Chapter 202: Recall
The dead tree in front of the tent was piled up with snow, and the already blackened and withered branches looked even more fragile at this time, and the only remaining leaf on the tree was still crumbling in the wind and snow, and each time it thought it could not escape the impact again and again, but in the end it was unexpectedly tenacious.
Qing Li reached out to catch a snowflake that fell from the tree, watching it slowly melt in the palm of her hand, and unconsciously being embraced into an embrace, the familiar warmth made the corners of her lips lightly, and she leaned behind her with peace of mind.
Ling Yichen wiped the snow water that had melted into her palms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and hugged her a little tighter.
When I woke up and found that she was not by my side, my heart suddenly tightened, and when I saw the lonely back standing in the snow, I felt a pain in my chest.
"Li'er ......" He wanted to say something, only to realize that he was really stupid and didn't know what to say.
Feeling the cramped embarrassment of the person behind him, Qing Li turned around and turned back, the light smile on his lips was familiar and reassuring, and Ling Yichen's heart that had been hanging for a few days finally let go.
The slightly cool hand touched his cheek, the newly grown stubble made her palms a little itchy, she looked at him, shook her head and smiled, "I'm fine, you don't have to be too nervous." ”
Even though it is sad to lose a loved one, for grandpa, isn't it a relief?
In the dream, he smiled so happily, maybe it was really as he said, he was happy now......
Qing Li buried his face in Ling Yichen's chest, listened to the thumping heartbeat in his chest, and said lightly: "In this world, who can't live without it?" It's inevitable to be sad, but it's also temporary, grandpa he must want me to do well, right? ”
Ling Yichen didn't know how to answer, just hugged her in silence.
Who is gone, who can't live?
Would he still be able to live happily without her?
Ling Yichen was shocked by his own thoughts, and hurriedly shook his head. He hugged her hard, as if to use her presence to soothe his heart, which had just been messed up.
He didn't dare to think about going down......
A cold wind blew, and the person in her arms shrank her body, Ling Yichen realized that she had just recovered from a serious illness and couldn't blow the wind at all, so he hurriedly pulled her back to the camp. It's just that he faced Gao Ying, who was coming towards him.
Gao Ying's face was pale. Looking a little haggard, apparently she's not having a good time these days.
Qing Li patted Ling Yichen's hand, and he had no choice but to tighten the big on her body for her. Leave space to the two of them.
Gao Ying was a little cramped, she really didn't know how to face Qing Li.
Qing Han's death and Qing Luo's death can be said to be indirectly caused by her master. And she seems to have become a sinner......
Habitually keep your head down. Habitually clenching his fists, Gao Ying was picking at his palms with his nails again.
Walking over and breaking her fingers one by one, Qing Li looked at the palm that had broken the skin again, and sighed helplessly. "Ah Ying, your habit is really bad."
was still in such a gentle and ordinary tone, but Gao Ying seemed to be stunned. looked at her blankly, and there was surprise in her eyes. Wandering again.
The girl who used to be like a hedgehog is now like an abandoned kitten, with a heart full of holes hidden under her fragile skin.
"I'm sorry......" she choked and lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, waiting to be punished.
Qing Li sighed slightly in his heart, Ah Yi, what is wrong with her?
It's all the grievances and grievances of the previous life, and with the departure of those people, they have long been returned to dust, and now that I mention it, I can tell who is right and who is wrong?
The only people who are sad and sad will always be the living, and those who need to bear are not what she should bear......
Looking at her amusedly, Qing Li asked, "Why do you apologize?" What did you go wrong? ”
"I ......" Gao Ying was speechless, unable to say why.
Qing Li let out a long sigh, holding her hand tightly, forcing her to raise her head and look at herself.
The darkness and obscurity in his eyes had faded, only to add to it was utter helplessness and confusion.
"Aye, you're you! You're not anyone! You don't need to bear the fault for anyone, and you don't need to be responsible for whom, when, can you live for yourself and be the real you! ”
She can't see the joy of Gao Ying, she can't see everything she should have at her age, her world shouldn't be like this!
Qing Li sighed with emotion, and Gao Ying's head was buzzing, and he asked, "You, don't blame me?" ”
Even though she actually had the answer in her heart, she still looked at the clear eyes of the person in front of her for a moment.
Qing Li looked at her quietly, no hate, no pain, no pity, no sympathy, just like the most quiet lake in the world, in which, reflecting her description, thin lips lightly said: "It's all the past." ”
Before?
High nose tip sour.
She once heard her father say that her name was given by the master, and she was named E, hoping that she could be delicate and gentle, and she didn't need to be great, as long as she could live a life in peace and stability......
She suddenly remembered when she was a teenager, the carefree days on the mountain, where was she left to be happy?
Since the things around her have happened one by one, she has also gone farther and farther away from her former self.
Because of those damn pasts, she was obsessed with it, she couldn't let go of the shackles and burdens on her body, and she created herself today, contrary to Master's original expectations, who can she blame?
Gao Ying cried, and he didn't cry for a few days, but at this time, tears burst like a.
She hugged Qing Li, just like when she was wronged when she was a child and cried with her eldest sister, she didn't know what it was, she couldn't understand it, she couldn't distinguish it, but the venting cry still disturbed others.
Nangong Yue looked at Gao Ying from a distance, she cried loudly like that, she was very different from the stubborn girl before, but it made him feel even more distressed.
The sunlight unconsciously penetrated the clouds, Gao Ying sniffed, looked apologetically at the wet clothes in front of Qing Li, and scratched his head uncomfortably.
That awkward look was really cute, Qing Li couldn't help but smile, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, and asked softly, "Do you have any plans?" ”
The crying eyes are clean and clear, like lead washing, round and happy.
Gao Ying wiped her tears casually and sighed, "I don't have anything to worry about now, I just want to go home to accompany my mother, who is getting older." The body is not very good, and I couldn't take a good time around my knees in the past, and I want to do my filial piety in the future. ”
After a pause, she smiled again: "Maybe in two years, I will become my own child, I am too tired, and I just want to live an ordinary life in peace in the future." ”
Qing Li raised his eyebrows. glanced at the figure that was frequently looking in the distance. Attached to the ear said: "The young general is actually a good person......
She felt that Gao Ying's body was a little stiff, and her expression seemed unnatural, and she suddenly felt that there was a play.
Gao Ying choked. Dry smile: "I, I know, he ...... He's a nice guy......"
comforted her clumsily in the imperial mausoleum that day, and hugged her dead after being involved in the cold pool and refused to give her hand. And from time to time he came up to her and smirked twice, although he was very bad. But...... It's also very impressive.
She raised a big smile, "Li, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I'm just now feeling a little homesick." I want to go back quickly. "The wandering and lonely heart can only find support when you get home.
Qing Li naturally said yes. I wish her a smooth journey.
Later, seeing Gao Ying, he seemed to walk in front of Nangong Yue and said something. The man was like a stunned log, and soon jumped up again with joy, and followed Gao Ying.
Qing Li looked up at the sunlight and closed his eyes.
Is everything going in a good direction? Why is she gradually restless......
Not two days after Gao Yi left, Xichuan sent troops to fight again, this time they recruited troops across the country, and soon gathered 100,000, and another big war began.
But after all, it is a militia, and it is naturally much worse than the soldiers from the military camp, and the old general Yuan, who is close to the sixtieth year, is back in command, and Ling Yichen is not allowed to face the battle.
In order to prevent future troubles, this battle ink seized the opportunity, and even relied on the blown tunnels to directly approach the enemy's lair, and then forced into Xichuan Kyoto and smashed Huanglong.
Ling Yichen's purpose was very simple, to end this war as soon as possible and calm the chaos.
He never thought of annexing Xichuan, since this country has existed for hundreds of years, it naturally has its strength, and it is not something they could conquer in this short period of time.
He didn't want the war to bring more casualties, both his own side and the enemy's side, which had lasted for more than a decade, were exhausted.
However, the regent of Prince Xichuan Rong doomed this war to be protracted, and Ling Yichen wanted to do it once and for all, only to invade the imperial city and coerce them to sign a treaty of peaceful coexistence.
Xichuan has never had a foreign enemy invade due to the obstruction of Langya Snow Mountain, and this raid of ink and wash undoubtedly caught him off guard, so he had to deal with it, and the war is continuing......
Qing Li was left in the camp tent, boredly flipping through the books.
Of course, Ling Yichen wouldn't take her with him, but left a few guards for her to recuperate.
The wound on the shoulder had long since healed and scabbed, and there was no obstacle to ordinary movements, but someone was still worried, and as a result, she had to talk to An Ning to relieve her fatigue in this obviously less popular military camp.
In the quiet afternoon, the sun shone on the snow, and it was extremely dazzling.
The sky is full of white, and it is excellent to look at it when it is fresh, and it will be tired all day long. Qing Li was about to go back to the tent, but suddenly a group of people rushed to her side, and even disturbed Ziya and Wang Bo in the dark, protecting her from left to right.
Since she was injured, not only Ling Yichen was extremely careful, but even Ziya Wang Bo and the others were also, but the person who came didn't seem to have malicious intent, and Qing Li signaled that they didn't need to be so nervous.
Among the panicked people, she saw a familiar one, it was Deputy General Han who stayed in the camp, I remember that he was a reckless and arrogant man, and he was the kind who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but now he was in a hurry, but he didn't know what was urgent.
Vice General Han hurried over and said, "Princess, the emperor has an edict." ”
At the mention of the word emperor, Qing Li had a bad intuition, and squinted slightly behind him, only to see that it was a chamberlain with a white face and a small figure, and a few escort guards.
The chamberlain saw Qing Li and hurriedly stepped forward, "The princess, our family is under the emperor's command, the queen mother is seriously ill and difficult to treat, so I specially invite the princess to return to Beijing for diagnosis and treatment!" As he spoke, he took out the gold medal to show that what he said was true.
Ling Yichen happened to be marching outside, leaving her in the barracks, and it happened at this time that the word was passed on, and Qing Li couldn't feel that something was right.
Ling Chu wasn't calculating, was he......
Qing Li Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, but the chamberlain didn't get a response, he was anxious for a moment, and said with a straight face: "The princess! The queen mother's illness cannot be delayed, and the emperor ordered you to leave, if the treatment is delayed. But what a sin! ”
What a big hat......
Qingli hooked the corners of his lips, "There is a father-in-law, let Qingli go and pack up, and set off with his father-in-law immediately." ”
"No need to clean up! It's better for the princess to set off as soon as possible! "The chamberlain didn't seem to be able to wait for a moment.
Qing Li's eyes turned cold, and he said solemnly: "Father-in-law, Qing Li is going to treat the Queen Mother, if you don't pack up the medicine." And how should it be governed? There was a delay. But is the father-in-law responsible? ”
The chamberlain was suddenly frightened, lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Qing Li entered the camp tent and was not in a hurry to clean up. Instead, he wrote letters, one after another, sealed with red paint.
Ling Chu recruited her back to Beijing at this time, but she was afraid that the medical treatment would be fake. The others are true, and she has a little clue about why. But it can't let him succeed so easily.
Of those letters, one was given to Wang Bo and asked him to hand it over to Xi Yan, and the other was given to Mu Cang, the secret guard that Ling Yichen left for her. asked him to wait for the war to be handed over to him, and one letter was given to Ziya, and let him go back to the capital and hand it over to Uncle Zhong.
After hastily arranging it. Qing Li followed the group and left, and even informed Vice General Han. Don't tell Ling Yichen about this.
Now that the battle was at its most intense, she didn't want him to be distracted.
It's just that this time, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to get out of the way......
After more than ten days of traveling, he finally arrived in Kyoto, Qing Li went directly into the palace, because the guards and maids were not allowed to follow, and returned to the palace peacefully, while Ziya and Wang Bo went to do other things.
The Empress Dowager's Cirui Palace seems to be heavier than usual, and the pear trees in the garden are stained with snow, as if it is really a thousand trees in full bloom in spring, but Qing Li is no longer in the mood to appreciate it.
She had only been to Cirui Palace once, and that time she had come with Ling Yichen, not to mention that she was not careless at that time, so now she only feels the same strangeness.
As soon as she stepped into the door, a grandmother came out to greet her, and when she saw Qing Li, she immediately cried and howled like she had seen her ancestors, Qing Li didn't take it to heart, but she also found that she followed her all the way and didn't see Mama Li.
Mama Li is the closest person to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is sick, and now she is not seen in Cirui Palace, but what do people think?
Qing Li walked to the inner room, bypassed the screen, and saw the Queen Mother lying on the bed through the heavy curtains.
went up and lifted the curtain, and saw the Queen Mother lying ruddy on her face, breathing evenly, and then probing her pulse, she immediately frowned.
"How? The queen mother is fine, right? Ling Chu, who had already entered the house at some point, sat at the table, but he looked at her lightly, and the palace attendants in the house retreated one after another.
What does that mean?
The corners of Qing Li's lips were slightly hooked, and he bowed shortly, "The emperor is safe." ”
Ling Chu stroked the beard on his lips and waved his hand, "Don't be polite, I only ask how the queen mother is?" ”
His expression was ordinary, he didn't see many expressions of eagerness, his face was ruddy and oily, but it was just a false surface, and Qing Li didn't want to investigate how much he lost money inside.
"Didn't the emperor know what happened to the Queen Mother?" Everyone is gone, and she doesn't want to play dumb riddles, this person's purpose is obvious, but he wants a recipe.
Ling Chu didn't understand, and frowned, "What did the princess say?" If I knew what happened to the Queen Mother, could I still summon you back in such a hurry? ”
Although he said kind words, the essence in his eyes was faintly greedy.
Qing Li sighed, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is old and can't stand the toss, so the drug that made her sleepy should be withdrawn as soon as possible." ”
The Queen Mother was not sick at all, she was breathing and had a calm pulse, but she couldn't wake up after taking an overdose of drugs.
In order to summon her back to Beijing, even her biological mother can use it, what else can't he do!
Ling Chu laughed when he heard this, and clapped his hands, "Sure enough, he is a member of the Qing family, and his medical skills are not ordinary." He stood up, walked up to Qing Li, and said with a low smile: "The princess is so smart, but I thought of it, why did I go to such great lengths to summon you back?" ”
Qing Li looked at him without hesitation, and also slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "Well, doesn't the emperor have an answer in his heart?" Aren't you doing this too much now? ”
What could he do? As long as he is not a plaything and a discouraged emperor, he will inevitably have a little ambition and dream of dominating the future.
How big can the charm of that explosive be for Ling Chu, how could she not know?
But since she decided to keep it a secret, how could she spread this recipe so easily? What does not belong to this era should not appear, and if it does, it will only be a disaster.
How fortunate she was. Blessed by God, I can live again! If she disturbs the balance of this world, she doesn't know if she will be punished. In this world, there are also things that she is reluctant to give up and does not want to leave......
Ling Chu's face changed, and he was gloomy, looking at her domineeringly. Said sharply: "Qing Li." Do you know who you're talking to? Do you believe it or not, I can crush you to death with a single finger? ”
He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Qing Li's neck. It wasn't too hard, the warmth on the palm of his hand let Qing Li know that Ling Chu's body was really almost an empty shelf now......
Of course, she didn't have to worry that Ling Chu would really kill her. How could he let her die before he got what he wanted?
Qing Li is self-sustaining this. Only then did Ling Chu realize that Ling Chu didn't have the courage to move her at all, and looked at those eyes full of anger with a slight sneer, how could he feel ridiculous.
The sarcasm on her lips made Ling Chu angry, and he took Qing Li to the ground. Condescendingly, he stared at him, "Qing Li, don't challenge my bottom line of forbearance!" ”
The impact was too great, and Qing Li's left shoulder was aching again. She looked up at the paper tiger and was unimpressed.
"Qing Li!" Ling Chu shouted.
That's the only way to do it. can barely regain a little self-confidence.
That's right, he can't touch her, he doesn't know what this woman is afraid of, because in her, as if there is no desire and no desire, he can't tell the weakness of this woman!
He is determined to win that thing, Qing Li, he does have the capital to shout with him!
After taking a few breaths hard, Ling Chu stared at her with cold eyes, "Qing Li, believe it or not, everything in your Qing family, as long as I say a word, will come to naught?" "The family should be important to her......
"Of course, the emperor's ninety-five honor naturally has this ability." Qing Li did not shy away from sitting on the ground and shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly.
Family business, money, for her, is just dispensable, the Qing family is now the only one left, what else does she care?
Ling Chu's face darkened, and she didn't seem to care about it, but she was out of luck for a while.
really went to raid Qing's house, but I was afraid that it would make Qing Li even harder-mouthed, and he had to think about it in the long run......
Ling Chu narrowed his eyes and turned his back to her, "The princess is tired, she needs to rest, the queen mother's illness is not a matter of one or two days, let's live in Cirui Palace these days......"
He strode away and closed the door.
Qing Li could feel that outside the door, there were layers of Yulin Army surrounded by layers, and it was really impossible to escape.
Ling Chu is really heartbroken, so she will grind with him!
The days of house arrest were indeed boring, Ling Chu served her with good food and drink, without any slackness, only came over from time to time to ask questions, and the final result was nothing more than a black face and angry departure.
She could feel that Ling Chu's patience was running out little by little, she didn't know what he would do when he went crazy, all she could do now was gamble.
The world of Cirui Palace is isolated from the outside, and Qing Li doesn't know what's going on outside.
The Queen Mother is still taking drugs every day, there is no solution to this thing, and she can only digest it a little bit by her body, but Rao is like this, every day there will still be a maid who will personally stare at the Queen Mother and use the soup full of drugs.
In Ling Chu's words, if Qing Li doesn't say a prescription for a day, this medicine won't stop for a day! This is nothing more than a harm to the Queen Mother's body, and when the time comes, it will be another life!
Only then did Qing Li realize how crazy Ling Chu was! Even his own biological mother can be treated like this! Sure enough, the royal family has no true feelings to speak of......
She really couldn't bear to watch the Queen Mother being destroyed day by day, but even if she could do something, the medicine box, needles, bags, etc. she brought were all collected, and she was really embarrassed to cook without rice......
There was a "squeak" and the door opened.
Qing Li saw that it was still the palace maid who had been delivering food, so he only glanced at her and stopped looking at her, picked up the Buddhist books and scriptures collected in the Queen Mother's palace, and was bored when he was bored.
The palace maid walked in with a food box as before, but that step seemed a little unusual.
The palace maid walked before, heavy and powerful, but today, even if she deliberately covered it up, her steps were still a little light.
Qing Li paid attention and did not show it.
She didn't know who it was, but at least, there was no malice......
"Princess, ...... with food" has a soft voice, which is the same as what you usually hear, and it is said that it is a ventriloquist to be able to do this.
Qing Li raised his eyes and smiled at her, but just at this glance, he found the surprise and blazing in the eyes of the palace maid, those beautiful and moving peach blossom eyes, thick as mist, dark and bottomless, containing endless things.
Very familiar, where have you seen it...... (To be continued)
