concubines

Chapter 254
The eunuchs sent out never came back, and there was not enough manpower here, so another servant had to be picked to fill in.Hands and feet are also quite diligent, and Mammy Xi is quite satisfied.

There has been no reply from the emperor up to now. I don't know if he is happy or unhappy, and Mammy Xi feels a little uneasy.I don't know if it's right for me to do that, maybe it's time to wait for the emperor to come back and let Miao Li talk to him by herself.

But she was also afraid that Miaoli would be stubborn, so she wouldn't listen to what she said.Forget it, anyway, the letter has been sent out, there is no way to change it.There is no problem in thinking, the emperor can only be happy.

While Miao Li was worried, she continued to make her bellyband.If you don't find something to do, you will be very depressed if you are always in a daze.

After embroidering for a while, Xiaohong came in from the outside and looked at her handicraft. "Your Majesty's craftsmanship is getting better and better. I don't need a servant as a master at all. Look at how beautifully this blessing is embroidered."

Miao Li also looked at her work with admiration, "I think it will be much easier to make after the string in my head is cleared."

It's not that she's bragging, it's true.It's not very good now, but you can already see what is embroidered.Unlike before, it was just a ball of thread.

Xiaohong put down the embroidery, thought for a while, and then said to Miaoli: "I heard from them outside that the emperor seems to be coming back. I should be able to arrive in the capital this evening at the earliest, and tomorrow morning at the latest."

Miao Li wanted to ask what the situation was, so she could bear it and forget it.Being able to come back means that he is still alive, as long as he is alive is enough.She doesn't want to care about other small plots, so she can do whatever she likes.

She is not a doctor, so she cannot cure illnesses and save lives.

"understood."

Xiaohong asked again: "Will the empress go over to see?"

"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Miao Li kept staring at her embroidery frame, and replied casually.

It could be seen that she was actually a little worried, but she didn't say it out loud.Xiaohong doesn't really want her to be so stupid again, she would rather be angry for a while, at least she won't be hurt any more.I've been disappointed all the time, and it's better to be disappointed after I get better.

The new eunuch Xiao Xiangzi brought in the boiled medicine, handed it to Xiaohong, and then left.

Xiaohong tried the temperature, and gave it to Miao Li when she felt it was right, and said: "By the way, Mr. Lu sent someone to say that he won't be here for a few days. It seems that Liu'er is sick. Let your mother eat and take medicine on time." , don’t eat indiscriminately, and there won’t be any major problems.”

"Is Liu Eryan serious? If possible, send someone over to take a look. It's very hard for him to be a father and a mother with a child alone."

"The servant will let people go and see it later, but the empress doesn't have to worry about it. Lord Lu's peach blossoms are flourishing, and there are many young ladies in the palace who have taken a fancy to him, and the empress will choose a smart one for him."

Miao Li thought for a while, and felt that it was not suitable for her to intervene, and said, "It's up to him to choose, the most important thing is that he likes it."

Xiaohong took the medicine bowl, and murmured in her heart that if she could really choose whoever she was with, Master Lu wouldn't have to wait so long, it's so meaningless.

Soon it was getting dark, the palace gate was wide open, and the carriage drove all the way into the palace wall.The lights in Longde Hall had been off for so long, and finally turned on today, and Zhou Shuxuan came back.

It's just that he still has a high fever and is unconscious.

During the riots, I was accidentally scratched on my arm by a commoner's weapon. It was not a serious injury, but it was not treated well.In addition, a lot of people died in the area, and the environment was not particularly clean. I don't know what kind of disease they contracted.

Zhou Shuxuan originally planned to walk a certain distance, but saw that the injury on his arm could not be controlled, so he hurried back.

When Jie Bizhi arrived, he could hardly see his arm.He directly asked someone to come over with a knife and scraped off all the rotten flesh. He could barely see the white bones before he managed to control his illness.

Zhou Shuxuan fainted from the pain at that time, and developed a high fever after walking not far, and he is still not fully awake until now.The situation is really not particularly good, and he may die at any time.

Jie Bizhi changed the medicine for him, and checked his condition, it was still not particularly good.Whether he survives or not depends on his luck.

This is retribution!
Jie Bizhi cursed a few words in his heart, but he didn't go out and sat here watching Zhou Shuxuan.Pay attention to his condition at all times, if the fever gets worse at night, it is probably hopeless.

Hearing that Zhou Shuxuan came back, and he came back with uncertain life and death.Lin Yanchi and Geng Qingru couldn't sit still, crying and clamoring to come and have a look, Li Youfu also went to Longde Hall wiping away her tears.

When Jie Bizhi heard them crying, he asked them to take a look at each of them, and then drove them out.

In Qingquan Palace, Miao Li had just finished washing and was about to lie down and go to sleep.Only by sleeping on time and on time can we have a good body.

Mammy Xi helped her tuck the quilt, but still couldn't help asking: "Madam, don't you want to go and have a look?"

Miao Li turned over and said, "I'm going to sleep, so go and see if you want to."

"That's fine, Madam is pregnant with a child, so don't get sick in the past. If something happens to the emperor, it's our only hope."

It sounds so uncomfortable, and there is only hope, as if you are really going to die.

Miaoli couldn't fall asleep anymore, she kept thinking about Mammy Xi's words, it should be all right, since Jie Bizhi is there, nothing will go wrong.But Jie Bizhi was already very dissatisfied with Zhou Shuxuan in his heart, would he just...

The more Miao Li thought about it, the more worried she became. She could have had a good sleep, but now she can't.After tossing and turning for a long time, she sat up from the bed and called out, "Xiao Hong."

Xiaohong came in while putting on her clothes, and asked, "Ma'am, the servant is here."

"Help me get dressed, I'm going out."

"It's so late, where are you going?"

"Where else can I go? Everyone is running over there, so I have to go and have a look." Miao Li frowned and gave a wry smile, but she couldn't hold on.

"But it's very late now, my lady can go again in the daytime tomorrow. Besides, there's nothing to see, I haven't woken up yet."

Xiaohong didn't really want her to go there, as if she would lose if she passed.If you were treated like that before, you can completely remember and hate it for a lifetime.

"I just went to see it before I woke up. I won't go there when I wake up." Miao Li pushed her and said, "Go and help me get my clothes. Go early so that you can come back to sleep early."

Xiaohong knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she could only help her pack up her things and go to Longde Hall.

Arriving at this familiar place, Miao Li thought that she would never come back for the rest of her life, as if she thought that she would never get along well with him again.

But in the face of life and death, it seems that those small details are not important.What happened recently can no longer be mentioned. All I think about is the good times before, and I don’t look at the bad and look at the good.

Jie Bizhi dozed off on the table, and when he saw another woman coming in, he said directly, "Don't come and see, this will be the last time."

Not knowing if he was angry or what, Miao Li stepped forward and asked, "Is it really serious?"

When Jie Bizhi heard her voice, he yawned and opened his eyes, "It's about the same. If the fever doesn't subside today, I'm going to have to prepare for the funeral. I can't do anything about it, no one can do it, and I can only rely on it." he himself."

Talking so seriously, it doesn't seem like you are teasing her, "Master, please. Can I take a closer look?"

"Yes, not contagious."

Miao Li went forward, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the person on the bed.As soon as he got close, he could feel the heat on his body, a layer of skin formed at the corner of his mouth, and his face was flushed.He reached out his hand to check the temperature on his forehead, and it felt a little hot to the touch.

Miao Li took a cup and dipped some water on his lips, trying to make him feel less uncomfortable.Knowing that this would have no effect, Miao Li was anxious.Facing the outside, he asked, "Master, is it helpful to apply cold water to him?"

"There may be a little bit, but the effect is unknown, you can try it, I will teach you." Jie Bizhi stepped forward, "Pour some warm water into the wine and rub it slowly from top to bottom. Start from the neck , and then the limbs, but don’t move his right arm, then the chest and back, armpits, elbows, and all joints, these places must be rubbed.”

"I see."

Xiaohong has already prepared the things to use, twisted the cotton cloth half dry, and said: "Your Majesty, come here, servant girl."

"Let me try it first, and let you come if I can." Miao Li untied Zhou Shuxuan's clothes, picked up the cotton cloth and wiped it carefully according to Jie Bizhi's instructions.

After waiting for a while, I don't know if it was her psychological effect or what, but I felt that the person really didn't feel so hot anymore, so I wiped him again.

After going back and forth several times, it was almost dawn.Miao Li reached out and touched Zhou Shuxuan's forehead, the fever seemed to have subsided.Only then did he throw the cotton cloth back into the basin, and then tidied up his clothes.

After tidying up, she got up and covered her face and yawned. She was so sleepy that she wanted to go back to sleep.Before leaving, he said to the slave guarding the door: "Don't tell the emperor that I have been here."

Seeing Jie Bizhi's meaning, it seems that people can wake up after the fever subsides. Now that he has recovered, it will still be the same as before.

When Miaoli went back, she had just caught up with Madam Xi and got up to go to Longde Hall.Seeing her coming back from the outside, she stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, where have you been?"

Miao Li was so sleepy that she shook her head and went straight to the house.

Xiao Hong held back Mammy Xi, and said, "Don't ask her, Mama, let her sleep for a while, and go and watch for the whole night."

Mother Xi asked in disbelief, "To the emperor?"

Xiaohong nodded.

I said so many harsh words, but I still miss it in my heart.Mammy Xi only hoped that they would be fine in the future and that they would never make trouble again.

Miao Li lay down on the bed and fell asleep, not sure if it was because she was too tired, or because the worries had finally passed.
