Chapter 48 Humans and ghosts go the same way
"Back then, when you cut your heart in the Golden Palace, he went crazy on the spot......"
Fang Qingchen glanced at Qin Xufei, Qin Xufei shrugged, a posture of "what can you do with me", and then continued.
In the past few years, his life has been very bad. At first, all he knew was holding 'you' body and a sword, and wielding it at anyone who came close. Chu Liang thought it was unorthodox and ordered 'you' to be buried. But as soon as Chu Ruohong found out that someone was coming to rob 'you', he was extremely powerful and crazy, and he was in a stalemate for a day or two, seeing that 'you' had begun to stench, Chu Liang ordered to take it hard. The soldier pulled his arm off and broke his finger before snatching 'you' out of his hand. ”
Fang Qingchen was completely sure that Qin Xufei had bad intentions. He takes a bite of a "you", heavy. Behind him, Zhao Wangchen's breathing was a little heavy, and he seemed to be unable to refute it, Fang Qingchen just glanced back at him, so Zhao Wangchen was silent.
"I can't see 'you', Chu Ruohong doesn't eat or drink, he goes on a rampage, no matter how careful the defenders around him are, there is no way to stop him from being injured again and again in the madness. He kept shouting frantically "light dust", from morning to night, and then from night to morning, his throat was hoarse, and when he finally fell into a coma, he was already vomiting blood. The doctor said that if he could not stabilize his emotions, he would not live for three days. Chu Liang had no choice but to stink, and sent someone to dig out the 'you' that had just been buried. It's just that he refuses to endure the rotten stench on 'you' body anymore, so he has more than a dozen soldiers hold him down, and let the imperial doctor use medicine in front of him to clean the flesh and blood on 'you' corpse, leaving only a pair of dry bones. In the middle he struggled and passed out many times, more than a dozen people. I could barely hold him down. That's right. I also heard that at that time, his voice was completely hoarse and he couldn't make a sound at all. ”
Fang Qingchen's face was a little gloomy. I don't know if it's because I'm annoyed at the rough treatment of my "body", or if I'm sorry for the pain that the boy can feel when his body is turned into smoke little by little, and there is no trace of flesh and blood anymore.
"Anyway, they skewered your bones with wire and threw them at him to play with. He woke up for the last time and saw the bones. I held it in my arms, and it was quiet from then on. He won't do anything but talk to the bones, get you up, give him a chance to do it all over again, and try again and again to put his heart back into the boneless chest. Eventually, he wouldn't even eat normally. When you're hungry, you can eat whatever you catch. Whether it's dirt, leaves, or filth. Even the feces are pulled on the body. ”
The anger in Fang Qingchen's eyes flashed. Qin Xufei smiled and said, "Don't blame me. It is true that our army is advancing, and people are panicking, but will he end up like that, or because no one in the clan of Chu has feelings for him. Those subordinates at the beginning. He has no loyalty to him. Naturally, no one thought to take care of him. In fact, this is already the best result. If he hadn't gone mad, those people wouldn't have allowed him to live at all. ”
Qin Xufei is not in a hurry, and everything is too small. Speak slowly. When he broke through the city and entered the earth, he saw a filthy madman, skinny and weak, who could die at any moment.
He told him that he had someone clean it up, and as soon as he turned around, the men below violently ripped the man of his clothes and scrubbed him with cold water. When he came to visit Chu Ruohong, who had been cleaned and combed, he saw that he was shivering from the cold, his cheeks were not visible at all, his eye sockets were too deep, and his eyes were so big that he almost didn't look like a living person.
A moving skeleton, trembling and holding a non-moving skeleton.
said that he had asked what was going on, and he was angry, and ordered someone to take good care of Chu Ruohong, and found him a doctor to diagnose and treat him, but found that he was already riddled with diseases, and his finger that had been broken was already about to be scrapped.
Fang Qingchen just listened quietly. There was no expression on his face.
Qin Xufei said that since then, Chu Ruohong's life has been much better. No longer left alone in a deserted garden to fend for himself, he has a small house that can shelter from the wind and rain. No more food and clothing are left unattended. Every day, food and medicine would be delivered on time and forced to feed him. Basically, you have to take a shower every two or three days. His injuries gradually improved, but Qin Xufei was busy with many things and didn't have much time to pay attention to him, so he took care of him, and soon Jane slowed down.
Because he was crazy and couldn't pay attention to his defecation, everyone was too lazy to bathe him and change his clothes, so they directly made him a very thick diaper, which he changed once a day, and as for bathing and washing his hair, it was also extended to once every ten days, and all the requirements for cleanliness were enough as long as he could keep him from getting sick.
No one has brought the medicine anymore, and there is no more doctor to see his body. Three meals a day were delivered on time, but Chu Ruohong didn't know how to be hungry anymore, so he only cared about holding the bones and talking, and didn't take the initiative to eat. Until they are so hungry that they can't stand it, they are instinctively driven to catch and eat, usually not eating for a day or two, and then, eating everything in one meal.
Speaking of this, Qin Xufei smiled bitterly. Fang Qingchen nodded slightly, indicating understanding. Yang is contrary to yin, and there are countermeasures below, and it is always inevitable that a person who cannot take care of himself at all will be treated coldly like this. In fact, for Chu Ruohong, treating him well or lightly may not be able to feel the difference at all.
"When he got the news of your return, he was transferred to Liu Heng to settle down. Liu Heng is much more careful than me. He gave a death order, he must take care of the emperor, the emperor lives, these people live, the emperor dies, and everyone is buried together. Clothes should be changed every day, and the body should be cleaned every day. If Chu Ruohong hadn't eaten that day, he would have been fed in the evening......"
Receiving Fang Qingchen's slightly impatient eyes, Qin Xufei finally stopped his mouth and no longer put gold on Liu Heng's face.
"As for him, how is it now...... See for yourself. ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
In recent years, the palace of Da Chu has gradually become old and dilapidated.
Qin Xufei doesn't like luxury, he never lives in the palace, and he doesn't handle government affairs in the palace, so the huge palace is almost idle. He had no money and no time, and those palace maids and eunuchs who couldn't be used were naturally dismissed by him. The palace was short of people to take care of, and it was inevitable that it would be dilapidated, but the things that were waiting for him to deal with every day were piled up and anxious. Where can he think of it?
So. Now the so-called glory and wealth of Chu Palace are all temporarily whitewashed and hard filled scenes. The house now looks pretty on the surface, but the paint smells of lime
It's not clean. a layer of stucco that hides the crack smudge. The horn dust in the palace, the inconspicuous places, in fact, have not had time to clean. It's just that everyone is very cooperative and pretends to be blind, so they don't know.
The palace maids and eunuchs didn't have time to recruit, especially the eunuchs, even if someone was willing to do it, the knife wouldn't have time to cut. So I could only temporarily find some old eunuchs who were put back in the civil land to fill the number, and at a glance, there was a row of old fathers-in-law. Fortunately, the new emperor has no relatives and four relatives, he is young, and by the way, he has saved a bunch of concubines, otherwise it would be impossible to support him.
In the palace. It has been renovated really seriously, and it took a lot of money and a lot of effort. In addition to the Jinluan Palace, which decides on state affairs, and the emperor's bedroom, there is only one Ganning Palace. And the subordinates in the palace, the top ones among the short ones are also given priority to Ganning Palace. Because in the Ganning Palace, there is a Taishang Emperor. A crazy one. The Emperor Taishang, who is not yet twenty years old.
A real powerful figure in the Chu State. Fang Qingchen, the most important person.
Inside and outside the Ganning Palace, the people serving the underground palace shuttled back and forth. Clothing crowns. All kinds of utensils are purchased according to the emperor's regulations, and the treatment level is definitely higher than Qin Xufei. A Tai Doctor lived in Gan Ning Hall for a long time to see the body of the Emperor Taishang.
Because of the noble status of the master, the female eunuchs of the emperor's close attendants are also relatively higher than other errand people in the palace. It's just that those young palace maids are not satisfied because of this. Whether it is a position or a fortune, they are all dead, the power in their hands, and the invisible income, this is the living land, the interesting and oily things.
Serving a madman, no matter how well he does, he has no hope of promotion, no one appreciates, and it is impossible to jump over the dragon gate. Walking outside, no one respects him, and when it comes to serving the eunuch who is the madman and the emperor, and the palace maid, everyone turns their backs and must laugh a few times.
But those old eunuchs who have been in the palace for many years and have seen many ups and downs are glad that they are doing their errands now. Now the royal family of Dichu State, to put it bluntly, is just a signboard, and the person who is really in power is not in the palace at all, and currying favor with the emperor or other royal families in order to promote is just a short-term benefit. Once there is any political turmoil, no one may move the monarch with a noble identity and use value, but the palace maids and eunuchs who serve below are likely to be killed easily, and then a group of newcomers who listen to the words of the new master will come up.
In this kind of troubled times, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and after the great wealth, it is a great disaster. Being able to follow a madman who no one will be hostile to, although it will not be meritorious, but there is absolutely no fault, this is the way to survive.
Besides, is it really difficult for a madman to serve?
His biggest request is just not to take away the white bones in his hands, his only hobby is just to talk to the bones.
He just doesn't know how to eat, three meals a day, take advantage of the heat, feed him slowly, as long as you don't disturb him to talk to the bones, although the feeding is slower and more difficult, it can still be successful.
He just couldn't control his stool and scrubbed him in time every time.
More than fifty people, only need to ensure that one is very docile, as long as it does not touch his taboos, he will never attack the madman, he is well fed, warmly dressed, his body is fresh and clean, and his hair is combed neatly, what is so difficult about this.
He will not beat people to death because of the slightest mistake of his subordinates, and he will not wantonly humiliate his subordinates to the extreme for fun. It is much better to serve him than to touch the master's joy and anger all day long, obviously not making mistakes, but inexplicably and causing disasters from the sky. It's not that the work is heavy, it's just that people's hearts are never satisfied.
Therefore, the father-in-law in charge of the affairs in the Ganning Palace is very reasonable and grateful. He suppressed the dissatisfaction of those people and carefully took good care of Chu Ruohong.
He remembered that he removed all the sharp corners of the temple that might hurt people, and that the utensils used were either wood or gold or silver. I was only worried that Chu Ruohong would hurt himself if he had a seizure. He changed his clothes in time and cleaned and combed them every day. Once you have a stool, clean up and wipe yourself immediately. Three meals a day, plus supper, served on time by heat, he didn't know how to eat, so he coaxed him, and when he had no choice but to force him, he was careful not to hurt his body.
It's just that in the past two days, the chief eunuch has also been tired.
Chu Ruohong was delirious, and his clothes should be comfortable and easy to change. But now, during the day, he will be dressed in the full costume of the emperor. Wear basic casual clothes at night. Even this basic casual dress is also very cumbersome. Usually, only one or two people are left to serve by his side, but now more than 20 people are required to bow down and stand beside Chu Ruohong, and when they are drowning in the meal, everyone is watching from the sidelines. This is too emperor, it is better to say that he is a monkey for people to see.
It's easy to get late at night, you can go to these honor guards and let those who fill the scene leave, but Chu Ruohong still hasn't fallen asleep, and after he goes crazy, he has no concept of time, and he will never fall asleep as long as he is not exhausted. Because his routine is not normal, his three meals cannot be counted according to normal hours. Although it is extremely late at night, it is Chu Ruohong's normal eating time.
The chief eunuch personally took the golden spoon and fed him slowly. Chu Ruohong has always only cared about talking to the bones in his arms, and it is extremely rare to open his mouth obediently to take a bite. Seeing that most of the porridge in the bowl was still left, but the heat had gradually dissipated, the old chief eunuch sighed. Straightening his waist and hammering his sore waist with one hand, he was ready to call someone to take the porridge and heat it again.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and took the bowl directly from his hand. I heard a faint voice in my ear: "I'll come." ”
