Chapter Eighty-Five: Be Honest
At night, the palace was dead silent.
There is no emperor in this palace, no harem concubines, no palace maids, no endless feasts, no legendary fairyland, when night falls, it is like a ghost.
There is no popularity.
But if you listen closely, there are a lot of sounds.
In just a few years, a lot of things have happened in the palace, the change of the official eunuchs, Ankang Mountain entered Beijing, many people died, the first emperor of the noble concubine, countless eunuchs and palace maids, it is said that there is still blood in the waterways of the palace, which is the legend of the craftsmen who repaired the palace.
The craftsmen lived in the palace.
They are very busy with their work, although the palace has not been destroyed by Ankang Mountain as told to the outside world, but for hundreds of years, there are indeed many places that need to be repaired.
The two craftsmen stood motionless outside the hall.
"Brother, did you hear anything?"
"No, right..."
"It looks like there's a lot of people running."
"Look there's still light over there!"
"The light is gone again!"
"Is there a cry?"
"It's the wind!"
I heard that there was a killing in the palace that year, and the eunuchs and palace maids ran around, and it is said that people do not know that they are dead when they die, and they always repeat the last actions before their deaths......
They couldn't move, they could only keep talking, and the more they talked, the more they felt that they couldn't walk, until a cry came from behind, "What are you doing?" ”
The two of them shuddered and were able to turn around.
An official carrying a lamp, followed by several janissaries, looked at them solemnly.
Seeing the living people, and it was the Shangguan they knew, the two breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's get charcoal" and "We're on duty tonight"
The official said, "Go back quickly when you finish taking it, and don't move around at will." ”
The two of them hurriedly walked towards the hall in a row, and the official called after him: "If you hear any movement at night, don't come out." ”
The two craftsmen looked back at the faces of the officials under the flickering lanterns, half of their faces were blue and half of their faces were white, they shivered in fright and stammered, and fled back to the hall without looking back.
When the sun shrouded the earth again, the strangeness of the palace was also heard.
Wu Zheng and the two adults knew the news for the first time.
"The palace is haunted?" Lord Zheng frowned and flicked his sleeves, "What nonsense!" ”
"It was the craftsmen who said it, and they heard it at night, and the guards in the palace were on guard." A eunuch said in a low voice, "It is also said that so many craftsmen were hired not to repair the palace, but to inflate yang qi....."
The gentleman was silent, and Lord Wu waved a hand, "Go, go, nonsense." ”
"My lord." An official said in a low voice, "Actually, there were assassins in the palace last night, and there were assassins who assassinated the Lady of Chu and the Governor of Wudu. ”
Assassin! Are there really assassins?
Zheng Wu and the two adults were suddenly solemn: "Can you succeed?" ”
The official shook his head: "I don't know the specifics." ”
"But this morning there was news in the palace that there would be no more discussions." Another official said in a low voice, "A doctor has gone in, saying that he is treating Mrs. Wu." ”
If you want to cover it up, Zheng and Wu are the two adults who are most familiar with this kind of thing, but something must have happened!
"My lord, Mr. Liu is here." There are small officials outside the door.
Hearing this, Zheng Wu and the two adults waved their hands to the officials and eunuchs in the room, and these officials and eunuchs hurriedly withdrew through the side door.
The yamen in the capital is much bigger than the Dao yamen, but when Liu Fan walked in, he still saw a few people who slipped away from the side door, and knew that they were here to tell Zheng and Wu the two adults.
He didn't care, and he was not surprised, most of the officials in the capital were old people, and sooner or later they would belong to the imperial court, so the sooner they won the favor of the adults from the imperial court, the better, and the eunuchs were the same.
Mrs. Chu acts, and the officials and soldiers in the capital do not have to say anything to people, whatever they say.
Liu Fan walked in without squinting, and the two adults Wu Zheng didn't treat him as an outsider, and asked straight to the point: "There are assassins in the palace?" The Governor and the Lady of Chu were assassinated? ”
Liu Fan didn't hide it and nodded: "It's a small trouble, but it didn't succeed." ”
Wu Zheng and the others believed half of it, but they didn't ask any more if the governor of Wudu or Mrs. Chu was injured, just let the eunuchs inquire.
"Annoying." They expressed anger and concern, "It must be the rebels, did they learn that the governor is coming?" Will Hebei Province be dangerous? ”
Liu Fan said: "It is very likely that although the governor has entered Beijing to keep it secret, but after being in the capital for so long, the personnel in Beijing are complicated, and there will always be rumors." ”
Wu Zheng and the two nodded in agreement.
"So, why did Your Majesty enter Beijing?" Liu Fan asked, "The Son of Heaven will return to the dynasty early, and if you are small, you will be able to stabilize my Great Xia as soon as possible." ”
Wu Zheng and the others were suddenly furious, what kind of person is this! What a heart! The capital is like this, and he even forced His Majesty to come back!
......
......
Kumquat held the medicine and stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, and his steps staggered.
"Slow down." Jiang Ming stood outside the hall to remind and comfort, "Don't be afraid, the imperial doctor said, it's okay." ”
Kumquat's tears dripped even more: "Master, you don't have to coax me, Miss's illness is not something that doctors can see..."
Jiang Ming sighed: "At least the doctor can know if the young lady's life is in danger." ”
Last night, Li Minglou fell into a coma after vomiting blood and crying, there was really no way, Miss's condition was not a disease, and she had to find a doctor to take a look.
The imperial doctor really couldn't see anything after seeing it, only said that the soul was restless and the essence and blood were lost, but his life was worry-free, so he prescribed some medicine to calm the nerves and replenish qi for him to try.
Kumquat sniffed: "It's good that the governor is here." ”
Jiang Mingjiang lifted the curtain, and the upright figure of Wu Ya'er in the depths of the hall was like a pillar.
Kumquat hurriedly walked in and said something to Wu Ya'er, who walked to the couch and sat down, stretched out her hand to pick up the lying woman, and let her lean on her arms.
Kumquat is slowly fed with a small spoon.
Regarding Wu Ya'er's movements, Yuan Ji and Fang Er, who were sitting on the edge of the couch, did not speak, let alone stopped, and Yuan Ji got up and walked out.
"Don't stare at him?" Jiang Ming asked in a low voice, looking at the man who hugged Miss inside, this can be regarded as his initiative to hug Miss.
Yuan Ji said: "What's the use of staring at him." ”
Jiang Ming looked up and saw the lantern hanging under the porch, and thought of last night's incident: "Thousands of precautions, unarmour, celibacy, no weapons, now I think about it, it's a little ridiculous." ”
That man, tearing off the lantern and throwing it out with a bamboo strip as an arrow, has the ability to pick flowers and fly leaves to kill people.
If he wants to hurt Miss, what can he prevent?
"It's not this either." Yuan Ji said, "He saved Miss." ”
And only him.
At that time, no one noticed the strangeness of the young lady, and he was still standing beside the young lady.
"yes, how did he find out?" Jiang Ming muttered, thinking of last night's incident, his heart palpitated and felt in a trance, like a dream, "And he can still see where Miss Hurt is." ”
They picked up the bamboo strip thrown by Wu Ya'er from the roof, and they all heard what the bamboo stick hit at that time, and saw the fire rising, but when they picked it up, they saw that the bamboo stick had not the slightest trace of impact and fire.
They asked Wu Ya'er what they saw there, but Wu Ya'er couldn't answer, but they felt that there was something over there.
But no matter what, it was Wu Ya'er who saved Miss.
An outsider, a stranger, someone who is always on guard.....
Yuanji looked around the palace, there were soldiers patrolling by, the search lasted all night, nothing was found, all that could be done was to strengthen the defense, but what was the use, the previous defense was tight enough, and the young lady was still attacked silently....
It's not human.
Yuan Ji said: "I'm going to tell Wu Ya'er, Miss." ”
Jiang Ming was taken aback: "Tell him?" May I? ”
Yuan Ji looked at him and said, "He can save Miss, for Miss's safety, we have to let him know what is going on." ”
.....
.....
After Kumquat fed the medicine, Wu Ya'er took the towel and gently wiped the corner of Li Minglou's mouth, and gently pressed her hand on her face and forehead.....
"Sweating slightly, no fever." "It's just a little bit rapid. ”
Although the imperial doctor couldn't see Li Minglou's symptoms, he said that if he didn't have a fever, he would be fine.
Kumquat breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Ya'er put Li Minglou back on the couch, Mrs. Wu, who had been sitting quietly on the side, moved over, Kumquat was a little uneasy, afraid that she would disturb Miss, and before she could speak, the Wu woman gently stroked Li Minglou's head and booed Kumquat: "The finch is asleep, don't wake her up." ”
Kumquat sat down beside her, sniffing and humming.
Wu Ya'er walked from the couch to Yuanji: "What do you want to say to me?" ”
Yuan Ji said: "We and the identity of the young lady can't be told to the governor. ”
Wu Ya'er nodded: "She told me about this matter, don't worry, I won't ask." ”
Yuan Ji said: "Wudu Governor, the reason why I can't tell you is because the young lady is cursed and can't reveal her identity. ”
Curse? Wu Ya'er was surprised.
"Miss couldn't see the sun at the beginning, so she covered her head and face with a black robe and a black umbrella."
"When the sun hits Miss, Miss's body will fester."
"If the young lady reveals her identity, or is recognized by others, her body will also fester."
"The most terrifying thing is that Miss looks fine, but in fact she has injuries on her body, only she can see and feel them."
"I don't hide it from the governor, before the governor came, the young lady just had a new injury on her body, and it has not healed yet."
Every sentence sounded unbelievable, Wu Ya'er's expression changed from surprise to shock, and then he was dignified, his hand hanging by his side was clenched, he turned his head to look at the couch, the girl on the couch was wearing white clothes, her face was as white as snow, and her exposed skin was as smooth as jade.....
Under this fairy-like appearance, he actually suffered the pain of rotten skin and flesh?
She couldn't see the daylight, covered by a black robe and a black umbrella, but she rushed to help herself, and in order to be recognized by the rebels, she took off her robe and covered it.
At that time, she sat on the battlefield with him, and when she saw the light of day, she sighed that it was dawn.
At that time, he thought that it was dawn and just sighed that he was leaving, but now it seems that dawn is the beginning of pain for her.
Wu Ya'er turned around and strode back to the bed, reaching out to hold Li Minglou in his arms.
Jiang Ming sighed: "This, what are you doing here......"
The medicine has been fed!
Yuan Ji grabbed his arm, gritted his teeth and said, "Pity, pity." ”
It's like the young lady just finished listening to Wu Ya'er's life experience, and then the young lady went to hug Wu Ya'er!
Just pity! Hug it!
