Chapter 60 Send Soup to the Prince
"I came here because it's closer here." She is not very good at making a fire, so she still needs the help of the cook after a while. Although she also cooks some dishes in Zhaoyang Palace, it was Yuexi who made a fire for her. I don't know if she really doesn't have that cell. Anyway, no matter how she does it, the fire can't rise!
"So that's it. Since you are making soup for His Royal Highness, come in." The cook is neither humble nor arrogant. I don't know if it's because everyone's consumption is equal because of the lack of water now, or whether she feels that even if she flatters the people around the prince, she can't fly to what extent for her, a rough old lady, so she doesn't even bother to flatter.
Xie Zhiruo just wants to melt the pills she made and boil water with some ginger slices, which can enhance people's resistance. In Zhaoyang Palace, she often drinks it in order to adjust her body. Not to mention, her body is much tougher than before.
Xie Zhiruo carefully held the soup put in the porcelain cup, and the pace on her feet unconsciously accelerated a little, because if she doesn't walk faster, the soup will easily cool down, and it will be bad at that time.
After asking where several servants Mu Yunting was, Xie Zhiruo followed the guided road to the yard where Mu Yunting's study was located.
"Your Highness, it's late at night. You can have a rest after drinking this warm soup." A charming woman with small facial features in Mu Yunting's study, also holding a porcelain cup in her hand, walked to Mu Yunting's desk step by step.
It's very cold on autumn nights, but the woman's body is only wearing a thin gauze. The belly pocket in the gauze is looming, and the jade rabbit on her chest keeps beating, looking at the strange and seductive.
Mu Yunting seemed to be completely unaware of the existence of a woman. He looked at the folds on the desk without raising his head. His angular side face was very resolute in the dim light.
The woman can't move her eyes when she sees Mu Yunting like this. Such a beautiful man, such a noble identity, if she can become his woman, no matter how low she is, she is willing. No wonder that woman climbed into his bed by such a means.
"Get out." Mu Yunting's voice was very cold and deep, with a very impatient gloomy feeling.
Just two short words shattered all the woman's illusions. Why did she forget that he was the famous cold-faced prince at the top of the country! It's a 'King of hell' that makes you die three times, and you will never live to the fifth time! Thinking of this, the woman unconsciously shrank for a moment. It seemed that she was too proud!
Although she has begun to be a little scared, she still doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Maybe she will succeed?
"Your Highness, it's cold in the middle of the night. You'd better drink this bowl of hot soup to warm up first." The woman's voice is very soft and charming, which can make any normal man's bones crisp off, but Mu Yunting is not a normal person!
"Xiao Huazi!" Mu Yunting roared impatiently.
"Yes, yes, someone! Pull this woman out!" Xiao Huazi, who was standing outside the door, quickly answered and asked the bodyguard to pull the woman out. He thought that this woman was sent by the Crown Princess, otherwise he would not let her go in and disturb His Royal Highness. Fortunately, His Royal Highness was not really angry, otherwise he would have a good-looking one.
"I'm here to send soup to His Royal Highness. Why did you drive me out?" The woman struggled very reluctantly. She was originally Cao Shu's concubine, and she could be favored by Cao Shu with her good appearance. However, because Cao Shu's real lady was so powerful that she almost fell into her hands several times.
After she met the crown princess Shen Yuxuan with Mrs. Cao today, she felt that Shen Yuuan should be a very kind person and easier to deal with. She also thought of the prince Mu Yunting like a fairy. This was the evil heart. She wanted to climb onto Mu Yunting's bed, but she didn't know her own wishes. She made a mistake. Now I'm afraid she can't even be Cao's concubine. Now she can only pray that she won't be kicked out of Cao's house.
Xie Zhiruo, standing not far from the courtyard, looked at the woman who came out of Mu Yunting's yard by the bodyguard. She didn't understand why there was a strange woman in Mu Yunting's study. Generally, she had seen the people serving in front of Mu Yunting, so she had this doubt.
"Without the order of His Royal Highness, no idle person can enter." As soon as Xie Zhiruo got to the door of the courtyard, she was stopped by the guards standing on both sides and didn't let her continue to walk in.
"I, I'm here to send soup to His Royal Highness. Please ask the bodyguard to inform me." Xie Zhiruo said politely to the bodyguard.
Hearing this, the bodyguard showed a contemptuous smile on his face, and another one came to the door!
"Do you want me to say it again? No one can enter without the order of His Royal Highness. Don't you understand? As for the soup in your hand, you'd better keep it and drink it yourself. Did the woman who was dragged out just now see it? She is here to bring soup to His Royal Highness! If you don't want to have such a result as her, just leave by yourself!"
Xie Zhiruo really didn't expect that there would be someone else to send soup to Mu Yunting. She was just curious about who that woman was.
"If that's not the case, big brother, this soup can prevent His Royal Highness from getting sick. If I can't go in, can you ask the bodyguard to do me a favor and send it to His Royal Highness? Zhi Ruo, please ask the bodyguard!" Even if she doesn't let her in, she is willing. Her ultimate goal is to let Mu Yunting drink this bowl of soup.
"I told you to leave with your broken soup. If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude!" Although Xie Zhiruo looked very pitiful, the order was an order, and they absolutely obeyed Mu Yunting's words.
"Brother bodyguard, I'm the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital. This is what Dr. Zhao asked me to bring. Now the plague in the disaster area is so serious. I think the bodyguard Ye doesn't want His Royal Highness to have something to do, right? You are afraid that I will disturb His Royal Highness, so I won't go in, but this bowl of soup must be served to His Royal Highness for Zhiruo. She is worried about Mu Yunting's body. This kind of hard work is easy to get sick. Even if the foundation of his previous body is good, it can't be taken lightly.
After listening to Xie Zhiruo's words, the bodyguard frowned in some embarrassment. This kind of thing is really not clear. Is this soup really so important? Did Dr. Zhao ask you to send it? That's all. At worst, it's just a few words to be taught a lesson by His Royal Highness. If this is true, it will be more troublesome for me.
"Then give me the soup, you are here, and I'll take it in."
"Thank you so much, bodyguard!" Xie Zhiruo smiled happily on her face.
"Your Highness the Prince."
Mu Yunting put down the fold in his hand, closed his eyes tiredly and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, Dr. Zhao of the Imperial Hospital was worried about your body and asked a woman to bring you a bowl of soup."
"Come in."
"Yes."
The bodyguard walked into the study and put the porcelain cup on the desk.
"This was sent here by Dr. Zhao?" Looking at the porcelain cup on the desk, Mu Yunting asked.
"Yes, that's what the woman outside said to her subordinates."
"The woman outside?" Mu Yunting raised his eyebrows doubtfully. Don't be the same as the one just now!
"Yes, the woman said that she was from the imperial hospital, and it was Dr. Zhao who asked her to bring the soup here."
"Oh? Then why didn't that woman come in? Mu Yunting probably knew who that person was in his heart, and he looked at the corners of the porcelain cup's mouth with a sneer.
"My subordinates didn't let her in, but she insisted that my subordinates bring the soup in."
"Is she still outside the yard now?"
"Yes."
"Bell her in." He wants to see what she wants to play!
"Yes."
Xie Zhiruo stood in the study with some panic. She was very happy to have the opportunity to see Mu Yunting, but she was also very uncertain. She didn't know what Mu Yunting was asking her to come in...
"Did you send this cup of soup?"
"Yes, I sent it." Xie Zhiruo felt that she was being interrogated as a prisoner, as if she was waiting for a cruel sentence after the interrogation. Looking at Ye Yan's face, she hated this feeling.
"Do you think Dr. Zhao asked you to bring this soup? Is this true?
Without looking up, Xie Zhiruo knew that Mu Yunting's eyes looked at her like an eagle, because she felt the two hot eyes. It seemed that she was going to have no place to escape. She just told a lie to let the bodyguard bring in the soup. Unexpectedly, Mu Yunting could even see this.
"Yes, I made it myself..." She is not a person who is good at lying, so she can only tell the truth.
There was a proud smile in Mu Yunting's eyes. Sure enough, he didn't guess wrong. What Xie Zhiruo said was deceptive. Her purpose should be very simple, isn't it? Is she trying to get close to herself? I don't know if there is any 'material' added to this soup!
"Do you think I will make the same mistake!" Suddenly, Mu Yunting patted the table without warning, shaking the things on the table.
Xie Zhiruo was shocked by Mu Yunting and subconsciously shrank her body.
"What? Do you know you're scared now? Why didn't you look so pitiful when you framed me? When he came to Xie Zhiruo, Mu Yunting grabbed Xie Zhiruo's skirt and said in a low voice.
"I, I, I... No, I'm just... just worried..." Xie Zhiruo's tears have been spinning in her eyes, but she still tried her best to keep her tears from falling down. However, she really felt so wronged in her heart. She was just worried about his body. Why, why did she think of her that? What's bad?
"What? Is there nothing to say again? What do you think is added to this soup tonight? Is it a ecstasy? Or is it aphrodisiac? "What?" The more Mu Yunting said, the more angry he became, and the anger that rushed to his forehead gradually covered up the disappointment in his heart.
"I, I really don't, I'm just worried about your body..."
"What's the difference between you and the woman who was pulled out just now? What else do you women know besides competing for favor all day long? Are you willing to give everything in order to get the favor of my palace? Mu Yunting suddenly shook off Xie Zhiruo and angrily swept the porcelain cup on the desk to the ground.
Xie Zhiruo, who fell to the ground, looked at the broken porcelain cup with tears in her eyes. She felt that her heart was like the broken porcelain cup, which broke again.
Yes, she is constantly telling herself that in order to make 'Ye Yan' remember her, in order to get 'Ye Yan' back to her side, she is willing to do everything, but her heart will still drip blood again and again in the face of Mu Yunting's ruthlessness and again.
She really doesn't know how long she can last...
"I'm just worried about your health, Your Highness. I'm afraid that you will overwork, so I cooked a bowl of soup that is good for your body... If Your Highness doesn't like it, I won't cook it next time..." Xie Zhiruo closed her eyes. When she opened it again, the tears in her eyes had been forced to suppress a lot by her. Although her voice was choked, she still said something.
"Your Highness is busy with business. If you don't disturb your Highness." With that, Xie Zhiruo staggered up and left Mu Yunting's study with full sadness and loss.
Mu Yunting's anger had gradually subsided, and his eyes inadvertently saw the soup that he swept to the ground. Xiao Huazi."
"I'm here." Hearing the sound, Xiao Huazi ran in quickly.
"What do you have to order, Your Highness?"
"Pick up the remaining soup in the cup and check it to see what's in it!"
"Uh-huh... Yes, I'll do it now." Xiao Huazi looked at the broken porcelain cup on the ground and sighed in his heart. Fortunately, the porcelain cup was not so broken, otherwise the soup would be sprinkled on the ground!
Looking at the door, Mu Yunting frowned slightly and didn't know what he was thinking...
The early morning wind in Zhenbei gives people a very bleak feeling, with a faint sadness.
"Miss Xie, what's wrong with your feet? Why is it a little unnatural to watch you walk? Li Dongxu looked at Xie Zhiruo's feet doubtfully. Just now, when he was in the back, he felt that Xie Zhiruo was a little strange to walk, so he came forward and asked with concern.
Xie Zhiruo sighed secretly. Li Dongxu was indeed a very qualified doctor. She accidentally touched her foot when she was pushed down by Mu Yunting yesterday. Unexpectedly, she was already well hidden. Li Dongxu actually saw it when she was walking.
"It's nothing. It's just that it was a little dark on the road last night and tripped."
"Miss Xie should be careful. It's better not to leave the house in the evening. Let's take a look at the injury on your foot for the girl.
"Don't bother Dr. Li. I just accidentally sprained. I took the medicine last night, and it won't be long before I get better. By the way, where is Dr. Li going now? Looking at the medicine box on Li Dongxu's shoulder, Xie Zhiruo asked curiously.
"Oh, I want to go outside the house to have a look."
"Is Dr. Li going to have a look outside the house?" Xie Zhiruo was a little surprised by Li Dongxu's move. Can she leave the house at will?
"Ye-huh, I want to go outside to see the current situation in the disaster area." Li Dongxu nodded.
"Then Dr. Li may wait for Zhi Ruo. Does Zhi Ruo want to go with Dr. Li?" In fact, when she first arrived here yesterday, she wanted to go outside the house to see what the situation is like in the disaster area now and how bad it is, so that she can be mentally prepared.
"Miss Xie wants to follow her out of the house? This..." Li Dongxu didn't expect that if Xie Zhi wanted to go out with him, she was a woman... But it was enough to think about it later. He could see that Xie Zhiruo was also very worried about the situation of the disaster victims in the disaster area.
"Doctor Li, don't worry, Zhiruo will definitely not cause trouble to Dr. Li. Dr. Li, wait for Zhiruo to come."
"Eh..." In fact, Li Dongxu wanted to say that she had not caused him any trouble, but when he saw that Xie Zhiruo had gone far away, he shook his head helplessly and stood still waiting for Xie Zhiruo to come back.
"We are the imperial doctors who went out to investigate the disaster on the order of His Royal Highness." After Li Dongxu showed the token in his arms to the guards of the gate, they walked out of the house.
When they came yesterday, they were sitting in the carriage, so they couldn't seriously look at what Zhenbei looked like at all.
I don't know if it's because Mu Yunting and Shen Yujuan live here. It's quite clean and clean outside Cao's house. Maybe it has been cleaned up by Lord Cao.
Walking along the street on the left outside Cao's house, I slowly found that there was almost no one on the street, and the street was still very messy, and there were smashed things everywhere.
"There is no one on this street. Where are the disaster victims gathered?" Xie Zhiruo is very curious. Are all so many disaster victims in their own homes?
"I asked yesterday, and the victims of the plague were concentrated in a wild forest in the suburbs."
"Drow the sick victims in the wild forest? Isn't this for them to wait to die?" This is so inhumane!
"I can't help it, because this plague spreads very fast, so I'm afraid that it will infect more people and have to do so." Speaking of this problem, Li Dongxu also feels very heavy. As a doctor, he failed to cure the sick patient. It's really useless!
"Did someone surround the wild forest? If the people inside go in, they will never get out again..." Hey... Even in modern times, people who have infectious diseases have to be quarantined, not to mention in ancient times, which was relatively backward in all aspects.
"Yes, I heard that anyone who wants to escape from there will be burned to death later..." Although it seems cruel to do so, there is nothing we can do.
