Chapter 213: Back to the pot
In the dark night, I can't see my fingers.
The wind blew a little hard, and the branches swayed.
This is probably the most deserted place in the deep palace, although it is far away from the harem, standing on the abandoned eaves, you can vaguely see the lights over there.
"Master, have you forgotten what you promised your apprentice?" Helian frowned, and there was both reproach and worry in his tone: "You said you wouldn't act rashly. ”
"How did you ever do what you promised to be a teacher?" Bai Shuo's clenched fist rattled: "Since I have found out who killed my junior sister, I must avenge my junior sister with my own hands." ”
"The apprentice knows that the master has never been afraid of imperial power, but if you do this rashly, it will involve innocent people." Helian said worriedly, "Don't you care about the queen either?" ”
At the mention of Cen Muning, Bai Shuo was silent.
Seeing that he was silent, Helian frowned and said, "The queen seems to have infinite scenery, but in fact, she has the same mind as you. But the enemy is her husband's favorite concubine. If she does something a little, it is likely to incur serious consequences......"
"That's why the teacher has to do it for her." Bai Shuo's fingers pinched and rattled: "She has already eaten too much bitterness......"
"I'm afraid that you will be too heavy and will burden her for no reason." Helian sighed: "If it weren't for this, the apprentice would have done it a long time ago." ”
"What are you afraid of?" Bai Shuo's face turned cold: "If the emperor is loyal and treacherous, and he blames Mu Ning, let's take her with us." ”
"Yes...... But ......," Helian hesitated and didn't say anything.
"But what?" Bai Shuo glanced at him dissatisfied.
The wind sounded uneasy, Helian lowered his eyes slightly, and said worriedly: "But the queen mother is the queen mother after all, and she also has her obsessions......
Bai Shuo glared at him very unhappily: "If it weren't for the fact that the teacher has been immersed in pain and can't extricate herself, she won't let her become Princess Ruiming." It's useless for you, you've been by her side for so long, and you haven't been able to make her fall in love with you and take her out of this place of right and wrong. As a teacher, he will naturally use his own methods to ask those who are sorry for his sister to go to Huangquan to bury his sister. ”
"Master......" Helian's heart trembled: "Don't forget, the skill you learned from Master Tai is to practice medicine." ”
"Nonsense." Bai Shuo was a little angry: "I remember for the teacher." ”
Helian didn't say it, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, if he really took the queen out of here. I'm afraid you're going to wash this deep palace in blood. The doctor who practiced medicine and saved his life became a demon who washed the forbidden palace overnight, only for fear of discrediting and leaving a stench for thousands of years. There is really a day when I met Master Tai under Jiuquan, how to explain.
"You go back first." The bean-sized raindrops hit Bai Shuo's face, and he suddenly felt that it was time.
"Master, where are you going?" Helian caught up with two steps anxiously: "What are you going to do when you pretend to be a divine doctor and enter the palace?" ”
"Impersonation?" Bai Shuo was very dissatisfied with the two words he used, and frowned: "As a teacher, he is a miracle doctor." Why pretend. Don't worry about anything else, just do what you have to do. ”
After saying that, Bai Shuo was like a bolt of lightning, quickly disappearing into the night.
The rain was so fast that the beaters couldn't open their eyes.
There was no way, Helian had to find a shelter from the rain for the time being. I hope Master doesn't break things impulsively. At this time, he suddenly wanted to see Cen Muning, there were some things, would it be better if he let her know......
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the window lattice ratted, waking up Cen Muning who was sleeping.
She sat up with her mouth covered, listened to the unsettling voice, and exhaled.
My hand unconsciously touched the pillow next to me, and the pillow was empty, and there was nothing. Only then did she remember Bingling's words, and Zhuang Xianchen went to the concubine.
In fact, Cen Muning didn't like the name given by the Queen Mother very much, Cang Pian, that word mercy, is one of the words in her mother's name. The emperor canonized Canglian with this word again, and every time she hears this honorific title and sees that person, she can't help but think of her mother.
"Ice Cream, Ice Cream ......"
The rain was louder than her voice, and after calling for a long time, she didn't hear Bingling answer.
Cen Muning had no choice but to put on embroidered shoes and go to close the window by herself.
But the moment he closed the window, he saw a dark shadow. "Who?" She lowered her voice and asked with a frown.
The shadow didn't say a word, didn't move, just stood in place.
This made Cen Muning very strange, if it was an assassin, shouldn't she come in and ask for her life at this time? What's more, after Cang Lian returned to the palace, she had already called Bingling and Qingli to be on guard, and the entire Fengling Hall was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the guards were twice as many as before. Someone came in, and the guards didn't even notice?
"Who the hell is it?" Cen Muning asked again.
The other party still stood like that, unresponsive.
In fact, Cen Muning couldn't see that person, she could only see a dark shadow reflected on the window lattice by the light of the corridor. It's strange, this person has been discovered, why don't you leave and make a sound?
Why the hell did he come here?
Standing quietly like this for a while, Cen Muning only felt more and more sleepy, and her eyes seemed to be unable to open.
Except for the sound of wind and rain, there is no human voice at all.
She shook her head, and with what little thought she had, she returned to the bed, then slipped into the thin quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up the next morning, everything seemed to be exactly the same as before she went to bed, nothing special.
Looking at the managed window lattice, she even thought that last night was a dream of hers.
Until Bingling walked into the inner room awkwardly, slightly flustered. She remembered that she didn't see her respond to how she called Bingling last night.
"Where were you last night?" Cen Mooning asked suspiciously.
"I didn't go anywhere, I just didn't know how to sleep so deeply, and I just woke up." Bingling smiled a little embarrassedly: "It was originally a slave who was in charge, but he fell asleep." The queen asked if she had called the slave last night? The slave didn't hear it. ”
"The wind blew the window lattice open last night, calling you to close it." Cen Muning smiled slightly: "Maybe you were too tired on an errand to hear it." ”
When Bingling heard this, his face turned blue and he walked neatly to the window lattice. She frowned, opened the window vigilantly, and carefully examined the situation outside, before returning with a frightened face. "Mother, someone came last night......"
"How so?" Cen Muning suddenly remembered that the black shadow was so real on the window lattice, and she felt a little creepy. I was able to go back to sleep with such peace of mind. She never thought that the dark shadow would do something harmful to her.
"Last night, the slave and maid closed the window herself, and last night the wind and rain were so strong, the slave and maid didn't hear it at all." Bingling felt incredible, and a chill ran down her spine: "What's even more terrifying is that there are still Ming and Qing Dynasties guarding outside the corridor, Niangniang, you get up and close the window for such a big movement, Ming and Qing don't know, isn't it strange?" Even if the slave and maid are asleep alone, it is impossible for everyone in the inner courtyard to fall asleep! ”
"Maybe I'm light." Cen Mooning smiled slightly, relieving Bingling's tension. "Aren't I fine now, nothing at all. You're just so tired when you're nervous all day. ”
"But ......"
"Don't." Cen Muning interrupted her: "Hurry up and pass someone in to serve and freshen up." ”
Bingling saw that she was calm and safe, so she didn't continue. "Yes."
Cen Muning vaguely felt that if someone really came in last night, then this person must know her. Otherwise, it would not be possible to stand there in such a daze, without saying a word or coming in.
The servants served her to change her clothes and put on makeup, and as soon as she finished dressing up, the Ming and Qing dynasties spread the word outside, saying that the deputy court had come to ask for peace.
"I'm a little hungry, Bingling, you go and boil some white porridge." Cen Muning didn't want Bingling to worry, so she deliberately pushed her away.
"Yes, sissy." When Bingling went out, Helian came in, and she quickly exchanged colors with him, making sure that something was going on, and then left with a little peace of mind.
"The queen looks in good spirits." Helian saluted respectfully: "Weichen has brought the tonic medicine for this period of time, please insist on taking it." ”
"Hmm." Cen Muning said to the servant on the side: "Take the medicine down first." ”
In fact, these things usually don't go through their hands. But today she really wanted to find out what happened last night, so she had to find an excuse to let these servants go down.
"Wait." Helian didn't give the medicine to those slaves, but said seriously: "Niangniang, I changed the medicine this time, and the method of taking it is different from before." Wechen will explain it to you in detail. ”
"Okay, you go down first." Cen Muning waited for the servants to leave before asking Helian: "It rained so heavily last night, can you sleep well?" ”
"Queen Xie is worried, everything is fine." Helian opened the medicine bag and said calmly: "This dose of medicine is taken every morning, after breakfast. Don't take it in the evening, let alone on an empty stomach......"
"It looked like someone was outside the window last night." Cen Muning suddenly spoke, just to see Helian's expression.
Sure enough, Helian's body trembled, and the medicine bag in his hand almost fell to the ground.
His reaction made Cen Muning very embarrassed. "My lord is worried about sneaking into the dormitory of the main palace so late. Aren't you afraid of being seen and incurred? ”
Helian wanted to defend himself, but the master's entry into the palace was a secret, and he hadn't allowed himself to tell the queen, so he had to be silent.
Cen Mu Ning saw that he didn't speak, and he was even more depressed. "My lord, this palace knows that you have always been loyal to this palace, and many times, when this palace is in trouble, it is all because of your help, but ...... Not to mention the difference between respect and inferiority, after all, you are a courtier, and this palace is the queen, even if you and I have a clear conscience, once this matter spreads, it will not benefit anyone. ”
"What the queen said is very true." Helian said embarrassedly: "Last night was because of the heavy rain, Weichen remembered what happened in the temple in the past, and he was confused for a while, so he strayed into the queen's bedroom." In fact, Wechen suffers from ...... Nocturnal wandering syndrome, which usually looks no different from normal people, but when the disease starts, it will walk aimlessly after falling asleep, and I am unconscious at the time, and I don't know what I am doing. disturbed the queen for no reason, and please forgive me. ”
"I see." Cen Muning breathed a sigh of relief a little: "I can't complain that the black shadow has been standing still last night." Since you know that you have such a disease, pay attention to yourself in the future and find someone to watch you sleep. It's nothing to do, and if you are considered an assassin, it will be troublesome. ”
"Thank you for your concern." Helian also breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that the queen could believe it. Master is also yes, the third watch came here in the middle of the night, and he was not afraid of scaring the queen. Thinking so, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead in embarrassment: "There are still some things to deal with in Weichen Tai Hospital, so I will retire first." Later, Wechen will tell Bingling Girl how to take these medicines. ”
"It's fine." Cen Mu Ning looked at his panicked appearance, thinking that he was also unintentional, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, when Helian came out, he was stopped by Bingling.
"The queen didn't care too much, but because she trusted the adult. But the slave had to be careful. If adults are just nocturnal wanderers, why do slaves and maids sleep so deeply, is there really no other reason for this? ”
"Of course it's true." Helian froze: "Don't worry, there will never be such a thing in the future." ”
With that, he hurriedly left the place.
Master, Master, you really can't be idle, you have to make some trouble. This black cauldron can only be carried by apprentices for you......
