Chapter 127: The Visitation (2)
On the fifteenth day, it rained a lot.
The rain in late autumn always has a special coolness, the so-called autumn rain and a cool.
The delay in this rain even coughed twice in the morning.
It was probably these two coughs, and Mama Chen specially went to invite the imperial doctor to see Chi Chi.
It's just that it's cold and dry, so the cough is not a big deal.
After a long time, he saw Awei go to see off the imperial doctor, so his eyes sank, "Are the sedan chairs ready?" β
Even at this time, Awei still had a little hope, thinking that he might change his mind after a long time.
But Chi Chi didn't have any such meaning, Awei pursed his lips, "Your Highness, after all, now you don't have to stick to one day or two days, you just coughed twice in the morning, and the imperial doctor also said that you need to recuperate, and then go to see Concubine Jing Niangniang in two days, I think Niangniang will be able to understand you." β
Chi Chi shook his head, "I'm already too late to come back." β
Concubine Jing's situation is very bad, and she has already been unrecognizable before.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the cold palace are hard-hearted people, and they only think about when to toss people to death, and they will not show mercy at all.
It has been several months since she delayed this departure, and she was even a little scared in her heart, just afraid that Concubine Jing had already encountered an accident.
But this kind of speculation, she doesn't want to think about it, and she doesn't want to say it.
just sank his face, "Don't go yet." β
Ah Wei didn't dare to go against Chi Chi's wishes, so he could only bow his head.
But when she went out for a long time, Mama Chen naturally wanted to come over and stop her in a fake way, "Your Highness, your body is not yet well, how can you go out." β
Sitting on the sedan chair for a long time, his face was indistinguishable, "Is Mama going to stop me too?" β
Maybe her tone was too cold, that is, Mama Chen was a little intimidated for a while, and she didn't know how to speak, so she smiled awkwardly after a while, "Your Highness, where is the old slave just worried about Your Highness." β
She looked at the rain on the corridor, "Even if Your Highness wants to go out, you are not in a hurry for a while, it is better to wait for the rain to stop before leaving." β
She was very concerned, "Your Highness's body is not good in the first place, and if it rains again, I'm afraid it's not good." β
I looked at the sky for a long time, it was dim and dark, as if it was going to get dark at any time, and I really didn't know when the rain would stop.
She tugged at her lips, "Mama don't worry, I'll be back after a while with someone." β
She coughed lightly twice, then lowered her tone, "Let's go." β
"Slave and maid send it to Your Highness." Mama Chen's eyes softened, and then she turned her head to look at Ah Ye who was following on the side, "Go and reply to the queen." β
"Yes, slave and maid know."
The palace on a rainy day has a feeling of extreme loneliness, although this feeling is not lonely, but it inexplicably makes Chi Chi Chi sitting on the sedan chair feel more complicated.
There is always a sense of helplessness that the storm has come.
Halfway through her sedan chair, she saw a person walking in the rain not far away.
The man wore the flying fish suit of Dongchang, and the dark lines were exquisite and luxurious, as if he was not inferior to the costume of any master in this palace.
But his steps are obviously the steps that only a slave can take, fast and steady.
It is completely different from those masters in this palace who have to rest their strength after taking two steps.
It's already time for the sedan to get down.
He also followed a waiting eunuch to give him an umbrella, and he had already put on his sleeves and gave him a slight blessing, "Greetings to His Highness." β
Chi Chi felt that it seemed that he hadn't seen Cao Ting heal for a long time.
Although it was only the first two days, it may be because she was seriously injured, which made her a little in a trance.
At this time, I saw him with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, as if he had seen him in front of people countless times before.
Somehow, Chi Chi's heart was shocked.
I couldn't make this storm blow again.
"Why are thousands of households coming here in the rain at this time?"
Cao Tingyue raised his eyes and glanced at her, and saw that she was not looking good, and she was also weak when she sat on the sedan chair and spoke, as if she was really reluctant.
He pursed his lips, "The slave is ordered to do things." β
It's hard to say, I don't think it's the matter of the East Factory, or the order directly sent by the emperor.
Chi Chi hummed, and said, "The rain is going to be heavy, so Qianhu should go back early to take shelter." β
Cao Ting replied, and said, "But I don't know where His Highness is going with such a big storm." β
Chi Chi's eyelashes twitched, and she said, "I ......" Her voice softened.
In fact, not all the people here are slow people, at least not the eunuchs who carry the sedan chair.
There are many eyes and ears around her, so she can't act like she has nothing to do, so she can only smile reluctantly, "I'm going to visit my mother." β
But there's nothing that can't be said about this.
It's just that Cao Tingyue heard this, and his eyebrows couldn't help but regroup, and then he glanced at Chi Chi Chi again, and then said, "The wind and rain are so strong, even if Your Highness is worried about Niangniang, you can go another day." There's no hurry. β
This is his reminder and exhortation.
Because of these people around him, that's all he can say.
Chi Chi didn't know what he meant, he came back to the palace with all the hard work, and earned such a big face, he shouldn't have just dispersed.
But it's one thing she knows, it's another thing to really do it.
At least for the time being, she wouldn't.
Chi Chi has an axis that no one else hasβalthough I've praised her for being flexible.
But in fact, Cao Tingyue also knew that she was so anxious to rush to visit Concubine Jing on the first day of returning to the palace, in fact, she also wanted to give an explanation to herself.
Tell yourself that even though she has done a lot of things that she is reluctant to do, she is still the original Princess Jinyang.
Chi Chi hummed, "Thank you Qianhu for your concern." β
That's the insistence on going.
In fact, Cao Ting expected it earlier, because if she was just like those idle women, blindly looking at those powerful positions and optimistic about the pros and cons of the moment, then she would not be late.
I probably wouldn't have given her so many expressions.
It's because she's like this, so she makes herself soft-hearted.
Cao Tingyue was already inconvenient to say more, and was about to retire, but he couldn't help but say more before leaving, "The road is slippery on a rainy day, and His Royal Highness has not recovered from his serious injuries, please take care of yourself." β
Chi Chi nodded, and Ah Wei hurriedly said, "Let's go." β
Cao Ting stepped aside more and more, but only bowed over and watched the sedan chair drive away.
On the side, Ji Lin shook the umbrella in his hand and sprinkled all the raindrops that were about to fall, "Thousands of households ......"
Cao Ting came back to his senses, didn't look at Chi Chi's side again, and said in a deep voice, "Go." β
The sedan chair swayed for a long time, and Ah Wei understood that even Cao Tingyue couldn't block His Highness's way, but he was afraid that this cold palace would be a must-go today.
The cold palace was deep and lonely, and the withered yellow leaves at the door were almost turned into mud by the wind and rain, which made it even more embarrassing and desolate.
In the cold palace on a rainy day, there seems to be no more frightening place than here.
Ah Wei helped Chi Chi off the sedan chair, Chi Chi took the umbrella in her hand, and ordered in a deep voice, "Wait for me outside, I'll just go in by myself." β
Awei was not at ease, "Your Highness...... Here, let's ask the slave to accompany you in. β
She is not in good health, she is reluctant to walk two steps, she can't get out of the bed originally, and now she is still letting her go in by herself, how can she do it?
What's more, I don't know what it looks like yet.
But Chi Chi just pursed his lips and shook his head.
In the matter of Concubine Jing, Chi Chi showed unprecedented stubbornness and difficulty in speaking.
Regardless of whether what you say makes sense or not, she just doesn't want to listen to it, she just has her own ideas.
In fact, Awei doesn't know, for more than ten years, he has been delayed in entering and leaving this cold palace alone.
She is also used to it, the palace maids before felt that the palace was cold, and they felt that it was gloomy here, and they refused to take a step closer.
stayed in the pavilion and waited for a long time, even if she was still young at that time, she had to let herself cross the high threshold of the cold palace and enter by herself.
And Chi Chi was also worried that there would be a fresh face to collide with Concubine Jing, that person's emotions were already very fragile, but I was afraid that he couldn't stand the stimulation a little longer.
The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier.
Chi Chi said, "Go and wait for me in the pavilion in front." β
Of course Awei refused, "The slave maid is waiting for His Highness here." β
Chi Chi glanced at her, "Obedient, this is my mother's place, what can happen to me." β
That's hard to say, although Awei didn't dare to say it, but he thought so in his heart.
This is the place where crazy people are, they are all crazy people, and what kind of reason can there be.
I'm afraid it's possible that I can't even recognize His Highness.
Chi Chi only said, "Are you going to disobey me?" β
Ah Wei's eyes instantly turned red, "The slave doesn't dare." β
Chi coughed, "Then let's go." She held an umbrella for herself, and stepped over the threshold of the cold palace and walked inside.
The rain was heavy, and a curtain of rain fell between Chi Chi and Awe, and Awei was too worried.
But she actually knew that the master she served seemed to have always been such a person.
She lowered her eyes, did not dare to look again, and retreated with everyone to the pavilion that Chi Chi had said.
Ah Wei listened to the sound of the rain, and just kept praying in his heart to bless our master safe and sound, so that he could come out well.
And when they entered the cold palace for a long time, the grandmothers and eunuchs who were originally serving here didn't know where they went to hide from the rain and eat wine, but no one found out that the cold palace had entered the palace.
Chi pulled his lips, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
She walked very slowly, the wound was painful, and she could only inhale in small breaths.
The weather is colder, and it is much colder inside the cold palace than outside.
She just lowered her eyebrows and pushed the door open.
pushed open the door and locked the door of Concubine Jing for more than ten years.
