Chapter Twenty-Four
Shen Yan sat on the red sandalwood chair, only felt that the carvings on it were uncomfortable, even the color was dark and dazzling, and his heart was irritable as if he had been scratched by a cat's claws, and he coughed uncomfortably: "Li Yu, you go out." ”
Shen Yan saw that Shun Su and a few people inside were surrounding the bed, and he couldn't see what the people inside looked like, so he said impatiently: "Let's all go out." ”
The people inside stood aside after saluting, and they didn't dare to answer at all when they saw Shen Yan like this, only Xi'er had been a palace maid before, and she dared to say a few words: "Holy Lord, the imperial doctor has ordered someone to serve ...... beside you."
Shen Yan interrupted her: "Aren't I here?" ”
Xi'er was surprised, the saint meant to ...... in person
She has also been in the palace for a few years, and she is used to seeing the life of her eyes, so she simply said: "The slave and maid retire!" ”
Even Shun Su Zhao'er retreated.
Shen Yan didn't even look at them, he only thought about the people inside. He walked around the screen step by step, and the closer he got, the more unsettled his mood became, as if he was afraid that something would happen.
Just now, after he learned the news of Shangguan Rong's accident, his mind went blank, and a pinprick-like stinging pain rose from the depths of his nerves, and he left the queen and came over. Shen Yan remembered that on the battlefield back then, thousands of miles of yellow sand, the neighing of war horses was endless, the flags were hunting, the soldiers were pointed on the battlefield, the drums were non-stop, and the generals were fighting bloodily. But at that time, even if the ground was full of corpses and a sea of blood, there was no such feeling of panic as at this time......
Shangguan Rong was lying on the bed unconsciously, the thick quilt was covered with a melon seed face that was surprisingly weak, pale as paper, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if he was not stable in his sleep, Shen Yan stretched out his hand to help her smooth it, and tentatively wiped it from the center of his eyebrows, the temperature was like ice and snow, and the ice person's heart jumped, but he couldn't help but want to help her cover the heat.
Shen Yan clearly felt that his heartbeat accelerated in an instant, and the blood flowed rapidly, slightly stabbing people's hearts numb, and his hand was retracted for some reason.
The faint medicinal smell mixed with the faint aroma between the pillows, a smell that has never been smelled before, easily provokes people without knowing it. , Shen Yan sat motionless on the edge of the bed and watched for a long time, the twilight gradually subdued, outlining his silhouette in the room, blurring half of the inner room.
When the people of Zitai Palace saw that the saint was inside, they began to be sincerely afraid, for fear that if they did something wrong, they would be dragged out by the saint to be punished, and they got used to seeing it in the next few days.
When Shen Yan was inside, he didn't let the palace people go in to serve.
The palace people know that there are no palace people inside, so who else can do the work such as feeding medicine and water?
In addition to being surprised, he was also happy to think that if this matter was known to the concubines who couldn't see her, it was estimated that she would be so angry that she would set fire to Zitai Palace.
…………
When Guan Qingqiu woke up, there was a faint white light outside the window, and the hall was still gray. She remembered that the last scene was in the familiar middle of the Zitai Palace, and she was walking to the carved plum blossom embroidered screen, a feeling of dizziness came suddenly, the whole world was shaking vaguely, her eyes were black, and she only saw a figure coming in a trance, and before she could speak, the whole person fell down.
Guan Qingqiu now feels that his hands and feet are cold, and his whole body is soft, not only the effect of the drug, but also the panic that has not disappeared. When I opened my eyes in bed and saw all this, the only thing I felt was that I was glad that I was still alive.
Fortunately...... The bet won.
Then she fell into a faint slumber again, and did not wake up until the next day.
Zhao'er, who was guarding next to her, saw that she was awake, and immediately threw herself from the side to the bed: "You finally woke up, we have been in a hurry for the past few days......" As she spoke, tears began to flash in her big round eyes.
"Where's Shunsu?"
She hadn't closed her eyes for a few days, she stayed up all night last night, and now she was blue, and Xi'er dragged her back in the morning, otherwise she wouldn't leave. And the Holy One also came to see you, and he took care of you here for a few days, and then hurried to the morning pilgrimage. Zhao'er's voice was as crisp as a bamboo tube jumping beans, and Xu Yu couldn't help but persuade: "The little master is too careless about his body, Imperial Doctor Wei said that this poison will enter the lungs in one more day, you ......"
"Has the grounding in the palace been lifted?" Guan Qingqiu interrupted her.
"The day the little master fainted, it was solved, and you are now a beauty again." Zhao'er replied.
Guan Qingqiu closed his eyes, and a little smile flashed from the corner of his lips.
…………
The footsteps outside were near, and Shen Yan's familiar figure walked in quickly, he was relieved to see that Shangguan Rong had woken up, and asked the inner supervisor next to him to take off the heavy crown and hat, and sat on the edge of the bed and took Shangguan Rong's hand, and his peach blossom eyes flashed brightly because he was happy, and the brightness was amazing: "Finally woke up." ”
Guan Qingqiu's hands were warm, the fear that had just come out of the ghost gate had not completely subsided, and he fell into such a warm place all of a sudden, and something secretly ran out in a trance, and there were faint ripples in his heart.
Shen Yan estimated that he was in a hurry after the early dynasty, he didn't have time to take off the crown and hat on his head, and his body was a bright yellow cloud dragon flower gauze robe, and the hem of his clothes was decorated with the pattern of sea water and river cliffs. The whole body is embellished with red, yellow, blue, green and pink clouds. The heavy ink and color tones did not look fancy, but were pressed well by Shen Yan.
Guan Qingqiu said quietly: "I almost couldn't wake up." ”
Shen Yan didn't seem to hear the resentment in her words, and said softly: "What do you think, but what's uncomfortable?" ”
Guan Qingqiu directly withdrew his hand, looked at Shen Yan, and made it clear that there was no reply and vowed not to give up.
Shen Yan patted her comfortingly before she spoke: "I originally thought that the power of the harem would be tilted, and if I put you in the palace, others would not be able to enter, but it would be convenient to protect." Shen Yan's voice was gloomy as he spoke: "Now it seems that if a person wants to harm others, he can find a way no matter what." ”
Shen Yan's eyes were gentle and incredible, soft and affectionate, as if he could tolerate all the barriers and suspicions in the world: "So your ban has been lifted." ”
Guan Qingqiu was unmoved: "You obviously know that Concubine Li's child was not made by me, but you still let this basin of sewage splash on the concubine, the concubine understands, you are the king of Zhao, the husband of many concubines, or the high saint, you are the one who is grounded, and you are the one who lifts the ban, is the saint's decision that I can shake by saying a 'no'?" ”
Guan Qingqiu looked directly at Shen Yan, and there was no trace of dodging in his eyes.
She wants to gamble on how much Shen Yan has a friendship with her, and to what extent she can tolerate it.
Shen Yan's eyes dimmed, and he laughed softly and scolded: "Unreasonable little things, now they dare to point their noses and say that I am not, you yourself say with your conscience, when did I use the emperor's name to overpower you, and I am still high?" That's a bit unreasonable. ”
Guan Qingqiu glared at him lightly, but he didn't struggle, allowing Shen Yan's palm to wrap his cold hand again, and the scorching temperature flowed from the epidermis to the blood.
is so gentle, as if he is not a monarch who has mastered killing, but an ordinary man.
Guan Qingqiu lowered his head and was not easy to notice, pursed his lips and smiled.
As long as...... If you like it enough, you'll have enough of everything.
"What do you want?" Shen Yan's sudden voice startled Guan Qingqiu, and she covered up uncomfortably: "It's nothing." ”
Shen Yan looked at her face with some suspicion, Guan Qingqiu's face remained unchanged, and his expression was as usual, and after patrolling around, Shen Yan finally looked away.
He has been in the palace for so many years, and his observation of words and emotions can be said to be something seared in his bones, and after becoming the emperor, he paid more attention to the true thoughts of his courtiers.
It is said that the eyes of the courtiers are good, in fact, the king who can see through the hearts of the people can properly control the courtiers, so Shen Yan sees people very accurately, every time he looks like this, he seems to be able to see something through the long eyelashes that hang down, as if he is thinking about something disturbing in his head.
Shangguan Rong was not as weak as he saw for the first time, although most of the side she showed was docile, but it was not the same as the human atmosphere in the harem.
For example, she has never been jealous of other concubines, she is as graceful and indifferent as a queen, and she is not happy when she sees other concubines inviting pets, but Shangguan Rong is different, not pretending to be calm, but not caring at all, and she is actually not timid, and she is not timid in front of the queen and concubine.
Just like she was blunt in front of him just now, she was not afraid that her power of life and death was in her own hands, and when she lowered her head, she couldn't tell what idea she had in her heart.
Shen Yan glanced at her lightly,
Guan Qingqiu pretended not to see it, and said in a low voice: "The concubine thinks she is going to die." ”
"What nonsense." Although Shen Yan said this, his tone did not mean to blame.
Guan Qingqiu took the opportunity to say: "The concubine is not nonsense, how long has it been, first framed, then poisoned, the concubine thinks that the harem may not be able to tolerate me, it is better to go to ......"
Shen Yan interrupted her with a smile: "What's not as good as what?" ”
Guan Qingqiu didn't dare to say it, although Shen Yan smiled, his words were cold.
Shen Yan took a deep breath before regaining her composure, raised her hand and kissed it affectionately, and her words were gentle and unquestionable: "Don't say such things next time." ”
Shen Yan has been stable for so many years, and now that he is still a man-eating beast in his bones, not a weak rabbit.
Guan Qingqiu nodded.
Shen Yan helped him tuck the quilt: "You have a good rest, I will come back in the evening." ”
Guan Qingqiu said softly.
The curtain was lifted and closed, the remnants of the flowers fell one by one, the sorrow was fine like a net woven and embroidered in the red bricks and blue tiles, the faint cinnamon fragrance outside floated in, thick and presumptuous burned out the autumn twilight, and then in the distance was the vast sky and the endless palace, Shen Yan's clothes flew in the air in a flash.
Maybe it was because the autumn was dimming too quickly, and soon the air fell silent, and Shen Yan's figure soon became hazy, ethereal like an uncertain long road ahead.
