After that day, I fell seriously ill.

When Nangong Lizhu fell ill a few days ago, I still felt that I was as strong as a cow, and I had a sense of superiority that stood tall above the others, but I didn't expect that a few days later, I would show my original form.

I lay on the bed, and my whole body was burned into a piece of red coal.

Those poor imperial doctors of the imperial hospital, the matter on the concubine's side had just stopped for two days, and they were carried to Yihua Palace, kneeling in front of my bed in rows, Pei Yuanhao listened to their recitation of the medical book with a blue face, and finally kicked over a imperial doctor with an uncontrollable kick: "What do I want you to do?"

The imperial doctor was kicked to the ground, and he didn't even dare to snort, so he hurriedly turned over and knelt on the ground again: "The emperor forgives his sins"

"Forgiveness is light and hot, you can't even cure this little disease, believe it or not, I wiped out your nine tribes"

"The emperor spares his life"

"The Emperor Forgives Sins"

Listening to their roars and begging for mercy, I twisted my brows, twisted again, and finally couldn't hold back my mouth: "Stop arguing." ”

Although my voice was as thin as a mosquito, in the shouting of such a group of people, it was still accurately captured by him, Pei Yuanhao hurriedly turned around, saw me open my hot eyelids, and the corners of my eyes were overflowing with tears, and hurriedly sat back on the side of the bed, holding my hand: "Light"

“”

"Tell me what you want"

I didn't have the strength to pull my hand back, so I could only whisper weakly, "I want you to go out."

He was stunned for a moment, and the imperial doctors around him also raised their heads and looked at me in horror one by one.

"You're so noisy. ”

When he heard this, he immediately turned back and pointed at those people and scolded angrily: "Who let you quarrel here?"

The imperial doctors immediately shut their mouths.

Yihua Palace also quieted down, but this silence came so suddenly, even he felt something in the sudden silence, and suddenly his face twitched a little in embarrassment, but he still immediately turned his head to look at me: "Are you still uncomfortable?"

I closed my eyes, and it took a while for me to gather a little strength.

"I want to rest. ”

"Okay, you rest, I'm here with you. ”

"No"

I didn't have the strength to finish the last words, so I heard him turn around and point to the imperial doctors: "Do you hear it, don't disturb her here, get out of here."

As if they had been pardoned, the imperial doctors ran out with a crawl, but as soon as they heard them step out of the door, Pei Yuanhao ordered again: "Let them all wait outside, if there is any change in Qingqing's condition, they must come in immediately."

When Father-in-law Yu heard this, he hurriedly went out to spread the word.

I couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Actually, what can I do?

Just now, those imperial doctors have memorized the medical skills for a long time, and I probably understand that this illness came suddenly and strangely, there was no rain, no cold, just such a fever for no reason, and for three whole days, it seemed to be drying people up, the imperial doctor could not prescribe the right medicine, so he could only keep cooling me down, no wonder it was in vain.

I know that it wasn't the outside world that made me sick, but that there was a karmic fire burning in my heart.

Or rather, it's a fire in the heart.

I couldn't find an exit, and there was no way to escape, and this disease came like this.

I closed my eyes, my hot eyelids burned my tears all the time, the corners of my eyes were moist all the time, every breath burned me to tremble slightly, and even the next moment, I was worried that fire would erupt from my body, and at this moment, a cold handkerchief was applied to my forehead.

I didn't open my eyes, I just listened to the heavy breathing above my head, and I knew it was him.

He hasn't left my bed for the past few days.

I couldn't open my mouth, and I knew that I couldn't get rid of him, so I watched him stay by my side, and after a few days, he was a little haggard, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, but the strength of scolding did not decrease at all.

The handkerchief, soaked in ice water, became warm after a few moments on his forehead, and the hand took it, and in a few moments the sound of water sounded in the other corner of the room.

He said, "Bring some more ice." ”

"Your Majesty, let the slaves and maids do these things. Your Majesty, your hands are going to freeze. ”

"Less nonsense"

"Yes. ”

I heard a clattering sound, and the ice cubes were thrown into the basin of water, and in a few moments, a moist ice cloth was applied to my forehead.

This time, the temperature was a little lower, which made me tremble a little, opened my eyes, Pei Yuanhao hurriedly came over, and looked at me with a little expectation: "What's wrong?"

“”

"Tell me what you want. ”

“”

"Want to eat and drink"

“”

"Do you want me to do something for you?"

I looked at him for a long time, and finally gained a little strength, my lips opened and closed slightly, and he hurriedly leaned his ear over, and heard my thin murmuring voice

"Protector Mage. ”

His gaze flickered.

After saying those four words, my whole body was a little paralyzed, but the long-term exploration and unknown made me give birth to more strength, when I spoke, my dry lips cracked, and a salty taste bloomed on the tip of my tongue, which stimulated me to tremble slightly: "Your Majesty promised the people before that she could meet the protector mage." ”

His brows furrowed, and he said, "Aren't you still sick now, or wait until you're well."

Before he finished speaking, he looked at me and looked like he couldn't say anything.

After a moment of silence, he said, "I won't lie to you, I promised you something, and I will definitely do it." The Protector I know you've always wanted to see her, and I'll let you see her. ”

I was silent for a long time before I said, "This moment, I don't know the next moment." ”

“”

"Today, you won't know tomorrow. ”

“”

"The folk girl wants to see her. ”

My voice got lower and lower, and at the end it was like a cat whimpering, and he thought I was going to cry, so he hurriedly leaned down and reached out to caress my cheek: "Okay, don't worry. It's already the middle of the night, and it's too late to leave the palace, so I'll arrange it for you tomorrow."

“”

"I do what I say. ”

Probably he has never been so suspicious in his life, and he has to promise people this, and in the end, his face became a little difficult to look at, but the hand that touched my cheek was still as gentle as ever, and even coaxed me like a child, and I finally knew that it was the third watch in the middle of the night.

Those doctors outside are pitiful enough.

I slowly closed my eyes.

His breathing finally calmed down, and he looked at me quietly for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Are you hungry, do you want to eat anything?"

“”

"Do you want to drink water?"

“”

"Lightness"

His voice was getting lower and lower, as if he wanted to get a response from me, and as if he was afraid to wake me up, and I had no strength at all, so I just closed my eyes and didn't make any answer, so that he thought I was asleep and couldn't hear him.

He slowly fell silent.

The hand, still cold and warm, touched my cheek lightly, but it bounced off immediately.

I don't know how long it took, and the voice of Xi Suo came from the side.

A gentle body burrowed into the quilt and gently crossed a hand to wrap it around my waist.

His breathing, very cautiously above his head, seemed to wake me up, and I could feel his gaze, and he looked at me with a little caution.

I don't know how long later, I heard a long and tired sigh, with a little dreamy chaos, muttering: "I will give you everything, I will promise you everything, as long as you are by my side, you will be by my side like this"

I kept my empty eyes closed in the night.

When I came the next day, there was no one around.

Only Su Su stayed by the bedside, and when she saw me awake, she immediately pounced on me happily: "Miss, you are awake"

"Hmm. ”

I nodded, I felt that I had a little strength, and my mind was still clear, just moved, still couldn't get out of bed, she and Mama Wu took care of me like a child after washing me, and then helped me to lie down, I lay down for a few days, my back and back hurt very much, and I refused to lie on the bed anymore, so they took a pillow and put it at the head of the bed, let me sit up.

Seeing that I was a little refreshed, both of them were very happy, and immediately went to call the doctor, I hurriedly stopped them, in fact, I knew my illness best, and called them over, but I scared them in vain, why bother

I looked around: "Where's the good word?"

"Send it to the queen's mother. ”

"Why"

As soon as she saw the eldest lady sick, she was so frightened that she cried and made trouble, and refused to eat, and the emperor had been taking care of the eldest lady's illness, so she really had no choice, so she asked the queen to take care of her for the past two days. ”

“”

I remembered that Nangong Lizhu was seriously ill and dying before, which gave Miao Yan a lot of stimulation, she had always been afraid that I would be sick like that, so she used to worry about me, I originally promised her that I would be fine, but I didn't expect that so soon, I slapped her in the face.

I asked, "So how is she now?"

"Don't worry, the queen is kind to her, and the queen mother took Miss Sun over to see it a few times, to ensure that the eldest lady is just a little weak, not really sick, Miss Sun is much calmer now. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what happens now, the thing that is wonderful is the biggest thing in my heart, as long as she is safe, it is better than anything else.

Su Su had already prepared rice soup for me, at this time sitting on the edge of the bed, spoonful by spoonful of feed to me to drink, I lay down for a few days, did not eat anything, at this time I was indeed a little hungry, drank a few mouthfuls of rice soup, and felt hungry in my stomach, but it was not good to wake up and eat violently, so I could only drink some rice soup to satisfy my hunger.

After a few sips, I suddenly remembered something.

"Then, what about His Majesty the Emperor?"

Su Su shook her head and said that she didn't know, Mama Wu was packing up her clothes over there, and when she heard this, she hurriedly came over and said, "The emperor left early this morning, saying that he was going out of the palace to do business, as if it was for the girl's business." But before leaving, he told the slaves and maids to take good care of the girl. ”

When I heard this, my heart jumped suddenly.

Yesterday I told him that I wanted to see the Protector, and he will leave the palace today, probably for this purpose.

I didn't know how sad or happy I was for a while, but no matter what, being able to meet the Protector and solve the doubts that had been haunting my heart might help me in my future path.

If only I could go on my own.

Mama Wu said again: "By the way, several ladies in the palace came to visit the girl, but they were stopped by the people sent by the emperor. ”

"The Emperor Sent Someone"

"Well, stay around Yihua Palace, and don't let the idlers wait in to quarrel with the girl. ”

I lowered my eyelashes calmly.

Even if I am sick these days and can't go out, I can guess what will happen to the harem in the past two days, I have no intention of socializing with those girls, but I don't want to offend them, Pei Yuanhao did this, but it saved me a lot of trouble.

However, I'm afraid that some of the people I want to see will also be stopped.

So, I asked Su Su to watch outside, and whoever came to see me would go back and forth first.

However, no one came.

I know that Chang Qing is a little afraid to see me at this time, so she has a wonderful word, but she has never appeared when I am sober, only the detainers will come over every once in a while to deliver medicine and soup, they are polite, I can't pull my face, this matter is temporarily confused.

And Concubine Ning Yang Jinqiao, she didn't come either.

In the past, she was relatively close to me, and there were many things that I could talk to her, but this time, since the Nangong family and the Chang family made trouble, she has always been a posture of standing by and watching, and it seems that she is also far-sighted, and the court has become like this, and the Yang family has not lost a little;

This woman, as always, is so sober.

However, they are not what I want to see the most, what I want to see most now is with my concubine Liu Li.

However, she is also the one who is most afraid of seeing.

When I thought of her being almost the same as that person, her cold eyes, being looked at by her, as if I was being looked at by that person, he didn't hurt me, but the greatest pain in my life was all thanks to him.

Like a demon.

Thinking of this, I slowly closed my eyes, and some of the hot eyelids made me shrink slightly, and a tear slipped from the corner of my eye.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the door was slammed open, and I hurriedly opened my eyes, and saw Su Su running in from the outside, with a panicked expression.

I asked her to go out and see who was looking for me, and the way she was now, could it be that a ghost was looking for me

My brow furrowed: "What's wrong?"

"Miss, something happened, something big happened"

I was stunned: "What"

She ran in front of me, the whole person was unstable, and suddenly fell on the edge of the bed, panting and said: "Just now there is news outside, the prince, assassinated"
