609.Chapter 609: Pei Yuanhao is critically ill
I only felt a tingling in my back, and my whole body trembled, Chang Qing looked at me and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I looked up at her and didn't speak, Chang Qing looked at my pale face and panicked eyes, and seemed to feel the torment in my heart, so she didn't say anything, just took my wrist and pulled me to the bed, and pressed my shoulder: "Sit down and rest." ”
“……”
At this time, it was no longer a matter of persistence, my mental strength was haggard to the point that I could not bear it, so I could only bow my head and gently confess, and sit on the bed with my side on the side. She told Shui Xiu a few more words, and Shui Xiu came over to protect me all the time, carefully wiped my sweat, and fed me some water to drink.
I breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that there was no Nian Shen in this tent, and I wonder where he is now? Did it fall into the hands of Shen Gongjing? As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly became nervous again, looked up and said to Chang Qing: "Empress, the eldest prince, he-"
She raised her hand and gestured to me.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I heard a sound of footsteps outside, and a voice said outside: "Queen Mother, the last general will wait for the will of the Queen Mother and send Her Royal Highness over." ”
As soon as the words fell, Kou'er hurriedly went over and lifted the tent, and saw Nian Shen being led by two tall soldiers standing at the door.
He was dressed quite neatly, but his little face was pale with fright, and his big eyes were full of frightened and frightened looks, like a frightened deer, as soon as he saw Chang Qing, he hurriedly ran in and threw himself into her arms: "Queen Mother!" ”
Chang Qing was knocked by him, barely stood firmly, looked down at the child, buried her little face in her, her thin shoulders were trembling, and her eyes also revealed a slight look of pity, but the expression on her face was still faint, only stroked the child's heart, and looked up at the two soldiers.
The two of them looked at her calm eyes, but they seemed to be a little afraid, and took a step back: "The last general will retire." ”
Chang Qing didn't speak, and Buckle put down the curtain.
At this time, I heard the sound of Xi Xi Suo from outside, as if someone came over and asked, "Sent in?" ”
"Yes, sir."
"Hmph, at this time, do you still think that child is a treasure?"
The man sneered, and his voice slowly drifted away.
When I heard this voice, my brows furrowed slightly--it was Ouyang Yu.
The meaning of his last sentence -
Before I could think about it, I saw Nian Shen curled up in Chang Qing's arms, his eyes were red, and he kept muttering: "Queen Mother...... Queen ......"
Chang Qing was the first time, slowly squatting down, hugging his thin body, and said softly: "Nian Shen is frightened, right?" ”
"Hmm."
"It's fine. The queen mother is here, don't be afraid. ”
"Queen Mother!"
Nian Shen pursed her mouth, and stretched out her little hand to hug Chang Qing's neck, and her little face rubbed against her cheek.
Although, we all know that Chang Qing is not his biological mother, but at this moment, her gentle eyes and expressions seem to be really the flesh and blood she gave birth to in October.
Seeing this scene, somehow, my eyes turned red, and a hot current surged up.
In fact, every woman has such a gentle and strong feeling, for that little life, she can pay a qiē to resist all the injuries for him, even if she is covered in bruises, and even gives her life, she has no complaints.
But what about the child in my life?
Where is she now? What are you doing? Will you also be hurt by something, will you miss your mother's protection when you cry in pain?
And I can't do anything for her......
Thinking of this, I slowly lowered my head, the hot tears in my eyes fell on the placket, and with a gentle click, I immediately blurred on my clothes, and because of this, my vision was clearer.
The mind has also cleared up a bit.
Now, it's not the time for me to feel sorry for myself.
I can give a little for my departed son, even if my life is as long as I can find her!
I must find her, the premise is - I must get through this difficult situation in front of me, no matter what Shen Gongjun has to do, no matter how difficult the situation in front of me is, I must pass, only by escaping from here, can I find my departed son!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench my fists!
At this time, Chang Qing had already gently let go of Nian Shen, although the child was frightened, but fortunately his mind was still very clear, and he asked in a low voice: "Queen Mother, what happened outside, is he okay?" ”
"Your father? He- he's fine. ”
"Then, why do those officials keep going to Taifu Shen's tent, and when the ministers come over, they see them constantly going in and out."
"Oh?"
Nian Shen shrank again and said, "Erchen heard them talk a lot, and they said-"
"Say what?"
"Say, say that my father is critically ill."
"What?!"
Chang Qing's eyebrows frowned, and he hurriedly looked back at me, and I was stunned for a while.
Pei Yuanhao, critically ill?
How can it be?
I had just left the king's tent for a short time, and just after the end of the day, he was still lying peacefully on the dragon couch, why did the word come out now that he was critically ill?!
Nian Shen looked at the shocked expressions of both of us, and was suddenly frightened, holding Chang Qing's sleeve: "Queen Mother!" Queen Mother, my father won't really be critically ill, right? ”
Chang Qing is the queen in the end, and she has probably experienced a lot of ups and downs over the years, so she quickly calmed down, stroked Nian Shen's face, and said, "Don't be afraid, your father is fine, you heard it wrong." As she spoke, she turned her head and said, "Buckle, serve His Highness and sleep for a while." Look at you, your eyes are so red, you didn't sleep well last night. Just go. ”
Kou'er hurriedly walked over, took Nian Shen to the other end to sleep, this child is still young, listening to his mother say this, it seems to be relieved, rubbing his eyes and going to the other side of the bed with Kou'er, after lying down for a while, he fell asleep.
Chang Qing got up and walked in front of me and looked down at me: "What do you think?" ”
I gritted my teeth and thought for a long time, and said, "This can't be! ”
“……”
"Although the emperor's condition is dangerous, he has always been very stable. It can't get worse so quickly in a short period of time. ”
Chang Qing nodded silently, gritted his teeth for a while, and said, "He's really scheming!" ”
This "he" naturally refers to Shen Gongyi!
I am now suddenly shocked to see how shrewd and terrible this person is, he took advantage of the pretext that Pei Yuanhao was attacked and the Praetorian Guards were unfavorable, took over the protection of the entire camp, and when all the manpower was in place, he immediately spread the rumor that the emperor was critically ill. In this way, the whole situation is under his control, and the king's account is no exception, what does he want to say, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the ministers, this set of tricks will be played logically!
Cold sweat dripping down my forehead.
Chang Qing's face was also solemn as never before, she sat next to her and muttered, "If only my father were here." ”
"......" I bit my lower lip and didn't speak.
Even if the Taishi is really here, I'm afraid that things won't be easy.
Shen Gongjin's shrewdness lies in the fact that even though the entire Juma River Valley is now in his hands, on the surface he still manages to whitewash the peace, and he does not see the slightest sign of turmoil.
If he really wants to force the palace to seize the throne, not only Chang Taishi and Fu Badai who stayed in the capital, but even the civil and military officials who accompanied him this time will definitely not be so obedient and let him do whatever he wants; But now that he is in control of the situation, the excuse he uses is that King Qin is escorting, then these people don't dare to move, if they do, they will be the same as Sun Jingfei before, a rebellious hat will be buttoned down, and no one will be able to carry it!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench my fists.
In other words, the current situation has not yet seen a winner or a loser.
At the very least, Shen Gongyi needs a sufficient reason to face all the civil and military officials who accompany him here, including Chang Yanbai and Fu Badai when he returns to Beijing in the future.
That is to say-
Dowager!
Now, it depends on how the queen mother in the king's tent will deal with the situation in front of her.
Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of that day, when Shen Gongyun said the words "mother and son heart" in front of me, that kind of meaningful expression and confident smile, although I haven't figured out some things yet, but I believe that he has mastered the secret of the queen mother, and also mastered the emperor's biggest weakness.
If, he really used this weakness to threaten the Queen Mother-
I couldn't even think about it.
Dowager...... What will she do?
Will she be the emperor's Amitabha?
For the rest of the day, we were under house arrest.
I don't know if it's because of the scorching sun outside, or because everyone has a fire in their hearts, I just feel that the tent is like a steamer, tormenting everyone inside, I sit on the edge of the bed, listening to every footstep outside, everyone's voice, but gradually, I can't hear any sound, only my own heartbeat, a sound, echoing in my ears, monotonous but never-ending, almost driving people crazy.
Compared to my anxiety, although Chang Qing didn't look calm, she tried her best to calm down, she woke up from a deep sleep, she sat on the edge of the bed, gently fanned him with a small fan, and softly asked him to sleep a little longer.
Nian Shen muttered: "Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't want to sleep, Erchen wants to go to see his father." ”
“……”
"Mother, is he really okay?"
“……”
Chang Qing's face froze for a moment, but he immediately made a soft smile: "Of course." When did the queen mother turn away from you? ”
"But—"
Nian Shen still wanted to say something, suddenly, there was a noise outside, as if someone was scolding loudly, the voice was getting louder and louder, faintly hearing what "lackey", and what "disloyalty and injustice", I frowned when I heard it, simply got up and walked to the door, lifted the curtain and looked out.
I saw that outside Shen Gong's tent not far away, many people were crowded there, and in the crowd, a tall young man was dragged out by several soldiers, but he was still unwilling to struggle, and scolded loudly: "Liu Qinghan, you lackey!" Unfaithful and unrighteous bastards! You actually acted for the tiger, you can't die well! ”
“……!”
My heart shook violently, and my eyes widened.
On the other end of the crowd, at the door of the tent, stood a figure I knew all too well.
He was still wearing a white casual coat, and his hair was slightly messy and scattered at the back of his head, and he was simply tied with a hairband, and a few strands of messy hair fell in front of him, gently swaying with the wind, covering the dark and quiet eyes, but he couldn't cover the cold and ice-like expression on that handsome face.
I froze completely, staring blankly at this scene, the young official had been dragged away, but the scolding was still endless: "Stooge! Minion! ”
He blinked faintly.
There were also many officials standing around, all with very complicated expressions on their faces, some frightened, some stunned, some disdainful, some envious, all looking at him, but he was always cold and quiet, like an ice sculpture, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything.
After a long while, he waved his hand lightly, turned and walked back to the tent.
Just as he turned around, he seemed to be inadvertent, turned his head and looked at me.
I felt my heart tremble and the curtain slid down my hand.
I can't hear all the noise outside.
At this moment, I could only hear the sound of my own heartbeat, thump, thumping in my chest like a drum, and the sound echoed in my ears like thunder, boom, boom, so that my whole body was about to shatter.
What's going on?
What's going on?!
I was completely empty, I didn't know what I could do, I didn't even understand what I had just seen, and all I could think of was the eyes that were covered in the black eyelashes of a crow's wing.
Why? Why is this happening?!
The tent also became stiff all of a sudden, and several of them looked at me, but they all hesitated and didn't speak, only Nian Shen lay on the bed, blinking and looking at me with big eyes, and then at Chang Qing: "Queen Mother, what is a 'lackey'?" ”
“……”
Chang Qing couldn't speak, just frowned slightly and looked up at me.
I was still standing in the doorway, my blood all over my body seemed to be frozen into ice, and the chill that gushed out from the bottom of my heart made me shiver and tremble as if my body would shatter in the next moment.
At this moment, the curtain behind him was lifted by a hand.
The sunlight shone on the ground in front of me through the door of the tent, slightly dazzling, and in the sunlight, a person's figure also fell on me, and the thick shadow also covered my heart at this moment.
I slowly turned around and met those dark eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
