Chapter Seventy-Three: Dare to Let Me Get Out
Yuehua knelt in Ci'an Palace until the time of the lamp, the Empress Dowager had dinner and wanted to go to bed early, as if she suddenly remembered Yuehua kneeling in the courtyard outside, her anger disappeared, and she waved her hand to retreat.
Yuehua's body had already been frozen, her whole body was almost numb, she knelt on the ground, and moved two steps with great effort to find that her legs were no longer her own.
Mama Qin and Xiangshen had been waiting outside Ci'an Palace for a long time, came in in three steps and two steps, stuffed the hand stove into Yuehua's arms, wrapped her tightly with a cloak, and then went to support her, she said with a sad face: "Mama Qin, I don't seem to be able to walk anymore." ”
Mama Qin was taken aback: "The old slave rubbed it for you, isn't it that the blood is not circulating and your legs are numb?" ”
Yuehua shook her head: "Not only is it numb, but my waist is also stiff, and I can't move at all." ”
"Oh, how is this good? After these days, my back disease finally got better. ”
"It's cold in your body." Mama Lin walked out of the house and took a bowl of hot ginger soup in her hand: "Drink the ginger soup quickly and go to the cold." ”
Yuehua was supported, and finally stood up, because her hands couldn't stop trembling, so she could only take a small sip of Mama Lin's hand, and drank it in a small sip, only to feel a hot current rolling down her stomach, and her body was hot.
"Are you feeling better?" Mama Lin asked with concern.
Yuehua nodded, her teeth couldn't help but still tremble: "It's much better, thank you Mama Lin." ”
"Hurry up and go back and make some braziers and roast them." Mama Lin turned around and instructed the palace people behind her: "Go and call a soft sedan chair for the queen." ”
Mama Qin reached out to support Yuehua's hand, and exclaimed, "Why is it so icy?" It's useless to hold the stove, I'm afraid it won't be able to slow down for a while, but it's not the root of the disease. ”
Yuehua smiled forcefully: "Don't call it a soft sedan chair, I'll walk, walk in a hurry, maybe I can sweat." ”
Mama Lin said suddenly: "Why don't you take the queen to the soup urn in the back garden, the most important thing is to go to the cold, and you will be able to protect your whole body." ”
Mama Qin also clapped her hands and said, "Why did you forget that good place, naturally make it, go quickly." ”
Yuehua was a little inexplicable: "What is the place to go in the soup urn?" ”
The soft sedan chair had already been called, and Mama Qin and Xiangshen helped Yuehua onto the soft sedan chair with great effort, this is Yuehua's habit, she doesn't like eunuchs to serve closely.
"Niangniang will get on the sedan chair first, and the old slave will tell you."
The eunuchs lifted the soft sedan chair, and Mama Qin ordered: "Go to Lantangquan." ”
The eunuchs immediately walked like flying, and Yuehua also understood where they were going. It is a living water spring located in the back garden, the four seasons are boiling like boiling water, the tentacles are hot, and some herbs and orchids are planted by the pool, so that the whole water is fragrant medicine. It is said that the soup bath inside can relax the muscles and invigorate the nerves, dispel the cold, and strengthen the body.
It's just that the water temperature is hotter than that of ordinary hot springs, and ordinary people are not blessed. In her situation today, if she could soak in the spring water for half an hour, she would definitely be able to sweat all over her body, and there would definitely be no trace of cold left.
She was still a little apprehensive: "I heard that the emperor occasionally goes there, but don't be surprised." ”
Mama Qin said confidently: "Although Niangniang can rest assured, she is waiting outside the door, I heard that the emperor has gone to Jun Jieyu, and she must have rested at this time." ”
Yuehua was relieved.
The soft sedan chair went straight through the intersection back to Qingqiu Palace and did not enter, and Mama Qin instructed Xiangshen: "You will run on the road and bring some of the clothes that the mother has changed." ”
Xiang Shen responded and trotted all the way back. The soft sedan chair entered the medicinal soup spring, and a little eunuch came out to greet him, and when he saw that the queen arrived, he was naturally very attentive.
Yuehua shook her head at Mama Qin, and Mama Qin immediately replied, knowing that Yuehua had never liked to be served by others when she was bathing, let alone a eunuch. So he sent a few little eunuchs and ordered them to guard outside the courtyard, and not to enter for half a step.
"The old slave will stay at this door, help the mother to watch the wind, if you need anything, call the old slave."
So in line with Yuehua's mind, she pushed the door into the orchid soup spring, and felt the heat and the fragrance of medicine, mixed with the fragrance of orchids, all the pores of her body were opened, and she was already comfortable.
There is a glass lamp at the top of the hot spring, and the red candles are burning all around, and the tent is rippling, isolating the cool breeze seeping in from the outside. Because of the heat, it is hazy and hazy to see the virtual and the real, the curtain of the gauze and the shadow of the candle are intertwined, long and short, ethereal, and the water vapor is swirling, like a fairyland on earth.
Yuehua first approached the soup spring, and reached into the medicinal spring to be careful and tentative, because her hands were cold, and she felt even more unbearable. But he couldn't resist the temptation, relieved the Luo belt, took off the green Luo shirt, removed the hairpin ring, slid down a head like a waterfall and green silk, took off the embroidered shoes and socks, revealing a pair of pointed spring bamboo shoots like green frost and white jade, and carefully tested the warmth. At the heart of the foot, which had long been frozen and numb, I only felt a hot rush to the top of my head, and I couldn't help but shiver.
Carefully, sliding down little by little, frowning and enduring the hot spring water, Yuehua's whole body was immersed in the water, only to feel that every pore in his body was opened, and the cold air that was scurrying in his body scrambled to escape, and then the heat poured into his body, and the hot sweat slowly soaked out of his head.
She muttered comfortably, rubbed her sore waist, closed her eyes lazily, and wished she could sleep like this.
Xiangshen came in lightly, put a clean place for a change of clothes and a handkerchief, put the balsam and other things on the edge of the pool, and asked Yuehua if she needed to serve. Yuehua shook her head lazily, she was dressed heavily today, and she really felt stuffy and hot inside, so she quietly retreated and waited outside the door.
I don't know how long I soaked it, but I heard the incense sinking at the door, as if talking to the eunuchs. She finally felt that she was back in the world, slowly raised her jade lotus-like arms, pulled up the hair behind her, and then spread it back out, stretched comfortably, and slowly opened her eyes.
The candle shadow rippled, and there seemed to be a figure flickering between the tents.
"Xiangshen, help me bring my clothes, I've been hungry for a long time, and I'm a little dizzy. Remember to tell Mama Qin to keep an eye on the door, and don't let those little eunuchs break in recklessly. ”
"Xiang Shen" didn't answer, but there were slow steps, accompanied by the sound of clothes and ribbons, and walked forward.
"It's really a good place to go, the cold all over my body has dissipated, and my bones seem to be burned, I really don't have any strength, you can pull me."
Yuehua just closed her eyes and talked to herself, wiped a handful of water vapor on her face, and lazily stretched out a lotus root arm like jade, the fragrant skin was slippery, deceiving the frost and snow, and the crystal water droplets slipped down, sliding down the fragrant shoulders to the delicate collarbone, Yingying trembled.
A pair of well-proportioned, strong hands reached over and grasped her slender fingers, the thin calluses sharpened between the fingertips were a little rough.
Man!
Yuehua woke up suddenly, raised her head in shock, and stood a majestic figure in the backlight in the heat, leaning forward towards her, bending down, where is the terrifying coercion of Xiangshen's petite figure?
She was instantly gone! Before he had time to look at the man's eyebrows, he twisted his wrists, broke free of the big hands, and slapped the water with a quick and ashamed slap, and countless hot splashes rushed towards the door of the man's face, forcing him to turn his head and dodge, splashing all over his body.
Didn't Xiang Shen and Mama Qin stay at the door? How did you let the eunuchs in?
She hurriedly hid herself in the water, and scolded in a panic: "Get out!" ”
But the figure straightened up, did not retreat, but took another step forward, and a chuckle escaped from the tip of his throat, low and hoarse, leisurely.
"You came to my medicinal spring to enjoy it, and you dare to let me get out?"
It turned out to be the emperor!
How so? How did he get here? Didn't Mama Qin say that he had already gone to Jun Jieyu's palace to rest? Why didn't Xiang Shen stay at the door?
Yuehua's mind was "buzzing", and it was blank, and her whole body was hot, a little more burning than the warm soup, and the skin like jade was as delicate and pink as rouge.
Almost without even thinking about it, she plunged into the water, leaving only her hair rippling above the water.
