Chapter 243: Turning Danger into Safety
Chu Mubai's Taiping army surrounded the entire Forbidden City, with swords and guns lined up, flashing with a penetrating cold light.
The Forbidden City fell into an unprecedented dead silence, and everyone felt a little trembling, like fear of the abyss.
It seems that as long as Mo Guhan raises his hand, everything here will be wiped out and cease to exist.
Such an absurd move caused a sensation in the entire capital, and the people looked sideways, and hundreds of officials talked about it. This time, the Empress Dowager didn't dare to say anything, and stopped the civil and military officials who wanted to enter the palace to admonish.
Mo Guhan had already accumulated a full stomach of anger, and if a spark burst out, it would erupt with an earth-shattering sound like a cannonball.
No one dares to act rashly.
The cloudy capital looks calm, but secretly it is already turbulent.
Everyone is paying close attention to the unconscious Yuehua, and her safety has become the one that stirs up the changes in Chang'an.
The Queen Mother came over for a trip, and saw that Mo was lonely and sleepless, her eyes were red, and she was very distressed, so she persuaded again and again. Mo Guhan sat stunned all the time, staring intently at the unconscious person on the bed, deaf to the Queen Mother's chatter, like a clay sculpture.
Time is like a tight string.
Everyone feels like they're living their lives.
Under his careful care, Yuehua's high fever gradually subsided, but she was still unconscious.
Shao Ziqing said that Yuehua had turned the corner, and the tense strings in the Forbidden City slowly relaxed.
Mo Guhan's face finally gradually became happy.
All the twists and turns were piled up in front of Yuehua's bed, and Mo Guhan still forgot to sleep and eat, while correcting the twists and turns. , while looking up at Yuehua from time to time.
When he was really sleepy, he lay on Yuehua's side, holding her hand tightly, so that he could squint at ease for a while.
Around the Qianqing Palace, the guards have never been so tight, layer upon layer of guards, heavy secret guards, he is still not at ease.
Chu Mubai entered the palace: "Your Majesty, the society is important, Mu Bai is here, you go to the early dynasty." ”
Shao Ziqing's kindness to Yuehua used to make him wary, but now, he can trust him steadily.
Today, the ministers of the court have begun to enter the palace to admonish, kneeling outside the Qianqing Palace, asking Mo Guhan to take the state affairs as the priority, and the society as the priority, and ask him to resume the early dynasty and start the discussion.
He was furious, and couldn't help but say that he ordered the guards to drive them out of the palace. But he knew in his heart that he couldn't keep guarding Yuehua all the time, if nothing else, because of internal and external troubles, he wouldn't give those people a chance to take advantage of, he also wanted to avenge Yuehua, and he definitely couldn't let go of the people who hurt Yuehua.
From Chu Mubai's words, Mo Guhan knew that Yuehua must be carrying a huge secret now, and this secret will be the breakthrough for him to forget to sleep and eat during this period of time. Therefore, Yuehua is very dangerous, not only is her condition unstable and she is worried about her life, but in the dark, there may be people peeping, ready to plot Yuehua's life at any time.
He had to be cautious and trembling, lest the slightest omission would give the other party an opportunity.
Yuehua's medicine and all the liquid food were all handled by Zijin, and he never faked his hands with others, and was inspected by Shao Ziqing, before feeding Yuehua one bite at a time.
He was worried that if he went to court, he would not be taken advantage of. But if you don't go to court, will someone take advantage of the court?
But Yuehua, his Yuehua, is still in a coma now, and he has no ability to protect himself at all. How could he trust her to someone else?
He asked Shao Ziqing anxiously more than once, what happened? Shao Ziqing said that she couldn't help, Yuehua lost too much blood, and her vitality was greatly damaged, and her coma was a kind of protection for her body. There is also a possibility that Yuehua herself is unwilling to wake up.
Shao Ziqing's seemingly unintentional words made him feel guilty all the time.
She herself didn't want to wake up, yes, her mind may still be stuck in that disaster, the flames were raging, the brutal killings were slaughtering, and the people around her were falling one after another.
So, she didn't want to wake up, facing the pain of losing her loved ones, facing the horror.
Also, in that disaster, there was no Mo Guhan. He was sitting upright in the Forbidden City, surrounded by purple and red. Before that, he broke her heart and drove her out of her side mercilessly.
Therefore, in Yuehua's consciousness, it may be that she is already a helpless person, so she doesn't want to wake up, she wants to escape this cruel reality.
Mo Guhan apologized to Yuehua again and again with guilt, repented again and again, begged her to wake up quickly, and what responded to him was only Yuehua's serene face. Even, the brow will not frown.
Time passed in such torment, and Yuehua's face gradually turned bloody, as peaceful as if she was asleep.
When Concubine Ling and the others heard that Chu Yuehua had returned to the palace, they all came to the Qianqing Palace to carefully probe the truth and truth, but they were all blocked by Rong Xiang, and everyone was not allowed to enter or leave.
The concubines in the palace rarely share the same hatred. They surrounded Rong Xiang, and Chang Lingyan was the first to ask, "What is happening to my sister now?" I heard that she was seriously injured and was in danger. ”
If it were normal, her fake question would inevitably attract ridicule from everyone, but today, they all looked at Rong Xiang with blank eyes, waiting for Rong Xiang to speak.
Rong Xiang shook his head: "Back to the mothers, the queen mother is still in a coma, and we don't know when we will be able to wake up." ”
Concubine Ling secretly pouted: "Could it be that the emperor has been guarding her inch by inch?" ”
Rong Xiang replied without leaking: "This was originally the emperor's palace, so naturally I stayed here." ”
Chang Lingyan also restrained his arrogance and didn't dare to talk more.
"Actually, we just feel sorry for the emperor, worried that he can't bear it, and we are tired of Rongxiang's father-in-law bringing our minds, so that the emperor must take care of the dragon's body." Concubine Crane said in a low voice.
Rong Xiang perfunctorily persuaded them: "The emperor said, please return to the palace, rest assured, Niangniang Ji is a celestial appearance, and she will definitely turn the corner." As for himself, he will take care of himself, ladies and gentlemen, please go back. ”
Chang Lingyan and the others turned around unwillingly, leaving Lan Huaien alone, stubbornly guarding the gate of the Qianqing Palace, crying tears.
Shao Ziqing went out and comforted her: "Go back?" Niangniang is unconscious now, and it's useless for you to see it. ”
Lan Huaien couldn't suppress his crying: "I just want to see each other, I don't speak, I don't cry, just take a look." Or, Lan Ting is staying here, if the emperor and Lord Shao have any send, Lan Ting is willing to do it, boil medicine for the mother, serve the soup, and Lan Ting is also willing to do the work of these palace maids. The queen is as kind to me as a mountain, and she is really worried, and it is difficult to sleep and eat. ”
Mo Guhan sent Rong Xiang out to pass the word: "The emperor invites Lan Jieyu in." ”
Wynne took a deep breath, wiped away his tears, and stepped in lightly, biting his lower lip hard, covering his mouth tightly to keep himself from choking.
"If you want to cry, you can cry, you don't have to endure it." Mo Gu didn't look back, and said indifferently: "Yuehua knows that there are people here who are worried about her and sad for her, maybe she will wake up faster." ”
Wynne couldn't help but sob, and couldn't stop crying.
"How many years have you been with me?"
Mo Gu asked coldly.
Wynne was stunned: "I don't remember it very well, it seems like it's been five years." ”
Mo Guhan smiled: "It's just that you and Yuehua don't take me to heart." Others are counting on their fingers, and they can't be accurate to every day, but you're good, and you can't forget how long you've been with me. ”
Wynne lowered his head, a little embarrassed.
"In this palace, everyone is trying their best to please me and fight for their heads, why don't you fight?"
Huaien was stunned: "Huaien has a humble status, where does he have the ability to compete with the girls?" ”
"If you have the ability, will you also fight?"
Huaien shook his head solemnly: "There are probably only two reasons for the intrigue of the ladies in the palace. One is jealousy, and the other is love. ”
"How?"
"For example, Concubine Lian and her mother, just to compete for power and glory, so they will deliberately please the emperor, and they can't tolerate the emperor's kindness to others, and fight for your life and death, this is a 'jealousy' word.
There is another kind, just like the queen mother to the emperor, which is love. She was thinking about the emperor in her heart, and she also couldn't allow the emperor to have others in her heart. And Wynne, who happens to be neither. ”
Mo Guhan slowly turned around and looked her up and down with scarlet eyes: "Then which one are you?" ”
Huai En pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Huai En will tell the truth, and please don't blame the emperor." Huaien is full of gratitude to the emperor. I have always regarded the emperor as my master and obeyed my orders. This servility has been ingrained in the world, and you are worshiped as a god, and you dare not delusion, nor dare you transgress. That's why Wynne won't fight. ”
Mo Guhan's eyes flickered, and he sighed: "Therefore, only you can be intimate with Yuehua." ”
Huaien shook his head: "Huaien and Niangniang are close, not only because Huaien will not be jealous of Niangniang, but more importantly, Huai'en's life is given by Niangniang, Huai'en regards Niangniang as a benefactor, and Niangniang regards me as a relative." ”
Mo Guhan turned his face away and stared at Yuehua's face again: "So I can trust you, are you willing to take care of her with me?" ”
Lan Huaien was surprised and delighted, and nodded busily: "Yes, yes." ”
Mo Guhan's beard was unshaven, and his face was haggard and decadent: "Xiangshen is also dead, I don't know who else to trust?" But I can't keep guarding her all the time, I still have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting her, and I still have a lot to do. ”
There was some helplessness in his voice, Lan Huaien knelt on the ground, his eyes were full of tears: "Niangniang has the grace of regeneration for Huai'en, Huai'en is willing to share his worries for the emperor and take care of Niangniang with all his heart." ”
Mo Guhan nodded helplessly, and reluctantly let go of the hand holding Yuehua: "Lord Shao will tell you the precautions." ”
Wynne was simply flattered.
