Qingchuan History

Chapter 33

In the afternoon of the next day, when Ruan Xueyin stepped into the bedroom of Wanlan Hall, Gu Xinglang was sitting at the chess table under the window reading a book.

"Your Majesty is safe."

Gu Xinglang raised his head upon hearing the sound.His complexion was a little pale, slightly thinner than before, but his eyes were still as bright as stars.

"coming."

declarative sentence.

He never seemed to be bothered by anyone or anything, always so calm.Even if he got sick for no reason, was rescued by Ruan Xueyin for no reason, and when he woke up and saw her, he still had no extra emotions.

Doubt, vigilance, doubt, uneasiness, curiosity.nothing.

That state is: I was sick and you healed me.OK

That's fine.

Ruan Xueyin withdrew her thoughts and replied calmly:

"Yes."

Gu Xinglang sized her up for a moment:

"You didn't bring anything?"

"I have brought everything that should be brought. It is conspicuous, and I did not bring a box."

Gu Xinglang nodded: "Start now?"

"it is good."

When he got to the bed, Gu Xinglang took off his unisex and asked naturally, "Still lying on the stomach?"

Ruan Xueyin looked at his fully exposed back, and the rashes faded a bit.

Then she realized something was wrong.

First, he is awake.

Second, there are only him and her in the hall, not even the inkstone.

She suddenly panicked and didn't speak for a long time.Gu Xinglang waited for a long time without any response, feeling strange, turned around and saw her standing in front of her, her cheeks seemed a little red.

"what happened?"

A single word awakened the dumb goose, Ruan Xueyin returned to look at him.

Seeing this was no small matter, she turned her back almost instantly.

"Yes. Your Majesty, please lie down and turn your back on me."

She spoke quickly, her tone sounded calm, but her cheeks were already burning.

Only then did Gu Xinglang realize what had happened.That's right, he has already taken off his shirt, it was okay when his back was turned just now, but once he turned around——

She is still just a girl, so she is naturally embarrassed.

He was a little amused, thinking that this is really an unprecedented relationship between emperor and concubine.Thinking that she has always been calm, it is interesting to be flustered now.

"Okay. Let's get started."

Ruan Xueyin heard the sound, turned back cautiously, and saw that he had obediently lay down, with his head turned outward.

She calmed down, walked over with steady steps, took out a red bottle and a blue bottle from her sleeve, and put them on the small table beside the bed.

"I was awake today, afraid that you would be uncomfortable, so I didn't let Di Yan in."

"Ah."

Her heart was still beating a little fast, she answered casually, and then realized that he said "I", not "Zhen".

"There may be a tingling sensation, please bear with it, Your Majesty."

"It's okay."

Although it was midsummer, his back was a bit cold, presumably because the fever had subsided but he was still weak.

Her hands were very soft, and there was a touch of white sugar cake on her back.It was strange, he had never held a white sugar cake with his hands, he always picked it up with chopsticks and ate it, but this kind of metaphor appeared in his mind at this time.

The hands gradually moved downward, exerting force every time they reached a specific position.He knew that those were acupuncture points, but it was a woman. Although he could feel that she was exerting great force, the force was still too light for him.So much so that he had the illusion of falling into a pile of white sugar cakes more and more.

The approach began to change.Sometimes it's the palm, sometimes it's fingers, sometimes it's ten fingers, sometimes it's just six fingers.

Gu Xinglang gradually felt hot and dry, and he didn't know if it was because the temperature was too high, or because the plasters were absorbed by the skin and began to flow in the body.

"Just put medicine on your back?" It was really hot, and he felt that the blood was rushing to the brain, so he decided to speak to relieve it.

"Yes. There are many meridians on the back. As long as the technique is accurate, the medicine can reach the whole body. And if my guess is right, you should have the most rashes on your back."

"You really know the disease very well."

Ruan Xueyin was silent.

Gu Xinglang woke up yesterday and had already heard Diyan recount the whole story, knowing that she would not speak, it was not surprising.

After a stick of incense time passed, Ruan Xueyin withdrew her hand.

"All right."

She walked to a basin of clear water that had been prepared to wash her hands, and when she turned around again, Gu Xinglang had already put on his unlined clothes.

"Do you still want to drink medicine?"

Ruan Xueyin nodded, thinking that Diyan had reported everything clearly, and she was indeed the most capable confidant.

"I heard that yesterday I drank the medicine first and then took the medicine."

"Yesterday's situation was critical, and it must be taken internally to stabilize the condition. Since your majesty is awake, the sequence of medication is not so particular."

Gu Xinglang glanced at the maple round table two feet away, "The water in the pot was just boiled before, so it should be at the right temperature now."

Ruan Xueyin walked over as she said, and saw that the small white porcelain bowl and spoon she used yesterday were also there.Pour water, bring it over, and pick up the red porcelain bottle from the small table next to the bed and pour the brown powder into it.

Still a very precise three-stroke.

"It turns out that Master Ji Ji is also good at medicine." He watched her movements calmly, and said casually.

Ruan Xueyin looked up at him, "Your Majesty believes that my medical skills were taught by my teacher?"

"You entered Pengxi Mountain at the age of four, will someone teach you?"

Ruan Xueyin was silent.

"Or, besides your father, there are old people from the East Palace Medicine Garden?"

Ruan Xueyin raised her eyes suddenly, and almost blurted out: "I haven't heard anyone say the word Donggong Medicine Garden for a long time."

"I heard that you are familiar with the 300-year history of Qingchuan. So am I. People who study history, how can they not be interested in the Donggong Medicine Garden case?"

"The place isn't there anymore after all. And neither is anyone connected with it."

"It says so in the book."

Ruan Xueyin raised her eyebrows slightly: "Your Majesty has another opinion?"

"Words can be deceiving. It is hard to believe what is written on paper."

"There are too few records about this matter. But I have searched, and someone claimed to have seen the bodies of those people being taken to Qishan with their own eyes. There are four people in total, all of whom were buried in the nearby mass graves."

She found it hard not to say something to him.Because unlike other people, every sentence he said was so logical that she could not help but follow up.

Just like meeting an opponent in chess, the opponent can't help but accept the move because of his subtle moves.

"Whether there were four people in total who took care of the East Palace Medicine Garden back then, no one actually knows."

"I left Yin Palace when I was four years old, and I go back twice a year at most. You people in Yin Palace should know better than me."

Gu Xinglang looked at her with interest, "Oh? Have you seen them?"

"They? It sounds like a lot of people."

Gu Xinglang smiled, but did not answer.

"Since His Majesty Dingzong had many eyes and ears in Yin Palace, there must be more clues than me about this matter."

Gu Xinglang sighed, "That's the case, the Donggong Medicine Garden case has escaped everyone's eyes and ears. It is the most curious unsolved case in 300 years."

"More curious than the Fengtingguan case?"

Gu Xinglang raised his eyebrows and looked at her quietly.

Ruan Xueyin also looked at him.

"I should thank you for this."

"Your Majesty should thank me for more than this."

She said, shaking the medicine bowl in her hand.

"I should thank you for this too. Can I have a drink?"

Ruan Xueyin thought to wait until you recovered before talking about it, so she scooped up a spoon with a small spoon and prepared to bring it to his mouth, but when her hands were in the air, she saw his expression was a bit stunned.

Only then did she realize that she seemed a little too familiar with feeding him medicine like this.But it was like this yesterday, but he fell asleep at that time.

She felt a little hot again, and put the spoon back into the bowl, "Please, Your Majesty—"

She was about to pass the bowl over to signal him to drink, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that he opened his mouth slightly, his expression had regained his composure, and he was looking at her as a matter of course.

Ruan Xueyin was stunned for a moment, and some unrealistic thoughts bumped into each other a few times in her mind——

It seems nothing.

So he picked up a small spoon again and scooped a spoonful to his mouth, and the other party opened his mouth to drink.

No one spoke anymore, the hall was quiet, and the people were also quiet, only the movements of raising hands to feed medicine and opening mouth to drink medicine stirred the air.

Di Yan estimated that the time would be about the same, and stepped into the inner hall.When I walked to the third stage and saw this picture from a distance, I subconsciously retreated, and I felt baffled:
It's just Mrs. Pei, not the other three.What can I refund?
