After coming out of the inner room of the dormitory, everyone's eyes focused on Zhao Ling again. However, Zhao Ling only glanced in the direction of Meng Yuan through the corner of her eyes very briefly, seeing that he was still indifferent and didn't even look at her.
She didn't know what tricks this fellow was performing, Zhao Ling pouted. But she believed that he must have his intentions for doing this, and since that was the case, she would just go along with it.
Queen Duanjing asked the question first. "How is the emperor?"
Eunuch Li knelt on the ground and replied excitedly: "Qi Niangniang, after Miss Zhao's silver needle blood pricking treatment, the emperor's asthma has improved, and his complexion has returned to normal. She said that as long as Doctor Wang continue to take care of the emperor, the emperor's condition will return to normal."
Silver needle blood? Zhao Ling's mouth twitched, feeling that this statement was quite appropriate. Eunuch Li was really talented!
"So, is the royal father all right?" asked the seventh prince Meng Tianyan, who had been silent for a while, but the person who he directed the question to was Zhao Ling. Unlike the eldest prince Meng Tianluo, the seventh prince had a clear voice, bright eyes, and looked a lot more sunny.
Zhao Ling lowered her head and replied, "Respect to the seventh prince, the emperor's auspicious person and celestial appearance are expected to be fine. It's just that he hasn't woken up yet, so we need to observe him for another night."
She dared not speak too much. However, according to the diagnosis just now, Emperor Ming seemed to be in good health and should be able to survive.
"I thought that Miss Zhao's medical skills were very good, but it's taking her a long time to heal my father, and It turns out that my father has not woken up yet. It seems that the rumors in the capital are really exaggerated." Princess Yaohua's face was full of disdain.
"Yaohua, don't talk nonsense!" Queen Duanjing gave her a stern look. This girl was really spoiled, and her speech was becoming more and more irregular.
"Queen Mother, you actually scold me for this woman?" Princess Yaohua's pretty face collapsed and she cried out in grievance, not forgetting to goug out at Zhao Ling.
Zhao Ling was too lazy to deal with such a rude and unreasonable little girl who happened to be a princess. She lowered her head, raised her eyebrows and kept silent.
"I just heard that Miss Zhao said that the father needs to be observed for one night. So just in case, I will invite Miss Zhao to accompany him for one night tonight. I wonder what Miss Zhao thinks?" This time, it was the third prince Meng Tianjue who spoke up.
This Meng Tianjue looked like he had never been exposed to the sun all the year round, with excessively fair skin and a bit of powdery air. If it wasn't for his thick voice, Zhao Ling would have thought he was a woman.
Sure enough, this guy Meng Yuan was more pleasing to the eye. she thought to herself.
As for escorting for one night, since everyone in power has spoken, did she have the right to refuse?
"The minister's daughters should do her best. I just asked His Royal Highness to send someone to inform the government minister, so as not to worry about the family member of theirs." Meng Tianjue pursed her lips and smiled, "Miss Zhao is really thoughtful and considerate in her work."
"I thank the third prince for his praise." When Zhao Ling bowed her head and thanked, she couldn't help but spit it out in her heart. Eating a moat grews one's wisdom. If she didn't think about it more carefully, would it be possible that she still wanted to get another twenty sticks of beating?
"Since the emperor has nothing to do, the concubines will retire first." As if she could not bear it any longer, Concubine Li, who had been sitting quietly on the seat and watching silently, suddenly stood up, gave a hasty bow to Empress Duanjing, and turned around to leave.
For a while, she was wearing jingle bells and swaying robes. She was indeed an elegant and graceful peerless beauty. It was no wonder that she was able to stand out among the three thousand beauties in the harem and became the favorite concubine of Emperor Ming.
When she passed by Zhao Ling, the fragrance from Concubine Li's body made Zhao Ling's nose itch. No way, since she was a child, she had a very sensitive nose and was allergic to some perfumes. She quickly held her breath so that she would not retort to sneezing.
Sneezing in front of this group of people should be a crime of disrespect.
Concubine Li walked slowly, walking by Meng Yuan's side, her footsteps stopped for a while, and then she started to leave.
Zhao Ling's eyes flashed. Could it be that there was something between Concubine Li and Meng Yuan that she didn't know about?
However, Meng Yuan took a deep look at Zhao Ling at this moment. That look was mixed with self-blame, distress, pity, worry, and longing.
Zhao Ling lowered her head, the corners of her mouth curved, revealing a reassuring smile.
At night, the Funing Hall became more and more quiet and peaceful, and the incense in the sleeping hall wafted a drowsy smell. Zhao Ling sat beside Emperor Ming's dragon bed, leaning against the bedpost and closed her eyes.
A fresh breeze blew through the window, slightly dissipating the turbid air in the room. The window was opened by Zhao Ling insisting that Eunuch Li opened it. If the windows and doors were kept tightly closed and the air couldn't circulate, even healthy people would get sick.
The queen and several princes and princesses had already returned to the palace to rest. Meng Yuan was also pushed by Situ Gong and went to the place where he was staying in the palace. Several palace maids were called by Zhao Ling to wait outside the palace.
Therefore, at this moment, there were only Zhao Ling, Eunuch Li, and of course Emperor Ming lying on the bed in the huge bedroom.
So what about the honor of the ninety-five, and what about the world? In Zhao Ling's opinion, the emperor was actually the most lonely and pitiful person in the world. However, people in the world often find it difficult to resist the temptation of fame and fortune.
If nothing else, among the princes of Emperor Ming alone, Zhao Ling dared to conclude that everyone had their own careful thoughts, and she believed that there was no real concern for Emperor Ming's health.
It was that she didn't know why Meng Yuan's attitude was so strange today? What happened to him after entering the palace yesterday?
"Who are you?" Suddenly, a low and majestic shout interrupted Zhao Ling's thought and the silence of the chamber.
Zhao Ling was startled and recovered from her shock, only to see that Emperor Ming had opened his eyes on the dragon bed, his face full of majesty, and staring at her with burning eyes.
Next to her, Eunuch Li was already kneeling on the ground with a thud, shouting excitedly, "Your Majesty, you are awake, it's great, this old slave greets you."
Zhao Ling could only kneel down and kowtow. "Zhao Ling, the eldest daughter of Duke Zhao Jiang, see the emperor."
"You are Zhao Ling." When Emperor Ming heard the words, his tone softened a lot, and he gestured to Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li immediately stepped forward, helped Emperor Ming to sit up, and put a cushion on his back, allowing Emperor Ming to lean on the head of the bed comfortably.
Emperor Ming looked at her up and down, and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Isn't it rumored that you were burned and disfigured by fire, why are you so beautiful?"
Unexpectedly, this emperor was quite a gossip. Zhao Ling smiled secretly and replied: "Respect to the emperor, the face of the minister's daughter was indeed burned by fire, but it was cured on Wuji Island a few days ago."
Emperor Ming nodded. "So the things that are circulating in the capital about you and Wuji are all true? You also cured my illness?"
In front of the emperor, Zhao Ling certainly did not dare to take credit. "It's the emperor's blessings in the sky, and the minister's daughter is just doing her best."
Eunuch Li served in front of Emperor Ming for many years, and naturally he could hear the emperor's admiration for Zhao Ling. So he explained the process of how Zhao Ling healed him in detail. Emperor Mingde nodded again and again, and looked at Zhao Ling with a bit of kindness in his eyes.
Zhao Ling was horrified by the words of Eunuch Li at this time. His eloquence was so good, that he was putting all the pressure on her. She really wanted to explain to Emperor Ming that her medical skills were not so great as Eunuch Li was saying, but she knew that if she spoke too much, she would lose, and at this time, silence was gold.
"Eunuch Li has praised me wrongly, and the minister's daughter is ashamed." Zhao Ling quickly lowered her head, showing a look of sincerity and fear.
Appropriate modesty was still necessary.
At this time, the maid outside the hall reported.. "Concubine Xian is here to see the emperor."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
