Fate with you

When Meng Xiuyi woke up, it was already afternoon.

Gong'e quickly brought the porridge, but Meng Xiuyi didn't take it, looked around and asked, "Where is Shangqing?"

Mai Rongen trotted up and down and said, "Master Shangqing just boarded the boat..."

Before he finished speaking, Meng Xiuyi stood up in shock: "She's gone?"

Meng Rongen hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Lord Shangqing just went to the Imperial Medical Office to pick up some medicines, and he will be back soon."

It turned out that she had gone to pick up medicine... Meng Xiuyi calmed down, only then did she realize that her heart was beating violently due to panic.Three years ago, when she asked Mu Sheng to leave, she couldn't feel that Mu Sheng had any trust in her. If the two of them couldn't even trust at least, how could they love each other?So she would rather not.

In the three years without Mu Sheng, she missed her more and more day by day, and her thoughts were like waves, which never went out for a moment.Now, Mu Sheng still doesn't trust her, and she even fears her identity, but she can no longer use the same reason to let Mu Sheng leave.

"Your Majesty, why don't you use some rice porridge to cushion your stomach?"

Meng Xiuyi turned his head, only to see that Mai Rongen had already taken the jade bowl from Gong'e's hand, holding it in front of her with concern.

Meng Xiuyi took the rice porridge and slowly put it into his mouth, while lowering his eyebrows in thought.When the bowl of thin porridge that was not full was used up, she also had a clue, put the jade bowl on the tray in Gong'e's hand, and said to Mai Rongen: "Go and clean up the Mingde Palace. According to Shangqing To your liking, rearrange."

Mai Rongen didn't ask the purpose at all, and bowed his head in agreement.

"I issued an edict again. I am in a state of illness and should not be in charge of government affairs. In the past two days, the Lord Huai'an and the Prime Minister have been ordered to manage the affairs of the court together. Oh, and besides, I have approved the memorial of Xiang Lu begging for the bones. I will issue an edict. Prime Minister Lu He has made meritorious service to the country, and he will be appointed as a young teacher, and he will return to his hometown for the elderly." Meng Xiuyi ordered in an orderly manner.

Mai Rongen's eyebrows twitched, the prime minister announced his appointment, and a position was vacated, and the Ministry of Rites was still making noise, yet His Majesty said at this time that he was going to recuperate from his illness, and it would be strange if there was no chaos in the court.Your Majesty wants to fish in troubled waters again.

As an internal servant, he can't take care of the front court, but can only take care of the trivial matters of the one-third of an acre of land in the harem, and now he has to go to the Mingde Palace next door to clean up.

The island is small, so it is necessary to save land.All kinds of palaces were built one after another, just like a smaller Jianzhang Palace.There is only a stone road between Mingde Hall and the emperor's fasting residence, which is very close.Mai Rongen walked around the Mingde Hall, admiring, Your Majesty's good tricks, the island is secluded, not only suitable for recuperating, but also suitable for doing other things.

So, when Mu Sheng returned to Penglai, he saw the beaming Mai Rongen.Mu Sheng felt quite confused, walked into the hall, and saw Meng Xiuyi lazily leaning on the couch, reading with a book in his hand.

She only went out for an hour or two, and the palace was enveloped in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, all the busyness was gone, and the rest was as leisurely as a fairyland.

"You're back?" Meng Xiuyi put down his book and laughed with Mu Sheng.

Mu Sheng took two steps forward and made a bow: "I have seen the Holy One."

The Holy One lazily stretched his body, stretched out his hand and said, "Come and help me up."

The emperor had an order, Mu Sheng didn't dare to refuse, she honestly went to help her up.Meng Xiuyi had changed into Yanju's unlined clothes earlier, when she stood up, she looked very thin, like a bamboo pole, and was about to go outside, Mu Sheng hurriedly reminded: "It's cold outside, Your Majesty, let's add another coat." .”

Meng Xiuyi paused, said: "Forget it, then we won't go out." He turned around and walked to the inner room.

Mu Sheng paused for a while, then followed.

The inner room is a small study room, which is different from the study room outside where ministers are received. This place is quiet and leisurely. There are biographical magazines on the rosewood bookshelves, and landscape paintings are hung on the walls around. leaf.

However, in just one day, he was able to arrange such a comfortable and elegant study room according to His Majesty's preferences. Mu Sheng greatly admired the several adults in front of the imperial court.

Meng Xiuyi didn't sit down behind the desk, but went to the soft couch under the window and lay down on his side, beckoning to Mu Sheng again.

Mu Sheng felt that His Majesty was full of strangeness, as if some conspiracy was brewing.She moved closer cautiously and looked at Meng Xiuyi suspiciously.

Meng Xiuyi, on the other hand, was serious and said with reason and evidence: "Last night, I suffered a sudden illness, which shocked me. I want to rest on the island for a few days. You see, how many days is better?"

When it came to her physical condition, Mu Sheng turned serious, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Rong Chen will check."

Meng Xiuyi nodded, and Mu Sheng carefully checked the pulse condition, eyes, tongue coating, each place, and finally said: "The sudden illness last night was related to your majesty's fasting all day long, and because of lack of rest and lack of energy, If your physical strength drops and you catch a cold again, you will have a high fever. If your majesty is willing to let go of the government and recuperate in peace, resting for three or two days will be enough, but after that, I hope your majesty will take good care of his stomach."

Before Mu Sheng left Beijing, the emperor's body was taken care of by her, and she knew the emperor's health well, but the changes were too rapid. During the period of her absence, the emperor broke his stomach Now, I spend less than four hours on government affairs every day, which makes the foundation weak.As a result, at the moment, a little bit of wind and cold is a high fever.

Meng Xiuyi looked at Mu Sheng, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "How do you raise your stomach?"

Mu Sheng pursed her lips and said nothing, Meng Xiuyi saw her hesitation, and said, "I have done a lot of things by taking advantage of some opportunities in the past two years. Being tired of government affairs, it is inevitable that I have treated my body badly. I also ordered the doctor They have written prescriptions, but they still don’t work, presumably they can’t let go, and the medicine is too mild.”

Originally he hesitated because he was not in his position and did not seek his own government, but now he heard the emperor say that, after all, his concern overwhelmed other things, Mu Sheng carefully asked about Meng Xiuyi's usual situation.

The two talked for a long time in the inner study, asking about every detail, Mu Sheng said: "Please give me the pen and ink, and Rong Chen will write down the words."

Meng Xiuyi smiled: "You can take it yourself."

The four treasures of the study, brush, ink, paper and inkstone, are neatly placed on the desk.Mu Sheng gave a salute, walked over calmly, and wrote with a pen. Halfway through the writing, she raised her head and looked at Meng Xiuyi. Meng Xiuyi was looking at her. When she saw her looking up, she raised her eyebrows. , very heroic.

For a moment, Mu Sheng seemed to only hear her own heartbeat, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Meng Xiuyi rubbed his chin and thought, it's rude to use force or something, why don't I sacrifice my beauty, Zhao'er looked a little moved.

Mu Sheng finally finished writing, dried the paper, and presented it to the emperor with both hands.

Meng Xiuyi took a look, pointed to two lines of words, and said, "With acupuncture?"

"Yes, your Majesty's symptom is liver qi invading the stomach. Taking Zhongwan, Neiguan, Pishu, and Weishu acupoints has the miraculous effect of soothing the liver and relieving stagnation, warming the middle and dispelling cold." Mu Sheng explained.

Meng Xiuyi secretly gestured at the four acupoints of Zhongwan, Neiguan, Pishu and Weishu, well, just thinking about sacrificing beauty, the opportunity came.

She smiled warmly, like the breeze of three springs, and said slowly: "I always heard that you are in Lin'an, and you have become a doctor who can serve the world, regardless of rich or poor, regardless of high or low. Thinking of the time when you belonged exclusively to me..."

Mu Sheng listened with bated breath, but Meng Xiuyi seemed to come out of his memory suddenly, and said in a warm voice: "I will do as you said, but using needles requires superb skills. Do it."

Mu Sheng suddenly felt a little disappointed for no reason. She didn't know what she wanted to hear from His Majesty, but she must have something to say, instead of stopping abruptly like this.

Mu Sheng agreed to let her perform the acupuncture.

At this time, Mingde Palace was almost cleaned up, but I don't know what Mu Sheng's preferences are. Mai Rongen heard that His Majesty and Shangqing were in the inner study, thought for a while, and ran away happily.

It is very interesting to invite Your Majesty to look at the new residence together with Lord Shangqing, and to increase the furnishings and decorate the bedroom together.

A good eunuch needs to be anxious about His Majesty's needs!

Sure enough, as soon as Mai Rongen said, His Majesty the Emperor seized the opportunity and said: "After so many years, I don't know if your preferences have changed. It's not far away anyway, so let's go and have a look together."

Mu Sheng, what else can Mu Sheng say?

Most of the time, Mu Sheng has nothing to do with the emperor.First of all, she is the emperor, and her spoken words are all imperial decrees, and she dare not violate her will; secondly, when she loves someone, no matter what requests she makes, she always hopes to satisfy her to the maximum in her heart, so that She is happy, and then herself, derives satisfaction from her pleasure.

The windows in Mingde Hall are bright and clean, the bricks and tiles have been wiped brightly, and the vases and decorations inside are all brand new. The layout is fresh and elegant, which Mu Sheng likes very much.

"Under the window here, add another set of chess pieces. If I have nothing to do, I will come to play chess with you." Meng Xiuyi pointed enthusiastically.

Those who didn't know thought she was going to live in Penglai for three to five months.

"It's getting warmer, boil a pot of good tea, hold it in your hand, the teacup is steaming with steam, and the warm sun shines on your body, just like this, I will play a few moves with you, talk a few words In a word, life is happy." Meng Xiuyi was eager to try, like a child, thinking about one thing and another.

"It's getting late today, so let's come here with your Majesty when the weather is good." Mu Sheng said.

Meng Xiuyi just laughed, as if he was greatly satisfied.

Looking inside and outside the hall, Meng Xiuyi felt satisfied, so he gave up.Mu Sheng hardly said anything, in her opinion, it was just a place to live for three or two days, so there was no need to spend so much effort, but His Majesty never liked to settle down, so she let her do it.

In these two days, Penglai Island, which had been deserted for several years, suddenly became lively.The emperor was lucky to be here. Apart from a large number of palace people, there are many more guards on the island, as well as ministers on duty from Menxia Province, Zhongshu Province, and Shangshu Province.

Mu Sheng was free, so the emperor called her from time to time, or talked about the customs of Lin'an, or read some important memorials to her, or discussed with her some important affairs in the court.

Meng Xiuyi looked very out of touch.Mu Sheng could only deal with it carefully.

In fact, as far as Mu Sheng is concerned, returning to His Majesty's side is like being in a dream, everything seems very unreal.
