Cining Palace

The Queen Mother stood in front of the bed, mourning, the emperor Zhao Shixian walked back and forth, the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital knelt on the ground, the emperor stopped, and was furious: "A group of waste, it's been two hours, why haven't people woken up yet." ”

Imperial Doctor Chen, who had the oldest qualifications in Tai Hospital, knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "The emperor is the emperor, the king of Anyang is in a hurry to attack the heart, the liver and yin are depleted, the wind and fire are disturbed, and the phlegm, turbidity, blood and blood rush to the heart and brain, and faint ......."

Zhao Shixian waved his hand impatiently and interrupted, "Okay, just tell me why I haven't woken up for so long?" ”

"King Anyang must have suffered a heavy blow suddenly, causing him to fall unconscious, and he will wake up slowly and naturally."

"Frame, frame......" The Queen Mother shouted anxiously.

The emperor walked over quickly, Zhao Shijiao woke up slowly, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and the queen mother cried with joy, "Son! You're finally awake. ”

Queen Li stepped forward, leaned over to take a look, and found that his eyes were wrong, and hesitated: "Queen Mother, the concubine looks at the third brother a little wrong. ”

The emperor and the queen mother also found that his eyes were hollow, his lips were closed, and he was motionless.

"What's going on?"

Old Imperial Doctor Chen didn't wait for the emperor to speak, he hurriedly got up and stepped forward to take a closer look, "The prince has suffered a huge blow, although he has woken up, he can't accept it for a while, so that's it." ”

The emperor and the queen looked at each other, the people who entered the palace this morning were fine, and nothing major happened, so the eunuch reported that the Xishan Baoyue Nunnery was on fire, but the king of Anyang ignored political affairs, what does this have to do with him?

The Queen Mother got up tremblingly and said coldly: "Come on, call King Cheng to me." ”

As soon as King Cheng heard that the moon nunnery was on fire, his heart chuckled, this time it was a bad thing, he was nervous, someone from the palace passed the message of the Queen Mother, and ordered King Cheng to enter the palace quickly, King Cheng privately inquired about the palace people who came to pass the message, and heard that the King of Anyang fainted, and did not dare to slack off, so he immediately entered the palace.

King Cheng knelt in the queen mother's bedroom, 1510 told the truth of the matter, the emperor and the queen were slightly surprised, the third brother was unruly, but he didn't expect to do such a ridiculous thing, the woman was still the daughter-in-law of the Zhan Bo Mansion, her husband had recently died, and she practiced in the nunnery.

The emperor and the queen looked at the queen mother, the queen mother's face was blue and cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Just for that fox, my mother will also leave it, and I don't care about the concubine, what kind of woman is this, I really want to see it." ”

Empress Li glanced at the emperor, looked at the queen mother, and said carefully: "Queen Mother, the Shen family must be buried in the fire, otherwise, the third brother would not be like this." ”

At this time, everyone looked at the bed, and saw a big tear flowing from the corner of Zhao Shijiao's eyes, the emperor turned his face away, and looked at the taste in his heart, the queen mother rolled up her sleeves, hid her face and cried. Empress Li cast an admiring look at him.

On the night of the fire, everyone as usual, did not have a premonition that a disaster was about to happen, Shen Wanzhen found some topless new clothes and wanted to give them to Wang Yuerong, and chose a few hairpins, prepared some silver taels, and made a small burden, thinking that Ming'er would send it over, and Wang Yuerong was about to leave Baoyue Nunnery.

At this moment, a faint noise came from outside the house, Shen Wanzhen sounded a little familiar, Qiao Shan was laying out the kang, heard the sound, hurriedly put down the mattress in his hand, and ran out to see, Shen Wanzhen's room was far away, and the voice of the man who seemed to be Su Niangzi's voice appeared and disappeared, intermittently, and lasted for most of the hour, and the front stopped.

Xiuju took the mattress thrown down by Qiao Shan, continued to spread the kang, and gossiped: "This Su Niangzi's man has been seeing the sky for the past few days, going to the place where Su Niangzi lives to make noise, and when he sees Su Niangzi, he pulls on it, as if asking her what she wants." ”

"Mrs. Su is a monk, and she can still keep very mundane things, but she won't give it to him." Shen Wanzhen wondered, how could Su Niangzi be greedy for money when she saw through the red dust.

As she was talking, Qiao Shan came back, and when she entered the door, she saw her little face flushed, as if she was very angry, "Su Niangzi's man used to look fine, we only said that he was pitiful, and let his mother and the woman hurt him, and now I know that this man is really not a thing." ”

Qiao Shan gasped angrily, "Why did you say why he was entangled, it turned out to be two family heirloom treasures, said what kind of jade, priceless, said that when he got married, he gave Su Niangzi a love object, and now the family is poor, thinking of that piece of jade, he came to ask Su Niangzi for it, at first he took people back, and the treasure naturally went back, not admitting that Su Niangzi converted to Buddhism, and her man was in a hurry now, and he must return what he gave her. ”

"Su Niangzi is dedicated to the Buddha, it will be rare such mundane things, give him something, and save him from always entanglement." Shen Wanzhen has no good impression of this man.

Qiao Shan picked up the cup from the table, took a sip of water, and wiped her mouth, "That's what I said, but when Su Niangzi came to the nunnery, she was just in time to renovate and rebuild the Baoyue Nunnery, so she donated those two treasures to repair the nunnery. ”

"It's also his man who regrets it, thinking of his original affection, he turned back to her, and he made trouble for a long time, and he still has such thoughts, Su Niangzi is only afraid that he will see through him a long time ago, so he insists on becoming a monk and refuses to go back with him." Shen Wanzhen glanced at the front nunnery along the window, and looked down on this man in her heart.

"But people are poor, and they don't want to lose face, and the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and he can do anything." Xiuju heard her say that she felt that this man was a little scary, and her hands did not stop, she climbed on the kang and laid out the mattress.

"His home was emptied by the woman, but the emaciated camel still has a bit of a foundation, the woman came back and ran away with all the family wealth, this time there is no livelihood, he is not poor and anxious, and he has no skills, and he has no strength, he can't do anything, he is a waste." Qiao Shan said in a contemptuous tone, still angry, and spat twice on the ground.

The three of them cleaned up, washed and settled while talking.

The kang is burning hot, the quilt is hot, it is very comfortable to lie in, Shen Wanzhen is sleeping very soundly, she is having a sweet dream, in the dream she vaguely returned to the house in her previous life, her parents and relatives are there, talking around, and suddenly she dreamed that he was walking towards her, with a smile on his face, and suddenly it was very hot in summer, dog days, out of breath....... hot or hot....

Qin Changming, the Taoist priest of Qingfeng Temple, couldn't sleep this night, Xiaohong found him and whispered that her girl was about to leave here, his heart was instantly lost, as if the most important thing was lost, and since then he couldn't see Miss Wang's smile, he couldn't sit still, and his heart was flustered.

In the past three years, he has become a Taoist monk, carrying water, chopping wood, and doing some heavy work every day, he has never done these heavy jobs, only to study, but even if he suffers a lot, he is willing, just to guard her from afar, accompany her, occasionally glance, he is content, but she is leaving, going to a far place.

He thought about it, but he couldn't give up on her in his heart, and thought to himself, when she went there, he would go there with him, and wait for her silently, and he had made up his mind that he wanted to take advantage of the darkness to find her and leave with her.

He packed up his things overnight, took off his robe, dressed up as an ordinary person, and quietly went out of the Qingfeng Temple, along the path, and walked to the Baoyue Nunnery, the mountain breeze was very cold at night, he didn't feel cold, and remembered that he could walk with her, his heart was hot, and he couldn't help but smirk secretly.

Halfway through the mountain road, he looked up into the distance, looked down at the road under his feet, and quickened his pace, but walked two steps, always felt that something was wrong, and looked up in the direction of the Baoyue Nunnery, suddenly, he vaguely found that the Baoyue Nunnery had a very bright place, the light was getting bigger and bigger, he stayed in the mountain for three years, and suddenly woke up, it was fire, it was fire, he was so shocked that his heart beat wildly, and he ran towards Baoyue Nunnery.

The autumn wind is blowing, I am afraid of sparks, this one, soon the fire spread rapidly, approaching the small courtyard where Wang Yuerong and they lived, Qin Changming saw that the fire was fierce, and it was about to burn to Wang Yuerong's residence, thinking that they must be asleep and did not know the road, and hated to run faster, he threw off the burden, ran lifelessly, ran to the corner gate of the small courtyard, the fire had been hidden from the top of several halls, tonight it was a northeast wind, the fire borrowed the wind, the flames licked the house, and rushed to the small courtyard.

Qin Changming couldn't take a breath, so he banged on the door vigorously, shaking the small corner door to a clanging sound, Shen Wanzhen woke up in her sleep, looked out of the window in a daze, and was stunned.

Outside the window, it was fiery red, illuminating half of the sky, turning over and going to the ground, running outside, waking up the sleeping Xiuju and Qiaoshan, Shen Xuanzhen's clothes didn't have time to wear, picked up the box in the kang and ran out of the door with the embroidered chrysanthemum, at this time, Wang Yuerong and the two maids also ran out.

Mrs. Qian's shoes were not properly put on, and she also ran out from below.

Without further ado, without bothering to say hello, a few people ran to the corner gate, opened the door, saw Qin Changming standing outside, and saw Wang Yuerong pull up and run, the fire was bright, and the mountain road was also real.

A group of people stumbled, sprinting without looking back, Wang Yuerong is a big family lady, this time her mother died of illness, she was sad and sad, and fell ill, her body had just recovered, she ran and ran, she couldn't run, panting and puffing; "You go first, and I'll be there later." Life and death are at stake, she doesn't want to bother everyone, so as she spoke, she pulled out the hand that pulled Qin Changming up, Qin Changming saw this, didn't say a word, picked her up and ran.

The two little maids followed closely behind, and the maids worked hard all year round, and their health was good, and no one was left behind.

Shen Wanzhen's body was light, and it was not difficult to run, and the group ran wildly all the way until dawn, Wang Yuerong on Qin Changming's back glanced backwards, and said in a trembling voice: "It's okay, go far." ”

Everyone stopped, seeing that the fire had been left far behind.

It was raining lightly, the mountain road was slippery, several people were in a hurry, fell down and got up, and the sky was bright and the official road was on, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

intercepted a carriage that had entered the capital in advance, but fortunately it was an empty car back to the capital, and when I sat on it, my heart was steady.

An autumn rain and a cold, Tiandao is also cold, Wang Yuerong ran all the way, the eldest lady's body, there was unbearable, she ran out in a hurry at night, and she didn't bring clothes, only a middle coat, Qin Changming took off her shirt and put it on her, Shen Wanzhen and Xiuju Qiaoshan Qian Pozi crowded together to keep warm.

Entered the capital, there is nowhere to stay, it is still early, a few people found an inn nearby, settled down, the shopkeeper saw that these people were embarrassed, asked, Zhi Lu Dao hugged the moon nunnery fire and fled out, very sympathetic, called hot water, let a few wash their faces, and found a few clean clothes for a few people to change into, a few people thanked the shopkeeper for her kindness, stayed.

Soon, Wang Yuerong started a fever, her face was red, and it was hot, Qin Changming went out to ask for a doctor, and Shen Wanzhen guarded her, wiping her face, hands, neck, and ears with clean water to cool down.

The doctor came, took the medicine, Qin Changming kept watch day and night, her fever gradually subsided, and the person slowly got better.

This delay lasted another five or six days. Shen Xuanzhen asked Mrs. Qian to go out to investigate, I heard that the Baoyue Nunnery was burned down, and the teachers and wives inside were burned to death, and on the same day, they could also run out, but the nuns had feelings for the Baoyue Nunnery, and the monks had nowhere to go when they wanted to come out, so they didn't leave, and they were turned into ashes with the Baoyue Nunnery. When Shen Wanzhen and the others heard this, they felt miserable, and they all cried.

Wang Yuerong recovered from her illness, after the catastrophe, she saw through a lot, no longer like the original attachment to a relationship that should not be insisted on, but people are a lot happier, during her illness, Qin Changming waited for her, she was grateful, thinking that in the past few years, he has been silently waiting for her, if she hadn't saved herself this time, he would have been buried in the sea of fire, and he had feelings for him, the eyes of the two when they looked at each other, tender and sweet, Shen Wanzhen and others saw it, and felt that the two were also a good match, Wang Yuerong was beautiful, and Qin Changming was handsome.

A few people discussed the way out, Qin Changming said; "My hometown is in the northwest, I have a house and land, and in the past few years since I came out, the farmers have planted it, and entrusted a clan uncle to take care of it, which is more than enough to feed a few people."

Wang Yuerong looked at Shen Wanzhen and said, "Since Sister Shen is homeless, you can go to the northwest with us to live." "She and Qin Gongzi are already called you and me, regardless of each other.

Shen Wanzhen said: "I'm not used to living in the north, and I want to live in the south." She had already thought about it, since she had left the capital, she wanted to go to the south to live, and it was not home there anyway. She also has a private thought, she was a southerner in her previous life and wants to go back to her hometown in the south to live.

"Where does my sister want to go?" Wang Yuerong asked with concern.

"Suzhou Mansion, Wujiang County." She lived there for the rest of her life.

"Sister, are you all going to the south?" Wang Yuerong looked at Xiuju, Qiao Shan and Qian Pozi.

Shen Wanzhen said to Mrs. Qian: "If my mother is unwilling to go to the south with me, the two shops will leave a tofu shop, and you and your husband and wife will have a livelihood." ”

Shen Wanzhen had already discussed with Mrs. Qian's man and Mama Yan, and immediately sold the two shops, and the money was in hand, so that she could go there to re-establish the shops, how could the shops in the south be cheaper than those in the capital, maybe the money from the sale of the two shops in the capital could put a decent faΓ§ade.

"I said that the master said, follow the master, the master will go there, and help the master take care of the shop, my old couple has no children, and they will live there when they go." Mrs. Qian is determined to follow her master.

Shen Xuanzhen asked Xiuju and Qiaoshan, "If you don't want to go, I will entangle you, return the deed of sale to the two of you, and go there as you like." ”

"The two of us also follow the master." Xiuju and Qiaoshan also planned to follow Shen Wanzhen to the south.

"Did Xiaohong and Xiaoqing also follow your master?" Shen Xuanzhen looked at Wang Yuerong's two maids, who were still young, and they didn't know if there was a place to go.

"I follow the master, where the master goes, I will go there?" Xiaohong didn't hesitate at all.

"I also follow the master, I have been sold to the master since I was a child, and I don't know who my father and mother are." Xiaoqing also expressed his position. These two girls are also hard-working, and they have no place to stay.

"Since you are willing to endure hardships with me, I will take you with me, and when you find a good family to marry, I will also feel at ease." Wang Yuerong was relieved, it was rare for these two maids to be loyal, and they would not abandon them when they were down.

Qin Changming clenched Wang Yuerong's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer, I have a small family fortune, and I can live a prosperous life." ”

In this way, it was settled, Shen Wanzhen took her own people to the south, and Wang Yuerong took her people to the northwest.

"When will my sister leave?" Wang Yuerong asked, the date of her departure had been discussed with Qin Changming.

"When these two shops are sold, I will leave when I get the money." Shen Xuanzhen had already told Mrs. Qian's man that she and Mrs. Yan would dispose of the shop as soon as possible.

"When will my sister leave?" Shen Wanzhen asked.

"Let's go after getting ready, at night, the sky is cold, and the snow road is not easy to walk." Qin Changming replied.

Wang Yuerong went back to prepare things, the farther north it went, the colder it became, and when he went to the northwest, he was afraid that it would be winter, and the winter clothes had to be prepared, and it was too late to make them, so he went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy ready-made ones and bring them to wear on the road.

Prepare dry food for the road as well.

There is not much silver left in the past three years brought by Qin Changming, Shen Wanzhen thought that if there was no Qin Gongzi, he would have been buried in the fire a long time ago, and he could not repay the life-saving grace, so he sent them some silver taels in case there was an emergency on the road, Qin Changming was embarrassed to accept it, Shen Wanzhen was stuffed in Wang Yuerong's hand, and Wang Yuerong said gratefully: "I want my sister to break the fee." ”

"You and I are like sisters, and my sister's words are out of sight." Shen Wanzhen handed her a large bun of dim sum again, "Leave it for hungry food on the road." "In ancient times, when you went far away, some places were sparsely populated, and you couldn't see people for a long time, so you had to bring your own dry food when you went out.

The next day, Shen Wanzhen sent Wang Yuerong and Qin Changming to the official road and hired a carriage, just enough for four people to sit.

Shen Wanzhen watched the carriage go away, Wang Yuerong leaned on the back window and beckoned to her, "Sister take care, we will meet again." ”

Xiuju was a little melancholy, and Mrs. Qian said: "This Qin Gongzi seems to be able to be good to Miss Wang." ”

"Disasters and disasters will never be abandoned, and ordinary days can be kept."

After going through so many hardships and finally coming together, they will definitely be happy, Shen Wanzhen blessed them in her heart.

After Wang Yuerong left, Mrs. Qian's man sold the shop tightly, and Shen Wanzhen and the others took advantage of this gap to prepare to go on the road.

Waiting for the money in a hurry, there is not much competition in the price, the shop will be fast, and after half a month, the delivery will be clear, the loss of money is limited, and Shen Wanzhen will not care.

Scheduled to go on the road the next day, things are ready to stop, one day free, Shen Wanzhen decided to go to Xishan Baoyue Nunnery to see, since the fire, she has never been back, thinking about the net space master, Su Niangzi, whether to die in the fire, or escape.

The car went out of the city gate, the sky was hazy, and it was almost winter, and the car walked to the west mountain, and it was raining and snowflakes in the sky.

The car stopped not far from the Baoyue Nunnery, Shen Wanzhen was wearing a snow green cloak, embroidered chrysanthemum with an oil-paper umbrella, the ground was falling with snowflakes and turned into rain, Shen Xuanzhen's soft-bottomed cloud silk embroidered shoes couldn't help water, the soles were wet with rain, Xiuju looked at the sky, "Master, it seems that the rain and snow won't stop, just look at it and go back." ”

Qiao Shan supported her, and the three of them walked towards the place where Baoyue Nunnery once was.

The wind is blowing, the wind carries rain and snow, rolls up snowflakes, fluttering, hitting the cheeks wet, the visibility in front of the eyes is not high, and I vaguely see a ruined wall that is burned gray and black, lonely, very desolate.

Shen Wanzhen's master and servant walked towards the ruins, suddenly, Shen Wanzhen looked at the person in front of him, facing the ruins, and did not have an umbrella, let the wind and rain and snow bully him, his body was immovable, and he looked around the ruins, he was alone, the tall back was lonely in the rain and snow, and the whole person gave people a sense of heavy sadness, and Shen Wanzhen's heart couldn't help but shrink.

"It seems to be the prince of Anyang in front." Qiao Shan whispered in Shen Wanzhen's ear.

Shen Wanzhen looked closely, the back was familiar, shocked for a while, she had difficulty breathing, her heart ached, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't shout, her throat was choked, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, the foreground was blurred, and the familiar figure was blurred.

She pushed away Qiao Shan's hand, and involuntarily walked slowly towards the man.

She took one step at a time, her body was light and fluttering, as if she was unconscious, the cold weather, the rain and fog, her heart seemed to shine into a beam of light, and she walked towards the place where he stood.

He heard the shallow breath behind him, slowly turned around, the two looked at each other, only half a step apart, he was stunned, in an instant, a huge surprise overwhelmingly struck, he burst into tears, his heart beat wildly, strode forward, hugged her into his arms, tightly, tightly, like a dream muttered: "Is this true?" Not a dream? ”

He wrapped his arms around her, so tight that she couldn't breathe, and she choked up and whispered, "It's true."

For a long time, he saw that she was having difficulty breathing, and her arms were loose, but he was still unwilling to let go, afraid that if she let go, she would slip away, and he said softly but firmly in her ear: "I want to be with you." ”

She was in a trance, thinking it was a hallucination, and he repeated again, "I want to be with you, never to be separated." Finally a tear slipped down her face.

"I got the news of the fire in Baoyue Nunnery, and when I arrived, this place became like this, I fainted for two days, and after I woke up, I have been waiting here." He whispered in her ear.

"I know that you won't die, you will definitely appear suddenly on that day, and the heavens were moved by me, and finally made me wait." His arms tightened again.

She fell on his chest, thinking to herself, he stayed here every day, waiting indefinitely, how much her heart hurt, her nose was sore.

"I will marry you as my princess." A small cluster of flame danced in his deep dark eyes, and he finally said the words that had been held in his heart for a long time, and he could not let her go anymore. This time he was lost and regained, and he knew that he couldn't live without her.

She buried her head in his chest, did not dare to look up into his eyes, and said with difficulty, "I am not qualified to be your princess." ”

"You have, you are the most qualified to be my princess." His tone is domineering and tough, and there is no doubt about it.

She was sad and couldn't bear to refuse, but she still struggled to spit out, "I don't want to compete with other women for favor." ”

"You don't need to compete for favor, I do everything possible to please you and get your favor."

She wanted to say, I don't want to share a husband with other women, but I can't say it, in ancient times, this kind of thing was regarded as a woman's immorality, not to mention that the establishment of a side concubine is the emperor's holy decree, not a child's play, women are not immoral, if a man divorces his wife for no reason, he will be criticized, and the etiquette is not allowed.

She sighed slightly, her big eyes were filled with mist, and she said softly; "If you hadn't met me today, would you have waited any longer?"

"One year, two years, I'll keep waiting." His firm voice rang in her ears.

She burst into tears and choked up, "I'm not worthy of you, you should marry a better woman." ”

He hugged her and kissed the tears on her cheeks, "No one is better than you." ”

In the distance, Xiuju and Qiao Shan looked around, and saw that in the rain and snow, the prince and the master hugged each other tightly, Qiao Shan wiped her tears, and the umbrella in Xiu Ju's hand fell to the ground, and she didn't know what to do.

Shen Wanzhen sat in the car, through the window, and saw that the rain and snow outside were tight for a while, while Zhao Shizhen followed the car on horseback, unwilling to leave a step, his clothes were soaked, and Shen Wanzhen's eyes were red.

"The master will marry the prince." Qiao Shan's mouth was happy and soft-hearted, and she couldn't bear to see it, so she persuaded.

"Yes! The prince's affection for his master is hard to find in the world. Xiuju was also quite moved.

Shen Wanzhen was conflicted in her heart, the concubines of the king of Anyang were in groups, and the clean days she wanted didn't go back to the house after a few days, and she competed with many women for a man.

Sending Shen Wanzhen back to the inn, Zhao Shijiao then entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and begged the Queen Mother to agree that he would marry Shen Wanzhen as his concubine.
