Ji Ziqi waited outside the Taihe Gate for a long time, Luo Xun looked at him anxious, but the adjutant didn't come, so in order to relieve his anxious and nervous emotions, he stood on the palace wall and asked, "Hey! Are Lord Ji and the Queen Mother very familiar? ”

Luo Xun is the commander of the 30,000 Royal Forest Army in the palace, and his official rank is naturally higher than that of Ji Ziqi, plus most of the people who lead the troops on the march are informal, so the tone of speech is also commonplace.

Ji Ziqi looked up at Luo Xun, because the sunlight was too dazzling, he could only squint his eyes slightly, and arched his hand and said, "Why did General Luo say this?" ”

Luo Xun leaned on the city wall, playing with the sword spike of the sword at his waist, and said: "I have been stationed at the palace gate for so long, and it is the first time I have seen an official come to seek medical treatment, so I went directly to the queen's mother." ”

Ji Ziqi said: "Not long after the lower official came to Beijing, he was not very clear about the rules of the imperial harem, but the illness in the family was really serious, and he thought that finding the queen mother could avoid many complicated procedures. ”

Luo Xun smiled and said, "As long as the queen agrees, what's wrong, I just said that, adults don't need to take it to heart." ”

Hearing this, Ji Ziqi didn't say anything more, just quietly waited for the queen to send the imperial doctor.

Luo Xun was also idle, and said: "If you can come in a hurry to ask for a doctor, that person must be very important, right?" ”

Ji Ziqi looked up at Luo Xun and said: "It's all human life, and the lower officials also invited the doctor Lang Zhong to take a look, but the condition is rare, if you can invite the imperial doctor, it will be twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Is it a woman?" Luo Xun raised his eyes and said.

The women in the palace spent countless long nights from afar, and Luo Xun guarded the palace gate and spent countless long nights, to be honest, very boring.

Ji Ziqi said: "A maid in the family. ”

Seeing Ji Ziqi's serious appearance, Luo Xun laughed twice and said, "If the queen knows that you are going to save a servant, I don't know if she will help you." ”

Ji Ziqi asked, "Why did the general say that?" Isn't the life of a handmaid a life? ”

At home in Taiyuan County, he doesn't know other people's affairs, but he has always exchanged sincerity for sincerity when he treats his subordinates, and he does not say that he holds the other party's deed of sale, and he feels superior to the other party, from beginning to end, he advocates the concept of equality for all.

Although it is difficult to implement this kind of concept in such an environment, they have a class and hierarchy that they cannot cross, but at least in Ji Ziqi's eyes, everyone's life is equally important.

Luo Xun was speechless for a while when he asked him this, then looked around, pointed to a small West Gate in the distance, and said, "If you stand below, you may not be able to see that door, if I don't say it, you will never know that little West Gate." ”

Ji Ziqi glanced at the place of his finger with some curiosity, but he could only see the corner of the eaves, and he couldn't see anything, and at this time he suddenly sighed, the palace gate is so high.

Luo Xun continued: "In that little Ximen, I don't know how many corpses will be transported out every day, some of them are just dragged to death with hot foreheads, and some are exhausted to death. The imperial hospital is in the palace, and it will also treat the eunuchs and palace maids, but why are they still dead? ”

Then Luo Xun looked at Ji Ziqi, as if asking him this question.

Ji Ziqi didn't know how to answer his question, which seemed to be a question that did not conform to Ji Ziqi's cognition: The Tai Hospital is obviously in the palace, but why do people still die of illness?

Ji Ziqi didn't speak, he couldn't answer Luo Xun's question.

Then Luo Xun said with a smile: "Everyone has their own fate, so many servants in the palace are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. That handmaid is lucky to meet you, Lord Ji, a good person has a safe life. ”

Luo Xun rarely lamented this kind of thing, but he didn't know why, but when he talked about it, he also had some emotion.

"Thank you." Ji Ziqi didn't know what to say, so he could only thank him, and he was wishing himself peace.

Luo Xun stood on the city wall, looking at Ji Ziqi still standing at the door of Taihe Gate waiting, listening to his own words, as if he was a little worried, worried that the queen mother would not help, it was said that only the officials themselves could get treatment from Taiwan and the hospital, which also reflected the emperor's grace, but now that he came for a maidservant, he really had to worry about whether the queen mother would take a lot of trouble for him.

Luo Xun looked at this fan-faced scholar-like champion Lang, and couldn't help but joke at him, saying, "How many years have you been reading?" How did he become a champion in one fell swoop, it looks so easy. ”

Ji Ziqi waited outside the palace gate, so he simply chatted with him: "What about the general, it took a few years to become the commander of the Imperial Forest Army?" I don't know the general's hard work, and the general doesn't want to talk about my hard work casually. ”

Ji Ziqi seems to be a little serious, he has been studying hard for many years, but he has read poetry and books more than 100 times, how can he become relaxed in the eyes of outsiders? He didn't understand.

Luo Xun looked at him so seriously, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Me? I didn't spend a few years of work, my family for generations for the emperor to guard the palace gate, my position is hereditary, just twenty years old is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, I am more than twenty this year, after my parents are not there, my grandfather was knighted, but also a senile dementia, he can't remember my birthday, I am only a birthday, now I can't remember how old I am, this day passed, even a few years have forgotten. ”

Luo Xun said a lot in one breath, and then he leaned on the city wall and sighed, it was already winter at this time, and the sigh formed a white mist.

Then Luo Xun said: "I only remember the year I wore this dress, it was also such a cold season. ”

Luo Xun expressed his loneliness and loneliness in a few words, Ji Ziqi also has a deep understanding, they are like they are sick and sympathetic, and they are also brought up by other elders in the family, but Ji Ziqi still remembers his birthday, not as confused as Luo Xun.

Luo Xun then smiled again: "Actually, it's not easy for everyone, if I didn't practice when I was a child, even if my grandfather asked me to be it, I hold this sword, where can the monarch who dares to guard sit high in the temple?" ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xun and Ji Ziqi both looked at the Jinluan Hall in unison.

The king sat high in the temple, and the ministers stood outside the city.

If the minister does not die, who dares to bear the king?

Ji Ziqi looked up at Luo Xun and looked at him as if he didn't care, but in fact, he was tormented and entangled every day, in fact, he could see it......

It is not so much that Luo Xun is the golden lock that guards the canary and cannot fly out of the golden wire cage, in fact, he himself is the canary who wants to fly out the most.

"The general has worked hard." Ji Ziqi said.

Luo Xun looked down at him, there was some surprise in his eyes, as if he had been understood, the grandfather of the family has been saying that he is not doing his job, and he has to guard the palace gate every day, who can know his hard work, his unwillingness, he is not willing to spend it in this imperial city, and it is really hard to endure it.

Luo Xun didn't speak, but he had already thanked him in his heart.

At this time, Yuebai had already brought three imperial doctors over with the token, these three imperial doctors were all skilled and well-informed in traditional Chinese medicine in the Tai Hospital, and they had seen many difficult diseases, so they should be able to help Ji Ziqi.

"Hime-sama." Yuebai walked up to him and said to him, "These three are the imperial doctors arranged for you by the queen mother, I hope they can help you." ”

Ji Ziqi hurriedly said to the three imperial doctors: "Thank you this time." ”

The three imperial doctors also bowed their hands and said, "Your Excellency, you must not be polite. ”

At the time of parting, Ji Ziqi looked at Yuebai and asked in embarrassment, "How is she?" ”

Yuebai understood what he meant, nodded vaguely, and said, "Okay, Mo Nian." ”

Then Ji Ziqi relieved himself and left with the three imperial doctors and their medicine boys.

*

At this time, the people in the small garden had already been ordered out by Jian Hening, so it didn't help much, and it was not interesting to sit here all the time, so they all left one after another.

After Ah Zhu and the others cleaned the house for Ah Zhu, cleaned up his body and bedding, they all went out to wait.

Only Jian Hening has been by Ah Xiu's side, making a look of sisterhood.

Outside the door, Ah Zhu was broken-mouthed, and she said: "Now Ah Xiu is like a second miss, we have to serve her after serving Miss." ”

"Not really." The maids outside the door should also be with them.

Jian Hening was also happy when she heard this, isn't this the effect she wants?

Everyone said that Jian Hening was good to Ah Xiu and treated her like a sister, but who knows how Jian Hening treated Ah Xiu in private?

Jian Hening wants such a contrast.

At this time, she looked at Ah Xiu who was lying on the bed and was dying, and the whole room could hear her panting gently, probably consciously, when Jian He Ning was next to her, Ah Xiu's fingers grabbed the sheets hard, and pulled out some folds tightly.

Jian Hening wrung a towel in the basin on the side, then raised Ah Xiu's hand and wiped it slowly, and said softly while wiping it: "Everyone else says that I am good to you, but only I know that you are actually good to me, if you hadn't been by my side to help me like this, maybe everything I have now will disappear." ”

Ah Xiu is now in a long agony, and now her soul seems to be imprisoned in this dead body, unable to get out, and the environment inside is really cramped.

Ah Xiu heard Jian Hening saying these words, she felt very sad, but she couldn't do anything, no one knew how painful she was now, her body was as uncomfortable as fire, but she couldn't move, like lying on the fire, being picked up by the flames of her clothes and hair, invading her body bit by bit, sweat kept gushing out, blood was evaporated, she was lying in the sea of fire and slowly falling, no one could save her.

With a hint of a smile on the corner of Jian He's mouth, he slowly rose, looked at Ah Xiu with gentle eyes, and said: "You don't know, I like you like this the most, you don't speak quietly, you won't show me your face, how good you are always like this, don't leave me." You can't leave me. ”

At this time, there was wind outside the window, dusk was approaching, the moon was rising, there was a crow crying outside the house, and I didn't know how to surprise the birds for a while, and they flew away.

The mirror at the head of the bed reflects Jian Hening's appearance, a light pink dress wrapped in a soft waist, a plain white gauze dress is lightly draped outside, and the beautiful neck and clearly visible collarbone are faintly visible, which is even more delicate and lovely. The pleats of the skirt are like snow and moonlight, flowing lightly on the ground, more than three feet, making the gait more graceful and soft, three thousand green silk is tied up by a light silver hair belt, obliquely inserted silver butterfly hairpin, two strands of green silk seem to hang down on the chest at will, thin powder, the faint red on the cheeks creates a delicate loveliness, the bright eyes belong to the pale blue, a shallow smile can attract tens of millions of people, and there is always a faint and leisurely, fresh and natural mint fragrance behind him. The whole person is like a butterfly flying in the wind, and like a clear and transparent ice and snow.

Dressed in a moon white palace suit, it is elegant but has a bit more dusty temperament. The wide plain skirt scurls behind her, simple and elegant. The black jade-like green silk is simply rolled into a flying fairy bun, and a few round pearls are embellished between the hair at will, making the black hair more soft and moisturized. The beautiful eyes are full of brilliance, and there is a faint smile on the lips. The smoky green palace dress is draped in a thin layer of silver yarn, the crape myrtle on the wide coat is in full bloom, the three thousand green silk is a little simple pull, and the rest hangs down on the neck, and a small drop-shaped purple gem hangs down in front of the forehead, which is just right. The hollow flying phoenix golden step on his head swayed lightly with the lotus step, making a ding-dong sound, which made a unique and lovely appearance. If the shoulders are shaved, the waist is like a prime, the eyebrows are like green feathers, and the muscles are like snow. The black hair is wrapped around his waist with a light blue ribbon, and he sways slightly with his steps while walking, showing his sense of weakness. Dressed in a plain brocade palace robe, the water blue light veil was blowing, the light veil was flying, and the whole person exuded a faint aura.

If the skin is condensed, the blow can be broken, the red lips are cherry red, no need to dot, the slender willow eyebrows are lightly raised, and the cherry lips outline a smile, but there is a faint chill. Dressed in a plain shirt, the dark lines of the sky-blue flowers on the other side flickered in the walk. Gently tied with a silk ribbon of lake blue brocade, the simple high bun and the messy bangs swaying in front of the forehead against the breeze show a kind of casualness, a pure white gem hairpin, exuding brilliant spots. The corners of his mouth were secretly hooked, and his eyes, which were as cold as frozen lake water, looked extraordinarily clear. The face of the spring water is like clotted fat, the white peony smoke Luo soft yarn, the white mopping smoke cage plum blossom water skirt, the body is soft smoke, and it is really a bit of a powdery and crispy and delicate taste.

A petite face the size of a palm, a skin that can be broken by blowing, delicate facial features, the clearest dark blue eyes, and the most beautiful rose-colored flowing hair that makes people jealous. Because he has taken the condensing pill made by his mother since he was a child, he has a faint floral fragrance on his body. Wearing an ivory white floor-length dress, covered with a silk embroidered colorful cherry blossom Xidi palace veil, her hair is like half a chrysanthemum, and the peach blossom is carefully pasted on her forehead, which makes her complexion look like spring, with big cherry lips and big eyes, and sideburns like clouds. On both sides, there are two pinched gold wire hollow peacock hairpins, and each peacock has a string of black pearls under its mouth, which is both extravagant and unassuming.

A lilac dress reaches the ground, and a butterfly dances among the flowers on her feet. Dressed in blue tulle, it looks clear and transparent, both real and illusory. A plain brocade belt around the waist looks fresh and elegant. The eyebrows are like willow bends, the eyes are like lakes, the nose is small, high and straight, and the cherry lips are red without dotting. The skin is as white and tender as snow, and there is an elegant momentum in every gesture. The three-foot green silk on the head is black and shiny, and a wooden hairpin is obliquely suspended, the wooden hairpin is delicate but not luxurious, which complements this plain outfit.

Such a beauty, but the behavior is very different......

Ah Xiu could feel Jian Hening's horror with her eyes closed, she should have thought that she would put herself to death and be fast.

Then Jian Hening took out a packet of medicinal powder from her sleeve, melted it with water, and pinched Ah Xiu's mouth, Ah Xiu couldn't resist, so she swallowed it down her throat.

After drinking, Jian Hening washed the bowl with water, leaving no traces, and then put the paper of the medicine bag on himself, and went out to dispose of it later, so that Ah Xiu's illness suddenly occurred this time, and no one could find any evidence here in Jian Hening, and no one would know that Ah Xiu would eventually die because of something.
