"Okay, since the good wife and the concubine have no objections, I will make my own decision." Huo Jingcheng said, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Ning Wanshu, the concubine of the king of Beizhong, came all the way to Nanqian with the army, the princess treated the widow of the descendant, the two hit it off at first sight, Ning Wanshu vowed to follow the princess for the rest of her life, and was willing to stay in the East Palace to serve the maids. Until the East Palace was called emperor in the Southern Wilderness, Ning Wanshu thought about the overall situation, and for the sake of the princess, she took the lead and went to the Southern Wilderness alone to contact the prince. Unexpectedly, she encountered an accident on the way, and returned miserably, the crown princess remembered Ning Wanshu's love and righteousness, and was willing to marry Jin Lan with her, and advised me to accept her as a concubine and take care of the rest of her life. How is it? ”

The two women looked at him in unison.

The queen's eyes were as light as water, and she said slowly: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, and the concubines should cooperate." I just don't know what position His Majesty is going to give her? ”

Huo Jingcheng thought for a while and said, "The first of the nine concubines is Ning Zhaoyi. ”

The queen said succinctly: "It's okay." Then Your Majesty will sit down first, and the concubine will go in and see what is going on inside. So saying, he got up and went into the temple.

Under the corridor, only the emperor and concubine were left sitting opposite each other. The two looked at each other, and Yao Duran said with a smile: "Your Majesty is good or bad." ”

The corners of Huo Jingcheng's lips raised slightly: "How can you say this?" ”

Yao Duran said: "The queen mother is dedicated to your reputation, and she is reluctant to do anything about Ning Wanshu. It's good for you, your own romantic debt still has to let the queen mother take this name and receive this field. Alas, it is difficult to be a wife, and it is even more difficult to be a wife. ”

Huo Jingcheng listened to it and chuckled twice: "This is the husband and wife singing and protecting each other." But what's the point of comparison between the two of you? ”

Yao Duran lowered his eyes: "Your Majesty is too worried, the concubine and the queen are good, how can there be any more energy." ”

After hearing this, Huo Jingcheng suddenly got up and sat down beside her, and said, "You can't see it?" I understand my wife. The queen has nothing to say about being a mother and a wife, she will never tolerate a woman because of her selfishness and jealousy, she will only not tolerate a woman in order to maintain my holy reputation. Then Ning Wanshu is acceptable to stay in the East Palace and hide her, but now that she wants to go to the light, it will naturally damage my holy reputation, so she is reluctant to accept it. ”

After that, he also pinched the Yingluo on her waist and played with it, and then continued: "It's just that since you came to the harem, she has also learned to be smart, and she wants to push you out to take the lead in everything." She must have thought that you wouldn't allow Ning Wanshu either, so she asked you for your idea, wanting you to stop Ning Wanshu by speaking out. And you, really smart, just don't fall for her, push a thousand miles with a word, and leave it clean. When the queen saw that you had no objection, she had no need to do this unpleasant thing, so she happily said that she had no objection, knocked out her teeth and swallowed blood. ”

Yao Duran listened to his analysis, and every word was reasonable, and there was a burst of admiration in his heart, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, I don't mean to compete with the queen mother, but I really don't want to get involved in this matter." Even though I am favored by His Majesty, I cannot be pampered and take a hand in everything. ”

Huo Jingcheng was relieved to hear this, praised it, and said with a light smile: "I understand." You're doing a good job, keep it up for the future, and don't stand up for the queen. She is a wife, she wants to advise herself, what she wants to do, she will do it herself, what kind of demeanor is it to use a favored concubine as a gun? ”

He could say that she couldn't answer it, so he kept silent. A sigh swelled up in my heart. Today, the reason why the queen thinks that she can't tolerate Ning Wanshu is for a reason.

There are more and more palace people who are busy working in front of the side hall, those who send dresses and those who send food......

The two waited for a while, and Ruomei finally came out: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen, you can go in." ”

When the two entered, the incense in the temple had covered up all the smells. And Ning Wanshu on the bed was a big change, all her embarrassment and dirt were washed away, and she was changed into a clean and light dress, and her messy hair was also combed with osmanthus oil, and hung down softly and loosely on her shoulders, revealing her pale and sharp face. The palace ladies were meticulous, and they also applied light makeup to her, and at this time, when they looked at it again, her complexion had not changed, and she was beautiful and charming, but her expression was wooden and depressed, far less agile and flowing than before, and she looked forward to it. She was half-leaning on the head of the bed, with a thin skirt on her legs, and the porridge bowl was empty on the low table at hand.

The palace ladies moved out of the way, and Huo Jingcheng slowly came to the bed.

There was a surge of people in the afterglow, Ning Wanshu raised her eyes violently, and when she saw the handsome face that overlapped with her memory, her eyes lit up violently, and she was stunned for a long time, before she slowly turned red, and murmured ruthlessly: "Your Majesty......"

Huo Jingcheng's eyes were complicated, he sat down on the edge of her bed, and said softly: "Wanshu, you have suffered." ”

The two haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and goodbye at this time, one is already a gentleman, and the other is an old man. Ning Wanshu thought that he had changed, and even if she saw him, she didn't dare to be as intimate as before. But at this time, she found that his attitude was gentle, no different from before, and she was finally relieved, and tears rippled into his arms, and she couldn't stop crying.

Huo Jingcheng grabbed her with one hand, slowly patted her on the back by the way, and muttered, "Okay, it's okay, don't be afraid." ”

Ning Wanshu cried in his arms for a long time, and then the crying gradually stopped, leaving his arms and sitting down, with a face of pear blossoms and rain, sad and moving.

Yao Duran finally spoke out to her: "Sister Ning, I'm Duran, do you remember?" ”

Ning Wanshu listened, turned her eyes to look at her through the crowd, a moment of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she realized it later: "Sister Twilight? You...... Are you really alive? And became His Majesty's concubine? ”

Yao Duran smiled faintly and nodded slightly.

Ning Wanshu was pleased: "Congratulations to my sister, the peak is turning, and the willows are bright." ”

Yao Duran understood that she had always been in the East Palace, and naturally knew about her various encounters and changes, she was abandoned by Qiao Fengzhi and dragged into the affair case, until she burned herself to death, and now she is reborn and goodbye. For now, she can only say one sentence.

"Sister Ning, what about you, what happened? Why is this happening? Having already taken the tone, Yao Duran simply asked everyone's questions.

Ning Wanshu listened, lowered her eyes and wept again, and after a long time, she slowly looked at Huo Jingcheng and said, "Your Majesty, Wanshu was going to the Southern Wilderness to find you, but when she arrived at Songfu City in two days, she ......."

She couldn't go on, and there was silence in the air.

The queen persuaded: "Wanshu, let's make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

Ning Wanshu wiped her tears and nodded, and then continued: "It was already night, I rode a horse and walked in the wilderness, and I was about to enter Songfu City...... Who knew that they still caught up, and said that they would reap both wealth and beauty today. I was so frightened that I couldn't choose the way to go, and when I saw them getting closer and closer, I jumped off my horse, and rolled down the steep slope by the roadside, trying to get out of their sight, and that's it...... I broke my leg and fainted. When I woke up again, it was still night, and I found myself rolling into the grass by the lake, just hiding, but I also heard the group looking for me by the lake, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move, but fortunately they left after a while, and I escaped. ”

The crowd was embarrassed to hear it. Huo Jingcheng asked, "What happened later?" ”

Ning Wanshu sniffed and said, "Later, I dragged my broken leg along the steep slope for half the night, and finally climbed on the road, and then I didn't dare to stop for a moment and finally climbed into Songfu City at dawn......

"I am not familiar with life, I have no money, my leg is broken, my body is so badly broken, I can only crawl, the road is stained with blood, the appearance is miserable and terrible, the people in the city are like snakes and scorpions to me, I can't ask a kind person for help."

As she spoke, she hid her face again and began to cry, crying and saying, "Your Majesty, the people of the world are not kissable. This peaceful and prosperous world is bright and prosperous, but I cannot be redeemed in it, but it is like falling into hell. For a whole month, I spent a whole month on the streets, picking up the pits that people had discarded, eating them, sleeping on the streets at night, spending night after night in fear, and my leg injuries were getting worse and worse......"

After she finished crying, several palace ladies in the palace quietly wiped away their tears. But Ruo Mei's eyes are complicated. Because she remembered what she said after Ning Shu ran away with money.

"It's still the reason why the mother said, the mother has always been magnanimous, so spare her once! But she doesn't necessarily have good fruit to eat! Isn't she a runner? It's better to run and break your leg! ”

Who knows, as a saying goes, the former Ning Shu and the current Ning Wanshu really broke their legs......

At this end, Huo Jingcheng listened to what happened to her, pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled lightly, wanting to blame her for why she didn't listen to the queen's advice and secretly ran away. Thinking about it, Huo Jingcheng said: "It's all over, and I will give you a comfortable place in the future." For now, let the Imperial Doctor heal your leg first. ”

Ruomei said: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has already arrived, and he is waiting outside the palace." ”

"Well, let them in." Huo Jingcheng got up and moved out of the way, pacing slowly on the ground.

The three imperial doctors all went inside and knelt on the ground to salute, and Huo Jingcheng said, "Go and take a look at her leg injury." ”

The imperial doctors came to the bed, and Gong E gently uncovered the thin jacket on Ning Wanshu's legs, and when the three imperial doctors saw it, they were all frightened, looked at each other, and looked at each other.

"What's wrong?" Huo Jingcheng said, approaching the bed.

Ning Wanshu's eyes were quick, and she pulled through the thin jacket, and when she was about to cover it, the movement in her hand suddenly stopped. Eventually, she slowly let go of the thin jacket in her hand, and hung her head and stopped moving.

"This ......" Sure enough, Huo Jingcheng was also surprised when he saw her injury.

"Your Majesty, I'll talk about it after the old minister's careful examination." The three imperial physicians then went around her leg and examined her. After a while, a imperial doctor replied: "Your Majesty, this injury is incurable!" ”

Huo Jingcheng frowned: "Why is it difficult to treat?" ”
