After the carriage continued to move forward, her mood became much clearer than before, and even the bumps on the road became a little more lovely.
…
Zooey Palace.
People in the palace were coming in and out, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
Eunuch Liu asked Xie Yao to wait outside and go in to report.
At this time, Xie Yao saw a person coming towards him.
Unexpectedly, the first person he saw when he came here was neither the emperor nor the other concubines, but Nangong Yan.
Moreover, Nangong Yan just walked out of the dormitory.
Seeing Nangong Yan, Xie Yao suddenly understood.
The emperor must have brought Nangong Yan to treat Concubine Yi, and then Nangong Yan recommended her.
If the emperor wanted to find her to treat Concubine Yi, Nangong Yan would not appear here.
"Princess Han, we meet again." Nangong Yan walked over with a smile, her eyes filled with joy, as if there was something worth being happy about.
"It turns out that Princess Nangong is here too." Xie Yao nodded politely.
No matter what angle Nangong Yan recommended her from, it didn't matter to her. Treating illnesses and saving talents was the first priority.
As for what the joy in Nangong Yan's eyes means, is she happy to see her?
"Princess Han, since you and I met by chance in the palace, how about we take this opportunity to compare our medical skills after the diagnosis and treatment of Yi Fei?" Nangong Yan said very straightforwardly and firmly.
This was the third time Xie Yao heard a request to compete in medical skills. She shook her head and refused again, "My medical skills are always used to save people, not for show."
She thought she knew the source of the joy in Nangong Yan's eyes.
Nangong Yan wanted to learn medical skills from her, maybe because she thought she was in the palace at the moment, so she didn't dare to refuse.
It's a pity that she never plays her cards according to the routine.
Hearing Xie Yao's refusal, the smile on Nangong Yan's face froze, "Princess Han doesn't have to be like this. Since it's me who wants to discuss, I will naturally consider it carefully. Princess Han can rest assured. Before you finish the diagnosis and treatment of Yi Fei, I
Won’t bother you.”
"All I want is that you agree to spar with me."
Xie Yao sneered in her heart.
Nangong Yan is really persistent. From the first time they met, she wanted to learn from her, and now she even chases her to the palace for the sake of learning.
"We'll talk about other things later. I need to diagnose Concubine Yi first." It's quite annoying to be chased by Nangong Yan all the time and ask for consultation.
Seeing that Xie Yao did not agree, Nangong Yan did not show any anxious look on her face, but said firmly: "You will agree."
Really? Xie Yao smiled lightly.
"Princess Han, please come in." Eunuch Liu came over at this time and waved to Xie Yao. When he saw Nangong Yan, he bowed.
"Yes." Xie Yao responded and walked directly to Eunuch Liu.
Seeing Xie Yao leaving, the corners of Nangong Yan's mouth curled up more and more.
It was Xie Yao's words last time that reminded her that she didn't have to go to the emperor of Wanqi Kingdom to verify what Master Xie Yao said, but she could make the emperor speak and force Xie Yao to agree to spar with her.
She didn't believe that Xie Yao dared to shirk in front of the emperor. This time she wanted to win completely and cleanly, so that Xie Yao would be convinced of the defeat!
Let Xie Yao know, and let Chu Ye know that except for tuberculosis, Xie Yao's medical skills are far inferior to hers!
Xie Yao was brought into the side hall. The light inside was obviously much darker than the main hall, and the atmosphere was even more dull.
"I have met my father." Seeing the emperor not far away, Xie Yao saluted.
"No courtesy." The emperor's voice was a little deep, with a taboo that was hard to fathom.
"Why did the father call his daughter-in-law here?" Xie Yao asked knowingly.
They all said that one should not try to figure out the Holy Will, so she asked directly.
Anyway, she didn't expect the emperor's approval, as long as she wasn't punished.
"Have you met King Pingxi?" The emperor's first words made Xie Yao stunned for a moment, and then her heart slowly sank.
Sure enough, it’s still related to Peace Xiwang!
"Back to my father, yes." Xie Yao answered truthfully.
She couldn't hide it anyway, and she had no intention of hiding it.
"How is he doing?" the emperor asked, with a deep expression on his face that was so complicated that it was hard to see clearly.
"Uncle Huang's health is not bad." Xie Yao tried to speak in a general way.
The emperor sighed, and then remained silent for a moment before continuing: "I haven't seen him for ten years since the first year of Zhaochu."
Xie Yao did not respond and allowed the emperor to continue sighing.
This year is the tenth year of Zhaochu. Zhaochu is the year the emperor changed after he ascended the throne. The first year after he ascended the throne was the first year of Zhaochu.
The emperor was also known as Emperor Zhaochu.
When Emperor Zhaochu first came to the throne, King Pingxi was sent to guard the western frontier. His intention is self-evident.
Sure enough, the most ruthless emperor's family! For the sake of power, there is nothing that cannot be done.
After Emperor Zhaochu sighed, he suddenly changed the subject, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light, "King Pingxi is my imperial younger brother. If possible, I hope he can live in good health."
Xie Yao lowered his head slightly and nodded in agreement.
Who knows what Emperor Zhaochu is thinking, if he answers the wrong call, he may be killed.
"Are you confident that you can cure King Pingxi's illness?" Emperor Zhaochu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Xie Yao, as if he could see through people.
Xie Yao shook her head, "King Pingxi's stubborn illness has lasted for too long and is so intricate that my daughter-in-law has no chance of being cured."
In fact, she was not sure of curing King Pingxi, but it was not difficult to ensure that King Pingxi would not die.
After all, it is not easy to recover a limb that has been paralyzed for many years.
"Concubine Yi has been feeling unwell these past few days, and she has only been feeling unwell in the past few months. Go and take a look, Concubine Yi is in the main hall." Emperor Zhaochu raised his hand, his eyes light and majestic.
"Yes." Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and slowly retreated outside. She knew in her heart that although Emperor Zhaochu called her into the palace to diagnose Yi Fei, he was also beating her up.
But she didn't understand whether Emperor Zhaochu wanted her to treat King Pingxi.
When she said that there was no certainty of cure, Emperor Zhaochu's expression darkened, but she always felt that Emperor Zhaochu was not very disappointed.
"If you need anything related to Concubine Yi's condition, you can come directly to me." When Xie Yao was about to withdraw completely, Emperor Zhaochu said.
"My daughter-in-law understands." Xie Yao paused for a moment, then stepped back.
He sighed in his heart: Chu Han said that Concubine Yi was favored, and it seems that what he said was true.
After exiting the side hall, there was no trace of Nangong Yan outside.
He turned around and just entered the main hall. When he walked inside, he saw Yi Fei lying on the bed.
Although her face is not the most beautiful in the harem, it gives people the purity and femininity of Xiaojiabiyu. No wonder she became the favorite concubine.
Overall, Yi Fei's complexion was pretty good, but she was a little depressed, her face was a little pale, and she had cold sweat on her forehead.
"I have met Concubine Yi, and I would like to say hello to Concubine Yi." Xie Yao stepped forward and saluted.
Concubine Yi glanced at Xie Yao, moved the corners of her mouth, and smiled, "No need to be polite, sit down. I am really in severe pain, do you have any way to treat me?"
