Chapter 14: Undercurrents
"Princess Ling is a clever person, no wonder the prince is always distressed and protective," the concubine hid her face and laughed.
Different from Ruyan, this concubine's facial features are moving, more spiritual, and her timbre is very soft, and she sounds like a hollow valley orchid - I want to smile and look forward to it, and I think it is gorgeous, and I have a source since then.
"The Queen Mother's body has been sick for many years, I heard that you took care of it?" The concubine is very well-informed.
But when you bring it up at this time, do you want to take credit for me or what?
"Oh? The rumored Ling Wangfu in the palace has a 'miracle doctor female doctor', it turns out to be you? "The emperor is also here to join in the fun.
Isn't this just evil? Why did you rise to the level of a miracle doctor?
"It's the queen mother's noble body that is still there, and the concubine is only ...... It's just a little recuperation. "I'm very humble.
"Only a little recuperation cured the Queen Mother's illness? In this way, it seems that the hospital is useless—"
Concubine Hui has a good-looking face and a good temperament, but it is not enough to find fault. Before her words fell, the emperor's face changed, what is the wind in his ears? What does it mean to be a companion like a tiger? I've seen a lot today......
"The Tai Hospital is full of people who have practiced medicine for generations, treating serious diseases, but not necessarily diagnosing minor illnesses or no diseases, just like the Queen Mother's poor health, it is due to unsatisfactory mood, which is not a disease, and she is naturally refreshed, and the concubine is just making the Queen Mother happy."
It's me who is useless, but not your imperial doctors!
"Princess Ling is a person who can speak well," Concubine Hui looked at me, still smiling like a flower, "The concubines have been often chest tightness and lack of body recently, why don't you let Princess Ling take the pulse of the concubines?" ”
She said as she stretched out her slender fingers and pressed her temples - did this disease really come from now? But when the emperor saw this, he immediately allowed me to come forward and take the pulse - this is also the case! Is this still a ghost? What a feast, now it has become a medical center!
I opened my bow left and right, stroked his wrist, and it took a long time to come to the conclusion - contrived! No sickness! Not sick at all!
"Judging from the pulse, there is nothing wrong, it's just-" I paused with a mysterious pause, and said with a solemn face, "It's just that the symptoms of the concubine are like heart and lung problems, speaking of which, the disease of the heart and intestines is indeed the most difficult to detect from the pulse, and since the body is unwell, it is necessary to pay more attention to rest, otherwise this disease will worsen and it will kill people!" ”
Feel free to ask, where is this statement, the imperial doctor is more conservative, maybe it is more serious!
"Then according to Princess Ling's opinion, how should the concubine recuperate?" The emperor's eyebrows froze together.
"This—" I thought.
"But it doesn't hurt to say—" The emperor was open.
For example...... It's good to stop sleeping or something, the heart disease is a serious illness, and the hospital is the best at it, asking them to give them a few prescriptions for recuperation, I believe that the concubine is young and will be cured in a few days——"
Listening to my diagnosis, the concubine's face sank invisibly, but after a moment, she smiled again, "Your Majesty, Princess Ling's heart is as careful as a needle, if you can let her take care of the concubine's body......"
"The concubine Niangniang said with a smile, she has never been a serious doctor for a day, she can't afford such a big responsibility, and she also asks the imperial brother Mingjian-" Zhou Lingqing finally stopped pretending to be deaf and dumb, he stepped forward to shirk for me, "Besides, she has just drunk a few glasses of wine, who knows if what she said at this time is drunk, why don't you let her brother take her out to sober up and talk back?" ”
The emperor waved his hand at me and Zhou Lingqing with relief, turned his head and said to the concubine, "Tomorrow, I still have to summon the imperial doctor to your palace for a consultation before I can rest assured——"
Zhou Lingqing had already dragged my hand out of the Taihe Hall at this time.
"Don't be in such a hurry, the prince-" This heavy princess's palace dress is not dressed on him.
"What she asks you to do, you just shirk it, why bother with it?"
is worthy of being a person who grew up in the courtyard of the deep palace since he was a child, and no trick can escape his eyes.
"What kind of afterthought is this? How do I shirk it? Say my hand is broken and I can't take my pulse? I suddenly became angry and blurted out, "I know! Does the prince think I bullied her? Mingyan told you, you are right-her face is ruddy, her lips are full of color, it is impossible to have a disease of internal organs, I am just talking nonsense, but you can also see, she is the first to attack, I just take it head-on-"
He was stunned, and only after a while did he sneer, "I can't see it, you forgive this on weekdays, understand that, you are also a powerful person, good at self-defense, and can take the initiative to attack—"
"Anyway, I won't see her again tomorrow or later, and if you have a grudge, you will naturally report it on the spot!" I don't have to be unforgiving.
"It's just a matter of taking revenge on the spot, summoning you into the palace tomorrow, and you will know what a gentleman's revenge is, ten years is not too late-"
When I did this, not only did he not get angry, but he was still making jokes? In vain, I was ready to see him frowning and angry.
I muttered to myself.
But I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - in fact, only I know, none of the above is true. It's just patience, just retreating, just lowering your eyebrows and pleasing to your eyes, this is all something I have done for 17 years, how can there be a mistake?
It's me, it's just myself - it was I who suddenly panicked, lost my soul, never had it, low self-esteem, sadness, disappointment, malaise, all together, in no particular order.
There was another person in my body in an instant, and she was full of aggression, resentment, and anger, and she even tried to figure out the concubine's mind with the worst malice. She told me that she was jealous of the smiling, high-ranking "white moonlight" in her heart—I thought, I'm finished.
Since when? Zhou Lingqing broke into my heart without saying hello.
He was mean-spoken, but he did not scoff at my desire to seek "freedom"; He has fought on the battlefield for many years and has won countless medals, but he never shows off to others; All the new wounds and old scars, just like that, overlapped and lined up on his chest and back. He never seemed to be in pain.
But all along, it was obviously me, it was me who saved him again and again, and I provided him with convenient, thoughtful, and on-call medical passports - how could it be that he was the one who swayed my mind first?
I was thinking wildly when he suddenly stopped, and I looked at his resolute and handsome face, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw him look ahead and say in a calm voice, "This is it—the residence of my mother." ”
Watching his thin lips open slightly, I suddenly opened my mouth - sure enough, people are good-looking, they have a huge advantage, and they can "confuse people's minds" casually.
"What are you thinking?" He suddenly raised his hand and shook it in front of my eyes, his brows furrowed, "Being in the palace, being so absent-minded, and dying is not clear-"
“……”
It's just that I don't know how to speak human words, but it's a pity for this face.
"Ling Wang Ye'an-" At this time, the two palace guards at the gate saw us standing in the distance, and Xu recognized it, so they stepped forward and saluted.
"The princess wants to come and see the place where this king grew up as a child, you two, open the palace gate, and guard it from afar——"
Well, you say I want to see it, I want to see it.
"This ......" The two looked at each other, and their faces were different.
"Could it be that this king needs to tell the emperor to get his wish?" Zhou Lingqing asked with a cold and calm face.
"No, no, no... After the Yongning Palace is sealed, no one is allowed to enter, but I am afraid that if I tell the emperor, I may not be ......."
"Now, open the door to this king, and this king will bear all the consequences."
Zhou Lingqing clenched his fists and changed his complexion.
The two finally whispered a few words and opened the palace door, and begged, "Please don't be embarrassed, just get in and out quickly." ”
So, in broad daylight, under the bright sky, Zhou Lingqing broke into the "Forbidden Palace" like this, I really don't blame his imperial brother for being suspicious of him, targeting him, this guy is too arrogant.
Yongning Hall is not big, at a glance it looks very exquisite, there is a swing hanging on one side of the courtyard, both sides of the corridor are the seasonal flower clusters that bloom brightly, the corridor pillars are inconspicuous, and the dragon and phoenix that take off are also carved, the whole courtyard is not deserted because of three or five years of not living in people.
Zhou Lingqing looked around and laughed at himself with a straight face, "I knew that Qingtian could come in so openly during the day, why did he become a night walker and be arrested three times and twice?" ”
So who knows which bowl of paste in your head is working?
"I've searched the hall, it's empty, and the most dangerous place to come is the safest place, maybe somewhere in the courtyard?"
After hearing this, I remembered that the two of them had a "mission" with them, and they began to follow his example and grope back and forth in the yard.
"Ever since I set up a mansion outside the palace at the age of fifteen, I have rarely come back, and even when I enter the palace, I always come and go in a hurry," he pressed against the root of the wall, groping for each stone, his eyes gloomy, "In the past, the mother concubine was like this, pacing back and forth around the root of the wall, not tired, and not stopping—"
But today is not to remember the bittersweet thoughts, I finally couldn't help but interrupt him, "Lord, it's important to find a secret letter-"
His back shook, he touched the palace wall and put it down, and snorted coldly, "I'm here, trying to make you empathize with me?" Sure enough, it's a fool's dream. ”
“……”
I pursed my lips, only thinking that this person was really hypocritical - I felt that I felt day and night, and I didn't look at the timing.
Just as I was speechless, suddenly, an inconspicuous dark red next to Wan Nianqing caught my eye, and I stepped forward and couldn't help but cry out, "Blood!" ”
Zhou Lingqing immediately teleported over when he heard this, and after he looked up and down, he looked at me with disdain, "What a fuss, mine!" ”
“?”
"Last time it was here," he said, pointing to the corner where evergreen was planted, and the scene reappeared, "That's it, someone stabbed ...... the sword."
In this way, the sword wound last time was not left for meeting Bai Yueguang, but after meeting Bai Yueguang, he came to Yongning Hall again and was caught?
Do you have to hang the lottery to be worthy of the palace night tour?
"Blood... There was a lot of flow, and a lot of it seeped into the cracks of the stones...... "I pulled the cracks on the side of the masonry with my hands" and "praised".
"Seep down?" He was amazed, "But after standing for a moment, I flipped out, so that I wouldn't be able to penetrate—"
"Unless ......"
"It's empty down there!" We both spoke in unison.
