Chapter 142: Don't cry
In Kuntai Palace, Jing Yan was silent and unmoving, and time seemed to have stood still for her.
A quarter of an hour? Or an hour? Or a year? Lifetime?
Until he was shocked to realize that his whole body was stiff and sore, Jing Yan suddenly woke up and found that he had been sitting in a brocade quilt for an unknown amount of time.
With a slight movement, Jing Yan frowned, not to mention the muscles, and the bone joints seemed to have frozen.
She endured the discomfort and moved back and forth a few times before she barely got better. She was a little refreshed, but when she looked up and saw the tub in the middle of the room, her eyes dimmed again.
Yu Wenrui's every move, word and deed, I don't know how many times it turned back and forth in Jing Yan's mind before, and it couldn't be dispersed like a magic barrier.
Jing Yan hung her head in a dejected manner, and the blood on the tips of her right index finger and middle finger had already dried up, but it was still burning her heart.
Jing Yan clenched his palms violently and tucked his fingers into his palms.
But what is the difference between receiving and not receiving? It's just a matter of covering your ears and stealing the bell.
Thinking of Yu Wenrui's resolute appearance, Jing Yan's heart suddenly contracted, making her breathing almost choked.
She stubbornly let go of her palm, forcing herself to stare at the dried and dark red bloodstainsβ
That's worry-free......
Whether it's calculating or imposing, facts are factsβ
He took away the body of a carefree virgin.
If you are the one who forcibly occupies your body, at most, you will be greedy for a while, and you will be rewarded with worry-free love. After that, he repaid Zhe's affection with a death. In this way, a lifetime of grievances and grievances, no matter how much you owe, you can feel at ease under Jiuquan.
However, this wrongdoer insisted on taking her body by himself!
How could you, how could you just leave her alone?
Jing Yan closed his eyes in pain.
However, Yu Wenrui's frowning brows due to pain, the cold sweat dripping from the wound, and the cruel words that fell because of the discomfort...... It didn't disappear because Jing Yan closed his eyes. On the contrary, the tight body, messy clothes, and refreshing breath, like a knife and an axe, are becoming more and more vivid and profound in Jing Yan's memory, and they can't be erased no matter what.
Jing Yan's eyes opened again, clear and resolute, she knew, knew that she was reluctant to that person.
She can give up her life, but she can't give up her carefree alone in the world.
Is it because there is blood flowing in the body from the carefree heart? So, empathize with her hurt and pain?
Or is it because I have her, so when I think of her walking alone in this world, and when I think of how painful she will be if I die, I will feel even more painful?
To live is to live up to the heavenly sages; To die is to live up to the carefree life of the world.
You can't live, you can't die. Let's ask: Between heaven and earth, can there be a kind of existence, which is called immortality and immortality, or is it also life and death?
Jing Yan smiled bitterly self-deprecatingly, laughing extremely bitterly, laughing so much that tears filled his eyes.
She raised her face vigorously and looked at the carving of the nine heavens on the top of the tent.
Don't cry, don't cry......
She said to herself.
The things of the world can never be solved by crying to the fullest.
"Queen Mother......" There was a thin, gnat-like tentative call outside the door.
Jing Yan froze, and instantly came back to his senses, and recognized that it was the voice of Bingbi.
"Come in." Her voice was calm and solemn, and she changed back to the queen mother of the Great Zhou.
Bingbi and Shimo, who were waiting outside the door, were relieved when they heard this.
More than two hours ago, the emperor ordered Shen Quan to drive the two of her away, and after that, only the queen mother and the emperor were left in the room. Then, the emperor came out bloody alone, still carrying the "non-attacking" sword in his hand! It was really bloody, and half of his body was soaked in blood.
Bingbi and Shimo were frightened, and they just wanted to rush in immediately to see how the Queen Mother was doing.
Shen Quan's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly wrapped Qiu Yu outside the emperor's clothes.
The emperor was busy with him expressionlessly, glanced at the two of them, and said coldly: "The Queen Mother is asleep." Don't bother! β
As he spoke, he walked away without looking back.
Bingbi and Shimo's feet had to be retracted, thinking about the emperor's meaning: Is this the meaning of not letting them in? However, if you don't go in and take a look, how can you feel at ease?
Therefore, for nearly two hours, the two of them called the Queen Mother almost every quarter of an hour, but to no avail.
Could it be that the Queen Mother really slept? The two looked at each other, and their hearts were not steady.
Until this moment, the Queen Mother finally responded, and the two rushed in hurriedly. But when he saw the Queen Mother, he blushed and lowered his head.
Jing Yan noticed their strangeness, looked down at himself, and his face turned red-
She actually forgot about it, and she was still naked under the brocade quilt.
"......" Jing Yan's mind was blank for a while, and the sense of shame and embarrassment occupied her, making her porcelain-white body flush with shame.
Bingbi and Shimo are embarrassed in their hearts at the moment? It's like a galloping of thousands of horses, and I am surprised and afraid: what did the Queen Mother and the Emperor do before? Why is the Queen Mother naked? Why is His Majesty covered in blood? His Majesty also said, "The Queen Mother is asleep"? Scare! It can't be that His Majesty did something to the Queen Mother, and then was injured by the Queen Mother's sword, right?
The two of them didn't dare to think about it anymore. No matter what the specific details are, it is a private matter of the heavenly family, and if they get a glimpse of it, will they worry about their lives?
Fortunately, Bingbi was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "The slave maid will move this bathtub down......"
But as soon as the words came out, Bingbi wanted to bite off his tongue - bath, bath! What do you do after bathing? Why can't you jump out of that gear?
Jing Yan was calm. It is not so much that she has restored the strictness that belongs to the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, but that at this moment, she is physically and mentally exhausted. The two maids are in a strange relationship, how could she not see it? But she didn't have time to think about it.
"You two, let's serve the mourning family and change your clothes first."
When the second maid heard this, her heart was relieved. If the Queen Mother can pass this matter aside, it will be the best. Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life? Who rejoices in the daily fears?
When changing clothes, Shi Mo saw Jing Yan's expression, obviously tired, and felt distressed, and said: "The dining room has prepared dinner early, the Queen Mother will use some?" β
Jing Yan was slightly startled when he heard the word "dinner", and glanced out the window, "It's night?" β
"It's a quarter past the hour." Shimo replied.
Jing Yan was shocked: "What about the emperor?" β
Bingbi and Shimo paused, glanced at each other, and Shimo said, "Your Majesty left two hours ago." β
"Where is she now?" Jing Yan asked anxiously.
The second maid said ashamedly: "The queen mother is angry! It's the servants who are incompetent and can't leave the Kuntai Palace......"
Jing Yan was stunned for a moment, and then it became clear: the Empress Dowager had grounded herself before, not to mention a little maid, it was herself, and without the Empress Dowager's approval at this moment, she couldn't do without it.
But how could she put her mind at ease?
Jing Yan's gaze slid to the sword that was originally offered in front of the incense burner on the desk, and at this moment, only the empty sword holder was left there-
Carefree forcibly took the sword, and said those words again, what the hell is she going to do?
The Empress Dowager returned to Shoukang Palace and fainted, she had just grounded the Empress Dowager in Kuntai Palace, and was displeased with the emperor, several palace maids who served closely did not dare to alarm the two, so they had to invite Shi Ran to treat the Empress Dowager first.
When Shi Ran stepped out of the Empress Dowager's inner room, he happened to see Yu Wenrui standing outside with his back hand.
"I've seen Your Majesty!" Shi Ran saluted.
Yu Wenrui bowed his head and said: "Aiqing has worked hard! How is the queen phoenix body? β
Shi Ran saw that there were all the proper people around, so he said with confidence: "The queen mother's phoenix body is fine, it's just ...... For a while, my heart was on fire. β
He didn't go on. Although the Empress Dowager has a spring and autumn season, she has always maintained it properly, and if it is not for a reason, she will never faint suddenly. But what is the reason for the Empress Dowager to be like this? No matter how deep Shi Ran has a deep relationship with the Great Zhou harem, he is also a foreign minister after all, which is not what he should know.
Yu Wenrui frowned slightly, and only said, "I know." β
Shi Ran saw her pale and bloodless appearance, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty should also maintain the dragon body without authorization." β
Yu Wenrui nodded and moved inside.
Without waiting for the maid to salute and see the Son of Heaven, Yu Wenrui had already come to the bed of the Empress Dowager, lifted her robe, and knelt down on her knees: "Queen Mother!" β
The Empress Dowager had just taken the decoction and leaned on the pillow, and Yu Jue was stroking her back for her.
Seeing that it was Yu Wenrui, the Empress Dowager lifted up with a dark gray face, "Are you here to intercede for the Jing family?" β
Yu Wenrui didn't answer her words, she stared at the sick face of the Empress Dowager, and felt pain in her heart, and said ashamedly: "The child is not filial, and the queen mother is angry......"
When the Empress Dowager heard her say this, her face softened slightly, and she said gently: "I don't blame you." You are the life of the world, the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the government affairs of the imperial court need you to decide, where can you still divide your mind to take care of the harem? β
Yu Wenrui saw that she still complained about Jing Yan in her words, and was silent for a moment, and said to all the maids: "You guys, all retreat!" β
The maids next to her are just right, but Yu Jue and Yu Bi are trusted by the Empress Dowager, even Jing Yan has to pay a few respects, and the two of them are only the Empress Dowager, how can they listen to the emperor's orders lightly?
The Empress Dowager was puzzled and said, "Arrow, what are you going to do?" β
"The child has a few words that he wants to say to his mother." Yu Wenrui replied.
The Empress Dowager was even more puzzled, but in the end she waved everyone away, and only the mother and daughter were left in the room.
No one knew what the two men were talking about, and the door was closed for half an hour.
Only, first there was silence, and then there was a crisp sound, as if the sound of a cup being smashed somewhere; Then there was the harsh rebuke of the Empress Dowager, but what the content was, but it was not clear to hear.
Later, the silence was restored.
The subordinates of Shoukang Palace, the entourage brought by the emperor, were all guarded outside, and several hearts were raised to their throats at the same time. No one knows what's going on inside that door, and no one knows how what is happening will affect them and the country.
The door was finally opened.
Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads, lest the most noble person in the Great Zhou who came out of the door see their rude gaze.
"Please come again." Yu Wenrui's voice was still calm.
Yu Jue and Yu Bi's hearts were raised because of these words, one was busy calling people to invite, and the other rushed in to check the status of the Queen Mother.
Yu Wenrui dropped a sentence and strode out.
Shen Quan hurriedly followed her, and when he looked up, he was shocked-
Yu Wenrui's right hand was pressed on the right forehead, and bright red blood spilled from between his fingers.
