calmly, and she did not feel that her cold poison was terrible at all!
However, she clearly remembered the infinite loneliness and grievance she felt before she passed out last night.
That kind of grievance seems to be more intense now... Why!?
