Chapter 14: Snow Lotus
The next day, after the next day, Xi Ze passed the prayer night into the palace, and in the Chengguang Palace, the prayer night was still folded in his sleeves, and his eyes were closed.
Xi Ze sent back the palace people, and said slowly to pray for the night: "Pray for the night, I heard from Wanfeng today that you have moved to the Xia Mansion?" Why is it so sudden, is it a little tired of living in Prince Gong's Mansion? My original intention was to reward Prince Gong's Mansion to you as a house, and I would never let others live in it in the future! ”
Qi Ye slowly opened his dark eyes when he heard this, and replied: "Prince Gong's Mansion is your residence when you were the prince, how can I live in my own house, if I let those talkative ministers know, I am afraid that I will have to talk and quarrel non-stop, I have always lived in the wing room of Prince Gong's Mansion, and I dare not trespass!" ”
At the mention of those ministers, Xi Ze was suddenly a little displeased: "My affairs, even if they are only the size of a grain of rice, they have to take care of it, and they will never finish talking!" It's annoying! You've been with me for so many years, how can I leave you without a place to live? Is it convenient for you to live in Xia Mansion? There are a lot of people in Xiafu, and you have always liked to be quiet, will it be too noisy? Otherwise, I'll give you a house! ”
Qi Ye hurriedly said: "Thank you for the emperor's reward, I live in the South Garden of the Xia Mansion, and I live with the evening Feng, and the evening Feng does not allow the people of the Xia Mansion to step into the South Garden, so no one comes to disturb me, please rest assured that the emperor!" ”
"That's good!" Xi Ze said with satisfaction, "It's okay for you to live with Wan Feng, with Wan Feng as your companion, you won't feel lonely!" But it is not a long-term solution for you to live in Xia Mansion after all, so let's wait until Wanfeng marries a wife, I will give you a house, and then you will move out! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
In fact, Xi Ze prayed to enter the palace at night today There is something important to ask, yesterday in Weiyang Palace, in front of Yun Tian, Xi Ze is inconvenient to ask Yun Tian about the situation, Xi Ze thought about it all night, and always felt that something was wrong, he frowned slightly, and asked seriously: "Yesterday in Weiyang Palace, it is inconvenient for me to ask carefully, why did Concubine Rong fall and break her bones so easily." What is the situation of her body now, there is no one else here now, you talk carefully and listen to me, you must not hide it! ”
Mention the cloud tilt. Qi Ye's heart trembled slightly, Yun Tian's physical condition was a big heart disease of Qi Ye, there was hatred and pity, and a variety of feelings were mixed together, mixed into a taste that was not a taste. Lingering in his heart, he closed his eyes, not wanting to reveal his feelings: "Concubine Rong's poisoning is just right, her body has not been fully raised, after this difficulty, her body is not as good as before, especially now that the weather is still so cold, she is already very good without lingering on the sickbed, and now her bones are more fragile than ordinary people, so it is easier to fracture!" ”
Xi Ze's heart ached when he heard this: "Is the poison of this red jade branch really so powerful?" After nearly three months of recuperation, there is still no recovery, you checked Concubine Rong's pulse yesterday. Has all the poison in her body been cleaned up? ”
Mentioning this, Qi Ye hated it in his heart, he pondered the words, and Mu Ran replied: "The residual poison has actually been cleaned up a long time ago, but the medicine used in detoxification is too strong, and the side effects are too strong, leaving sequelae, and besides, she was hit by an arrow before, and her body is not good, so now her body has become so weak." In fact, as long as you take care of it, pay attention to keeping warm when the weather is cold, and try to avoid causing old diseases, you should be able to spend the past few years safely. Your Majesty, don't worry too much! ”
His voice did not fluctuate, there was no temperature, as if he was talking about an unknown person, a long-ago thing, but it was heard in Xi Ze's ears. But it is a word for word, wasn't the arrow wound in the past caused by his mistake? It turned out that Yun Tian's body had become weak since then, and he couldn't withstand a little wind and rain, who could he blame? Is it the resentment of the King of Qi who has been exiled to Minzhou? Or do you complain about King Yu who was imprisoned in Shangyang Palace? In the end, he only hated himself, it was his carelessness that caused irreparable pain, Xi Ze secretly clenched his fists little by little, and asked in a hateful voice: "Is there any way to make Concubine Rong's body stronger?" No, ......" what Xi Ze wanted was, "Do you have a way to prolong Yun Tian's life?" Even if it's a few years, it's best to make up for the ten years of her life that have been lost...... You have a way, don't you? ”
This is almost whimsical, even if this "whimsical" prayer night has thought about it himself, but he can only do nothing to say: "Your Majesty, the life span of a person is determined by heaven, and it is not a ...... that can be changed at will by manpower."
"No......" Xi Ze interrupted eagerly, "pray for the night, you don't have to comfort me with such words, I know you must have a way, you say it, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it!" ”
Qi Ye was helpless, sighed and said: "I am not absolutely sure that I can make up all the ten years that have been folded, so I can only try my best!" I once saw in ancient books that there is a big red snow lotus on the top of Changbai Mountain, which is different from the snow lotus in other places, and is the most precious and has the effect of prolonging life...... However, I have been to Changbai Mountain, but I have not found the snow lotus mentioned in the ancient books......"
Xi Ze's eyes couldn't help but shine when he heard this: "Pray for the night, I know that you must have a way!" In this way, I will send someone to go with you to Changbai Mountain to find this big red snow lotus! Xi Ze was afraid that the prayer night would be postponed, and said eagerly, "Pray for the night, this time, you must help me, as long as you can pick the snow lotus back, no matter what reward you want, I will promise you!" ”
Seeing this, he deliberately stood coldly and did not speak for a while, Xi Ze was really anxious: "Okay, okay, I know that Changbai Mountain is very cold and bitter, and it is not easy for you to go this time, when you come back, I will definitely let you rest for a long time, and it will not disturb you, and then send a few slaves who can massage to serve you, you will agree......"
Qi Ye deliberately lengthened his tone and reluctantly said, "Okay...... I'll just go! It's just that Changbai Mountain is far away, the cliffs are steep, inaccessible, and very cold, are you sure someone is willing to go with me? "I don't like a lot of people at night," if you don't really want to go, you probably won't be able to find Snow Lotus, and it's useless to go!" ”
Xi Ze couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that he agreed, but he still seemed to be a little uneasy: "You're going alone again?" Will it work? Don't you even want servants? ”
Pray for the night lukewarmly: "Don't worry, Wanfeng will arrange a secret guard for me to protect me all the way, I don't need a servant!" All you have to do is give me some more silver tickets! ”
"Okay, no problem!" Xi Ze was overjoyed, "I asked someone to send you to Changbai Mountain in a carriage, and then wait for you at the foot of the mountain, and you will come back immediately when you pick the snow lotus mentioned in the ancient books, and I will be rewarded!" ”
In this way, three days later, the prayer night set off for Changbai Mountain.
However, as soon as he left with his front heel, the news of his departure with his back heel spread throughout the palace unconsciously, and everyone knew that the emperor's divine doctor had left and would take a long time to return! (To be continued.) )
