Chapter 19 Chapter Seven

Yin Shuiya stood on the porch, watching the white snow falling from the sky.The plum blossoms under the corridor are in full bloom, with a moving pulse and a faint fragrance. A fluffy snowflake fell on her slender eyelashes, like a light teardrop, and she slowly closed her eyes.Since that person entered the palace, the emperor never set foot in Chengbi Palace again. She sighed faintly, opened her eyes, and what caught her eyes was endless plain white, charming but unsympathetic. The last time I saw the emperor was his birthday.The dinner was a palace banquet, but even the opening banquet was held in Fengyi Hall.

Even so, she didn't know why, but she was still like a deer bumping into her arms, her heart beating faster, and she was faintly looking forward to it.Since she got up early in the morning, she ordered people to bring all kinds of embroidered clothes for her to try on. She took the trouble to try on one by one, and the radiant silk and satin made people dazzled for a while. Although the color of the sunset glow is bright enough, the emperor never likes too bright colors.The smoky purple is too gray to complement her snow-muscled appearance.Although the crescent color is elegant, it is too light, not suitable for today's occasion.The sky blue one seemed too simple, nothing out of the ordinary... In the end, it was difficult to choose a purple and crimson palace dress.

I still remember that two people played chess together more than a year ago.Because at sunset, the afterglow is pulsed, and the mist is heavy.The lights in the hall have not yet been ordered, but the light has gradually dimmed, a little hazy.She was laying down, but he stretched out his hand from the side, held her hand, and said with a soft smile, "Okay, I finally won this time." She had never heard him pamper her so tenderly. The voice spoke to her and couldn't help being crazy. In fact, she played chess with him, which time he didn't win.She looked up at him shyly, but saw something disintegrate in his eyes.He returned to his usual look and his usual tone.

She sighed slightly.But she always had a faint feeling that even if the emperor held her in his arms, he didn't seem to be by her side.He looked at her in a daze, but it seemed as if he just penetrated her body, his eyes stayed in the distance... She always remembered that she was wearing this palace dress that day. The banquet was held in the front hall of Fengyi Hall, and she, Tang Concubine, Liu Concubine, Yan Concubine and others arrived one after another.I saw that all the concubines were wearing brightly colored and luxurious new clothes, their makeup was carefully combed into buns, pearls, hairpins and necklaces, and tassels on each step, all of them were full of charm.

In fact, in terms of appearance, Yin Shuiya has always been quite conceited, looking at the few concubines in the palace, it is difficult to compare them.Except for the newly canonized concubine Ning.Concubine Ke Ning's appearance is also... When all the concubines saw Concubine Ning for the first time, none of them were surprised.The one who looked so vivid was the rebirth of Empress Ruan.Later Concubine Ning doted on the harem, and each concubine somewhat understood that it was because she was too similar to the empress. In the center of Fengyi Hall, facing south and north, there is the Kowloon Gold-plated Royal Case, and beside it is the Phoenix Zaoyu Case.As soon as the concubines entered the palace, they couldn't help being startled.After they both looked at each other, under the guidance of the servants, they sat down and set up a table of birds and phoenixes.

You must know that this Fengzaoyu case, which can stand side by side with the Jiulong imperial case, can only be enjoyed by one person in the harem, and that is the queen.But now that there is only one person in the middle palace, how can Concubine Ning be allowed to overtake the respect of the mother of the country. Could it be that the emperor intends to canonize Concubine Ning as a queen?Everyone's thoughts were flying, and their faces changed slightly. The concubines were thinking a lot, and the servants had already announced: "The emperor is here—" The concubines got up and knelt down to greet them.Seeing that the emperor did not avoid suspicion, he took concubine Ning with one hand and the little prince with the other into the palace, and personally led concubine Ning to Feng Zaoyu's case.

"Let's all be flat." "Thank you, Your Majesty!" I saw that Concubine Ning was wearing a royal blue robe with wide sleeves and flowing clouds, covered with plain gauze, which was elegant and simple.Sitting demurely beside the Fengzaoyu table, she didn't say much, like a touch of Su Xinlan, blooming faintly.But the emperor spoke warmly and with a smile, turning his eyes to Concubine Ning from time to time. Only then did Yin Shuiya notice the difference in the emperor's eyes.It was also the first time I knew that the emperor would look at a person with such gentle and focused eyes.

It was the pampering look of an ordinary man looking at a woman he loves.It's not the way an emperor looks at his concubine. Thinking about it until now, it still makes her secretly grit her teeth with hatred!But today, that person unexpectedly received news that he was pregnant with a dragon fetus.Hearing a slight "click" sound next to her ears, she came back to her senses, only to see that a bright red Kodan in her hand was broken when she pinched the pillar... The charcoal fire in the Jinding stove is burning warmly, and the thin smoke is mixed with the dark fragrance of heavy wood, which makes people sleepy.Mu Ningyan hugged a sable fur, and slowly stroked her abdomen with one hand, leaning against the window of the broken peony tree, listening to the sound of falling snow.

A maid came lightly and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is already on his way." She nodded her head lightly, moved her body, and said, "Yes." Don't worry, no one wants to see you. When Baili Haozhe came in, he saw her lying on her side, eyes closed wearily, as if she was in a deep sleep.He stretched out his hand, and slowly stroked her icy cheeks with his slender fingers, as if confirming but also afraid that she would leave again... After a long time, he slowly lowered it, stopped at her abdomen, and stroked gently... The aloes from the stove overflowed one by one, and mixed with the winter narcissus on the shelves, the fragrance was light and pleasant.

Baili Haozhe stood up abruptly, strode towards the golden cauldron, kicked the stove to the ground with a "kuang", and shouted angrily, "Come on!" The maids and palace servants of Fengyi Palace knew the majesty of the emperor, but this was the first time they saw him so furious.Everyone hurriedly knelt down.Just as Shi Quanyi was waiting beside him, he knelt behind the curtain and said, "Please calm down, Your Majesty!" Baili Haozhe turned around and grabbed several narcissus in a hurry, pushed open the window, and threw them out.Shi Quan only heard a few muffled "cracking" sounds, and didn't know what happened, so he called anxiously through the curtain: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Mu Ningyan was alarmed at this time, and leaned on the pillow covering her chest, her eyes were full of fear and fright.The cold wind gushed into the room, chilling my heart.Baili Haozhe hastily stepped forward and took the sable fur and put it on her body, then embraced her in his arms, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's okay, it's okay! I'm here!" After a moment of consolation, Fang Cai asked the maid sharply, "Where did the incense in this furnace come from? Who ordered it to be burned?" Mu Ningyan's face was pale, and she replied: "Your Majesty, my concubine ordered them to light it." Baili Haozhe frowned when he heard that, "You!" Mu Ningyan said: "It's the concubine. Because when Concubine Yin delivered it the day before yesterday, the concubine smelled it and felt comfortable. I don't know why I feel restless today, so I just ordered them to order it." Baili Haozhe asked again: "What about the narcissus?" Mu Ningyan frowned, and said in a low voice: "The concubine always loves flowers and plants, and this flower is already in the palace. What's the matter?" Baili Haozhe said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's because I think the smell is weird, so I don't like it. You can't use this incense again in the future." Mu Ningyan replied softly: "Yes, the concubine knows." Baili Haozhe summoned Shi Quanyi and gave some instructions softly.Shi Quanyi took the order and left.No one noticed that the emperor's face was livid, as if a storm was about to come. Of course she doesn't know.What she burns in the charcoal stove today is the strange fragrance of the deep sea, which has only fragrance and is not poisonous.But once it is mixed with floral fragrances such as narcissus and hibiscus, it is highly poisonous. Until now, his heartbeat is still pounding.If he hadn't come early today, if she hadn't lit the fire, she and the baby in her womb would have been lost. His gaze suddenly turned cold, the most poisonous woman's heart, unexpectedly Concubine Yin's snake-hearted heart is so vicious! Just now he personally took her pulse, the pulse was slightly unstable, but it was still normal.But why those pustules haven't come out after consultation with the imperial physician. After pacing back and forth for a long time, he became more and more anxious.Only then did the imperial doctors bow and retreat from the inner bedroom, and saluted him again.He was very impatient: "Quickly tell me, what happened to Concubine Ning?" The headed imperial doctor touched his forehead to the ground, quite terrified: "Go back to the emperor, feel the pulse, and the ministers found that the empress seems to have a slight sign of miscarriage. Fortunately, the situation is not serious, and the ministers will immediately prescribe the right medicine. Please rest assured, the emperor!" Only then did Baili Haozhe nod his head: "Go down." Her head rested on his lap, her face was snow-white, her eyelashes kept trembling: "Your Majesty, what's wrong? What's wrong with my concubine?" Baili Haozhe held her cold hand, with a soft and loving heart, coaxing: "No, this is just a routine consultation with the imperial physicians. Take a rest quickly. I'm here!" She was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes suddenly, there seemed to be water in her eyes that was about to fluctuate: "Your Majesty, this concubine is not an ignorant child, so you don't have to lie to me. Concubine must listen to the truth!" Baili Haozhe gently stroked the back of her smooth and tender hand with his fingers, and said in a low voice after a while: "Do you know that the incense burned today is produced in the East China Sea, and it is called Deep Sea Wonderful Fragrance. It is non-toxic, and its fragrance is also It smells good. But once this fragrance is mixed with the fragrance of narcissus and other flowers, it will become a poisonous gas." Mu Ningyan was shocked, her first reaction was to hold her stomach, her voice was trembling: "Then..." Baili Haozhe turned her head over to meet his gaze, and lowered down bit by bit, blending with her breath: "Don't worry, our children are fine. I will never let them be fine, I will definitely Will protect you and the children. Never... never again..." She slowly closed her eyes, as if she was exhausted, she called out in a low voice, "Your Majesty." Inside the hibiscus tent, there is a lot of warmth.Mu Ningyan leaned against his arms, only feeling tiredness slowly hit her, her eyelids seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. Thinking of something in my heart, I murmured and asked: "But how does the emperor know that these two things mixed together are poisonous?" Baili Haozhe showed a helpless smile: "It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly later. You take a rest first." Mu Ningyan turned over and turned her back to him, seemingly displeased. Baili Haozhe smiled, and slowly helped her smooth black hair with his hand, and asked in a low voice: "You really want to hear it?" Baili Haozhe sighed, and said slowly: "This matter has to start with my mother... Do you know that my mother did not die of a serious illness that was announced to the outside world. In fact, she was poisoned in the Prince's mansion ……perhaps……" He sighed again, and then said: "Perhaps I was afraid that others would use this method to plot against me, so in the books I read since I was a child, besides governing the country, there are also many medical books and poisonous scriptures. I've seen everything I can find." "Later, after I became an adult and granted the mansion given by the king, I became more free in my actions, so I specially interviewed many folk experts from various places to teach me. Therefore, although I have never seen poisonous substances in the world, I know a thing or two. All poisonous substances, There must be something unique about it. For example, the incense you burn is actually a strange fragrance from the deep sea. After mixing it with narcissus, although it smells pleasant, in fact, the blood in the body will flow backwards. Most people will only feel irritable and unable to calm down. But for those who are pregnant, it is extremely dangerous and can cause miscarriage. Therefore, a medical book I read once stated in detail, emphasizing that it is absolutely forbidden for pregnant people.” Her face was hidden in the brocade quilt, she couldn't see her expression clearly, she seemed to have fallen asleep soundly. Baili Haozhe's fingers gently and slowly slid across her soft skin, from forehead to nose tip to chin to neck... Her breathing was even and slow, and his head slowly lowered, bit by bit, Until I touch her cheek... "Wushuang, don't leave me again... I will never allow you to leave me again!"
