Chapter 33: Old regret

It was sunny early in the afternoon, but it was early winter.
I have been chilling since I was a child. Whenever the autumn and winter seasons are always sick, I was caught cold by the wind a few months ago. Today seems to be much better. After listening to Xiao Yan's comment that Jing'er has been noisy for a long time without seeing her aunt, she set out to enter the palace to see him.
As soon as I entered the door of the palace, I heard Jinger's cheerful and happy laughter. I looked up and was shocked. He was riding on the back of the grandmother, patting the grandmother to "ride" on the palace, and I heard my own driving sound. A crowd of women surrounded by palaces rushed to cheer on Her Majesty, making a group on the Qianyuan Hall. Even when I approached the door of the temple, there was not a housekeeper.
"Emperor!" I said coldly, "What are you doing?"
The man in the palace suddenly saw me standing in front of the door, panicked and knelt on the ground, worshipped repeatedly, and he dared not look up one by one. Jinger saw me and jumped off the grandma's back. He giggled and ran towards me. "Aunt hugs!" I saw that he was still faltering, and rushed to meet him. Zhang arm hugged him. He immediately squeezed my neck tightly and let go of nothing. I had to pick him up hard, his arms bent faintly, and a kitten-sized child had grown so big.
I looked up at him, "Your Majesty is not good today. My aunt said that she was not allowed to run around or fall. Have you remembered it?" Jing Erwu's round eyes flew quickly, and she lowered her head to stop talking, small face But buried in my chest, coquettishly shivering. "Your Majesty!" I yanked him away, wondering where he learned such a strange creature. Such a small child also knows how to look and look, and knows that I am indulged in him, so I always rely on skinny and coquettish; only Xiao Xiao is beside him, he is willing to obey. The grandmother handed a small cloak of dragons and embroidered gold, and laughed softly, "The princess will be happy when Her Majesty comes, and she will not be afraid of falling."
I held Jing'er on my lap, and turned to look at the grandma, and said lightly, "Who taught His Majesty to ride people as horses?"
The mother-in-law knelt down hurriedly, hoeing her head, and said, "The princess forgive me! Slave no longer dares! Slave Hara just wanted to coax Her Majesty ..."
"Coupling Your Majesty?" I raised my eyebrows and wanted to scold her, but I heard Jinger chuckle and looked up and said, "Horse riding, lord riding, please, Your Majesty!"
I suddenly understood it. Last time Xiao Yan had hugged him on horseback, and he never missed it. He was taught by his uncle to teach for a long time. He only remembered that he was called Lord Ye on the left and right. He also learned how to call him, saying that his name was His Majesty. I cried for a moment, and I was so embarrassed that I wanted to drop him. I couldn't help laughing.
Jing'er smiled when I saw it, and was immediately proud of being naughty, twisting left and right in my arms, reaching out to reach my swaying trembling beads. I was listening to the mother-in-law's detailed account of Jing'er's living situation, without paying any attention, and he was holding the bun by one hand and grabbing the bun. The grandmother hurriedly took him over, he smiled and grabbed the crested title bead, and refused to let go. I was confused and helpless, but I listened to the grandmother laughing, "It's a romantic emperor, at a young age, she will be a darling beauty." The grandmother's words caused everyone to laugh, and Jing Erwu held her hair and danced, as if Got the beloved baby.
I sighed and had to get up and redress. "Bring your hair bun, don't let your Majesty play with these things."
The mother-in-law rushed down to get the beads, but Jing'er refused to give it from side to side. The mother-in-law couldn't help but just said, "Your Majesty will not give it again, the slave-minded will be bold and offensive."
"Dare you!" Jinger screamed in a delicate voice, but there were a few elements of Brother Rong's brutality.
I turned around with a bitter smile, stunned at Jing San, was about to comb my hair, and suddenly heard a scream from behind, the people on the left and right screamed. I turned back horribly, and was surprised to see Jinger dancing with his sister-in-law across the face of the grandmother, and from the eye socket to the cheek, she was scratched with a sharp tail! The grandmother's face was covered with blood, and she screamed and fell down! Both left and right were stunned, and for a while no one came back, Jinger himself was frightened, and he turned and ran.
"Come here, stop Your Majesty!" I exclaimed, and threw Jade to chase Jinger. The left and right attendants hurriedly approached, Jinger saw this situation more and more afraid, turned around and ran to the jade steps outside the hall. The housekeepers had rushed into the hall, and the door was unattended. The guards in front of the hall were so far apart that they watched Jinger stumble to Yujie. My heart was startling, and I felt unconscious, and blurted out, "Jinger, don't--"
My voice didn't fall, the little figure flickered on the steps, standing on an unstable foot, and swooped down!
"Emperor!" The right and left palace people screamed in astonishment, the chaos in front of the temple was chaotic.
My feet were weak, I fell to the ground, my body trembled, and I couldn't say a complete sentence, "The emperor ... Xuan ... Taiyi ... Go!"
An inner servant picked up the child under the steps and hurried back to the temple. The child collapsed in his arms and couldn't cry.
My heart was completely cool, and my hands and feet were soft. I was helped by the maid to look at it. I saw that the child's face was as pale as paper, her lips were blue, and a red blood dripped from her nostrils.
After the inspections of the five heads of the Taiji Hospital were completed, just after they exited the hall, Xiao Xuan arrived. I got up from my chair and asked the doctor, "How is your majesty injured?"
The doctors looked at each other, each with a stern look. The head of Fu Taiyi frowned and said, "Back to the princess, Her Majesty has not yet woken up. Upon inspection by Weichen and others, the bones of His Majesty's internal organs are not affected, but the head and neck were shocked and hurt The meridians, blood gas block, wind evil invasion, accumulation of depression ... "Xiao Kun interrupted him, Shen Sheng asked," Is there any danger of death? "
Fu Taiyi trembled, "Your Majesty's life is unharmed, but it's just that Weichen doesn't dare to make false statements!"
My heart was suddenly tense, Xiao Yan said coldly, "But it doesn't matter!"
"Your Majesty is still young and congenital. Her physique is already weak, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover after this serious injury. Even if she continues as usual, she will be mentally retarded and different from ordinary people." The old doctor touched the ground with cold sweat.
I fell back into the chair, covering my face, as if falling into a thorny cold pool. Xiao Yan also remained silent, only gently pressing on my shoulder, half a moment before slowly speaking, "Is there room for treatment?"
The five elder doctors were silent, Xiao Xiao turned his hands to the Kowloon screen, and meditated silently. For a moment, the temple was silent like death, and the thick shadows on all sides made people breathless.
Xiao Zheng raised his hand, and after the Taiyi and the left and right retreated, he slowly came to me and said softly, "Bad luck, you don't have to blame yourself too much."
I held my forehead sadly, speechless, and no tears. I just felt the pain in my heart. I wanted to take a look at Jing'er, but there was no energy at all.
"Cheer up, right now you and I can't mess up." Xiao Yan leaned down and held my shoulder, his voice soft, but full of decisive strength.
I lifted my eyes and touched his solemn gaze. My heart suddenly shook, and my thoughts were instantly illuminated.
Right now Chaotang Palace has just begun to settle down, and people's minds have settled. They can no longer afford another round of turbulence. Once the news of the Emperor's injuries spread, the ups and downs will surely cause a stir. The emperor stayed in the palace well, why was he suddenly injured, and who would believe that it was really an accident? Even though Xiao Zhi's power is so high, it is difficult to stop everyone from talking, let alone a demented little emperor, how can he play the role of the society? If Jing Er is deposed, will the throne be passed on to his children? Would the old party resurrect if it were a child?
I will definitely look at Xiao Yan, his cold hands will be firmly held by him, the warmth and strength from his palm will gradually calm me down, but my heart is getting colder.
He looked at me and asked lightly, "Who else knows about the emperor's injury?"
"In addition to the five princes, only the people from the Qianyuan Palace." I spoke hard.
Xiao Yuan immediately ordered the Qianyuan Hall to be closed, and a palace person was not allowed to step out of the hall door. The five elder doctors would be called into the inner hall again.
"The King has visited the emperor, and the injury is not as serious as what Tai Taifu said." Xiao Yan looked expressionless, his eyes glanced over all the Taiyis, his eyes were deep and unpredictable, "Is it true that everyone is diagnosed correctly?"
The five doctors looked at each other, and in the winter, they were sweating. Fu Taiyi knelt on the ground, with a slight tremor, sweat beads rolled down his forehead, and trembled, "Yes, the old man was diagnosed correctly."
I said lowly, "It's a big deal, and Master Fu needs to think clearly."
Zhang Taiyi, who had been kneeling on the back, walked to Xiao Yan suddenly, kneeling heavily. "Master Qi Wei, Wei Chen's diagnosis is different from that of Fu. According to Wei Chen, his majesty hurts his muscles. Healed in half a month. "Another medical officer also hurriedly nodded." Wei Chen has the same diagnosis as Master Zhang, and Master Fu's words are misdiagnosed. "Fu Taiyi was shocked, his face paled momentarily, but his head was still silent.
The remaining two elder doctors looked at each other in disappointment. They only took a moment to pause and said, "Wei Chen agreed with Master Zhang."
"Doctor Fu, what do you think?" I asked him warmly, and still wanted to give him another chance to choose.
The gray-haired Fu Taiyi was silent for a moment, raised his head slowly, and said, "Healers have a way, and ministers cannot speak rashly."
I turned around and sighed silently, and couldn't bear to look at his gray-haired silver beard again. Xiao Yan's face became more and more gloomy, and he bowed his head, "Master Fu, my admiration for you."
"The old minister has served the monarch for more than 30 years, and life and death have long been taken lightly. Today, he is ridiculed by the Lord, and the old man is very relieved." The old doctor straightened up and looked calm. Andu for the rest of his life. "
"You can rest assured that King will treat your family well." Xiao Min nodded calmly.
That night, Tai Fu Fu committed poisoning himself for misdiagnosis. Everyone in the Qianyuan Palace Qiangan Palace was jailed for lack of escort. I replaced all the palace people around the emperor and let them be my henchmen.
The emperor lost his footing and the wounds subsided. After he was healed, I was still carried to the court every day, and everything was the same as before. It's just that the child with pink makeup and jade makeup will never be mischievous and laugh again and again, like a wooden doll.
The courtiers still visit the little emperor behind the curtain every day, and no one has the chance to approach the emperor except the confidants. Originally, Jinger went to Yong'an Palace every day to greet the queen queen queen. Since then, I have given the empress queen to rest, and only let the emperor ask hello on the first fifteenth day. There are only a few confidants in Yong'an palace. Approaching the emperor. There was a little court girl named Ayue around her aunt. She was in dire straits and tried her own medicine. She has since been loyal and careful. Coincidentally, after Jade's marriage, there was always a lack of capable people around me, so he called Ayue into the palace, and was with me.
Jing'er's dementia became the biggest secret in the palace, but this secret will not be hidden for too long. A young child may not see too many oddities. As he grows up day by day, the truth will sooner or later be revealed to the world. However, this time of one or two years is enough for Xiao Ye to deploy.
After midwinter, the southern snow melts back to spring, and just after New Year's Eve, the four lanterns in the palace are decorated with lanterns, preparing for the most lively Lantern Festival.
At this time of celebration and peace, King Regent Yuzhang ordered a 300,000-strong army to conquer the south, to slay the Jiangnan rebels.
Northern states and counties are under Xiao's control, while all over the south,
At that time, the rule and Chenghui Wang Bing defeated and fled to Jiangnan, and fled to the most extensive and wealthy Jianzhang King of Fengyi. Taking advantage of the political turmoil in Beijing in the past two years, Xiao Yan had no time to take care of him, and the Jiangnan clan was able to survive. Since the rebellion of the kings, the southern imperial clan has been in a state of peace, and has long resisted the courts of the Central Beijing Chamber. In recent years, the administration of officials has become more and more corrupt, and people's livelihood is worrying. After Zilu Nan fled, Xiao Yan apparently stayed on the ground and refused to pursue, secretly stabilizing the situation in central Beijing and paying attention to the political situation in the south. Since the beginning of the year, he has deployed and deployed troops, and he has quietly made preparations for the south expedition. As soon as the time was ripe, he would go south and swear by the Southern Clan.
Originally Xiao Yan was set to march south after the spring. However, half a month ago, Linliangguan, who had stopped the road that must pass through Beijing, captured seven people one after another within two days. In addition to the two attempted suicide and one was seriously injured and died, the other four offered their ambassadors behind the scenes. The king of Fengzhong county in Beijing and the king of Jiangnan Jianzhang secretly communicated and acted as the Southern imperial clan, planted in the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and realized that Xiao Xun's intention of the southern expedition immediately sent a Pegasus to report to the south, but it was worthy to hit Linliang Guanshou In the hands of Tang Jing, nothing leaked. This Tang Jing is just one of the three loudest generals under the name of Xiao Xun. He is known for his fierce vigor and has the nickname "General Viper". In the past, the Black Flag Battalion was created in the army, and the special training division was called the master of the world. This person originally stayed in Ningshuo and was later recalled to Beijing. Xiao Yue ordered him to torture the case in person, and many pros and cons were involved in the case, shaking the court.
Rao is a hard-hearted person who falls in the hands of this cool official, and it is also better to die than to live, let alone a family who is noble and honorable.
On the seventh day of the first month, Tang Jing was impeached on the table, and counted eight major crimes including the royal family of Fengyuan County and conspiracy to commit treason.
On the tenth day of the first month, the ministers of the Central People's Republic of China participated in the joint performances, and asked the regent Wang Xingshi to make a fuss in order to rectify the situation.
On the eleventh day of the first month, the regent king gave an obituary for rebellion and ordered General Hu Guanglie to lead a 100,000 striker south.
The Lantern Festival banquet four days later, where the King of Beijing will be honored, and the civil and military officials will gather together will be the most high-profile event of the year.
"This section of jade steps is covered with embroidered felt, and a bright silk palace lantern is set up every ten steps." Jade huddled around Hu Qiu, and the clever boy stood there, leading a group of palace men Zhang Luo to decorate, and struck the royal blue palace to decorate her. The skin is bright and moist, and the eyes are frowning.
I stepped behind Xu Xu with a smile, "It's hard, Madam Song."
Yuxi turned her head back, busied herself, and laughed, "The princess is here to make fun of slaves again!"
"I can't remember to change my tongue. You and I are already aunts, and I still say something of slavery." I smiled and took her hand. "This time I rely on you to help me. Without you, I can take care of it."
"I can have today's blessings. It's all the gift of the princess. How can Jade be forgotten?" She sighed. "I was born stupid and had no other ability. I was hoping that the princess would not give up, let me I have been by your side all my life, and Jade has been contented ... Where can I think of today ’s blessing? "I said," Stupid girl, if you followed me for the rest of your life, what would Wyan do? " His cheeks were red and his eyes filled with affection, "That nerd, don't mention him!"
"These days, the military is busy, and Wyan is very tired, right?" I shook my head and smiled. Yuxi nodded hesitantly, and a little anxiety floated between her brows. "Recently he's been busy every day, but I don't know why. He has a dark face and a black face all day.
It was snowing in my heart, and I naturally understood why Song Huaien was upset. A few days ago, Xiao Mao appointed Hu Guanglie as the striker general, and he led a 100,000 south conquest, but left him in Beijing without any movement. He and Xiao have always been the left and right arms of Xiao Yue, and they have no distinction in qualifications and merit. They have always had different temperaments. The Hu-Song rivalry is well known to both Chinese and Koreans. Now that Hu Guanglie is in the limelight, how can Song Huain swallow this breath.
Yesterday morning, he couldn't hold back, and he went to the public to fight, but was put down by Xiao Yan calmly. I also don't understand what Xiao Yun planned for this time, maybe it was too late, or Song Huaien was left with another important task. With this kind of thinking, it was naturally inconvenient to tell Yuxi directly. I just smiled and Wen Yan comforted her. "When there is no moody mood, you don't need to care. Men are like children. Hou, occasionally I still have to coax. "
Yuxi stared, "Children? How could it?" I pursed my lips without smiling, but she was a more real character, more and more confused, whispered, "How can there be such an old child ..."
A Yue fluttered and laughed at me. She was about the same age as Yuxi. The two had always made good friends. Yuxi was embarrassed and turned around to yell at her. Pick a good husband, but you have to laugh! "
A Yue giggled and hid behind me, and I couldn't help it. Only with them can I remember that I am also Shaohua's age, and can I laugh so occasionally.
While laughing, a low, smiling voice came from behind him, "What's so happy?"
Xiao Xun walked slowly and slowly, with a gentle belt, a wide-sleeve crown, and no style when he was not facing the court. He became more graceful, clear and magnificent, and he had the appearance of a king. I raised an eyebrow and smiled, looking up and down at him, not concealing the approbation. He was ridiculed by me. He laughed in the presence of inconvenience. He just said lightly, "What are you thinking about?" I sighed. "Unfortunately, such a good appearance is always covered by the cold face, and I wonder if there are any women who admire ... ... "Yuxi and Ayue stepped aside, and couldn't help laughing when they heard it. Xiao Yan coughed heavily, glared at me, and inconvenienced in public, so he had to turn his head away to cover up the embarrassment.
"Is Yuyu here too?" He seemed to inadvertently see Yuyu and smiled warmly. Yuxi was busy seeing Li and greeting him. Xiao Yan looked at her thoughtfully, and Wen Yan asked, "How good is Wynn?"
"Thank you for your attention, Grandson is all right." Yu Yan was still cautious in front of Xiao Yan, and answered sternly.
Xiao Yan smiled, "Wayne is a straightforward man, and he should cultivate in his spare time. Some things can't be rushed."
Yuxi blushed and hurriedly leaned down, "Master Wang is right."
The heating furnace smoked the inner temple as warm as spring. Although it was late at night, it did not feel cold. Xiao Zheng flipped through the official document under the lamp. I leaned on the chaise couch beside me, peeling the new orange leisurely, looking up inadvertently, and seeing his faint silhouette, I felt a calmness in my heart, I could not see enough. I walked to his side, but he remained indifferent and focused on the pile of papers. Suddenly I was stubborn and passed a peeled orange petal to his lips. He didn't look intently, but just opened his mouth to pick it up, but I abruptly retracted his hand, leaving him empty.
"Naughty!" He took me to his lap, and forced the orange flap to go. I lay on his lap, and turned my eyes inadvertently, but I saw the opening of the case, which was Song Huaien's request for battle.
I leaned over and looked at it, raising my eyebrows and asking him, "Are you really not planning to let Wyan go?"
Xiao Xun will play together and sing together, smiling and laughing, "Military affairs must not be leaked."
"So get mysterious." I don't overdo it, too lazy to care about him, knowing that he is deliberately hanging my appetite.
Xiao Yan smiled at me and smiled unpredictably, "Wayne is naturally going to fight, but not now, I still have to wait for someone right now."
"Who are you waiting for?" I froze and couldn't think of any other person who was better suited to lead the South Expedition than Song Huai'en.
His eyes were unpredictable, and he said lightly, "You will know by then."
"I'm going to pretend to be a ghost." I squeezed my lips, flicked my long sleeves, and left from his knees.
He clasped my wrist, dragged me back into his arms, and stared at me with a smile. "Only for the past two days, this person should have arrived, I believe it will surprise you."
I guess his so-called surprise, but he can't feel half-headed ... I think it should be my brother, but I don't know what my brother has to do with Nan Zheng.
For two consecutive days of cold spring, heavy snow fell in the night, and it was on the fifteenth day of the first month.
I visited my aunt in the afternoon. She has a good complexion and spirit today. She should be able to attend at night, and I feel relieved. When I came out of Yong'an Palace, I saw the snow on the palace road was deep, and the palace people were sweeping, and they detoured from the side porch. Turning around the West Corridor, I inadvertently saw a red plum blossoming on the wall, and it was dazzling to the eye ... It turned out that the plum blossoms of Jinglin Palace were blooming again.
I stopped and looked at the cold plum that protruded from the wall.
The owner of Jinglin Palace has been away for five years, and it is unexpected that all things are different, and the old things are still there. The gate of the palace was locked on weekdays, which happened to be opened today. Two housekeepers were cleaning the snow in front of the door. I sighed and stepped into the long- idle palace. The thin layer of snow in the ground reflected the whiteness of the heavens and the earth, and it seemed to be a clean and immortal land of immortals. The only old plums, the branches and flowers, and the proud snow blooming, were gorgeous, but it made people feel a little stunned.
The past is divergent, like a dream, inadvertently looking back, that figure actually appeared at this moment.
I saw him again, just like the elegant style of the year, wearing a silver fox fur cape, half-covered hood, and blue shirt, coming from the depths of that cold plum ... Even the phantom will be so real, close to and I look at each other as if within reach. After a gust of wind, plum blossoms fell on his shoulders, he looked up, the hood fell ... the quality of snow and loneliness, and the loneliness of the gods, but the moment of raising his eyes, has taken away the heavens and the earth to the beautiful Guanghua.
