"The fish in the pond have pink eye, so I asked Xiaoying to find some medicine." Wen Yuan lied with his eyes open.
"Pink eye?"
"Ah."
"Let the maids below do it. Sakura's job is to serve you well."
Wen Yuan couldn't tell whether Li Zhaoyu was dissatisfied with Xiaoying. This incident reminded her that if Xiaoying did some things personally, it would be very risky, so she had to be removed.
But now in Yonghe Palace, the only person she trusts is Xiaoying. The abortion medicine is of great importance and must not be known to a third person.
Wen Yuan was suddenly in a dilemma.
Just as she was distracted, Li Zhao suddenly picked her up and walked towards the bedroom.
Li Zhao has handsome eyebrows, broad shoulders and long legs. In his arms, Wen Yuan can feel the muscular lines in his arms and his bulging chest.
When Wen Yuan saw Li Zhao for the first time, he was so fascinated that he could hardly open his eyes.
Wen Yuan, who had been single since birth, had a huge and brilliant firework bloomed in her mind when she heard that she would become this man's salvation.
This is the real prince of the Beijing circle. Moreover, Li Zhao has a face that can be called divine.
Her first reaction was that this was clearly taking advantage.
Put aside your feelings and just enjoy it first.
Facts have proved that her idea was correct. Li Zhao was excellent in all aspects. He was good at both civil and military affairs, resourceful and well-planned, even in bed.
Their sexual life had always been harmonious, and they were very familiar with each other's sensitive spots. Wen Yuan didn't know what other couples were like, but she knew that Li Zhao had driven her to the brink of death, often requiring her to beg for mercy in order for him to slow down.
Wen Yuan leaned on Li Zhao's chest, listening to his steady breathing, and the scenes of the past passed by before his eyes like a quick tour.
Just as he was daydreaming, Wen Yuan was tucked into the bed by Li Zhao, with his head resting on his thigh.
The long, soft hair was still dripping with water, wetting Li Zhao's trouser legs.
He didn't care at all. He took the towel from the palace maid and patiently wiped Wen Yuan's hair.
This kind of situation had happened many times before in the Eastern Palace.
The conditions were poor at that time. We didn’t have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, let alone a bath a day.
But Wen Yuan loves cleanliness, and he must take a bath within a week in winter.
Without any servants, Li Zhao personally drew water from the well, heated it in a large iron pot, and carried it bucket by bucket into the bedroom. The bedroom was separated from the kitchen by several corridors. Even though Li Zhao had practiced martial arts, his arms were sore and swollen after doing this several times.
There is a warm room in the East Palace, but they have no charcoal fire. The firewood picked up in the yard has to be kept for making fire for cooking and heating. The warm room is useless, and the bedroom can only serve as a shelter from wind and rain.
On a freezing winter day, Wen Yuan was shivering with cold after taking off his clothes. It took him a long time to recover after getting into the bathtub.
Li Zhao was right there helping her add water, wash her hair, and massage her. For many years, Li Zhao did what the palace maids used to do.
Every time after taking a shower, Li Zhao would wipe her hair, just like now.
The temperature in the warm room of Yonghe Palace was high. After a while, Wen Yuan's hair was half dry and his body felt warm and comfortable.
Wen Yuan fell asleep. Maybe it was because she was pregnant, she was always sleepy.
Li Zhao kissed her forehead and waited until Wen Yuan's hair was completely dry before he gently moved her onto the pillow.
After leaving the warm room, Li Zhao walked towards the study. At this time, Eunuch Zhou, the imperial physician, the royal doctor and the prefect were waiting outside the door.
It was already dark, the lanterns under the eaves swayed in the wind, the candlelight flickered, and fell on the ground, lengthening the shadows of the hurried passers-by.
It was just one day, a period of twelve hours that should have been ordinary, but many unexpected events happened.
Princess Ruiping passed away, and the imperial concubine became pregnant.
One is sad and the other is happy. The passing of one life is accompanied by the arrival of another life. Fate is so incredible.
"Sir, please come in." Eunuch Zhou opened the door of the study and said to the prefect who was waiting outside.
The prefect had been waiting outside for a long time, his hands and feet stiff from the cold. After hearing the news, he stepped into the study.
Li Zhao and the prefect talked in the study for a long time until the legs of the imperial physician and the royal doctor were almost paralyzed and they had no feeling, and then the door of the study was opened again.
Sakura hid outside the study corridor, pricked up her ears and listened hard, but she was too far away to hear a single word the doctor said as he blew the cold wind at the door.
"Ha." She rubbed her hands and exhaled. The soles of her feet had turned into ice. If she didn't move, her legs would be broken.
There are many people in the palace today, and it would be terrible if someone discovered her. Sakura could only return to the warm room first.
After entering the house, Xiaoying found that there were more servants in the house than before, and there were a few familiar faces who used to serve in Suhe Hall.
"Sister Sakura." Seeing her come in, the others put down their work and greeted Sakura.
"Well, is the queen asleep?"
"Yes."
Xiaoying tiptoed into the bedroom and just as she stuck her head out, she was stopped by Wen Yuan.
"My queen, you're awake." Sakura closed the bedroom door and walked to the bed.
Wen Yuan felt much better after a good sleep.
"Sakura, sit closer. I have something to tell you."
Xiaoying came to the bed and squatted down: "My lady, please speak."
Nowadays, there are many gossipy people in Yonghe Palace, and the people Li Zhao transferred here are probably here to monitor Wen Yuan.
She no longer had the freedom to speak or act freely, and she didn't trust anyone except Sakura.
"Where did you put the abortion medicine?" Wen Yuan lowered his voice.
When Xiaoying heard about the abortion drug, her face turned unnatural. She leaned close to Wen Yuan's ear nervously and whispered, "I hid it. No one knows where it is."
"Where is it hidden?"
"There's a niche in the slave room where I can hide. No one will find me."
Wen Yuan knew the alcove that Xiaoying mentioned. It used to contain a portrait of her brother, but later the portrait was damaged by a mouse, and when she went to see it, only a pile of paper scraps was left.
Sakura cried for several days because of this.
Her brother died of an epidemic not long after he entered the palace, and the portrait was the only memory Sakura had.
"Little fool, aren't you afraid of being eaten by mice?" Wen Yuan teased her.
"My lady, mice are very clever. The herbs are so bitter, but they are not that stupid."
Having said that, Sakura was still a little worried.
"My lady, how about I take another look?"
"Wait, has the emperor left?"
"No, the emperor has summoned a number of people and is in the study right now."
Xiaoying told Wen Yuan everything she saw.
Wen Yuan understood.
"The abortion drug is hidden in the niche. Don't touch it. The imperial physician is here. Don't act rashly."
Imperial physicians deal with medicinal herbs all day long and can accurately analyze the medicinal properties of each herb. Some herbs may have similar shapes and colors after drying, but their flavors may vary greatly.
The cotton cloth that Madam Li used to wrap the aconite was stained with the smell of aconite for a long time, which is why it was recognized.
The abortion medicine is in the small enclosed space of the alcove, and it will leave a smell over time.
If she is discovered, Sakura will be held responsible and her life will probably remain in the palace.
Before Wen Yuan escapes, he paves the way for Xiaoying.
She bought a small house for Xiaoying in Xijing and deposited money in a bank to ensure that Xiaoying would have no worries about food and clothing in her life.
