When Ying'e woke up, she saw herself lying on the bed in the Jiafu Palace, Imperial Physician Zhao led two assistants to study the prescription, several palace maids under the steps whispered to each other, and the eunuch Fang Gengyi reprimanded a little eunuch with frizzy hands and feet. The room was full of medicinal gas, and Ying'e felt suffocated, coughed twice, and struggled to get up.

Sai Wan heard the sound and approached to see that she was awake, "Niangniang, you are awake, Imperial Doctor Zhao hurried to see the queen." ”

Imperial Physician Zhao immediately turned out of the case, took out a silk handkerchief and put it on Ying'e's wrist, trumpeted the pulse, and said in a moment, "The queen's health is fine, but the weather is cold and windy, so it's good to recuperate these days." Xia Guan will prescribe a prescription for the queen to moisten the lungs, and the queen's cough will be better. ”

Ying'e stood up, feeling a tight headache, and Sai Wan saw this and massaged the acupuncture points for her to relieve. "Niangniang, Concubine Mi has been guarding you in the palace for three days."

"Concubine Mi?" Ying'e was like a memory loss, trying to evoke her own memories, when she saw Qihua in a gorgeous costume standing in front of her to say goodbye, all the grievances, anger, and humiliation instantly rushed to her head, she tried her best to snatch the medicine bowl brought by Sai Wan, and smashed it violently, and the medicine juice splashed with the broken bowl. The moment a piece of fragment hit the ground, it bounced up and injured Qi Wan's cheek, she hurriedly covered it with a "ah", Imperial Physician Zhao wanted to step forward to check the injury, but was stopped by Ying'e, "Imperial Physician Zhao, you step down." Qihua, this palace treats you well, and even treats you as a sister, and there is no difference between dignity and humility when getting along with you in private. If you want to serve the emperor, tell the palace directly, why did you secretly betray the palace? ”

Qi Yu slowly raised her head, slowly put down the hand covering her face, got up by herself, walked to the mirror to look at the injury on her face, took out the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the blood on her face and hands. She looked around coldly, waved her hand and told everyone to retreat, but everyone obeyed the order to exit and close the door of the temple. Only the two of their former master and servant were left inside, and Qiwan walked to Ying'e's couch step by step. The blood marks on that clear face were so dazzling, although it was not serious, but there was still blood slowly oozing out, but those eyes had faded away from the humility and deference they once had, and every word that Sakura said lightly made Ying'e feel a chill on her back, "Queen, did you forget that Yaoguang Temple abandoned me?" Or have you forgotten the torture I suffered for you in the Dali Temple? How have I treated you for so many years than you have treated me? ”

Ying'e didn't expect that she was still worried about what happened in Yaoguang Temple back then, "This palace has already told you back then, didn't I abandon you and go, didn't this palace go back?" ”

"Huh, huh? At that time, I almost believed it, and when I believed it, I believed that the queen regarded me as a sister. Does the queen believe in herself? If you didn't need a helper in this house, would you choose a slave to be your sister? That Erzhu Qingjiao is your sister, what am I? It's just a lowly person who was implicated by his family and sentenced to be a slave, you were for Empress Dowager Hu back then, so I'm willing to help you. But what did I get in the end, you forgot your promise, that is, now that I am a queen, my father's grievances have not been redressed, and I am still a slave. In terms of background and family background, if my father was not killed by Gao Zhao, I could have been selected as a concubine, how could I be inferior to you. Qi Wan released the grievances that had been suppressed in her heart for many years, she was aggressive, and the angry Ying'e lay on the pillow panting, unwilling to stop, "Maybe you don't know one thing, when my father was still on the throne, he visited King Pengcheng, and the two cherished each other because of their dissatisfaction with Gao Zhao. At that time, I was just three years old, and my father agreed to King Pengcheng that if Princess Li had another child, he would marry his sons and daughters, and Princess Li later had the current emperor, but my Ru family was defeated, and no one mentioned this matter again. I have known about this since I was a child, I have always secretly admired the emperor, and the emperor also helped me live in this harem because of this relationship. Do you know, when you entered the cold palace back then, Sai Wan was reluctant to follow, and it was the emperor who asked me to serve you, because you wanted the queen mother to live, and the emperor hoped more. ”

"So, this palace has been calculated by you step by step? You hate this palace, not because this palace did not fulfill its promise, but because you resented this palace for becoming the emperor's wife. The promise that the palace can't fulfill, why don't you let the emperor go to rehabilitate your father today? Ying'e said.

Qiwan sat in front of Ying'e's couch and looked at her, "Because your Erzhu family is hindering the emperor everywhere, the emperor's top priority now is to stabilize the regime, and I have time to wait for the day when the emperor rehabilitates my father." ”

Ying'e sneered, "It turns out that you not only suspect that this palace occupies the queen's position, but also want to kill the father of this palace." You can't talk to the palace, let the emperor come up to see the palace, and the palace wants him to say it himself. ”

Seeing that Ying'e was coughing badly, Qi Wan got up and poured her a glass of warm water, and handed it to her, "The queen still drinks saliva slowly, the emperor still has feelings for you, so I didn't give my canonization will, if the queen goes to make trouble with the emperor again, maybe the emperor will be angry, and this will be made." You'll regret it even more, then, Queen. ”

"You go out of the palace, Sai Xuan, Fang Geng, drive this slut out of the palace. Someone's coming. Ying'e called loudly, but there was no movement outside the door, and Ying'e suddenly understood, "Do you want to put this palace under house arrest?" ”

Qi Wan said slowly, "This is what the emperor meant, I am afraid that the queen's grievances will be known to the general of the Zhu Kingdom, and the general is worried about the queen, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Also, General Xi Yi's wife was killed by General Zhu Guo not long ago, and there were more than 20 people in the house, because General Xi was loyal to the emperor. After the emperor was shocked to hear about this, he showed kindness to General Xi, and it happened that he was widowed and had been in love with Sai Wan for a long time, and the emperor had mercy on the two to marry. As for Fang Geng, who is on an errand in my Huiyin Hall from today, Aunt Qiu, the palace maid of Empress Xuanwushun of the previous dynasty, will come to Jiafu Hall to serve the queen. ”

Ying'e pointed to the door and said, "Get out, you all get out of the palace, the palace doesn't need to be served." ”

Qi Qian Qian got up, "The emperor is waiting for me in the Huiyin Palace, I still let Imperial Doctor Zhao diagnose and treat my face, otherwise the emperor will see and ask, I really don't know whether to say it or not." Queen, you have a good rest, if there is anything missing, let Aunt Qiu report to me, Qihua will retire. ”

"Get out, get out." Ying'e angrily grabbed the pillow on the couch and threw it, but because of too much force, she fell off the bed and hit the ground with her elbows, and the pain instantly spread all over her body.

Qihua turned around and opened the door and went out, a middle-aged palace maid was waiting outside the door, Qihua called her, "Aunt Qiu, the queen has a stubborn personality and doesn't let people help her." Just now, the queen's bowl of medicine was splashed by the queen, you go and fry a bowl for the queen, so you can wait for it. ”

Aunt Qiu said expressionlessly, "Yes, Concubine Mi." ”

Watching the palace door close in front of her eyes, Ying'e felt that her heart had fallen into an ice cave, and the bone-chilling cold with a spike-like stinging pain solidified her tears, and she suddenly felt that she wanted to cry desperately, and she couldn't even howl. She supported her red and swollen arms, and crawled to the side of the bed little by little, and after several efforts, she couldn't get up, and she was weakly paralyzed on the side of the bed. At this time, a pair of dry but powerful hands behind her pulled her up violently, lifted her upper body half to the bed, and gently put her feet flat, without waiting for Ying'e to speak, he rolled up Ying'e's sleeves, watched Ying'e's elbows be red and swollen, turned around and ran out of the door, came in with hot water for a while, and gave her a hot compress. Ying'e looked at this woman named Aunt Qiu, but at the age of forty, her hair was already gray, and there was a suffocating silence hidden under the deep wrinkles, and there was no trace of light in her cold black eyes, and the upward arc of the corners of her mouth should have been a smile, but she couldn't squeeze out a trace of warmth on Aunt Qiu's face. "Auntie, thank you."

Aunt Qiu let out a "hmm" in her throat, and quickly brought the medicine from the table, "Drink." I couldn't help but stuff it directly into Ying'e's hand, and squeezed out two words, "I want to live." Then he watched Ying'e finish drinking, served her and lay down, Ren Ying'e asked what to say without saying a word, and after serving, she closed the door and retreated.

Ying'e felt that she was prostration, she didn't have time to care about a slave who didn't say a word, her mind was full of the picture of the Japanese Ziyu and Qihua flirting, she shook her head in pain, but she couldn't shake off those clips, and she couldn't hide the lewd laughter in her ears. Yes, she wants to live, live well, she wants to ask face to face, whether the man she has loved for more than ten years is only a tool, saving the queen mother back then, and now she is protecting the country for him, and after using it, she kicked it away, and finally knew that he and his slave were a pair of beautiful people. She suddenly felt that she was humble and ridiculous, and she always thought that she was pretending to be the best head, and she was the most eye-catching protagonist, she wore a phoenix robe to write about the country, but in the end she acted in a farce. Ying'e untied the clothes on her chest hard, the suffocation made her almost suffocated, and at this moment she wanted to use the pain to forget the heartbreak, at least much better than what she could do now. She gradually felt that her eyes were heavy, and after everything in front of her was blurred, she finally closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, it turned out that Aunt Qiu had added an extra medicine to the medicine to calm her nerves.

In the next few days, although Ying'e couldn't see Aunt Qiu's smile every day, and couldn't hear her say a word to herself, she saw Aunt Qiu being busy every day, but she had an inexplicable trust in her. The palace door of Jiafu Hall is closed every day, and the passing of the days makes Ying'e's desire to see Yuan Ziyou more and more intense, she can endure Yuan Xu's ignorance of her back then, and even live in the cold palace with joy, because it is a marriage book without emotion. She loves Yuan Ziyou, Qi Wan's words stung her all the time, she wanted to know if Yuan Ziyou had ever loved her, and whether the flute outside the cold palace was played for her or Qi Yu. Every time she thought about this, her heart was infinitely tormented, she patted the palace door to ask to see Yuan Ziyou, but her hope was extinguished by the cold words of the guards outside the door, "Queen Mother, the emperor let you recuperate." If you need to eat, let Aunt Qiu do it directly. At this time, Aunt Qiu would come and help her into the room and say, "Queen, you don't have to let others see the joke, the emperor will come when he should come." Ying'e wanted to say a few more intimate words to her, so she turned around and went to work, muttering, "There is only one slave in such a big palace, and the clothes have not been washed." ”

At this time, Yuan Ziyou did not have half a day of leisure, and now Ge Rong's general Han Dong revolted again and occupied Youzhou, Xing Gao has captured Jinan, and Wan Qian Chounu defeated Xiao Baoyin, Cui Yanbo and other Great Wei generals and controlled most of Guanlong. The Great Wei War broke out everywhere, and the ridiculous thing was that it was Er Zhurong and Yuan Tianmu who he deliberately wanted to eradicate like a beast of the town and the country that suppressed the uprising and kept the Great Wei not divided. Yuan Ziyou had to admit the military level of Er Zhurong and Yuan Tianmu, and the good news came one after another, but he couldn't let go of it when he looked at it. Wen Zisheng advocated that Erzhu Rongjun's military power should be taken back and replaced by Yuanziyou's pro-party, but Li Yu laughed at his scholarly opinion, thinking that which general under Erzhu Rongjun would easily accept the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and even if it was recovered, there was no suitable commander of the army now. Under the expression of their opinions, there was no conclusion, and when Yuan Ziyou was restless, Yuan Yu brought another bad news from Daliang. Emperor Xiao Yan of the Great Liang Dynasty established Yuanhao, the king of the Beihai Sea, as the king of Wei, with the year name Xiaoji, and lived in the city of Gongcheng in Southern Yanzhou. And appointed Chen Qingzhi, a Confucian general known for his surprise attack, as a false festival and a brave general, and led 7,000 men and horses to escort Yuan Hao back to the north, and Yuan Hao awarded Chen Qingzhi the envoy to hold the festival, the general of Zhenbei, the protector army, and the governor of the former army, and the army has set off from Gong County and went straight to the Great Wei.

Yuan Ziyou said angrily, "This Yuan Hao also dares to be called the King of Wei, just with his seven thousand men?" What can be done? Who is willing to exterminate this rebel party? ”

Yuan Yu said, "Your Majesty, this Yuan Hao is only a shallow learner, and it is difficult to succeed." However, this Chen Qingzhi led the troops at the age of 41, although his body was weak and he could not even open an ordinary bow and crossbow, but he was a first-class general who was brave and strategic, he governed the army strictly, and was deeply loved by his subordinates. Thinking that the Xuzhou Assassin Shi Yuan failed to rebel, he surrendered to Daliang in Pengcheng, and asked Xiao Yan to send troops to respond, and Xiao Yan sent Chen Qingzhi. Later, Chen Qingzhi served as General Xuanmeng and Wende Commander, and led 2,000 people to send Yuzhang Wang Xiaozong into the town of Xuzhou. The first emperor sent his ministers and Anfeng Wang Yuan Yanming to set up fortifications with 20,000. After the great victory of our army, Xiao Zong surrendered to our dynasty at night. The Liang army was in turmoil, and our army took advantage of the situation to enter Pengcheng, pursued the victory, and recaptured the city that had been captured before. In this battle, the Liang army lost seven or eight out of ten, and only all the troops under Chen Qingzhi's command survived, and the subordinates had to submit. Later, there was an exchange with Chen Qingzhi in Daliang, this person is not a general, but he has a general strategy, his personality is only cautious, the number of soldiers at each rate is not much, but he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and the emperor must not underestimate the enemy. ”

Yuan Ziyou groaned, "If King Linhuai goes to face the battle, will there be a chance of winning?" ”

Yuan Yu thought about it, "Your Majesty, it's not that the old ministers are afraid of war, but now there are no available soldiers in the imperial court, and the soldiers and horses brought by the newly surrendered generals Gao Qian and Gao Gao have been taken by Yuan Tianmu to Hebei to quell the chaos." The brave generals who could compete with Chen Qingzhi were all under the command of Er Zhurong and Yuan Tianmu, and the rest of the soldiers were superior in number, but in terms of refinement, they could not compete with Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 people. The emperor is afraid that he will borrow the hand of Er Zhurong to calm the chaos in the world first, and then plan later. Now that the queen has been grounded for half a month, the emperor and queen are not in harmony, which is detrimental to the dynasty, the emperor, it's time to go and see the queen. ”

Yuan Ziyu let out a long sigh, "Okay, Rong Zhen thinks about it again, Zhu Aiqing should retreat first, I'm tired." ”

Yuan Yu saw that Yuan Ziyou's mind was touched, so he no longer persuaded anything, and led the ministers to retreat, leaving Yuan Ziyou to sit alone and ponder.
