Chapter 31: Master Descends the Mountain (2)
Finally dispersed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew from the Chengqian Hall one after another.
Xia Rui was the last to come out, and Hua Tianruo kept pulling him and didn't let him in.
When everyone was gone, Xia Rui shook Hua Tianruo's hand fiercely, with a dark face, and asked in a deep voice: "Tianruo, what did you keep pulling Gu just now?" ”
Hua Tianruo knew that Xia Rui was very angry now, but she didn't feel that she was wrong, and she couldn't help but feel aggrieved and sad, she frowned and explained:
"Brother Tianrui, it's very dangerous inside now, you have also seen it, all the palace people who are serving the emperor in the inner hall are infected, and this disease is not recognized. If you go, there is also a great risk of getting infected! Since the emperor has entrusted you with political affairs, then you have to be responsible for the people of the world, so for the sake of the people of the world, you really can't go in! ”
At this, she couldn't help but slow down her tone, and then, continued,
"If you know...... You are very worried about the crown princess, but she went in willingly, and we didn't force her to go, and in that situation, if she didn't go, Concubine Yu would force you to go, and someone had to come out to bear the matter, which was a helpless thing...... Besides, the crown princess, she just went in to assist the queen in serving the emperor, and there are still a lot of palace people in the inner hall, so she may not have anything to do, so don't worry too much......"
She didn't mention that Yun Xiao went voluntarily, this stubble was okay, but when she mentioned this stubble, Xia Rui became angry.
He frowned tightly and said in an accentuated tone:
"That's right, the queen and the jade concubine hope that Gu will also be infected by her father, and the crown princess is worried about Gu's safety, so she will go voluntarily, but is it because she went voluntarily, should Gu leave her alone?! Their Gao sisters didn't dare to serve their father and emperor in close proximity, so they couldn't wait for the people around them to be lonely and lonely, all of them were recruited, and who of the people who came here today didn't know that their Gao sisters were just acting? ! But, Tilt Ruo, are you also like the Gao family sisters, hoping that the crown princess will be infected by her father?! ”
Hope, of course she hopes, how could she not want?! It's best that Yun Xiao is also like those palace people, who were infected by the emperor and then died.
In her flowery life, there should not have been a woman named "Yun Xiao", and she was even more reluctant to watch the Tianrui brother she admired the most since she was a child, and she only had Yun Xiao in her heart and eyes.
However, just like King Xuan once comforted her, love is a mutual attraction between two people, Xia Rui deeply attracted her, but she failed to deeply attract Xia Rui, for a long time, it may not work.
Of course, at this moment, she can't express any of these thoughts.
Hua Tingruo lowered her eyelashes slightly, and replied in a low voice: "If you don't have it...... Tilt Ruo had never thought of it that way...... Tilting ...... Tilt Ruo is just worried about Brother Tianrui's safety! I'm just worried about you like you're worried about the princess......"
As she spoke, she began to cry.
But...... She shed tears, not because she was questioned like this by Xia Rui today and felt sad, but because she was so affectionate since she was a child that she was so ignored by Xia Rui, and she felt extremely wronged for herself.
It turns out that even if they grow up together, they can't withstand the passion of a man.
Seeing this, Xia Rui also felt that what he said just now was too urgent, but he couldn't take it back when he said it, and he couldn't help but be very embarrassed.
He was a little at a loss, and for a while, he didn't know what to say next.
At this moment, Hua Tianruo suddenly took a step back, and then, raised her head, looked at Xia Rui, and said while crying:
"Brother Tianrui, you have never been so fierce to Tianruo...... You've never been so disbelieving...... Brother Tianrui, why did you treat Tianruo like this, and what did Tianruo do wrong? Isn't it right to care about you? Brother Tianrui, since you married someone from the Yun family, you can only see her in your eyes, so what about Tilt? What is Tilt? Don't...... The love that we grew up together since childhood, all of them are not counted? How can you ...... like that?"
After saying this, she didn't look at Xia Rui anymore, turned around, and left the Chengqian Hall without looking back.
"Poured into ......"
Xia Rui shouted, seeing that she was walking fast, he couldn't help but stop angrily, he looked towards the inner hall again, and he didn't see Yun Xiao come out for a long time, so he knew that it must be the queen and the jade concubine who deliberately didn't let her out, but I was afraid that tonight, Yun Xiao couldn't go back to the East Palace, he couldn't help but shake his head, and also left the Chengqian Palace.
--------------------
At this moment, in the inner hall of the Chengqian Palace, Yun Xiao finally met the emperor after following the queen and the jade concubine in.
The emperor probably fell asleep, lying flat on the bed, breathing very steadily.
After Concubine Yu came in, she helped the queen to sit down on the chair beside her, and then sat down on the chair next to the queen.
Yun Xiao raised his eyes and saw that the location of the two of them now was at least five feet away from the emperor's bed, and there were still several palace people in this dormitory.
No wonder during this time, the people who were infected were all palace people, and the two of them, although they had been serving the emperor here, had nothing to do.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao couldn't help but smile secretly: In this court, the love between husband and wife is like child's play. Who is in the highest position and doesn't want to live longer?! Speaking of which, everyone is the same, no one is really not greedy for life, and no one is really not afraid of death.
Here, Concubine Yu was a little unhappy when she saw that Yun Xiao had come in and had been standing on the side without moving, so she turned her head to look at her maid Lu Shui and asked:
"Green water, the emperor's medicine, is it boiled?"
Lu Shui knew the Jade Concubine's mind best, and hurriedly pointed to his side and replied:
"Niangniang, it's been boiled, it's been on the stove, simmering over low heat, and when the emperor wakes up, you can take it directly."
Concubine Yu nodded with great satisfaction, nodded the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and said, "Good job, you keep an eye on the stove carefully, there can't be any mistakes." ”
"Yes." Lu Shui replied, and then asked, "Niangniang, now that the crown princess has come in, will the slave and maid immediately teach the crown princess the method of serving the emperor in the palace, so that she can better serve the emperor and take medicine later?" ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, his eyes swept the green water coldly.
What kind of master there is, what kind of slave there is.
This green water followed Concubine Yu's side, but she learned all the hypocrisy and insidiousness of Concubine Yu, and also mastered the essence of it, and she didn't let it go at all.
On the other side, when Concubine Yu heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief very lazily and said:
"These days, this palace accompanies my sister to serve the emperor together, and I am tired and confused, fortunately, you reminded me in time, otherwise, when the emperor wakes up later, he needs to take a decoction, and the princess must be in a hurry."
Speaking of this, she turned her head to glance at the queen again, and saw that the queen was holding her forehead and pretending to sleep, obviously very tired, so she continued to order the green water,
"Then, now, you are here, carefully teach the crown princess, how to serve the emperor to take medicine, and the palace will help the queen to rest in the side hall first, you must cheer up!"
"Yes, slave and maid obey."
Concubine Yu was very satisfied with Lu Shui's performance, the master and servant cooperated perfectly, she nodded at Lu Shui, and helped the queen to the side hall.
Concubine Yu would not put Yun Xiao in her eyes at all, Lu Shui said that she would teach Yun Xiao, she knew that Yun Xiao was the master and Lu Shui was the servant, but she still indulged Lu Shui's respect and inferiority, and really let Lu Shui "teach" Yun Xiao.
Although Yun Xiao felt uncomfortable, he didn't show it on the bright side, and the green water babbled in the inner hall, and Yun Xiao stood aside and listened quietly, neither asking nor bothering to answer.
Because, Yun Xiao knows that it is impossible for Lushui to teach himself important things now. The queen and the jade concubine were hoping that they would be infected by the emperor, and then, Xia Rui would come to this inner hall to serve the emperor to take medicine.
However, who wouldn't wait for the sick to drink medicine?
Where does she need a slave to teach?!
So now, Yun Xiao only needs to wait in this inner hall, and when the emperor wakes up, she will be able to approach the emperor logically, and at that time, everything will be clear.
Time passed little by little, and after the queen and the jade concubine went out, they never came back.
And after Lu Shui "finished" Yun Xiao, she also closed her noisy mouth, and the inner sanctum was extremely quiet.
It was about the beginning of the day (equivalent to nine o'clock in the evening now), and the emperor finally woke up.
So, the palace people in the inner sanctum began to get busy.
Yun Xiao came to the emperor's bedside, blessed the emperor, bowed down and said, "The concubine sees the emperor's father's ......"
When the emperor saw Yun Xiao, he was very surprised: "Crown princess, why are you here?" ”
Yun Xiao hurriedly replied: "The concubine was ordered by the queen mother to come to serve her father and take medicine. ”
When the emperor heard this, he said, "Oh", but his face was obviously gloomy, probably dissatisfied with the queen's approach, but his physical strength was exhausted, and now he just wanted to call the queen in to say a meal, but he couldn't do it.
Seeing this, the palace people thought that the emperor was going to get up, so they hurried over, helped the emperor to sit up, and stuffed two pillows behind the emperor.
Yun Xiao sat down on the stool next to the bed, and then, taking the medicine bowl from the hands of the palace people, and tested the temperature on the side of the bowl with his hand, the temperature of the medicine was now just enough to eat, so he scooped a spoonful and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor didn't drink for a long time, he shook his head at Yun Xiao, and said, "Crown princess, you ......"
"Father, the emperor's ......" Yun Xiao knew that the emperor was afraid that she would be infected, but if she didn't go through it like this in person, she would have no way to prove her guess in her heart, so she could only boldly interrupt the emperor's words, "Father, before the concubine came, I had asked the imperial doctor in detail what to pay attention to, you can rest assured, the concubine will be fine, the medicine is about to cool, you should take the medicine quickly!" ”
