6, opportunity(1/2)
Suddenly, lightning and thunder were roaring.
The sound of thunder seemed to tear the dark sky apart, which was only shocking. The broken-line rain instantly turned into a torrential rain.
Rong Xi's heart seemed to be about to jump into his throat.
She originally knelt down and rubbed Mu Huai's legs without distraction. But he suddenly became angry, and she could not react in a good way, and her whole body was almost poured on his legs.
Mu Huai's strength was so strong that she felt that his wrist bone was about to be broken.
"Your Highness..."
Mu Huai looked at Rong Xi coldly for a while before letting go of her.
Rong Xi fell to the ground weakly, feeling the heartbeat like a drum, but his mind was still awake.
--"go out."
Mu Huai suppressed the pain in his legs and said again.
"yes."
Mu Huai is the master who has the worst temper and the most violent temperament when Rong Xi serves. She is mentally prepared when she enters Quyun Palace.
People like him have never been angry for no reason.
Since she was asked to get out, she could no longer be upset in front of him.
If you say one more thing, the evil master in front of you will probably take her life.
Thinking of this, Rong Xi kowtowed respectfully to Mu Huai with a gloomy face, not daring to ask why he suddenly became angry. After getting up, he immediately walked away from the bedroom.
Shunfu stood outside the bedroom. When he heard the movement inside, he saw Rong Xi running out in a hurry, and was sweating.
Rong Xi was still in lingering fear, Shunfu comforted her and said, "Miss, after she went back to rest, her highness had a bad leg, and her temper would always be bigger than usual."
Rong Xi closed his eyes and nodded, stroked his heart with his hands, trying to calm down his heartbeat.
Today, she was scared by Mu Huai, and she probably would have to spend one month's birthday.
Shunfu saw that Rong Xi's expression was a little panicked, but he did not show grievance or reluctance.
If a girl of her age meets a rude master like Mu Huai and is scolded for no reason, she will definitely have a few golden beans falling on her eyes when she turns red.
After Rong Xi returned, he felt a deep sense of crisis.
She knew her situation. With her identity, once she entered the Yongxi Forbidden City, her life would be at the mercy of these nobles of the Tian family.
If Mu Huai wants to kill her, it is as simple as killing an ant.
Since she followed Mu Huai by chance, if she wanted to survive in this palace, there would be only one way.
That is to serve Mu Huai well and be his most capable palace maid.
If she did not gain Mu Huai's trust, the worst result would be to be killed, then she was carried out of Quyun Palace horizontally and then thrown into a mass grave outside the forbidden city.
The result is that it is being driven out of Quyun Palace.
But once she was driven out, she would lose Mu Huai's protection, and Mu Qian would definitely find a way to find her trouble, and she would be unable to help but die.
Rong Xi's eyes became heavier.
In order to survive in this palace, no matter what method is used, she must gain Mu Huai's trust.
The next morning.
Rong Xi got up early as usual and prepared to go to Hanlin Academy with Mu Huai.
The autumn rain fell all night last night and has not stopped yet.
Rong Xi sat quietly in the room, waiting for Shunfu to call her, but the sound of bells and drums in Zirui Palace rang twice, and Shunfu did not come to find her.
She was slightly shocked, afraid that she would be driven out of Quyun Palace because of what happened yesterday.
Just as she got up and was about to find Shunfu, a little eunuch who was soaked in the rain knocked on the door and said, "Aunt Rong, Your Highness is sick. Master Shunfu asked me to inform you, saying that you don't need to accompany you to Hanlin Academy today."
Rong Xi replied: "I understand, thank you for this trip."
Mu Huai is sick?
Rong Xi was a little surprised and breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Huai's illness was really strange. When she rubbed his legs yesterday, she also felt that his legs were a bit strange.
It is said that this disabled person will feel uncomfortable on rainy days, but the discomfort is at most pancreatic and swelling.
But when she looked at Mu Huai's expression yesterday, she felt as if she had been stabbed by a needle.
Rong Xi decided to go to Shunfu to ask Mu Huai about his condition, so he took an umbrella out of the room.
When I arrived outside the bedroom, I was about to run into the imperial physician He Shunfu talking. Shunfu's face was as sick as ever, but today I looked a little anxious and heavy.
The imperial physician Rong Xi recognized that he was the most experienced and skilled doctor Xu in Yongxi Palace.
Shunfu asked worriedly: "Your Highness has been suffering from fever since yesterday's Shishi. This morning, the fever has not subsided, and now he is in a coma. Last night, I also asked the servants to go to the Imperial Hospital to prescribe a prescription for relieving fever, but it has not improved at all. If the high fever remains unsuccessful tonight, what should I do?"
Doctor Xu replied: "...If you use this prescription, the fever will not go away... then you have to use that method."
Shunfu hurriedly asked, "What method?"
Doctor Xu stroked his beard and said, "Look for someone to soak in ice water, then sleep with His Highness in conjunction with his clothes, and let the palace fall down all night to see if the fever can be subsided the next day."
"this......"
Shunfu paused slightly and replied, "Okay, if your highness's fever remains unabated tonight, then follow the method of Doctor Xu."
After Shunfu personally sent Doctor Xu out of Quyun Palace, he went into the room to check Mu Huai's condition. Mu Huai was locked in his black eyebrows, his forehead was still hot, and he was unconscious.
Rong Xi had been standing outside the bedroom, waiting for Shunfu to leave the hall, and hurriedly asked Shunfu: "Dude, is your highness better?"
Shunfu shook his head and said to Rong Xi: "I'm afraid I'll have to find someone to be in cold water tonight."
He wanted to cool down Mu Huai himself, but his current physical condition was so hot that he would die if he was soaked in the rain.
But if you look for a eunuch in the palace...
Mu Huai has always hated the touch of outsiders and must punish the eunuch after waking up.
The eunuch's fate was also tragic. He soaked in ice water for his master in late autumn, and finally he ended up being sent underground by Mu Huai to see the King of Hell.
Shunfu looked at Rong Xi's thin body, shook his head again, giving up the idea of letting her soak in cold water.
The girl's house, even the servants and palace maids, was still weak, and she must sit down after being soaked in cold water.
If you have a good heart, you can only lose your life now.
He said again: "If your highness's fever remains unchanged tonight, then just find a rough eunuch who is soaked in cold water to relieve your highness."
After hearing this, Rong Xi clenched his fists quietly.
She kept thinking last night how to find the opportunity to make Mu Huai trust her.
Now that Muhuai's high fever does not fade, it is a rare opportunity.
Rong Xi was not sure if she could win his trust by immersing in cold water to relieve Mu Huai’s fever, but she couldn’t let go of such a good opportunity, so she could only take a gamble.
"Old Master Shunfu."
Rong Xi called Shunfu, and when he saw that he was puzzled, he said earnestly: "Dadfather, if the high fever of Your Highness will not subside after the night... Then let me soak the cold water for Your Highness."
After hearing this, Shunfu waved his hands repeatedly and said to Rong Xi: "Girl, this is not a joke... If you can't stand it halfway through the bait and lose your money, you will not say anything wrong with your daughter's family. You should know without me saying it."
Rong Xi bit her lip.
Yes, of course she knew it.
But what is more important than living? If Mu Huai doesn't trust her, then she will have difficulty in surviving in this Yongxi Palace.
I can only fight one.
Rong Xi's tone became more and more solemn and sincere: "I know everything, but my body is not worth mentioning compared to the life of your highness. If my father-in-law thinks that I will give up halfway, let me try it first. If I can't show up again, it will be time to replace others."
Shunfu looked up and down at Rong Xi, and saw that she insisted, it would be difficult to dispel her enthusiasm.
He felt that Rong Xiding would not last long. When the little girl couldn't stand it, she would give up after the trouble, and he would change to a eunuch to baptize.
By the hour of You, the sky in Bianjing gradually became gloomy.
Muhuai's high fever has not subsided. Shunfu has already ordered people to prepare a large jar of cold water, and there are still a lot of ice cubes floating inside.
The autumn rain has stopped, and the accumulated water on the bluestone floor reflects the bright moonlight.
Shunfu asked Rong Xi again: "Miss is sure you have thought about it? If you are unwell in the middle, tell me in time."
Shunfu agreed to let Rong Xi dip in the cold water for another reason. He wanted Rong Xi to understand that some things should not be done.
When the little girl is soaked in cold water, it is time to learn some lessons.
Rong Xi looked calm and replied, "I have thought about it."
After saying that, without a moment of hesitation, he took the wooden basin from the little eunuch and scooped out some ice water from the tank. Under Shunfu's gaze, he splashed it from his shoulders without blinking.
The water was extremely cold and ice, and Rong Xi was immediately trembling with cold.
Shun Fujing waited for Rong Xi to say he wanted to give up.
