Chapter 13 Servant
Shen Xuanji didn't expect to meet Xue Zhen here. He hurriedly said respectfully, "I've met the ninth prince."
"There is no one else, there is no need to be so polite." Xue Zhen wanted to reach out to help each other. Thinking that Shen Xuanji was dignified and afraid of making her unhappy, he lowered his hand and only smiled at Shen Xuanji.
Shen Xuanji was a little strange. When he met Xue Zhen twice, he saw that he was romantic and beautiful. He raised his hands and smiled without losing the momentum of the proud son of heaven, but he had never been like today. His face smiled clearly, but his eyes seemed to be sad.
"This flower is really rare. It's actually blue." Although Shen Xuanji was keen, he was afraid of making shallow words, which made Xue Zhen feel that she was frivolous, so he had to talk about him.
"This tree can only bloom in this mountain, but the name is 'Beauty Noodle'."
With a "pumbling", Shen Xuanji smiled and said, "Where is it good? Is this narrowing? Such a green, obviously an angry beauty!"
Xue Zhen held his forehead and only looked at the skin, but he didn't know that Miss Shen was not puzzled by the amorous feelings.
"I heard that there is a kind of flower in the southwest border called 'mandala', one of which is also called 'beauty noodles'. It is said that it can change three colors within a day, which is a metaphor for the beauty's delicate face, and it is appropriate to be happy and angered." Shen Xuanji was on a whim, and it was too late to repent. He smiled awkwardly at Xue Zhen and closed his mouth.
"So, in Miss Shen's opinion, what should this flower be called?" Xue Zhen's smile widened a little, and the black crystal eyes looked at Shen Xuanji. It turns out that it is also interesting to listen to a person's nonsense like this.
"..." Shen Xuanji muttered, and Xue Yu tilted his ear slightly, raised his lips and smiled, "Huh? What did Miss Shen say? The wind was so strong that I didn't hear it.
He is so nonsensible that Shen Xuanji couldn't stand it anymore and cleared his throat, "Cough, um... jealous woman's face."
Xue Zhen smiled, and Shen Xuanji vaguely felt that some danger was slowly approaching. She, who was eager to escape, saluted Xue Zhen again, "I won't disturb the ninth prince to appreciate the flowers. Good bye!"
Seeing that she turned around and wanted to leave, Xue Zhen quickly shouted, "Miss Shen!"
Shen Xuanji turned around and asked with a fake smile, "What else does the ninth prince have to order?"
"Can you stay with me for a while?" Xue Zhen's words were sincere, and Shen Xuanji was embarrassed to hear him say, "If you feel cold, put this on!" With that, he stretched out his hand to untie his body.
"What are you doing?" Shen Xuanji was shocked and waved his hand and retreated a few steps, "No, don't take it off..."
Just stand here with him for a while, and Chen should not be seen at this time. Shen Xuanji thought to himself, and when he looked at Xue Zhen again, he only felt that the smile on his face still did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Xue Zhen stood still, three or four steps away from her and whispered, "Actually, I'm here today to pray for the Empress Dowager."
Shen Xuanji didn't know how to answer, and said dryly, "The Empress Dowager Feng's body is healthy, and she will definitely turn bad luck."
Xue Zhen smiled bitterly, "Your words are exactly the same as what I thought in front of the Buddha."
Shen Xuanji saw that he seemed to be sad from the bottom of his heart, and his heart softened, and he felt a little pity for each other. She had the intention to comfort him, so she slowed down her tone, "Do you have a good relationship with the Empress Dowager?"
"My biological mother was originally from the palace..." Xue Zhenming knew that these things were the secrets of the palace, and he had never mentioned them, and even Huo Qiyu, who was close to his siblings, didn't know it very well. However, to Shen Xuanji, he naturally wanted to pour out those bitterness, anger and unwillingness that had been pressing in the bottom of his heart, but Shen Xuanji...
He stopped again and smiled at Shen Xuanji, "Forget it, these things are just to make Miss Shen more trouble. I don't think too much." Saying that, he apologized to Shen Xuanji.
Shen Xuanji looked around, suddenly smiled and lowered his voice, "Brother Fang is not far away. No one will know what you told me." ......
The next morning, Shen Xuanji and his party walked down to the foot of the mountain before returning to the Anguo Mansion in a carriage. And she didn't talk to anyone about meeting Xue Zhen last night.
Xue Zhen also went down the mountain, went back to the royal palace to freshen and change clothes, and went into the palace to visit the empress dowager. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the palace gate, he was blocked.
Xue Zhen is not a good man and woman, because he is handsome and often smiles, which is easy to make people lose awe. But he doesn't like to be angry, which doesn't mean he won't be angry.
At this time, he was stopped by a team of strange bodyguards at the door of the palace, and one of the leaders looked like him respectfully said, "The noble concubine has a purpose. The empress dowager is weak in her illness and is asking the imperial doctor for treatment. It's not appropriate to be disturbed. Why don't you come back tomorrow!"
Xue Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "When will I come to visit the Empress Dowager? Do I still need you to decide the date?"
"I dare not." The man knelt down, but refused to give way.
Xue Zhen laughed angrily and immediately bowed down slightly and looked at the man, "What's your name? It looks like a face."
"The name of the slave is not worth mentioning." At this time, the man was a little panicked and felt that there was something huge, dark and destructive behind Xue Zhen's handsome face.
"I thought you were so strong that you dared to stand in my way!" Xue Zhen waved his whip, and the man shouted sadly, and a blood mark appeared on his face.
Xue Zhen's beautiful eyes flashed a violent look, and he did not disembleate. Instead, he waved the whip and drove straight into the palace.
The team of bodyguards saw that he was originally a handsome man with fresh clothes and an angry horse, and suddenly became Shura. He was really not the appearance of the idle prince in his memory. For a moment, they were shocked and could not stop him. They actually watched him break into the palace door.
Xue Zhen rode the horse all the way, ignoring the surprised eyes of the people in the palace, and did not turn over and get off the horse until before the "Shou'an Hall". He strode into the hall and felt that the warmth in the hall was sparse. There were only a few palace people who served him. They looked either old or childish. His eyes turned red with anger and he couldn't wait to raise his sword to question the emperor in person.
"Is it Jiu'er?" A weak voice came from the bed tent.
Xue Zhen didn't care about being angry and quickly rushed into the inner room. There was not even a servant beside the Empress Dowager's bed, so she had to reach out and pull up the tent by herself. "Grandma, how are you feeling today?"
The Empress Dowager was weaker than a few days ago, and there was a trace of light in her eyes when she saw Xue Zhen coming in. She is strong-minded and can still speak with a smile at this time. "I don't feel so tired. Sit down and let's talk."
Xue Zhen obeyed and personally cushioned the Empress Dowager behind her, and then said, "Didn't you invite the imperial doctor to come for treatment? Why is there no one?"
The Empress Dowager sneered, "The imperial doctor comes every morning and evening, just to fool your stupid father."
"She can't wait like this." Xue Zhen gritted his teeth and said word by word in a low voice.
"I know her plan." A trace of light flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes, "It's just trying to kill me so that I can play with you." She sat up straight and held Xue Zhen's hand tightly. "Grandma has lived enough, but if you don't see you marry, grandma can't die!"
Xue Zhen also held the Empress Dowager's hand, "Grandma, don't worry, Sun'er knows that there is a magic doctor who can cure all diseases, and I won't let you die!"
The Empress Dowager nodded her head and slowly leaned back to the head of the bed. Her voice suddenly became clear. "The bitch surnamed Chen asked me to die, but I just didn't die!" ......
Xue Zhen left the palace and sent someone to find the Langzhong who was recommended to Wei Jue last time. Wei Jue took his medicine and has never coughed this winter. Although he is still weak, he is much better than in the past. The Duke of An was happy, and Wei Han also sent someone to send a heavy thank-you gift.
It's just that Langzhong is lazy and loves to travel. After opening another prescription for Wei Jue, he doesn't know where he is going. He only left a message that he will naturally come back in half a year.
Half a year! Xue Zhen couldn't wait for the Empress Dowager's body!
"Oil, don't look so dead." Huo Qiyu patted Xue Zhen on the shoulder, "I have to pretend to be a private one. As long as he is still in Dayun's land, I will find him for you."
Xue Zhen nodded and suddenly remembered another thing, "Why do you allow her to insert her hand into the guard of the palace gate?"
Huo Qiyu spread out his hands, "The emperor's imperial edict said that in the future, 'Jinwuwei' will only be responsible for internal safety, and other guards have been sent to guard matters. What can I do?"
Xue Zhen was helpless, but he couldn't care about these affairs at this time. Only the Empress Dowager's illness was the most important.
The efficiency of "Jinwuwei" was amazing, but on the fifth day, he brought Nalangzhong back to the capital. At that time, he was fishing in an ice cave in the north and was interrupted by "Jin Wuwei". He was very unhappy all the way to Qiongjiang, and his face was still smelly.
Xue Zhen sang to him, "I know that I have disturbed Mr. Yaxing's fishing, but it's really urgent. I apologize to you."
It's rare for Langzhong to see Xue Zhen's humble and polite attitude, and it's not easy to lose his temper again. He hummed in his nose, "Since it's urgent, don't waste any more time. Where is the patient now?"
Xue Zhen was overjoyed and quickly asked someone to put the car into the palace. When I came to the palace gate, I saw that it was still the bodyguards. When I saw Xue Zhen's car, I was too scared to speak loudly. I obediently opened the door and let the ninth prince enter the palace.
Xue Zhen smiled coldly. Sometimes he doesn't need much planning to do things. The world bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard. As long as there is momentum, he will not worry about things that can't be done.
Not long after arriving at the "Shou'an Hall", it was the first time for Langzhong to enter the palace, but he was calm. He neither pretended nor looked around. Xue Zhen saw it and couldn't help praising it in his heart.
He entered the hall to salute the Empress Dowager and reached out to check his pulse. Xue Zhen looked at his face nervously, but saw that he was expressionless. After a long time, he said on the tablet, "If you don't invite me, the life expectancy of the Empress Dowager is only two months left."
Xue Zhenru was struck by lightning, and he forced himself to ask, "What about now?" The voice is trembling slightly.
"Now, there are only two years left." ......
The most magnificent "Biwu Palace" in the harem is the bedroom of the Noble Concubine Li. It is covered with cyan marble all the way from the steps to the hall. It is engraved with lotus flowers, which is full of gold powder. The sun shines brightly, which means "step by step by step lotus".
The fragrance of the room in the main hall is as warm as spring. Princess Li sits on the soft couch in the middle and looks coldly at the person kneeling down, "If you weren't stupid, how could you be this situation? Originally, it only needed two months, but now it has been known by the little evil seed, and it has been a failure.
The person kneeling down heard her cold words and felt ominous, and quickly raised his head. It turned out that it was Aunt Tian, a middle-aged woman who had been serving the Empress Dowager, but she was not shrewd at all. She looked very frightened, "Your concubine, I have really tried my best!"
When Noble Concubine Li heard what she said, she suddenly smiled. She spoke gently and smiled, "That's because you don't have the ability. In this palace, all those who don't have the ability will die..."
