Text Chapter 190 The Last Taste of Medicine (1) [Ask for Collection~]
The drum sounded in the third watch, and the entire Da'an Palace was silent. The silhouette of the palace, which had been silent and invisible in the dark night, was suddenly shrouded in a pouring rain. The dim palace lights under the eaves fluttered horizontally and swayed. The palace man who kept vigil suppressed his sharp voice and cursed in a low voice: "What the hell is this weather, it will snow for a while and it will rain for a while, the lights were just changed yesterday, let's change them back tomorrow, it's really troublesome!" On the side, another palace man re-hung the lit palace lamp on the eaves, and answered: "Don't complain, be careful of being heard! Recently, Jun Shang has not slept well at night! He is very grumpy, be careful of losing his head!"
The wind-blown palace door shook slightly, in the inner hall of the deep palace, the figure behind the layers of veils was still awakened, on the wide dragon bed, Emperor Xuwen half-opened his eyes, slowly turned his neck, and looked around in confusion, however, those thin white curtains blocked his vision like floating clouds, he sat up suddenly, and let out a sharp howl, which pierced the rainy night's sleep, and it was extremely poignant.
Zhu Daguan is old, and he has retreated from the vigilance of his youth, he woke up from his slumber, and after listening carefully, it was as if he had come out of a dream. hurriedly picked up his coat and instructed the stunned little attendant Quan Heng under the couch, "Quick, go and invite Concubine Hui!"
Quan Heng took the order and left, Zhu Daguan took the lead in entering the inner hall, Emperor Xuwen's eyes were cloudy and yellow, and he had lost the wisdom and wisdom of the day, replaced by the helpless fear when he was about to die. Zhu Daguan took a step forward and took a step back in horror, but Emperor Xuwen had already turned his head to him and frantically threw him to the ground, "I want to kill you! I want to kill you! I want to kill you......
Zhu Daguan's throat was tightly choked by Emperor Xuwen, and the crazy screams of Emperor Xuwen were constantly repeated in his ears, and the palace maids and attendants rushed to arrive when they heard the sound, and the footsteps that were usually soft and light were chaotic, and several attendants stepped forward to hug Emperor Xuwen and tore him off Zhu Daguan's body, "Zhu Daguan, are you okay?"
Zhu Daguan clutched his throat, bowed down and coughed violently, "Order...... Lighting incense...... Concubine Hui Niangniang...... Tune ...... Fragrant!"
Four or five chamberlains barely hugged Emperor Xuwen, but they couldn't stop the screams from his mouth, his face was pale, his eyes were black, and his hair was unkempt, like a demon crawling out of hell trying to break free from the shackles of the spell. Until the faint aroma ignited, his movements slowed down little by little, and gradually regained the dazed eyes that he didn't know where he was.
In the rain, Concubine Hui walked through the shadowy cornices corridor, ignoring the mud and rain on the corners of her skirt, and rushed into the inner hall, "Your ......"
Zhu Daguan finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave Quan Heng a look, and Quan Heng sighed secretly in his heart: These people can't survive. A group of palace attendants retreated, and Zhu Daguan said, "Niangniang." The Sickness of the King...... It's getting worse. This situation used to be once every two or three years, but now it is once every two or three months......"
Concubine Hui's sideburns are a little messy, she has been by Emperor Xuwen's side since she was a girl, from the time when he was not on the throne, from the little princess to Jieyu to Zhaoyi and then to Concubine Hui, Emperor Xuwen's trust in her is far more than others, and no one knows, nor will she believe, she is deeply affectionate to Emperor Xuwen. However, no matter how much she pays, she will never be able to defeat the woman who is already dead, the Gurzhen who is his childhood sweetheart!
If it weren't for the last resort, she would never have murdered Emperor Xuwen in exchange for the five princes to ascend to the throne, which is also the contradiction between the five princes and her. But she must not watch anyone hurt him...... "It's a pity that my master has already gone to the immortals, otherwise maybe she can have a way to ......" Concubine Hui studied under Gu Yiniang, one of the three immortals, when she was in the Six Monarchs' Gate, Gu Yiniang's medical skills are all over the sky, but although she is young and intelligent, she is attached to Hongchen, but she has learned Gu Yiniang's skills three or four times out of ten.
Zhu Daguan's eyes were deep, he looked at Concubine Hui, there was no fear of the superior as a subordinate, and asked directly: "Over the years, the body of the king has been the head of Concubine Hui, presumably Concubine Hui is extremely familiar with the physical condition of the king, if even the mother has no way...... That ......"
Emperor Xuwen had gradually closed his eyelids in the medicinal fragrance and fell into a deep sleep, and everything in Fang Cai was like a short-lived nightmare, in the ethereal aroma and the sound of pouring rain, it no longer existed.
"Since Concubine De went, there has been a dead knot in the king's heart, and I think everything stems from this. The bell must be tied to the bell, but the bell is no longer there......" Concubine Hui's eyes never left Emperor Xuwen, thinking of Gu Erzhen, who had stood with him like a pair of beautiful people, she said: "But for a person like Concubine De, I can't say anything to blame." ”
Zhu Daguan lowered his eyes and deeply hid the strangeness revealed in his eyes.
The torrential rain fell from the canopy of the sky, overwhelming the sky. Zhu Daguan and Concubine Hui unknowingly fell into deep memories.
That year, vaguely August, the sky and clouds and shadows wandered in the glass world, a clear and bright, the girl with a graceful and compassionate face stood barefoot in the middle of a pool of pink and white lotus, turned around and beckoned gently to the young Jinli, the warm light of the setting sun shone on her face, adding a touch of crimson. At that time, Jin Rong was still a young emperor who had just ascended to the throne, and in such a chaotic situation, he knew that his little girl had grown up. "Ah Zhen. ”
The girl saw a faint smile in Jin Rong's eyes, and she slowly walked in front of him holding a few half-opened buds, pink lotus and white clothes, and the blue leaves inserted in her sideburns. That was the day when the young emperor and the peerless treasure he had been waiting for for more than ten years became one.
Zhu Daguan will never forget, he stood behind Jin Rong, watching the girl slowly walk towards them, a pair of eyes were dyed by the glow of purple gold like a dream, this girl who suffered a lot in the deep palace, this girl who was criticized by others with a miserable background, this good girl who only remembers others at all times. Her countenance seems to be forever eroded by sorrow and sorrow, but it has become absolutely beautiful in this heaven and earth, like a goddess.
Concubine Hui was also on that day, knowing that she and Jin Rong had been separated into light and shadow forever by this girl. Between her and Jin Rong, there was a gap that could never be broken. But, she survived the cracks of the battle, and she died. How can one fight for a dead person? When a person dies, he will leave a Jedi in the other person's heart, and no one can set foot on it, and no one can surpass it. No matter how much effort she put in and how much companionship she put in, she couldn't get past the high wall she had built in Jin Rong's heart.
Concubine Hui's face suddenly calmed down, and she said in a low voice, "I'll write back to the Liujun Gate to see if I can find a way." ”
The sound of the rain gradually subsided, a few remnant stars hid behind the clouds, the entire East Palace was pitch black, and the five fingers could not be seen, and the crown prince Jin Zhengku sat in the hall, facing the darkness around him. Concubine Liu was a little scared, leaned towards the prince, buried her face in his neck, the blue stubble on the prince's chin poked her forehead painfully, but in such a situation, she had no one to rely on except the prince, and her aunt and uncle did not move at all, she was the prince's side concubine, and she couldn't be separated from the prince no matter what, she only hoped that the prince could go out, and then in the future she could remember that she and he depended on each other these days. She said in a muffled voice, "Your Highness, why don't you light a candle......
The prince shook his head, his arms tightened, and held Liu Fu in his arms. The news had already reached Concubine Yi, and he didn't know if Concubine Yi would come, but he had to wait. Now that the East Palace is heavily defended, he doesn't know if Concubine Yi has a chance to come in, so he can only make all preparations and use the only remaining rights he can use to give convenience to the other party, maybe tonight.
On the fourth watch, it was the time when people were most tired and sleepy, Shen Jiayi only took her henchman Qiuying, covered in a wide black cloak, and hurried out of Jinhuan Palace, she didn't know why the prince knew the unbearable doubts in her heart, she didn't plan to go to the appointment after receiving the news that Liu Fu had worked so hard to send. The concubine of a harem emperor met with the prince in private in the dark night, if someone knew about it, or the prince had the intention to frame her, she would definitely fall into the abyss and find it difficult to save herself.
But just when she forced herself to suppress her curiosity, her grandfather, who had been quiet, sent a message. She was able to smoothly enter the East Palace from Jinhuan Palace in the palace forbidden, which was naturally a secret transfer of the Shen family. According to the information sent by Liu Fu, Shen Jiayi barely recognized the room in the corner by the light and shadow of the dark night, and walked over step by step.
There was a slight creak from the door, and the prince and Concubine Liu, who were drowsy and sleepy together, woke up suddenly. Seeing that the figure took off his cloak and revealed the woman's hair bun, the two looked at each other and stood up, and the prince said softly, "Fu'er, you go out for a while first." Liu Fu knew that what the prince wanted to say to Concubine Yi was very secretive and important, and it was not much good to know too much, although she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she still bowed down and turned around and went out.
Qiu Ying closed the door for the two from the outside, and the two people in the room stood quietly for a moment, Concubine Yi's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and said, "Your Highness is well." ”
Jin Zheng has thought about his stupidity for many years from beginning to end these days, although he does not have too deep scheming in the city, but he can still distinguish the good and the good, the Shen family has deceived him and his mother for many years, and used his name to form a party in the court to cultivate his own power, before all kinds of irreparable, but since his father did not have him, nor did he depose his crown prince, he must suspect that someone was obstructing him, as long as he refused to admit it, maybe there was room for reversal. He didn't want to talk nonsense at all, and said straight to the point: "If you can let me go out from this place and meet my father, I will tell you what I know, about Empress Xianshen and the hidden reason behind your entry into the palace." ”
