Brother
Liang Qi paced back and forth and saw Ayu hiding his face and crying, and when he walked in front of him, he asked, "Didn't I say that no one is allowed to disturb Concubine Xiang, how do you explain today's events to me?" Ayu knelt on the ground and cried while telling the truth of the matter. Liang Qiting's eyebrows furrowed, He Guifei? Who is it? Rong Cheng whispered beside him, "Your Majesty, this He Guifei entered the palace in the same year as Xiang Guifei, and her father is He Hu." ”
Liang Qi then remembered He Guiren, who even remembered what he looked like, frowned and said, "Take her and those two sluts to the dungeon and interrogate them properly!" ”
"No." The voice that answered was not Rong Cheng? Liang Qi turned around curiously and saw that Yan Hong was already standing behind him at some point, but the anger on his body was much stronger than before.
"When did General Yan arrive? I don't even know."
Yan Hong saluted and said, "The minister has always been there." No wonder the imperial doctor came so quickly, it turned out that Yan Hong brought it. Yan Hong is the commander of the iron cavalry, a strong kung fu is the most famous for the invisible, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows about it, and according to legend, he killed people so fast that you have not seen his figure has been killed. And there is not a single scar on the whole body.....
The imperial physician finally walked out with his medicine box, and Ayu got up and wet the silk handkerchief and went in to wipe Chu Xiang's bloodstains. The imperial doctor sat on the chair and touched his beard and wrote one medicine list after another, and actually wrote a total of five large! Liang Qi's heart sank in an instant, in the past, Chu Xiang was sick, at most two were enough, but today there are five of them!
"Xiang Guifei was not lightly injured today, and the old man prescribed medicine to her, the first one was to treat the wind cold, and the wind cold entered the body and had a splitting headache, presumably because she had a cold recently; The second pair is to treat the fire of the heart, and the fire is inexhaustible; The third pair is to nourish the body and strengthen the spirit, and the fourth pair is ...... Fifth ....."
Three drinks a day as written on the list, and ....."
Liang Qi said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter! ”
The imperial doctor took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat on his head, and said: "In addition, Niangniang is already weak and can't be frightened, this time she is so sick, even if the old man prescribes medicine, whether she can wake up depends on Niangniang herself!" The words of the imperial doctor are very clear, if Chu Xiang himself does not want to wake up, even if he uses immortal medicine, it is useless!
Liang Qi looked at the people in the curtains, his heart was twisted, and he couldn't wake up again....
Rong Cheng took the list, glanced at it, and saw something, gritted his teeth, and asked Liang Qi, "Your Majesty, this flavor medicine needs a thousand-year-old snow lotus, this ......" Liang Qi frowned and ordered: "Hurry up and whip up the horse to go to the Jade Mountain, and let Mo Junhe send it to me before the mountain sets tomorrow, even if he digs the mountain!" ”
Yan Hong looked at Chu Xiang, who was still unconscious, held his hand on the knife tightly, and saluted Liang Qi: "Please send your ministers to find Snow Lotus!" The minister promised to send the snow lotus to the Mingluan Hall at noon tomorrow! Liang Qi was trustworthy to Yan Hong, so he nodded and agreed. Yan Hong took one last look at Chu Xiang and disappeared.
Ayu had already changed the dirty clothes on Chu Xiang's body, and the red wisps of gold yarn on the ground and the original shimmering pink pearls on the ground had been eroded by the filth at this moment, and they were no longer shiny. Liang Qi sat on the edge of the couch, gently stroking the bruise on his wrist in distress, Chu Xiang, who was unconscious, felt the pain and subconsciously shouted, "Let me go!" No! ”
"Xiang'er, Xiang'er, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you." Liang Qi bowed his head in distress and kissed Chu Xiang from his closed eyes with crystal tears slipping down, and at this time, the name of the king was all abandoned. Outside the hall, "Report, Chu Lingke asks to see." Liang Qi got up and "announced"
Liang Qigang stood up from the couch, and the strong wind flashed in front of him, and a fist directly hit the emperor's side face. The shadow guard came out of the darkness in an instant, and Liang Yan wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with his hand and waved them to retreat.
"Liang Qi! How did you ensure that you protected my sister in the first place! Now! Now that Ah Mei has been bullied, what are you! "The person in the world who dares to call Liang Qi by his name is the man in front of him, Chu Lingke. He and Liang Qi have been good brothers who wear a pair of pants since they were children, Chu Xiang was not in good health when he was young, and rarely went out, and never participated in banquets, so that Liang Qi only knew when he was 16 years old that Chu Lingke had such a precious sister.
Liang Qi came to find Chu Lingke to go out hunting that day, and when he passed by the Chu family's Xiangyuan, he inadvertently raised his eyes and saw a beauty. At that time, Chu Xiang was only 11 years old, and the little tender doll sat in the warm pavilion with a scroll in her hand, with curled eyelashes, a small nose, and pink lips.
Liang Qi didn't complain in his heart, it was true that he didn't protect Chu Xiang "If you can be angry for Xiang'er, you can fight it." I have no complaints! Chu Lingke's fist went down again, punch after punch, punch to the flesh. Stop it! Cole! A middle-aged man's voice sounded outside the hall, and then a man wearing a unicorn pattern court dress walked in.
"Father! Even now, you still want to help him connive at those crazy women to bully my sister? Chu Lingke withdrew his fist, but before he could vent his anger, he kicked over the rosewood armchair, and then thought that Ah Mei was still in a coma, so he picked up the chair and sat on it, picked up the jade carved teapot and drank it all.
After Liang Qi was helped up by Rong Cheng, he waved his arm and walked towards the middle-aged man, "Father, this time it was indeed my negligence." Liang Qi also called Zuo Xiang his father in private, like Chu Lingke. Chu Lingke put the teapot down and said coldly, "Father? What kind of face do you have to call your father! Chu Xiang's father is also Zuo Xiang Chu Xingyuan looked at his son's menacing appearance, afraid of causing something, so he said: "Ke'er, you calm down first, now Xiang'er is still sick, what kind of noise are you making here!" ”
Chu Lingke understood that his father meant to talk to Liang Qi alone, but seeing that Liang Qi had nowhere to vent his anger, he got up and walked outside the hall.
"What the emperor did today, can you know who did it?" Chu Xingyuan sat on the chair and spoke lightly. Liang Qi did not sit down together, but stood in front of him for a long time before saying, "Father can call me Ah Qi, no matter who I am, I will always be Xiang'er's husband." Today's events will definitely give justice to my father and Xiang'er. ”
Chu Xingyuan asked again: "Can the imperial doctor diagnose and treat Xiang'er's disease?" Is there a cure? Liang Qi relayed the words of the imperial doctor, but did not show that the matter of Snow Lotus was that Rong Cheng wanted to say that he was beaten back by Liang Qi's eyes.
After a long time, Chu Xingyuan got up and walked to the front of the collapse, lifted the curtain, looked at his daughter with pale face and high swollen cheeks, and sighed before saying, "Ah Qi is not to blame Ke'er for today's behavior, when he was young, Ke'er and you had the best relationship, Xiang'er was weak, Ke'er has treasured his sister since she was a child, and she was never willing to let her suffer a little harm, today those concubines have indeed done it, as Xiang'er's father, I just want the emperor to give Xiang'er an explanation."
Liang Qi raised his head high to hide a trace of tears from the corners of his eyes "What my father said is extremely true, I do have a great responsibility for today's matter, I have already ordered those three prisoners to be put in the dungeon for interrogation, and I will definitely be able to give Xiang'er justice tomorrow!"
"I know that Xiang'er's heart does not belong to me, and I was the only one who insisted on marrying Xiang'er into this deep palace, so today I ask my father to be a witness." After speaking, he knelt down in front of Chu Xingyuan, and Rong Cheng was so frightened that the dust in his hand slipped to the ground and stretched out his hand to help Liang Qi. "Your Majesty, never, never!"
Liang Qi looked at Chu Xingyuan with a firm gaze, ignoring Rong Cheng, "Heaven and earth are a mirror, if I, Liang Qi, let Chu Xiang be hurt in the future, let me suffer a lot, fall into hell, and never be at peace!" Chu Xingyuan leaned over and picked him up, "I also grew up watching the emperor, and the emperor's love for Xiang'er can be seen. It's Xiang'er...."
Liang Qi's gentle gaze turned to the layers of curtains, "I can wait." ”
——————-
In the depths of the dungeon of Daliang, He Guifei was dragged by the guards and thrown into an interrogation room, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she smelled a strong smell of blood that was disgusting. The clothes on her body had been torn in the process of dragging, and the muddy water on the ground rubbed her body, and now the embarrassed He Guifei did not have the arrogance just now. Yun Guiren and Ning Guiren were hung on the wall and fainted, their bodies and faces were covered with blood marks and scorched marks left by the soldering iron, and the ground was muddy and gave off an unpleasant smell.
He Guifei fell to the ground and kept retching, and the chain on the door was opened. When I raised my eyes, I saw a bright yellow figure standing in the doorway
"Your Majesty! The emperor saves me, your majesty! Those people are bullying me, they are the ones! They told me to do it! Regardless of the image, he crawled to Liang Qi's feet and viciously pointed at the two people who had fainted. Liang Qi kicked her into the wall with a kick, and landed right on the pool of smelling liquid "He Yan! I gave you a chance, who told you to do it! ”
He Yan got up from the ground with difficulty, her face was bloody, she looked up and cried, "I said! I say! Your Majesty, don't kill me, I'll say it! At this moment, a clear female voice sounded in the cell: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and this little thing still doesn't bother the emperor." Besides, this is a matter of the concubine's harem, and the concubine must give the Hunan nobles an explanation. After speaking, he asked the maidservant girl with him to walk to He Yan's side, and He Yan suddenly screamed, "The emperor save me!" It's ....."
Feng Wan blocked Liang Qi's gaze: "The emperor is not worried that this matter will be handled by the concubines?" ”
Liang Qi's eyes were slightly dark, and he saw her small movements in his eyes, "Then bother the queen to investigate this matter clearly." Shake your hands and walk out of the dungeon.
The air outside was much fresher, and the aroma of gardenia in the air made Liang Qi's mood a little calmer "Rongcheng"
"The minion is here" "The queen must have come to the dungeon at this time to kill people, you know how to do it."
"The slave knows, it's just the emperor, and the queen's grandmother is ...... It's a bit inappropriate to do it now. ”
Liang Qi frowned and raised his head, "Then find two people in the shadow guard who are good at tracking and closely monitor the queen's whereabouts."
"No"
As the sun sets in the evening, it casts a warm red on the surface of the lake. Ayu squatted outside the hall and cried silently, and suddenly felt that Niangniang's room was wrong, and ran over to see that it was Chu Lingke! "The ...... of the Prince" Chu Lingke stood in front of the couch and said softly, "It's okay, you go out first, I want to stay alone with Ah Mei." "No"
Chu Lingke sat on the edge of the couch and gently stroked Chu Xiang's swollen cheeks with his own hand, "Sister, Xiang'er? Do you remember my brother? No one answered, not even a hand. Chu Lingke looked at the girl in front of him who had surrounded him every day from childhood to adulthood and asked her brother to hug and coax her, but now she was asleep, and tears slipped down the corners of her eyes.
"Xiang'er still remembers that when you were young, you liked to eat lotus cake the most, but A-Niang didn't let you eat more, and you were only allowed to eat three pieces a day. At that time, you held my arm and shook it and said, 'Brother, brother, I still want to eat lotus cake', so I went to the dining room every day after dinner to steal pastries for you, and my brother was happy to see you eat, and my brother was also happy in my heart, and then my mother knew that I wanted to grow my body, and forced me to eat those things that tonified my body every day, and I was bleeding from my nose..."
Chu Lingke choked up and talked about his childhood, looking forward to Chu Xiang waking up.
"Every time you clamored to go out after the festival, you were weak and didn't know the time, Daddy and Auntie wouldn't allow you to go out, and at night you ran barefoot to my residence, sat on the couch and cried with me to go out to play. So I wrapped you like a pig and took you to the Lantern Festival, and the next day you started a high fever and shouted in your sleep, "Brother wants to eat candy man, and I was beaten by Daddy." ”
"Later, once Liang Qi came to me to hunt, he walked into Xiangyuan and saw you in the warm pavilion, and fell in love at first sight. Heh, they all say that the emperor is ruthless, I kind of know. If I hadn't helped that guy talk at the beginning, you wouldn't have married into that deep palace, and you wouldn't be where you are today! ”
Liang Qi, who was standing in front of the hall, clasped his hands tightly, but did not have the courage to take a step. The experience of the day of the marriage is still vivid, he knelt in front of the ancestral hall of the Chu family and swore in front of the ancestors of the Chu family that he would marry Chu Xiang as his wife, love her and protect her for the rest of her life. Chu Xiang stood behind Chu Xingyuan expressionlessly and said softly, "Daddy, I don't like him"
In just six words, Liang Qi's confidence was swept away, he looked at Chu Lingke as if asking for help, Chu Lingke stepped forward and held Chu Xiang's hand, "Sister, rest assured, Liang Qi and his brother have been together since they were young, and they are friends of life and death." He will definitely be able to shelter you from the wind and rain after the pilgrimage, but Ah Mei doesn't even believe in her brother? ”
On the day of the wedding, the Empress Dowager arranged for many women to enter the palace together, and Liang Qi and Chu Xiang stayed together until the ceremony was completed. When he was about to go to the bed to rest, Chu Xiang finally spoke, "Your Majesty, I don't want to" Liang Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, "I know, Xiang'er doesn't want to, I can wait." ”
After that, he didn't see Chu Xiangxiao again, as if the girl who was smiling in the warm pavilion that day was just a flash of his fantasy. He began to send all kinds of treasures to the Mingluan Palace, and she said, "I don't like the palace maids to be noisy," so the palace maids were replaced. 'I don't like the food cooked in the dining room' The imperial kitchen was replaced batch after batch. 'I want to see the epiphany' The epiphany, which was transported into the palace overnight, was thrown in the corner because he was tired and didn't want to see it. Liang Qi is willing, he just wants to, just wants her to have him in her heart, even if it's a corner.....
"Enough eavesdropping?" Chu Lingke's nasal voice sounded behind him.
Liang Qi turned to look at Chu Lingke, who also had red and swollen eyes, and smiled with difficulty, "If this can help Xiang'er wake up as soon as possible, Ake can come to Mingluan Hall every day." Chu Lingke flicked his sleeves and turned around, "If my sister can't wake up again....I won't spare you!" What if you are a saint today! ”
Liang Qi nodded and smiled, "Okay." "What's going on in the north? Is there any movement? ”
Chu Lingke bowed slightly, "No, it's just that your queen wrote a lot of letters to the north." ”。“ Can there be an interception to check it out"
"Well, most of them are talking about you" eye glance "that you haven't been to the morning hall for almost a year."
Liang Qi's face was embarrassed, "Ake, you know that I am happy with Xiang'er, how can I ......?" Chu Lingke waved his hand and left, "That's it, I'll come to see Ah Mei tomorrow." Queen's side, I hope you can pay more attention"
