The king was wrong

"Young master, let this servant talk too much, but I really don't understand why you gave up the opportunity to enter the palace for a banquet to Madam Xue..."

On the way back, Menghan frowned, and after thinking about it, she finally couldn't help asking Qi Yaoqing.

"Since she wants to go, but I don't want to go, why don't you just go with the flow and give her the opportunity?" Qi Yaoqing chuckled and asked without answering.

"But...but it's different this time. In the eyes of others, the eldest lady seems to think of the young master in everything, but the servants have been with the young master for so many years, so why don't they know? The eldest lady seems to treat the young master well, but she didn't deliberately dig Waiting for the young master to jump? Just like that year, the master's imperial gifted glass bottle was obviously broken by the young master, but the young lady instigated him to put the blame on the young master, causing the young master to wear only a thin bedclothes for nine days. Yi knelt in the courtyard for a day... At that time, Madam was still alive, but now, now..."

Thinking of the young master Da Xuetian who was still a child was punished by the master to kneel in the yard and trembled, Menghan's tears rolled in his eyes, and he choked up and couldn't speak anymore.

"The past is all in the past, you see, I'm standing here right now."

Qi Yao smiled faintly, and patted Menghan on the shoulder to show her relief.Since he was a child, he has taken the blame for Qi Songjin and his siblings. The key is in the eyes of everyone, but he still thinks that the siblings are very kind to him.Because I have never been favored by my father, and I lost the protection of my mother too early, so no matter how wronged I am, I can only grit my teeth and endure it, and I can't say it easily.

Meng Han took a few deep breaths, swallowing tears down her stomach.After calming down a bit, he said to Qi Yaoqing: "Young master, what you said is that it doesn't matter if you don't mention the past. But as far as today's matter is concerned, this servant thinks that if you really don't go, I'm afraid the queen will ask you It's really worthless to give birth to unknown amount of right and wrong!"

"Oh, then do you think if I go, all these right and wrong will disappear?"

Meng Han was stunned, bit his lip and shook his head, "No, since the young master was married into Prince Yong's mansion by the emperor, these gossips have never stopped."

"That's fine." Qi Yaoqing chuckled, "Since I haven't stopped, why should I rush forward. You have seen the attitude of the prince today, ambiguous, maybe he doesn't want me to go, but It’s just not stated.”

"Then...then why did the prince want his wife to replace the young master?" Menghan was puzzled.

"Well..." Qi Yaoqing smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "No matter how you say she is a woman, she will look more like a wife than me when she is brought out, besides..."

Speaking of this, Qi Yaoqing's eyes darkened, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, the prince must have his own considerations."

Menghan opened his mouth hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something more, but finally chose to keep his mouth shut.Although she was still a little worried, but seeing the young master's determined appearance, she should have some concerns in her heart, so she didn't bother anymore.

Now that she has decided not to go to the palace banquet, Qi Yaoqing's life has returned to her previous secluded life, and it is leisurely to stay alone in the courtyard every day.

Six days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was evening, Wei Yanxi brought Xue Hanxue into the palace early in the morning, so the palace was much quieter, and Menghan also took this opportunity to quietly invite old doctor Ding to Qi Yaoqing.

"Hehe, I haven't seen the young master for several years. I didn't expect the young master to marry into the Prince Yong's mansion once he was noble. Congratulations, congratulations!"

The old doctor who was over seventy years old with a white beard greeted Qi Yaoqing cheerfully as soon as he entered the door.

Qi Yaoqing suddenly saw this kind and familiar face, as if recalling his youth, his brows and eyes softened a little.

Old Doctor Ding was acquainted with the late Wen Shi, and since Qi Yaoqing was a baby, he often came to see his doctor for consultation, so until now he still calls him "Little Master" as he did when he was a child.

It's ridiculous to say that Qi Yaoqing's poor medical skills are mostly thanks to him.

Later Wen's family passed away, and he grew up. Although his body was not strong, he didn't get sick as often as he did when he was a child. When he got sick, he couldn't afford to stay in bed for days, so there were fewer chances to see old doctor Ding.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for three or four years. Things are different. Seeing that your body is still so healthy, I feel relieved." Qi Yaoqing smiled slightly, agreeing.

Unexpectedly, the old doctor couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, and stroked his beard while laughing.

"Hey, young master, my old man has already stepped into the loess with one foot at his age, but he can't bear your praise. Compared with me, it's important to take good care of your body."

Speaking of this, the old doctor paused for a moment, then stopped laughing, approached Qi Yaoqing and asked in a low voice: "Hey, young master, when I came here, I heard girl Han say, what kind of unclean food did you eat in the palace? What is it, do you have any left here, show it to the old man?"

On the way here, Menghan had already described the general situation to Old Doctor Ding, so now Old Doctor Ding is very clear about the purpose of his trip.

Qi Yaoqing had asked Meng Qi to prepare the food made by Qin's mother in advance, upon hearing this, she immediately beckoned for Meng Qi to bring the food.

"Maybe it's nothing serious. It's just that I have to be careful because of something strange. Anyway, I'm sorry to bother you."

While Qi Yaoqing was speaking, Meng Qi had already placed three plates on the table, namely a plate of water chestnut cake, a cup of black chicken soup and a bowl of white fungus soup.

"Doctor Ding, these are all the food that Qin's mother cooked in the past few days. The servants have saved some of everything. Would you like to take a look?"

"Hey, okay."

The old doctor was also unambiguous, rolled up his sleeves and started picking things out.I saw that he first tried three things with a silver needle, then scooped up white fungus soup and chicken soup with a small copper spoon and smelled them, and finally frowned and tasted all the things. Finally, he showed an expression of enlightenment.

"What did you see?" Meng Qi leaned forward curiously.

"Yeah." The old doctor nodded, turned around and said to Qi Yaoqing: "Young master, old man, I just tasted all three things carefully, and there is definitely no poison, but there are some different Chinese medicinal materials added in them."

"Oh? Chinese medicinal materials?" Qi Yaoqing also leaned over upon hearing the words.

The old doctor first picked up the bowl of white fungus soup, stirred it with a spoon, and said: "This bowl of white fungus soup is actually not a big problem. The white fungus and wolfberry in it are mild and nourishing things. Eating it is beneficial and harmless. Except for these, I can also vaguely taste the bitterness of ice flakes."

"Ice flakes?" Qi Yaoqing pursed her lips and thought for a while, "If I remember correctly, ice flakes should be used to rejuvenate one's mind, clear away heat and disperse toxins, right?"

"That's right." The old doctor nodded. "Ice tablets are not harmful. On the contrary, taking a small amount in summer can also refresh your mind."

Qi Yaoqing nodded, but his brows were not loosened, "But I don't have a fever that the heat invades my body, why should I add borneol to my diet?"

Hearing this, the old doctor did not rush to answer, but turned his attention to the chicken soup aside.

"The tremella soup has a bland taste, so you can only use borneol, which doesn't smell too much, for medicine. But the black-bone chicken soup is delicious, and if you add two kinds of medicine, you won't be able to taste it easily."

The old doctor scooped up another spoonful of chicken soup as he spoke, and pointed, "There is no borneol in this bowl of soup, but forsythia and styrax."

"Oh, it's also refreshing?" Qi Yaoqing couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Yes."

Now Qi Yaoqing was puzzled, "But I don't understand, these are some common refreshing herbs, why did she add them to my diet? Could it be simply because I have been in a bad mood for the past few days and want to I just refreshed myself?"

He paused, then smiled helplessly, "Oh, could it be that I really blamed them?"

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the old doctor's face suddenly became serious, and he shook his head, "No, you didn't."

He finally brought the plate of horseshoe cake to him, and this time he didn't explain directly, but asked Qi Yaoqing: "Young master, I just couldn't stop rubbing the center of your eyebrows when I saw you, tell the old man the truth, recently I feel clear minded, but often Will you feel dizzy and tired again?"

Qi Yaoqing was stunned for a moment, "Yeah, it seems...it's been going on for a while, and he was in good spirits the first moment, but inexplicably felt completely tired the next moment. Why, maybe it's because the horseshoe cake has added What?"

The old doctor looked at him, then looked at the horseshoe cake in his hand, and sighed: "The horseshoe cake tastes sweet, and it feels cool and icy in the mouth, because there is a lot of mint in it."

"I know that." Qi Yaoqing nodded nonchalantly, "I've always thought that the dim sum made by Mother Qin tastes cool and refreshing, and I also guessed that she added mint in it."

"But do you know why she added a lot of mint?"

"This...isn't clear, isn't it to refresh your mind and make the snacks more delicious?" Qi Yaoqing shook his head truthfully.

The old doctor gave him a meaningful look, and sighed, "That's because she wants to cover the smell of camphor with mint."

"What, camphor?"

This time, without waiting for Qi Yaoqing to speak, Meng Qi, who had been standing by the side, interjected, "Isn't camphor a medicine for external use? How can it be added to the diet?"

"Camphor is indeed a medicine for external use, but a small amount added to the diet has the effect of clearing the customs, sharpening stagnant qi, and eliminating filth." The old doctor explained unhurriedly: "However, camphor itself is poisonous. It will backfire, causing dizziness, difficulty breathing, and even convulsions and even coma in severe cases."

He couldn't help but sighed again while talking: "The key point is that the reaction caused by the camphor medicine is difficult to judge just by looking at the symptoms, unless it can be traced back to the daily diet, otherwise if you meet a careless doctor, it will be easily cut off as qi and blood." Insufficient, weak pulse."

"So, even if I feel unwell and call a doctor, there is a great possibility that I won't be able to diagnose it at all?"

"Yes." The old doctor nodded, "There is only a small amount of camphor in it, and it is only added to the pastry, and it is not in the soup or soup. Even if you check the food, you may not be able to find it. Besides..."

"And what?"
