Chapter Fifty-Three: Growing Old Together
I was so hungry that I didn't sleep all day and all night, and I couldn't eat or drink for two days, and I seemed to have a low-grade fever and muttered.
I seemed to see someone walking towards me in a daze, and I instinctively opened my eyes, and I saw the jade spirit squatting down towards me.
I was a little aggrieved and wanted to cry, and the moment I saw him, I said, "Why did you come here, where have you been recently"
The aggrieved crying and the words he opened made his heart melt.
"I went to the northwest in the past few days, changed the tiger talisman of the Northwest Army, and got the real Tiger Talisman of the Northwest Army. I'm sorry I was late and made you suffer. He gently took me into his arms and took out the pastries and water from them.
He slowly fed me the pastries, and I saw the dead rat who had eaten the steamed bun and died next to him, and the fat rat retched when he saw that I was sick to my stomach.
"I'll take you out." I looked at his rapidly emaciated face and stubble growing in the last few days, and the first thing he should have done when he returned to the capital was to see me.
Thinking of this, I said to him: "I won't go out, otherwise Concubine Liang will catch this point." Don't worry, I'm not going out, I'm going to be fine. You should have a lot to discuss with the prince, so go ahead. ”
"Qianmo, you are more important than anything else. I didn't know that their hands and feet were so fast, and when my father ordered me to go to the northwest, I guessed that they would do something to you, and I wrote to the girl to remind her to be careful. ”
"Why haven't I received your letter?" I muttered softly, thinking of the scene today when the girl saw me surrounded and left, and a great betrayal rose from my heart.
"When did you send me the letter?" I grabbed his robe and asked softly in his arms, but my mind was thinking quickly.
"Just a few days before the Prince's birthday, on that day I gave you a map of the Prince's Mansion and a letter to you. Did you only receive a map, not a letter? I listened to his words, my brain exploded, with disbelief, wrinkling my brows and asking him, "I received several letters later, but did you really send letters on the day you sent the map of the prince's mansion?" ”
The girl won't betray me, she won't.
"Well, I wrote to you to keep you at the end of your father's embankment. Because since the last time you were sick and I went to your house to take care of you, I saw Xiangye and Youwang discussing something in the pavilion. And Xiangye is disrespectful to me, and he must have other plans in his heart. He told me honestly what he had seen and heard.
"Qianmo, I've been too busy this time, and I've killed a lot of people with these hands." He unfolded his calloused hands, which still had some crumbs of pastry.
I gently attached my hand to his face, but for a few days he still had the tiredness on his face, and the stubble that had just emerged, and said softly: "I only know that these hands have just fed me pastries." It's almost dawn, Yuling, you hurry up and find the prince. ”
I urged him to watch the sky glow with the white of a fish's belly.
He squinted, said I'll come back and pick you up as soon as possible, then put me down and hurried away.
Finally regained some spirits, and as soon as the whole person relaxed, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
I saw two creeps walking towards me, and the sound of unlocking woke me up, and I looked at the sky, and I had slept for an hour.
I saw that His Majesty's complexion was much better than that day, his spirit was still a little restored, and all the utensils and utensils in the emperor's bedroom had been emptied. Da Mingzi said that the origin of the emperor's illness was on an object in the room.
Everything was examined by the imperial physicians under the inspection of the prince.
As soon as I knelt down, a physician said, "Empress Qiyu, the emperor's jade pillow contains the pollen of mandala flowers, and with the tonic that His Majesty usually uses to replenish his body, the two are mutually restrictive, so Your Majesty's poisoning is caused by this." ”
Da Mingzi touched his gray beard and said: "The cause of the poisoning has been found, which proves that it is not a witchcraft, and the queen should let Qianmo go." "What I didn't expect was that it wasn't my dear father who spoke for me, but such an unrelated outsider.
I sneered, didn't I think it through the past two days in my cell?
"Although the cause of the emperor's illness is not because of Miss Yan's witchcraft, but Miss Yan's witchcraft is seen by everyone, does this also have to be written off?" Nian Huairou was a little unconvinced, regardless of the fact that she was not qualified to speak on such an occasion, and said that she was worried that I would be let go like this.
"It's not about Qianmo, I know. Who is cursing me, I also know" Although the emperor is still sick, when he speaks, he has a majesty, which makes Nian Huairou, who is ready to speak, close his mouth.
However, the last sentence smashed heavily into Liang Guifei's heart, making her feel a pain in her heart, and uneasiness slowly rose from the bottom of her heart.
"But Qianmo, I want to ask you, are you really dissatisfied with your marriage to the Spirit King?" His eagle-like eyes locked on me tightly, my heart sank, sure enough, this is the only thing His Majesty cared about, I looked up, and saw that the Spirit King seemed to be also nervously waiting for my answer, his light blue eyes stared at me, I smiled at him and then officially faced His Majesty's question.
"Nope." Although my body was tired, my eyes were terrifyingly firm, and I respectfully kowtowed to the critically ill emperor, and then said: "The courtier is very satisfied with the marriage with Yuling, and it is the happiness of the courtier's generation to be able to stay with Yuling. The courtiers didn't say these words because they were afraid of angering Long Yan, what the courtiers said today was the result of the courtiers' calm thinking. I know and love the Spirit King, and I am willing to grow old with him. ”
Knowing each other and falling in love, these words made Da Mingzi's eyes light up, if this girl finds true love, her illness will be cured.
I saw His Majesty's satisfied eyes, but his face was still serious, and he said to me as if he was tempted: "If you are not satisfied, I will not make it difficult for others, and it is okay to solve your marriage with Ling'er." ”
My heart was cold, if I really nodded, I was afraid that His Majesty was going to pick off the heads of all the people in my family, and I looked at Yuling for help here, but he was so indifferent at the moment that it was terrifying, as if the people on the ground had nothing to do with him at all, I squeezed my hands tightly until my nails were pinched into my flesh and blood, and then I knocked my forehead to the ground heavily, and said something that I will regret for half my life: "The courtier girl is the person of the spirit king, and death is the ghost of the spirit king, life and life, never change." ”
He waved his hand, as if relieved, and said to Yuling, "Your own daughter-in-law, you can take it back yourself." ”
These words just now seemed to be like a sharp arrow piercing the prince's heart, the queen glanced at her son worriedly, saw the prince's face darkened, and turned this anger to Nian Qianmo, who was kneeling on the ground at the moment, but at the moment in front of the prince, it was not easy to attack, only glared angrily at the woman kneeling on the ground.
I saw that the Spirit King at this moment also knelt beside me and said to the emperor: "The son is worried about Qianmo's safety in the Nian Mansion, and hopes that my father can agree that Qianmo can live in the Lingwang Mansion until he gets married, and also use this to cultivate feelings."
As soon as he said this, I felt several eyes fall on me.
I looked at everyone as if I had not yet done so, and all of them wished that I would refuse the Spirit King's request, except for the Emperor.
The angry eyes of the Ghost King stared at me, as if he wanted to make a few holes in me.
"What does Qianmo think?" Although the emperor was sick, his brain did not stop, coughing and kicking the ball to me.
"The courtiers also have this intention in their hearts, and hope that Your Majesty will fulfill it." I opened my mouth, and I could clearly feel the happiness of the man next to me who was about to overflow my chest, but my heart was slightly cold, and the man beside me was too deep.
Before I could finish thinking about it, I heard him open his mouth again, "Father, the minister will take Qianmo back first, she hasn't eaten a drop of water for the past two days, I'll take her back to the Lingwang Mansion to rest first." ”
He emphatically highlighted the three words of Lingwangfu, swept the year with a cold gaze, and then picked me up.
I was frightened and afraid of falling, so I instinctively reacted and hugged his neck, and I was carried out by him without even saying a word to the emperor that the courtiers had time to retire, this way was too eye-catching, and the whole palace saw that I was carried back to the Lingwang Mansion by the Spirit King.
"Yuling, I'm so tired."
I whispered in his ear.
"If you're tired, go to bed first, you haven't had a good rest these days."
Hearing him say this, I let go of my whole body, and I was so tired that I found a comfortable position in his arms and fell asleep.
The matter of the Spirit King carrying me into the Spirit King's Mansion, and the matter of entering the room and sleeping in the room was quickly known by the people of the Spirit King Mansion.
The two masters slept in broad daylight, and the prince of his own family was really anxious.
I didn't wake up when the Spirit King put me on the floor, and in the haze I felt someone gently peel off my clothes, and in my sleep there was an iron arm tightly around me, and I felt a big living person close to me.
The Spirit King tried to put his hand on my waist boldly, and when he saw that I was not awake, he kissed me on the forehead again, and when he saw that I didn't even raise my eyelids, he gently moved his lips all the way down.
I struggled to wake up feeling unable to breathe, but in the haze I saw a pair of trembling eyelashes, and Yu Ling was closing her eyes and kissing me softly on the lips.
I raised my hand slightly, alarmed him, I saw his panicked appearance, his hands and feet didn't know where to swing, embarrassed blushing, nervously explained: "I'm sorry Qianmo, I didn't mean to, I, I," I saw that he didn't say anything for a long time, and saw his red face sneering and laughing.
"Yuling, I'm not angry." I hugged him, feeling his stiff body and the sound of heavy breathing.
He gently lowered his head and looked into my eyes, and when he saw the teasing meaning in my eyes, he no longer smiled embarrassedly, and touched my head dotingly and said, "You."
After all this, I couldn't sleep.
