On this snowy night, many people had no intention of sleeping, Murong Mian was one, Concubine Rui was one, and even the emperor in the Chengde Palace was too, he tossed and turned on the bed, and finally sat up and called someone to bring tea in.

The palace maid on duty at night immediately cheered up and sent the tea in, the emperor leaned on the head of the bed, absentmindedly took the teacup, bowed his head and took a sip, was burned, was furious, and threw the teacup to the ground. On the ink-colored floor tiles, a piece of snow-white porcelain was broken, and the tea leaves were spilled far away.

The emperor was furious, and the palace maid immediately knelt on the ground, trembling all over: "The slave is guilty!" ”

There was such a big commotion, someone outside the door probed, but he didn't dare to go in, the emperor raised his voice to call people, "Drag it out and beat me hard!" ”

The emperor is a benevolent monarch, and he has always been kind to the people around him, but he is not without losing his temper, he said that he was beaten hard, that is, until he was killed, the palace maid was anxious when he heard it, and he didn't care about not making noise in the inner court, and cried at the top of his voice: "The emperor spares his life, spare the slave and maid this time, the emperor spares his life......"

The chief steward Gao Shenghai hurried over and glanced at the little eunuch on the side, and the two little eunuchs immediately dragged the crying palace maid out.

"Your Majesty," Gao Shenghai bowed and observed him cautiously, "the servant will let someone serve tea again." ”

The emperor was silent, waved his hand half-loudly, "No need," paused for a moment, and then said, "Let Qiu Ling go, she will be out of the palace after the New Year, don't embarrass her at this moment." ”

"The emperor is kind-hearted, worthy of being the emperor today," Gao Shenghai smiled, glanced at him, and said, "The emperor is worried about the queen's phoenix body?" ”

The Emperor sighed, "In winter, the Empress's health is getting worse and worse, and I am really worried." ”

The emperor and queen are young husband and wife, married at the age of fourteen, the relationship is extraordinary, according to the convention, in January, the days left for the queen to sleep are only the fifteenth or two days of the first month, but the emperor does not care about those, except for a few high-ranking concubines, the concubines below are almost all widows, to enjoy them to enjoy the glory and wealth, in order to let their fathers and brothers take care of the country for him, and they have no husband and wife relationship. He slept in the queen's palace most of the time, or took the queen to his bedroom to sleep.

The queen's status is noble, although she favors the middle palace alone, the people below dare not chew her tongue, the original emperor and queen are married couples, and the love of husband and wife is a virtue of humanity. The queen has been ill for many years, and she is unable to do anything on the *, but the emperor not only does not abandon her, but takes care of her more wholeheartedly. But when he heard that the queen's condition was worsening, he was so worried that he could not sleep and eat.

The queen probably blew the wind at night, and when she was sent back to Fengming Palace, her face was very bad. The emperor ordered someone to ask the doctor to come and see him, and he got better after taking the pills, but the emperor did not stay as usual, and instructed Liu Fu, the head of Fengming Palace, to say a few words, and then returned to Chengde Palace.

At that time, Gao Shenghai felt that something was wrong, he was also present about the rockery, and others may not have paid attention to it, but Emperor Long Yuan was with him, and the moment he bumped into the King of Chu and the Empress, he clearly saw that there was a cold light in the emperor's eyes that was fleeting.

Because the emperor often summoned the king of Chu to the south study to discuss matters, the queen was often there, and the uncle and sister-in-law were very familiar with each other, and they met halfway to say a few words, but it was nothing, but why did they want to go to the rockery, or at that time, this can't help but make people suspicious.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the old slave, although the queen has been ill for a long time, she is a blessed person and will definitely be fine."

The Emperor was silent for a moment and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's already ugly, you can sleep again."

The emperor pondered for a moment, "Early tomorrow morning, you will go to the Zhanghe Hall to send the King of Chu over." ”

"Your Majesty, the King of Chu has already left the palace."

The emperor was stunned, "Out of the palace?" When? ”

"Not long after you sent your mother back to Fengming Palace, the prince of Chu took the princess of Chu out of the palace and returned to the house, about five o'clock."

"Isn't the palace gate under the key at three moments? How do they get out? ”

"This ......" Gao Shenghai snorted and didn't dare to answer.

He didn't answer, the emperor also knew that the forbidden army in the palace was under the control of the king of Chu, and it was just a matter of one sentence that he wanted to enter or exit, and the palace gate was under the key, if there was no urgency, even he, the emperor, would not dare to ask someone to open the door without authorization, for fear of breaking the rules, the king of Chu was good, and he would go in and out like no one.

He waved his hand, "You go down, I'll sleep again." ”

Gao Shenghai hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty, did you send someone to the Chu King's Mansion early in the morning to invite the King of Chu to ......?"

"No need, I think about it, I'm not in a hurry about it, he will go to court tomorrow, let's talk about it then."

Gao Shenghai responded, stepped forward to serve the emperor to lie down, and folded the quilt before retreating softly.

——

Under the four bright glass lamps, the silver knife cut down, blood burst out, Bai Qianfan's forehead instantly sweated, she bit a handkerchief in her mouth, she didn't snort a sound, she knew that as soon as she made a sound, Murong Mian would be chaotic.

The knife went down, the skin opened and the flesh opened, she bared her teeth in pain, but Murong Mian's face was more ugly than her, under the light, her face was miserable, but her two eyes were black and transparent, staring at the wound for a moment, the sweat on her forehead was dripping, and she was holding a handkerchief to wipe it for him from time to time.

The green lotus took the small bowl and took it below, and the dark yellow pus flowed out of the wound and slowly flowed into the small bowl.

Qihong mixed Jinchuang medicine into a paste with warm water, soaked the soft silk yarn in the medicinal juice, put it on the side for later use, and handed over the sorghum wine, Murong Mian glanced at Bai Qianfan, suddenly ripped off the handkerchief in her mouth, and pressed her head on her shoulder, "It will hurt a little, you can't help but bite me." ”

"No, I don't ......"

"Let you bite, bite," he said in a commanding tone, the cold was bitter, he felt all her pain, no, the pain should be double that of hers, if she didn't bite, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the pain.

Bai Qianfan's eyes were misty, afraid that he would see it, so he quickly lowered his head and put his face on his shoulder.

Murong Mian dipped a tampon in sorghum wine and swirled in the wound, Bai Qianfan's body shook, the whole person trembled in pain, and his lips pressed against his shoulder and made a subtle um-huh sound.

"Bite me!" Murong Mian let out a low roar, Bai Qianfan was so painful that his internal organs almost moved, instinctively obeyed him, and bit him on the shoulder.

Through the thin middle coat, the sharp teeth seeped into the flesh, and the slightest pain finally relieved the pain in his heart. He quickly shoved the soft silk veil soaked in the medicine into her wound, which had already rotted a hole the size of a bowl, and it took two silk veils to fill the hole where the rotten flesh had been cut.

The cool medicinal yarn was filled in, Bai Qianfan felt better, let go of her lips, and found that her mouth was filled with a fishy sweet taste, and she realized that she had bitten Murong Mian's shoulder.

She blinked, and tears fell and dripped onto Murong Mian's shoulder.

"Doesn't it hurt?" He asked her in a low voice.

Bai Qianfan shook his head, "I bit you." ”

"Silly girl, I don't hurt." He took a deep breath, ignored the surprised gaze of the girl next to him, lowered his head and kissed her hard.
