Chapter 84: The Gray Past
When Yin Chen came over, the queen and Concubine Xiang had already left, and Li Shenlan couldn't sleep for a while because she had slept for too long. So as soon as Yin Chen came in, he saw her staring at the top of the tent in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"I thought you were asleep."
Li Shenlan looked for the sound and saw Yin Chen walking in with a gentle face, still holding something in his hand. Because she was too excited, Li Shenlan remembered that she had pulled the wound, and for a while, let alone gasp, the cold sweat slipped down directly.
"Why are you so stupid?" Although Yin Chen blamed on his lips, the movements in his hands were extremely honest, and he stepped forward to set up the backrest for Li Shenlan in three steps and two steps, and only then found a chair to sit down at random after helping her sit down gently.
"It's not too early to see the hour, why does the emperor come here so late if he doesn't rest earlier?"
Yin Chen laughed a little when he heard this, "It is said that you have been stupid for three years since you were pregnant, and you are afraid that you will be stupid for six years, isn't this my camp?" I'll go back to my room and rest, why not? ”
Li Shenlan reacted to this, and was directly carried into this place by Yin Chen after she fell into a coma, as for her own tent, it seems that she has never been in it.
"It's the concubine who is confused."
It was quiet inside and outside the house, Li Shenlan felt sorry for the tiredness of the autumn harvest, so she let them go back to the house early in the morning to rest. There was an occasional sound of rustling outside, presumably a guard patrolling. After such incidents, patrols around the paddock have more than doubled.
"What is the emperor busy with so late, is there something going on in the palace?"
It's okay to be idle left and right, and Li Shenlan chatted about it as usual, but she didn't notice Yin Chen's subconscious frowning, obviously she would be wrong.
"It's fine, and there's no news of the war on the Nanban side, but Ha Baoyin in the palace was found to be pregnant."
"Bao Yin is pregnant!"
Li Shenlan was a little surprised, but Yin Chen put his focus elsewhere. Ha Baoyin was arrested by him and brought to the capital, but there are few people who know that Ha Baoyin is in the palace. And Li Shenlan was not the slightest surprised when she heard that she was in the palace.
As if everything, she had known for a long time.
"I only learned about it yesterday, and I am an orphan of the Chengwang Mansion, and I have instructed the people who are waiting in the palace to serve well."
After a long time, Yin Chen replied, and Li Shenlan also nodded in response, and the expression on her face was even more like a person who had come over.
"The emperor used to hold Baoyin, but now that Baoyin has a body, pregnant women are the most afraid of being locked up, why don't you let her walk around more on weekdays?"
"It's okay, I'll let people go back tomorrow to spread the word, but in the end, she is the only bargaining chip to contain Nanban, and at most she can only dangle in the Imperial Garden."
Although Li Shenlan also understood, she felt sorry for Ha Baoyin in her heart, speaking of which, she was also the proudest little princess in Nanban, but now she was forced to become a proton, and what was even more pitiful was that her father and brother didn't care about her life at all, and still fought against Daqi.
"What do you think?"
"It's nothing, when will I return to the palace tomorrow?"
The original plan was to hunt for only two days, and according to the rules, he would leave for his return tomorrow afternoon.
"What do you think?"
Yin Chen smiled helplessly, and then couldn't help nodding Li Shenlan's head.
"You just got injured, how could I be in such a hurry to leave when you are vulnerable?"
"But aren't there so many things to deal with in the palace?"
"I've had people send them every day, and try not to send them if they don't have serious problems on weekdays. When your wounds are healed and you are sure you can walk down the ground for a while, I'm announcing that you'll go back. ”
Li Shenlan was a little sad, she didn't expect that she would drag down the trip, but now that Yin Chen has made up her mind, she can't say anything.
This night, Yin Chen slept with Li Shenlan, and after the anesthetic in the middle of the night, Li Shenlan's wound was healing again, not only itchy but also very painful. Yin Chen obviously had to get up early every morning, but he was willing to get up to help Li Shenlan change the dressing, and even the doctor was not at ease, so he was willing to give up only when he started it himself.
"Ah Ci...... You're so nice. ”
In a daze, Li Shenlan said this to Yin Chen with a smile. And Yin Chen's words back also made Li Shenlan not forget until she died.
He said: In the future, if you miss me, you will look for me, regardless of whether I am sleeping, whether I am in a bad mood, whether I am dealing with government affairs, whether I will be disturbed, as long as you need me, I will be there.
That night, Li Shenlan even dreamed sweetly.
The next day, Li Shenlan woke up at noon, and the medicine that Yin Chen specially sent was really good, but it already had obvious effects in one day. It's just that Xu was too tired two days ago, and the fetal gas from the sword was moved at that time, Li Shenlan slept for a long time but was not stable.
"Niangniang, Sister Bangchun is here!"
Harvest Qiu rushed in happily, and behind her was Bang Chun, who was also excited.
Li Shenlan was also a little excited, Yin Chen didn't tell him that Bang Chun would come, not to mention that the Qin Mansion was quite far away in the paddock, but it was difficult to rush over so early for Bang Chun.
"Niangniang, don't say these words, it just so happened that Qin Ye was going to come over on an errand today, I heard that you were pregnant again, and I was happy to follow you."
"You, you also have a body, how can you suffer so much from the fatigue of traveling and traveling."
Bang Chun smiled embarrassedly, Li Shenlan was also really happy and worried about Bang Chun's body, and specially asked people to change the fruit tea for Bang Chun.
"Niangniang's news just sent me really scared me to death, Luo Bai really let her stay by Niangniang's side, she almost killed you."
"Don't blame her, I went up impulsively at that time, where can she take care of. Eh, don't talk about that, you've been in the body for almost four months, how do you feel? ”
Bang Chun showed a little shyness when he said this, "It's really strange to say, I see that people are all kinds of discomfort when they have a body, and no matter how bad it is, it will be harmful to such a situation." I'm fine, I didn't react at all. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many things that day and I fainted, I really didn't know until my stomach got bigger. ”
Hearing this, Li Shenlan laughed, and it was said that the mothers who could not be happy were all lucky people from God.
"Hey, now that I look back, this day has passed really fast, you have children."
"It's not, it's said that I am a few years old with the harvest autumn, and when the time comes, the mother will also find a favorite for the two of them, and marry them out in a beautiful way."
Harvest Autumn was still busy on the side, but when he heard this, he was ashamed and even stammered. The wound that provoked Li Shenlan's smile hurt badly.
"Mother, have you found out who sent it this time?"
Li Shenlan was stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head helplessly.
"This is a political matter, and I don't want to ask about it." Speaking of this, Li Shenlan suddenly remembered the meeting between Li Yunshan and herself that day for some reason, and the other was the dream she had when she was in a coma.
In the dream, she remembered that Li Yunshan mentioned Li Mingjin again, she was not superstitious, but she had obviously found out about that matter, why did she still subconsciously say that she hadn't found out in the dream?
"Bang Chun, there is something I still need your help to check."
"The master commands that."
"Now that I am assassinated, I need Luo Bai to defend me, so I can only let you find another reliable one to do. Li Mingjin's matter, I always feel that there is still a lot to find out......"
Bang Chun couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw Li Shenlan mention this matter again, and when he said it, the dark building found out early in the morning. Especially in the dark building, as long as you figure out one thing, you will clearly record it and put it away.
"Does the master think what we found out was not true?"
"To put it bluntly, we really didn't check it out at the beginning. More than half of Li Mingjin's affairs were told to me by the emperor, but now looking at Li Yunshan's reaction, it is obvious that the emperor's words are not true. ”
"Master, since the emperor has told a lie, it means that the truth cannot be seen. If you can't see someone, the master should not check. Besides, you don't have any substantive relationship with the Li Mansion now, and Li Mingjin's matter has nothing to do with you. ”
Bang Chun's words are right, Li Shenlan also admits it, but that dream is too real. She always had a feeling that if she didn't find out, Sheng Ping would have an accident sooner or later, and she must have been harmed by Li Yunshan.
"Do you have to check?"
"It must be, even if it is three feet into the ground, there must be a truth."
Seeing that Li Shenlan's attitude was so resolute, Bang Chun also responded.
Yin Chen said to let Li Shenlan recuperate, and seven days passed after this itch, seeing that the wound had scabbed over and Li Shenlan was able to walk normally, Yin Chen finally announced his return to the palace under Li Shenlan's persuasion.
Li Shenlan's carriage was very large, even much larger than the queen's. Yin Chen only said that she had a meritorious role in saving the driver, and only these four words blocked the mouths of the people. And a thick goose feather blanket was laid out in the carriage, and Li Shenlan lay down only to feel that she had fallen into a pool of cotton, and it was so soft that her bones were almost gone.
"Taste?"
Yin Chen was originally accompanying Li Shenlan in the carriage, but for some reason he suddenly got out of the carriage halfway, and now when he came back, he found that he was holding two large strings of rock sugar gourds in his hand.
"The emperor bought this?" It was hard for Li Shenlan to imagine that Yin Chen, a Ninety-Five Venerable Baba, would go down, pose three copper plates in front of the small traders, and then slowly pick out the two largest strings.
But looking at Yin Chen's noncommittal expression again, "Didn't you just look at this last time and your eyes glowed?" I thought you like to eat, so I asked someone to go to the place and tell me to go down, and you can taste the two biggest skewers. ”
Li Shenlan took it with a smile and took a big bite, the sugar coating was wrapped in sweet and sour, which made Li Shenlan feel happy. Sure enough, sweets are really something that makes people happy.
"Is it sweet?"
"It's so sweet! You can taste it too! ”
Saying that, Li Shenlan picked up Yin Chen's hand and raised another string in front of him, just taking a bite and waiting for the sweetness of the sugar coating to disappear, Yin Chen frowned directly sourly.
"What's wrong?" Li Shenlan was very puzzled.
"It's so sour, don't you feel it?"
Is it sour? Li Shenlan only took it as the reason for two strings and tried to bite one of Yin Chen's hands again, but she didn't feel any sour until she swallowed it.
"Isn't that sweet?"
Li Shenlan didn't care about anything else, she knew that if she didn't eat the other string, she would definitely be thrown away by Yin Chen, so she simply grabbed it and ate it clean. Yin Chen was an accident, obviously the thing was sour, but Li Shenlan still felt that it was not sweet.
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard that the people have an old saying called sour and spicy girls? The concubine thinks now, maybe this baby can really give birth to a little prince, and then Sheng Ping will have a younger brother......"
What Li Shenlan said afterwards, Yin Chen didn't listen to it, he only remembered "sour and spicy girl".
But if this baby is a boy......
Yin Chen, who had no reason, had the face of the Queen Mother in his mind, and she was even a little mean in her sternness. It's just that this mean face reminds her that she must not gamble with the country of Daqi!
Li Shenlan still can't stay in the palace when she returns to the palace, so it's better to go to Ha Baoyin to chat about it, after all, it seems that the two have some common topics now.
"I didn't expect you to come here."
Li Shenlan shrugged, she had already forgiven Ha Baoyin, not to mention that she was also a poor person at the moment. Counting that they haven't seen each other for a while, Ha Baoyin is obviously pregnant but much thinner than before. It's understandable to think about it, after all, I don't care about myself as a proton.
The deep palace wall courtyard is closed, how can it be sad?
"Didn't the emperor promise you to go out for a walk? It's not good to be in the house all the time with your body in your arms. ”
Ha Baoyin smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he politely poured a glass of water for Li Shenlan in his hand.
"I'm not you, I'm not so favored, don't say that the emperor is the queen and Concubine Xiang are obviously your rivals, but they still hold you in the palm of their hands. Besides, when I go out as an identity, what do others think of me? ”
"But you always have to think about your children? Besides, this is the only child of King Cheng, haven't you always liked him? ”
Ha Baoyin sneered, Rao is Li Shenlan, who is not particularly sensitive, can see that she is much more mature now, as if she is pressing something in her heart.
"I didn't like him for a long time, and from the day I beat him and started to rebel, I completely understood my status. To him, I was just a snobbish bargaining chip. As for every joy after marriage, I am just an object for him to vent his desires, as long as it is a woman. ”
Ha Baoyin's words are sad and lamentable, but everyone who listens knows that this is the truth.
"You know, I knew I had a body. But I didn't want to keep him at all, I didn't even know how to face him when he was born...... I'm a joke myself, and this kid is like a reminder of my past.
Speaking of which, your Great Qi Emperor is so stupid, do you really think that taking me as a hostage will make them admit their mistakes and truce? Impossible.
I'm just a woman, and the water spilled by my married daughter has nothing to do with them whether I live or die in the future. My mother was like that, every time my father was angry or upset, he would whip my mother. The people of the steppe respect Hakoye, and after a long time, he will beat my mother......"
There was no light in Ha Baoyin's eyes.
