Seeing the capital city in front of her, Meng Fuying's eyes flickered slightly. After all, this was the first place she lived after coming to ancient times. Moreover, there were people who cared about her here, so naturally she had a lot of nostalgia, especially Yes to the Queen Mother.
Thinking of the Queen Mother, her eyes couldn't help but sink. Xuanyuan Ye was in a hurry along the way, and sometimes, anxiety flashed across her face, and she knew that the Queen Mother was really ill, so this time On the way, regardless of her fatigue, she was on the road all the time, and she didn't even get a good night's sleep.
Now that she is in the capital, she is so desperate to fly into the palace to see how the Queen Mother is doing?
Xuanyuan Ye was obviously also in a hurry, so he directly rode his horse into the city. Naturally, the guards at the city gate recognized him, so naturally they didn't dare to stop him. a road.
In the past, Xuanyuan Ye rarely galloped in the capital, but today is an exception.
Entering the imperial palace, Xuanyuan Ye directly brought Meng Fuying into the Empress Dowager's Heshou Palace.
Others don't recognize the present Meng Fuying, but they recognize Xuanyuan Ye. Therefore, naturally no one dared to stop.
At this moment, the emperor and concubine Rou are also in Heshou Palace.
Xuanyuanye just pulled Meng Fuying and walked in.
In the room, everyone looked over one after another.
The emperor Ye Rou also looked at Xuanyuan Ye one after another, and then turned to Meng Fuying who was being pulled by Xuanyuan Ye.
"Ye'er, who is this? Why did you bring him to Heshou Palace like this?" Concubine Rou was stunned for a moment, then said softly, her low voice was still gentle, but there was a bit of disapproval, Where is this Heshou Palace? How could it be possible for outsiders to come in casually.
"Now, your grandma is weak. If you are like this, you are not afraid of offending her old man." Concubine Rou was slightly startled when she looked at Xuanyuan Ye holding Meng Fuying's hand, and then said dissatisfied again.
"This is a genius doctor specially invited from Beiyuan Kingdom, and it's for the Empress Dowager." Xuanyuanye's eyes seemed to flicker slightly, but he quickly lowered them, and replied very respectfully.
Meng Fuying was also slightly taken aback, this Xuanyuan Ye really obeyed Concubine Rou's words, in front of Concubine Rou, she was so obedient, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really wouldn't believe it.
"Oh, this is the genius doctor of Beiyuan Country. I never thought that he would be so young. Well, well, he is really a formidable young man." When Concubine Rou looked at Meng Fuying again, she smiled softly in her eyes. And with unabashed admiration.
"Then quickly take it in and show it to the Queen Mother." After the compliment, he said hastily, and then signaled his servants to bring Meng Fuying in.
"Oh, he is the miracle doctor that has been rumored all over the world. Is he really that amazing?" But the corner of the emperor's brows was slightly frowned, obviously not convinced.
"My son, take her in." But Xuanyuanye didn't let go, and directly pulled Meng Fuying to the inner room.
Meng Fuying was startled secretly. Originally, she thought that the queen mother knew her real appearance. If she went in and the queen mother became happy and excited when she saw her, then Xuanyuan Ye's cunning would definitely confirm her. identity. But at this moment, she couldn't break free from him, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in with him. What's more, at this moment, she was also worried about the Queen Mother.
Concubine Rou was stunned again, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything, but walked into the Queen Mother's bedroom in front of Xuanyuan Ye.
As soon as he entered the room, he said with a gentle face, "Queen Mother, Ye'er specially invited a genius doctor from Beiyuan Country to treat you."
The queen mother had heard the voice outside a long time ago, but at this moment, after hearing her words, she was slightly taken aback, and the corners of her brows seemed to subconsciously twitch, then she turned her eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Ye and Meng Fu who had just walked in film.
When she saw Meng Fuying walking in, the Empress Dowager suddenly froze in her heart, isn't this Ying girl? She is clear about the true face of the shadow girl. Although she has not seen her true face for some time, she will never admit her mistake.
Ying girl, when did she become a genius doctor? However, whether she is a genius doctor or not, as long as her shadow girl comes back, it will be fine.
At this moment, her heart was overwhelmed with excitement and joy, but at this moment, she tried her best to conceal that excitement and joy, but said a little weakly, "I'm afraid even gods can't cure the disease of Aijia... "
When Meng Fuying saw the weak queen mother lying on the bed, her nose felt a little sore, and when she heard what the queen mother said, her heart ached even more.
It's just, but I feel faintly that it's not strange. Hasn't the Queen Mother seen her true face? Why didn't he recognize her?
Or, did she do it on purpose for some people to see?
When Xuanyuan Ye saw the calmness and helplessness in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, he was also taken aback for a moment, there was a bit of doubt in the depths of the eyes, and there was a little surprise.
The smile on the corner of Concubine Rou's lips seemed to be slightly stagnant, but then she said softly again, "Genius doctor, go and help the queen mother."
"En." Meng Fuying endured the urge to cry, and walked to the Empress Dowager's bed. In fact, she was not good at pulling out the pulse, so just looking at it this way, she couldn't tell what the Empress Dowager's illness was. At this moment, Because my heart was too heavy, I didn't even dare to ask some questions, for fear that I would cry when I opened my mouth.
But when her hand reached out to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager's hand held her instead, tightly and slightly trembling.
Meng Fuying was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood that Tai Hou really recognized her, but it was probably because she avoided certain people, so she deliberately pretended not to know her.
But, who is the Queen Mother avoiding? At this moment, there are only concubine Rou and Xuanyuan Ye in the room? Is it avoiding Concubine Rou, or Xuanyuan Ye?
"Hey, you all go out first, let the genius doctor take a closer look at Aijia." The queen mother sighed softly again, and then said again weakly.
Concubine Rou was taken aback again, her brows seemed to frowned slightly, but she responded very obediently, then slowly backed out, and when she walked to the door, she said to Xuanyuan Ye, "Ye'er, go out first ,Do not worry too much."
Xuanyuan Ye followed her out.
"Ying girl, you are finally back." After they all went out, the queen mother said in a low voice, and her spirit at the moment was much better.
"Grandma Huang." Meng Fuying couldn't hold back anymore, her nose sore, and tears flowed down smoothly.
"Silly girl, isn't grandma Huang all right? Once you come back, the emperor's illness will be cured." The queen mother patted her hand lightly, comforting her in a low voice, and there was a little more in her voice. Delighted, she felt much better when she saw Ying Yatou come back.
Meng Fuying was slightly stunned, and couldn't help feeling a little more guilty in her heart. Presumably, the Queen Mother must be very worried about her these days. She might not be able to get rid of her illness this time, so she whispered again, "Grandma Huang, I'm sorry, it's the shadow. It's not good, it's Yinger..."
"Okay, it's good to be back, it's good to be back, since I'm back, I can't go anymore, and stay with Grandma Huang. Ying girl is outside every day, Grandma Huang is worried that she can't eat or sleep." Queen Mother Taking this opportunity to say, the Empress Dowager deserves to be the Empress Dowager, who knows how to attack the heart best. At this time, Meng Fuying absolutely cannot refuse such a request and in such a tone.
Meng Fuying froze for a moment, then nodded, and said with certainty, "Well, Ying'er will not leave again, Ying'er is with Grandma Huang."
Even if she was recognized by Xuanyuan Ye immediately, even if she had to bear Xuanyuan Ye's anger, she would not be able to leave again.
"Well, that's good. Ye'er, don't worry, Grandma Huang will tell him. At most, he will be angry and won't really make things difficult for you." The Queen Mother also understood Meng Fuying's worry, so she He said again, "Grandma Huang, I promise not to let him hurt you."
Meng Fuying frowned slightly, hearing what the Queen Mother meant, did she want her to meet Xuanyuan Ye? So just now, did the Queen Mother avoid Concubine Rou?
It's just that she doesn't want to meet Xuanyuan Ye so soon. Although she knows, he will know sooner or later, but if it can be delayed for a while, it will be a while. What's more, she thinks, if she really meets Xuanyuan Ye In other words, it is also according to the original appearance of Meng Fuying, not the current appearance.
After all, at this moment, she didn't admit it, and to admit it in this way is an obvious deception, not to mention, she doesn't want other people to know her true appearance.
She felt more and more that there were too many dangers in this palace, it was better to be careful. Even the shrewd Empress Dowager is cautious in everything she does, let alone her.
"Queen Mother, I don't want to meet him so soon, and I want to return to my original appearance and still appear in front of everyone." Meng Fuying thought for a while, then whispered.
"Well, that's fine." This time, the queen mother replied without the slightest hesitation. In fact, she didn't want the shadow girl to show her true colors now. She also had a lot of worries in her heart. Not too sure though.
"It's just that, according to Ye'er's intelligence, I'm afraid you won't be able to delay it for long." When the queen mother mentioned Xuanyuan Ye, a smile quickly appeared in her eyes. Regarding Ye'er, she absolutely believed in his ability.
She hoped that the two of them could meet soon, so that she could feel more at ease.
How could Meng Fuying not understand what the Empress Dowager meant, and suddenly felt that she was following the Empress Dowager's way again, but no matter what, it was impossible for her to leave at this time.
The Queen Mother was right. Although Xuanyuanye didn't seem to be as sure of her identity as before after discovering her fake Adam's apple that morning, she believed that with Xuanyuanye's ability, she would be able to see through her identity soon.
So, she can't wait for him to find out her identity. Before that, she must return to her original appearance and appear in front of Xuanyuan Ye in her original appearance. Appear in front of everyone.
She felt that the Empress Dowager also supported her approach, and she became more and more sure that the Empress Dowager must know something in her heart, and that matter must be related to her, and it should be detrimental to her.
Now, the most important thing is the Empress Dowager's illness, so she must first treat the Empress Dowager's illness in her current capacity.
Next, Meng Fuying discussed with the imperial physician who examined the Queen Mother earlier. After all, she didn't know much about pulling out the pulse, and now she didn't have modern advanced technology, so she couldn't find out what was going on. However, this ancient imperial physician However, he is very proficient in things like pulling out the pulse, so Meng Fuying asked them for advice very humbly.
After a day of discussion, Meng Fuying finally prescribed a prescription for the Empress Dowager's illness. As long as she recuperates slowly, although the root cause of the disease cannot be completely eradicated, there is no problem in living for a few years. After all, the Empress Dowager is indeed old.
After the Queen Mother took the medicine, her complexion became much better. Of course, more than half of the reason was because seeing Meng Fuying came back, she felt relaxed and happy, and her spirit naturally recovered.
Meng Fuying will be in Heshou Palace during the day, and at night, stay in a room specially opened for her in the Imperial Medical Hall.
Because the Empress Dowager's illness has obviously improved, those imperial physicians also admire and respect her very much, and are very obedient to her words.
However, Meng Fuying always felt that a pair of eyes seemed to be watching her from the dark all the time. It was an extremely dangerous surveillance. I don't know who it was?
Since Xuanyuan Ye returned to the palace, his face has regained his previous cold look, and he no longer has the naughty and joking look on the road when talking to her from time to time.
In the past few days, Xuanyuan Ye came to Heshou Palace every day, but he didn't talk much, he just watched Meng Fuying busy, and there was a faint thought in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After all, since he discovered Meng Fuying's fake Adam's apple that morning, he has been unable to solve this problem in his heart. Su Feng has returned, but Liu Yue has not returned, because he was injured in the fight with the prince's men. Injury, so I went back to Cheetah to recuperate.
He specifically asked Hayakaze to ask Liuyue, is it possible to make the fake Adam's apple exactly like the real one?
Liu Yue's answer is that it is impossible. He has absolutely believed in Liuyue's disguise technique, and it is definitely one of the best in Jianghu. Even Liuyue said it was impossible, so...
And when he came back last time, the Queen Mother's expression made him extremely disappointed. He originally thought that the Queen Mother knew her real appearance and would be delighted to see her, but the Queen Mother didn't react at all. , Even in the past few days, she couldn't find much strangeness in getting along with the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, your complexion is really much better. The genius doctor is worthy of being a genius doctor. He really has the ability to rejuvenate." When Concubine Rou came to pay her respects to the Queen Mother today, she said with a happy face, and even praised Meng Fuying. .
"Yes, this time it's really thanks to the genius doctor, I want to reward the genius doctor properly." The emperor was also extremely happy, and when he looked at Meng Fuying, he also had an expression of admiration.
Xuanyuanye, who was sitting on the side, didn't make a sound, but slowly sipped the tea in his hand once in a while, just like when Meng Fuying saw him for the first time.
"Your Majesty, how do you want to reward him?" Concubine Rou looked at the Emperor with a chuckle, and asked casually.
The emperor was slightly startled, and seemed to be stunned for a moment, looked at Meng Fuying again, and asked, "What does the genius doctor want?"
Your majesty, you respect her, and ask her what she wants?
"According to my concubine's opinion, it's best to keep the genius doctor in the Xuanyuan Dynasty, so it's better to give the genius doctor a title." The corners of Concubine Rou's eyes slightly curled up, and her smile became more gentle, but her words were The people present were stunned for a moment.
Even Xuanyuan Ye's hand holding the cup tightened slightly.
Meng Fuying's brows were also slightly frowned, and she didn't quite understand whether this Concubine Rou was really too simple, or was she hiding too deeply, could this title be given casually?
Even her father, after years of hard work and many **** battles, was granted the title of Marquis a few years ago.
"Can this title be sealed casually?" The Queen Mother's face also sank slightly, and there was a little more anger in her usually loving voice at this moment. It would be troublesome if she gave Yingyue a title, and if she went back to the palace with Ye'er. Moreover, the shadow girl is now a woman disguised as a man, and if she fails to do so, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Is this soft concubine innocent? Still stupid? Or?
Concubine Rou was stunned for a moment, her body seemed to shrink back slightly, then she seemed a little scared, and said cautiously, "It's the concubine who didn't think carefully. Don't be angry, Queen Mother, and don't ruin your body by anger."
There is also a bit of obvious annoyance and guilt in the voice.
"Queen mother, forget it, she has such a temperament that speaks without heart, so don't bother with her." Although the emperor also had a bit of dissatisfaction on his face, he still pleaded for Concubine Rou.
"Okay, Aijia is tired, you all go down, let Aijia rest, rest." The Queen Mother waved her hand slightly, signaling them to leave.
The emperor helped Concubine Rou, took her out, but Xuanyuan Ye didn't leave, he was still sitting there, his eyes were watching Concubine Rou's leaving back, it seemed that he had to speed up , if it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be branches everywhere.
It wasn't until Concubine Rou and the emperor had completely disappeared that he slowly turned his eyes back to look at Meng Fuying, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and suddenly he said word by word, "My father just mentioned rewards, It was really my negligence. The miraculous doctor was invited by this king. If you want to talk about rewards, it is also from this king. There is a natural hot spring in Aolin Villa. I heard that the water in the hot spring is very good for people. Please ask the divine doctor to soak with this king to thank the divine doctor for curing the queen mother, and the divine doctor can also study the water by the way."
His face was still as cold as before, and his voice was as cold as usual, without too much ups and downs, but his hand holding the cup froze slightly.
This is the most direct test. He believes that with this method, he will be able to find out whether it is her or not.
It's just that, at this moment, he was a little nervous instead, as if he was a little afraid that it might not be her. After all, too many things before had denied his conviction one by one.
Although he always believed in his feelings, he couldn't ignore these iron-like evidences.
Meng Fuying was stunned, the thing in her hand almost fell to the ground?
Ask her to take a bath! Thank her. So ask her to take a bath, and go with him.
Is he thanking her? He was clearly testing and teasing her.
She knows that it is impossible not to agree, and if you don't agree, it proves that you have a guilty conscience.
But if she really went to take a bath with him, wouldn't all her pretense be in vain?
You have to take off your clothes when you go to take a bath. After taking off her clothes, won't all her disguise be exposed?
Okay, Xuanyuan Ye, I count you as cruel.
The corners of the Queen Mother's lips also twitched slightly. It seemed that Ye'er finally couldn't wait any longer, but she never thought that Ye'er would come up with such an idea.
This time, let's see how Yingying can keep her secret.
Looking slowly at Meng Fuying, she saw Meng Fuying nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "Then thank you, my lord, for your grand invitation?"
Xuanyuanye didn't seem to have expected that she would agree so readily, a flash of surprise quickly flashed deep in his eyes, and the tension in his heart became more and more obvious, but he still said in a deep voice, "Okay, the king will come tomorrow pick you up."
No matter what, he can't back down. Whether it is true or not, he has to prove it himself and make the final decision.
"Girl, do you really want to take a bath with him?" After Xuanyuan Ye left, the Queen Mother couldn't help asking in a low voice, with a strange chuckle on her lips.
"Yes." Meng Fuying glared at the Queen Mother with some annoyance, how could she not know what the Queen Mother was thinking. There are so many new year concubines, but...
"Hehe..." The queen mother chuckled disapprovingly, "As long as the shadow girl is not afraid, the Ai family is looking forward to it."
Uh, Meng Fuying was stunned. When she saw the empress dowager's ambiguous smile, she felt even more depressed. Of course she was looking forward to it, but she couldn't help but tie her and Xuanyuan Ye together.
Naturally, it is impossible for her to take a bath with Xuanyuan Ye, unless she is crazy.
She originally planned to return to her original appearance and appear in front of everyone in the next few days.
The voice-changing medicine she had taken before has not been taken, and her voice has gradually returned to its original voice these days, so she rarely speaks these two days, and even when she speaks, she deliberately suppresses it. When she just answered Xuanyuan Ye's words, she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to understand.
It's just that Xuanyuan Ye seemed a little absent-minded and didn't notice it.
She knows that she wants to appear in front of everyone with her original appearance, but it is impossible for her current identity to disappear suddenly, because the Queen Mother's illness has not completely recovered, and everyone, including the emperor, cannot Maybe at this time, let the 'miracle doctor' leave.
Moreover, if the genius doctor left suddenly, and she appeared at this time, it would definitely arouse suspicion from others, especially some caring people.
In the past two days, she felt that the person who was spying on her seemed to be watching her more closely.
So, in the past few days, she asked Qingzhu to find someone who knows how to change faces, and made a mask that was exactly the same as her current appearance, and planned to change Qingzhu into her current identity when she appeared in her original identity. look.
Qingzhu was originally a person close to the Empress Dowager, so in the past few days, the Empress Dowager recruited her into the palace, and no one suspected anything.
Qingzhu has always been calm, knows martial arts, and is familiar with her. These days, she has also imitated her appearance as a genius doctor, so there should be no flaws. Moreover, according to Qingzhu's martial arts, maybe she can find out the Someone who spies on her.
the next day.
Meng Fuying arranged everything early in the morning. She returned to the original Meng Fuying's appearance, still on the face, painted a layer of black, put on women's clothes, and stood quietly by the Queen Mother's side.
And Qingzhu pretended to be her miraculous doctor, pretending to be examining the Queen Mother. It has to be said that Qingzhu imitated it very much, and Qingzhu's height was about the same as hers, and even she couldn't see any flaws.
"King Yi is here." At this moment, the eunuch's shrill voice suddenly came. Xuanyuan Ye kept his word, and really came to pick her up to take a bath together.
Although everything was well prepared, even though he had already been mentally prepared, when he heard the voice of the eunuch, his body still froze slightly, and when he saw Xuanyuan Ye who quickly appeared in front of the door, his hands tightened slightly After a while, I suddenly felt a little sweat oozing from the palm of my hand.
She doesn't know, how will Xuanyuan Ye treat her next? Thinking of what he said in a daze that time, he felt a little more nervous. And that time, Xuanyuanye only suspected her.
Now that she has returned with her original appearance, he is afraid...
However, the Empress Dowager said that she would never allow Xuanyuan Ye to act recklessly. If Xuanyuan Ye went too far, the Empress Dowager said that she would stop her. However, Meng Fuying felt that what the Empress Dowager said did not have much persuasive force.
Can others stop what Xuanyuan Ye is going to do?
However, what should come will always come, and now there is no way to avoid it, but to face it.
When Xuanyuanye saw her, his body froze suddenly, and his footsteps also stopped suddenly, standing straight outside the door, but his eyes were staring at her tightly.
Just staring at her so closely, neither speaking nor making any movement, for a moment, the whole hall fell silent, so quiet that it was breathless.
Long, long silence.
"Ye'er, you came just in time, the shadow girl is back." The queen mother finally couldn't help it, and said, but, looking at Xuanyuan Ye, her heart was a little beating. What will Ye'er do next? After all, no one would be able to calmly deal with Ying girl's escape from marriage.
Xuanyuanye finally stepped forward again, stepped into the threshold, walked slowly in, and approached Meng Fuying step by step, his eyes were still tightly locked on Meng Fuying.
