Chapter 30: Injury

After many days passed, Huiyan didn't find anything, and I also began to feel that I was too suspicious. Perhaps the prince was really just born with a deficiency. However, it seems that her sister has been investigating the Sixth Palace with impunity, and the hearts of the people in the palace are disturbed. Several pet concubines cry to the emperor, and the emperor is helpless.
On that day, when he went home to visit his father, before he left the town government, someone hurriedly reported that the queen was making a noise in the Qianyuan Hall and forced the emperor to kill Wei Fei. When I arrived at the Qianyuan Hall, I realized that the cause was that Wei Fei was resentful to the queen. In private, she said, "The little baby is weak, it is nothing new to die, and she is so fussy." The queen was furious and believed that the concubine Wei cursed the little prince. The emperor always loved Princess Fei, and when she heard that, she only lightly replied a few words, and even angered the Queen, she vowed to kill Princess Fei before she would give up.
It was as if her sister was furious and out of normal. Everyone took her helplessly and waited until I arrived, only to persuade her. The emperor temporarily banned the concubine for the sake of peace. It was easy to persuade the queen back to the Zhaoyang Hall. The emperor and I smiled bitterly, sitting together in the high and empty Qianyuan Hall and sighing.
"The emperor ..." I just said, but he interrupted me. "No one else is here. What is the name of the emperor, please call it as before!"
Once upon a time, I called his elder brother Long—for years, we have n’t sat down and talked like this for a long time. He seemed to have finally caught someone who could talk, and began to chatter with me, constantly complaining about the boredom of being emperor. Right now he is on the throne, and things are still in peace in the DPRK. Jiangnan rebels have not had time to send troops to clear up, but the palace is disturbed. I listened absently to Zhiyi, but I was thinking, your emperor is just doing something, most of the state affairs are pressed on Xiao Yan's shoulders, and you have been complaining without hearing him say a tired word ...
"Ah!" The emperor suddenly yelled suddenly, shocked me, and replied, "Why?"
"Are you listening to me?" He stared at me with an unhappy look.
I froze, shouted, "Listen, did you just say that Yu Shi is bothering you all day?"
He stopped talking, and looked at me for a long while. He did not complain as usual, but his expression faded. "Forget it, let's talk about it another day ... you can step back."
I was a bit tired, and I had nothing to say, so I got up and saluted. Back to the temple door and turned around, but heard him whisper behind him, "I just said, how good it would be if I didn't grow up."
I stopped to look back, and saw the young emperor lonely sitting on the hall, shrugging his shoulders, Ming Huanglongpao became more and more expressionless, like a child who was ignored.
Just when I was planning to recall Hui Yan, she finally found out the truth about the "spell" in Zhaoyang Temple.
The intuition seems to be correct. It is probably the so-called mother-child connection, and my doubts have been proven to be right. It is just like the two tadpoles who have been around for the longest time. Suddenly, the grandma and the maid are asleep during the night The little prince repeatedly cried him and couldn't sleep for a long time, so he naturally weakened and weakened. No wonder the little prince has checked the diet and clothing. No one can think of the easiest way to torture a little baby is to prevent him from sleeping. The poor little prince never slept peacefully for many days! I was horrified that they could come up with such a secret and clever way, without any trace, and even Huiyan snooped for days to see Duan Yan, not to mention that the two old and kind-hearted Yan would have such a poisonous heart.
Under confession torture, the two concubines finally confessed. From the beginning to the end, they were all Xie Guifei. They were sent to the East Palace to serve the princess, which was the chess piece Xie Guifei set for the future. Under the aunt's iron wrist, Xie Guifei was unable to resist it, so she devoted herself to her niece, so as to seize her aunt's only weakness—the prince. Xie Guifei failed to complete this deployment and died of illness. The two detainees remained in the East Palace, always thinking of helping the three princes to regain the throne. The Prince was unable to get around, and they wholeheartedly cut off the Royal Houyi. As long as the Crown Prince had no Queen, the throne would eventually fall into the hands of Zizi. In the early years, most of Himeji's daughter-in-law had no children, and once a baby boy died, and all the girls who grew up safely were girls. Now that I want to come, I'm afraid that it's all they have moved.
Xie Guifei, the woman who was drawn gracefully like light ink, was a woman who could not bear to death until she died. I gradually came to understand that if Xie Guifei really didn't have any tricks, how could she be undefeated under the aunt's iron fist, and her grace would endure for many years. Perhaps in this deep palace, no one is ever clean, or maybe clean people have been degraded into a place where they cannot see the sun, and even more unknown souls disappear forever behind the palace wall.
I was still grateful that the mastermind behind the scenes was not a son-in-law—if he was even involved in this and dark dispute, it would be the thing that scared me the most. The person who was most stimulated by this truth was like-the cruelest conspiracy and betrayal, from her uncle's aunt and the most trusted palace person around her.
The two concubines were immediately stabbed, and once the ambassador behind the event was Xie Guifei, it would inevitably involve Zi Xie and the entire Xie family. As if struggling again and again, finally endured the resentment against the son-in-law mother and son, introduced Wei Fei as a scapegoat, and gave her self-confidence.
I found the truth in one hand, protected the little prince, and concealed the truth in another hand to protect the concubine, but behind this was the death of another innocent woman. Turning hands is life, covering hands is death, saving and killing are my hands-maybe my brother is right, I really look more and more like Xiao Yue.
Since then, it seems like her sister has finally changed, becoming more and more like a queen. She began to purge the harem with an iron fist, and her concubine was slightly favored, but she was reviled. The ordinary palace person was called by the emperor to sleep, and she would be given medicine the next day. The dispute between the emperor and her became more and more fierce, and after a few times they were about to be abolished ... The queen Xie's reputation for jealousy soon spread to the North.
Another Lantern Festival, the palace began preparations for the Lantern Festival Banquet, but Xiao Yan was preparing to fight Jiangnan rebels.
On this day we entered the palace together. He went to the Royal Study Room to decide on a major event in the south, and I went to Zhaoyang Hall to discuss the trivial matters of the palace feast.
As soon as Fang stepped into the hall, he saw a woman kneeling on the hall, and was forced to drink a bowl of soup medicine by people on the left and right. Queen Xie sat coldly, watching her drink expressionlessly. Although I knew for a long time that the wrists of the Harem were so harsh, it was the first time that I had seen the palace man who forced her to sleep. Seeing me stumbling in front of the temple, I stood up and greeted as if smiling slightly. The woman broke free from the right and left, knocked the medicine bowl to the ground, and begged hard at the feet of the queen. As if without a glance, the woman was dragged away.
The medicinal juice wandered on the ground, and there was a hint of astringent medicine on the hall ... This medicine smell was so familiar.
It was as if I was talking. I just stared at her face, and my head was empty, but I didn't know what she was talking about.
"Ama?" She called me in amazement. "What's wrong with you, why is your face so pale? Didn't the just scare you?"
I reluctantly smiled, urging me to feel unwell and quit in a hurry.
Leaving Zhaoyang Temple, I could not wait for Xiao Yan, I went back to the house with all my heart.
I have asked the Chinese medicine doctors in the past, and they only said that the soup and medicine that I take every day was an ordinary tonic, and I never thought about it. However, today I smell the acrid smell of that medicine in the palace, which is exactly the same as the soup medicine I take every day. I will never forget this taste.
There was a rushing sound outside the door, and Xiao Xun hurriedly entered the inner room. Before anyone arrived, the voice had arrived.
I turned to look at him. He had a slight sweat on his forehead, and seemed to be walking very quickly.
"It doesn't matter too much." I smiled slightly and turned to look at the bowl of medicine on the case. "As soon as the medicine is cooked, it will be fine."
Xiao Ye didn't even look at the medicine, and immediately said, "This medicine won't work. Come, pass on the doctor!"
"Why doesn't this medicine work?" I looked at him and smiled. "Isn't this an uninterrupted medicine every day?"
Xiao Min paused, and fixed his eyes on me. Seeing him look like this, I have understood seven or eight points, but my heart was calm, but I just took the bowl of medicine and looked at it, "Is it really?"
He didn't answer, his lips tightened like a thin thin blade.
I lifted the medicine bowl with a smile and let go, letting it fall to the ground, the medicine splashed, and the porcelain jar shattered. I started to laugh, and felt it all so ridiculous in my heart. Xiao Yan called out to me as if to say something, but I couldn't hear. He could only hear his own laughter in his ears ... He suddenly dragged me into his arms and hugged me tightly. I was struggling like drowning, desperate to the extreme, and didn't want him to touch me for half a minute. No matter how I kick, he refuses to let go. Struggling loops scattered, long hair scattered, and strands of hair dangled around his chest, like love and hate, can't escape this hit and sink.
I no longer had strength, and fell softly in his arms, like a lifeless puppet. The chill of coldness came from the skin, as if there were countless cold tentacles, breeding and spreading in the bottom of my heart, crawling all over the body, entangled in the sky, leaving only a hollow heart. No anger, no sorrow, nothing, only empty silence.
-It turned out that he was taking this medicine for me.
He refused to let me own his children, refused to let Wang's blood shed on his offspring, and refused to give my family a chance to become a "foreign relative." What love is deep, what life and death go hand in hand, the ultimate enemy is not the most dazzling and powerful power above that peak. He still called out to me in a hurry, his lips opened and closed, as if he said so many words, but I could not hear a word, and suddenly felt that the world was quiet, and everything was covered with gray color. His face flickered in my eyes, gradually blurring ...
I felt his embrace and body temperature and heard him whisper.
But I don't want to wake up and don't want to open my eyes again. There is medicinal juice being fed into the mouth, and bitterness returns to me ... medicine, I suddenly trembled, and I could not help but break free, but I was restrained by a pair of arms and couldn't move. . I finally gave up the struggle, but tears fell from the corner of my eyes.
He lowered the bowl and gently wiped the remaining juice on my lips with a gentle and careful manner. I opened his eyes and looked at him with a slight smile. His voice was as light as a gossamer, "Now Grandpa is satisfied?"
His hand was stiff on my lips, and he fixed his eyes on me.
I laughed, "You don't want the blood of Wang's blood, you just need a paper divorce and marry a woman with a clean identity. Why is it so expensive!"
His pupils suddenly contracted, Sensen chills like a needle, and it is difficult to hide the pain. "I'm such an uncomfortable person in your eyes?"
I still laughed, "The prince is a hero of the world, a beloved person whom I wish for a lifetime."
"Ama, stop!" He clenched his fists and stared at me for a long time, the frost of the frown gradually turning into bleak.
"In this world, I have only one of you, my loved one, and now even you look at me like an enemy." His voice was husky and scared, and I felt heartbroken.
What else can be said, it's too late, love and hate in this life have become gray.
After returning to Beijing from Tangquan Xinggong, her mother didn't even enter the house and went directly to Ci'an Temple. This time I knew that she really felt ashamed ... I felt ashamed, and I know it now.
In the Purple Bamboo House, the green tiles are used to repair bamboo in winter, and the white wall is covered with faint grass. I sat under the porch with my mother, in the tea fragrance of the tea, and heard the Sanskrit chanting in the distant temple. For a moment, my heart was clear, and everything was turned into a cloud of smoke. Mother twisted the beads and sighed sighing, "I pray for your brothers and sisters every day in front of the Buddha. Now there are many governors of Imam, I don't have to worry about him, I can only rest assured of you."
Seeing that it was early, and my mother was about to start again, I got up and left. My mother left me to use Suezhai in the temple again, and I really hated the taste of Zhai cuisine in this temple, so I had to shirk with a bitter smile.
Aunt Xu then smiled and said, "Someone must be waiting for the princess in the house. They all said that Wang Yuzhang and his wife are very affectionate. Today it seems that they are like honey. According to slavery, the princess still don't want to stay It ’s okay. "My mother smiled at her, and I had no choice but to smile, but my heart was stinging. In the eyes of others, Xiao Yan and I are still very affectionate, but how can I bear to let my mother know the pain-after that day, he moved to the study, no longer staying with me, leaving early and returning all day long , Under the same eaves, never met for several days. I will not see him, nor will he come to see me. When we remembered Ningshuo's first encounter, we were proud of each other. In the end, he bowed his head ... For a time, the nose was slightly sour, and he almost lost his temper in front of his mother.
After saying goodbye to her mother, Aunt Xu sent me out all the way, whispering a few gossips, but she kept talking a lot. I smiled at her, "Aunt Xu, how can you learn your mother's temper, you used to be the least loved in the past." Aunt Xu looked at me, and tears flickered in her eyes, looking down at me Going down, "The old slave has a few words, knowing to take the liberty, but can't help but tell her to know with the princess!"
I helped her up and was stunned by her uncommonly solemn look. "Aunt Xu, you watched me growing up from an early age. Although there is a difference in status, I always treat you like a respectable leader. If there is anything, I can say nothing. "
She raised her head, her eyes were gloomy. "In the past few decades, the old slave has watched the lesson of the princess and the grandfather. The most difficult thing in the world is the word of love. Now the emperor and the grandfather are in deep affection. Take the worries of the son to heart. The old slave is worried. In the future, if the princess's body cannot be recovered, she really cannot bear children ... Sooner or later, the grandfather will have a child, and then the mother will be expensive, and it will inevitably be another Han family! Make plans, be prepared! "
She heard something in my ears, and the mountain temple in the deep winter season became more and more cold like an ice cellar.
I turned my head abruptly, my chest swelled sharply, and I tried hard to suppress the stormy seas, so that I could hold my voice for a while, "What can't be recovered, can you speak more clearly?" Aunt Xu paused and looked at me, I didn't know how to answer. I can't stop the trembling of the voice, "I can't have children, what's the matter?" Aunt Xu's face changed and changed, her voice was hard, "Prince ... you ..."
"What about me, what are you hiding from me?" I looked directly at her, and my heart was gradually tightening. It seemed that everyone knew everything, but I was in the dark.
Aunt Xu suddenly covered her mouth, her face full of remorse, and shouted, "Old slave it! Old slave talks a lot!"
"Now that I've said it, I might as well understand it." I laughed. I couldn't help feeling sad, but still wanted to laugh, wondering how much more secrets there were.
Xu Aunt flexed her knees and knelt down. I only listened to her words, and said a few words intermittently, but it seemed like a clear sky, and it suddenly made me lose my heart and stiffen her place-she said, "The princess died of blood dying that day, and her life was dying. He was fortunate and out of danger, but he has already fallen into the root of the disease. If he becomes pregnant again in the future, it will not only be very difficult to keep it, but once again, he will be a calamity. "
I didn't know how it came back to the palace.
Thousands of thoughts flowed up and down, but my heart was empty, but there was no joy or sorrow. On the one hand, the bad news came to an end, and on the other hand, it was a life in desperation-I still don't understand the matter of having children, and even then, I also vaguely understand what it means for a woman to have children. Xiao Yuan already knew, but he refused to tell me the truth. Does he think that he can hide it all his life and let me not know for a lifetime, will he not be sad and sad ... he is so stupid that he is so stupid that he laughs at me every day and coaxes me to take medicine, so stupid that I misunderstand and refuse to explain ... Thinking back, what did I say to him? Those words, at this time I wanted to come to feel the vertebrae, hurt people, tore his heart into pieces. He regards me as a dear and loved one, and sincerely shares it, when it is due to share tribulations, I have not given him all the trust.
I don't know when I'm in tears.
When I drove to the house, it was dark, and I didn't care about the tears on my face. I described it as embarrassing and ran straight to the study. I only thought whether he would still annoy me or forgive me for being stupid ... As soon as she turned into the back porch, she saw a woman in a palace dress greeted with green hair, slim waist, bright eyes and bright teeth. I froze and stared at it before recognizing that it was Yuxiu, now Xiaoyi, the wife of Xianyi. She changed her outfit, and if she was born and reborn, it would surprise and delight me, "Jade, it's you!"
She bowed her head in shame and whispered quietly, "Song ... General has just returned to Beijing. Today he entered the palace and thanked him, so he came to thank the Prince and Princess."
I was amazed that she was married to Huan En in the palace change, and then she was in trouble again. She never got a chance to enter the palace and thank. When I was sick, it was the most delicate situation in central Beijing. Song Huaien was ordered to rush to Xinyiwu to supervise Ziyi and prevent the change of Xie's family and the royal family. Now that everything has settled down, the country's funeral has passed, and Wyan has returned to Beijing to resume his life. It seems that their wedding date should be near. I was busy congratulating her, so ashamed that she was pink and pink. Seeing that this pair of crickets will carry on together, my heart-wounding sorrow also slowed down, a little warm. Yu Zheng said that Huai En was discussing with Xiao Chen in the study, and she was inconvenienced, so she had to come here and wait for me. She shyly talked about Wyan, and her young daughter showed her pride. I walked with her with a smile, but I heard her say, "He came back this time and brought me orchids again. This time the flowers look better, but the leaves are broken and he is really careless."
I was frightened, my heart was pounding, and I knew something must be wrong with my daughter-in-law. It had been two days since I wanted to come to him to send a message to me, and I was depressed and upset every day. It was such a big mistake.
Waiting for Song Huaien to come to see me, and retired Yuxi and his left and right servants, he came to the beginning and end-a few days ago, the remnants of the old party raided Xinyiwu and intended to rob Zizi. Furious, Xiao Xuan ordered a strict investigation, sent more soldiers to guard, and imprisoned Zi Xun. I was relieved, at least I knew Zizi wasn't worried about his life, but I couldn't imagine that the old party loyal to the emperor was so stubborn that he still wanted to regain the throne. I was afraid that instead of regaining the throne, they would push their sons into a more dangerous situation.
Song Huai'en was sent away, and my uncle groaned for a long time before coming to the door of the study room, but hesitated not to get near ... Now it happens to be a change, Zi Zi is involved in right and wrong. If I go to explain Xiao Xiao to this time, he Do you think I have another purpose? Originally the heart was unsolved, and if it was poured on the fire again, I was afraid that it would be hard to believe anything. For a long time, I walked under the corridor for a long time, watching his figure reflected by the candlelight on the window, and suddenly went into the door without confidence ... until the night was quiet and the lights went out.
After a long while, I turned around.
I couldn't sleep through the night. I woke up early in the morning without sleepiness. When I wanted to come to Xiao Yan, it was time to rise and face up. I got up in my clothes, slightly groomed, and Su Yan stepped out of the door.
In the early morning of the deep winter season, mist and frost permeated under the front porch of the court. The silver fox deep velvet cloak still felt cold, and the breath turned into frost. I am afraid that it will snow in a few days. For a long time, I never got up so early, remembering that my mother would always dress up in the morning, accompany her father to breakfast, and then send him to the door. I lived alone for three years after marriage, and I was accustomed to the days of laziness and sleepiness. Xiao Ye never let me get up early. Now I want to come, I am always admired by him, but rarely do anything for him ...
Before arriving at the court, I saw Xiao Xun serving the crown as he stepped out of the study, looking cold, and frowning early in the morning. I stood under the foot porch and looked at him silently without saying a word. He was almost there before he looked up at me. He froze and fixedly looked at me. His eyes were clearly warm, but his face was still indifferent. "Why did you get up so early?"
I sighed and didn't answer. I walked up to him silently and raised my hand to touch his placket with a very shallow wrinkle on it. My fingers slowly touched the dragon-patterned palace satin, and my palm pressed against his chest. He stood motionless and looked at me silently. I also looked down quietly, feeling his steady heartbeat under my palm, my heart was suddenly sour, and everything turned into a silent sigh. He covered the back of my hands, his palms were warm, and it took a long time to whisper, "It's cold outside, go back to the room soon." The tenderness of these few words made my eyes instantly heat up. Nodded. As soon as Fang opened his mouth, he listened to the attendant urging, "Master, it's not early, and the dynasty may be late."
I pulled out, raised my eyes, smiled helplessly, and whispered, "Come back early."
He nodded, warming up to the bottom of his eyes, with a smile on the corner of his lips. He just reached out and wrapped my cloak tightly, then turned away quickly.
I thought about him for half a day, thinking that he would return to the house after he went down. I was busy telling the kitchen to prepare lunch.
However, after a long time in the afternoon, I didn't see him return to the house. I was waiting for boredom, but I saw the maid rushing to report and said that General Youwei asked for an interview. I was horrified and hurried out of the main hall, but saw Song Huaien's body armor, sword added, and strode straight in. I stopped in horror, my heart was tense, and I blurted out, "What happened, Lord?"
"Don't worry about the princess, the prince is now in the palace, and the end will be ordered to protect the royal palace and Beijing Central Government, please don't leave the princess for the time being!" Song Huai'en replied in a deep voice, killing his face, motioning me to retreat.
I hurriedly stepped back and forth, only to see him take a step forward, and whispered, "Two hours ago, the emperor broke his horse in the palace and was injured."
