Chapter 242： cough

Chang Xiu didn't understand why Yingbao wanted to catch the hedgehog, but he still found a branch and ran over, tapping the hedgehog's back lightly. The fleeing hedgehog froze and immediately formed a ball.

Ying Bao squatted on the ground and looked at the ball of thorns, unable to do anything.

"Little doctor, you wait, I will pull a piece of grass to tie it up." Chang Xiu said and ran to the grass to look for grass stems.

After a while she ran back, holding a large handful of long, thin grass in her hand. She quickly wove a net bag and directly put the hedgehog into the grass net bag with a tree stick and picked it up. "Can we go back?"

Yingbao nodded: "Let's go! Go back."

The two returned to the compartment where they lived. Ying Bao put the hedgehog into a bamboo basket, and Chang Xiu also went to the lake to pick some lotus leaves and put them under the basket.

Having nothing to do this day, Ying Bao saw Xiao Chengjun coming over again, so she sat at the door of the hall and told the stories of ghosts in the middle of the night to the doorkeepers.

"Once upon a time, there was a scholar who was rushing to take exams and stayed in an inn. He always heard someone coughing under his window at night. He thought it was the innkeeper and didn't pay attention. But for two days in a row, there were people coughing under the window. He was curious, so he pushed away A look through the window..."

The two chamberlains listened with interest, stretched their necks and asked, "What did you see?"

Ying Bao took a sip of almond tea and caught a glimpse of Xiao Chengjun standing not far away. She put down the tea cup in her hand, used her two small hands to pull her eyelids, rolled her eyes, stuck out her tongue, and made a strange sound: "Just I saw a hanged man outside the window with his long tongue hanging out. He whined and rushed towards him. Give me my life...Give me my life..."

The two chamberlains were startled, and then laughed and said, "Hey, young doctor, please don't scare us."

Ying Bao took another sip of the almond tea and said, "What are you afraid of? It's broad daylight and the Hanged Ghosts won't come out. Only at night... hey, they come out to kill people."

The two chamberlains looked at each other and shuddered.

Yingbao turned around and saw Xiao Chengjun walking into the inner hall.

Another day later, the Queen came to the East Palace in person to visit her grown son.

"My son has gained some weight." Empress Xiao took Murong Xian's hand and looked him up and down.

Today, Murong Xian has not only gained some weight, but also looks much better than before.

Murong Xian smiled and said, "That's right. Ying Bao asked me to eat five meals a day, so the child will naturally gain weight."

The queen looked around and asked, "Why didn't you see Mr. Yingbao? And that little girl named Chen Tiantian?"

"Yingbao probably went to the orchard." Murong Xian said: "That palace maid, I asked her to learn the rules from the nanny."

The queen said "oh" and talked to her son for a while, then ordered someone to call Rong into the main hall.

At this time, Mrs. Rong and a group of palace servants were waiting for orders outside the main hall. When they heard the summons, they quickly walked into the palace and saluted: "Mr. Rong has seen the Queen. May your Majesty be safe."

The queen smiled and waved her hand, asking her to sit down and talk.

Rong thanked the queen and sat down on a small stool beside her.

Queen: "I have no time these days, so I need you to take care of the king."

"What did the empress say? Taking care of the king is what a slave should do." Rong replied respectfully.

Now that the king is still underage and has been ill for a long time, the Rong family is in charge of the daily affairs in the palace, except for the officials in charge.

She is responsible for the king's food, clothing, shoes and socks, as well as the daily affairs and dispatch of the palace people.

But the reception of foreign guests and external matters, and the arrangement of various greetings and greetings, etc., are done by the palace officials.

The queen said a few words of encouragement and asked someone to bring some pieces of silk and satin and give them to the Rong family.

Several officials from the palace were then called, and each of them was rewarded with cloth and property.

When Ying Bao rushed back to see the Queen, she saw the Queen holding Chen Tiantian's hand and talking.

"He is indeed a blessed child." The queen smiled and said: "From now on, you will work well in the Qing Palace, and I will definitely not treat you badly."

“Yes.” Chen Tiantian curtsied.

Ying Bao glanced at the Queen and Chen Tiantian, and she could already understand what was going on.

Perhaps the queen regarded Chen Tiantian as her son's mascot. The queen saw Ying Bao and waved her over.

Then he also rewarded her with several bolts of silk and asked her to get along well with Chen Tiantian, saying that after all, they were fellow students and sisters, and they should love each other.

Hearing this, the veins in Ying Bao’s forehead jumped.

He turned around and saw Xiao Chengjun standing aside, looking at him with an unkind expression.

Half an hour later, the queen finally left, and Ying Bao let out a breath.

Go back to the compartment, throw some fruits to the little hedgehog, and think about it in your mind.

Now that the current king has improved, there is no need for her to stay here, so she must go home.

But how can we get the queen to let him go?

Otherwise, just confess to the king directly. As long as he is willing to let her go, even the queen may not be able to say anything.

At night, Yingbao took out a piece of honey from the cave and fed it to the hedgehog.

Watching it finish the honey, Yingbao picked up the basket containing the hedgehog, quietly slipped out and came to the window where Xiao Chengjun lived.

After releasing the hedgehog and driving it into the gaps between the flowerpots under the window, Yingbao slipped back into his own cubicle.

Climb into bed, close your eyes and sleep.

At midnight, I was suddenly awakened by a noise.

Yingbao turned over and continued to sleep.

After sleeping until the next morning, Chang Xiu walked in and quietly said to Ying Bao: "Last night Mr. Xiao was frightened and he called a dozen servants to patrol around the house all night."

Yingbao put on her clothes and asked without raising her head: "Why?"

“It is said that there are always people coughing outside the window in the middle of the night, and no one can be found when they go out, which scares Mr. Xiao.”

Chang Xiu said and chuckled: "So Mr. Xiao asked a dozen of his servants to stay outside until dawn."

Ying Bao secretly sneered: "Coward!"

After breakfast, she ran to Xiao Chengjun's window sill. Seeing no one around, she quickly found the hedgehog between several flower pots, put it in a basket and brought it back.

Meeted several chamberlains on the road and greeted her: "What are you doing here, young gentleman?"

“The hedgehog ran away, I’ll catch it back.” Ying Bao shook the basket in her hand.

Back in his own cubicle, Yingbao threw a few grapes to the hedgehog to observe its behavior.

The hedgehog quickly ate a few grapes, then curled up motionless. After a while, he occasionally coughed, which was no different from a human cough.

Yingbao smiled evilly, found something to cover on the bamboo basket, and ran to find King Dai.

At this time, Murong Xian was walking around in the hall, exercising his legs and feet.

Seeing Ying Bao coming in with a smile on his face, he asked, "What are you so happy about?"

Ying Bao: "I'm so happy for you that you're back to normal so quickly. Come and sit down, and I'll take your pulse again."

Murong Xian sat down at the table as instructed and stretched out his arms.

Yingbao checked his pulse and said seriously: "Your Highness, you are already well. You can just let the imperial doctor take care of you from now on. I want to go home, okay?"

Murong Xian was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes, and said after a while: "Okay, when you want to go back, I will send someone to see you off."

Yingbao thought for a while: "In three days."

She was going to prepare some medicine to keep, and she wanted to see how Xiao Chengjun was **** off.
