Yan Wuxian looked at me with a smile and said lightly: "Miss Yan, there is no other monarch in the country." ”

“……”

"If he didn't know that His Majesty the Emperor was in a coma, and there was no possibility of being awake for the time being, Poor Dao wouldn't dare to save the Emperor Taishang casually, otherwise, the world would be in chaos. ”

“……”

Again, the world is in turmoil.

I've heard the word several times today, but this moment coming out of his mouth gives me an extraordinarily clear, even real, feeling.

That's right, a country can't be without a king for a day, but a country can't have two kings either.

This is also the reason why I didn't dare to hand over the prescription casually for so many years, even if I handed it over before, Pei Yuanhao didn't immediately let Yan Wu want to use it, naturally he also had scruples - this throne was not passed on to him by Pei Ji, but when the previous emperor was in a coma, he forced away the prince at that time, and even killed a prince, and the soldiers besieged the imperial city and snatched it, in fact, it is not justifiable.

That's why at that time, the students in the south would criticize him like that.

If he had woken up the Emperor Taishang in this situation, his own position would not be so secure.

So over the years, he has been letting Yan Wu want to save the life of the emperor, but the rest, he didn't do much, and he didn't even visit the doctor for medicine, and that's why.

And this time, because of Pei Yuanhao's own reasons, he was unconscious, the court situation was chaotic, and he had no desire to take matters into his own hands to save the emperor, although it was against the emperor's intentions, but it solved the dilemma in the court today, how much, it can also be said that he made up for it.

I thought about it for a while, and looked at Yan Wuxi: "Then, you have now woken up the emperor, what are you going to do next?"

Yan Wuxian looked at me and smiled faintly: "This, Miss Yan, the next step seems to be something you should consider." ”

“……”

"What the poor can do, everything has been done. ”

“……”

That's right, too.

No matter how powerful he is, he is just a Taoist priest who accompanies the Emperor Taishang to meditate and alchemy and help him continue his life with magic, and he can't participate in the affairs of the court and politics at all.

I asked, "How is the Emperor now?"

"The vitality is too depleted, and I still need to rest for a while. ”

"Well, I'll come back later. ”

He looked at me with some surprise: "Do you want to-"

I had already turned around to leave, and when I heard him ask, I said softly, "The matter has been settled, and it is time to go back and take a look." ”

He blinked, didn't say anything, just smiled softly.

I left the palace, when I walked out, the round-faced and round-eyed boy at the door also respectfully saluted me, I smiled and walked back, but the smile did not last long, just when I turned a corner, I saw the somewhat familiar, slender figure standing at the door of Yihua Palace.

As soon as he heard my footsteps, the figure immediately turned to look at me.

"Big-Miss!"

Ye Yunshuang.

Here she is again.

I frowned slightly, and stopped, but I couldn't stop her from hurriedly walking towards me, with a sincere and anxious look: "Miss, I, I-"

"What are you doing here?"

Facing my cold eyes and cold tone, she seemed to be poured down with a bucket of ice water head-on, and suddenly her whole face turned pale, and she looked at me with a little timidity: "Miss...... I, I know I'm sorry for the eldest lady, I shouldn't have egged them on that day. I'm just- I just want to—"

"You don't have to explain to me," I looked at her lightly: "You can't say sorry to me, you are not my slave, you don't have to ask me for instructions on everything." You want to see him, it is your own heart, and I have no right to stop you from thinking so. ”

When she heard what I said, her face turned even paler.

After hesitating for a long time, she said softly: "Miss, I, I also heard from them just now, it turns out that the emperor is in a coma, I am really just worried about him, I don't have any thoughts of going against the eldest lady, and I don't dare to have such thoughts." ”

I looked at her faintly, my eyes still cold.

Living up to now, I have seen too many examples of women who disregard a qiē for love, for the people they love, there are good and bad, there are rational and blind, I have no right to judge other people's lives, and I have no right to stop them from continuing to fight for their own love, and even fight against others, but at this moment, I understand more how to go my own way.

Seeing that she was full of remorse and wanted to apologize for her sins with death, I stood still calmly, until I saw two little palace maids walking by in the distance on the other side, pointing and looking at this side, I said coldly: "You don't need to explain anymore, I understand what you said." ”

She looked at me timidly, with tears in her eyes: "Then, eldest lady, I-can I see the emperor?"

“……”

I coldly glanced back at the still closed palace gate and said, "Since you have been in a coma until His Majesty the Emperor, you should also know that it is the noble concubine who is guarding him now." ”

“……”

"Are you going to go in and grab this seat with her?"

Her face froze, and she immediately lowered her head in panic.

I have to say that the people of Xichuan are very good at choosing people, what men sometimes like, may not really be the peerless beauty of the country and the city, the kind of innocent and helpless eyes that make people pity and want to hold them in the palm of their hands to care, and even more so that men have the desire to protect and possess ** - and this qiē, coupled with the gorgeous appearance, will be even more irresistible.

Ye Yunshuang is undoubtedly the best among them.

Looking at her like this, my heart softened a little.

After a moment of silence, I said, "The concubine is inside, and it is impossible for her to let any other woman get close to the emperor. However, she can't stay in it for the rest of her life, and if she leaves, you can come. ”

When she heard this, a happy smile appeared on her face again, and she looked at me gratefully: "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss." ”

I waved my hand lightly: "You go." ”

She thanked me again and again before she turned away.

I looked at her back, and I didn't know whether it was bitter or astringent in my heart for a while, so I just shook my head gently, and then went over and knocked on the door a few times, and the people inside immediately opened the palace door, and I walked in.

Entering my room, it was as quiet as it had been in the morning.

It's just that the breeze blew in, blowing the bead curtain slightly swaying, looking at the figure inside seemed to be shaking, I just walked to the center of the room, and I saw Nangong Lizhu slowly turn around and look at me: "You're back?"

"Hmm. ”

I replied as I looked at the still silent Emperor on the bed.

Yihua Palace was extremely quiet, as if the earth-shattering reversal that had just happened in the court did not affect the tranquility here, he fell asleep and did not move, and Nangong Lizhu, even the movements were exactly the same as when we left.

She lay on the edge of the bed, one hand still holding his: "He's not awake yet." ”

I said lightly, "But one person woke up." ”

“…… Who?"

"The Emperor. ”

There was a sudden silence in the room.

She turned her head stiffly and looked at me with an expression of disbelief: "What did you say?

"Yes, the Emperor is awake. ”

“……”

And he went to the top of the main hall and refuted the method proposed by all the people - to assist the prince. ”

“……”

"In the next few days, the Emperor Taishang will personally assist the crown prince and preside over the government. ”

“……”

When I said these words, I looked carefully at her pale face, and saw that she was a little panicked and a little dazed, and when I finished the last sentence, she seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief, and then said: "That's it, it's okay, it's okay." ”

I said, "You don't care, how is Lord Nangong?"

Her eyes were a little more blank.

After being silent for a long time, she shook her head, turned her head to continue to look at the person on the bed, and said softly: "I, I only care about him now, I just want to know, when will he wake up......"

“……”

I looked at her calmly for a moment, and finally, sighed softly.

I stayed in Yihua Palace for a long time, resting, but also to let myself bring back a little from the main hall of the restlessness xù to restore calm, but I didn't expect to fall asleep all of a sudden, when I woke up, the sky was dark, hurriedly got up to pack some things, and when I came out again, lanterns were hung under the eaves outside, swaying with the wind, emitting a strange, dim light.

It's like a ghostly shadow in a dream.

I stood there, and for a while I couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams, until I pretended to be overdone and saw Nangong Lizhu, she was still kneeling at the head of the bed, silently, looking at Pei Yuanhao stupidly.

I came to my senses a little.

Looking at her focused eyes, I couldn't help but sigh lightly - if Ye Yunshuang wanted to see Pei Yuanhao, it was probably not so easy.

I didn't say anything to her, I didn't think I had anything to say, I only explained to Su Su and Mama Wu outside, and asked them to take care of her a little, although Su Su was still a little unwilling, but Mama Wu was still quite sophisticated, and she agreed to me with Su Su.

I turned around and left Yihua Palace.

As I walked all the way to the palace where I had no desire to speak, the sky became darker and darker, giving people a feeling of depression. As soon as I arrived, I saw that several bright lights had been lit under the eaves inside, and they were swaying, and the shadows of the trees in the courtyard were like phantoms.

I was stunned again.

However, this time I didn't wait in the courtyard, but went directly to push open the hidden door, and when I walked into the main hall, I saw Chang Qing with two children, and Father-in-law Yu was sitting there.

She rushed into my arms, blaming me for not seeing anyone all afternoon, I smiled and perfunctory her, and then looked at Chang Qing, she said softly: "The Emperor has woken up, but the person is still a little vague." Outside, the Taoist and I have already told him a lot, but there are still some—"

She looked at me, her eyes twinkling.

I understand it too.

There are also some things that they don't know and can't say, and they can only rely on me to say.

At this moment, I remembered the sound of the door being pushed open, and when I looked back, I saw Yan Wuxian walking out of a door on the other side, and when he saw me, he smiled and said, "It's just right, but I don't have to invite it." ”

I let go of the good words and turned around and walked up to him: "Dao Chief." ”

He turned sideways and made a gesture inside: "Miss Yan, please come here." ”

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

Even if no one says it, I know that the Emperor Taishang must be inside, and he wants to see me.

Chang Qing nodded lightly at me, I didn't say anything, only pinched the warm and hard thing in my sleeve, because of the sweat in my palm, it was slightly slippery, I pinched it tighter, rubbed both sides slightly, and turned around.

No words wanted to bring me into that room.

As soon as I walked into that room, the first thing I saw was that it was brightly lit.

This should be a place for the emperor to rest, the furnishings are very simple, compared to the gorgeous and exquisite houses in the palace, this is more like a place of practice, except for a bed against the wall, there is almost nothing, only the curtain hanging down in the center of the room barely divides this empty and wide room into two parts. Outside, there were wooden shelves at both ends, on which dozens or hundreds of candles were placed, the candles were swaying, and the heat was used in waves.

And on the bed against the wall, the Supreme Emperor Pei Ji was lying there, with a high pillow behind his back, making him barely sit half-sitting.

I walked slowly two steps in, and I heard a creak behind me, and when I looked back, I saw that Yan Wuxian had retreated and closed the door.

Perhaps hearing the sound of the door closing, the person on the bed shook slightly, opened his half-squinted eyes, and turned his head to look at me.

Those eyes, as gentle as ever, only reflected the flickering candle flames around me at the moment, which seemed extraordinarily transparent, as if covered with a layer of mist, and when they looked at me, they gave me a particularly strange feeling, as if the gaze was textured.

I still walked over and saluted him respectfully: "The Emperor Wanfu Jin'an." ”

He looked at me for a moment and said softly, "Lone remembers you." ”

“……”

"You are the palace maid who followed the third child at the beginning. ”

"Yes. ”

"Lone still remembers what he said to you. ”

"Yes. ”

"It seems that the third child has a share of credit for his accession to the throne. ”

"This is the Emperor Taishang and His Majesty the Emperor Xià inherited the mandate of heaven, and they have the blessing of God, and the people and daughters really dare not take credit. ”

He closed his eyes lightly, as if he was a little tired of this kind of polite words, and when he opened his eyes again, he said softly: "I don't want to say, I should see you." ”

“……”

"Just now, Gu also met your daughter, you gave birth to a princess, but you are not a concubine in the harem. ”

“……”

"Who the hell are you?"

I looked up at him, and after being silent for a while, I said softly: "Minnu, she is the daughter of the princess of the former dynasty Zhenguo. ”
