Chapter 549 - [1 more] Dress as a substitute for marriage sickness (26)
Xia Lian fell ill within a quarter of an hour after taking the medicine. Her condition was fierce, and she looked scary from the bronze mirror.
[Shaohua: Host, Xia Lian is taking medicine. 】
Xu Zifan sat in the study and looked at the sky outside the window, [It’s almost time for dinner, what is Lin Ruoshan doing? 】
[Shaohua: The queen mother has a bad appetite these few days. Lin Ruoshan is going to the small kitchen to prepare refreshing dishes for the queen mother. Yesterday the queen mother ate the side dishes she made and praised her. The emperor asked her to cook some daily, saying that she would go to the queen mother to have dinner together today. 】
Xu Zifan curled his lips, “The time is right, Changsheng, come back with Lingquan.” 】
[Changsheng: Yes, master! I will go back to find you now! 】
Longevity has been outside for a long time, and I have long missed the master. It surrounds the spring with its body, and mutters words in its mouth. It is a beast of heaven and earth, and it is even more unpredictable after following Xu Zifan, Quanyan has long wanted to recognize it as the master. As soon as it moves, the spring eye immediately enters its Sumi mustard seed, the aura in the stream is lost, and it becomes an extraordinary mountain spring.
Changsheng gave a long whistle with satisfaction, and the little emerald snake that turned into an index finger quickly disappeared in place and headed towards the capital.
Lin Ruoshan leaned on the soft couch in the small kitchen, directing the two little maids to cook, shaking lightly in her hands, her eyes full of high above.
The two little palace ladies didn’t dare to make mistakes, and prepared four refreshing side dishes tremblingly, and Shan Sheng came out to kneel down for Lin Ruoshan to taste.
Lin Ruoshan frowned in dissatisfaction, “Why it still smells like this, this little thing can’t be done well, what do I want you to do?”
The two little palace ladies were so frightened that they squatted their heads, “The master forgive us, we must study hard and practice hard to make more delicious dishes, and hope the master will calm down.”
Lin Ruoshan looked at them for a while, smiled and waved her hand, “Okay, let’s all go out and ask Xia Lian to take care of her.”
“Yes, thank you Master.” The two little palace ladies ran away and hurried back.
Lin Ruoshan saw that there was no one outside, and waved to reveal the stream. She was not depressed when she didn’t see Qinglong. She believed that when she gave birth to the dragon, Qinglong would recognize her, and maybe even help her son become a big treasure. It’s the queen mother!
Lin Ruoshan laughed unconsciously, and gently stroked her slightly raised abdomen. This is her lucky star, the person who can truly rely on her.
She scooped a small bowl of stream water, poured them into four plates, and stirred them again. She relied on and trusted Lingquan very much, and she called people to pretend to be without tasting it after mixing.
“Master, Xia Lian is suffering from abdominal pain, her face is pale and she is sweating, and she can’t walk!” The little palace lady hurriedly ran to report.
Lin Ruoshan frowned, “Unlucky, how come I suddenly become ill? Change my clothes quickly and Qiuye will follow me.”
She can’t delay seeing the queen mother and the emperor. It’s just a court lady, and it’s not worthy of her care. Anyway, Xia Lian will be fine if she appreciates some soup with Lingquan later.
When Lin Ruoshan arrived in the Queen Mother’s Palace, she wore a pleasing smile as usual, and her witty remarks made the queen mother and the emperor smile. After the small dishes were put on the poison, she personally prepared dishes for the queen mother and the emperor, waiting for their praise. Unexpectedly, the queen mother took a bite, but immediately vomited it out, frowning.
“Lin Guiren, you didn’t make this dish today? Why is it so unpalatable?”
Lin Ruoshan was stunned, “The slave and maid made the words of the empress dowager.”
The emperor glanced at him, tasted another dish, and frowned. The daily delicacies of the two of them are the result of the imperial chef’s excellence. The dishes made by the palace maid have been mixed with water to dilute the taste. How can they get into their mouths? Both felt very unpalatable.
Lin Ruoshan didn’t dare to talk nonsense now, she hurriedly took a small dish and tasted four side dishes one by one. She was a bit dissatisfied with the cooking skills of the two little palace ladies. Now the taste is weak and it is naturally more unpalatable. It is not as good as the homemade dishes made by the Wang family.
How could this be? No matter how common the food is, the Lingquan will become very delicious. It is because of this that she let the little palace lady make it casually. Why is Lingquan suddenly useless? !
Lin Ruoshan had a bad premonition in her heart, but when she was not thinking about this, there were two mountains waiting for her to explain.
She immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying that she was a little uncomfortable today, maybe the seasoning was useless.
This incident swept away the empress dowager and the emperor’s interest in eating, but she was still pregnant, so she couldn’t blame it much, and the queen mother waved her hand to make her retreat.
Lin Ruoshan had cold sweat on her forehead, she was tightly in charge of Qiu Ye’s wrist, and quickly returned to the bedroom and locked herself in the room. She emerged from the stream and took a sip of water. The water is very sweet, but it is just ordinary mountain spring water, not Lingquan!
Lin Ruoshan panicked, and tried to scoop the water more than a dozen times. It was all mountain spring water, no spiritual spring, not at all. She called Qinglong, and bowed down to pray, still there was no Qinglong figure, let alone restore the spirit spring.
Lin Ruoshan thought of Xia Lian, went straight to Xia Lian’s room, asked the others to go out, scooped up a glass of spring water for Xia Lian to take.
Xia Lian drank the water in a panic, Lin Ruoshan asked anxiously, “How are you? Are you better?”
Xia Lian didn’t know why, “Go back to the master, slave maid, slave maid, whoops…”
Xia Lian’s abdomen cramped again, and she rushed to Gongfang to convict her. Lin Ruoshan was pacing back and forth in a hurry. After waiting for half an hour, Xia Lian was so sick that she couldn’t even get out of bed. Not only did she not see well, she became more serious.
She went back to the room and staggered and sat on the ground, looking paler than Xia Lian. Qiuye was frightened and hurriedly asked someone to help her up, “Master, what’s wrong with you, master? Come, get a doctor!”
Lin Ruoshan has never seen an imperial doctor after entering the palace. She has a spiritual spring and is not afraid of poison. On the contrary, she is afraid that the imperial doctor will see something abnormal in her. But at this time she couldn’t hear Qiu Ye’s words at all. She was immersed in the panic of losing Lingquan. She just wanted to know why. Is Qinglong finally disappointed and took Lingquan away? Will that take back her rebirth life? She hasn’t given birth to a dragon, she hasn’t given birth to a concubine, she hasn’t enjoyed enough glory and wealth, she can’t die!
Lin Ruoshan, who the imperial doctor rushed to see, was a little lost, and was shocked, and hurriedly diagnosed her pulse. After a while, the imperial physician frowned suspiciously, “Lin Guiren…well, so is the little prince.”
Qiuye was anxious, “How can the master be like this?”
“This…Lin Guiren is a little anxious, maybe it is caused by over-thinking, so he can keep it quiet for a few days. If you are not at ease, I will prescribe some anti-fetal medicine to the noble person.”
“Doctor Wang, the court lady Xia Lian who usually serves the master is very sick. The master has only seen her before becoming this way. Can the Doctor Wang see what Xia Lin is?”
Generally, the maids have no chance to see a doctor if they are ill. This matter was about Lin Ruoshan and the little prince. Without a word, the Wang Taiyi went with Qiuye to see Xia Lian. At this visit, he changed his face, “This is dysentery. If it is not treated properly, it may be contagious.”
“What? The master she…”
“Lin Guiren is fine. Xu was frightened by Xia Lian’s illness. Xia Lian can’t stay in the palace. You can make arrangements quickly and you can’t delay.”
“Yes, you can prescribe some medicine, Doctor Wang, to save the servants. If the servants get sick, they won’t be able to serve the master.”
The doctor Wang did not refuse to give up his hand. He prescribed some preventive medicinal materials to let them fry a bowl each, and then reported the matter when he returned. Qiuye quickly reported to Lin Ruoshan, and then asked her aunt in charge to report the matter. Lin Ruoshan is still in the mood to care about Xia Lian? When Aunt Guan saw this, she arranged to send Xia Lin out of the palace for her family to take it back.
If the maid is sick, the palace won’t bother to heal. Some die of the disease directly, and some will let their family members take it back for resettlement.
Dysentery can cause severe abdominal pain and severe diarrhea, and it can be cured by meticulous treatment by the imperial physician. It is not a terminal illness. It is just that dysentery may be infected by carelessness, so she will not be kept in the palace.
When she returned home, the infection would at most be transmitted to her family, and it would not spread out. As for whether the doctor outside had the ability to heal her, no one would care.
Liu Hong cried with joy when he received Xia Lian and shed tears on his face. It seemed to the people in the palace that he was crying for Xia Lian because he was unable to treat him. He comforted him with a few words of sympathy and left.
Li took his children and hid in a small village outside the city, and fled to relatives when the news was bad. After Liu Hong settled down with Xia Lian, he hurriedly took them home. In order to safely fail to tell the two children the truth, the two children cried anxiously.
Liu Hong and Li’s cleaned up again, letting Xia Lian pretend to be dead when it was getting dark. The Liu family cried loudly, and the neighbors were afraid of being infected, so they just sent something to comfort them, but did not enter the Liu family. Liu Hong used this reason to rush out for funerals and send Xia Lian out of the city. Naturally, other people didn’t feel inappropriate.
When he arrived at a ruined temple outside the city, Liu Hong hurriedly gave Xia Lian the antidote. Within a moment, Xia Lian was fine.
Xia Lian lay down in Li’s arms and wept bitterly. It took a while before she could speak, “Father, what should I do next? Guiren Lin didn’t pay attention to me when she was unwell today. If she recovers and finds that you haven’t dealt with Xu Zifan, she will not let it go. Yours.”
Liu Hong said solemnly: “Don’t be afraid, we will leave the capital tomorrow and go far. Master Xu is right, Lin Guiren has a shallow foundation, she is not so capable, and it is impossible to chase us. As long as we leave the capital It’s safe. Master Xu’s home is in Anyang Mansion. We go there and Xu’s family will help us settle down.”
“Father, are Xu and Master Xu reliable? We almost hurt him before…”
Liu Hong was silent for a moment and said: “Father believes in Master Xu, this is an opportunity. We may not be as stable and comfortable as before when we go to other places. Going to Anyang House may be better than before. I can see that Master Xu is very good. Satisfied that we are not harmful, the Xu family is also the home of goodness. This time I am willing to help us because I think we are of good character and dad wants to try.”
“Father, you are right, we will go to Anyang Mansion.” Xia Lian had never met Xu Zifan, but she believed her father’s judgment. And I always feel that a person whom Lin Ruoshan hates so much is either a hundred times more vicious than Lin Ruoshan, or someone who is completely opposite to Lin Ruoshan. Her intuition should be the latter, and going to Anyang Mansion is the most suitable choice.
Liu Hong’s family dealt with the ruined temple all night, and almost didn’t close their eyes overnight, and hurriedly set off at dawn the next day. The two children were shocked and couldn’t return to their senses, but their sister was still very happy to go to the palace to reunite with them. The family left the capital far behind with the joy of the rest of their lives, and Lin Ruoshan in the palace hadn’t thought of Xia Lian, and now she had to pretend to be sick to avoid cooking and making wine.
