Chapter 319: Punishment

Ye Bing returned to the palace, and Fei Mo and the inner supervisor on duty were guarding the outer hall of the palace, and there were Qianxiao and other palace maids serving inside, "Is the emperor in better health?" Ye Bing asked in a calm voice.

Feimo shook his head, frowned slightly, his face was slightly pale, Xue Tianao had been very sick in the past few days, and he had never rested well, "The imperial doctor has come, the emperor's stomach disease has recurred and the high fever does not go away, even if he retreats, he can only barely hold on for a while, and he will commit it again after a while." The doctor said that if it continues like this, I am afraid it will not be a good omen. ”

Hearing the latter words, Ye Bing was also stunned, how could Xue Tianao say that he was also a big man, and he couldn't afford to get sick because of a fever? Ye Bing looked at the inner prison on the side, "When you go in to talk to the emperor, you will say that Ye Bing wants to see him." The emperor knows something, and he will see me. ”

Fei Mo was a little strange, it seemed that Xue Tianao had sent Ye Bing to do something, otherwise he would not be so sure that the emperor would meet him, and after all, this matter was Xue Tianao's concern, and now that he thought about it, what he cared about the most was Yan Ran.

"Didn't Commander Ye go to find it?"

Ye Bing was stunned and didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence, the emperor specially ordered that the matter be kept secret, but he didn't say it, it was just Feimo's guess, so he couldn't help it.

Seeing that Ye Bing didn't speak, Fei Mo was even more sure that it was for Yanran. Xue Tianao was sick like this, but what he thought in his heart was still Yanran, even if it was just a substitute.

The inner eunuch soon came out, "Commander Ye led the emperor to announce your entry." ”

Ye Bing nodded and walked in with a calm face, just after entering the dormitory, a strong smell of herbs came to his face, he subconsciously frowned, just smelling the smell of herbs, he knew that the emperor's illness this time was not light, but at this time, what he was most worried about was a woman, "Weichen see the emperor!" ”

Xue Tianao opened his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand from the quilt, and sat up on the bed, Ye Bing hurriedly stepped forward to help, and then put a soft pillow behind his back, with long black hair, scattered on both sides of his shoulders, pouring down, his face was pale and bloodless, but it was difficult to hide his proud temperament, and a pair of cold eyes were not weakened by half a point because of his illness at that time.

On the contrary, he felt that his emaciated cheeks added a bit of arrogance and arrogance, which made people dare not look directly, and he silently waved his hand away from the others.

After Ye Bing helped Xue Tianao, he took two steps back and stood on the side of the dragon bed, hanging his head and standing quietly.

Xue Tianao spoke first, originally thinking that his voice was weak and weak, but when it came to Ye Bing's ears, it was cold and domineering, "What happened to what you did?" ”

"The subordinates have already found out that Miss Yanran was indeed captured by the Seventh Prince." Ye Bing replied truthfully.

Xue Tianao's cold eyes narrowed instantly, a sullen breath was pressed in his chest, and he couldn't help coughing lightly, he clenched his fists and gagged his mouth, and his face was turned to the side.

Ye Bing looked at him with some concern, "Does the emperor need to pass on the imperial doctor?" ”

Xue Tianao waved his hand, his voice was the same as before, and it did not weaken by half a minute at all, "I'm fine, go on." ”

"Miss Yanran is being imprisoned in the prison of the Seven Princes' Mansion, it seems that ......" Ye Bing stared at Xue Tianao's face and said carefully, "She has already been tortured." Sure enough, Xue Tianao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he was instantly infected with killing intent, "It's just that Miss Yanran was rescued later, and her whereabouts are still unknown, and as for the person who rescued her, the identity is unknown." ”

Xue Tianao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and remembered that in the Imperial Garden before, he said that the Seventh Prince wanted to poison Xue Tianao. Xue Tianao just thought that she was talking nonsense, although she was a little wary of the Seventh Prince in her heart later, she had not yet realized that he had the intention of rebelling.

He didn't pursue the matter, but just secretly checked his movements.

never thought that he would arrest Yanran, this is the only reason that can be said. Tang Mingxuan really had the intention of rebellion.

"Continue to send people to search for Yanran's whereabouts, and as long as there is news of her, come and tell me immediately." Xue Tianao commanded, and then lay down.

Ye Bing took the order to leave, and he lay quietly on the bed, his brain was still groggy, but he didn't feel sleepy, and his mind was full of thoughts about Yanran and Tang Mingxuan. At this moment, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had indeed underestimated Tang Mingxuan. He originally wanted to get closer to the princes of the court and China, but it seems that he was self-inflicted.

Thinking about it, Yan Ran's sudden disappearance was not because she didn't care about herself, but because there was another reason, "Someone! Bring me my medicine. ”

On the Seven Princes' Mansion

Tang Mingxuan's military advisor was quite disappointed after learning about Yanran's matter, "Seventh Prince, what we have planned for many years, I am afraid that we will lose everything because of your mistake in this step, although Yanran's origin is unknown, but the emperor dotes on her, this time she suddenly disappeared The emperor will inevitably investigate this matter, although Ye Bing did not find evidence in the house, but Yanran is not dead, and the emperor will know about it sooner or later." ”

"So what?" Tang Mingxuan's expression was indifferent, he sat lazily on the chair, held the teacup in his hand, gently picked up the tea leaves, and lowered his head to take a sip.

The expression was indifferent, but the military was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "The emperor will definitely be wary of His Highness in the future, and it will be even more difficult for us to start in the future." ”

Tang Mingxuan shook his long sleeves, sipped a smile, turned sideways and placed the teacup safely on the table beside him, and looked at the military advisor standing in the middle of the hall with his eyes, "Even if it weren't for this woman, do you think Xue Tianao wouldn't be wary of us?" Do you think that Xue Tianao and I are getting closer, but they really think of brotherhood? ”

Tang Mingxuan sneered, "If he really thinks so, His Highness will really overestimate him." ”

The commander of the military division sighed, the seventh prince is shrewd, has a long strategy, is ruthless, and is a material for being a monarch, but this person is too conceited, this is a fatal weakness, even if he has realized that it is a wrong step to catch Yanran, he will not admit that he is wrong.

Yan Ran slept groggily in bed for two days, only feeling that there were a lot of people coming and going around her, but she didn't remember what she said. It's just that the only thing she thinks about when she's awake or unconscious is to rush back to the palace and see him.

How many times, she felt that she was completely well, dressed, and had arrived at the gate of the palace in the carriage, and she could enter the palace to see him immediately. Explain the reason why he is not in the palace these days, but he always wakes up from a dream the moment he steps into the palace. I found myself still lying in bed, not moving for half a minute.

It was as if my soul had already gone out, but my body was so heavy that I couldn't move.

After cultivating for about ten days, Xiao Wanyao's consciousness fully sobered up, as if she had turned around from the door of Lord Yama, it was not easy to pick up a life this time. originally thought that after being reborn, she would no longer be afraid of death, but she didn't expect that after ten days of dying struggles, she found that there were people in this world who she was so obsessed with and reluctant to give up.

On this day, the first thing I saw when I woke up was Cheng Jin, but she was quite surprised, she felt much better in spirit, and her body was not bad, so she smiled and said, "I have delayed your good deeds, if you have any grievances, just say it, I will listen to it." ”

Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment, and he was a little unhappy, "I, Cheng Jin, am such a small-minded person?" Ye Bing doesn't have to worry about it, even if he doesn't have him, he can't lose you. You take good care of your injuries, and then come to me when you're ready. ”

Xiao Wanyao struggled to sit up, but was stopped by Cheng Jin, "You, what are you doing?" Don't move, don't hear me. Cheng Jin wrapped his hands around Xiao Wanyao, but he didn't know how to start, whether to push her down and let her lie down, or help her up? But how can we help it?

Looking at Cheng Jin's nervous and helpless appearance, Xiao Wanyao smiled again, "I'm already fine, it's really uncomfortable to lie down." If you don't mind, can you pick up the pillow and put it behind my back? ”

Cheng Jin was stunned again, and hurriedly did what Xiao Wanyao said, he really didn't know how to serve people, as if he was born to be served.

After hurriedly helping Xiao Wanyao get it done, he took two steps back, "I'll call the imperial doctor, and by the way, call Shangguan to him, he has been guarding you for the past few days, and he hasn't had a good rest, so I just persuaded him to go back, saying that if you wake up, you will be the first to sue him." ”

Xiao Wanyao stretched out her hand and sighed, suddenly felt that the wound on her body had been pulled, took a breath of cool air, and hurriedly withdrew her hand, but this time, Cheng Jin had already run out of the door, she wanted to say that Shangguan Yunfan had a good rest and didn't need to call him up, it seemed that there was no way to stop it.

After resting for more than a month, Xiao Wanyao was able to walk on the ground, and her spirit returned to normal. These days are the longest time she and Ruier have been together, and the relationship between mother and son has become a lot closer.

In the past, Xiao Wanyao left Rui'er for something, but now Rui'er seems to be busier than herself. Although I came to visit her every day, I just played for a while and left.

On this day, Rui'er suddenly came back with a disgraced face, and the clothes on her body were also ripped a few times, and there were scratches on her face and hands, as if she had fought with someone. Xiao Wanyao looked at his appearance, and she was angry, "Rui'er, what are you going to do?" How did it get like this? ”

Rui'er lowered her head slightly and rubbed to Xiao Wanyao's side, "Mother, I met a wild dog outside, and the dog wanted to bite me like crazy, but I ran away." ”

Xiao Wanyao looked up and down, stretched out her hand to help Rui'er's little face, on the side of her little face, she was scratched with a deep scar, Xiao Wanyao is a doctor, the wound is naturally clear, and at a glance, you can see that it was a human scratch, and Rui'er has no trace of being bitten by a dog.

Even the tearing of clothes is considered.

She shook off her hand, her eyes sank, "Rui'er, you dare to lie in front of your mother, tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”

Xiao Wanyao originally didn't have much time to control Rui'er, it was rare to see it on weekdays, and when she saw it, she was mostly spoiled, as long as it was what Rui'er wanted, she would give it to him.

It's just that this time she was really angry, Rui'er pouted, not afraid of her, "Mother, don't be angry, you are sick just right, and being angry is not good for your health." ”

Xiao Wanyao opened her mouth and held back, but she was moved by Rui'er's words in her heart, but when did Rui'er start to learn to lie? This will be unforgivable. Even if she was distressed, she couldn't.

"Lotus! Take Rui'er out, punish him to kneel at the door for an hour, and then close him for ten days, read and learn calligraphy, and can't let him out without copying the thousand-character text three times. ”

Lianhua was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Rui'er is only five years old, and it is inevitable that she will be naughty on weekdays, and I am afraid that it is too much for Miss Yanran to punish her like this." ”

Xiao Wanyao's eyes raised to look at the lotus, "Do as I say." ”

Lotus was originally the maid of Shangguan Yunfan's mansion, but Xiao Wanyao was the person Shangguan Yunfan valued so much after all, even if she was unhappy in her heart, she still did what Xiao Wanyao said.

Rui'er looked aggrieved, but didn't say a word, when Lotus took him out, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but ask, "Rui'er, do you know that you're wrong?" "As long as you admit your mistake to Rui'er, as long as you don't do it again in the future, my mother won't punish you.

Chapter 320 Ambiguous

Rui'er glanced back at Xiao Wanyao and said stubbornly, "Rui'er is wrong to lie, but those should be beaten, Rui'er is right." ”

Xiao Wanyao was even more angry, and took a deep breath, "Take it out, kneel for two hours, and don't get up until you honestly admit your mistakes to me." ”

Rui'er was taken out and knelt down in front of Xiao Wanyao's door, just a five-year-old child, with an indifferent expression, and a stubborn little figure kneeling straight on the hardstone slab. His arms were lowered, but his head was raised high, and his face was still wounded.

After Rui'er went out, Xiao Wanyao got up and came to the window, and saw Rui'er's sideways through the window, which didn't look like an expression that should be at this age, and that expression was very much like someone. Arbitrary, stubborn like a donkey, no matter how you persuade him.

I couldn't help but think of Xue Tianao again, he was really a person who came out of a mold.

Lotus returned to the room, a little distressed, and wanted to persuade her to spare Rui'er, but saw her standing at the window sighing, which mother in this world does not feel sorry for her child, presumably she is also helpless, hoping that her son will become a dragon. Ruier is indeed a little naughty on weekdays, but when she is sensible, she is super cute.

Lotus stood at the door and looked at this side, then looked at that side, and sighed helplessly, maybe a punishment is not a bad thing for Rui'er. So he didn't persuade Xiao Wanyao anymore and did her own thing.

Lianhua thought that with her own mother accompanying Rui'er, it would not be anything, but thinking of the distressed look on Xiao Wanyao's face, she knew that she would definitely not punish Rui'er for a long time, so after she was busy with the things in her hands, she forgot about Rui'er.

After more than two hours passed, when Lotus came to deliver medicine to Xiao Wanyao, she saw Rui'er still kneeling on the stone slab outside, and his thin figure was slightly sideways from before, as if to endure the pain in his knees, his face was also a little pale, and he bit his lower lip hard.

The two little hands clenched hard, and at a glance it was clear that he was about to lose his hand.

Lianhua hurriedly put down the medicine bowl in her hand and walked in front of Rui'er, "Rui'er, why are you still kneeling here, it's been so long, get up quickly, if you kneel down again, your knees will be useless." Lotus stretched out her hand to help Rui'er up, but Rui'er shook her hand away, "I don't have to worry about it, as long as my mother doesn't forgive me, I won't get up." Death also dies here. ”

Xiao Wanyao, who was sitting in the house, sat on the edge of the bed with her eyes closed, he endured it outside, and she was also suffering in the house. But hearing Rui'er's words, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help biting her lip and wanted to get up, but she still sat down and tried her best to keep her calm appearance.

Sure enough, Lotus rushed into the house, "Miss Yanran, Rui'er has been kneeling for more than two hours, it's time early, let him get up quickly." He's still too young to bear this. "Lotus is really in a hurry, so she is a little rushed to speak.

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath and sat on the edge of the bed, "If he doesn't admit his mistake today, then let him kneel all the time." ”

Lotus looked at this and looked at that, both of them had a temper, Lotus saw that no one could persuade her, turned around and went out of the house and hurriedly went to find Shangguan Yunfan, going crazy, going crazy, this mother and son are really crazy.

Hearing what Lotus said, Shangguan Yunfan, who was busy settling accounts, got up and hurried to Xiao Wanyao, and saw Rui'er still kneeling there, seeing that the thin figure was about to fall. He gritted his teeth, his stomach was full of anger, Rui'er was still so young, how could he be punished like this.

However, before Shangguan Yunfan walked in front of Rui'er, the Mandate of Heaven had already rushed over first, picked up Rui'er from the ground, wrapped one hand around his waist, straddled his side, and turned around to see Shangguan Yunfan hurriedly walking towards this side, and then faced him head-on, with a hint of anger, "I heard that Rui'er has been kneeling here for more than two hours, why did you come here now?" Do you want to wait to collect Rui'er's body? ”

Shangguan Yunfan opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, turned around and walked towards the house angrily, what is this Xiao Wanyao going to do.

Heaven mandated them to raise Rui'er as their own son, as long as Rui'er is happy in everything, everything depends on him, not to mention punishing him, even if he usually touches his hair, he is distressed, okay, Xiao Wanyao is just right, just punish their hearts and souls like this, who is this going to get along with?

"Let me go down Uncle Destiny, my mother let me kneel here, let me go down and kneel." Rui'er was still struggling on Tianming's side, and Tianming looked down at him, "Stay honest, kneel what you kneel, if you kneel again, your legs will be useless." I see that you are quite clever on weekdays, why did such a thing happen and not go to Uncle Shangguan? Uncle Cheng Jin is also here, why don't you ask them for help? ”

"I don't want to be helped, my mother should punish me! I can't make my mother angry. ”

"You ......" Destiny sighed, not knowing whether to scold or feel distressed. This Rui'er is a little too sensible.

Destiny knew Xiao Wanyao's temperament, and knew that it was inconvenient to take Rui'er in at this time, so he waited outside, and sure enough, after a while, Shangguan Yunfan came out of the house, his face was gloomy, and when he saw that they were still there, he frowned, "Why are you still staying here, hurry up and find a healer and show Rui'er." Still waiting for punishment? ”

Destiny was stunned for a moment, so he hurriedly took Rui'er away, Rui'er still wanted to struggle, but where could his small body withstand such a punishment, he had no strength for a long time.

Fortunately, there is no problem with Rui'er, Cheng Jin only learned about Rui'er later, but then there was a scene where Shangguan Yunfan, Destiny and Cheng Jin impeached Xiao Wanyao.

Everyone expressed their opinions Cheng Jin didn't see the scene at that time, nor did he see Rui'er's pitiful little appearance, but he was the worst person who said Xiao Wanyao, what a poisonous woman, what a cruel mother, but everything he thought of said it.

In the end, he came to a conclusion, "Rui'er is our son, you don't want to touch him in the slightest, if this happens again in the future, we are absolutely welcome." ”

A profiteer, a killer, a thief.

Xiao Wanyao felt powerless when she wanted to laugh, but unfortunately during the whole process, she didn't have a chance to speak at all, and finally had to give up, and when they had enough of their mouths, she coughed lightly, and her eyes swept over the three people, "Finished?" Still scolding? Is it my turn to say? ”

The three of them looked at each other and did not speak.

Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath and sat upright, "I know you feel sorry for Rui'er, don't I feel sorry for my mother?" You have said so much just now, I only have one sentence, Rui'er is the one who will rule the world in the future, and he will definitely be the king. ”

She got up slowly, her expression calm, "No matter what you do to Rui'er, remember that." ”

When Xiao Wanyao returned to the palace, Xue Tianao sat in the dim light of the imperial study, as if he was deliberately waiting for her. There was no one else here except an inner prison who was waiting by his side, more like a deliberate arrangement.

She walked in slowly with the food box, her steps were very light, but she also hesitated, she was very anxious in her heart, knowing that he must have a lot to ask herself, and she also wanted how to perfunctory.

"Your Majesty......," she called softly.

The figure trapped in the darkness moved slightly, although he knew that it was her who came, but when she called out this sound, he couldn't help but be alarmed.

He slowly opened his eyes under the flickering light, his gaze was dyed with a tenderness, I don't know if it was because of the candlelight, or Xiao Wanyao was wrong, she lowered her head and walked over slowly, "I sat down and eaten, I heard that the emperor has been in a lot better these days, but he still can't eat, the emperor tastes it, it doesn't fit the taste." ”

She put the food box on the table, opened it slowly, and a familiar smell came, and she didn't often feel that it must be to taste. He didn't speak, and watched her set up the delicious food, and then he whispered, "Are you feeling better?" ”

"Much better!"

"Who saved you?"

Xiao Wanyao inquired from Ye Bing that Xue Tianao already knew about herself.

"Friends in the rivers and lakes." She replied simply, the answer she had already thought of.

Xue Tianao was silent for a moment, Yanran had wandered the rivers and lakes, belonged to the people in the rivers and lakes, and she had outstanding martial arts, so she must know people like her. In addition to herself, she must have many trustworthy friends, and he just treats Yanran as Xiao Wanyao.

Just to be able to see that face every day. However, he never cared about Yanran's past, and never inquired about it.

"Why don't you come to me?"

His words made her a little speechless, and she looked up at him in surprise. Xue Tianao casually picked up the dim sum on the table and tasted it, as if the question just now was just a casual question, and it didn't matter if he didn't answer it or not.

He just wanted to hide the concern in his heart, and he was warning himself at all times that the person in front of him was not Xiao Wanyao, but Yanran, preventing himself from completely treating her as her.

"The emperor should put the country first, it is not a good thing to have a dispute with the Seventh Prince now, this matter can be put aside for the time being, and it will be ...... in the future"

With a snap, Xue Tianao slammed his chopsticks on the table, Xiao Wanyao's body trembled, and he didn't know why he was so angry. He leaned back, leaning back in the dragon chair, his expression buried in darkness, and he couldn't see what he was like at the moment.

"When will it be your turn to judge my affairs?" Xue Tianao's cold voice echoed in this imperial study, with a touch of anger and anger.

Xiao Wanyao stopped talking, stood in place with her head bowed, she was always persuading Xue Tianao, whether it was taking care of herself, or in the harem, or even the minister of the court, she seemed to want to participate in all his affairs.

She cares about his daily life, how his appetite is, how his body is, and how he is in a good mood. But he had kept her here at first only as a drinking companion, and though it was only an excuse, she didn't have to do it.

For a long time, Xiao Wanyao stood there a little unbearable, the injury on her body was just right, she only returned to the palace after recuperating for more than a month, if it wasn't for her anxious to see him, how could such an injury take more than half a year.

"Do you like me?" Voices came from the darkness.

Xiao Wanyao's consciousness had already begun to focus on the pain in her body, Xue Tianao suddenly said this, she was suddenly stunned, as if she had heard it wrong, "What? ”

Xue Tianao's heart was bored, a little angry, and when he turned his head to look at her, he found that her pale and bloodless face was suddenly wrinkled, "Come here!" Sit here......" He shifted to the side, a space had been made available in the dragon chair, and he reached out and patted it.

Xiao Wanyao hesitated, her body was really a little unsupportable, in order not to faint here, she moved two steps to that side, walked in front of the dragon, hesitated again, and then slowly sat down.

It's just that she's next to the side, and her ass is only a little bit on the edge of the dragon chair, so she can take a break. R1154
