Chapter 45: Arouse the desire to survive
"Noble, I beg you, don't punish the slave and maid for going to the Xinzhiku, the slave and maid know that they are wrong." As soon as Liuzhu heard that Wen Xiuxiu was promoted to a nobleman, she was going to be punished to Xinzhiku, and knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
Wen Xiuxiu was embarrassed and lifted Liuzhu up, "This is not what I meant, it is the emperor's will, didn't you say that resisting the decree is a capital crime?" If you do this, won't you let me die? ”
Liuzhu heard Wen Xiuxiu say this, but closed her mouth, she didn't understand, whether this noble man was pretending to be confused, or deliberately sarcastic her, but whether it was the former or the latter, she would not let her go, she naturally followed the head of the Internal Affairs Office with interest.
Hongli entered the palace to face the saint, and met the doctor on the way, "Wechen has seen the prince, the prince, please take a step to speak." ”
The doctor pulled Hongli to the corner and avoided the entourage, "Concubine Tong slipped the fetus, the emperor didn't know about the pregnancy, and Concubine Tong was grounded, I didn't dare to report this matter to the emperor, this time, Concubine Tong was afraid that she could only knock out her teeth and swallow blood!" ”
"I'm going to beg Huang Ama to let him be spared the grounding of Eniang."
"You are still the emperor's son, the emperor's character, don't you know, the bell must be tied to the bell, Concubine Tong is not convinced, I'm afraid she won't be able to get out of Chuxiu Palace, now I'm most afraid that she will lose her will to save her life, you can persuade the best." After the doctor finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed and left.
Hongli pondered all the way, how to open his mouth so as not to anger him.
"Your Majesty, Prince Bao asks to see you!" Father-in-law Chen came in to report.
"Accurate!"
"Erchen greets Huang Amma!"
"Come, come and sit!" The emperor beckoned Hongli to come over and sit with him for tea.
"Huang Ama, seeing that the New Year is coming, I have prepared some New Year's goods and want to send them to Eniang."
"No need, she doesn't deserve to be your mother." The emperor sternly refused.
"Huang Ama, for so many years, Eniang has always carefully taught the child, she is one year younger than her son, but when Eniang is not inferior, the teaching is well-taught, and the care is moderate, even if she is not to the emperor Ama in every way, but the child always calls her Eniang, the sheep has the grace of kneeling milk, the crow has the righteousness of feeding, the child can not be ungrateful, so that the world will laugh, ask the emperor Ama to be gracious, let the sons go to visit every three or five times."
was said by Hongli, the anger in the emperor's heart disappeared a lot, in fact, she did not betray me, it was I who was too narrow-minded and hurt Heber, so she said disrespectfully, "That's it, it's right." ”
"Erchen Xie Huang Ama, if Huang Ama has nothing important to order, Erchen will go to visit Eniang first." Hongli, who values love and righteousness, is a little forgetful because of the emperor's approval.
"Here, oracle card!" The emperor handed him the token of the oracle, and Hongli went to the palace full of joy.
But the emperor thought about it, no, she regarded Heber's safety as more important than her feelings for me, what is this not a betrayal? Never forgive.
Seeing Hongli coming, Yu Lan was excited, took the prince's hand, couldn't speak for a long time, and tears of excitement moistened her eyes.
"E-niang, are you good?"
"Lord Wang, go and persuade it! Niangniang is bent on death, always refraining from eating or drinking, and her body is weak. ”
Hongli listened to Yu Lan's words, and hurriedly walked into the house, where Orange Creek was lying there, with a pale face, chapped lips, sunken eyes, and a thin and inhuman shape, like a dead corpse.
"Eniang......" Hongli walked to the bed and cried out in pain.
Hearing Hongli's voice, Orange Creek opened his eyes slightly and said in that weak voice, "Hongli, why are you here." Qiang squeezed out a smile.
"Eniang, how can you give up on yourself like this, you still have Hongday, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Hongday, Hongday is still so young, can you bear to abandon him?" Hongli persuaded hard.
"Yu Lan, go and bring Hongday." Hongli said to Yu Lan who was standing aside.
"Have you forgotten Ping'er Gege? If you are gone, how those people will treat Hongday, you should know better than Erchen in your own heart, only by living well and working hard can you ensure that the people you care about are not harmed. ”
Orange Creek listened to Hongli's words, and actually cried, this is Yu Lan also brought Hongday in, "Come to Hongday, come here." ”
Hongli poured a glass of water on the table and walked to the bed, "This is the crane top red given to me by the doctor, and a drop will kill." Hongli took out a bottle and poured the contents of the bottle into the bowl, "If E-Niang really doesn't want to live, let Erchen send Hongyang on the road for you first, lest he stay and be tortured." ”
Hongli pinched Hongday's mouth, and as he spoke, he wanted to pour poison into Hongday's mouth.
Seeing this, Yu Lan hurriedly stopped, "Don't! Hongli pushed her to the ground with a backhand and continued to administer medicine.
Orange Creek finally couldn't help it, and got up with the last of her strength to stop it, "Don't, don't hurt Hongyang." She rolled off the bed and fell to the ground, crawled to Hongtian with difficulty, and howled and cried when she hugged Hongyang.
"E-niang, E-niang, don't cry, who bullied you." Hongday, who was still unreasonable, saw E-Niang crying, and wiped her tears with her little hands.
Hearing Hongday's voice, Orange Creek couldn't help it even more, crying so much that her liver and intestines were broken.
Seeing this, Hongli finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Yu Lan next to him cried a lot! Seems to be sadder than Orange Creek.
Hongli squatted down, "Okay, Eniang, it's good to cry, in the past, you taught the child, the child was incompetent, this is the only thing the child can do for you, as for how to regain the favor of the emperor, you have to rely on yourself." ”
After speaking, Hongli exited the room, and when he saw the leisurely people in the courtyard, he looked for it carefully, "Yu Lan!" ”
Yu Lan heard the shouts and rushed out, "Lord Wang, what are your orders?" ”
"Why don't you see Wen Xiuxiu?"
"Wen Xiuxiu?" Yu Lan scratched her head, thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered, "Oh! Isn't it, the person who called Sister Niangniang in the General's Mansion that day. ”
"Yes! She begged me to send her into the palace, saying that she was coming to serve Eniang, why didn't she see anyone? ”
"Lord Wang, you don't know yet! Now she's it! is the most favored nobleman around the emperor, how can he come to serve our disgraced mother. ”
Hearing this, Hongli had a feeling that he had been deceived, what a thousand miles to find sisters, it turned out that he wanted to use them to enter the palace. Anyway, she didn't do anything hurtful, let her go!
At the same time, Heber couldn't hold it anymore and went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to intercede.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have something to ask for." Heber knelt on his knees and saluted.
"If you plead for Concubine Tong, you don't have to open your mouth! It's nothing important, just go back," the emperor suppressed the anger in his heart and hurried out of the house, he was afraid that if he continued to be entangled like this, it was not impossible to kill Heber in a fit of anger.
"Your Majesty ......" Heber still wanted to speak, he couldn't bear to be grounded in Orange Creek, and he couldn't bear to have a bad life for her.
"What? What I said didn't work? Not to go yet. The emperor slapped the table and yelled.
Heber didn't dare to ask for it again, worried, and withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Hall with a depressed face.
When he returned to the General's Mansion, Hebo still had a sad face, "Cousin, you're back!" Prince Bao has been waiting for you for a while. ”
"Where is the prince waiting?"
"The living room, that face! It stinks as much as you do. ”
Heber hurried to the living room, "Wechen has seen the prince!" ”
"Look at your expression, what? Hit a wall, right? Hongli smiled wickedly.
"Didn't the prince just now cover the sun? Why is the sun shining again all of a sudden? Heber was still worried about not being able to help Orange Creek, and when he saw the treacherous smile on the prince's face, he couldn't accept it.
"Huh! Because I have seen E-Niang, I believe that it will not be long before E-Niang will return to Huang Ama's side. Hongli said confidently.
"Is this true?"
"What does the general think?"
Heber knelt down with a plop, "Thank you for your lord, thank you for saving your sister from fire and water." ”
"Okay! Get up! This king just wants to inform you, don't mess with the emperor again, I have also heard a thing or two about you and Eniang, and now you can only respond to all changes with the same, although it is a little difficult, but I believe that Eniang will not let us down. After saying that, Hongli went out and left.
Looking at the back of Hongli leaving, Heber breathed a long sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally fell.
"Nobleman, be careful, don't fall!" Yun Mei, the maid of the noble man, looked at the noble man on the tree under the big tree and cried out worriedly. A few eunuchs looked up under the tree with their hands outstretched, just in case.
"It's okay, it's all a piece of cake for me, I'll get the bird's nest right away, don't worry." Wen Xiuxiu returned confidently.
"My nobleman, which one are you singing?" The emperor who came to look for her on purpose, saw this scene, he was going to reprimand, the dignified nobleman, he completely ignored his manners, climbed the ladder and climbed the tree, but he really couldn't bear it, the noble man was born in a poor family, and he had not been taught etiquette, how could she be compared with those ladies?
"Your Majesty, I'm digging a bird's nest!" After getting along with the emperor for a while, Wen Xiuxiu was no longer as timid as when she first entered the palace, and her rural spirit was fully revealed. "Ah......h
"What's wrong?" Hearing Wen Xiuxiu's scream, the emperor asked worriedly.
"Woo...... It's been tossed in vain again, and the deceitful sparrow turned out to be an empty nest. The nobleman complained there.
"Since it's empty, come down quickly!"
Wen Xiuxiu slowly climbed down the bamboo ladder, and when she was almost at the end, the emperor personally carried her down. "You! In the future, I will stay in Qingshui Building, learn etiquette, write and read, when I will learn, and when you will be allowed to go out of Qingshui Building. ”
"Yes!" Wen Xiuxiu reluctantly responded.
"If you can't learn, don't think about seeing me again." I don't know if I saw the shadow of Orange Creek in her, the emperor was very tolerant of her, doubly favored, doubled care, the more she paid, the happier she was.
"Huh? All right! ”
"Let's go! Go back to Qingshui Tower, so as not to do anything wrong outside. Everyone went towards Qingshui Tower.
After Hongli's hard persuasion, Orange Creek finally has the desire to survive, but even if he is not dead, how meaningful is it to be imprisoned alive in this Chuxiu Palace, like a frog at the bottom of a bird's well in a cage.
Yes, she must get rid of the shackles that trapped her, for herself, for Hongday, for General Heber, but after thinking for a long time, she has nothing to do.
"Niangniang, what are you thinking?" Seeing Orange Creek sitting there in a daze, Yu Lan couldn't help but ask.
"Oh! It's okay, I just thought about what the Imperial Dining Room would deliver tonight. ”
"Niangniang, have you forgotten about Prince Bao? Why is it that you just eat and drink every day, and you don't see how to find a way? ”
"Huh! Figured it out? I can't do it, what good way can I think of? If the emperor was so easy to settle, the Qing Dynasty would have been gone long ago. Orange Creek was embarrassed, and his face was full of sadness.
