Chapter 49 Warmth
"Ah... Queen wants to summon me?"
Chen Yi couldn't help but be surprised. He was excited to think that he might see the legendary woman Wu Zetian one day!
This was something he had never thought of. Helan Minzhi's words gave him a sudden feeling!
Helan Minzhi told Wu Zetian about his affairs, which he had never expected. Can this be said to be a very rare opportunity to truly integrate into this era and participate in history? Chen Yi was suddenly confused!
Seeing Chen Yi's face look shocked again, Helan Minzhi smiled proudly again, "Zi Ying, maybe my aunt will summon you to the palace soon, and the emperor's illness has not been cured. The medicine given by Master Sun only controls the condition and cannot be based on the emperor's illness. The emperor's health has been deteriorating in recent years. He recommended you to his aunt, saying that you may have a way to cure the emperor's illness. It is recommended that you try to summon you to the palace today. Let you treat your mother's illness today, which is Master Sun's idea... My aunt also knows..."
Helan Minzhi's words surprised Chen Yi even more. He could not have imagined that Sun Simiao was so "out of the way". Without really seeing his medical skills, he actually recommended him as a young man to Wu Zetian. This is a bit tricky!
If he really went to the palace to diagnose Li Zhi, he could not give a correct diagnosis, or had a correct diagnosis but no good means of treatment, or the effect was not good after treatment, then Wu Zetian would definitely punish him. Didn’t Sun Simiao push him into the fire pit?
"Brother Changju, are you telling a joke?" Chen Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, "Based on my age and qualifications, how could it be possible to go to the palace to diagnose the emperor? Don't play... I, I won't sleep at night!"
"Are I telling a joke? You will know in a few days!" Helan Minzhi didn't explain anything, but smiled and said, "Zi Ying, it's getting late. You're tired for a day. Go back and rest early. I'll ask the housekeeper to arrange a carriage for you and send you back to the inn! But... If my mother gets up again at night, she will still be troubled. I hope you don't take it wrong!"
"Brother Changzhu, please be polite. Come and call me anytime if you have any situation!" Chen Yigong bowed and did not make any more politeness. He Lanping, the butler of the Korean Lady's Mansion who had been waiting beside him, walked out.
--------------------
The curfew has begun. There are no idle personnel on the street except for the patrolling Jinwu Guard soldiers. They look very wide and quiet. The carriage Chen Yi was riding on was walking on the street that could be said to be empty, without being blocked and interrogated by anyone.
People in any era have different values of high and low status, especially in ancient times, people with special identities often wandered outside the systems and laws. The Queen's sister and the Korean Lady's mansion still dared not stop the Jinwu Guard soldiers.
After the carriage arrived, Chen Yi walked back to the inn with a relaxed step. After going upstairs with the surprise eyes of the shopkeeper and the waiter, he went directly to knock on the door of Ning Qing's room. Ning Qing was depressed and worried inside the room. After hearing the knock, he immediately trotted to open the door.
When Ning Qing saw Chen Yi outside the door, his originally depressed expression disappeared immediately and he suddenly smiled, "Ziying, are you finally back? I have been worried about you, come in quickly! I thought you were not back!"
Chen Yi entered the door and asked Ning Qing with a smile with a little apology: "Qing'er, I'm so embarrassed to come back so late, which makes you worry!"
Ning Qing closed the door, smiled sweetly at Chen Yi, and said shyly: "Ziying, Mr. Helan sent someone to tell you where you go, I don't have too much worry! You must be tired when you go to the clinic for someone today. Are you having a meal? I'll get food for you!"
Ning Qing acted like a virtuous and considerate young wife, and was very concerned, which moved Helanmin!
"Qing'er, I've eaten it, and I'm not tired!" Chen Yi reached out and grabbed Ning Qing and said gently: "I'm very worried about throwing you alone in the inn today, so... I'll be back at night!"
Ning Qing did not push his hand out, let Chen Yi hold it, smiled shyly, and said softly: "Ziying, I thought you would definitely come back, so I kept sitting and waiting for you! Are you really not hungry?"
"I'm really not hungry!" Helan Minzhi didn't let go of his hand, holding Ning Qing's gentle and delicate little hand in his palm, and said a little emotionally: "Qing'er, thank you for waiting for me. I shouldn't have left you... I should have brought you with me today, so as not to worry!"
"It's okay, you are helping someone to diagnose the disease for your master. Saving someone is like putting out a fire. You shouldn't care about me at all," Ning Qing said a little embarrassedly, "It's a pity that I'm not good at studying medicine, and I dare not diagnose someone else. Otherwise, I can really follow you and help you! By the way, Ziying, how is the condition of Mrs. Korean? Has it improved?"
When Chen Yi stayed at the Korean Lady's Mansion, Helan Minzhi sent someone to talk to Ning Qingsi and told their family's identity. Ning Qing was able to know where Chen Yi went to treat the patient. As he spoke, he naturally asked about the condition of the Korean Lady, who was a patient.
"The Korean lady is suffering from lung disease. After I used some methods, she has recovered a lot. Her fever has subsided and her breathing has been smooth. It should be nothing serious!" Chen Yi said as he closed his smile and said a little apologetically: "Qing'er, I will go to the Korean lady's house tomorrow to see how the Korean lady's condition is after a night. Otherwise, you go with me!"
"Okay!" Ning Qing agreed immediately, but soon shook his head, "No, you should go alone. I am a little priest and dare not go to the Korean lady's mansion.... You should go alone to avoid trouble!"
Chen Yi thought about it and nodded in agreement, "That's fine, you're still waiting in the inn, I'll come back as soon as possible! Qing'er, after this matter is over, I'll take you out to play. We'll play outside the city. I want to go to the side of Baqiao..."
"Okay!" Ning Qing looked up and agreed immediately, then lowered her head quickly, as if she realized that her hand was being pulled by Chen Yi, her face suddenly turned red, she simply shook Chen Yi's hand and glared at Chen Yi very charmingly, "Ziying, it's getting late, let's get off early, you must be tired today, and you have something to do tomorrow, I...I want to sleep too!"
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, but seeing Ning Qing blushing and running to the door and opening the door, he immediately realized that they were staying at Ning Qing's room now. It turned out that the little girl was confused and thought it was the room he lived in, and was about to leave. He immediately said, "Qing'er, this is your room. You can rest, I'll go to bed too. We'll get up early tomorrow and have breakfast together!" As he said that, Shi Shiran walked towards the door, and showed a naughty smile to Ning Qing.
"Oh!" Ning Qing then came to his senses, withdrew his hand that wanted to open the door, and smiled embarrassedly at Chen Yi. He was so confused that she really thought she had come to Chen Yi's room, and felt shy and wanted to escape. After Chen Yi reminded her, she realized her shame and felt even stronger.
Could it be that someone has seen through some of his little thoughts?
Looking at Ning Qing's lovely look, Chen Yi was very happy and wanted to say a few words to tease the little girl, but he was afraid that something would happen. After all, there were only two of them, one man and a widow, and it would be troublesome to play too much!
In Ning Qing's reluctance but embarrassed gaze, Chen Yi returned to his room! But he did not go to bed immediately, but lay on the bed with his clothes, pillowing his head and thinking about what happened today. Of course, it was mainly to think of the family he had just met, the three legendary figures in history, thinking about how to date and get along with them in the future, and whether to stay away from them after this incident.
