113. Torment
Although she knew that Empress Wu might not think so in her heart, she could say this, and Li Zhi's heart was still a little better. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ming literature." Li Zhi sat up, turned his head to Ming Chongyan and said, "Why hasn't your medicine worked before?" ”
Ming Chongyan bowed slightly: "Everyone's illness is mainly in one word, and the medicine stone is just playing an auxiliary role." Chongyan once said that it is especially important for everyone to avoid worrying and thinking, avoid excitement, and be calm. ”
Li Zhi was recently overjoyed by the pacification of Goguryeo, and then saddened by the death of Mrs. Zheng Guo. Emotional agitation is a taboo for wind vertigo, and the failure to burst blood vessels is already the credit of his medicine.
Of course, Ming Chongyan didn't dare to say this openly.
Li Zhi frowned and said, "Then change the way." ”
Ming Chongyan said calmly: "Change the prescription, everyone's illness still needs to be recuperated, and it can't be effective for a while." I'm afraid that it will be exchanged for it, but it will delay the hour. ”
Li Zhi glanced at Empress Wu, then turned his gaze to Ming Chongyan, and joked: "Ming literature can detain ghosts and gods, but can't it cure me?" ”
Ming Chongyan bowed and did not speak.
Empress Wu persuaded on the side: "Everyone, didn't Ming Literature say, your illness is seven points of nourishment and three points of treatment." Besides, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, and there is no urgency. ”
Li Zhi fell back on the couch, looked at the top of the tent fixedly, and stopped talking.
Empress Wu glanced at Ming Chongyan, Ming Chongyan understood, saluted Li Zhi and Empress Wu, and quietly withdrew.
"If you don't think I'm stupid, let me try it myself." Empress Wu said softly.
Li Zhi didn't say yes, but he didn't object, so Empress Wu rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her hands, warmed them on her lips, and then gently pressed them on Li Zhi's forehead.
She clearly felt that Li Zhi's body stiffened.
Although it was only for a moment, the Empress Wu's heart still swelled with indescribable melancholy.
They used to be such a loving couple.
Li Zhizhen didn't expect that Empress Wu's massage technique was really good. However, after a little half a cup of tea, he already felt a lot more relaxed.
"I thought the queen only had political affairs in her eyes, but I didn't expect that she would also massage." He said half-mockingly.
Empress Wu smiled and said, "Are you complaining about me?" I'll know more, you don't know. After a pause, she sighed lightly, "I learned it for everyone, but speaking of which, I was still before my sister, but everyone refused to give me a chance." ”
Li Zhi frowned unconsciously, but did not speak.
Empress Wu said: "Everyone says that I only have political affairs in my eyes, and I am just a harem woman, where will I deal with political affairs?" It's just to share everyone's worries, everyone opened their mouths that day, and they had to face the difficulties head-on. ”
Seeing Empress Wu mention the past, Li Zhi's heart couldn't help but move. He knew what the queen wanted him to say, but he held his breath in his heart and was reluctant to say it.
The atmosphere between husband and wife was a little stagnant for a while.
Li Zhi simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Empress Wu stopped talking, but continued to massage him without hurrying.
The queen's methods are indeed good.
When did you learn it?
Shun Niang said that she had studied with the massage doctor of Tai Hospital for several months to have such skills.
Shun Niang is just a harem woman, and there is more time. And the queen was busy with court affairs......
Li Zhi sighed in his heart and wanted to pat the queen's hand to show comfort, but before his hand moved, he dispelled the idea.
It's better to continue pretending to be asleep.
He really fell asleep.
Empress Wu lowered her eyes and looked at him, the slightly chubby and gloomy face in front of her was really difficult to combine with the handsome face in her memory.
She let out a long sigh in her heart.
Seeing Zhu Chengbi's thoughts, he was haggard and fragmented as Yijun.
I didn't believe that I would cry more than I came, and I opened the box and inspected the pomegranate skirt.
Empress Wu put down her pen and cleaned her hands under the service of the palace people. The two palace people held her hand on the left and the right, wiped it clean with a silk handkerchief, and carefully applied a layer of hand grease.
After the palace people retreated, Empress Wu opened her ten fingers, looked at her hands, and smiled at Ming Chongyan: "I'm old, no matter how much I maintain it, I can't return to the state I was in when I was young." ”
Ming Chongyan bowed slightly and did not speak.
Empress Wu had long been accustomed to his attitude, and she didn't think it was wrong.
What she wanted was originally a listener, Ming Chongyan was smart and quick-witted, but she was cautious in her words and deeds, but she was not stingy with words when it was critical, and she was often able to point out the puzzle with a few simple words.
It is the person who the Empress Wu needs most at the moment.
Empress Wu turned to the bookcase, read the poem she had just written, a slight smile on the corner of her lips, and said slowly: "This is the poem that I gave to the saint when I was in Ganye Temple. ”
It is said that when Li Zhi saw this poem, he cried loudly, and when he found an opportunity, he hurried to Ganye Temple, hugged her and cried again.
But she didn't return to the palace as she wished, Li Zhi put his arm around her shoulder and said that he had a lot of last resort, although he hated to stay with her every day, but the matter of returning to the palace was in no hurry, and he had to think about it in the long run.
She was very disappointed in her heart, but she could only comfort Li Zhi with a smile, saying that she was not in a hurry, as long as Li Zhi had her in her heart, she would not forget to come to see her when she had time, and she didn't care if she returned to the palace or not.
How can it not matter?
"Chongyan, you don't know how hateful those sisters-in-law, who talk about mercy in their mouths, in private to us poor people who have been expelled from the palace. They are already mean, and the saints come and go, and they are even more mean to me......"
"This woman is so fierce that even a man has to sigh to himself." Empress Wu said with a smile, "The Vi brothers have taught me that I must not be soft on the enemy. The sisters-in-law of Ganye Temple taught me again that I should not be soft on women. ”
Empress Wu seemed to think it was funny: "Look at it, those who taught me these truths are my enemies." I know they hate me and curse me when they die. If they knew that they had taught me what to do with them, what would they think? ”
Ming Chongyan said lightly: "Becoming a king or defeating a king, what do they think, why bother?" ”
Empress Wu looked at Ming Chongyan with appreciation: "Still Chongyan understands." She sneered, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were fierce, "It's ridiculous that those foolish people openly and secretly say that I am vicious." Why don't you think that if it were me who lost, they would let me go? Or in the eyes of the world, I'm the damned one? They want to harm me, and if I don't lead the neck and be slain, is it an abomination? It's really a good mouthful, why don't you want to think about it, if you change yourself, you are willing to let others slaughter you? ”
Empress Wu blushed angrily, but Ming Chongyan was still unhurried: "The world is stupid, and they only know that they are for their own selfish interests, and they are flies and dogs." He misbehaves, but he likes to stand on a moral high plane and accuse others. The queen knows that the world is confused, so why bother? ”
Empress Wu's eyes were red: "It's okay for others......" It's just Li Zhi, all the things that day, it was obvious that the two of them advanced and retreated together, and they worked hard to create this good situation, how did they end up, didn't they all become hers?
On that day in Ganye Temple, when she heard that Li Zhi was coming, she was full of hope, but what she didn't expect was disappointment, and in order to comfort him, she had to pretend to be light-hearted.
Every time we get together, it can be said that it is a torment.
