Five days have passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, Yao Duran has been recuperating for half a month, and at this time, he has recovered from his injuries and is in good health, and the palace people in the palace can finally relax. Yao Duran remembered their hard work and served them very carefully, so he took out some rewards from the treasury and gave them all the blessings.

The palace people gathered in the courtyard very happily, kneeling on the ground to thank them and show their loyalty.

It just so happened that Qin An came at this time, and when he arrived in front of the hall, he smiled and said: "Oh, the mother is very good, and this wanton palace is so lively today." The slave said goodbye to the mother. ”

Yao Duran sat on the rocking chair under the porch, raised his hand to avoid his salutes, and smiled decently: "With the blessing of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, the palace is already very good." I don't know what happened when Grandpa Qin suddenly came? ”

Qin An didn't answer, suddenly turned to the palace people in the courtyard, and said loudly: "Niangniang's body is only healed, you still need to recuperate, don't be noisy here, what should you do." ”

Qin An's words had their own weight, and the palace people also acquiesced when they saw Yao Duran, so they saluted and dispersed.

Yao Duran knew that he had something important, and his expression became a little serious.

Sure enough, Qin Anshen approached mysteriously and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, something is coming!" Ning Wanshu was found back by the forward battalion, and as far as the matter of Fang Cai was concerned, she had been quietly sent to the Fenghuan Palace of the queen's mother. ”

"Really got it back?" Yao Duran didn't know what kind of mood she was in when she asked this sentence.

Qin An lowered his voice and said: "Niangniang, it is true that I have found it back, and the minions have not seen anyone yet, but I heard Lord Yang, the commander of the forward battalion, say that Ning Wanshu is extremely miserable, just like a person who was fished from hell." His Majesty was not in a good mood when he heard this, and he couldn't leave because he was busy with government affairs, so he ordered the servants to come and invite Niangniang to go to Fenghuan Palace, saying that you and Ning Wanshu are old acquaintances, and you should be able to appease and appease. ”

Yao Duran suddenly realized, her heart was complicated, she couldn't imagine what the 'extremely miserable' Ning Wanshu would be like, and why would she be 'extremely miserable'?

Qin An instructed again: "Niangniang, Ning Wanshu's identity is sensitive, and His Majesty doesn't know how to settle in the palace now, so Niangniang should not show her voice first." ”

Yao Duran pressed his complicated feelings, got up and said, "Okay, you go back to your life, and the palace will go to Fenghuan Palace for a trip." ”

......

After half a month, I entered Fenghuan Palace again, and everything was as usual. The palace courtyard is full of green trees and flowers, pavilions and terraces, and the corridor is winding. The palace people shuttled through it in an orderly manner, and the wind and waves were so calm that they couldn't see anything at all.

However, after entering the queen's side hall, the abnormality was revealed instantly.

Peculiar smell! First, a strange smell came to my nose. Yao Duran frowned, slowly went deeper alone, and finally saw the people who were surrounded by the queen and a group of palace ladies on the bed.

At the shocking moment, Yao Duran really couldn't believe that the person on the bed was the Ning Wanshu in his memory, the charming, bright, soft-spoken, and smiling Ning Wanshu. No, it's not like ......

I saw that the woman on the bed curled herself up in a ball and was sleeping in a daze, her hair unkempt and her clothes were wrapped in rags, and her black clothes had been worn out to the original color. His long hair was messy, covering most of his face, and he didn't see his eyebrows. Shaped like a beggar on a street corner, as if he had been rolling in the mud for half a life, and like a terrible ghost, as if he had been abused in hell thousands of times. The whole person smelled of peculiar smell, blood.

The beauty Ning Wanshu has completely changed. Yao Duran looked at it in a daze, so frightened that she wanted to escape. After being stunned for a long time, he finally came to the bed and made a salute to the queen. The queen spoke to her briefly, then looked at the person on the bed, and sighed, "Let's wake her up first." ”

"Wanshu? Wanshu? Wake up, wake up, wake up......"

Yao Duran didn't say anything for a long time, and the shock in her heart made her really wonder what kind of appeasement could work on such a person after waking her up.

The queen was patient, and shouted softly for a while, and the miserable woman on the bed finally moved slightly, revealing an eye from her messy hair, and slowly opened it.

When the queen saw that she was awake, she hurriedly said, "Wanshu? Are you awake? ”

The eye covered by the messy hair turned dullly and blankly for a moment, and whispered, "This is really the palace...... Really a royal palace ......"

The queen said: "Yes, this is indeed the palace, Wanshu, you have come back safely." ”

Her eyes rolled, and finally landed on the queen's body, Ning Wanshu said in a weak voice: "Crown princess...... The Queen? ”

Seeing that she was conscious, the queen nodded and said, "It's the palace." ”

Suddenly, Ning Wanshu became emotional, looked left and right for a while, and said, "Your Majesty!" What about Your Majesty? Your Majesty, did he see me like this?? ”

The queen hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, Your Majesty has not been here yet, but Your Majesty will come to see you later, so this palace will order someone to serve you to bathe and make up, otherwise how will you see you later?" ”

Ning Wanshu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and nodded without hesitation.

The palace ladies breathed a sigh of relief, and then pulled her over and removed the miserable rags on her body. Just like this, the atmosphere instantly froze, and there was heaviness in the solidification, and it also forced this heaviness into the hearts of the people present.

Everyone was shocked, staring at her legs in unison, stunned in this freeze.

After Yao Duran saw it clearly, he suddenly covered his mouth and covered back the exclamation that he was about to blurt out.

Ning Wanshu's right leg...... It was broken at the knee! The flesh and skin flew up, and a sharp white bone poked out of the flesh! Black blood stains had congealed around the fracture, and the dead flesh had rotted and emitted a foul stench! The severed calf is uncontrollable, and is hanging on the bed in an arc that is impossible for a normal person to do......

Ning Wanshu also stared at her legs, and only one of the exposed eyes shed tears.

What happened to her??!!

At this moment, Yao Duran was sad and breathless. What happened to a good person to become what he is like in front of him?

"Concubine Chen? What's in a daze? Get out of the way and let someone help her to bathe behind the screen. ”

The queen spoke, Yao Duran finally came back to her senses, turned sideways to get out of the way, and the palace ladies hugged and supported Ning Wanshu, who was wrapped in a nightgown, behind the screen.

"Take out one person, go and light the incense first, Your Majesty can't stand the slightest smell. Also, put on a new cover on the bed, and then go to the dining room to prepare some food, mainly light, and bring it to the side hall as soon as possible. By the way, send someone to invite a few more imperial doctors to come and wait! ”

"Yes, Queen."

Everyone was busy, and it seemed that only Yao Duran, who came by order, seemed to be watching the excitement, and it didn't play any role at all, and he was always stunned.

After the queen finished instructing the matter, she looked back and saw that her face was not good, and said, "Concubine Chen, what's wrong?" You...... Aren't you scared? Hurry, hurry up with the palace to the outside to breathe, if you can't do it, go back to the palace. ”

Yao Dui calmed her mind and said softly: "Queen Mother, the concubine is indeed frightened, but it's okay, Xie Niangniang cares." ”

The two left the dormitory together, came to the corridor outside the hall and sat down, Yao Duran took a deep breath, and said with emotion: "Niangniang, the world is really impermanent, a good person, he has become like this." ”

The queen sighed lightly: "Yes, fortunately, she survived, and now she is back, but I don't know what happened to her, the palace is afraid of stimulating her, and she doesn't dare to ask, just wait for His Majesty to come and see if she can ask anything." ”

"That's what the mother said." Yao Duran said.

The queen turned her eyes to look at her, and suddenly said with a long meaning: "Concubine Chen, do you remember what the Japanese Palace said before leaving?" What you want to know will soon know. Now, you know? ”

Yao Duran was stunned when she met her eyes, the two looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly, her heart was shocked, and she was enlightened in an instant!

"Thank you Niangniang, the concubine knows." Yao Duran turned his face back, and when he lowered his eyes, he hid the coldness in his eyes.

Sure enough, there are few credible people around, regardless of interests, everyone will wear a mask of kindness, and once interests are involved, the mask of kindness will be shattered.

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

As soon as the two heard that Huo Jingcheng was coming, they hurriedly got up to greet them.

"The concubine greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

Huo Jingcheng came closer, looked at the two of them, no one helped, said goodbye, and then asked straight to the point: "What is the situation of Ning Wanshu?" ”

The queen replied: "Your Majesty, Ning Wanshu is sober, it is her legs...... The delay has been severe. ”

Huo Jingcheng was silent, and he stepped into the hall.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

At this moment, the two women spoke in unison.

Huo Jingcheng paused and looked at the two of them: "What's wrong?" ”

The queen said: "Your Majesty, wait outside first, Ning Wanshu is bathing, and she will not be able to see the car until she has cleaned up." ”

Huo Jingcheng heard this, needless to say, he had already imagined her miserable and dirty appearance. He frowned slightly and asked, "Can you tell what happened to her?" ”

The queen sighed and shook her head: "I haven't had time to ask yet, wait for Your Majesty to ask yourself." ”

"That's it." Huo Jingcheng paced slowly under the corridor, the queen ordered someone to bring a sandalwood chair and beckoned Huo Jingcheng to sit down, and the two women sat on the bench between the columns under the corridor at will.

The three of them waited for news from inside.

Huo Jingcheng lowered his eyes in contemplation, and slowly rotated the jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand with his right hand. Seeing this, the queen suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, there are many people in the palace, and I can't hide Ning Wanshu's affairs for a few days, Your Majesty still has to have an explanation as soon as possible." I wonder how Your Majesty is going to place her? ”

Huo Jingcheng listened, and raised his eyes to look at her: "What idea does the queen have?" ”

The queen didn't answer, but looked at Yao Duran again and asked, "I don't know what Concubine Chen has in mind?" ”

Yao Duran was stunned for a moment, glanced at her, and immediately lowered her eyes: "The queen mother has been promoted, this matter, it is not the turn of the concubine, the concubine is to obey the holy will." ”

Seeing her reply like this, the queen smiled faintly and turned to Huo Jingcheng: "Your Majesty, the concubines and concubines are the same, they have no ideas, and they just follow the holy will." ”

Huo Jingcheng looked left and right at the two of them, and suddenly smiled, there was too much in that smile. The two women avoided his gaze in unison, the queen looked into the hall, and Yao Duran lowered her eyes and played with the Yingluo hanging from her waist.
