Body dividing line****************
"I heard that my sister has been suffering from a cough recently, and now she is much better?" Concubine Shu came to Liu Zhaoyi's palace and asked with a concerned face, "What did the imperial doctor say?" ”
Liu Zhaoyi smiled gently: "But some small problems, my sister doesn't need to worry, there is a new imperial doctor in the imperial hospital, named Xu Lin, although he is young, but his medical skills are good, I just took the two medicines he prescribed, not only the cough is eliminated, but also the spirit is a little better than usual, if my sister is ill in the future, you can also ask him to come for treatment." ”
When Concubine Shu heard this, a touch of joy appeared on her face, and she said happily: "My sister will be well when she recovers from her illness, so my sister will be at ease." ”
"Did she say that?" Zixuan listened to Guo Yishan's words and couldn't help asking, "How come, she is by no means this kind of person, she must be involved too much to be like this." ”
Guo Yishan glanced at Zixuan, snorted, and said coldly: "Zixuan, can't you see clearly, what are her fetters, her father has made great achievements in the country, she escaped from the palace with you, and his father will not be punished too much." This is obviously greedy for glory, intending to wait for her father's victorious return, rely on her father's merits, and be favored again. ”
When Zixuan heard this, he couldn't help but think a little bit in his heart, and what Guo Yishan said also made some sense. Zhaoyun was born in a famous family, he has been a golden and noble since he was a child, and he has indeed not suffered too much, and he must have a difficult life when he goes out of the palace with himself, and he has to be frightened. Perhaps because of this, Zhaoyun was reluctant to leave the palace.
After thinking about it, Zixuan felt that he thought of Zhaoyun too much, what Zhaoyun was, he couldn't be clearer, even if it was a golden branch and jade leaf, but his heart was extremely high, and he would not be stumped by glory and wealth. So in addition to worrying about your family, I'm afraid there are deeper reasons.
Guo Yishan looked at Zixuan's sad appearance, gently patted him on the shoulder, and persuaded: "You don't have to think about it anymore, since she said that there is only the emperor in her heart, only glory and wealth." No matter how much you think about it, it's in vain, but it's better to forget it as soon as possible. ”
A word woke up Zixuan, Zhao Yun only thought about the emperor? But Guo Yishan inadvertently said: "There is another thing, the six princes often compete with the three princes, I am also familiar with the guards of the three princes, and I see that they are still loyal, yesterday when I visited the cold palace at night, I inadvertently looked, the guards at the door seemed to be the people of the three princes, and I don't know what mistakes they made, and they were sent to the cold palace by the three princes?" ”
However, in an instant, the scene of Zhaoyun and Murong Yuhan's private meeting in Chuifang Yuan appeared in Zixuan's mind again. Contacting Guo Yishan again, Zixuan's mind suddenly cleared up a little, could it be that Zhaoyun and the third prince had already given each other privately and changed their minds? It seems that his infatuation is the wrong one after all.
For many days, the war ahead was frequently urgent, and the emperor was also worried every day, calling on his ministers to contribute to the country. The queen even halved the monthly salaries of the concubines and waiting palace people in the palace, and used all the silver money saved to help the front.
At this critical juncture, the harem concubines did not know the general situation and complained, and they had to pretend to be very willing to praise the queen for their understanding of righteousness.
Rao is like this, but the battle on the front line is becoming more and more critical.
Finally one day, Xia Qingtai and the Turkic general were seriously injured in the course of the battle, but they endured great pain, fought to the death, and finally beheaded the Turkic general under the horse, and he was also seriously injured, and died soon after returning to the camp.
In order to avoid demoralization setbacks, Xia Dongling was sad, temporarily suppressed the news of his father's death, and then led his subordinates to attack the Turks desperately, staining the yellow sand with red blood, and Jin Ge fought on the iron horse, which lasted seven days and seven nights, with countless casualties, and finally forced the Turks to retreat and surrender.
The moment the good news came, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard that Xia Qingtai fought desperately and sacrificed his life for the country, he couldn't help but moisten the corners of his eyes, and posthumously named Xia Qingtai as the first-class protector of the country, and Xia Dongling was also named the general of Huaihua of the third grade.
The autumn wind blew off the withered yellow leaves, and everything looked so bleak. In order to thank Xia Qingtai for his merits, the emperor ordered the palace to fast for three months, and because of the loss of the country's general, his heart was somewhat sad, but in addition to staying in the queen's palace according to the ancestral legal system, the rest of the concubines did not call him to sleep, and Concubine Ping's heart was somewhat uncontrollable.
"Father, my son has something to do." Murong Yuhan stood respectfully in the imperial study and said to the emperor who was sitting on the red agarwood chair, "The Duke of the Protector sacrificed his life for the country, his loyalty and courage are commendable, and I hope that my father will remember his loyalty and fulfill the last wish of the Duke of Protector." ”
When the emperor heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he asked calmly: "The Lord Protector still has a last wish, why didn't I hear General Huaihua mention it?" ”
Murong Yuhan replied: "The ministers admired the loyalty and courage of the Protector of the Kingdom, and specially went to the mansion to offer condolences, because of the complicated funeral rites and the sadness of General Huaihua, so he waited until the Protector of the Kingdom entered the earth for peace, and then asked General Huaihua about the Protector's last wish when he died. General Huaihua only said that the only thing that the protector is most concerned about is the only daughter under his knees. ”
After saying this, Murong Yuhan raised his head slightly, glanced at the emperor carefully, and saw that the emperor's expression was as usual, but he seemed to be thinking about something silently, and said softly: "The son is courageous, the protector of the country has now returned to Huangquan, and the father must also hope that he will go peacefully, and also ask the father to read that the protector of the country has fought for the country for many years and has made great contributions, so that he can open the net and complete the last wish of the protector, so that General Huaihua can also be grateful for his father's benevolence and be more loyal to the country." ”
The emperor snorted, glanced at Murong Yuhan appreciatively, and said: "What Han'er said is also reasonable, you have always had your own opinions on political affairs, and I am also very pleased to think of this." After a pause, he said: "Actually, the queen also mentioned this matter to me slightly, but I haven't made a plan yet, so I just heard you say this, and I also feel that it should be so." You are the best among all the princes, and you must be more diligent in the future, and share more worries for me. ”
At dusk, Liu Chongmao arrived at the cold palace with the holy decree and read out the emperor's decree. Zhaoyun heard the emperor's decree to restore her Jieyu's position, and still lived in the Ninghuan Palace, and thanked her with tears on her face, and followed Liu Chongmao out of the cold palace.
Along the way, Zhaoyun felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he was out of the cold palace after all, but it was not because of wronged Zhaoxue, but because he relied on his father's life to serve the country in exchange, how ridiculous and how sad, such a walk out of the cold palace, I don't know how many people are staring at him in the dark.
Reset Jieyu, still living in the old hall? After experiencing sadness and suffering, how can it be possible to return to the original state. This time out of the cold palace, it is bound to be more difficult to walk in the future, bearing a charge of mutilating the emperor's heir, losing power and no favor, I am afraid that in the future, I will watch others speak coldly to me, and even avoid it, and I can have the power to refute?
Thinking like this, Zhaoyun's footsteps became heavier and heavier, and when he walked to the Ning Huan Palace, he saw that there was some light in the hall, and Bai Zhi Luyang stood at the door to greet him. Zhaoyun couldn't help but wet his eyes, no matter how bad he was, after all, there were still people who were willing to follow him, although the palace maid was humble, but it was much better than those so-called "knowledgeable" eunuch women, at least, they were good to them, and they were sincere to themselves, this is the truth in adversity.
Bai Zhi greeted her, and said with tears in her eyes: "Little master, you have suffered, and now you are the same as before entering the palace." ”
Is it the same? How can it be the same, can I still talk about piano and painting with Concubine Shu and Liu Zhaoyi in the future, and gossip? Although he didn't expect it, would the emperor set foot in Ning Huan Hall half a step further?
No, none of this will happen, I knew that it was like today, why did I want to enter the palace, but if I didn't enter the palace, would I have another way?
When thinking like this, Bai Zhi said angrily: "Little master, now you can see people's hearts, the slave maid originally thought that the little master would come back when he left the cold palace, and the people who served before would come back, but he didn't expect that only the slave maid and Lu Yang asked for the queen's grace." Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Linzi actually pushed and blamed, and would rather do inferior errands in the Inner Court Bureau than come to serve the little lord again, which shows that the little lord is good to them on weekdays, and they have forgotten about it. ”
Zhaoyun said lightly: "This is not to blame them, I am now bearing a layer of charges, losing power and no favor, and if I can't protect it, I will enter the cold palace again if I offend Long Yan, if I am affected by my side again, wouldn't it be cost-effective." ”
There were tears in Lu Yang's eyes, and he persuaded: "Don't say such things anymore, the slave and the maid and Sister Bai Zhi both believe that the little master is innocent, the little master treats the slave and the maid well, and the slave and maid are willing to follow the little master." ”
Zhaoyun was moved: "Okay, good, the road in the palace is still very long, and if you follow me in the future, you will definitely suffer some grievances, but as long as I am here, I will definitely try my best to protect you." ”
"Xia's out of the cold palace?" Concubine Ping leaned on the soft pillow, rubbing the Ruyi handkerchief with one hand, and the other hand kept rubbing.
The maid approached and replied: "Yes, the slave maid watched the Xia family return to Ninghuan Hall with Manager Liu, and I heard that the emperor also restored her position." ”
With a hiss, a long crack was torn out of the handkerchief, and I don't know how much strength Concubine Ping used, but the anger on her face was clear.
"Very good, since the Xia family is out of the cold palace, this palace treated her like that before, I'm afraid that she will have some plans again."
"What Niangniang said is very true, Xia can not only start with the concubine who is like a sister, but also have a dislike with Xia, if we don't start early, in case Xia's design is not good for us, we are afraid that we will suffer from it. Moreover, after this incident, the Xia clan will definitely not use such superficial means again, and we must be more careful. ”
Concubine Ping glanced at the maid, snorted, and said: "It is worthy of being the person around this palace, and after a long time with this palace, he is also a lot smarter, since you say so, then what can you do?" ”
The maid took two steps forward and whispered a few words to Concubine Ping, Concubine Ping nodded, and with a sigh, Demon Ye smiled: "Do it like this, remember, you have to do it neatly, don't fall into the handle." The maid bowed her head and said, "The slave and maid understand." ”
