Chapter 563: Affection and Etiquette
When Zhao Cheng happened in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, disposed of many palace people, and carried out many tortures. The number of people implicated this time was so large that they had never been seen before, and everyone trembled with fear, and they could hear the screams of the tortured people almost when they closed their eyes.
Compared to the fear of other palaces, Kunning Palace was full of joy. Ma Xiuying not only kept everyone safe, but also got better and better. Many people say that this is because God is grateful for the Queen's mercy, so he blessed her to recover physically.
Xunying and Dao Yan, who knew the truth, would secretly feel sad when no one was around, looking at Ma Xiuying's busy and fulfilling figure, silently praying that she could always maintain this happy state and live.
But Ma Xiuying is already terminally ill, so although she has adjusted her mentality and has Dao Yan's careful care, she still occasionally coughs and coughs up blood, but not as often as before.
Every time Zhu Yuanzhang heard about Ma Xiuying's hemoptysis, he would scold all the people who took care of Ma Xiuying.
Ma Xiuying persuaded him, "The concubine's illness is all old, and they have tried their best, so don't blame them anymore." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered, and he understood in his heart that Ma Xiuying already knew the fact that his time was short, even if he was the emperor, he had things that he could not control, and said gloomily: "Don't think about it, it will get better." ”
Ma Xiuying smiled faintly, noncommittal to this insincere comfort, and instead said: "The concubine body has no energy to take care of the emperor now, please take care of the dragon body yourself." Anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, sorrows the lungs, thoughts hurt the spleen, fear hurts the kidneys, the concubine body is now deeply experienced, so the emperor must not be angry at every turn, those untouchables are not worth your own body to be angry. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Ma Xiuying was trying to persuade him not to lose his temper with the palace people in disguise. Ma Xiuying used to persuade him in this way, and sometimes he felt very annoyed after listening to it too much, but he didn't hear Ma Xiuying's advice in the past two years, and he felt kind of when he listened to it once in a while. He chuckled and said, "Listen to you, I will lose my temper less in the future." ”
Looking at the man in front of her, Ma Xiuying sincerely hoped that he would be well. Although she and Zhu Yuanzhang are not in love, their family affection is still there, and the two have been with each other for decades and have long become each other's relatives. For loved ones, always have more tolerance and blessings. She tried to forget the past events that made Ma Xiuying sad and sad, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang was also getting old, she couldn't help but say sincerely: "The concubine wishes that the emperor's dragon body will always be healthy and live a long life." ”
Feeling Ma Xiuying's true feelings, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly moved, Ma Xiuying was still worried about him all the time, he held Ma Xiuying's hand emotionally, "Queen, you also have to take care of your body, I can't live without you." ”
Ma Xiuying withdrew her hand abruptly and lowered her head weakly, she didn't expect that a word of care would make Zhu Yuanzhang have such a big reaction, but her heart has now been entrusted to another person, and she doesn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to touch her again. In order not to make Zhu Yuanzhang suspicious, she covered her mouth and coughed.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shouted nervously: "Quickly find Master Daoyan." ”
Daoyan didn't find anything abnormal, but when he looked up, he saw Ma Xiuying winking at him, so he said quietly: "The queen mother may be tired and needs to rest." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then you have a good rest, I will come to see you later." ”
After sending Zhu Yuanzhang away, Ma Xiuying pulled Dao Yan to sit down and leaned on his shoulder.
Dao Yan's body suddenly stiffened as iron, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.
Ma Xiuying said softly: "Don't be nervous, I won't do anything, and I won't let you do anything, I just want to lean on quietly." ”
Dao Yan tried to relax her muscles and make her more comfortable.
Ma Xiuying relied on Daoyan in this way to recall the past in Suzhou. At that time, Dao Yan was really a nerd, as if he let her and rely on her for everything, and never said a word out loud to her. No, this nerd also bullied her, threatened her with a dog hole to deliver food, and had to compete with her so that she was punished by Da Zhang's kneeling...... Hmph, this villain has a lot of eyes......
When Xun Ying entered the house, he saw Ma Xiuying sleeping peacefully by Dao Yan, with a smile on her lips. She was slightly taken aback, and immediately pretended not to see it, and shrank to the door to guard. She knew that Ma Xiuying and Dao Yan had never crossed over, but this scene could not be seen by others.
Dao Yan didn't dare to move, and the even breathing from his shoulders showed that Ma Xiuying was asleep. His heart gradually changed from panic at the beginning to calm, but Ma Xiuying's breathing was like a naughty child, always gently tugging at his heartstrings when he wanted to meditate, leaving him at a loss and could only recite the scriptures silently.
Bright sunlight shone in through the window, covering Dao Yan and Ma Xiuying's bodies, emitting a faint golden light, and Xun Ying felt that this scene was surprisingly harmonious. With tears in her eyes, two ill-fated people could only snuggle up to each other in this small world. I hope that in the next life, the master will no longer be confined to this cage.
An hour later, Ma Xiuying woke up slowly, she hadn't slept so calmly and comfortably for a long time, and the feeling of happiness made her reluctant to leave Daoyan's shoulder, but some things could only be affectionate and polite, so she sniffed the good smell of sandalwood deeply, and raised her head reluctantly.
Sensing that Ma Xiuying was sniffing on him, Dao Yan's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, and he didn't dare to move anymore, like a clay wood carving.
Ma Xiuying opened her eyes and saw Xun Ying squatting boredly at the door to draw circles, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Go and get a basin of water." ”
"Master, are you awake?" Xun Yingteng jumped up, and the long squatting position made her legs numb, and she almost fell.
"Can't you be careful?" Ma Xiuying was angry and funny, when will Xunying's frizzy personality be changed, if she is gone, who will take care of Xunying.
Xun Ying immediately changed the subject, "Master, Master Dao Yan has been in this position for more than an hour, please let him rest." ”
Ma Xiuying glanced at Dao Yan, Dao Yan's lips moved slightly, as if he was reciting the scriptures, and it was estimated that Dao Yan would not get up until he finished reciting the scriptures. She deliberately sneered: "Regardless of him, he is not allowed to rest until meal time." "Hmph, whoever made him dare to bully her before will make him uncomfortable for a while.
Xun Ying heard that Ma Xiuying's mouth was wrong, her eyes rolled, and she really ran away, so she didn't mix the affairs of these two people.
The resentful voice came into Dao Yan's ears, Dao Yan's mood was even more calm, he didn't understand how Ma Xiuying was fine before, how he woke up and lost his temper, but he didn't make Ma Xiuying angry just now. Where did he think that women are unreasonable animals, if they don't talk about reason, they can even turn over old accounts from decades ago and calculate them.
