The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Chapter 339

"Sister, I have one more thing to say before I leave.

I wonder if my sister has noticed the beauty beside the third prince. She is truly "as graceful as a startled swan and as graceful as a lotus with every step."

By the way, my sister is going to see a doctor. Will the emperor come over soon? After all, the emperor cares a lot about my sister. "

After saying that, Cui Wanxi turned around and left with her people, not caring at all about how many people present were upset by her words.

Qiao Xi clenched her fists and lowered her head to hide the sharpness in her eyes.

Cui Wanxi had just seen her face, and now she was still saying such words, which made her very angry, but also a little confused.

Defei's words might arouse Shufei's vigilance or targeting towards her, but once Shufei saw her face, this vigilance or targeting would disappear immediately.

But if it wasn't for this, why did she remind Concubine Shu to pay attention to herself?

This was Qiao Xi's first time in Baidi City, and also her first time entering the Nine Palaces Harem. How could she know the secrets of the harem?

Therefore, he did not notice the hidden malice in Ruan Yunheng's eyes when she looked at Cui Wanxi after hearing her words.

However, the reason why Ruan Yunheng could hold her current position and be so favored by the emperor was not only because of her outstanding appearance and family background, but also because of her brains.

She glanced at Ren Qingzhou, then looked at Qiao Xi for a while, then smiled again and softly instructed the palace maid to serve tea to Ren Qingzhou and others.

While the palace maid was serving tea, no one noticed that Ruan Yunheng gave a wink to the maid who was serving her, and then the maid followed the palace maid who was serving tea and retreated.

Ren Qingzhou held the warm teacup in his hand, but the heat not only failed to warm his hands, but instead made his eyes as cold as a cold pond.

Ever since Concubine De Cui Wanxi left, he began to reflect on himself.

He wondered if he had been in and out of Jiuque too seldom that they had forgotten his identity and thought the people he brought with him could be bullied.

It seems that he will have to go to these Nine Palaces more often in the future.

Thinking of this, Ren Qingzhou sighed softly and drank the tea in the cup.

Ruan Yunheng seemed to hear this sigh, looked up at Ren Qingzhou, and said with a smile:

"Please trouble the Third Prince to come personally. Master Li, I'm sorry to trouble you again this time!"

Hearing this, Ren Qingzhou said indifferently: "I just felt bored, so I came here with my senior brother. It has nothing to do with you, Madam Shufei. It's not a big deal."

Li Wen followed suit and said, "As a doctor, I am doing my duty by treating the Empress. It's not a big deal."

Concubine Ruan Yunheng gently fiddled with the green smoke rising from the gilded incense burner with her fingertips. When she heard the words, the corners of her eyes raised slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"It is I who am being so reserved."

Her voice was soft, as if soaked in honey, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

With a "click", Ren Qingzhou placed the teacup in his hand on the table beside him, looking at Li Wen nonchalantly and said:

"Big Brother, we've almost finished our tea, isn't it time to get down to business?"

Hearing this, Li Wen simply put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at Qiao Xi, and signaled her to come forward with his eyes.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi nodded slightly and came to Li Wen very obediently.

Concubine Ruan Yunheng looked at Li Wen with some confusion:

"Mr. Li, what does this mean?"

Given her status, can anyone just "watch" her?

Does Li Wen think that he can be so presumptuous just because he treated her a few times?

Her eyes were slightly cold, her fingertips slowly tightened in her sleeves, but a gentle smile still hung on her face:

"Master Li, do I need someone else to help me understand my pulse?"

Facing the questioning of Concubine Ruan Yunheng, Li Wen bowed with neither arrogance nor servility:

"Please don't blame me, Your Majesty. The person next to me is my junior sister, and her medical skills are no less than mine.

Bringing her along today is an extra layer of protection for the Madam's illness. After all, Junior Sister is a woman, so she can investigate more of the condition than a commoner."

Having said this, Concubine Ruan Yunheng remained silent, as if she was thinking about Li Wen's words.

Ren Qingzhou, who was sitting in his original position, suddenly chuckled and lowered his eyes to look at his slightly red palms: "If your Majesty does not wish, we will leave now."

After saying that, Ren Qingzhou stood up and waved to Qiao Xi: "Little Junior Sister, it's a rare opportunity to come to the palace. Go out for a walk with Third Senior Brother."

"it is good!"

She had not intended to enter the palace today, so she did not care whether she could take the pulse of Concubine Ruan Yunheng.

When she heard her third senior brother calling her, she immediately responded with a smile.

Seeing them like this, Ruan Yunheng instantly forgot his previous hesitation and said quickly, "Wait a minute!"

Just as Ren Qingzhou paused, he continued, "Since you are here, let this young lady take my pulse."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qian first looked at Ren Qingzhou, and when she saw him nod, she looked at her senior brother Li Wen.

After seeing him nod, she rolled up her sleeves and came to Concubine Ruan Yunheng.

He placed three fingers on Ruan Yunheng's wrist, and after just a moment, her pupils shrank slightly - the pulse was as thin as a thread, clearly a congenital deficiency.

"Big Brother, Third Brother, go over there and have some tea first. I want to talk to the Empress."

Ren Qingzhou and Li Wen are both doctors and men. Although they know that in the eyes of doctors, there is no distinction between men and women, but after all, Ruan Yunheng is the concubine in the harem, so it is better for them to stay away from her.

The two nodded in tacit understanding, agreeing with Qiao Xi's wishes.

Seeing that the two of them were farther away, Qiao Xi looked at Concubine Ruan Yunheng and continued,

"Madam, do you suffer from splitting headaches every time you have your period?"

Ruan Yunheng raised her eyelids, a little surprised: "You do have some real skills!"

"That's not all. Your Majesty, your kidney water is insufficient to support your heart fire, and your liver blood is unable to nourish your meridians." She pulled out a celadon bottle from her bosom. "This is Snow Frog Poria Pills, supplemented with Astragalus."

Everyone saw her take out a red porcelain bottle from her arms at some point.

"This is a health-preserving ointment made from precious medicinal herbs. Your Majesty needs to take it alternately."

Concubine Ruan Yunheng gave a look, and without her having to do anything, the palace maid behind her stepped forward and took the two porcelain bottles given by Qiao Xi.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, and her fingertips trembled almost imperceptibly when they touched the palace maid's hand: the two bottles of medicine contained a mixture of pills made from the spiritual water and spiritual medicine in her space, as well as pills made from ordinary water and medicinal materials.

In this way, the medicine will have some effect, but not too obvious, and should not arouse the suspicion of Concubine Ruan Yunheng.

Ruan Yunheng watched the palace maid take the medicine and then smiled and said:

"Thank you girl."

"Someone, come and serve the girl some tea!"

Upon hearing the order, the palace maid who had been waiting by the side hurriedly handed over the teacup.

But at this moment, Qiao Xi was just standing up and didn't notice the teacup being handed to her, and the teacup hit her shoulder directly.

The palace maid seemed surprised as well. Her slender wrist was suddenly scalded by the hot tea splashing from the teacup. Instinctively, she let go of the teacup.

So most of the tea instantly spilled onto Qiao Xi's clothes.

Seeing this, the palace maid hurried to wipe the tea that had spilled on Qiao Xi's clothes.

Not wanting to panic, he hooked his nails on the silk scarf Qiao Xi was using to cover her face...
