Chapter 389: Nightmare (Two Shifts in One for a Monthly Pass)
Speaking of which, that was more than a decade ago.
Over time, many memories will be fogged, sometimes clear and sometimes hazy, and occasionally when I think about it, I will wonder which ones are true and which ones are mixed.
But for Emperor Chang's concubine, that matter was a bit chaotic from the beginning.
She often thinks and reads, but she has not lost her impression because of the passage of time, what it was and what it is still like.
She was Li Yi's side concubine at that time, and Li Yi and his wife took the young imperial grandson Li Shao and the entourage to the temple to pray for blessings, and she stayed in Beijing to take charge of the affairs of the palace.
When the news of the accident at Dingguo Temple came back, the sky was just dawning.
Everyone was stunned.
The six princes led their guards down the mountain to rescue, and the princess and Mrs. Chengyi died in the fire.
The capital was already about to come due to Emperor Taixing's illness and the princes' open and secret fighting, and the changes in Dingguo Temple were like a burst of thunder, splitting the illusion that it was originally peaceful.
She hurriedly entered the palace and met the Queen Mother, who was still the queen at the time, and also met Lin Yunyan, who was by Niangniang's side at that time.
The little child, only one and a half years old, was held by his mother, and his big bright eyes were full of uneasiness.
Lin Yunyan was too young at the time, she didn't know what a fire was or what a death was, and she had no idea of life and death, but she just felt the grief and anxiety of the adults, and shrank in her mother's arms blankly.
Even if the children don't understand, they won't talk about the murderous things in front of the young children.
Niangniang took the candy to Lin Yunyan and asked Mama Ma to take her away, and then her eyes were red at Chang's.
The news came one after another, and the bandits, the town, the manpower, and the rescue all made up the accident little by little.
Emperor Taixing was already ill, and his condition was aggravated by a sudden disaster.
Li Cang, who was acting as the superintendent, was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and everyone tensed the strings.
That night, Li Shao was sent back.
Li Yi did not return to Beijing, he still stayed in Dingguo Temple, and investigated with Chengyi Bo, who rushed over.
The thieves must be investigated, the fire in the temple must be investigated, the fire is burned beyond recognition, and the victims must be dealt with one by one......
Li Shao was frightened and needed to go back to Beijing to settle down and recuperate.
The responsibility of taking care of Li Shao naturally fell on Chang's shoulders.
Several waves of people in the palace asked Li Shao for questions, Li Shao was frightened and anxious, he didn't know what to ask, he cried when he asked too much, and he couldn't ask anymore.
At the age of four, he was lucky to be rescued from the fire by Mrs. Bo, can he still point to him and say the truth?
After the mother agreed, Chang took Li Shao back to the prince's mansion.
I am afraid that I have returned to a familiar place, and all I see are familiar people, and after Li Shao's whole person relaxed, his forehead burned hot.
The Imperial Physician almost stayed in the Prince's Mansion, waiting at any time.
Chang's is even more undressed, hands-on, and careful so that others can't find any fault.
At that time, Chang's idea was also very simple.
The princess is a very kind person, and she used to treat her kindly and thoughtfully, but now that she is gone, she will leave such a child, and she will do her best.
Besides, Li Shao was entrusted to her, and she had to take good care of the child before she could make a good deal.
She is not a black heart, and she will not get along with a child who lost her mother at the age of four.
There's no need for that.
She is also a decent person, she doesn't do unseemly things.
Fortunately, Li Shao only had a fever at night, and he was comfortable during the day, and he was not in much condition.
Chang didn't dare to be careless, and accompanied him day and night.
When Li Shao was in better spirits, she tried to ask two questions, but when she saw that Li Shao shook her head and couldn't answer, she just did it.
Because almost all of the grandmothers who served Li Shao went to the temple with them, it is not suitable to add new people now, and Chang is really tired.
After Li Shao fell asleep at night, she took a nap while half-lying.
Half-asleep and half-awake, she heard Li Shao calling for help, and her voice was very small.
"Help Me ......"
"It's on fire! It's on fire!"
"I didn't mean to......"
Chang's eyes widened and he turned his head to look at Li Shao.
Li Shao turned from sobbing to crying, shouting "help" again and again, Chang Shi woke up completely, hugged him and coaxed him softly.
She even deliberately asked, "What wasn't intentional?"
Li Shao didn't give her an answer until she cried and fell asleep, and there was no more such sentence.
When he woke up the next day, Li Shao couldn't remember the dream.
After that, when he finally stopped having a fever in the middle of the night, the night at Dingguoji Temple also disappeared from his memory.
When Li Yi returned to Beijing, he saw that he was healthy, but he didn't remember anything, and he didn't force it.
Such a young child, a bad experience, forget it......
Chang did not forget.
She also thought that she might have misheard it in her sleep, but for three nights, she seemed to hear it when she was napping.
But she was the only one who heard it.
Chang Shi recalled the past and looked depressed.
After a long time, she sorted out her thoughts, picked what she could say, and briefly said a few words to Lin Yunyan.
Lin Yunyan frowned when she heard this: "Niangniang, are you sure you heard it correctly at that time?"
"Who knows...... Imperial Concubine smiled, "It may or may not have heard it, His Highness himself has forgotten, who else can I ask for an answer?"
Lin Yunyan asked again, "Does the Holy One know?"
"No," the Imperial Concubine shook her head, "Can I tell you 'it may be like this', 'It may be like that', can I say those two words to the Holy One?"
Lin Yunyan understood what the imperial concubine meant, and said, "Then you tell me, can you get the answer from me?"
"County Lord, the answer is not important to me," the imperial concubine looked at Lin Yunyan deeply, "The answer is meaningful to you, as a daughter, you will chase after people who have dealings with your mother in the past, you are the one who wants to know what happened in Dingguo Temple the most."
"What you're saying," Lin Yunyan bowed, "I want to know."
The imperial concubine smiled again.
After staying in the palace for a long time, she has seen a lot of twists and turns, and she herself can't help herself, so she likes honest people very much.
"His Royal Highness was still young that year, and he didn't mean to be such a young child", so what could he blame him? It's not so much to blame him, it's better to blame the eunuchs and grandmothers around him," the imperial concubine said, "But now that he has grown up, I feel uncomfortable looking at what he has done in the past two years."
Lin Yunyan thought about it, her voice was very soft, but her tone was firm: "But it has nothing to do with you, his character has not changed, and when he really recovers, it will be me and Xu Jian who will be embarrassed, Niangniang, you are willing to wade into this troubled water, it is you who are generous." You don't have to express your bias in the first place......
The imperial concubine sighed lightly.
How persistent is she?
Her so-called bias is, in the final analysis, a smooth and peaceful.
used to want Li Shao to be the prince steadily, the more stable Li Shao is, the more other people who have a heart should rest, and she can also worry less.
It's just that Li Shao is obviously a stable person.
The saint favored him and couldn't let him go, the imperial concubine remembered the friendship that took care of him in the past, and she also protected it, but when she looked at it recently, no matter how much she protected it, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to fall into a good place.
She never asked Li Shao to treat her like a mother, she was not, let alone for the sake of nurturing, on the surface, she was enough to be kind.
In the end of her life, she is an imperial concubine and an imperial concubine, and if Li Shao continues to toss like this, such a future may disappear together.
The imperial concubine said: "If Your Highness can reform and distinguish between right and wrong, I am very happy to see it happen, live up to the favor of the Holy Lord, and do not waste your brains racking your brains to 'offend' him. I'm afraid that he won't be able to figure it out, and he will blindly drill the horns of the bull, and the saint will be sad about it, and you will be even more difficult. Further......
She paused and looked at Lin Yunyan gently.
The child who was uneasy and frightened in Niangniang's arms has grown up, and her facial features have taken on the appearance of her mother.
"One
It's just a life." She said.
Lin Yunyan didn't understand this sentence.
The imperial concubine did not give any more superfluous explanations.
Seeing that she really didn't mean to explain it, Lin Yunyan was no longer reluctant.
If you can't dig it out, blindly chasing and asking will only backfire.
After thinking about it, she said, "Since you never told the Holy God about those words in your dreams, we won't talk about them now."
The imperial concubine smiled and nodded.
The two said a few more words, and Lin Yunyan got up and said goodbye.
The imperial concubine called her: "Come on the first day of the Lunar New Year, how can you not give a red seal gift."
With that, the imperial concubine got up, went to the inner hall by herself, found a golden hairpin, and handed it to Lin Yunyan with a smile.
"I can't be so playful at my age," she said, touching her face, "It's best for you to play with it at your young age."
Lin Yunyan thanked herself for the reward, and then left Cuihua Palace.
Mama sent someone away, and when she returned inside, she saw the imperial concubine sitting on the couch and being distracted.
"You ......" Mama hesitated again and again, thinking of the inside story of the conversation between the two before, and her heart was very worried.
The imperial concubine raised her eyes and asked, "Mama thinks I shouldn't have that mouth?"
Mama sneered, blushing and said, "It's all already said."
"I don't know why," the Imperial Concubine turned her head and sighed, "Can you still not know?"
Mama was stunned for a moment, and also sighed.
She knew it.
The imperial concubine was only twelve years old when she first entered the palace to ask for peace.
My father returned to Beijing to report on his work, and because of his outstanding political achievements, he was praised by the first emperor, and even she was called to the palace by her mother because of her knowledge of entering Beijing.
Everything is fresh, but I don't dare to look at anything in detail.
Even if she is already so cautious, she, an official girl from the "countryside", will inadvertently offend people.
She was called by a little maid to the garden pool, and was suddenly pushed into the water.
She doesn't know water, her whole person sinks, and she can't even call for help, not to mention that there is not even a figure nearby.
Almost in despair, she finally heard the anxious cries for help from someone on the shore.
Soon a mother-in-law came and she was rescued.
She looked at the person who was concerned about the inquiry, and recognized the identity of the other party - Shen Yun, the niece of the maiden family who was raised by her mother's side.
Shen Yun followed her when she saw her being called away and felt weird, and happened to meet her in an accident.
Shen Yun took her back to her residence, gave her clean clothes, and asked her to pack up again.
Niangniang heard the news, she didn't know anyone, and Shen Yun only saw a back, saying that she would check, but she knew that it was difficult to have an answer.
It is a blessing to be rescued.
Before leaving, she came to the gate of the palace again to return all her clothes to Shen Yun.
Shen Yun heard the news and told her softly that it was Princess Ruiyang who pushed the person, and the palace maid did her best to take the matter, and the matter was settled.
She was surprised.
She did meet Princess Ruiyang that day, but she still didn't understand why she offended people.
The punishment was not on the princess's head, but she was also grateful that the person who did it could be caught.
In the end, Shen Yun took all the clothes back, leaving only a handkerchief for her.
"I embroidered it myself, which is considered an acquaintance."
She took it, never used it, and kept it carefully.
brought it into the capital from the place, from her mother's house to Qianfu, and then to the palace, until she gave the handkerchief to Lin Yunyan a while ago.
At that time, he just wanted to return the things to their original owners.
What she thinks about today is, as she herself said, the grace of saving her life, and she also wants to repay it.
Even if her ability is limited, it is better than Shen Yun's daughter asking her about it, and she still sits idly by.
Seeing that the imperial concubine was pondering, Mama was afraid that her heart was too heavy, and said, "The slave and maid look at the county lord, and the more she looks at it, the more she looks like Mrs. Bo."
"Yes," the Imperial Concubine smiled, "Daughter."
It's normal to be like a mother."
My father returned to Beijing to report on his work, and because of his outstanding political achievements, he was praised by the first emperor, and even she was called to the palace by her mother because of her knowledge of entering Beijing.
Everything is new, but I don't dare to look at anything closely....
Even if she is already so cautious, she, an official girl from the "countryside", will inadvertently offend people.
She was called by a little maid to the garden pool, and was suddenly pushed into the water.
She doesn't know water, her whole person sinks, and she can't even call for help, not to mention that there is not even a figure nearby.

"Yes," the Imperial Concubine smiled, "How normal it is for a daughter to be like a mother."
