Chapter 106: Ninefold Peony
"The girl wants a nine-fold peony? I'm really sorry, recently on the birthday of the noble concubine, almost all the nine-fold peonies in the capital were sent to the palace. The shopkeeper smiled apologetically at Yu Yu.
What do you do with medicinal herbs for your birthday? Yu Wu was puzzled in her heart, but she still didn't give up and asked: "Is there no one to use as a medicinal material?" ”
"No, the girl doesn't know, this noble concubine loves nine-fold peony, not only for ornamentation, but also for spices, and at this time of year, all the nine-fold peony is in the palace."
"I see, it's troublesome." Yu Yu sighed and waved her hand in abrupt terms, this is already the tenth pharmacy she has found, and all she got is a unified statement, which seems to be true.
But when it came to being in the palace, Yu Yu touched the sign given to her by Twilight Mountain View.
East Palace Special Order.
Thinking of the way he hurried back today, Yu Wu didn't want to trouble him, so she put away the wooden sign after hesitating, turned around and walked towards the house.
If she could use her divine power freely, it would be easy to heal Xie Lingze's eyes, but now Yu Yu felt a little anxious now, standing in front of the door, Yu Yu took a deep breath and pushed the door in.
After entering, Yu Yu did not go back to the room directly, but turned around and went to Xie Lingze's room.
"Knock" "Knock"
After she knocked lightly on the door twice, Xie Lingze's voice floated from inside, "Miss Yu?" ”
"Hmm."
"Please come in, the door is unlocked."
Yu pushed the door in, there was no light in the room, before she came in, Xie Lingze was the only one in the room, he sat at the table by the window, and the bronze mirror reflected his eyes that were bound by white silk.
"I'm sorry I couldn't come out to meet you." His voice was soft, with a bleak bitterness.
"It's okay." Yu Wu shook her head, walked in front of him gently, and subconsciously stretched out her hand, and her fingertips stopped when she was about to touch the white silk in front of him.
Xie Lingze seemed to notice her movements, tentatively raised his hand, paused when he touched her soft fingertips in front of him, and then curled up his fingers again.
The change came too suddenly, no one expected this kind of thing to happen, and it seemed that Xie Lingze himself was the calmest.
"I'm fine." He whispered.
Yu Yu sighed and put down her hand, her eyes full of guilt, "I'm sorry, if only I hadn't left the city." ”
"I don't blame you, it was my own negligence to be calculated by her." Xie Lingze looked at her with those invisible eyes, "What she said. Don't take it to heart, it's what I did, and I should be responsible for it. ”
"You don't have to take everything on yourself, a single factor can't piece together a complete thing, your eyes, there is indeed a part of my fault, this matter, I should share it with you, you have already suffered the consequences, just leave the rest to me." Yu Yu said seriously, her expression was very upright, "You believe me, I will cure your eyes." ”
Xie Lingze was stunned for a long time, and then nodded slowly after a long time.
At this moment, in the palace city, the palace city at night stands majestically between heaven and earth, and it is the most dazzling pearl of the night.
In the palace, the prestige of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is naturally known to everyone, whether it is the indifference and ruthlessness of several ministers this time, or the cleanliness when executing the offenders, there is the momentum of His Majesty the Emperor when he was young, if someone in the palace sees it, no one will believe that the Dusk Mountain View in front of Yu Wu and the prince in the palace are the same person.
Twilight Shanjing glanced at the sky, his indifferent expression was a little impatient, and he couldn't hear the beating and encouragement of those old ministers, he felt bored.
"Your Highness, do you still want to leave the palace?" The bodyguard beside him asked.
Twilight Mountain Jing hesitated for a moment and sighed, "No, let's go to the concubine." ”
After all, tomorrow is her birthday, but at the same time. The day of his sister's death.
He frowned quietly, his eyes showing a little tiredness.
The moon is bright at this time of year, but there is no snow this year.
Twilight Mountain View looked at the palace road in front of it, walked all the way from here, turned right in front of the third unicorn statue, passed through the small garden, and walked a distance further, and arrived at the 'cold palace' where they once stayed.
It was the original dormitory of the concubine, and although he was young when the door was locked, he already knew what it meant and knew what it meant, so when he took his ignorant sister and looked at the tearful face of the concubine, he didn't say anything, but took the initiative to take on everything.
However, the ten-year-old boy took off his identity as a prince, chopping wood, boiling water and cooking, and facing the ridicule and difficulties of the once discordant prince alone, and once fell from the clouds into the quagmire.
When I looked at the moon alone at night and cried, I also felt that at least my mother and sister were there.
The young sister became more and more weak in the cold palace with little food and clothing, and at first he could secretly get a few pairs of medicines from the hands of the eldest prince, but later the eldest prince was confined by the queen, and his sister's condition became more and more serious.
The mother's attention was almost entirely on her sister, and sometimes she didn't even notice the wounds on his body.
But even so, my sister's life is still passing little by little, and the mother concubine tried all her methods, but she didn't get a look from the emperor.
Until today that year, when the twilight mountain scene got up, he found that there was a snow outside, he caught the falling snowflakes, and happily wanted to call his sister to come out to see the snow, but he closed his mouth again without making a sound, and braved the wind and snow to boil hot water.
As soon as he reached the firewood room, he heard the cry of the concubine who was almost broken, and he turned around to see the concubine rushing out with her sister in her arms and barefoot, and banging on the locked vermilion door with all her might.
"Give us some medicine, Nishiki is also the blood of the royal family, please, save her-"
Twilight Mountain Jing had never seen her mother look so embarrassed, she couldn't open the door with her hand, so she hit her head vigorously, and the red blood flowed down her forehead, staining the snow red.
"Ahh
Heart-rending cries echoed in the lonely palace, and the thin sister was dead in her arms.
On that day, the emperor came at night.
After the emperor left the next day, the mother concubine hugged him and was stunned for a long time, after that night, the big lock in front of the door was finally opened, although he was still grounded, but someone took care of him, and finally the imperial doctor stepped into the vermilion gate, and the guards outside the door were finally not stone statues.
Later, Dusk Shanjing learned that the emperor had received the news that day, but he was stumped by the harem lady on the grounds of the birthday banquet, and he didn't come until the evening.
"I was just trying to teach her a lesson."
No matter how long it took, Twilight still felt disgusted when he remembered his words.
