The bright moon hangs high, the autumn breeze sweeps slightly, in the Xiaoyu Pavilion of the Hengwang Mansion, Ning Yiheng sits on the stone bench with a tall posture, and there is a pot of sake and a few side dishes on the stone table in front of him. At this time, there is no "sad falling leaves in the autumn" of the past, putting aside the "sad and lonely autumn since ancient times", taking a sip of fragrant tea, wearing a tranquility, and the always dull face has a faint smile.

At this moment, my heart is full of infinite imagination and expectations. Since birth, he has been governed by various palace rules and etiquette, taught by the master of civil and martial arts, studied with the imperial brother when he was young, although he was two years younger, but he was gifted and intelligent, Wen Taowu did not lose half a point to the imperial brother, and in some places even slightly better than him, it was quite loved by his father.

After the weak crown, the independent door, the father and the emperor rewarded this huge Hengwang Mansion. I have never felt empty and lonely over the years I have lived here, and today I think that loneliness is not in people, but in my heart, otherwise I have a brother and a father and a queen mother, how can I feel lonely.

However, I don't know when, the royal brother of a fellow mother already regards himself as a man in the flesh; Although the queen mother loves herself as when she was a child, she is now struggling to mediate the forces of Rui Wangfu and Heng Wangfu, and she has been working day and night, and she can't feel the warmth of the year every time she wants to speak. I can only seal my heart, as if the warmth and coldness of this world have nothing to do with me, until that day I saw the woman in pink in Xiangguo Temple, and suddenly ripple......d like water.

King Heng was pondering to himself, when suddenly there was a "whoosh", and a dart came in the darkness with a yin wind. I saw that his face was slightly to the side, and he stretched out two fingers to clamp it. Only then did I realize that there was a letter on the dart. Puzzled in his heart, he unfolded the paper, and there were only three words: "Lingxi Yuan". For a while, I was quite puzzled in my heart, and I almost wanted to go to Lingxi Courtyard to explore, thinking that I had just met Ling'er today, and I would seek the holy decree tomorrow, and I could get along openly and honestly in the future. In case this is someone who makes a bad mistake from it, deliberately arranges a frame-up, and there is no reverse accident. After a little thought, he took the news into his bosom and waited for the next day.

After the next morning, King Heng only lingered outside the Golden Palace, and someone came to invite him to meet the Empress Xiyan Palace, where the Emperor and the Empress were waiting.

After King Heng came to the Yan Palace to see Empress Yan and Emperor Xuanwen, he said bluntly: "Erchen is here to return to his life today. ”

Emperor Xuanwen was surprised: "There is still one day left, Heng'er has found his own candidate for the princess?" ”

Empress Yan hurriedly said, "I don't know which adult's daughter is in the house?"

King Heng said loudly: "Ji Ling'er, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Emperor Xuanwen and Empress Yan were surprised in their hearts, and when they looked at each other, Empress Yan said, "But the daughter who was divorced by your imperial brother because of her bad morals?" ”

King Heng knew that he had this question, and only said: "Yesterday, Sun Xing, the prefect of the county government, has verified that the second lady has fornicated with someone is really slanderous, and the queen mother may not know."

How could Queen Yan not know that although she stayed at home, she was very well informed, and she wondered in her heart that the case had come strangely and was broken so quickly, and now it seems that this matter must have something to do with her two emperors. But what she cares more about now is that King Heng does not contradict King Rui no matter what, looking at the situation in front of her, King Heng has a resolute attitude, I am afraid that it will be difficult for her to persuade her to give up her marriage with the second lady, and only look at Emperor Xuanwen.

Emperor Xuanwen was open-minded, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has thought clearly, he only recognizes this woman, and no one else?" ”

Ning Yiheng said firmly: "The child has already recognized this daughter, and he hopes that his father will fulfill it."

In Emperor Xuanwen's opinion, if the two emperors married the daughter of Na Ji Qian, it would be a good thing. One is that there will not be a situation where one side suppresses the other, and the other is that if their sisters can promote the two emperors to jointly assist the Great Zhou, wouldn't it be even more peaceful in the world, which is actually the best strategy.

"Li Ren, the proposed decree is to give the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion to marry King Heng, and don't choose another day, just choose the same day as King Rui." Emperor Xuanwen said to Gong Li who was standing next to him.

Empress Yan didn't expect Emperor Xuanwen to mean this, and she couldn't dissuade her, so she looked at the two of them worriedly, and saw that the emperor and the emperor were very satisfied, and they couldn't say anything for a while.

King Heng asked for the holy decree, his heart was overjoyed, and he came to find the Gonggong Li, not to mention the reward, and asked him to let the Xiangye and the second lady personally receive the decree when he issued the decree. King Heng seemed to have only Ling'er personally accepted the decree, and he really agreed to himself.

On this day, after Ji Qian went down to court, he did not stay with the officials to discuss friends as before, and hurriedly returned home after a while, and said to the little servant: "Qingxi in the Chuan Ling Rhino Courtyard came to question. ”

Qingxi hurriedly came to see Ji Qian, and before he could speak, he knelt down and begged again and again: "Please save the second young lady!" ”

Ji Qian shouted impatiently: "Didn't you already go to the imperial doctor, it's just some skin injuries, it will be fine in a few days, what's the hurry!" ”

When Qingxi saw Ji Qian say this, he was angry in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Xiangye doesn't know, in the eyes of outsiders, it is a skin injury, but this day and a night, the second miss has seen that she is dead, and it is definitely not an ordinary injury, if Xiangye doesn't believe it, you can go and check it yourself." ”

Seeing the sincerity of what Qingxi said, Ji Qian was puzzled in his heart, and it was also out of guilt in his heart for the Bai family and the old man Bai, so he got up and walked towards the Lingxi courtyard after thinking for a while. Entering the courtyard, the maid and the maid were busy saluting, Ji Qian only didn't see it, and when he arrived at the bed, he saw that Ling'er's face was like white paper, and his anger was like a gossamer, but it was not good to see it, and his heart was also pity for being a parent for a while.

After looking at it for a while, he turned around and went out, and ordered: "Take my name and go quickly to ask Master Li Zifu, the head of the Tai Hospital, and ask him to come here." ”

The servant was ordered to leave, and Ji Qian paced back to the study full of worry, and after thinking about it for a while, he was very annoyed.

"Master, Grandpa Li has arrived." The servant came in to report.

Ji Qian wondered in his heart, "What is the matter with him again?" Thinking that he was a celebrity in front of the saint today, he hurriedly greeted him.

When Gonggong Li saw Ji Qian coming out, he arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to Xiangye, congratulations to Xiangye, double happiness is coming!" As he spoke, he raised the holy decree in his hand.

Ji Qian hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, and only held the hand of Gonggong Li holding the holy decree and asked in a low voice, "What does the annoying public announcement know today?" ”

That Gonggong Li smiled silently, pulled out his hand, and said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, and Ji Ling'er, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, will accept the decree." ”

When Ji Qian heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he was dizzy for a while, and he just wanted to find a crack in the ground at this time to get into it, so as to end today's matter. But he is the prime minister of a country, and he has his own unique place, and after a little calm, he said: "It's really a coincidence, the little girl is not happy today, and she can't answer the order in person, how about the old minister kneeling on her behalf to thank the holy grace?" ”

But this Gonggong Li was entrusted by King Heng before, if it was okay in the past, there was also the reason that the parents took the decree for their children, but where is it possible today. It's just that because of the face of the prime minister, he also thought that Ling'er was really sick, so he retreated and said: "Okay, if the second lady is really in the way, as long as she accepts the order on the couch, you don't need to kneel reluctantly."

Looking at Ji Qian again, his face was already covered with cold sweat at this time. "If it is known that the mansion abuses lynching, beats a young lady from the former lady half to death, and passes it out, how will this prime minister's mansion deal with itself in the future, and he will inevitably end up infamy." ”

The two were at a stalemate, when the servant came in and said, "His Royal Highness King Heng has arrived." ”

Ji Qian was stunned, and said in his heart: "What is he doing here?" ”

Ning Yiheng had already come in from outside with a gloomy face, and said to Li Gonggong: "You declare the decree, I will go to visit the second young lady." ”

When Gonggong Li heard this, he unfolded the holy decree and said: "Ji Qian listens to the decree!" Then he read the decree and took the reward, and departed.

And Kai Jiqian had already received the holy decree like a wooden man, and stood for a long time without saying a word. The day's shocks came one after another, and he had always been resourceful, but he also felt that he could not cope with the panic.

After King Heng finished speaking, he eagerly walked towards the Lingxi Courtyard, only one day did not see how he was sick and couldn't get up, his heart was worried, his steps couldn't help but be fast, and he was already in the Lingxi Courtyard after a while.

The maid in the courtyard felt that a person was about to break in, and before she could speak, she saw that person had arrived in front of the couch of Zhiling'er.

Qingxi saw that King Heng was coming, and he was overjoyed, and said in his heart, "Miss is saved!" He waved his hand and told everyone to stand back, and he stood behind him for King Heng to question.

King Heng stretched out his hand and gently opened the pothos gauze tent, and saw that Ling'er was as white and thin as a blank piece of paper at this time. His heart was sour, tears almost wanted to come out of his eyes, he closed his eyes and didn't look at the person behind him, and said coldly: "Why is this?

Qingxi had already prepared and was busy bringing together what had happened in the past two days.

King Heng was even more remorseful after hearing this, if he hadn't allowed Ling'er to go that day, there would not have been today's misunderstanding, and let him suffer so much. and the viciousness of the Liu family mother and daughter, and Ji Qian's indifference. For a while, my heart was full of mixed tastes and all kinds of bitterness.

"The lower officials participated in the prince," it was Li Zifu, the director of the Tai Hospital, who came.

King Heng turned around and saw that Li Yuan was coming, and he knew it in his heart, and said lightly: "Lord Li doesn't need to be polite, please hurry." ”

Li Zifu hurriedly stepped forward to diagnose the pulse, and after a while, he said: "Strange, take the prescription you used before." ”

Nuo'er, who was standing behind him, hurriedly handed over the prescription, Li Yuan was looking at it, shook his head and said, "What a miracle!" ”

King Heng only said that Ling'er was very bad, and he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "How is it?" Please also make it clear. ”

Li Yuanzheng saw King Heng's eagerness, and his concern was obvious, he stroked the long hair on his chest with his hand, and said with relief: "Although the injury suffered by the second lady is serious, it is only a flesh injury, and the medicine she takes is also symptomatic, but why is she still asleep after two days, this is quite unreasonable. ”

King Heng saw that there was something in his words, and said sincerely: "If the adults can save the life of the second young lady, this king will remember it in his heart and never forget it." ”

Li Yuan was busy saying: "The prince doesn't have to be polite, helping the world and saving people, it is the duty of a doctor, and the old man doesn't want to live anymore when he sees these two young ladies." If she doesn't survive**, no matter how clever the miracle doctor is, it will be in vain. ”

When King Heng heard this, he suddenly felt that his heart was like a knife, as if the light in front of him had dimmed a little, and only then did he understand Ling'er's status in his heart. It is the light and warmth she exudes that makes her feel the beauty of life, but now she has no life, it can be seen that her heart is dead. And she was not by her side when she was most lonely and helpless, even if she was given a glimmer of hope, she was not as desperate as she is today.

After thinking about it, he reached out and held Ling'er's little hand exposed outside the quilt in the palm of his hand, which was not at all warm, wrapped his hands around the little hand, and was silent, and then looked at King Heng at this time, his face was full of tears.

Seeing this, Li Yuanzheng and everyone retreated silently, and everyone knew that only King Heng could save Ling'er at this time.

That Ji Qian was pacing back and forth outside the Lingxi Courtyard like an ant on the hot pot at such times, and when he saw Li Yuan coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "I'm tired of it, please go to the study for tea?" ”

Li Yuanzheng didn't answer, but said: "The lower officials haven't done anything, whether they can survive or not depends on Ling Yan's own creation, and he will leave." ”

Ji Qian suddenly felt a basin of cold water poured on his head, stayed in place, and was almost speechless. After a little regained his senses, he led people towards the side room where the Liu family was kept.

When he came to the door, he kicked the door open, and ordered the little guy who followed: "Hold me back, fight!" ”

Poor Na Liu didn't have time to defend herself, she was already beaten and screamed, she has always been pampered, how could she have suffered so much, only a dozen boards down, she was already overwhelmed.

At this time, Ji Ran heard that her mother was punished, and she ran to beg for mercy for her mother as if she was crying early, but Ji Qian ignored it, and when she saw that the beating was almost over, she asked people to stop.

Only then did he return to Lingxi Courtyard to see King Heng, and when he saw King Heng sitting in front of Ling'er couch with affection, he was a little moved, and said in his heart: "This spirit girl is a good blessing, if she can survive this time, it will be a lifelong glory in the future." "In my heart, I have a little more affection for this King Heng than King Narui. After standing for a long time, Fang said softly: "The prince forgives the sin, the old minister did not govern the family properly, and it is really the old minister's fault that today's incident happened." The old minister has given the concubine the punishment she deserves, and hopes that the prince will calm his anger. ”

King Heng snorted coldly in his heart, "I knew today, why bother in the first place, if it wasn't for your connivance with the Liu family, how could she dare to punish Bai Xiangye's granddaughter, and punishing her now is just a mouthful." Although there was a lot of disdain in his heart, he only said coldly: "Xiangye is tired, it is a backyard matter, Xiangye works for state affairs all day long, and there are people who can't manage it." ”

Ji Qian saw that King Heng's attitude was relaxed, so he relieved himself and arched his hand: "The prince is sympathetic to the old minister, the old minister is not very grateful, the prince accompanies the little girl, and the old minister goes down to arrange for someone to come and serve." "Say and retreat.

At one time, Ji Qian transferred a number of servants to clean up the inside and outside of this Lingxi courtyard, and all the ingredients in the kitchen were of the highest quality, not to mention.

Let's talk about that Ling'er, although she has been in a coma, it is indeed as Li Yuanzheng said, but in fact, she is even more reluctant to wake up. At this time, King Heng was by his side, full of concern, and the decoction was served personally. That heart is really full of Ling'er, Ling'er only feels that her cold body is warming up a little bit, and her desire to survive is reviving a little bit.

On this day, King Heng came to Lingxi Courtyard early in the morning, took the decoction prepared by Nuo'er, and fed it himself. As soon as I was halfway through feeding, I saw Ling'er's eyelashes move slightly. King Heng only said that he was dazzled, and then looked closely, Ling'er had opened his eyes slightly, and his heart that had been hanging for many days was put down.

Ling'er opened her eyes and saw King Heng holding a medicine bowl in her hand, with a concerned expression, and she was already moved. He didn't speak, but burst into tears.

Qingxi said happily: "Miss, you have finally woken up, Amitabha." Everyone else in the room laughed.

King Heng took the silk handkerchief and gently wiped away his tears, and said softly: "Silly girl, take medicine well." The look and tone turned out to be that the two of them were like family.

Ling'er's heart warmed, and she said in her heart, "In this life, I finally have relatives." ”
