The Lady's Code for Raising Her Husband

Without saying a word, Jiayanyu knelt down outside the door.

She knelt for a long time, until it got dark, but she still didn't complain.

Li Jiao felt very strange and asked Jinxiu to wake her up.

After Jia Yanyu got up, she did not go back immediately. Instead, she went to Li Jiao's bed first and knelt down again: "My queen, if you haven't forgiven me yet, I will kneel down again tomorrow morning."

Li Jiao was noncommittal.

The next day, Li Jiao woke up from her sleep, and Jinxiu came to report to her: "Your Majesty, your concubine really knelt down in our courtyard early in the morning."

Li Jiao was very surprised: "Did she take the wrong medicine?"

Jinxiu looked outside and lowered her voice: "Your Majesty, I don't know whether the imperial concubine took the wrong medicine, but I guess that the reason why she seems to have changed is probably related to the medicine."

"How do you say that?" Li Jiao raised an eyebrow.

Jinxiu lowered her voice even more: "Yesterday, the imperial concubine was regarded as a thief and had Eunuch Wei sent to Cining Palace. Did you know?"

"Is there such a thing?" Li Jiao was very surprised, "Is she a thief or someone who was wrongly accused?"

"It's a real thief. She stole the Queen Mother's medicine." Jinxiu said mysteriously, "I don't know the specific medicine, but it's probably related to her heartache. I think it's impossible for her to steal anything else. The medicine is gone.”

In order to treat the pain in his heart, Jiayanyu stole the medicine to the Queen Mother? Li Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly and asked Jinxiu: "Then the matter is over? Since she is a thief, can the Queen Mother spare her lightly?"

Jinxiu shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of any further details. Maybe the Queen Mother was under house arrest and couldn't protect herself, so she didn't go into details."

Li Jiao frowned slightly and remained silent.

At this time, a little palace maid came over to report: "Queen, Princess Yingchuan is here."

Li Jiao quickly said to Jinxiu: "Princess Yingchuan must be here for a review of this palace. Go and pick her up quickly."

"Yes." Jinxiu responded and hurried over.

Soon, Ye Yuxiao followed Jinxiu and entered the house.

Li Jiaoqiang was about to get up, but Ye Yuxiao quickly took a few steps and held her down: "Mother, you have just completed the operation. Don't move around. Don't forget that you are not alone now."

Li Jiao nodded: "Okay, I lie down and don't move. You saved my life, and the emperor allowed me to keep it. I will live a good life from now on." "

This is right. Ye Yuxiao nodded happily and began to check her wounds.

While lifting up Li Jiao's clothes, she asked: "Mother, when I came in just now, why did you see the imperial concubine kneeling in the yard? Did she make you angry?"

"She is kneeling there, but it has nothing to do with me." Li Jiao shook her head, "It's strange to say that when she first entered the cold palace a few days ago, she came to express her goodwill to me, but after inquiring about some information, She immediately turned her back. Until yesterday, she came again, crying and begging me for forgiveness. I angrily said, "Kneel outside." She really knelt. Yesterday, she knelt for a long time, and today It came again early in the morning, and I don’t know why.”

Ye Yuxiao smiled nonchalantly: "She has already come to the cold palace. I'm afraid she won't be able to cause any big troubles. The empress just needs to be careful about her."

"I originally thought so." Li Jiao said, showing a sad face, "But Jinxiu just told me that yesterday the imperial concubine stole the Queen Mother's medicine. She was regarded as a thief and took it to Cining Palace, but she failed. After a while, she was released and the matter was settled. I don’t know if her sudden change of temperament has anything to do with this matter."

"It's hard to say." Ye Yuxiao said softly.

She didn't say it clearly, but Li Jiao already understood what she meant: "This time I exposed her conspiracy in front of the Queen Mother, causing her to be grounded. She must have a grudge against me. If she didn't take action , it doesn’t look like her anymore.”

"The empress suspects that the imperial concubine is here under the order of the Queen Mother?" Ye Yuxiao asked.

Li Jiao nodded: "It's almost the same."

"Then the empress should be more careful with her." Ye Yuxiao reminded.

While she was talking, she checked Li Jiao's wounds and raised her head with a smile: "Your Majesty is recovering very well. As long as you take a good rest, there shouldn't be any big problem."

"Thank you very much. My survival depends entirely on you." Li Jiao said, holding Ye Yuxiao's hand, "Princess Yingchuan, since you saved my life, then help me People will help us to the end and send Buddha to the West, okay?"

Ye Yuxiao didn't know why: "What does this mean, empress?"

Li Jiao said sincerely: "Princess Yingchuan, I am in bed to recuperate from my injury. If the imperial concubine really wants to harm me, I have no choice. I also ask you to stay in the palace for a few days to accompany me and wait for my injury. Let’s talk about it after we recover, okay?”

"This..." Ye Yuxiao was very embarrassed, "I am very willing to help the empress get through the difficulties, but I am a foreigner, so it is unreasonable for me to live in the palace."

"Go and beg the emperor, and the emperor will definitely agree." Li Jiao begged, "Since the emperor intends to save my life, he will never refuse my request."

Ye Yuxiao thought for a while and agreed to her: "I'll go and try it. If the emperor doesn't agree, I hope the empress won't blame me."

Li Jiao hurriedly said: "Whether the Emperor agrees or not, I accept the Princess's sentiments."

Ye Yuxiao patted her hand, stood up immediately, left the cold palace, and went to see the emperor.

The emperor heard that because of the queen's injury, she asked herself to go to the cold palace to take care of the queen until the queen recovered. He was very puzzled.

He looked at Ye Yuxiao for a long time and said: "Princess Yingchuan, you have been dealing with me for more than a day or two. I ask you the truth, are you willing to answer me?"

Ye Yuxiao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, just ask."

The emperor spoke slowly: "You know very well what the queen's situation is now. Although I listened to your advice and spared her life, she will never make a comeback in this life, so why do you continue to do your best for her? "

Ye Yuxiao smiled: "Your Majesty means that I can no longer get any benefits from the Queen, so why do I still do my best to her?"

The emperor remained silent, apparently acquiescing.

Ye Yuxiao's smile grew wider: "Your Majesty, in my eyes, she is just my patient. As a doctor, I must be responsible for the patients, nothing more."

The emperor nodded slightly: "I have seen Princess Yingchuan's medical ethics once again, and I admire her very much."

"The emperor has rewarded you." Ye Yuxiao said humbly.

The emperor thought for a while and said: "Although it is against the rules for you to live in the palace as a married woman, but because you live in the cold palace, it is fine. I just have to wrong you for a few days."

The emperor agreed, and Ye Yuxiao quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your understanding, I will not be wronged."
