257: Covering water (below)

The afterglow of the setting sun renders the Zhuliang paintings of the Jiaofang Hall into a golden color.

Zhang Yan came out of the hall, saw that the hall was lonely, and the people retreated cleanly, Liu Ying stood alone on the side of the palace steps, watching the sunset that was about to fall in the western sky. The sky is full of red glow, and there is a sense of intoxicating beauty, which will not be gone. Zhang Yan actually had an illusion, feeling that such a sunset was pressing on Liu Ying's shoulders, which was extremely heavy, and she seemed to have a feeling of being overwhelmed.

Liu Ying heard the footsteps of his wife behind him, smiled bitterly, and said,

"I gave her a good name that day, and I hope she will be fragrant for the rest of her life."

"I hope that she will be as her name and have a good life, so I will make more and more public opinion, and soon after she was born, I crowned her as the eldest princess, hoping that she will be safe and happy for the rest of her life, but now it seems that it is counterproductive, maybe because of the blessing too much, she can't bear it?"

or,

He turned his head and looked at his wife's youthful face.

She was as beautiful as a hibiscus, and it was the most beautiful dream of his young life, and he felt that he would not dare to touch it in his life. But Ah Yan has been by his side for a long time, and after all, he couldn't resist, afraid that this elf girl would disappear from his life from now on, so he resolutely reached out and kept her passing back, contrary to the original idea.

Now they have suffered a lot, and after all, the husband and wife are in harmony, and they thought that the rain would be clear, and the mountains and rivers would be good, but they encountered sharp twists and turns. And the beloved daughter was born deaf, whether it was because they still violated the will of heaven after all, which caused retribution. But they refuse to punish themselves directly, but should be innocent?

"Not really."

Zhang Yanxuan shouted, her voice extremely excited.

She didn't actually know any definite signs of the ominous thoughts in her husband's heart at this time, but she had a vague perception in her heart, and she didn't know how to stop it. So instinctively called his name, trying to pull his thoughts back.

“…… I don't want something like this to happen. ”

Tears fell in large droves, blurring vision.

Zhang Yan threw herself into her husband's arms, her shoulders trembled, her face was pale, she looked like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, overwhelmed, tears soaked Liu Ying's clothes, and his heart was sour. shouted "Ah Yan", stared at his nerves, and wanted to smile and hug his wife. wiped away her tears as countless times as in the past, but opened her mouth, and finally found that she could only be speechless.

As a mother, Zhang Yan suffered bad luck when her own children suffered. Nature is the saddest.

But what way can he comfort his mother, who is sad for her child?

At the end of the day, he's just as sad.

- In good things, they are two of the most sympathetic people in the world, and they can only lick their wounds in each other's hugs and comfort each other with warmth.

"Hold on." Zhang Yan's voice still had a few whimperes. But the man lifted up his head in the curtain of tears,

"I'm also very sad. If I could, I'd rather replace it. It's good and healthy. But that's not possible. There is no point in complaining and regretting, at this time, the most important thing is to be by our side and think about what we can do to help her.

"Yes." Liu Ying's face turned solemn,

"I think it's worse."

Wife's weeping words. finally pulled him out of his decadent thoughts and re-planned for his beloved daughter. is already destined to have a bumpy fate in his life. Since she is a human being, instead of being sad in vain, what she should do more is to try to think of ways to help her live a better life in the future.

Liu Ying quickly summoned the imperial doctor from the Tai Hospital to diagnose and treat the eldest princess of Fanyang.

In the Jiaofang Palace, the imperial doctors gathered next to the swaddling clothes of the eldest princess of Fanyang and took turns to consult the little princess. The brow furrowed into deep folds. The Imperial Physician Ling Gao said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have finished diagnosing the pulse of the eldest princess, and they need to have a consultation." ”

Liu Ying nodded.

The imperial physicians withdrew from the side hall and gathered in the ear room under the corridor to discuss for a while.

- Actually, there is nothing to discuss. Before being ordered by the emperor to come over for the diagnosis and treatment of the eldest princess of Fanyang, he vaguely heard about the princess's illness, and he had already made a conclusion in his heart: born deaf in this era, it was a chronic disease that could be cured by medicine and stone, and the disease of the eldest princess of Fanyang was brought from the mother's womb. It's just that the eldest princess of Fanyang is the beloved daughter of the county official and Queen Zhang, and she is even more favored, so she doesn't know how to say such a thing.

When the imperial physicians finally finished their meeting and re-entered the palace, Liu Ying asked, "What is the situation of the princess?" There was a hint of earnestness in his voice.

The Imperial Physician Ling Gao sighed in his heart, he had already passed the age of the ancients, and he had already reached the age when he should be a scholar, but his medical skills were superb and he was highly respected in the Imperial Physician's Department, so he was retained, and he only wanted to live in peace, but he didn't expect to encounter this situation today. Trembling and prostrating to the ground, he raised his head, his eyebrows and beard were already snow-white, "Your Majesty, the ministers have just consulted and discussed for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and Her Highness's ear disease is innate, not something that can be cured by medicinal stones." There is really nothing the ministers can do. ”

Liu Ying's eyes dimmed, and she asked softly, "So, what is the princess's condition?" ”

"His Highness Fanyang is not only suffering from ear diseases," Gao replied, "and his body is strong, no different from ordinary people. It's just ......" He had hidden worries in his heart, and he didn't know if he could say it, so he naturally showed a hesitant look on his face.

Liu Ying saw it, and said, "Imperial Doctor Gao, if the princess has any condition, please speak up." ”

"Nothing." Gao Guo smiled bitterly,

Thinking about things can't be hidden after all. Moreover, as a doctor, it is his responsibility to remind patients of their illnesses, so he made up his mind and resolutely said: "Chen grew up in the mountains and wilderness, and he has also seen some people who were born with ear disabilities. Almost all of these people who were born with a deaf ear disorder suffered from mute disease at the same time. ”

"What?"

Liu Ying Huoran stood up and couldn't help but lose her posture and shake her sleeves, "What Imperial Doctor Gao said is the truth?" ”

"Wechen doesn't dare to bully the king." Gao Shi's body shook, and he hurriedly bowed down again, touching his forehead on the ground in the hall, not daring to raise his head.

Liu Ying closed her eyes, and after a while, she heard his obscure voice again, "Is there a way to regulate?" ”

"Your Majesty."

Gao Guan was also a little sad in his heart. Speaking of which, the emperor who is now in power can be regarded as a rare good temper. Today's days in the Tai Hospital are much more stable than during the reign of the first emperors. Just like today, even if she is a beloved daughter, she didn't have a seizure when she heard such a weak reply from the hospital.

It was because he knew Liu Ying's heart that he dared to truthfully reveal the hidden dangers of the eldest princess of Fanyang. If the first emperor is replaced, I am afraid that he can only hide this matter and remain silent. At this moment, I saw the emperor's gaffe for his beloved daughter. sighed in his heart, but he really wanted to share his worries for the emperor, but unfortunately his medical skills were really shallow. On top of the illness of the eldest princess of Fanyang, there is nothing that can be done.

"Your Majesty's feelings for the sake of the eldest princess, the ministers and others all understand. After that, the ministers will specialize in ear diseases, in order to cure His Highness Fanyang. ”

It's just that he swallowed the words that didn't speak: he had been a doctor for so many years. I've never heard that being born deaf can be cured.

His words were weak, how could Liu Ying not hear them, and after a long time, he waved his hand weakly and said, "Qing and the others should stand down." ”

The temple was empty. The palace people looked at the emperor. Knowing that the emperor was in an extremely bad mood and didn't dare to stay to provoke the emperor's attention, they all retreated lightly. Liu Ying stayed alone in the Xuanshu Palace. Thinking of his eldest daughter.

Well, she has always loved to laugh, with a pair of phoenix eyes that are in the same vein as her father's lineage, and since she was born for half a year, she has been raised white and chubby, and she is very well-behaved. Up and down the palace, from the Empress Dowager Lu to the long maid of the Jiaofang Palace. They all like her very much. But he actually suffered from deafness. And he, as her Ah Weng, wants to help her, but he can't help her in the slightest.

How ironic.

The corners of Liu Ying's mouth revealed a bitter smile.

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he can decide the life and death of most people, but he has no way to free his daughter from her predicament.

is still so young, her life should be a splendid place, but before it unfolds, it is destined to be covered with a layer of gray, unable to hear the colorful voices of the world, and unable to speak.

Fortunately, in this life, she also has the identity of the eldest daughter of the emperor, her biological mother is the queen of the middle palace, she is the eldest princess, and she has a rich fief under her name, as well as a marquis title who can be a shadow.

…… With these, at least you can keep your life safe.

A pair of crimson lotus stripes stepped on the thick velvet carpet in the hall. There was a good babbling sound, and because he was impatient with the heat in the temple, he wrenched his arms out of the wrapped swaddling clothes, and a pair of arms waved extremely forcefully in the air. Zhang Yan re-wrapped her in the quilt, and as soon as her nose was sore, tears fell.

"Don't worry."

Liu Ying persuaded.

He took his wife's hand and looked into Zhang Yan's tearful eyes, "As long as I am here, in this life, I will never let me be treated slowly." The voice was steady.

This is the most humble thing he can do for his daughter as a father.

"You don't have to worry about it."

Zhang Yan broke away from his embrace and raised her delicate chin, "I don't believe it, my daughter can really only live in a silent world, and she will be ignorant all her life." The voice is stubborn.

She has a fiery beauty. There was a sneer on his lips, "If hearing is innate, I can't save it." I want to try again with God, I won't let the dumb characters have anything to do with her, I want her to learn to speak, I want her to read and write, I want her to be no different from a normal person except that she can't hear sounds. ”

It's not that it's not annoying. Because, when he said such things, it means that he is really a little discouraged about his good condition.

But it's not really resentful. Liu Ying is very good for being good. The people of the Han Dynasty did not have much in-depth research on natural deafness, and after listening to Taiyi Ling's previous statement, it was normal for him to have such thoughts.

However, she could not accept such a sight.

Hao Hao is her and Liu Ying's first child, her body, carrying too many ideals and expectations of herself and Liu Ying, if she can't be good, she thinks, from now on, she will not be able to be truly happy for the rest of her life.

Zhang Yan recalled her past life, many things have been gradually blurred in the passage of time, but she can still remember some: at that time, there were some children who were also born deaf, but through the care of their relatives and their own efforts, they learned to recognize the meaning of lip language, and used this as a medium to open communication channels with others, further speak and write, and get rid of the tragic fate of being in lifelong ignorance.

She hopes to be able to do so.

She hopes that after she has lost the colorful sound world, she will not suffer from the loss of the ability to speak, as well as the ability to understand words and books more deeply. She hopes to have a smooth perception of the outside world, instead of being unable to hear and speak, even if she has the status of the noble eldest princess in the world, she is still just an ignorant and poor person.

- I want my good smile to be proud and smug in the sun, instead of being estranged by the problem of natural ear power, so that I fall behind everyone else, gradually feel inferior and ashamed, and I can't really show my face in my life.
