Chapter 108: Under Anger
Liu Yi, who was hiding in the study, got a report from the palace people, so he fled in fear.
He ran to the garden of the Aran Palace, where at the foot of the wall was the dog hole he had dug not long ago in order to sneak out and play.
The guards searched the entire Yalan Palace, but they didn't find Liu Yi. Liu Heng burned his anger on Queen Chen, "Look at the son you taught! Leaving this sentence hatefully, he left the Yalan Palace. But the task of searching for Liu Yi did not stop, but expanded to the entire palace.
After Liu Heng left, Queen Chen immediately got up and went to the study, where she was met in a panic.
"Where's Yi'er?" Queen Chen asked.
In a panic, Yu'er couldn't explain clearly, so he took Queen Chen to the corner of the garden, where Liu Yi went out.
Queen Chen immediately said to Yu'er: "Tell everyone, go to Yi'er too." After finding it, tell him to hide it first, and then come out when the king's anger is gone. ”
Yu'er nodded and went to do it immediately.
Queen Chen was still not at ease, so she went to the study, cut off the sleeve of her dress with a knife, and wrote on it.
She hoped that her father would come forward to resolve this crisis, and this letter was addressed to her father. After writing it, I ordered someone to send it out, but I was still uneasy. Thinking of Liu Yi enduring the cold and possibly starving, and thinking of his future fate, Queen Chen couldn't help but burst into tears......
Liu Yi fled to the Imperial Garden, where there was a large place and many hiding places.
While escaping, he accidentally fell, and his face was covered with cold snow. He felt all kinds of grievances, but he felt that Liu Heng was too ruthless. Suddenly, he heard the sound of someone talking, and he was so frightened that he immediately got up and got into the flowers.
The two palace people walked by while talking, only to hear them say: "His Royal Highness the Prince is in trouble this time, it's a big ......" "How do you think the king will punish him?" "I think I'm going to be claustrophobic forever......" "It's really cool......"
Liu Heng is not afraid of beating and scolding, but what he is most afraid of is claustrophobia. He once fell into a dry well because he was playful and was trapped in it for half a day. Therefore, he is especially afraid of dark and narrow places. When I heard the word claustrophobic, I was scared and shivered.
Hiding in the flowers for half an hour, Liu Yi was hungry and cold. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he crawled out of the flowers, trying to sneak into some palace to find something to eat, and he knew that the last thing in the palace was something to eat.
Mrs. Cen left Youlan Palace, took another maid Liuyun, and went to Yalan Palace to see Queen Chen and see how depressed Queen Chen was at this time.
She left Hanlian to Dou Yifang, after all, the maids in Dou Yifang's room were all locked up, and it would be impossible to take care of them without someone around them.
As she passed by the Breeze Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, she saw a small figure wandering in a particularly sneaky manner. When I looked closely, it was Liu Yi who was hiding.
She walked up quietly, Liu Yi didn't notice her, and went headlong into the Qingfeng Pavilion.
Liu Yi found some steamed buns on the offering table in the Qingfeng Pavilion, although it was already cold, it was better than nothing. He stuffed the steamed buns into his clothes, looked at the plate of chicken, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He didn't touch the chicken in the end because he didn't want people to know that he had been there, and besides, the weather was so cold, the chicken should not be able to bite it!!
It is not advisable to stay for a long time, Liu Yi, who took the steamed buns, turned around and left, he thought that he acted neatly and was not discovered, and he didn't want to leave Qingfeng Pavilion not long after, he bumped into Mrs. Cen.
The big eyes looked at Mrs. Cen with trepidation, and there were all kinds of worries in her heart. saw that Mrs. Cen showed him a kind smile.
Just then, a pair of guards patrolled by, "See Madame." ”
"Everyone's worked hard......"
"Madame has seen her deceased son?"
Mrs. Cen shook her head.
The guards thanked them and continued their patrol.
Seeing the guards walking away, Liu Yi climbed down from the tree and came to Mrs. Cen to bow and thank him, at this time, his steamed bun fell out of his arms.
Mrs. Cen squatted down and picked it up, and the cold steamed buns were as hard as stones.
The cold wind was blowing, and the Zichen Palace was even more deserted.
Zichen Palace is the ancestral hall of the Dai Palace, and in the center of the main hall, there is a portrait of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang.
Madame Cen brought Liu Yi here, and usually, palace people were only on duty here in the morning and evening. And usually, it is the deaf and dumb old palace people who take care of it.
Liu Yi was eating, a hot meal. He was so moved that tears flowed down his eyes. With a kind smile on her face, Mrs. Cen wiped the tears from his face with a handkerchief, and said gently, "Eat slowly, no one here will come back to look for you." When you're full, I'll take you back to Youlan Palace. ”
Liu Yi knew that Dou Yifang lived in the Chunyan Pavilion of Youlan Palace, and he had visited with Queen Chen. Hearing Mrs. Cen say this, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move.
Mrs. Cen covered her mouth and smiled, explaining, "Don't worry, I'm not going to hand you over to Mrs. Dou. Instead, take you back to the Autumn Tea Pavilion, think about it, the most dangerous place is the safest place, your father must not have imagined it, you will hide in Youlan Palace. ”
Liu Yi's eyes showed gratitude, he got up and bowed respectfully, "Thank you......"
The afternoon sun is shining, the snow has melted a little, and the road has become muddy and slippery, at this time, it is necessary for the palace people to come out and clean it. Especially after Mrs. Dou wrestled and gave birth, the palace people did not dare to slack off and cleaned very seriously.
After Liu Yi finished lunch, Mrs. Chen sent her maid Liuyun out to check on the situation. Without waiting for Liuyun to come back, Mrs. Cen took Liu Yi and left first. They walked on a secluded trail, this trail, Liu Yi had never come.
"Is this the way to the Orchid Palace?" Liu Yi asked.
"Of course, the other roads are all people who are looking for you, and this is the right way to avoid them."
Liu Yi had no doubts.
In a few moments, the path under their feet was blocked by a pool of water. The water was frozen, and a blinding light reflected in the eyes. Liu Yi narrowed his eyes and looked up at Mrs. Cen.
Mrs. Cen smiled and said, "Walk over from here, Liuyun will meet you at the other end!" ”
"Can you really walk through?" Liu Yi asked timidly.
Mrs. Cen squatted down, her eyes level with Liu Yi. She combed Liu Yi's somewhat messy hair, and said softly: "You can walk over, just be careful that the ice surface is slippery." Yi'er is a manly husband, don't you have any courage? ”
Liu Yi's gaze became extremely resolute, and he nodded heavily.
Mrs. Cen smiled slightly, "Go!" ”
Liu Yi walked to the edge of the pool, cautiously stepped out of his right foot, probed it, could stand, and walked up with his left foot. Standing on the ice, there is no problem. Two more steps forward, and there were no problems. His confidence immediately increased, and he turned back and smiled at Mrs. Cen.
Mrs. Cen also smiled and nodded to encourage him.
Liu Yi became bold and continued to walk forward, only nine steps later, the thin ice surface cracked, and he fell into the icy water.
He fluttered, trying to get up, but the ice cracked more and more completely. He cast a distressed look at Mrs. Cen on the shore, and what he saw was indeed Mrs. Cen cold face.
After a while, Liu Yi was frozen into shock and sank to the bottom of the pool. Mrs. Cen still stood and watched, looking coldly, knowing that the pool surface had returned to calm and the sun was still dazzling.
Youlan Palace, Chunyan Pavilion.
"Master, let's eat something......"
"I don't have an appetite, let's go!!"
"Yifang ......"
"I'll let you take it!"
Dou Yifang said angrily, with tears in his eyes. When Han Lian saw her like this, her heart was also sad, her nose was sore, and her tears were about to overflow again.
She held back her tears and persuaded again: "Eat something, and your body will recover quickly." As he spoke, the spoon scooped up some soup, blew it cold and fed it to Dou Yifang's lips, but he didn't want Dou Yifang to suddenly raise his hand and knock over the spoon and the soup bowl together. Some of the soup was spilled on her, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered. Han Lian endured the heat splashed by the soup, and silently squatted down to clean up. She could understand Dou Yifang's mood, so she didn't blame it at all.
At this time, Liu Heng walked in, and Liu Heng ordered her to withdraw first.
Dou Yifang lowered his head, clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, and wept silently. She bit her lip, not wanting the cry to come out.
Liu Heng sat beside her and stretched out his hand to take her into his arms. She couldn't control it anymore, and cried out loud, crying so loudly that she was crying and compassionate. Even Liu Heng couldn't help but be moved, his eyes were wet.
How much she values this child and wants this child. She had tried her best to protect this child, but who would have thought that this child would easily end her life that she had not yet started in this way. She was so unwilling, really unwilling. She would rather not even be able to keep herself, even if this premature child does not live long, she wants him to see the first ray of light in this world.
The matter of Dou Yifang's miscarriage had long been spread in the palace, but it was not openly rumored, but said it privately. On the surface, no one dares to say this. The concubines who learned of this were overjoyed and devastated. Liu Yi did a really good job, it was like killing two birds with one stone. One by one the most powerful women in the harem, one is the most favored by the king is a woman, and now both of them are suffering from it, it is really perfect.
When Wei Muyu learned about this, she was so surprised that she couldn't believe it. After repeatedly confirming with the palace maid, she smiled from ear to ear. Unexpectedly, she racked her brains and failed to fulfill her wish in every possible way, Liu Yi helped her solve it with a snowball, and this matter had nothing to do with her.
"Someone, sedan chair!" How could she miss it and admire Dou Yifang's heartbroken appearance?
Under Liu Heng's comfort, Dou Yifang, who was tired of crying, fell asleep. In just half a day, this poor man became so haggard, like a lonely withered grass in the cold wind.
Liu Heng caressed Dou Yifang's face lovingly, and he felt Dou Yifang's grief. It's gone, but it's the child of the woman he loves the most. He was looking forward to this child, and he had already thought of a name!! He regretted not being able to use it.
Han Lian quietly walked in and informed Liu Heng that Yuliang was here. Liu Heng got up, walked out of the boudoir, and came to the lobby.
"The concubine body is ...... the king"
"No, you've come just in time, and this king has something to deal with. Yifang is your good friend, and when she wakes up after a while, you comfort her and persuade her to eat. ”
"The concubine understands."
Liu Heng sighed again and left. On this day, he sighed a lot more than he had in the past.
Wei Muyu entered the boudoir and came to the bedside. Dou Yifang's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes. She frowned from time to time, looking very pained. When Wei Muyu saw it, she was moved with compassion. She thought before that her love for Dou Yifang had been exhausted.
Maybe it was a nightmare, Dou Yifang suddenly woke up with a panicked look. Wei Muyu immediately sat down beside her, held her hand, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
