In the middle of the night, Xiong Yan woke up slowly, opened his eyes and saw the smiling face of the queen he was thinking about, and couldn't help but smile slightly, but he pulled the chapped lips caused by lack of water, wrinkled his face, his eyes were dark, his consciousness was hazy, he thought he was still yesterday, and said in a low voice: "Queen, I dare not sleep!" ”

Wu Yunzhao was about to say the prepared words, when he heard Xiong Yan's words "dare not sleep", he was slightly stunned, looked down and saw him staring in a daze, and then he understood, and said in his heart: "Silly boy, this is sleeping!" Holding Xiong Yan's hand, he said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." ”

Xiong Yan opened his eyes again and looked at Wu Yunzhao, his eyes were straight and stunned, like a puppy that had just opened his eyes, he didn't know what the world was, there was fear, confusion, and confusion.

Wu Yunzhao couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Your Majesty, you have slept for more than a day and a night, and this is the next day." You see. His fingers shook in front of Xiong Yan's eyes, guiding his gaze to the palace lantern that emitted soft light in the room, and continued: "It's already night!" ”

Xiong Yan blinked, stared at the palace lamp, and said "En".

Wu Yunzhao felt that Xiong Yan was holding his hand, getting harder and harder, understanding that he had palpitations, and comforted: "Your Majesty, you look at the concubine first, don't think about anything, listen to what the concubine tells you, okay?" ”

Xiong Yan nodded slightly.

Wu Yunzhao said in his heart: "This is the feeling of coaxing my son." Calm down, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the concubine will tell you first, there is a way to cure your illness, and your life is worry-free." ”

Xiong Yan was excited when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "Really? "I wanted to get up, but I felt that my limbs were weak, my bones were empty, and I was afraid to regenerate.

Wu Yunzhao said: "Don't worry, don't worry, how dare the concubine deceive Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want to lose her head." "Pat Xiong Yan's chest and ask him to be calm.

Xiong Yan took a few deep breaths, adjusted his breathing, and said, "I'm not going to want your head, I'm reluctant." ”

Wu Yunzhao's heart moved: "If it is an ordinary woman, after hearing your words, I must be so moved, but unfortunately, your mind is in vain." Then he said: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that your illness will not be cured overnight, and you have to recuperate slowly, so ah, don't worry, don't be afraid, let's take our time, okay?" ”

Xiong Yan said: "Okay, good." ”

Wu Yunzhao nodded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you are thirsty, let go of your hand first, and the concubine will bring you water." ”

Xiong Yan let go of his hand, then grabbed it again, looked at Wu Yunzhao thoughtfully, and after a while, he finally believed that he would not lose his life, and let go again.

Wu Yunzhao fed Xiong Yan water and helped him lean against the side of the bed.

Xiong Yan's body was weak, his head was tilted, and he pressed against Wu Yunzhao's shoulder, and his sunken and thin face was slightly bloody.

Wu Yunzhao said: "Your Majesty, are you hungry?" ”

Xiong Yan said: "There are some. ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Wait, the concubine will order, prepare in the morning." However, we have to let the Imperial Doctor take a look first. ”

Xiong Yan nodded and lay down again.

Wu Yunzhao smiled and hurriedly ordered.

After a while, Imperial Physician Xu, Wang De, Sun Hongxiang and others all came to serve closely. Sun Hongxiang has true feelings for Xiong Yan, and in order to give her more opportunities to get along with Xiong Yan, Wu Yunzhao left under the pretext of having important matters to deal with.

On the square in front of the Taiji Palace, Zixiang was still kneeling. At this time, it was already early in the morning, the night wind was wheezing, Zixiang couldn't help trembling holding her arms, and she was about to lose her support.

Wu Yunzhao walked to Zixiang's side with Xiao Shun's support, looked condescendingly for a long time, raised his eyes and looked around, except for the guards who patrolled the night, there was no one else.

Wu Yunzhao asked, "Girl, why bother?" ”

Zixiang was touched, her nose was sour, she raised her head, the cold moonlight shone on her weak face, adding even more desolation, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "Queen Mother, he is unrighteous to me, but I can't be ruthless to him, don't bother, dispose of the slave." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "You want to have a good time? ”

Zixiang hung her head, noncommittal.

Wu Yunzhao smiled coldly and said, "Girl, it is a big crime to listen to Your Majesty's news, and it is not too much to ask for your life." ”

Zixiang said: "Slave maid • slave maid is willing to be punished!" ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Well, there is responsibility." Then he asked, "Girl, how old is this year?" ”

Zixiang said: "Slave sixteen." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Sixteen years old, what a good age, knowing Shao Ai, human nature." But ah, the girl is ignorant and doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister. You have a heart on others, but what about others, from the beginning, that heart is not on you. After a pause, he heard Zixiang's sobbing, and continued: "Let Bengong guess." ”

Zixiang said in her heart: "I am secretive and cautious in contact with him, how can you guess it." Curious, he looked up again and again, his eyes full of tears.

Wu Yunzhao said: "Xiaoshun, help Zixiang up, move your legs and feet, let's talk while walking." ”

Wu Yunzhao walked in front, and Xiao Shun followed behind with Zixiang. When the three of them walked for a short time, they ran into Liu Jianzhang, who was leading the patrol.

Wu Yunzhao said: "You have worked hard. ”

Liu Jianzhang and his subordinates thanked him in unison.

Wu Yunzhao said: "General Liu, this palace has something to do with you later, and I will go with the palace for a while." ”

Liu Jianzhang said: "Yes." With a wave of his arm, let the patrol go and follow him.
