There was a heart-piercing cough in the inner room, and Xi Xian stood outside the curtain for a moment, and then adjusted her expression and walked into the room under the guidance of the maid.

When the door curtain was lifted, the strong smell of soup and medicine rushed to the face, and a thin figure also came into view.

Li Zhaoyuan sat on the mat, and there were plates of delicate and delicious dishes on the table in front of her. At first glance, she could tell that the dishes were carefully prepared by the imperial chefs, but there were few signs of the food on the plate being turned, so Li Zhaoyuan waved her hand to let the People removed the dishes.

The little maid at the side looked at Mu Jieyu who was serving Li Zhaoyuan's meal in embarrassment, and she didn't remove the table for a long time. Mu Jieyu personally served a bowl of soup and put it in front of Li Zhaoyuan, "If you really can't eat, you can drink some soup." , this soup is made by the cooks from the dew on the bamboo leaves in the morning, it is fragrant and elegant and not greasy at all!"

Li Zhaoyuan reluctantly took a spoonful and put it to her mouth, but suddenly coughed, and vomited out what she had just eaten. Mu Jieyu hurriedly ordered the maid to bring water for rinsing mouth, and patted her back with her hand. A tear fell, Mu Jieyu hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief and wiped it away.

Seeing the chaos in the room, Xi Xian didn't care to greet her, so she hurriedly opened the box in her hand, took out a small yellow pill, and stuffed it into Li Zhaoyuan's mouth. The effect of the small pill came into play very quickly, and Li Zhaoyuan's cough stopped after a while up.

"What kind of medicine is this? It works so quickly?" Mu Jieyu looked at the ordinary-looking pills in the box, her eyes were full of joy.

"This is the medicine specially prepared by the emperor for the empress. During the time when the emperor was on tour, he was very worried about the illness of the empress, so he found some folk remedies from the people. I heard that it is very effective! However, although this medicine has quick effects, it also hurts the body. The emperor asked the concubines to tell the empress to eat it only when coughing and breathing seriously damage the heart."

Xixian handed several boxes to the maid in charge for safekeeping, and instructed some ways to take it. In fact, this medicine was prepared by the master of Ziyun Mountain, but Yuwen Haoxuan wanted to conceal the specific location of the tour, so she could only tell the origin of the medicine. vaguely.

"Hey! The medicine is [-]% poisonous. Madam, let's eat more food while the cough is gone." Mu Jieyu picked out some delicious dishcloths and brought them to Li Zhaoyuan. I can't lift my spirits.

Seeing this, Xi Xian put a carrot-carved dish in front of her and said, "Your Majesty, look how much this looks like a maple leaf on the Red Maple Terrace!"

Red Maple Terrace is a place full of maple trees next to Yangcheng. Anyone who has been to Yangcheng knows that Xixian guessed that Li Zhaoyuan's illness this time was mostly due to a knot in her heart, so she tentatively mentioned something that would make her happy.

After hearing this, Li Zhaoyuan's face showed a long-lost brilliance. She held Xixian's hand as if she had a lot to say, but because there were other people around, she simply asked, "Are they all okay?"

Xi Xian understands that the "they" in Li Zhaoyuan's mouth refers to Old General Li and the soldiers in the army, "They are all very good, they even asked about you, my lady!"

Although Mu Jieyu didn't know what kind of riddle they were playing, she was also happy when she saw Li Zhaoyuan's expression improved, and asked the palace servants to bring more food.

I don't know if it's because of the pills, or because Li Zhaoyuan is in a good mood. In the past, she could barely eat a few mouthfuls of food, but today she ate more than half a bowl. Everyone in the palace was overjoyed because of Li Zhaoyuan's improvement.

"Sister Xi has a way to let the mother eat so much food as soon as she comes back!" Mu Jieyu looked at Li Zhaoyuan's smile that hadn't shown for many days, and felt relieved from the bottom of her heart.

Xi Xian smiled and said, "If I want to say the credit, it has to be Sister Mu. When the mother is sick, she is taken care of by her. If it is not for her to take good care of her, no matter how much she can do, it will be useless."

"You two, stop boasting. In the end, it's because I'm tired of you?" Li Zhaoyuan happily joked when she saw how lively they were talking.

"Ma'am, that's not what concubines mean!" Xi Xian made everyone in the room laugh by pretending to be wronged.

"Sister Xi!" As the room was buzzing, there was a crisp shout from outside, and Wu Meiren rushed in without waiting for the transmission, and staggered Xi Xian, "You have been going for so many days!" What happened? I didn’t even come to see me, and no one gave me cakes to eat!”

Wu Meiren was like a child eating without sugar, she was aggrieved and shed tears while talking.

Mu Jieyu was afraid that she would cause Li Zhaoyuan to pull her aside, "Why did you run in without waiting for the transmission, my mother is sick now, but I can't stand your noise."

"It's okay, let her stay here, I haven't seen Beauty Wu for a long time because of my illness." Li Zhaoyuan beckoned for Beauty Wu to sit beside her, then turned to look at Beauty Wu's maid, Yueling, "how is beauty's illness?" Has it improved recently? "

It was only then that Xixian noticed that Yueling, who came in with Wu Meiren, had grown taller than the last time she saw her, her face had also turned red, and her expression was no longer as timid as before. Self-confidence and decisiveness, it seems that Fantao has taught her a lot in the past few months.

After saluting, Yueling replied respectfully, "The beauty has become more and more energetic in the past few months, and she also remembered many things from the past. A few days ago, I heard that the empress was ill, and she was clamoring to send some supplements to the empress. ! But the diet of the empress is too hospital-specific and cannot be eaten casually, so the slaves did not let the beauty bring it."

Li Zhaoyuan nodded and said to Xixian, "At first you said that you would promote Yueling to be the maid in charge. I was worried that she was too young, but I didn't expect her to be better than those experienced nuns. You see. Your eyesight is really good!"

Xi Xian looked at Yueling with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I'm overwhelmed. In fact, the concubine only saw Yueling working diligently and diligently. I didn't expect her to do so well. It's all because of Yueling's hard work and studious."

"If you don't do well, you will be punished. If you do well, you will naturally be rewarded. What kind of reward do you want, Yueling?" Li Zhaoyuan offered the reward in person, and all the maids and eunuchs in the room looked at Yueling enviously.

But Yueling was not in a hurry to ask for rewards, she knelt down and kowtowed to Li Zhaoyuan and said, "Your servants are doing their own duties and dare not ask for any rewards. In fact, your servants are stupid people, and they can't do anything they know today. It was taught by Sister Fantao who is beside Xi Jieyu, if it is said that rewards should be given to Sister Fantao."

"Okay, I didn't expect you to be a person who values ​​love and righteousness, so I will reward you all!"

"I want to reward, I want to reward!" Wu Meiren tugged on Li Zhaoyuan's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

Li Zhaoyuan took her hand lovingly and said, "Okay, what reward do you want?"

"Huh???" Wu Meiren thought for a while and said, "I want my mother to get better soon. Only when my mother recovers will she be able to protect me. I dreamed that Wang Zhaoyi beat me again last night."

Hearing the words Wang Zhaoyi from Wu Mei's mouth, Xi Xian looked at Mu Jieyu in surprise, and Mu Jieyu walked to her side and said in a low voice, "Wu Meiren's illness has been cured, and she hasn't committed any crimes in the past six months. , I didn’t react so much when I heard the word Wang Zhaoyi, and sometimes I would say it myself, but I don’t know if I will get sick again if I really want to see Wang Zhaoyi.”

Xi Xian looked at the stupid Wu Meiren and couldn't help hating Wang Zhaoyi again, but thinking of the situation where General Wang bowed to her, she couldn't hate her anymore.
