Chapter 4 Danger lurks
Not long after returning to the palace, there were more than one or two waves of doctors in and out of King Ling's mansion, because King Ling's injury could not be passed on to the palace, and Lin Li did not dare to ask for a doctor.
"His Royal Highness King Ling's arrow wounded his lungs, and we really can't do anything about it."
Shen Yu and Lin Li sent away a gray-haired old man together, and the people passed dinner at this time, Shen Yu was not very hungry, so Lin Li asked her to go back to the guest room to rest.
Shen Yu went back to the room, sat at the table and poured water into the teacup with the teapot, and poured the water in the teacup back into the teapot.
I don't know if the prince is embarrassed by his father and mother, Shen Yu knows that sooner or later he will have to go back to face all this, but from the moment she decided to escape from the marriage, things have already begun to get complicated, and as the fuse, she doesn't want to go back to the center of the storm too soon.
When she woke up again, the sky was just dark, Shen Yu admired that she could really sleep, and Lin Li didn't know to send someone to call her.
Shen Yu wiped the corners of his mouth, pushed open the door and prepared to go to see Xue Ling.
Out of the door, the huge Lingwang Mansion was silent, Shen Yu paused when he stepped out of the door, and when he fell again, he was cautious, and after walking a few steps, he still didn't see a single person.
Shen Yu felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but speed up the pace of going to King Ling's bedroom.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Li slumped outside the curtain, and through the curtain, he could vaguely see a slender stranger sitting next to Xue Ling's bed, and the figure should be a woman.
"Who's there? Lin Li, Lin Li, wake up! ”
Shen Yu squatted down and patted Lin Li's face, staring at the figure in the curtain with vigilant eyes.
"The one who came is Shen Yu, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion?" The man inside spoke, and stood up.
"Do you recognize me?"
Shen Yu felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he was frightened by her approaching movement and took a few steps back, "Don't come here, what happened to you?" ”
"Don't worry, the girl just put some ecstasy incense to help them take a nap, and they will wake up naturally tomorrow morning without hurting their lives." The man lifted the beaded curtain and came.
Shen Yu looked carefully through the faint light outside the window, and the woman was neatly dressed, with a half-faced wooden mask on her face.
"Who are you?" Shen staggered behind the candlestick by the door.
"Qin Yan, I wonder if your mother has been okay lately?"
"Aunt Qin? Nonsense! Qin Guifei was given to death many years ago, and everyone in the world knows about it. Shen looked at the woman suspiciously, as if she had seen it somewhere, and listening to the voice, she looked like a woman of the same age as her mother.
"No, I'm not dead."
"What are your intentions here? What happened to His Royal Highness King Ling? ”
"Shen Yu, Ling'er is my biological son, I won't harm him."
The woman lit the candlesticks in the house one by one, and finally only the one in front of Shen Yu remained.
"Biological son? Isn't His Royal Highness King Ling's biological mother a Yan noble? ”
"There are some things, I'll talk to you in detail when I cure Ling'er." Qin Yan spoke softly, naturally walked up to Shen Yu, lit the last lamp, and the candle flame jumped, illuminating the two faces that were close to Chi Qi.
Shen Yu somehow, the ghost sent the god to believe her.
The room was lit and looked dim and warm.
Qin Yan took Xue Ling's pulse, and Shen Yu sat on the side and watched silently.
"Ling'er's injury, if I come one day late, I will probably ask Hades to accept it."
"Qin Guifei knows how to heal?" Shen Yu has only heard of Qin Yan from his mother since he was a child, she is the cousin of Shen Yu's mother Qin Jing, her mother said that her aunt is humble and daring, and she was the most courageous of their brothers and sisters when she was a child, but she has never heard that she is also proficient in medical skills.
Qin Yan didn't reply, put down Xue Ling's hand, lifted the bedding, and Governor Shen Yu helped her take it and put it under the bed.
Xue Ling's breathing was weak at the moment, and he couldn't even see the ups and downs of his chest clearly, Qin Yan still unhurriedly unbuttoned his underwear, carefully peeled it off, and untied the blood-stained bandages round by round, Xue Ling's strong chest was suddenly exposed to the air.
Shen Yu almost forgot that there is a difference between men and women, and as soon as this exciting picture appeared, he turned his back in a panic.
Unexpectedly, this guy put on his clothes and looked at his body, and he could see it when he took it off.
Qin Yan fed Xue Ling some wine mixed with hemp boiling, took out some strange rune paper from his arms, took out a pen and changed a few strokes on it, and stacked a few pieces of rune paper together and pasted them on Xue Ling's head.
"Shen Yu, help me protect the talisman paper and stuff something into his mouth, so that he doesn't scream too loudly."
"Use my veil." Shen Yu blushed and turned his head unnaturally, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Xue Ling's naked chest.
Shen Yu kneaded the handkerchief and stuffed it into Xue Ling's mouth, and Qin Yan took the various tools on the bedside and began to clean up the residue of the arrow for Xue Ling.
The sharp blade slashed open the necrotic small piece of skin on his chest, and Xue Ling, who was in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes angrily, and wanted to scream but found that there was a foreign object in his mouth.
Shen Yu was so frightened by his hideous face that he shrank his hand, Qin Yan calmly disinfected the wound with wine, and began to pick up the crumbs one by one with tweezers.
Dark red blood trickled out of his chest, Xue Ling couldn't scream clearly, Shen Yu saw his forehead, and the blue tendons on his neck couldn't bear it, so he took his sleeve and wiped him with beads of sweat like dewdrops.
"Guarding some talisman paper, if you ask him to break away, it's even harder to start." Qin Yan reminded calmly.
Only then did Shen Yu pay attention to the talisman on Xue Ling's forehead, and suddenly remembered the demon technique that One-Eye had used on her today, and thought that this Qin Guifei would also use the talisman.
Shen Yu felt that time had passed particularly long this night, and Xue Ling fainted in pain after struggling a few times.
"Okay, my son has no worries about his life, and then I have to worry about you taking care of it." Qin Jing finally bandaged Xue Ling, covered the futon, tore the talisman paper and took the handkerchief.
Seeing that there was no major problem, Shen Yu quietly withdrew from the room.
The atmosphere in the bedroom was depressed for a long time, and as soon as he came out, Shen Yu exhaled deeply.
Tonight's full moon is in the sky, which is a good time for people to express their feelings about the moon.
It seems that King Ling didn't know that Qin Yan was still alive, so how did he convince himself to accept this fact in the first place.
Shen Yu walked alone on the gray corridor, thinking that when King Ling was cured, she would go back to the prince's mansion to receive the punishment.
The peonies on the side of the railing are blooming brightly, and three or two peonies are also holding flower bones to join in the excitement.
Qin Yan felt that the Lingwang Mansion full of spring still lacked a hostess.
"Shen Yu, I hope that what you have seen and heard today, you will not let the third person know."
Shen Yu was sitting on the railing in a daze at the moon, and Qin Jing walked over with a delicate peony in his hand.
Shen Yu slid down the railing, "Isn't my aunt waiting for His Highness to wake up?" ”
"If I was going to leave quietly, I am now." Qin Yan walked towards Shen Yu, and naturally pinned the peony in his hand to Shen Yu's small ear, Shen Yu's long curly eyelashes flashed, and the doubts in his eyes were even more victorious.
"But it's not fair to him." Shen Yu felt that the woman in front of him was very intimate, "Auntie, can you take off your mask?" ”
Qin Yan said to himself, "Shen Yu, I know you have a lot of questions in your heart, let me tell you some old secrets first, I fell in love with the emperor back then, and Empress Zhao Yue couldn't tolerate me ......"
Shen Yu followed Qin Yan's narration and imagined, as if he was there.
The queen on the soft collapse in the Lu Leek Palace angrily threw the teacup, "She will not see the sun from the evil seed in her stomach!" At this time, Zhao Yue was still dressed very gorgeously.
It turned out that Qin Yan was already pregnant with Liujia, and the queen tried many conspiracies and tricks to make her miscarry.
Qin Yan is anxious to protect his son, Xue Fengying is weak, since the canonization Zhao Yue's power in the palace has stretched to the emperor's neck, Zhao Yue's father is an old minister who followed the emperor to birth and death, after the death of the emperor, the Zhao family is far away from the temple on the surface, and the actual minions are stretched very far.
In order to protect the innocent little life in her belly, Qin Yan begged the emperor to send her to the cold palace and temporarily stabilized Zhao Yue.
Fortunately, Qin Yan successfully gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in the cold palace, one is Xue Ling, and the other is Xue Wenxin, the princess of Wenxin.
At that time, the crown prince was Zhao Yue's young son Xue Mao, Qin Yan was afraid that Xue Ling would be targeted, so he sent him away, claiming to the outside world that he only gave birth to one daughter.
coincided with Yan Guiren, who was from a family with the queen, delivered a childbirth, and both mother and child died, the emperor cooperated with Qin Yan and secretly changed the pillar to say that Xue Ling was the son of Yan Guiren.
When the matter calmed down, Qin Yan asked Xue Ling to take him with him, and the emperor often secretly came to the cold palace to see the two of them, although Xue Ling thought that he had never met his biological mother, but Qin Yan gave him enough love, and he did not regret it at all.
The queen is jealous and loves the emperor, and the person she can't tolerate the most is Qin Yan.
Later, Princess Wenxin strayed into the Jinshu Pavilion, and when she came out, she barely saved her life, and she lost her heart, Qin Yan knew that it was the queen who did it, but she couldn't find evidence.
As Xue Ling grew up, the queen was still not at ease, and began to look for the midwife who delivered Yan Guiren behind her back.
Qin Yan found that she was still investigating, and she was afraid, afraid that the queen would persecute Xue Ling again, so she asked the emperor to give her death and never suffer in the future.
At this point in the story, Qin Yan didn't go any further, and Shen Yu was also clever, "Aunt Qin, that's fake death?" ”
Qin Yan nodded.
"I've been paying attention to Ling'er's situation in the dark all these years, and if Ling'er's life wasn't in danger, I wouldn't have acted rashly."
Shen Yu lowered his head a little embarrassed, no matter how he said that King Ling was injured, it was to save her.
"But I don't understand, since you're safe, why can't you recognize His Royal Highness King Ling?"
"After being in the cage for a long time, the fewer people who know some things, the better." Qin Yan shook his head with a smile while helping Shen Yu comb the broken hair that was blown by the evening breeze behind his ears.
"To tell you the truth, I fled from the Prince's Mansion yesterday and was chased and killed all the way, and the assassin used a piece of talisman paper, which was the same as that of my aunt Fang Cai on His Royal Highness King Ling."
When Qin Yan heard her say this, he became vigilant in his heart. "I don't know if I should say anything about this matter, I can only tell you that this is one of the witchcraft taught to me by the emperor, and I don't know how many people have mastered it and how much they have mastered."
"Witchcraft? How could such a thing exist in the royal family? ”
"Shen Yu, since you made a marriage contract with Xue Rui, these things will slowly find you by yourself in the future, and I can't reveal too much to you now." Qin Yan's words were earnest.
"Okay, I'll just ask one question in the end, where has Aunt Qin been hiding all these years?"
Qin Yan smiled without saying a word, stretched out his hand and flicked it on the tip of Shen Yu's nose.
A wisp of smoke powder was inhaled, and Shen Yu's whole body gradually became paralyzed, "Aunt Qin, I ......"
"Far away."
……
The mottled red lacquered wooden door, the rusted copper ring door buckle, the long corridor outside the high wall is full of fallen leaves, and one or two white-haired old women are bowed and swept the ground, but they can't keep up with the speed of the wind blowing the fallen leaves.
Outside the cold palace gate, there is a natural and harmonious scene in the palace. The doors and windows, although the furniture are old, are spotless, and there is no trace of spider webs in any corner.
Qin Yan, who was wearing a light shirt, was protecting a young child flying a kite, laughing and laughing, singing birds and flowers, so pleasant.
Suddenly, a gust of wind passed, and the swallow-shaped kite in the sky broke free from the rope and glided down to the tall plane tree by the palace wall.
The childish boy held the rope in his hand and pouted, Qin Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his eyes were slightly red, and he gritted his teeth and didn't cry.
"Ling'er, concubine, take it down for you."
Don't just think that Qin Yan is the young lady who doesn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, before leaving the cabinet, she really beat a few brothers and sisters to obey.
Qin Yan rolled up his sleeves, tied his hair high, and climbed up the tree after dividing five by two.
Xue Ling stood under the tree, looking at the mother's struggling appearance and a little worried, "Mother, come down, don't want Kite Ling'er, next time my father comes again, I will ask him for another one." ”
"It's okay, I'm almost there." Qin Yan still tried to climb up, but the kite was sandwiched on an overly thin branch, and Qin Yan couldn't catch it after three or five strokes, so he gritted his teeth and moved a small step forward.
Seeing that he was about to get it, the branches under his feet made a muffled sound and cracked, which frightened Qin Yan for a while, and Xue Ling under the tree shouted nervously, "Mother be careful!" ”
Qin Yan patted his chest, and calmly reached out to get the kite, "I got it!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the branches under their feet snapped and broke, and Qin Yan and Xue Ling exclaimed at the same time, "No! ”
Qin Yan still didn't forget to protect the kite in mid-air, and by the way, she closed her eyes and quickly reviewed her life, but the imaginary pain did not come.
"Father!"
Qin Yan fell into a warm embrace, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she was Xue Fengying, who looked doting and worried.
"Ah Yan, why are you so careless, it's just a kite, I'll get it for you if you like it."
Qin Yan looked at the kite that was crumpled into waste paper in his hand, and suddenly felt a grievance in his heart for no reason, and plunged into Xue Fengying's arms with sour eyes.
"Come, Ling'er, I sent someone to buy you a sugar gourd."
The servants cooked, ate, planted flowers, and watered together in the cold palace......
"Ah Yan, I love you the most in my life, and I am most sorry for you."
"Mother, Ling'er also likes you the most."
Who would have thought that the king of a country, the respect of the Ninety-Five, would not even be able to protect his most beloved woman, and even such an ordinary wish as Chao Chao and Twilight could not be realized.
Even if the emperor only came quietly once a month or two, Xue Ling was very satisfied, and the time with his mother was never dull. It is precisely because of the purity of the cold palace that his childhood is much less gloomy, and the only thing that makes Xue Ling regret for her mother is her biological daughter, Princess Wenxin, but she did not grow up by her side.
Qin Yan taught him to read and break sentences, teach others to be sophisticated, teach him to always have compassion, and teach him how to protect himself in the palace with heavy walls and locks.
This harmonious and beautiful thing ends on that day when the decree comes down like a thunderbolt from the sky.
On that day, just like any sunny May day, the peonies planted by the people in the courtyard were also blooming as well as they were now.
At that time, Princess Wenxin was lured into the Jinshu Pavilion, and when she came out again, she was already crazy, and Qin Yan was grief-stricken when she learned about it, and she couldn't afford to get sick.
Xue Ling remembered that his father had come less and less since then, and once it took half a year, but in the end, what he was waiting for was a document to kill Qin Yan.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, according to the official Zhao,
Chen and others said that Qin Guifei was jealous of the queen's favor and repeatedly harmed her, but she was the first offender and relegated to the cold palace, but Qin's poisonous woman intensified, intending to make witchcraft seduce and murder the emperor. ”
Qin Yan, who was lying on the mattress, was allowed not to kneel, and Xue Ling took the golden silk silk that weighed 10,000 catties for her.
The poisonous woman in the mouth of the eunuch, murdered, committed suicide, Xiao Xue Ling heard every word of the heart.
"The mother concubine is not that kind of person, they must have made a mistake, I will go to my father to intercede!"
Xue Ling saw that Qin Yan on the bed was expressionless and lifeless, and his heart became even more anxious.
"Ling'er, don't go!" Qin Yan climbed out of bed and tried to grab Xue Ling, but Xue Ling flicked his sleeves and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Qin Yan alone to sobble in the empty room.
That day, God seemed to have sensed Xue Ling's despair, and it rained heavily with him.
Outside Xue Fengying's palace, there was a weak figure kneeling, the rain was pouring down, Xue Ling knelt for half the night, and almost fainted several times, but he still gritted his teeth with strong perseverance and let the little eunuch who guarded the door pass the words again and again, and several eunuchs came to persuade him three times and twice, wanting to pull Xue Ling away, he struggled, and kicked his hands and feet to prevent anyone from touching him.
Xue Fengying finally didn't see him, and Xue Ling finally fainted from exhaustion.
When I woke up again, I was alone in the room, and there was no longer Qin Yan's busy figure next to the bed, with a pleasant voice.
Xue Ling dragged his sick body and ran out, there was a horse leather under the plane tree, which seemed to be wrapped in people, and the palace maid beside him whispered to him, "Little prince, don't go over, the concubine has drunk poisonous wine, and everyone stinks." ”
"Mother! No! Xue Ling pushed the little palace maid away and wanted to run over, but several subordinates joined forces to hug him, no matter how he roared, gritted his teeth, and struggled.
"You bad people, get out of the way, I don't want you! I just want my mother! ”
"Don't go, concubine, Ling'er is obedient, I don't want you, I don't want ......"
For countless nights later, Xue Ling woke up crying alone, but when he woke up from the dream, he was even more lonely, and now he is still alone.
Even though the emperor gave him the title of prince early in order to compensate him, Xue Ling made up his mind at that time that the two people he hated the most in his life were the ruthless emperor and the ruthless queen.
