In fact, it was not a huge change from the past, but it was like a slight ripple from stagnant water, enough to surprise him.

Yuwen Lan was stunned.

He had not seen this kind of scene for almost three years, and it happened again today?

Of course, this is a normal state for men, and they will quickly regain their composure after waking up.

But he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Suddenly, Fu Hai's voice came from outside the tent, "Your Majesty, it's time to get up."

There is a court meeting today. If he doesn't get up, the ministers should be asked to wait for him.

Yuwen Lan responded and got up from the bed first. He looked back subconsciously and saw that the girl was still asleep, her long hair was slightly messy, her cheeks were pink, and she still kicked off the quilt, with her front in disarray.

Yuwen Lan, "..."

What kind of sleeping habit is this?

He silently pulled the quilt for her and closed the tent without waking her up.

~~

Yuwen Lan did not show any sign of abnormality. He returned to Qianming Palace to wash and change clothes, and then went to Qinzheng Palace to attend court. He just listened to the officials reporting on government affairs one after another, but his mind was still thinking about that incident. Of course

he was happy, but he also wanted to know why the change this morning happened?

Thinking back, he just read memorials and handled important matters as usual yesterday, met with several ministers and royal kings who returned to Beijing, and the itinerary was no different from usual. The diet was also the same as usual, except that he went to Ganlu Palace to sleep.

Yes, Ganlu Palace.

His heart moved. In fact, since he discovered Li Yanshu, his life has gradually changed.

He used to be calm, like a deep pool without waves, but every time he faced her, he couldn't control himself.

She made him alert, angry, helpless, funny, and even... confused.

Yes, every time he was close to her, he couldn't suppress his emotions.

So, could it be her?

He still remembered that on the night he first arrived at Ganlu Palace, she planned to heal him... Then from the first time she took the initiative to kiss him, to last night when she inexplicably got into his arms...

Could it be?

This is her way?

...

On this day in the court, the ministers were surprised to find that the king was distracted for the first time.

~~

Early in the morning, Concubine Zhou arrived at Ci'an Palace.

Seeing the maids carrying the freshly boiled medicine into the palace, she took the initiative to ask for help, "Ask me to help the Queen Mother drink the medicine."

But the Queen Mother said, "Just ask them to come. You don't have to come every day, just do your own thing."

This girl has been spoiled since she was a child. How could she have served others? Every time she fed the medicine, she either burned or choked people, and the Queen Mother, her own aunt, was also scared.

After the sound of the hu music ended, Concubine Zhou said with a gloomy face, "I don't have much to do, so I might as well chat with you."

Then she added, "Your Majesty still goes to Ganlu Palace today, and it's hard for me to see him... I heard that Li Guiyi was sick yesterday, and Your Majesty actually went there to spend the night..." The Queen

Mother said impatiently, "Reflect on yourself more in everything, and think about whether you have done something wrong."

Concubine Zhou felt wronged, "I heard that Your Majesty was distracted in the court this morning. Could it be that he was bewitched by Li Guiyi..."

"Shut up."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sharp voice. Concubine Zhou shuddered, and saw the Queen Mother's face

turned green and said, "Haven't you learned a lesson from the ice play incident a few days ago? As a concubine, what do you want to do by asking about the affairs of the previous dynasty?" Concubine Zhou was so scared that she knelt on the ground and said, "Queen Mother, please calm down. It's not that I deliberately asked about it. Everyone in the court found out this morning, and the gossip spread to the palace. I just found out..." The Queen Mother

scolded again, "The examples of Concubine Ning and the Princess are right in front of you, and you still don't learn a lesson! Do you have to try it yourself to know how powerful it is?"

Concubine Zhou cried, "It's all my fault. Please calm down, Queen Mother. I'm just worried that Your Majesty will be deceived..."

"Shut up!" The

Queen Mother was so angry that she almost wanted to kick her. "Don't come to me these few days. Go back and think about it carefully. If you have half the brains of Concubine An, you won't be like this!"

"Yes."

Concubine Zhou covered her face and left.

~~

When Concubine Zhou returned to her palace to lose her temper, Yan Shu was eating breakfast.

When she looked in the mirror this morning, she found that the carbuncle had indeed subsided. Her almond eyes were sparkling and her beauty was still the same. She

was finally relieved. She hurriedly asked Rendong to take some small change to send to the doctor from last night.

Last night, she agreed to reward her after she got better. She couldn't go back on her word.

After finishing all this, it was time to have breakfast.

However... today's breakfast was really a bit light.

Millet pumpkin porridge, two plates of vegetarian dishes, and a dish of salted tofu. The main course was vegetarian three-fresh buns. Tsk, there was not even a bit of diced meat.

Seeing her bitter face, Honeysuckle said earnestly, "The doctor yesterday said that fish causes fire and meat causes phlegm. You must try to eat light food these days. Master, please bear with it. Chef Yu is very skilled and the vegetarian food must be delicious."

Yan Shu sighed. Although she was reluctant, she was really afraid that the ugly thing would grow again, so she had to pick up the chopsticks reluctantly.

But to be honest, Chef Yu's level is really good. The millet pumpkin porridge is sweet and refreshing, the salted tofu is full of bean fragrance, the vegetarian three-fresh buns with leeks are very delicious, and even the two side dishes are delicious.

Although this meal was not fishy, ​​it was simple and natural, allowing people to taste the original flavor of the food.

Just after finishing breakfast, Yan Shu heard Xiao Dongzi report, "Master, the Queen Mother sent for you."

Yan Shu was stunned. The Queen Mother

was ill a few days ago and had not allowed anyone to visit her. Why did she suddenly ask her to do something now?

However, the system did not issue an early warning, so she thought there should be nothing bad, so she said yes, changed her clothes and went to Ci'an Palace.

All the way to the place, she bowed obediently, and still looked like a harmless little white rabbit.

The Queen Mother asked her to stand up, but did not give her a seat. She only said, "Since you were promoted to a higher position, I heard that His Majesty is in a much better mood. This is your credit."

Yan Shu sensed the meaning of a warning.

It seems that the emperor has been staying in Ganlu Palace for several days, which has attracted other people's attention.

However, this was expected. Who said that she was the target of the emperor?

She had to pretend to be terrified and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is my honor to serve Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother asked again, "I heard that you were sick yesterday. Are you feeling better now?"

Yan Shu said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I just had a minor illness and I am fine now." The Queen Mother

sighed, "It's still good to be young. You recover quickly, unlike me."

As soon as she finished speaking, a palace maid came forward and reported, "Your Majesty, Zhang Shengkang, the judge of the Imperial Hospital, is here to check your pulse." The Queen Mother nodded

and said, "Come in."

The palace maid agreed and went to lift the curtain. Then, she saw an old man about fifty or sixty years old enter the room. It was Zhang Shengkang, the judge of the Imperial Hospital.

Yan Shu stood aside, silently looking at the other person, thinking that the old man had a ruddy face and an official appearance, worthy of being the head of the Imperial Hospital.

However, the imperial physician came to check on Ping's pulse, why didn't the empress dowager ask her to go back? Was she going

to beat her pulse later?

But after paying her respects, Zhang Yuanpan knelt on the ground and took the empress dowager's pulse. After a moment, he said, "The empress dowager's body has almost recovered, but it's been cold and windy recently, so you should go out less for the time being." The empress

dowager nodded.

But suddenly she cast her eyes on Yan Shu and said, "Why not ask the imperial physician to take a look at you to see if you are fully recovered."

Yan Shu, "..."

Why is he coming to see a doctor while he's here?

There was nothing wrong with seeing a doctor, except that her greedy and irritable behavior would be exposed...

However, this was the Queen Mother's grace, and she could not refuse it.

After all, apart from the Queen Mother and the Emperor, who else in the palace was qualified to ask the Court Judge to see a doctor?

She could only reply, "Then I'll have to trouble Court Judge Zhang." Then she sat down aside.

Ren Dong hurriedly took a silk handkerchief and covered her wrist. Court Judge Zhang put his finger on it, frowning and thinking carefully, as if he was more careful than when he was seeing the Queen Mother.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the system dinged, [There is a melon from Court Judge Zhang. ]

Yan Shu was a little bored, and immediately asked, [What melon? 】

System,【This man had a genius doctor as his teacher when he was young, and studied medicine for twenty years. After he became an official, he was ungrateful and not only stole his master's ancestral secrets, but also drove his master out of the capital, and finally died of depression. 】

Yan Shu,【……】

Instantly lost all her good feelings towards the old man in front of her.

Fortunately, at this time, the other party finally moved his hand away and said, "Your Excellency is in good health, but you are a little bit irritated. The diet should focus on nourishing and moisturizing, and remember not to take too much warm food."

This disease was diagnosed quite accurately, and it seemed that he still had some skills. Yan Shu said politely, "Thank you for the reminder, judge."

Then she saw the Queen Mother waved her hand and said to her, "You go back first."

Yan Shu agreed and left the palace obediently. After she walked away, the Queen Mother

sent the people around her away and asked Zhang Shengkang, "What do you think?"

Zhang Shengkang whispered, "If the Queen wants a grandson, she has to wait a little longer. Li Guiyi is probably still a virgin."

~~ Leaving Ci'an Palace, Yan Shu returned to Ganlu Palace eating Zhang Shengkang's melons all the way, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. ——Why did the Queen Mother ask the imperial physician to diagnose her pulse? At first, she thought that the Queen Mother was anxious to have a grandson, so she wanted to see if she was pregnant. However, thinking carefully, it has been less than half a month since the first day the Emperor went to Ganlu Palace. Even if she was pregnant, she couldn't diagnose it, right? The Queen Mother had given birth to a child, so it is impossible for her not to have this common sense. In addition, the judge Zhang was a direct disciple of the miracle doctor, so his medical skills must be amazing, otherwise the queen mother would not trust him... She was suddenly shocked - could this man tell that she had never slept with the emperor? And thus knew that the emperor was not capable! ~~ As dusk fell, Yuwen Lan stepped into Ganlu Palace again. He had been a little anxious today, and wanted to verify whether the changes this morning were related to her. So he walked in a hurry all the way, and even went straight into the palace without asking the palace servants to pass on the message. When he raised his head, he saw the girl sitting on the warm couch, one hand on her chin, frowning, as if thinking about some difficult problem. Until she caught a glimpse of him in the corner of her eye, she stood up slowly and saluted, "Your Majesty." Hmm? Yuwen Lan looked at her and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?" Yan Shu hummed and said casually, "I was just thinking about how to write the script..." She glanced at him with the rest of her eyes, but suddenly sighed in her heart, "Emperor, oh emperor, do you know that your secret is about to be exposed?" What? Yuwen Lan paused, his secret is about to be exposed? What does this mean? He thought vigilantly, did she tell someone else? Then she took the initiative to say, "The Queen Mother summoned me to talk this morning, and I happened to meet Zhang Yuanpan asking for my pulse. The Queen Mother showed mercy and asked Zhang Yuanpan to check my body." Yuwen Lan didn't understand her intention for a moment, and still asked vigilantly, "How was it?" Yan Shu said, "It's nothing serious. Zhang Yuanpan said that I was a little irritated." But in her heart she said anxiously, [Don't you understand? It is said that Zhang Yuanpan is a great doctor. He might be able to tell that I haven't slept with you! ] [If you leave a beauty like me alone, people will suspect you, you know? ] [Why don't you think of a way to deal with it quickly? Otherwise, they will all know that you can't XX! ! ! ] Yuwen Lan, "..." Well, he finally reacted. ——According to his understanding, the Queen Mother would never ask Zhang Shengkang to take her pulse for no reason. So, the Queen Mother really wanted to know something. Of course, compared to Yan Shu, the Queen Mother would definitely prefer to let Concubine Zhou be favored by him.

But the woman was selfish, stupid and vicious, not to mention that she was from the Zhou family, so he couldn't even pretend to be nice.

The world belongs to the Yuwen family, not the Zhou family. Obediently giving her the position of imperial concubine and ensuring the prosperity and wealth of the Zhou family was his greatest way to repay the Queen Mother for raising him.

He could be filial to the Queen Mother, but he couldn't trust her completely, so even though he knew that Zhang Shengkang was a skilled doctor, he never asked him to check his pulse since he had something wrong with his body.

Of course, he hadn't entered the harem for three years, and the Queen Mother probably had some suspicions about him in her heart, so she asked Zhang Shengkang to check Yan Shu's pulse this time.

But he had already made preparations, not to mention that there were signs of improvement now.

He cast his gaze towards the girl in front of him, and for a moment he had an indescribable feeling in his heart - it turned out that she was worrying about him while thinking so hard?

However, under his gentle gaze, the girl suddenly yawned, her eyes full of tears.

Yuwen Lan, "..."

It was hard for her to worry about him all day, he said, "If you really can't figure it out, think about it tomorrow, you will get better, don't work too hard."

Yan Shu thought that after saying so much, he, the king, should understand, if he really didn't understand, there was nothing she could do, so she said yes and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When she came out after washing, she saw that the emperor had already unbuttoned his clothes and was waiting on the couch.

Yan Shu, "..."

She really admired him a little bit, this man really tried hard to hide his tracks, and he didn't hesitate to sleep with her every day.

Yuwen Lan, who was quietly waiting for his beauty, "???"

What is this?

Shouldn't she be moved?

He patted the bed, "Come up quickly, don't catch a cold."

Yan Shu agreed and climbed up.

Just as she lay down, she was embraced by him.

She heard him whisper in her ear, "Why did you crawl into my arms last night?"

His voice was unprecedentedly gentle.

What?

Yan Shu was confused.

Did she crawl into his arms last night? How come she doesn't remember it at all?

Yuwen Lan, "???"

Don't remember?

Is she not intentionally helping him recover?

But she laughed with a fake smile on her face, "I probably had a dream last night and accidentally bumped into Your Majesty..."

Yuwen Lan said, "What did you dream about last night?"

Yan Shu tried to recall, "I dreamed of being chased last night. At first, I was running for my life all over the mountains and plains. Later, I happened to find a tree hole that could accommodate people, so I hid in it..."

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Well, it turns out that I was mistaken for a tree hole.

He thought too much.

He suddenly felt a little cold inexplicably in his heart, but thinking about it again, he still couldn't find any other reason for his change this morning except her...

Forget it, even if it wasn't her fault, it must be related to her.

So he made up his mind to try again tonight to see if there would be another surprise tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, he said, "Then let's go to sleep." Then he closed his eyes.

However, not long after, his ears were filled with the voice of her muttering in her heart -

[The pan-fried buns just out of the pot, crispy on the bottom, soft on the top, and the best part is the stuffing inside, the fennel pork is juicy when you bite into it, and the leeks and shrimps are so fresh, wow! 】

Yuwen Lan, "???"

Before he could open his mouth to ask, he heard her continue, [No, I'll choke if I just eat fried buns, I have to have some millet noodle porridge to fill my stomach, tsk, the freshly ground millet noodles are sticky and full of the aroma of grains...]

[No, no, no, the millet noodle porridge is a bit bland, it must be paired with spiced mutton to be tasty, and the fried buns must be paired with hot tofu pudding, the white, tender and smooth tofu pudding is poured with the brine just out of the pot, and some chili oil, chives, and coriander powder are a must! ]

[Oh no, the spicy tofu pudding with fried buns may still be a bit too salty, it is right with the freshly fried big dough sticks! It's so crispy when you bite it! 】

Yuwen Lan, "???"

What's going on?

The author has something to say:

Emperor: I am touched. My beloved concubine has devoted all her energy to me. It is obvious that I am the only one in her heart.

Yan Shu: Pan-fried buns, big fried dough sticks, spiced mutton, tofu pudding, all of them are better than me.

Emperor: ...

--Emperor

: That thing has not been successful yet. I still need to work hard! Don't worry, my friends, I will definitely get better!
