Chapter 12: Misery

This year's autumn rain has been raining longer than in previous years, and my wedding with Haoxuan is like a dream, as plain as a pool of clear water.

On the day of marriage, on the night of our cave room, he spent it in the palace, while I stayed alone in the empty room until dawn.

Now, there is no time to ask too many reasons, but he wants to go to Mobei.

I only hope that Haoxuan can negotiate with his uncle King Mobei when he goes to Mobei and bring Ziqian back safely.

Because, my parents' hatred still needs Haoxuan to help me complete it. But I don't want Ziqian, who I regard as a relative, to be in any danger.

After Haoxuan left, I got along with Mu Ling every day, and the minions up and down the palace were very kind, which was completely different from the palace. Probably, there is no competition for favor and jealousy between each other here.

During this time, I really got to know Mu Ling, although she was the daughter of Prime Minister Mu and the niece of the Queen Mother, but she didn't have a little severance. I've always wanted to ask her, since Haoxuan is not the biological son of Empress Dowager Mu, why did the Mu family marry her to Haoxuan as a princess.

But I never got out of the question.

A month after Haoxuan left, I didn't take half a step out of the palace, and in Jingyixuan, I felt like I had returned to the days in Taoyuan Village, comfortable and leisurely.

Early in the morning, I went to greet Mu Ling as usual, but when I first arrived at Bai Li Xuan, where Mu Ling lived, I was startled by the figures of the minions coming in and out, and their faces were full of fear and worry.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, it could be that something had happened to Mu Ling.

Ru Ping, who was waiting for me, looked at me and whispered, "The princess's illness is probably happening again." ”

I looked at Ru Ping, frowned and asked, "Princess, hasn't it always been bad?" ”

Ru Ping nodded, looking a little sad, "The princess's body has never been good, and in the past two years, it has been declining all the way. The prince invited a lot of famous doctors, but he still couldn't see it well. ”

"Why don't you invite a doctor, the best doctors in the world are in the palace." I was very puzzled by Ru Ping's words, and I was even more worried about Mu Ling's condition.

Ru Ping lowered her eyebrows and didn't answer my question, I was a little angry and accentuated my tone, "Why don't you reply?" ”

Xu is seeing that I was already angry, Ru Ping hurriedly spoke, "Princess Fang, don't be angry. Because, the relationship between the prince and the emperor is not very good, and the prince has never asked the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose the princess. The prince said that he didn't want to owe it to the palace. ”

I couldn't help but sneer, "Isn't the prince the emperor's own brother?" After finishing speaking, he ran to Mu Ling's bed. I never found out that Mu Ling was uncomfortable, in the month I married into the palace, I talked and laughed with her every day, her spirit has always been very good, and her face is also good.

Still outside the door, I heard Mu Ling's intermittent coughing, and there were a few slave girls in the room, as well as a few elderly people, who should be doctors.

When the minions saw me, they said respectfully: "Side princess!" I bowed slightly, and walked to Mu Ling's bed, her cheeks were very pale, without a trace of blood, and her eyes were closed, and she looked very weak.

I put her cold hand in the palm of my hand and whispered, "Mu Ling! ”

She opened her eyes slightly and smiled reluctantly, "You're here." ”

I felt the urge to cry, and I tried to restrain myself, "How are you?" Why have you never told me that you are not in good health? ”

She smiled a little desolately, her eyes were filled with tears, and it took a long time to say, "You all go down!" I'd like to talk to the princess. ”

When the servants and doctors in the room heard this, they bowed down and slowly retreated.

After staring at me for a long time, Mu Ling opened his mouth and said to me: "I want to see the emperor!" ”

I was almost shocked, she wanted to see the emperor? Is it a stream cloud? I heard you right!

Xu was a little surprised to see me, she closed her eyes and was silent for a long time, I could see tears slipping from the corners of her eyes, I reached out to wipe away her tears that slipped down, she opened her eyes again, and murmured: "Zhen Luo, I don't believe it, the emperor has no feelings for you." I don't believe that you are willing to come to this palace. ”

Taken aback, I looked at her in bewilderment, not knowing what she wanted to say to me.

"Go back to the emperor! Whatever he does to you, don't despair. She took my hands and spat out deeply.

I shook my head slightly, still not understanding what she meant. Get back? Can you go back?

"I grew up in a family that lived for power, and I knew that I would eventually fall victim to power. Although Brother Haoxuan is not his aunt's biological son, his aunt has always regarded him as her own son. In order to allow my father to favor Brother Haoxuan, he insisted that I marry him, at that time, my father tried his best to stop it, but after all, he couldn't resist the aunt who was the queen at the time. Even so, his father still failed to support Haoxuan's elder brother as emperor. I have seen a lot of power struggles, and I know in advance that the emperor left that will, and my father will not cause trouble, once it succeeds, it is reasonable to say, if it fails, the whole family will be wiped out. Zhen Luo, you must know that kind of taste. Her words were so soft, but they contained a desolate feeling that I couldn't say, she was kind, but she was so helpless.

I didn't say a word, I wanted to hear her finish.

Her tears have never stopped, thinking about it, she has endured too many tears over the years.

"Zhen Luo, back to the emperor, you and Brother Haoxuan will not have a good result, and I firmly believe that you still love the emperor." There was a little sadness in her eyes, but her words were affirmative.

How can I answer her! I do still love Liuyun, but more than that, I hate. He hurt me and took advantage of me. We are not as good as we used to be.

Tears rolled in my eyes, but I held back. However, in the end, it couldn't withstand the unbearable sourness and desolate sliding.

I still didn't answer her words, but only said comfortingly: "You are not well, take a good rest." Then he got up and retreated outside the house.

The grandmother who was waiting for Mu Ling stopped me at the door, her eyes were begging, "Princess Fang, the old slave begs, save our princess!" ”

It took me half a sound to react back to what she said, save the princess, isn't it Mu Ling? looked at her with some puzzlement, and said, "The princess is just not in good health, and she will recover soon, Mama, don't worry." ”

The grandmother shook her head, and two lines of tears fell, "Princess, I'm afraid it won't get better, but she, she doesn't want others to worry, and always pretends that she is good." ”

Her words made me suddenly shocked and annoyed, "What is called good, such unlucky words, I can't say them again in the future!" ”

Mama was unmoved, she still shook her head, and then said: "Princess Fang, please come with the old slave, the doctors are waiting for you in the main hall, the prince is not here, and now I can only rely on you to get an idea." ”

I bowed my head slightly and followed her all the way to the main hall, and I also wanted to know what Mu Ling's illness was.

As soon as the front foot stepped into the high doorway of the main hall, three doctors rushed up, first saluted me, and only then did one of them speak: "The princess's illness is irreparable, and the old men are beyond the power to recover, and please ask the princess to confess." ”

My head was a little drowsy, I looked at them woodenly, and said in a trembling voice: "What do you mean powerless?" How can you, as doctors, say such things so easily? The princess is just not in good health, and she will recover if she heals well. ”

The three of them also shook their heads at the same time and sighed, "Side princess, the princess is not in bad health, but because..."

"Because of what? The doctor might as well say it bluntly. "I have always disliked other people's speech, and now I am even more involved in Mu Ling's condition, and I am very anxious.

Only then did the three older doctors slowly speak, "The princess has been taking Xiyu pills all year round, but now she is too deeply poisoned, and the old man can't cure it, the princess, please forgive the old man for his poor medical skills, and he can't save the princess!" ”

"Xi Yu Maru?" I spat out those three words in disbelief.

Seeing that I didn't understand the meaning of these three words, the older doctor spoke again, "This Xiyu Pill is a chronic poison, and long-term use will cause coughing up blood, dizziness and weakness, and finally vomiting blood and dying." ”

My eyes widened, I took two steps back, and then said, "Since it is a poison, how can the princess take it for a long time?" Are you misdiagnosed! ”

"Back to the princess, the old men didn't dare to make a conclusion at first, but after these few days of consultation, it is indeed a Xi Yu pill. Although it is taken for a long time, because the dose is very small each time, it is not easy to be detected, and the old men have always thought that the princess suffers from asthma, but recently they found out that this is not the case..."Another doctor spoke, and the three of them kept talking with their heads buried in their hearts, very guilty.

My body trembled and I asked in a low voice, "Isn't there a cure for poison?" ”

The three of them shook their heads again, and my heart hit rock bottom. Mu Ling, why did she take poison for a long time, why?

No, I'm going to ask her about it. The Mu Ling in my heart is by no means such a person.

Without hesitation, he turned around and ran outside the main hall, I didn't believe that Mu Ling would despise his life like this.

I also don't believe that Mu Ling would have the idea of seeking death.

While I was still outside the door, I heard her coughing sound inside, mixed with the sobbing sound of others, which made me listen to it very bitterly.

Pushing the door straight in, I first saw a girl with tears in her eyes leaning next to Mu Ling's bed, and when she heard the sound of pushing the door, she looked over, and slowly stood up straight and said: "Side princess!" Hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face.

My mood was extremely solemn, but my tone was very calm, "You go out first!" The girl nodded and retreated to the door.

I sat on the edge of her bed, and she smiled beautifully, and she was still pretending to be okay in this situation, which made me feel uncomfortable and unbearable. Under that smiling face, the torture of illness is hidden, and under that beautiful face, too much is hidden.

"Why are you taking poison!" The voice couldn't be controlled, and I asked directly.

Mu Ling's smile froze, and then gradually dissipated, looking a little surprised but so at a loss, "You... It's all there. ”

"Mu Ling, I always thought that you were different from other women, you are so kind, so knowledgeable, but why are you so irresponsible for yourself." I had a hint of anger in my eyes, and I felt more pity for her.

She is also a poor woman.

Mu Ling gently closed his eyes, endured it for a long time, and finally said: "If I don't die, the emperor and Brother Haoxuan will definitely die!" ”

When I stood up from the edge of the bed, my heart was even more shocked, and my whole body trembled violently, but I only asked, "What did you say?" ”
