"Miss, what are you looking at?" When Ah Yu came out from her room with the medicine, looking at Luo Shang who was looking at the exit of the Zi Jin Pavilion, she thought that Ma Gu was here again, but when she followed her gaze, seeing that there was no one else, Ah Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine." Luo Shang said lightly.
"It's good that you're fine. servant thought it was Ma Saniang and the others who came again." Ah Yu said as he took Luo Shang's slender jade fingers and supported her to sit at a table. He poured some white medicine onto his palm and gently spread it over her.
Early summer, as long as it was not rainy days and nights, the wind was basically warm, soft to the point of making people feel comfortable. The courtyard was very clean. The leaves that littered the ground yesterday had already been swept clean by Ah Yu.
When they just entered the palace, Luo Shang had Ah Yu flip through the soil of the desolated garden. At that time, the cherry blossom seed had already sprouted and sprouted. Presumably, before long, it would grow taller, grow bigger bit by bit, and blossom.
Luo Shang really liked the cherry blossoms. Whether it was the pink petals or the light, elegant scent, they all made her feel close and familiar, as if she had loved them for a very long time, maybe even more than ten years.
This feeling seemed to be able to help her find traces of her amnesia.
"Miss … I'm back! "Zhuo Jin gasped for breath all along the way. She hugged the bulging clothes in her arms and skipped along the way.
Ah Yu saw that her arms were wrapped with items. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that some of them were old and worn out cloth brocades. She walked over and said, "Didn't you go to pick up some dewdrops?
Zhuo Jin's face revealed a joyous smile. With a grin, she hugged the heavy object in her embrace, and carefully held it as if it were a treasure. She glanced at Ah Yu and pouted.
"Sister Ah Yu, you should not know about this, these are all miraculous pills and medicines." She raised her head up as she walked towards Luo Shang, placing the heavy, cloth wrapped package on the stone table. Then, she impatiently unwrapped it.
After layer after layer of fabric was removed, the apples that were laid out on the table were round and plump. Although each of them were slightly green, they were still very attractive. Next to the apple, there were many sweet potatoes, bamboo shoots and lotus roots. He didn't know how this girl had gotten her hands on these things.
"You … Where did you get it? Didn't they find you? " When Ah Yu saw these things, she was a little shocked. Every single place in the Duke Palaces had servants guarding it, and there were no one by the side of the Lotus Pond in the morning. However, how did she manage to get the sweet potato and bamboo shoot? The entrance to the bamboo forest was guarded by someone sooner or later.
"Of course they didn't discover me. With how tightly wrapped I am, how could I let them discover me?" Zhuo Jin was very pleased, the bamboo shoot was a great supplement, this time the young miss could improve on her meal. This time, she brought back delicious food and saw how Big Sister Ah Yu still talked about her. She kept saying that she had achieved nothing and she also did something to make him satisfied.
Luo Shang laughed helplessly, this girl, seeing her dirty clothes, with a cut on her knees and neck, had a long red mark, although it was red, although it was not bleeding, Luo Shang immediately asked: "How did you get hurt on your neck?"
Zhuo Jin swallowed her saliva, then shook her head and blinked her eyes, and laughed: "When I left the house this morning, it was too hasty, it slipped and broke my neck, hehe, it's fine, Miss, I didn't feel any pain."
Early this morning, she had finished collecting the dew and was about to return when she passed by the lush bamboo forest. There was a small dog hole in the lush forest, and since she was small, it would be very easy for her to get through it. In any case, for the sake of the young mistress, he had to go all out.
However, she didn't dare to say it now. If he said he drilled the dog hole and got injured for the sake of Miss Yi's better appetite, Miss Yi would definitely blame herself.
Luo Shang was skeptical and did not say anything else.
"But it's really strange today. There are quite a few teachers who have come to the palace. They are also wearing official uniform and carrying medicine boxes. They should be the imperial physicians of the capital." Along the way back, Zhuo Jin saw many maidservant s hurriedly walking towards the south. Ma Gu had brought about ten imperial doctors with her, but they were just too far away, she did not notice Ma Gu's expression, but she could guess that they were walking very fast, and must be very anxious.
"Oh …" Oh right, I heard from the doorman's servant that something … "What people from the Southern Xiang Academy?"
Hearing Zhuo Jin talk about the Southern Xiang Academy, Ah Yu felt that it sounded familiar. Southern Xiang Academy? Isn't that where the County Princess Chaoyang lives?
He remembered that a few days ago when the County Princess Chaoyang came to visit the Young Miss, he said before he left that he would temporarily stay at the Southern Xiang Academy. Moreover, after the King Jin had gone to the capital, he did not come back to the Duke Palaces again for the next few days.
"Miss, you can't go!" Seeing Luo Shang get up, Ah Yu could guess with a glance that her young miss, the Bodhisattva, was squirming again. It must be because she wanted to go to the South River Academy.
"County Princess Chaoyang has done me a favour. Now that the imperial doctors are here, I'm afraid that her illness is severe. If I don't go, wouldn't that mean that I am being ungrateful?" That day, when County Princess Chaoyang came to visit, she did not want to get too close with her. After all, she was Leng Shaoyu's younger sister. However, from her expression and footsteps, it was not difficult for Luo Shang to see that this princess' body was weak and many times sickly. The poison in her body had probably accumulated for a long time, causing her to still appear haggard under her makeup.
Hearing her tone, with every word that she said, Luo Shang felt that this princess seemed to have accumulated the same sort of sorrow as her, and the vicissitudes of life that she had experienced were not less than her.
"Miss, she's a princess and there are so many imperial physicians present. You won't be able to resolve anything even if you go. Besides, even if you go, you won't be able to pass through the gate of the Southern Xiang Academy." Do you think Ma Gu will let you enter? Instead, she will force you to commit a crime, Miss … " Ah Yu immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Ah Yu was not a person who did not know how to be grateful. However, she was too worried about Luo Shang's safety, afraid that she would get hurt again. It wasn't easy for Ma Gu to relax and make things difficult for her. Why was there a need for this!?
"Ah Yu, don't talk about it anymore. No matter if I can enter the South Sea Courtyard or not, I will still go."
"Miss! "You …" Even if Ah Yu wanted to, he wouldn't be able to stop her. She quickly turned around and said to Zhuo Jin who was beside her: "Stay here honestly."
After saying that, he hurriedly followed her out.
"Why am I staying here again? I want to be with Miss. I'm also worried about Miss." Zhuo Jin pouted, she sat down and picked up the apple on the table, and without washing up, she started to bite off the apple.
"Aiyo!" Pah pah pah! "It's so sour, what rotten fruit." Zhuo Jin spat out all one mouthful.
On the way out of the Purple Gold Pavilion, Luo Shang stealthily followed the maidservant s in the direction they had walked in.
She had originally thought that the place the County Princess Chaoyang lived in would surely be extremely luxurious, but she didn't expect it to be so light and elegant. The walls of the South Tang Courtyard were merely the walls of ordinary commoners. The lush and verdant leaves and stems of the mountain climbing tigers extended from the inside of the walls all the way to the outside, and only a few extremely ordinary lilacs were planted in the corners. It hung high above the door of the Southern Xiang Academy, and the ordinary signboard didn't have the slightest embellishment.
Servants, servants, and imperial physicians came and went without end.
"Princess? Why are you here? "
Yun Xiu was currently bringing a new batch of imperial doctors over, and just as they arrived at the entrance of the South River Academy, they saw Luo Shang standing there. Seeing that Luo Shang did not say anything, she quickly cut him off and snorted: "Could it be that wangfei is here to watch the show?"
Yun Xiu was originally going to continue speaking when she saw the two girls carrying a water basin over. The water inside was already dyed red with blood, and even the handkerchief in her hand was red, just that the blood was a little black.
"Hmph." Yun Xiu glared at Luo Shang and snorted coldly, before walking into the South River Courtyard with the air of an imperial physician. Just as she entered the courtyard, she saw a large group of imperial doctors kneeling in the courtyard.
"You bunch of quack doctors, if you can't cure the princess, the prince will take your heads!" Ma Gu was infuriated.
Dozens of imperial physicians kneeling on the ground kept their heads down, their bodies shivering. In the middle of the crowd, an imperial physician, who was in his middle years, could be heard trembling with both hands and teeth. His forehead was covered in cold sweat as he said, "Aunt Ma Gu, Princess' illness is really abnormal.
"Not yet qualified? If we can't save the princess, you will all die with us. " Mo Yun, who was standing in front of them, frowned, his expression tensed up, his hands clenched tightly as he watched the door close up.
These words made the imperial physicians tremble with fear.
"Auntie, the empress dowager has sent all the imperial physicians over. This is the last batch." Yun Xiu pointed to the imperial doctors behind him and said.
Ma Saniang took a deep breath and kicked away the imperial physicians who were kneeling in front of him. She walked towards Yun Xiu and spoke to the imperial physicians behind him: "You guys, you must treat the princess properly.
Ma Saniang pointed to the group of imperial doctors on the ground.
The imperial physicians behind Yun Xiu gulped down their saliva and nodded obediently. This subject will definitely spare no effort in treating the princess. "
"Then what are you still waiting for? Why aren't you entering!" It had been almost three days since the prince left the palace, and he had handed the entire palace over to her. Unexpectedly, the princess's old illness had suddenly flared up, and it was even more powerful than the previous times, causing the medicine to no longer work. Although this princess was not the prince's biological sister, the duke had shown her kindness. If the princess had any problems, the prince would definitely be furious, and Ma Gu didn't dare to even think about what she would do then.
When the King heard about the change in the capital, he sent Mo Yun back.
"Aunt, the wangfei is outside," Yun Xiu walked forward and whispered into Ma Gu's ear.
Ma Gu frowned. "What is she doing here?"
Yun Xiu coughed lightly, purposely curled her lips and said in a flattering manner: "Since the wangfei is here, there must be something wrong, should we …"
"We'll talk about it after dealing with the princess." Ma Gu waved her hand. The princess' life and death was uncertain, so how could she have the mind to make things difficult for Luo Shang? She could only hope for the princess to wake up quickly.
"But …" Yun Xiu had originally wanted to take this opportunity to properly discipline Luo Shang.
Ma Saniang who was beside him roared angrily: "Didn't you hear what I said?"
"Yes …" Yun Xiu was so angry that her teeth were itching, and her eyes swept past the Nan Xiang Academy's entrance. "Damn Luo Shang, there will be a day when she wants that woman to land in her, Yun Xiu's, hands."
An hour passed, and the door opened. A dozen imperial physicians used their sleeves to wipe the sweat from their foreheads and walked out.
"How is she?" Mo Yun hurriedly walked over with a frown. His complexion was very bad, if the princess were to leave just like that, he would never forgive himself in his life.
The imperial physicians were all frightened out of their wits. They looked at each other and shook their heads.
Mo Yun held his breath, without any hesitation he pulled out the sword from his waist and aimed at the imperial physician's neck.
"Please spare my life Lord Mo, please spare my life Lord Mo, this official is too powerless to save the princess. Please spare my life on account of the fact that I still have a family of elders and children, spare me!" the imperial physician begged again and again at Mo Yun's feet.
"This subject is truly incompetent. Only when Hua Tuo reappears will he be able to save the princess."
"Please spare my life, milord."
The courtyard was filled with cries and pleas for mercy. The empress dowager's personal imperial physician had been transferred to South Stream Temple a few days ago to treat the King Hanchao. It would take at least two or three days before he could return, and by then, the princess would already …
Mo Yun did not dare to continue thinking about it. Clenching his fists, Ma Gu rubbed his hands together, at a loss of what to do.
At this time, a maidservant came running in with a basin of clear water. Aunt, Aunt, said the Princess, she wants to see you. "
