XXXVIII. Heart disease
The bloody killing in the Han Palace has temporarily settled, and the Weishui River is full of red peach blossoms in the new year, ** faint, covering all the blood in the world.
"Try these lychee fruits, they are fresh and delicious," Lu Hou said with a smile.
Zhang Yan stretched out her hand and twisted a lychee, pinched the husk, revealing the milky white flesh, put it in her mouth and tasted it, bent her eyes and smiled, "It's really delicious!" ”
"Yes," Lu Yi also twisted a lychee and said with a smile,
"This is a new entry from South Vietnam." Compared with the figure of previous years, she has drawn a little longer, and today she is wearing her favorite yellow skirt and green skirt, which is delicate and pleasant.
"I heard that this fruit lost its umami after three days from the branch, so it was named 'Lizhi', and the king of Nanyue sent people to gallop all the way to Chang'an!"
Empress Lu instructed, "Pick up half a basket of lychees and send them to the East Palace, pack up the rest, leave a plate, and let Ah Yan take the rest back to the Hou Mansion for Princess Yuan to taste." ”
The palace man curtsied and replied, "No." ”
Lu Yi blinked, got up and said with a smile, "Grandmother, those palace people are stupid, why don't I go to the East Palace to deliver the lychee fruit, and then go out of the palace with Sister Ayan and send it to Aunt Lu Yuan." ”
Zhang Yan bypassed the wine pool, and saw the palace maid Xianxing beside Dong Hu walking in the corridor of His Highness with a cloud-patterned double-eared wide-mouthed round belly warming pot from a distance, and the warming pot was filled with a faint smell of medicinal soup.
"What's the matter, isn't the crown princess happy?"
Xian Xing looked up and saw that it was Zhang Yan, and hurriedly bent his knees, "Mrs. Zhang is fine." The crown princess has some heart palpitations these days, and the imperial physician prescribed a decoction, and the slave maid was ordered to go to the dining room to retrieve it and wait for the princess to take it. ”
Zhang Yan sighed, "I see! ”
She ascended to the East Palace and entered the inner hall where the crown princess lived from the pearl curtain held up by the palace people, "Auntie, look, who came to see you?" ”
After the Xishi Huansha painting screen in the hall, Dong Hu Huoran turned around, and when he saw her, his face lit up, and he called out happily, "Ah Yan." ”
She frowned and took small sips of the taupe decoction.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Zhang Yan asked, "I haven't heard that you used to have heart palpitations." ”
Dong Hu's face turned pale in an instant, and with a "snap", he threw the medicine bowl on the lacquer plate, grabbed Zhang Yan and called, "Ah Yan," and his fingertips turned a little white, and he trembled.
"You know what? The Marquis of Huaiyin was poked to death by a bamboo stick. I heard that after death, the corpse was dragged out, and the eyes were bleeding, but they were still open and round. ”
"Huh?" Zhang Yan shouted in surprise,
The murder of Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, also heard about it outside the palace. Because of the memories of his previous life, he also knows something, so he doesn't feel so frightened. It's just that Han Xintian, a generation of war gods, was heroic, and in the end it ended so dismally, which was really a trick.
Dong Hu Liuye frowned slightly, looked at her expression, and asked, "Ah Yan, why aren't you afraid at all?" ”
"Crown Princess," Xianglian came in with a vermilion lacquer moire lacquer plate and said with a smile, "Lu Wuniang sent this plate of lychees on the order of the queen's mother. ”
"Take it," Dong Hu waved his hand violently, his eyebrows full of disgust, "I don't want what she sent." The lacquer plate fell to the ground with a clatter, and the bright and round lychee fruits rolled all over the ground.
Zhang Yan exclaimed, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" ”
Dong Hu hugged his elbow and looked at her face, seeing that she looked timid, her eyes were pure and good, and after half a sound, Fang exhaled and looked comforted. "It's that I'm thinking too much. You're only a seven or eight-year-old child, how can a child know so much? ”
Thinking of the scene that day, there was a look of horror and disgust in his eyes, "Yi Niang is just a ten-year-old child, she can be so old and spicy, so ruthless." ”
"That day," she said of the scene in the palace that day, "the hundred officials entered the palace to congratulate, and I also said hello to the queen mother in the Great Xia Palace, when the road was made, the Marquis of Huaiyin was waiting outside the Great Xia Palace, and Aunt Su Mo came to invite him, saying that the queen received the ministers in the bell room, and waited for the Marquis of Huaiyin, and the Marquis of Huaiyin would be suspicious. ”
She smiled so cleanly and frankly that I didn't see anything wrong. The Marquis of Huaiyin probably didn't believe that such a young girl could cheat, so he finally followed. ”
"I was about to leave, but suddenly it occurred to me that I had something to ask the queen mother. I went to the bell room to find my mother. When I got to the outside of the bell, I saw three palace eunuchs dragging out the body of the Marquis of Huaiyin. There are blood holes all over his body, and even his eyes are poked into a big hole, gurgling with blood, but he still has his eyes open, and he can't look at it. I screamed in fright and passed out. ”
Zhang Yan closed her eyes.
Dong Hu, what kind of life do you want?
If you just want a peaceful and joyful life, you shouldn't marry into Changle Palace at all.
Dong Hu didn't know what she was thinking, and said freely,
Yi Niang, she just knew that the queen was going to kill the Marquis of Huaiyin, or she could pretend that she didn't know anything, and smiled so cleanly and sweetly, like a child who didn't understand anything. God knows, she's only ten years old, and what was I doing when I was ten years old? I shudder every time I think of her smiling like that in front of me. ”
"But they said that the Marquis of Huaiyin wanted to rebel." Zhang Yan opened her mouth and said, she tilted her head, innocent, "If the Marquis of Huaiyin wants to rebel, it will definitely hurt my grandmother and uncle, I can't control the rest, I just want my grandmother and uncle to be well." ”
Dong Hu was stunned, her long eyelashes blinked, "Well," she repeated faintly, "as long as the prince is well." ”
The calming effect of the decoction attacked, Dong Hu lay on the couch and slept peacefully, Zhang Yan glanced at her beautiful but pale face, stepped out of the East Palace, and saw Lu Yi wandering under the palace steps.
However, after a moment of separation, Lu Yi was still wearing a yellow and green dress, bright and bright like an innocent butterfly wearing flowers. The skirt is still the green skirt of Shicai, but the upper shirt has been changed, and the one embroidered with cloud patterns is Shicai, but now it is green flowers and leaves, reflecting the dark and smart apricot eyes on the clear melon seed face, looking up and smiling, **Brilliant, fresh and refreshing, "Is the princess feeling better?" ”
"It's better, don't do physical things," Zhang Yan said meaningfully, "It's a heart disease." ”
Lu Yi sat on the Zhu Lunhua cover car, and Zhang Yan walked out of Changle Palace from Xique, arrived at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion in Shangguanli, dedicated the lychee to Lu Yuan, and passed a few words of the queen's words, advancing and retreating appropriately, and the demeanor was just right, until he entered Zhang Yan's Mingyue Garden, Fang sank his face and refused to smile anymore, "The princess told you, right?" ”
She stubbornly looked sideways at the piano table in the room, "Do you think I'm scary like her?" "There was already a light of fresh water in his eyes.
Zhang Yan lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes blinked, like a butterfly, "You always say everything for others." I don't care what you do, it is a fact that the Marquis of Huaiyin wants to rebel, you have helped Grandma, whether you like it or not, as a son and nephew, I can only thank you. ”
Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, suddenly cried out, and complained, "Which one was born to hurt people?" At that time, the Marquis of Huaiyin refused to go over, I didn't come out, who told him to go over? Crown Princess? I'm scared too, and I don't have to pretend I don't know anything. She watched the excitement cleanly, but in turn blamed me. ”
She rested her head on her knees, crying aggrieved and hoarse.
Zhang Yan sighed and handed her a handkerchief.
Lu Yi snatched it, wiped it on his cheek, and continued to cry loudly.
This cry lasted for most of the quarter of an hour.
Lu Yi gradually stopped crying, washed his face with the hot soup that he had brought to relieve his worries, covered his face with a wrung out handkerchief, and refused to speak.
Zhang Yan ordered to relieve her worries and took the spirit emblem ointment, and said with a smile, "This is the plaster given to me by the prince's uncle, it is said that it is the most effective way to remove bruising and swelling, you can put some on your eyes." ”
Lu Yi took the ointment and said vaguely, "Thank you." "Nasal, deep.
The Linghui ointment is really effective, she applied it for only a quarter of an hour, took a self-portrait in the mirror, and the redness and swelling around her eyes disappeared a lot, and she couldn't see it if she didn't look carefully.
It was getting late, Lu Yi came out of the Mingyue Garden, boarded the palace car back to the palace, and a string of wind lanterns hung under the eaves of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and floated, casting a halo of yellow firelight, shining on her cheeks, half light and half dark. At the last moment when the curtain was hidden, Lu Yi shouted, "Ah Yan." ”
"I've decided not to hate you for a while!"
Zhang Yan, who was standing in front of the door to see him off, almost bit her tongue in an instant, and watched the palace car go along the street in front of Shangguan, laughing dumbly, remembering the stomping and shouting "I hate you the most!" "The girl.
What a twisted child.
