People are found by the rough mothers-in-law who clean the back garden. In winter, when it was time to go to work, several mothers-in-law walked to the back garden together, vaguely looking at a shadow on the lake, and boldly leaning up to see each other, and sure enough, they expected the worst guess.

Judging from the position and the shoe prints on the curved bridge, the person slipped his foot and tumbled down from the curved bridge.

There was already a thin layer of ice on the surface of the lake, and when it fell, the force was not light, and a knock came out on the forehead, and he was unconscious at about that time. The thin ice couldn't resist the weight of a person's fall, and coupled with the body temperature, the broken ice gradually melted, and the person passed half frozen to death and half drowned. When it was found, the man was already frozen with his head down and a thin layer of ice.

"Su Ke cares a lot?"

It was King Jing who spoke out, and after a brief scrutiny, Liang Jincheng did not praise the judgment, but King Jing took the brunt of the question.

Shao Linghang was stunned when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows to look at King Jing. King Jing came uninvited, how many years of friendship have been here, and he just borrowed a cook from him, Shao Linghang knew that he was worried, but he just came to take a look.

But there were also accounts that couldn't be settled before, and the relationship between King Jing and Su Ke faintly made Shao Linghang scruples.

King Jing has always been a refuge from the world, because he grew up with a few of them, so something happened to him. It's affection. In other words, when the emperor was sick, he had to weigh it again and again before entering the palace, and his identity was embarrassing, and he didn't dare to come out even if he was not at all wrong in front of the domain. But the question just now was strange, and the undisguised worry on King Jing's face was also revealed, which was really hard not to make people think about it.

Shao Linghang said lightly: "After all, she is a mother-in-law who works under her hands, so she naturally cares if something happens." After speaking, he immediately changed his words, "I pretended to be sick and bluffed the prince to come to visit, but I really didn't want to go." When she recovers, I will return the love of the cook. ”

King Jing is young, but he has a lot of cities. Knowing that it's someone else's housework, it's not good to talk more. Feng responded a few words with this, and Su Ke didn't mention it again. But the expression on his face was not relaxed.

Seeing that after drinking a cup of tea, Liang Jincheng was discussing acupuncture with Shao Linghang, and King Jing listened to it a few times, made a boring appearance, and said goodbye.

Shao Linghang got up to send it, but King Jing stopped him, "I followed Jincheng when I came, and there was no announcement from the concierge, so I saved a lot of trouble when I left quietly." After speaking, he nodded with the two of them and walked away.

A prince deigned to come to the house to visit, but he didn't report when he entered the door, and it was no longer appropriate to follow a doctor in behind. Now that he has slipped away, even if King Jing himself doesn't feel anything, as the Marquis of Xuanping, Shao Linghang can't be so lazy. He called Mother Sun and hurried her to see her off, "You personally send it to the door of the house, and tell the steward of the concierge that if you can't even recognize people, don't be the steward." ”

Mother Sun understood what was going on, and hurried to pay homage to the king's footsteps. As a result, I chased all the way to the gate of the house, and I didn't see half a shadow. I asked the porter, and the porter said that he didn't see anyone coming out.

Just wondering, King Jing and the girl who led the way turned from the verandah to the bluestone road, and Shi Shiran came towards the gate.

"Hou Ye asked the old slave to send a gift to the prince, but I didn't think that the old slave's footsteps were faster than the prince." Mother Sun smiled and blessed her body, got up and stepped forward.

King Jing smiled and didn't speak, and the little guy with the horse outside the door untied the rope on the horse stone and led the horse, until King Jing's figure turned into the street and disappeared, and Mother Sun stuck her head back.

When he turned around, he saw the porter's steward standing with his hands rubbed together, and he knew that he had realized himself.

"Master Hou is back, and the concierge should also be replaced with some clever people. This time, if you catch it, Master Hou doesn't have the heart to care, and he will give you a chance. Next time, you will go directly to the board yourself. ”

The porter nodded his head, respectfully sent Mother Sun away, and turned around to give two feet to the doorkeeper who was guarding the door just now.

The little porter cried with a sad face and felt uncomfortable, "I'll see you when I look back, how do I know that it's the prince." I looked at it and came in with Imperial Doctor Liang, thinking it was also Lang Zhong. ”

This is a mouthful, although King Jing is dressed ordinarily, at most he looks like a student of the crown prince's eunuch, and he can't get along with Lang Zhong. However, since the death of the old marquis, King Jing has never been to the door again, and he can't complain that the little porter doesn't recognize it. The porter muttered a few more words, and turned back into the house. After a while, I remembered something, and came out to tell the little porter, "Master Hou is 'sick', and someone came to ask don't wear a gang." The eyes are lively, and it is estimated that someone has to come. ”

The little porter responded one by one, and waited in the door with his hands folded.

Over there, having already stepped into the gate of Hefeng Zhai, Mother Sun asked the girl who led the way, "Where did the prince stumble just now?" ”

The girl hung her head and replied softly: "The prince went to the small kitchen and muttered a few words to the cook, not letting me come forward, I don't know what he said." But it only looked like he was admonishing, and there were people on the stove next to him, and he didn't shy away from anything. ”

Since it is not the Hou Ye who is sick but a subordinate, and it hinders the relationship inside, the prince has explained a few words in the past, which is understandable. But Sun's mother always felt a little uneasy.

After going back, I wanted to tell Shao Linghang about it, but everyone was waiting inside and outside, Yuechan glanced at the house, and pulled Mother Sun aside, "Miss Su is so confused, pull Hou Ye and don't let go." ”

Yuechan spoke quietly, but Liang Jincheng stood close and heard clearly.

Mother Sun glanced at Liang Jincheng's black pot-like face, leaned over and leaned over to listen by the door, only to hear the faint sound of talking from the house.

The voice is not loud, intermittent, and I can't really hear what is being said, but it's not something to be seen. One is sick, and the other hasn't slept well for two nights in a row, even if he has the heart, he is probably powerless.

In these years, one is not worried, and the people around him are not worried.

……

In the inner room, Su Ke was in a trance, his eyes were scattered, but he knew that the person next to him was Shao Linghang. She pulled his sleeve and didn't let go, for fear that she couldn't see people clearly, if she let go and changed to someone else, she couldn't continue what she wanted to say, and the next time she talked to him with her spirit, I don't know when.

Shao Linghang lied to comfort her, "You don't have to worry about things that have nothing to do with you." I sent someone to see it, and there were obvious footprints on the curved bridge, and she slipped and fell into the lake. ”

Su Ke didn't feel anything, and when he shook his head slightly, he felt that his head was starting to swell. She endured the nausea and looked at him half-squinting, "I bumped into Aunt Tian in the warehouse that day." "I didn't know who she was at first, and I didn't see her, but she was about to leave with something in her arms, and I bumped into her and tore with her." She was startled and shouted that the old lady was trying to harm her. I panicked and was hit by the screen she had knocked down. Before I fainted, I heard that a girl was looking for her outside, and I found out her identity. ”

She didn't talk about it at first, thinking about it, for fear that her own affairs would cause unrest in the house.

When there was an Aunt Tian in the Hou Mansion, she never knew it, and even Shao Linghang never mentioned it to her. She is careful, and everyone who has been in the palace knows that many things cannot be crossed and the bottom line cannot be stepped on. If you hide it, you have a reason to hide it, and when you make a noise, you are afraid that you will even fold it in. So she just wanted to wait until she was well before she took care of it. But the illness came like a mountain, and before she could recover her strength, a mother-in-law in the treasury drowned in the lake for some reason.

She was very afraid, afraid that there was something involved.

"I heard it," Su Ke's throat was swollen uncomfortably, and his face wrinkled, "I heard you say that something is wrong, send someone to investigate." Don't be too ostentatious, but keep some in mind. Even if there is a connection between them, take care of everyone's face. ”

Shao Linghang heard these words very clearly.

She was afraid that he would make a big fuss and make a fuss, and if he was involved, it would not end well. Even if she wanted to investigate, she told him where he should avoid taboos, lest he not know the severity.

Shao Linghang was a little moved, and the conceited person took care of himself and smacked some affection.

She was worried about him, sick like this, and pulled at his sleeve and clutched her strength to tell him about it, and he felt a heat in his chest. Of course, he also knew that Su Ke might not be because of him, but this "maybe" was suppressed by the fiery heat in his heart, like a little dew stored on the leaves, and the fiery evaporated as soon as the fiery heat was lifted.

He didn't know why.

"I wrote down what you said, and I will send someone to go over secretly from Aunt Tian's side." His voice was gentle, wrapped the quilt for Su Ke, and said softly, "You sleep for a while, I invited a cook who can make medicinal food, and the porridge is ready, I'll call you again." ”

Su Ke's mind was exhausted, and a matter was put aside, and the person instantly became drowsy.

Shao Linghang wondered in his heart, thinking about what Liang Jincheng said, "worrying too much", and worried that Su Ke's body would not be able to bear it. Since the medicinal diet has been prepared, Liang Jincheng's medicine has to be reduced, and people have to try any method if they want to get better. Acupuncture points, wind and cold can not be cured, and it is useful to let Su Ke sleep more peacefully.

He got up and wanted to discuss this matter with Liang Jincheng, who wanted to get up, and there was a force on his sleeve that pulled him. Looking down, Su Ke's hand was still clutching his sleeve.

This feeling is very subtle, when she grabbed his sleeve and asked, he answered, she seemed to grasp the support, and her eyebrows and eyes were soothed.

She never shows weakness, when she sees it, she will always be square and round. was sick, but still drew a line with him. But in the end, he was not an iron man, and he withdrew the thorns erected on his body, and the occasional softness made him remember it deeply.

With little strength, he pulled the fabric out of her fingers.

Su Ke raised his eyelids and didn't open his eyes, but his spirit was very unrelaxed. Shao Linghang pressed down, brushed the hair on her ears, and whispered, "You sleep peacefully, I'll go and tell things down." ”

Su Ke nodded very slightly, almost not moving, but Shao Linghang saw it clearly.

After Su Ke fell asleep completely, Shao Linghang gently exited the inner room. It's time to order, it's time to prepare, and I'm discussing acupuncture with Liang Jincheng, when a small servant came from outside, saying that the servant Lei Gonggong next to the concubine Niangniang had arrived at the gate of the house.

Hearing this, the house suddenly became chaotic.

Mother Sun went to make the bed in the Warm Pavilion tightly, Shao Linghang went to the outer clothes on the side, her hair was messy, and then she hurriedly lay down on the shelf bed in the Warm Pavilion. Yuechan glanced at the girls waiting in the room, her eyebrows widened, and she told them not to say a word.

As soon as this side was cleaned up, Grandpa Lei entered the door.

The second housekeeper, Xue Tao, was respectfully by his side, and after entering the house, he glanced at Mother Sun and withdrew. Mother Sun stepped forward to greet Father-in-law Lei and led Father-in-law Lei to the warm pavilion.

"What are the symptoms of Master Hou? I heard that it had fallen, and the concubine was in a hurry to send our family over to take a look. "Father-in-law Lei has been by the side of the concubine for some years, and he is considered a confidant. Shao Linghang missed the morning court for two days in a row, and the news could not be hidden. The concubine Shao Linghang is eleven years old, and she grew up in the palm of her hand as a pet, and she knows Shao Linghang's temper, and she will not be sick unless she has to. Since it has been two days in a row, it is naturally a major symptom.

Father-in-law Lei, who already had a little silver thread on his temples, looked at Mother Sun with a little contempt, and passed down the words of the concubine, "Niangniang said, Hou Ye is anxious, and there are many things to be persuaded, and you can't come by temperament." Mother Sun is an old man by Hou Ye's side, and she is a nurse, so she can't be indifferent to Hou Ye's affairs just because she is old. The wind chill is small, but it can kill people when it is fierce. ”

One is old, the other is not caring, and any one can let Mother Sun leave.

Mother Sun hung her head and couldn't refute a word.

The warm pavilion and the inner room formed a corner, and after Lei Gonggong brought the words, he got up and wanted to go to the inner room. Mother Sun stopped the person with a false smile, "Master Hou is resting in the warm pavilion." ”

Father-in-law Lei glanced at the inner room with the door closed, his gaze paused for a moment, and then turned around and entered the warm pavilion.

Shao Linghang pretended to be sick and didn't do it well, but Liang Jincheng pretended to sit on the edge of the bed, and when he saw Father-in-law Lei coming in, he got up to say hello with a sad face.

"Since Imperial Physician Liang came to take care of Hou Ye's illness, Niangniang was relieved." Lei Gonggong arched his hands, his eyebrows and eyes shrewd.

Liang Jin waved his hand, "My father-in-law is in love." I should have avoided suspicion, but Ling Hang was seriously ill, and I really couldn't rest assured. ”

Lei Gonggong smiled and said nothing, and turned to look at Shao Linghang. Seeing him lying on the bed with a dazed expression, his hair loose and stubble, and his face tired and haggard, Father-in-law Lei's eyebrows were almost invisibly raised.

"Master Hou wants to have a good life, and the mother is thinking about it in the palace." Father-in-law Lei bowed over, with a little concern on his face.

Shao Linghang let out a smile, "I'm tired of my father-in-law, come here, go back and help me and my mother report that you are safe, don't let her worry." I know my body, it's not good, it's nothing. The family was not at ease so they took leave, which alarmed the mother. ”

Lei Gonggong answered a few words, and they all talked to each other, and they didn't dare to stay too long. I went around the old lady and left without saying a word.

Mother Sun accompanied Father-in-law Lei all the way to Xiangju and sent it all the way. went back and shook his head with Shao Linghang, and Shao Linghang calmed down.

In the evening, Su Ke lifted his spirits and entered a bowl of porridge.

The medicinal food boiled by the chef from the palace does not smell sweet, only tastes fine and glutinous, but it is very appetizing. Su Ke ate a bowl of porridge cleanly, his stomach was warm, he slept all night, and his spirit was much better the next day.

It's just that this disease drags on and on, and he has a low-grade fever repeatedly, and after a few days, Su Ke is so thin that only a handful of bones remain.

Shao Linghang couldn't delay any longer, and he went to the court the day after Father-in-law Lei came, but he went to the Governor's Mansion just to order a thing, and rushed back without anything. With him in the town, the gossip in the house is like flooding into the water, and no wind can get close to Su Ke's side. But a little housekeeper who cleaned up the old lady's treasury stayed in the outer courtyard of the Hou Ye for many days, and Su Ke knew very well what was going on in the house.

She proposed to go back to Fujia, but Shao Linghang refused. Such a weak body can't withstand the toss, and the wind blows on the road, but I'm afraid that my life will not be guaranteed.

When everyone was in such a stalemate, and everyone's spirits were not good, King Jing came to the door again.

The porter came to report, and Shao Linghang went out to greet him. King Jing is not hypocritical, and when he comes, he goes straight to the goal, "She may have a heart disease, let me see her." ”

Shao Linghang's face was bloodless for a moment, he knew that he couldn't hide from what he should come, and many things could be passed without escaping.

After King Jing entered the inner room, after a stick of incense, Su Ke's whimpering cry came from the room.

The cry was dry and hoarse, and Shao Linghang could imagine how Su Ke buried his face in the quilt and sobbed. He went out into the courtyard and looked at the gray sky, and it was snowing......
