"No," Ding Qi replied lightly, and then handed her the fire gun and asked, "Do you want to try it?" ”

"Hmm!" Qing Xue nodded, then looked at Mu Chunju, and saw that there was also a curious look on his face, so she opened her mouth and ordered: "Come on, prepare an arrow target." ”

"Yes!" The minions should go down and prepare.

There have always been all kinds of weapons stored in the treasury of Qinghua Palace, and in the past, Mu Chun often practiced archery in the courtyard, and even if it was a moving artifact, he could shoot an arrow into the crosshair.

When the target was ready, all three of them went out of the temple gate. Qing Xue stood in the courtyard, holding a heavy firearm in her hand, but she didn't know where to start for a while.

"Where's the trigger?" Qing Xue rummaged through and asked, but it seemed to be talking to herself.

"The principle of this gun is to ignite the gunpowder by the lead and then push the lead bullet to fire, unlike a pistol, so there is no such thing as a trigger." After Ding Qi finished explaining, he stepped forward to take the firecracker, put the gunpowder and lead bullet into the medicine room in turn, and then inserted the lead.

"Optimistic" Ding Qi pointed his fire hammer at the arrow target in the distance to signal Qing Xue's attention, and ignited the lead after hearing the response.

With a muffled sound of bang~~, the buckshot passed through the bullseye and embedded directly into the trunk of the begonia tree behind it, leaving a deep hole, and then I saw the leaves on the tree being shaken down in clusters.

Compared with bows and arrows, the power of the firearm is indeed much greater, and more importantly, it is small in size and easy to carry, if it is produced on a large scale and brought to the battlefield, it is definitely the most powerful weapon.

The minions had never seen this thing, and they were stunned for a moment, and they praised one after another: "The emperor is very skilled." ”

Hearing these words, Qing Xue, who originally wanted to praise her, suddenly stopped speaking, and Yu Guang unconsciously looked at Mu Chundu. In the past, the identity and praise of this "emperor" belonged to him, and I don't know what he will feel like at this moment.

Qing Xue turned her head to meet Mu Chunju's gaze at her, as if there were only the two of them in this courtyard. Seeing that he didn't care too much about it, Qing Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to bring the fire gun over and wanted to try it.

The whole body of the fire gun is metal, and the pipe wall is made extremely thick for the sake of firmness, which is a real iron lump.

Ding Qi saw that Qing Xue's slender arm was a little difficult to lift, and couldn't help but smile and stepped forward to hold her up and teach her a little bit, while Qing Xue was afraid that Mu Chun would be jealous, and her movements were obviously a little stiff.

The minions beside him whispered:

"Who said the queen fell out of favor? Look at it like this, it's clear that the love is tight. ”

"Since you are so affectionate, why does the emperor refuse to stay in Qinghua Palace? The royal heirs are thin, and now there are only two princes and a princess, and the emperor and queen are in their prime, so they should add a few more. ”

"This matter can only be worried about by slaves like you and me, anyway, I think the emperor cares about Niangniang, otherwise there won't be a concubine who won't accept it."

......

The minions, you said it word by word, although it was a whisper, but Mu Chun, who was a wolf and had a very keen sense of hearing, listened to it word for word.

Looking at the two figures next to each other in front of him, Mu Chun inexplicably felt that he seemed to be the superfluous one.

But this sour feeling did not stay in the bottom of my heart for long, but was mostly offset with a muffled sound, and then fell into Qing Xue's bright smile and disappeared completely.

Qing Xue Fangcai also heard the discussion of the minions more or less, so after hearing the gunshot, she didn't even look at where the bullet hit, and handed the firearm to Ding Qi like a routine business, turned her head and smiled at Mu Chun and said, "It's more interesting to shoot arrows." ”

Hearing this, Mu Chun's blue eyes flashed with warmth, and he was about to walk towards her, but he heard a wolf whisper coming from the eaves.

"The Emperor fainted."

As soon as Ding Qi finished translating for Qingxue, Mu Chun had already jumped onto the roof, turned his head and said, "Bring Qin'er over as soon as possible." ”

"Okay" Before Ding Qi's words fell, Qingxue had already run out of the courtyard gate, and ran back when Ding Qi was about to chase him.

"Medicine!" Qing Xue subconsciously spit out a word, and then quickly ran into the inner room to get a bottle of medicine and held it in her hand before running in the direction of the Qianzheng Palace.

This palace is not big, but it is definitely not small, and the masters will take a sedan chair when they travel on weekdays, but in case of something urgent, the speed is not as good as running faster.

If it was in the past, Mu Chun would have hugged her and flew over, but now Qingxue can only run all the way with her skirt.

By the time Qingxue and Ding Qi ran to the Qianzheng Palace, Mu Chun had already been anxiously guarding in front of the bed. The emperor's illness came suddenly, and he suddenly fainted when discussing things, scaring the ministers and servants into two and a half souls.

Qing Xue didn't have time to ask anything, so she ran up to the Emperor Taishang first. And Mu Chun stayed by the bedside and waited for Qingxue to speak, for fear of missing half a word.

Qing Xue probed her pulse, but she didn't speak for a long time, but first took a moment of recovery pill and fed the water brought by the palace maid to the emperor's clothes.

"Qin'er, what's wrong with my father?" Mu Chun asked decidedly, and Ding Qi stood behind him to translate.

"Father is fine, just overworked. But ......" Qingxue bit her lip, her slender knuckles clenched together and rubbed it, but she didn't continue.

Although she didn't say anything, Mu Chunjue showed a worried look in her crystal eyes, and asked anxiously: "What kind of illness does my father have?" ”

He knows Qing Xue's medical skills, even the dead can be saved, what disease in the world can make her show such a look?

Qing Xue shook her head and ordered behind her: "Lords, retreat first, and let people go and ask the Queen Mother to come over." ”

"Yes!"

The courtiers and servants all retreated, leaving only Ding Qi and Mu Chun in the palace.

Qing Xue held the hand of the Emperor Taishang, and hot tears overflowed from her bright red eyes, and she couldn't cry for a while: "Pure decision, my father is not sick, but it is precisely because he is not sick that I can't cure him." ”

"What does that mean?"

"Most of the diseases in this world can be cured, and only aging ......" Qing Xue opened her lips and teeth slightly, shook her head helplessly and said, "I can't do anything." My father is already very old, and he has endured a year of travel, and since he returned to the palace, he has worked hard for the court, and now this body is empty. ”

Qing Xue held a faint pulse like a gossamer, and her face was full of tears when she knelt in front of the Taishang Emperor's bed, and Mu Chun couldn't accept it for a while when she heard this, and after a desperate roar, she could only stand in front of the bed and weep.

Probably because of taking the Restoration Pill, the Emperor Taishang, who had been fainting, woke up at this time, but his face was still not half bloody.

"Father, are you awake?" Qing Xue asked, raised her sleeves and wiped the tears on her face, trying to calm her grief.

The Emperor seemed to know that his life was short, his breathing became heavier and heavier, but the expression on his face was still peaceful, his eyes turned around the room, and he only asked, "What about your mother?" Why didn't you see her? ”

"The queen mother will come soon, father, you will say less and nourish your spirit." Qing Xue choked, and the blood in her eyes became thicker and thicker. The Emperor Taishang has only loved the Queen Mother in his life, and even when he wakes up, he still thinks of her, and this affection is enough to move everyone.

Emperor Taishang looked at Mu Chun who was standing in front of his bed, and the hand held by Qing Xue moved in that direction with great effort, and said: "Father and Emperor will probably die soon, and this red cloud can only be borne by you alone." ”

"Father, don't worry!" Mu Chun took a step forward, tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes and hiding his hair.

Ding Qi's eyes were also a little red at this moment, and he translated Mu Chun's words in a deep voice, imitating that tone in the same way.

The Emperor's voice was like a gossamer, as if every word he uttered required all his strength. But the sudden fall made him too late to explain many things, and he had to hold on to finish at the moment.

"Qin'er" Emperor Taishang looked at Qingxue who was kneeling in front of the couch with pear blossoms and rain, and said in a deep voice: "You are a good child, my father knows that you have a deep affection for your son, and you promised your father that if you can't return to your body one day, you must assist Jun'er well and continue to protect my Chiyun country." ”

"Hmm!" Qing Xue swallowed the bitterness in her throat, nodded firmly, and then said: "Father, don't worry, Chun and I will do our best to protect the country of Chiyun." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and the queen mother was supported by two maidservants and hurriedly walked in, and her face was clearly covered with tears. And Mu Jun and Mu Li were also hugged by the grandmothers.

"Yi Ming" The Empress Dowager called the name of the Emperor Taishang and rushed to the bed, only to hear the palace people say that the Emperor Taishang had fainted, she hurried to the Qianzheng Palace, the Emperor Taishang was not in good health, she was aware of it, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Qin'er, what's wrong with your father?" The Queen Mother asked, but her eyes fell on the face of the Emperor Taishang for a moment.

Qing Xue couldn't bear to tell her about the emperor's illness, and covered her mouth to try her best to suppress the cry in her throat.

And the Emperor Taishang obviously didn't want the Queen Mother to worry, so he held on and said, "I'm fine, Qin'er has already given me medicine, just get some sleep." Look at your age, you still cry like a child, but you have to make Jun'er and Li'er laugh. ”

As he spoke, the Emperor beckoned to the grandmothers and motioned for them to carry the child forward, because he had said too much, he couldn't help coughing lightly a few times, and his face turned red, as if he was returning to the light.

Qing Xue knew that he was worried about the two children, so she quickly turned around and took Mu Jun and Mu Li over to teach them: "Quickly call the emperor's grandfather." ”

The two children have been raised in Xihua Hall since they returned to the palace, and they have spent more time with the Empress Dowager than Qingxue, so they are calling at the moment: "Imperial Grandfather", the voice is crisp, and the words are very clear.

Although they didn't know what was going on at such a young age, they saw that everyone in the room was crying, and they lost their usual nonsense, just leaned quietly in Qingxue's arms and said, "The queen mother doesn't cry." ”
