As Fu Sheng came to the Qin Palace, Xun Jiu looked at the sky after eating, and it was still early, she raised her eyebrows and looked at him sitting opposite, "Before entering the palace, you said that you wanted to take me to a place, when can you leave?" ”

"Have you eaten enough?" He asked with a smile on his face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's full." Xun Jiu chuckled, "Why are you like asking a child, I'm such a big person, can I still starve myself?" ”

"Aren't you just a child?" Fu Sheng looked at her seriously, and then sighed slightly, "I thought that I would get married soon, but I saw that you were still so thin, and I suddenly felt a little unbearable." ”

"You're right, I raise my hands and feet in agreement." Xun Jiu blinked, "I've only been around for a short time, so you don't plan to raise it anymore?" ”

"Can't wait." He smiled lightly, "You can't wait another day." ”

Xun Jiu lowered his little face, pursed his lips, and pretended to show an aggrieved look, "Then you didn't say that I was just a child, how could you bear to treat me like this?" ”

"But you've done to me more than once what grown-ups would do." Fu Sheng looked at her pouting angrily, and couldn't help laughing, and laughed lowly.

As soon as he mentioned this, Xun Jiu's face immediately flushed with shame, and he glared at him fiercely, "It's eight hundred years ago, why do you keep taking it out!" ”

"Not early." Fu Sheng said softly: "I still remember how many days and hours have passed, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Xun Jiu was ashamed and indignant, his head drooped vigorously, he didn't want to look at him, and scolded angrily: "You will bully me!" ”

Fu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "This is probably my only hobby. ”

Xun Jiu: "......"

In front of this person, she has always had the upper hand, and she can't ask for any benefits in words, and she will be teased back every time in action.

After thinking about it, Xun Jiu was completely deflated, and looked at him angrily, "You haven't said it yet, where are you going to take me?" ”

"Actually, I didn't plan to take you too far." Fu Sheng curled his lips happily, "We won't go anywhere else today, just in the mansion, the back garden of King Qin's mansion, presumably you haven't been there yet." ”

Xun Jiu was stunned for a moment, and after saying it for a long time, he didn't plan to take her out of the house?

"What's in the back garden?" Xun Jiu's eyes flickered, and he secretly wondered if he would just let her go to the garden to sit and sit, right?

"You'll know when you go." Fu Sheng stood up, took a cloak of emerald brocade and satin from the closet, put it on her, and then gently took her hand and walked out the door.

The dumb servant had already prepared his shoulders.

Fu Sheng helped Xun Jiu to sit up first, and then he sat next to her, and the dumb servants raised their shoulders and slowly walked to the back garden.

Xun Jiu glanced at him sideways, and saw that he was always smiling, and he couldn't see any emotion, so she turned her head and looked around.

To be honest, she has been to the Qin Wangfu many times, but it is the first time that she has used her spare time to visit like today.

The Qin Palace's vast area is unprecedented in the prince's mansions of all dynasties, and its magnificence is needless to say.

Shoulder all the way through pavilions, rockery lotus ponds, and finally stop in front of a clear artificial canal.

It is late autumn, there are patches of maple forests planted on both sides, the fiery red maple leaves are whirling and falling under the cold wind, falling straight to the clear water surface, rippling through layers of water waves, lined by maple leaves, like red glass.

On the side of the bluestone steps, there is a canopy boat docked, and the person supporting the boat is Shang Yi.

This scene...... How to look at how familiar.

Xun Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Fu Sheng, "...... are you?"

Fu Sheng explained with a smile, "You once said that you missed the night we first met, and you wanted to take a canopy boat to see the scenery on the banks of the Ru River, but I didn't want you to run so far, so I simply fulfilled your wish in your own house." ”

Shang Yi smiled and grimaced at Xun Jiu, "Little squeak, you still haven't come down?" Your Highness will be angry later. ”

Xun Jiu sneered, unexpectedly thinking that on the night of the first acquaintance, she borrowed Zhengyi's clothes to stand on the stone bridge, and was mistaken for Zhengyi by the little fat face, and as a result, she made a big fuss.

"Get on board." Fu Sheng smiled at her.

Xun Jiu was not polite, he slowly walked up with his skirt, lifted the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei and entered the cabin, and saw a small stove placed inside, on which a pot of sweet fruit wine was warmed, and on the table next to it, three or four plates were placed, and different kinds of delicate pastries were placed in the plates.

Although Xun Jiu had eaten, he couldn't help but have an appetite when he saw the scene in front of him.

The two sat across the stove on a bamboo mat.

Fu Sheng deliberately rolled up the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei on the other end, so that she could better watch the scenery outside, and said softly: "Actually, the scenery on both sides of the ditch of the Qin Wangfu is also good. ”

Xun Jiu looked at the crimson glass color of the lake and nodded.

Such scenery is indeed rare.

Shang Yi began to rock, the canopy boat slowly meandered to the depths of the ditch, after the maple forest, the small hills that were artificially piled up on both sides of the bank gradually appeared in the forest, the shape is different, the height is staggered, the distance is towering, occasionally there are birds flying, the delicate cry is gentle and crisp, making people think that they are really in the source of the world in a trance.

Such a scenery is really amazing, and after taking the blue glass bottle with steaming fruit wine handed by Fusheng, Xun Jiu asked: "Who arranged these scenes in the garden?" ”

"Guess." Fu Sheng hooked the corners of his lips lightly, and smiled gently but intriguingly.

Xun Jiu almost lost her mind, and quickly withdrew her eyes, she quickly drank the fruit wine in the white jade cup, and barely calmed down the accelerated heartbeat before saying: "Listening to this tone, it should be arranged by yourself." ”

"If I had known that this place would one day be inhabited by a hostess, I would have waited until you came, and you would have arranged it yourself." He looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait, and every word was like a pair of gentle hands caressing her softest heart.

If you had known that this place would one day live in the hostess's ......?

Fu Sheng noticed Xun Jiu's puzzled gaze, and he explained with a smile, "Before I met you, I never thought of asking for a woman, let alone playing a political marriage with anyone. ”

This sentence...... Is it a disguised confession?

Xun Jiu's heart, which had already calmed down, became hot again, overflowing with indescribable sweetness.

Fu Sheng is such a person, he doesn't say love, he doesn't say he likes it, but he always inadvertently reveals the kind of extremely subtle, subtle and most touching feelings.

Perhaps, the most touching love words in the world are not "I love you", nor "I like you", let alone "I can't live without you", but "As long as I am here, you will not be without a home".

The warmth, love and distress he gave her have always been as pervasive and meticulous as a spring breeze.

At the time, I may have thought it was nothing, but when I thought about it carefully, I felt that my heart was warmed.

took a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, Xun Jiu secretly thought that he could meet him in this life, thinking that he had practiced medicine to save people in his previous life, and he had done a lot of virtue.

Thinking like this, Xun Jiu unconsciously laughed.

When Fu Sheng heard this, he was stunned and looked over, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Well, it's nothing, I just thought it was very interesting to see a few red swimming fish in the water." She coughed, a serious explanation.

Xun Jiu originally wanted to tell him about the touches in his heart, but after thinking about it, when he encountered this kind of thing, he seemed to have a problem with poor words, and he couldn't say sweet words, after all, the two got along from the beginning of the mode of bickering all day long, and when it was time to confess, they realized that the language was so pale, no matter how much they said, they couldn't express the true thoughts in their hearts.

Wan Er smiled, she said: "I like these things you design very much, maybe you can stay until I come over, my design may not be as beautiful as yours." ”

He shook his head slightly, "That's different. ”

"How is it different?" She asked.

"You're always involved." He replied seriously.

This sentence moved Xun Jiu silently again, and he suddenly remembered that night in front of Yusheng's bed, she had promised Gong Yi's words.

When she first thought of this, she heard the clear and beautiful voice of Fusheng in her ears.

"There will be no second Fusheng in this world, and there will be no one who can repeat that time in my life - the god who dwells in the clouds, when the world forsaken me, held me to the sky with his warm hands, equal to him. Therefore, I will hold a heart to make up for his past that I have not had time to participate in. After finishing speaking, Fu Sheng raised his soft eyes to look at her, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, "For a long time, although these words are not the most touching I have ever heard, I have listened to them very well." ”

Xun Jiu suddenly blushed, thinking that Gong Yi was too unkind, and even told Fu Sheng her words word for word, and now that he said it, he felt a little debunked in public, which made Xun Jiu feel extremely embarrassed.

Then she reacted, "Huh? You said that those words are not the most touching words you have ever heard, so what are the most touching words you have ever heard? ”

Fu Sheng picked up the blue glass cup, the wine cup was steaming hot, steaming his god-like face a little blurred, taking a sip of wine, he slowly spoke, "It was when you entered the palace that time, you said in the carriage: Don't be afraid, I am here." ”

Xun Jiu was stunned.

It turns out that he thinks these five words are the most moving?

Actually, there is nothing in these words, maybe he thought of the pain and torture he had suffered in the palace of King Wei before, so he felt this way, right?

Bending his lips, Xun Jiu said: "I'm not wrong, haven't I been by your side all along?" ”

"Hmm." He bowed his head slightly, "I know you've always been there." ”

The canopy boat was still moving forward, and the scenery outside had long since changed from an undulating hill to a large forest with a tall canopy, fern-like leaves, and capsule.

Xun Jiu saw that the tree was very familiar, and after taking a look, he desperately searched in his mind for what he knew about it in his previous life. Suddenly, she pointed to the large woods outside and exclaimed, "That's a jacaranda!" How can you have here, and there are so many! ”

"You like this kind of tree?" Fusheng looked outside, then at her.

"I like it!" Xun Jiu replied: "Every year in April and May, a piece of jacaranda blooms together, and a large number of purple petals are intertwined and scattered, fluttering lightly with the wind. ”

"Oh." Fu Sheng replied calmly, "I probably bloomed once last year, I didn't pay much attention to it, or Shangyi told me, but at that time I was busy with government affairs and didn't have time to come to the back garden to see, and now I hear you say, it seems to be beautiful?" ”

Xun Jiu smiled, his heart is very beautiful, and he wants to watch it with you, how boring it is to watch alone!

"This is a tree species endemic to the country of Min." Fu Sheng added: "When I built the Qin Wang's Mansion, I don't know where the craftsmen got it, and it didn't bloom at that time, as now, I thought its leaves were very special, so I arranged it in the back garden, I didn't expect you to like it today." ”

"Minguo ......" Xun Jiu listened to this name, and always felt that he was very, very familiar subconsciously, and there was an extremely inexplicable emotion in his heart, that feeling, as if she had really been to Minguo, but the memories of the original body from childhood to adulthood showed that she had never left Yanjing City.

Shaking his head, Xun Jiu felt that he was thinking too much.

"So, every year when the jacaranda flowers come, do you have this kind of flower on the streets and alleys of Minguo?" She asked, blinking.

"I haven't been to Minguo, but jacaranda is the national flower of Minguo, and I think it should be as you said, the flowering period is very beautiful." After finishing speaking, Fu Sheng's face was a little puzzled, "Have you seen this kind of flower before?" ”

"I've heard of it." Xun Jiu hung her head stupidly, she couldn't say that she had seen it in her previous life, right?

"But I see you like it very much." Fu Sheng said again.

Xun didn't speak for a long time, the jacaranda is beautiful, but the flower language is not very good - love waiting in despair.

In her previous life, she only thought the flowering period was beautiful, but she didn't like it when she saw it like now.

And the original body has indeed never seen a jacaranda in this world.

So, why does she subconsciously have a soft spot for this flower?!

The more Xun Jiu thought about it, the more he felt that his brain was almost no longer his own.

Biting his lower lip gently, Xun Jiu stiffened his head and said, "I probably heard people describe it so beautifully, so I won't unconsciously overlook for it." ”

This explanation is barely acceptable.

Fu Sheng didn't ask anymore and jumped away from the topic, "There is a pavilion in the woods, do you want to go up and sit?" ”

"No, no." Xun Jiu was still immersed in that inexplicable emotion, and when he heard Fu Sheng's invitation at first glance, he refused without thinking about it, "It's been out for so long, it's almost time, I have to go back to prepare later, so as not to miss anything, and it will be troublesome to come back when I have surgery tomorrow." ”

"It's fine." Fu Sheng replied lightly.

Shang Yi propped the boat forward again, and not long after, he was stopped by Fusheng, turned around and turned back.

The wind is set and the flowers are deep, and the curtain is surrounded by red snow.

In the Yongxue Pavilion named after this sentence, the bronze incense burner is still incense, accompanied by Jiang Yichu's slender fingers flying on the black lacquered paulownia wood five-stringed piano, quite a kind of "Qinglou oblique shadow is sparse, and the lover is like the first look".

The empress knelt on the bamboo mat with the hand warmer sent by Hua Rou herself, quietly listening to this song of his self-created "Memories of Appearance", those past that can never be repeated again, scene by scene in her mind, unconsciously, her eyes were wet.

Hua Rou was extremely careful, although she was standing far away outside the pavilion, but her eyes were looking at the direction of the empress from time to time, and at this moment, she could see that the empress's aura was dark, faintly revealing a little sadness, and she was shocked, and she was a little secretly annoyed that Jiang Yichu actually played this kind of music in front of His Majesty to distract her.

Moving his steps, Hua Rouge stepped forward and called softly: "Your Majesty, if it is late today, you should go back and rest." ”

The empress pulled back her senses from the emptiness of her thoughts, blinked her eyes quickly a few times, and forced back the fragility that those emperors couldn't have, and when she looked up again, she smiled and said to Jiang Yichu: "I like your song very much." ”

"It is an honor for the minister to be able to smile at His Majesty." Jiang Yichu stood up and shook it.

In front of the flower resin, he can't call the empress in small characters, and the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be exceeded.

"Alright, that's all for today." The empress said, and stood up with the help of the flower resin, "I am also a little tired, in order to cooperate with Xun Jiu's surgery tomorrow, I will go back to rest earlier, if it is not early today, while the palace gate has not yet fallen the key, Prime Minister Jiang Cheng will go back quickly." ”

"Obey." Jiang Yichu took it as a courtesy, and when he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth unexpectedly curved with a touch of pleasure.

Today's getting along has already exceeded his expectations too much, and this hard-won relationship needs to be carefully guarded.

Even if...... There is a huge disparity between him and her.

There was no way she could let him enter the palace to be one in three thousand, and he could not marry her home.

Between them, they can go beyond friends to reach lovers, but they can never become husband and wife.

Now that she knows that she has herself in her heart, this is enough, and there is no need for too much.

Seeing the figure of the empress gradually disappear, Jiang Yichu slowly walked out of the pavilion and walked in the direction of the palace gate.

==

September 22 is an auspicious day for the zodiac that the high priest himself divined for seeking healing.

Early in the morning, Xun Jiu and six witch doctors arrived at the operating room arranged by Fu Sheng and stood still.

This operation is very important, although it is said that Mrs. Qi has experience in the past, but when they think of the fact that they are about to be operated on, and everyone has signed the life and death certificate, the faces of the witch doctors all appear a little nervous.

Xun Jiu saw that the empress hadn't come over yet, so he walked in front of everyone and comforted them one by one, "Don't worry, we already have the experience of the last time, and I believe that this time we can take out that thing more smoothly." ”

The witch doctors nodded.

At this moment, Xun Jiu is their backbone, and Xun Jiu's words can undoubtedly play a more stabilizing role.

Seeing her calm face, the six of them thought that they were sure that they were already sure, so they all relaxed their hearts.

The empress came over by the imperial chariot and had already put on a special hospital gown according to Xun Jiu's wishes.

The layout of the operating room was the same as that of Mrs. Qi at that time, and the air was still slightly astringent with the smell of vinegar and boiling water and alcohol.

After placing the empress on the operating table, Xun Jiu prepared to anesthetize her.

"Xun Jiu." The empress suddenly whispered to her, "I have something to say to you alone." ”

The witch doctors closed the door and withdrew.

Xun Jiu approached the empress, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

"I asked someone to draw up an edict." The empress said calmly: "In addition to the edict, there is also a private letter, which will be placed in the emperor's bedroom, if ...... If I can't get out alive after a while, you can find out the edict and hand it to Zichu, and I will give you that private message alone, and no one can read it except you. ”

"Your Majesty......" Xun Jiu felt a pain in his heart, and his tone contained reproach, "How can you prepare these things?" If you can't get out alive, it means that all seven of us will bury you with you, and you are not only cursing yourself, but also cursing us, what edicts, what private messages, I don't follow, you are just a patient now, a patient that I am sure to heal, as the attending doctor, I now order you not to think nonsense, I will give you anesthesia immediately, you can sleep well, and when you wake up, there will be nothing to do. ”

The empress glanced at her weakly, and before she could say the words in her throat, she slowly closed her eyes under the effect of Xun Jiu's anesthesia.

The door was opened for the witch doctors to enter, and the group began to officially start the operation.

With his previous experience, Xun Jiu was much easier this time, and he didn't feel dizzy in the face of dense blood vessels, and he was quick and accurate in the knife, and he could avoid opening blood vessels as much as possible.

This time, there was noticeably less sweat on her forehead than the previous one.

The witch doctor, who specializes in wiping sweat, knows in his heart that Miss Jiu has a great deal of confidence in the success of this operation.

Seeing that her face was calm, everyone also relaxed and skillfully worked in their respective positions.

In less than half an hour, the coconut-sized tumor in the empress's abdominal cavity was finally removed.

Once again, the witch doctors let out an exclamation.

I thought that the one in Mrs. Qi's body was scary enough, but I didn't expect that the empress was bigger in her body, and the color was blue and purple, obviously there were a lot of toxins gathered in it, and there was such a big tumor in her stomach, no wonder the empress would be sick these days.

After the exclamation, the witch doctors went back to work.

Xun Jiu looked at the tumor, frowned deeply, and instructed the witch doctor who placed it, "Try not to let this thing contaminate yourself, and when you go out later, you will take it to a no-man's land and burn it with fire, otherwise anyone who gets it will definitely die." ”

When the witch doctor heard Xun Jiu say this, his face immediately became solemn.

Taking a deep breath, Xun Jiu took the silver needle and stitched up the wound layer by layer.

The whole process was smooth to stop bleeding, relieve pain, and protect the heart and pulse.

Seeing that the operation was completed, Xun Jiuda breathed a sigh of relief and took off his gloves and sat on the bench next to him to rest.

The witch doctor in charge of the heart suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesty's heart is broken!" ”

This sentence was tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, which made everyone who was still immersed in the joy of the completion of the operation stunned, and after a moment, everyone's faces became frightened.

Xun Jiu's buttocks were not yet hot, and after hearing the exclamation, he stood up and rushed to the operating table in three or two steps, and his trembling fingers slowly buckled the empress's pulse.

Sure enough, as the witch doctor said, the pulse was all broken, there was no beating breath at all, and the tentacles were terrifyingly cold.

"Don't panic!" Xun Jiu closed his eyes and opened them quickly, trying to keep his face calm, and commanded the witch doctor, "According to the process of protecting Mrs. Qi's heart and pulse last time, massage the position of the heart, don't rush to take it step by step, I believe that the empress's survival ** is stronger than that of Mrs. Qi, and I believe that she will not die like this." ”

The witch doctors were in a hurry, but fortunately, Xun Jiu commanded in an orderly manner, and they quickly stood at their posts, pricking needles and needles, massaging massages, and probing pulses.

After a cup of tea, Xun Jiu asked, "How is the upper pulse?" ”

The witch doctor in charge of the upper pulse had a solemn face, biting his lower lip and shaking his head.

"How's the lower pulse?" Xun Jiu asked again in a calm voice.

The witch doctor in charge of the lower veins also frowned and shook his head.

"Where's the heart?" Xun Jiu's voice began to tremble, and he could barely say the last sentence.

"Totally." The witch doctor who massaged the heart was pale and hung his head.

She ...... She's dead...... Did I personally heal her to death? Xun Jiu couldn't bear this completely unexpected fact, and the whole person sat on the ground with tears in his eyes, looking at the empress who was not breathing at all on the operating table in disbelief.

How could it be...... Obviously, every step was done very carefully and meticulously, and there was no change until the wound was stitched up, during which the empress had no other sudden symptoms except for excessive blood loss, why did she lose her breath at the last step?

The witch doctor came over to help her, and said with a crying voice, "Miss Jiu...... What can be done now? ”

What to do......

This situation was completely unexpected by Xun Jiu, her mind was in chaos at the moment, and only four words kept repeating - the empress is dead!

Xun Jiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked at the witch doctors who were standing next to her who were more anxious than her, and went through the operation process in her mind over and over again, she was very sure that the witch doctors had no chance to do it at all, and she was also very sure that the venom in the tumor had not penetrated into the body at all, but ...... Why is the empress still dead?

Staggering to his feet, Xun Jiu sat in front of the operating table, went to check the empress's pulse over and over again, and then confirmed over and over again that there was no pulse at all, and there was no life at all.

"What the hell is this...... What's going on? Xun Jiu's helpless gaze swept towards the witch doctor.

The witch doctors had long been frightened to the point that their faces were bloodless, and they couldn't say a word in the face of Xun Jiu's questioning at this moment.

The head of the house did intend to let them take the opportunity to attack the empress, but before coming, the high priest repeatedly emphasized that if anyone dared to kill the empress by obeying the order of the head of the house, she would let the soul of the empress fly.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the six of them decided to obey the instructions of the high priest, and did not make any action against the empress during the operation.

However, the empress was still breathless without warning.

This means that all seven of them will have to lose their lives.

Wiping away his tears, Xun Jiu stood up straight, leaned against the wall and walked towards the door step by step.

"Don't go out for a long time!" A witch doctor hurriedly called her, his face dejected, "Once you walk out of this door, you will never come back." ”

Xun Jiu waved his hand weakly, "A few of you will stay in the operating room to guard the body of the empress, I will go out first, if someone comes to ask later, you will say that the empress has just finished the operation, and she is in a coma under anesthesia, and you must not reveal half a sentence, otherwise none of the seven of us will survive." ”

The witch doctors nodded hurriedly.

Xun Jiu pushed the door open.

There was no sun today, and the whole sky was gray, and the dark clouds were thick or faint, pressing against each other, like a huge wave of mad anger, so oppressive that people could not breathe.

Bypassing the corridor, Xun Jiu saw Fu Sheng and Jiang Yichu standing under the corridor from a distance, everyone had a sad look on their faces, and under the jade steps, the hundred officials knelt straight on the ground, and everyone also looked solemn.

Every time I looked at it, it was like a steel needle poking her heart one by one.

On the square on the other side, there was the male concubine of Changle Palace kneeling, and the dense crowd almost burned Xun Jiu's eyes.

His heart was even more panicked, Xun Jiu took a few deep breaths to ease the heartache a little, and then he clenched his fists and walked over.

If she wanted to go to the Emperor's Bedroom, she had to pass by the place where Fusheng and the others were standing.

"Long ......" Fusheng saw her coming, his face was extremely excited, and he hurriedly asked, "How is the operation?" ”

Xun Jiu knew that Fu Sheng knew her best, and if she smiled too reluctantly, he would see it at a glance.

Thinking of this, she raised her eyebrows proudly, "How can a mortal like you casually question the medical skills of this divine stick?" ”

She thought she had done a good job with this expression, but Fu Sheng still hesitated for a moment when she looked at her eyes.

Then, he nodded, "Well, I knew you would succeed." ”

"Miss Jiu, is Qing Xuan really okay?" Rong Luo walked over and shook Xun Jiu's hands excitedly, "She's out of danger, isn't she?" ”

Xun Jiu nodded with difficulty, "Yes, the tumor has been successfully removed, but there is too much blood loss, and she has been anesthetized before the operation, she can't wake up for a while now, and you are not allowed to go in and disturb her rest, just have witch doctors to guard her." ”

"Miss Jiu......" Jiang Yichu walked over, looked at her seriously, his lips moved for a long time, and finally only said three words, "Thank you." ”

Xun Jiu could tell from his dark eyes that he hadn't slept well last night, and his face was pale and haggard at the moment, which was a symptom of too much anxiety.

"Here's what I'm supposed to do." Xun Jiuguaner, "Don't worry, in the future, everything will be fine." ”

Jiang Yichu nodded slightly.

When the officials heard that the operation was successful, they were immediately overjoyed, and the gloom on everyone's faces subsided.

The male concubines are even more relieved, you must know that Dayan has only one female emperor since the founding of the dynasty, and they are all the male concubines of the female emperor, once the female emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, they will not end well.

"Ah Sheng, I want to go to the emperor's dormitory to get something, you appease the courtiers and male concubines first, and I'll come when I go." Xun Jiu shook the palm of Fu Sheng's hand, which was still a little cold, and gave him a reassuring look.

Fu Sheng's eyes moved slightly, and finally he watched her go to the emperor's bedroom.

The eunuchs of the palace were anxiously waiting outside the gate, and as soon as they saw Xun Jiu coming, everyone's hearts hung in their throats.

Hua Rou hurriedly ran over, "Miss Jiu, how is Your Majesty's surgery?" ”

Xun Jiu deliberately raised his voice, "The operation was successful, everyone can rest assured!" ”

The palace eunuchs finally relaxed their tense expressions all morning.

Xun Jiu called the resin aside alone and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, do you know that Her Majesty the Empress left an edict and a letter before entering the operating room?" ”

Hua Rouge was shocked when she heard this, and then shook her head desperately with a panicked face, "The slave doesn't know, since the girl said that His Majesty's operation was successful, why do you still want to come to this thing?" ”

"Your Majesty will be asleep these days, and I can't wake up for the time being, I just want to know what she left for me." Xun Jiu explained very calmly.

"But the slave doesn't know." Hua Rebu shook her head again, "Your Majesty didn't explain this matter before leaving. ”

Xun Jiu frowned, "Then I'll find it myself!" ”

As she spoke, she searched the temple.

"Miss Jiu." Suddenly, a long-lost voice came from behind him.

Xun Jiu Huoran turned around, and saw that Yu Yi didn't know when he stood behind her, and his face was not very good.

"Yuyi?" Xun Jiu felt strange, "Why are you here?" ”

"I waited for you." Yu Yi made a long story short, "I don't have time, I'll take you somewhere." ”

"But I'm in trouble right now." Xun Jiu looked embarrassed, and now finding the edict and the letter is the key.

"What you're looking for, I'm in my hands." Yu Yi said every word, his expression was serious, and it didn't look like he was joking.

"How could it be ......" Xun Jiu trembled his lips, his face full of disbelief, "How could it be in your hands?" ”

"You come with me first, and I'll explain to you when I get there." Yu Yi suddenly became anxious and frowned deeply, "Hurry up, otherwise there will be no time!" ”

Xun Jiu still felt strange, she was considering the truth of Yu Yi's words.

Yu Yi was helpless, grabbed her arm, attached it to her ear and whispered: "If you still want to save Her Majesty, follow me quickly, otherwise as soon as the hour passes, she will definitely die!" ”

Xun Jiu's whole body was shocked, and he suddenly felt that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed.

The empress has no breath and no pulse, and now she can only reluctantly believe in Yu Yi and gamble!

Thinking about it like this, Xun Jiu didn't say a word to keep up with Yuyi's footsteps.

Yu Yi deliberately avoided the patrols of the Iron Eagle Guard and the heavily guarded places, and took Xun Jiu straight to the Yeting Palace.

"Why did you bring me here?" The more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, Xun Jiu squinted his eyes, looked at the back of Yuyi in front of him, and thought about infinite possibilities in his heart.

Yu Yi turned around, and saw that Xun Jiu refused to follow, knowing in his heart that she was suspicious, and in desperation, he had to explain: "Do you remember the time when you first entered the palace to see Her Majesty the Empress, and I happened to be in the emperor's bedroom?" ”

Xun Jiu nodded.

Yu Yi continued: "That night, she handed over the edict to me. ”

"What!" As if he had been struck by lightning, Xun Jiu was stunned in place.

At that time, the empress handed over the edict to Yuyi, that is, the empress had long expected that she would die in the near future?

"There's a lot of the inside story here." Yu Yi said: "The only person who knows is Ah Zi, I brought you here just to let you hear her tell those things." ”

"Then let's go." Xun Jiu couldn't wait to urge Yuyi.

The two of them went directly to the octagonal pavilion where they stayed last time.

Yu Yi went straight to find Ah Zi.

Not long after, Yu Yi hurriedly returned with Ah Zi.

Xun Jiu's face was full of anxiety, and he couldn't wait for Ah Zi to say hello, so he asked directly: "Aunt Ah Zi, did the empress leave a letter for me?" ”

"You can't read the letter." Ah Zi said directly: "It's better for me to explain it to you." ”

"Then tell me quickly, what the hell is going on, my operation is obviously no problem, why did the empress ......" At this point, Xun Jiu quickly glanced around and lowered his voice, "Why did she still die?" ”

"She's doing it to herself." A trace of unbearability crossed Ah Zi's cold eyes.

"What do you mean!" Xun Jiu was frightened a lot today, and almost all her courage was consumed by the things that took place.

Ah Zi slowly explained, "Her Majesty knew about something growing in her stomach a long time ago, and she also knew that that thing would quickly take her life, so she had already calculated everything, it seemed that she had taken something, and she would die on time when the time came, and today happened to stop breathing during your operation, which means that she urged that thing in advance last night." ”

"I could have saved her, why did she choose to commit suicide?" Xun Jiu was furious, and for the first time felt that the empress was too self-conscious, completely ignoring the feelings of others.

"That kind of thing, she took it a year ago." Ah Zi said: "Even if she doesn't die today, when the time comes, she will also stop breathing, and sooner or later it will be the same result." ”

Yu Yi took over, "That time, Her Majesty summoned me to the emperor's dormitory, personally handed over the edict to me, and said that after she went, she would help the new emperor succeed to the throne according to the content of the edict. ”

In the end, Yu Yi added, "Your Majesty also said that this is just her plan, and the things she takes can be suspended for seven whole days, which is the day she calculated from the moment of the funeral to the funeral, and since then, there will be no empress in the world." If she could survive in seven days, then she would become the first Hidden Emperor of Dayan, and she would secretly control the elite private armed forces, which would make it much easier for her to deal with enemies from all sides. ”

In the end, Yu Yi concluded, "Therefore, the reason why Her Majesty the Empress wants to use fake death to disappear is because the identity of the Empress is too eye-catching, which causes many of her actions to be restricted." ”

Yu Yi took out a letter with red paint from his arms and handed it to Xun Jiu.

Xun Jiu took it and slowly opened it.

With Ah Zi and Yu Yi's explanations first, she can fully understand the content of the letter.

What the empress meant was that she took the medicine a year ago, and controlled and extended the incubation period of the drug, and originally planned to use fake death to disappear into this world, and then become the Hidden Emperor and then secretly come back to deal with the enemy, but Jiang Yichu's arrival disrupted her plan, and she changed her mind, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by sudden death in the future, she simply took the opportunity of the operation to activate the medicine, first fell into a coma for seven days, and after seven days, she would wake up, but during this period, someone must use the Seven Star Lantern Life Continuation Technique in the body, At present, the seven positions of the void hanging one, the mud pill, the spine, the life gate, the dantian, and the bottom of the sea ignited the seven star lanterns of the poor wolf, the giant gate, the Lucun, the Wenqu, the Lian Zhen, the Wuqu, and the Tiangang continued to add fuel and continue to live.

Xun Jiu looked dazed after reading it, "The Seven Star Lantern is not something that just one person can light up, it is the intention to light the lamp, and it must be a person who has cultivated the Spirit Gathering Method." Where do we find such people? ”

Ah Zi muttered: "The Lord should know, but ......"

Xun Jiu's eyes lit up, "Are you talking about Yu Yinchen?" ”

"Hmm." Ah Zi bowed, "But the Lord is the enemy of the Empress and the King of Qin, it is impossible for him to help, not to mention that I can't find where he is now." ”

"What then?" Xun Jiu was so anxious that he turned around, "The empress said in the letter that the Seven Stars Life Renewal Lantern must be lit the next day after she sleeps, which means that I only have one day to find a person who has cultivated the Spirit Gathering Method, I don't even have martial arts, where can I find this kind of person?" ”

"That's right." Xun Jiu's mind flashed, "Will the high priest light the seven-star lamp?" ”

"This ......" Ah Zi hesitated: "I don't know, but if Miss Jiu goes to her, it will be equivalent to exposing Her Majesty's plan, after all, the high priest is a member of the Tantai family, and it is very dangerous to do so." ”

"Then let me think again." Xun Jiu pinched his eyebrows to force himself to calm down, and at the same time wondered whether to tell Fu Sheng about this matter.

"The Lord's whereabouts are uncertain, and I can't contact him." Ah Zi said helplessly: "What's more, as soon as I take the initiative to contact him, with his strong mind, he will soon think that I have betrayed." ”

Speaking of this, Ah Zirao glanced at Yu Yi meaningfully, and then said: "The Lord knew that I had rebelled one day earlier, which means that I would die one day earlier, I was not afraid of death before, but now I ...... I just want to live. ”

"If you can't contact you, I won't embarrass you." Xun Jiu patted Ah Zi on the shoulder, "You don't have to be too anxious, I'll go back and tell King Qin about this later, and see if he can think of a way." ”

Ah Zi nodded in response, and instructed Xun Jiu, "Miss Jiu, it's better not to reveal the matter of the edict, so as not to cause turmoil among the courtiers." ”

"I know." Xun Jiu shook the letter in his hand and said, "I took this thing away, and I want to show it to King Qin." ”

When he returned to the operating room again, the hundred officials and the male concubine had already dispersed, and Rong Luo's morning sickness was first sent back to the pawn office by Gu Cixiu, only Jiang Yichu and Fu Sheng were guarding the door, and their faces were a little heavy.

Xun Jiu hid the letter in his arms, pretended to be casual, approached the two of them as if nothing happened, and asked softly, "Why don't you go back?" ”

"I'm not at ease." Jiang Yichu said: "I want to see her wake up with my own eyes, otherwise I will definitely have trouble sleeping." ”

Xun Jiu looked at Fu Sheng and asked him, "What about you?" ”

"I'm waiting for you." Fu Sheng looked back, his eyes darkened.

Xun Jiu couldn't understand his emotions, he just felt that he was not in a good mood.

With a look on his face, Xun Jiu said to Jiang Yichu: "I have seen the pulse before leaving, the empress is caused by drugs after all, it is very different from Mrs. Qi, if you want to wake up, it will take seven or eight days, and these days, outsiders are not allowed to enter, the operating room is a sterile room, if you go in, you will invisibly bring in a lot of bacteria to infect her wounds." ”

Jiang Yichu didn't understand what Xun Jiu's "sterile room" meant, but he was really frightened by her, frowned and asked, "Can't anyone go in?" ”

"Yes." Xun Jiu nodded, "Including Ah Sheng." ”

Jiang Yichu wanted to stay several times, but Xun Jiu refused, and finally had no choice but to leave the palace first.

Finally had the opportunity to be alone with Fusheng, Xun Jiu thought about it again and again, and finally told Fusheng the whole thing as it was.

After listening, Fu Sheng frowned, "Spirit Gathering Method......?" ”

Xun Jiu asked him, "Do you think the high priest will be?" ”

"I don't know." Fu Sheng shook his head, "But she can't let her know about it." ”

"Ah Zi said the same thing." Xun Jiu said: "But we only have one day, how can we find someone who can light the seven-star lantern?" ”

Fu Sheng glanced at the arm that had been injured on the small farm before, and then as if he had made up his mind in an instant, he took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I can ......"

"Ah Sheng, Ah Zi told me that Yu Yinchen will light the seven-star lantern." Xun Jiu didn't hear what Fu Sheng said, and said directly: "Chu State is not far from Yanjing, do you think we can personally invite him to give it a try?" ”

Fu Sheng's face immediately sank, and his voice became cold, "Wouldn't inviting him to come lead the wolf into the room?" ”

"But I can't help it." Xun Jiu bit his lower lip, "The empress once told you that this matter must not be told to you, and I really can't tell you and Pan, you are full of hidden guards, it shouldn't be difficult to get the news of Yu Yinchen, or ...... Let's try? ”

"No way!" Fu Sheng vetoed, "It's better to invite him than to invite the high priest." ”

"But what if the great priest doesn't?" Xun Jiu asked, "The Wu clan cultivates witchcraft, and the spirit gathering method is the magic of the Yuzhen clan when I hear it, how can the high priest be?" ”

"If you really can't do it......" Fu Sheng hesitated, his brows furrowed deeper, "I ......"

"Miss Jiu." Before Fu Sheng could finish speaking, the door of the operating room was opened by the witch doctor, and a witch doctor stood behind the door, looking at her with an anxious face.

"Eh, I'm coming." Xun Jiu said hello to Fu Sheng and walked quickly into the operating room.

The witch doctors didn't know anything about the empress's fake death, but when she was really dead, when they saw Xun Jiu coming back, they hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Xun Jiu said: "Don't worry too much, I have already told them that it will take about seven or eight days for the empress to wake up." ”

"But after seven or eight days, we still can't escape life and death." A witch doctor said nervously.

Xun Jiu looked at them and solemnly explained, "I will find a way, don't be too nervous, after you go out, you will act as if nothing has happened, even if the high priest asks, you can't say anything." ”

The witch doctors nodded their heads busily, and if the high priest knew that the empress was dead, all of them would be punished, and they would be devastated and unable to reincarnate after death. For today's plan, it is a day to be able to drag it out.

At dusk, Xun Jiucai packed up his things, explained the precautions of the two witch doctors who guarded him, and followed Fusheng out of the palace.

Along the way, Xun Jiu was not in the mood, his head was tilted out of the window, but his heart was in a mess.

When the carriage passed by the moat, Xun Jiu saw a person squatting on the bank, holding a lotus lamp without a wick in his hand and slowly putting it into the river, the sky was dark, and the person was squatting, she couldn't see her face, she could only see a wide silver-purple brocade sleeve and a half-amputated musculoskeletal well-proportioned hand that poked out the brocade sleeve.

Xun Jiu's attention was not on the man's appearance, but on the lotus lamp that he had put into the river without a wick and without a light.

Squinting his eyes, Xun Jiu felt that this person was very strange.

What do you do with a lotus lantern that has no wick and is not lit in the river?

At the moment when Xun Jiu was wondering, the lotus lantern that was already floating away in the river suddenly lit up by itself.

Covering his mouth, Xun Jiu's eyes widened and he wanted to exclaim, but the man on the bank of the river suddenly raised his eyes, and the silver-purple brocade robe was hunting.

When he looked at his face clearly, Xun Jiu was stunned.
