Of course, Du Xiaomeng missed the total solar eclipse.

In fact, no one cares whether the total solar eclipse occurred that day, and perhaps only John Tong knows it. At that time, Concubine Dong E was in a coma, the emperor was furious, and the entire palace almost fell out. Everyone is panicking, who is in the mood to care about the celestial phenomena? Most of the concubines paid close attention to Concubine Dong E's condition, and were furious and jealous of the emperor's thunder that broke out, and they also sent palace maids from time to time to inquire about the progress, hoping that Concubine Dong E's soul would return for nine days.

Death didn't happen, but this illness unexpectedly dragged on for a long time. This time, Xiaomeng could feel more serious than before, and his body was obviously much weaker. For the first two or three months, she was even bedridden, coughing and wheezing at the slightest movement, and her whole body was sore. After that, it's a little better, and I can walk around on the ground, but that's all, I want to jump and jump out of the palace, it's pure delusion. Therefore, the idea of secretly meeting John Tong alone could only be quietly shelved.

Not long after she fell ill, the concubine of Chuxiu Palace died, she was young and died a particularly bizarre death, without any signs before. The mourning concubine should also be one of the more favored concubines before Shunzhi, but she died during the illness of Concubine Dong E, and Fu Lin threw herself on Concubine Dong E, and she didn't bother to ask too much, only ordered a reward and a generous burial, although she still had a dragon descendant in her belly when she died. The cause of death caused a lot of discussion in the entire harem, and the focus of the discussion was intentionally or unintentionally directed at the concubine who had not been pregnant for many years in the palace. When Xiaomeng was on the sickbed, he listened to the chatter of the four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Xiaomeng reprimanded them severely, and she made a strict order: no matter whether this matter is true or not, no matter how much the entire harem is discussed, but in her Chengqian Palace, she doesn't want to hear these gossips, and she strictly orders the servants and maids of the Chengqian Palace to talk nonsense outside.

But this incident made Du Xiaomeng's heart even colder, and the harem life was really deceitful and intriguing. First the four princes were killed, then they were killed, then they were killed, then they mourned the concubines, and there were two women who were tortured with distorted psychology and were not ghosts.

Enough is enough, she really wants to escape from here and go back to the 21st century - a civilized society where there is only monogamy and equality and no need to worry about losing your head at any time. But when can she go to find John Tang, and even if she finds John Tang, will he be able to solve the mystery and point her a way home?

And if she can go back as she wishes, how can she be willing to be blessed. In the past half a year, he has been deeply imprinted in her heart. The imprint was so deep and so deep that the thought of leaving him made her heart ache.

It's not to stay, it's not to go, it's not to be reluctant, and it's okay to gather and disperse. This sorrow is only understood by herself, and she thinks about it again and again, often frowning and worrying about it.

Before I knew it, I had been sick for half a year. In the past six months, in addition to the unfinished court affairs, Fulin has almost accompanied her on her sickbed. He accompanied her to play checkers, chatted with her and told jokes, she accompanied him to read Confucian classics and history, accompanied him to paint, and even sometimes, the two were silent, just snuggling up to each other, with affection, and felt warm and comfortable.

In the winter of this year, Concubine Tang gave birth to the emperor's sixth son, Qizhu, and died of smallpox not long after. So Xiaomeng knelt down to the emperor, she was willing to withdraw the third request, and asked the emperor to consider it for the heirs of the dragon descendants, and often went to other concubines to walk around. Of course, this is an excuse, the third son of the emperor, Xuan Ye, has already been born, he will be a good emperor in the future, and it doesn't matter if he has more heirs.

Fu Lin picked her up and looked at her deeply, both in love and bewildered. Sometimes Concubine Dong E is very generous, sometimes she is very small, sometimes she is very lively, sometimes she is very quiet, sometimes she is very optimistic and enterprising, and sometimes she is very sentimental. She is like a book in heaven that he can't read, but he is eager to learn and is willing to spend his whole life reading it.

In the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, this handsome young man with political ideals and political ambitions, after several years of hard work, finally achieved achievements in cultural and martial arts. In terms of civil governance, he punished the cases of fraud in the scientific field, severely punished the corrupt officials, stipulated that the stolen goods were full of 10 taels, and he would be exiled to Xibei, and he would pay 300,000 yuan in silver, half of which would be used as a salary for the poor people in Yunnan and Guizhou, and half as a soldier's salary. The six major drawbacks such as easy service, shaving, enclosure, occupying a house, charging, and escaping have also been relaxed, improved, and always tried to remove obstacles, and devoted themselves to Sinicization. In terms of martial arts, he conquered Yunnan, pacified the five provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, and defeated Zheng Chenggong, who besieged Jiangning in July, but was defeated and returned to Fujian after only a month. He also ordered Wu Sangui to town Yunnan, Shang Kexi town to Guangdong, and Geng Duanmao town to Fujian.

At the age of twenty-two, Fulin finally went to political glory and became one at home. The Shunzhi Emperor, who had always ruled the country and Anbang with the ambition of the Ming Jun, saw that the prosperous and prosperous era was coming, and the dragon heart was happy, and decided to hunt in the suburbs in November, successively Tangquan and Sanyingtun. Manchurian banner people are in the world of horses, hunting has always been the favorite of Manchurians, Fulin is no exception, since childhood to before the pro-government he can only ride and shoot hunting and frolicking to live, so this is also what he is very good at.

Du Xiaomeng originally wanted to follow him to see the excitement, she knew that if he was healthy, if she asked for it, he would definitely take her there. It's a pity that after years of recuperation, the body is still weak, and it is impossible to learn to ride a horse. Hunting on a shooting must be a lot of fun. Xiaomeng felt very shocked, if only he didn't borrow Concubine Dong E's body but his own healthy body when he crossed. But when you think about it, if you still maintain your original appearance, how can you have this relationship with Fulin? The world is difficult to complete, so there is no need to be shocked and complained.

Fu Lin went hunting, perhaps it was a godsend opportunity to give her the opportunity to visit John Tong. Xia He must have followed Concubine Dong E and the emperor to Tang Ruowang's mansion before, and let her take her there. Thinking of this, she immediately asked Xia He, and sure enough, Xia He knew about Tang Ruowang's mansion.

"Niangniang, what are you looking for John Tang?" Xia He wondered.

"Oh, I heard that John Tang once saved the queen's life, this palace went to ask, maybe he has a way to deal with the illness of this palace."

"But, Niangniang, you cough so badly that you feel tired even walking around the yard twice, how can you get out of the palace? In case something goes wrong, how can the slave and maid explain to the emperor. Xia He was very worried about Concubine Dong E's body.

"It doesn't matter, this palace has felt a little better in the past two days, and it can support it.

"Even so, without the emperor's approval, the concubine is forbidden to leave the palace without permission."

Xiaomeng said: "Don't be afraid, there is this palace!" How do you know if you don't try? ”

Xia He couldn't stop the persuasion, so he had to come up with an idea: "If Niangniang really has to see Lord Tang, why not pass on Lord Tang to enter the palace to see him, it's better than you forcing yourself out of the palace." ”

"Is that okay? Is that okay? Xiaomeng's eyes widened, there were many rules in the harem, and she still didn't understand, but she just took it for granted that this should be a taboo thing, after all, Tang Ruowang was not an ordinary imperial doctor.

Xia He said: "Yes, of course the imperial concubine has the right to do this, but in order to avoid gossip from people with intentions, you can wait for the slave maid to pass the queen mother first, and ask the queen mother to pass on the decree, which is better." ”

Xiaomeng smiled and scratched Xia He's little nose and said, "Ghost girl, you still think thoughtfully." ”

Xia He was so naughty that he stuck out his tongue and arranged it himself.

When Xiaomeng saw Tang Ruowang, she still had a funny feeling, she couldn't help it, and after a bit of noise, she ordered someone to serve snacks and tea one by one, and entertained Tang Ruowang very warmly. John Tang himself is also a happy old man, as a missionary, amiable to him, kind eyebrows and kind eyes have long become his habit, and he is more able to accept refreshments calmly, without the slightest false politeness.

Xiaomeng was very satisfied, sat at the small table and said with a smile: "Marfa, in fact, this palace has always wanted to visit you. It's a pity that I can't do it. ”

"The minister understands, Niangniang doesn't have to take it to heart, it's important to take care of the phoenix body."

"Take care, of course, take care, it's just that life and death are life, and this palace can see it."

"No, Niangniang's phoenix body is not only Niangniang's own business, but also a major event related to the imperial court. Be sure to keep it in mind. ”

John Tong's slow and cautious tone was meaningful.

Xiaomeng glanced at him deeply, this Tang Ruowang is really not simple, as if he can pinch and calculate, and predict the future. She said deliberately: "How so? The dragon's health is a major event related to the society of the imperial court, and the palace is a woman, so why worry about it. ”

"With all due respect, if the phoenix body of the mother is against the harmony, how can the dragon body be healthy? If the dragon body violates the harmony, how can the world be peaceful? ”

In one sentence, if John Tang knows astronomy and geography, can he really predict the future?

Xiaomeng sighed and said: "Although Marfa is sincere, and Bengong has also been taught, but the number of days dictates, if fate is destined to be like this, what can Bengong do?" Naturally, Hongu also wants to recover his health as soon as possible, so he summoned you and asked you if there was any medicine that could heal Hongu. ”

"No medicine."

said it so directly, Xiaomeng was stunned. She waved her hand and told the ladies to stand back. She bit her lip and thought to herself, if Concubine Dong E's body is destined to only survive until August next year (as recorded in history), then a death farewell with Fulin will be inevitable. In this case, if you can find a way to travel back in time and go back to the 21st century to see your longing family, you can also give it a try. Otherwise, if she really had to leave Fulin alone and return to the 21st century on her own, she would not be able to do such a thing.

Xiaomeng smiled desolate and said: "So this palace says that it is due to the number of days, and Marfa wants this palace to take care of itself, how to take care?" Isn't it self-contradiction, self-deception? ”

"No, the so-called do your best, obey the destiny of heaven. Niangniang just take care of the phoenix body and relax. If you are relieved, the emperor will be relieved. "John Tang is worthy of being a well-educated person who has been in China for decades, and the harmony and thinking of Chinese have become very Chinese.

Xiaomeng smiled and nodded, "This palace has been taught." There is another thing I would like to ask Marfa about this palace. ”

"Please make it clear."

"Marfa has always studied the astronomical calendar, so can we know whether the total solar eclipse has anything to do with the transformation of time and space? In other words, will a total solar eclipse occur at the same time as it causes a space-time shift? Do you know what Hongu means? For example, people from the Tang Dynasty suddenly came to this dynasty, something like this. ”

"Could there be such a thing?" Tang Ruowang was dumbfounded at first glance.

Xiaomeng looked at his expression and suddenly realized that he was very ridiculous. How did he think of asking John Tong about this? The subject of time and space travel is that in the 21st century, scientists have not yet been able to solve the mysteries, and they are only treated as myths, how can people 300 years ago understand it? Xiaomeng knocked on his forehead and scolded himself for being stupid.

Tang Ruowang lost his mind, and thought seriously for a while before he said slowly: "The people of the Tang Dynasty will suddenly come to this dynasty, hehe, Niangniang is telling a story, right?" However, the minister has observed several total solar eclipses, when the world is dark, and the magnetic field and aura of people are weak, it may or may not change, for example, the body is attracted to space, and it is not impossible that there may be a space-time tunnel in the infinite universe. ”

"When people's magnetic fields and aura are weak, do you mean when people are weak and sick?"

"No, the minister is just talking about it casually, how can such a thing happen in this world? Niangniang, please think about it, when the total solar eclipse occurs, there are so many people who get sick, and there are not many people who travel through time and space? John Tang shook his head and waved his hand to deny his speculation.

Xiaomeng cupped his little head and pondered: "That's right, it's unlikely, then do you say that in addition to the above two conditions, there must be a third element at the same time before time and space travel can occur." ”

Tang Ruowang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The more Niangniang talks about it, the more mysterious it becomes, it seems that there is really such a thing as time and space travel." Niangniang's imagination is so rich that so far, no one has put forward such a hypothesis, even in the more scientifically advanced Western countries. ”

Xiaomeng sneered: "Actually, this palace is just talking about it casually, drinking tea and drinking tea." ”

Of course, Xiaomeng didn't find the answer she wanted in this meeting, but she was not as disappointed as she imagined, but seemed to be secretly relieved. If John Tang really knew how to travel through time, then Xiaomeng would have to face the decision of whether to return to the 21st century immediately. Now it's better to go with the flow and resign yourself to fate. She cherishes the remaining time with Fulin. So, Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't get an answer, Xiaomeng firmly believed that the occurrence of time travel must be related to the total solar eclipse.

Xiaomeng rewarded John Tong with a lot of jewels, with only one purpose, asking him to notify her in advance when the next total solar eclipse occurred, to be exact, asking him to notify her every time a total solar eclipse occurred. Even if she can't travel back in time, she wants to experience the magical moment when she left the 21st century again.
