Nangong Yue was slightly surprised when she heard this, and blurted out: "Sister Xia, what is going on?"
Han Qixia looked a little confused and murmured: "...I don't know either."
Nangong Yue took a deep breath and said soothingly: "Sister Xia, sit down first and don't be so anxious. Maybe she didn't recognize it? Your appearance now is very different from when you were in the royal capital. Yes. Even if I suddenly see you on the road, I may not be able to recognize you, let alone when you are putting on clothes. You have never met each other."
"But..."
Nangong Yue pulled her to sit down, and poured her a cup of hot tea with her own hands. After she took two sips, she asked: "Sister Xia, where did you see the clothes?"
Nangong Yue's calmness infected Han Qixia. She put down the tea cup in her hand, straightened her thoughts and said: "...Early this morning, I went to Maofeng Town to deliver medicine to several families there." Previous A while ago, when they were doing a free clinic in Maofeng Town, they met several families whose families had chronic diseases and had no money to see a doctor or buy medicine. After that, Han Qixia would send some medicine from time to time, "I came from Maofeng Town. When I was there, I saw the person holding the clothes. She stared at me for a long time, smiled again, and then left. My feeling told me that she must have recognized me."
Nangong Yue confirmed: "Sister Xia, are you sure you are putting on clothes?"
Han Qixia nodded and said firmly: "I'm sure."
Nangong Yue thought: "Who else besides her?"
"There were also Dr. Wu and some accompanying officers and soldiers." Han Qixia recalled, "However, Dr. Wu did not see me at that time."
Mr. Wu...
The day after Nangong Yue returned to Yanding City, Zhu Xing handed over Nangong Xin's letter from the royal capital.
The letter detailed the whole story of the fifth prince's injury. Although Nangong Yue had already learned about this from Guan Yubai, Nangong Xin's letter was obviously more detailed and more... distressing.
Calculating the time since the fifth prince was injured, Imperial Physician Wu has now arrived in Luo Yuecheng. Could it be that the fifth prince was in bad condition, so he came specifically to seek medical treatment from her? So, why did the clothing come about?
"Baihui." Nangong Yue commanded in a deep voice, "Go to the front and ask Zhu Xing if he has received any news from anyone coming from the royal capital."
After they came to Southern Xinjiang, they did not remove the intelligence network in the royal capital. It was impossible for the emperor to send people to Southern Xinjiang for such a big matter without getting any information!
Bai Hui hurriedly retreated, and Nangong Yue poured another cup of tea for Han Qixia. She tried to slow down her voice and said comfortingly: "Sister Xia, there are similarities between people in this world. To take a step back, even if she really recognizes you, she will How about it? She's just a foreign saint and a concubine."
When her identity was discovered at first, Han Qixia was indeed panicked and a little confused, but now, she has gradually calmed down.
Think about it carefully, just as Yue'er said, people have similarities. As long as you don't admit it, what can you do about dressing up? Are you going back to the royal capital to complain to Uncle Huang?
"Yue'er." Han Qixia couldn't help but ask, "If the clothes are not for the third prince, how could he come to southern Xinjiang?" She didn't know that the three princes were canonized as county kings.
Nangong Yue shook her head, it was a bit unbelievable that Zhang Yi would come here.
When the cup of tea was finished, Baihui came back. She looked at Han Qixia and saw that Nangong Yue didn't care, so she knelt down and said, "Your concubine, Butler Zhu said that she had received a message from the king fifteen days ago. The flying pigeons from all over came to pass the message, and it was immediately sent to Yanding City."
Nangong Yue was slightly startled and understood.
Obviously missed.
When Zhu Xing's letter arrived in Yanding City, she might have just set off, but after returning to Luoyue City, Zhu Xing instinctively thought that she had actually received the letter.
So much so that by mistake...
At this point, there is no need to go into details. Nangong Yue asked directly: "Who did the emperor send here, and why did they come to southern Xinjiang?"
"It's because of the illness of His Highness the Fifth Prince..."
"Wait a minute." Han Qixia interrupted in surprise, "What happened to Cousin Fan?"
"A few days ago, my brother wrote to me and told me that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince fell from the steps while praying at the Temple of Heaven." Nangong Yue simply told what she knew, and Han Qixia couldn't help but cover her eyes. His lips restrained himself from choking out a sound.
Nangong Yue patted Han Qixia's hand, nodded to Baihui, and motioned for her to continue.
"It is said that there is a strange medicine in Baiyue that can cure His Highness the Fifth Prince. The emperor ordered the Saint of Baiyue to ask for the medicine from Baiyue."
"How many people are there on this trip?"
"The Saint of Baiyue and the Imperial Physician Wu from the Tai Hospital were escorted by Prince Han of the Prince of Qi's Mansion led by a thousand royal guards."
Han Qixia's eyes lit up and she said: "Brother is here too?!"
Nangong Yue smiled at her and said, "Sister Xia, you must be able to meet Mr. Han before he returns to the capital." After saying that, she blinked and said, "I'm not sure, I can still let you He's 'meeting' Ahe."
Understanding the implication of Nangong Yue’s words, Han Qixia’s face turned red.
Nangong Yue’s thoughts moved rapidly.
As for the condition of the fifth prince, she was actually powerless in southern Xinjiang. What made her a little uneasy was the "medicine" offered by Kui Lang. Is this really a cure?
At this time, is it because of the fifth prince that Zhang Yi will come to southern Xinjiang, or... has some other agenda?
Nangong Yue even suspected it was the latter.
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue nodded slightly at Baihui, who immediately understood what she meant and went to the front yard to let Zhu Xing send people to keep an eye on her.
In the afternoon of that day, Han Huaijun, Imperial Physician Wu and Zhui Yi entered Luoyue City. They were accompanied by only fifty imperial guardsmen, while the rest were stationed outside the city. In addition to **** and entering the inn, Han Huaijun and Dr. Wu went straight to the Zhennan Palace to pay their respects to the King of Zhennan.
Obviously, King Zhennan had known for a long time that someone from the capital would be coming, so he came back from the military camp early.
When Nangong Yue got the news, Han Qixia had just returned, and she was feeding Xiao Hui with dried meat.
Nangong Yue touched Xiao Hui’s head, and then picked up another piece of dried meat, but this time before it was delivered to Xiao Hui’s mouth, she heard a "meow" sound, and Xiao Ju didn’t know when she squatted on her At her feet, a pair of golden eyes looked at her without blinking, as if to say, what are you eating secretly?
Nangong Yue’s brows twitched. It would have been fine for Xiao Ju to eat some of the dried meat, but after she had been away for more than a month, Xiao Ju was so used by Xiao Fei that she gained an unknown amount of pounds. Now her body shape has become It's two times bigger than Xiaobai.
No, we can no longer tolerate this greedy guy.
Nangong Yue hardened her heart and threw the dried meat to Xiao Hui. Xiao Hui swallowed it in one gulp and looked down at Xiao Ju proudly. Xiao Ju gave a pitiful "Mew" sound and still looked up at Nangong. Yue......
Just when Nangong Yue was in a dilemma, Huamei hurriedly came in and said: "The Crown Princess, Dr. Wu is here to see you."
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows. She originally wanted to find a chance to call Doctor Wu here tomorrow, but unexpectedly, he took the initiative to ask to see her. Nangong Yue straightened her clothes and went to the main hall of the outer courtyard to meet the guests.
After the two exchanged greetings, Doctor Wu went straight into the tunnel and explained his purpose.
"Concubine, I am here this time for the sake of His Highness the Fifth Prince..." Dr. Wu frowned, and worriedly told the story of the Fifth Prince throwing himself off the altar of heaven, until the Fifth Prince took the medicine. After Nangong Xinxian took the life-saving pill, he finally saved his life and regained consciousness the next day, but...
The more Dr. Wu spoke, the more solemn his expression became: "Prince Concubine, the Fifth Prince has had headaches from time to time since he woke up, sometimes once a day, sometimes three or four times a day. Once he has a headache, the Fifth Prince will His Highness will become violent..." The emperor and the empress saw that the fifth prince suffered from headaches every day, and even hit his head on the desk when the pain was so severe. Naturally, he was heartbroken. The empress even shed tears every day and could not sleep. .
The Imperial Physician Wu sighed quietly: "The Imperial Hospital is also troubled by this. Several imperial doctors consulted several times and tried various methods such as acupuncture, massage, moxibustion, decoctions, and external ointments, but nothing worked. His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince had no help at all... he could only watch His Highness the Fifth Prince haggard and suffer day by day. Until later, His Highness Ma Kuilang, the third consort of Baiyue, presented a Baiyue wonder medicine - Wuhe ointment. Originally, the emperor and the queen The empress did not dare to use this Wuhe ointment easily, but one time His Highness the Fifth Prince was so unbearable that he had an unbearable headache and cut himself with a knife. The bleeding continued, so the Emperor decided to take the risk..."
Nangong Yue listened attentively. Now that the emperor has allowed Chen Yi to go on this trip, then Kui Lang’s medicine must be...
Sure enough——
Taiyi Wu continued: "After taking Wuhe ointment, His Highness the Fifth Prince's headaches subsided and his mood became calm and stable. The Emperor and the Queen were overjoyed and ordered the Third Prince Consort to continue donating the medicine, but the Third Prince Consort said When several envoys from Baiyue came to Dayu, they didn't bring much Wuhe ointment with them, so they had to send people to Baiyue to get it. Later, the emperor summoned me and ordered me to accompany the concubine in the clothes on this trip. To test the medicine."
Obviously, Dr. Wu didn't know why she ordered Shui Yi to come in the end. After all, no matter what her original identity was, she was now just a concubine of the county prince's palace. It was really against the rules to act like this. Nangong Yue guessed that something else might have happened in the royal capital, and that this matter was either too secretive or too important that even Dr. Wu didn't know.
Nangong Yue’s face was as dark as water. She originally suspected that the fifth prince’s life was in danger because of the congestion in his head. Even if there was a life-saving pill to protect his heart, it was obvious that the congestion had not been eliminated for a day, and the fifth prince’s illness There will be no cure. Since it is a congestion syndrome, ordinary medicines should only alleviate it at most, rather than cure it. The effect of Wuhe ointment is so good, but it makes Nangong Yue a little uneasy.
For a long time, Nangong Yue just raised her eyes and asked: "Mr. Wu, do you have that Wuhe ointment on hand?"
"Prince Concubine," Imperial Physician Wu shook his head: "The amount of Wuhe ointment presented by the three consorts is too small. The journey is far away. The Queen is worried that she will not be able to support us back to the capital, so she will keep it herself. , every time His Highness the Fifth Prince gets sick and suffers from unbearable headaches, he will take a small amount of it for His Highness to relieve the pain." At this point, he stood up and bowed, "Your Royal Highness, I am taking the liberty of asking for a visit today. Actually, I also want to ask your Royal Highness for advice. Is there any other way to treat His Highness the Fifth Prince?" Dr. Wu also felt that there was something wrong with the Wuhe ointment, but now it was the only one that could suppress His Highness the Fifth Prince's headache.
Nangong Yue pondered for a moment, then asked instead: "Mr. Wu, I wonder how long you will stay in Luoyue City?"
Mr. Wu bowed and replied: "Before we left the capital, the emperor ordered the three consorts to write a letter in person and send it back to Baiyue by flying pigeon. Counting the days, the people in Baiyue must have been there. After receiving the letter, I estimate that they will come to Luoyue City with Wuhe ointment in the next few days." After getting the medicine, they naturally had to rush back to the capital.
Nangong Yue nodded slightly. It seemed that the emperor sent Wei Yi just as a compromise. In fact, he didn't believe in Wei Lang, let alone Kui Lang, so he ordered Han Huaijun to lead a thousand imperial guards to **** him. It is supposed to be an escort, but in reality it should be a surveillance...
Forbiddening Zhang Yi not to leave Luo Yuecheng was obviously to keep the variables to a minimum.
"Mr. Wu," Nangong Yue's mind raced, and she quickly made up her mind, suggesting, "You have to take a good rest after a long journey, and you can come with me to see my grandfather in two days."
The royal capital is more than a thousand miles away from Luo Yue City. When she came here at the beginning of the year, she had been on the road for a full month. Calculating the time, the trip by Dr. Wu and his companions only took less than twenty days at most. They must have traveled day and night for the fifth prince's condition. Dr. Wu was already old and should have a good two days' rest.
Grandpa? ! Lin Jingchen? ! Doctor Wu stared in shock and blurted out: "Old miracle doctor Lin is also in Luoyue City?!" What a coincidence! Perhaps His Highness the Fifth Prince should not die after all... A glimmer of hope ignited in Dr. Wu's heart.
Nangong Yue nodded and said: "My grandfather traveled here, so I left him to live in Luoyue City for a while. However, he doesn't like red tape by nature, so he now lives in a house in the west of the city. I don't know about Doctor Wu's trip. Did you bring the pulse of His Highness the Fifth Prince?"
Taiyi Wu hurriedly said: "Take it, take it, I specially asked someone to copy down all the pulse records of His Highness the Fifth Prince... Concubine, I will quickly sort out the pulse records when I get back soon." Speaking of Lin Jingchen, Hairu The grizzled Dr. Wu acted as if he was going to see his husband's students, and left in a hurry.
Nangong Yue did not keep him and ordered him to see off the guests.
Taiyi Wu came to see Nangong Yue for advice on the fifth prince's condition. After seeing him, he naturally returned to the palace, and together with Han Huaijun, said goodbye to King Zhennan and went to the inn where he was temporarily staying. According to the news sent by Zhu Xing, Bai Yi never came out since he entered the inn, and he was very content with himself.
Nangong Yue nodded and ignored it for the time being. Now she still has an important thing to do...
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, a Zhulun chariot came to General Dingyuan’s mansion in person.
The main entrance of the General's Mansion is wide open. The servants in the mansion all know that today is the day when the Crown Princess comes to represent the Zhennan Palace to make a small engagement for the eldest daughter of the family. Everyone has their heads held high and their eyebrows are dancing. Now the long room The momentum is extraordinary.
A stewardess respectfully welcomed Nangong Yue into the main hall behind the second door. Madam Zhou, Mrs. Wang, Zhou Roujia and several female family members from the second room of Zhou Mansion were waiting there.
When Nangong Yue entered the main hall, the female relatives of the Zhou Mansion stood up one after another and bowed their knees to salute Nangong Yue.
After a while of greetings, everyone sat down again, and Nangong Yue naturally took the seat of honor.
Today Nangong Yue brought a pair of wooden geese made of chicken wings as a gift to Zhi as well as four boxes of small gifts. From gold ornaments and jewelry to clothes and fabrics, there is a dazzling array. Not only is it comprehensive, but everything is precious and exquisite. , at first glance, it was carefully prepared.
The maid opened each box of small wedding gifts and showed them to the female relatives in the room. This also showed that the palace valued Zhou Roujia.
Zhou Rouhui on the side was so jealous that she almost went crazy: I don’t know how Zhou Roujia managed to win over the Crown Princess this time, but she really wanted to fly up a branch and become a phoenix! What is really hateful is that once the villain succeeded, he used the authority of the Crown Princess to force her to live in the big house for more than a month. During this period, she could say that her days were like years, but even her mother did not dare to disobey the Crown Princess, and she also I have no choice but to continue living in the big house... until Zhou Roujia gets married!
Thinking about it, Zhou Rouhui twisted the veil fiercely with both hands. It was obvious that she should be enjoying the honor now!
Nangong Yue looked at Zhou Roujia who walked up to her with a smile——
After a month of absence, Zhou Roujia’s temperament has become more calm and reserved, and her appearance is dignified and beautiful.
When Nangong Yue personally inserted a red gold and ruby phoenix hairpin for Zhou Roujia, Zhou Roujia couldn't help but lowered her head shyly.
If she accepts this hairpin, it means that the wedding ceremony has been completed, and her marriage to Mr. Xiao is certain, and there will be no more changes...
All this is thanks to the Crown Princess and Xiao Fei. Zhou Roujia silently remembered it in her heart, and Yingying thanked her: "Thank you, Crown Princess."
Watching this scene, Mrs. Zhou’s eyes filled with tears. She almost shed tears, feeling happy and anxious at the same time.
The happy thing is that her daughter's twists and turns have not ruined her life after all; the anxious thing is that she has to start preparing a dowry for her daughter... She will only have such a daughter in her life, even if her husband doesn't care about her daughter , but I must never wrong my daughter, I must let my daughter marry with glory!
Nangong Yue also had something on her mind. She changed her title to Mrs. Wang with a smile and said, "Madam, since the wedding ceremony has been completed, it happens to be an auspicious day in three days. Madam-in-law thinks that she will go to Mazu Temple to pray for blessings in three days. How?"
According to the rules of southern Xinjiang, both men and women should go to the Mazu Temple to pray together after the small wedding ceremony. This is also to ensure that the marriage of the two families goes smoothly and that the couple can live harmoniously and happily in the future.
After praying, it’s time to discuss the wedding date...
The more Wang thought about it, the more excited she became. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hurriedly echoed: "Prince Concubine, you make the decision."
Zhou Roujia's cheeks turned even redder, and even her ears were burning.
In less than a short period of time, Mrs. Lu's mood on Tuesday has changed several times, including guilt, jealousy, anger, and unwillingness...
But what else can she do? Her sister Hui has been living in the long house for more than a month. She has nightmares every day, fearing that the incense she lights day and night will harm her daughter. Heirs, and her son... Since the end of the road was not done, she had no choice but to accept her fate. She only hoped that she could quickly coax the imperial concubine to be merciful and allow Sister Hui to come back to live, and then give her son a future.
When the time comes, I will find a doctor to give Sister Hui a good treatment, and I think it will be fine, right?
Mrs. Lu was immersed in her own thoughts, completely unaware of Zhou Rouhui's gloomy expression. She glared at Zhou Roujia with uneasiness, then half-closed her eyes, with a hint of sinisterness flashing in her eyes: praying for blessings at Mazu Temple in a few days. ...She still has a chance!
After that, the group of people moved to the small flower hall. After using some of the seats, Nangong Yue said goodbye and returned to Zhennan Palace. The red wheel cart also carried four boxes of return gifts prepared by Wang. This return gift Naturally, it is for Xiao Luan. In addition to the Four Treasures of the Study, there are also robes, shoes and hats that Zhou Roujia personally sewn for Xiao Luan.
As soon as Nangong Yue returned to Bixiaotang, she ordered people to send these four boxes of return gifts to Xiao Luan.
Of course Xiao Luan knew what a big day it was today, and he also knew that the robes, shoes, and hats included in this gift were handmade by his wife who had never married him before. This is not the first time that someone has helped him sew robes. Those maids and Pianpian have also made a lot of clothes for him, but this is the first time that someone has done this for him as his wife.
Thinking about it, Xiao Luan couldn't help but think of the scene when they looked at each other in the small garden that day. He and she seemed to be able to talk, and Xiao Hui had a good impression of her, and Xiao Ju liked her. My sister-in-law and sister also think she is very good...
He just said that she should be a good wife!
Xiao Luan couldn't help but pick up a robe, and suddenly there was a hint of expectation in her heart, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
He suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, he strode towards the desk, then opened the drawer and took out a wooden box. After opening the box, the smile on his handsome face became even brighter. If it were her, she would probably like this gift, right? !
Xiao Luan closed the box and hurriedly called the boy, asking him to quickly deliver it to Miss Zhou's house.
