Chapter 67: Entering the Palace
Yunying said that I slept for five days and five nights, she was the palace maid who was arranged to serve me after I lived in the Hidden Moon Palace, I have stayed in the palace since I fell into the water, and I did not go back to the Xuan Palace, I naturally didn't know these when I lost consciousness, I only felt that there were several people back and forth around me, Li Xuan, Long Xiao, and even the queen, all came to see me.
I was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and my body was also hot and cold, alternating between hot and cold, and I was really sinful.
Thinking about it, I was really seriously ill this time, Li Xuan guarded me every day except for the court, quietly holding my hand, looking confused and empty, as if looking at me and not looking at me sitting on the edge of the bed, all without the confidence of the past, the whole person was shrouded in loneliness.
Several times Yun Ying came in with a decoction, what she saw was the appearance of King Xuan, haggard and lonely, she put down the medicine and withdrew, the princess has always been the person on the tip of the prince's heart, I just hope that the princess can wake up early.
Li Xuan picked up the medicine bowl, picked up the soup spoon and stirred the thick black medicinal juice, and blew the medicine to cool down before feeding me to drink, this time he didn't let the most bitter medicine of the imperial medicine force me to wake up, as if he subconsciously knew that those past may not be able to hide it from me for long, afraid that I would suddenly remember something after I woke up and couldn't face me, and selfishly thought that in the few days when I was in a coma, it would be good for him to have me for a few more days.
In fact, every time he came back to see me, he was extremely tormented, for fear that this would be the last few days of my stay with him.
I lay lifeless on the bed, the whole room was quiet and only my faint breathing could be heard, he was relieved and uncomfortable, I was unconscious, he had the courage to accompany me, and the sadness he showed was felt even by me. My Li Xuan, why is he so sad?
At this time, Imperial Doctor Zhang diagnosed me as usual, Long Xiao was also present, Li Xuan was still looking at me silently, as if he had lost his soul, this was the fifth day of my coma, but there was still no sign of waking up, even Imperial Doctor Zhang was a little helpless.
Long Xiao took the first step and asked, "How is the princess?" When will I wake up? ”
Imperial Doctor Zhang wiped the thin sweat oozing from his forehead, thinking about how to answer the emperor's words, the princess is weak and weak, and it has a lot to do with the incident two years ago, and he is also responsible for the recuperation of these years.
If the princess makes any mistakes, I am afraid that the lives of dozens of members of his family will not be enough to dissipate the emperor's anger, not to mention the emperor, it is the means of King Xuan...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he had to say truthfully: "The princess's physique is worse than ordinary people, and she fell into the water in this season, contracted the wind cold, and recovered more slowly. According to the judgment of the minister, within two days, the princess should wake up. ”
Fortunately, it was just a cold invasion of the body, and it was no big deal, and the emperor and King Xuan should also relax, and the head on his neck could be regarded as temporarily saved.
Imperial Doctor Zhang is an old man in the palace, and his medical skills are also superb, Long Xiao nodded slightly, glanced over at Li Xuan, and saw that he did not react at all, even if the imperial doctor said that Qin Xi would wake up soon, he still didn't say a word, like a sculpture, Long Xiao sighed secretly, signaling the imperial doctor to retreat, he could see that Li Xuan's heart was absent-minded, and he stood at the head of the ministers for a few days in a row, all of his faces were indifferent, and his body exuded a coldness that had nothing to do with him.
He took Qin Xi too seriously, and even Qin Xi became his weakness. This alone has exceeded Long Xiao's limit of patience.
Long Xiao finally couldn't help but be angry and said: "You made yourself like this for a woman, you knew it was like this, it is better to let her die in Qinzhou." ”
Hearing Long Xiao's words, Li Xuan finally opened his mouth: "Back then, when I killed Qin Cheng with a sword, she saw it with her own eyes. ”
Long Xiao was stunned and felt incredible, and turned to many things that he couldn't figure out. Xuan took Qin Xi back to Beijing, but no man welcomed back the joy that his beloved should have; As the emperor, he was married, and when Qin Xi learned about it, he forgot his worries and almost died; Qin Xi lost his memory and married Xuan,
The relationship between the two has deteriorated even more......
"When I killed Qin Cheng, she hid in the secret passage, and when I found her before dawn, Qi Ao had already left her, she was sitting alone in front of the abandoned low house, so lonely that it made me feel distressed, I deceived myself and thought that she didn't know what I was doing, I told her that I would take care of her for the rest of my life and let her have no worries, do you know what she said? She said that the Li Saburo she loved died, died at my hands, and wanted to die with me as soon as she heard it. ”
"On the way I took her back to Beijing, she wanted to kill me countless times to avenge Qin Cheng, if she hadn't been able to kill me with her own hands, I was afraid that she would have apologized for her death a long time ago. Although Qin Cheng is an adoptive father, the father-daughter affection for more than ten years is indeed true, Qin Cheng holds her in the palm of his hand, and he can't wait to marry the whole Qinzhou when she gets married. When Qin Cheng, who is so good as her, dies in my hands, how can she not hate? ”
"After you decreed the marriage, she saw that there was no hope of killing me, so she finally gave up her thoughts and committed suicide by taking medicine that night."
"She's so determined." In the last sentence, Li Xuan didn't know whether to say it to Long Xiao or to himself, he only felt that he was like a towering tree struck by lightning, full of decline.
Long Xiao didn't expect that there was such a hidden feeling behind the relationship between Li Xuan and me, he sighed for a while, but he couldn't say anything comforting, maybe he was always sober, since the moment his father announced to the world that he was the crown prince, he abandoned his children's private feelings and became ruthless.
Entering the East Palace was exchanged for her mother's life, the queen mother died, and his father treated him even more indifferently, he could only endure humiliation and bear the burden, and survive in the gap between the struggle for power.
The person who inherits the throne should not take the personal affairs of his children too seriously, not to mention that he is a man without a heart. The women he placed in the harem were all pawns he used to consolidate his power, and his three thousand harems were full of flowers, but he couldn't find a woman to complain to each other, even his cousin queen, he only had respect and responsibility for her, and there was no love.
As for Qin Xi, it is undeniable that he hates her, she is the only woman he can't ignore emotionally.
Compared to him, she has too many things to be proud of.
Before she was born, her father prepared a title for her, and regarded her as his favorite child, and none of him and other princes could occupy such a heavy position in his father's heart. Only her, her father welcomed her birth with such ecstasy, just because her mother, the world-famous concubine Sumire, was the favorite woman of her father.
He didn't even doubt that if Qin Xi was born as a man, his father would not hesitate to make her the prince and replace him.
After Concubine Sumire entered the palace, the number of times his father came to his mother's palace was less, and several times he saw his mother crying alone, and his jealousy for Concubine Sumire arose. Later, Concubine Sumire died in childbirth. On the night of her death, there was thunder and lightning, and the wind and rain did not stop, and her father anxiously kept watch outside the palace all night. As soon as she gave birth to a baby girl, Concubine Sumire died and died.
Hearing the news of Concubine Sumire's death, he was very happy for his mother, that night he hid behind the pillar, and saw the queen mother stumbling back to Fengyi Palace, she staggered into the hall, one did not stand firm and fell to the ground, her expression was like a lost soul, and she whispered, almost crazy: "She's dead, that slut is dead, haha——, she's finally dead-"
He felt that the queen mother was very poor at that time, he hated Concubine Sumire, and he hated his father, if it wasn't for his father's anger on Concubine Sumire's death, how could the queen mother die unjustly? His noble and graceful queen mother, whose behavior can be called a model of a lady of the royal family, died of depression because she was rejected by her father.
Thinking of the tragic death of the queen mother, Long Xiao's eyes burst out with cold light, falling straight on my face, I can't wait to strangle me with my own hands to comfort his mother's spirit in the sky.
"Tomorrow I will lead troops to attack the southern country." Li Xuan looked at me greedily, as if he wanted to rub me into his life.
Long Xiao didn't care: "You-really willing to leave her?" The person she wants to see when she wakes up is you, and if you avoid it like this, she will definitely blame you. The matter of sending troops to the southern country, I will order General Yuan to go, not to mention that the two countries are at war, and they are not child's play, so they need to be considered in the long run. ”
Li Xuan let go of my hand and tucked the brocade quilt for me: "I am determined to do this, not only for the sake of Daqi, but also for her, forget her worries and plant in the southern country, there must be a solution, I will not watch her die of weakness, even if she hates me, I will not let her die." I won't allow her to die. ”
After another day in a coma, I woke up in a state of confusion, staring at the curtain in a daze, and it took me a long time to come back to my senses.
There is no one in the room, it is all unfamiliar furnishings, and the style is not the elegance of Mozhuju, there is more luxury, I got up sideways, and suddenly I felt dizzy in front of me, and I almost fell back again, but fortunately, I supported my body with my arms to sit up reluctantly.
Slowly got out of bed, didn't realize that he was only wearing a thin moon-white bedclothes, and after walking a few steps, he felt tired, and his body was really weak.
The bronze mirror on the dresser reflected my bloodless face, and within a few days, the complexion that had been cultivated with great difficulty was a few points worse. If Li Xuan sees it, he should feel sorry for me again. For some reason, when I thought of Li Xuan, I couldn't stop the slightest throbbing in my heart, it was the sunset at this time, and I seemed to have become sentimental.
Pushing open the door of the dormitory, looking out, sure enough, it was in the palace, I shuttled on the nine-curved corridor, the gentle breeze on the lake blew, bringing a very heavy coolness, my body trembled slightly, almost unstable.
I still saw a person in the blue waves, his posture was blurred and difficult to distinguish, until the evening breeze raised a touch of bright yellow, I then recognized that the person was Long Xiao, he followed Chen Fu, his steps were a little hurried, Chen Fu fell several steps away, I actually had the illusion that he came because he was worried about me.
Another wave of dizziness hit, I had to hold on to the pillar beside me, Long Xiao seemed to help me, and then flicked his sleeves with a little anger, and asked disdainfully: "It's good to be cold, so you don't care about your body like this, are you all idlers in my palace?" ”
In front of me, he has always held the posture of an emperor, as if deliberately emphasizing the fact that he is the king of the Great Qi Dynasty, and I have to submit to him.
Am I not his concubine, do you think I want to stay in this splendid palace? In the end, considering that this was his territory, and it was not the time to annoy him, he honestly said: "I want to see him." ”
I thought that what I saw after waking up was Li Xuan's peerless face, and I especially remember that he carefully prepared a lantern festival for me, and accompanied me to guess lantern riddles childishly; Swim in Yanbo Lake and indulge me to have fun at will. Suddenly, I remembered that when I was about to drown, it was Long Xiao, who was extremely disgusted with me, who rescued me, and the kiss under the water was domineering and strong, and I couldn't help blushing and making a low-eyebrow look.
Long Xiao saw a suspicious flush on my face, and couldn't help but think of the scene of saving me underwater, he said coldly: "You-"
I lowered my head, after the initial recovery of the serious illness, the pale complexion reflected my thin figure, and it looked even more moving, which was pitiful, that is, deep and cold as Long Xiao, seeing my appearance, the cold heart and hard heart inevitably softened, and the tone softened a little: "Xuan went to the border, you stay in the palace, about a year, the two of you can reunite." ”
