Chapter 64: Public Humiliation
Su Li accompanied Yue Yan to live in the palace.
Yue Yan was hit by an arrow in her left shoulder, injuring an inch of her ventricles, and had a high fever for two days.
Su Li didn't close her eyes for two days and two nights, and was bombarded by Imperial Doctor Gao to rest, and the palace people intimately helped her get hot water and sent her a change of clothes.
Su Li washed her body briefly, but she still couldn't rest assured, so she simply fell asleep on her stomach next to Yue Yan's bed.
She originally just wanted to take a nap, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she couldn't open them, and she slept for a long time, and when she woke up again, she was lying on a small couch, and the surroundings were very quiet, she was stunned for a moment, and sat up suddenly.
"Well, what about the corpse?"
The familiar lazy voice came, and Su Li was on guard, and the next moment, his face was covered by a hot cloth that fell from the sky.
Su Li raised her hand and wiped her face with a handkerchief, wiped away the last bit of sleepiness, turned her head, and unexpectedly saw Chu Huai'an sitting in the house, eating crispy peanuts leisurely.
"When did Master Hou come?"
Su Li asked and got out of bed, washed the handkerchief and hung it on the washstand, and had no impression in her mind of how she got from Yue Yan's bedside to this couch.
Chu Huai'an chewed the peanuts crunchy: "This palace is not a forbidden place, you can come whenever you want!" There was a sense of pride in his tone, and Su Li nodded in agreement.
After sleeping for too long, her brain was a little dizzy, and her stomach was hungry, Su Li rubbed her head and walked to Chu Huai'an and sat down, someone knocked on the door, Chu Huai'an reached out and moved the small plate containing peanuts to the side, and shouted casually: "Come in!" ”
The door creaked open, and four or five palace people poured in with food.
The food is simmered in a small stove underneath the food, and when it is placed on the table, it is still steaming, and it is full of color, flavor, and flavor.
Su Li originally just felt a little hungry, the aroma poured into the tip of her nose, and her stomach suddenly sang about the empty city.
The palace people presented silver chopsticks, Su Li took it, and he was not polite, and he ate the dishes in a big gulp.
Only a pair of dishes and chopsticks were prepared, and Chu Huaian ate his peanuts as usual.
This feeling is very strange, the palace people quit after serving the meal, and there were only the two of them left in the quiet room, there was no communication, only the silver chopsticks and the porcelain plate and the clattering sound of peanuts in the mouth, but it was unexpectedly harmonious, revealing two points of stability.
Su Li has a small mouth, but she eats quickly, and she consumed too much in the first two days, and she actually ate all the meals by herself, and she burped very unimagedly after eating.
Hearing this, Chu Huai'an raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile: "You also learned from Lu Ji?" ”
“……”
Why does this man have to tear everything on others now?
Su Li didn't speak, and Chu Huai'an didn't continue to ask, his eyes swept over her shoulder: "Have you taken the medicine?" ”
"A little wound, it's already scabbed."
Saying this again, Chu Huaian clapped his hands, patted the peanut skin from his fingertips, and suddenly leaned over and clasped Su Li's chin.
Expecting that Su Li would want to break free, he used some force slightly, pressing the inch of skin under his fingertips slightly white, which formed a sharp contrast with the ruddy and oily lips, making the lips more translucent and attractive.
"Master Hou!"
Su Li let out a low cry and raised her hand to grab Chu Huai'an's wrist in case he made any other moves.
Chu Huai'an looked at her with clear eyes, from the smooth forehead, the slender willow eyebrows, and finally landed on the beautiful lips.
As if bewitched, he leaned closer, and between his breaths, he could smell the smell of the braised pork that Su Li had just eaten.
"In MIA, where did he touch you?"
Chu Huai'an asked, he didn't mention An Jue's name, as if he didn't bother to mention two words.
Such a distance was too close, and Su Li turned her head to avoid it: "No." ”
She didn't want to talk to Chu Huai'an about those details, anyway, she had already returned the kick, which was enough for An Jue to drink a pot, so there was no need to make a big fuss.
However, Chu Huai'an obviously didn't think so, he withdrew a little distance, and his other hand came to Su Li's neck weakly: "I didn't touch it, how did the clothes fall apart?" ”
Not only the clothes, but also the belly pockets were torn.
He remembered it clearly, how could he let Su Li get away with it like this??
"Accidentally scratched."
Su Li replied vaguely, stretched out her hand to push Chu Huai'an away, and her chest suddenly softened, this person actually poked in from the neckline just like An Jue that day!
Su Li subconsciously bent his knees and attacked like An Jue, but Chu Huai'an did not lose his vigilance like An Jue, he let go of Su Li's chin and avoided it sideways, but grabbed Su Li's waist, and between a few spins, he brought Su Li back to the couch and pressed it.
The man's figure was tall and big, pressing on his body like a small mountain, and what was even more infuriating was that his hand did not pull out at all, but took advantage of Su Li's struggle, and felt soft and delicate.
"Chu Huai'an!"
Su Li lowered her voice and roared, this is not in the Xiaoyao Mansion, she doesn't dare to make too much of it.
Her cheeks flushed with shame in her tone, and she wanted to lower her head and bite him the wrist.
"I'm here."
Chu Huai'an replied, his voice changed tone, a little hoarse, dyed with desire, but his eyes were still clear, reflecting Su Li's angry face biting her lip, which was very vivid.
"Didn't Ah Li claim that she was used to seeing the dust? How can I not touch others? ”
He asked lightly, like he really took Su Li as that kind of casual woman.
Su Li wanted to pretend to be indifferent like the previous times, but her heart was stagnant and painful, and she was aggrieved and uncomfortable.
The corners of her eyes were hot and red, she lowered her eyes and looked to the side, she didn't speak or struggle, relaxed her body and let him do it, but her face was so stubborn that it was distressing.
"Obviously you care so much, why do you pretend to be light in front of me?"
Chu Huai'an asked in a low voice, let go of Su Li, and pulled out his hand to pull Su Li's collar again.
Su Li sat up, the feeling of being touched in her chest still lingered, and there was even the warm body temperature of the man's fingertips.
"An Zhuwei is an official of the imperial court, can the Hou Ye chop off his hand for me?"
Su Li asked rhetorically, trying to calm herself, but her voice was still faintly choked.
Chu Huai'an twisted his fingertips and sighed secretly: "You haven't told your master, how do you know that you can't?" ”
A pun, implying that she did a lot of things in private, but she never told him and sought his refuge.
"Master Hou doesn't owe me anything, don't dare to bother Master Hou too much."
This was what he asked Su Li before, he didn't owe her anything, why should he help her clear Lu Ji's name? But at that time, he didn't know what he had said to Su Li five years ago.
The topic seemed to be over at this point, Su Li pursed her lips and stopped talking, and Chu Huai'an paced back and forth in the room, as if there was something unspeakable.
After another while, Chu Huaian raised his hand and pressed Su Li's shoulder, and promised very solemnly: "Be honest, I will give you an explanation from five years ago!" ”
In this sentence, he said every word very slowly, and the eyes that looked at Su Li were also very sincere, and Su Li could fully feel the sincerity when he said this, and the determination to make up his mind with difficulty.
He wasn't lying to her.
If these words were said to Su Li on the night five years ago, even if someone poked her backbone for the rest of her life, Su Li would grit her teeth and stay up, waiting for him to give her an explanation.
But it's too late.
She has already suffered those injuries and tribulations, and she doesn't care anymore if she doesn't say anything.
What he wants to give her now is what she doesn't want anymore.
Besides, the premise of what he said was that he didn't want Su Li to hurt Su Bangyue, in the final analysis, he was still on Su Bangyue's side, if something really happened, he would protect her, and it must be her.
Su Li understood more than anything else in her heart, but in the face of Chu Huai'an's sincere eyes, she still agreed very cooperatively: "Okay." ”
Yue Yan was so seriously injured, at this juncture, Su Li would not take the initiative to provoke Su Bangyue.
However, if she doesn't take the initiative to provoke, it doesn't mean that Su Bangyue will also turn a blind eye to her.
On the third day after Yue Yan woke up, Su Li was led to the imperial garden by a palace maid.
The excuse used by the palace maid was very simple, saying that Imperial Doctor Gao went to diagnose the fetus of the concubine Niangniang, and asked Su Li to go to the Imperial Hospital with her to get medicine.
This is not the first time this has happened, Su Li believed, and found that it was not the way to the Tai Hospital, Su Li turned around and walked back, and the palace maid came to a fake fall, screaming in pain, and soon attracted the guards.
Su Li didn't dare to clash with the guards, so she was taken down by the guards and escorted to the imperial garden.
The weather was quite gloomy that day, and the rain that had been accumulated for a few days turned into dark clouds hanging down on the horizon, and An Ruolan and a group of concubines were leisurely enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden.
An Ruolan has the highest grade, sitting in the middle, and the other concubines are surrounded by stars and moons.
Seeing Su Li, An Ruolan had a smile on her face, and there was no warmth in her smile, as if she was catching prey.
An Jue planted a big heel on Su Li and Chu Huai'an, not only suffered pain, but was also suspended from the post of military intelligence director Wei, which not only made An Jue lose face, but also made An Jia's face gloomy, and even An Ruolan was inevitably trained several times in the Queen Mother, An Ruolan was deeply impressed by Su Li.
"Yo, isn't this Miss Su San?" An Ruolan opened her mouth with a smile, and waited for the guard to kneel down with Su Li before she looked at the guard with a fake smile: "Miss Su has been ordered to live in the palace these days, what mistake did she make, and you dare to treat her like this?" ”
"Back to the concubine Niangniang, someone just disturbed the lady and the nobles outside the imperial garden, and the duty of the lowly duty was to escort her here."
"It turned out to be Miss Su, this palace just thought that an assassin had broken in." An Ruolan said and covered her lips with a silk handkerchief and laughed, and only after laughing did she have a good time and said: "It's all a misunderstanding, don't let go of Miss Su soon." ”
The guards obeyed the order and let go, Su Li still knelt on the ground and didn't get up, just after the palace maid had long since disappeared.
Knowing that she had fallen into the trap, Su Li didn't quibble too much, and opened her mouth to admit her mistake: "The people's girls are rude, the concubine Niangniang is magnanimous and not as knowledgeable as the people's girls, and the people's girls must keep it in mind!" ”
"It's just a misunderstanding, why should Miss Su mind so much." An Ruolan said softly, giving the palace maid who was serving her close a look, and the palace maid immediately stepped forward to help Su Li up.
Su Li stood aside, lowered her head slightly, and lowered her eyebrows, but An Ruolan didn't say anything to let her go.
Several concubines were sitting next to them, all of them knew what had happened to the An family recently, their eyes lingered on Su Li, the wind gradually blew, and they came out of their own bedroom, maybe they would meet the emperor, everyone was not very thick, and they were a little cold when the wind blew.
An Ruolan took a sip of hot tea slowly, and the topics of small talk were also put on hold because of Su Li's addition, and several concubines looked at Su Li and then at An Ruolan, secretly giving each other a look.
Su Bangyue went from a side concubine to a noble concubine, because of Chu Lingzhao's secret protection, she went all the way smoothly, and An Ruolan, with the queen mother's aunt, was naturally smooth.
Who in the palace doesn't have some means?
Su Bangyue will be coquettish with Chu Lingzhao, An Ruolan will not, her means are more clever, after all, the emperor's favor is too rare, but the queen mother's protection will always be there, with the queen mother here, what she wants to do, someone will rush to do it for her.
No, after a moment of silence, a woman dressed as a noble person looked at Su Li and said exaggeratedly: "Miss Su San in the mouth of the noble concubine, but the strange woman who was in the limelight on Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”
Someone took the lead, and the others immediately laughed and echoed: "Isn't that her!" ”
"Sister Liu's eyes are so good, it's her!"
Everyone laughed and took Su Li as a joke.
Su Li's face did not change color, and they were left to judge their own taste.
"The concubine heard that Miss Su has been away from Beijing for five years, and she only returned to Beijing recently, but something big happened five years ago, how did she run away from home in a good way?"
That Liu Guiren pretended to be confused and poked Su Li's scar, and when he caught a glimpse of An Ruolan's lips, he showed satisfaction, and knew that he was in the right direction, and An Ruolan just wanted to make things difficult for Su Li today.
Getting this conclusion, Liu Guiren smiled even more on his face, raised his hand and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and played with it, and everyone else also looked at Su Li with a smile, waiting for her to make a fool of herself.
Su Li also knew in her heart that Liu Guiren was in a hurry to be a gunman for An Ruolan, An Ruolan was a concubine, and she had the support of the Queen Mother, she wanted to take Su Li out of anger today, and Su Li could only bear it obediently.
"Five years ago, the folk girl was unfortunately kidnapped by mountain bandits, lost her innocence, and had no shame to stay at home, so she left home at night."
"Ah, I was defiled by the mountain bandits!"
Liu Guiren exclaimed, covered his lips and nose with an embroidered handkerchief, his eyes dodged and refused to look at Su Li, as if he saw something dirty, and the others also avoided it.
"It's all old things, what are you going to do with it." An Ruolan spoke quietly, and the words she said seemed to stop everyone from making fun of Su Li, but the tone was quite pleasant, and she glanced at Liu Guiren at the end of her eyes, suggesting that she should add another handful of firewood and burn the fire more vigorously.
People are like this, obviously they also live by looking at people's faces, and when they are being supported to step on others, they have a strange confidence that someone supports them.
At this time, Liu Guiren regarded An Ruolan as a backer, and looked at Su Li's eyes with more and more disdain, she spit out the melon seed shell towards Su Li, and raised her hand to brush the emission of sideburns: "In Yuanzhao country, it is customary that unmarried women who lose their virginity should be immersed in a pig cage and sink into the pond to save their name. ”
Liu Guiren asked curiously, his eyes blinked, his eyes were quenched with poison, showing madness.
The concubines who were originally laughing gradually stopped, there is no shortage of unjust souls in the palace, but the sky is blue and the sun is shining, everyone is watching, Su Li is not a person in this palace, if someone dies, it will be bad after all.
"What the noble man said is that my father also planned to sink the people's daughter into the pond, but the people's daughter was timid since she was a child and was afraid of death, so she survived in the world."
Su Li replied, her tone was still very calm, five years ago in Chu Huai'an's courtyard, Chu Liu also humiliated her in public like this, trampling her face and self-esteem on the ground, and now it is nothing special to relive it.
Su Li was so calm, which surprised everyone, and the smile on An Ruolan's face became faint.
Today she left Su Li just to have fun, Su Li is not panicked and ashamed, what is the point of teasing?
Thinking of this, An Ruolan coughed lightly, and the palace maid immediately put on a cloak for her: "Niangniang, be careful of catching a cold." ”
The palace maid reminded softly, An Ruolan gathered her cloak with a boring face, and made a gesture to stand up, seeing that the opportunity to pat the horse's ass was about to be lost, how could Liu Guiren sit still, and immediately pointed at Su Li and said: "The concubine sees that Miss Su's body is very dirty, and in front of her is the Huaqing Pond that His Majesty ordered someone to chise, Miss Su might as well go in and wash her body, don't dirty our eyes!" ”
At the beginning of the new year, it was still very cold, and now when I soak in this pool, even men can't stand it, let alone delicate and frail women?
"The noble man forgives the sin, the body of the folk girl has long been dirty, no matter how much you wash it, you can't be reborn, if the noble person doesn't want to see the folk girl, the folk girl will leave!"
After Su Li finished speaking, she turned around to leave, An Ruolan sat down again, and said with interest: "Slow, Liu Guiren is also kind, Miss Su's attitude is inevitably too tough, right?" ”
An Ruolan's identity is different from Liu Guiren's, as soon as she spoke, there were guards who immediately blocked Su Li's way.
She said that Su Li had a tough attitude, what is this?
Su Li didn't break through, took a deep breath, turned around and knelt down towards An Ruolan: "Guifei Niangniang, An Zhuwei's suspension is indeed related to the concubine, but the folk girl is a grass people, and she really doesn't have the ability to put An Zhuwei here, and please have a large number of concubines, don't worry about the people!" ”
These words make it clear that An Ruolan is deliberately making things difficult for herself today, and she has pushed the responsibility on her body clean.
An Ruolan's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and she only felt that the daughter raised by the Su family was really better than the other.
It's a pity that if you are born in the wrong child, you are born cheap!
An Ruolan raised his hand to play with the teacup, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "Miss Su really misunderstood this palace, this palace knows that this younger brother is rude and reckless, and he is more than guilty of failure, he is to blame for today, how can he deliberately make things difficult for Miss Su?" ”
As soon as she let go of her hand after speaking, the teacup fell to the ground and fell to pieces, and the concubines were startled, and hurriedly echoed: "That's it, the concubine Niangniang has always been generous to others, how can she worry about you!" ”
"That's it, I think some people are not only dirty in their bodies, but also in their hearts, so they always feel that others have bad intentions to harm her!"
Three women in one play, several concubines get together, gossiping, and what they say should not be underestimated.
But no matter what they said, Su Li still refused to go into the water.
Liu Guiren also knew that she was too tough just now, if she was caught, I was afraid that it would be difficult to excuse her, she was full of thoughts, quickly thought of a way, and after a while, she laughed, raised her hand to take off the bead hairpin on her head, walked to the edge of the pool with her skirt, and threw the hairpin into the pool with her bare hands.
"Oh, the gilded agate hairpin that the Queen Mother rewarded her concubine on the first day of the first month has fallen, Miss Su has good water quality, can you help the concubine pick it up?"
Liu Guiren shouted exaggeratedly, and the perfunctory performance on his face was a little anxious.
Su Li never said that she was good at water, and as soon as Liu Guiren said this, everyone immediately understood, and they all spoke in a unified voice: "Yes, yes, Miss Su, you have good water quality, help Sister Liu pick it up!" ”
Everyone is talking non-stop, pointing to the deer as a horse, reversing black and white, looking at this posture, today this Shui Su pear has made up his mind!
An Ruolan's expression was happy, drinking tea and waiting for Su Li's reaction.
"The things given by the Queen Mother herself, I don't dare to be careless!"
Su Li walked to the edge of the pool as she spoke, propped herself on the railing with one hand, and with the strength of her feet, her body jumped up, and she jumped into the pool amid the exclamations of the concubines.
The water in the pond is colder than expected, and in the summer, the water lilies are replanted in the pond for viewing, so the water is not deep, and there is a thick silt underneath, which emits a foul smell and makes people unable to move.
"Oops, it stinks, I'll just say she's dirty and should be washed!"
Liu Guiren was lying on the railing to watch the excitement, and he said cool words about squeezing Su Li, and everyone else laughed.
Su Li turned a deaf ear, held her breath and sank into the water to find the hairpin.
The place where she jumped down was near Liu Guiren's hairpin, and she touched it back and forth three times, and finally found it, Su Li swam to the shore and was about to go up, but was stopped by Liu Guiren: "Eh, did you find it?" You throw the hairpin up and I'll see, what if it's not mine? ”
This requirement is clearly intended to make things difficult, Su Li looked down at the hairpin, the hairpin was decorated with teardrop-shaped agate, if it fell, I am afraid that this person would have something to say, and with a heart, Su Li tore off a sleeve and wrapped the hairpin and threw it on.
Liu Guiren naturally couldn't catch it with her hands, and when the hairpin fell to the ground, she kicked it away with her feet in disgust.
This hairpin was not rewarded by the Queen Mother at all, but was issued by the Internal Affairs Office according to the rules.
After kicking, she subconsciously looked at An Ruolan, An Ruolan ignored her, and talked to the palace maid beside her: "The flowers in the imperial garden bloomed quite early this year. ”
"Yes, Niangniang, the slave has already asked people to prepare the stove, and the Niangniang can watch it as long as she likes."
"You're pretty smart."
An Ruolan praised the palace maid, and where did she really want to see flowers, she obviously wanted to continue watching the show!
Liu Guiren is also a smart person, and immediately pulled the pair of gold-inlaid jade earrings on his ears and threw them into the pool.
"Oops, my earrings!" Liu Guiren shouted exaggeratedly, stomping his feet to show his annoyance: "The hairpin has been fished up, the earrings have fallen again, Miss Su is already wet left and right, why don't you help me find the earrings again!" ”
The hairpin is still so big, the earrings are pitifully small, Liu Guiren threw it out with the strength of milk, when will Su Li touch it in the pool?
After only staying in the water for a while, Su Li's whole body was already cold, and her upper and lower teeth were shaking and fighting, and if she soaked it again, she was afraid that she would lie down longer than Yue Yan.
The body was so cold that Su Li soaked in the water and didn't move, looking up at Liu Guiren.
The pool is actually not high, Liu Guiren can clearly see every inch of Su Li's facial expressions, and when Su Li looks at it, she inexplicably feels that the water in the pool seems to be gushing up, which makes her back chill.
"You...... What do you see me doing? ”
Liu Guiren asked angrily, his tongue was a little knotted.
Knowing that she couldn't be the master, Su Li didn't talk nonsense with her, and said loudly: "Concubine An, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, today's matter, I promise not to tell Hou Ye and others, if you want to be angry for An Zhuwei, I will admit it, but I live in the Hou Mansion now, and I am also half of the Hou Ye's person, if the concubine Niangniang goes too far, the Hou Ye is afraid that his face will be disgraceful." ”
After Su Li finished speaking, no one on the shore spoke, they didn't expect Su Li to be so bold that she dared to move out of Chu Huai'an and An Ruolan to raise the bar.
After waiting for a while, An Ruolan still didn't let Su Li get up, and Su Li had to continue to add chips: "I live in the palace on the orders of His Majesty, if something happens to me, Your Majesty should not sit idly by, once it is checked, I am afraid that it will hurt the relationship between Your Majesty and the concubine!" ”
As soon as these words came out, three or two concubines covered their mouths with wide eyes, for fear of venting the slightest consternation.
This Miss Su San is really not afraid of trouble coming out of her mouth!
Su Li was still in the pool, and she couldn't see the gloom in An Ruolan's eyes, her eyes swept over the faces of everyone by the pool, and she smiled sweetly: "It's just a pair of earrings, the palace will let people send a few pairs to Liu Guiren to the palace for a while, why bother with these gadgets." ”
As she spoke, An Ruolan stood up, and the palace maid immediately retreated to the front to guide her, and this posture was to spare Su Li.
All the concubines saluted one after another, and shouted in unison: "The concubines send the concubine Niangniang!" ”
"Excuse me!"
An Ruolan raised her hand excitedly, took two steps forward, and looked back at everyone meaningfully: "It's a cold day today, you sisters must remember to drink medicine after you go back, in case your brain is confused and says the wrong thing, it's not good!" ”
This is said with concern, but the implication is to knock the crowd not to publicize today's events.
Everyone's scalps were numb, and they hurriedly agreed: "Xie Guifei cares!" ”
An Ruolan walked away, and Su Li climbed up from the pool listening to the movement.
She was soaking wet, her clothes were still covered in mud, and the smell was dripping with muddy water, and all the concubines who stayed behind ran away.
Su Li didn't care, grabbed the skirt and wrung it out, and caught a glimpse of the agate hairpin that was kicked aside by Liu Guiren.
"Nobleman, don't you want your hairpin?"
Su Li picked up the hairpin and asked, Liu Guiren looked at her and then at the mud-stained hairpin, and disgust flashed in his eyes: "It's dirty to death when you touch it, don't do it!" After speaking, he led the palace maid and left in a hurry.
The appearance of this hairpin is not very amazing, but the workmanship is quite exquisite, Liu Guiren doesn't want it, Su Li raised his hand and wiped it, put it on his head, and walked back.
Halfway through, he almost collided with Dr. Gao, who was hurrying here.
"Oh my aunt, where have you been?"
As soon as he saw Su Li, Imperial Physician Gao couldn't help but ask, smelling the smell at the tip of his nose, and seeing Su Li in a wet and embarrassed state, he hurriedly pulled Su Li aside: "Why did you get like this?" ”
"It's nothing, I accidentally fell into the pool."
Su Li said lightly, the corner of Imperial Physician Gao's eyes twitched, the pools in the palace are blocked by half-human-high railings, how careless do you have to be to fall into it?
Knowing that Su Li was lying, Doctor Gao didn't bother to ask, pulled Su Li back, asked someone to bring hot water, and personally asked the doctor to boil a decoction to ward off the cold.
Su Li was really frozen, and she soaked in hot water for a quarter of an hour before she stopped shivering.
The palace people from the Internal Affairs Office sent a clean change of clothes, Su Li didn't dare to soak for a long time, quickly wiped her body and changed it, opened the door, and Imperial Doctor Gao rushed in with a lukewarm medicine for Su Li to drink.
After drinking the medicine, my body warmed up, but my brain was still a little dizzy.
Doctor Gao retired from the palace, and nervously leaned into Su Li's ear: "Just now, Your Majesty asked Xiao Yan'er to call her away, I'm a little worried, can you tell me the truth, what are you and her going to do when you come back this time?" ”
He probably hadn't done anything bad, there were only two people in the room, him and Su Li, still looking left and right, his voice couldn't be lowered, and his eyes were scurrying like they were on fire.
With such courage, I don't know how dare I rush out that day and use my life to protect Yue Yan.
"Rest assured, Imperial Physician Gao, Your Majesty is just asking a few words, nothing will happen."
Su Li calmly comforted, she didn't take this seriously, Imperial Doctor Gao heard that her teeth hurt, the current female doll is really bolder than the other, that is the Ninety-Five, can it be fine?
He was worried, and couldn't help muttering: "Don't you worry, with the protection of the Hou Ye and the concubine, my little Yan'er will be alone, if something happens to her, who can help her?" ”
There was a little bit of a complaint in these words, but it was also out of the position of worrying about Yue Yan, Su Li was not angry, and poured a cup of cold tea for him to reduce the fire: "Something happened to her, isn't there still me." ”
“……”
Thinking of Su Li's previous reaction in front of the emperor, Imperial Physician Gao lost his voice, drank the cup of tea with his head bored, and the coolness soaked into his stomach, he raised his hand and slapped himself in the mouth: "Miss Su, the old man didn't mean that just now, don't mind." ”
"It's okay, I can understand Imperial Doctor Gao's feelings."
Su Li smiled indifferently, her head was getting hotter and hotter, her cheeks were flushed, her lower abdomen was getting more and more distended, and there was a faint pain, Su Li's intuition was not good, and cold sweat began to break out on her back.
Count the days, she should come to the small day these days.
I soaked in cold water today, I'm afraid there will be a problem.
Just thinking about it, there was a wet feeling between her legs, Su Li gritted her teeth, and had no choice but to ask for help from Imperial Doctor Gao.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Li changed into a menstrual belt and curled up in the quilt with the stove, and she had already covered two quilts, but she still felt cold, and the whole person seemed to be still soaking in ice water.
"Hmm!"
There was another cramping pain in her abdomen, Su Li gritted her teeth and snorted, she had just poured two bowls of medicine to warm the uterus and invigorate the blood, but it still had no effect at all.
Imperial Physician Gao sat next to her and checked her pulse, and after a while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her hands, which was slippery and greasy, and even her pulse was unstable.
Doctor Gao frowned and shook his head, Su Li was poisoned before, and there was still residual poison in his body, but today he soaked in cold water, and the sunflower water came again, which was simply worse.
"It's cold!"
Su Li muttered, her consciousness was no longer awake, and her face was pale, as if she had been poisoned.
Imperial Physician Gao was thinking about what to do with it, when the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Chu Huai'an strode in with a blue face.
"Master Hou, why did you enter the palace again?"
Doctor Gao asked, in the past few days, Chu Huai'an has treated the palace as if he was at home, and he ran to the palace if he had nothing to do.
Chu Huai'an ignored her, walked straight to Su Li, and saw that her face was extremely ugly, and the momentum of her body suddenly changed, and she attacked Imperial Doctor Gao fiercely: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's a small day, just two days."
Imperial Doctor Gao replied, concealing the incident of Su Li falling into the pool, at this time the person concerned was unconscious, he said this, and Chu Huai'an was allowed to vent his anger.
Chu Huai'an's brows were furrowed so much that he could kill a fly: "She hasn't been so painful before, how can it be so painful this time?" ”
“……”
So, Master Hou, do you even remember other people's little days clearly?
Imperial Physician Gao's old face twitched, Chu Huaian didn't pay attention to his small expression, leaned over and touched Su Li's forehead, and felt cold.
"It's so cold......"
Su Li shouted, the whole person trembled violently, and there was a soft clicking sound between his teeth.
"Bring the quilt again!"
Chu Huai'an ordered, and the palace people took the quilt and the stove for Su Li to add, but she was still very cold, like a piece of ice, and she couldn't simmer it hot.
"What now?"
Chu Huai'an grabbed Imperial Physician Gao's collar and asked, almost strangling the person to faint.
"Hou ...... Master Hou, boil ...... It's good to survive tonight. Doctor Gao tried to inhale and replied, there is no way to feed Su Li medicine at this time.
Chu Huai'an angrily kicked people out of the room, and heard Su Li say cold a few times, tears welled up pitifully from the corners of his eyes, and his heart ached, Chu Huai'an took off his clothes, leaving only his underwear to open the quilt and lie in.
He was young and strong, his body was like a walking stove, he hugged Su Li from behind, pressed her cold back to his chest, and at the same time protected her lower abdomen with his hands.
A steady stream of heat spread all over her limbs, and after a while, Su Li's body began to heat and sweat.
"It's hot!"
Su Li muttered dissatisfiedly, and unconsciously wanted to kick the quilt, but Chu Huai'an raised her foot and pressed her to warn: "Don't move, do you want to die of heat or pain?" ”
Su Li didn't know who was talking in her ear in a daze, and she actually replied: "I don't want to die." ”
“……”
No one let you die!
Chu Huai'an slandered, tucked the corners of the quilt, and covered Su Li tightly, Su Li was hot, he was hotter than Su Li.
It was so hot that the pain in her abdomen disappeared, and Su Li fell asleep quickly, but she didn't sleep well, and soon tossed again.
"I didn't...... I didn't! ”
Su Li was talking in her dream, her voice was very low at first, Chu Huaian didn't hear what she was saying clearly, and tried to get close to her mouth to listen for a long time before she heard her clearly: "...... I didn't lose my body, it was Su Bangyue who hurt me, it was she who made people imitate your handwriting and hurt me, why don't you believe me? ”
She was not like the hoarse question she asked at night five years ago, her voice was very small, with crying and endless grievances.
Choked in her throat, Chu Huaian didn't know how to answer, so she only hugged her tighter.
Su Li nestled in his arms, whimpering quietly, like a puppy who had been bullied, Chu Huai'an patted her back, from her shoulders to her tail vertebrae.
Slowly, Su Li stopped crying, and her breathing gradually stabilized.
Chu Huai'an was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he suddenly heard Su Li shouting very shallowly: "Chu Huai'an, I don't want to go to Goolan Courtyard......"
She was sick and confused, her tone was childish, and her brow was furrowed into folds that could not be dissolved.
Chu Huai'an's heart seemed to have been punched, and suddenly a hole was empty, and a cold wind was blowing.
Goolan Temple?
When is he going to send her to that kind of place?
"A-Li." He called her gently, afraid of disturbing her dreams, and afraid of waking her up, and didn't know how to face it.
Su Li fell asleep after saying that, her brows still furrowed.
"Ah Li, who is going to send you to Goolan Courtyard?"
Chu Huai'an asked again, this time it was a little higher than just now, and unconsciously grabbed her arm.
Xu is pain Su Li snorted, curled up in a ball, and ignored him no longer.
The room was so quiet that only the sound of intertwined heartbeats and breathing remained, and Chu Huaian suddenly wanted to raise his hand and slap himself.
Where did he get the confidence before, and asked Su Li if he owed her?
Chu Huai'an stayed in the palace until dark, he and Su Li were wet with sweat, the palace people carried hot water to bathe him, and the doctor helped Su Li wipe her body and change into a clean and refreshing bedding.
The Queen Mother sent someone to invite him to dinner, but he didn't go, and hurriedly left the palace and went straight to the Hou Mansion.
When I returned to the Hou Mansion, the house had just been lit with lights, there were no children, and the house was quiet.
Since returning from the imperial mausoleum that day, Chu Liu has been bent on the Buddha and no longer asks about the affairs of the house, and when he stepped into the courtyard gate, Chu Huai'an also heard the peaceful sound of wooden fish.
The sound calmed his restless heart a little, and his pace slowed.
Pushing the door in, Chu Liu knelt on the futon, and the Buddha statue seemed to be plated with another layer of gold, which was even brighter than last year.
"Mother."
Chu Huai'an shouted, and Chu Liu stopped and looked back at him.
"I have something to ask you, wait until you're done praying, I'll wait for you outside."
When it came to the end, he was not in a hurry, and after saying that, he walked outside the Buddha hall and stood and waited.
"Boom~~~"
There was a muffled thunderstorm in the sky, and after a while, the spring rain that had been brewing for several days began to fall.
The spring rain is soft but hides needles, and it is still cold when it falls on the skin.
The old lady came over with an umbrella, but was restrained by Chu Huai'an's cold eyes, and did not dare to step forward to cover him from the rain.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the clothes were soon soaked, and the night breeze blew and shivered with cold.
Chu Liu finally finished reciting the Buddhist scriptures, opened the door and came out, and saw Chu Huai'an standing in the rain, his face changed: "Sincerely, it is raining so hard, what are you doing standing outside?" ”
"Mother, Ah Li came to me five years ago, what did you do to her?"
Chu Huai'an brought up this topic again, and from the moment he opened his mouth to ask this, Chu Liu guessed what was going on, but she still held on to the last trace of luck.
"She was talking nonsense, and I had her sent out of town." She insisted on her answer last time, and added without waiting for Chu Huai'an to speak: "You made such a vow in front of the Buddha last time, just for you, and I won't tell a lie, just like that, can you trust your mother like this?" ”
Chu Liu asked, beating his chest, his tone a little disappointed.
"Son Xinniang."
Chu Huai'an nodded, and the rain wet his eyelashes, blurring his vision, so that he couldn't see Liu's face clearly.
He took a step towards Chu Liu, and the eaves kept dripping like a string of beads with broken threads.
"Mother, outside the capital, there are countless Goolan courtyards, which one were you going to send her to?"
