There was a heartbreaking coughing sound in the inner room. Xi Qian stood outside the door curtain and froze for a moment, then adjusted her expression and walked into the house under the guidance of the palace maid.
When the door curtain was opened, the strong smell of soup rushed towards the face, and a skinny figure also came into view.
Li Zhaoyuan sat on the table. There were plates of exquisite and delicious dishes on the table in front of her. It was clear at a glance that they were carefully prepared by the imperial chefs. However, there were few signs of the food on the plate being turned, so Li Zhaoyuan waved her hand.
People took the dishes away.
The little maid on the side looked at Mu Jieyu who was serving Li Zhaoyuan for dinner with embarrassment. She still did not move to remove the table. Mu Jieyu personally filled a bowl of soup and put it in front of Li Zhaoyuan, "If you really can't eat, you can drink some soup."
, this soup is made by the cooks from the dew on the bamboo leaves early in the morning. It is fragrant and elegant and not greasy at all!"
Li Zhaoyuan reluctantly picked up a spoonful and put it to her mouth, but she suddenly coughed and vomited out what she had just eaten. Mu Jieyu hurriedly ordered the maid to bring her some water to rinse her mouth, patted her back with her hand, and flashed her eyes.
A tear fell, and Mu Jieyu quickly took out a silk handkerchief and wiped it away.
Seeing the chaos in the room, Xi Qian didn't care to say hello. She hurriedly opened the box in her hand, took out a small yellow pill and stuffed it into Li Zhaoyuan's mouth. The effect of the small pill was very fast, and Li Zhaoyuan's cough stopped after a while.
Already.
"What kind of medicine is this? How can it take effect so quickly?" Mu Jieyu looked at the ordinary-looking pills in the box, her eyes filled with joy.
"This is the medicine specially prepared by the emperor for his wife. During the period of his tour, the emperor was very worried about his wife's illness, so he looked for some folk remedies. I heard that they are very effective! However, although this medicine works quickly, it is also harmful to the body.
The emperor asked the concubine to tell the empress that she should only take it when coughing and wheezing severely damages the heart."
Xiqian handed several boxes to the steward maid for safekeeping, and gave some instructions on how to take them. In fact, the medicine was prepared by Ziyun Mountain's master, but Yuwen Haoxuan wanted to conceal the specific location of the tour, so she could only tell the origin of the medicine.
Passed vaguely.
"Hey! It's because the medicine is poisonous. I'd better eat more food while I'm not coughing anymore." Mu Jieyu picked out a few delicious dishes and brought them to Li Zhaoyuan. Li Zhaoyuan only glanced at them with a look of sadness.
I can't lift my spirits.
Seeing this, Xiqian placed a carrot-carved dish in front of her and said, "My dear, look how much it looks like the maple leaves on the red maple platform!"
Hongfeng Terrace is a place full of maple trees next to Yangcheng. Everyone who has been to Yangcheng knows that Xiqian guessed that Li Zhaoyuan's illness was probably due to a knot in her heart, so she tried to mention something that would make her happy.
After hearing this, Li Zhaoyuan's face showed a long-lost brilliance. She held Xi Qian's hand as if she had a lot to say. However, there were other people around who simply asked, "Are they all okay?"
Xi Qian understood that the 'they' Li Zhaoyuan was referring to were General Li and the soldiers in the army. "They are all very good. They even asked about you, my empress!"
Although Mu Jieyu didn't know what riddle they were playing, she became happy when she saw Li Zhaoyuan's expression improved and hurriedly asked the palace servants to bring more food.
I don’t know whether it was because of the pills or because Li Zhaoyuan was in a good mood. In the past, she could only manage to eat a few mouthfuls of food, but today she ate more than half a bowl. After the meal, she cheered up and chatted with them about home affairs. The whole Wanyun
Everyone in the palace was overjoyed because of Li Zhaoyuan's improvement.
"Sister Xi has a way to make the empress eat so much food as soon as she comes back!" Mu Jieyu looked at Li Zhaoyuan's smile that she hadn't shown for many days and felt relieved from the bottom of her heart.
Xi Qian smiled and said, "If you want to say that the credit goes to Sister Mu, she always took good care of the empress when she was sick. If she hadn't taken good care of her, no matter how hard she tried, she wouldn't be able to do anything."
"You two should stop boasting. After all, you blame me for making you tired, right?" Li Zhaoyuan happily joked when she saw how lively they were talking about.
"Mother, that's not what I meant!" Xi Xian pretended to be wronged, making everyone in the room laugh.
"Sister Xi!" The room was talking lively when a clear shout came from outside. Wu Meiren rushed in without waiting for the call, and threw Xi Qian to stagger, "You have been going there for so many days.
Where is it? You didn’t come to see me, and no one gave me cakes to eat!”
Wu Meiren was like a child without candy, shedding tears of grievance while talking.
Mu Jieyu was afraid that she would disturb Li Zhaoyuan, so she pulled her aside and said, "Why did you run in without waiting for the call? My mother is sick now and can't stand your making such noise."
"It doesn't matter, let her stay here. I haven't seen Wu Meiren for a long time because of my illness." Li Zhaoyuan waved to Wu Meiren to sit next to her, then turned to look at Wu Meiren's stewardess Yue Ling, "How is Meiren's illness?
Is there any improvement recently?"
Only then did Xi Zhi notice that Yue Ling, who had followed Wu Meiren in, had grown taller than the last time she saw her, and her face had turned red. Her expression was no longer as timid as before, and she was much taller.
She is very confident and decisive. It seems that Fantao has taught her a lot in the past few months.
After Yue Ling saluted, she respectfully replied, "My beauty has been getting better and better these past few months, and she has also remembered many things from the past. I heard that my empress was ill a few days ago, and I was clamoring to send her some supplements."
!However, the food the queen has is too hospital-specific and cannot be eaten casually, so I didn’t let the beauty bring it.”
Li Zhaoyuan nodded and said to Xi Qian, "When you first said that you wanted to promote Yue Ling to be the maid in charge, I was worried that she was too young, but I didn't expect that she would do better than those experienced nuns. You can judge people.
Your eyesight is really not bad!”
Xiqian looked at Yue Ling with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, thank you. In fact, I just saw Yue Ling's hard work and hard work, and did not expect that she would do so well. This is all due to Yue Ling's own diligence and studiousness."
"If you do poorly, you will be punished. If you do well, you will naturally be rewarded. What reward do you want, Yue Ling?" Li Zhaoyuan said the reward in person, and all the maids and eunuchs in the room looked at Yue Ling with envy.
But Yue Ling was not in a hurry to ask for a reward. She knelt down and kowtowed to Li Zhaoyuan and said, "This slave has done the right thing and does not dare to ask for any reward. In fact, I am a stupid person. What I have learned today is nothing."
It was taught by Sister Fantao who is beside Xi Jieyu. If we talk about rewards, it should be given to Sister Fantao."
"Okay, I didn't expect you to be a person who values affection and justice, so I'll reward you all!"
"I want a reward too, I want a reward too!" Wu Meiren tugged on Li Zhaoyuan's sleeve and acted coquettishly.
Li Zhaoyuan took her hand lovingly and said, "Okay, what reward do you want?"
"Huh???" Wu Meiren thought about it seriously and said, "I want my mother to recover quickly, so that she can have the strength to protect me. I dreamed that Wang Zhaoyi hit me again last night."
Hearing the words "Wang Zhaoyi" from Wu Mei's mouth, Xi Xian looked at Mu Jieyu in surprise. Mu Jieyu walked up to her and whispered, "Wu Meiren's illness has been cured and she has not had any recurrence in the past six months."
, I don’t react that much when I hear the word Wang Zhaoyi, sometimes I will talk about it, but I don’t know if I will get sick again if I really see Wang Zhaoyi.”
Xi Qian couldn't help but hate Wang Zhaoyi even more when she saw the stupid Wu Meiren, but she couldn't hate her anymore when she thought of the old general Wang bowing to her.
