Chapter 42 Chapter nine

Since he entered the palace, his heart has been tugging. This morning, after waking up, I was restless and anxious, my mind was like a mess, and I was pacing silently in the room. "Your Majesty, I have just come back from the palace and I have something important to report." I was anxious when Ju Xiang's voice came from outside the room, I was startled, walked over and opened the door all at once. "Your Majesty, the Emperor has not eaten for two days in the Xinuang Pavilion, and he has not summoned anyone. The Empress is also sick in bed. Gao Wuyong asked the servants to tell me whether the Empress will go to the palace." Ju Xiang stood at the door and breathed a sigh of relief. After I finished speaking, my heart ached unbearably. He came with a weak child, but unexpectedly lost another child. This kind of pain would probably overwhelm him.

Stepping out of the room, he said as he walked, "Go and prepare the car, I'm going into the palace right away." Ju Xiang behind her hesitated and said, "May I tidy up my appearance?" .Turning back into the room, he ordered Ju Xiang to tidy up briefly. The black crows knelt on the ground outside the Xinuang Pavilion, and the voice at the front sounded like Zhang Tingyu: "... Your Majesty, your body is related to our Qing Dynasty, you can't go on like this." As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers were shocked. Said in unison: "The ministers implore the emperor to put the country and the country as the most important thing, and the ministers implore the emperor to put the country and the country as the most important thing..." One after another.

Gao Wuyong had a bitter face in front of the room door, when he saw me, he looked happy, and quickly walked over and said: "Madam, the emperor has not eaten for two days, and the servants are not allowed to go in to serve." I secretly sighed, losing two sons in a row within two years, this kind of heart-wrenching pain cannot be relieved with a few words of persuasion. Staring at the closed door, my heart ached, and I asked, "Where did Prince Yi go?" Gao Wuyong replied, "Your Highness has been busy with his affairs, besides, the sixty-year-old brother fell into the water." The matter will also be investigated by the prince himself."

I was terrified in my heart, could it be that Liushi's drowning was not an accident.I turned my head and stared at him and asked: "Do you have a clue?" He trembled and replied: "I haven't heard any news. The emperor ordered the prince to investigate this matter, and no one should interfere." Withdrawing his eyes, looking at the people outside the room, he told Gao Wuyong: "Order them to leave." Gao Wuyong bowed and said yes, walked to the person next to Zhang Tingyu and said for a while.The man turned around to look, but it turned out to be Prince Guo Yunli, he got up and walked over, after the two greeted each other, he said: "Sister-in-law Huang go in and persuade Brother Huang."

I nodded and said: "You all go back, I'm afraid the old minister will not be able to support this situation." Yun Zhi sighed: "Then the younger brother will let them go, and the younger brother will go to Kunning Palace. Like the queen's own son, if he leaves, the queen will be heartbroken." After speaking, he sighed heavily, turned and walked towards the ministers. After everyone left in silence, I stepped forward and gently opened the door, and walked over. Yinzhen sat at the table with his back to the door, completely motionless, except that his braids were a little messy.Staring at the back that was sitting upright, the grief that had been suppressed for two days could no longer be suppressed, and tears fell down.

After standing for a long while, he wiped away his tears, held back his sadness, walked over to kneel on the ground and hugged him, put his face on his back and said softly: "Don't hold it back like this, just vent out when you feel uncomfortable." Same as before, sitting still, I gently shook his body and said, "Can Fuhui come back to life if you torture yourself like this?" I felt his body tremble, and my tense back loosened. I stood up and walked in front of him. His eyes were full of pain, and the cracks on his thin lips were dry. I knelt down and stroked his face. Tears fell uncontrollably again.

He looked at me silently for a while, wiped away the tears on my cheeks with his hands, stood up slowly, walked to the side of the bed without saying a word, and lay down with his clothes on.I followed and covered him with a thin quilt.Immediately afterwards, he hurried out and walked towards the imperial dining room. When I walked into Xinuang Pavilion with a bowl of millet porridge, I found that he was not on the bed. Step out of the door and walk towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Gao Wuyong standing at the entrance of the main hall hurriedly took two steps forward, took the porridge, and was about to salute, I waved my hand to stop him and asked: "Who is there in the main hall?" He glanced inward, and softly replied: "Prince Yi. "I took the porridge and stepped into the hall.

"The regulations on ships going overseas have been formulated, and we just need to issue an order." As soon as he entered the hall, he heard Thirteen's voice.Yinzhen's expression was calm, and after listening silently, he said lightly: "Then make an order, and implement it first." Having said that, he frowned slightly, his indifferent expression receded, and asked in a cold voice: " How's it going?" Thirteen was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, Fu Hui accidentally found that the fish in the lake were really beautiful, so that day, he asked the empress to appreciate them, and this happened. I checked everyone who was in the garden at that time. At that time, the maids and eunuchs were far away. Fuhui was only surrounded by the empress empress and the eldest girl Landong. They went into the water one after another, but it was still too late, and by the time they found Fuhui, he had already died."

Lan Dong, that is, Lu Lanxi, she was present at the scene of both accidents. Is it too coincidental, or is there really something wrong with her. Frozen in place, thinking silently.If she has a problem, she has done so much, why and for whom, she should always have a reason, what kind of hatred can make her use such a cruel method.Are you targeting Nalashi?Still... I am a little afraid to think about it. "Ruoxi." When I first heard Yinzhen's voice, my mind was dazed, I came back to my senses, looked at him and said: "I made some porridge, you haven't eaten for two days, you need some soft porridge to recuperate."

Putting the porridge on the case, I glanced at the quiet faces of the two of them, I was secretly sad in my heart, why did these things happen one after another, why are the peaceful days always so short.But after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, what happened to him, things in the palace have always been like this, there is not much 'why'. Suddenly felt that the hall was quiet, looked around the two of them suspiciously, Yinzhen's face was still calm, staring at me silently, Thirteen glanced at me, and then stared at the corner in front of him, motionless.

Seeing me come back to my senses, Xu Zhen said slowly: "You go back first." I stared at him silently, knowing that he wanted to order Shisan to do something, but he didn't want me to know.I withdrew my gaze, lowered my head to stir the porridge, then took a deep breath, stared at him and said, "No matter how uncomfortable you feel in your heart, you should cherish your body and don't let the people who love you hurt." Warm, but fleeting. Seeing me standing still stubbornly, he sighed softly, picked up the bowl and took a few sips.I stepped down the steps and walked quickly to the outside of the hall. Exit the main hall, turn around and enter the tea room.In the room, an unfamiliar court lady was dozing off, while the other was sitting with a book spread out on her lap, and was concentrating on reading it. Xu felt that there was someone in the room, and the maid who was sitting raised her head. It turned out to be Xiaoling. When she saw it was me, she hurriedly stood up and saluted. Get out of the main hall and call me back in time." After she answered 'yes', she put the tea beside me and walked out quickly. After taking two sips, there was a delicate fragrance on her lips and teeth, and she was a little startled in her heart, she was actually a good tea maker.She got up and picked up the book she had just read, and the "Tea Classic" came into her eyes impressively. It turned out to be the writing of Lu Yu, the holy tea of ​​the Tang Dynasty.Sighing softly, he suddenly remembered the past in his mind. I was in a trance, accompanied by the slight sound of footsteps, Xiaoling came in and said: "Madam, the prince has already left the hall." I got up, handed the book to her and said: "Whether it is making tea or making tea, as long as you drink tea together People's taste is good." She was stunned, but immediately understood what I meant, her face beamed with joy, and she bowed and said, "Thank you, Ma'am, for your reminder." I nodded, glanced at the maid who was still awake and said : "When your spirit is not good, don't come to answer the call, answer the call in front of the emperor, you can't tolerate mistakes." After finishing speaking, he stepped forward. Thirteen walked slowly, and I stepped up to catch up with him, walking side by side. The two of them were silent for a while, and he said: "What are you waiting for me?" I was slightly startled, and turned my head to glance at him, and he said again: "The little court lady serving tea in front of the imperial court, when she saw me coming out of the palace gate, she turned around and left, and then you Just follow, didn't you wait for me." I sighed, "Is there nothing wrong with that Landong?" Thirteen stopped, frowned slightly and said, "Why do you ask that?" I thought for a while and said, "Landong changed her name to 'Lv Lanxi' before entering the palace. She has learned kung fu and medical skills from her teachers. She is very clever, and she has a deep research on the mutual generation and restraint of medicine and food, and the imperial physicians in the palace may not be better than her in this respect." Thirteen pondered for a while and said: "Do you suspect that she did something wrong with the Queen's illness last time, or that it was because of her that the Queen had that illness." I shook my head and said, "I'm not sure about anything, maybe The empress is really sick, but when the imperial physician treated her, she did something wrong, which made the empress' illness worse." Thirteen listened to my words, fell into deep thought, and said after a while, "Brother Huang, don't you know?" I sighed and said, "This time it's about Fuhui's life, I'm not sure about it, how can I tell him, besides, I saw Lu Lanxi in front of Ba Ye's mansion twice, but I don't know if she has anything to do with Ba Ye." Hearing this, Thirteen shook his head and said with a smile, "She won't be from Myna's house, you don't have to worry about that." I stared at him and asked, "How can you be so sure." He sighed, "Myna is already Over the past few years, even those who had some thoughts at the time would not take any action after seeing the situation in the Ruzhen court. In addition, there are some things that you don't need to know." After thinking for a while silently, he nodded and felt that what he said was absolutely right. But Thirteen raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Even if nothing can be found out, she can no longer stay in Kunning Palace. Besides, it is very special for a young woman to be interested in kung fu and medical skills." He paused After a while, he continued: "But this time, after all, she has made meritorious service, so it is necessary to give her some kindness. She has been in the palace for a while, and she misses Ama and Erniang after all." I was silent for a while, raised my head and said: "You doubt her identity." Thirteen said solemnly: "If there is really something wrong with her, she will pay the price for Fu Hui's death."
