Ouyang Zhen looked at his sluggish face and sighed with a smile: "What? Not convinced? Is this the kind of person who doesn't talk much? Now that the queen has no action, her prestige in the harem has gradually dissipated, but as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and if she does anything to you, the palace will not be able to protect you. So, you better take a break, go home and accompany the warbler, and wait until ...... Wait until one day, Hongu will still reuse you. ”

After she finished speaking, Qin Zhi's face was already full of emotion, and he said tremblingly: "But...... But Niangniang, Weichen can still listen to the news for Niangniang over there......"

Ouyang Zhen shook his head slightly, and helped him up: "Imperial Doctor Qin helped the palace when it was most desperate, but how can the palace let you go deep into the tiger's den in Longtan again?" The three princes were able to educate under the knees of this palace, all thanks to the help of Imperial Physician Qin, but this trip is too deep in troubled waters, Imperial Physician Qin already has people to worry about, so don't risk yourself. ”

Qin Zhi was speechless for a moment, and was silent for a while before he said, "Weichen understands." He quietly retreated, and suddenly gritted his teeth at the door and asked, "Niangniang...... Take care. ”

Ouyang Zhen nodded slightly. He finally disappeared by the door.

Take care?

Yes, she also has to take care of herself, only in this way can she protect the people she wants to protect the most. With a long sigh, her long sleeves were like clouds, and the long skirt behind her dragged away.

She finally looked at the world outside the pavilion once more.

That direction, that direction is the official road out of Beijing, and the person in his heart has already gone away little by little, taking his wife who is marrying Ming Media, and leaving Chu Jing far away.

Far away, there is also her heart, little by little, peeling off the cocoon. Leave her in this harem where the palace gate is deeply locked.

……

Half a month later, when Imperial Physician Qin Zhiqin, who was attending for the queen, went home on a rainy night, he was frightened and broke his calf. So he naturally asked for a three-month leave from the Tai Hospital, and pushed the queen's messenger.

The hospital sent people to visit, and they shook their heads one by one, and that kind of leg injury would not be healed in half a year.

Qin Zhi hummed painfully on the bed, watching the people from the Tai Hospital leave, before he grinned and removed the bandages on his legs, revealing a hideous and swollen wound.

Ming Ying pushed the door in, saw him doing it, quickly closed the door, chuckled and blamed: "Husband, you are not afraid that they will go back." This fake injury is too difficult to get done, and it took a long time to get it. ”

Qin Zhi ignored her nagging, removed the bandage on his leg, took the wet cloth next to him, and wiped it clean a few times. smiled: "Tell me to pretend for a few more days, I'm going crazy." It will also itch when the leg is tied for a long time. When the time comes, the rash is also uncomfortable. ”

Only then did the warbler relax, sit beside him, and wipe it for him. She thought about it for a moment before asking, "How is Niangniang now?" ”

Qin Zhi looked at her lost face distressedly, and comforted her: "Niangniang is fine now." The emperor dotes on her very much, and no one dares to be disrespectful to her. ”

Ming Ying didn't believe it, and couldn't help crying: "If the mother is good, how can she tell you to withdraw?" Something big must have happened. Others don't know Niangniang, why don't I know, she always carries it alone, and she has to block everything herself. said that the mother is good, but in fact, who knows the bitterness in her heart? ”

The more she talked, the more sad she became, Qin Zhi panicked when he saw her crying, and he was not good at comforting people, so he had to hug her and said urgently: "You are all a mother, why are you willful again, if you cry again, the children born in the future will be like you who love to cry all day long." ”

Ming Ying stopped sobbing at this time, the happy little girl in the past is now a wife, she understands a lot of helplessness and joys and sorrows in the world, and she understands Ouyang Zhen's courage to survive on the day when the country of China was destroyed.

It's not that she can't die, but in this world, there is always something more difficult than death, that is, to live day by day with shame.

"What kind of character is Niangniang, don't worry, Jiren has his own nature. Mother's going to be fine. Qin Zhi hugged her and coaxed her, but the worries in her heart did not decrease a point, the queen became more and more eccentric, and Rou Jieyu Niangniang became more and more inscrutable.

The changes in the court are not something that can be explained to the warbler in a few words.

The calm that was deliberately supported day by day has gradually become unable to whitewash the peaceful appearance of Chu Jing, and the two most powerful women in the harem are about to let go for power and wealth.

He was only glad that she could still think of his kindness and let him go. This open-mindedness made him deeply admired while rejoicing.

……

Chu Ninghe's three years passed in this gradually unsettling silence, Xiao Yingzhou grew up day by day, and Ouyang Zhen took care of him day by day, like caring for his own eyes.

He can speak in September, he can memorize the three-character scripture at the age of one, and he can memorize the long "Disciple Rules" at the age of one and a half, and his smile and frowning look resemble Chu Huotian.

Chu Huotian also liked it very much. He always said to her: "This son is smart and can take on great responsibilities in the future." ”

Ouyang Zhen listened, and always said modestly: "It's not that the third prince is smart, but because the emperor carefully teaches." Yun lightly blocked what he wanted to say next.

Chu Huotian looked at the faint melancholy between her eyebrows and sighed lightly. How he didn't understand her heart. How can parents be willing to send their children to that high place and unbearable position, unless their hearts are selfish.

However, he was born in the emperor's family...... There are no more options.

"Ji'er, are you unwilling to make Yingzhou the prince? ......" One day, he finally hesitated to ask her.

Ouyang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, the concubine would like him to be an idle prince, chant poems in his spare time, be graceful, and have a leisurely life." She looked at him with a slightly wry smile.

"Is the concubine unambitious?" She sighed slightly.

"However, if you set up another prince, I ...... I'm afraid that after a hundred years, I will no longer be able to protect you......" Chu Huotian finished speaking, with a trace of helplessness and heartache in his cold eyes.

Ouyang Zhen was shocked, and his eyes widened to look at his slightly tired face.

She almost forgot that she was just a concubine from Huadi, and in this harem, no matter who is appointed to sit as the future prince, one day, after a hundred years of Chu Huotian, she, a rootless person, if she meets someone with a heart and wants her to die, she can crush her with a finger.

Her eyes widened, and tears fell unexpectedly. Drop by drop hit his hands, scorching and full of despair.

Chu Huotian was moved and reluctantly took her into his arms, and he smiled bitterly: "It's not that I want to abandon you, but that I will one day leave ...... before you."

Her tears flowed like an endless stream, flowing as much as she could, and when her lips and teeth touched, her murmur with a cry reached his ears one by one: "I don't allow you to talk nonsense. ……”

Chu Huotian's heart tightened, and he hugged her, as if he wanted to rub it into his body and embed it in his soul. No matter how he wanted to abandon her, he was unwilling to let go of her in heaven and on earth. It's just that he will eventually grow old and die.

And all this is a fact that cannot be changed.

Chu Huotian chuckled in a hoarse voice and said, "Am I too stupid to think of this for no reason." In fact, it's just a little emotional, watching Yingzhou grow up day by day, I feel that the years are easy to throw people away, no matter how strong the emperor is, there will be a day when he will grow old, and this world will finally be replaced by a new young emperor. ”

Ouyang Zhen covered his mouth again, and said with a slight annoyance: "Don't say it, the emperor is in his prime, how can he say such things?" Her eyes were swollen with tears, and the thought of one day leaving him made her heart ache as if she were dying. She didn't want to think about this possibility again, not in the slightest!

Chu Huotian gently tugged her hand and said with a smile: "Ji'er, how old are you this year?" ”

Ouyang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and said: "The concubine is Hua Yongjia's third year old, and by now, she is already twenty and three. Does the emperor dislike his concubines and get old? ”

Chu Huotian shook his head with a chuckle: "How come?" When I was twenty or thirty, I still felt that the world was in the palm of my hand, how could I think you were old? Do you know how old I am? ”

Ouyang Zhen was stunned for a moment, but was asked. She only knew that he was her husband, her god, but she didn't think about how old he was.

Chu Huotian smiled and said, "It's thirty and five years old this Chinese New Year's Eve. In another five years, it will be the year of no confusion. He remembered his brother, who was only fifty years old.

Even if he won't be so old, but under the daily torture of headaches and injuries in recent days, he also feels the helplessness of being unable to do it.

And he didn't mention all this to her.

Ouyang Zhen felt a little depressed in his heart for no reason, and only after a while did he sigh, shook Chu Huotian's hand, and a trace of determination flashed in his clear eyes: "Does the emperor remember what his concubine said back then?" ”

Chu Huotian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Back then? ”

Ouyang Zhen looked at him with a smile and said, "The concubine said it,...... Life after life, never abandon. Chu Huotian suddenly, his deep eyes like ink jade searched closely for every expression on her face.
