After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

"Yuan Yi!" Yuan Qing hurried over and hugged him, "You're finally back. Let me see how you are doing."

As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves to check.

"Cough cough..."

When Yuan Qing heard the cough, he realized that there was someone else there.

"Master, this is Ye Yun."

After the introduction, Yuan Yi stood between the two of them again, blocking Yuan Qing's inquiring gaze.

Unexpectedly, two voices sounded at the same time.

Yuan Qing: "Don't block it, I haven't seen who it is yet."

Ye Jun: "Please move aside. You are blocking me from talking to the master."

Yuan Yi took a deep breath and moved slightly.

Ye Jun came to Yuan Qing in one step and said, "Master, I am the secret guard who is fluent in the southern barbarian language. How was the mission? Did I complete it well?"

Hey!

What a charming and handsome mixed-race boy!

Seeing the two of them flirting with each other, Yuan Yi immediately turned his head and glared at him, saying coldly: "Don't forget your mission."

The next second, his expression returned to normal, and he said to Yuan Qing, "He is half southerner, and knows some witchcraft, so I took the initiative to bring him here, hoping he can help."

Yuan Qing was so excited that he immediately gave the young guard a bear hug, then walked past him and pulled Ye Jun into the hall.

The corners of Yuan Yi's mouth, which had not yet fully risen, froze in the middle.

Looking at the backs of the two people walking away together, he felt extremely complicated.

It seemed like he accidentally brought trouble upon himself.

Ye Yun was pressed to the bedside by Yuan Qing, who asked him to treat Empress Dowager Yuan who was lying on the couch first.

First, Empress Dowager Yuan's condition seemed to be more serious than Wen Chengyu's. Second, Wen Chengyu was the king of a country. Unless it was necessary, a doctor of unknown origin could not directly provide treatment.

So we can only start with Empress Dowager Yuan.

Ye Jun also knew that the situation was urgent, so he put away his smile and took the patient's pulse seriously.

But the more I looked at him, the more confused his expression became.

After looking at it for a long time, Ye Jun withdrew his hand in dismay and said, "Maybe my subordinates are not well-trained and can't tell what kind of Gu caused it.

Please give me more time, I can only try my best to find a solution."

"Is ten days enough?" Yuan Qing asked him.

Ye Jun shook his head. "How can ten days be enough? According to what I have learned, it will take at least a month."

"There are only ten days. If they don't wake up in ten days, I will have to find another way."

Ten days from now there will be a mourning banquet, when all the princes and concubines from various palaces will gather in the capital, and there is a high probability that unrest will break out.

"Then... I will do my best..." A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Ye Jun's forehead.

If I had known he would not come, what a mistake...

Ye Jun lowered his head resignedly.

He was treating the patient by the bed, and Yuan Qing was sitting beside him watching.

After a while, she fell on the young guard.

Yuan Yi looked at his sleeping master, picked her up, and whispered to Eunuch Shun: "Where is a place to rest?"

"What's wrong with you, sir?" Eunuch Shun leaned over to take a look. "Do we need to ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"

Yuan Yi turned around and avoided him. "No need, my lord, you are just too tired. Just take a rest."

"There is a room in the west wing that is specially for Lord Gong to live in." said Eunuch Shun.

"Thank you."

He carefully carried Yuan Qing back to the bedroom, took off her outer clothes and covered her with a quilt.

After settling down, he sat on the footstool and took a nap to keep watch all night.

Yuan Qing has never been a very sound sleeper. Before midnight, he had already run to the foot of the bed.

Yuan Yi was awakened by a creaking sound.

He looked up at the bed.

Yuan Qing was lying sideways on his stomach, forming a "big" shape.

Yuan Yi looked at it and frowned again and again.

He has never seen his master sleeping soundly, and it is like this every night?

He stood up, placed the sword gently on the table, walked over, put the person back in his place, and covered him with the quilt.

Perhaps because he felt too hot, Yuan Qing kicked the quilt away.

Yuan Yi bent down and tried to pull back the quilt that his master had kicked off, but was pulled down by Yuan Qing and fell to the side.

Before he could get up, Yuan Qing hooked him back with one arm, raised one leg and pressed it on him, and then he fell asleep contentedly.

The whole set of actions made Yuan Yi suddenly at a loss, and he could only stand stiffly and let her hold him.

Too terrible...

It really is as my master said, it is painful and joyful at the same time.

He couldn't move, and didn't want to move.

After hesitating for a moment, he raised the other arm that was not pressed down, loosely wrapped it around her waist, held her in his arms, and felt the satisfaction of the moment.

By dawn, two bright dark sockets appeared on Yuan Yi's face.

Yuan Qing woke up slowly, lay on the bed and stretched.

It’s so comfortable. I haven’t slept so soundly in a long time.

When Yuan Yi came in, Yuan Qing had already put on his clothes and was sitting on a stool.

Looking at the two dark circles under the young guard's eyes, Yuan Qing burst out laughing.

After staring for a while, she jokingly asked, "Did you have a fight with someone in the middle of the night?"

Yuan Yi suddenly turned his back and raised his hands to cover his face.

He feels guilty!

He couldn't say that he had selfish thoughts about his master and that was why he ended up like this.

I was filled with anger all night, and thinking back on it now, it was really torturous.

After he returned to the room in the morning, he tried many ways to get rid of the pain, but none of them worked.

Just fight, but don't let your little thoughts be exposed in front of your master.

Yuan Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he indeed became like this because of the fight.

"Apply cold water to it and it will feel much better."

Yuan Qing knew that the young guard was thin-skinned, so he held his mouth tightly to prevent the laughter from escaping.

When she packed up and went to the main hall to check, she unexpectedly met another black-eyed boy.

After a night of hard work, the handsome boy from yesterday has now turned into a sloppy young man.

Dark circles under the eyes, short stubble, wrinkled clothes, and a listless look on his face.

No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with that person from yesterday.

"What's going on?" Yuan Qing asked, sitting next to him.

Ye Jun yawned, pushed the things aside and was about to stand up, "It's nothing, I can't tell what kind of Gu it is.

I will go to sleep first, so that I can treat the patient properly after I wake up."

Just as I was about to go out, I ran into Yuan Yi.

Both brothers had dark circles under their eyes, but after being cleaned up, Yuan Yi looked much better than the other one.

Ye Jun grabbed his wrist in a daze and started taking his pulse, then left after saying "You're too angry."

Yuan Yi hurried to see his master's expression.

But Yuan Qing just looked at him in confusion and asked, "Are you angry?"

"No, that guy is just talking nonsense. I am in good health and have no discomfort."

His tone was urgent, as if he was hiding something.

Fortunately, Yuan Qing did not delve into it further and just asked him to pay more attention.
