Chapter 13 Visiting the Sick
Wang Ben lowered his head obediently.
Zhao Yuanxi softened his tone. "You can investigate the case, but you are not allowed to torture them. Feel free to ask me any questions."
"Yes!" Wang Ben's face, hidden by his big beard, showed some helplessness.
You suddenly exclaimed, "Queen Mother, your injury!"
Zhao Yuanxi's back shoulder was bleeding at this moment. Because the situation was too tense before, she didn't feel any pain in her body. Now she really felt pain all over her body, her arms, back, and head.
It hurts, but we can't lose face.
"It's okay, I'll just take some medicine later."
Zhao Yuanxi waved his hand and said to Zhang Han, "I'll leave the three injured people in your care. Also, as for Ayu's funeral, ask Gao Sheng for ten gold coins to bury him, and send the rest to his family."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" The five people bowed in gratitude in unison with tears in their eyes.
After everything was arranged, Zhao Yuanxi looked tired and followed You back to the bedroom.
The lights in the bedroom were still on.
Zhao Yuanxi yawned, then looked up and saw that the little guy on the bed was gone. She asked, "Where is Ziying?"
It was late at night, could the child have run away?
The palace maid guarding the door was trembling with fear. "Master Ziying's teacher came to look for him, and Master Ziying followed him back."
Zhao Yuanxi nodded. Since the teacher was coming, she, as a parent, naturally had no objection. However, she would have to have a good discussion with the teacher tomorrow about Ziying's education issues.
......
You carefully reapplied medicine to the empress dowager. Seeing that she had fallen asleep, she covered her with a quilt and tiptoed out.
That night, Zhao Yuanxi had many nightmares. She dreamed that a man was chasing her, someone had kidnapped Ziying, and her adopted son was crazy on drugs, following her and shouting at her to kill him.
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother! Her Majesty the Queen Mother!"
Zhao Yuanxi felt a severe headache, rubbed his temples and sat up, hissing——
When the cold wind blew, she realized that she was sweating all over.
This dream was so real that Zhao Yuanxi felt that he had run no less than 10,000 meters in his dream, and his back and waist were sore.
You brought a cup of warm water over and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead. She asked distressedly, "Did the Queen Mother have a nightmare last night?"
Zhao Yuanxi took a big sip to calm down, and then he felt alive again. "Yeah! I was scared to death!"
The Queen Mother's sad face made You feel both distressed and a little funny.
The Queen Mother usually looks as gentle as an elder, but unexpectedly she also has a childish side.
Emotions came and went quickly, but Zhao Yuanxi quickly sorted himself out and asked casually, "Is Ziying awake yet?"
As You helped her dress, she said, "No one has come from the Lanting Palace yet. I'll send someone to inquire about Young Master Ziying's condition later. However, news came from the side hall this morning that the guard named Aji has woken up last night. He said he wanted to see the Empress, but Imperial Physician Yu stopped him from coming out."
"Good job stopping him. Since he's injured, he should take good care of himself. What good do I have to see you?" Zhao Yuanxi pulled his long hair, feeling a little worried.
If it weren't for the fact that hair cannot be cut casually here, she would have cut her waist-length hair long ago instead of spending half an hour every day doing this.
You gently combed Zhao Yuanxi's hair and said, "Your Majesty saved his life, so it's no wonder he wants to see you."
"It's okay, I can go over there later." Zhao Yuanxi looked at the neat figure in the mirror and praised sincerely, "You, you have such a skillful hand. What would I do without you?"
"If Your Majesty likes it, I am willing to comb your hair for the rest of my life." You's face was flushed and her eyes seemed to be shining.
Zhao Yuanxi stroked You's hair. "That won't do. What's the point of combing my hair every day? You're such a talented hairdresser. You should open a hair salon and let all the ladies in the world see your skills. Then sell some of your own rouge and powder. Then you'll be the world's first beauty store owner!"
You opened her mouth slightly, and seeing the Queen Mother smiling, she started smiling too.
"Silly Youzi, do you understand what I said?" Zhao Yuanxi was talking nonsense, and seeing Youzi smiling so foolishly, he joked.
"I am a foolish servant and don't understand the meaning of beauty makeup. However, I do know a thing or two about how women tie their hair and put on makeup. However, I don't have the ability to run a shop."
"Everyone has their strengths. You is already very capable. If you ever have this idea, I can help you."
Zhao Yuanxi didn't have anything else, but he had a little money.
Although Zhao Ji was driven out of the Xianyang Palace, she still enjoyed the same treatment as before. Moreover, Zhao Ji had been the queen mother for so many years and had quite a lot of savings, not including the money she spent on her male favorites.
You said without hesitation, "Now I just want to serve the Queen Mother."
Since people said so, Zhao Yuanxi no longer forced it, but she had a new idea.
Although she was rich, she had many places to spend money, especially when she planned to develop her own planting business, and the existing seeds could not meet her requirements at all.
Although what the system provides is good, she cannot rely solely on the system. She is preparing to form her own seed resource search team to collect seeds from all over the world for her, and all this requires money.
It’s a pity that she hasn’t found someone who can help her make money yet. It would be best if he is a big businessman who can travel around the world!
How about asking my son to borrow someone?
But when he thought of Zhao Ji's experience, Zhao Yuanxi immediately gave up the idea.
If his adopted son heard that he was looking for a big businessman, he would definitely think of Lu Buwei. What if he got carried away?
Zhao Yuanxi shook his head, trying to forget the image of his adopted son hacking people in his dream. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go and see them."
When Ah Ji woke up this morning, he heard Brother Zhang Han telling him what happened last night.
He didn't expect that he could survive, and he didn't expect that it was the Queen Mother who saved him.
He had no special impression of the Queen Mother.
Over the past two days, apart from being surprised that the Queen Mother was actually good at farming, he didn't have any extra feelings. Protecting the Queen Mother was just his duty.
Aji stared at the ceiling in a daze. He wanted to see the Queen Mother again and find out why she had spent so much money to save him.
"You're in really good health. I thought you would be in a coma for a few days!" Zhao Yuanxi looked at the young man lying on the bed, whose color had returned to him, and couldn't hide the joy on his face.
This voice - Ah Ji turned his head, and this was the voice he heard when he was unconscious.
Zhao Yuanxi walked in against the light, and for a moment he thought he had seen a god. He opened and closed his mouth, trembling for a long time before he shouted four words, "Empress Dowager!"
It's really her.
"Why are you crying? Is it because the moxa in the room is too strong?" Zhao Yuanxi fanned him. "Although the smell is a bit unpleasant, for your health, I'll just bear with it for a while."
There was no way. The conditions were like this, and Zhao Yuanxi couldn't set up a disinfected ward for him out of thin air.
