Si Muran couldn't sit still anymore when she saw everyone surrounding the empress dowager. It was just a fishbone stuck. Si Muran searched the Encyclopedia in her head and soon got a notification.
Si Muran walked over and said to the anxious crowd,""Don't panic, I have a way!”
Other than Concubine Ning who was glaring at Si Muran unkindly, everyone else was looking at her in surprise. Si Muran then instructed the personal palace maid beside the empress dowager,""Please go to the imperial kitchen and get some vinegar, and then bring some steamed buns over.”
The empress dowager was feeling uncomfortable at the moment. When she heard Si Muran say that she had a way to remove the fishbone, she quickly waved her hand to signal the palace maid to do it. The palace maid immediately rushed to the imperial kitchen after receiving the order.
Concubine Ning pointed at Si Muran angrily and said,""If you can't relieve the Empress Dowager's pain, you won't escape death.”
Si Muran rolled her eyes at her. She really didn't understand why this woman was always picking on her. Si Muran shrugged and nodded.”
Just as he was speaking, he saw a palace maid rush in. A small jade bowl filled with aged vinegar was brought in, smelling a strong sour smell. Si Muran took it and walked to the empress dowager's side.""Grand Empress Dowager, although it's a little sour, please drink this vinegar.”
The empress dowager looked at Si Muran suspiciously. The other concubines were also confused. Why would they drink vinegar when a fish bone was stuck in their throat?
Seeing the empress dowager's doubts, Si Muran promised,""If my method is unable to relieve the pain of the Empress Dowager, I am willing to die to atone for my sins.”
Si Muran said calmly. Actually, she could have just treated this matter as if it had nothing to do with her. But seeing the Empress Dowager's pained expression, she couldn't bear it.
The Empress Dowager took the small bowl and gulped down the sour vinegar in a few gulps. Her expression was distorted. Si Muran took the steamed bun and handed it to the empress dowager.""Grand Empress Dowager, eat a few mouthfuls. Don't chew and swallow.”
The empress dowager took a bite of the steamed bun and listened to Si Muran's words without chewing. After a few bites, the empress dowager clearly felt that the fishbone stuck in her throat was gone.
The Empress Dowager touched her throat, her face filled with disbelief."Eh, the fish bones are gone. Aijia feels much better."
A smile appeared on Si Muran's face. Jin Lin looked at Si Muran in surprise.
The empress dowager's gaze fell on Si Muran as well. She asked curiously,""Tell this widow, how did you do it?”
Si Muran smiled and explained to everyone,""This fishbone is hard, but this vinegar can soften it. After the fish bones softened, they would be digested along with the food, so naturally, they would be fine.”
Everyone nodded as if they had learned a lesson. The empress dowager happily held Si Muran's hand and said,""You really are a blessed person. Today you saved this widow, this widow will definitely reward you heavily.”
Si Muran shook her head and said seriously,""As long as you are fine, Empress Dowager, I will be at ease.”
The empress dowager nodded and looked at Si Muran with admiration. At this moment, the imperial physician from the Imperial Academy of Medicine had also rushed over. The imperial physician checked the empress dowager's pulse and found that everything was normal. Only then did he use his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
The concubines who had originally looked down on Si Muran saw that Si Muran had suddenly gained the favor of the Empress Dowager, and their attitudes changed drastically.
Ning Fei didn't expect Si Muran to be in the limelight. She looked at Si Muran who was surrounded by everyone and clenched her fists. Thinking about how Pei Chenshuo was reluctant to part with her and how he was now the empress dowager's favorite, Concubine Ning gritted her teeth and a thought flashed through her mind.
Concubine Ning took out a scented sachet from her sleeve and walked towards Si Muran. "Miss Si is indeed extremely intelligent. Today, you have really opened my eyes.”Concubine Ning said as she slowly pulled Si Muran's hand, but secretly stuffed the sachet in her hand into Si Muran's sleeve.
"In the future, you have to come to BenGong's place often.”Concubine Ning said with a smile.
Si Muran only felt goosebumps all over her body. Concubine Ning was being so attentive for no reason. She was either a traitor or a thief! "Empress is too polite." Si Muran replied with a smile.
Concubine Ning let go of Si Muran's hand, the corners of her lips curled up into a charming smile. Si Muran stayed in Cisheng Palace until the afternoon before leaving with everyone.
Not long after they returned to their residence, a guard invited Si Muran to investigate the construction site outside the city. Si Muran thought that Zi Yang had changed the blueprint and left with the guards.
Si Muran looked around when she left the palace gate. She saw that the Ministry of Works was digging a ditch. Because it had rained a few days ago, the ditch was full of mud.
Just as Si Muran was feeling puzzled, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her, causing Si Muran to almost jump up. "Are you looking for this king?" Pei Chenshuo asked from behind Si Muran.
Si Muran turned around and saw Pei Chenshuo standing with his hands behind his back. His starry eyes shone with a faint luster, and the corners of his lips gave off an unfathomable feeling.
"You called me here?" Si Muran didn't see Zi Yang and immediately understood.
Pei Chenshuo nodded, his face innocent.""Didn't Imperial Preceptor say that you can suppress evil spirits? Otherwise, if something happens, how will I explain it to His Majesty?”
Si Muran could not help but roll her eyes when she heard Pei Chenshuo's high-sounding reason. Wasn't it just digging a ditch? Could it be that he could dig out a thousand-year-old snake demon?
Pei Chenshuo saw Si Muran's disdainful look and became more curious. "What do you mean by the engineering blueprints you mentioned in the morning? How can you understand those things?”Pei Chenshuo asked.
Si Muran finally understood that Pei Chenshuo had called her over to get to the bottom of it. But what kind of lie could she use to deceive Pei Chenshuo, this smart guy? Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a voice with a croaky voice call out,"The Emperor has arrived."
Si Muran looked like she had met her savior. The people from the Ministry of Works stopped their work and welcomed him with Pei Chenshuo."To the emperor."
The Emperor supported him with his hand and said,"Stand up. Zhen is here to see how the ditch is progressing."”
Pei Chenshuo stepped forward and replied,"Your Majesty, everything is going smoothly."”
The Emperor was overjoyed and smiled,""That's good. This way, Zhen will be at ease. You guys continue, zhen is just looking around."
The people from the Ministry of Works received the order and continued to dig the ditch.
The Emperor looked around and his gaze finally fell on Si Muran. He recalled what the state preceptor had said about this woman's extraordinary life. It seemed like she had something to do with the smooth excavation of the ditch.
With that thought in mind, the Emperor walked towards Si Muran. Si Muran was at a loss when she saw the Emperor walking towards her. She could only lower her head to avoid offending the Emperor.
The summer breeze blew past, and a faint fragrance entered the emperor's nose. This fragrance seemed to come from this woman. The Emperor's eyes lit up and his scrutinizing gaze fell on Si Muran.""Raise your head."
Si Muran's eyes turned and she raised her head slightly, but she did not dare to meet the Emperor's gaze. "What's your name?" The Emperor lightly sniffed, a wisp of fragrance making his mood exceptionally relaxed.
"I'm Si Ting." Si Muran replied carefully.
The Emperor took a few more steps towards Si Muran. The fragrance was getting stronger and stronger, making one unable to resist. The Emperor lifted Si Muran's chin with one hand, his gaze constantly sizing her up. Although this woman's appearance was ordinary, her figure was extremely good and she stood out.
Si Muran suddenly felt a sense of danger. Her strong intuition told her that the Emperor seemed to have some interest in her. Si Muran cursed in her heart. Unfortunately, Zi Yang wasn't around. Who could save him from this crisis?
The emperor's lips were about to fall when Si Muran suddenly saw Pei Chenshuo not far away and threw him a pleading look. Pei Chenshuo knew that Si Muran had caught the emperor's eye. He looked around and his gaze fell on the ditch behind Si Muran.
"It smells so good." The Emperor closed his eyes and sniffed the air. He slowly moved closer to Si Muran. Pei Chenshuo saw the opportunity and suddenly picked up the stone on the ground and used his internal energy to hit Si Muran's knee.
Si Muran suddenly cried out in pain,"" Ah..." He staggered a few steps and fell into the muddy ditch behind him.
When the Emperor opened his eyes, he saw Si Muran standing in the ditch, covered in mud. She looked extremely pathetic. For a moment, all his thoughts were gone. The Emperor could not help but turn around with a cold expression,"Back to the palace."
"Farewell, Emperor." Everyone's respectful greetings pulled Si Muran back from her dazed state.
Seeing the Emperor walk away, the people from the Ministry of Works couldn't help but laugh. "What are you laughing at? Damn it!" Si Muran cursed angrily and climbed up from the ditch.
Pei Chenshuo covered his nose, unable to hide the smile on his lips. Si Muran glared at him fiercely, then shook off the mud on her body. A sachet fell from Si Muran's sleeve, but she didn't notice it.
"It's all your fault. You're really despicable." Si Muran looked at her disheveled appearance and could not help but complain to Pei Chenshuo.
"It's fine if you don't thank this king, but you actually blame this king. You really don't know what's good for you! Could it be that you are so angry because you want to be the emperor's concubine?”Pei Chenshuo teased.
Si Muran gritted her teeth. She knew that Pei Chenshuo was helping her, but couldn't he think of a better way? He had made her look so miserable. He was really embarrassed!
Pei Chenshuo covered his nose with a look of disdain.""You'd better go back and wash up. It really stinks.”
Si Muran took a whiff. Indeed, the mud was stinky. Si Muran did not know whether to laugh or cry. She threw a few pieces of mud onto Pei Chenshuo's clothes to vent her anger."Humph." Si Muran raised her chin provocatively and left resentfully.
Pei Chenshuo looked at the dirt on his snow-white clothes. For the first time, he did not get angry. Instead, he smiled.
This woman was really cute. Pei Chenshuo shook his head and looked at the sachet that fell from Si Muran's body. Pei Chenshuo picked it up and sniffed it.
This fragrance was the Emperor's favorite, and there was only one person in the harem who knew that the Emperor loved this fragrance and always had this kind of sachet.
Concubine Ning. Pei Chenshuo's eyes were cold as he held the sachet tightly in his hand!
Si Muran walked back with a body full of stinky mud and instantly became a sight to behold in the palace. Si Muran lowered her head and cursed Pei Chenshuo's eighteen generations of ancestors in her heart. When she returned to her residence, Si Muran immediately ordered the palace maids to prepare hot water for a bath and change clothes.
Fortunately, Si Muran's status in the palace was extraordinary, so the servants did not dare to neglect her. A few moments later, a palace maid had prepared a petal bath and clean clothes.
Si Muran took off her muddy clothes and comfortably soaked in the bathtub filled with flower petals. Si Muran didn't do anything for the entire afternoon. She just washed her body. However, she could still smell the stench on her body.
Si Muran gritted her teeth in anger. She was thinking about how she could get Pei Chenshuo, that bastard, into the mud as well.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 24PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
