What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 176
The night encompasses everything in the deep palace.

The first ray of morning light shone on the bright red glazed tiles, and the harem returned to its former tranquility.

Madam Cheng was considerate and thoughtful and brought hot water.

"Your Majesty, it's time to wake up. How do you feel about being alone with the general last night?"

The queen clutched her head in severe pain, got up from the bed, frowned and shook her head.

"I don't remember anything, what did Mammy see?"

"When the maidservant entered, the maiden's clothes were all on the floor, and even the hairpin on her head was gone. The general must have been reluctant to part with the maiden, so he pulled out the hairpin as a souvenir."

The queen shook her head.

"Can't remember anything, I regret drinking so much last night, next time I must prepare some other wine"

Mother Cheng smiled and said yes, and quietly brought a bowl of Bizi soup.

"My servant found the best medicine, drink it only once, it's gentle and won't hurt your body, so please drink it quickly."

The queen picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, leaning on the bed with the pillow in her arms, her eyes blurred.

"I don't know how he treated me last night, how is it compared to the emperor?"

"The empress has no bruises on her body, which shows that the general is gentle and considerate"

The queen paid attention to feeling, and sure enough there was no soreness or bruise, except for the messy clothes.

"Sure enough, there is a tiger in my heart, and I sniff the rose carefully"

"Your Majesty, the general is considerate, and you have a king like the emperor as your husband, you can be said to be the happiest woman in the world." Madam Cheng flattered wildly.

The queen was bubbling with happiness.

As a woman, what more can a husband ask for?

Xinfeng Court

Lin Zhengxiao has been recuperating quietly since she moved here, with two young eunuchs taking care of her roughly.

Qiu Yuanjuan's little drug boy would come to change the medicine every two days.

The dining room will also deliver the meals on time.

There are no good dishes, only green vegetables, tofu, eggs, and white rice. This is what the servants of the palace eat.

Lin Zhengxiao wasn't picky either, and ate cleanly every day, sending away the bowls and chopsticks respectfully.

In his spare time, he would use his uninjured right hand to draw his marksmanship. He had never learned how to draw, so he could only draw a simple move.

In June, the weather became hotter, pus and blood flowed out of the intestinal hose every day, and pus also appeared in the wound.

Qiu Yuan sentenced him to drain the pus and blood, and told him.

"Ice cubes should be applied to the wound every day, and the food should be light, and you must not overeat."

Lin Zhengxiao wrote down one by one.

But from that day on, there were no more vegetables and tofu in his meals, and he was full of chicken, duck and fish every day.

And even the usual ice cubes disappeared.

Xiao Lianzi felt aggrieved and said that it was the Shang Palace Bureau who said that the ice cubes were in a hurry, and the masters didn't have enough, so of course we couldn't supply them here.

Xiao Guizi cried out loudly: "The people in the dining room said it was the empress's intention. It's hot and everyone's appetite is bad, so they specially allocated money to let us eat better and recover from our injuries."

This is clearly intentional.

Lin Zhengxiao looked at the two of them and asked for a while.

"Yesterday, Qiu Yuan came to diagnose and treat him. Apart from you two, there should be no one there, right?"

The two young eunuchs knelt down in a panic.

Lin Zhengxiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"I didn't say anything about you? You are all sent by my sister. If I don't believe you, who do you believe?"

Only then did Xiao Lianzi let go of his smile.

"That's it, son. We took Lin Guiren's money, so it's easy to do things. Don't worry about our news, it will never spread."

Xiao Guizi seemed to have a guilty conscience, and did not speak from the beginning to the end.

Lin Zhengxiao smiled even brighter.

From that day on, without ice cubes, he got up in the middle of the night to apply ice packs with deep well water. Without light meals, he washed the vegetables with water to remove the fat before eating.

Eating slowly and drawing moves every day.

The two young eunuchs couldn't sit still, and muttered in private.

"Doesn't it mean that you can't eat big fish and meat? Do you have to apply ice?"

"I think he's doing very well, and his wounds are recovering quite well. Is Qiu Yuan's judgment accurate?"

"We serve delicious food and drinks every day, and I feel comfortable."

A few days later, Qiu Yuanjuan returned, and Lin Zhengxiao talked about his recent life.

"I ate well recently, and the wound recovered quickly, all thanks to the empress's careful arrangements."

Qiu Yuanpan nodded and said with a smile that the wound had indeed healed better than before.

"It seems that it doesn't matter whether you use ice or not. Mr. Lin pays attention to strengthening nutrition. You must eat more fish, which is conducive to the recovery of the wound."

After Qiu Yuan sentenced to leave, Lin Zhengxiao dragged the two of them to make a vow.

"I'll be fine soon"

"When my sister comes back, I will reward you very much."

It was an embarrassment for the two young eunuchs.

That night, the two of them ran to Jiaofang Palace, knelt on the ground and wept mournfully.

"Let's go back to the original state. We were tricked before. He clearly wanted to eat well and said that on purpose. I think he's recovered very well."

"That's right, Empress, let's think of another way."

The queen sneered three times, and ordered people to slap their mouths, and the faces of both of them were swollen from the palms.

"Playing with me back and forth"

Xiao Lianzi's face was swollen, and he cried and said that he would never dare again, and that he would be devoted to his mother in the future.

Xiao Guizi kowtowed until his head was covered with blood: "I swear, I will find a way to make his wound fester and die, otherwise I will have no face to see my mother."

The queen smiled comfortably.

"Remember what you two said, if you can't do this little thing well, I will take the lives of the two of you."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, within a month, you will be guaranteed to send that kid to the west."

"get out"

-

From that day on, Lin Zhengxiao resumed vegetables and tofu, not even eggs.

The ice cubes became an insignificant thing, and he didn't force it, as if he didn't know it.

Xiao Lianzi and Xiao Guizi served with a smile on their faces, occasionally crying to Lin Zhengxiao about the kitchen and prescriptions being always difficult.

Lin Zhengxiao always said at this time.

"I'm not a serious master in the palace, it's normal for them to make things difficult for me, don't take it to heart"

It looks like it's invulnerable.

Seeing that his wound was getting better day by day, the two of them were completely anxious.

This day, Xiao Lianzi came back with a pack of medicine mysteriously.

"Look what is this?"

Xiao Guizi's face turned pale with fright: "Poisoning? This is a matter of losing your head. Are you going to kill yourself?"

Xiao Lianzi sneered: "Do you think the empress wants Mr. Lin's head more, or ours?"

Thinking that this is doing something for the empress, they will directly become the empress' confidants after they are done, and their future is limitless.

Xiao Guizi gritted her teeth: "Then do it."

"If he doesn't die, we will die. Stretching out the head and shrinking the head is also a blow."

On the second day, the food in the dining room was tofu mixed with shallots, vegetable soup, and cold rice. The food was bland with almost no oil or water, so Lin Zhengxiao didn't care.

He picked up the bowl and was about to eat as usual.

Xiao Lianzi suddenly poured him a bowl of soup courteously: "Master, this soup is not bad, it's all fresh vegetables, and there are gourds in it."

Alarm bells rang in Lin Zhengxiao's mind.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

He looked at the rice bowl in his hand, the food on the wooden table, and the soup bowl in Xiao Lianzi's hand, and suddenly smiled.

"Eunuch Lian has worked hard, my wound has almost healed, and I can serve a bowl by myself"

Xiao Guizi also stepped forward and smiled: "It's not hard, Mrs. Lin told us to take good care of you before leaving, and we will do our best."
