Queen Sun

Chapter 66
At sunset, the shadow of the carriage tilted little by little according to the direction of the setting sun. The boy driving the carriage stopped in front of the tall palace gate, jumped off the horse cleverly, stood in front of the carriage curtain, and called out respectfully: "Sir, we have Arrived, it seems logical that we can no longer drive forward.”

Inside the car, a man of unknown age said to the woman beside him, "Ma'am, if it's too late to turn around now, are you going to..."

The woman closed her eyes slightly, then opened them and said, "Let's go, Mr. Sun, this is something I have to face."

"Don't worry, after all, I'm already too easy on your face, even people close to you may not be able to recognize it, not to mention, there is almost no one in this Tai Chi Palace except the East Palace who can expose your identity." Sun Simiao comforted him.

Ruoshui's mouth curled into a faint smile: "Actually, I'm really relieved to be able to see Cheng Qian." Having said that, she nodded towards him.

Sun Simiao was silent for a while, then lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Since Ma'am has made up her mind, please get out of the car."

The three of them walked to the gate of the palace together, and the little boy took out the documents to the guard at the gate, and said, "Brother, we were invited to treat the princess. This is my master, Dr. Sun, and the other is Dr. Sun." My senior sister."

"Ah, you are that Miracle Doctor Sun." The guard seemed to have heard about it, and let them in with a very respectful attitude.

After walking a few steps, Ruoshui looked back again, the high palace walls were reflected by the setting sun even more distant, and the words "the setting sun is like blood" suddenly jumped out of her heart.

Before leaving, she pulled her sleeves without speaking or crying, but just stared at herself silently. She held the young man's hand and said softly, "Aunt Shui will be back soon. Doctor Hu will take care of you, don't worry."

Yixin let go of Ruoshui's hand slowly, still did not speak, quietly watched Ruoshui leave step by step, stepped into the carriage, and finally left.

Ruoshui resisted the urge to turn around in the car, and after Sun Simiao finished her facial expression, she took off the jade pendant from her neck and said, "Mr. Sun, if I really can't go back, please give this to Xinxin , and then take him to the residence of the current Shangshu Youpu Shegao, okay?"

Sun Simiao took the jade pendant, seemed hesitant to speak, but finally nodded: "Don't worry, I will."

"Ma'am, ma'am!" Seeing Ruoshui's dazed expression, the little boy called out, "It's strange, since we have come to see a doctor, why is there no one to guide you? The palace is so big, how can we find the East Palace? ?”

Ruoshui calmed down, looked around, and said, "East Palace and Taiji Palace are built side by side, follow me."

Sun Simiao looked at the curious apprentice with a smile, and understood the doubts that had been in his heart for the past two days. Even he himself was quite puzzled by the queen's resurrection and staying outside the palace, but as long as he was in the royal family, There will always be countless secrets.If it wasn't for that child, he thought the queen would definitely not take the initiative to find him, but if there was no such opportunity, she would never know that her eldest son was sick at this moment. Fate is like an infinitely extending chain, forever Ring to ring.

After walking for a while, I finally arrived at the East Palace, but I naturally avoided the Xiande Hall, which is the place where government is discussed, and came directly to the prince's bedroom. He greeted him in surprise: "Is it Dr. Sun?"

Before Sun Simiao nodded and said yes, the little boy had already put on a serious face and said: "Sister palace lady, but you came to invite my master to treat illnesses, but there is no one to guide us at the gate of the palace. The palace is so big, if we delay Time is up, so what should I do?"

The palace lady seemed very surprised: "Ah? Aunt Guangyue has already sent someone to wait at the gate of the palace. Could it be that you didn't run into each other?"

"Where is it, there is not even a shadow of a person." The little boy said angrily, "If it wasn't for my senior sister..."

"Okay, Tong'er." Sun Simiao interrupted in time, "Girl, hurry up and go in to see the prince's foot injury."

The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led the way: "Sir, when you entered the palace, you used the name of the princess, right?"

"Yes, someone has warned you before." Sun Simiao said kindly, "Is His Royal Highness awake now?"

The maid nodded worryingly and said: "Yes, Your Highness has been in a coma since yesterday evening, and just woke up and was eating."

Sun Simiao's face was a little dignified, and he looked at Ruoshui, only to see that she had lowered her eyebrows and remained silent since just now, he sighed in his heart, he felt sorry for his parents.

In the huge inner room, apart from the lying prince, only the princess concubine and Mingxia were left, as soon as Mingxia saw Sun Simiao, she immediately called out: "Doctor Sun, please save the feet of His Highness the prince. "

Sun Simiao smiled calmly and said softly, "Your Highness, please let me see your injury."

There was no trace of expression on Cheng Qian's face, he just nodded and signaled his wife to lift the quilt.

Sun Simiao looked at the bandaged wound and asked cautiously, "How long has your Highness been injured?"

Seeing that Cheng Qian didn't speak, Wei Xi had no choice but to reply for him: "It's been more than ten days, and I was injured by the arrow in the hunting garden. His Highness pulled out the arrow at the beginning, but it was still bloody in the East Palace. The bleeding didn't stop. Later the imperial doctor came to stop the bleeding and prescribed medicine, but the imperial doctor also said that because of the old injury, there must be hidden dangers."

While listening, Sun Simiao cautiously stretched out his hand to untie the wrapped cloth strips. After a while, a horrible-looking wound appeared in front of everyone. He looked carefully and couldn't help frowning: "The bleeding has stopped, but the wound shows no sign of healing at all. If this continues, not only will the foot fail, but even His Highness's life may be in danger."

When the words fell to the ground, everyone in the inner room couldn't help but uttered terrified voices, but the prince remained indifferent. Suddenly, Cheng Qian raised his head, and his eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces until they stopped at a clearly Completely unfamiliar woman. "Doctor Sun, is that girl also your apprentice? I remember that you were always a loner in the past?"

Sun Simiao's hands paused, and then he smiled lightly: "Your Highness has a good memory, but after all, time makes people old, and the hands and feet have not been very agile in the past few years, so I simply accepted two apprentices, at least I can still help me on weekdays." Mention something or something."

Cheng Qian half-closed his eyes: "I don't know why, but I always think that girl looks very familiar."

"Hehe, Your Highness doesn't know something. My big disciple was born unable to speak, so I'm afraid I can't answer your question." Sun Simiao said for Ruoshui.

"Really?" Chengqian regained his composure, "Maybe I misread it." But there was still that slight whisper echoing in his ears, it really sounded like a mother's voice, could it be that he was so sick and confused?
Ruoshui's tense body relaxed a little, but the visible wound made her heart ache. Who, exactly who dared to hurt Cheng Qian like this, but why at this time, Li Shimin and even his elder brother were so angry. Instead of being by his side, what Yong'an Palace did she go to?
For almost the whole night, Sun Simiao hardly stopped his hand movements to clean up the wound again, layer after layer of medicine was applied carefully and skillfully, and then tied up with clean cloth strips, each step was done slowly and meticulously , From the beginning to the end, Cheng Qian didn't say a word.When dawn dawned, Sun Simiao's eyes were already bloodshot, but he continued to write down the prescription and said, "Hurry up and ask someone to grab the medicine and decoct it."

Mingxia took the prescription and was about to leave when she heard the doctor behind her add another sentence: "Let my disciple go with you, she is very familiar with decoction."

Ruoshui clenched her cold hands, and walked out behind Mingxia with her stiff legs and heels. Along the way, Mingxia looked at her several times with strange eyes, and finally couldn't help saying: "Girl, are you really Can't talk?"

Ruoshui nodded with a smile, but Mingxia called out, "What your Highness said earlier is right, girl, you really look like our young lady. You have two faces, but with this figure, and the charm, you can't see it." It's like the same person."

Seeing Ruoshui's seemingly puzzled expression, Mingxia then said sadly: "I know you don't understand what I'm talking about, but no matter how similar you are, you can't be Miss, we all watched her leave with our own eyes...ah , the Imperial Medical Office is just ahead, let's go in."

"Doctor Sun, you have been tired all night, go to the next room to rest for a while, and I will call you when the prince wakes up." Wei Xi looked at her husband who had just fallen asleep, and said to Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao didn't hold back either, and only said to the princess: "Then I'll let the little disciple guard here, if there's anything wrong, I'll find out as soon as possible."

Wei Xi nodded gratefully, watched the miracle doctor leave, and then said to the little boy, "Sit down and drink some water, and have some snacks."

The little boy happily took it, started to eat, and asked curiously: "Are you the princess? But you look really kind."

Wei Xi smiled and said: "Why do you say that, shouldn't the princess be kind?"

"That's not true." The little boy said with a bitter face, "I used to go to the palace with my master to see a doctor, and the princesses there looked very fierce, and they only had a cold face all day long. He said, the ladies in the palace seem to be even more majestic, but I don’t know if it’s true. But you also live in the palace, but you look very kind.”

Wei Xi liked this child's innocent appearance very much, so he couldn't help but reached out and touched his face and said, "You are still young, and it must be very hard for you to travel around with Dr. Sun all the time, right?"

The little boy curled his lips secretly and said: "Just get used to it, don't look at him as capable, in fact, I still need to take care of him."

"What about your senior sister?" Weixi asked strangely.

"What senior sister?" The little boy didn't realize it all at once, "ah, senior sister... yes... senior sister's health is not very good, so I need to take care of her."

Wei Xi sighed, "I also have a younger brother who is about the same age as you, but we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Behind them, Cheng Qian, who had been sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, opened his eyes slightly, with an indescribable meaning and confusion in his expression.

The decocted concoction was served in a white porcelain bowl by Ruoshui. At this time, Sun Simiao also woke up from his light sleep and returned to the prince's bed. Seeing that the concubine was about to take the medicine bowl, he said: : "Let it be my apprentice, Crown Princess, you should also go to rest."

Weixi really felt a little light under her feet, she came to Chengqian's side and stood for a while, then left.

After a while, I heard Sun Simiao say to Cheng Qian who seemed to be asleep: "Your Highness, please get up and take the medicine first."

Cheng Qian opened his eyes, his gaze was as sharp as a sharp knife: "How does Mr. Sun know that I am awake?"

Sun Simiao smiled softly: "Your Highness, I have practiced medicine for most of my life, so I know patients best. If the medicine is cold, the medicine's properties will be reduced by half."

Ruoshui lowered her eyelids, and carefully put a small spoonful of medicine into Chengqian's mouth. She had tasted it when decocting it, and knew that the soup was disgustingly bitter, but now her son didn't even frown , Just like that, he drank the soup in the porcelain bowl spoon by spoonful.How long has it been since she discovered that her son and daughter have inadvertently become strangers she doesn't know? What about Qingque?There was also the pair of young sons and young daughters. Missing her was like a knife. At this moment, her heart ached. Tears flowed down silently. Amid Sun Simiao's heavy sighs, she quickly got up, put down the medicine bowl, and left the room. An inner room that almost suffocates oneself.

"Mr. Sun, is that girl really your apprentice?" Chengqian's nose lingered for a long time with that familiar fragrance, which really smelled like a mother's, and he couldn't help but relax himself.

Sun Simiao evaded and did not answer: "My disciple has the softest heart. Whenever I see a patient who is slightly more serious, I will cry uncontrollably, which makes Your Highness laugh."

Chengqian took a deep look at him, and said in a relaxed tone: "I want this girl to stay in the East Palace. I wonder if Mr. Sun is willing to part with her?"

"Cutting love?" Sun Simiao didn't seem to understand. "Everyone in this world is free to come and go. As long as she agrees, the prince can keep her without asking me. If she doesn't want to, even if I agree, I still can't." Strong to stay."

Cheng Qian smiled faintly, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Ruoshui only knew that he ran out out of control for a while, probably out of the East Palace, here is...

The sky was already bright, and from a distance, she saw the shadow of Wude Hall at a glance, a trace of past sadness flashed in her deep eyes, she looked around, wondering if it was because the emperor almost moved the front court and the rear palace Because of going to the summer palace, the surrounding area was quiet, and there were no people around.

Ruoshui walked slowly in the Taiji Palace in the early morning, with his own experiences and the memories of his eldest grandson, the palace alleys and palaces should be familiar, but at this moment they seem strangely strange.It was as if he was the only one in the huge palace, lonely, sad, and some inexplicable feelings arose spontaneously.
