Chapter 270
Early the next morning, Wei Yan went to the Pepper Room Hall
He had been in the Imperial Hospital for several years, and he did not know how many times he had come to the Hall of Pepper Rooms
Every time he came, the mood was roughly similar: boredom and hatred, but had to force himself to endure
This time, however, there was a never-before-seen leap of anticipation
It had been more than half a month since Ling Jingshu had entered the palace
Unfortunately, he had been staying in the Purple Palace and had no time or opportunity to come to the Pepper Room Hall
The two of them were so close to each other, yet they had no chance to see each other
The last time the two of them met was a year ago, so counting, the two have not seen each other for more than a month
Thinking about this, Wei Yan’s footsteps subconsciously quickened, secretly expecting to meet her unexpectedly
I don’t know which god heard his prayers
As soon as he stepped into the Pepper Room Hall, the familiar soulful figure appeared in front of him
The slender girl in the light green palace dress came side by side with the rest of the several female officials
The morning sunlight sprinkled on her white jade-like pretty face, and the slightly curved corners of her lips softened her face
No need to be intentional, but when she raises her hands and throws her feet, she has her own demeanor that is hard for others to match
Beautiful and calm, pleasing to the eye
It was Ling Jingshu!
Thanks to his superior self-control, Wei Yan was able to maintain his usual calm demeanor
At this moment, there seemed to be a telepathic connection between his heart and mind
Ling Jingshu also raised her eyes to look over
Wei Yan’s mood suddenly improved when he saw the surprise that flashed through those bright and clear eyes
Seeing him, her heart was also joyful
Between the four eyes looking at each other, complex and subtle emotions silently grew and flowed
It was a pity that this was the Pepper Palace
There were still many eyesores on the side, and the two could only quickly glance at each other before each averted their gazeIt’s Imperial Doctor Wei!”
Qiushang slightly excitedly yelled in a small voiceThere’s no need for you to say this, it’s not like we don’t know Eunuch Wei”
The one who took over the conversation was Falling Goose, a pair of almond eyes sneaking over from time to time
The slender and beautiful looking Xue Su was much more reserved, and reminded in a low voice, “You two can’t gabble, if someone hears you and passes it on to the Empress Mother’s ears, you’ll be reprimanded again”
Rui Lian glanced at Wei Yan, then said with a straight face, “What Xue Su said is true
We are the people beside the Empress, we must pay attention to our words and actions, and must not lose the face of the Empress”
Yao Huang, who was slightly older and quite calm in nature, did not say anything
However, he couldn’t help but look twice in Wei Yan’s direction
Being in the palace, all you see every day are women, and a bunch of un-masculine and thin-speaking chamberlains
The imperial guards cannot easily enter the harem without being summoned
The doctors in the Imperial Hospital were able to enter and leave the palace, but unfortunately most of them were old or mediocre in appearance
In such a situation, the young and handsome Wei Yan, who had outstanding medical skills and cleanliness, undoubtedly became the most special existence in the eyes of all the court ladies
Qiu Frost and the others were no exception
Even if they knew that Wei Yan was not close to women, even if they knew that they couldn’t possibly win Wei Yan’s favor, their hearts couldn’t help but pound when they saw Wei Yan
As Ling Jingshu listened to the light laughter and whispering of Qiu Frost, her heart inexplicably surged with a bit of annoyance
Quickly, she suppressed this undeserved emotion
She and Wei Yan were familiar with each other and knew each other’s secrets
But that was all!
Other women adored Wei Yan, who was she to be upset?
Soon, Wei Yan walked in front of the female officialsGreetings, Imperial Doctor Wei”
Several female officials saluted together, and Ling Jingshu was among them
The female officials beside Empress Xu were all more scenic and arrogant than one another
Normally, when they walked around the palace, only others flattered and ingratiated themselves with them
It was only when they met Wei Yan that all of them would be this polite and courteous
Wei Yan smiled gently, “You all don’t need to be polite, get up quickly”
The warm and nice voice was slightly low, as if a warm spring breeze, gently brushing across the ears
Ling Jingshu stood up straight and quickly glanced at Wei Yan
Wei Yan seemed to have noticed her small movements, and a hint of joyful laughter floated in his eyes
He and Ling Jingshu were already acquainted with each other, so it was only natural to say hello at this time, otherwise, wouldn’t it seem like he had a weak heart?
Wei Yan quickly convinced himself, and then opened his mouth with a smile, “Miss Ling has been in the palace for some days now, I wonder what kind of work she is doing now?
Can you still adapt to life in the palace?”
Ling Jingshu smiled and replied, “Thank you for your concern, Dr Wei
I’m now in charge of serving the flowers and plants, Empress Dowager treats people generously, and sister Ruilian, sister Qiushang, and the others also take extra care of me
There’s nothing I’m not used to in the palace”
These words were of course said to a few female officials
Empress Xu is sinister and ruthless with a deep heart, and the word “generous” has nothing to do with it
Several female officials in the Pepper Room Hall are also not good, not to ostracize and make things difficult for Ling Jingshu would be good, how to care about the care
Ling Jingshu at home is a girl, clothing, food, housing and transportation are served
But when she entered the palace, she had to serve people with a lowered brow
How could she possibly get used to it?
In the end, it was all because he had dragged her down!
Wei Yan’s heart was filled with apologies and pity
In front of a crowd of female officials, he could not say anything, but could only smile gently and blandly, “That’s good”
Having said these two extra words, it was already quite eye-catching
Wei Yan forced himself to avert his gaze and said to Rui Lian, “Miss Rui Lian, please inform the Empress Dowager that I’ve come to ask for a peaceful pulse for the Empress Dowager”
Rui Lian responded in a happy mood under the slightly envious gazes of Qiushang and the othersReporting to Empress Dowager, Imperial Doctor Wei has come to ask for a peaceful pulse for the Empress, and is waiting outside the hall at this time”
After the crowd of female officials entered the main hall, Rui Lian immediately stepped forward to report
Empress Xu’s eyes flickered as she raised her lips, “Declare Imperial Doctor Wei to come in”
Her gaze swept over Ling Jingshu’s face intentionally or unintentionally
Ling Jingshu stood with her head hanging down in a bundle, standing side by side with a few of the Qiu Frosts, unable to see the slightest difference
How could she be fooled by this pretense?
Empress Xu secretly snorted in her heart
Not to say anything else, just for Wei Yan had several times for her diagnosis and treatment, but also can see Wei Yan and her between the unusual
Now that she was in the Pepper Room Hall, right under her nose, she wanted to see how the two of them would still be eye-to-eye!
Soon, Wei Yan’s figure appeared in front of Empress Xu
As soon as Wei Yan appeared, Empress Xu’s attention immediately shifted over and said with a smile, “Imperial Doctor Wei came to the Pepper Room Hall so early to give this palace a peaceful pulse, this palace is very pleased”
Wei Yan responded with an arch of his hand without being overbearing, “This is my humble servant’s duty
Your Majesty’s phoenix body is in good health, so that the harem can be as stable as Mount Taishan”
Wei Yan was usually silent and rarely spoke, but today, he was willing to say a few words of flattery
Empress Xu’s eyes flashed with pleasure, signaling Wei Yan to come forward
