Chapter 170: Everyone has his own life, but the choice is in his own hands
Seeing that August has passed, the queen's illness has also been cured, and the condition in Fengyi Palace has been effectively controlled, but the emperor still did not order the unsealing, which made the whole palace panic.
Luo Qing doesn't know how much of this is the emperor's meaning, but there must be the meaning of the empress dowager.
In fact, the longer she was here, the more she felt anxious.
Although the condition of smallpox in Fengyi Palace has been controlled, there is still a patient, it is an internal servant, the imperial doctor who suffered from smallpox before has gone, and this internal attendant is left, and the imperial doctors do not want to take this matter, for fear that they will be infected, so they will not be able to avoid it, and this burden will naturally fall on Luo Qing's head.
Although this chamberlain said that he was on an errand in Fengyi Palace, he was not embarrassed, he only did some sprinkling and sweeping work, the queen has always been generous and benevolent, if she knew, she would not ignore it, but her body was not as good as before, and no one mentioned this matter in front of her, so Luo Qing had to take care of this chamberlain.
Luo Qing was busy all day long, either checking the pulse of the queen's mother, or coming to see the little maid and boil medicine, but he didn't feel the passage of time.
In a glance, it was the middle of September, and the smallpox of the chamberlain was almost healed, and everyone could get out of bed and walk.
As soon as Luo Qing entered the house, he saw Mao Ran holding on to the wall on the side, moving by himself, and hurriedly put down the medicine bowl in his hand to support the person.
"Be careful, you're just right, don't be too anxious."
Mao Ran felt that his identity was humble, and he never dared to face Luo Qing squarely, and this time he also bowed slightly, lowered his head and replied, "Don't worry, girl, the slaves can be saved, do what you can." ”
"You, it's good to know." Luo Qing walked two steps with the person and helped the person back to sit on the couch, "This medicine will not be good to drink when it gets cold later, it hurts the stomach, drink it quickly." ”
Mao Ran nodded, and obediently took a sip of the medicine, but today, somehow, he choked, and Luo Qing hurriedly reached out to pat him on the back.
"You don't have to be in such a hurry when you drink quickly."
Mao Ran relieved himself, and Luo Qing handed him a candied fruit in front of him, he happily took it and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth, and thanked her vaguely with the candied fruit.
"Thank you, girl. The girl is always so careful and considerate, knows the bitterness of medicine, every time she uses medicine, she will always bring some candied fruit for the slave, and the prince can marry the girl is the blessing of the third generation of the prince. ”
Luo Qing shook his head with a smile.
"Don't go out like this, maybe you will be punished, not to mention, I can marry the prince is the blessing of my third generation."
Her voice became lower and lower, and there was even more tenderness in her eyes that could not be hidden.
"It's not that I'm considerate, it's just that some people are afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, and I remember to bring a few candied fruits every time I boil the medicine."
She remembered Yan Huai, and her face couldn't help but carry a little nostalgia and a little joy, although because she was wearing a face scarf, others couldn't see the smile on her lips, but Mao Ran knew that she must have laughed, because there was a light in her eyes that he had never seen before.
He unconsciously transgressed, "That's the girl's sweetheart, right, is it the prince?" ”
Luo Qing immediately blushed, but fortunately, the face towel covered it, and others couldn't see it.
"You know, can't you tell anyone, otherwise, if the prince knows that I told you that he is afraid of the bitterness of medicine, he is afraid that he will lose face."
Mao Ran nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, girl, Mao Ran will be tight-lipped." ”
Luo Qing smiled: "I'm relieved." It's just that you have to get better soon, and it's not in vain that I've been taking care of you for so long. ”
Hearing this, Mao Ran's smile also lightened a little, "Girl rest assured, no matter what the previous days were, Mao Ran will definitely try her best to survive, the girl saved Mao Ran's life, and in the future, Mao Ran's life will be the girl's." ”
Luo Qing knew that Mao Ran had a sincere heart, but Mao Ran's life in the palace was already difficult, and she really didn't want him to do anything for herself.
"What do I want your life for? You take care of yourself and live for yourself, which is the right way. ”
Mao Ran smiled bitterly.
"How can a slave live for himself like this? used to look forward to being able to study the imperial examination and serve the imperial court, but now ...... What else do you dare to hope for? ”
Luo Qing heard Mao Ran mention his life experience.
In his early years, his family was not bad, not to mention abundant food and clothing, but his life was still passable, and he also went to a private school to study, and his parents were looking forward to him.
But the world is impermanent, his mother died of a sudden serious illness, his father couldn't stand the blow and became addicted to gambling, and sold him into the palace as a chamberlain for a settlement fee from the imperial court.
"Now that you have lived to the present, you always have some hope, there is a way to live outside the palace, there is a way to live outside the palace, there is a way to live in the palace, you want to report to serve the court, how do you know that you can't do something practical for the people of Li in the palace?"
She was also abandoned by her mother when she was a child, but she was lucky to meet her brother, who never treated her well, and taught herself to read and write and understand reason, which was luckier than Mao Ran.
There has never been real empathy in this world, and she can only say some big truths to comfort Mao Ran, Rao is saying this is suspected of standing and talking without backache, and what should be said still has to be said.
Mao Ran has been living a mess after entering the palace, suddenly heard someone say this to him, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, when he saw that Luo Qing was leaving, he raised his head suddenly, and said to Luo Qing with bright eyes, "The girl's words today really made the slave enlightened, and the slave is here to thank the girl." ”
Luo Qing smiled slightly: "Just figure it out." ”
Seeing that someone had used the medicine and talked to him for a while, Luo Qing got up and left.
Luo Qing has been in Fengyi Palace for nearly two months, and Liu Xiao has also returned from the extreme north, and Yan Huai does not plan to sit still and wait for death.
"Your Majesty, there has been a commotion outside, saying that God blames it, first the drought, then the Huns, and then the queen harmed smallpox, and the Great Apocalypse is afraid that there will be a catastrophe, Your Majesty doesn't plan to lift the ban of Fengyi Palace?"
Yan Huai stood in the imperial study and said to the emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair.
His words were already polite, but in fact, people outside said that the queen was really unknown, so she couldn't resist smallpox and was sick, but this was not what he should say, and the emperor knew it.
"I also listened to the news from the harem, the queen is indeed good, and the Fengyi Palace has been sealed before, and it is also the best way to control the spread of smallpox discussed by the imperial doctors in the palace, and it is time to unseal the Fengyi Palace, but it is ......"
He changed his mind.
"I have to ask the meaning of the imperial doctors, after all, this is related to the safety of the entire palace. What's more, now the queen's phoenix seal is also held by the emperor's grandmother, and I have to ask her about the harem, and I can't be too arbitrary. ”
Yan Huai is bound to achieve his goal today, and in the eyes of others, he has always been unscrupulous, and he sneered at the moment, "Weichen really doesn't know when Your Majesty listened to the words of the queen mother like this." ”
The emperor was immediately angry: "Presumptuous! Prince Yi is too unscrupulous! ”
After saying this, he felt that it was wrong, he was not only sarcastic about himself, but also seemed to have not even given the face of the Queen Mother.
Yan Huai sneered, "Your Majesty, Weichen is so temperamental, he is used to being outspoken. ”
The emperor is moody in the eyes of others, but once he encounters Yanhuai, he will always reveal emotions that should not be leaked by the superior, and he himself is aware of it, but he can't change it, or he always indulges himself and doesn't want to change.
He restrained his emotions and stopped mentioning this stubble, only saying, "Prince Yi is so anxious?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry, Weichen is not young." Yan Huai said calmly, "Haven't you and your mother been worrying about Weichen's family affairs, now that Qingqing has also completed her mission, this marriage has been delayed for more than a month, and it is time to get married." ”
After a pause, he said again, "The border pass is just an invasion, there is no serious chaos, and the Duke of Dingguo is coming back with a large army." I'm afraid that there will be no good days to get married after that, Your Majesty, what do you say? ”
The emperor's eyes changed suddenly: "Are you threatening me?" ”
"Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen just tells the truth, when the time comes, he will be busy, he won't even have a vacation, and he won't have time to accompany Qingqing, Weichen is so easy to get married, Your Majesty shouldn't be so cruel, right?"
Yan Huai's expression remained unchanged, and even had a bit of ridicule, which made it difficult for the emperor to have a seizure.
"This marriage is not a trivial matter, Cai Ji, Nali, one item is very cumbersome, I am not afraid that the little emperor uncle is not ready, if the little emperor uncle is too busy, I will send a few capable grandmothers to the little emperor uncle, how about preparing the things first?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, these things have already been prepared."
Yan Huai did not give an inch, and the emperor was angry.
"In that case, I will discuss this matter with the Empress Dowager."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Wechen is leaving."
Yan Huai bowed to the emperor and was about to leave, but just when he turned around, he stopped again, but he didn't speak for a long time.
It was rare for the emperor to see Yan Huai so hesitant, and he couldn't help but ask, "What else is Prince Yi's important matter?" ”
In his opinion, Yan Huaitian is not afraid of the earth, everything is in his chest, and there are almost no things that can make him silent for a long time, which is really abnormal.
Yan Huai opened his lips, "Your Majesty, people's hearts are not ancient, no, no, what should I do if I don't know people clearly?" ”
He turned back to Shenzi, and his gloomy eyes went straight to the emperor who was sitting on the throne.
"Your Majesty's heart, is it still the same as yesterday?"
He didn't know how much the emperor knew about his mother's concubine, but he couldn't imagine that he was still a little radish head in the emperor, and when he always liked to follow his buttocks, he also had a plan.
That is the person he personally escorted to the throne, Rao is a person who was blinded by poison and has no anti-purpose, even if he is unwilling to fight for the stability of the people in the world, but he also treats this person sincerely, so he is even more reluctant to fight, and he is willing to return to Beijing at this time.
But the emperor's later estrangement was real, and it was at that time that he learned the truth of the past.
The emperor's hand holding the brush was tight, his heart was very flustered, and there was a trace of spreading guilt and pain, as if he had been pricked with a needle, he had never seen him like this since the emperor died, although his eyes were godless, but his face was full of sadness.
What did he know?
But before he could say anything, Yanhuai had already hidden his emotions, as if what he had just seen was just his hallucination.
"Your Majesty, I hope you will not forget your innocence and be considerate of the people, so that Weichen will feel that it is not in vain that Weichen's eyes are lost. This is the first and last time Wechen has mentioned these eyes to you like this. ”
"Of course. I am the lord of the world, and I should do my best for the people of the world! ”
The emperor replied without hesitation, as if he was promising something to the elders who spurred him, and he was also looking forward to getting a response or encouragement from the elders, but Yan Huai didn't say anything more, just bowed slightly and bowed to him and retired.
If you want to say that he feels that he doesn't see people accurately, then don't say much, how beautiful is what he says? See what he does is real, and look at the future!
