This sentence used to be the common direction of him and Jiang Wan.

It was Jiang Wan who made great achievements for him.

It is the magnificent mountains and rivers that he promised to his beloved woman.

The eight words were once the most touching stories of the Nine Immortals, but now they have become absurdity covered by the ice and snow of Shengjing in Nanhuai.

She is the bright moon, and he is the bright galaxy.

It symbolizes that Yinglang and Wanwan, although they have gone through the darkest and eventful years, are still like the stars and moons that accompany each other and reflect each other in the night sky, never letting go of each other's clasped hands, and becoming the eternal light and guidance on each other's way forward.

Together, they have created countless miracles and glories.

They were the envy of the world's emperors and queens.

At the peak of glory, there was also a brief time to compare and embrace.

The hot heart has also closely coincided and blended.

But eventually. Still separated.

The young emperor was shocked by this sentence, and in the hazy mist, Jiang Wan seemed to see the tears in Qi Ying's eyes, which flashed away, as if it were just her illusion.

He leaned over to Jiang Wan, very close, his snort swept across his cheeks, and the chest that was pressed under the hot spring water, Qi Ying stared at her for a long time, his eyes could not be said to be disappointed or lonely, he did not drop his lips, but suddenly let go of his hand and fled to a place some distance away from Jiang Wan.

Qi Ying's voice was very soft, but Jiang Wan still heard him say, "You are not her." ”

The one who wants to help him rule the world, who can help him rule the world, left him.

Jiang Wan didn't say anything more, and after the fatigue and illness on her body got used to the warmth of the hot spring, she turned into a monster that was crazy and wantonly clinging to bones, pulling and devouring Jiang Wan's consciousness little by little.

The strength was unloaded in an instant, and he couldn't even climb the shore.

When she fainted and fell into the hot spring water, Jiang Wan felt that her heart stopped beating, and darkness enveloped her in an instant, fortunately, the moment she fell into the water, Qi Ying had already gotten up and scooped Jiang Wan up.

She leaned into the crook of her arm, and this time she really couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed.

is just this broken body, and you still want to boast about Haikou to help him?

Qi Ying pulled Jiang Wan's long wet hair and frowned.

He shouted out to Chang Zhong, but Chang Zhong didn't dare to lean in, so he could only stand outside the screen.

"Find some palace maids and send Concubine Jing back."

I don't know if it's sick or weak, or if it's really because his punishment is too much, in short, looking at Jiang Wan who fainted for the second time in front of her, Qi Ying suddenly lost the interest in continuing to torture her.

She was wrapped in a quilt and carried away, half of her face that was not warm in the hot springs was exposed, still white and cold, Qi Ying's brows furrowed a little tighter, and she raised her fingers slightly to drive the splash: "Find a doctor and show her." ”

Changzhong hurriedly responded, the wind was cold outside, and the quilt should be covered with a head, so as not to fall into a headache, at night, the sedan chair was carried back to the Mei Xi Palace, and slept for three days, the Mei Xi Palace was originally staring at countless pairs of eyes, at this time it was the time when the palaces were ready to rest, the sedan chair just came out of the Golden Pond Palace, and the news spread in the harem like a bird flying out of the cage.

The little eunuch outside the Yunde Palace walked quickly through the corridor with small steps, and finally knelt down in front of the thick curtain that was warmly illuminated: "Empress Dowager Qi, Concubine Jing has returned to the palace." ”

There was no movement inside, and there was no sound of reply, and the kneeling little eunuch did not dare to move, and bowed his head.

After a long time, a black figure was faintly seen by the curtain: "Why did you go back suddenly?" ”

"The minion doesn't know, but... The emperor asked a doctor to pass to Concubine Jing to see. The little eunuch hurriedly replied.

When the figure heard this, he immediately turned around and went to bed, and when he reached the Queen Mother, who had already laid down to recuperate, he whispered the words again.

Chu Shi, who was recuperating through the bed curtain, slowly opened her eyes, her temples were already a little gray, she had worked hard in her early years, even if she was the queen mother, she was now old, she pinched the fingers of the Buddha beads and stopped, leaned on the golden silk soft pillow and turned her face slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Since the emperor asked the imperial doctor to show her, let the imperial doctor take care of it." ”

The aunt standing next to the Queen Mother was in her early forties, her hair was combed neatly and tied behind her head with a rosewood hairpin.

She raised her eyes, understood the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, and retreated with a little blessing.

.

When night came, the candlesticks on the main palace roads were still bright.

Shuncai walked fast, stopping from time to time to wait for the panting and sweating of the Xu Taiyi who was urging him to go: "I'm bothering you to hurry up, my mother can't wake up in a coma, and her body has been shivering, and she is very cold. ”

Mrs. Xu hurriedly responded: "Yes. . . Father-in-law leads the way. ”

The emperor told Concubine Jing to see a doctor, but he didn't dare to slack off.

The aunt beside the Queen Mother came quietly again, and he was even more terrified.

It's really bad luck to be on duty tonight.

Finally rushed to the Meixi Palace, and the green plum Lamei in the courtyard was busy, and it was obvious that she had bumped into Imperial Doctor Xu.

Jingyue put the hot soup woman between Jiang Wan's feet, wrapped the quilt tightly and didn't care about wiping the sweat, reached out and touched Jiang Wan's hand in the quilt - she didn't tremble, but the body temperature was still warm, the carbon fire in the room was so hot, she and the two girls were all sweating, Jiang Wan was wrapped in a thick quilt, and she barely warmed up.

"It's that hot?"

Shuncai lifted the curtain and invited Imperial Physician Xu in, the cold wind was blowing outside, and as soon as the curtain opened, it was hot and hot, which made Imperial Physician Xu subconsciously mutter.

Jing Yue turned around and saw that the imperial doctor was coming, so she hurriedly got up and lowered the bed curtain, leaving only a small opening at her wrist.

She stared at the movements of Imperial Physician Xu's hands, frowning anxiously, and it was difficult to ask.

During the day, Yin Zhengshan said that Jiang Wan's body is different now, he has never seen this kind of pulse, and Imperial Doctor Xu naturally will not see it.

At this point, Jingyue still believes in Yin Zhengshan more.

Now she only hopes that Imperial Physician Xu can administer needles to make Jiang Wan wake up and warm up, otherwise the charcoal stove will burn again, and she will have to set the Mei Xi Palace on fire.

Staying in this room, after a while, Imperial Doctor Xu was also so hot that he wiped his sweat.

But after looking at it for a while, I didn't see anything except that Jiang Wan's pulse was weaker than that of ordinary people.

Unable to figure out the symptoms, Imperial Doctor Xu could only determine that Jiang Wan was born with a cold body, and she was so hot that she couldn't stay still, so she simply started to give Jiang Wan an injection, and after a stick of incense, Jiang Wan finally opened her eyes.

Doctor Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered that Niangniang was too tired, what this meant, everyone knew it.

But the actual situation is far from the hard work pointed out by Mrs. Xu.

Jing Yue saw Imperial Physician Xu standing up with the medical box, and whispered: "Niangniang is working hard, and I hope that Imperial Physician will truthfully return to the emperor." ”

Imperial Physician Xu looked embarrassed, the emperor's bed should not have been interjected, but Concubine Jing was indeed ill, and she had to give up, so she could only nod and respond: "The minister should be in charge." Be honest. ”

While speaking, she had already arrived at the door, Jingyue patted Lamei's arm and asked her to quickly follow Taiyi Xu back to Tai Hospital to get medicine, and when she turned around and was about to ask Qingmei to give Jiang Wan a bed blanket again, she heard the sound of movement from inside, and she didn't care about opening her mouth, so she hurriedly walked to Jiang Wan's bedside.

She had already sat up with her body propped up, Jingyue helped her build a high pillow, and frowned: "Niangniang knows that she is unwell, why do you want to... ”

Jiang Wan pursed her lips and chuckled: "I shouldn't have to go in the future." ”

"Earlier, the slave maid went to the emperor to return to the court, and it was the same."

Jiang Wan shook her head: "How can it be the same when I see it and listen to others?" ”

Others seem to be the emperor of the three days, and she doesn't want to find a way to break Qi Ying's thoughts and confess her position, I'm afraid the next thing to face will not be so simple.

Now that he has been pushed to the forefront by Qi Ying, he has stood firm under the hurricane, and it is fortunate not to be swept into the abyss.

"Don't burn." Hearing the sound of carbon on Qingmei's side, Jiang Wan said with a side face and asked her to move the stove out, no matter how warm it was in this room, it couldn't warm her, but it was stuffy.

When Lamei came back with the medicine and boiled it up, Jiang Wan had already slept in a daze, and woke up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely.

.

She saw a man in her dreams.

It's her face that is relative to her every day.

But it's younger and younger than today's face, and it's shorter.

It was Song Yujiao when she was young.

In the dream, Song Yujiao slept on a recliner under the shade of a tree, and on the low table at hand was a crystal clear glass bowl, which seemed to be a fruit treasure, and there were still unfinished broken ice cubes floating.

It was supposed to be summer, a few cicadas chirped faintly in the distance, the wind seemed to be still, the shade of the trees blocked the sun, but it was still very warm.

Song Yujiao held a small fan in her hand, and it was lightly placed on her body at this time, shaking.

And Jiang Wan stood by the tree and looked at her, and when she tried to reach out and touch Song Yujiao, Jiang Wan found that her hand passed through Song Yujiao's body.

For a while, I didn't know whether she broke into Song Yujiao's memories or Song Yujiao's soul fell into her dreams.

But soon, the young Song Yujiao woke up.

She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes in a trance, forgetting that she had fallen asleep with a small group of fans, and as soon as her hand was released, the fan fell to the ground.

Then Song Yujiao's eyes looked at Jiang Wan's location, she was sleepy-eyed, and after blinking, she chuckled at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan was stunned, until someone behind her walked straight through her body and walked in front of Song Yujiao, Jiang Wan knew that the person Song Yujiao saw was not herself.

It was the back of a woman dressed in extraordinary luxury, with a phoenix hairpin on her head and embroidered with phoenix patterns on her body.

Jiang Wan heard Song Yujiao call her: "Queen Mother! ”

Then the woman said helplessly: "Drink less ice cups, make your stomach upset." ”

Song Yujiao laughed: "I'm hot~"

Hot?

Jiang Wan stretched out her hand and wanted to speak, but found that she couldn't speak at all, and the scene in front of her suddenly flew away from her, and the darkness shrouded her again, and without the light of the sun, her body was instantly covered by cold.

When he opened his eyes again, the pearl light around him was faint, and Jingyue stayed by the bed, leaning on the edge of the bed and already asleep.

If the content of her dream is really the memory that Song Yujiao left in this body before her death, then the young Song Yujiao is obviously not the broken body she is now.

She can also run and jump, and she is playful and moving.

In the summer, he would also fan and nap under the tree, and he would drink ice like other children.

After the death of the former empress of Dongshu, a lot must have happened.

Her meeting with Song Yujiao, although separated by life and death, and also separated from memory, although she failed to hold Song Yujiao's hand, Jiang Wan could really feel it in her dreams. The smiling Song Yujiao is warm.

Not as cold as she is now.

The memories and persistent nostalgia of the people and scenes in this body are like the cries and cries for help from Song Yujiao's soul before she died.

She had hoped that someone would pull her along, but in the end she had to choose to fall into hell forever.

That kind of desperation, Jiang Wan thought, she felt it.

.

Jingyue slept lightly, her hands were pillowing the quilt, Jiang Wan gently pulled, Jingyue opened her eyes, and when she saw that Jiang Wan was awake, she hurriedly reached out and touched Jiang Wan's hand, which was not too cold, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"The medicine has been boiled, the mother has drunk the medicine, and then go to sleep." Because of the silence in the middle of the night, Jingyue unconsciously lowered her voice when she spoke, she tightened the quilt for Jiang Wan, then got up to open the door, and called Lamei at the door to bring hot medicine.

When she arrived, Jiang Wan frowned and muttered, "What... Two bowls? ”

"Doctor Xu said, a bowl is to help sleep with fatigue, the mother needs to rest, and the other bowl is to keep the cold warm, which can suspend the cold of the mother's body." Lamei repeated Imperial Doctor Xu's words to Jiang Wan, and raised her eyes to look at Jingyue.

Jingyue also bowed her head, and casually took a bowl and handed it to her: "The medicine is bitter, Niangniang drink it." ”

Jiang Wan took a deep breath, knowing that she couldn't hide, she had shed a lot of blood during the bloody battle back then. I haven't really drunk much.

poured a bowl violently, so bitter that Jiang Wan retched, and almost threw the bowl out together.

While she hadn't eased up yet, her tongue was still wooden, Jing Yue hurriedly handed the second bowl to Jiang Wan: "Niangniang, go all out!" ”

Jiang Wan took it, her face was wrinkled, her eyes were closed, her heart was horizontal, she thought she could drink it all directly like just now, who knew that after taking a sip, her mouth was full of sour taste, Jiang Wan didn't continue to drink, frowned and stared at the bowl of medicine, and said in a deep voice: "The taste is not right." ”

Jingyue was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned to look at Lamei.

Jiang Wan's sentence was wrong, but Lamei's face turned pale in fright, she knelt down with a plop, and said anxiously: "Niangniang, this medicine is indeed handed over to the slave by Imperial Doctor Xu himself!" The slave maid has ten guts, and she doesn't dare to do anything in the mother's medicine! ”

"Niangniang, give the medicine to the slave, don't drink it." Jingyue took a deep breath, stretched out her hand and was about to take the medicine in Jiang Wan's hand and pour it, when she saw Jiang Wan suddenly raise her head and drink the remaining medicine in the bowl without a drop.

Then he handed the empty bowl to Jing Yue: "It's not a problem in our palace, go down, don't make a noise." ”

Jingyue held the empty bowl and said sadly: "Niangniang! Don't drink the medicine if it's wrong! ”

Jiang Wan moved her body and got into the quilt to wrap herself, revealing her eyes and blinking: "Why don't you drink?" ”

Jingyue choked.

Jiang Wan said again: "Who asked Imperial Doctor Xu to come?" ”

Jingyue choked again.

There is Qi Ying's clear order above, although this medicine is wrong, it will never be a harmful thing, don't look at the late night, the eyes in the palace are still staring at all the time, don't drink it?

"What does the emperor mean?" Jingyue spoke in a low voice, thoughtful.

Before he could start to think about it, he saw Jiang Wan shake his head: "It's not him." ”

Qi Ying really wants to reward her with a bowl of medicine, it won't be like this, just give it, it's all the emperor's favor.

Two bowls of medicine, two hands.

There are only two people in this palace who dare to give another order under Qi Ying's explicit order.

One is the late Empress Jingxian Hyo.

One is the Queen Mother of Yunde Palace's deep blessings.

On the third day of the Holy Family, the Queen Mother also rewarded her with a grace through Qi Ying's order, if Jiang Wan did not guess wrong, this should be a bowl of decoction to avoid the child.

But it doesn't matter if you guess it or not, tomorrow Yin Zhengshan will come to see the medicine residue, and he will naturally know.

Jiang Wan didn't say anything more, Jingyue didn't ask any more, and after leading Lamei out, Jiang Wan slept peacefully.

Early the next morning, hurried footsteps sounded in the Golden Pond Hall and the Yunde Palace.

Aunt Luo, who was waiting beside the Queen Mother, gently compressed her hands for the Queen Mother, and the little eunuch kneeling in front of her said rightly: "Empress Dowager Qi, Concubine Jing drank medicine yesterday." ”

At the same time, Chang Zhong, who was outside the Jinchi Palace, listened to the words of the visitor, walked quickly to Qi Ying's side, and whispered: "Your Majesty, yesterday the Empress Dowager gave Concubine Jing a bowl of medicine. ”

"She drank?" Qi Ying drew a red circle on the fold.

"Drunk." Chang Zhong bowed his head and heard the displeasure in Qi Ying's tone.

"She's honest now!" Qi Ying snorted, pulled the fold together, and threw it to the table, "Send this fold to the household!" Let him see! ”

Qi Ying suppressed the fire, and had no mind to batch the folds, and saw that Changzhong picked up the folds and patted them clean and put them in his sleeves, so he simply put down his pen and walked out.

"Your Majesty?" Qi Ying walked in front of Chang Zhong, and Chang Zhong hurriedly followed Qi Ying's footsteps, "Your Majesty, where are you going?" You wait for the minions. ”

Qi Ying glared at him sideways.

Chang Zhong didn't dare to ask again, his eyes rolled and thought for two seconds, and he said tentatively: "Yunde Palace? ”

Seeing that Qi Ying didn't glare at herself anymore, she shouted loudly: "The emperor is driving Yunde Palace!" ”

When Qi Ying's lifting stopped at the gate of Yunde Palace, the Queen Mother had just finished washing her hands, and the soft handkerchief wiped off the water, Qi Ying also happened to step into the door, and arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye.

"The son greets the queen mother." Qi Ying lifted her clothes and saluted, and without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, she got up and sat down.

"The emperor came just in time." The Queen Mother didn't see Qi Ying's actions, and after the palace maid on the side served tea, Qi Ying picked it up and drank it, not caring too much about what the Queen Mother was about to say, "The mourning family has something to discuss with the emperor." ”

"Well, the tea here has always been good." Qi Ying took two sips, raised her eyebrows, put down the teacup, and then raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother.

"I couldn't ask the emperor to come here, but now that the back seat is vacant and no one is in charge, the mourning family asked more, the draft that should have been held in the spring should have been held, but it was still done?" The Queen Mother spoke, raised her hand and took the Buddha beads handed by Aunt Luo, she seemed to play with the beads calmly, her eyes were withdrawn, and she did not look at Qi Ying again.

Qi Ying clenched her fists: "The queen has just died, where can I take care of festive things in the palace?" That's it. ”

The Queen Mother bowed her head and did not object.

After a while, he said: "Now there seem to be fewer intimate people around the emperor, and the mourning family is lined with thoughts, although the show is not necessary, but the emperor can't lack people around him to take care of him." ”

Qi Ying sneered, and followed the Queen Mother's words and said: "The queen mother thought about her son thoughtfully, and her son was moved. ”

"The Chu family is useless, the only thing that the mourning family can't rest assured about now is that your uncle entrusted Gu to the daughter-in-law of the mourning family, when he fought the war, your uncle was also a loyal martyr who threw his head and shed blood for the Great Jin Dynasty, he has been dead for so many years, and Miao'er has been raised in the royal courtyard outside the palace, and now it is sixteen." The Queen Mother sighed lightly, and when she mentioned this, she was quite sad, "The mourning family is old, and it's good to have someone around to talk to, this year's New Year's Day, let's take Miao'er into the palace, what does the emperor think?" ”

Qi Ying still pulled a smile and leaned forward: "What does the queen mother think, how is the concubine?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at Qi Ying, and after a while, she lowered her eyes slightly, and put the Buddha beads on the table: "The emperor will decide." ”

The Buddha beads put down and made a muffled sound, and the Queen Mother picked up the tea cup on the side, and the tea lid crossed the cup, making a crisp sound of collision: "The emperor seems to be respecting the concubine these days. Blue-eyed? ”

Qi Ying covered the gloomy and irritable eyes under her eyes, and replied casually: "Dongshu's face is not too ugly. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she chuckled: "The emperor is a person of great affection, a person of long-term affection, this is a good thing, if Princess Dongshu is in peace and gives some favor and decency, it is not impossible."

"It's just that the emperor is the king of a country, and he should have more people around him, so as not to be too affectionate after a long time."

"After all... Everyone in this world has their own position, has their own things to do, has their own burden to carry, the country can not be without a king for a day, the emperor's burden is to rule the world, the harem can not be without an owner for a day, the queen's burden is to bless the subjects, the emperor should take state affairs and social affairs as the priority, and should understand that now the phoenix seal is hanging in the air, how many eyes are staring in the harem, how many hands are stretched, there is no new master in Qionglin Palace for a day, so he is delusional for a day, at this time, the emperor's every move is even more involved in the center of the hurricane, I didn't want to ask about the mourning family in the future, but now in this harem, in addition to the mourning family. No one dared to ask. The Queen Mother held the tea cup and tasted it, and the moment she collided with Qi Ying's eyes, she hooked the corners of her lips, "It's indeed good tea." ”

This time, Qi Ying stopped laughing.

He suddenly sat up straight, and said solemnly: "What kind of character does the queen mother think can be compared to Wanwan?" ”

"Concubine Xian?"

"Concubine Ru?

"Or Concubine Qing?"

Qi Ying's tone suddenly became as sharp as a sword, and the sharp point pointed directly at the Queen Mother: "In the son's heart, no one can choose the position of queen." ”

"Ridiculous!" The Queen Mother put down the teacup suddenly, did not stabilize it, and fell directly to the ground and shattered, the sound was very loud, but no one in the huge palace dared to make a sound, and no one dared to come forward to clean up this mess.

"The mourning family has already told you that Jiang Wan is the most inappropriate candidate for the position of queen." The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said angrily, "Do you know where you are sitting?" This is the throne! It's the world! It's the top of 10,000 people! It is the pinnacle of Dajin power! On top of this peak, you can only be alone! Otherwise, the country is turbulent and the society is dying, how can we talk about a century-old foundation? ! ”

"The mourning family knows, Jiang Wan and you have known each other since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and the mourning family also knows that she is the first hero of the Great Jin Dynasty, fighting for you, and she is the person you promised for your life, but Jiang Wan is free and easy, unrestrained, she stands on the top of the harem, and you are on a par with the top of the mountains and rivers, looking at this Great Jin Dynasty, what is the result?" The Queen Mother twisted her eyebrows, and her tone had calmed down from excitement, "The result is that she has never understood the difficulty of the emperor, the difficulty of choice, the difficulty of balance, she has her own persistence and decisions, she has her own ideas and wishes, a temporary compromise will only bring endless troubles, she is a very good-hearted child, but as a queen, she is far from enough, this is the doomed ending from the beginning!" ”

"Not to mention Jiang Wan's influence? Above the court, how many of her old friends are there?! Military power, political power, how can her call be answered?! Dajin Jiangshan, half of the walls are surnamed Jiang! With such a monstrous power, how can the king allow others to sleep soundly by his pillow?! The Queen Mother's words were harsh, she had said such things to Qi Ying countless times in the past, but Qi Ying had never really listened to it and understood.

Now that Jiang Wan has passed away, it's time to tell him these words clearly.

The phoenix position in the middle palace, how can it deter the imperial power?!

Qi Ying stood up suddenly, his clenched fists trembled slightly, and after a while, he let go of his hand, and looked at the Queen Mother with slightly red eyes, he wanted to say, if Jiang Wan can come back, what if Jiang Wan can come back, what if Jiang Shan gives her?! What about indulgence?!

He always thought that there was still a lot of time and a long way to go, and he always thought that it would be okay to calm down for a few days, and it would be okay to be absent for the time being.

He always thought that explanations were superfluous, and that she could always understand herself.

He always thought that the painstaking and protection did not need to be spoken, and time would always prove.

But when the trajectory of the handover between them came to an abrupt end, Qi Ying realized that he was wrong.

God knows how much he wants to beat himself up, and then soak in wine and get drunk and dream to death.

But he can't, he is a king, and even the surging thoughts and remorse can only be alleviated and paralyzed by a pair of familiar eyes.

He wanted to tell the Queen Mother that love and companionship have never been something that can be measured.

Jiang Wan once gambled her life on him! Every indelible scar on her body was her medal, a debt and pity that he imprinted on his heart, but before he could dig out his heart for her to see, they had no time and a future.

In Qionglin Palace, above the phoenix seat, it can be anyone.

But in this world, there is only one woman who is willing to work hard for him, but Jiang Wan is the only one.

If it weren't for her.

Then it doesn't matter who it is.

He couldn't say these words.

The person is no longer there, and no matter how much argument there is, it has lost all its meaning, Qi Ying just looked at the Queen Mother, saluted slowly and stiffly, and said in a dumb voice: "I sent the imperial doctor to ask Concubine Jing yesterday to ask her pulse, but she drank something that should not be drunk, and the hospital is becoming less and less diligent now." ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and squinted her eyes slightly: "Why should the emperor embarrass the imperial doctor?" This is the meaning of the mourning family, and he asked him to reward the mourning family with a bowl of shunzi soup for Concubine Jing. After speaking, he paused and pulled the blanket covering his lap, "Dongshu barbarians, it's better not to be pregnant." ”
