A few days later,
“What about the servant girl?”
Ye Tianshi was packing the medical box on the table, at these words, he looked back and said: “Your Majesty, do you mean Miss Yingluo?”
“Apart from her, who else?” A figure loomed behind the tent, cold as frost, “Bring her here, Zhen will skin her with his own hands!”
The Empress sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl of brown medicine in her hand, the medicine was slightly hot, she kept stirring the spoon in her hand to cool it down, at this she looked up with a smile and said: “Your Majesty, Yingluo was trying to cure you, that's why she spoke so rantingly, now that your Majesty has cleared the blood and phlegm, you are in good spirits! From the point of view of this humble woman, Yingluo has not only done nothing wrong, she has done something good.”
“... What kind of delirium has that bitch put into your head and you believe her?” Hongli said coldly, “In Zhen's opinion, if she hadn't already kept those words in her heart, could she have said them so smoothly? She's using the opportunity of Zhen's medical treatment to vent her anger in a different way!”
The Empress sighed and said: “Even if his Majesty wants to settle the score now, I'm afraid he can't.”
Hongli suddenly fell silent, the tent curtain hid his expression at the moment, only his bony silhouette was reflected on the tent and only after a long time did he say: “... Why?”
“Yingluo had a high fever as soon as she returned, her body was covered in a large red rash, Physician Ye said that she had contracted the disease while taking care of the Emperor and now she could no longer support herself, she had collapsed.” The Empress raised her hand and plucked away the curtain in front of her and said, “Even if Yingluo had a million faults, for the sake of her careful service and the malady she contracted, Your Majesty should not blame her for her slip of the tongue! If not, who else will serve with all their might in the future?”
Behind the tent Hongli's pensive face appeared, he suddenly turned to the Empress with a grim smile and said: “Good, Zhen does not blame her, not only does he not blame her but he will reward her well...”
The Yanxin Palace ear room, several court ladies brought Hongli's reward.
“This, this is...” Wei Yingluo half nestled on the bed, looking at the black medicine in her hands, the corners of her eyes twitched.
“Miss Yingluo, this is the medicine that the Emperor has asked Physician Ye to prescribe for you, drink it now!” The court ladies went to the edge of the bed, one lifted her up, the other passed the spoon with the medicine to her lips.
From the emperor, how can I refuse.
Wei Yingluo could only reluctantly take a sip and with a loud sigh, spat out as much as she could take in, coughing with one hand stuck in her throat for half a day, before saying in horror: “How, how can it be so bitter, what has been put in it?”
The court lady answered honestly: “Yellow lilly.”
Wei Yingluo immediately felt that something was wrong and said: “The medicine Dr. Ye prescribed for the Emperor does not contain Yellow lilly!”
The court lady said: “Not in the Emperor's prescription but in the one Dr. Ye prescribed for you, there must be.”
Wei Yingluo was shocked and said: “Why?”
“To pass on the words of the Emperor.” The court lady's face was expressionless, Wei Yingluo felt she could see a calculating face through the words of the other party and said, “Yellow lilly clears heat and dampness, it clears fire and detoxifies poison!”
“... Can I not drink it?” Wei Yingluo looked at the large bowl of Yellow lilly soup with trepidation.
“Serve the medicine to Miss Yingluo.” The court lady responded in kind.
At the same moment, inside the Yanxin Palace bedchamber.
Ye Tianshi is at Hongli's side, the same bowl of medicine in her hand, containing a similar potion, except for the absence of a single ingredient, Yellow lilly.
Even so, Hongli drank with a frown, as if to reduce his own pain and asked: “Ye Tianshi, has that girl drunk her medicine?”
His Majesty's temper was quick to come and quick to go, in the morning he was a court servant, in the evening he was a court maid, by tomorrow there was no telling what would become of him. Ye Tianshi's mind was whirling with this thought but his mouth said: “By his Majesty's command, of course I must drink the medicine. But, I do not understand, why do you want her to drink the yellow lily?”
Hongli grunted coldly and said: “This girl has a poisonous tongue, she is capable of extracting poisonous words, Yellow lilly is the perfect remedy for her! What other herbs are the most bitter?”
When in a temper, even the Son of Heaven is a mortal and a scheming, petty man. Ye Tianshi could only say: “The most bitter herbs, Yellow lilly, Mu Tong, Gentian Herb, are all very bitter, the most bitter is Bitter Ginseng-”
Hongli waved his hand and said: “Then from today onwards, three times a day, each time she has to drink a different kind of bitter medicine, make her drink it in different ways! If she refuses to drink, force her to drink! Zhen is trying to save the life of her benefactor, do you understand?”
“Yes.” Ye Tianshi responded.
“Heh heh heh...” Hongli was in a good mood as he thought of the other person's miserable state of vomiting while drinking, he laughed out loud at the thought, Ye Tianshi's soup was brought back to his mouth, he didn't mind it anymore, he drank it all down with a smile.
Ye Tianshi saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched but he dared not say anything.
But the assignment of Hongli was not a bad thing, at least he did not have to think of any reason, any excuse to visit Wei Yingluo.
After leaving the Yanxin Palace, with his medicine chest on his back, he made his way to the ear room in the side hall.
The palace staff had been informed, no one stopped him, he just waltzed in, closed his hand behind him and said to the figure lying on the bed: “Miss Wei, it's me!”
Wei Yingluo, who had been breathless, so sick that she was dying, suddenly sprang up from the bed like a rabbit at the sound of his voice and said with a grumbling face: “Physician Ye, can you not add yellow lily, it's too bitter!”
“It's not up to me, it's the order from above.” Ye Tianshi pointed his finger at the sky, implying that it was a compulsory order from the Emperor, then opened the medicine chest and retrieved a small vial from inside, “Sulphur ointment is for scabies, it's not the right remedy, change it to this!”
There was a pause and a tentative question: “Miss Yingluo, I don't understand something...”
Wei Yingluo took it in both hands: “You ask.”
“Why did you deliberately take peanuts, when you knew you were allergic to them since you were a child to cause a large red rash? And to get me to fake a medical case of scabies...” Ye Tianshi asked, thinking about what Hongli had done and having a vague answer in mind.
There was nothing wrong with that, or perhaps it was better to give him the answer, so that he wouldn't have to think about it himself.
“... I have deliberately provoked the emperor, he will wake up and the first thing he will do is to take me to task with a huge punishment but if I am ill, he will not be able to punish me again, even if he is angry.” Wei Yingluo smiled faintly, with a sickly pallor on her face she said, “After all, everyone knows, it was my care of the Emperor that caused the illness.”
Ye Tianshi was slightly surprised, on second thought, it all made sense, he nodded admiringly and said: “Your wisdom and loyalty are beyond the reach of others, don't worry, I will do my best to cover up, you will not be exposed!”
Wei Yingluo smiled but did not say anything.
When Ye Tianshi had left, she muttered: “Loyalty? I was just taking the opportunity to vent my anger, who told him to do this to the Empress Niangniang...”
Like a lotus blossoming in the mud, the Empress's character is immaculate compared to others in the palace. Wei Yingluo loved her and sometimes could not help comparing her to her sister and concluded... The two were very much alike, in character and in the way they looked after her...
Wei Yingluo can go to the palace for her sister and scold Hongli for the Empress.
