The next day, around Chenzheng, Zeng Rong carried the food box into Cining Palace, the Queen Mother's Feng Yuan was placed at the gate, Aunt Yuan was directing several palace maids and eunuchs to move things out, and when she saw Zeng Rong, Aunt Yuan hurriedly ordered her to send the medicine to Zhu Heng first.

Zeng Rong entered the apse directly, this time, there was no one guarding under the back porch, and there was no one waiting under the porch of the upper room in the backyard, Zeng Rong came to the door of the upper room, and when he was about to knock on the door, Amei came out and said that Zhu Heng was waiting for her.

Zeng Rong followed Ah Mei into the east room, Zhu Heng was already dressed, Zeng Rong saw that he was wearing a new dark green makeup cloud brocade jacket, wearing a black jade purple and gold crown, guessing that he was going to go out too, most likely to accompany the Queen Mother to incense.

It's Zhu Heng, seeing that Zeng Rong is still yesterday's female official clothes, although her hair is not the previous horn, but she simply put her hair down and tied it with a few ribbons, she is still plain faced, and there is nothing else on her body except a purse, it doesn't look like she wants to go out.

“。。。”

"Let's drink the medicine first, it's getting cold."

The two spoke almost at the same time, but Zhu Heng was already slow to speak, and seeing that Zeng Rong also spoke, he simply asked Zeng Rong to finish his words first.

After Zeng Rong finished speaking, he opened the food box and served the medicine, and asked Zhu Heng what the unfinished words were.

"It's okay, let's take medicine first." Zhu Heng's face turned slightly red.

In order to avoid being seen, he hurriedly reached out and took the medicine bowl in Zeng Rong's hand, raised his head and drank the medicine in one go, and Amei on the side brought the tea that had been prepared long ago to rinse Zhu Heng's mouth.

Zhu Heng rejected her and said, "Go to the high table in the opposite room and bring the small porcelain jar over." ”

"I'll go, I know where to put it." Zeng Rong hurriedly turned around and went out.

She didn't pay attention to Zhu Heng's discomfort, but she was worried that Ah Mei would be unhappy, and she was also worried that their sisterhood would fall apart because of Zhu Heng, although she really had no intention of intervening between her and Zhu Heng, but she couldn't disobey your fate.

For this reason, all she can do is to try to get rid of herself and try to leave the opportunity to get close to him to Ame.

For example, last night, she and Du Juan came to deliver medicine, because it was late, she didn't come to see Zhu Heng, nor did she see the Queen Mother, but asked the palace maid at the door to call Amei out, she gave the medicine to Amei, and also relayed the emperor's message to Amei to the Queen Mother early the next morning, in order not to alarm Zhu Heng.

But looking at Zhu Heng's outfit today, Zeng Rong understood that he had wasted his efforts, and he still couldn't escape the Queen Mother's arrangement.

Zhu Heng looked at Zeng Rong's back as he left in a panic, his eyes flashed, and he said to Amei: "Go to the dining room and order them to send three bowls of shredded chicken noodles in a quarter of an hour." ”

When Amei heard this, she bit her lip, put down the teacup in her hand, curtsied, and turned to leave.

Subsequently, Zhu Heng sent the two eunuchs who were cleaning up the house for him in the back room to wait under the porch at the door, and then, he shook his wheelchair through the hall and entered the west study, where Zeng Rong was lying on the desk admiring the handwriting he wrote last night.

After Zeng Rong left yesterday afternoon, he waited for almost two hours, and finally waited for the decoction sent by Zeng Rong, but he didn't see her in person, Zhu Heng guessed something Zeng Rong was avoiding, thinking of his life experience and what happened these days, his thoughts were boiling, he didn't feel sleepy, and he wrote down Su Shi's poem "Jiangchengzi. Ten years of life and death.

Although this poem was written by Su Shi to mourn his deceased wife Wang Fu, the true feelings in the poem are incomparably in line with his nostalgia for his mother and his current state of mind, especially the first few sentences, "Ten years of life and death are boundless, without thinking, unforgettable." Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation. ”

His mother has also been gone for 12 years, and although his memory of his mother is very vague, what happened to him after his mother left reminds him all the time how he has been "desolate with nowhere to talk" without his mother's protection.

Zeng Rong saw that the pen movement of this character was like flowing water, obviously in one go, and guessed that Zhu Hengzhun was unable to resolve the grief and anger in his heart because he missed his mother, so he wrote this poem, and this is only the tip of the iceberg that Zeng Rong saw, such a time must be accustomed to him.

No wonder Imperial Physician Lu said that his liver was depressed and stagnant, and he avoided medical treatment, no wonder the Queen Mother said that he was depressed and had nothing to do, it seems that Zeng Rong still underestimated his difficulties and overestimated his self-healing ability.

"Didn't you stay up late last night?" Zeng Rong saw Zhu Heng coming, and couldn't help but look at his face and asked with concern.

Because she remembered that Amei had told her yesterday that he had barely slept the night before.

"No, it took less than half an hour for this painting, and I just finished taking the medicine, so I can't sleep immediately." Zhu Heng explained decently.

As soon as Zeng Rong heard the medicine, he remembered the candied fruit in his hand, "I'm sorry, when I saw this picture, I forgot about it." ”

"It's okay, it's not bitter, and you like this song too?" Zhu Heng's eyes lit up, and he faintly smiled again.

"This poem is too sad, I prefer his Dingfeng Bo, 'Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly, bamboo canes and shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Ping's life. Zeng Rong intended to persuade the other party, so he chose this poem.

Zhu Heng read out the next que for her, "The spring breeze blows the wine and wakes up, it is slightly cold, and the mountain is obliquely shining but welcomes." Looking back at the bleak place, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine. ”

After reading it, he smiled, "It's really much more heroic, it's a strange thing to say, in terms of age, a few years younger than me, but it seems that every time we meet, it's to persuade me, it's really ashamed." ”

At this time, he already understood the intention of Zeng Rong's recitation.

"It's very simple, because I have also experienced death, my mother died in childbirth when I was six years old because of giving birth to my sister, and within two years, my father also married my stepmother." Zeng Rong didn't say the next words, she was not for the sympathy of the other party, but to enlighten him.

"I see, it turns out that our minds are the same." Zhu Heng looked at Zeng Rong's gaze and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Well, I'm going to call Sister Amei, it's time for us to go out, right?" Zeng Rong was frightened by the other party's sentence "The mind is the same", and he was also alert, and hurriedly excused himself to find Amei to go out.

"She's not here, I ordered her to go to the dining room, she just took medicine, and she can't have an empty stomach for too long." Zhu Heng stopped her.

Zeng Rong nodded, "That's right, I almost forgot." ”

After speaking, Zeng Rong remembered one thing in hindsight, Zhu Heng not only understood that he could not lie down to sleep immediately after taking medicine, but also understood that it was not advisable to empty for a long time after taking medicine, which showed that he did not understand Yu Yangsheng.

It can be seen that he is only afraid of his illness and knows it well, no wonder Imperial Doctor Lu will say that he is a doctor who is a doctor of illness, and no wonder the Queen Mother will say to her that he is not a doctor of illness, but that he has nothing to do.

Thinking of the situation when she came to persuade him to drink medicine yesterday afternoon, Zeng Rong had to admit that it seemed that he really regarded her as his salvation.

How good is that?
