Lu Yun was chatting happily with Rui Ji and Hailan in the pavilion of the ship, when she suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling into the water, and she stopped unconsciously. Hailan wondered: "What has fallen into the water and is still fluttering?" ”

Rui Ji listened to Xu Yu for a moment, and smiled disapprehantly: "I'm afraid that something on the shore has fallen into the water, right?" Yes, the road is slippery in the middle of the night, and there are also pedestrians falling into the water on the road. ”

Lu Yun was a little uneasy, and a pair of slender hands on the window wanted to open: "Why don't you open the window and see, don't anyone fall, right?" ”

Rui Ji dusted off the very festive peach brocade embroidered eight groups of flowering pipa placket flag on her body, and the dress was embroidered with silver branches full of patterns, and with her movements, she started to have a little silver light. She smiled and pressed Lu Yun's hand, and said casually: "What kind of window to open, carefully the cold wind rushed in and hurt your body." ”

Hailan listened for a moment, played with the green and jade glazed bean pods hanging from the buttons, and said with a smile: "Yes." When a person falls into the water, he doesn't call for help, but just flutters? Don't be a cat or a dog, that's fun. ”

The three of them laughed, looked at the closed six-sided vermilion lacquer window sash, and chatted to themselves.

The first to notice that the queen had fallen into the water was Ling Yunche.

Ling Yunche was originally the lowest-level imperial guard in front of the emperor, because the imperial ship was not as spacious as the Yangxin Palace, and there were many accompanying guards, and the lowest-level guards were arranged to the last guard of the imperial ship.

There was a faint fragrance of flowers floating around the bank, and Ling Yun could smell it as the smell of newly bloomed paulownia flowers. In the past, in the season of my hometown, such invaluable flowers bloomed all over the road. Tonghua Wanlidan Mountain Road, open is also splendid, and the fall is also colorful. He had studied in a private school for a few years, and although he was not proficient in writing, he knew a little. At that time, the spring was late, and the old master shook his head and read: "How can you dream of a thousand red and purple? Pressed tail tung flowers are also dusted. , called Ling Yunche, the Han Army flag is red flag coating. I've just changed my clothes at the moment, and I'm waiting outside to reply. ”

The Queen Mother was silent and only looked at the emperor. The emperor's mind was not on this, and he said casually: "Since it is Lan Ling's guard, then pass on my will, save the queen for meritorious service, reward three hundred taels of silver, and promote to a third-class guard." There's no need to call him in to thank you. ”

Ruyi smiled faintly, and as far as the eye could see, seeing that Yan Wan who was standing at the end looked a little uncomfortable, she turned her head and looked at Li Yu's decree.

After Qilu came out of the queen's palace, his face was not very good-looking, but when he saw that the emperor was anxious, he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the water in the queen's belly has been controlled." After Weichen and several imperial doctors diagnosed the pulse, the falling water did not have a deep impact on Niangniang's phoenix body, but looking at Niangniang's pulse, it was a state of anger and exhaustion. And the queen's mind has never been sober, and she is afraid of saying something like 'one report and one report'...... I'm just afraid ......"

Lu Yun listened to Qi Lu's words, and unconsciously shrank and shrunk, eager to melt into the crowd.

The emperor's heart sank suddenly, he already knew that it was not good, and said in annoyance for a while: "What are you afraid of? ”

The Queen Mother glanced at the trembling Qilu, and sighed: "The mourning family is old, what else can't be heard." Just say it. ”

Qi Lu said: "The queen's mother is weak and weak, which is a sign that the oil is running out and the lamp is dry, but I am afraid that it is on the occasion of dying." He kept wiping the sweat from his forehead and stammered, "But...... But...... The queen's mother is deeply blessed, and God blesses ......"

Before Qi Lu finished speaking, Princess Hejing couldn't bear it anymore, and whimpered and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? The emperor is in her prime, how can she run out of oil and run out? It's clear that your medical skills are not enough, so you are talking nonsense! ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Fu Jia, and Fu Jia hurriedly went up to support Princess Hejing, and whispered something to comfort. The Queen Mother saw that the emperor's hand holding the teacup was frozen in the air, shook her head slightly, stretched out her hand to take the teacup for the emperor, and said gently: "The queen is dangerously ill, and it is reasonable for the imperial doctor to say this, and only people like Qilu who have served for many years dare to say it directly." No matter what the situation of the empress is, the emperor has to quickly inform the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare Ximu in the capital, even if it is a rush. ”

The emperor struggled to close his eyes, his pale face as if covered with frost and snow. The palace was very quiet, only the sound of the river meandering and murmuring was heard, and it was like a flowing life, quietly disappearing. After a long time, the emperor could speak: "Everything depends on the emperor's mother." ”

The Queen Mother bowed slightly, and ordered: "Qilu, take care of the people here, if there is any movement, hurry up and return to the mourning house." She softened her voice, "Emperor, you should accompany the empress more." The Queen Mother waved her hand and motioned for the concubines to go out. Yin Wan was a little reluctant, and wanted to say something to the emperor, but seeing the queen mother's stern eyes, she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to withdraw with everyone.

Yan Wan was already behind the people, and slowly walked out of the cabin, but saw that Ling Yunche was already guarding the bow of the ship, as if he was guarding the emperor. She didn't squint and said lightly: "Congratulations, after so many years, I finally made progress." ”

Ling Yunche didn't look at her, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Thank you, noble Ling." ”

Yin Wan looked at the murky river, as if he didn't exist, and said to herself: "Is it worth it to fight for your life to save the queen to get a little promotion?" ”

Ling Yunche's expression was so faint that he didn't see the slightest joy or anger: "What the nobles exchanged for their flesh and blood, so did Weichen." Since the nobles think it is worth it, Weichen will naturally not be embarrassed. ”

Yinwan heard the ridicule in his words, and unconsciously said: "It turns out that you still care." With that, she only responded with a cold smile and left.

Yun Che didn't want to stay longer, so he came out with a heartfelt hand, and glanced at him as if he had unintentionally, and he already understood. Seeing the slender willow-like figure of Yan Wan leaving, he only felt that the feeling full of depression was like a bright moon rising out of the clouds, and he was slightly relieved, so he looked at the gap and quietly went to Ruyi's boat.

Ru Yifu sat down and took a sip of tea to moisten his scorched lips and tongue, and saw that Ling Yunche was lured in. She glanced at him nonchalantly and smiled faintly, "Congratulations." ”

Ling Yunche saw that her smile was faint, and she was clearly not as familiar as Su Ri, so she panicked for no reason, and immediately knelt down and said, "Weichen is lucky, it is really an unexpected glory to get this opportunity." ”

Ruyi is so deaf and clear-sighted, her eyes sank slightly, as if she was cold under the bright moon: "You mean, you saved the queen, isn't it accidental?" ”

Ling Yunche leaned over and looked sincere: "Weichen doesn't dare to live up to the little master's admonition, and tries his best to improve himself." This opportunity is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but Wechen has never forgotten the suffering of the little lord's cold palace, and the enemy of the little lord is the enemy of Wechen. The meaning of the same hatred and hatred of the enemy, Wei Chen always kept it in mind, so a moment after the queen fell into the water, Wei Chen jumped into the water to save it. ”

Ruyi's complexion was slightly pale, and the lightly pressed cloud sideburns shook and trembled with a gilded jade butterfly silver silk wings: "Thank you for thinking that you have saved yourself and others in advance and retreat." ”

Ling Yunche thought slightly: "Thank you for the little body's shirt, it's just that it is really unusual for Weichen to see the queen falling into the water alone." ”

"You think it's weird too?" Ruyi's eyes lit up, and she was heartbroken, "What did you tell this palace just now, and then tell Ling Guards." ”

He said respectfully, "Yes." The slave maid found that where the queen had fallen into the water, there were traces of new tung oil. Tung oil is waterproof, and it is understandable to apply it, but it should also be applied before the boat is launched. Isn't it strange that we went out on patrol and changed to the waterway for so long before we suddenly applied it? ”

Ling Yunche was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Tung oil is smooth but colorless, and it will dry out after a long time after applying, and there is no trace at all." If there is really a heart, then it should be really dense and there is no negligence. ”

Ruyi's thoughts drifted for a moment: "I thought that only I hated the queen, but it turned out that there were still people who wanted her to die more than this palace." ”

Lu Yun returned to his boat, and after a long while, his heart was still shocked. Just as Kexin brought a bowl of milk bird's nest, Lu Yun immediately took it and drank it in one go. Ke Xin was surprised: "Is the little master tired or hungry, choking carefully." ”

Lu Yun slowly caressed her heart, and the silver agate enamel armor on her little finger shone faintly, like a restless heart she was at the moment. She was hesitating whether to let Ke Xin invite Hailan and Rui Ji to come over and talk, when she saw a flash of the deep jade colored gold-rimmed curtain, and a woman wearing a lily pink small golden blessing brocade robe flashed in, and said: "The queen mother is seriously ill, my sister is the closest to the queen mother's green finch boat, I am very panicked, let's come to my sister's place to sit and wait for news." ”

Lu Yun was eager for Hailan to come, and when she heard this, she gave way to the couch and said anxiously: "I'm waiting for you to come." Kexin, go and serve a pot of tea. ”

Hai Lanqi said: "I am waiting for the news through my sister's treasure, if there is any movement from the queen's mother, we will be fine." Why is my sister looking forward to me? ”

Lu Yun hurriedly took her hand and said in her heart: "Did you hear what Imperial Doctor Qi said?" said that after the queen mother fished it out of the water, she kept saying that she would report it back and forth. I thought that the queen's boat was in front of our boat, and it wouldn't be what we said just now, so I happened to listen to her, right? Lu Yun was flustered, "If the queen mother wakes up, how can it be better to settle accounts with us?" It's all because Concubine Mei didn't cover up her words, and she still said these words in her throat, and now she hurts me! ”

It wasn't until Kexin brought the tea that Lu Yun suppressed his anxious look and barely remained quiet for a moment. Hailan's greasy white fingers rubbed the porcelain bowl as white as jade, as if the two were the same color. With a quiet smile in her mouth, she sat diagonally, like a snow-white Xinyi flower that did not move in the wind. However, the peaceful color on Hailan's face was the ripples under the autumn sun, with a dazzling halo slightly, and it was a small piece of instability, and she was also a little suspicious: "Speaking of which, Concubine Mei is not such an unstable person who speaks, I don't know what's wrong today?" ”

"I'm afraid that Concubine Mei thinks of her child again, and she feels uncomfortable. It's been all these years, and she's really pitiful. Seeing that the palace people had retreated, Lu Yun said hurriedly, "Sister Yufei, what should you do if you say that the queen mother really wants to come to find me trouble, or will I go to kneel and plead guilty first?" ”

Seeing that she was really panicked, Hailan smiled firmly: "The queen is like that, how can she come to find trouble with her sister?" And in the end, it is also Concubine Mei who is not careful to speak, sister and sit here with peace of mind, look at the three elder brothers, and be your concubine. ”

Lu Yun was still puzzled, and a white marble and red bead phoenix hairpin on her hair was dripping, shaking like the wind swinging willows, obviously worried. Hailan blew the tea gently, and the thick heat blew on it, and the hazy pale white seemed to add a few kisses to her originally soft face.

Hailan said gently: "The queen mother doesn't dare to come to my sister. When she heard our sentence of 'one report and one report', she was so frightened that she fell into the river, and she was fished up. Although the emperor is worried about the queen, when he hears these words, he is afraid that the emperor is also muttering in his heart, what did the queen mother do, so it came to this point? ”

Lu Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "You really don't want to do our business?" ”

Hailan smiled: "It's irrelevant! ”

Lu Yun stroked his chest and smiled: "Amitabha, that's good!" I was scared just now...... "Her expression suddenly froze, and she became a little uncomfortable, "Speaking of retribution, the seventh elder brother is dead, and the queen has become like this again." Sister Yufei, somehow, I always remember what Yonglian looked like when she died...... "Her pupils turned, very uneasy, "Second Elder Brother's death, what is our ......?"

The smile on Hailan's face suddenly closed, revealing a somewhat compassionate look: "Sister Guifei is compassionate and compassionate, she is really a bodhisattva." The death of the second elder brother, even if we regret it, there is no way. There was a little more fearless perseverance in her cold tone, "From the death of the eldest princess, to the second elder brother, to the seventh elder brother, and even the queen mother herself, this is fate." Sister, you are both blessed and blessed, it is you who have accumulated blessings, so the third elder brother and the sixth elder brother are so blessed and safe. That's exactly what you've done before, it's all good, it's not wrong. ”

In fact, since giving birth to Yongqi, although Hailan has been named Concubine Yu, she is ugly and has not been able to sleep for many years, and it is impossible to get the emperor's favor again. Also three years after giving birth to Yongqi, once, the emperor thought of her summoning her to the palace of nourishing the heart on a whim, but when she was wrapped in a brocade quilt and carried into the palace of the nourishing heart hall, she was sent out less than a moment. Favoring her is something that is hard to get. So over the years, Hailan has lived too much like a shadow with a light breeze. It is such a shadow-like survival that allows her to wander among the concubines, calmly and comfortably, and not to be wary and boring.

Lu Yun heard her words, and finally relaxed, holding her hand and crying: "Good sister, fortunately you relieved me, otherwise I would be really afraid!" ”

Hailan's smile was warm and appropriate: "There's nothing to be afraid of, I'm with my sister." ”
