Chapter 72

"This is a secret between Wei Niang and Empress Empress, it's not enough for outsiders to understand."

Mu Ning said this not only to the three children, but also to the palace people, so as to express his attitude to the queen.

"Remember, in this place in the palace, say less and make less mistakes, and don't say it's good."

"Got it, mother."

Soon they arrived at the Ningshou Palace where the Empress Dowager lived. After the mother and son finished kneeling and prostrating, the Empress Dowager did not wake them up, and stared at the three children severely with a pair of old but wise eyes.

Mu Yanli watched his heart with three eyes, and his waist was straight.

After half a cup of tea, the queen mother finally opened her mouth.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Empress."

"How old?"

Mu Yanli replied aloud, "Hui Huang's great-grandmother, our three brothers and sisters are six years old this year."

The title "Imperial Great-Great-Grandmother" obviously displeased the Empress Dowager, and the nanny beside her said aloud, "Young Master, although you are the heirs of Prince Qin County, you have never been on the jade butterfly, so you can't be regarded as serious." The blood of the royal family has been usurped by the great-great-grandmother."

Mu Yanli blinked, and said again: "Go back to the Queen Mother, our three brothers and sisters are six years old this year."

The queen mother hummed softly, and her eyes fell on Mu Ning with a bit of scrutiny.

"I heard that you have a cure for Aijia's headache?"

Mu Ning smiled lightly, "The folk girl has learned a folk remedy, which happens to have a miraculous effect on headaches, and I would like to try it for the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager stared at her for a moment, then flew into a rage.

"Presumptuous, the body of the daughter of the family, how can you let a yellow-haired girl fool you!"

The three children quickly looked at Mu Ning worriedly.

Mu Ning calmly asked, "Besides the occasional dizziness, headache, and distending pain in the temples, can you always hear the cicadas or the wind on weekdays?"

The queen mother's pupils shrank, and soon returned to normal.

"You are quite courageous. How dare you inquire about Aijia's case in private. You know this is a crime of disrespect. Even if Aijia puts you to death, it is not an exaggeration!"

"The empress dowager calm down, the reason why the daughters of the people know this is because it is a common symptom of headache."

After listening to her explanation, the anger on the Empress Dowager's face gradually disappeared, and turned into dubious.

"Can you really cure Aijia's headache?"

"If the Empress Dowager's symptoms are as what Minnv said, then Minnv is [-]% sure."

The Empress Dowager's hand on the armchair tightened, and then let go.

"Okay, Mu Ning, if you can really cure Aijia's headache, Aijia will reward you heavily."

-

"How do you feel, Queen Mother?"

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes, sat up slowly with the support of the nanny, frowned and listened for a while, and then relaxed her brows.

"Well, not bad, the cicadas seem to be a little quieter."

Mu Ning said with a smile: "The girl will continue to treat the queen mother according to today's method. The whole course of treatment is roughly divided into three stages. The first stage is ten days. Acupuncture and moxibustion must be performed every day, as well as head and shoulders. Neck point massage.

The second stage is [-] days, treatment every other day, the third stage is treatment every three days, until the tinnitus and headache completely disappear.

In addition, Minnv will also prescribe some prescriptions for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, nourishing qi and tonifying kidney for the queen mother to cooperate with the treatment. "

The queen mother, who had tasted the sweetness, became more friendly to Mu Ning, "The Ai family sent two maids to help you, and you can tell them to do anything normally."

"Thank you Queen Mother."

Mu Ning knew in his heart that the queen mother said she was sending someone to assist her, but she was actually looking for someone to watch her every move in the palace.

She has been homeless for several years, and suddenly returned to Beijing. With her medical skills and unknown origins, it is strange that the Queen Mother did not guard against her.

Just after midnight, the entire Shanglin Garden was quiet, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.

"His-"

In the dark night, something terrible crawled into the room along the window, and slowly approached Mu Yanxi who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Just as the hidden guard in the dark was about to make a move, Mu Yanxi sat up on the bed.

With the faint starlight, one could see a gray snake as thick as a baby's arm swimming towards her. The raised flat snake head kept sticking out its tongue, causing the scalp to tighten and the gallbladder to split.

Let alone a young girl's house, even a grown woman would faint from fright when faced with such a scene.

But Mu Yanxi was not afraid at all, she even jumped out of bed and walked towards Gray Snake.

I don't know where she took out a yellow paper talisman, raised her hand and patted it on the snake's head, the gray snake immediately stopped moving as if it had been hit by acupuncture points, and stared at Mu Yanxi with its cold and bewitching snake pupils .

Mu Yanxi muttered something softly, then got up and walked towards the house.

Gray Snake followed closely behind her, swimming out of the house mechanically and slowly.

When he came to a courtyard wall, Mu Yanxi stopped, and whispered to Gray Snake, "Go over there."

"His-"

Strange to say, Gray Snake really crawled along the wall to the next door as if he could understand her words.

And next door is the Ningshou Palace where the Empress Dowager lives.

Seeing Gray Snake's stout body disappearing against the wall, Mu Yanxi smiled with satisfaction, then yawned and went back to the room to continue sleeping.

At three o'clock, there was a sudden commotion next door, which woke up the entire Shanglin Garden.

Mu Yanxi walked out of the house with bare feet, rubbing her eyes, and came to Mu Ning in the yard, looking sleepily at the brightly lit next door.

"Mother, what happened?"

Seeing that he was not wearing shoes, Mu Ning bent down and picked him up, "I don't know, my mother just woke up, so I went back to the house and put on my shoes and clothes."

"Oh."

Mu Yanxi hugged her neck, tilted her small head on her shoulder, closed her eyes and said softly, "Mom, I'm so sleepy."

Mu Ning patted him on the back lightly, and coaxed him softly, "Sleep if you're sleepy."

"Ah."

After the second child had settled down, he came out and found that the eldest brother Mu Yanli and daughter Mu Yanxi were also awake, standing side by side in the courtyard and looking towards Ningshou Palace next door.

"Dafu, Duoduo."

"Mother."

Seeing Mu Ning coming out of Mu Yanxi's room, Mu Yanli hurriedly asked, "Is Xiaoman alright?"

"It's okay, he was just woken up, and he will fall asleep again."

Noticing that there was a weird smile on her daughter's face, Mu Ning didn't ask any more questions at the moment, and only sent the palace servants out to inquire.

The maid came back soon, and Huarong told Mu Ning and the others palely, "It was the queen mother who entered the palace. Fortunately, the snake has been caught."

There is a wall between Shanglin Garden and Ningshou Palace. If snakes entered Ningshou Palace, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no Shanglin Garden.

Mu Ning immediately called everyone together, took out realgar and distributed it one by one, and asked people to sprinkle it all over the yard to prevent snakes.

These, Mu Ning only did for the eyeliner in Shanglin Yuanli to watch.

The forbidden area of ​​the palace is heavily guarded, not to mention poisonous substances such as snakes and insects, even ants and mosquitoes will be cleaned up.

The only possibility is that the snake was put in on purpose.
