088 The Empress and General Shen are old acquaintances
Shen Zhe had a fever. After carrying most of the day in such a big wind and rain, his wet clothes were dried and drenched by his body, over and over again, the night breeze was so cold, he blew the wind all the way back, and the cold that invaded his body quickly knocked him down, and such a strong person was sick when he said he was sick.
The family was busy taking care of the general, and the doctor came two or three, and he did everything, and then said to the hostess: "The general is strong and strong, and this cold and heat will be fine when it subsides, please rest assured." ”
Jiang Yunshang had also taken care of his sick family at home, so he would not panic, but tonight this man was lying honestly in front of him, even if he wanted to do anything to him, he would not be knocked unconscious, and he would not go to the study coldly, such a situation was too rare.
Naturally, it was impossible for Yunshang to do anything, Shen Zhe burned red all over, like a boiled shrimp, and even if he was asleep, he showed a painful expression, looking quite pitiful.
Originally, for the words of the eldest princess Huiyi, Yunshang wanted to ask Shen Zhe what he had to do with the queen, although what if he asked, it was all in the past, and it may not happen in the future, but Yunshang wanted to understand, she wanted to know if it was because she was coldly treated by her newlywed husband because of the queen.
As she once said to her cousin, she doesn't want to marry someone she hasn't met, she has loved to understand everything since she was a child, and this kind of character is really not very pleasing in the eyes of her elders, probably in this capital.
"Sleep, sleep, tomorrow." Yunshang sighed, reached out and touched Shen Zhe's forehead, it was still frighteningly hot, she was about to go to the ice water to get a handkerchief to cover his forehead, but she heard the man say with difficulty: "Cold ......"
"What did you say?" Yunshang approached her husband and listened carefully, but Shen Zhe repeated that word. Cold.
The autumn quilt is neither thick nor thin, and he is covered with another layer, but he is afraid that he will be too stuffy to breathe, Yunshang is holding up a quilt to cover Shen Zhe, but seeing her husband's lips squirming slightly, and the handsome face is so beautiful even to make a painful expression, Yunshang sighed in her heart and involuntarily put down the quilt.
"Madam, the general's medicine ......" the maids came in, and Yunshang turned around and ordered, "Put it down, you all stand down, I will guard the general." ”
The maids didn't dare to object, they retreated one after another, and Yunshang went to get the medicine, but she couldn't move Shen Zhe at all, and only stuffed half a bowl into it after feeding for a long time, and she was already so tired that she was out of breath. The rapid gasping made a thought in her heart, and she got up and blew out a few candles, unfastened her belt, and her clothes slipped down one by one.
The slender man quickly got into bed and got into her husband's quilt, the sleeping person would not resist at all, and even when he felt the warm body approaching, he involuntarily calmed down, sleeping two people in a quilt, Jiang Yunshang used her body to warm the quilt for her husband, although the person who shouted cold burned her very uncomfortable, but she endured it, and in the second half of the night Shen Zhe began to chill, and her skin was smooth and greasy together, she also endured it, and then fell asleep unconsciously.
Young and strong body, sick and welled quickly, he sweated all night after sleeping, and at dawn the next day, Shen Zhe woke up naturally, and for the first time in his life, he woke up with a woman in his arms. This surprise made him completely sober.
"You ......" Shen Zhe gently pushed his wife, "Yunsheng, wake up." ”
The sleeping man opened his eyes lazily, as if he had forgotten the events of the previous night for a while, and when he opened his eyes and saw his husband, he was startled at first, but as soon as he woke up, he remembered what had happened. She broke free from her husband's arms in a panic, widened her eyes and said, "Don't think nonsense, I didn't do anything to you, I just wanted to help you keep warm, and you kept shouting cold." She pulled a few clothes over her body, but such words and actions made her feel inexplicably sad, glanced at her husband, dragged the clothes and turned her back to put them on.
When Jiang Yunshang came again, Shen Zhe had already sat up, he had a high fever, and his body was still a little weak, probably because he felt weakness under his feet, and he didn't force himself to stand up, but when he saw Yunsheng, he said gently and sincerely: "Yunsheng, thank you, thank you for your hard work." ”
"It's not hard, it's good if you're sick, you can't avoid the heavy rain yesterday." Yunshang didn't dare to look at his gentle eyes, lowered his head and wrapped the shawl around the crook of his arm, and as he spoke, all the words in his heart poured out.
"You've been so busy lately, you haven't eaten and slept well, no wonder a rain knocked you down. I don't blame you, but if someone says it, especially the Queen Mother, what if they blame me for not taking good care of you? I know you don't like me and don't want to marry me, but now that we're like this, it's just at home, and outside, will you protect me? Those noble ladies, the ladies in the palace, and your aunt and the Queen Mother, I really can't cope with it. The people of the Jiang family are relying on my cousin to save face, and they think that they are a noble family with relatives of the emperor from now on, but what our Jiang family is like in Jizhou, you know, my cousin's family can't be compared with Ruoyao's cousin's family at all, our family is not even as good as my cousin's family, I don't have that kind of extravagance that grows in my bones, if you dislike it, I can't do it. ”
As the bride spoke, her eyes turned red. In fact, it's been almost a month, and after a month of marriage, she shouldn't call her a bride anymore, but Jiang Yunshang is still the yellow flower girl, she hasn't had a round house with her husband yet, and last night's mutual warmth was the closest one, but early in the morning, she was scared and ran away. Since her husband moved to the study, in fact, she didn't even have the reckless urge to force Shen Zhe, because she was cold.
Yunshang sniffed and smiled reluctantly: "I'm going to wash up, you sweated a lot last night." She turned around and left in a chic manner, but there was a faint sadness in her back, of course Shen Zhe saw it in her eyes, but he still didn't think about what kind of future he wanted to give Jiang Yunsheng.
When he sent Min'er back to the palace, he thought that he had given up completely, and he was calm and indifferent for a while, because he had never fought for it, and in fact, he couldn't even talk about losing.
However, when he decided to use marriage to show his loyalty to his cousin and stand firm on his own position, the concern for Min'er in his heart became deeper and deeper, marrying Jiang Yunsheng, and after experiencing all kinds of things with her, not only did the concern not fade away, but even made him almost rush to Shangyang Hall yesterday.
Shen Zhe shook his head, his head swelled badly after the fever, he lightly punched twice, calm down, he must be calm, he must not harm Min'er, himself, and Jiang Yunsheng.
On this day, after the rain, the water level of the Taiye Pool also receded, the Shangyang Hall bloomed again, the palace people inspected the place where the bridge deck was cracked, with the water waves stabilized, the cracked place naturally healed again, the craftsmen knocked Ding Ding Dong all morning, re-strengthened the bridge, how to overhaul and improve, and wait for the emperor to come back to make a decision.
The queen mother was worried about Min'er, so she called her away, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a long time, and it was also in this half day that there were rumors in the palace that General Shen braved the rain to stay by the Taiye pool for the safety of the queen, and even fell ill because of it.
Originally, this was what the Queen Mother told Shen Zhe to do, at first she just asked her nephew to take a look, but later she heard that he was staying there, although the Queen Mother had some concerns in her heart, she felt that it was ugly to take her nephew away strongly, he was protecting the queen for the emperor in a bright way, what could not be.
This rumor is a little untenable, but I don't know when, I don't know from whose mouth, suddenly came out of the queen's and Shen Zhe's past, and everyone knew for a while that General Shen had passed by Yuanzhou and was an old acquaintance with the queen.
When the Queen Mother heard such rumors, her face was very ugly, and she didn't know what to say to Min'er, but Min'er calmly thought about what was going on.
It is a fact that Shen Zhe passed by Yuanzhou, but he clearly knew that Shen Zhe had seen Min'er back then, and there were few people in the total, in other words, even if others knew that General Shen led troops through Yuanzhou to suppress the bandits, they could not be sure whether Shen Zhe and Qiu Min'er had ever met, and arbitrarily said that they were "old acquaintances", there is no doubt that someone deliberately exaggerated the facts and wanted to make a fuss about the two of them.
But if you think about it a little deeper, Min'er and Shen Zhe rarely see each other and hardly say anything, so where did the person who involved their relationship make the initial judgment?
"Min'er?" The Queen Mother called softly and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking, child?" ”
Min'er came back to her senses and shook her head: "The concubine didn't think about anything. ”
The queen mother knew that she was insincere, but she had always seen her daughter-in-law's performance, and she had made this kind of rumor, it was the people in this palace who wronged her, and of course the queen mother could not blame her daughter-in-law, but she still felt a little guilty.
"It's okay, I'll bring Concubine Shu and let her teach those long-tongued women a lesson." The Queen Mother said.
Min'er smiled faintly: "The queen mother is angry, let it go, if the concubine and you are nervous, people still think that we are weak-hearted, what matters now is that the emperor is fighting outside, and the concubines are always thinking about the emperor." ”
The Queen Mother was overjoyed and asked, "Are you really thinking about it all the time?" ”
Min'er was stunned and nodded silently.
Thousands of miles away in Qiangshui Pass, the emperor and his entourage have arrived, of course he will not know what is happening in the palace, when he was away for seven years, he completely left his home alone, and now he is also focused on the war, but occasionally when he is idle and calm, Min'er's figure will appear in his mind, and her quiet and gentle smile is Xiang Ye's peace of mind.
At this moment, Qin Zhuang had just been summoned, and when the people arrived, Xiang Ye immediately cheered up, took Qin Zhuang to the sand table, pointed to a place and said, "I plan to attack the Nanban camp at night." ”
Qin Zhuang's eyes flashed a strange gaze, but the emperor didn't see it, he only saw Qin Zhuang's fighting spirit, and said with a grinding fist: "The emperor will teach the minister to do it, and the minister must have taken the barbarian's nest." ”
Xiang Ye smiled and said: "You are so different from Shen Zhe, that kid will always say to me before thinking twice, and if he comes out with you, he will be happy." ”
In the capital, Shen Zhe was recuperating at home, and the Queen Mother issued a strict decree that he was not allowed to go out for three days, but it was only half a day, and he couldn't sit still. At this time, the maid brought the decoction, and when he was about to drink it, Jiang Yunshang came in from outside the door and ordered the maids to retreat without saying anything.
Shen Zhe glanced at her disapprerovingly, and continued to drink the medicine, not wanting Yunshang to step forward and take the medicine bowl, splash the decoction on the ground, and throw the bowl on the table, that posture, Shen Zhe seemed to have only seen it on Huiyi's body, which made him extremely disgusted, and the person who has always been gentle also cooled down: "What are you doing?" What's wrong with it? ”
"This is the medicine I boiled, I don't want to drink it for you." Jiang Yunshang said coldly, "I thought you really fell ill in a rain because you were too tired, it turns out that you were in the rain all day long in order to protect the queen mother?" It's all over the world now, and I'm a fool to be so worried about you last night. ”
