As soon as she got out of the palace gate, Yu'er, who was originally full of smiles, lowered her face coldly, and walked quickly towards the Splendid Palace with Jinxin's hand. Behind him, Qiushui also frowned and followed carefully. After returning to the warm pavilion of the palace, Yu'er sat down on the small couch of Huanghuali before relaxing, and Yiren hurriedly brought a cup of strong ginger tea and said: "It's windy outside, Niangniang drink some ginger tea to warm up." ”

Yu'er took it, and the glazed cup lightened the color of the ginger tea a little, and it was even warmer to hold in her hand. It's just that this warmth can't resist the cool breeze raging in my heart. Tasted a sip, full of astringency and spicy feeling, Yu'er has never liked the taste of ginger, every time she drank ginger tea when she was a child, she had to be coaxed by her aunt for half a day before she was willing, and now she doesn't feel so difficult to drink, as soon as she closes her eyes, a bowl of soup enters her stomach in an instant.

Yiren hurriedly came up to take the cup, Yu'er caught a glimpse of Qiushui still standing upright, her cheeks that had just been punished a few days ago were blown by the cold wind and then the heat in this warm pavilion was smoked with a strange flush, she looked ahead with her eyes lost and didn't know what she was thinking. Yu'er coughed lightly and said, "Qiushui~" She just woke up like a dream and walked in front of Yu'er.

"I've really wronged you by letting you serve in the Butterfly Palace these days."

Qiushui was slightly stunned, opened his mouth, and replied: "Why did Niangniang say this, the slave maid was willing, and never felt wronged." ”

Yu'er didn't answer and stood up, paced to the window, the sky was already a little dark, and Yan Su, the eunuch in charge of the Splendid Palace, had already begun to order people to hold the lights for each hall. There are a few plum blossoms planted outside the window, and the people who look at the bare branches are a little depressed. She looked at it for a while, turned around, and said shallowly: "Now the Dieqi Palace is really not the same, Xin'er doesn't even have a thoughtful person around me, I really don't worry, I call you to see that you have always been proper and have the love to grow up with me since childhood, you will be able to understand my thoughts, but I forgot your feelings, and now I can't bear to see you wronged everywhere." ”

Qiushui knelt down in a panic when she saw her say this, and said: "Niangniang's words are serious, the slave maid is willing to serve in the Dieqi Palace, and I hope that Niangniang will be fulfilled." ”

Yu'er lowered her head and took in the autumn water kneeling there, although she knelt, she could still see that her figure was already very slim, and even the shadow was a long one, and she was shocked to realize that the little girl who had always followed her silently in the past was now so smart, and her appearance and figure really did not lose to herself at all. Yiren, who was standing on the side, listened to the words exchanged between the two, although he didn't understand what was going on, but he always felt that there was a subtlety that he didn't understand, the three of them had grown up together since childhood, and when they had been born like this, they couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"You get up, although the room is warm and the ground is still cold, you will still be by my side in the future, and I will find a way to let people go over to the Butterfly Palace."

Qiu Shui, who had just stood up, was stunned, obviously a little stunned, but he still bent his knees slightly and replied: "The slave knows, Xie Niangniang!" ”

Yu'er nodded and said, "Well, I don't look at the wound on your face yet, just a few days ago, I got some new ointment to nourish your face, you can go to the small warehouse to get some yourself, don't leave a scar, you won't be able to find your in-laws in the future!" He took the lead and covered his mouth and laughed.

Qiushui stomped his feet and sneered: "Niangniang~" said and lifted the curtain and retreated. Seeing this, Yiren finally lost his solemn expression, and secretly said that it seems that Niangniang and we are still the same as before!

In the dead of night, when even the Yiren who was in charge of the night tonight made an even breathing sound, Yu'er casually approved a piece of clothing, turned over and got out of bed, and sat down at the table. Touching the teapot on the table, it was already cold, she couldn't bear to wake up Yiren, so she simply poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it all, and this time the sleepiness was even more gone.

Tonight, the moon shines like water, spilling through the screen in front of the window. Yu'er sat quietly, and the charcoal burning in the charcoal basin at her feet didn't feel cold. I don't know what the situation is at this time, it was still autumn when Chu Sheng left, and now it is about to enter winter, but I am afraid that it will snow in a few days.

The room was extremely quiet, except for the occasional "beep" sound from the bursting of silver carrot charcoal, and no sound could be heard, Yu'er looked down and her eyes were already foggy. In the end, I still missed, I used to think that I was just a frog sitting in a well and watching the sky, and there was only a square piece of heaven and earth left in my life, and there would be no more obsession for the rest of my life, the most important thing is to protect myself and protect the people around me.

But now I also miss it carefully, I miss the oil-paper umbrella under the drizzle in the imperial garden that year, I miss the warm embrace on Chinese New Year's Eve that year, and the relatively wordless and bloody companionship after Jing'er left. Yu'er took out the white jade carved by Chu Sheng from her bosom and rubbed it carefully...... Chu Sheng~~ When will you return? When will it return?

After returning from the queen in the morning, Yu'er began to cough, first coughing only occasionally twice, and then at night, she was so coughing that she couldn't speak. Now I was anxious and hurriedly went to the Tai Hospital to pass the doctor, but who knew that the Tai Hospital had been locked, and there was no one in the black light. and hurried back. Yiren, who was waiting at the gate of the temple, saw that only Jinxin came back, and asked anxiously, "Where is the imperial doctor?" Jinxin shook his head, already crying, and replied: "The person in the Tai Hospital has left cleanly, and there is not even a person who holds the night, and the Imperial Doctor Zhou, who has always taken care of the Splendid Palace, is still in prison now, how can this be good!" ”

This toss attracted both Xu'er and Charlene who had a stomach, and when the two walked into the dormitory, they panicked when they saw Yu'er, who was coughing breathlessly. Yu'er saw that the two of them could barely hold back the churning cough, and said, "Why did they come this big night, I just coughed a few times and didn't get in the way." In the end, his face was flushed and he coughed heavily.

When Su'er got closer, she saw her face crimson and covered her forehead with her hand, and exclaimed, "Why is it so hot?" ”

Jinxin on the side also probed with his hand when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Niangniang, this is a high fever." Then he muttered with red eyes: "How good should this be, the slave maid went to ask the imperial doctor, who knew that the imperial hospital was empty, and the mother was burned like this at the moment....."

Su'er exclaimed, "What? Don't worry, I'll go to Fengyang Palace to ask the queen to give my sister a doctor. So saying, he hurried out. Yu'er was powerless to stop her at the moment, so she also let her go. After Su'er left, Xia Lin sat down beside Yu'er and instructed Jinxin, "What are you doing here?" Hurry up and get a basin of cold water, take a handkerchief and put it on my sister first. ”

Jinxin hurriedly agreed and ran out.

I don't know how many handkerchiefs I put on when I got dressed, Su'er finally came back, and Charlene saw her and got up and asked, "How is it?" ”

Su'er shook her head, and replied with unbearable eyes: "I didn't see the queen's face, and the people in Fengyang Palace said that Niangniang had fallen asleep." ”

"What? How can this be? At this time, even Charlene turned white in a hurry.

Now they have begun to weep when they hear this.

Yu'er was already burned in a daze, but she still understood what the two of them said. Anyway, if you can go like this, I don't know if I can see Jing'er who thinks about it day and night, but Chu Sheng...... I can't wait for you in the end!

Xia Lin got up and walked back and forth a few steps to Su'er's side, and said, "Why don't we go and ask Concubine Shu and Concubine De, now the two of them have the right to assist in the harem." ”

Hearing this, Su'er nodded and replied, "That's all it takes!" He immediately turned his head to Jinxin and instructed: "You go to the Chenxi Palace to ask for Concubine De, and I will go to Concubine Shu now." ”

"Yes!" Jinxin said yes and followed Su'er out of the dormitory.

Sure enough, Concubine De had already fallen asleep, and when she heard that it was someone from the Splendid Palace, she got up again and ordered someone to come in.

As soon as Jinxin saw her, he knelt down with a thud and said with tears in his eyes: "Niangniang, help!" Our mother's high fever is now in a daze, but the hospital is unmanned today, and I hope that my mother will be kind enough to let people go out of the palace to pass a doctor! ”

Concubine De was already asleep in a daze, only wearing a middle coat and green silk draped behind her like ink, and stood up in shock when she heard what Jinxin said: "There is such a thing!" Saying that, he pondered for a moment and said: "Xiao Lingzi, you quickly go and get my token and report it to the palace gate, and say that the concubine of Jinxiu Palace Yu is seriously ill and wants to go out of the palace to make noise." ”

Xiao Lingzi listened to his master's instructions, bowed his head and said, "Yes!" Minions, let's do it! Then he turned and went out. Jinxin couldn't rest assured in the end, so he kowtowed and followed.

When the two came to the palace gate, Xiao Lingzi found a familiar guard and went up to greet him: "My lord, I have worked hard!" But the guard ignored him, and stood upright. Xiao Lingzi hurriedly showed the token of Concubine De and said: "The slave is the head of the Chenxi Palace, and he was ordered by our mother to go out of the palace to pass on the imperial doctor to the Yugui concubine, and I hope that the adults will make it convenient!" The guard reacted and glanced at the token in Xiao Lingzi's hand slightly, Sen Senran opened his mouth and replied: "There are palace rules and regulations, once the palace gate is locked, no one is allowed to enter or exit, father-in-law or please go back!" Xiao Lingzi still wanted to say more, Jinxin couldn't wait any longer, and stepped forward and said urgently: "My lord, our mother is really sick, and now Concubine De Niangniang is the assistant of the sixth palace, can't you have her token?" ”

The guard's face was not good, but now his face was even darker, and he replied: "The palace rules are like a mountain, and we are also acting under orders, except for the emperor's holy decree, the queen mother, and the queen's decree, no one's words will work, and please don't embarrass us." As he spoke, he let his heart cry and rush to the ground, looking ahead and no longer speaking.

Jinxin was helpless, and was about to force his way out, but the guard drew his sword and shouted, "Bold! Don't you want to die?! Jinxin was stunned with fright, closed his eyes and was about to risk his life to break through, when he suddenly heard an impatient and tired low male voice: "What's the matter?" ”

Turning his head to see the comer, he wore a suit of armor and rode on a tall horse, and he could also see his heroic appearance in this dark night. Rao is accustomed to seeing nobles in the palace, and his heart is also stunned. The rest of the people knelt down when they saw the people on the horse, and Jinxin reacted and knelt down with him.

"Ministers, see King Jiuye, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" Hearing the people around him shouting Jinxin, he reacted, and it turned out that the person who was immediately on the horse was the youngest son of the former emperor, the current holy emperor's uncle Jiuye Wang Chu Ning! Although I don't know why King Jiuye is dressed up in the palace at this time, he seems to have pulled a life-saving straw in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Lord Wang~~ Please save our mother!" ”

Chu Ning, who was on the horse, frowned when he heard this, and was sent to the front to fight by a holy decree from his nephew, and now he was ordered to rush back to the palace prison country first, and even the horses were tired and paralyzed a few horses day and night, and it was not easy to get there at this time, and he was ready to rest and met a crying palace maid, it was really unlucky! But since he was a kind-hearted person, he couldn't bear to ignore it when he saw it, so he asked, "Who is your mother?" What's wrong with her? ”

Jinxin waited for a long time and did not move, and his heart, which was already half cold, heard King Jiuye's question and ignited hope again, and kowtowed heavily and replied: "Back to the prince, the slave maid is the palace maid next to the jade concubine of the Splendid Palace, our mother suddenly suffered from a serious illness tonight, and the fever is not stopped, it just so happens that the imperial doctor is not in the palace, and the slave and maid really can't beg Concubine De Niangniang to go out of the palace to ask the imperial doctor, who knows that she still can't get out of this palace gate, so she clashed with the guards here." ”

Chu Ning pondered for a moment, yawned, and said in a deep voice: "That's the case, you are a loyal girl." But it just so happens that there is a doctor next to this king, and it is also the will of heaven for you to meet this king tonight, in the end, your life is at stake, Song Taiyi, you go with this girl to show your concubine. ”

Immediately, someone turned over and dismounted, and promised: "Yes!" Wechen obeyed. Girl lead the way! ”
