Chapter 364: Crying and Laughing Impermanence
The lights in the hall of Huining were as bright as day.
The palace maids, chamberlains, and imperial doctors were busy, and they couldn't reduce the cold of the night, as well as Zhang Xueyi's moans and whimpering from the courtyard of the deep palace.
"Official...... Why don't you come to ...... yet? โ
"The servant has sent someone to invite you."
"Why didn't the official come ......?"
"The official family accompanies Zhou Niangzi in Xiangluan Pavilion. Zhou Niangzi's fetus is unstable......"
"If she is unstable, she wants to be accompanied by the official family, my life is almost gone, and the official family doesn't care?"
โโฆโฆโ
No one can answer this proposition.
At the beginning, a few palace maids from the Huining Hall were waiting beside them, and Xin Yi and Xingyuan couldn't intervene at all. Later, in Zhang Xueyi's endless questioning, crying and anger, several palace maids couldn't stand it and couldn't stand it, so Xin Yi had the opportunity to sit next to Zhang Xueyi and coax her and say a few words with her.
On the second watch, Zhang Xue had already fainted once.
The imperial doctor probed out the death vein, saying that the concubine was red-faced and thin-lived, and she was afraid that she was going to die. But in less than half an hour, Zhang Xue also magically opened her eyes again, and saw back and forth on the death line, which can be described as nine deaths......
She's a grinder, especially tonight.
The whole palace was tortured by Zhang Xueye, but her eyes widened, and she returned to the light, crying and scolding energetically for a while, and calling the official family like crazy for a while.
The extremely tired imperial doctor and the palace people cursed her countless times in her heart to hurry up and see Lord Yama, but this Zhang Xue just couldn't let go of that breath......
In the end, she couldn't make a sound in her voice, and her eyes still refused to close, and she kept looking at the temple door, crying silently, and her mouth opened and closed, as if she was muttering something.
"Lady, this is waiting for the official's house."
"If you don't see the official family, you can't feel at ease when the lady leaves......"
"Woo woo woo ......"
A few younger girls cried first, and then whimpered in the Huining Palace.
At this hour, there was silence in the palace.
Except for the Huining Hall, the palace lights in the rest of the places were extinguished.
But tonight is sleepless, and countless people are waiting with their eyes open.
Wait for a generation of adulterous concubines to swallow their breath.
Wait for that death knell to sound.
"Lady ......"
"Woo, lady......"
The cry was sad. Xin Yi sat in the corner of the Huining Temple, like an invisible person with no sense of existence.
Footsteps kept coming and going in front of her in the middle of the night, and people saw her, but they didn't see her.
Who would look at a blind man?
Xin Yi faced the candle flame calmly, pinching the knuckles of his left hand with his right hand, one stanza, and another, as if he was sitting bored, as if waiting for the time to come......
"Apricot rounds." She stood up suddenly, "You go out with me." โ
The palace at night is cold and silent, and there seems to be a lurking killing machine everywhere.
The lights of the Kunning Hall had long been extinguished, and it was so silent that it seemed that the noise of the ghosts of the Huining Hall could not be heard crying wolf.
Cao Yuzhen lay quietly on the bed, not sleepy.
The darkness stared at her like a ferocious beast with cold eyes, and the man who was sleeping in the tent did not move. She didn't sleep well, she couldn't stand the noise, and her brows tightened more and more.
This harem is too noisy, and one less Zhang Xue may be able to be quiet for a few years. Although the Zhao Guanjia's eyes that are good at discovering beauty will never make the harem empty for too long, and the delicate ladies will use eighteen kinds of martial arts and endless tricks in order to obtain holy favors, Cao Yuzhen enjoys the peace of mind at this moment......
This is what a harem should look like.
There is no wriggling conspiracy and calculation, and there is no murderous life and death.
This night, everything is silent.
Countless people, like her, are quietly waiting for a spring breeze......
"Sage." The faint candle flame casts a warm yellow glow in the darkness.
Cao Yuqi unconsciously tensed up.
In the palace whirlpool, trouble is so unguardable.
"The saint is asleep, what disturbs him?" Red Cloud, who was on vigil, asked alertly.
However, listening to her voice, she was not half sleepy, and even brought a hint of anticipation, obviously waiting for the wind to blow.
"The one in Huining Hall is no good......"
"The sage said that she would not interfere in the affairs of the Huining Palace, and would go to the official family if she had something. It's such a night, don't disturb the saint's good sleep......"
"No, it's not someone from Huining Palace, it's someone who comes to talk about Huining Palace."
Hongyun turned his head and glanced at the vaguely swaying gauze tent.
She knew that Empress Cao didn't sleep, so she was silent for a while, and didn't hear the master's stop, so she asked, "What's the matter?" โ
"Please save Mrs. Zhang's ......"
"What nonsense? A saint is not a doctor...... Besides, you have forgotten how the one in the Huining Hall bullied us? Eat something outside the grill, where do you elbow to pestle......"
"This time the saint has to take care of it."
The voice paused and sighed, "Someone came to say that the saint wanted to save not the one in the Huining Temple, but himself." The one in Huining Hall who has not been alive for a few days, sooner or later. But the saint didn't come forward tonight, and the official blamed him and didn't say anything...... Next, maybe it's the turn of Kunning Palace. โ
Red Cloud quietly leaned close to the window and looked out.
The palace lamp reflected a person's shadow and could not be seen clearly.
There was movement in the veil behind him.
Cao Yuqing sat up slowly, "Change clothes." โ
ยท
The head of the wall of the Huining Temple.
A man crouched on the green tiles, blending in with the night.
"Chirp...... Chirp ......"
Birdsong began like a nightingale swooping through the woods.
A small yellow door groped against the base of the wall, and after a moment of silence, two more chirping birds sounded outside, and he listened with his ears pricked up, and slowly opened the masonry of a wall.
Inside is an oiled paper packet.
He took it out and sniffed at the tip of his nose, put the things in his arms in, and was about to close the wall tiles, when a cool breeze suddenly came from behind, and the figure flashed in front of him, and the little yellow door didn't have time to react, and a cold dagger was put on his neck.
The man covered his mouth. There was a glint in his eyes.
"Chirp...... Chirp ......"
ยท
No one knows what kind of pain and torture Zhang Xueyi experienced this night, the pain of the internal organs shifting, dying and alive, rolling on the bed and roaring, moaning and crying for the official.
"Official...... I want to see the official family......"
"Lord Hades, come and take my life......"
The palace lights brighten up the path.
Squeak! There was the sound of footsteps.
Zhang Xue also raised her head slowly, her eyes showing surprise.
"Official...... Home ......"
Her smile froze on her face.
In the bright light is Cao Yuqing's dignified and calm face, she is neatly dressed, her makeup is exquisite, and she has the momentum of an ordinary but not mediocre face that Zhang Xue also dislikes. Zhang Xue didn't know what it was called before, but at this moment she found out that the Jiangmen Tiger Girl trained by the nobles of Gaomen was different from her, and she was born to be a queen.
Zhang Xue also softened weakly.
Cao Yuzhen glanced at her paper-like face and frowned.
"How is Mrs. Zhang? Where is the Doctor, and why don't you wait in the temple? โ
Zhang Xueyi's tears came well.
Cao Yuzhen is eight years older than her, almost watching Zhang Xueyi grow up, it can be said that Cao Yuzhen knows her little temperament well, no need for Zhang Xue to say it, Cao Yuzhen also knows her disappointment when she sees herself and the urgency to see Zhao Zhen......
She's seen enough and doesn't want to see it.
After sitting down, he turned his head and listened to the three imperial doctors report their illness in fear.
When people can be saved, there are sayings. There are many sayings when people can't be saved.
At this time, the imperial doctor's mind was no longer thinking about how to pull the dying Zhang Xue back from the Ghost Gate, but how to retreat and pluck himself out, so as not to involve the death of the concubine in his family.
A imperial physician said: "Back to the sage, Zhang Niangzi is stubbornly ill, and the meridians have been blocked over time, the sea of blood is empty, and the medicine stone may be difficult to cure......"
The other nodded, glancing at his peers.
"But the concubine has a strange attack today."
Cao Yuqi listened, "How weird? โ
"The concubine is irritable, crying and laughing, and has delirium, delirium, and auditory hallucinations. Paroxysmal spasms may be seen in dilated pupil coma. The ministers have read all the classics, and they have never seen this kind of symptom......"
This imperial doctor only said that Zhang Xueyi's symptoms were insane seizures, or that he was in a ghost situation.
Cao Yuqi turned her head to look.
At this moment, Zhang Xue also curled up in a ball, as if she was suffering something, her brows were frowning, she had more air out and less air in, her dark blue mouth was like a dying fish, opening and closing slightly, her eyes widened and her pupils spread, and she occasionally twitched unconsciously, looking very mad.
Cao Yuzhen hesitated and sighed.
"How many days does the concubine have left?"
"Yichen waits, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight."
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said uncertainly.
Because before this, they had judged that Zhang Xue was about to die several times, who would have expected that after a while, she would still be able to open her eyes and cry, but she would never die when she was dying.
Cao Yuqing: "Did you inform the official family?" โ
"Understood." Meng Ning walked over, bowed her head and lowered her eyes very respectfully, "But the official family is in Xiangluan Pavilion, Zhou Niangzi's fetus is restless, and the official family may not be able to leave......"
"The emperor's heir matters." The corners of Cao Yuqing's lips pulled slightly, as if she had no feelings, and she didn't care who Zhao Zhen favored or not.
"You are all tired, go and rest outside the temple. I'm here to watch over her. โ
"Sage!?" Everyone looked at each other.
"Go ahead."
Zhang Xue also looked at the top of the tent with both eyes, tears flowing silently.
Everyone was waiting for her to die......
The official family did not come.
In this Huining Palace, not a single tear was shed for her.
But Cao Yuqi had to guard her to let her breath fall.
Zhang Xueyi's mouth twitched twice, as if she was laughing, and as if she had made some strange expression, and one hand slowly drooped down from the side of the bed, silently......
