Chapter 44 Chapter Eleven

He got up and sat on the side of the bed, supported Nala's body, took the decoction in Lan Dong's hand, and let her drink it slowly.The soup was obviously very bitter, she frowned slightly, and drank it all in one go.Passed the bowl to Lan Dong, picked up the candy on the tray, she took it, then gently put her down, still letting her lean on the cushion. She smiled and said, "Thank you sister. Alas, my body is getting worse every day. I fell ill twice within a year. If it wasn't for my sister last time, I'm afraid I would have passed away long ago." I held her hand Hand, shook his head and said: "Sister, don't say such frustrating words, last time it was just phlegm, it's not a serious illness."

She held me back, and sighed with a wry smile: "Xiaowen, I know you just want to live in peace, but I'm really gone. If this harem is bigger, the only person who can really make me feel at ease is you." "My heart tightened, she had something to say, but then my heart relaxed again, in my impression she should have passed away in the ninth year of Yongzheng: "My sister will be fine, don't think about it." She shook her head and said with a slight smile: "My body, I know in my heart, I'm afraid I won't last long. Although some of the concubines in the harem came out of the mansion, they spent a lot of time with the emperor. But none of them can bear such a big burden. Although Concubine Xi has a kind heart and is fair in dealing with things, she has too much Buddha-heartedness, so she might not be able to shock everyone, so there is no need to mention Concubine Qi and the others."

Hearing her sigh gently, my heart twitched for no reason: "I'm afraid I can't bear it. What my sister can do, I may not be able to do it." She can follow the Qing system and wholeheartedly draft for Yinzhen, Guarding the empty room without complaint or regret is a way of expressing love in this time and space, can I really do it?I can not do it. She stared at me for a while, then lowered her eyelids, and sighed softly: "How can I feel at ease?" I smiled helplessly: "Sister, rest at ease and recuperate, don't think so much." She raised her head, smiled softly and nodded: "It's my wishful thinking, sister don't blame me. According to my sister's temperament, how can I fight for this title." She paused for a moment, then continued: "I was just thinking about it. , only you in this palace can do things, and you can handle things fairly, because you love the emperor wholeheartedly, without any distracting thoughts. Although, when you first entered the palace, you were like Miss Ruoxi and didn't want to have any contact with us, But after these few years, you have slowly changed a little bit."

I smiled and said nothing, she patted my hand: "Don't talk about that, I made a shirt for Hong Han a few days ago, and I wanted to send it over in person, but I don't want to..." Her eyes were red, and she said : "Landong, bring it here." Lan Dong took it out from the cabinet and handed it over with both hands. I took it, and after a rough look, I found that the handwork was extremely delicate. I smiled and said: "I didn't expect my sister to be good at needlework." She looked at the clothes with soft eyes Wu Wu: "Before the emperor succeeded to the throne, the money and expenses in the mansion were strictly controlled, unlike other princes and Baylors, so the few empresses who came out of the mansion knew how to do needlework."

There was a slight coughing sound coming from the side, and the voice was suppressed as hard as possible. When she turned her head and saw that Lan Dong was already kneeling on the ground, "I beg your forgiveness, Lan Dong will step back." Her complexion was a little pale, her body seemed to be It was discomfort, so I stared at her: "If you are sick, come and take care of it." She raised her head slightly: "Your servant is guilty." At this moment, Nalashi waved her body to get her up, then turned to me and said, "She also caught a cold when she fell into the water at sixty. I wanted to let the girl rest for a few days, but she The decoction is very good at controlling the temperature, which makes her respond to illness, no wonder she."

Her face was calm, and she looked neither humble nor overbearing. At first glance, she really had the attitude of a young lady.I sighed in my heart, and I had an inexplicable feeling for her, so I couldn't help smiling and asked her: "Are you good at water?" She froze for a moment, then glanced at me: "Go back to your mother's words, Landong's water quality is average, not very good." Her words were clear, I suppressed my smile, and stared at her: "Did you notice at that time that sixty Why did brother fall into the water?" She glanced at Mrs. Nala and said: "That day, Elder brother has been lying on the railing to enjoy the fish. The servants and the Empress are chatting about some old things about the empress when she was in Prince Yong's mansion. For some reason, Elder brother will slip down."

Her face was pale, as if she was talking about something unrelated to me. I looked at her for a while and said: "It is reasonable to say that people will not sink to the bottom immediately after falling into the water." She was stunned, looked at me, and then lowered her eyelids : "Sixty elder brother did not sink to the bottom of the lake all at once. As soon as elder brother fell into the water, I immediately entered the water. I didn't want the water to be very cold. When I suddenly entered the water, my legs cramped. I supported my elder brother and swam to him. He, who knows that elder brother put his arms around my neck with one hand and grabbed my arm with the other, but I couldn't pull my hand out, we both sank together."

The two fell into the water at the same time, but it was a life-and-death situation. I was full of doubts: "But I heard that my elder brother was rescued alone and died." She raised her head and looked directly at me: "Yes, we sank into the water. At the bottom of the water, for some reason, elder brother let go, but I didn't have any strength." Nalashi sobbed again, I sighed secretly in my heart, wiped away the tears for her, and said apologetically, "I made you sad again." She smiled slightly, looked at Landong and said, "This girl was rescued When I came up, there was only one breath left. These days are also thanks to her, if she didn't know some medicine, my body wouldn't recover so quickly."

I was slightly taken aback, and Nalashi knew that my guess was wrong. I smiled at her: "Are you interested in pharmacology?" When I was a child, my servant saw E Niang's illness with her own eyes, so she determined to learn some medical skills so that she could always be by her side to take care of her." After hearing her words, I breathed a sigh of relief, I hope my worries are unnecessary, she is indeed just an ordinary court lady.Nala smiled at her: "Landong, go down." Landong's complexion warmed up, she smiled and bowed to give her a blessing, and retreated lightly.

Judging from the situation, Nalashi loves Landong very much.Nala moved her body inward and said: "Xiaowen, if sister is really gone one day, let Lan Dong go back to Yuanmingyuan with you, this girl looks cold on the outside, but she has a very good heart. " I took a deep breath, not knowing how to refuse her.But after thinking about it, in three years' time, she should also leave the palace.In addition, if Thirteen finds out that there is something wrong with her, I'm afraid she won't be able to stay in the palace for long, so I caressed her arm and said: "My sister always said these things today, you will get better, don't worry too much." Too worried."

Seeing that she looked a little tired, I took off the cushion behind her, pulled the quilt for her, got up and said: "Take a good rest, you will be fine. I'm leaving now, and I will come to see you some other day." She He stretched out his hand and held mine: "Your Majesty, you need to pay more attention." I nodded, turned and walked out. After stepping out of the gate of Kunning Palace, when he looked up, he saw Lan Dong standing by the side of the road.Startled in her heart, she immediately understood what she meant, she should have sensed her doubts about her, she is indeed an extremely intelligent woman. She bowed to salute, got up and said: "I want to talk to my mother." I smiled and nodded, and she looked around and said: "I don't think this is a place for conversation." I still smiled and said: "Walk down while walking .” She took a step behind me and followed me. We walked for a while, she looked straight ahead, and suddenly chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, don't you want to know what the servant girl was talking about with the Empress Dowager?" They wondered why Liu Shi fell into the water, but they ignored this question. They must have been very focused on their topic at the time, so that neither of them knew why Liu Shi fell into the water.Judging from her tone, presumably their conversation should have something to do with me.I smiled lightly and said: "I've never been interested in what other people talk about. Miss Lan Dong wants to talk, so I'll listen. If she doesn't want to talk, I won't force it." She paused for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty told the servants about all the things she did when she just married the Emperor. At that time, the Empress Dowager was addicted to it and was very happy." I stopped and asked her: "Why did you tell me these things? "Her complexion was light: "Then, Empress Empress mentioned Miss Ruoxi, she used to be the wife and sister of Prince Lian, and she was the celebrity in front of the emperor at that time, she was a very unique woman." There was a hint of hatred in her eyes, which surprised me, and I watched her silently. After a while, she raised her head: "The empress said, I have never seen the emperor so caring about a woman, saying that she knows Yes, the little things between the emperor and Miss Ruoxi... Finally, I talked about your entry into the palace, how your words and deeds resembled Miss Ruoxi. Later, without the empress talking, thousands of people in the palace saw how the emperor To you, how to treat other concubines." I stared at her and said, "I said this for you, or for the empress." She was slightly startled, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, and I chuckled: "If it is for the empress, I am very pleased, and I will not be in vain for her." She loves you so much, even your future, she has arranged for you, but if it is for you, I really want to know why you said this to me. " Her expression suddenly changed: "After what?" I glanced at her, walked forward slowly, and said softly to the front: "She said that if she couldn't get sick, she would let you go back to the garden with me and stay by my side " She was silent for a while, then sighed lightly: "She is really very kind to me, what I said just now can be regarded as what I said for her, the empress is weak, and I am afraid that she will not be able to last for a few years." The two stopped, and she smiled lightly and said, "Does your lady suspect that this servant is not doing her best to save brother Liushi?" I shook my head and said, "I'm just asking, there's no other meaning." She put away her smile: "That may It’s because this servant is thinking too much. This incident has already happened. I don’t want to defend myself. It’s just that my wife has a noble status. Her words may determine the life and death of slaves. If there is no evidence, please be careful. I don’t want to implicate my family. suffer." I stared at her steadfastly: "Have you ever done it? I still know in my heart. Let's stop here today." I turned around and took two steps, and then turned back, only to find that she was staring at me in a daze. Seeing me suddenly turn around, she Evidently surprised: "What do you want me to tell you?" She looked at her silently for a while, and said: "Since the girl understands the principles of medicine, she should also understand the mutual generation and restraint of medicine and food. I believe that the empress's diet will not have similar problems." She pursed her lips slightly: "Brother told you, I know these things, right? He has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and rarely talks about other people's affairs in front of outsiders. But don't worry, empress, since I know this, of course I won't let these things It happened to the empress." After speaking, she bowed slightly, turned around and walked away quickly.
