64. Dream within a dream
When she was carried back to Changzhou City, she still had a vague consciousness, and she wanted to find Liang Rui in her heart, just like in a dream, she remembered that Liang Rui told her that there was a stone in the territory of Ningfu Kingdom, and she didn't know if it was the place she went.
There were noisy voices around her, she wanted to hear what they were saying, her ears were full of booms, just like the feeling of sitting on a plane flying on the clouds in modern times, she even knew that she was afraid, afraid that she would not be able to save Liang Rui, afraid of leaving this world. Although she seemed to have gone back to that home in her dreams, she didn't want to go back yet.
Her hand was held, and a mouthful of water was fed into her mouth, and her throat was better. Mouthfuls of water were fed into her mouth, moistening her lips and throat, and she was able to gasp for air.
She wanted to get up now, but she didn't have the strength at all. She wanted to open her eyes and look around, but after opening her eyes a few times, her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. She tried to open her mouth to speak, but she couldn't.
Now the recovery was gone, and she lay here motionless like a wasted person.
She lay in bed for three days and three nights, one moment she fell asleep, and the next she woke up. When she woke up, it was time for the servant to come to feed the water and soup, and she continued to fall asleep when the servant was gone. That night, she was finally able to open her eyes and look around. Surrounded by bright lights, she lay on a richly decorated sandalwood bed.
She thought that she might not be able to survive, but she didn't expect that she would live to see this era again.
As soon as she opened her eyes, her stomach was rumbling with hunger, and she really didn't know that in ancient times, this people didn't shout for nothing.
At this time, should someone come over and say in surprise, Your Majesty, you have finally woken up. However, there was no such thing, and she had to get up on her own and look for food everywhere. However, not to mention eating, not even drinking water, she really wanted to call out if she should not be so harsh.
"Your Majesty, is it really the emperor who has woken up?" The sound of cups and plates shattering on the floor, combined with this exclamation, frightened her deeply.
She looked back and saw that it was the servant, and when she was startled, she had already run away.
She thought she was back in modern times, but reality played a joke on her.
The recovery pill that could save Liang Rui was not found, and she saw Liang Rui in modern times but returned here to live alone.
She finally understood that she ran away from marriage eighteen years ago, and she wouldn't have come here, but what happened to Liang Rui? She was curious to know.
"Your Majesty, concubine..."Ning Rong appeared in front of her with a box of food in her hand.
"Why are you here? What should I do if there is no one in Yufan in the capital? When she saw Ning Rong, she remembered that she ordered Ning Rong to assist Ning Yufan in supervising the country.
When the news of the emperor's coma reached the capital, the ministers all wrote to ask for Prince Yufan to ascend the throne, but the queen mother did not agree to the edict. The minister asked the queen mother to let the minister come to Changzhou to see the emperor, and the queen mother approved. Ning Rong said as he spoke, and two lines of tears came down.
"The queen mother is old, and it is not easy to withstand the pressure." She took the food box in Ning Rong's hand.
She impatiently opened the lid, and it was still the osmanthus cake and some dishes she liked to eat.
Now the stuttering can make her nostalgic for this era: "Ning Rong, you stay in Changzhou for the time being to accompany me, just like when you and I were not married, I dreamed of you and me when I passed out." ”
Ning Rong brought her a dress and gently draped it over her: "The emperor can remember all kinds of things with his concubines, and it is a trip to concubines." ”
"Why are you still so polite to me, but I don't know when I will be able to let you find a husband who can give you happiness for a lifetime, and let you spend many years of your youth on me. Now the Queen Mother does not agree to me abdicating, and I don't know when I will be able to set you free. She really wanted Ning Rong to find her true love, but with a wrong step, how should her identity be made public.
"On the day when the emperor and Commander Liang can be together, Ning Rong can also find happiness with peace of mind. At that time, both the emperor and the Liang commander will be free, and Ning Rong will naturally be free. ”
Ning Rong woke her up with a word.
"You're right, now you can only eat, sleep, and Liang Rui and the rivers and mountains of this Ningfu country want me to give them a trust." As she spoke, she put a piece of osmanthus cake in her mouth.
"The concubine is here to tell the emperor that Commander Liang took the medicine that the emperor risked his life to find and woke up!" Ning Rong filled half a bowl of white fungus soup and put it in front of her.
"Seriously!" She asked vaguely, holding half a piece of pastry.
"Where do ministers dare to deceive the emperor! It's just that...... Commander Liang, who had taken the medicine, seemed to be a little delirious. Keep saying he's going back! There are still people waiting for him! Ning Rong's face was bitter.
"I'm going to take a look!" She was about to go out without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, Ling Yun is there to take care of him, and said that the emperor had better avoid this matter, and the appearance of the emperor before Commander Liang recovers will only aggravate his condition. His injuries take time, and his heart disease takes time to heal. The concubine knew that the emperor could not accept this fact so quickly. Therefore, the concubine came to Changzhou from the capital to receive Lingyun's book. Now the situation in the DPRK and China is unstable, and the enemy country is attacking again, and there are General Gu Ling and my father in the DPRK. The court needs His Majesty to go back! The concubines came to welcome the emperor back to the court, and thus separated from the Liang Commander for a period of time. Ning Rong knelt on the ground and said earnestly.
She took half a piece of osmanthus cake in her mouth, swallowed it for a while, and then swallowed it and said, "Can I take a sneak look at Liang Rui?"
"The emperor just went and took a sneak look. Ling Yun said that Commander Liang took the medicine and remembered some things from twenty years ago. The emperor is his heartache. The concubine didn't understand, so she didn't ask in detail. Ning Rong looked dazed.
She walked up to Ning Rong and helped her up: "It's hard for you, you have paid attention to yourself all these years, if there is someone you like, I will arrange it for you." Don't keep me to the cost of youth. After all, I can't give you the happiness that a husband should give you. ”
Ning Rong had a relative, and he couldn't answer, but nodded, as if he couldn't bear the current situation.
That's right, a man that Ning Rong has loved for nearly ten years has turned around and turned into a woman, and she has to hang the name of husband and wife with her, and she can't find a man who can really give her happiness.
Youth and youth are very important to everyone, and she didn't take the feelings of the best sisters around her to heart before, but became a slave as an emperor, and she lived for eighteen years, and still couldn't accept such an arrangement.
Ning Rong went to Zhang to explain her return to Beijing, she changed into clean clothes, quietly came to a window outside the room where Liang Rui was recuperating from his injuries, found an angle that was not easy for him to find, and looked at him sometimes looking at the book and chattering as if his soul was gone.
Her tears flickered in her eyes, and she choked up and wanted to make a sound, but she held back.
"See the emperor!" She was about to leave, but she ran into a servant who came to serve Liang Rui.
"Flat! Commander Liang will be left to your care. Remember, don't say I've been here, go! She commanded.
"Yes." She turned to walk away amid the crowd.
In the bumpy carriage, she was worried that Liang Rui was injured like this, how should I explain to the prime minister. Liang Rui is the only son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Liang Jing gave birth to Liang Rui's son when he was established.
In this day and age, having a child at the age of thirty is already considered very old. The ancients paid attention to unfilial piety, and there are three nos, what can be done now?
She didn't think about it!
The journey was tiring, Ning Rong and she were in a hurry and didn't bring many entourages, Changzhou was only a few hundred miles away from the capital, but she was too tired to move.
Probably because the vitality has not recovered, I always feel that I can't lift the momentum.
The sun was about to set in the West Mountain, so I found a simple homestay inn in the barren mountains to live.
When she saw this inn, she immediately remembered those in her recent dreams, and she really wondered if she had fallen into an evil spirit, why when she came back from the dark forest, she first fell into a coma in a nightmare for a long time, and finally woke up that something was not quite right, and now she saw this inn so similar.
"Childe, the food is ready, let's go eat some!" She stood on the stone steps under one of the eaves, thinking.
Ning Rong beckoned her to eat, she turned around and entered the house, a familiar scene appeared in front of her, this is the scene in her dream, Liang Rui and she were going to find a magical big stone, it is said that the stone was the stone that made Ning Xizao lose his life.
Could it be that she really encountered that stone, the stone gave her a dream, she always felt that everything she had experienced in Ningfu over the years was illusory, and she didn't know how to explain her experience.
It's as if all this was arranged for her, but it made her unspeakably strange.
She had to find the answer.
The dishes and drinks are the same as in her dream, but this time it was prepared for her by Ning Rong, and it was Liang Rui in the dream.
Since she wanted to find the answer, she just did what she dreamed of.
As soon as she finished eating, she began to feel sleepy, and as soon as she was sleepy, she fell asleep on the straw mat bed in the house!
She was really sleepy, so sleepy that she didn't know if she was still around, and her body was fluttering.
It was like in a dream, and her body was about to collapse!
She went with the flow, and only in her dreams could she find the answers she wanted.
When she woke up, she really returned to the palace, and it was Ning Rong who was guarding her, and when she woke up, she immediately turned over her dirty clothes to see that they had really been replaced.
"The clothes you helped me change?" She asked Ning Rong suspiciously.
"The minister hasn't had time to wash the emperor yet, and he hasn't changed the emperor's clothes!" Ning Rong didn't look like he was lying, and there was no need to lie.
She was confused.
She seemed to remember that in the evening, Liang Rui would come back, which was a scene that would also appear in dreams.
She just waited for an answer.
As in a dream, she said those words to Ning Rong, and Ning Rong did as she said, and she fell asleep again, and when she woke up, she had already begun to pass on dinner.
She went to the dressing room to change her clothes. When she was changing her clothes, the chamberlain came to pass Liang Rui to ask to see her. She let Liang Rui be passed on.
This is really the same as being evil, Liang Rui is still in Changzhou, why did he come back! She couldn't figure it out, but she really went to find the answer.
