Regardless of whether the mountain is hot or heavy rain pours, the Ganquan Mountain is always a blue sky, through the window lattices and brocade embroidered curtains, with a little chill breeze in the soothing posture wandering in the hall, the fresh grass and trees in the mountains and forests and the rich fruit cloth (i.e., borneol), Suhe fragrance mixed together. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The mixed fragrance smelled a little strange, and Mrs. Gou Yi couldn't help frowning when she walked into the Son of Heaven's bedroom, but she smiled when she walked into the inner bedroom.

"Your Majesty is happy and happy." Mrs. Gouyi, who came from the edict, paid homage at the curtain, and the Son of Heaven, who was taking medicine, raised his hand to signal the pet concubine to approach.

Walking to the side of the bed, Mrs. Gou Yi naturally took the bowl and spoon in the hands of the palace people, knelt beside the bed, and gently waited for the Son of Heaven to continue the medicine.

After a few more mouthfuls of medicine with the hand of the favored concubine, the Son of Heaven suddenly pushed away the hand holding the spoon of Mrs. Hook Yi, twisted his eyebrows and ordered the eunuch serving by the bedside: "Take away all the smokers!" ”

"No!" The eunuch order immediately responded, waving his hand to let the palace eunuchs in the palace remove all the smokers from the palace.

The smoker was taken away, and the breath in the hall suddenly became fresh, and Mrs. Gou Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly, but suddenly heard the doting voice of the Son of Heaven who seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Ai Ji doesn't like incense?" ”

A trace of inexplicable horror passed through her heart, and Mrs. Hook Yi lowered her head and whispered: "...... The concubine didn't know how to incense...... "Even when her family was still well-off, the family resources were not enough for her to come into contact with exotic spices such as fruit cloth and Suhe, and daily incense was the most common herb."

The Son of Heaven did not speak again, his eyelids slightly constricted, and motioned for her to continue to serve her medicine.

When a black bitter medicine was used up, the Son of Heaven only frowned slightly, as if he didn't feel the taste of the medicine, but Mrs. Gou Yi was secretly frightened, took the palace maid's offer, and respectfully offered it to the Son of Heaven to rinse his mouth.

Leaning over with a few jade tables, he spit out the water in his mouth into the gilded and carved silver plate held by the palace people, and the Son of Heaven motioned for the pet to approach.

Mrs. Gou Yi knelt down on the side of the bed again, and just wanted to greet the Son of Heaven with concern, but saw the Son of Heaven leaning over and sniffing lightly on the side of her neck, and her body couldn't help but stiffen. The palace people and eunuchs serving around also looked at each other, and then looked at the eunuch Ling, not knowing whether they should retreat to the outer hall.

As soon as the eunuch Ling wanted to raise his hand and let everyone retreat with him, he saw the Son of Heaven straighten up and lie back on the bed with the jade half, so he slowly put down the hand he was about to raise, and still stood on the side of the bed with his head bowed.

Mrs. Gou Yi was very confused by the unknown movements of the Son of Heaven, and was faintly nervous, calmed down and just wanted to speak, but saw the Son of Heaven slowly stretch out his hand, and the thin and dark yellow hand passed over her ears, and then slowly pulled off the jade scratch head that tied her hair on her head.

After pulling out the hosta, a lock of green silk scattered from the bun of the favored concubine, slid along the ear and over the shoulder, the Son of Heaven squinted, picked up the lock of black hair with the white hosta, and sniffed it again.

Mrs. Gou Yi really didn't know what smell she was contaminated with today, which made the Son of Heaven care so much.

As if something was certain, the Son of Heaven withdrew his hand, casually threw down the hosta, closed his eyes, and leaned on a cushion and half-lay down, before speaking in an unclear tone: "Madame went to the alfalfa garden (Note 1)?" ”

"What are you going to do there?" The tone of the Son of Heaven was flat, but it clearly revealed a cold killing intent, which made the hearts of everyone in the hall tremble, and Mrs. Gou Yi was no exception, and even more frightened - that killing intent was coming at her.

“…… Concubine...... The concubine doesn't know ......" trembling, blessed to the heart, Mrs. Gou Yi thought of a reason to justify, "The concubine doesn't know the alfalfa garden......"

"I forgot......" the Son of Heaven's tone softened, "Madame, step aside!" ”

“…… Nuo ...... "In a moment, Mrs. Hook Yi felt that her underwear was soaked with sweat. At this moment, the voice of the Son of Heaven's repulsion was no different from heaven to her.

The moment she got up, she heard the Son of Heaven warn herself in a cold tone: "Madam, there are some places that you can't go......"

Walking out of the palace door, Mrs. Gou Yi only felt that her legs were weak, and she almost wanted to kneel, but she suddenly met several inquiring eyes, she immediately raised her eyes, but saw that under the stairs outside the hall, Huo Guang, Jin Riyan and the newly appointed Shangshu Ling Zhang Anshi stood side by side, all looking at themselves with a stunned face, after a while, Jin Riyan came back to his senses first, and quickly stopped looking at the rude behavior of the favored concubine of the Son of Heaven, and turned sideways to avoid. Huo Guang and Zhang Anshi reacted at this time, and they also followed sideways to avoid.

Taking a deep breath, Madame Hook Yi straightened her waist, glanced at the three of them coldly, and turned around to leave the Son of Heaven's dormitory from the corridor.

After the eunuch informed Mrs. Gou Yi that she had left, the three of them turned around again, but they did not make any movement, which confused the eunuchs serving outside the palace.

"It's time for Shang Shuling to enter the palace!"

The three of them were silent for a long time, and finally, Jin Ilyan spoke helplessly.

Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly, looked at Jin Riyan, then at Huo Guang, and sighed in frustration: "What should I say?" ”

This is not something that Kim Il-pan can answer. He lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding Zhang Anshi's expectant gaze.

Zhang Anshi could only stare at Huo Guang, hoping that this cronie of the Son of Heaven, who had been his colleague since he was a child, could give advice.

After all, they are colleagues for many years, and they are all favored by the Son of Heaven at a young age, Huo Guang and Zhang Anshi really have a little sympathy for each other, seeing Zhang Anshi in a dilemma here, Huo Guang is not good to stand by, however, after a moment of silence, he can only smile bitterly: "In front of the Lord, what else can Ziru say except tell the truth?" ”

Hearing this unintentional suggestion, and seeing Jin Riyan next to him nodding in agreement, Zhang Anshi easily suppressed the sudden anger in his heart, but he still couldn't help glaring at the two of them: "I'll tell you the truth, and then, I'll bother the two servants to collect the body for me!" ”

Jin Riyan laughed silently and embarrassed, but Huo Guang raised the corners of his eyebrows and smiled faintly: "How can unfounded speculation reach the Holy Hearing?" ”

Zhang Anshi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and walked calmly to the Son of Heaven's bedroom.

Seeing Zhang Anshi walk into the dormitory, Huo Guang and Jin Riyan retreated slightly to the corner of the corridor where no one passed.

"I thought you would suggest Shang Shuling explain the facts." Jin Riyan whispered, but didn't look at Huo Guang, as if he was just talking to himself.

Huo Guang maintained an indifferent and calm look, and replied in the same whisper: "The three of them become tigers, and there are some things that can only be discovered by Jinshang himself." ”

"Zhang Anshi may not be willing to agree, right?" There was a mockery in Kim Ilpan's voice, "If it were me, I'm afraid you wouldn't be like this." ”

Huo Guang lowered his gaze and was silent, without affirmation or denial.

Several palace people and eunuchs left from the Son of Heaven's dormitory with the food table with the medicine utensils, and walked slowly along the corridor, and the eunuch Cheng who walked at the end stopped a little when he passed by the location of Huo Guang and Jin Riyan, and greeted the two attendants.

"I blame Zhao Fu for trespassing into the alfalfa garden." A thin whisper drifted into the ears of the two, and the two bowed their heads in reply.

- Alfalfa Garden......

——Since Zhang Qian's envoy brought back alfalfa that is very suitable for horses to eat, the Son of Heaven who is concerned about horse affairs has made great efforts to promote it. The cultivation of alfalfa has become popular, but it is often called Lianzhi grass (Note 2).

Huo Guang couldn't hide his astonishment, but his heart calmed down.

- "The Han family was created in a hurry, and the four Yi invaded China, and if I did not change the system, future generations could not; If you don't go out to conquer, the world is uneasy; For this reason, they have to work hard. If the future generations do what I did, it will be a trace of the death of Qin. The prince is dignified and quiet, and he will be able to calm the world and not make me worried. If you want to be the master of the text, you are virtuous to the prince! Hearing that the queen and the crown prince are uneasy, how can it be evil? You know. ”

- In the fifth year of Yuan Feng, the general Wei Qing was seriously ill in Ganquan. In front of the sickbed of his cronies and important ministers, the Son of Heaven did not say the oath and promise of "the country will be eternal and the descendants of the Miao will be conquered", but calmly told his general that the prince of the Han Dynasty was none other than Prince Wei. (Note 3)

Looking at Jin Riyan's puzzled gaze, Huo Guang smiled slightly, but had no intention of explaining.

- There are some things that cannot be said and cannot be explained.

Just when Huo Guang was relieved and Jin Riyan was puzzled, in the Son of Heaven's bedroom, Zhang Anshi was sweating and frightened, not knowing how to answer the Son of Heaven's question.

——The old Son of Heaven didn't even look at the book presented by Shang Shuling, still closed his eyes, and asked indifferently: "Does the prince have a book?" ”

Note 1: There is a fairy grass garden in Ganquan, and the alfalfa garden is purely apocryphal, but it is estimated that Ganquan should have a place with alfalfa.

Note 2: "Xijing Miscellaneous": Le Youyuan self-generated rose tree. There is alfalfa under the tree. Alfalfa is a Huaifeng. The people of the time may be called the light wind. The wind is always sluggish. The sun shines brightly on its flowers. Hence the name alfalfa for the wind. Maoling people call it a branch grass.

Note 3: The paragraph of "The Han Family's Grass Creation ......" is from "Zizhi Tongjian", which is indeed Liu Che's to Wei Qing, but there is no detailed record of when he said it, so the time is the same as Wei Qing's serious illness in Ganquan, which is purely the author's exploitation.
