At three o'clock, the insects chirp intermittently, and the jasmine is fragrant. The moonlight shone through the branches of the great elm tree.

Outside the hall, Yu'an's father-in-law stood with him for a while, saying all the good things about His Majesty, Cai Ling only felt a cold and hot body, and gradually couldn't hear Yu'an's words clearly.

Suddenly, a woman's coquettish smile came from the hall: "Your Majesty, you can know that the concubines always remember that they can always be by your side when they were in the Qin Palace." That period of time is the memory of the beauty of the concubine. ”

"There will be a long time to come." It was His Majesty's gentle words.

Cai Ling raised her eyes to look at Yu'an, the young father-in-law was silent, the sentence "Today's girl's birthday, Your Majesty is taking great pains" choked in her throat, and she couldn't say it again, "The Sprinkle family will go to the side hall to rest first, and then I will bother the girl to pass it on." ”

Cai Ling did not stop it, because she really gritted her teeth and prepared to stay outside the palace tonight, there will naturally be these sins in the future, it is better to take it into her arms lightly, so that it will not be good if all poisons do not invade.

Although the warblers in the hall kept talking, Cai Ling looked intently at the branches of the elm tree swaying in the wind in front of the door, and gradually forgot the stinging pain in his heart, but the injuries on his body could not be ignored. The wound is still bleeding, and if it is not treated in time, it may cause excessive blood loss and die, and even if he is willing to serve a pair of beautiful people inside to change clothes and wash, it is just a wandering soul.

It's still early now, unless there is a fire in any palace or the city is broken by the northern kingdom, Shen Muchi will not leave. She thought about it, the chance of an accident was very small, and it was difficult to protect herself from the civil strife in the north, and she didn't dare to offend the border pass, so she forced herself to slowly return to Tongpu.

The palace maids in the house had already slept, it was pitch black, Cai Ling had just stumbled to her bed, and heard Lihe shout angrily: "Bold slave maid, don't wait outside the palace, dare to run back to the residence to be lazy, wait for me to be a saint, I'm afraid you won't live until tomorrow!" ”

In the past, I was willing to reply to two sentences, but tonight I really don't have the strength. Cai Ling touched the golden medicine under the pillow and went out quietly.

There was also an elm tree behind the house, and she sat down, leaning her back against its thick trunk, and looked at the moon like half a white jade plate.

The eyelids are too heavy to lift. The bottle of golden medicine slipped from his hand and rolled no more than a few feet away, but he didn't have the strength to grab it. Maybe tomorrow when the sky is bright, her bones will be found by the palace maid who sprinkled and swept it, and I don't know if it will be thrown into a mass grave or transported to Shuzhong? He Yue sent a message that the bones on the mass grave were fragmented and the jackdaws were poignant, and he didn't want to set foot on it again, but her bones always had to be buried in the Jiang family's ancestral grave, and he would have to be asked to go again.

It turns out that loving someone comes at the cost of life. Where did I know in the past, but now it's too late to regret it. Sleep with your eyes closed, just think it's good to sleep.

Wait a minute! Why is this embrace so warm, because it is really cold, she hurriedly leaned into the hot bosom again, and a very faint aroma of ambergris came to the tip of her nose, it was a dream! She frowned slightly and pushed it away! That is, to die, and to abandon all the ties of the previous life.

"Little four." A heart-wrenching whisper, "Don't move." ”

She tried her best to hold on, looked at it with half-open eyes, and saw Shen Muchi squatting in front of her, her face was sweating, and the moonlight was stained with blood under the candlelight, like a camellia blooming.

"Who hurt you?" She frowned and asked in a low voice, where did she remember that it was herself who was drenched in blood on her arm!

"Don't speak. I'll take you home. He gently took her into his arms again, took her to his body and got up and left, and the kneeling slaves avoided her again and again, and he stared at her, and in a moment she was in a trance, and the emperor had walked to him, and kicked on her body, and she only felt the pain sweeping over her.

At first, she just talked about where she dared to disturb the imperial concubine's sleep, but as soon as she walked outside the main hall, she saw the angry emperor, pointed to the blood, and asked coldly: "Where are the people?" ”

She was still hesitating, the emperor had already flown in front of her, pinched her neck, and almost let her die, with a cold tone, cold eyes like ice pools: "I ask again, where is the person?" ”

"The slave doesn't know. The slave really doesn't know! She hurriedly kowtowed and begged. Fortunately, Wei Cairen advised: "Maybe it's time to go back to your residence." "The Venerable of Ten Thousand Vehicles personally came to the palace maids' Tongpu residence, and pushed open the door with a snap, causing the palace maids to scream in fright.

The faint candlelight of the "Little Four ......" had just been lit, and the depressed voice was rising.

"Your Majesty, there are traces of blood." Yu'an's father-in-law pointed to the ground. Following the bloodstains, His Majesty is already a meteor.

……

"Home? Hum...... Where is home? "Thinking that you are in a dream, you can naturally talk nonsense.

"I'm there, my home is there." He actually replied.

"Shen Muchi ......" She endured the pain and raised her hand to rub his eyebrows, and by the way, she also brought her lips up, he was slightly stunned, and in an instant it was already sad and joyful, and the sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks, kissing her lips lightly.

When I woke up the next day, it was dusk, and the dragonflies circled in the sky, but the sound of insects was not heard. Looking around, the water-colored curtains, water-colored sheets and bedding, and even the pillows are all water-colored, where is this heavenly palace or underworld, and the most boring thing in the world is Shen Muchi's bedroom.

"Awake?" The calm tone did not tell the joy and anger, but there was a slow smile on his face. The last time I saw Shen Muchixiao was in the Luoshui Forest a few months ago, he said: Seeing that you are worried about this king, this king is very happy.

Still in a trance, he forgot to answer, but Shen Muchi was not surprised, a big hand was already on her forehead, and she was about to glance away, but he was starry, with a little displeasure, so he had to give up.

"The fever is gone." A relieved tone, "Come on, pass on the ...... of the imperial doctor"

"No need to pass on the imperial doctor......" Cai Ling looked at her properly bandaged arms and wrists, it turned out that all the old and new injuries had been healed, it was so good! Look at the person sitting at the head of the bed, wearing ink-colored clothes, looking haggard, maybe he is the one who sent the imperial doctor to come to see.

"Your Majesty has been sitting here for a day and a night?" She asked, a hint of smugness in her heart.

"Hmm." He replied indifferently, and in an instant, the words had changed, "In the future, if you dare to seek death or self-harm, I will let all the people you care about be buried with you." ”

Die? Self-harm? It was a misunderstanding, if he knew that he was just trying his best to save himself, would he still be so worried? Didn't he see the vial of golden elixir rolling at her feet? Didn't see her own rough bandaging technique?

Joke! I haven't seen enough of everything in this world, and I have only walked 500 miles of mountains and rivers, how can I be willing to seek death? It's just that I have learned since then that love and love are not the whole of life. Now that he is the Ninety-Five Supreme, what he wants is at his fingertips, and the person who wants to kill him is not a hundred steps closer, so why should she be ashamed to stay by his side to protect him. In the future, you should travel thousands of miles and place your affection on the mountains and rivers.

If she wants the person she cares about to be buried with her, the first person to die should be the person in front of her. But in the end, I didn't dare to rebel, just thinking about it in my head, I felt that it was the following crime.

"The slave knows." After respectfully replying, he leaned inward, just pressing the wound, and resisted the pain and refused to turn around.

"You are not allowed to call yourself a slave." He reached out and grabbed her waist and flipped her over, keeping her on her back.

"If you are assigned to the court, you will not be allowed to leave the palace for life, what is it if you are not a slave?"

"I'm a momentary whim, and you're still blaming me?" The tone was extremely soft.

"Don't dare." As soon as the words fell, Yude came to announce that the imperial doctor was already waiting outside the hall.

After a while, the old lady doctor replied: "The girl's pulse is stable, there is no major problem, and it can be well after a few days." ”

It seems that the ladies in the palace are not as convenient as the people to see a doctor, especially now that she is infected with a woman's disease, the menstrual period is indefinite, and the decay water is even more dripping and unclean, even she is ashamed to explain the condition to the little master of the Tai Medical Bureau, not to mention those arrogant girls.

"Do you really not think about the medical woman?" After the imperial doctor left, Cai Ling couldn't help but ask the person sitting next to the pillow, and said a word, knowing that he was in too much control and a little uncomfortable.

"I'll recruit tomorrow." He leaned over and kissed her forehead, and the pear on his face was pale, "I'll give you whatever you want." ”

"It's time for the slave to go back." She sat up stiff and was about to get out of bed. He took the cloak himself and put it on for her, "Where to go back?" From now on, where I am, you will be. Now we have dinner with me, and we are not allowed to be disobedient. ”

Looking at the table full of delicacies, she couldn't eat half of it, squirrel fish, roast goose, roast duck, cold fungus are all dishes she has always loved, but when she thought of being trapped in the Weiyang Palace from now on, jumping from one fire pit to another, jumping to this volcano that will erupt at any time when she was bruised, she couldn't tell whether she was dead or alive in the future, and where was there still half an appetite.

"Why don't you eat it?" Shen Muchi stared at her and asked, his expression worried, and he knew it in an instant, "I can't hold chopsticks because my hands hurt, right?" I feed you. Before he could finish speaking, a spoonful of fish was brought to his mouth.

She ate the meat and suddenly said, "Actually, the slave didn't have to be the princess of Yunnan at the beginning. It's just that I strayed into Weiyang Palace and couldn't find a way to get out. The remaining sentence "If Your Majesty understands, it's good to let me out of the palace" was too late to say.

His hand holding the spoon trembled slightly: "I found out the truth early in the morning. I'm annoyed that in your heart, I can't compare to a good family. You are devoted to taking care of your nephew wholeheartedly, and you wish to find a solid backer for him, but how could you ever have thought that the world is mine, and I will let him suffer half a point of grievance. What you are looking for should be me from beginning to end, only me! ”

What he said was extremely reasonable, the country is his, if he clings to him, are you afraid that Yuan'er will be half wronged? But she was thoughtful, looking left and right, and what she never thought of was to use him.

"What are your plans for the future?" She asked boldly.

"Make you the queen." He said frankly, "On the third day of September last year, since you entered the gate of the Qin Palace, you are my clumsiness. ”

"The slave maid is now a little palace maid, if she can really be the queen, I am afraid that she will be laughed at by the world." Cai Ling ate a bite of food he fed, and the smile on her lips did not decrease.

"I have my own way." Junlang's face was full of confidence.

"Your Majesty has ever thought about the Empress Dowager, who is the candidate in her old man's heart, Your Majesty knows it, she has both the grace of nurturing and the grace of knowing Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty be disobedient?" Cai Ling said, "Besides, you can see for yourself, do I have half the appearance of being a queen?" It's just a businessman, mercenary, and calculating only gold and silver, where can he manage the harem and the world? ”

"You!" In terms of the ability of angry people, it is unparalleled in the world.

"Why don't you let the slaves out of the palace?" Cai Ling held hands and begged, deliberately widening her two eyes and forcing out tears, so that she could reveal her sincere desire.

"Delusional!" Shen Muchi put aside the porcelain spoon and glanced at his face.

The strips of cotton cloth on her arms were tied very tightly, and she had to poke him in the back stiffly like a stick: "If you don't want to, forget it, don't be angry." You've also lost weight recently, haven't you eaten well? It was the tone of a baby.

"Five years of service in the arched temple! After five years, if you want to leave or stay, I will be up to you. Turning his face again, he was already trying to hide his anger. He is confident that if he gives him some more time, he will definitely make her fall in love with him again, even if a woman's heart is like the sea, he is not afraid.

Although five years is long, after all, there is a return date. With a smile in her eyes, she poked him in the back again with a stiff arm: "Thank you, Your Majesty." You can rest assured that the slave will not be untiful in serving you. I wonder if I can reduce my sentence then? ”

He looked at him fiercely, and she quickly lowered her head, and a moment later, the porcelain spoon was filled with corn, which had been brought to her lips. Who serves whom, who can tell!

After dinner, the palace ladies came to clean up. Cai Ling walked to the door, looked around, saw the unfamiliar scenery furnishings, Fang noticed that he had never set foot in the vertical arch apse, although it is still the golden red door, carved beams and painted buildings, the doors and windows are inlaid with rhombus patterns, the pillar is embossed with auspicious clouds and flying dragon patterns, the pole looks, but the courtyard is full of purple and red, a clear stream from the stone is murmuring, and the other end of the white jade bridge is full of purple and red in the starry candlelight.

"Want to go out and have a look?" He walked to his side and stood with his hands in his hands.

"Forget it." She leaned on the door of the temple, watching the wind move and the flowers fall, and couldn't help but sneeze.

"Is it cold? Are you feeling unwell? He hurriedly asked.

"It's not cold." Cai Ling said with a smile, "It's just that I can't smell the fragrance of flowers recently, and I have a lot of snot and tears, which is really indecent, so I don't dare to go out." ”

"Hmm." Shen Muchi grabbed her shoulder, let her head rest on his shoulder, and looked at the bright starlight of the river in the sky.

"Don't you sleep?" Cai Ling asked.

"If you don't sleep, how can I sleep?"

"The slave went to sleep first." Cai Ling said, raised his legs and stepped out of the hall.

"Stop!" He wanted to grab her arm, but knowing that she was injured, he quickly stopped his hand and only whispered.

"Forehead ......"

"Where?" Shen Muchi asked in a deep voice.

"You must have a house for a palace maid here. If you want to go back to live in the court, it will be too far. Cai Ling wondered.

"The palace ladies are indeed returning to live in the court." The Emperor also stepped out of the main hall and stood beside her.

She felt refreshed in her heart, wouldn't it be nice to finally be able to see Manyun and talk to Aunt Wu about what happened recently! Then the slave and maid went back to the court first. Tomorrow I will report to my aunt in the same temple. ”

"But you can't go back." Shen Muchi gently took her hand.

"Although the slave and maid slept all night and day, it seemed that they had slept for a long time, but in fact they did not make up for much sleep. Now I'm also very sleepy, and I can't afford to consume it. Asking Your Majesty for mercy......" Although it is a plea, there is already impatience on his face.

"Then go in and lie down." Shen Muchi pulled her into the hall.

She stopped and gently pulled his hand away: "Your Majesty, men and women can't be receiving, and besides, the slave and maid don't have the intention of hooking up with the saint, why do you send it to the door yourself." Your Majesty, please respect yourself. ”

These words, at best, can be regarded as the following offenses, and at worst, they are rebellious, and she only dares to say them when no one is around. I wanted to see where his bottom line was, but I didn't think that he laughed to himself, "Sleep on the bed or on the ground, you choose." ”

She finally chose the bed, the dragon bed of the arched apse, and she was not qualified to sleep for a while, she was not stupid, although as far as the eye could see, it was all water-colored fabric, but it was the best ice silk in the world, even in the hot summer, lying on it was like being in the forest of spring, gentle breeze, cold and silky.

"Your Majesty, the bed is so big, it's better for you to sleep a little." She resisted the urge to kick him.

"Little four. I can't sleep. Would you like to tell me a story? ”

……

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. The slave and maid should sleep on the ground. She was about to sit up when a long leg reached over and blocked her, "You dare! ”
