Chapter 338: Trouble

The imperial doctor rushed over with the medicine box on his back, and in such a cold weather, a thin layer of sweat actually appeared on his wrinkled forehead, which showed the hurry when he came.

"I've seen the emperor, I've seen Zhen Zhaoyi!"

The old lady was saluting in fear and respectfully, but the emperor in a rage scolded: "When is it, why don't you go and see the Nine Emperors quickly! If you delay any longer, if the Nine Emperors have anything wrong, I will never spare you!"

The old lady doctor was angrily reprimanded for no reason, but she didn't even dare to raise her head, and hurriedly got up to see Liu Qi. Even though he was skilled in medicine and well-informed, he was still taken aback when he saw Liu Qi's miserable appearance on the bed.

Zhen Zhaoyi, who was originally holding her son and crying, was invited aside, she pulled the handkerchief in her hand with tears rippling, and the emperor reached over and quietly held her cold and trembling fingertips, and comforted in a deep voice: "Ah Qi will be fine!"

"Really?" Zhen Zhaoyi raised her eyes to look at him sadly, and the panic and helplessness in her eyes made her a little more weak.

She whispered: "Yes, Ah Qi will be fine, nothing will be fine! I remember that before he was born, it had rained for more than 40 days, and the emperor and the ministers were worried that the rain would not stop, but they were afraid that the crops in the fields would rot. But on the day he was born, the sky finally cleared, and there was even a rainbow hanging above my Lingxiao Pavilion.

The emperor was overjoyed and personally named his little doll who had just been born, saying that he was born to carry the expectations of the people of the world....." Speaking of this, she showed a sad smile and whispered: "Ah Qi was born with blessings, so he will never have an accident!"

The emperor listened silently, and his gloomy eyes moved to Liu Qi's body on the bed. The old lady had already washed the blood stains from his face with hot water, revealing his true face. But seeing that his originally pink and tender little face was lifeless at the moment, the emperor's eyes couldn't help flashing with distress and bitter hatred.

Looking up at the deep hall, I saw that the golden glazed tiles were covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost, which reflected a brilliant and gorgeous luster in the light of the moonlight like mist. It's a pity that no matter how gorgeous it is, it is cold and biting after all.

The singing and dancing at the night banquet were like clouds, and the staggered plans were staggered, and under the seemingly cheerful and peaceful atmosphere, it was already an undercurrent. Many well-informed people have learned from various sources that the Nine Emperor Princes were accidentally injured and their lives are in danger.

Liu Hui only frowned when he learned of this, and asked the eunuch who came to report the news to step back. He and Liu Qi have not met a few times, and he has the impression that Liu Qi is just a milk doll held in the arms of the palace people.

It's just that when he was chatting with Liu Shou, he once heard a sentence that said that the prince back then was afraid that he would not be favored by the current Nine Emperor Princes. Today, this living baby was seriously injured again, and I don't know how many unlucky people in the harem want to fall to the ground for this matter.

Hua Lianyue's heart was full of gloom, she drank the osmanthus drink in front of her in one gulp, and the cold liquid slid into her throat, soothing her somewhat restless mood at the moment. She quietly raised her eyes to look at the opposite side, even though she was separated by the tent, she could vaguely see many young women with fragrant clothes and sideburns.

They smile like flowers, they have bright eyes, they look forward to brilliance, they are delicate and lovely...... They are deep-minded, they fight openly and secretly, and they will seize every opportunity and use everyone who can be used.

Withdrawing the light of her eyes without moving, Hua Lianyue whispered in Liu Hui's ear: "I'm afraid there will be trouble again!"

Liu Hui looked at her with uncertain eyes, she hooked her lips and smiled bitterly, and explained in a voice: "Before I met you in the Imperial Garden, I had been alone with Liu Qi. He had an accident after he was separated from me, and I'm not sure if it was for you and me. ”

Liu Hui drank a few glasses of wine, and was feeling hot all over, but when he heard the words, he seemed to be poured down by a basin of ice and snow, and a penetrating cold instantly dispelled the warmth in his heart.

Slowly, he hooked the corners of his lips and pulled out a touch of ruthlessness, lowered his arm to hold Hua Lianyue's slender fingertips, and he whispered: "You don't have to be afraid, no matter who set up this game, I will make him regret that he shouldn't have hit us with his idea." ”

The fierce light in his eyes made Hua Lianyue's heart throb, "Lord, don't be impatient!" Hua Lianyue was still smiling like a flower, she stretched out her hand, sorted out the golden crown on his head for him, and whispered: "This is my guess, or just a coincidence, I am too careful! If it is really calculated, we are not toothless tigers, unaccompanied lone wolves." If they want to bite a piece of our flesh, they will definitely make them burst their teeth!"

Her cold eyes and ridiculous words made Liu Hui recover from his anxiety. He looked indifferently at the graceful writhing dancers, but his hands were quietly clasped with hers.

Because the emperor never appeared, the night banquet ended early after all, and the families of the nobles and nobles left with the fragrance of wine.

The moonlight was like frost, illuminating the palace masters who came down from the banquet and went straight to Lingxiao Pavilion. The palace maid helped the queen mother get out of the warm sedan chair, but she saw that the lights in front of the palace were bright, and the dazzling blood water splashed from the basin under the wall made her knees weak.

The queen, who was half a step behind, hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and comforted her in a low voice: "The road is slippery in the dark this day, the queen mother must be careful." ”

"How can this be? How can this be......" The Queen Mother's heart ached, she stomped her feet anxiously, and entered the Lingxiao Pavilion without thinking.

The hall was as quiet as water, and several red candles the thickness of a baby's arm were burning, and the accumulated candle tears gathered under the candlestick were like coagulated blood clots. The emperor sat alone on the golden chair of the dragon, his eyes gloomy and unpredictable. The powder kiln teacup in his hand had already dissipated the last trace of heat, but he didn't take a sip.

The palace eunuchs who came in and out didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of touching the emperor's mold. met the queen mother and queen who came in a hurry, and knelt down and saluted.

"Why are you here, has the family banquet been dispersed?" The emperor woke up as if from a dream, put down the tea cup in his hand and greeted him.

The queen hurriedly explained: "The family banquet has been dispersed, and the queen mother is not worried about the injury of the Nine Emperor Princes, so she must come and take a look." ”

The Queen Mother had already asked in a loud voice: "What happened to Ah Qi?"

Liu Qi had already bandaged it properly, the old lady boiled the medicine, and Zhen Zhaoyi and Baishuang held him and fed him spoonful by spoonful. It's just that Liu Qi, who was in a coma, still clenched his teeth, and most of the medicinal juice poured into it flowed out along the corners of his mouth, which made Zhen Zhaoyi sweat profusely.

Seeing that a bowl of medicine had reached the bottom, Liu Qi didn't drink much, Zhen Zhaoyi was angry, and a flower-wearing butterfly in his sideburns trembled slightly. Seeing her red eyes, she shouted sharply: "Bring another bowl, the fire on the stove is not allowed to stop, boil ten pairs of eight pairs, and pour a bowl for the official." ”

After such a toss, Liu Qi drank a bowl of medicine, but he was afraid that he had drunk seven or eight bowls of clothes and bedding on his body, so he tossed and changed his clothes and quilts. Fortunately, in addition to the earth dragon in the warm pavilion, there is also a charcoal basin, and the heating is full of fear, but I am not afraid of the wind chill.

Zhen Zhaoyi leaned on the edge of the bed and looked intently at the little body trapped in the futon. Her lips trembled slightly, and a few strands of hair broke free from their restraints and swayed gently in front of her forehead. There was deep fear hidden in his red eyes.

The old lady doctor was closing her eyes to check Liu Qi's pulse, Zhen Zhaoyi endured and endured, and finally saw the old lady doctor open her eyes, and immediately asked sharply: "The Nine Emperor Princes have already drunk the medicine, why haven't they woken up yet?"

The old lady didn't dare to slack off, so she had to say: "With all due respect, the Nine Emperors are seriously injured, and although the medicine has stopped the bleeding, I can't say when I will wake up." ”

"Nonsense, it's all nonsense!" Probably too sad, Zhen Zhaoyi's originally sharp voice was actually a little hoarse like fire, she still shouted regardless of it: "This recipe doesn't work, you will change the recipe for the palace, in short, you must keep the Nine Emperors safe and sound, otherwise the palace will let you be buried with the whole house." ”

"Zhen Zhaoyi, don't be too anxious!" The queen who accompanied the queen mother in happened to hear her reprimand, her eyes suddenly sank, as if she was carrying autumn frost, revealing a trace of coolness, but her mouth comforted: "The Nine Emperors will naturally be safe." ”

Zhen Zhaoyi seemed to come back to her senses, busy and blessed, and could be regarded as saluting the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother didn't like her arrogance, but she didn't pay attention to it at the moment, but came directly to Liu Qi's bedside, and when she saw his dying appearance, she inevitably choked with her heart.

The queen also asked the old lady a few words, and of course she did not forget to comfort Zhen Zhaoyi, who was lost and depressed. It's just that Zhen Zhaoyi didn't appreciate it, and she even looked at the queen with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Bai Shuang said that he once saw the three masters and servants around the deer park, and he didn't look like the concubines in the palace. Because of the distance, Bai Shuang didn't see their appearance clearly, but he felt extremely unfamiliar, and he must not have entered the palace often.

At that time, the two maids were also wiping their palms with the snow on the ground. Such a rude gesture made Baishuang couldn't help but take a few more looks. But she was in a hurry to find Liu Qi and didn't stay long, and then she found the injured Liu Qi in the deer park.

After listening to Bai Shuang's narration, Zhen Zhaoyi's heart almost determined that the three strangely located masters and servants were the murderers who killed Liu Qi. It's a pity that Baishuang didn't see the appearance of the people clearly, but the emperor has sent someone to secretly investigate.

At that time, in addition to the large number of guests in the imperial garden, there were also many palace people who came in and out to serve. Even if Bai Shuang didn't see the appearance of the three of them clearly, he would naturally see it secretly.

Just over an hour has passed, but no accurate news has come. So in Zhen Zhaoyi's eyes, everyone looks like a murderer who is jealous of her favor and secretly harms her son.

Zhen Zhaoyi's undisguised suspicions, how could the queen not understand in her heart. However, the Nine Emperor Princes suffered, and her face was anxious, but her heart was as happy as drinking ice dew on a summer day. It was only because the emperor and the queen mother were in front of him that he had to restrain a little.

In the Lingxiao Pavilion, everyone circled around Liu Qi, but the low-level concubines who stood outside the hall and waited for the news were complaining. The snow at night became more and more cold and biting, and as they stood for a long time, the snow water would slowly soak the thick soles of their shoes, and the damp cold air would slowly climb up their bodies like poisonous snakes along the soles of their feet.

Even though they all felt uncomfortably tight, none of them dared to leave first. In fact, most of them are gloating in their hearts, but no one dares to show it in front of them.

After waiting in the snow for half an hour, when everyone was shivering from the cold, they saw Manager Li hurrying over with two strange palace maids......

Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue did not leave the palace, and they did not go to Lingxiao Pavilion to join in the fun, but went to the small plum garden. In the moonlight, the red plums are like clusters of flames burning in the ice and snow, adding a few splashes of color to this cold and clean day.

The bustle and bustle of the family banquet still seem to be echoing in the ears, and the emptiness and tranquility in front of you are particularly precious.

Hua Liyue was playfully trampling in the snow, and she couldn't help but giggle when she heard the "creaking" sound under her feet. Liu Hui, who was guarding behind her, heard her laugh and couldn't help but laugh along.

Liu Shou, who followed with a dead face, shook his head secretly, and saw a lot of beauties enjoying the plum blossoms under the moon, and he was interested in painting with ink, or chanting poems to the moon, or caressing the piano, or dancing...... But it's rare to see such an enthusiastic snow play, it's really a bad scenery.

Shaking his head, he reached out and grabbed a plum branch with lush foliage, cleared his throat, and chanted: "Zhongfang shook off the solitary beauty, and occupied the small garden." The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon. The frost bird wants to steal the eye first, and the pink butterfly knows how to break the soul.

Fortunately, there is a slight groan, and there is no need for a sandalwood board to be a gold honor......"

Liu Shou was rarely elegant, and he was shaking his head proudly, when a white shadow came to him, and it instantly bloomed on his face. A few cold snow beads splashed into his gaping mouth.

"Phew!" He bent over in embarrassment and spit out the snow foam in his mouth, and heard Hua Lianyue laugh and said: "After drinking wine and eating meat, who wants to listen to your sour poems, let's have a snowball fight!"

Liu Shou slapped the remnant snow on his face indiscriminately, and said to Liu Hui angrily: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, she bullied me....." Before the words fell, another ball of snow flew over, and Hua Lianyue couldn't help laughing and said: "Ah Shou, Ah Shou, I still want to sue your second brother! Don't you know that these two clouds of snow are from your second brother's handwriting." ”

Her unabashed hearty laughter was heard far and wide in the quiet night......

"Phew! It's a villain to take advantage of people's unpreparedness. Liu Shou, who suffered a dark loss again, was not in a hurry to shoot the snow, and first pinched the snow ball and used it as a weapon in his hand.

The sound of breaking the air sounded again, Liu Shou sensitively dodged to the side, and another snowball grazed his ears and smashed on the big tree on the side. Liu Shou, who finally escaped, immediately raised his hand unceremoniously and threw the porcelain snowball that had been pinched in the direction of Liu Hui.

The snowball hit the hem of Liu Hui's robe, although it was not satisfactory, it was a small revenge. Liu Shou didn't have time to be complacent, but saw several snowballs flying over him.

It turned out that Hua Lianyue and Xiaoxiao joined unceremoniously, and Qingying was just smiling on the sidelines, but she was quickly infected by the cheerful atmosphere in front of her, so she rolled up her sleeves and joined the battle.

Of course, four against one, Liu Shou naturally has no chance of winning. Especially since he can't do anything to Hua Lianyue, he naturally has to be beaten obediently.

Although it was a bit miserable to be besieged, Liu Shou hadn't laughed so wantonly for a long time. This snowy night, which was originally the most ordinary, left an indelible memory in his heart.

"I've seen the virtuous prince, I've seen the five princes!" After all, there were still uninvited guests who interrupted their laughter.

"Manager Li?" Liu Hui's smile between his eyebrows had not yet dissipated, and his brows had already frowned slightly. He patted the remnant snow on his hand and asked casually, "You are not waiting by your father's side, why are you running here?"

Although Mr. Li brought more than a dozen eunuchs, his face was still as respectful as before. He only bent down and said softly: "It was the emperor who specially ordered the servants to come and invite Mrs. Xianwang to ask Lingxiao Pavilion to ask for a question!"
