Chapter 26: Deafness
Because Luo Tong was pregnant, she was afraid that she would work hard, and she was afraid that the weather would be too hot to affect her, so now there is nothing important for her to raise the baby in her palace with peace of mind, Gong Nan sat on one side and checked the account book carefully, and I fell on the other side boringly grinding ink, and suddenly the slave who was guarding the door came to report, "Meet the emperor, the people around the queen mother are here." As soon as I heard this, my spirit trembled, and I stood respectfully in an instant, Gong Nandui looked at me, a little helpless, a little distressed, frowned slightly, and her voice was a little cold, "Let her in." "Yes." When he went out, a little palace maid walked in reluctantly, and I saw that it was still the palace maid from last time, "The slave maid meets the emperor." "What's the matter?" "On the order of the Queen Mother, the slave maid came to give Miss Chi Wan four books for women, and the Queen Mother ordered Miss Chi Wan to help copy it down and get it the day after tomorrow." Looking at the thick dozen books, my heart trembled, but I quickly grabbed in front of Gong Nan's words and said respectfully, "The slave obeys the order, and it will be completed well." Gong Nan glanced at me and ordered, "Submit it, you stand down." ”
I glanced at the books a few times and smiled helplessly, "What did you promise to do, I'll order someone to copy it." "If you are bored, you should practice calligraphy, and by the way, look at these female virtues." He scoffed, "Whatever you want, don't copy if you're tired." I smiled and nodded, today is about to have dinner, the Queen Mother will want it early in the morning the day after tomorrow, so many books are obviously difficult to copy in one day, but if this can vent her anger, I don't think there is anything, it can be regarded as a burden for Gong Nandui, "Why are you so hot, are you uncomfortable?" I was writing seriously, and I was suddenly frightened, and my spiritual strokes were torn off, "What are you doing?" It's all written wrong. Without thinking about it, I blurted out with a little complaint, "Oh, I just suddenly saw you sweating so much and I thought something was wrong with you." He said slowly and wiped my sweat for me, I was stunned for a moment, he touched my forehead uneasily, and asked softly after confirming that it was okay, "Why are you hot here?" "I, I may have copied it in a hurry." He then ordered, "Come here, and wait for the fan." Then he leaned over and said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, if you can't finish copying, I'll copy it for you." "You? Our handwriting is different, you still want to fool the Queen Mother. "I don't think I want to return," to me. He snatched the pen from my hand at once, and went on writing, and I was amazed to see that the line was so similar to mine, that it seemed to be written by a man without careful inquiry. He looked back at me with a smile, and I tilted my head to look at him inquiringly.
"After so many years of your absence, I have long imitated your handwriting." He said lightly, but my heart throbbed and froze there, and then I quickly leaned over and gently pecked the brush in his hand in the face and said, "I'll do it anyway." After a while, he reacted and happily hugged my waist, I laughed and pushed him, and when I was fighting, the slave at the door came in to report, it turned out that it was Feng Yiyin, Feng Guifei wanted to ask to see, Gong Nandui was instantly disturbed, and said patiently, "Let her go back, tell her what happened last time, I don't care." "I just wanted to open my mouth to persuade and immediately stopped, I have my own life, I can't force myself, why do I have to force Gong Nan to be thoughtful. But he didn't want Feng Yiyin to break in so willfully, "The concubine visits the emperor." As soon as she came in, she fell down on her knees.
"You are guilty of trespassing here." Gong Nandui suppressed his anger and asked calmly, he has always been like this, even if he doesn't like these people anymore, he will keep his face and respect, even if he is angry, he will first hide himself, "The concubine should die, and the concubine is guilty." Feng Yiyin said without arguing, Gong Nan didn't speak with a cold face, she continued to speak, "Your Majesty, you haven't been to see a concubine for a long time, even if the concubine did something wrong last time, then you haven't given me a chance to explain." Gong Nan Twilight still didn't speak, Feng Yiyin raised his head and stubbornly looked at Gong Nan Twilight and waited for him to look at her, I looked at Feng Yi Yin's slightly red eyes and remembered that I hadn't seen her for a long time, and I didn't see many times in total, the first time was in the palace and I saw her side from a distance Gong Nan Twilight seemed to be very happy and a little shy and a girl, the second time was when I first became a wife in the palace, and the third time was on the night of the scuffle, I haven't seen anyone else since I entered the palace.
She has always been not glamorous or squeamish, and her face is even a little atmospheric, I think if it weren't for this palace, maybe she would have lived a happier life, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and I didn't want to be mixed with it anymore, looking at such a situation, "I'll go out for a walk first, you can talk." I leaned closer to Gong Nandui and whispered, "No. He said firmly and grabbed my hand, then turned his face to Feng Yiyin and ordered, "You go down first, I'll go to see you when I'm free." I wanted to avoid embarrassment, but I didn't want to irritate her even more, "What are you pretending to be high in the evening, knowing that the emperor can't canonize you, but still relying here to pretend to be innocent, pestering him, making him embarrassed everywhere, and even the queen mother is stiff, you are innocent, pitiful, empathetic, others are aggressive and ruthless wicked people, what kind of heart do you have?" Feng Yiyin sneered at the point, "You shut up." Gong Nandui suddenly got up and roared angrily, and the tea cup also fell in front of Feng Yiyin. The two of us were stunned at the same time, "Come on." "Gong Nandu." Hearing his command, I blurted out in a hurry to stop him,
is afraid that he will be angry and punish Feng Yiyin, and the matter will be big, and the Queen Mother will have a handle in her hand again. Hearing my eager shout, he quickly stopped and looked at me, I took a deep breath and looked at Feng Yiyin, she was still in shock and did not come back to her senses, but this time it was me who looked at me, I slowly spoke: "What you said is not wrong at all, this disaster is indeed me who makes everyone aggressive, the relationship is not harmonious, but the feelings are uncontrollable, just like you do to the emperor, you said that I don't pretend to be high and play a good role in the middle, it's hard to understand that I should add fuel to the fire to be considered not pretending to be innocent and kind?" "If you were really good for everyone, you should have followed the Queen Mother's arrangement and found a good family to marry." Listening to her understatement, I endured the anger in my heart and said quietly, "It's you, do you marry casually, I also have the right to choose, why should I be sent away casually because I shouldn't be liked." "You, Your Majesty, look at her true face, selfish and hypocritical, do you deserve to like such a person?" Suppressed her anger she asked, "It's worth it." Gong Nanwan spoke firmly, I turned my face to look at him, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, with appreciation and a little doting. The concubine was disturbed, and the concubine retired. Feng Yiyin tried his best to hold back the tears that were about to fall and hurriedly left. Watching her leave, I sighed a little reluctantly.....
After Luotong became pregnant, her appetite doubled, and she slept a lot more than usual. Afraid of disturbing her rest, this day deliberately after a long time has passed since the nap time, Gong Nan and I came to see her, as soon as I entered the house, I didn't expect everyone to be here, there has never been a moment when people are so complete, "The concubine sees the emperor." All the people saluted in unison. Feng Yiyin just glanced at us lightly and lowered his eyes, the first snow and they were still as mature as before, but they were all a lot more mature. "I haven't seen Miss Chiwan for many years, but she's getting more and more beautiful." Chu Xue said enchantingly. I nodded slightly and smiled silently, "Why are you here so much today?" Seeing this, Gong Nandui asked. The queen mother has a great happy event of pregnancy, and the concubines all come to see the mother and be happy by the way. It also opened branches and leaves for the emperor. Chu Xue said with a happy face, and a sentence that made everyone smile, "You have a heart." Gong Nandui said sincerely, and continued to turn his head and ask Xiang Luotong, "Have you been feeling unwell lately, have you slept well at night?" ”
"I can sleep better than I did before I was pregnant, and I have to sleep well during the day for a long time until I can sleep at night, but now I get up several times at night." "Ah, these reactions have been there so early." I asked in surprise, Luotong sneered, and just as I was about to reply, I heard Chu Xue's yin and yang sneer, "It's like the girl was pregnant with a child, so clear?" After finishing speaking, Gong Nandui looked at the past coldly, and Chu Xue had to explain slowly: "The concubine just said a few words to her, the emperor." I smiled faintly and said, "I usually read a few more books when I'm bored, which is also some common sense." "Okay, everyone brought some delicious food today, why don't we all try it together?" Rakuki proposed, "Okay, okay." Everyone chimed in,
"Your Majesty, please try that rose crisp is made by the concubine herself, it is sweet and crispy, soft and not greasy, you have a good taste today." Shi Yingran said softly, Gong Nanwan smiled and said, "Then I will take two more bites in the face of the queen." "Your Majesty, then don't forget to leave some for your cousin, don't eat them all." Chu Xuejiao sneered, "Flutter" I couldn't hold back my laughter and even let everyone giggle. In such a harmonious atmosphere, a slender voice pulled over, "The Queen Mother has arrived", and then her figure rushed in quickly, and before she took over, she heard a crisp and loud slap, Luo Tong and Gong Nandui didn't react to the stuck, their faces were hot and feverish, but they didn't feel much pain, but their eyes were a little dizzy and they couldn't see clearly, and their ears were buzzing, "The Queen Mother is angry." It seemed to be everyone's voice, but it sounded hazy, as if it was far away, I shook my head uncomfortably, and my body still remained the same as when I fell, holding one hand on the ground and one hand covering my cheek.
"Chi Wan, Chi Wan are you okay?" Gong Nandui trembled and helped me up, my ears were ringing so badly that I couldn't even hear Gong Nandui's words clearly, seeing that I didn't react, Luo Tong also called my name anxiously, and suddenly I could hear a sound and then gradually disappeared. "Someone, open your mouth for me, no one is allowed to stop without my orders." "Queen Mother, you are angry, and she has done nothing wrong sooner or later." It seemed to be a loud and slightly angry voice from Luotong, "Didn't you do anything wrong?" Do I become deaf and blind when I'm not around? The pain in my ears began to dizzy, "Soon, soon, later" Gong Nan shook my body anxiously, and his buzzing voice was in his ears. In the end, he simply picked me up and rushed out of the door, as if the Queen Mother shouted something behind him, his body shook and left without stopping.
When I returned to the dormitory, the imperial doctor rushed over, and after the buffer along the way, I was relieved, but the left ear was completely inaudible at this time, "Back to the emperor's words, the cold girl's left ear clip was severely injured, and the eardrum of the ear caused a perforation and injured the nerve, if the hearing is still not recovered after two or three days, I am afraid that I will be deaf." The Imperial Physician replied with a trembling bend. Boom. Gong Nanwan angrily kicked down the wooden bench on the side and shouted loudly, "I want all the imperial doctors in your hospital to give me a way to cure her with the best medicine." "Your Majesty, the old minister will do his best, but the girl is afraid that she will hurt her nerves" The imperial doctor was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, and when he saw that he was still angry, he immediately reached out and grabbed his hand, he looked back at me sitting on the bed, clenching his fists tightly, extremely forbearing. You all go out, I'll be alone and quiet, and don't let anyone disturb me. I whispered,
After the imperial doctor left, Nan Du slowly squatted down, took my two hands, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you." I lowered my head and clasped my fingers and asked slowly, "Why did the Queen Mother suddenly lose her temper, I had a dizziness and tinnitus just now, and I couldn't hear what she said." He was stunned and didn't seem to know how to answer, "It's okay, it's already like this." "She's the one who knows what you call me by my name." So that's the case, I laughed at myself and stopped talking, Gong Nandui hugged me tightly in fear, and muttered in distress: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I will never let you be hurt again in the future, it's all my fault, it's my fault." I was moved for a while, touched his face, and whispered: "Don't apologize, it's not your fault, my head is uncomfortable, I want to sleep for a while, you can be busy with you first." "I'm not going, I'm going to be here with you." "I can't sleep when you're here, so let's go if it's okay." I urged, he had no choice but to agree to leave, lying on the bed I turned my back on my face and couldn't hold back my tears, and what I didn't know was that at the moment when Gong Nandui turned around and left, the tears that had been held back for a long time rolled down, dripping on my hands and burning in my heart.
At night, in Feng Yiyin's bedroom, Gong Nan stared at her coldly, "I know that the emperor will definitely come, so I have been waiting here." "I warned you last time, I thought you were going to change. Looks like I'm overestimating you. "Hehehe" Feng Yiyin stood in place and smiled sadly, and then said firmly, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't do it, and I didn't tell the Queen Mother that it has nothing to do with me." "Nothing to do with you? Who else knows but you and has heard her call my name. "Do you think I'm so stupid that I'll do it after the first thing?" Gong Nandui looked at her and didn't answer, Feng Yiyin continued to be neither humble nor arrogant, "I am also the daughter of a general, I disdain to use despicable means, dare not do it." "And how do you explain this today?" The extremely cold voice made Feng Yiyin more sober, she was dull for a moment, recalled the scene of the day, she really never went to the Queen Mother to say anything, and she didn't tell anyone, but she suddenly said slowly, "I haven't mentioned it to anyone, it's just that when I came out that day, I was too sad and couldn't help but sigh to the personal maid, it must have been listened to at that time." Gong Nandui eased her face a little and prepared to leave,
"Your Majesty, why don't you ever look at me much, compared to the queen, am I so bad in your eyes?" Feng Yiyin asked anxiously, Gong Nandui turned around and looked at her without speaking, "Your Majesty, you know, on the night of the rebel rebellion, the emperor had long been suspicious of you, not only to arrest the rebel thief, but also to kill you, it was me, it was me who threatened my father with death to save you, in fact, there is no loss to me if you die, I will be dismissed and return, but I will marry again, but I am reluctant to let you die, I told my father that you must save you, if the emperor has no heirs, if he kills the prince, there will be no one to succeed to the throne in the future, if there is a rebel again, At that time, it will be another bloody storm, and the people will still suffer, if the prince ascends the throne, I will be the queen, and I can ensure the long-term glory of the family.
But the first emperor decided that you had a bad intention, why did he insist on killing you, and he was forced to have no choice but to live for you, for the sake of the future peace and security of the country, so that the first emperor induced the old disease, and he was already in poor health, and he really couldn't hold on later, we took this opportunity to let the first emperor make you the new emperor, but who would have thought of it? You only have the queen in your heart, hehe, you canonized her as the queen at the first time, but it doesn't matter that I don't care about the queen's position, that's just a rhetoric to persuade my father, I want to spend the rest of my time with you so calmly, although you love the queen, I can accept it, but I really didn't expect you to stay cold and late, not only pampered her, but also loved her so hard, but it was like being so infatuated with me. Gong Nandui listened to Feng Yiyin's words and words, as if a knife was slashed on his heart, it turned out that the imperial brother arranged it like this, he always thought that the secret decree passed on by the imperial brother at that time told him that he would plan it, but he didn't expect that after using it, he really wanted his own life. He didn't expect that the person in front of him had done so much for himself, and even did not hesitate to murder the emperor and save his own life. His breathing was a little stagnant, "I see, thank you, really thank you for everything you did for me and even saved my life, but I can't control my feelings to fall in love with her, I can't repay you the same sincerity and can't deceive you, I can only promise you and your family peace for a lifetime." Gong Nanwan endured the pain in her heart and said sincerely and firmly, and stepped forward to give her a warm hug. He had been walking for a long time that night, but Feng Yiyin still stood in place and maintained the posture of being gently embraced by him, with a desperate relief on his face.
Twilight fell again, the room was dark, I lay lazily on the bed and didn't turn on the lamp, "Late, don't you want to see me?" Gong Nandui's voice sounded at the door again, and I slowly opened my eyes without answering, "You have locked yourself up for a day and a night, and you don't see Luo Tong and Mo Yi when you don't see me, I'm really anxious about you like this." Gong Nandui slapped the door again, and I had to say helplessly, "I just want to be quiet." There was silence outside the door, my left ear was deaf, so I couldn't hear any movement that wasn't particularly big, I thought Gong Nandui was leaving like this, but after a while, I heard him babble, "It's okay, you don't want to see me, then I'll stay with you here, and wait until you want to see me." It's me who I'm sorry for you, your ears, don't worry, I won't give up at any time, I've sent someone to the people to find a famous doctor for you,
You have to trust me to heal your ears. After another period of silence, Gong Nanwan began to babble again, "Chi Wan, tell you something ridiculous, so that you will be in a better mood after listening to it?" After saying that, he deliberately stopped there and did not continue to speak, I turned my face curiously to look out of the door, only to see his reflection sitting on the door looked decadent and embarrassed, and waited for a long time before I opened his mouth to ask him, he sighed heavily and said, "Since you don't ask, then I will take the initiative to tell you." "You know, I used to rely on my royal brother a lot, he is much older than me, people say that the eldest brother is like a father, I also think so, but I didn't expect that in the end he can easily abandon me I don't believe me, he is convinced that I betrayed him and wants to kill me. Ridiculous, you say? I stared at the back differently and frowned, it turned out that the emperor not only wanted to kill me, but also his own brother, in the end, I still affected him. I exhaled lightly.
"The person I trust and love the most wants to kill me, in fact, I'm not so sad anymore, but I just feel that there is a vacancy in my heart, and it seems that I can't fill it." Gong Nandu's tone was not heavy at all, and he said it half-sarcastically and half-seriously, but I knew that the unspeakable sadness was the saddest, and no one could empathize with this pain. I looked at the black back in distress and got up and walked softly towards the door, "Chi Wan, since I knew that the imperial brother had murderous intentions towards me, I can better understand your feelings towards that person at the beginning, it really makes people feel distressed and admire you." I was stunned by this sentence, and sat down in the doorway, where he was back to back across the door. At least it's true that the emperor once loved you, and he may have been very sad when he made this decision, he had no choice but to make this decision. At the end of the day, it's all because of me, I'm sorry. I said lightly, and he suddenly got up in surprise,
found that the door was still closed, and sat down slowly, "Don't sit directly on the ground, it's cool at night, you were injured earlier, take care of yourself." "You're really long-winded." I pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "I'll be long-winded, I just hope you can stay with me for the rest of your life." Go get a mat and put it on," I didn't answer, but obediently put on a thick cushion silently, "How about Luotong, she's okay." "Don't worry, she's fine, it's just that the tire was unstable that day, and then she was fine." I nodded silently only to realize that he couldn't see it and hummed again, "You can blame me for being angry at me, but don't hold back." "Forget it, how dare I, if it is passed to the Queen Mother, my other ear will have to be abolished, oh no, not only the ear, but also my life will have to be abolished." I said flattened, and he giggled, "Don't worry, there will never be anything like this again." "Yo, I hope you do what you say."
"I've wronged you, and I've already killed those who talked." I looked back at him abruptly, but in the end I could only squeeze out a few words: "Good job." At this time, Gong Nandui turned back unexpectedly, "I thought you would be surprised, and ask for mercy again." "No." I resolutely returned, and he chuckled and quipped, "I just like your unpretentious character." "You said that they can't control their mouths sooner or later, it will be this fate, in case one day the news leaks out and pokes out a big basket, it will be too late, now execute and kill a hundred people, and in the future, these people in the palace will have a strict mouth." "You're a good ruler." Gong Nan admired Chi Wan from the bottom of her heart, "I'll go to the Queen Mother tomorrow." Gong Nandui straightened her back nervously and asked, "What are you doing there, you don't have to wronged yourself." "How can I be wronged to myself, it's not a way to go on like this, the emperor and the queen mother are always easy to criticize, if the ministers of the previous dynasty know that they shouldn't write to say that the emperor is not filial, then the crime will be big." "But the queen mother's handling is really excessive, or I will go with you." "No, I can do it myself." Seeing that I was so determined, Gong Nandui had no choice but to agree.
At noon the next day, when they were in the palace to ask for peace to leave, I passed, walked into the dormitory, and respectfully stepped forward to salute, "See the Queen Mother." "How dare you be here?" "I'm here to talk to the Queen Mother." She snorted coldly and said contemptuously, "Talk? A daughter of a criminal is still qualified to talk about it here? I knelt on the ground and raised my head to look at her without humility or arrogance, and said, "Queen Mother, it is impossible for me to leave the palace or execute me at present, maybe the emperor will be tired in the future, and you will still have a chance." She suddenly changed her face and squinted at me, "Come on, palm, the emperor is not here today." "Who dares." I turned my face to look over and said, "Queen Mother, because of me, it is my fault that you and the emperor have fallen into such a stalemate several times, I'm sorry." Without waiting for her to exit, I continued, "But although the current situation is not intentional for me, but I really want to be by his side, the Queen Mother is not happy to be angry with me, I can accept small things, but now at this point, is the Queen Mother really what you want to see?" The emperor and you continue to gamble and stalemate sooner or later will be transmitted to the previous dynasty, the emperor will be criticized for unfilial piety, the minister is turbulent, I don't think you want to see it, you rushed over to beat me that day, I actually have no complaints, you are anxious that the consequences will be unimaginable to the previous dynasty, why doesn't the emperor understand this?
He's just annoyed that you hit too hard, and he doesn't really blame you. "Hehehehehe." She laughed eerily as she sat on it, and a thin layer of sweat immediately covered my back, "There is a solution, as long as you die, these problems will no longer exist." She opened her mouth, and I laughed angrily, "The new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, the court is not yet secure, you have to kill me at this time to provoke the emperor is not happy, can you be happy?" Of course, this is secondary, if the emperor makes any moves, it is used by the previous dynasty to say that someone will oppose it, this is not what you want to see, the queen mother. "Threaten me?" With her anger, the teacup shattered to the ground, "This is not my intention, I just want to be by the emperor's side quietly, and I hope we will all take a step back for the emperor's sake." The people in the seat didn't answer immediately, but looked at me repeatedly, and I looked back sincerely and waited for her answer. After a long time, she smiled and said coldly, "I hope it can be as you wish." "Empress Dowager Xie, the slave will retreat first." The Queen Mother still looked at Leng Chiwan with a smile and walked out, gradually solidifying the smile on her face, and her eyes burst with gloomy cruelty.
When I came out of the dormitory door, I let out a deep breath. "I thought you didn't know how to be afraid." Hearing the voice, I looked at Gong Nandui and looked at me with a smile, "Why are you here?" He had already walked over and grabbed my hand, "I'm sweating so much, it's cool." "Did you hear it all?" I asked in surprise, he only smiled and didn't speak, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disrespect your queen mother for threatening her." "Hahaha" "You're stupid, are you funny?" I looked at him puzzled, "I don't know who you are?" I don't need to explain, I just think you're pretty good, and it's good to have the courage and brain. I rolled my eyes weakly and said, "I can't let you, my own son, threaten my own mother." He suddenly held me in his arms, and his voice was slightly heavy, "I will bear any hardships with you in the future, and I will also prevent the queen mother from doing things that hurt you." This embrace made me feel stable and steady, and I rubbed my head in his arms and nodded vigorously.
