43 Plague(1/2)
The two of them calmed down and focused on processing medicinal materials.
Because the prince was unwilling to reveal Qiu Xiaobei's ability to know medicine, and the prince wanted to cause trouble, he promoted it on the grounds that Emperor Taizu had a dream. So at this time, the matter of antidotes they had must not be known. It was said that there were also palace people in the Eastern Palace who found out that there were any abnormalities in their bodies, but it was just that the Taigong Doctor Lin found out that the virus had not broken out and that there was a way to control it, and then slowly eradicate and condition it.
Therefore, the only ones who do the antidote now are Qiu Xiaobei, Lin Ziyi, and Lin Ziyi's little apprentice to fight. Judging from the current situation no one takes it seriously, when the virus breaks out, there will definitely be a lot of antidotes needed in the later stage, and they will have to exhaust them.
After burying his head for a while, Qiu Xiaobei straightened up and blew it on his back in pain.
She has been pregnant for nearly two months. Although she has not shown any sign of pregnancy, her physical strength has dropped significantly from before. She is prone to fatigue and her bones are prone to soreness.
Lin Ziyi just looked up and saw it. He got up and went to the inner hall. After a while, he came out and took two pillows in his hand. They were made of cotton cloth with cotton wool. Although it was simple, it was handmade and exquisite.
The two pillows were placed behind her for her to lean on, and the other was placed on her legs. The pillow was made very large and flat, so she placed a soft table on her legs. Lin Zi also placed a basket of medicinal materials on the pillow, so that she could lean on it. In addition to the final firing and other steps, picking medicinal materials, she could complete it with such a leaning on it, which would be much easier.
Qiu Xiaobei was a little moved, but it was so strange that she and Lin Ziyi said thank you, so she continued to whisper: "The sewing is really good. When you take out this craft, those embroiderers should be ashamed of themselves. Who will marry you in the future? Who will show this?"
"Talk well, how about you try again?" Lin Ziyi couldn't stand it and took out the knife that was picking the medicine.
"Zi Yi Ge Ge is shy."
With a "swish", the picking knife was inserted into the basket in front of her!
Qiu Xiaobei quickly zipped up the zipper on his closed lips. Every time she saw Lin Ziyi as serious as an old pedantic, she couldn't help but want to tease him.
After a while, she couldn't help but open her mouth again: "Ziyi Gege...No, Doctor Lin!"
Lin Ziyi took back the warning Yin Needle: "Say."
Qiu Xiaobei touched his nose and felt that Doctor Lin was so handsome that she made him arrogant: "We want to ask you about the youngest daughter of Duke Wei."
"What did she do?"
"I want to know, Your Highness, does the Crown Prince really have to marry her?"
She knew very well that this plague would definitely break out, and that the prince would return it to the best he suffered. Wei Qianjin was sick at this time, and at that time, he should be lively and the wedding would still be held.
Lin Zi looked at her in confusion.
Qiu Xiaobei touched his nose again: "Ms. Wei was pointed out to the prince by the emperor. I am worried that it would be the second concubine Zhou."
"The emperor and the prince are father and son. As fathers, they naturally think about their sons." Lin Ziyi answered in a normal manner, but after all, he still did not trust Qiu Xiaobei.
Qiu Xiaobei lowered his head and raked the herbs in the basket: "None of them are stupid people. Can you say something real?" He was wary of her and did not want to leave any words in her hands. She understood, "Doctor Lin, I am asking you very seriously, there are only two of us here."
My little apprentice also went out to the pharmacy to get medicine not long ago.
"What does it have to do with you whether the prince or not?"
"I..." Qiu Xiaobei paused, then raised his head, "I don't want the prince to marry her."
"Why?"
"...Because I'm afraid she will hurt the prince."
No, it's no woman, she doesn't want the prince to marry him.
"Eunuch Bei, I am really loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince."
At first glance, his serious and solemn face really couldn't tell that this sentence was mocking.
Qiu Xiaobei smiled and said, "As a slave, you must be loyal to your master." Her hand unconsciously pinched a stem and leaf, and cut it off with too much force.
Lin Ziyi did not continue to mock her. He fell silent. When Qiu Xiaobei thought he would still not tell her anything, he spoke slowly:
"In this palace, you can't just want it if you think it's bad. Yes, no matter I don't need to say, anyone can tell what the emperor is thinking about His Highness, and they also know that the lady from the Duke of Wei's mansion will enter the Eastern Palace, but so what?
Some time ago, you joined forces with Your Highness to depose the eldest prince half, the fourth prince was imprisoned, Concubine Zhou was deposed, the emperor had not visited her for several days, Concubine De was detained in the Buddhist temple and did not dare to show up. The most important thing is that the emperor's face was trampled on by you, the crisis of deposed His Highness was lifted, the East Palace was lifted, and the Prime Minister's lineage gained a lot. Do you think you won?"
He shook his head solemnly: "No, this is just the beginning. The more you get the benefits, the more difficult the situation will be. Everyone is staring at your little benefit. Those who are faced are resentful and resentful. Your Highness will not be able to refute the emperor's face at this time. He must make concessions." Those who want to take the benefits alone will not end up well. Instead of attacking them together, it is better to rely on their allies.
Even if an alliance will cause other troubles to oneself, for temporary harmony and for the lives of other people in the East Palace, this alliance must be formed.
This marriage must also be settled!
He looked at Qiu Xiaobei: "I don't know what you have. You can't even destroy Your Highness's wedding, do you understand?"
"not understand!"
Lin Ziyi looked at Eunuch Bei who suddenly lost his temper.
She threw away the basket in her arms and stood up "swishly". The pillow on her body fell to the ground. She ignored her and walked out with a cold face.
"Where are you going?" Lin Ziyi stood up and asked.
"go back!"
The entire palace was unable to get along with Fan Chenxi. Why did she work hard to make medicine for their life and death here? Even if someone was going to rob her, she could only watch and give in. Why, why, why!!
It would be best if everyone died!
Lin Ziyi just watched her leave. He looked more serious with his brows. He looked at the herbs and pillows all over the floor, and sighed softly. It turned out that the timid and afraid of trouble when he first saw her, had such a big temper. He looked more arrogant than the youngest daughter of the Wei family who was rumored to be, and did not look like a child from a poor family at all.
Oh yes, she once said that her father was an amazing doctor. Maybe, before entering the palace, she was also a child who was spoiled by her family?
Shaking his head, he walked over to pick up herbs on the ground with his fate. No matter what, he would ensure that His Highness's plan could be implemented smoothly, so this medicine is indispensable.
But as soon as he walked to where Qiu Xiaobei was sitting, the curtain separated from the outer hall was lifted. He turned his head and saw Qiu Xiaobei standing at the door.
Her face was still very smelly, tight and reluctant, but she walked towards him, squatted back and forth, picked up the pillow and put it back on the chair, then picked up the basket, and picked up the fragments of herbs one by one.
"Why are you back?" Lin Ziyi squatted down and helped her pick it up.
Qiu Xiaobei said depressedly: "Because, Your Highness needs it."
Because she could not fly away with Fan Chenxi, because her highness would continue to survive in this palace and continue to fight with all forces, she would have to help him.
So she had to bear it, so she turned back.
Lin Ziyi looked up at her.
The most rare thing is not that people without tempers do not accommodate you, but that they have a bad temper but are willing to endure everything for those who care about them.
Will such a person really be a detailed work?
He suddenly understood a little why His Highness liked such a little eunuch.
...
The Yipin Palace was very lively.
Yipin was nearly five months pregnant and looked a little pregnant, but she leaned on the soft cushion like seven or eight months old, holding a handkerchief, gently stroked her slightly raised belly one after another, and looked at the sisters in the palace who came to her palace to see her with a smile. They were all inferior to her or were of the same level as her but not as favored by her. They all came to please her.
Not only because she is pregnant with a dragon son, she can be further improved as long as she is successfully left, and she is full of honor and favor, but also because she is the Concubine Zhou. In this harem, she has no background or backing, either silent all her life or she is punished to death. There are so many women in the harem, and how many people can get pregnant and have successfully given birth to children.
If she hadn't seen the eyes of Concubine Zhou early and helped her do a lot of things that satisfy the other party, she wouldn't be able to raise her baby safely now. Of course, she also knew that Concubine Zhou would not really be nice to her, so she would have to give birth to the baby.
She looked at the hypocritical and flattering smiles in front of her, and there was a sarcastic smile on her lips.
At this time, the two palace maids came in with snacks. They were all loved by pregnant Yipin. After receiving the order from the imperial kitchen, they made it for her.
She waved her hand proudly to the sisters in the house: "Come and try it. This pastry is made by the imperial chef and tastes very good."
One of the women who were in the same position had a reluctance flashed in their eyes, but they smiled and praised: "That's right, only when you come to Sister Yi's side can you eat such delicious food. We don't have this blessing."
"Everyone is sister, don't be polite to me." Yipin smiled and let everyone take it upon themselves. Then she saw one of the palace maids who brought the pastry and stood at the table without moving. She blocked everyone like this. Which palace maid would be so rude that Yipin felt very embarrassed. She lowered her face and scolded, "Why are you standing here? Why don't you get out of here?"
Another palace maid rushed to pull the palace maid, but she couldn't pull it. She was anxious to try harder, but she didn't dare to think about how they would die when the concubine Yi got angry.
Just as she pulled hard, the palace maid finally moved. Or, the palace maid twitched without warning, and a large mouthful of white liquid spurted out of her mouth, sprayed on the plates of pastries. The yellow and white liquid, like foam, sprinkled on the pastries, and there were disgusting bubbles.
"Damn it!"
Yipin was so angry that she trembled. She slapped the table and stood up. She raised her other hand and was about to slap the palace maid.
With a crisp slap, the palace maid was beaten to the ground. If it weren't for the fetus in her stomach, Yipin would have wanted to come forward and kick it again.
The palace maids around her actually did such rude things. So many sisters in the palace were watching, and each was waiting to see her laugh. Who knew that no one else did anything, and his palace maids would embarrass her first.
In the deep courtyard of the palace, women who are more mentally retarded must have mental illness and have nowhere to vent. The unlucky one is the palace servant who serves them. She pointed to the palace maid who fell to the ground and did not move, and shouted to the other palace servants: "Drag her up for me and hold her a hundred mouths."
The palace maid went over and wanted to pull the palace maid up. Who knew that before he could touch it, the palace maid suddenly twitched, lying on the ground like an epilepsy, shaking and trembling, with a very large curve.
"Oh, this isn't something strange about me, right?"
Several concubines stood up and retreated away from the palace maid. A concubine covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "Is there any infectious disease recently? Is this not contagious?"
"Oh, it's so unlucky."
Concubine Yi was so angry that she trembled and forced someone to turn the palace maids over. After she really turned it over... even several palace maids were so scared that they retreated.
The palace maid had blue-black skin, her eyes were open, her eyes were rolling up, and her mouth was still showing white liquid, her limbs were curled up in cramps, and her blue-black skin also had black spots. When she looked closely, the spots seemed to have started to rot from inside.
It looked particularly scary, and Yipin herself was startled, her face turned pale, and her handkerchief also covered her mouth and wanted to spit it out. She reacted to her hands, covering her mouth for fear of running into something dirty, and shouted: "What are you doing while standing there, carry her away!"
"What's going on?" The concubine waved her handkerchief as if she wanted to swing away the unclean things in the air.
Yipin smiled awkwardly: "I guess I have some illness. What's wrong with the Internal Affairs Department? Everyone is sent to the palace," she stroked her stomach, "If the children in my belly have any problems, I will go to settle the score with them."
The other concubines also smiled awkwardly. When someone asked to say goodbye first, the others also said they would leave. In a short while, the originally lively room was only Yipin and the palace maids waiting next to them.
Yipin was so angry that he threw all the things he could get: "That bitch just now, I went to tear her mouth for me!"
"But Empress, she has already..."
"Huh?" Yipin glared viciously at the palace maid who wanted to ask for love. The palace maid was so scared that she shrank and did not dare to say anything else. She lowered her head and went out to give orders. She could only pray in her heart that her sisters could be lucky in the world of heaven.
