Chapter 94: The fate has been decided
At the ugly moment, Su Li came to the corner of the palace with a lantern, and when a person saw her coming, he immediately greeted her happily.
"Ah Zhan has been waiting for you, but it's too late, he really can't stay up and goes to sleep first, do you want to go in and see him?" Yue Yan asked in a low voice, grabbed Su Li's hand, touched a cold, and couldn't help frowning: "Why is Ah Li's hand so cold?" ”
"Nothing."
Su Li was accustomed to saying, Yue Yan frowned and looked uneasy: "You always put these two words on your lips, I can see it clearly in the banquet hall just now, you can't even hold a wine glass in your hand, how can you be fine?" ”
"I've got some injuries, but I'll be fine if I practice slowly in the future."
Su Li looked very open, as if she knew that there would be a scar on her face.
Yue Yan knew her temperament, and didn't say more: "There are a lot of medical books and ancient books in Tai Hospital, these days I have flipped through the books and soaked some medicinal wine, which should have some effect on repairing muscles and bones, you go with me to rub the medicinal wine first, and then go to see Ah Zhan after dawn." ”
The medical books and ancient books of Tai Hospital are all good recipes, and with Yue Yan's current identity, it is easy to get some good medicinal materials from the warehouse, and the medicinal wine brewed out is extraordinary.
When Yue Yan slapped the medicinal wine on Su Li's shoulder, his skin immediately burned like fire, and the new wounds and old injuries burned together, staggered like a net, and Su Li's forehead quickly hurt into a dense layer of sweat.
Yue Yan took a handkerchief to help her wipe her sweat, knowing that she was uncomfortable now, she said softly: "I have tried this medicine, but it will burn unbearably at first, so you should persevere." ”
After speaking, he unconsciously reddened his eyes: "Why did you get so injured again this time?" Don't you want a good body and bones? Ah Zhan is still young, and the general and the prince are not by his side, can't you take care of Ah Zhan and live a peaceful life? ”
"Isn't there still you by Ah Zhan's side?"
Su Li gasped and said, the medicinal wine seeped into the flesh and blood from the skin, and it seemed that even the blood was burning, Su Li's brain was a little dizzy, and Yue Yan smeared some medicinal wine on the wound on her right wrist.
"Ah Zhan has had a temper since he was a child, he doesn't like to be close to me, he just wants you as a mother!"
Yue Yan wanted to use Su Zhan to tie Su Li, but Su Li didn't fall into her trap and deliberately distorted her meaning: "My sister is complaining to me, isn't it that Ah Zhan has been disobedient and has caused you trouble in the past few months?" ”
"A-Li!"
Yue Yan glared at Su Li angrily, angry and distressed, almost provoked to tears by Su Li, Su Li hurriedly begged for mercy: "What my sister said is that now that my hands are useless, I can't do anything, I won't run around and cause trouble to others, and when my sister opens a medical center in the future, I will honestly decoct medicine for you in the medical hall as a partner?" ”
"Seriously?"
Yue Yan's eyes lit up, he really didn't want Su Li to do those dangerous things again.
Her appearance made Su Li think of Su Zhaoyue, her eyes were slightly dark, and she nodded seriously: "Really, when the envoys leave Beijing and the general returns to Saibei, after everything is settled, I will do some business to make money, and from time to time I can send some supplies to the soldiers in the army." ”
Su Li is seriously planning.
After the case of embezzlement of military salaries, she realized the importance of the exchange of information between Beijing and the border pass, and thousands of soldiers were guarding the border pass, and the capital needed reliable people to watch.
She is not good now, and she will only be a burden on the battlefield, so it is better to stay in Beijing and take care of one or two when the time comes.
Yue Yan was very happy that Su Li could stay in the capital, but he quickly hesitated: "Then Ah Li and the general ......."
"What happened to me and the general?"
Su Li looked dazed, there was no one else here, and Yue Yan didn't cover up so much: "Aren't you going to separate the two places?" ”
“……”
Su Li didn't expect Yue Yan to have such concerns, and didn't know how to explain, Yue Yan said again: "Life in the army is hard, the general is young and vigorous, Ah Zhan is still young, if you take the opportunity to have a child, Ah Zhan can probably get along well with his younger brothers and sisters, but it is inevitable that they will be lonely when they live apart......"
Seeing that Yue Yan was getting more and more outrageous, Su Li couldn't help but hold her forehead: "Sister Yan, although I like the general, I don't mean that to the general." ”
"How could it not mean that? If you really like someone, you want to give them both your body and mind. Yue Yan frowned and asked, seemingly not understanding Su Li's words at all.
"It's not early, good sister, let me rest first, and let's discuss this matter another day, okay?"
Su Li begged for mercy, she danced at the banquet today, she was really tired, and the medicinal wine burned, the wine seemed to invade the texture, and her brain became groggy.
"After smearing the medicinal wine, you will indeed have drowsiness, I will bring you a bed quilt again."
Yue Yan was no longer entangled, hugged the quilt and came over to sleep with Su Li.
The room was quiet, Su Li was dazed and sleepy, and seeing that she was about to fall asleep, Yue Yan suddenly murmured: "Ah Li, before you arrived at the border pass, you had a relationship with Hou Ye?" ”
Su Li's breathing paused, she didn't speak, and after a while, she felt Yue Yan gently help her tuck the corners of the quilt.
Yue Yan quickly fell asleep, but Su Li lost his sleepiness.
In the past five years at the border pass, the barracks are full of rough old men, and they are all facing chaos, in order to keep her from dragging her back, Lu Ji did not treat her as a woman, she herself regarded herself as a man.
All she thought about in her mind was how to kill the enemy and how to make the Hu people dare not invade again, on the battlefield, Lu Ji saved her life several times, and she also helped Lu Ji block the knife, she was happy with him, it seemed to be a very normal thing.
But she never thought of doing things with Lu Ji as a man and a woman.
Isn't it enough for her to help him take care of Ah Zhan and be filial to Lord Guogong, so that he has no worries?
Men and women's affairs......
Extremely abruptly, Su Li thought of Chu Huai'an's unruly intimate behavior in the Xiaoyao Mansion before, and her heart couldn't help but palpitate.
That's not true!
Su Li shook her head to interrupt her thoughts, turned over, and forced herself to sleep.
When she left Beijing five years ago, her heart died, and she and Chu Huai'an were ruthless five years ago, and there won't be one in five years!
Her mind was disturbed, Su Li didn't sleep very well, she had strange dreams, and when she woke up again, Su Zhan was lying on the head of the bed looking at her with a bright face.
Seeing her wake up, she immediately grinned, revealing two rows of white and neat teeth: "Mother! ”
He smiled brightly, he was a little taller than before he left Beijing, I don't know if it was because of his length, his fleshy face was thinner, and he could vaguely see the outline similar to Lu Ji.
"Ah Zhan, morning."
"It's not early, it's almost noon! Aunt Yue had already gone to the Tai Hospital to read books. ”
Looking up at the window, sure enough, it was already three poles in the sun, and I overslept!
Su Li hurriedly got up, washed up, the palace people sent meals, and Su Li and Su Zhan ate together.
Su Zhan was in a good mood and had a good appetite, he ate a lot in one go, and after eating, his little stomach bulged, and he burped around the house, afraid that he would accumulate food, so Su Li helped him rub his little belly.
Su Zhan was a little embarrassed, feeling that he had lost the face of a little man, so he said with a small face: "Mother, I'm fine, just go out and walk twice." ”
In the palace, it is better not to move around freely.
Su Li wanted to admonish Su Zhan, but Su Zhan pulled the hem of his clothes and walked outside, and Su Zhan said excitedly as he walked: "I have to walk outside after dinner every day, and Aunt Yue also said that walking more after meals is good for your body." ”
Hearing what he said, he had been walking around for the past few months, and Su Li was relieved and didn't ruin his interest.
Although Su Zhan looks thinner, he is no worse than walking in time, he is wearing a royal blue brocade robe today, the clothes are uniformly made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the placket, cuffs and hem have delicate dark lines, and there are also jade on the belt, and he still looks like a young man with a good identity.
Besides, along the way, those palace maids would bow their heads to salute him when they saw him, and then salute Su Li.
It can be seen that Chu Lingzhao let him live in the palace, but he did not criticize him at all.
After walking for a while, Su Zhan was not so uncomfortable, returned to Su Li's side, grabbed Su Li's hand and asked, "Mother, is Daddy back too?" When can I see Daddy? ”
"Ah Zhan wants to see his father, he needs His Majesty's consent, and when I have the opportunity, I will help Ah Zhan ask His Majesty and tell you, okay?"
"Hmm."
Su Zhan nodded, a little lost.
He is different from other children, he doesn't often see his father, at that time in Saibei, his father always has to go out to fight, he sees the most in the barracks those uncles and uncles who love to fight shirtless and talk about meat and the yellow sand in the north of Saibei, now back to the bustling Kyoto, he knows that his father and grandfather are high-status officials, but it is more difficult to see his father.
"Ah Zhan ......"
Sensing that Su Zhan's mood was wrong, Su Li rubbed his head and wanted to comfort him, Su Zhan raised his head and looked at Su Li seriously: "Mother, do you say that Daddy doesn't want me anymore?" ”
"How could Ah Zhan have such an idea? You are your father's blood, there is no one in this world who loves you more than him, how can he not want you? ”
Su Li squatted down and wanted to take Su Zhan into his arms, but was avoided by Su Zhan, and there was a trace of anger on his face that was extremely inconsistent with his age: "Ah Zhan is useless, small and fragile, when he encounters danger, he will only drag his father back, Ah Zhan is a burden to his father, so his father will not want Ah Zhan!" ”
Su Zhan became emotional as he spoke, Su Li didn't know if he had listened to what others had said in the past few months, and wanted to hold him to communicate well, but his hand couldn't be used, and he broke free and turned his head and ran away.
"Ah Zhan!"
Su Li chased after him, Su Zhan looked small, but the two little short legs ran extremely fast, and Su Li couldn't catch up with him for a while.
Going around the twists and turns of the Imperial Garden, Su Zhan lost his shadow.
Su Li was worried that something would happen to him, and she was anxious, and she was about to go to the Tai Hospital to find Yue Yan to find a way, when she suddenly heard a scream.
Ah Zhan!
With a tight heart, Su Li ran over with the sound, ran for a while, and saw the door plaque of the Yunchen Hall refracting dazzling light from a distance, and Su Zhan's voice came from inside: "Mother, help, mother!" ”
Su Li immediately stepped into the hall.
Since the Su family was exiled, the Yunchen Palace has gradually become almost a cold palace, and there were guards guarding it at first, but then Chu Lingzhao didn't have time to take care of Su Bangyue, so he withdrew the guards and asked people to close the palace door and only deliver meals on time.
Su Li stepped into the hall and saw Su Bangyue standing outside the hall gate at a glance and Su Zhan holding her leg and refusing to let go.
Su Bangyue had long lost the nobility of the imperial concubine, the clothes she was wearing were dirty, her hair was unkempt and covered most of her appearance, and she held a small bag in her hand, as if she was going to throw it to the ground.
"Stop!"
Su Li shouted and strode over, Su Bangyue didn't hear Su Li's voice at all, and threw the burden down.
Su Bangyue's movements were too fast, and Su Li couldn't catch up at all.
"Ahh
Su Zhan screamed and turned his head, as if he was afraid of seeing some terrible scene.
"Wow Wow~~"
The baby's loud cry pierced the tense atmosphere, and Su Li lay on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, her elbow rubbed the skin on the floor tiles, and it hurt hotly.
Ignoring the injuries on her hands, Su Li hurriedly opened the baggage to check the child's injuries, and after opening it, the whole person was stunned.
This is a child born with a deformity.
The child has no toes on his left foot, six fingers on his right hand, and a black birthmark on the right half of his face.
Yin and Yang face.
Su Li's heart skipped a beat, and she understood the identity of this child.
This is the prince born to Su Bangyue, the eldest son of the emperor of Yuanzhao Kingdom.
Chu Shen, the word Shen originated from his father's desire for him to be cautious in his words and deeds, the word mercy, compassion is sympathy and pity, when he was not yet born, his father had already anticipated the sorrow of his life.
He is a child who is not expected to be cared for by his father, and is just a tool used to punish a concubine who has made a mistake.
"Mother!"
Seeing Su Li catching the child, Su Zhan shouted happily, and hurriedly let go of Su Bangyue and ran to Su Li's side.
"Ah!!h
Xu was stimulated by Su Zhan's 'mother's kiss', Su Bangyue covered her ears and screamed: "Don't call me!" I'm not your mother! Monster! You're a monster! Get out of the way, don't come near me! ”
Su Bangyue shouted and ran back to the hall, she wanted to close the door, but there was the body of the palace man who was killed by her and came to deliver the meal.
She couldn't close the door, so she gave up, bypassing the screen and hiding back to the gloomy palace, with the screen seemed to give her a sense of security, and the screams gradually became quieter, and then Su Li heard her singing.
The song was a nursery rhyme they had heard when they were young, and it was melodious and used to lull the child to sleep.
She lost her child, but she weaved a false dream for herself, maybe in that dream, she did not gamble with the child in her womb, nor was she snubbed and rejected by the emperor, she gave birth to a healthy prince, who will be canonized as the crown prince in the name of the emperor's eldest son in the future, and then ascend to the throne!
It's sad......
Su Li thought in her heart and gently patted Chu Shen's back.
No matter what happened to Su Bangyue, the child was innocent.
"Mother, can we take him to the imperial doctor?"
Su Zhan asked in a low voice, having lived here for a few months, he vaguely knew the identity of this child, and he also knew that the emperor did not like this child.
"I can't." Su Li vetoed, squatted down and said to Su Zhan: "Ah Zhan, can you go to the Tai Hospital to find Aunt Yue over?" ”
"Good!" Su Zhan ran out in response.
The child was only a few months old, and it was not very heavy, but Su Li couldn't hold it for a while, and was about to find a place to sit for a while, when he suddenly heard a small conversation outside the door, and after a while, Hu Wanyan walked in under the guidance of the palace people.
Su Li hugged the child and couldn't be rumored, Chu Shen cried more and more, he was already not in good health, and he began to cough while crying, as if the little one was going to cough out his heart.
"County Lord, let Yan'er try it."
Hu Wanyan said softly, walked in front of Su Li in three or two steps, and took the child from Su Li's hand without saying anything.
With a sudden light on her hand, Su Li was a little uneasy, and subconsciously wanted to snatch the child back, but saw Su Wanyan holding Chu Shen's ass with one hand and Chu Shen's back with the other hand and shaking it gently.
"Okay, okay, stop crying, it's okay."
Su Wanyan coaxed softly, and helped Chu Shen to follow his breath with great skill, and soon, Chu Shen quieted down.
She did this move smoothly, as if she had given birth to a child.
But if she is already a wife, how can Kutar let her come to Yuanshowa? Isn't this a clear attempt to embarrass people and cause trouble?
Just puzzled, Hu Wanyan looked at Su Liwen and explained with a smile: "I have a very good relationship with several sisters-in-law in the clan, and I have also helped them hold the child on weekdays. ”
Hu Wanyan said and handed Chu Shen back to Su Li: "The county lord might as well learn to hug it like I did." ”
Her tone was sincere, completely out of kindness, and no one could be disgusted at all.
Su Li took Chu Shen from the action she had just made, and Chu Shen really didn't cry anymore, only holding his fingers and looking at Su Li curiously with round and big eyes.
His eyes followed Chu Lingzhao, and when he looked at people ignorantly and innocently, he saw that people's hearts were soft.
Su Li smiled at him, and thought that Fang Wanyan didn't feel surprised or scared at all when he saw Chu Shen's appearance.
Doesn't she think that this child was born differently?
When Su Li saw this child for the first time, she was shocked.
Su Wanyan didn't notice anything wrong with her behavior at all, she stood beside Su Li, reached out and touched Chu Shen's chin and teased him.
"There is a very beautiful saying in our clan, born with a broken child, all of them have been kissed by the gods, and the blessings of the gods are too heavy for mortals to bear, so they are somewhat mutilated, but this mutilation will bring very good luck, and the luck of this child should be very good."
The Hu people have a lot of inbred unions and some indecent things, so the children born are mostly congenital deficiencies, if there are such children in the Hu royal family, it is naturally not so weird that Hu Wanyan can remain calm.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess said yes."
Su Li responded, but she knew very well in her heart that this child did not have any good luck, and the honor of his life had been cut off by his mother.
"By the way, why did Her Highness the Princess suddenly come here?"
Su Li asked casually, her eyes swept over the palace man who led the way, and the palace man hurriedly knelt down: "Please forgive the county lord!" Her Royal Highness the princess herself is coming over! ”
The Yunchen Palace has now become a cold palace, and ordinary palace people will take a detour, how could Hu Wanyan want to come here?
"I was visiting the Imperial Garden, and I suddenly heard an exclamation, and I followed the sound of curiosity for a while, but what are the taboos in this place, Yan'er shouldn't come here?"
Su Wanyan asked innocently, the explanation she gave was very reasonable, and everything she had just done did not cause any harm, but Su Li still felt that something was wrong.
"The princess doesn't have to think about it, there is no taboo here, it's just that something happened just now, so please ask the princess to leave here first, so as not to disturb the princess."
Su Li was euphemistically letting Hu Wanyan leave, and Hu Wanyan looked at the hall curiously, and bowed slightly at Su Li: "Thank you for the county lord's reminder, then Yan'er will leave first." ”
After finishing speaking, he walked away, and the palace people who led the way hurriedly got up and followed.
All the way out of the Yunchen Palace, the palace people breathed a sigh of relief, the breeze blew, and found that they were in a cold sweat, rolled up their sleeves and wiped them twice, and suddenly heard Her Royal Highness the princess who was walking in front asked softly: "Does the county lord live in the palace of Fangcai?" Is she holding her own child in her arms? ”
"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the county lord has his own county lord's mansion outside the palace, and she is holding His Royal Highness the prince in her arms." The palace people replied in a low voice, not wanting to dwell on this topic, but Hu Wanyan did not do what she wanted, and became more and more curious: "What about the prince's mother?" Why doesn't she care if the child cries like that? ”
"This ......"
The palace people hesitated, and their hearts were up and down, and they didn't dare to answer at all.
Hu Wanyan stopped and looked back at her with a smile, took a silver bracelet from his hand and put it in the hands of the palace people: "I'm just curious, just ask, I won't tell others." ”
Her voice is very gentle, and the whole person looks virtuous and harmless, the palace people took the bracelet, looked around, saw that there was no one left and right, and whispered in the ear of Hu Wanyan: "The prince's mother is Su Guifei who lives in the Weichen Palace, she was the most favored concubine in this palace, and then made a mistake, His Majesty exiled her mother's family, and also snubbed her, because the prince she gave birth to was born with a disease, and His Majesty did not care about His Royal Highness the prince." ”
"Your Majesty dotes on her like that, then she must have made a big mistake, right?"
Hu Wanyan said with wide eyes, like an ignorant girl, aroused by Mr. Storyteller.
This palace person is also a person who likes to discuss gossip behind his back, and when he was praised by Ku Wanyan, he forgot his previous scruples and continued: "This Su Guifei usually looks gentle and skillful, but in fact she is a ruthless person, the county lord is Su Guifei's own sister, it is said that Su Guifei took poison herself, and wanted to frame the county lord for a crime of murdering the emperor's heir, but she didn't expect that stealing chickens and rice would not result in the end." ”
The secrets of this palace are not allowed to be passed on, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and there are many people in the palace.
Suddenly, Wanyan lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was a little stunned: "That's the case." ”
"yes!" The palace people said excitedly, and did not pay attention to the change in Hu Wanyan's tone, and continued like pouring beans: "I don't know what this Su Guifei thinks, let go of His Majesty's favor, I have to get along with my sister, and now I have harmed myself and my family, but I pity the little prince." ”
"yes, that's pathetic."
Hu Wanyan agreed, lost the desire to listen, and walked forward, the palace people came back to their senses when they saw this, and hurriedly slapped themselves and followed: "Your Royal Highness Princess, let's go around somewhere else." ”
"I heard that you are the most filial piety, I didn't see your queen mother at the banquet last night, and when I entered the palace today, no one took me to see me, why is this?"
"This ......"
The corners of the palace man's lips twitched again, how could the questions asked by Her Royal Highness the princess be more tricky than the other?
"Is there a taboo that can't be said about things related to the Queen Mother?"
Hu Wanyan frowned, she was still wearing a veil, and she couldn't see the whole picture clearly, but Dai's eyebrows frowned, which also made people's hearts tight, and the palace people hurriedly replied: "No, no, it's just that the Queen Mother has suffered from the wind and cold recently, and she is unwell, so it is inconvenient to bother." ”
"Chilled? But very sick? Can I go check it out? Hu Wanyan asked, her tone was a little eager, and the palace people were asked to sweat profusely, and hurriedly knelt down: "Please Your Royal Highness the princess, don't embarrass the slave!" ”
You can't look at it.
Su Wanyan stood stunned for a moment, regained his initial peace, and stretched out his hand to help the palace people up: "I'm just afraid that it will be rude not to meet me, not to deliberately embarrass you, you don't have to be so afraid." ”
"Her Royal Highness Princess Xie is compassionate."
The palace people thanked him, and hurriedly lured Hu Wanyan back to the back garden, so as not to make any more trouble.
At the same time, Su Zhan took Yue Yan to the Yunchen Palace.
"Ah Li, what's wrong?"
"Just now, Su Wanyue went crazy and wanted to fall to death this child, you see if he is injured, I will go to Your Majesty."
Su Li said that she handed Chu Shen over to Yue Yan and was about to walk out of the door, but was pulled by Yue Yan: "What do you want to say to Your Majesty?" This child's fate has been decided, His Majesty has been busy with government affairs recently and has no time to take care of anything else, you go to talk about this now, what if you anger Long Yan? ”
Yue Yan was thinking about Su Li every word, and Su Li patted the back of her hand comfortingly: "I know how to deal with it, after all, it is a living human life, since he was born, I can't watch him die." ”
"Ah Li, his mother treated you like this......"
"The evil things were all done by his mother, he didn't know anything, his mother had been punished enough, not to mention ......" Su Li paused, lifted his eyes and looked at Yue Yan seriously: "In terms of blood relationship, I am his second aunt!" ”
“……”
Yue Yan was speechless and let go of Su Li to leave.
All the way to the imperial study, Chu Lingzhao was discussing with Zhao Hanzhuo and them, Su Li was quietly guarding outside, thinking that she would have to wait for a long time, but after a while, the palace people came to invite her: "County Lord, Your Majesty invites you in." ”
stepped in, Zhao Hanzhuo, Gu Yuanfeng, and Lu Ji were all there, only Chu Huai'an was left.
"Courtiers meet Your Majesty!" Su Li knelt down and saluted.
"Excuse me!" Chu Lingzhao spoke: "I am discussing the life and death situation in three days with a few Aiqing, Ah Li has come just in time, you might as well tell me your opinion on this matter." ”
"Hou Ye's martial arts are not as good as Lu Gongzi, Lord Zhao and Master Gu are not people who practice martial arts, and the courtiers are even more powerless, only the general can match them, so naturally the general will take the lead."
Su Li said calmly, there is nothing controversial about this, Chu Lingzhao raised his hand and handed a fold to Su Li: "This is the competition list sent by Kutar, what does Ah Li think?" ”
Su Li didn't take the fold, and replied calmly: "The courtiers don't know these Hu warriors, even if they know their names, they don't know which is higher or lower. ”
Chu Lingzhao nodded: "I feel the same way when I see this excerpt, Ah Li can have a way to test these people before the competition?" ”
Su Li: "......"
Your Majesty, do you know what you're saying to a weak woman who has no hands on her hands?
