Chapter 57 Chapter Twenty-Four

In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer. After these few months, I worked hard to adjust my mentality. Although my heart was still uncomfortable, I had calmed down on the surface.All day long, I just stayed in the Zhenxi Pavilion and watched Juxiang instruct the little palace lady to plant some flowers and plants, and planted turf on all the ground in the pavilion except the road.Therefore, now there are grass on the ground in the pavilion, flowers on the grass, trees on the flowers, the green grass is like a rug, and the flowers are blooming among the green leaves and branches. Seeing me like this, Yinzhen's brows that had been frowning all the time relaxed a lot, only occasionally when he lost his mind, would he purse his thin lips tightly and his eyes contained anger.At this time, although I seemed calm, I was actually full of sadness and inexplicable heartache.

Sitting on the reclining chair, I smiled and watched Ju Xiang holding Hong Han on the swing and slowly swinging back and forth. Hong Han held the rope of the swing with one hand and pushed Ju Xiang with the other: "Go down, you go down." Ju Xiang smiled at me He smiled and said, "Ma'am, little elder brother wants to sit on it by himself." I nodded with a smile, Ju Xiang looked slightly surprised, took another look at me, got down and stood beside the swing and slowly swayed.Qiaohui, who was standing beside her, said worriedly: "Miss, my little elder brother is too young, what should I do if I fell?" Bitter in his heart, he said: "It hurts, I will know next time." Let Honghan learn to be strong , independence, and a little older, he has to learn to think about what he should do and what he shouldn't do. This has always been something I've been thinking about these days.

Hearing this, Qiaohui was taken aback, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything, just sighed lightly.After all, Hong Han is still young, he can't sit still, and he doesn't know how to be afraid.After sitting for a while, she twisted her body left and right, and Juxiang looked at him worriedly, and then at me. After a while, Hong Han fell to the ground with a sound of 'Wow', Ju Xiang exclaimed and ran over to pick him up.I secretly let out a breath, and said: "It would be nice to let him get up by himself, let him learn where to fall and where to stand up again." Qiaohui stood silently for a while, walked over to take Honghan, and said: "Miss, although the servant girl I don't understand the truth, but children are just children, you see, their foreheads are red."

I feel depressed, Zeng Jing has been in the garden for half a year, and whenever Yinzhen is busy, let him follow him, and let him witness with his own eyes how the "greedy, lewd, flattering" people in his writings manage politics, whether It was exactly as he said. Although the eunuchs and maids of Zhenxi Pavilion were cautious in their words, the news still got in.People in and out of the garden secretly discussed how the emperor would deal with Zeng Jing all day long. Some thought that he would be executed with the death penalty and his family, and some thought that since the emperor took great pains to let him enter the palace, there must be some Other arrangements, in short, you can say anything.Xu Xu secretly gave orders, which spread wildly in the garden for a long time, but Gao Wuyong never restrained everyone.

Although I knew what was going on, my heart was still heavy.Fourteen is right, although coercion was not done by Mingjun, but coercion is indeed the most effective method. But just a few days ago, Yinzhen made a decision that everyone couldn't believe.And issued an edict, "Although Zeng Jing's fault is great, it is really excusable." ''Zeng Jing's wild and rebellious words are limited to slander and my bow. There is no actual fact of rebellion, and there are no accomplices. The person who jumped into the beam and rebelled against his fate, if he can resign himself to his life and surrender in fear of sin, he still invites forgiveness Dian, has it ever been quiet and incapable of lending one of them to die? '.Zeng Jing was acquitted and released. As a result, Zeng Jing was so grateful that she shouted "the emperor is holy", kowtowed and thanked her, and offered to compile a book of what she saw and the edict to praise the emperor.

There was a burst of 'giggle' laughter, and I came back to my senses leisurely, only to find that Honghan had already stopped crying and was having fun with Qiaohui.I pursed my lips and smiled, leaned back, closed my eyes, and indulged in my own thoughts again. Zeng Jing is innocent, so Lu Liuliang's book is disrespectful.The next decision Yinzhen had to make was probably burning books and whipping corpses. Thinking of this, he felt chills in his heart. "Ma'am, what's the matter with you?" Fu Ya's concerned voice came from my ear, and I opened my eyes suddenly. There was a trace of emotion, and Fu Ya looked at me worriedly.

I got up and told Ju Xiang to take two chairs, Fu Ya smiled calmly and said, "I haven't seen Hong Han for a long time, I want to take him out for a walk." People, walked out slowly. Looking at Hongli who was still standing there, he smiled and said, "Aren't you going to stand and talk?" The corners of his mouth lightly raised, and he said lightly, "Can you tell me what you worry about?" The meaning in the words, seeing my confused expression, he was silent for a while, looked at me and said: "A few days ago, Uncle Thirteen said to Ama that you are in a very similar state to the emperor when he was alive, let Ama pay attention A few. Ama said that he had already noticed it, but according to your temperament, others can't comfort you, you can only figure it out yourself."

I smiled bitterly. In front of him, I was as simple as a blank sheet of paper. He knew that only by thinking it through myself could he be relieved.Suppress the pain in your heart and keep silent. Although you understand my temperament, how can I figure this out. He stared at me and said: "If you find it difficult to speak out, then I will go to Huang Ama and tell him that your panic and fear are all because you are from another dynasty three hundred years later." I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect him to force me with this. Although I knew he had good intentions, I was still angry.

After staring at him coldly for a while, he said, "Ama, you didn't handle Zeng Jing's matter calmly enough." He shook his head lightly, glanced at me, then stared at the swing in front of him and said, "I also I don’t think that making all the slander public will clarify the facts and extinguish the rumors, and I’m afraid that people will only remember the rumors, but not the facts.” After finishing speaking, he turned his head, frowned slightly, and said: "Although this matter has a great impact, there will be nothing during Ama's reign. It will only affect Ama's fame behind her. You won't worry about it Yes, you only pay attention to the real things, what are you worried about?"

I pondered for a while, then asked dumbly: "If you knew in your heart that the people around you were about to die, what would you do?" He was startled, stood up 'teng', stood in front of me and stared at me with a look of shock and disbelief "Ama, why..." I was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's not you, Ama." His expression relaxed, and he exhaled lightly, but only in an instant, his expression changed again, and he asked in a deep voice: "Yes?" Uncle Thirteen?" I nodded, and the tears in the corners of my eyes gurgled down. Hongli looked shocked and murmured: "How is it possible? How can it be possible to send an imperial physician to the palace to follow up on the examination?"

I felt uncomfortable in my heart, but I couldn't cry, I just silently let the tears fall wantonly.Hongli clenched his fists tightly, still staring at me and asked in a cold voice: "How did he die?" I said dumbly: "Historical records record overwork." Hongli was silent for a while, then turned around and staggered towards the gate of the courtyard. After two steps, he didn't turn around, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't let Ama know about this." After speaking, he went straight out. I sat blankly for a long time, until I stopped crying and the tears dried on my face before getting up and entering the room. My heart was sad, after wiping my face with the handkerchief, I leaned against the window, silently watching the pink lotus in the small pond outside the window, motionless.I don't know how long it has passed, and my legs are a little numb.He sighed secretly in his heart, smiled wryly to himself, and was about to turn around when there were already two hands around his waist. I didn't move, put my hands on his hands, leaned my head back, rubbed against his face, and asked softly: "Are you done?" He rubbed his lips against my ears, his voice slightly tired : "I'm done, this whole yard was arranged by you, I haven't seen enough yet." My ears were itchy, I shrugged my shoulders lightly, moved away a little, and said with a smile on my lips: "Of course I haven't seen enough, every plant and tree contains my hard work, look, the lotus in the pond is blooming How wonderful." He tightened his arms and whispered in my ear: "It is very beautiful, but it is not as beautiful as you." My heart warmed, he hadn't spoken so easily in half a year.I patted his hand, pretending to be reproachful and said: "Not serious." He chuckled hoarsely, resting his chin on my shoulder, standing silently. The two stood quietly for a while, and he suddenly said: "This courtyard is full of vitality, and it makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally. Every time I come back, I want to stay here and never go out again." I was silent for a while, and laughed softly: " Do you know why I planted some lotus in the pond." He gently kissed the side of my cheek, and said slowly: "I have neglected you for a while." I shook my head, turned around and stood face to face with him, stared at him, the two of them looked at each other for a while, I slowly leaned into his arms, suppressed the sadness in my heart, and said softly: "It's not because the lotus is beautiful, but because the lotus seeds are beautiful." The vitality is amazing. A mature lotus seed, no matter it is committed to the water, sand dunes, or buried in the mud under the rock; environment, it will take root.” He lowered his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were extremely gentle. I was a little dazed for a while, and looked at him blankly. He suddenly kissed my lips lightly, and said with a smile, "It's just like our relationship." My eyes became hot, I stretched out my hand to caress his face, and said with a wry smile: "Yinzhen, promise me one thing." He suppressed his smile, frowned and asked, "Ruoxi, why is there such an expression on his face? What do I do?" I smiled slightly, stroked his forehead, and murmured, "I want to walk in front of you, because I can't try to lose your taste again, you promise me, don't walk in front of me." He took my hand, stared at me for a long time, his eyes were getting more and more painful, but he didn't say a word, he bent down and picked me up, walked to the side of the couch, and put me down gently: "Ruoxi, I'm too busy these days, I don't have time Stay with you, don't think about it in the future. Didn't you just say that lotus seeds have strong vitality, and I also said that this is like our relationship, and we will last forever." If I didn't know the ending, I would be extremely moved when I heard this, but now, I feel even more sad and uncomfortable.He sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness on his face. Seeing his expression, I felt a pain in my heart, bit my lower lip tightly, and secretly resented myself, why I couldn't bear it alone, why should I transfer the pain to him , Cherish the past few years, isn't it a better choice?In the past few months, you haven't done a good job, so bury everything in your heart. I took a deep breath, trying to calm down as soon as possible, but the tears could not stop, so I smiled and said to him: "We will be together for a long time, forever. I feel a little depressed these days, maybe It's menopause, don't worry about it." He was startled, and stared at me suspiciously: "What period?" I panicked, and said with a prevaricated chuckle, "It's the period when people are middle-aged, looking for troubles all day long, and looking for troubles for themselves." He heard Yan shook his head lightly, smiled helplessly for a while, sat down beside me, propped his chin with his hand, and said softly: "You have too many weird thoughts in your head, come on, sleep for a while, when you wake up , let’s go boating in Fuhai.” Thinking about the big boats parked by Fuhai, I wiped my face, glanced at him with a smile and said: "I still don't want to go, once I go, I have to hug each other, the slaves are waiting in groups, and I have to lead a dozen or so eunuchs , with so many dozens of people following, I lost all interest." Funny and helpless, he lightly scratched my nose, and said with a smile: "I have already ordered Gao Wuyong to build a boat. When we reach the center, put down the boat and let us paddle by ourselves." The water in Fuhai Lake is extremely deep. For small boats, there will be a few people on the big boats who are always watching the boat to avoid accidents. I pouted and said, "That's not being stared at by people." He nodded and said, "Yes." Immediately afterwards, he looked at me with an ambiguous smile: "There is a place where people will never be stared at." My face became hot and I shoved him. He smiled hoarsely and embraced me: "Only here will not be stared at." After speaking, he lightly lipped my earlobe and slowly unbuttoned me. . "Your Majesty, my servant Gao Wuyong has something important to report." Gao Wuyong's low voice suddenly came from outside the room, I hurriedly pushed him away, at this time, Gao Wuyong came over, something must have happened, he sighed insignificantly He took a deep breath, stood up, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" Gao Wuyong paused outside the door, and his voice was slightly higher: "Prince Yi's side Fujin was assassinated and was seriously injured. When the servant came, he had already informed the imperial physician to go to Jiaohui Garden." I was shocked in my heart, and quickly asked: "Ci Fujin, which one?" Outside Gao Wuyong replied: "Master Zhang's adopted daughter, Zhang Huizhi." My mind went blank for a moment, and I slumped on the couch limply. He got up, dressed slowly, his face was cold, but his eyes were full of pain.I murmured: "How is it possible, she is just a weak woman, how could anyone attack her." He glanced at me and said in a low voice: "The thirteenth brother hasn't left the garden yet." I hurriedly got up and put on my clothes: "Lead me with you." He nodded, held my hand tightly, and walked quickly to go outside.
