Chapter 2452 Heart-Basing Pill
In a blink of an eye, a few days passed.
That night, Xue Yun finished preparing the last bit of incense in his room and breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
She asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
Wei's voice came from outside the door. Xue Yun frowned slightly, hurriedly closed the box of incense, got up and walked over to open the door, and saw Wei standing at the door.
Xue Yun asked doubtfully, "Mother?"
Under the night sky, Wei Shi rarely wore heavy makeup or pearl hairpins on her head. Instead, she wore simple casual clothes. The white gauze made her skin look a little darker, and she did not look as domineering as she did when she wore exquisite makeup.
I feel a little haggard.
The atmosphere at home has been bad these days. Knowing that Wei still wanted to go to the palace to see the emperor, she was so angry that she argued with her again. Both of them were a little angry and didn't talk much for several days.
Upon seeing her like this, Xue Yun had been telling himself to harden his heart in order to prevent himself from retreating like in the past, but at this moment, his heart couldn't help but soften.
After all, she is my mother.
Xue Yun whispered, "Mother, why are you here?"
Wei stood at the door, and said calmly with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Why, I came to see you, but you still want to stop me from entering?"
"No, of course not."
Xue Yun quickly took a step back and let her into the house.
Wei walked in, looked around the simple room, and then his eyes fell on an exquisite lacquer box on the table, with some scattered herbs and spices next to it.
"You, what are you doing?"
"Prepare some medicinal herbs."
"do what?"
"The palace needs it."
"……oh."
Wei raised her eyebrows slightly, and spoke with a hint of coldness: "You are so devoted to your job as the Chief Judge of the Imperial Hospital that even when you return home, you are still busy with palace affairs."
Speaking of this, Xue Yun's face didn't look so good.
He simply said, "Since childhood, hasn't mother taught us to be single-minded in doing things?"
“…”
"This position as Chief Medical Officer of the Imperial Hospital is the first female medical officer since the founding of Yan State. It is a great honor and an opportunity for my daughter."
“…”
"Of course a daughter must be devoted."
"you--"
When Wei heard this, her face darkened and she gritted her teeth and said, "You just have to go against me, don't you?"
“…”
"You refuse to do what I tell you to do, and you insist on doing what I tell you not to do!"
Xue Yun said calmly, "What my mother wants her to do is, after all, to preserve the family business, isn't it?"
“…”
"That's what my daughter is doing now."
“…”
"If my daughter can gain the emperor's favor and receive a title that allows her stepson and grandson to inherit the family business, and then allow the Xue family to move to Yan Country as mother envisions, then this family business will not only be a matter of preservation, but will also grow larger and larger, even greater than the one created by my father."
"Yinfeng?"
Hearing these two words, Wei sneered.
He said, "How great a contribution do you think you can make? You only treat the illnesses of the ladies in the harem and prescribe medicine. Until you die, you will be nothing more than a doctor who is not exposed to the wind and rain."
“…”
"But if you become the emperor's concubine, you will rise to prominence!"
"Mother, stop talking!"
Xue Yun's face turned pale and he interrupted her.
It was really because these words had already pierced her heart.
As an imperial physician who often walked around the harem, how could she not know that the concubines in the harem were lazy and didn't know the difference between grains. They looked rich and prosperous, but in her opinion, they were just sitting back and waiting to die.
In fact, if they were not in the harem and had someone to support them, they would not even be able to support themselves.
However, just because she was the emperor's concubine, she was superior to everyone else.
Their families, brothers and sisters were also promoted because of this.
For many people, such an overnight success is too tempting.
But she knew very well in her heart what she wanted.
Although, when facing Zhu Feng, her heart would still beat fast, and when she gave him acupuncture, every needle felt like it was piercing her heart.
even--
In the silent night, she still couldn't help but think about it.
If, if Zhu Feng really gave himself a "status".
If I could really become his woman...
However, just thinking about it would make her feel an indescribable sadness, as if a voice kept ringing in her mind: No, no!
No matter how much I like him or love him, his side is not the place where I should stay.
She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Mother, please don't mention this matter again."
“…”
"Since His Majesty has appointed his daughter as the Chief Judge of the Imperial Hospital, she is his official, not his woman."
“…”
"Be an official and do what you can do. I can do the same!"
"you--"
Wei's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You, are you going to piss me off to death?"
After saying that, he started coughing violently.
She has always been a mountain-like existence. After her husband passed away, she took care of the family business with her daughter. She is strong and must be strong. In Xue Yun's eyes, his mother is even a person who never bends down.
But at this moment, she coughed desperately, as if she wanted to cough out all her internal organs, and her face turned blood red.
Moreover, people gradually became unstable.
He staggered two steps, backed away, holding onto the door, and nearly fell to the ground.
Xue Yun was frightened and hurried over to support her: "Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Wei was gasping for breath and couldn't even speak clearly. Xue Yun's face turned pale with fright. He hurriedly grabbed her hand to take her pulse. Wei was gasping for breath and barely squeezed out a few words from her throat.
"Heart-protecting pill...heart-protecting pill."
"Heart-protecting pill?"
Xue Yun was stunned, then he remembered that this was a medicine prepared by their East and West Hall, specially designed to treat symptoms such as lack of energy and stagnant qi in the elderly.
She hurriedly said, "Mother, you want to use the Heart-Protecting Pill? But I don't have any here!"
"I, in my room,"
Wei panted again and said intermittently: "There is a bottle in the luggage I brought. Hurry, go!"
Seeing that she was almost out of breath, Xue Yun hurriedly agreed, helped her sit on a chair beside him, turned around and ran out.
As he watched her walk out the door, Wei still had one hand covering his chest, breathing slightly.
But his expression was no longer as out of breath as before.
She grasped the armrest of the chair with one hand, slowly stood up and walked to the table where the lacquer box was placed.
