043 How to resist the decree

"The imperial doctor, please follow the maidservant." Siqin led the imperial doctor sent by Emperor Xuan of Qin into Bai Xijing's bedroom all the way, but saw that Bai Xijing was sitting through the screen pavilion, instead of pretending to be sick and lying **. She couldn't help but be a little surprised, but she still quietly asked Bai Xijing for peace and said, "Princess, the imperial doctor has arrived."

The figure behind the screen moved slightly and heard a clear voice slowly: "Your Majesty is so concerned about Xijing's condition. Xijing is very grateful, but Xijing's illness has recovered, and there is no big problem. If the imperial doctor doesn't believe it, he can come to diagnose it.

The imperial doctor first saluted the screen, and then said slowly, "Well, please cooperate with the princess."

Siqin cleverly directed the little maid to bring a pear wooden round stool on the side of the screen, and then spread a layer of mattress on it. Then he moved a small number horizontally in front of the pear wooden round stool, but it was covered with a good soft pillow. Imperial doctor, please."

After the imperial doctor sat down on the stool, he stretched out half of his wrist behind the screen, slender and white, like a good jade sculpture. The others are not clear, but a white figure can be faintly seen. The imperial doctor pretended to diagnose the pulse, but his eyes kept looking into the screen, but he still couldn't see clearly. It was not until Siqin coughed with some dissatisfaction that the imperial doctor restrained.

"The princess's pulse is indeed stable, and it seems that her body is fine." The doctor nodded and finally came to a conclusion.

However, Bai Xijing knew that the real highlight was afraid that it would only start now. Behind the screen, she couldn't help frowning, but her tone became calmer and softer and softer: "Thank you for your hard work."

The imperial doctor slowly stood up, but his eyes were still fixed at Bai Xijing's figure, but his voice was gentle and respectful: "The princess is serious. This is my business. It's just... Your Majesty misses the princess's body, gives her a bowl of tonic, and asks the princess to drink it.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room changed their faces. Everyone knows what happened at that night banquet. How could Emperor Xuan of Qin, who was so kindly send a special doctor to visit Bai Xijing who stopped him? And it is not gold, silver and jade, but a bowl of tonic.

I don't know what's in this bowl, and I don't know. But judging from this situation, it will certainly not be a good thing. Maybe it will be the poison.

The whole room suddenly fell into a panic silence, and a pair of eyes quietly looked at the slender shadow behind the screen. What should I do now? If you refuse, it is a great crime against the decree! But if you drink it...

The imperial doctor was not in a hurry, but looked at Bai Xijing's figure in a leisurely. After a long time, he said again, "The princess has heard what the old man said. If you hear it clearly, take the medicine, so that the medicine will not be bad when it cools down."

Looking at this situation, you have to see Bai Xijing drink the medicine with your own eyes. The person in the room suddenly took a breath, which had been hanging on his chest. He dared not breathe out easily and grew his chest around.

"Xijing... Xijing thanked your majesty for your grace, this... drink now, Siqin brings the medicine to me." Bai Xijing's voice trembled slightly because of tension. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, she still knew her current expression. However, Bai Xijing's expression at this time was not as good as what everyone guessed. Her face was very calm and calm, which was completely different from the emotions expressed in the voice. If you look closely, you will find a playful smile on the corners of her lips.

Siqin couldn't bear it, but finally she could only answer "yes" and went to take the food box in the hand of the imperial doctor.

"Wait." Unexpectedly, Siqin had not taken the medicine in her hand, but the imperial doctor suddenly stretched out a hand to stop him. His chin was slightly raised, but his voice was still humble and obedient: "Princess, your majesty has a decree to see the princess drink the medicine with my own eyes. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the princess to hide behind the screen like this?"

It seems that Bai Xijing is going to come out from behind the screen.

The person behind the screen did not speak for a long time. The imperial doctor's eyes narrowed slightly. When he was about to say something more, the slightly tender but extremely clear voice suddenly sounded: "The imperial doctor's words are very true, but the princess can never agree to the imperial doctor's request. Although I am a princess of the country, my status is also extremely noble. Does the doctor think that the princess's face can be seen?

"Is the princess going to resist the order?"

"Anti-zhi? The imperial doctor laughed. Has Xijing ever done anything against the decree? The figure behind the screen seemed to move slightly, and then the figure seemed to lift the broken hair in his ear: "The imperial doctor said that it was your Majesty's will, but it was all oral. No one in the palace had ever answered your majesty's decree to Xijing. Besides, today's holy emperor is wise, benevolent and kind-hearted. He must know this most basic etiquette problem. The doctor diagnoses the pulse of the noble daughters and wives of each country, and they are not allowed to see their faces. The imperial doctor said that it was your majesty's will, but Xijing didn't believe that your majesty was so unmannerable and gave such instructions.

The imperial doctor seemed to be stunned. Bai Xijing's lips were slightly hooked, but his voice was still calm: "Since your majesty sent the imperial doctor to diagnose Xijing's pulse three times and twice, and specially gave special tonics, your majesty must be concerned about each feudal countries. Such a famous king will ask the emperor to break the rules to see the princess with his own eyes. The will. Doctor, do you think so?"

The imperial doctor just listened to Bai Xijing's slightly trembling trill. He thought she was a little girl who knew nothing about the world, so he was relieved, but he didn't expect that the seemingly weak little girl suddenly became powerful the next moment. She couldn't react for a long time after being asked by such a sudden theory. For a while, it fell to the bottom.

If you insist that this is the imperial edict issued by Emperor Xuan of Qin, then you will obey that meaning and admit that today's emperor is mediocre and has no etiquette, then it is not Princess Xijing who will be sentenced to death, but her own life. But if you don't follow the imperial edict, it's really not easy for you to work here.

If you don't check it for a while, you are already in a dilemma.

seemed to be aware of the embarrassing situation of the imperial doctor, but Bai Xijing behind the screen smiled gently, which gave people a sense of affinity like a spring breeze. If the doctor is worried, he can watch me drink this tonic through the screen. With this screen, the imperial doctor can see all the movements of Xijing and avoid seeing Xijing's face clearly. Isn't it the best of both?

The imperial doctor is still a little reluctant, but there is nothing he can do now. He just wants to deal with this side first. Then he nodded and answered, "Well, princess, please."

Siqin then took the food box from the attendant and put it on the table, then took out a steaming bowl inside and slowly walked behind the screen.

Although he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, the person's movements were indeed clear. Bai Xijing took the medicine bowl, blew it gently, and then took the medicine bowl down and drank it. She could also faintly see her throat tling slightly, as if she had drunk.

Looking at the clean medicine bowl brought by Siqin, the imperial doctor nodded and said, "Princess, please take care of yourself. I will leave first." After saying that, he was about to retreat, but he was thinking about how to restore his life like Emperor Xuan of Qin.

At the moment when the imperial doctor was about to go out, Bai Xijing's shallow voice came again, but I don't know why this seemingly cordial greeting made people feel creepy.

I only heard the Bai Xijing ask with a smile, "Doctor, is your family all right?"

The imperial doctor didn't know what to say, but he still nodded and answered "Shanghao" out of courtesy, and then turned around and shook his sleeves and left.

But when he walked out of the White Palace, a family member in his house hurried over: "Your Excellency, my lord is not good, and the water suddenly left the house."

The imperial doctor's face turned pale and almost couldn't stand still. Fortunately, he asked the family to hold him. Is there anyone injured in the family? After taking a deep breath, the doctor calmed down and said.

"It's lucky to say that my family went to the theater today, so they didn't meet this walk." The little man looked very emotional.

But he didn't know that the imperial doctor suddenly turned pale after hearing this sentence, and there was fear in his eyes. Bai Xijing's smiling question suddenly echoed in his ear, and hers "How's your family?" That's what it means. This time, it's just a warning. If I go back to the palace this time and say something that shouldn't be said to Emperor Xuan of Qin, I'm afraid it won't be the absence of my family the next time I walk.

"My lord, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly turn pale?" Seeing this, Ding hurriedly helped the imperial doctor walk towards his carriage. Does the adult have to go back to the palace first?"

After the doctor staggered into the carriage, he said with lingering heart, "Let's go to the palace first."

It's miscalculated, that little girl... No, that kind of thought is not something a little girl can have. The imperial doctor shook his head quickly, and then said in a low voice, "The feng shui takes turns, and I'm afraid this side can't be offended."

At this time, Bai Xijing suddenly smiled after the doctor left, and then immediately called out, "Siqin, come and help me change my clothes. The medicine is all sprinkled on it, and the towel is soaked. It's really uncomfortable."

Then he heard that Siqin also smiled and said, "Princess, fortunately the medicine is warm, otherwise it won't burn you."

"Good Siqin, you don't know that my throat hurts when I just pretended to drink medicine. Why don't you come and help me change my clothes and get some water to moisten my throat?
