Chapter 22 Chapter Twenty Two

After that night, Yinzhen fell ill, and his condition was severe. Because he knew the history, and knew that he was too sad and had a cold, he was not very worried at first.But watching the imperial doctor shuttling back and forth with a heavy expression, my heart lifted bit by bit. Looking at him who was pale and unconscious on the bed, his eyes were a little hot, he tried his best to hold back the tears that were about to fall, and asked the imperial physician, "When will the emperor wake up?" The imperial physician bowed and said, "Fengxie is the root of all diseases." , the emperor is invaded by wind and cold, and other evil spirits must be attached to the wind to invade the human body. In winter, wind and cold prevail..." Somewhat impatient, he interrupted him: "There is a prescription." Hearing my shout, The imperial doctor shivered and said: "The medicine is already decocted, but I need someone to accompany me at night."

After listening to the imperial doctor's reply, my heart gradually calmed down a lot, not as angry as before.Touching his hot forehead, he told Ju Xiang to change the water in the basin.After everything was arranged properly, Gao Wuyong whispered to the imperial doctors not to stay away, and let the others disperse, he quietly stood by the door with his head down. After changing countless handkerchiefs and basins of water, his body gradually returned to normal body temperature. Looking at the gray sky outside the window, it turns out that the night has passed without knowing it.His eyelids were a little rough, and he stretched out his hand to probe his forehead, finally relieved, held his hand, yawned, and lay down beside him.

After an unknown amount of time, Yoyo woke up, raised her head and rubbed her eyes, only to see Yinzhen lying on her side looking at me with her hand on her cheek.The two looked at each other quietly, the expression in his eyes slowly changed from pity to calm and then full of longing, my tears suddenly flooded my face like a flood, seeing me like this, he pulled me onto the bed and hugged me tightly in arms. He patted my back lightly and said: "Silly girl, am I alright?" I was choking up silently, but when I heard him say this, I suddenly turned into crying.He was at a loss, probably because he had never seen me lose my composure like this.He held my face, looked at me affectionately, and then gently kissed my face, sucking away the two lines of tears on my cheeks.

His kiss moved from the cheek to my eyebrows, and finally stopped on the lips. It was gentle and long. I didn't have the shyness of the past, my mind was empty, and I only knew how to respond to him clumsily.At this moment, for me, everything is no longer important, the important thing is that he is still by my side. When everything calmed down, I leaned into his arms and leaned into his arms. Although I was calm on the surface, I was thinking secretly in my heart. The dismal end, the deaths of Eighth Master and Ninth Master... indeed one by one came true.And now it has been the fourth year of Yongzheng, thinking of this, a chill hits my heart, and cold sweat oozes from the forehead in an instant, and subconsciously hugs him tightly.

Xu Shi felt my abnormality, he turned around and caressed my face and said: "Although it is normal for people to be sick, I am very happy to see you worrying about me." Without saying a word, he smiled slightly and said, "Don't think about it, let's go to sleep." His eyes were still wide open, and his body was still close to him. He giggled and patted my back gently with his hands.My vision gradually blurred, and finally I couldn't resist Zhou Gong's call. I closed my eyes tiredly, and vaguely saw us walking on the water in a small boat in the red and green willows in March.The blue waves are rippling, I am leaning on the bow in a moon-white shirt, and he is combing my hair carefully.Listening to the faint music in the distance, I looked at him tenderly, his face suddenly changed, and his whole body fell backwards. Looking at the blood flowing from his body, I waved my hands and rushed over to cry loudly: " Yinzhen……"

I cried until my heart was broken, and I had no strength in my whole body. Slowly opened his eyes, the tears still couldn't stop, the dream was so real.Looking around the room, he found that he was no longer in the room, got up to tidy up, and then hurried out, he was in good health, how dare he start governing immediately. Walking out of the courtyard gate, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in front of me. I looked up and saw that it was Ulanara and other concubines, who should have been trusted to come to see Yinzhen. I stepped forward and looked at them one by one. Ulanara said with a smile: "The emperor's illness is a pain for the girl." Knowing that she said these words sincerely, the discomfort in her heart was relieved, so she replied with a smile: "How dare you say that you are suffering? This is also my job." The smile in her eyes deepened, she came to me and took my hand and said: "From now on, the emperor's body will make the girl worry about it."

Not knowing how to answer, she had no choice but to agree, she smiled and said: "The emperor's body is fine, we will go back to the palace." As soon as Ulanara finished speaking, the concubine Qi behind her was gone. With a sneer, he said to the queen: "Your Majesty, I heard that the scenery in this pavilion is beautiful and unique. Since we have come here, let's open our eyes." . It was already early winter, the leaves had already withered, only gray and yellow dead branches were left, and all the flowers had withered, only a few chrysanthemums adorned the pavilion alone, and the interior of the pavilion was eclipsed. How could the scenery be as beautiful as she said As he said that, a bit of bitterness spread in his heart, and he was a little speechless, so he stood there quietly with a smile on his face.

Ulanara's complexion darkened, and he said coldly: "The emperor's courtyard is also for you to watch at will, it's really against you." Ulanara patted my hand and said with a smile: "Sister, a fox fur cloak was sewn in the womb a few days ago, and I will send someone to send it to my sister later. This fox fur cloak is not a rare item at all. , but the strangest thing is that it is all white without a trace of variegation. A few days ago, I was thinking that only my younger sister has this kind of temperament to wear it." Seeing the venomous light in Concubine Qi's eyes, she sighed secretly in her heart, and said with a slight smile, "Thank you Queen for your kindness, but I seldom go out in winter, so I should give it to those who need it." Seeing my resignation, The smile on her face gradually faded, knowing that she was displeased that I brushed her face, the two of them were embarrassed, Concubine Xi beside her smiled and said: "This is the empress's wish, younger sister will accept it."

Seeing that Concubine Xi seemed to have deep meaning on her face, she decided not to push back, bowed Yingying down and said: "Thank you, sister." Hearing my address, Ulanara's face was slightly startled for a moment, and then her face was full of tears. With a smile, he shook my hand tightly and walked towards the layman. Standing there, quietly watching the group of people leave, Ulanara suddenly turned his head and looked at the inner courtyard, a look of sadness and sadness flashed in his eyes, his heart shook, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.There is a feeling of sadness in my heart. In this particular dynasty, the sorrow of a woman may not lie in her being a woman, but in the various injustices imposed on women by this society.

Feeling a little depressed, he walked out of the hospital slowly with his head down, his mind was empty, without a trace of self-awareness.I don’t know how long it has passed like this, suddenly a biting wind blows, and I shiver, I look up at the hazy sky, the thick clouds are low under the sky, and the pieces are blue or gray or dark purple, like A group of unnamed monsters squeezed and overlapped each other, ups and downs in the light mist.In an instant, the drizzle fell in bits and pieces, and the bone-piercing rain woke up my nerves bit by bit. I suddenly came back to my senses, and suddenly remembered my dream this morning. It hurts.Turn around and run in the direction of Yinxi Pavilion.

In a hurry, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw Hongli walking towards him.I haven't seen him since that chance encounter in the forest. I haven't seen him these days, or because he is taller, I feel that his cheeks look a lot thinner. The two of them smiled slightly, he moved out of the way, I walked a few steps forward and was about to leave, when I suddenly felt that there was something unusual about him today.Then he turned around and said, "The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier." Hearing what I said, he turned around and smiled and said, "Is this meant to keep people?" As soon as they arrived at the main hall, a figure rushed out from the corridor. Before he could dodge in time, he was bumped and staggered, and fell backward involuntarily.I was crying secretly in my heart, but felt that my body was being supported.Turning his head to look, it turned out that Hongli who came with him gave him a hand, and smiled slightly.Following Hongli's gaze towards the perpetrator, we saw Hongshi staring at us coldly.Feeling a little cold in his heart, he still looked like this, shook his head slightly, and walked forward slowly. Just after taking two steps, his cold voice came: "The girl seems to have forgotten what she said." I was startled when I heard it, and my steps slowed down. mean.Without turning around, he walked forward slowly and said, "Everything I do is my duty." He continued: "In my opinion, it's the girl's duty to serve Huang Ama well. As for other things, it's better for the girl to not interfere." He was so angry that he stopped, turned around and looked at Looking at him, with a hint of a smile on his face, he replied: "I don't seem to need third elder brother to dictate what I should do." In an instant, his face turned black, and the veins on his forehead popped out.Seeing him like this, Hongli said: "Third elder brother, you have overstepped." Hearing what Hongli said, his complexion changed, and the corner of his mouth sneered: "I am a dignified third elder brother, why are you overstepping?" I understand why he said that, suddenly, I felt pity for him, smiled helplessly, and blessed him: "I have met the third elder brother, the third elder brother is auspicious." After finishing speaking, I turned my head to the inner courtyard Let's go, I don't want to have the same knowledge as this jealous child. After entering the room, he twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Hongli. Seeing that his clothes were still half wet after wiping, he casually summoned a young eunuch in the courtyard and told him to quickly get a set of clean clothes.The little eunuch probably felt that the two of us were in a bad mood, so he responded quickly and ran away. Sitting on both sides of the charcoal basin, the two of them coincidentally put their hands on top of the charcoal fire to roast.Looking around, I found that there was a little unnaturalness between his brows. Seeing him like this, I also felt a little embarrassed, and I didn't know what to say for a while.Pretending to be casual, he glanced around and said, "I haven't been here for a long time." This was originally my room in the Chenghuan Courtyard. Although I haven't lived here for a few days, it is still spotless and the windows are clean.When he said this, I didn't know what to say, so I asked awkwardly: "Your Mama is still discussing politics in the front hall?" He glanced at me and asked inappropriately: "You seem to be very satisfied with your current living conditions. Before I could answer, he continued, "It seems that living like this is what you wish for." He tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then let out a sigh of relief: "My friend still understands so well." Hearing what I said, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth first, and after a while, the smile disappeared, sighed, and stared at him with both eyes. The fiery coals were silent, he really had something on his mind.The two were silent for about half an hour, then he pondered for a while and said: "The emperor ordered me to be the abbot to worship the heavens in Jingling this year." A pain in his heart made his hands tremble involuntarily, Yinzhen still hadn't untied his knot, he Still can't face the Emperor Shengzu.Hongli was still immersed in his emotions and didn't notice my uneasiness. He said again: "Ama should have gone there in person, but the imperial physician thought that Ama's body would not be able to withstand the exhaustion of the boat." He clenched his fists, calmed down, and said with a smile on his face: "This is your ama's trust in you. You should handle it well so that you will not live up to his expectations of you." He looked at me for a while, shook his head and said: "The role change is really fast. Just now I called my friend, but it changed in the blink of an eye." He was slightly stunned, and immediately understood the meaning of his words, his face turned blushing, I'm a little embarrassed.After a while, I said seriously: "Don't worry about others, do what you should do." He interjected: "I never took third brother's cynicism to heart, I was just worried about Ama's health. Over the years "Huang Ama has always done political affairs by himself, and he said memorials, never every other day. This alone is unprecedented. In this way, it must be a serious exhaustion of effort. I am just afraid that Ama's illness this time is just A beginning." He sighed secretly in his heart, no one really understood Yinzhen's inner thoughts.Quietly and silently, the two of them were thinking about their own concerns.The little eunuch's respectful voice came from outside the door: "Girl, the servant has brought the fourth elder brother's clothes." Hongli came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I am afraid that some people are worried about Huang Ama, and they have long wanted to bombard others. I'm not annoying, so I'm leaving." Seeing the little eunuch neatly put on the cloak for him, he smiled back and turned away.After being dazed for a while, he went out to the front hall. Walking in the corridor, he found that Gao Wuyong was not guarding the door, he felt a little puzzled, and looked around, but there was no one nearby.Could it be that he had already gone back, and was about to turn around, when he heard a "pop" sound in the room, like the sound of a cup falling, so he quickened his steps and walked forward. Walking under the window, I heard Yinzhen's hateful voice: "When I took the throne, I invited Wang Maohong, a well-educated scholar, as a teacher to teach him academics and principles of life. I hope he can become a qualified prince. But But he doesn't know how to cherish the blessings, what he did in the imperial examination case and the eight kings' political discussions these years, he thought he was clever enough, if he didn't care about the relationship between father and son, how could I endure it until today." Xu Shi was quite agitated, Yinzhen coughed violently, and a voice of thirteen concerns came from the room: "Brother Emperor, take care of yourself, Hongshi may not be able to do it." I was shocked in my heart, did the unofficial history say that Hongshi assassinated Hongshi? The calendar is actually true. Could it be that the Jingling sacrifice to the sky that Hongli said earlier was arranged by Yinzhen, and it's not just that he has no face to see Kangxi in his own thinking. Feeling pity in my heart, I don't want to listen any more, and I am going to turn around and go back.Yinzhen in the room said again: "This year Xiaowen disappeared for no reason. Although you suppressed it, I believe you and I understand who it is. Such a wolf is ambitious, so how can he care about the love of his compatriots? If he really Now, you know what to do." I felt a little numb in my limbs and a little dull in my mind, and I walked back slowly without fear or heartache, but I just felt a little sad and desolate inside. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops were mixed with snow particles. The snow particles hit the ground and made a "beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep".Suddenly, I felt as if the rain had stopped, and when I looked up, it turned out that someone had held an umbrella for me.Seeing me stop, Gao Wuyong's voice sounded behind me: "Miss Xiaowen, the emperor ordered the servants to prepare breakfast, and told the girl to bring it in as soon as she wakes up." He waved them away, entered the house and closed the door, and sat blankly at the table.I don't know how long it took, but I felt itchy on my face, and I stretched out my hand to wipe it, and it turned out that the snow particles on my head melted and dripped down my cheeks. Looking out through the window lattice, I saw snowflakes swirling and falling one after another, and a gust of cold wind blew in through the curtain, which made me, who was already drenched, shake up.Immediately, the dullness and drowsiness all over his body were swept away.After changing his clothes, he lay on the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and kept his eyes wide open. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the familiar footsteps sounded, and he closed his eyes and lay quietly.He lifted the quilt, stroked my face with his hands, sighed softly, and called out in a deep voice: "Ruoxi." At this moment, his tone was heavy and worried, he opened his eyes, and walked towards him slightly. A pale face. Seeing him like this, his heart softened, he let go of his dullness, got up and put his arms around his shoulders. He was silent for a while, then picked me up and sat on his lap, stared into my eyes and said, "Ruoxi, let's have a baby." His heart trembled, and he didn't know how to answer. There was some longing in his subconscious, but his reason Tell yourself you can't do this.In an instant, countless thoughts turned in my heart, but I still didn't know how to refuse him. He frowned slightly, and tightly pursed his thin lips. After a while, he said, "You don't want my child." He took a deep breath and said: "Yinzhen, have you forgotten that the imperial doctor said that I would never have a child again in this life." . On the second day of Hongli's departure, I returned to the palace with Yinzhen and started a winter life in the palace. The heavy snow has been falling for three days and three nights, and there is still no sign of stopping.On this day, walking alone on the thick snow, looking at the white world, I was very happy.Standing still, looking up at the silver-gray sky, the white snow is flying and turning with the wind, which is really beautiful. I was intoxicated when I suddenly heard someone say: "It turns out that the girl also likes this kind of weather." Turning around and looking, it turned out to be Niu Hulu, the concubine of Xi, who bowed to her, then smiled lightly and said, "Although Xiaowen doesn't like it, I don't like it." It's cold in winter, but I really like the scenery in the snow." She looked at me with a smile and said, "The queen has a good eye, and only you can wear this clothes." She looked down at the clothes on her body. The cloak, which is indeed a rare item, pursed his lips and smiled, and still said flatly: "You are too proud." Although he did not repel them from the heart like before, he still couldn't gossip with them like sisters. She waved away the accompanying maid, stepped forward two steps in parallel with me, the two walked forward quietly for a while, she said softly, "Thank you sister." Fan, with a slight smile on his face, said: "Do you also think that I helped Hongli?" I thought that Hongli's intelligence and alertness were the result of her education, but today, it seems that my guess is wrong, she is no different from ordinary people. She took my hand, stood still, looked at me and said, "I never thought that you helped this child deliberately. The reason why I thank you is because you really treated this child sincerely." Seeing the string of Buddhist beads on her wrist, he suddenly felt that he couldn't see through her.Seeing that I didn't make a sound, she said again: "These days, this child seems to be depressed a lot. Maybe the emperor will marry him in the spring of next year. As a mother, I hope he will marry a woman I like. My sister has a unique vision." , and help this child pay attention." This seemed to be something she had thought through, and she said it smoothly and without hesitation, she was a little startled in her heart, after thinking about it carefully, she understood what she meant.I suppressed the smile on my face and said sternly: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The emperor said that he will marry a woman who will satisfy Hongli. Taking a step back, Hongli is also a very filial child. He knows what he should do." She lightly brushed off the snowflakes on my body, smiled at me and said: "No wonder the emperor likes you so much, you are indeed a rare and intelligent woman." She couldn't find anything to say in her heart, so she said softly: " I’ve been out for a while, so it’s time to go back.” She may have sensed my impatience, but she still smiled and said, “Then go back quickly.” Before I turned around, she said again: “Sister Ruo If you have time, go thank the queen for the reward, although you are not afraid of anything, but after all, there are many people in the palace." He pondered for a while, thanked him, turned around and walked back.
