Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Dongfeng intends to lift the curtain

In September, the golden wind penetrates the heavy clothes, and in October, the grass withers and the eagle's eyes are sick. In October of that year, in the mountains and forests eighty miles west of the capital, hunting began in the Royal Forbidden Garden.In the first ten days of October, the ministers in charge of the siege first set up the siege, and no one was allowed to enter the hunting area. The imperial forest army ran away to clear the people, in case woodcutters and medicine men entered.A total of sixteen hills are all blocked. In mid-October, there was indeed no one going in and out of Chashan Mountain, and the yamen were preparing for hunting.Guide officers and soldiers to the places they pass, and familiarize themselves with the terrain.The Ministry of War plans the entourage and the retinue of the Imperial Forest Army.The day before the trip, the autumn hunt was used to worship the ancestors in the Fengxian Temple.

On the fifteenth day of the tenth month, Shang Xun rode out of the palace on horseback, accompanied by military officials, and sent out on his knees by civilian officials. The first emperor didn't like bowing horses, and after Shang Xun came to the throne, he kept saying that he was young and weak, so the autumn hunting had stopped for more than ten years. Emperor Xun is getting older, and now he has begun to take over the court, and his health is gradually getting better. This time may be a pre-announcement to show his confidence in the court in the future. Following him, in addition to King Rui Shangjie, Prince Xingren, Jun Taifu's son, Queen's elder brother Jun Rongyu and others.

After leaving the city, we walked gradually to the hunting place and rested overnight. On October 16th, the autumn hunting officially began. The blue sky in autumn is as clear as washing, and the clouds are light in color, long and winding on the top of the distant mountain. On the plain, all the horsemen were galloping, rounding up their prey.Jun Rongyu stood behind Shang Xun and stared at the space between heaven and earth. When a circle of smoke and dust billowed in the distance, he shouted excitedly: "Here we come!" Shang Xun stood up, and when the dust and smoke got closer, he could see that the horses were driving wild deer and roe deer fleeing in panic, and occasionally a few wild sheep.

The riders around here also urged their horses and rushed towards the center.The encirclement immediately narrowed, and the animals were shocked to see that there was also an obstacle in front of them. The ones who fled ahead were too late to stop, turned around too quickly, and fell to the ground with their knees thrust out abruptly.I saw a piece of dust billowing in the encirclement, animals screaming and shouting, and there was chaos. Jun Ronghe offered his bow and arrow, and asked the emperor to hunt first.Shang Xun felt that hunting like this was boring, but as usual, the emperor had to hunt first before anyone else could start hunting. He took the bow and arrow and shot a random arrow into a cloud of dust. A deer fell to the ground with a "yo" sound and followed The official was going to hunt prey in such chaos, Shang Xun stopped him and said: "In the past, Chengtang net opened three sides. Today, I am afraid that the wild animals here will be hunted out and they will disperse."

The herald immediately issued an order to let them hunt loose on their own, to see who has the most prey, and reward them in the evening. Shang Xun slowly washed his hands in the basin brought by the accompanying maid, and saw that Shang Jie's toes touched the stirrups, and he got on the horse, he called: "Brother Huang." The horse had already started, but Shang Jie pulled the reins, and the ready-to-go horse immediately stood up, neighed in the air, and stopped abruptly.Shang Jie didn't come down from the horse, but just leaned over and asked, "Your Majesty?" Shang Xun didn't know what to say for a while.At this time, a bird chirped in the sky, and Shang Xun looked up to see a pair of big white birds flying in the sky.

"This is a swan. It's going to fly to the south." Shang Xun asked, and Shang Jie responded. Jun Rongyu thought that the emperor wanted swans, so he raised his bow and arrow and shot at the pair of swans. The wings of a swan, only to hear the swan screamed, and fell sharply on the grassland. The entourage immediately went on the horse, leaned up and down on the horse, picked up the swan in his hand, and said loudly: "It's the property of the king and you." The clerk hurriedly wrote it down. Only one other swan was left flying up and down in the sky, panicking. Shang Xun said lightly: "These two birds flew to the south together to spend the winter together, but now there is only one left, and it will be alone in the future. It's really pitiful."

Hearing what he said, Shang Jie looked up at the startled swan, and suddenly remembered the sentence "I wish to be a pair of swans, soaring high." This swan has lost its partner, and will be alone in the future, with thousands of mountains and rivers, it is really impossible to survive. He suddenly stretched out his hand and drew out the bow and arrow, aiming at the swan flying in panic, the bowstring vibrated, and the arrow pierced through the heart, and the swan wailed mournfully, and fell from the air to the ground, dying immediately. He put down the bow and arrow, said lightly: "Now they are together." He turned the horse's head and galloped away.

The aroma of the surrounding sun on the grass leaves was attacked by a faint smell of blood. It was almost noon, and the gold began to be heard, but everyone was enjoying themselves in the mountains, and it took a long time to see a few people running back.When everyone was guessing who would have the most prey today, someone suddenly pointed to a distant hill and shouted: "Purple deer!" Ordinary deer are reddish brown or yellowish brown, but the color of this deer is extremely strong, it is actually red sandalwood color, the horns on the top of the head are tall and majestic, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at this place.

At this moment, Shang Xun picked up his bow and arrow, and rushed forward in the lead. The deer turned and ran, Shang Xun followed closely.The imperial guards hurriedly followed. A group of people disappeared into the forest. It was noon at this time, and the sun's rays shone fiercely on the undulating plains with a radius of hundreds of miles.Autumn is the same all over the world.The leaves all over the mountains and plains are bright red, golden, grayish yellow, and even if there is still green, they are already dull. It was already early morning when Yongzhu Palace was alarmed.Tangyue anxiously woke up the sleeping queen Jun Rongfei.The queen is young and loves to sleep, so she opened her eyes unhappily.

She heard Tangyue's frightened incoherent voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is back, your empress should hurry up and have a look..." Jun Rongfei looked at the sky outside and asked in amazement, "Why are you back now?" "I heard...the emperor was shot by an arrow while hunting, and now he is in the Qingning Palace, your empress should hurry up..." Jun Rongfei stood up in her clothes, thinking that she would definitely see the minister now, although the situation was anxious, but the ceremony cannot be abandoned, so she put on her regular clothes, put on the Xiapei, and hung up the pendant.He straightened his hair, put on the phoenix crown, put on the brocade sandals with cloud head, fastened the big belt, and then ordered Luan to drive.

By the time she arrived at Qingning Hall, all the imperial physicians from the imperial hospital had already arrived.She asked her eldest brother Jun Rongyu, and then she learned that when the emperor was chasing a purple deer, suddenly a tributary arrow shot from the bushes, and hit the emperor's chest.Although the accompanying imperial physician took out the arrow, he had already injured his lungs, and he is still in a coma. When he takes a breath, blood gushes out from his nose and mouth. Jun Rongfei went over to look at Shang Xun, he was pale and cold under the light of the first hall.She was so frightened that she covered her face with a handkerchief and sat by the bed crying silently. Suddenly, she saw Shang Xun's lips move slightly.She hurriedly knelt down and leaned forward to listen. The first few words were vague and she couldn't make out what they were. Later, he said the same word several times in succession. Jun Rongfei listened intently, holding her breath, and it took a long time to realize that the word 'Ayan' came out together with the blood from the dying Shang Xun's mouth. She looked up at the panic-stricken people around her, and saw that the lights in the hall were as bright and cold as frost and snow. She turned her head to her elder brother, Jun Rongyu, the right envoy of the Defense Department of the capital, and said, "Go to Yuncheng Palace and order Concubine Shengde." When Jun Rongyu arrived at Yuncheng Palace, the sky was clear and bright, and the guards of Yuncheng Palace checked the queen's order and took him to Lingxu Pavilion.Beside the small building where the waterfall was cascading, he saw Concubine Sheng De standing on the cliff watching the waterfall. He knelt down and said: "The Defense Department of the capital, Youcheng Junrong, has seen Defei." The sound of the water beside the waterfall was like thunder, echoing faintly in the surrounding valleys, his voice seemed weak, Sheng Yan couldn't hear it clearly, and turned back to ask: "What's the matter?" He looked up at her, and in the water wind behind her, her plain white clothes fluttered like clouds and mist, and countless flowers kept blooming behind her.The waterfall is flowing down, she seems to be rising slowly, Jun Rong is in a trance, as if she is becoming a fairy. He didn't dare to look too much, and hurriedly lowered his head. Sheng Yan thought that he couldn't hear her, so she came closer and asked, "It's the emperor...do you want to see me?" "The emperor was in danger during the autumn hunt, and the imperial physician was helpless. Now he only wants to see the concubine De, and please return the concubine De to the palace immediately..." he bowed his head and said. Hearing what he said, Sheng Yan knew that it was in danger, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran out, Diao Kui followed her out, but she saw her knees go limp at the door, kneeling in the frost on the ground. Diao Kui rushed forward to hug her, only to realize that she had no strength in her whole body, and was barely supported by someone to sit on the car. Her hands were cold and trembling slightly.Diao Kuo reached out to touch her forehead, but found that there was no temperature at all, and quickly shrank back in shock. The carriages and horses ran wildly along the way, and when they arrived in the capital, the sun had already risen, and the autumn frost on the roadside turned into dew, crystal clear and translucent, showing colorful colors under the sun. Entering from Nanhua Gate, Qingning Hall is right in front of you. Sheng Yan staggered towards Shang Xun's bed, and the queen looked at her disheveled temple hair and white body, she frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is alright." Shang Xun is calm now, more than a dozen imperial doctors tossed about half the night, the blood finally stopped, but his lips were dark blue, his whole body was cold, and he could only breathe his last breath waiting for her. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but she could not speak a word.Shang Xun slightly opened his eyes to look at her, not knowing whether he should resent her or be sad. He stretched out his hand with difficulty, Sheng Yan hurriedly clenched his fingers tightly, she was choking from crying, she held his hand, her knees gave way, and she knelt beside his bed. His lips were moving, Sheng Yan pressed her face against it, and heard him say: "Ayan..." The voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from far away. She buried her face on the quilt beside her, but he raised his hand vigorously, brushed her hair away, and looked at her quietly, with inexplicable sadness in his eyes. After a long time, he asked in a low voice, "How long do you plan to live after I die?" She knelt on the ground and looked at Shang Xun, not knowing what to say, she tremblingly said after a long time: "The emperor's life is boundless..." He stopped her suddenly and said in a low voice, "Needless to say... I don't want to hear it." He looked resentful and looked at her coldly. Sheng Yan silently kowtowed to the ground, Shang Xun looked at her for a long time, his consciousness began to blur, and he only saw the sunlight outside the window faintly shining in.In the darkness of the room in Qingning Hall, only Shengyan is bright. Dazed and hallucinated, he saw Sheng Yan standing under the wisteria flowers on the rockery, the bright spring sun was blurred, and she seemed to emit a blazing brilliance in the smoke-like mist of the purple vine flowers, and the radiance flowed. It was the scene when we met for the first time.Up to now, he still clearly remembers even the slightest expression on her face. He slowly let go of his hand, closed his eyes, and said forcefully to Jingtai: "Send her back...to Chaoqing Palace." Leaving Qingning Hall, being blown by the wind outside, Sheng Yan thought about what he said just now, and suddenly realized that Shang Xun wanted to follow him. How long do you plan to live after I die? However, he said it, but he didn't want to hear his answer. But, even if she just understood what he meant, would she really be willing to sleep in the mausoleum with Shang Xun? The people of the imperial forest army were closely examining the people who were hunting at that time, but because there were no special marks on the bows and arrows, and the hunting crowd was also chaotic at that time, they had no clue for a while. And the people in the Shangshou Bureau have already started to discuss the drafting of the letter of praise to Emperor Shang Xun, because they are worried that issuing the edict after Long Yu will cause confusion. The imperial physicians discussed the injury together, but they began to debate which of Sanqi and Baiji should take more, and then began to argue. Shang Xun seemed to be forgotten in the darkness of Qingning Palace. How long do you plan to live after I die? Now that I'm leaving for good, what will you do with your life? Shang Xun only felt that the darkness in front of him gradually faded, and the dazzling light illuminated his whole body.He thought that he was going to leave and bid farewell to this world.People are the most forgetful animals. If he doesn't take her away now, she will completely forget herself in a short time. When he is sleeping alone in the ground, Shang Jie will become the owner of the attention of all people and his beauty. Death, so terrible, to lose everything. Shang Xun felt pain and grief in his heart.He gradually lost consciousness, only one thought was always clear—— Don't be alone in the dark forever forgotten, don't be happy with others, if God wants to give him another day, he must change himself, change everything. That afternoon, Shang Xun miraculously woke up, and after taking a few mouthfuls of porridge, he fell back into a deep sleep.After the imperial doctor sounded his pulse, he was surprised to find that his pulse became stronger.After being sometimes comatose and sometimes awake for seven or eight days, he began to let Jingtai help him down to the ground, and slowly walked out of Qingning Hall. In front of the eyes is the long wind blowing back, the sky is high and the clouds are light.He seemed to be born again, standing on the high steps, looking up at the sky, after a long time, he closed his eyes lightly, and let out a long sigh of relief. He is not dead, he is alive. Sheng Yan stayed in Chaoqing Palace, there was nothing to do except wait.After Shang Xun recovered, he didn't come to look for her, and no one even came to tell her. Even Shang Xun's physical condition was found out outside, and then came back to tell her. But Sheng Yan can only thank Shang Xun for being so tolerant to her in her heart.He saw her embracing his brother, and he struggled from death. In fact, a person's life is often changed in a single moment, changing love, changing character, and changing destiny. A person goes from autumn to winter, and the days flow slowly.Really lonely and helpless, Sheng Yan started to embroider just like when she was outside the palace.She spent more than forty days carefully copying the eighty-seven pictures of immortals on a twenty-foot-long white silk, and then planned to spend the next few decades slowly embroidering it.What women in the palace need to learn most is not intrigue, but how to relieve loneliness. Embroidering at the desk is very tiring. Sometimes she embroiders an eye all day long, repeatedly picking silk threads to adjust the look of the eyes; sometimes she can't embroider a face in seventeen or eight days.She was amazed by the thin blush and the smudged corners of the lips of those fairies. They were obviously gods, but they had such an emotional expression. Sometimes the maids around me would discuss while sweeping: "Do you know? It turns out that the emperor moved the queen mother to Xihua Palace." Xihua Palace is in the west corner of Miyagi, close to Lenggong.It is not suitable for the empress dowager to be moved here. Another court lady asked in surprise, "Why?" "It is said that the people from the Ministry of Punishment still can't find the assassin, and the queen mother suspects that the arrow was shot by King Rui..." At this point, Sheng Yan reprimanded in a low voice, "Nonsense." She was so frightened that she hurriedly shut up, and said timidly: "Yes... It was the queen mother who said this to the emperor, and the maid next to her heard it..." Sheng Yan was stunned for a long time before asking: "What does the emperor say?" "At first, the emperor comforted the queen mother, but later the queen mother said something serious, and he became angry. He told the people in the Ministry of Rites that King Rui is his only close relative." Shang Xun is directly pointing out the fact that the Empress Dowager is not his biological mother.Sheng Yan couldn't imagine that the gentle and generous Shang Xun would say such a thing, but in fact, she and Shang Xun are the most distant people in the palace now, so how does she know what he has become now. She thinks that people are easy to change, she and he both change very quickly. Under the shadow of the moon, among the falling flowers, the past of playing the flute until dawn is long gone. Maybe it was because of being too tired. She couldn't sleep well every night. Lying on the bed, she felt a faint pain in her waist and neck. Outside the window, the night birds fluttered and flew, whimpering. Occasionally, thinking of the time when she was with Shang Xun, she leaned on the pillow and smiled.Shang Xun treats her very well.A woman is lucky to have been loved like this. There is also King Rui's admonition.He changed everything about him easily, he was the first person in the world to make his heart beat.No matter what happens, at least he once said, marry me. So she accepted everything calmly and fell asleep peacefully. One night, the strong wind howled and was extremely cold, echoing faintly throughout the world.Shang Xun fell asleep for a long time, and suddenly woke up.Listening attentively, the wind outside is very loud, as if everything in the world has disappeared in this stern wind, and everything that comes and goes is just a dream. The ladies of the night watch were already sound asleep, so he went out of the palace gate alone, and saw the full moon in the wind outside, the moonlight was as bright as mercury pouring down the ground, bright and compelling.Jingtai had awakened at some point, and came over behind him and said, "Your Majesty, it's the third watch, go back and rest." "The first time I was with her in Tongyin Palace, it was also such a full moon." He said slowly, talking to himself, like a dream. Jingtai didn't dare to speak out, he could only say: "The emperor will go to see Defei tomorrow." Shang Xun was silent, and looked at the moonlight for a while on the porch, and finally said: "I miss her..." As soon as the words came out, there was no more words, as if all the thoughts were swallowed by the wind, "But I don't want to see her .” Jingtai didn't understand what he was thinking, so he could only follow behind him, and walked towards Chaoqing Palace with him.The sound of the wind is chaotic, and the palace walls are vaguely visible under the moonlight, and the green tiles are flowing. Indus trees in spring, osmanthus flowers in autumn nights, time just flowed away in the wind. He still loved her, but he never wanted to see her again. Leaning against the wall of Chaoqing Palace, he quietly played a piece of "Linjiang Immortal" on his flute, the piece they played together when they first met.In the shadow of the moonlight flowers, the sound of the flute is faint and dark, like an undercurrent. In this empty palace, everything has become empty, betrayed twice, parted once, resentment took root, refused to forgive, only the sound of the flute is still the same as before, the flowers are the same as before, the moonlight Same as before. Sheng Yan got up in her clothes and listened to the sound of the flute. After a long time, she reached for the flute beside her pillow and walked out slowly.The trees in Yiting are like flowing clouds in the strong wind, swaying erratically.The leaves were blown high into the sky by the wind, flashed like teardrops in the moonlight and then disappeared, and no one knew where they would land. She went to the high wall and listened to Shang Xun's flute, he was so close, just a high wall blocked everything. In the sound of the wind, the sound of the flute is thin, intermittent and continuous.Sheng Yan leaned against the wall, looked up at the cold moonlight in front of her eyes, such a vast world, such a small distance, separated by a wall, they will never go back. She brought the flute close to her mouth, and played the song "Linjiang Fairy". Xianlu tune, lingering and sentimental.Carried away by the strong wind, and the past, scattered in this night. Tears were shed in two places, inside and outside the wall. Shang Xun's chest was full of blood, the wound on his chest hadn't healed yet, the arrow that hurt his heart and lungs would end his life one day. He coughed so badly that he couldn't stand, the wound burst open, and the front of his clothes was covered with faint blood. Jingtai was too shocked to speak, so he could only support him, choked up and said: "It's windy here, the emperor should hurry back to the palace." Shang Xun raised his head and smiled, and said quietly, "What are you afraid of?" In the howling wind, after a long time, he said in a low voice, like a curse: "One day... I will make both of them regret it, and life would be better than death." Looking at his distorted and hateful face with blood on the corner of his lips, Jingtai shivered slightly. The next day in the Chuizi Hall, Shang Xun did not show any abnormalities, as if there was no flute sound last night, nor did he swear the bloody oath. While reading the memorial, Jingtai came in and reported, "The people from Prince Qi's mansion have come and said they have something important to report to the emperor." The person living in Prince Qi's mansion is the neglected prince, the son of the original regent, Xingren. Shang Xun didn't want to pay attention to that child, but after a pause, he nodded and said, "Let him in." The chief executive of Prince Qi's mansion came in, knelt down on the ground to plead guilty, and burst into tears.Shang Xun couldn't help asking what was the matter again, and then he said tremblingly: "His Royal Highness only likes to play with ants every day, and often skips class to look for ants in the palace. Yesterday Master Zheng reprimanded the prince. The prince holds a grudge. The emperor's name and taboo imperial script was placed on the chair, the young master didn't notice it for a while, and sat on it. The crown prince forced him to kneel in the court to plead guilty on the charge of disrespect. .I dare not hide anything, so I can only inform the emperor quickly." Shang Xun was not pure in his heart all the time, and he didn't want to pay attention to this naughty child. He just said: "Although the prince was naughty in the past, such a thing never happened. Now that he is getting older and more ignorant, he doesn't know how to deal with it." ?” Nie Jushan, a senior scholar in the palace, hurriedly said: "In my opinion, women are always better at disciplining children. Maybe it's better to invite the queen mother and concubine to come forward?" Rui Wang Shangjie said calmly at the side: "Speaking of which, Master Zheng was indeed negligent, and there are many former officials of the regent king in the court. I am afraid it will be difficult to make a decision for a while, let's talk about it later." "He doesn't respect his elders and elders, and tortures his elders, how can he downplay it like this?" Shang Xun didn't care about practicing benevolence at first, but when he saw Shang Jie's reaction like this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. King Rui was still indifferent, and said: "Let's look at Zheng Shaoshi's health first. If there is nothing serious about him, then even if Xingren is punished, it may not have any effect for a while. If the emperor doesn't like Xingren, it's better to wait for him to come out." After the unmanageable event, let him get rid of the title of prince." Nie Jushan immediately echoed, "What the prince said is exactly." Shang Xun sneered and said nothing.He knew that he should find an excuse to abolish the prince earlier, but he felt unwilling to go along with Shang Jie's idea. He motioned Jingtai to see how Master Zheng was doing first, and soon Jingtai came back and told him: "The imperial doctor has visited Master Zheng. After the injection, Master finally regained consciousness, but the corners of his mouth are still crooked and his speech is slurred. The imperial doctor thinks it is reassuring." I will keep it for a year and a half, and maybe I can get up and walk around." Knowing that Master Zheng had saved his life, the few people in the hall felt a little regretful. "And..." Jingtai stammered, hesitant to speak. "What?" Shang Xun asked. "Your Highness said that he won't go to the Empress Dowager and the Concubine, and he won't listen to anyone except the Concubine De..." "It's simply unreasonable." Shang Xun suddenly became angry, and smiled on his face, and said: "In this case, Concubine Sheng De has nothing to do in the harem recently, why don't the prince leave it to her." Jingtai agreed, thinking, if the crown prince really recognized her as his mother concubine, she would be implicated after the accident, and it would definitely not be good for him to be in the palace in the future. Although it seems to be famous at the moment, in the long run, it may not be a good thing. . Naturally, King Rui was not ignorant of this truth, but he didn't seem to have heard it, and only focused on his own affairs. Sheng Yan was slightly surprised when she heard that the emperor asked her to discipline the prince, but she didn't care about the situation now, she just wanted to do more things, even if it annoyed herself, it was better than worrying and being bored all day long. She asked the servant to come to the Prince's mansion and asked Xingren to come over.Unexpectedly, after a long time, the servant ran over in a panic and said, "Your Majesty, you'd better go and have a look, the prince got angry as soon as he entered the palace and refused to come." Sheng Yan frowned slightly, stood up and went out with him, and when they came to the Jinshui River at Jiaomen, Sheng Yan saw Xingren sitting by the river boredly, watching a female officer touching something in the water.It is already early winter, the weather is cold, the trees are withered, and scattered leaves are floating on the pond. Sheng Yan was surprised. People in the palace who can become female officials usually have experienced two or three dynasties. She usually wants to say hello when she meets her. Why does she come here to touch things in such a cold weather? Seeing the female officer trembling in the water, she stood in the corridor and asked, "What fell into it? Don't look for it in such cold weather." The female officer turned her head and said: "Thank you, Empress Defei, the servant will be found soon." It was only then that Sheng Yan discovered that this person was Wu Zhaoshen. When she first entered the palace, she didn't know the rules of the palace. Wu Zhaoshen taught her a lot and was the first person she met in the palace.So she was quite surprised, and asked: "Why is Zhaoshen looking for something here? Come up quickly, if it's really something important, call some young servants down later." Beside Xingren said: "I'm going to let her go down and touch things, what do you want?" His voice is still immature, but the vicious arrogance is unspeakably annoying to the ears.Sheng Yan glared at him angrily. This kid has clear and handsome features, and he is dressed in brocade and heavily patterned clothes, making him especially beautiful, but his expression is annoying. Sheng Yan asked, "Why did you tell her to go into the water?" He said with a smile: "Who told her to make me unhappy, now that she is going down, I am happy." At this time Wu Zhaoshen straightened up, and climbed ashore with a small gold gadget in her hand. She was covered in mud and water, and her lips were trembling with cold. She handed the gadget to Xingren and said tremblingly, "Your Highness, I found it..." Xingren raised his eyes for a look, stretched out his hand and knocked her hand away, and saw the little thing flew out of his hand again, and fell soundlessly into the muddy water. "What's the matter, can't even hold things?" He asked with a smile. Wu Zhaoshen's face was pale, but he could only climb down the lotus pond again. Sheng Yan didn't care about Wu Zhaoshen anymore, and sat down casually on the railing next to her, beckoned Xingren to come over, and then asked, "Where have you read it? Have you read it?" Xingren was a little surprised that she turned a blind eye, but he could only say: "Yes, I've read it." "Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself. What do you mean by that?" He was not interested in answering, and while glancing at Wu Zhaoshen in the water, he asked, "What do you mean?" Sheng Yan stretched out his hand and pushed him hard on the shoulder, Xingren was caught off guard, and fell into the Jinshui River with a crash. Although the river was shallow, he couldn't get up in his panic, and slipped and fell on the mud at the bottom of the river several times. After choking on a few mouthfuls of saliva, he finally stood up holding a piece of Taihu Lake stone. His whole body was covered in mud, and his hair was draped over his forehead. Shocked by the icy cold water in early winter, his lips turned black and his eyes turned venomously. Staring at her from behind her hair: "You...how dare you!" Sheng Yan sat on the railing by the pool and looked at him, frowning and asked: "I dare? You told the emperor that you only listen to me. Don't tell me I don't even dare to discipline you now?" Xingren shuddered and shouted: "You...you day on August 15th..." "His Royal Highness, please be cautious in your words and deeds." Sheng Yan reminded him, "First, I am now your concubine mother. You have a different relationship with me now. If something happens to me, there is no one in this palace like you. The crown prince can be regarded as a fatal blow. Second, your position as the crown prince is in jeopardy now, if you repeat the rumors about your mother and concubine and cause any discussions in the palace, I don't believe you will be safe and sound." Xingren didn't expect her to say this, half of it was out of anger, and half of it was because of the sudden freezing of the water, his face turned blue, his whole body trembled, and his teeth rattled. "The emperor has entrusted you to me. From now on, you have to listen to my concubine mother." Sheng Yan looked at him slightly and smiled, "From today onwards, I will find a few capable guards and let them supervise You. If you want to punish people, they will let you do it first-I promise they will not miss one." She turned around and said to the guards of the Forbidden Palace: "I think the weather is not bad today. Please invite Wu Zhaoshen to come up and let His Highness play in the water for a while. Get up when you touch something. If Your Highness thinks of it yourself, you guys can come up." Just invite His Highness back." The few guards looked at each other, and only one guard who entered the palace with a slightly higher rank bowed his head and said, "Follow the imperial edict." She nodded slightly to him, and found that he was a handsome young man. Although his skin was slightly dark, his eyebrows were too regular and delicate, but he was a little beautiful without makeup.She felt that this person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember it.Thinking about it again, to be able to enter the Forbidden Palace at such a young age, I am afraid that it is the child of the emperor or some minister, and he may not necessarily have seen it in normal times. Instructing them to discipline the prince well, she turned and left, ignoring Xingren's scolding behind her back. After returning home, Sheng Yan drank a cup of tea and embroidered flowers for a while, before the Diaogu who had stayed by the Jinshui River came back, gasping for breath, and said, "Prince...the prince has passed out from the cold, now Tie Fei puts her He pulled it up and went to Doctor Zheng." Sheng Yan said "Oh", the needle in her hand was still steadily embroidering the fairy's belt, and after she had embroidered about ten stitches, she asked, "Who is Tie Fei?" "It's the new guard. His father was the famous Northwest Tie General. After he died in battle ten years ago, Tie Fei entered the Xinliu camp. Now he has just arrived in the palace and is already a palace guard." Sheng Yan looked up at her and smiled slightly. Diao Ku immediately blushed, and stammered and asked, "Your Majesty... what are you laughing at?" Sheng Yan smiled and said: "It's nothing, you just met him today, so you asked him carefully." Diaoyu hurriedly argued: "Oh, no, he used to be a guard in Yuncheng Palace, but the lady didn't pay attention. On the first night when I just followed you to Yuncheng Palace, a thief came in. It was Tie Fei. saved me." Little thief... If King Rui knew that he was being called a little thief, what expression would he have on his face?She wanted to laugh when she thought of this, but when she thought of King Rui again, her heart sank again. If she had followed him to his side by mistake, what would happen now?What will you meet, what will happen, are you happy or unhappy now? But if there is no if in life, everything is already helpless. She pretended not to know, and asked Diao Mu: "What happened that night? How could a thief come in?" "Oh, I was scared to death, but I didn't dare to tell my mother... Someone came in that night. I was just woken up, but my mouth and nose were covered all of a sudden, and I was taken to the side room next to me. I thought I was I was doomed, I didn't expect that person to leave there, and I went out. It took me a long time to be discovered by Tie Fei, but fortunately nothing happened, and I didn't dare to say anything..." "That's right, it's a good thing he happened to find you..." Sheng Yan said lightly, she didn't care, and continued to embroider with her head down.At this time, Imperial Physician Zheng also came over and told her: "His Royal Highness is suffering from cold, after drinking the medicinal soup, you should cover your sweat quickly." Sheng Yan nodded, seeing Xingren who was helpless behind him being supported by Tie Fei, said casually: "Diaogu, clean up the Qixia Pavilion and let the prince rest." Diao Ku hurriedly led Tie Fei over, Sheng Yan asked Zheng Taiyi again: "Is your Highness the Crown Prince okay?" "The prince's cold air is invading his body, and he may be ill for a while, so he needs to take a good rest." Imperial Physician Zheng said worriedly. Sheng Yan said: "It's okay, it's not a bad thing to make this child suffer, I will take care of everything." "Yes." Imperial Physician Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly withdrew.
