Chapter 48: Memories of the king across the blue sky (2)

I closed my eyes, something cold fell off, I turned around, the medicine was already fried, and when I turned back, the figure had disappeared. I sighed. The maid here was missing her whereabouts. I thought she was distracted by him, but I didn't realize it. Maybe it was too fascinating before.
Wiping the corners of his eyes, Hui Ju entered at this moment. I pointed to the medicine that had been cured: "You take it to the prince."
Hui Ju looked at me carefully: "Manny, what's wrong with you?"
I looked up: "What? What's wrong?"
Hui Ju shook her head: "The empress has a bad face."
I paused: "The sky is too boring. The ventilation here doesn't seem to be good. It's nothing. How's the prince?"
Hui Ju poured the black and bitter concoction from the medicine pot in his hand into a celadon lotus-wrapped bowl, without raising his head and saying, "The prince has just suddenly gotten ill. Everyone has passed away, so let's go for what I want here. "
I mentioned to my throat, what happened to him, was it a phantom that I saw before?
Hui Ju put the medicine bowl into the tray and smiled and said, "But soon the prince will get better. First of all, the house is full of medicine, so I asked the maids to pick some twigs, and said that the weather was sultry and the eunuchs hurried to go. The House of Internal Affairs brought new ice cubes. Later, there were only a few of us left. He said that we were too tired to sit down. The servants and maidservants came over to take a look at the time.
I nodded, but I laughed in my heart. He did so, but it violated his always-so-easy character. Well, what I saw before was not my illusion, it was him, it was him.
A huge joy rose in his heart, but at the same time he was deeply worried about his physical condition, can he get out of bed and walk around. Thinking of this, he quickly summoned Hui Ju to take the medicine.
He was lying on the bed, seeming to be asleep, with a peaceful expression and a slight smile, but his eyelids jumped and his breathing seemed unnatural.
I knew that he was not asleep. Looking next to him, new pine and cypresses and some rose flowers have been inserted in the wrong gold vase of Hetian Baiyu, and a new ice sculpture was placed on the side. Slightly lofty aroma.
When I walked in, I waved their hands and motioned to them not to make a sound. The attendants thought that I didn't want to interrupt him to rest, but the medicine in Hui Ju's hand was still hot. This medicine must be drunk while it is hot and it will work.
When I walked to his bed, his breathing was obviously a little fast, and he knew that I was right beside him. I looked at his slightly flushed face, he should have me in his heart, but I couldn't be happy.
I blew the hot medicine and handed it to the maid beside me with a heartbreak: "Wait for the medicine to warm up and call the prince to get up and use it."
The maid nodded and took it. I got up to leave. As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a loud noise, a flash of light appeared on the horizon, and the heavy rain fell instantly.
I stopped my foot, and a voice came from behind: "The rain is so heavy, the empress should wait a while before leaving."
Looking back, he had leaned on the dark blue silk pillow, his eyes were full of smiles, but his tone was respectful and unfamiliar.
I gripped the door frame tightly and turned around with a polite smile. The corners of the water-blue pleated skirt made a beautiful circle and lightly attached it to my body. I lowered my head and said: I've been harassing the prince for a while."
He was half leaning, I sat by his window not far away, watching the maid bring the medicine to him, he frowned and drank it.
The medicine was extremely bitter, and his face became slightly bitter. I suppressed my smile and turned my head to look at the ripples of the small pond from the raindrops outside the window, feeling sad.
I just feel that if I meet him before entering the palace, there will be one less queen in the palace. Even if I don’t want to, I have to participate in the and dark battle in the deep palace. Even if I don’t love, I have to fight another queen. The man showed false joy.
In this world, there is an extra pair of gods and goddesses, who enjoy the flute and discuss poetry, cruising between the mountains and rivers.
Thinking about it, there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, but the corner of his eyes became sore.
"The medicine is bitter, can you prepare honey water?" I seemingly fiddled with the broken hair on my forehead, but the back of my hand gently wiped it from my eyes. "Yes, the slave and maid will get it." The woman who gave him said, and I frowned: "It's too late to get it now."
Her eyes fell coldly on the woman, her face changed, and she bowed her head silently. "That's all, you need to pay attention in the future. If the emperor knew about it, it wouldn't be like this."
I said solemnly, and the woman nodded: "The slave and maid got it." After speaking, she got up and went out.
I looked at her light orange dress and the slightly expensive jewelry on her head, which was very different from the other maids. I wondered, but his light cough called my attention. Turning back, he was staring with piercing eyes. I laughed when I saw him.
He tilted his head and looked out the window, his eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully like a child: "The rain has stopped."
When I turned back, the rain came and went quickly in summer. Outside the half-open window, a ray of bright golden light sprinkled, and the surface of the water was shimmering like broken gold. The air is also fresher, no longer feeling stuffy and unbearable.
"Yeah, the rain stopped, my palace..." Before I finished speaking, I saw him get up, and the maid beside him was busy putting a moon-white dress on him.
He said with a weak smile: "The room is really boring, I want to go for a walk, and send it off by the way..."
He choked, and said in a very low voice: "Send the emperor's wife by the way."
I looked terrified and became sad, but looked at him with a smile: "If the prince is unwell, it should be avoided."
He stubbornly shook his head: "This king just wants to go out and get some air. I don't know if the queen is willing to let Xiao Wang give it away."
I bit my lower lip: "Of course."
I walked side by side with him on a path full of flowers, and the attendants followed closely behind. I only looked at the colorful flowers on the side of the road. There was a sweet smell in the air after the rain. Relaxed and happy.
As soon as I looked up, a rainbow flew over the sky, and I couldn't help clapping my hands: "Rainbow!"
After I said it, I regretted it, what an unruly behavior. But he looked at me with a cozy smile. A breeze blew up our clothes. The light blue ribbon on my body gently hit the corner of his robe, sometimes entwined with the ribbon of the jade pendant hanging down. It just swayed with that.
"It was impolite just now, and the prince laughed." I said, the voice was too loud before, and the attendants at the back might have heard it all, so I had to cover it up.
He shook his head and looked at me with a serious expression and said softly, "For this moment, forget who we are, okay?"
His gaze looked at the dragonfly resting on the lotus in the pond. The soft and transparent wings turned against the blue light in the sun. I followed his gaze and the dragonfly fluttered its wings and flew away. With butterflies flying lightly around, I nodded.
We walked in silence like this for a long time, looking at the same scenery, we walked calmly, with shallow but happy smiles on our faces, saying nothing, but we seemed to say a lot.
"That purse, I didn't lose it." He suddenly said such a sentence, I looked up at him puzzledly, but he just smiled and said nothing.
I became more suspicious, and suddenly remembered what Shen Xiyao said before, could it be...I looked up at him with disbelief and sadness in my eyes: "Could it be that you went back just for it?"
My voice choked up. He didn't look at me, but stared at a stream of clouds in the blue sky in the distance, and nodded gently.
My heart seemed to be squeezed so hard that it was so painful that I could hardly breathe. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. When I opened them, they were already full of tears, and I resisted letting them fall.
"Not worth it." I said softly.
A sad smile at the corner of his mouth: "No, now, it is my most important thing."
He said that he couldn't help but reached into his sleeve, but he came out empty-handed after a while, his fist was clenched and released, and he looked back into my eyes deeply.
"But now, I really want to stay there forever, on the night I found it. The stars in the sky were so bright at that time, just like that person’s eyes. I would like to look at them forever without knowing that she was Who. Doing my dreams. Never wake up."
He paused and said: "On the battlefield, I have never been afraid of anything. Greatness is a life, but also for this picturesque country, but this time I am afraid, afraid that I will never see her again. Even when I suddenly meet When I arrived at the enemy, I also told myself to come back and I must fulfill my oath to her."
His tone was so sad and sorrowful, and my heart twitched, and I seemed to be drained of all my strength. "Xihe, I..."
I couldn't say anything, his voice sobbed, and he said softly: "Don't say anything, as long as I see you, I will be fine."
It was so easy to sleep for a while, but it was all dreams. It was his sad eyes looking at me, and his pale lips saying something, but I couldn't hear it, I could only look at his sad face and sigh.
I was tossed on the bed, and someone gently pushed me "Niang Niang, Niang Niang." It was Hui Ju's voice.
I opened my eyes and Hui Ju looked at me nervously: "What's wrong with my mother?"
I shook my head, my eyelids heavy: "Today's morning twilight will be saved, I will sleep for a while, if the emperor comes, you come in and call me."
After that, she turned over and fell asleep before Hui Ju could reply.
I got up, half leaning against the big embroidered pillow on the bed, Hui Ju brought the medicine in and fed me. It was a refreshing medicine with a slight sweetness in the bitterness. I took a few sips, not as uncomfortable as the morning , Looked at Hui Ju and asked, "How is my face?"
Hui Ju took a look at me and replied: "The lady's face is a little pale, but it's better than in the morning."
I nodded: "There will be a family dinner at noon, you and I will choose a piece of clothing and jewelry."
After speaking, the hand that helped Hui Ju was about to get out of bed, the door was pushed open, and Shen Xiyao walked in with a look of concern, holding on to me who was about to get up and took my hand.
"I heard that you are not very good today, but are still uncomfortable? Is the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician yesterday useless?"
I smiled and said: "The wind blew yesterday, and there was a cicada screaming on the tree outside at night. The concubine didn't sleep well, so I just fell asleep for an hour today."
I smiled very lightly. He frowned and looked at me carefully after listening: "Today's family dinner has been pushed into the night, so you can rest and recuperate."
There was a sour feeling in my heart: "Does it matter if you postpone it? Will Wang Wei..."
He shook his head: "Wang Wei has nothing to do. You take a rest. It just so happens that Xihe also rests more so that we can go to a banquet together in the evening."
I nodded, trying to pretend to be indifferent and said: "The prince was in a better spirit when the concubines left yesterday. I have already asked the maids who decoct medicine."
He laughed: "That decocting medicine is now done by the bed attendant I rewarded him."
My heart sank. I actually forgot that he actually had a woman who counted as a side room. There was a little unhappy in his heart, but why should I be unhappy.
A bleak smile appeared on himself, but fortunately, Shen Xiyao turned around and asked Hui Ju about the situation of my medication, but I had returned to my usual expression the moment he turned around.
"I'm going to the Imperial Study Room, where several ministers are waiting for something to be played."
I was about to get out of bed to send him off, but he told me not to use a gesture: "Take a good rest, I'll be back later." I nodded the boss to send him out, and got up.
