Chapter 68

Compared with the gentle wind and drizzle on Linzhao's side, the emperor felt the power of the heavy rain in advance.

Overnight, the rain changed from its previous mild state, and the wind blew up. In an instant, it rained like a torrential rain, and it didn't stop for a while, it almost lasted all night.

Ning Yuezhao, who was recuperating, suddenly sat up in shock, and ordered: "Immediately pass the decree to move the people in the mountainous areas outside the imperial capital to an open place, so as to prevent the mountain torrents from flooding and endangering lives!"

Regarding Qin Tianjian's prediction, she was actually skeptical, but Jiang Nian's firm attitude made her believe it nine out of ten.

Although the dam failure of the river embankment caused serious casualties, flash floods had to be prevented.

Bitao came in with the decoction, and happened to pass by the eunuch who was going to deliver the decree.

Ning Yuezhao was contemplating with her eyebrows fixed, when she saw Bitao handing over the medicine bowl, she took it.

Bitao smiled and said: "Dr. An has given you acupuncture every other day for the past few days, and you have never had a headache again, and your majesty's complexion has improved a lot!"

Ning Yuezhao nodded, without the torment of illness, her whole spirit was different.

As soon as she finished drinking the medicine, someone came to report, "Medical Envoy Fu and Doctor An have arrived."

Bitao took the empty medicine bowl and sighed: "This doctor Fu is really hardworking and studious. He comes with Yu doctor An every day, and the two of them are inseparable."

Ning Yuezhao thought about Fu Liao's stubborn temperament, and couldn't help laughing: "There is nothing else about him, only perseverance."

While talking, An Chen and Fu Liao, who had been in and out together for the past few days, had already arrived in the hall.

An Chen habitually took out golden needles, wanting to give Ning Yuezhao the needles.

But Fu Liao suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have learned a lot about acupuncture and moxibustion from Doctor An in the past few days. I wonder if Your Majesty can let me have a try today?"

"Presumptuous!" Bi Tao shouted, "Medicur Fu has only studied for a few days, and His Majesty's dragon body is no joke, let's talk about it later!"

Ning Yuezhao said it was okay, "Auntie, don't make such a fuss, I can trust Doctor Fu."

Fu Liao bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Hearing what Ning Yuezhao said, An Chen could only put away her golden needle in embarrassment.

Fu Liao walked up to Ning Yuezhao solemnly, and said to Bitao, "Auntie, please close the screen and lower the curtain."

Bitao was a little dissatisfied, "These days, Doctor An only applied needles on the head and neck. What is Doctor Fu doing?" It's all unavoidable.But in the hearts of old people like Bitao, they still feel that it is better for a woman's body to be less favored by men.

But Fu Liao said: "Auntie, how can the defense of men and women be limited to medical practitioners? If you are like this, I will not be able to give acupuncture to Your Majesty."

Bitao was at a loss for words for a moment, but Ning Yuezhao waved her hands, "Just follow him."

Helpless, Bitao had no choice but to set up the screen.Then he stepped forward to help Ning Yuezhao undress, Fu Liao only asked to expose the skin below the shoulders.

At this moment, Ning Yuezhao's middle coat was half off, and the red string on the apron on her slender neck was tied with a bow, which complemented the delicate skin on her back, possessing a different kind of soul-stirring beauty.

Fu Liao held the gold needles and applied them sequentially from the top of the head to the shoulders and necks.

An Chen stared at his movements almost intently.

When Fu Liao's golden needle aimed at the last acupuncture point, An Chen couldn't see clearly where he pierced under the cover of the sleeve robe.

Ning Yuezhao turned his back to him, and couldn't see her expression.

"Okay." Fu Liao lightly retracted the needle.

Bitao helped Ning Yuezhao get dressed, she turned around, her face was as usual, "Fu Liao is really talented, and the level of acupuncture will soon catch up with An Chen."

An Chen smiled, "I have been worrying about the complexity of this set of acupuncture techniques, and no one has the patience to learn it. Now that Doctor Fu has the heart, he should teach him all he can."

Fu Liao didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking, and looked a little absent-minded.

Ning Yuezhao nodded, and praised: "It's rare that you have no selfishness. It's very good, you both have rewards! Auntie, inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs to bring the new tribute of mutton fat and white jade Ruyi and Qibao Zijin incense burner to reward them."

Bitao was skeptical about Fu Liao's skills at first, but seeing that Ning Yuezhao was fine, she let go of her worries and went to supervise the job in person.

That night, both the rain and the wind were much stronger than during the day,
Ning Yuezhao was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, feeling as if something was scratching her heart, she just couldn't settle down.

Suddenly, there was a thunder on the ground.

Ning Yuezhao opened her eyes wide, and felt as if someone was poking her forehead with a small awl. She hadn't felt this kind of needle-like pain for a long time.

As thunder fell one after another, Ning Yuezhao became more restless and her headache became more severe.

"Auntie!" Unable to bear it any longer, Ning Yuezhao called out to Bitao who was resting outside.

Bitao hurriedly put on a coat, took off her embroidered shoes and ran to the inner room.

I saw Ning Yuezhao gritted her teeth tightly, her face was pale, her hair was sticking to her sweaty forehead, and she pressed her temples with both hands, "It hurts..."

Bitao hurriedly shouted to the outside: "Come here, Your Majesty has a headache, send it to the imperial doctor!"

The palace guards who were watching the night outside heard Bitao's voice, immediately fell asleep and rushed all the way to the side hall to invite someone.

An Chen was originally writing letters silently, but Fu Liao was sleeping uncharacteristically on the couch tonight.

"Medical Envoy Fu, Imperial Physician An, Your Majesty has a headache, go to the inner hall quickly!" The palace people broke into the side hall and shouted.

An Chen immediately put down his pen, picked up the medicine box and went outside.

Fu Liao seemed to be in a light sleep. Although his movements were a bit slow, the call of the palace servants woke him up. He didn't even take the medicine box, so he walked to the inner hall sleepily.

When he walked unhurriedly to the inner hall, An Chen was already administering needles to Ning Yuezhao.

Bitao was watching anxiously by the bed, and when she saw Fu Liao walking leisurely, she couldn't help but get angry.

If Fu Liao hadn't insisted on giving Ning Yuezhao an injection in the morning, how could she have had a headache?Now that Fu Liao still had such a casual attitude, Bitao became even more annoyed, thinking that after His Majesty's illness stabilized, he must ask His Majesty to punish him!

Ning Yuezhao's headache this time was stronger than ever, and she writhed on the bed, and it was quite laborious for An Chen to give the needle.

Bitao summoned four court ladies to help hold down Ning Yuezhao's limbs, which allowed the treatment to proceed smoothly.

Holding the golden needle in his hand, An Chen looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

The wind and rain outside the window made the atmosphere in the room even more dignified.

It wasn't until dawn that Ning Yuezhao stopped struggling, her breathing became steady, and she actually fell asleep.

Bitao breathed a sigh of relief, and asked An Chen and Fu Liao to go to the front hall first, while she and the maid changed Ning Yuezhao's clothes and tidied up.

"You stay here to guard Your Majesty, I'll go to the front hall." After finishing everything, Bitao ordered the two maids, and went to the front hall by herself.

An Chen and Fu Liao stood together in the front hall. An Chen, who had been working all night, looked tired, while Fu Liao remained indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

Bitao rushed to the front hall in a hurry, and she first blessed An Chen, "It was all thanks to the imperial doctor An, or His Majesty will suffer again."

An Chen cupped her hands and said, "You don't have to be polite, aunt, this is just my duty."

After thanking An Chen, Bitao walked up to Fu Liao and said in a deep voice, "Doctor Fu, do you have anything to say about His Majesty's illness last night?"

Fu Liao shook his head, his face was normal, "No."

Bitao sneered, "Now that Your Majesty is still awake, Bitao has no right to deal with anyone, but Bitao dared to ask Doctor Fu, why Your Majesty suddenly fell ill last night after he hadn't been ill for half a month."

Fu Liao said earnestly: "Your Majesty's illness is a persistent illness, and it's not surprising that it can show up and down again and again."

He was telling the truth, but Bitao's words were very unpleasant to her ears, and she said displeasedly: "According to what you said, it's no one's fault that His Majesty's disease didn't happen, and it's not your fault if it happened. yes?"

Fu Liao shook his head, "I performed the acupuncture yesterday morning. I definitely did it according to Doctor An's method. Doctor An was watching from the side at that time. If there was something wrong, wouldn't he be silent?"

When he said that, Bitao was at a loss for words.

An Chen didn't think that Fu Liao would justify himself in this way, he said: "Medical envoy Fu, although you are my superior, there are still some things that the subordinate officials still need to clarify."

Bitao turned her eyes to him, "Physician An may wish to speak directly if you have something to say, although I am only a female official of the Ascending Dragon Hall, it is not difficult to keep you safe."

With Bitao's assurance, An Chen calmed down and said, "It's not wrong for Doctor Fu to identify the acupuncture points yesterday, but with acupuncture and moxibustion, sometimes a little difference in strength is also wrong."

Fu Liao was ignorant of the world, and thought that An Chen could become a powerful trump card for him to escape without saying anything yesterday, but he didn't expect him to make such a statement.

Bitao got An Chen's words and said to Fu Liao: "In this case, I can only wrong the Doctor Fu to stay in the West Side Hall temporarily, and see what to say after His Majesty wakes up."

Fu Liao pursed his lips and remained silent, Bitao thought that he had recognized him, so he immediately summoned guards and took him down.

An Chen watched Fu Liao being taken away, a look of deepness flashed in his eyes.

But Bitao said from behind: "Doctor An, follow me in and guard Your Majesty."

During this period of time, because of Ning Yuezhao's illness, Bitao's heart has been ups and downs. Now she can't stand the ups and downs anymore, so she has become 12 yuan careful.

An Chen nodded: "That's exactly what I mean."

So, when Ning Yuezhao woke up leisurely, she was surprised to find that An Chen had fallen asleep lying beside her bed.

It was still raining outside, but inside was peaceful and peaceful.

How long had it been since they had been this close?Ning Yuezhao felt as if she had passed away.

His delicate and beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, he didn't know what he was worrying about, Ning Yuezhao couldn't help reaching out to touch his brows, trying to soothe his deep worries.

At this time, Bitao came in with a medicine bowl and happened to see this scene.
