Chapter 43

Position

In Jingshou Palace, the moon is in the middle of the sky.

"Every time we go out of the palace, we make such a fuss! What good is there outside the palace?" Aunt Fanghua rarely lost her temper.

As she spoke, she anxiously examined the wound on Ye Qinghuai's neck.

"No more bleeding, right?" Ye Qinghuai sat on a wooden chair and tilted her neck so that Aunt Fanghua could check easily.

Aunt Fanghua frowned and looked carefully. There seemed to be clotted blood scabs in the blood, but she couldn't tell whether the bleeding was completely gone. She didn't dare to touch it for fear of damaging the wound.

Qin Baozhu stood aside all the time. She held her right arm and looked at Ye Qinghuai with some solemn eyes.

Ye Qinghuai had known her for so long, and this was the first time he saw her looking so serious. She probably didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing as soon as she entered the palace.

Ye Qinghuai lowered his head with some remorse and said: "I am the emperor, and I want to save someone, but I still have to save my life and beg him hard. It makes you laugh."

After saying that, she squeezed out a wry smile from the corner of her mouth.

Qin Baozhu suddenly knelt down with a plop. Tears came to her eyes and she choked with sobs: "Your Majesty saved your life with your life, and the daughter of the people is deeply touched by it. Please don't take such a risk for the daughter of the people again in the future."

Ye Qinghuai sighed softly and said: "I don't have much ability, and I may not be able to protect Jiuzhou Wanfang. But I can still think of ways to protect the people around me. Get up quickly, and let grandpa come next week and let him protect you."

Look, why did they hit you so hard?"

Qin Baozhu was about to answer when rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

Zhou Shou was so busy when he arrived. He entered the house and closed the door. He ignored Qin Baozhu who was kneeling aside and walked straight to Ye Qinghuai. At a glance, he saw blood on the left side of her neck.

"Get a smaller ice brick and a clean hand towel." Zhou Shou put down the medicine box and said to Aunt Fanghua.

Ye Qinghuai saw that he was facing a formidable enemy and said, "It's not serious. Grandpa Zhou, please check her first. She hurt her arm."

With that said, she gestured to Zhou Shouyi and Qin Baozhu with her eyes.

Zhou Shouyi ignored her and stepped forward to brush away the hair on the side of her neck and examine her wounds.

"You can't tell whether it's a serious problem or not." Zhou Shouyi said with a frown. He cleaned the wound with potion and made sure it was not deep. Then he took out a clean patch of medicine from the medicine box and sprinkled it on it.

A thick layer of light yellow medicinal powder was applied. He held the medicinal patch in one hand and brushed away the loose powder on Ye Qinghuai's neck with the other hand. In the blink of an eye, he skillfully applied the patch to Ye Qinghuai's wound, leaving almost no medicinal powder.

Sprinkle down.

"Hold it!" He motioned to Ye Qinghuai to hold the patch for him, his tone containing deep-seated anger.

Ye Qinghuai immediately followed the instructions honestly.

"You have become more capable, and you have learned how to wipe your neck?" Zhou Shouyi said while packing his things.

Ye Qinghuai did not argue, but instead smiled apologetically and gestured to him in the direction of Qin Baozhu.

Zhou Shou turned around to look at Qin Baozhu and looked directly at the right arm that Qin Baozhu was holding.

He walked to Qin Baozhu and said, "Sit down. How can I show you kneeling like this?"

Qin Baozhu wiped the corners of his eyes with his left hand, stood up and sat down on a chair on the side.

Zhou Shou took out a pair of scissors from the medicine box and was about to cut off the clothes on Qin Baozhu's shoulders. Before cutting off the scissors, he said to Qin Baozhu: "We can't keep these clothes."

Qin Baozhu hesitated for a moment and nodded.

After asking, Zhou Shou turned to look at Ye Qinghuai out of the corner of his eye and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you need to avoid it?"

Ye Qinghuai was stunned for a moment and said: "No need. I will give her a position tomorrow."

Zhou Shouyi's eyes widened, and he turned around to look at Ye Qinghuai. His eyes were full of surprise, and even his breathing became rapid.

Seeing that he was about to have an attack, Ye Qinghuai said first, "Cure her first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Full of questions, Zhou Shouyi turned around and cut off Qin Baozhu's clothes. After checking, he asked Qin Baozhu with some surprise and admiration: "Don't you feel pain?"

"A little pain."

"It hurts a little?" Zhou Shouyi emphasized the word "a little" and said, "Your whole arm is out of joint. It's a shame that you can persist for so long without changing your expression."

After saying that, Zhou Shouyi pressed her shoulder with one hand and supported her arm with the other. As soon as he said it, he heard a muffled sound, and Zhou Shouyi used force to connect her bones.

Qin Baozhu took a deep breath and sweated profusely from the pain.

"Okay, don't raise this arm these days." After saying that, Zhou Shouyi took out some medicated oil and applied it on her shoulders.

At this time, Aunt Fanghua came back with ice bricks and handkerchiefs. Seeing Qin Baozhu with half of her shoulders naked, she said in surprise: "Miss, wait a moment, my servant will bring you some clothes."

Zhou Shouyi took the ice brick from her hand, wrapped it in a handkerchief, handed it to Ye Qinghuai and said, "Press it on the outside of the patch and leave it on for a quarter of an hour. If the scabs fall off in a few days, I'll give you some scar removal medicine."

Come."

After finishing his work, he picked up the medicine box and left without looking back.

While Aunt Fanghua was putting clothes on Qin Baozhu, she said to Ye Qinghuai: "The Imperial Physician Zhou heard that His Majesty has left the palace. He has been staying at the Imperial Hospital today and did not even go home to drink his grandson's wedding wine. At this moment,

He just hurried back, Your Majesty, don't blame him."

"When have I ever blamed him?" After saying that, she took a sip of tea from the table and asked curiously, "Is Zhou Yi married? Whose girl is this?"

"I haven't heard anything about it from the palace. She is probably a girl from an ordinary family."

"I remember, what is the name of the little maid under your command? I remember that she and Zhou Yi are very close."

"Qingyi." Aunt Fanghua replied, her expression was a little sad, and even the movements of her hands slowed down.

Zhou Shouyi's eldest grandson, Zhou Yi, had passed the medical examination of Taiyuan Hospital last year and had excellent results. He was hired by Taiyuan Hospital. However, he only worked in the palace for a month. Zhou Shouyi came to Ye Qinghuai and asked her to be exempted.

He removed Zhou Yi from his position as a medical doctor and kicked him out of the Imperial Hospital. Although Ye Qinghuai cherished Zhou Yi's talents, he could not refuse Zhou Shouyi's plea, so he dismissed him.

"The little girl must be feeling bad." Ye Qinghuai said, "You should take care of her more recently."

"My servant thanks Your Majesty for Qingyi."

Ye Qinghuai sighed and said: "It seems that Grandpa Zhou really doesn't want the children to have anything to do with the palace. In his eyes, the harem is really like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. If it weren't for the queen, he himself would have been there long ago.

Just leave this deep palace."

She smiled softly, looked at Aunt Fanghua, and asked: "In Auntie's eyes, is the harem also like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den?"

Aunt Fanghua was startled by her question and replied: "With His Majesty in the palace, it is natural that it is Longtan. As for the tiger's den, I don't know about it, so I dare not speak nonsense."

"That's not what I meant. I'm asking you, do you think this harem is scary?"

Aunt Fanghua thought for a while and said: "With Your Majesty in the harem, the slaves will not feel scared."

Ye Qinghuai looked at her respectful look, smiled and said, "Auntie, please take off the quilt from Zhenlong's bed and spread it on the floor."

Aunt Fanghua raised her head and looked at Ye Qinghuai in surprise.

"This Miss Chen Lan will sleep in the same room as me tonight."

"His Majesty……"

"She knows everything." After Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, Aunt Fanghua and Qin Baozhu looked at each other.

"Chen Lan, Aunt Fanghua is the eldest palace maid next to me. She has watched me grow up. If you have anything you don't understand in the palace from now on, you can ask her."

Qin Baozhu saluted Aunt Fanghua.

"I originally wanted her to follow you as a personal maid, but something went wrong when entering the palace today. Now I'm afraid I have to give her a position." She thought for a moment and said, "I will grant you this title.

You must be a noble man. If you make such a fuss today, everyone in the palace will know that I love you very much. If the seal is lower, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. But if the seal is higher, I'm afraid there will be a reaction from Mr. Chen Ge."

The engagement ceremony has not yet been held, and news has spread in the harem that the emperor has brought a girl from the private sector to be his special favorite. I am afraid that Chen Yuansi's face will not be very good-looking.

Ye Qinghuai could already expect that a large number of relevant memorials would be submitted to the cabinet soon.

"By the way, aunt, prepare a piece of fallen red cloth tomorrow morning."

Qin Baozhu and Aunt Fanghua looked at Ye Qinghuai together, as if they didn't expect that she knew about this.

Ye Qinghuai smiled and said: "The queen mother told me a long time ago that I have to hide everything and sit in this position. If I don't know anything about it, it will be too dangerous."

Aunt Fanghua's face showed that happy and regretful expression again, and said: "The slave will prepare it in advance and bring it in tomorrow morning when His Majesty changes clothes."

Ye Qinghuai nodded, placed the ice bricks and handkerchief on the table, and said: "You work carefully, I won't say more. Get some rest early, we have an early morning meeting tomorrow."

Aunt Fanghua spread the bedding on the floor two steps away from the dragon bed, unwrapped Ye Qinghuai's clothes, and then left the room.

Ye Qinghuai looked at the bedding on the ground. The floor in the palace was paved with jade sandalwood. Although it would not let in the cold, it was still hard. With only this bedding on it, it would be a bit uncomfortable to sleep on it.

"I feel wronged to you."

"Your Majesty, don't say that." Qin Baozhu paused and asked, "Is your Majesty always so polite when talking to others?"

When Ye Qinghuai was asked this question, she was stunned for a moment and replied: "Absolutely. Especially when we are in Jingshou Palace."

After saying that, she lay down on the bed. She thought about it and then said, "Maybe it's because of this that I play the role of He Youwei so well."

"That's not good." Qin Baozhu said, "Your Majesty still needs to have some dignity in front of his servants. If he is too approachable, he will make them lose their respect."

She blew out the lamp, leaving only sporadic moonlight in the palace. In the darkness, Ye Qinghuai heard her lie down on the ground beside the dragon bed.

"When I was a girl, I grew up in Feicui Tower. There was a courtesan named Yun Niang. She had a very good drinking capacity, but in front of guests, she would have a headache every time she drank one or two drinks. I once asked

She, why do you pretend that you don’t know how to drink? Yun Niang told me, she said that if she does this, others will think that she is a very light drinker. Over time, she will no longer be allowed to serve wine. If she often drinks heavily

If she doesn't refuse, she will drink more and more. She doesn't like drinking, and she can't refuse outright, so that's why."

After Qin Baozhu finished speaking, he seemed to feel something was wrong and said: "The analogy of a folk girl may not be appropriate..."

"No, you are right." Ye Qinghuai said, "People will teach others how to view themselves. My behavior is indeed unworthy of dignity. To tell you the truth, to this day, I have never recognized myself in my heart.

The identity of this emperor."
