The wedding bed in the inner hall of Cuiwei Palace is covered with jujubes and peanuts, implying the early birth of a noble son. Cai Ling picked one up and put it in her mouth.

There was a pot of wine on the pear blossom wood table by the window, which was exactly what she wanted, and she was about to pour herself a glass, but she didn't see the wine glass, only two scoops made of bitter gourds, and the handles of the two scoops were connected by red threads.

Whatever he wants, just drink it in a pot. She thought to herself, and she did it immediately.

When Yu An knelt at the door of the hall, she just threw the phoenix crown and Xia curtain aside, drank a pot of wine heartily, and suddenly felt half of the suffocation in her heart, and she could see Yu An's bitter gourd face, and she was really happy.

"What do you do on your knees? Is Your Majesty coming? She put down the flask, sat on the edge of the bed, and peeled another peanut and put it in her mouth.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, Your Majesty is still accompanying the Empress Dowager in Ziwei Palace, and she will come over later." After Yu An answered, he couldn't suppress his crying.

Cai Ling got up and dragged his arm in, "I've been busy all day, and it's hard to relax for a while, if you dare to attract people, you see that I won't clean you up today!" ”

Yu'an covered her mouth and knelt at her feet: "The slave is guilty, the slave was a last resort ......"

"As a last resort, I can't help myself...... Hmph, there are a few people in the deep palace who are unscrupulously doing themselves. Cai Ling murmured, "Get up." Crying and crying is unlucky, be careful that Your Majesty will punish you again. ”

Yu'an looked nervously at the door of the hall, then stood up and held back her tears.

"Yu'an. Your Majesty, has he not been as healthy as he used to be? ”

At first, the liquor that she drank all played a role, dizzy, and her brain was a little inflexible, but she could still clearly remember that when the book of the Ministry of Rites was read out at the canonization ceremony, Shen Muchi, who had a serious face, was hiccuping, she couldn't help laughing, raised her eyes to stare at him, and he tried his best to stare back at her.

After a while, the reading of the book ended, and the emperor's hiccup was not finished, and she said to Manyun beside her: "Pour a glass of water, let Your Majesty take a big sip and swallow it many times." ”

Later, in the Fengxian Hall to worship the ancestors, the two of them held incense and stood and bowed one after the other, and she clearly saw that the emperor's hands were shaking. After the sacrifice, the two of them should go to Ziwei Palace, but Cai Ling stood in place in a daze. The Emperor reached over and was about to take her hand, but her palms turned, and two fingers were already on his pulse.

It's a little fast, but it's powerful, and the complexion is ruddy and shiny, so it's healthy.

But in Cuiwei Palace, when she raised her head after performing the six su, three kneeling and three bows, she saw that his nose was red again through a layer of bead curtains on her forehead, and when she looked at it again, her eyes were also red. Her hand was about to move, and when she was about to find a chance to catch his pulse again, the emperor said that she would go to Ziwei Palace to greet the Empress Dowager.

"Yu'an. What do I ask you? The hand of the picker and the peanut paused.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is Jin'an, and there is nothing abnormal." Yu'an replied.

"If there is no abnormality, how can there be these symptoms?" Cai Ling muttered, still dizzy, and she simply collapsed on the bed.

". The pot of dove wine three years ago was sent by others who forced the slaves, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty. They brought the slave a piece of the younger brother's finger and threatened that if the slave did not do so, none of the relatives outside the palace would survive. The slave was timid and afraid, which caused a catastrophe, and the slave blamed himself every day for three years, wishing that he was the one who drank the poisonous wine in the first place. Yu An said with tears on his face as he spoke.

". What do you mean? ”

"Niangniang......" Yu'an plucked up the courage to step forward and push her arm, "Niangniang, are you asleep?" ”

"Let's go." The sudden words scared Yu'an into trembling.

"It's right for Niangniang to refuse to forgive the slave, just ask Niangniang not to blame Your Majesty." Yu An snorted, "Since Niangniang has already understood everything, then the slave will retreat for the time being." ”

After Yu'an left, the woman on the brocade couch turned over: "If you don't come back, forget it." But Master, has anyone invited Your Majesty's peace vein on time in the past two months? ”

It was a few dream words.

When he was half asleep, he was suddenly woken up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the emperor was still sitting on the edge of the bed in bright yellow court clothes.

"But you can't sleep?" She rubbed her eyes.

"Put this back on." The emperor smiled and handed her the phoenix crown again.

She didn't know what she meant, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she put the phoenix crown on her head again, and a curtain made of strings of eastern beads fell from her forehead and hit her face, with a cold touch, looking from the curtain, Shen Muchi's face was also blurred, but it was very good, like a nightmare in the past three years.

"It's late at night, can't you sleep?" She asked patiently.

"Yude went to fetch wine." The emperor pointed to the wine jug that had fallen on the pear blossom wood case, "You have drunk all the wine." ”

"Together?" She was sleepy, a ritual that only queens deserved.

"On the third day of the ninth month of the seventeenth year of Yonghe, I will make up all the debts I owe you tonight." His words are sonorous and resolute.

Subsequently, the ritual of worshipping heaven and earth and drinking wine was carefully followed by the folk practice, he gently opened the bead curtain in front of her forehead, and his fingers intentionally or unintentionally caressed the manzhu shahua: "From now on, I will spend the rest of my life with Qing, and I will never leave the white head." ”

At this moment, being gazed at affectionately by the man she once loved, it was a very serious moment, for some reason, she suddenly couldn't hold back her laughter, pointed to a plain white silk handkerchief on the bed and asked, "How should the Queen Mother explain tomorrow?" ”

As if he had been prepared, he took the dagger from the cupboard, sat back on the edge of the bed, and stretched out his right hand, which was about to cut his palm.

She stretched out her hand very quickly, grabbed the blade of the dagger, and the blood immediately leached out of her palm, dripping on the Jinpa, and a bright kapok flower appeared.

"You!" The emperor threw the dagger and tore the corner of the dragon robe to bandage her to stop the bleeding.

"Wait a minute." She pressed the wound with her dragon robe, and took out a small porcelain bottle from her waist, "Rub some of this first." ”

"You!" The emperor is extremely angry, and today, she has become so calm?

The corners of her lips hooked slightly, as if she was smiling, she tightly wrapped the wound with that bright yellow, and said slowly: "Although this knife can't return the sword that your Liangfu Courtyard blocked for me, it should be able to offset the knife outside the Fengxian Palace." From now on, Jun En does not dare not be grateful, but Jun Qing does not dare to ask for extravagance. The white head is not separated, that is based on the premise of being willing to win one-hearted people. ”

His hot eyes gradually covered with a layer of mist, cooling into a cold pool, but he didn't get angry, and stretched out his long arm to take her into his arms: "I haven't been looking for you for the past few years, it's not right." ”

She leaned into that warm bosom and smelled the once familiar scent of ambergris, and for some reason, the tears couldn't stop flowing down, and they actually wet the hem of his clothes.

It's funny, even if it's someone who wants to kill himself, he can't always resist his warmth.

Half a month later, I saw Yu Moyan in Ziwei Palace.

At that time, she sat on the right hand of Yang Guifei and listened to her narrate the affairs of the palace to the Empress Dowager, and she was bored.

"Sister Liang has just come out of confinement, although the wound has recovered well, her movement is slower than before, and the little princess will take care of her, saying that she can come over to ask for peace later." Speaking of Liang Mingyue, the concubine had a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

"Hmm. The inner court, with the assistance of the two of you, is in good order. The Empress Dowager smiled, "In the future, you can make your own decisions about small matters, and you don't have to report everything to the mourning family." ”

"Yes. Grand empress dowager. Yang Guifei's eyes flashed with brilliance.

At this time, the eunuch came to report: "Lord Yu is here to ask for peace." ”

"Come in." The Empress Dowager smiled a little deeper, stood up holding the armrest, and poked her head out to take a look.

Yang Guifei also got up immediately, and Cai Ling only sat still.

When the eunuch led Yu Moyan into the hall, the Queen Mother and Yang Guifei had already sat back in their places.

"Weichen sees the Empress Dowager, the concubine is ......" Yu Moyan bowed his hand, and said after a moment: "Concubine Shu......"

Yu Moyan hadn't bent down in the direction where Cai Ling was sitting, and as soon as he spoke, Cai Ling got up from his seat, held him steadily, and shook his head.

Yang Guifei exclaimed: "Sister! ”

The Empress Dowager coughed lightly.

Cai Ling knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager on her knees, and her tone was gentle: "Lord Yu is a courtier to the court, but Lord Yu is a respected elder to a concubine. ”

"A teacher for one day, a father for life." The Empress Dowager muttered, and then looked at Yang Guifei, "Tell me, when Guining visits his parents, do they want to salute you?" ”

"Yes." Yang Guifei replied, "My parents knelt at the gate of the house to greet them, and when they went to my grandmother's main room, they wanted to perform family rituals, but my grandmother knelt down and did not fall." ”

"Lady." The Queen Mother was kind and tempting, "You are now the emperor's person, your every move represents the royal demeanor, your master salutes you, this is the monarch as a minister, it is a very ordinary courtesy." ”

Cai Ling hung her head, she was also a female official in the inner court in the past, and she couldn't even figure out this truth.

"Weichen see Concubine Niangniang." Yu Moyan gave up.

The Empress Dowager then smiled and said, "Since the mourning family recovered from illness, I have not been able to see you as often as before. The last time I came to check the pulse was half a month ago, the night when the emperor ordained Concubine Shu. Later, those imperial doctors, although they were all old people in the former palace, the mourning family didn't see you happy after seeing it. It's better that you don't tinker with those drugs in the future, and come to see the mourning family every day. ”

"The Empress Dowager's illness is only temporarily alleviated, and if you want to cure it radically, you still need to develop a prescription, and now it is still in the trial stage, so you can't be careless." Yu Moyan sat on the brocade stool on the side of the Empress Dowager, diagnosing the pulse with a red thread.

Cai Ling sat back in her place, thinking: It turned out that the master was in the palace on the day of the canonization, and he knew that she was leaving, but he avoided it, which was really ruthless.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look sad, and the Empress Dowager suddenly asked, "Concubine Shu, why are you frowning?" Since your master is also here, why don't you tell the mourning family how you have worked hard to achieve such extraordinary medical skills in the past? You saved the life of the little princess. ”

"Master, he always forces his concubines to memorize classics such as "Shennong's Materia Medica", "Qianjin Prescription" and so on, and he won't eat if he doesn't memorize it." Cai Ling said with a smile, "Don't be deceived by Master's immortal-like and elegant temperament, Master is very fierce in private." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, the Empress Dowager laughed first, Yu Moyan glanced over expressionlessly, and Cai Ling hurriedly said: "That's it." Master, he blamed the concubine with his eyes again, what he meant now was that the concubine should not make the ancestor laugh when he was taking the pulse. However, the concubine did do something wrong. That's not going to talk. She quickly closed her mouth.

The Empress Dowager still laughed loudly.

Not long after, Yu Moyan resigned, but the Empress Dowager couldn't keep her, so she repeatedly told him to come to Ziwei Palace to walk around. As soon as Yu Moyan walked on his front foot, Cai Ling lied that he was dizzy, and hurriedly took three steps and two steps to chase.

"Mother, wait for the slave." Manyun shouted behind her, and she didn't seem to hear it.

"Lady Niangniang." At the palace gate, Concubine Liangxian, dressed in gorgeous costumes, happened to enter the door with several maids, and the palace maids curtsied. Concubine Liangxian was stunned for a moment, and then saluted: "Sister Shufei." ”

The nurse was holding the little princess in her arms and suddenly cried, Concubine Liangxian hurriedly went to tease the child, Cai Ling smiled slightly, and passed by them. The maid leaned into Concubine Xian's ear and asked, "Why is Concubine Lady so flustered?" ”

Concubine Liangxian's eyebrows were raised lightly, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked: "Go and invite the emperor quickly, just say that Cangling accidentally fell into the water." ”

"But the princess, she ......," the maid frowned.

"In early summer and warm weather, two-and-a-half-year-old dolls can soak in the water." Concubine Liangxian stroked the scar on her belly through her thin shirt and gritted her teeth, "Don't do it yet!" ”

Several maids hurriedly left in two ways, and Concubine Liangxian personally held the little princess in her arms and walked towards the main hall of Ziwei Palace.

In the imperial garden, under a pomegranate tree with red flowers, Cai Ling finally caught up with Yu Moyan out of breath.

"You go back first." Yu Moyan stood with his hands in his hands and instructed the Korean doctor who was carrying the medicine box.

After Doctor Han was leaving, Cai Ling walked up to him with a smile, a head of height, she looked up slightly and looked into his eyes: "Master, I haven't seen you for three months, is everything okay?" ”

"It's all good." He replied in a deep voice, with a blank face. The smile on her face froze until he said again, "Thank you Concubine Jiang for your concern." ”

"Is Master trying to draw a line with me?" Without an answer for a moment, she quickly explained: "Your Majesty is not a suspicious person, and in the past, I and the King of Dian and Tao Tao would never avoid taboos......"

The hand behind him clenched into a fist, but his tone was still soft: "In your heart, am I the same as them?" ”

Her watery eyes widened and she stared at him until he nodded slightly.

At this moment, a withered pomegranate flower fell on her hair bun with the wind, and he raised his hand to gently flick it for her, and she turned her head for some reason, and a face just touched his hand holding the blood-colored pomegranate flower, and the flower slipped from between her fingers and landed next to her lotus-colored embroidered shoes.

The two looked down at the flowers, silent for a moment.

Until not far away, there was a reminder from the palace maid: "Your Majesty, the princess fell into the water behind the rockery, and she was just taken back to Ziwei Palace to suppress the shock." ”

Looking up, the emperor was standing a few feet away, his eyes as deep as a cold pool, staring at them coldly.

A warm wind blew, blowing down the pomegranate flowers, she looked at Yu Moyan again, and when she looked towards the emperor, she was already smiling like a flower: "Your Majesty, why are you free." My master is about to go back to the Imperial Medical Bureau, why don't you take a safe pulse by the way? ”

The emperor's face remained unchanged, and he turned around and left. She didn't chase after her, but said to Yu Mo: "It's okay." I will explain to Your Majesty that you will not be implicated. ”

He smiled coldly: "Xiao Ling." You know I don't care. ”

She also showed a wry smile, how could she not care about life and death? If you don't even care about your head, what should you care about living in the world?

In the past, it was the master who took good care of her, and in the future, she will at least try to keep him safe.
