Chapter 33: Upheaval (II)

History: In the winter of the twenty-ninth year of Dayan Yonglong, the emperor collapsed, the queen died, and the whole country mourned. In the same month, the emperor's grandson Murong Changtian ascended the throne and changed the era name Changqing. On the same day, Emperor Changqing issued a holy decree that Murong Ke, the uncle of the Seventh Emperor, was caught by thieves and wanted to coerce him into rebellion and destroy the foundation of the Great Yan Kingdom, so he pursued him throughout the territory.

……

Shi Zhongyu finally opened his eyes after a month of grogginess.

"Miss Ye is awake, Miss Ye is awake" A maid who was kneeling on the edge of the bed immediately got up and happily went to report the news.

For a moment, Shi Zhongyu's memory and thinking were blank, and it took a long time to realize that she was staying in a strange room, lying on a strange bed. There were two or three maids around, but they were all fresh faces.

Where is this?

She wanted to get up, but she didn't want to move, and she felt very tired and tired even when she spoke. Suddenly, she remembered that she was almost burned to death by the queen, Murong Changtian rescued her from the secret passage, and the little monkey burned half of her face, and she seemed to have fainted.

"Xiaoyu" a voice sounded in surprise.

Shi Zhongyu turned his head slightly to the side and found Murong Chu striding towards him with a happy face. However, her body and face have lost a lot of weight, but fortunately, her spirit is still good, and she still has a heroic temperament, which makes her feel at ease.

"What's wrong with me?" She tried to speak, but found that her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't hear clearly, and when she opened her mouth, her throat felt as uncomfortable as if it was burning and smoking, and she couldn't help coughing.

Murong Chu was nervous, even a little overwhelmed. There was a clever girl next to her, and she hurriedly brought a cup of ginseng tea. The tea has been warm on the charcoal fire small tea stove, beware that Shi Zhongyu will wake up thirsty, it is His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson...... No, it was ordered by the emperor, but it was not used after preparing for many days, and it was finally able to be used today, and the maids in the house were also relieved. Then, they all retreated silently.

Murong Chu personally picked up Shi Zhongyu and fed her tea, "Slow down, be careful to choke." He whispered, with tenderness and delicacy in his voice that he didn't even notice.

Shi Zhongyu didn't notice it, he only felt that his back was leaning on Murong Chu's thick and warm chest, and there was a very soft futon sitting on his body, but he still felt that his back and buttocks were panicked. In the face of water, she was thirsty, but when she took a sip of tea, her stomach hurt as if it was on fire.

With Murong Chu's hand, she drank more than half a cup in one go, and when she wanted to drink it again, Murong Chu accepted the tea and said softly, "You just woke up, your spleen and stomach are weak, and you shouldn't drink too much water." ”

"Have I been dizzy for a long time? It's ...... today" She stopped her mouth, because she saw that her wrist was so thin that she couldn't speak, and then touched her thigh, and pinched her waist, and found that she was already skinny. Her new body has never been fat, but she's never been skinny either, what's going on?

"Kid...... When the child's ...... touched her flat lower abdomen, she was startled.

This is Murong Ke's child, she would rather die herself than stay.

"The kid is fine." Murong Chu hurriedly comforted her, "Just to save the child, I can't give you medicine to depoison you, and you only have gold needles to puncture the acupoints every day, so it took you so long to wake up." ”

Shi Zhongyu's back and forehead were sweating, and he didn't know if he was scared just now, or if his body was sweating when he moved, "How long has it been so long?" She asked.

"A month."

"Huh?" Shi Zhongyu was startled. She was incapacitated for a month, but it was like a dream, and she had no concept of time. And after being a vegetative person for a month, the brain was not damaged, and the child was saved, is this a miracle of ancient medicine?

But...... One month? How about Murong Ke for a month? Also, Where did the little monkey go?

She was in a hurry to throw out a series of questions, Murong Chu wanted her to rest and talk slowly, but she slept for a month, how could she still be a little sleepy, and she was extremely worried about her poisoning, so she was so anxious. Murong Chu saw that if she didn't tell her, she wouldn't be able to rest well, so she had to tell her in detail what had happened in the past few days. Although he tried to use a relaxed and calm tone, it still made Shi Zhongyu's heart tremble. But no matter what, Murong Ke, who killed the queen, was able to escape, and she was a little relieved.

"His Royal Highness King Ling suspects, is it the little monkey who led His Royal Highness King Yu out of the secret passage? Where is the little monkey man? ”

"Probably not." Murong Chu said, "I have inquired, judging from the time when the little monkey left the palace at that time, it should be too late to save people, at most he can rush to the palace, and now people are completely missing." In fact, because Tan Fu was killed, and the dagger stabbed from the back of the heart, it was obvious who used the secret passage. ”

"How could he get involved with someone like Tan Fu?" Shi Zhongyu became anxious when he heard this, "Since Tan Fu is dead, could he join forces with Zhao Zhixin?" Even if Zhao Zhixin is Murong Ke's father-in-law, that person is ambitious, and cooperating with him is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. ”

Although, she knows Murong Ke, he is not so easy to deceive, and others don't want to manipulate him. But he is not rational at the moment, and even the queen is killed, which makes her worry.

"He thought you were dead. Because you died, he went mad and desperate. Murong Chu carefully put a lot of cushions on Shi Zhongyu's back, and said slowly, "I've been trying to let him know that you're not dead. But first, you can't wake up, and second, you don't have a chance. ”

"What about public proclaim?" Shi Zhongyu asked urgently. If everyone in Taifu knows that the innocent path is long and lively, Murong Ke has no reason not to know, right?

"I did, but it didn't work." Murong Chu sighed, "Xiaoyu, you are thinking about things too simply. Now he is still recovering from his injuries and cannot show his face, and his sources depend on his men. However, he may believe me, but his men may not be willing to give him the news in order to protect him, because his men do not think that the court will not hold him accountable. His people are now frightened birds, and they will feel that they are going to be surrounded and suppressed if they are a little troubled, and they are bent on escaping from the Taifu Capital and fighting against the imperial court. ”

"Then isn't he riding a tiger now and has to rebel?"

"So, Changtian, no, the emperor issued a holy decree, which was stern on the surface, but gave him a way out."

"What's the use of him not getting this news?" Shi Zhongyu frowned, "If he really wants to rebel, what will happen to the emperor?" ”

Murong Chu looked at Shi Zhongyu with a serious expression, but after a deep sigh, he said, "Xiaoyu, he is my younger brother, although he thinks that I am the person of the former emperor and never understands, I will not deliberately harm him." It's just that if he threatens Dayan Jiangshan, I won't follow his own interests. ”

Shi Zhongyu's heart was cold, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I knew it would be this answer, didn't I? Who is to blame for this? Among them, no one has done anything wrong, but they can't resist the hand of fate to fiddle, and between the yin and the yang, the road they have taken is getting farther and farther away from the original intention, and even the opposite is true.

Murong Ke thought that she was burned to death by the queen, so she was angry, and there was no doubt that she would be the opposite. And now, even if the new emperor unleashed the greatest kindness, his subordinates, who had lost their power and power, would not believe it. The consequence of not believing it is that the news of her life will be used as a bait for the imperial court, and they will not reveal anything to Murong Ke in order to protect the lord. Then Murong Ke didn't know that she wasn't dead, and his antipathy was still firm. So, a vicious circle.

It seems that this knot can't be dissolved.

What she hated the most was why she had never paid attention to Murong Ke's affairs before? If she knew where he might be staying, she could go straight to the door. But now that he is hiding, he can't even find the new emperor and the king of Ling, so what should she do?

"Xiaoyu, where are you going?" Seeing that Shi Zhongyu was silent for a moment and struggled to get up, Murong Chu hurriedly asked.

"I'm going to find him, even if I use a stupid way to turn over the Taifu inch by inch, I have to find him" Shi Zhongyu was so anxious that he fell ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
