This is the fourth snow under the Xianyang since the beginning of winter, although it is not as terrifying as the first snow buried three feet, but after this half day of snowfall, the ground has fallen a few inches, and the wheels run over and make a creaking sound.

The palace was still as cold and quiet as ever, and all the way through, there was the faint sound of falling snow in your ears.

Chen Xu's drunkenness had not yet dissipated, and he was dizzy and entered the inner courtyard of the palace under the leadership of the palace people.

He had walked this road many times, so along the way, he saw that his palace maids and chamberlains were all standing cautiously on the side of the road and saluting, and then he kept watching this young marquis walk away with a smile and a greeting from front of him with a body of wine, many palace maids couldn't help but beat their hearts, feeling that the smile of the little marquis just now could kill their little hearts in seconds, and their bodies were a little hot and soft.

After walking for a long time, Chen Xu found that he had walked a little far today, and it seemed that he was not going to Qin Shihuang's bedroom, nor was he going to Concubine Zheng's bedroom, because the road was already a little desolate, and the faint crying sound could be faintly heard in the wind and snow.

Chen Xu suddenly made a swing, grabbed the palace man's arm, and asked with a serious face, "Where is this?" Do you know why Your Majesty summoned me? ”

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, this is the bedroom of the princesses and princesses, Princess Qingning is seriously ill, and His Majesty specially summoned Lord Hou to visit the palace!" The palace man hurriedly replied in a low voice.

Princess Qingning?

The figure of a girl holding a sharp sword against her neck suddenly appeared in front of Chen Xu's eyes, her face was a little blurred, but the two slender long legs were clearly remembered.

Wang Qingsleeve, how could he be sick, and there are still people crying, do they have to die?

Chen Xu was a little distracted, reached out and touched the scar on his neck, and then involuntarily sped up his pace.

Although the two do not have much intersection, but this woman is Wang Qian's granddaughter, with a hot and spicy personality, and even almost stabbed himself to death with a sword when they met for the first time, but there is no deep hatred, since last winter, the two have never met, after coming to Xianyang, I only heard that she was given the surname of Qin Shi Huang as a princess, and she did not meet several times when she came to the palace, and Wang Jian also told him to help visit when he had the opportunity to enter the palace, but he almost forgot everything about this matter, and he was quite ashamed in his heart.

After walking along a palace wall covered with barren grass for a few minutes, I turned a corner and saw a palace that was not luxurious, there were several Xuanwu guards dressed in black standing on the steps outside the hall, standing in the wind and snow with big swords in their hands like statues, several chamberlains and palace maids stood at the gate of the palace, among which two little palace maids were still wiping their tears and sobbing softly, it was the pair of Loli twins who followed Wang Qingsleeve to Xiaohe Village.

"Report~, Qinghe Hou has arrived!" As a chamberlain shouted into the palace, the twin little Lori hurriedly wiped away her tears and saluted Chen Xu, "Qinghe Hou, please come in with us!" ”

Chen Xu nodded, took a few deep breaths, so that the cold air could dilute his wine a little, and then followed into the palace.

Xu Fu and several imperial physicians were whispering to Qin Shi Huang, and when they saw Chen Xu coming in, all the imperial physicians turned around and saluted Chen Xu.

"Your Majesty!"

"Qinghe Hou is exempt~" Qin Shi Huang waved his hand, and said with a somewhat apologetic face, "It's cold and freezing, please Qinghe Hou into the palace, don't blame me, Qingning has been in a coma for several days, Xu Fu and more than ten imperial doctors have been diagnosed and treated, I'm afraid it's fate, Qingning sometimes calls your name in a trance, I know that you and Qingning have been in contact for a while, maybe she has something to say to you, so I have to summon Qinghe Hou into the palace!" ”

Chen Xu's heart trembled and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the minister will go in to visit Princess Qingning!" ”

"Come on, take Qinghe Hou to Qingning Dormitory, don't harass!" Qin Shi Huang commanded.

"Yes, Qinghe Hou, please!" It was still the twin little Lori who led Chen Xu into the inner hall, and then pushed open a closed door.

In addition to the dresser and bronze mirror, the table and chair furniture are scarce, there is a sword hanging on the wall by the window, there is a burning carbon stove in the middle of the house, a clay pot is placed on it to boil water, there is a warm kang against the wall, hanging a pale green silk mosquito net, the room is quite warm, and there is a strong smell of Chinese medicine floating in the air.

There was a woman lying on the kang, covered with a quilt and not moving.

After Chen Xu walked into the bedroom, the two little loli turned around and closed the door, then stood in the room and began to sobble again.

A few meters away, looking at the woman lying on the bed, Chen Xu hesitated for a long time and then slowly walked to the side of the bed and lifted the cyan mosquito net.

It's still the same pretty cheeks, but there is no blood, the face is thin, the lips are chapped, the hair looks a little messy, covered with a warm quilt, and the quiet and haggard look is completely different from what I saw last year.

"You were so cruel at the beginning, you almost stabbed me to death when we met, but I didn't expect ...... You also have today! ”

Chen Xu muttered softly in his mouth, stretched out his hand and gently probed under Wang Qingsleeve's nose, and found that the breath was really very weak, and it seemed to be intermittent, just like the situation when he was in a coma after being injured by Yu Wuya's palm, according to Xu Fu's statement at that time, he could prepare for the future.

Because Wang Qingsleeve is a princess after all, Chen Xu didn't dare to be too casual, and after staring at Wang Qingsleeve who was motionless for a minute or two, his eyes swept over the warm kang, and suddenly his eyes were certain.

Seeing a piece of wooden stick exposed on the edge of the quilt, and it was slightly familiar, Chen Xu couldn't help but lift the quilt a little slightly, revealing one of Wang Qingsleeve's hands, and holding a small pistol made of wood in his hand.

Belch! Chen Xu looked at this small pistol and was stunned for a long time.

Isn't this what Lao Tzu did in Xiaohe Village, how could it run to her hands?

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Xu felt that his memory was not too obvious, because there were too many messy gadgets on the windowsill table in his hometown, and he didn't care about one more or less, it is estimated that Wang Qingsleeve took it away by the way when he left Xiaohe Village, but what does it mean to play with a pistol in the quilt?

And if you want to die, you are reluctant to let go!

Chen Xu couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pull it, and found that Wang Qingsleeve was still clenched very tightly, and instead of tearing it off, he pulled out half of his snow-white arm, so he quickly reached out and grabbed Wang Qingsleeve's hand and prepared to stuff it back into the quilt.

"Don't drive me away~" Wang Qingsleeve, who was in a coma, made a low voice like a dream.

"You're awake!" Chen Xu hurriedly covered Wang Qingsleeve's arm and asked, but Wang Qingsleeve didn't make any sound.

Chen Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, looked at Wang Qingsleeve in a coma a few times again, looked at the haggard pale cheeks and sunken eye circles and chapped lips, and suddenly felt as if he had been stabbed by a spike, and then slowly closed the mosquito net and retreated to the center of the room, summoned the two little Loli over, and carefully inquired about Wang Qingsleeve's illness, and after asking clearly, his mood became a little more melancholy and uneasy.

Wang Qingsleeve's illness is still because of the conflict in Xiaohe Village, Yu Wuya wanted to save Chen Xu, so he used all his strength, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who had never practiced profound martial arts, in the face of Yu Wuya, an orthodox Taoist master, was shocked by Yu Wuya with a palm, and it was considered peerless good luck that he was not killed on the spot, although he was hung by Chen Xu with ginseng, and then slowly recovered under Xu Fu's treatment, but then Chen Xu was so angry that he vomited blood, and then heard that Wang Jian was critically ill, A series of blows under the illness has not been cured and hurried back to Xianyang, anxious and thousands of miles to travel, back to Xianyang on a serious illness, after a few months of recuperation was canonized as the princess of Qingning, moved into the palace to live, but the mood has become worse and worse, the body is not as good as day by day, a few days ago the mood suddenly good, then to the yard to ride a horse to relax, but just ran less than a lap from the horse fell off the horse and passed out, the doctor after seeing that she has reached the time of running out of oil and lamp.

"Master Hou, people outside say that you are a disciple of the immortal family, and please use your immortal skills to save Sanniang!" The two little Loli cried like two tearful people, kneeling on the ground together and kowtowing to Chen Xu.

"Alas, get up!" Chen Xu sighed and pulled the two little girls up, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your young lady's illness is terminal, I'm afraid that there is little hope, don't cry, I'll go to Dr. Xu and discuss it!" ”

Chen Xu pushed the door out and said to Qin Shi Huang: "Your Majesty, the minister has already visited Princess Qingning, the situation is indeed not optimistic, and the minister wants to discuss the countermeasures carefully with the imperial doctors!" ”

Qin Shi Huang nodded and looked at Xu Fu and more than a dozen imperial doctors and said, "You must all obey the arrangement of the Marquis of Qinghe, carefully diagnose and treat Princess Qingning, and do your best!" ”

"Huh~" Xu Fu and a group of imperial doctors all bowed their hands with solemn faces.

"Qinghehou, Qingning's illness will be entrusted to you for the time being, if you can save it, you can save it, if you can't save it, don't work too hard, take care of your body, I still need Qinghehou's help with many things, Qingning...... Alas, I went back to the palace first! After Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, he sighed a little sadly, and left Princess Qingning's mansion under the escort of the guards and palace people, and soon disappeared into the vast snow.

Chen Xu was silent, Wang Qingsleeve was named Princess Qingning, and she was a woman from the heavenly family, but in the emperor's eyes, it was still not as important as state affairs, and the style of what she said to him was completely different from that of a group of imperial doctors.

However, in such an era, whether it is a son or a daughter compared with Jiangshan Sheji, the weight is not on the same level, not to mention the Qin Dynasty, even after two thousand years, this situation is still the same, how many royal children in all dynasties, the more accomplished the emperor, the more miserable the children will be, except for those who can ascend the throne, most of them live in the shadow of death, such as Li Shimin's son, a total of fourteen, twelve of them died unexpectedly, either forced to death by Li Shimin or killed by Wu Zetian, This is the sorrow of being a child of the heavenly family.
