Get the resurrection scroll, and eat melons and meat after entering the book

Wu Qing rested her chin on her left hand, watching the two perform, finding it quite interesting. Surprisingly, she could actually understand their underlying meaning.

That's not right. She remembered that in the book, Helian Hao had a biological mother, which meant there was a queen mother in the harem. When the queen mother knew about it, she would definitely come to see her son. How could Eunuch Yu stop her?

As soon as Judge Bai left, Wu Qing asked, "Eunuch Yu, will the Empress Dowager come to see the Emperor?"

The fact that she confronted the emperor without caring about her own life showed that she was just living one day at a time. She wanted to know everything immediately and didn't want to endure it. What if she died tomorrow and had to pay too much compensation?

"Oh, as I should." Yu Feng glanced at Wu Qing. He didn't expect this little palace maid to be so thoughtful. He replied with a smile, "I will report this to the Queen Mother right away."

This was something Wu Qing hadn't expected. Was he not afraid that the Queen Mother would find out, or was he telling another lie? Blinking his eyes, he asked, "Excuse me, what do you want to tell the Queen Mother?"

Yu Feng looked at Wu Qing meaningfully and flicked the whisk in his hand. "The Emperor has caught a cold and is afraid that the illness will spread to the Empress Dowager, so he hasn't come to pay his respects to her in the past two days."

Wu Qing understood and nodded, thinking: This is no different from helping the boss deal with customers or the boss's wife in the workplace. The palace is indeed an ancient version of the workplace.

Smiling, he said, "Thank you for clearing up my confusion, sir. I'm fine now, as you're busy."

Yu Feng was startled. "My dear, I cannot bear this 'you'. Please forgive me!"

Wu Qing waved her hands. "Today I can still call you 'Eunuch'. Eunuch has seen it too. I don't know if I helped the Emperor or angered him. Maybe the Emperor said 'keep an eye on me' just to save my life so he can question me. Eunuch is being too good to me!"

Ah! Yu Feng opened his mouth wide. What? Is this true?

You don't know what the emperor means, yet you dare to sleep on the dragon bed? ! !

Yu Feng swallowed hard, thinking that things had already come to this, he should figure out how to save his life!

Wu Qing saw that Eunuch Yu was visibly stunned for a moment, and she smiled maliciously inwardly, but on the surface, her attitude was very good. "My hand doesn't hurt much now. Can you go to the yard to take a look? Mainly, I want to see how the flowers and trees I'm supposed to take care of are doing."

Wu Qing knew that she should call herself a servant, but she didn't like to say that. Anyway, the emperor was not around, and others had no time to bother with her for the time being.

Yu Feng hurriedly said, "Please feel free to do as you please. Take care of your hand injury and don't get too tired." He turned and left.

Wu Qing said behind Yu Feng, "Would you please call me Miss Wu from now on?"

Yu Feng left without looking back. I don’t know if he heard this.

Wu Qing was still thinking: This Eunuch Yu is quite a nice person...

The next moment, her expression suddenly changed, You are so good, Yu Feng!

If my arm heals well, everything will be fine. If it doesn't, I won't let you suffer, you bastard!

She realized belatedly that when Dean Bai came to see the injured patient for the first time, there was no splint in the medical kit he brought, which meant that Dean Bai was not an expert in orthopedics at all.

Eunuch Yu asked Bai Yuanpan to come that day just to keep a backup plan for today. He didn't care whether his arm was good or not. He only thought about hiding the fact that the emperor was not in the palace.

Damn!

Wu Qing looked at her arm again and felt unsure. Could it really heal?

If the bone is not set properly, it will have to be broken and reconnected, right?

She has never had a broken bone, this is just what she heard, but it is said that if a bone is broken it will reconnect and grow again, which means if it is broken again, the bone will grow again.

Just thinking about it made Wu Qing feel pain, and when she came to her senses, she broke out in a cold sweat.

I cursed all eight generations of Yu Feng's ancestors in my heart, but I still felt unsatisfied.

I thought to myself: Mr. Yu, just wait, I will hold a grudge against you!

It would take more than a day or two to tell whether the bone was properly reconnected, and Wu Qing was really tired of staying in the house.

Through the open window, Wu Qing saw a small courtyard outside. "Cui'er, accompany me to the courtyard for a walk!"

He Cui smiled and said, "Sister, you really love taking care of flowers and trees. Have you missed them in just a few days?"

"That's right. They are much better than people. I am sincere to them and will not be wronged!" Wu Qing was still cursing Yu Feng in her heart.

These days, He Cui went to the Imperial Tea Kitchen to eat, but many people asked her whether someone had climbed onto the dragon bed.

She didn't think Wu Qing was like that, but she didn't dare to ask what was going on. Now when she heard it, it seemed that the rumors were true.

Wu Qing took He Cui for a walk around the yard. Sure enough, the trees planted on the ground were fine, but the ones in pots were obviously lacking water.

The herbs and flowers in the field were in an even worse state, showing signs of falling over and leaning to one side.

"He Cui," Wu Qing pointed to the flower garden and saw He Tian, ​​who had eaten with her in the Imperial Tea and Kitchen that day, passing by. Thinking that men are always stronger than women, she waved to the young eunuch.

When Hetian saw the new benefactor calling him, he ran over happily.

When Wu Qing saw someone approaching, she asked, "Can you help Cui'er carry a few buckets of water? I want her to help water these trees."

He Tian hurriedly replied: "Why would you need Sister He Cui? I can just water it."

"Okay, then you two can go water it together. Bring me a bucket of water and put it next to this flower bed. I can handle this one myself."

Although Wu Qing was injured in her right hand, she felt that it would not prevent her from taking care of the plant kingdom left to her by the original owner.

Hetian quickly brought a bucket of water and a wooden spoon, then turned around and busied himself with fetching water to water the trees.

In the shadows of a distant corner, Qing He, whom Wu Qing had always believed to be beautiful and kind, stared at Wu Qing's back, her eyes dark and venomous. She no longer looked like the smiling, cheerful woman she was in front of others.

She murmured in a low voice: "Why did I provoke him and climb into the dragon bed? Why? Why wasn't he beaten to death..." The handkerchief in her hand had been rolled up by her.

Squatting in the autumn sunshine, Wu Qing used her left hand to water the roots of the flowers and trees one spoonful at a time, when she suddenly felt a chill on her spine for no apparent reason.

She looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly and there was not a cloud in the sky. Where did the coldness come from?

Perhaps it was because she had been squatting for too long, and as soon as she moved, a tingling sensation started from the soles of her feet. Wu Qing quickly stood up and moved around, forgetting the inexplicable chill she had just felt.

He moved his legs and feet while staring at the ground, and began to think about how to water the plants.

*-*-*-

The Ninth Prince that everyone is talking about is actually the Ninth Prince Helian Han, who has not yet been officially crowned as a king. He just turned sixteen in the late spring of last year and has reached the age to be crowned a king and set up his own palace.

The emperor called his best brother to the East Warm Pavilion. Just as he was about to talk about this matter, the cabinet handed in a memorial that was urgently awaiting approval.

Helian Hao took the letter and frowned when he looked at it.

Sitting across from the emperor on the Arhat couch was none other than the emperor's ninth brother, Helian Han. He was as tall as the emperor, and his high eyebrows and deep eyes were typical of the Helian family.

Although his facial features are as profound as those of the current emperor, they have a stronger impact because of the scar running from the left corner of his forehead to his brow bone.

That was the scar he left when he faced his enemy on the battlefield, stabbed his opponent's throat with a spear, and was also hit by the opponent's knife.

He was wearing a robe that looked simple in style, but it was actually made of brocade with patterns. It was expensive but not ostentatious, and his bearing was not much inferior to that of the emperor.

The large window with glazed tiles behind him was backlit, causing the man's prominent brow bones to cast heavy shadows on his eyes, making his gaze seem deeper.

Although she was in the palace, her long hair was still braided and tied into a bun at the back of her head according to the style of a military officer.

This overall outline has no buffering, and is full of unconcealed edges and corners, making it look particularly sharp.

He was sinister to begin with, and the scar made him even more ferocious, making him even more aloof.

Anyone who is not familiar with the Ninth Prince will retreat in fear when they see him like this.

However, Emperor Helian Hao, who had taught him to ride horses and write since he was a child, never had this feeling. He always felt that his ninth brother was excellent in all aspects and was serious and decisive in doing things.

Helian Han, who seemed fierce, saw the emperor frowning and asked, "What's wrong, Third Brother? If there is anything, just tell me and I will take care of it."

He was not bragging when he said this. The ninth prince entered the military camp for training at the age of twelve, went to the battlefield to kill the enemy at the age of fourteen, and now at the age of sixteen he has become so feared by the Di people in the northwest border.

Helian Hao shook his head. "It's not something that can be solved by leading troops to fight. It's a matter for the Ministry of Works."

"What's the matter with the Ministry of Works? They want money again?" When Helian Han heard that it was the Ministry of Works' business, his sharp brows concealed the murderous intent, but his hostility became three times heavier.

Helian Hao threw the memorial to his ninth brother. "Asking for money is a piece of cake now. The Baihe River embankment on the outskirts of Beijing was repaired last spring, and it collapsed again this spring. Look at what they are saying."

Helian Han took the memorial, unfolded it, and said as he read it, "That section of the riverbank has collapsed. Will the summer rainstorms directly flood the capital?"

Helian Hao rubbed his brows and said, "It has collapsed for two years in a row, and it collapsed again this year. I don't know how the Ministry of Industry can handle it."

"Your Majesty, don't get angry about this. I will go and take a look myself. Whether it can be repaired or not, we must first find out the root cause of this matter." Helian Han said as he stood up from the couch.

"How are you going? Are you going to take up a position in the Ministry of Industry?" Helian Hao asked.

It's never a good idea for a general to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Works.

"No need. Although the title of Ninth Prince is not an official one, it is useful!" Helian Han picked up the memorial and said, "I will take this for your consideration."

"Okay, just consider me staying here. The riverbank needs to be repaired before the rainy season, so you should go and come back soon." Helian Hao has complete confidence in his ninth brother's ability to get things done.

Helian Hao had a seventh sister and a ninth brother. He seldom acted like an emperor in front of these two people. He usually addressed them as "you and I". However, his ninth brother did not go beyond the rules and always called him "your humble servant".

Another person who enjoyed this treatment was Gu Shixin. In the past, he would even humble himself when Gu Shixin got angry. But recently, Gu Shixin became more and more unreasonable, so he took on the majesty of the emperor and called himself "I" in front of him.

"I will leave today." Helian Han left as soon as he said that.

But five days later, Helian Han returned to the palace and came to Desheng Hall to see Helian Hao. "The matter of Baihe has been investigated, and it is indeed difficult to deal with."

"What happened? Tell me in detail." Helian Hao put down the letter in his hand.

"Other places repair river embankments during the dry season, but the section of Baihe River looks fine during the dry season. But when the spring winds blow, that section is a wind vent. I was standing in that wind vent, and a gust of wind almost knocked me over. It was too bad." Helian Han thought of his embarrassing appearance when he was caught off guard and fell to the ground, and hurriedly waved his hands. The wind was so strong that it was beyond what he had ever seen in his life.

Helian Hao looked up and down at his tall and strong ninth brother, "Are you hurt?"

Helian Han waved his hand, "No." He added with a serious expression, "Originally, planting trees on the riverbank can stabilize the soil and water, but in that windy area, since the insect plague destroyed several old trees two years ago, new trees have been difficult to plant in recent years. Newly planted trees in early spring have not yet taken root deeply when the strong winds of late spring come, and they are directly uprooted by the wind."

The emperor nodded repeatedly after listening to Helian Han's words. It turned out that this was the root of the problem. The memorial from the Ministry of Works only reported that the river embankment had collapsed again and needed to be repaired. It turned out that the ninth brother had done a more thorough investigation.

This situation seemed troublesome, so Helian Hao asked, "Is there any way?"

"I came back to Beijing this time to visit the old officials in the Ministry of Works who were in charge of water conservancy, to see if they had any ideas. Also, since I'm in charge of this matter, please give me a position in the Ministry of Works!"

Going to the local area to check and actually taking care of the matter are two different things. Not to mention the identity of a prince, even if he was officially canonized as a prince, he would not have the power to allocate silver, labor, and materials from the Ministry of Works, so a position in the Ministry of Works is still necessary.

Helian Hao sighed, "The Minister of Works is doing a good job, but we can't just give him away for nothing. No other position is worthy of your status as the Ninth Prince. I was thinking about choosing a title for you these past few days so that you can leave the palace and set up your own residence. You can't just let a prince hold the position of Vice Minister in the Ministry of Works."

The eldest eunuch Su He pulled the curtain and entered the East Warm Room, where he served this year's new tea. Each tea leaf was shaped like a baby's fist. As soon as he entered the East Warm Room, the aroma of the teapot leaked out.

Su He poured a bowl for the Emperor and then for the Ninth Prince. The fragrance of tea instantly filled the room. Su He said, "Your Highness, please try it. It was delayed in the south, so this has just been presented to you. This is the first time Your Majesty is drinking it today."

If nothing else, just the taste alone made Helian Han praise the tea, "Great tea!" He took the Doucai porcelain bowl, took a sip, and said to the emperor, "There's no rush to establish a government office. I'll take care of the Baihe River embankment first, and then Your Majesty will give me a higher title."

The emperor thought for a moment, "Alright. Also, you're the most useful chess piece in Third Brother's hand. I can't just give you the position of Minister of that ministry for every job you do..." He took a sip of tea from his cup, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's make you the Prime Minister. That way you won't have to make another appointment in the future if you don't have the necessary qualifications."

Helian Han's sharp brows relaxed for a moment, "That's a good idea. It will solve the problem once and for all."

The emperor put down his teacup and snorted, "If the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites's mansion is really to your liking, my third brother will grant you a marriage."

Helian Han lowered his gaze, feeling even more subdued. "To be honest with you, my brother, I do care about her, but she's already engaged to the Anguo family, so how can I force her?"

The Emperor frowned, unsure of his ninth brother's intentions. Why did the mention of his beloved only make him even more angry? "This isn't a big deal. With an imperial decree granting marriage, who wouldn't be exempt from it?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became chilly, and Su He stole a glance at Helian Han. Why did he become even more angry when the Ninth Prince's sweetheart was mentioned?
