Chapter 11
The emperor was critically ill, and after rushing back to the palace from the Nanping paddock, he issued three urgent orders in a row-
The first is to temporarily seal the news that the saint is critically ill, and order the Xiao family and the prince to stay in front of the palace, and leave Jinwu and Yulin heavily garrisoned;
the second is that the fourth prince Jing Hong is in charge of the emperor, and the prince of Zhenguo and Xiao Xiang jointly assist the government;
The third is to be registered as the king of Yan, and enter the court with the decree of the Son of Heaven.
These three commands suddenly made everyone fall out of sight, and the power of the Heavenly Family changed overnight. In the case of the menstrual blood slaughter, the prince's qi has been exhausted, and now he is left behind, and his real power has been hollowed out, and his position is the same.
Even more unexpected were two people. The first is the four princes who are modest and respectful in Pingsuri, saying that modesty and courtesy is a compliment, and if it is straightforward, it is the mean; the second is the beautiful son of the Yan Kingdom who has been rumored to have been rumored for a long time but has never seen his person, this rumored remnant son who killed hundreds of officials in one night was actually succeeded to the throne by the holy decree when he was still on the throne of Lao Tzu, and it was the important task of being allowed to enter the imperial prison country.
- No one dares to speculate on the dragon's heart, and no one knows the intention of the Son of Heaven's edict. Perhaps, it was because they didn't know that Emperor Lu Dao had passed on another person on the night of his critical illness and issued a secret edict.
The sky is late, the sunset is splashed over the Yizhou Palace, the bright gold and bright red, the fish-scale clouds are covered with heavy colors, and the half round of red sun that falls into the West Mountain smelts the most brilliant back.
The palace is close to the mountain, and the corridor is built in the sky. I looked at the railing, this is the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen since I came to Yizhou. Outside the corridor, a group of guards waited, and the royal send-off team unfurled the flag canopy.
"Chang'an is far away, take care of this trip. "The breeze is warm, and the long hair between the temples is raised. Shen Zhan stood by my side with his hands long, his dark eyes, plain white clothes, and the fragrance of Du Ruo, which seemed to be absent, and a trance had appeared in my memory thousands of times.
"Help me, I forgot, take care. Gao Xiyue, what you told me, apart from these three sentences, is there nothing else?" The setting sun shone obliquely on the dark and corrected crow-colored sideburns, reflecting his eyes, and the burning gaze contained too many complex emotions. After a long time, he spoke lowly, and his tone was lonely: "It's okay, you and I can't tell each other for a long time, and we have nothing to say." ”
My heart twitched hard, and I tugged at the corners of my mouth to find that I didn't know whether to laugh or say something. Obsessed with lust and indebtedness, it is impossible to say in this life, if you say it, it will be wrong, and if you say it, it will be a disaster.
"Yizhou is hot and humid, and the spring is not as sunny as the north. Come back early, don't let down the peach blossoms of Chang'an. ”
I lowered my eyes slightly, and I inexplicably remembered that the gorgeous peach blossoms in the palace that year had all bloomed overnight. If I hadn't made a willful decision that year, where am I today?
"Shizi, can Zhaoyuan ask you for something?...... Or, should I call you 'King Yan' now?"
Shen Zhan turned his head, his clothes were in the wind, his face was like snow, and his voice suddenly became gentle, with an almost inaudible sigh: "If you insist, you might as well call me 'Imperial Brother'." The pathos I read in his eyes was like the glorious sunset in front of me, intense and vast, pouring out the most brilliant splendor in the air.
I will never forget the way he strangled my neck and laughed madly, and in the filthy prison he was still cold and pale as the moonlight in the middle of the night, even if he was covered in blood. I didn't know anything about personnel that year, he was just a small son of Yan Guo. That year, we could never have imagined that on a peaceful evening in the future, King Yan and Princess Zhaoyuan would stand quietly in the sunset, and he taught her to call him "Brother Huang".
The side face of Shen Zhan is hidden in the warm light, and the eyebrows are still rare in the world, such a man, maybe I will never forget. "I know what you want to say. What you have not said, I know what you have said. It is better for me to be on my own. I know the month of high interest, as it should be. ”
The wind rose at night, and after serving the emperor and taking the decoction, I left the dormitory early. Allure is like a puppet, standing beside the dragon couch without expression, staring blankly at the emperor in a coma, laughing a few times from time to time, and his expression is still numb. I don't want to smell the smell of Danshi in the temple anymore, the conclusion reached by the imperial doctor after diagnosis is still lingering in my ears, and walking on the corridor is full of wind echoes in my ears.
“…… The emperor's illness is really strange, and he can't find a single cause, but it is menacing. Now he has saved the emergency with Danshi, but he has quenched his thirst by drinking a donkey......"
"In my opinion, how should my father's illness be good?"
"Yichen met with Lu, the emperor's illness can only be recuperated at the moment, and he must not continue to take pills. After that, we can only rely on the will of God!"
“……”
The Son of Heaven was critically ill, leaving the prince and Xiao to stay in front of the bed. The earlier bloody massacre made the prince almost want to be deposed, and the emperor's illness postponed the punishment of the prince. However, this time, the emperor's three urgent edicts have revealed the dragon's desire, and now the prince is staying in Yizhou with an empty name, and he is afraid that he will taste the pain of the tiger falling into Pingyang again.
Walking to the corner of the corridor, a purple indigo figure suddenly appeared, "The princess stays." Raising his head, he straightened his back and stood in front of me, obviously waiting for a long time.
I pretended to be frightened and patted my chest and said, "Is the crown princess trying to scare me at night?"
Yu Ruo hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, there was no temperature in his smile: "Where is there a crown princess here, why should the princess pretend to be innocent?" I lowered my head and patted the dust on the corner of my skirt, only to hear her say coldly, "Princess, in vain I trust you so much in the palace, you and the general support the East Palace, I also think you are kind." What people can't imagine is that today it was you and the Xiao family who framed the crown prince!
I straightened my sleeves and pulled my neckline up again. In the spring, I put on light clothes, and it is inevitable that there will be a chill on my back at night. "Princess, have you forgotten that we are people in the same boat?"
"You're done?" I raised my head to look at her, a smile on my lips, "If you forget, does the crown princess also forget something?" Zhao Yuan remembered that he once said that there are no permanent friends and enemies in the court. The only thing you can believe is yourself. "The wind blows, the moonlight is still hazy, and the palace lights are swaying on the promenade. But it is no longer the Lingxi Palace that night, and I and Yu Ruo that night.
The moment I passed by Ruo, I stopped beside her for a moment, and she also turned her head to look at me. The corners of my lips opened slightly, and the secret edict with a bright yellow spike pendant appeared in my hand, and I deliberately lowered my voice in her ear and said, "This time, you can no longer fight for the East Palace, only for yourself." ”
Looking up, the night was impenetrable, and a faint cough came from the dormitory in the distance. A few remnant stars on the canopy of the sky faltered, as if to herald the arrival of something. Suddenly, there was a sound of things smashing, and I saw a figure stumbling out of the emperor's bedroom, running straight in the direction of me and Yu Ruo.
Huang Jue grabbed me, and threw himself to the ground with a "tom-" with a panicked expression: "Gong...... Princess! Imperial ...... The emperor suddenly lost his breath!"
