Chapter 152: Confinement
"Your Majesty, the concubines are retiring." Although the man tried his best to remain silent, the careful Yang Ningzhi still found that he was restless, and obviously wanted to stay and dine with him, but he retreated.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from far and near, and Li Liancheng ran in: "Your Majesty, Concubine Li Niangniang fainted." Before the words fell, a man rushed out with a whoosh.
The palace man followed behind with a lamp.
It was dark, and it was foggy outside, until the light hit the person lying on the ground, and Xuan Lili finally saw the woman curled up in a ball, especially the arms that were clenched, and it was extremely cold.
"Hurry up and go to Doctor Xuan."
Heartache instantly filled his heart, he picked her up and rushed to the warm pavilion, put her body on the couch, leaned her head on the side of his arms, the room was brilliantly lit, and her face was pale, and her lips were frozen purple.
"Silly woman." He leaned down, face against hers, trying to convey warmth to hers.
After a while, his imperial physician arrived, and after a look, he concluded that it was caused by cold and hunger and exhaustion.
"Go."
He urged.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the imperial doctor also said that my sister is fine." Yang Ningzhi hated the root of her teeth itching, although the man was restless, she didn't care about it, she thought he was really angry, but she didn't expect the woman to be just dizzy, and he was in a hurry like this, especially the scene where her face was close to her face, her heart was broken.
Xuan Lili seemed to have discovered her existence at this time, and waved her hand to retreat: "You go, I can accompany you alone." β
"Yes, the concubine retired."
The moment she lowered her eyebrows, she stabbed the woman in his arms fiercely, bowed, and her face was already full of gentle and lovely expressions, and she retreated obediently.
Xu is body temperature played a role, the woman's face was much better, and the millet porridge was also served, so he pried open her mouth and fed it spoonful by spoon himself, and finally, the long and thick eyelashes shook a few times, like a butterfly flapping its wings, and then Er's eyes slowly opened.
When she woke up, she was still a little uncomfortable with the bright light in the room, she instinctively closed her eyes, and her snort was his breath, familiar to the bones, Dou Lianyi suddenly opened her eyes, broke away from his embrace, but the action was too violent, and her body fell down again, and she was supported by him.
"Don't touch me."
She glared at him as if she didn't know him, and thought that kneeling for a moment would arouse his pity and grant her request, but now she thought that it was naΓ―ve.
"Stop making a fuss, okay?" He raised his eyebrows and said in a coaxing tone.
Dou Lianyi's face did not have a trace of a smile, his body was fluttering, and his voice was powerless, but it was very simple: "The concubine didn't make trouble, and the concubine didn't dare to make trouble, for fear that you would kill the concubine." β
"Don't talk about it again." There was no doubt in his faint voice, and he put his hand on her shoulder again, and pulled it towards himself.
She struggled to break free, her face flushed with excitement, but she looked a little angry, but her lips sneered: "Why don't you mention it?" Oh, isn't it good for the emperor to be afraid that the reputation of killing innocents in vain will spread? β
"Shut up, concubine, do you know what you're talking about?" He has tried his best to defend a woman who doesn't know how to do it, and she is really spoiled by herself.
Dou Lianyi thought of Wu'er's blurred flesh and blood, all his reason vanished, and he said loudly: "Of course the concubine knows what she is talking about, why, the emperor doesn't dare to listen, or is he ashamed?" β
"That's enough." Xuan Lili finally couldn't bear it anymore, got up with a big drink, and stared at her word by word: "Concubine Li is at fault first, and she doesn't want to repent later. β
"The minions are here."
Li Liancheng was still secretly relieved for the emperor and his concubine to rebuild the old friendship, but somehow, the two of them quarreled again, so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and when he heard the master calling himself, he hurriedly agreed.
"Send them away immediately, without delay."
Dropping this sentence, Xuan Lonely left his sleeves.
"Concubine Li, why are you suffering?" Li Liancheng sighed, "Please." β
Let's go, he has become something she doesn't know, rather than seeing each other, it's better not to see, Dou Lianyi jumped off the ground, the person shook and wanted to fall, and he hurriedly held his hand to stabilize his figure, and walked out of the Flying Frost Hall step by step.
In the night, the west wind wrapped in the sky of flying snow sprinkled, a carriage galloped in the wind and snowy night, surrounded by more than a dozen high-headed horses, the people on the horses were all dressed in black clothes, exuding a cold atmosphere.
There are occasional night pedestrians on the road, and when they see this posture, they can't avoid standing under the wall, guessing in their hearts that it must be the family members of which princes and nobles in the capital, but they don't know that the one sitting in the car is the concubine Niangniang who was punished by the emperor out of Huaqing Palace and went to Baishazhou to be imprisoned.
"Master, you haven't eaten much in a day, so let's just take a bite."
In the car, Xiuzhu handed her the small shortbread she was carrying.
"I don't have a taste." Dou Lianyi leaned on the body, without any strength in his body, and his heart was like a knife cutting back and forth, and the pain was irrepressible.
Xuan Lonely, from the first time she saw him, she was deeply moved, all the way through ups and downs, this love has been strong for a long time, but at this moment, she asked herself over and over again: Is he still worthy of love?
As soon as the thought came out, the heart, as if lost, the whole person seemed to be evacuated as sad, it turned out that he had already become a part of her life, forcibly stripped of this love, her life will no longer be complete.
It turns out that it only takes a moment to fall in love, but it is so difficult not to love.
Xuan Lonely, what should I do with you?
In the middle of a hundred turns, the carriage stopped, and when I got out of the car, I saw that the people were already standing by the Xianxia Pond in the palace, and a wooden boat was already waiting on the shore, and the four masters and servants got on the boat and slowly swung to the opposite shore.
"Slaves, slaves and maids have seen concubines and concubines." It seems that the people here have already gotten the news and cleaned up the house, but it is clean, and there is a carbon basin in the house, and it is warm when you go in.
The body is not cold, but the heart is cold.
She was not in the mood to pay attention to it, so she let Xiuzhu arrange it, and she lay down under Su Yun's service, "Master, it seems that the emperor still cares about you, and the facilities here are still complete." Su Yun comforted.
So what, she turned in, the meaning was self-evident, Su Yun knew that she was angry, so she shut up, put a new brocade quilt on her, Xiao Yingzi moved the brazier in, and extinguished the candle flame, and then quietly withdrew with Su Yun.
The room was dark, she was tired and sleepy, but she just couldn't sleep, one moment Wu'er was beaten to the skin, and the other was his cold face.
wanted to hate him, but transformed in the next second;
I want to continue to love him, but I doubt that he is still worthy of love like this?
After tossing and turning for most of the night, I finally fell asleep in chaos, and when I woke up, it was already sunset, and the snow reflected the room very brightly through the window paper.
"Master, you're awake."
Xiuzhu and Soyun were already waiting outside the tent.
She hummed, got up under their waiting, and called Xiaoyingzi while washing: "You go to Guan Sui Palace and take the incense book that Ning Ningru left for me." β
Xiaoyingzi agreed.
"Master, don't you want to use incense to confuse the emperor and make the emperor favor you again?" Xiuzhu asked and thought to herself: My master, uh, as long as you put your temper away a little, you won't fall to the point where you are today, why do you need to use these things.
Dou Lianyi glanced at her lightly: "You can figure it out." β
"Master, do you have any doubts?" In the end, Su Yun still had a brain, and guessed the root at once.
Seeing that they were dumb, Xiuzhu shouted: "What do you suspect, good master, tell the slave quickly." β
"Wait for Xiaoyingzi to bring it, let's take a look." After a while, after grooming and dressing up, Dou Lianyi hadn't eaten much since noon yesterday, and his stomach was empty, "Do you have anything to eat?" β
"Yes, yes, I prepared it early in the morning, and the slave and maid went to get it." Xiuzhu made breakfast early in the morning, but she was afraid that she wouldn't eat it, but she was finally relieved to see that she finally stopped "hunger strike".
After breakfast, Xiaoyingzi also came back and handed her a booklet.
"Xiuzhu, you said you saw Tingfengju collecting a large number of various petals, right?" Dou Lianyi asked as he flipped through it.
Xiuzhu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, the slave maid has come across a peach to pick up flowers when she goes to the flower room several times, and sometimes a mention of blue is not enough." β
"Everyone in the palace knows that Fu Concubine Niangniang only likes jasmine, and she wants to do so many kinds of petals?" She had long been suspicious, at first she saw that the emperor was infatuated with Yang Ningzhi, she just tasted it, and then felt that it was not so simple.
Su Yun saw her turn page by page, as if aimlessly, and then turned to a page, her fingers were little by little and her eyes were condensed, and she didn't dare to guess at the moment, but just asked, "Master, have you found something?" β
"Xiaoyingzi, you go again, go to the flower and wood house to ask for some petals, there is no current one, dried flowers are also made: peony, rose, ylang-ylang......" Dou Lianyi reported more than a dozen flower names in one breath, Xiaoyingzi remembered them one by one, and immediately went to do it.
At this moment, there is a new discovery in Huaqing Palace, after an autopsy, the deceased died of poisoning, and the source of the poison was also found, caused by eating food mixed with broken intestine grass.
It is said that the broken intestine grass is also known as mountain arsenic, and the flowers are trumpet-shaped, mostly growing on the roadside, in the grass or in the bushes, and are highly poisonous.
This news in the palace does not go away, people sigh that the murderer is resourceful, inevitably everyone is in danger, you think, this kind of flowers can be seen everywhere, if someone wants to harm you, it is easy, the emperor ordered a thorough inspection of the imperial dining room, and the palaces also conducted a self-inspection of their own kitchens, fortunately, there is nothing wrong.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and began to guess who was the poisoner.
After Yang Ningzhi heard the news, she hurried to the queen's palace.
