Li Yunshen smiled lightly and said: "Lord Jiang doesn't need to worry too much, among the six guards guarding Gyeonggi, there is naturally no shortage of loyal and brave soldiers, and with just an order, you can enter the palace at any time to guard your majesty's side, fight against rebellion, and protect the peace of the palace." It's just that at this time, all parties have not been triggered, and if we make a big move, we are afraid that we will give people a handle or lead the wolf into the house in chaos. Moreover, His Majesty has just woken up, and it will not be long before he recovers. In the next few days, the safety of Weiyang Palace will depend on Lord Jiang. ”

When Jiang Yuanyou heard that the empress had woken up, he suddenly had hope, and said with a fist: "Your Majesty and Your Royal Highness Concubine Yun will never forget the grace of Your Majesty and Your Royal Highness, and you are always willing to serve Your Majesty and Your Highness!" ”

This time, Li Yunshen's smile didn't last long, he nodded, "Lord Jiang has a heart, which is admirable. After His Majesty recovers, the palace will definitely give His Majesty the credit of Lord Jiang. ”

At this moment, in the Yishen Temple, except for Zuo Ying, who was still unconscious, there were only two people, Scarlet Feather and Ashina Wuji, and the other palace maids could only wait outside the door.

Under Li Yunshen's arrangement, the Weiyang Palace strictly restricted entry and exit, and it was strictly forbidden to leak the news of the empress's illness, so the ministers of the DPRK and China had not yet come to visit the hospital to inquire. Because once the news spreads widely, all kinds of speculations and schemes will rise, and if the empress is in a coma for another three or two days, it will be enough for these excuses to play and take advantage of the situation to brew into a general climate, and the situation is likely to get out of control at that time.

"Hmph, I said it all, that woman is a witch! It's a villain who sells for glory! But your empress prefers her as a treasure, and keeps her by her side. You see, it's like this now. Ashina sat on the edge of Zuo Ying's bed indefinitely. Looking at her face that still didn't move her eyelids, I was very unhappy.

Scarlet Feather wiped away Zuo Ying's sweat with a soft cloth, and said, "Actually, after discovering that the book "Little Dai Li Ji" was smeared with venom. His Majesty already knew that this person had bad intentions, so he insisted on digging into her past and finally uncovered her plot to pretend to be the princess. ”

"What?! She actually smeared venom in that broken book?! Ashina frowned indefinitely. Round, surprised eyes.

"Your Highness, do you remember the day Your Majesty drank with the two Highnesses in Qingquan Palace?" Scarlet Feather stopped and said: "That day, the silver cups of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Imperial Husband all changed color, and only the silver cups of His Royal Highness Concubine Yun were shiny as before, and it was the outer edge of the cup that changed color, so His Majesty guessed that the poison was stained on the hands of the two of them through something that only His Majesty and His Royal Highness had touched, and then smeared on the wall of the silver cup with the spilled wine pulp in the process of drinking." ”

The pronoun of this sentence is a bit complicated, and Ashina digested it indefinitely. "yes, just the two of us going through that broken book right now!"

Scarlet Feather nodded, "It is precisely because of this that Your Majesty suspects that the book is poisonous. I took it back to the palace at night and checked it secretly, and sure enough, it was so. ”

"Smearing poison in the book. This witch is going to kill me?! ”

According to the custom of the Turkic people, they often grabbed food with their bare hands when eating, and if the poison remained on their hands, it was easy to be poisoned. Ashina thinks about it now, and has to be glad that when he drank that day, Li Yunshen served a side dish with wine, rather than a big fish and meat to be grabbed by hand.

He thought about it for a moment, then frowned again: "That's not right! It's not me who wants to hurt her, it's my brother Wang! He didn't forget that he wasn't the one the book was supposed to be given to him.

Scarlet Feather nodded again, "That." His Majesty also thought of it. If she wants to harm His Royal Highness, it can be understood that she has always been at odds with His Royal Highness, so she must remove the threat of His Royal Highness; But what she wants to do is the prince of the world......" Saying this, Scarlet Feather lowered her voice, "I heard that the prince treats her very kindly, if it is also in her scheme." Then there is only the possibility of murder. His Majesty guessed that the prince knew a lot about her past, and might even know her true identity, and she was worried that after returning to the Central Plains, her identity would be revealed from the mouth of the prince, so she would use this method to cause harm. ”

Ashina was furious. If this witch is still reasonable, it is not too surprising that the two of them want to die; But what she wants is actually Brother Wang, who is dedicated to her as a master and apprentice and loves her! She impressed him with the "Little Dai Li Ji" that Brother Wang had always wanted to get, and asked him to promise to take her with him, but she also used this book to harm him and kill him! That's madness, and the anger of people and gods!

"Your Highness, take a look." At this time, Scarlet Feather lifted one of the sleeves of Zuo Ying's shirt and looked at it carefully by the light, "The ecchymosis on Your Majesty's arm has disappeared." ”

Ashina put away her anger indefinitely, turned her head to look, and sure enough, she saw that the deep and shallow bruises on her arms had disappeared.

At this time, the palace maid waiting at the door whispered: "Her Royal Highness Concubine Yun has arrived-" Then Li Yunshen strode in from outside the door alone and came to Zuo Ying's bedside.

Ashina reached out again and touched Zuo Ying's neck with the back of his hand, "The fever seems to have subsided, which is a sign that it is improving." ”

Scarlet Feather said happily, "Great. But why hasn't His Majesty woken up yet? ”

"In the past, I have seen the witch doctors in the army have cured this kind of poison to many brothers," Ashina said indefinitely, "If the medicine can be as timely as this time, it will usually wake up within two hours." But five or six hours had passed, and he still hadn't woken up...... Maybe it's because of her weak constitution. ”

Li Yunshen looked at Zuo Ying's quiet face, there was not much optimism in his heart, but the smile on his face was like a spring breeze, "Your Royal Highness, you have been here for half the night, and you are tired, please go and rest for a while, and leave it to the palace in the second half of the night." ”

Ashina Wuji was originally unwilling to do this kind of stuffy thing in a room for most of the day to take care of the patient, but after hearing this guy who had stored a good wine say that there was a curfew here at night, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, if he walked away, he was worried that something would happen to this little empress, and all his efforts would be in vain, so he had to be patient until now.

Now that Zuo Ying's situation has improved, this guy who has stored good wine has made his laziness very legitimate, so he stretched his waist and went to the bed in the inner hall to rest.

"Scarlet Feather, you should also take a rest." Li Yunshen smiled at Scarlet Feather again: "You have worked hard for a day, just have this palace here." ”

Scarlet Feather didn't distrust Li Yunshen at this time, although he didn't have much time to stay in front of the hospital bed, but he was planning everywhere, blocking unfavorable news, and guarding the safety of Weiyang Palace, which was obvious to all. He just didn't feel relieved when he didn't see Zuo Ying wake up.

"Your Highness Xie cares." Scarlet Feather bowed his head and said: "But Scarlet Feather is not tired, Scarlet Feather is willing to continue to take care of Your Majesty here." ”

Li Yunshen sat down and silently watched Scarlet Feather cover Zuo Ying with the quilt for a while, and touched her head for a while.

From the first time they met, he could tell from the slightly sad look in Scarlet Feather's eyes when he looked at him that Scarlet Feather was a little jealous of him, even Scarlet Feather himself might not be aware of it; That night, he stole into the Yishen Temple and was injured by Scarlet Feather, although it was only a minor injury, but it was inevitable that it would be a mustard in the hearts of both parties.

It's not a good thing to get married to someone close to Your Majesty, especially when the object is a person with a special status and status like Scarlet Feather. Fortunately, he Li Yunshen has a way to break the barrier and shorten the distance.

After being silent for a moment, he smiled and said, "Scarlet Feather, this palace really envies you sometimes. ”

"Why did Your Highness say this? His Royal Highness broke the scarlet feather. Scarlet Feather was stunned for a moment.

Li Yunshen deliberately sold Guan Zi for a while, and then said: "You are the closest and most trusted person to Your Majesty, no matter what happens to her, she always thinks of you first." ”

Scarlet Feather looked at Li Yunshen in surprise.

Li Yun smiled meaningfully, "After returning from Yuanqiu that time, Your Majesty fell ill and recuperated in Qingquan Palace for a few days. The first thing she says every time she wakes up is 'Yu'er', always forgetting that you weren't with her at that time. ”

When Scarlet Feather heard this, his heart palpitated, followed by an unconcealable joy, which made him lower his head. But this burst of euphoria was followed by a deep sense of guilt. His Majesty is good to others, but his heart is not a taste; His Majesty is good to him, and he cannot simply be happy. He knew very well that the situation that had already laid the groundwork today had made him fall into such a quagmire and it was difficult to extricate himself.

"Scarlet Feather," Li Yunshen deliberately pretended not to see the conflict in Scarlet Feather's heart, "If you are also willing, after Your Majesty recovers, this palace can propose to Your Majesty to canonize you as a concubine." I believe that this is what His Majesty has always hoped for. ”

Scarlet Feather raised her head suddenly, her slender eyelashes trembling slightly in fright, "No, Your Highness." His Royal Highness's good intentions are fulfilled, and the scarlet feathers are unforgettable. But Scarlet Feather is a lowly person, how dare he have the slightest illusion of a high position? Scarlet Feather only wants to be able to guard His Majesty's side for the rest of his life, as a slave and a horse, he is already satisfied, and there is nothing else to ask for. I also ask Your Highness not to mention tonight's conversation to others, so as not to cause misunderstanding among others. ”

Li Yun nodded with a shallow smile, "Since you have such intentions, this palace is not easy to force." If you change your mind in the future, you can always come to Hongu to discuss. Although Hongu loves His Majesty deeply, he is by no means a small person who cannot work with others. If you are willing to be a concubine, this palace will only be glad that Your Majesty has one more person like you who is loyal and unreserved to her to take care of and love. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Scarlet Feather Thanks. ”

I don't know why, Scarlet Feather suddenly felt that the words "loyalty" and "unreserved" were particularly heavy, which made him suddenly feel breathless. He looked at Zuo Ying's sleeping face, and really wished that he was unconscious now, if he could really do that, maybe everything would be solved.
