Chapter 20: Life and Death?
Cold dew, the season of late autumn, after a few autumn rains, the weather is gradually desolate, not only in the morning and in the middle of the night, but also at noon there is also a cold wind, Xiaoying Zhang Luo went to Changqiu to supervise the thick clothes.
All kinds of oil-paper umbrellas are always at the entrance of each hall and hall in case of intermittent rain, and the days are like rain dripping from oil-paper umbrellas.
These days are sunny, the fog is thick and long, pressed to the top of the palace, the lower head can barely see the road clearly, the palace people on the palace road gradually increased, Xiaoying brought a bunch of colorful prayer flags back, put them in the window, Chu Nianqing sat in front of the mahogany table in the window, one by one embroidered these blank prayer flags with unfamiliar names.
Since Wei Zhuzhu came back alone that night, it was like a national funeral in the imperial city, with white hanging everywhere, and there were masters chanting scriptures and praying from morning to night.
Yu Tian's dam collapsed.
Yu Tian those days, out of nowhere to attract thousands of ants, the dam builder had no idea, so he went to Chu Siyun to ask for instructions, who knew that Chu Siyun was holding two beautiful women like flowers and jade to play with the wine pond meat forest, Chu Siyun saw that people came to disturb him, impatient tight, after insulting a few words, told the craftsman to only care about the completion of the dam as soon as possible, he wanted to return to Beijing earlier, the craftsman got the order, so he had to not care about those ants, who knew that these days really responded to an old saying:
A thousand miles of embankment, destroyed in an anthill.
The dam collapsed, the flood swept like a ferocious beast, destroying all the houses, almost turning Yu Tian into an ocean, all the craftsmen who were on the dam at that time were all spared, but these craftsmen were originally sinners sentenced to death, so they died in the flood and no one cared, the prayer flags and prayers in the imperial city were for those officials who did not see people alive or dead in the flood, oh and, to Chu Siyun.
Chu Nianqing kept embroidering in her hands, and after each pair of embroidery, she silently recited the name on the prayer flag several times, still thinking in her heart that her dear Fifth Emperor Brother didn't know when she would come back.
Just thinking about it, the little warbler suddenly rushed in.
"Princess! Princess, go and see it! The Five Princes are back! He...... His leg is gone...... It was carried back ......."
The more Xiao Ying said this, the more she lost her courage, and when she finished speaking, she almost fell to the ground.
Normal, Xiao Ying has always been kind-hearted, even if she usually says bad things about Chu Siyun in secret, she also hates other people in Yihua Palace, but she wants to take revenge on Chu Siyun, she just hopes that he will step on a banana peel when he goes out, instead of becoming a cripple.
It's a pity, this is just what she thinks after all, Chu Nianqing doesn't think so, Chu Nianqing only thinks that Chu Siyun is really lucky, he can actually come back......
Chu Nianqing was stunned, then the corners of his eyes turned red, his expression was in a hurry, and he immediately got up and rushed to Yihua Palace with his dress.
The front of Yihua Palace was crowded with people, there were hundreds of people, concubines, palace maids, internal attendants, and even several foreign men, all of whom looked into Yihua Palace, dressed in all kinds of clothes, making people look dazzled, but the atmosphere was terrifyingly silent, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly, giving people a great sense of oppression.
Through the gap at the height of the palace gate, Chu Nianqing saw Emperor Chu sitting on a red-headed phoenix chair above the main hall of Yihua Palace, with a cloud-like anger on his face, he stood on one side of the crying Guo Shufei in the dark, and on one side stood Chu Sinan with a low face, on the side of the main hall, there was a snow festival that shook the fan comfortably, and there was a person sitting opposite the snow festival, with a good appearance, wearing an emperor Shi Qing robe, and the side could see a little bit of silver light, and the inside was wearing a baked silver lining, without extra patterns, This person is very noble and deep, and he can even compare with Emperor Chu on the limelight.
But this person Chu Nianqing has never seen before.
Chu Nianqing settled down and was about to line up everyone to go inside, but just at the end of the crowded crowd, he was suddenly grabbed by a white hand.
"Nianqing, what are you going to do?"
Chu Nianqing was startled, but quickly regained her composure.
"Brother Yunyin......"
Yan Yunyin looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he hurriedly led Chu Nianqing to a small palace road that was rarely visited.
"Chu Siyun came back, but he was seriously injured, he was not conscious, and he was dying when Yu Tian found him, there were too few doctors there, so he had to send him back to the capital quickly, so that Fu Tusu could try to cure it, and it was fortunate to be able to pick up a life, at this time, Yihua Palace was very chaotic, and a bunch of people came to the Guo family's in-laws, all of whom were looking for trouble, and they were very troublesome, and they were just fine, mainly because I don't know what other troubles there were, did you see, the Snow Festival Boy came again, on his other side, It's the son of Xuanxi who has been in charge of affairs in Nanjiang, as long as he is a son, there is no fuel-efficient lamp! What's more, the Snow Festival and the Xuanjian have been grudges for many years, and now they go around to their eyes, which is no different from death, listen to my brother, don't go in. ”
It turned out that the person was Lu Xuanqing, no wonder he dared to wear such conspicuous clothes, Chu Nianqing secretly thought about it, it was indeed Lu Xuanxuan who came back early, after all, Yu Tian was in Nanjiang, and Lu Xuanxuan was in charge of Nanjiang as the son of the outcast, and the fifth prince had a mistake in Nanjiang, and he, the son of Nanjiang, would naturally return early, thinking so, he suddenly felt sorry for the Snow Festival this time, and teamed up to deal with Chu Siyun.
Yan Yunyin was still talking about something, in the end, it was all words to persuade Chu Nianqing not to make trouble, and he said it very clearly, for fear that Chu Nianqing would not realize how dangerous it was, but unfortunately Chu Nianqing just asked eagerly after he finished speaking:
"Brother Yunyin, I heard Xiaoying say that the Fifth Emperor Brother's leg is broken? True...... Really......"
"I heard that, but I didn't see it with my own eyes, I just listened to the generals who guarded the imperial city, Chu Siyun's clothes were rotten when he was sent back, and he happened to see that the part of his legs was empty, and it was estimated that it was washed on the stone by the flood and broke alive......"
"How...... How could this be......" Chu Nianqing bit her lip and lowered her head.
Yan Yunyin gently hugged Chu Nianqing, and muttered endlessly: "Nianqing, don't be afraid." ”
Of course Chu Nianqing is not afraid, to be honest, he still feels a little light! It's just that at this time, he has to be delicate and desolate, obediently staying in Yan Yunyin's arms and waiting for news, after all, as Yan Yunyin said: Fu Tusu is still busy with Chu Siyun's injury, and even Emperor Chu was driven outside the door of the palace, even if he goes in at this time, he can only cause trouble, and it is not worth it.
Chu Nianqing stayed in Yan Yunyin's arms for a while, and suddenly there was a voice in the palace road, Chu Nianqing came out of Yan Yunyin's arms, and the two hid on the side of the road together to avoid the passing imperial doctor.
The leader of the imperial doctor came over and saluted and left quickly, even Chu Nianqing didn't hear what he said, but this is not important, the important thing is that after the imperial doctor ran over, a group of palace people in yellow clothes appeared on the avenue, carrying a sedan chair with a golden phoenix head and rushing straight to Yihua Palace.
Chu Nianqing recognized this sedan chair, this is the queen's guard of honor, but it is really rare, even the queen's two "pure people" who don't hear anything outside the window have come to catch up with the excitement.
After the queen, there were several princes' teams, the second prince, Chu Jinyi, Chu Beiyue, and even the eighth prince Chu Yanming, whose biological mother was still in the ten-year festival, came, and Yihua Palace was so lively for the first time.
Chu Nianqing quietly went to look around, the sickly queen who had always been white smeared with some rouge that really looked awkward, and bowed to Emperor Chu stiffly, and Emperor Chu was not in the mood to fight with her at this time, just responded to the sentence "no courtesy" and lowered his head without saying a word, and then the princes knew more about their eyes, and when they saw the queen like this, they no longer squeaked, only closed their mouths, bowed to Emperor Chu without making a sound, and then exempted themselves from courtesy, and sat down in the empty seat behind the snow festival and Lu Xuan.
Everyone is waiting quietly, Emperor Chu, the queen, the prince, relatives, palace people, Chu Nianqing is also waiting calmly to see, how superb Fu Tusu's medical skills must be to save Chu Siyun who was injured like this? A bunch of imperial doctors came here just now, and some of them Chu Nianqing didn't recognize it, I'm afraid that even the doctors outside the palace could pull it.
After about a moment, Yan Yunyin was really not good to stand outside Yihua Palace anymore, his personal servant quietly came over and whispered a few words in Yan Yunyin's ear, Yan Yunyin's face was full of embarrassment, but he had to tell Chu Nianqing: He has to go in.
Chu Nianqing nodded, although he liked Yan Yunyin's unique sense of security, but at this time, it hurt him instead of relying on him, and besides, if Yan Yunyin had been standing here, it would be inconvenient for him to snoop at any time.
Yan Yunyin straightened his clothes and left, Chu Nianqing watched him walk to the palace gate, and when everyone in the way saw that it was the arrival of the floating king, they hurriedly gave way, and the huge team suddenly cracked, vacating a one-line wide road, Yan Yunyin entered from this, if the behavior of the princes was the same, he also saluted without saying a word, and then went up to the vacant seat without courtesy, staring at the movement of the palace.
Chu Nianqing sighed, at this time, she was just silently thinking in her heart that her thoughts came true, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that she didn't know whether she wanted Chu Siyun to die or live.
Chu Siyun's actions are indeed excessive, but he has broken his leg, and he is completely disqualified to compete with his brother, and if he survives, I am afraid that it will be more painful than death, not only that, but his great injury is estimated to be a hard drag on Yihua Palace, Guo Shufei has no intention of causing trouble, not to mention, it will also implicate the sixth emperor brother Chu Sinan a lot, Chu Sinan is a smart person, he has always been honest and honest to do practical things, and has won the trust of Emperor Chu, according to the current situation, he is Brother A's biggest opponent, Chu Nianqing knew that according to his current ability, it was impossible to fight with Chu Sinan and help his brother, but if Chu Siyun didn't die and affected Chu Sinan, wouldn't it be a chance for Brother to crush him at this time?
Thinking about it, Chu Nianqing smiled again and smiled bitterly.
I think like this, who knows if God thinks like this? After all, Chu Siyun's life and death are not decided by himself, and it is in vain to think about it.
Chu Nianqing softened his body and asked himself to lean against the palace wall on one side, thinking that he would be relaxed for a while, but at this moment, a cold and slender hand touched his neck, Chu Nianqing suddenly stood up like an electric shock, and his breathing became short.
The person behind him chuckled very familiarly, followed by an even more familiar whisper in his ear:
"Little princess, what do you think...... Is he damned or alive? ”
