Chapter 523： Don't say anything

Chapter 523 Don’t say anything

The heart and spleen are deficient, the heart and liver fire are strong, and there is heat in the upper part and cold in the lower part.

The most terrible thing is that years of excessive thinking have led to the deficiency of the five internal organs...

Wei Ruo didn't say anything for a long time, and the emperor didn't bother her. He just looked at her with a kind and admiring look.

 After a while, Wei Ruo took his hand back.

Then he took advantage of himself and explained to the emperor: "I think the emperor can take that tonic."

“Do you know how many procedures are required to give me the medicine?” The emperor looked at Wei Ruo and asked intentionally.

“I don’t know, but I can guarantee that this medicine is beneficial and harmless to the Emperor.”

Wei Ruo spoke with certainty and his tone was determined.

 Eunuch Gao on the side was still frowning, looking worried.

"Okay, then I will give your medicine a try." The emperor agreed.

Hearing this, Wei Ruo took out the medicine bottle that had been prepared long ago from his arms and presented it with both hands: "I have made this medicine into pills. You only need to take them with warm water, three times a day, one pill each time."

Eunuch Gao quickly stopped him: "Princess Rui, this is unreasonable! Why don't you write down the formula of this medicine and give it to the Taiyuan Hospital for careful study, and then they will prepare the medicine personally, and then have it tested by a dedicated person to confirm that it is correct. Then it will be handed over to the emperor for consumption."

Eunuch Gao wanted to dissuade her from the beginning, but when he heard that Wei wanted to directly offer the finished pills, he could no longer hold back.

 Where can I get the medicine for the emperor? If something goes wrong, who can afford it?

The emperor raised his hand and interrupted Eunuch Gao: "It's okay, I believe in Princess Rui."

 "Your Majesty..." Eunuch Gao looked worried.

 This is inconsistent with etiquette! And this is too risky!

“Bring Princess Rui’s medicine.” The emperor asked directly without giving Eunuch Gao any time to stop her.

Eunuch Gao reluctantly accepted the order and took the medicine bottle from Wei Ruo's hand, his expression still full of worry and uneasiness.

The emperor took the bottle, looked at it twice, and then said: "It's just that the princess cannot mention this to the public for the time being. I don't want anyone to know that I am taking medicine, and I don't want anyone to know that the medicine I am taking comes from Prince Rui's Mansion. You Do you understand?"

Wei Ruo was slightly surprised. She didn't know why the emperor had no objection to her donating medicine, but specifically told her not to let outsiders know.

Of course Wei Ruo also hoped that this matter would not be made public, and what the emperor said was exactly what she wanted.

 “I, my concubine, obey the decree.” Wei Ruo replied.

"Yi'er is rarely in good spirits today. Come and have dinner with me." The emperor then said to Wei Jinyi.

 “The sons and ministers receive the decree.”

The emperor left Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo to have dinner with him, during which he said a lot of things about Wei Jinyi's daily life.

For a few moments, Wei Ruo felt that the person asking the question was not the emperor, but an ordinary father caring about his son who had been away from home for a long time.

And sometimes Wei Ruo felt that the emperor's eyes were not looking at Wei Jinyi, but looking through him at another person he had missed for a long time.

 After dinner, seeing that it was getting dark, the emperor let Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo leave.

After the two left, the emperor asked Eunuch Gao to pour warm water for him, took out the pills from the porcelain bottle, and took them with warm water as Wei Ruo had instructed.

 The emperor then put away the medicine bottle and told Gao Gongjing: "Today, Prince Rui and his wife sent medicine to me. Don't let any news about it."

"Our family has received the decree." Eunuch Gao replied, paused, and then hesitantly asked the question in his mind, "Your Majesty, our family doesn't know, why does the Emperor do this? What if this medicine..."

“If this medicine is poisonous, I will admit it.” The emperor murmured.

Eunuch Gao was suddenly startled and looked at the emperor in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

 “Stay back.” The emperor did not give Eunuch Gao any time to be surprised. "Yes." Eunuch Gao had no choice but to retreat.

Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also rode out of the palace in a sedan, until Lin Fang's voice came from outside the sedan.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we are outside.”

Wei Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned around and asked Wei Jinyi: "Why did the emperor specifically tell me not to make any announcement today? I don't want to make it public, but why would the emperor have such an idea?"

"I don't know, I don't understand him very well." Wei Jinyi couldn't give a clear answer to this question.

“The saying that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable is true.” Wei Ruo said with emotion, “When I faced him today, I was so nervous that my palms became sweaty.”

“Ruo’er did a good job, and I couldn’t tell he was nervous at the time.”

"I must be nervous. The Emperor is someone who can behead me with just one word! You said that if I really **** him off and he wants to behead me, what can I do? Should I be more nervous or cautious?" Wei Ruo said in a slightly playful tone.

Seeing this, Wei Jin couldn't help but smile.

“Second brother, why are you laughing?” Wei Ruo asked.

 Wei Jin, who was caught, stopped talking and replied in a low voice: "I'm obviously very nervous, but I still insist on going to see the emperor. Sometimes Ruo'er is both strong and timid."

"No, in the final analysis, I cherish my life. Whether I am timid or insist on going to see the emperor, it is all to save my little life."

Wei Jin also responded: "I will protect you."

　　The voice was not loud, but the tone was unusually firm, which made people feel inexplicably reassured.

 “Hmm.” Wei Ruo responded.

 Then Wei Jin also asked Wei Ruo a question: "How did Ruo'er prepare the medicine in advance?"

Wei Ruo has great medical skills, but he does not have the ability to predict the future. The rhetoric Wei Ruo used in front of the emperor could not convince Wei Jinyi.

"I have met the emperor before, and I have a rough idea of ​​his illness by looking at his face, the whites of his eyes, and the subtle movements of his hands and feet. But I haven't diagnosed his pulse yet, so I can't be completely sure, so I took a gamble. , I made several tonics that I think are most suitable for him to take, and I brought them all with me, and after feeling the pulse, I gave him the one that was most suitable for him."

 Speaking, Wei Ruo took out five bottles from his sleeves. Counting the one given to the emperor, there were six bottles in total.

 In fact, Wei Ruo said a little less. Her judgment of the emperor's condition was not only based on their meeting at the last Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, but also some descriptions in the original book.

 But even so, Wei Ruo can only make a rough guess, so he still needs to make many preparations.

“What if none of the last six are suitable?” Wei Jin also asked.

"Then I'd say it's not suitable, but I think another prescription left by Dr. Xu may be useful." Wei Ruo replied.

 “Ruoer is smart.” Wei Jin also smiled.

 “To each other.”

 Wei Ruo leaned on the soft cushion, her voice already a little lazy.

“It’s still a long way to the palace, so take a rest first,” Wei Jin also said.

 “Yeah.” Wei Ruo responded, then closed his eyes to rest.

 Beside Wei Jinyi, she acted very relaxed and at ease.

Seeing him curled up on the soft cushion like a kitten, Wei Jinyi felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
