Chapter 55: The Concubine's Mistake
In this way, the master and servant were punished to kneel together and starve for two whole days.
Qiu Bi ran out of strength and fell down.
Ning Yunxi was startled and quickly reached out to help.
"Can't hold on any longer?"
"Do you still want to share weal and woe together?"
"There have always been people who follow others to enjoy happiness and vie for the first place. How can there be someone like you?"
"Do you think that the imperial concubine aunt is joking with me?"
Qiu Bi shook her head, too weak to speak.
"This servant...does not want to...be alone."
Ning Yunxi was both amused and confused.
"Why are you so stubborn?"
"Someone will be here soon. Just hold on for a while and I'll rescue you. Just listen to me, okay?"
Qiu Bi continued to shake her head.
"When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer..."
"Unless the girl goes out with this slave."
Ning Yunxi had no choice but to touch the silver ring and take out a dose of anesthetic, which made her fall asleep.
Then, according to Qiu Bi's physical condition, he took out appropriate nutritional injections to relieve her weakness in time.
After a while, a window in the side hall was opened by a eunuch named Xiao Fuzi.
"Miss Ning San is well. I am ordered to bring you food."
Ning Yunxi dragged her hungry body to the window and asked directly.
"Did the Emperor ask you to come?"
Xiao Fuzi was extremely surprised.
"I haven't mentioned it yet, how did you know about it?"
"It turns out that the rumors outside, that the girl has amazing foresight, are all true!"
Ning Yunxi held up her pale lips and smiled helplessly.
This matter seemed to be the plan of the Prince of Chen, but in fact the Emperor also had some conspiracy behind it.
There was no way he would miss this good opportunity to win her over.
After all, he was still waiting for her to prescribe medicine for his old illness.
"Leave the meal here, and tell the emperor a message for me."
Xiao Fuzi nodded as he was told.
"Girl, please tell me."
Ning Yunxi turned around and glanced at Qiu Bi worriedly.
"Tell the emperor to secretly send someone to send Qiu Bi to the residence of Yin Sicheng, Lord Xie."
"Remember, ask Mr. Xie to write me a letter."
Xiao Fuzi didn't understand.
"What kind of letter does the young lady need to thank you for writing?"
Ning Yunxi did not say it explicitly.
"If you pass the message on, Mr. Xie will understand."
"Also, please tell the emperor that as long as Qiu Bi is well, I will consider the emperor's thoughts carefully."
Xiao Fuzi nodded in response and handed over the food box with both hands.
"The slave obeys."
"Please have your meal first, young lady. I will report to you right away."
After saying that, he closed the window, turned and left.
Not long after,
The window was opened by Xiao Fuzi again.
"The Emperor has ordered that the young lady at least show some sincerity."
Ning Yunxi was speechless.
Gu Mengzhen and Gu Nianting are an amazing father and son. They don't want to suffer any loss at all.
She touched the silver ring, took out a dose of medicine, put it into a porcelain bottle, and handed it over.
"I happen to have a dose of what the emperor needs. Mix it with half a bowl of boiling water and drink it after it cools down."
"Please trouble the eunuch to make another trip."
……
Emperor Palace.
Gu Mengzhen had already received Ning Yunxi's medicine, but he did not brew it and drink it. Instead, he found An Song, the head of the Imperial Hospital.
"Look, my dear Lord An. This is the miraculous medicine that Miss Ning used to treat my old illness."
"Take it back, study it carefully, and write down its formula."
Ansong was stunned for a moment.
"Last year, when Miss Ning San was treating the emperor's old illness, the emperor summoned me to see him and took a look at the bowl of medicine."
"Miss Ning San's prescription is very profound. I am not very knowledgeable and it is difficult for me to study it."
Gu Mengzhen did not give up.
"Last year, you only saw the decoction."
"This time, the original medicine has not been used. I think it will be more helpful for you to study the prescription."
Ansong responded and went forward to check.
"Yes."
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will take a closer look."
Ansong was shocked at first sight.
"Your Majesty, this medicine is very different from the previous miraculous medicine."
"I was able to identify all the medicinal ingredients in the previous prescription, but it is difficult to study the dosage."
"This medicine is extremely rare and contains several ingredients that I have never heard of before."
Gu Mengzhen couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"My dear Lord An, do you think there is something harmful in this medicine?"
Ansong bowed respectfully.
"No, I didn't detect anything dangerous."
"If I am not mistaken, this medicine is more effective and milder than the previous miraculous medicine."
"However, just in case, the emperor needs to find someone to try it before he can take it with confidence."
Gu Mengzhen has always been prepared for someone with the same old illness.
After trying it, the effect is indeed better.
Gu Mengzhen was full of surprise.
Ansong breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that Miss Ning's medical skills have become more sophisticated."
Gu Mengzhen smiled contentedly.
"Can Lord An figure out the formula for this medicine?"
Ansong shook his head helplessly.
"This medicine is rare. It is impossible to study the prescription."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Gu Mengzhen was greatly disappointed.
"In this case, I can only rely on her?"
Ansong took a few steps back and bowed deeply.
"I dare to make a suggestion. Miss Ning San is not only an excellent doctor, but also good at strategy. If she can be used by the emperor, it will be a great thing to add icing on the cake."
"Besides, Miss Ning San was originally the emperor's right-hand man."
"It's only because of His Royal Highness Prince Chen that I switched to Prince Dijin."
"In my humble opinion, why doesn't Your Majesty take advantage of the fact that Prince Di Jin still has a grudge and persuade Miss Ning San to change her mind?"
Gu Mengzhen was at a loss and let out a sigh.
"That's exactly what I meant, but how easy is it?"
"I thought of secretly facilitating Concubine Yi's kneeling punishment, and then quietly sending food to Miss Ning, to highlight my good intentions."
"But I think this plan is too crude and will definitely not be hidden from her."
Ansong smiled calmly.
"No matter how clever the schemes are, Miss Ning San can't be involved. So when the emperor uses a scheme, he really doesn't need to worry about whether she sees through it or not."
"With her intelligence, she will only enter the game willingly."
"Now, the Qiubi incident is a good opportunity."
Gu Mengzhen nodded suddenly.
"You go there in person and send Qiu Bi to Xie's house."
"It's just that I am a little worried. After all, Xie Mao assists King Dijin."
Ansong disagrees.
"I am sorry, Your Majesty, what you said is wrong."
"The reason why Lord Xie assisted Prince Dijin was because Miss Ning San used medicine to cure Madam Xie's illness."
"Therefore, the one that Sir Xie sincerely admires is not Prince Di Jin, but Miss Ning San."
"If the Emperor can impress Miss Ning San, then Mr. Xie will naturally..."
Gu Mengzhen agreed with a smile.
"Your Excellency An, what you said makes sense."
In this way, Qiu Bi was escorted to Xie's house.
Ning Yunxi also received a reply from Xie Mao.
In order to prove his identity, Xie Mao specially enclosed the medicinal herbs used to treat Xie's mother in the envelope.
Ning Yunxi smiled with relief when she learned that Qiu Bi had moved into Xie's house safely.
In the following days, Gu Mengzhen would bring her meals.
After several days and nights, Mu Yan finally noticed something was wrong.
"what?"
"Still alive?"
"It's really strange. How can an ordinary person survive until this point without drinking a drop of water or eating a grain of rice?"
"Go check right now, who is trying to stop me from doing this?!"
