Chapter 66
If time can be turned back, Yan Yuan really wants to go back to before she just entered the door and take back what she said to Chen Niang.She didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but when she went out from now on, she decided to look through the almanac.

The owner of the blade's eyes were fierce, staring at Yan Yuan: "Say! Who are you! What is the purpose of coming to Plum Garden!"

Yan Yuan looked up at the man.

The man was about thirty, and he was wearing the clothes of the imperial guards. Judging from the pattern on his collar and the size of the saber, he should be a high-ranking imperial guard.

The man was also looking at Yan Yuan, he had just flashed the knife in a moment of urgency, until now he finally saw clearly that the trespasser was an unusually dressed woman.

Judging by her attire, she is either rich or noble, there are only two possibilities, either she is a queen in the palace, or she is a married woman who enters the palace.

Immediately, the expression on the man's face turned blue and gray, and he slowly withdrew the knife, hesitantly said: "Excuse me... Which palace is your majesty the empress of?"

Yan Yuan said: "Wangshu Palace."

The man froze on the spot.

There is only one empress in Wangshu Palace, who entered the palace a month ago... as the empress.

The man's face turned completely blue.

He knelt on the ground in a panic, stiffened his body and raised the knife above his head:

"Subordinate Peng Yue, pay homage to Empress Empress Qiansui!"

"The subordinate did not know that the empress was coming, so he offended, please punish the empress!"

His face was full of embarrassment, and the end of his voice trembled at the bottom of his throat, it could be seen that he was really terrified to the extreme.

Yan Yuan looked at him condescendingly and asked him, "What are you doing here?"

This is the harem, except for the daily patrols and guards, the imperial guards cannot act freely here, even if they are on duty, they need to report to the higher authorities.

The imperial guard named Peng Yue knelt on the ground and replied: "Reporting to Madam, this area is the scope of my patrol. I passed by here last night and heard... heard..."

Peng Yue seemed to be having unspeakable difficulties, and beads of sweat gradually oozed out from between his temples.

Yan Yuan looked at his troubled look, and asked tentatively, "Heard the cry of the baby?"

Peng Yue's breathing stopped suddenly, and he said with difficulty: "...Yes."

He took a deep breath, and told Yan Yuan with difficulty the reason why he came here:
He was originally a guard in the Jia branch of the Imperial Guard Battalion, and the area from the Imperial Garden to the Plum Garden was originally his patrol area.About a few months ago, in the middle of the night, when he passed the plum garden, he suddenly heard the cry of a baby.

He immediately searched inside, but found nothing.

Just after that night, rumors spread from the palace that someone had seen a female ghost in red floating out of the plum garden under the moon, and more than one person had heard the cry of a baby in the dead of night.

Over time, rumors arose in the palace that when Concubine Mei of the previous dynasty committed suicide, she had a fetus in her womb.She sank to the bottom of the lake for these years, and the fetus in her womb absorbed the ghost energy in the palace, and finally broke out.So in the past few months, the cries of babies and children have sounded from the plum garden every night.

It was originally a taboo to be in the palace with strange powers and chaos. He dared not report the matter, but he did often hear crying during the night patrol, and it was difficult to sleep at night, so he had no choice but to go into the plum garden alone under the scorching sun. Find out.

Yan Yuan asked him curiously: "Then what did you find?"

Peng Yue shook his head: "No."

Yan Yuan sighed in her heart, it seemed that she was doomed to get nothing today, she couldn't search for the old relics of Meiyuan and Kuiyuying in front of the guards.

She said: "It's a misunderstanding, Guard Peng please get up."

After speaking, Yan Yuan turned around and walked out of the gate of the plum garden.

Chen Niang at the door had been waiting for a while, and when she saw Yan Yuan going out and asking nervously, Yan Yuan shook her head at her, and continued walking towards the imperial hospital with her.

She hadn't gone far when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.

"Miss!"

Just now the guard named Peng Yue hurried forward and bowed in front of Yan Yuan: "Your Majesty, this place is desolate, and there is no guard beside Your Majesty. This subordinate is willing to send you to your destination!"

He clasped his fists together, straightened his back, and his tone was full of sincerity, which made people feel that his actions were not flattering, but really out of duty.

But a guard who is truly dedicated to his duty will not leave the duty area voluntarily.

He is not a good soldier.

Yan Yuan looked at Peng Yue calmly: "Yes."

From Plum Garden to Imperial Hospital, it takes about a cup of tea on foot.Peng Yue didn't talk much along the way, but his behavior was really thoughtful. Seeing that Yan Yuan didn't like the attention of passers-by, he took Yan Yuan around several small paths and sent her to the gate of the imperial hospital earlier than expected.

"My lady, please go slowly."

In front of the imperial hospital, Peng Yue bowed and saluted.

Yan Yuan saw that he was still not leaving, so she could only ask him: "Thank you, Guard Peng. I wonder if Guard Peng has any rewards he wants?"

The imperial guards of the first branch of the Imperial Guard Battalion can be regarded as dragons and phoenixes among the people, and they leave their posts without authorization and are so attentive, it is impossible to say that they have no plans.

Peng Yue was startled, and pursed his lips.

He knew that right now was not the right time to speak, it seemed that he was too impatient, but this was a god-given opportunity, if he missed it, he might never see the empress again.

"My subordinates have heard that the guards of the Qianzheng Hall have been damaged during the sacrifice to the imperial mausoleum. Presumably His Majesty will add more guards in the near future."

"My subordinate's name is Peng Yue. If there is a chance, Empress Wanwang... can speak well in front of the Holy Master!"

Peng Yue knelt on the ground, his back still straight, his eyes flashed with obvious ambition.

Yan Yuan thought for a while and said, "Yes."

So everyone is happy.

Peng Yue turned and left, and Yan Yuan walked into the imperial hospital.

Chen Niang looked back at Peng Yue frequently: "Niang Niang, do you really want to recommend this person to His Majesty?"

Chen Niang hesitated to speak: "This servant feels that this person... is eager for quick success."

Although he looks upright, he is really flattering in his actions.It was obvious that he had left his post without authorization, yet he dared to ask for a good word from the empress.If such a person goes to His Majesty's side, can he fulfill his duties faithfully?

Yan Yuan said indifferently: "It's just a nice word, what I say doesn't count."

With Chen Ling's serious temper, he might not even believe in his own dreams.

No wonder she believed her good words.

……

Yan Yuan was respectfully welcomed into the imperial hospital by the medical apprentices. After explaining her intentions, she was guided to the imperial pharmacy.

The doctor in charge of the imperial pharmacy swallowed after reading the overly long roll of prescription in Yan Yuan's hand: "...Go back to your mother, these medicines..."

Yan Yuan raised her eyes: "Why, is there no Royal Pharmacy?"

The imperial doctor hurriedly shook his head: "That's not true, it's just that these medicines are rare and many, and the official position is low, so I can't prescribe these medicines..."

This was something Yan Yuan did not expect.

In the morning, Chen Niang said that she wanted to add some medicine to the prescription, trying to cover up the real purpose of the medicinal materials, so she asked Chen Niang to add whatever was worth it, and as much as she could add.

Anyway, I have to go to the imperial hospital, and it is also great to take the opportunity to enrich Chen Niang's small medicine storehouse.

At that time, Chen Niang was hesitant, and finally her eyes turned red under her encouragement, and she handed her two scrolls with thick wrists.

Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating.

But it seems inappropriate to repent in front of the imperial doctor.

Yan Yuan coughed dryly and said, "Then who can prescribe these medicines?"

The imperial physician clasped his fists in salute and said, "Mu Liancheng is in charge of the imperial physician Mu, and his deputy is the imperial physician Luo Ziqiuluo."

Yan Yuan: "..."

The imperial doctor said: "I don't know which one the empress prefers?"

Yan Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Is there a third person to choose from?"

One of these two people is the queen mother's eyeliner, and the other is the dog emperor's confidant, no matter which one she doesn't want to provoke!

The imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Difficult to get off the tiger, Yan Yuan stood in the same place and hesitated. She weighed repeatedly in her heart for a while, and finally said cruelly: "Take me to see Luo Yu doctor."

Rongyuan took a bath, and the one who was supposed to hide was the Queen Mother, and if Imperial Physician Mu knew about it, the Queen Mother would also know about it.If it was Luo Ziqiu, he would definitely not have informed the Queen Mother of her medication, even if he had actually deduced something, it was not inexplicable.

After making up her mind, Yan Yuan followed the imperial doctor's footsteps into the depths of the imperial hospital.

The courtyard of the Royal Hospital is not small, and it takes a long time to go around. The pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard are elegant and unique. It doesn't look like a hospital, but a manor.

After a long time, the imperial doctor finally stopped in front of an independent courtyard, bowed and saluted: "This place is not accessible to mediocre ministers, please come in, empress."

Luo Ziqiu, a mere medical officer, is there such a big show?

Yan Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but before she could speak, she saw a cyan figure flashing across the courtyard.

That was Luo Ziqiu.He was wearing the official uniform of a medical officer, and when he saw Yan Yuan's eyelashes curled, he first smiled, and then bowed to salute: "My minister Luo Ziqiu, I have seen my empress Jin An. Your empress is here, full of brilliance."

His smile is gentle and elegant, which makes people feel like spring breeze.

Yan Yuan looked at him coldly. If she hadn't seen him doing evil with the dog emperor, she would really believe that Luo Ziqiu was just a gentle and modest medical officer.

She didn't want to be polite to him, so she said dryly, "I came to ask for medicine."

Luo Ziqiu took the scroll, and said gently: "Whatever your empress asks, I should cooperate with you."

He stared at Yan Yuan, and changed the topic: "It's just that the medicine is three-point poisonous. I don't know if the empress can come in with the official, so that the official can check the pulse of the empress?"

This is a reasonable condition.Yan Yuan couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she could only follow Luo Ziqiu's figure into the small courtyard.

She has never been afraid of feeling her pulse.

Anyway, the disease is a real disease, and the deficiency is also a real deficiency.

Yan Yuan sat down frankly, and stretched her wrist in front of Luo Ziqiu.

Luo Ziqiu lowered his gaze, and his slender fingertips rested on Yan Yuan's veins.

He was so focused that he didn't even blink his eyelashes.After a long time, he raised his eyes: "Your Majesty, have you insisted on taking the medicine in the past few days?"

Yan Yuan raised her head: "Yes."

She does insist on taking medicine with three meals a day.

Although Luo Ziqiu was obviously the dog emperor's minion, people may not be good people, but medicine is good medicine.

After taking the new prescription he prescribed, she really felt better than before. In the past few days in Yuting Mountain, she went into the water and was blown by the wind, but her body did not collapse.

Luo Ziqiu nodded and said: "Among the medicines prescribed by Weichen, some of them are extremely bad. If you have dreams, you can ask that nurse named Chen Niang to prescribe some soothing prescriptions."

Yan Yuan nodded: "Okay."

After taking his pulse, Luo Ziqiu opened the scroll that had been put aside.

Yan Yuan's heart suddenly rose to her throat.

Luo Ziqiu's eyes fell on the scroll, glanced at it, and after a little surprise, he raised his head and asked: "My lady needs something, and the imperial hospital will cooperate. Just take these medicines, lady. It's just that the quantity is missing these days... ..."

Yan Yuan bit the bullet and said, "I'm suffering from a cold and sickness, and I need a lot."

Tian Leu Grass is the medicine for her cold illness, so it is natural to get as much as I can, and it is good to store it there for emergencies.What if the dog emperor repented?
Luo Ziqiu asked again: "These South Sea pearls..."

Yan Yuan's face remained unchanged: "Beauty and beauty."

Luo Ziqiu asked again: "Then these ginseng antlers..."

Yan Yuan said: "Replenishing qi and blood."

Luo Ziqiu was silent for a while and said, "Don't replenish Qi and blood indiscriminately."

Yan Yuan deflected deftly: "Thank you Doctor Luo for reminding me, I will let Chen Niang carefully consider the prescription."

Sincerity was written all over her face, she stared at Luo Ziqiu with burning eyes, eyes full of hope.

Luo Ziqiu looked at her.

The fan in his hand suddenly stopped moving.

He felt the sharpness on his back, smiled helplessly, bowed and said: "Those medicinal herbs are quite rare, each one is listed in the book, and it may take some time to complete them. Madam, can you allow me to go to the medicine store for inspection? , send it to Wangshu Palace at dusk?"

"It's okay."

Yan Yuan smiled understandingly.

"Then I will go back to the palace and wait."

Yan Yuan stood up, glanced at the room without showing any traces, and sure enough, she saw a raised second floor inside the room.

The windows on the second floor were open and closed, and she couldn't see anything from her perspective, but the gaze that fell on her just now was really there.

Someone is watching her.

who can that be?

Chen Lingshen?
But these are all insignificant things, the main purpose of coming today has been achieved, Yan Yuan didn't stay in the house, and left there directly.

As soon as she left, the whole room fell silent again.

Only a faint medicinal fragrance remained in the air.

Luo Ziqiu waited on the spot for a while, making sure that Yan Yuan would not turn back, then took the two scrolls and slowly walked up the stairs and entered the upstairs room.

Upstairs is a study.

Luo Ziqiu slowly spread out the scroll in front of the desk, and sighed: "Your Majesty is really willing to give up half of the precious medicinal materials in the imperial pharmacy."

The empress's prescription is really earth-shattering.He purposely delayed for a moment just now, wondering if the emperor would speak out to stop it, but unexpectedly, he was really willing to give it.

Half an imperial pharmacy.

Luo Ziqiu's heart was bleeding.

Chen Lingchen didn't even look at the prescription, but just opened the scroll casually.

Yan Yuan has been in the palace for more than a month, and she has never asked for medicine before, but suddenly she listed two long volumes of prescriptions. Naturally, it is impossible to really need these medicines. Presumably the medicines she really needs should be hidden in the of these medicines.

Now that the cooperation has been reached, it is just some medicine.

As long as she wants it, as long as the imperial pharmacy has it.

It's just that he needs to know why.

Chen Ling raised his head and said calmly, "Do you see what these medicines are for?"

Luo Ziqiu hooked the corner of his mouth: "It's for removing scars."
