Chapter 6 Chapter 6: Pale Moon, Obscure Dreams, Frequent Shocks

The setting sun is like a fading red-gold basin. After meandering into the treetop pavilion, it slowly disappears into the twilight.The maids serving Zhaoyang Hall lightly lighted the candles on the gilded square candlesticks in the hall, accompanied by a few wisps of green smoke, the hall was suddenly brightened. The child has just had milk and is falling asleep, with his mouth slightly open, surrounded by the fragrance of milk.Because a hundred days have passed, the eyebrows and eyes are already very clear, pink and round, indescribably cute. Ruan Wushuang leaned over and tucked in the light and silky brocade quilt, looking at the child's small face, quietly lost in thought.Although the light and shadow came over a bit dim, you could still clearly see the child's forehead and chin, very much like himself.She couldn't say the rest of it. Every time she saw him staring at the child, there was always an indescribable fear deep in her heart.

When the two get along, he has always been reticent.But he seemed to understand what she meant, and he was always gentle when he bowed his head and threw his hands.But the more she felt that Baili Haozhe cared for her more delicately and tenderly, the more she felt an indescribable pain in her heart.I remembered that when I read the imperial edict that day, the hands they held were warm and long.The smell of silence is better than sound, and every time she thinks of it, there will always be a faint glow of warmth in her chest.She was always reluctant to think about it. Mother and aunt always murmured that people in confinement are not plump at all.It's just that they don't understand, with such a matter in mind, how can she eat and sleep peacefully?She really couldn't imagine how he would treat her if the truth came to light one day?Even ordinary couples can't tolerate it, let alone him who is above tens of millions?

But by now, she had been cornered.If she could be more ruthless, she should have stopped it when she found out.But she procrastinated again and again, but she still didn't make it to this point. There seemed to be something quiet in the air. She was startled suddenly, feeling something was wrong. When she turned her head, she saw a tall and straight figure beside the brocade couch. The black casual clothes embroidered with golden dragons were clearly familiar, and she could wear them like this in the world. It's just him alone. When Baili Haozhe came in, he saw that all the maids were outside. After seeing many of them, he naturally knew that the emperor was sleeping, so he walked lightly.Unexpectedly, Wu Shuang was taken aback. Under the light, she stood there a little surprised, and just stood there, forgetting to react. Although her face was calm, there was a hint of panic in the depths of her eyes.

Baili Haozhe couldn't help smiling, walked closer, and took advantage of the opportunity to hold her palm, which felt extremely slippery and slightly wet.Frowning slightly, he was about to ask a question.I saw that Ruan Wushuang had turned his head and looked at the child with a slightly different expression. Although it is autumn, it is only covered with blue gauze, which is elegant and delicate.Therefore, when he lowered his head, he could clearly see the snow-white neck that was as soft as fat, so tender that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out. Ruan Wushuang regained his composure, calmed down, and pulled out his hand without thinking, and saluted according to the rules.But Baili Haozhe didn't let go, he pulled her to sit down on the brocade couch, and said: "Don't wake up the emperor!" Her heart moved, she turned her head to look at the child, and could only let him hold her.

He didn't seem to notice anything unusual, his face was normal, but there was an inexplicable smile in his eyes.Baili Haozhe said: "Is the emperor being naughty today?" Ruan Wushuang smiled slightly and shook his head slightly. He pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and said: "Today, people from the Imperial Academy drafted a few names and submitted them, you can take a look. If you think it is not appropriate, let them draw up a few more!" Ruan Wushuang bowed his head, and replied: "The courtiers and concubines don't dare, the emperor is the one to decide!" The names of the royal children and grandchildren have always been drawn up by the Imperial Academy according to the rank of the clan, and after the memorial is played, the emperor personally approves it.

She had just finished speaking, and she only felt that Baili Haozhe's handshake was a little stronger.The air became quiet all of a sudden, and she slightly raised her head to look at his expression, it seemed that she was not as interested as before.He said softly, "It's unreasonable for the ministers and concubines to choose the name. I'm afraid it will spread and cause criticism from the ministers!" It seemed like an explanation or a soliloquy. When Baili Haozhe was approving the memorial today, he saw the paper handed over by the Imperial Academy, so he copied it privately, and hurried over excitedly.Never thought of being splashed with cold water by her, I always felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.Hearing her explanation, he felt relieved, took out a piece of folded rice paper from his sleeve, held on to her hand and said, "I'll show you! Who dares to gossip!"

There are only a few simple characters on the rice paper, not the memorial of the Imperial Academy, but the vigorous and flying handwriting is familiar to her, presumably it was picked off by him when he was reviewing the memorial. "Chenghuan? Chenglu? Chengxuan?" He looked up at her and asked for her opinion. Ruan Wushuang also smiled slightly, for some reason, she was in a very good mood, and replied plainly: "Everything is fine!" Baili Haozhe took her hand and tapped on the paper, saying: "I let you Choose, you choose. If you don’t say it, I don’t say it, how can there be a third person in the world who knows!” The tone and expression were a little like a child’s.

Ruan Wushuang's heart moved slightly, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help holding a faint smile. He looked down at the names on the paper, and thought the third one was the best, so he said: "In the mind of my concubine, Chengxuan is the best." What does the emperor mean?" Baili Haozhe said with a smile: "Okay, it's up to you, Baili Chengxuan." He clapped his hands lightly.Shi Quan came in with two servants: "What is the emperor's order?" Baili Haozhe handed over the circled rice paper, and ordered: "Have someone draw up a brochure for the eldest prince Baili Chengxuan." In the name of the world amnesty."

Shi Quanyi answered "Yes", and was about to bow out of the door when he heard the emperor's voice coming again, paused, and said as if thinking of something: "Let the Hanlin Academy keep the memorial, so there is no need to return it." Already!" Turning to her with a chuckle, he said, "I think it will come in handy in the future." Ruan Wushuang only felt that there was something in his words, so he realized it instantly, his face flushed slightly, he just pretended not to understand, and lowered his head to tease Chengxuan. The child has always been a light sleeper, and often wakes up during one or two cups of tea.At this time, he was already awake, his eyes were slightly opened, and he looked at them ignorantly.The wet nurse and nanny repeatedly boasted that she was well-behaved, and rarely cried endlessly.The rules in the palace are strict, and as a prince, he has several wet nurses and more than a dozen maids to take care of him.But she is always faintly afraid, and doesn't want to lend too much to her in many things.Baili Haozhe opened his eyes and closed his eyes again, and Cheng Xuan was always taken care of by her.

She picked up the child, and Baili Haozhe also came over and raised his hand to take it: "I'll hold it for a while!" Ruan Wushuang slowly handed it over, he couldn't hold it well, and his posture was not right.Just took over, the child has already writhed, as if paving the way for crying. Instead, she laughed, and said coquettishly, "Be careful! Cheng Xuan is going to cry!" He looked up and saw her smile, her cheeks were dimpled and dimpled, really bright like epiphyllum, and delicate like dew, making people afraid that they could touch her. melted. After a pause, he forgot what he was doing.The child's face was already flushed, and his mouth was already flattened.Baili Haozhe coaxed in a hurry, with an indescribable pampering in his eyes.Ruan Wushuang simply sat down, picked up the chrysanthemum dew placed beside the brocade couch, and drank it carefully.

As expected, after just a few sips of tea, Cheng Xuan was already crying "wow".He became more and more flustered, almost to the point of using his hands and feet, but the child's crying seemed to be getting worse. She was about to let Yuzhan go when Baili Haozhe coaxed the child and said, "Chengxuan is good, Father loves you the most. If you are good and don't cry, Father will take you to ride a pony... "Ruan Wushuang couldn't help laughing, the child is only so old, he has already been coaxed to ride a horse, if it is older, what is better to ride? The smile seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, and he said: "Come on, let me hug you!" Baili Haozhe said: "No need, look, he's not crying anymore." He came over with the child to show off.It's strange to say that Cheng Xuan really stopped crying.There were still tears in the corners of his eyes, and the black eyeballs were rolling around, but he was already smiling with his mouth open.She glanced at him, seeing his complacent look, and said nothing. But Baili Haozhe laughed: "This is called father-son connection. When he heard that I was going to take him to ride a horse, he naturally stopped crying." She moved her hand, and the chrysanthemum dew in the jade cup had spilled out, dripping The gauze that fell on the blue color floated away like a dizzy water.She was so flustered that she didn't hear a word of what he said later. The clear light on the horizon gradually became brighter, and the blue-colored sky-water transition zone, like a swallow's tail, gradually became bright red.Mu Qing stayed up all night, so he simply woke up early.The maid who was watching the night outside the Hall of Compassionate Ning was dozing off when she was suddenly pushed by her companion, and she saluted tremblingly: "Aunt Mu." Aunt Mu pays the most attention to court etiquette. Those who were sent out of the Hall of Compassion and Peace.The maid was trembling, not even daring to vent her anger. Mu Qingzheng was distracted and didn't pay much attention.He only ordered: "Keep watch carefully, don't wake up the Empress Dowager." All the maids responded softly, "Yes!" Mu Qing looked at the sky and called the two maids: "Follow me." The Hall of Compassion and Peace is not far from the Hall of Zhaoyang.Walking all the way in the imperial garden, the sky has already brightened up.There are so many exotic flowers in the Royal Garden. Although it is autumn now, most of them are still in full bloom.Illuminated by the rising sun, the clear dew on the flowers reflects the bright light.But she had no time to appreciate it, and hurried to Zhaoyang Hall. Mo Lan and Mo Zhu were already waiting outside the hall, when they saw Mu Qing, they hurriedly greeted them and saluted.Mo Zhu giggled and said, "It's so early, what kind of wind brought Aunt Mu here?" Mu Qing glanced at the closed door, and said in a low voice, "Is the Queen still up?" Mo Lan replied, "Well, Miss is still up today. Is Auntie busy?" Aunt Mu looked at the people on both sides. The maid said: "It's nothing important, just come to greet the queen! A few days ago, the queen mother asked about the queen's diet, and asked me to come over and ask if the chrysanthemum dew and some preserved fruits that the queen sent over a while ago are used up? If so The empress likes it, let me send some more." Mo Lan understood in her heart, and said, "Miss eats it every day. I'll go and see, is there any left?" Pushing the door lightly, I saw the curtains in front of the bed drooping, and the sandalwood in the gilded stove. Green smoke is still smoldering thinly, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance.The pale golden sunlight shines on the silhouettes of the branches, swaying and smearing on the white marble bricks. She was about to leave when she heard Ruan Wushuang's voice from the bed curtain, and said lazily, "What time is it? Help me up!" Mo Lan took her clothes and went into the room, only to see Ruan Wushuang was about to Sitting up, the brocade quilt slightly slid down following her movements.Mo Lan's eyes were sharp, and she saw the red marks on the young lady's body in different shades at a glance.He hurriedly lowered his head and handed over the clothes. It seems that rumors that the emperor wants to establish a concubine may be false.The emperor loved their young lady very much, except for the occasional overnight stay in Chengqian Hall due to busy political affairs, he would always go back to Zhaoyang Hall.Just like what Mo Zhu said, even if there is a concubine in the future, it will be a matter of the future.As long as the lady helps the emperor to have more princes, this prince will be more secure than nails. While helping Ruan Wushuang to change clothes, Mo Lan said: "Miss, Aunt Mu is here. I think she seems to be in a hurry, so she came here early in the morning!" Ruan Wushuang was brushing her hair, and when she heard what Mo Lan said, she turned her head, feeling Si asked in surprise, "Oh, it's so early?" After a pause, she said, "Call her in! Let Mo Zhu come in to wait on you. The others step back." Mu Qing saluted according to the palace rules, and stood aside.Ruan Wushuang cleaned his mouth while Mo Lan combed his long hair: "Aunt Mu, tell me what you have to say, there are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be polite." Mu Qing then opened his mouth, and said in a trembling voice: "Empress, The servant should have told you about this earlier, but the Queen Mother forbids it." Ruan Wushuang turned his head in confusion, and asked, "Aunt, forbid..." Mu Qing sighed, and said worriedly: "Since the first emperor left, the Empress Dowager has been in poor health. The imperial doctor can't diagnose the reason, but only said that the Empress Dowager is suffering from a heart disease. Every day, the servants are asked to cook some tonics, saying that it is because The Empress Dowager can't accept that the emperor is gone, and it may be better in a while." "Yes. That's what Tai Hospital told me!" Ruan Wushuang nodded. Mu Qing said urgently: "But it's been a while, the queen mother has become more and more serious. These few days, she vomits blood every day..." Ruan Wushuang was startled, and the ivory comb she was holding on to fell to the ground with a "slap": "What? " Mu Qing nodded, his face was pale: "The empress dowager didn't allow the servant to tell you! She said that you gave birth soon, and she didn't want you to worry about being tired. But last night, she vomited blood again, and the servant was really worried, so she came here early in the morning to report to you!" Ruan Ruan Wushuang turned to Mo Lan and said, "Order, immediately send all the on-duty imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital to the Hall of Compassion." Ruan Wushuang was sitting on a brocade chair, wearing a sky-blue silk and phoenix-tailed skirt, with five flying phoenixes in the morning sun hanging on her hair, and pearl and jade tassel strings were gracefully scattered among the jet-black hair.The sun shines in lazily through the screen window as thin as cicada's wings, and falls like smoke on the staggered golden hollowed-out walking swing, reflecting a little bit of flash, making it appear noble and graceful. The imperial doctors of the imperial hospital filed in, headed by Su Quanhong, knelt down and saluted: "I pay my respects to the empress empress, empress, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" Ruan Wushuang lightly waved his silk sleeves and said, "Get flat!" He raised his head, glanced at the imperial physicians, and fixed his eyes on Su Quanhong: "Su imperial physician, what disease does the Empress Dowager suffer from?" Su Quanhong lowered his head, and replied respectfully: "The empress, I'll wait for the doctor again and again, or..." After a pause, he raised his head to take a peek at Ruan Wushuang's expression, still calm and calm, as if there was nothing unusual, and then continued: "Weichen and others still think that the empress dowager has a heart disease, which is stagnant in her chest, and it is difficult to resolve. It's just... it's just that the empress dowager has not been able to let go of her heart, so that the disease is showing signs of getting worse!" Ruan Wushuang stood up slowly, and said softly, "Then what's the cure?" Although the tone was very peaceful, there was an indescribable majesty in those words. Su Quanhong looked at the imperial physicians behind him in embarrassment, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "Your official...you should be damned! In such a situation, as a patient, you must let go of your heart, so that the medicine can work. But the empress dowager... ...Your servants really deserve to die..." Su Quanhong knelt down after speaking.Seeing this, all the imperial physicians behind them also hurriedly knelt down together: "Your servant should be damned!" Ruan Wushuang clenched her hand silently, her eyes seemed to be blurred, she shook her head slightly, and it was a little better.However, in the past few months, my aunt has become so haggard.Taking a deep breath, Fang Jing came to her senses and waved her hand to signal them to back off. After a long time, Cai sighed quietly and said, "Aunt Mu, you heard what the imperial physicians said just now. Auntie, why doesn't she refuse to take medicine?" Thinking, how could the servant not understand!" The golden sunlight shone through the heavy coverings and fell on the white marble bricks, and the branches and leaves in front of the window were printed mottled backwards. The Empress Dowager Ruan, Ruan Yujin, was just a 15-year-old cardamom girl who participated in the flower viewing banquet held by the court at that time.In fact, the palace has always held various banquets, and the flower viewing banquet is just one of them.In some cases, the emperor and the empress used banquets to have fun with concubines and officials, while in some cases, "blind date parties" were held for the marriages of princes and princesses. Although Ruan Yujin was only fifteen years old, she had a beautiful and refined appearance, and she was already a well-known beauty in the capital.In order to see Miss Ruan's true face, some people in the capital waited on the first and fifteenth day of every month on the way to the Great Buddha Temple outside the capital, because that was the only day Ruan Yujin would go out to offer incense. The meeting under the willow tree in Taiye Pond made Ruan Yujin fall in love with the handsome sixth prince at first sight.A few days later, the imperial decree came down to the Ruan Mansion, and the emperor decreed that Ruan Yujin betrothed to the sixth prince.Although I heard that the sixth prince already had several concubines in the mansion, Ruan Yujin agreed to the marriage without hesitation.But after entering the imperial mansion, although there was inevitably some jealousy with concubine Ji, the sixth prince has always cared for her and showed great favor to her. But the sixth prince was also affectionate to the other concubines. In the second year after he was canonized as the prince, concubines Ji gave birth to two princes for him.For this reason, Ruan Yujin had a cold war with the sixth prince for a year, before accepting Baili Haoting and Baili Haozhe... Quietly listened to Aunt Mu tell the story of the first emperor and aunt, along the way, more than 30 years, so much love and love.Through the window, you can see that the begonias outside the Hall of Compassion and Ning are still graceful, but things are people and things are not things! Empress Dowager Ruan was lying on the bed with her brocade quilt in her arms. The quilt was embroidered with large peonies, white, purple and blue on a bright yellow background.For some reason, in Ruan Wushuang's eyes, her aunt's complexion was even more gray and colorless. I still remember that half a year ago, beside the Taiye Pool in the Imperial Garden, my aunt's every gesture was graceful and luxurious, and she was magnificent.At this time, her eyes were sunken and she was expressionless. When she saw Ruan Wushuang coming in, she forced a smile: "I told Mu Qing not to tell you. She, why does she still treat me as her master now?" When Mu Qing heard this, he knelt down with a "plop": "Queen Mother?" Empress Dowager Ruan glanced at her and laughed: "Get up, master and servant, not even a joke. Go, go, go Wait outside!" Turning to Ruan Wushuang, he said, "Look, Mu Qing has such a fussy temper!" Ruan Wushuang twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling so sore in his heart that he couldn't laugh.In the gilded furnace in the room, there was burning white sandalwood incense for peace of mind. At this time, the fragrance was spreading faintly and faintly. Ruan Wushuang lowered his head and said consolingly, "Aunt Mu is also doing it for her own good. Her love for you is like a lesson from the sun and the moon." The Empress Dowager Ruan remained silent, and said for a long time: "I don't know. In the past few decades, she has helped me with everything... At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I used it every day. The food I eat is all inspected by her with the help of silver needles... Without her, maybe I would have passed away long ago... When I gave birth to Mingying and Mingyan, she was the only one who stayed by the bed day and night. " Through layers of curtains, staring at the fragments of light in front of the window, it seems like whispering: "If one day, you will help me protect her well..." Ruan Wushuang was suddenly startled, and cried out: "Aunt—— " Empress Dowager Ruan showed a trance smile, and said very gently: "The day I met him, I was picking chrysanthemums under the tree, and he stood behind me secretly. When I turned around with the flowers, he was startled. But he helped me pick it up with a smile on his face, and said, "Looking back at the door, but smelling green plums"... He also said that he had never seen a more beautiful girl than me. The light of that day was like today, It's very comfortable. At first, I only said that I was going to attend the flower viewing feast, but my mother secretly smiled at me..." After a while, he sighed again: "He actually doesn't like me, he just likes the power of our Ruan family. He has a beloved woman named Ou Jingzhi. He placed her in the mansion as a concubine Ji. Every day There was no other person in the room. I just knew that he doesn't love me. But I, I..." Empress Dowager Ruan closed her eyes, and a few lines of tears slowly slipped from the corners of her eyes.The pain of these decades has never been explained to outsiders. "Wushuang, his every move was once the greatest joy and sorrow in my aunt's life...but why...why..." The shadow of the cold moon in the prince's mansion is still watching in the same place coolly, no matter the wind and rain, the annual rings change, and he refuses to reveal a little bit of his mind.Wushuang silently held her aunt's hand, a few traces of pain flashed in her eyes. After leaving the Hall of Compassion and Ning, it was time to light up the lanterns at night, and the sky started to rain.Mo Lan has already arranged for Feng Luan.Wu Shuang was preoccupied, took the umbrella in Mo Zhu's hand, waved his hand, and said: "You all step back, let me be alone." The twilight in the imperial garden was deep, because it was autumn, the ground was full of withered and yellow leaves, and there was a slight "chi chi" sound when stepped on.My aunt got sick because of the late emperor.The first emperor has passed away, how to cure this disease?The years are silent, and the golden years that have been scattered into mud flow gracefully at the fingertips.But what about the story in the middle? The wind slowly blew through the rain curtain, and people shivered a few times suddenly, with a slight chill passing through their hearts.Before he knew it, he had arrived at Zhaoyang Hall, and Mo Lan and Mo Zhu were already waiting outside.Seeing Ruan Wushuang, he ran over quickly, holding umbrellas, taking off cloaks. With sharp eyes, Mo Lan saw that Wushuang's embroidered shoes were slightly wet, and ordered: "Go and prepare hot water." The maid quickly brought up the copper basin filled with hot water.The water temperature is suitable, and the warm and comfortable feeling slowly rises from the bottom of the feet, and the whole person seems to be warmed up. The maids took out the copper basin again, and the room was very quiet.Mo Lan and Mo Zhuben are clever people. Seeing Miss like this, they naturally knew that she was worrying about the Queen Mother.Not daring to disturb him, he backed out gently.It was only after closing the door that I noticed that the maids and servants had already kneeled in two rows, and it turned out that it was Baili Haozhe who had arrived.The two hurriedly knelt down to salute, and just about to call out "Long live the emperor", Baili Haozhe made a gesture of silence, and swallowed the words hastily. Baili Haozhe pushed open the door lightly, only to see a gauze lantern lighted in the inner bedroom, the light and shade varied.There was no one on the bed, obviously the emperor was not in bed today.She was sitting on the brocade couch with her legs crossed, her head resting on her knees, and she seemed to be resting with her eyes closed.From getting married to now, it was the first time he saw her sitting in such an undignified posture. She had always been noble, elegant and well-mannered.But at this moment today, it seems that this is the real her... For some reason, it was as if a string deep in his heart had been plucked, and his body shook suddenly.It seemed unbelievable in his eyes, but it was only for a moment or a second, and he quickly returned to his usual calm.The scene of just a few sparks seemed to have never appeared before.The footsteps were no longer deliberately light, as if they were intended for her to hear. Ruan Wushuang slightly raised his head, watching him come step by step.It took a while to react, and got down from the brocade couch in a panic. It was only after landing on the ground that she realized that her feet were standing on the white marble bricks, and her feet were cold and chilling. It turned out that she was not wearing socks.Baili Haozhe had already noticed it, smiled slightly, stretched out his hands, clasped her slender waist, leaned into her ear and said softly: "Be careful of catching a cold." He picked it up and placed it gently on the couch. She put her arms around his neck to stabilize her body, the jade tassel on the Feibu swing shook for a while, hitting his face with varying degrees of severity.His gaze was still fixed on her feet, and she only felt a shortness of breath, and instinctively wanted to retract into the skirt, but it was still a step too late, and he had already held it with one hand, with an indescribable charm.She called out in a low voice: "Your Majesty..." Baili Haozhe only felt that his hand was very slippery, a small lump, weak and boneless.The cool snow, slightly icy cold, seems to be carved out of the finest suet white jade, but this white is mixed with a little red, making it even more lovable.There is a vague fragrance of jasmine, which makes my heart tremble.She only felt that her face became hot all of a sudden, and even the bases of her ears turned red, and she struggled slightly, wanting to shrink back.He refused to let go, he was in a stalemate, his palm was scorching hot, sticking to his skin, like the carbon in the footbath in winter, it was so hot that it burned his whole body. He leaned over at one end, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at her slightly sideways, as if admiring her embarrassment, his eyes were lazy but shining like stars.She didn't dare to distinguish carefully, so she had to close her eyes tightly, only to feel the warm and humid breath rubbing against her feet, but her heart beat quicker and faster, but she couldn't break it, so she could only say softly: "Your Majesty... It's time to eat." Baili Haozhe said "Oh", as if he just murmured: "Let them wait!" Wushuang panted softly, her cheeks flushed, and she pillowed on Baili Haozhe's arm.A head of jet-black long hair meanders like a waterfall, sprinkled on the brocade mattress with bright yellow clouds and dark patterns like a splashed ink painting.Occasionally, a few strands hang loosely around the neck, but they make the skin more like snow.For some reason, in Baili Haozhe's eyes, he became slightly hot again. He gently held a bunch and played with it slowly, the hair was soft and smooth, vaguely smelling of her body, the clear and light jasmine smell, not strong, quiet and elegant.Because of being close, he could tell: "What are you busy with today?" He actually knew that she had been in the Empress Dowager's Hall all day long.Ruan Wushuang hadn't calmed down yet, and said in a low voice: "Accompany the Empress Dowager in the Hall of Compassion and Ning!" He seemed to be very satisfied with her answer, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gave a soft "oh". There was only a gauze lamp lit in the corner of the room, and the light shone slightly. Because he was in the backlight, she couldn't see his expression clearly, and she was a little lazy and satisfied after loving.I can only feel his breath spraying on my ears warmly, as if tens of thousands of ants are gnawing on it, making it crisp and numb. Thinking of today's pulse diagnosis at Tai Hospital, Ruan Wushuang felt heavy in his heart, and sighed lightly.Although it was just a soft sigh, barely audible, Baili Haozhe could still hear it very clearly when he got close.He lowered his eyelids, covering his eyes that were darker than the deepest night, and asked after a while, "What's the matter?" The voice was so soft that people couldn't tell the difference, like a whisper during intimacy. Ruan Wushuang blinked, and her butterfly-like eyelashes cast dark marks on her face: "My aunt's illness has not recovered, and she has been vomiting blood for the past few days." Baili Haozhe's eyes dimmed, and he said in astonishment, "How could this be? A few days ago, Su Quanhong reported that the empress dowager was just suffering from depression and chest tightness. She just needed to take some medicine and recuperate. How could it be?" Hematemesis is so serious? And such a big thing, no one from the Tai Hospital came to report, have you eaten a leopard's guts?" Gently let go of her hair, and then held her slender hand, which was soft and greasy with a trace of coldness: "Don't worry too much, I will order all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital to check the pulse tomorrow!" Wushuang's heart was slightly sweet, as if the worry and fear all day had come to an end.There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "A few days ago, the imperial hospital reported the same to me. But the queen mother vomited blood these days, and they didn't know about it. Only Aunt Mu knew about it. That's it. She really can't hide it today, so she just came to Zhaoyang Hall." The voice slowly lowered, light and soft, as if he was extremely tired, the only warmth came from his hands, which were thick and powerful, as if carrying the power to calm people's hearts: "Hao Zhe... I'm afraid... The imperial doctors said it was just a heart disease, I'm afraid it's because my aunt doesn't want to..." The curtains are beige, with light and shadow hovering over them, dim and misty, rippling like water.The expression on his face implied forbearance, this was the first time hearing her call his name, but for some reason, there was an inexplicable warmth in his heart.Her watery eyes flowed, and there was a slight watery light in the depths of her eyes, with an indescribable charm and charm, which made me feel pity. He was full of thoughts all of a sudden, and he felt the urge to hug her tightly and take care of her.After holding back for a long time, she finally calmed down. She just kept stroking her hand, feeling the softness and smoothness of her fingertips, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid. There are countless talents in the Tai Hospital. There must be someone who can cure the Queen Mother's illness." Yes! If the doctors in the palace are helpless, I will order to recruit famous doctors from all over the world. The world is so big, there must be capable people!" She gave a slight "hmm", and she didn't know whether it was because of his words or because of his being beside her, she finally let go of the worry she had been worrying for a whole day.Relying on his warm body temperature, the eyelids became heavy.On weekdays, Wushuang must take a nap for a while, but today in the Empress Dowager's Hall, she has been worrying and fearing, after such a relaxing time, the tiredness also slowly hits. He kept turning sideways, and when he lowered his head, he could see her face, a few strands of fine hair wrapped around his ears, surrounded by her smell, the light and light scent of jasmine, warm and intoxicating.He just looked at her like this, his hands and feet were slightly numb due to the continuous movement of his body, but his heart was peaceful, as if the world was in his hands, and he only wished it would be longer now, longer. There was a very light coughing sound from outside the door.It should have been suppressed, but it was passed on in the middle of the night without any leaks.He shook his whole body suddenly, as if he was just waking up from chaos, and let go of her hand gently, but still didn't look away, and sat up very slowly, very slowly.She was already asleep, exhaling like blue, but she still didn't realize it. He got up and got out of bed, turned around slowly and took another look.Wushuang huddled under the bright yellow brocade quilt, she didn't move, because she was asleep and didn't wake up.A head of jet-black hair was spread on the brocade mattress, bright yellow and jet black reflected together, like flowing water and waterfalls.He was startled, and his footsteps moved, as if he wanted to go back to bed, but he held back after all.Under the gauze light, she just curled up in the quilt like a kitten.He paused for a long time, but he still didn't stay, turned around and walked out. Shi Quan and other servants were waiting outside the hall.Seeing him coming out, he hurried over to wait on him: "Your Majesty..." Glancing at the emperor's face, his brows seemed to be slightly frowned.Shi Quanyi is a shrewd person, it can be said that he is very good at reading people's minds, if not, how could he be promoted again and again in the court for decades, until he was promoted to the general manager next to the emperor.Seeing that the emperor's expression was wrong, he stopped talking, bowed and waited for the emperor's instructions. Baili Haozhe glanced at the night, it was as black as ink, without a single star.The pavilions, terraces and pavilions are all hidden in the dark, and even the outlines are unclear. The heavy rain is about to come and the wind is full of the buildings.After a while, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes very quickly, and said as usual: "Return to Chengqian Palace." Ruan Wushuang slowly opened his eyes, watching his back slowly getting further and further away from her.The sense of happiness that had just filled my heart was gone little by little.It seems that it is just a rainbow after the rain, which can be seen but cannot be touched, let alone caught.He didn't know, she was used to his temperature... Outside the hall, there was a gust of wind, which made the dead branches in front of the window tremble and rattle.Not long after, blue lightning split the dark night, and raindrops fell like crazy amidst the rolling thunder.
