Section 27 Knowing that it was so stumbling (2)

Wei Nanyan never thought that not only Xue Huan could not come to see her, but when Li Yao finally allowed her to run to the Inner Chamberlain Province to meet him, she was only faced with the calm young man sitting on the chair in the torture room. It was a relatively clean torture chamber, with a stack of dried Korean paper thrown on the floor, and a corked bottle of wine resting next to it, and the smell of inferior wine was scattered in the room, and there was no blood here, and no other torture instruments were in sight. Xue Huan's face was not a trace of injury, his clothes were only a little more wrinkled, he sat there, his hands and feet were naturally placed, there was no trace of struggle, as if he was tired and closed his eyes to rest for a while, as if he was ready to get up and go to see someone at any time. Wei Nanyan suddenly felt a burst of cold around her, bursts of cold air invaded her, she thought about many possibilities, maybe he would break his leg, maybe he would be covered in blood, maybe he was unconscious, but she never thought that he was dead, she never thought that she would suddenly lose Xue Huan like this, and she lost this Ruoyuan for many years. However, at this moment, she suddenly found that how many years have passed, she has not forgotten her, the best days in her heart, the time in Weifu, the time when she sat on the wall and waited for Xue Huan to come back, at this moment, she was finally lost forever and ever, he would never wake up again, he would never bow his head to her shyly again, never check her pulse again, and never look at himself carefully and affectionately with those beautiful eyes-

Xue Huan...... Hongu, Hongu has come to see you-"

Wei Nanyan's trembling hand was just about to touch Xue Huan's shoulder, but the inner chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said respectfully: "Niangniang, Xue is dead, this corpse is really unlucky, Niangniang is such a noble person, don't be contaminated with bad luck!"

"Bastard! Who said he was a prisoner? Who said he was dead!" Wei Nanyan stretched out his hand and slapped the man's face, "You dog slaves, you, you dare to use such cruel punishment on him! Your Majesty has not yet said that he is guilty, you dare to harm him! You think that this palace is grounded and has fallen out of favor, so you dare to do such a hand to him, do you know that he is from this palaceβ€”β€”"

"Niangniang!" Si Qingtong fell to her knees and hugged Wei Nanyan, she shook her head with red eyes, and cried: "Niangniang, Imperial Doctor Xue is no longer here...... He definitely didn't want to see you at this moment...... Niangniang, this is not the time to say these words, think about yourself, think about yourself!"

"Yes, Miss Siqing is right. Shugui Concubine Niangniang, Xue Cheng had already confessed his guilt, admitting that he was discovered by the queen because he coveted the beauty of the queen's mother, and then he was embarrassed for a while, so he moved his hands and feet in the incense burner of Yongyang Palace, causing the queen to be poisoned and the emperor's heir to be insecure. His Majesty was merciful, and only gave him one capital crime, which did not affect the Xue family, which is already a great mercy. This matter originally had nothing to do with Shugui Concubine Niangniang, and in the confession of Xue Criminal, there was no mention of Niangniang and the Wei family, and Niangniang had returned to Luoyang Hall safely earlier, and now you have to come here, why bother. ”

"If he really has such a big crime, since he is an official of the Imperial Hospital, how can His Majesty not hand it over to the Criminal Department for trial, how can you kill people in this inner palace!"

Niangniang laughed, in this palace, killing the imperial doctor privately, the minions don't have such courage. Besides, the reason for such poisoning involves the inner palace, how can it be handed over to the criminal department known to the whole worldβ€”β€”" The inner chamberlain walked to Wei Nanyan's side lightly and said in a low voice: "Shugui Concubine Niangniang, Your Majesty is still waiting for you to reply in the Zichen Palace, you have also seen the situation here, the inner chamber is not a good place, it is very unlucky! Niangniang, you better leave as soon as possible." ”

Wei Nanyan froze slightly, then raised his head and asked, "So, what are you going to do...... What to do with him?"

"This ......" The inner attendant bowed his head slightly, and said peacefully: "Naturally, it will be handled according to the rules." ”

Since most of the inner chamberlains interrogate and punish people from the inner palace, the general way to dispose of the corpse is to send it outside the palace to be burned in a centralized manner, even if there is a special merciful person who says "give a whole corpse", but it is only to leave the objects on that person and hand them over to the family and relatives, that's all. Although Wei Nanyan was sad in her heart, she also knew that she had no ability to do anything at this moment, and to stay for a moment more was to give herself more suspicion, to the Wei family and the Mo family, she was silent for a moment, although she was struggling and painful in her heart, but finally slowly removed a gold-wrapped bracelet from her wrist and put it on the hand of the inner supervisor: "Father-in-law, the parents of the Xue family are friendly with the mother's family of the palace, Xue ...... Xue is the only son of the Xue family, and the palace wants to take something from him, which can be regarded as leaving a little thought for the old parents of the Xue family, and ask the father-in-law to make it convenient. ”

Si Qing saw that Wei Nanyan actually took down the gold-wrapped jade bracelet that she cherished and was given to her for the first time by Li Yao, and was shocked for a while, and saw that the inner eunuch had accepted the bracelet, and then retreated with the two little eunuchs, and when he walked to the door, he said: "Niangniang, the minions are waiting for you outside the door, and please hurry up." ”

"Okay, Hongu knows. ”

Wei Nanyan slowly walked in front of Xue Huan's corpse, she gently touched his hands, those cold and clean hands, the hands that used to take her pulse, grab medicine for her, and perform needles for her, I still remember the back when he said "I don't accept" - but it's all gone, nothing is gone. Wei Nanyan didn't want to and didn't dare to know why he did this, she was so afraid that he was for herself, for the words she had once said, he who had always followed the rules dared to do such a thing, such a stupid, reckless and stupid way - Wei Nanyan's tears slowly fell silently, hot dripping on the placket, dripping on Xue Huan's cold hands, she suddenly felt that she didn't care, maybe it was from the moment she just took off the bracelet, Maybe it was from the moment she was dragged down from Guanghua Palace, or maybe it was a long time ago, she didn't care about many things anymore, but she still didn't know it, but at this moment she finally clearly understood that all this she couldn't ask for in her heart was never worth it.

Wei Nanyan reached into Xue Huan's sleeve, slowly touched the wide edge of the cuff, touched it inch by inch, and then finally stopped somewhere, pulled out a long hairpin on his head, poked it into the wide edge with a sharp tip, carefully picked out the stitched needle and thread, poured out some extremely small beads from it, and carefully held it in the palm of his hand.

Si Qing on the side hurriedly took out a handkerchief and held it over, wrapped the beads, and asked, "Niangniang, what is this?"

"Incense beads. Sewn on the cuffs, there is a faint fragrance when you raise your hand, which is what the palace told him when he was in the palace. ”

Si Qing was obviously a little surprised: "Isn't this a woman's preference?

"I asked him to sew it. Wei Nanyan showed a sad smile: "At that time, I told him, you want to be a doctor, when you see a noble person in the palace, when you look up, there is some fragrance on the sleeve, doesn't it make the patient feel better, better than those old-fashioned old doctors, frowning when you see people, but it makes the patient's mood worse by three points." ”

"Imperial Doctor Xue really listens to your ...... everything"

"At that time, I was just an arrogant lady, he was just a decoction boy, and he was willing to listen to me...... Now that I am a concubine and he is a physician, he will not listen to me. He did such a stupid thing for me, lost his life, and didn't leave a trace of blood for the Xue family, I, I'm sorry for him......"

"Niangniang, Imperial Doctor Xue is no longer here, he did this, even if it was for you, but now he has hurt you!" Si Qing shook his head, glanced at Xue Huan again, wiped the corners of his eyes, and then helped Wei Nanyan: "Niangniang, let's go, Zichen Palace...... Still waiting for you. ”

Wei Nanyan didn't speak, she turned around, bowed deeply to Xue Huan, and when she looked up again, there was no half of tears on her face, she raised her chin, stroked a string of beaded flowers on the placket, touched the scar on her forehead that had just healed, and said calmly: "Let's go, although he is gone, the road to the palace is still very long." ”
