Chapter 425
Before leaving from Poyuan, Nianfu did not forget to ask Su Cheng to send two servants to follow him to see the news in Gui Nhenfang.
No matter how annoying Ouyang Jin is, there are the old lady's children and grandchildren over there. I don't know if they are well, and the old lady certainly can't rest in peace and recuperate.
But what Nianfu didn't know was that after she left, Su Cheng counted the number of people and suddenly discovered, "Why are there thirty-four people in total? Who is one?"
Luo Wu immediately raised his hand, "It's Luo Xiaoyan. I didn't see him when I went to the palace yesterday. Is he with Princess Shouning?"
Impossible! With so many people sent back, how could he be left alone?
Su Cheng's face changed slightly, and when he was about to catch up with Nianfu to explain clearly, he was already far away.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that his face looked bad, Du Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to ask, but Su Cheng looked at him again but didn't say anything more.
Although he didn't know Luo Xiaoyan's life experience, he knew that there must be some articles, otherwise Mu Shaoqin would not have taken him to the palace alone.
If he is separated from others in the chaos, where will he end up? What if he is taken away by someone with care?
But right now, the most urgent thing is not this.
He had understood what Nian Fu had just said. The situation was still critical and more caution should be taken. The people who came back had already told them the truth. The emperor was assassinated and the scene was in chaos.
Su Cheng knew very well that if Gao Xian was good or bad, let alone Luo Xiaoyan, how many lives would be in ruins!
I don't know what Nianfu's mission is when he leaves the palace at this time. He can only be anxious, but he can't help at all. He can only hope that these young children can withstand the test in the storm and survive the crisis safely.

At this time, in Wangyue Temple, which was only half a day away from the capital, little Master Yan, or should I say Ruan Hanyan, who had also stayed up all night, finally got some news.
Master Cihang did not come back, only a few servants of the Prince Heping Mansion who followed Senior Sister Liaoyuan came back.
"Is your prince's condition getting better?"
Ruan Hanyan's question was not answered. Instead, Yuan Hanyan said angrily, "Go away, don't delay things!"
Looking at the bloodshot eyes, it was obvious that she had not slept all night. After entering the temple, she only drank a few sips of water, and then went into the room to get the medicine hoe to pick out the herbs. Ruan Hanyan, who had lived here for several months, knew that she was going to collect herbs.
After these few days here, Ruan Hanyan has basically figured out the nature of several people in the temple.
Although it is hard work to serve a noble person, the reward afterward will definitely not be less. Liao Yuan is already old, just like Master Cihang. They all want to save more money for old age, how can such a good job let her have such a ruined appearance?
, to an outsider abandoned by the family?
She may not be able to climb Mu Shaoqin, but this is the last glimmer of hope for Ruan Hanyan, who is on the verge of despair. She must not miss it!
Her heart trembled, and she pretended to lower her head to avoid it. But she kicked her back heel and cleverly moved a small stool on the ground a little. She was in a hurry and didn't check the reason. She took something and raised her leg and stepped forward, and she kicked it just in time.
I stepped on the small stool and dropped it, causing the dog to chew on it.
Not only her chin and knees were smashed, but she also accidentally bit her tongue. The pain caused her to shed tears, and she couldn't even speak, let alone walk.
Ruan Hanyan felt slightly apologetic in her heart and hurriedly helped her up, "Sister, are you okay?"
But what can be said about the fate at this time? On the contrary, the servants of the Mu family who were waiting outside said anxiously, "Why did it fall so easily? Then who will take us up the mountain to collect medicine? Our prince is still waiting anxiously for treatment.
!”
"How about I go." Ruan Hanyan asked the maid Ganoderma lucidum to come over and take care of Yuan, and then he took the medicine-picking tools and put them on his back, "I also picked medicine with my teacher, and I know basically all the medicinal materials. Let's talk about them.
What do you want?"
The servants of the Mu family had no time to delay and immediately left to meet her. Although they were depressed about what happened next, they had no choice but to do anything about it.
After asking around again on the way, Ruan Hanyan finally got some useful information.
Mu Shaoqin's current situation cannot be said to be good or bad.
The medicine Nianfu brought from Beijing was good. As soon as he took it, Mu Shaoqin started sweating and his fever was mostly gone. But the situation was still not optimistic. The main reason was that he was weak and some medicines were not good for him.
It was said that it was too overbearing, so people were still dizzy and very uncomfortable.
After all, Master Cihang had been practicing medicine for decades and had quite a bit of experience. Although she was not as good as a medical doctor, Mu Shaoqin's fever was gone, and the most dangerous period was over, so she dared to treat him.
After asking about the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctor in the past, and assessing Mu Shaoqin's constitution, she prescribed another prescription for Mu Shaoqin. She just needed a few medicines, but she just ran out of them, so she had to ask her apprentice to go back to the mountain.
Pick.
Because she has been practicing medicine for many years, she has planted many commonly used herbs in their backyard. However, she is also old and has many mundane duties, so she has no energy to take care of them. Most of them are scattered seeds, and they are left to survive.
It's not much, but it's basically enough.
After hearing what the servants said about the medicines they wanted, Ruan Hanyan had an idea.
If they could collect it so easily, it would not show her sincerity. Therefore, she specially took them to a steep slope to collect herbs.
Seeing the dangerous terrain, Ding Ju, a member of the Mu family, was startled, "Little master, why don't you point it out to us, and let's go down and pick it."
But Ruan Hanyan said, "Even if I point it out to you, you may not know how to collect herbs. I'd better go down and you can just hold the rope for me."
Seeing that she, a little girl, was so brave to go down to collect herbs, several male servants were very moved. Holding the rope, they watched Ruan Hanyan climb down in a thrilling way, almost collecting herbs with difficulty on a 90-degree straight slope.
Suddenly, her foot slipped, and the rope in her hand sank suddenly, as if she was about to fall. Several male servants were so frightened that they worked together to pull the rope, and finally waited for her to say okay before pulling her down.
Everyone was sweating profusely.
One of the leaders said, "Young master, I must report this great kindness to you when you go back to the prince and princess. You must thank me profusely."
"Nothing, let's leave quickly, don't miss the important event." Ruan Hanyan declined, and simply went with them to Giethoorn without even returning to Wangyue Nunnery.
I heard that Yuan had fallen down accidentally, so Ruan Hanyan sent the medicine. Master Cihang was a little unhappy, but she didn't know what to say, so she hurriedly went to cook it for Mu Shaoqin herself.
Ruan Hanyan glanced at Madam Hui, who was too anxious to pay attention to anyone else, and said to Madam Shi, who was looking at her very kindly, "If nothing happens, I will go back first. If you need any more medicinal materials, just send someone to tell her."
In order to be kind, Aunt Shi certainly refused to make people's hard work go in vain, so she said politely, "How can that be done? You've been busy all morning and haven't eaten yet, right? Madam Hui, why don't you let someone take her to eat? You can also
I haven't slept a wink in bed, why don't we go have something to eat together and take a rest. Now that we have a doctor and medicine, her father will be fine."
After saying this to her mother, Madam Hui turned around and finally noticed this little nun who was wearing a veil and wearing her hair. Looking at the mud all over her body and the traces of injuries, she obviously climbed the mountain to collect medicine.
After doing it, Madam Hui felt a little better in her heart.
Ruan Hanyan saw that she finally looked at him. He was secretly relieved. Yingying bowed down and finally announced her name. "Hanyan has met Princess Ping."
Huiniang was stunned, "Do you recognize me?"
Ruan Hanyan said softly, "Prince Concubine, don't you remember me? My surname is Ruan, and I am the sister of Concubine Xian. We have met once at a banquet in the palace."
Ah, Hui Niang suddenly remembered, and her impression of her became three points better. "How come you are here and dressed like this?"
Ruan Hanyan took half a step back. He stroked the veil on his face and said with just the right amount of anxiety and tenderness, "I, I have acne... my family sent me to a temple to rest."
Hui Niang was very sympathetic when she heard this, "Why don't you take care of yourself at home when you are sick, and why do you have to send the person out?"
In her eyes, this little girl is about the same age as her daughter, how can she suffer such injustice?
Ruan Hanyan hurriedly defended, "That's not the case! It's not that they don't care about me, it's just that there are a lot of things at home, and my disease is contagious... Princess, please don't get too close to me. I, I'd better take my leave now.
Bar."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Come on, come and have dinner with me!" Madam Hui, who was always enthusiastic and cheerful, stepped forward without hesitation, grabbed Ruan Hanyan, and took her out.
Feeling the warm hand holding her, Ruan Hanyan knew that she had finally made the right move.

Beijing.
After Nianfu left Poyuan, he went to several palaces closer to the palace and visited them one by one to express the queen's concern and condolences and to calm people's hearts.
Then he "dropped in" to Wang Can's house without entering. He only asked him to say a few words about home affairs at the door. Using the cover of his sleeves, he stuffed the wax pill into Wang Can's palm.
Wang Can hadn't recognized her yet, so he suddenly stuffed something into a strange palace maid, which was a bit strange. The change in his expression inevitably caused Yu Cong next to him to take a second look.
However, Wang Can was extremely smart and immediately covered it up and sent them away as if nothing had happened. When he turned around and crushed the wax pill alone and saw the contents clearly, his eyes were full of shock!
The last stop for Nianfu and his party was to go to Prince Ping's Mansion, where they said they were going to pick up a few things for the Lord of Jiashan.
On the surface, it was Yu Cong who took Nian Fu in, but after returning to the room, it was Yu Cong who was guarding outside. Nian Fu entered the room alone and took out the medicine given by Sandoji from the secret compartment specially designed for her by her father.
It's not that she doesn't trust Yu Cong, but there are some things that she just needs to know, and there's no need to tell everyone.
Just before closing the door, she thought for a moment and put on the self-defense bracelet that Ouyang Kang had given her before. After checking that the three little darts were present, she adjusted them to a suitable size on her wrist and put them on.
Then put down your sleeves to make sure no one would notice you before walking out.
It was just that Yu Cong seemed to walk away for a moment before rushing over from the side. However, before Nian Fu could ask, she took the initiative and said, "I just went to the latrine."
Nian Fu doesn't take this little thing to heart. Anyway, these girls' contracts of sale are all in her hands, and they are all death contracts, so why are they afraid of her?
Back in the palace, everything went well.
After dawn, all the concubines, princes and princesses with status in the palace came to attend to his illness. Although not all of them could come to Gao Xian, there were so many people coming and going, so there was no need to worry about anyone causing trouble.
So when Nianfu returned safely and knew that everything had been taken care of, Queen Wang also breathed a sigh of relief. They arranged a comfortable temporary residence for Nianfu in her palace, and both of them went to catch up on their sleep with peace of mind.
It was a good sleep, and I didn't wake up until sunset after reciting blessings. I heard that the emperor's condition was stable, but it was not determined when he would wake up.
Nianfu knew that the queen must have arrangements, so she was not in a hurry. She ordered tea and rice, continued to recharge her batteries, and waited for dark.
However, she always felt in her heart that she seemed to have missed something, but she couldn't remember it. Is that because she was too preoccupied?
(Because I have a bad cough, I went to the hospital yesterday. After a checkup, I was told that my body was too weak. The doctor said that I can’t stay up late anymore, otherwise it will hurt my body even more. So I only coded out one chapter when I came back, and I will try to update it tomorrow. By the way.
Chapter completed!
