"Hey!" Chen Shen pushed the door and walked in, "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor looked so bad that it was impossible to guess what it meant: "Send him home." ”

Hearing this, Chen Shen hurriedly responded, stepped forward to bow to Xu Jincheng, took Pei Muyao's hand, and said, "Lord, the slave will send you back to the palace." ”

Pei Muyao let out a casual 'um' and followed him out.

Xu Jincheng's eyes followed Pei Muyao's figure worriedly, and after watching him leave, he closed his eyes slightly, waiting for the door to be closed again before turning around.

She knew the emperor had something to say.

The emperor looked at her with a slight hesitation, "Little Orange, you ......"

He stepped forward to hold her hand, but Xu Jincheng silently took a step back and cut off his words: "Your Majesty, the concubine is tired." ”

The two of them were only a step apart, but in the middle was like an endless ocean, she lowered her eyes for a moment, raised her lips and hooked a faint smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.

"The concubine still remembers when Yu'er and Yaoyao left, the sun was shining brightly in those two days, and they came to the palace early in the morning to call the queen mother well, but when I saw them again, they were already unrecognizable, if they grew up safe and sound, maybe someone would support Yao'er, and I didn't have to endure the pain of separation between mother and son to send him out of the palace, causing our mother and son to separate."

"When I sent him out of the palace, he took my hand and looked up and asked me when I would be back, I looked at his small body but couldn't answer anything, I could only tell him to go back to the palace when I missed the queen mother, he looked into my eyes as if he knew everything, and nodded after a long time."

Xu Jincheng's hand hanging down to his side trembled, and his eyes with tears raised: "Pei Yu, do you remember why we sent him out of the palace." ”

Pei Muyao was born in the year of the changeable situation in the court, Xu Jincheng, who sat firmly in the middle palace, also felt the storm that was coming, the first two children were born during the period of prosperity, and the emperor star in the north was faintly revealed, so in the time of Pei Muyao, both the harem and the court paid attention to her.

I don't know if it was suspicious or keenness in pregnancy, Xu Jincheng faintly noticed that something was wrong, and when she was pregnant in August, she suddenly encountered a thunderstorm, and she drank oxytocic medicine.

With the death of the eldest son and eldest daughter one after another, that suspicion flashed again, and after the grief and indignation, she became more and more worried that she couldn't swallow, it was Pei Yu who found Li Yu, who was the current lord of the Heavenly Pavilion, and ordered him to invite the three princes to leave the palace to live for a long time on the grounds of the opposition of the sky, and afterwards Li Yunran, the daughter of Li Yu, was exceptionally named the lord of Yunguang County to protect the glory of his life.

The emperor and queen teamed up to stage a play, and took this opportunity to send Pei Muyao to the heavily guarded Nanjian Temple, and three years later sent nearly fifty more people to the young son's side, and Qi An and Zechuan were sent to follow him at that time.

"And today, you have done a dead hand on him." Xu Jincheng smiled desolately, "I don't care if your heart is not with me, it's just Pei Yu, you can't forget the two dead children, and the promise you made to me at the beginning, you said that you would protect Yao'er and Huilan safe and smooth, you can't forget." ”

Pei Yu saw her lifeless appearance, her calm face was slightly messy, and she grabbed her hand without hesitation after a while, obviously it was summer, but her hand was cold, and she couldn't hold it warmly, "I haven't forgotten." ”

Xu Jincheng wanted to withdraw his hand, but he held it tightly.

She exhaled, her eyes sideways and no longer looking at him.

After a long time, Pei Yu let out a long sigh: "I just can't understand why it has to be Song Yi's daughter." ”

In the end, they have been married for many years, even if they are separated from their hearts, Xu Jincheng instantly understood the meaning of his words, and his heart sank: "You want to ...... to the Hou Mansion"

Halfway through the conversation, he suddenly stopped.

Xu Jincheng shook his head in a daze, speechless for a while.

The candle flame on the palace street was about to be extinguished, and Zechuan didn't wait for the news of Qi'an, and when he was about to deliver the news to the queen mother to ask, he caught a glimpse of a few familiar figures, and hurriedly ran up.

Pei Muyao, who had received a full ten lashes, walked out of the palace gate, although there was a prayer to support him, but his steps were a little vain.

When Zechuan saw his pale master, his expression was held and he prayed for peace.

Qi An shook his head slightly, motioning for him not to ask more.

Chen Shen, who was sent to the gate of the palace, also completed the things assigned by the emperor, and it was inconvenient to leave the palace late at night, and said: "The prince was whipped, and the two good students took care of the prince, and Imperial Doctor Liu and Imperial Doctor Shi were already on their way to the palace. ”

Zechuan thanked him and sent Chen Shen away before catching up.

When entering the carriage, Pei Muyao paused, and looked sideways at Zechuan: "How is she." ”

Zechuan, who was looking at the whip mark worriedly, was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly realized who this 'she' was referring to, and said: "Miss Song has returned to the house half an hour ago, and her subordinates don't really see it, and Miss Song doesn't seem to be in a bad mood." ”

Pei Muyao leaned his head on the cushion, exhaled unhurriedly, and hummed.

Song Suqing's mood is indeed not so bad, and there is nothing to waste emotions on the things that have been expected for a long time, and the top priority is how to solve this matter.

When I returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already late at night, the moonlight hung all over the sky, and the clear moonlight fell on the pond, reflecting the faces of the people clearly.

After getting out of the carriage, Song Yi glanced at her daughter and said, "You and I have a trip." ”

Song Xuqing's brows slowly wrinkled, "Yes." ”

The Hou Mansion, which had been quiet for a long time, had a breath because of the return of the master, and the sound of three or five footsteps was staggered and complicated, and the severity was different.

Song Suqing raised her eyes, and the backs of her parents were sometimes intertwined and sometimes scattered on the oblique side, but without exception, their figures were much duller than in the past, and even Xu no longer opened her mouth to laugh with her.

After entering the main hall, Song Yi waved his hand and dispersed the people waiting, leaving only a family of three.

Song Suqing asked as if nothing happened: "Dad, what are you looking for me to do?" ”

Song Yi stared at her daughter without blinking, the polite, quiet and elegant girl in front of her was completely different from the daughter who only went to the house to uncover the tiles, or it can be said that if the two of them were judged, it was rare to see the coquettish appearance towards them again.

After not getting a reply for a long time, Song Suqing felt faintly furious in his heart, thinking about what went wrong.

Fortunately, she heard Song Yi's voice in the next moment, but the words she asked made her stunned instantly.

Song Yi asked, "How long have you known King Rui?" ”

Song Suqing's mind went back and forth between telling the truth and lying, and finally chose to tell the truth: "I met when I prayed for blessings in Nanjian Temple." ”

Xu's eyebrows furrowed, remembering the chance encounter in Nanjian Temple.

Song Yi felt that there was more than that, "The first time I saw him, but why did you become familiar with him?" ”

After a pause, Song Suqing said: "He said that I had saved him unintentionally. ”

"Huh?" Song Yi gradually straightened up, looking at her daughter with a pair of eyes, "When!" ”

Song Suqing thought about it for a while, and told her father what Pei Muyao had said to her at that time.

The further down he listened, the deeper Song Yi's brows wrinkled, and he was almost about to twist into a knot, when he heard that person was a eunuch in the palace of Roujia Guifei, he raised his hand, and after Song Suqing stopped his voice, he said: "This matter is rotten in my heart, and I can't mention it to outsiders anymore, even relatives." ”

Song Xu shook his chin: "My daughter understands." ”

Xu glanced at her, she didn't expect that there were so many things in the middle, and what she didn't expect was that if they didn't ask her, they wouldn't mention it, if they hadn't met the princess at the palace banquet, they would definitely not have thought that they had known each other for a long time.

But Song Yi didn't think about this matter, he raised his eyes thoughtfully: "The concubine's actions today, I'm afraid that the emperor came out in order to find a reason for the prince, what do you think." ”

"Daughters don't marry." Song Suqing said without hesitation, paused, and said: "But disobeying the order is a big deal to lose my head, I ...... it."

"What are you?" Song Yi glanced at her lightly, "I only need you to answer, and the rest will be handled by the father, if you don't want me, I will have a way to help you refuse this marriage." ”

Hearing this, Xu also said: "What your father said is what your little girl's family can do, go back and freshen up and rest, and leave the rest to the elders to deal with." ”

Song Xuqing opened his mouth, but was intercepted by Xu's action of pushing to stand up.

Xu summoned the painting screen and the others, and ordered them to take care of them before signaling the group to leave.

Song Xuqing, who was surrounded and walked out, looked back slightly, caught a glimpse of the worry in his mother's eyes, and knew that this was not an easy task, this bureau was the emperor's intention, so he naturally praised Pei Yichen's idea, and put his idea into action, which could not be easily changed.

The emperor was resolute, and his father did not necessarily end up in good things when he went to the palace.

Song Suqing pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Mingyue, accompany me to the palace tomorrow." ”

The author has something to say:

Chapter 48: Marriage

(If you want to marry me, you will marry)

The elegant sandalwood incense lingers around the Ruiwang Mansion, the bright moonlight spills through the hollow carved windows, and the candle flame swaying in the wind is like a dancing figure, reflecting wisps of light and shadow.

There was no sound in the Ruiwang Mansion, only the sound of footsteps that sounded from time to time floated in the sky, and Qingyuantai, which had few people in the past, was filled with a scorching atmosphere at this time.

The guards who came and went hurriedly with copper basins in their hands, and the moonlight sprinkled the copper basins in the hands of the departing guards, and the blood soaked the grass on the side of the path.

When leaving the palace, the night was urging, Qi An and Zechuan did not see the injuries on Pei Muyao's body clearly, and under the light of the bright candle flame, they could see the scars on his back clearly.

Pei Muyao sat quietly on the bed with his long legs folded, his eyes closed slightly, his pale thin lips contrasted sharply with his slightly crimson face, and his thin lips never overflowed with a trace of pain.

Before the imperial doctor arrived, Qi An pushed Zechuan's hand and motioned for him to go out by himself.

When the door of the inner bedroom was pushed open, he almost bumped into the two imperial doctors who came in a hurry, Qi An's frowning brows relaxed, and he gave in to the two imperial doctors.

When Imperial Physician Shi saw the whip marks on Pei Muyao's back through the torn coat, he slowed down a little as he pulled the outer shirt, and looked at Imperial Physician Liu for a moment, seeing surprise in the other party's eyes.

Both of them are holy hands that treat injuries, and they can see what is going on at a glance, After cleaning his hands, Imperial Doctor Liu stepped forward, glanced at Pei Muyao's thin lips, and said, "Lord Wang, the wound is sticking to your clothes, you bear with it." ”

Pei Muyao's tightly closed eyes opened slightly, and he said 'um' slowly.

The wound is easy to treat, but it is close to the summer heat, and it will become inflamed if you are not careful.

When Imperial Physician Liu was treating the wound, Imperial Physician Shi prescribed a prescription and handed it to Zechuan, and carefully instructed the time to use external medicine and decoction internally, "The prince has some fever symptoms now, and he must take good precautions while keeping the house ventilated." ”

Imperial Physician Liu and Qi An, who took off Pei Muyao's clothes, were sweating on their heads, for fear that they would pull the open wound if they tried a little harder.

Pei Muyao's tight jaw was raised, he glanced at the two people who didn't know where to start, and said, "Take the scissors." ”

The dark clothes were cut into pieces, and the cloth that fell on the plot dyed the ground red.

After a while, the staggered whip marks fell into everyone's eyes, and the expressions of several people present were shocked, and they suddenly shook their senses when they heard the sound of Pei Muyao coughing.

It was already half an hour after the wound was treated, and Zechuan also sent the medicine for internal decoction, "Lord Wang." ”

Pei Muyao took the medicine bowl, the bitter smell of medicine permeated the room, he drank it and put the medicine bowl on the table, and said unhurriedly: "Staring at the point for the past two days." ”

Qi An arched his hand: "Yes." ”

Pei Muyao's eyes were gloomy, if he didn't expect it, Pei Yichen would enter the palace tomorrow morning to ask for a marriage decree, but this decree would be issued in many days at the earliest.

With a burning pain in his spine, he exhaled and blew out the candle and fell asleep.

The snow fell into his dreams.

-

In the early morning of the next day, when the morning sun was revealed, Song Xuqing, who was pretending to be something, had already woken up.

The painting screen waited for her to freshen up, and used some makeup powder to cover the green silk under her eyes.

Song Suqing casually picked up a peach blossom hairpin and lifted the long hair hanging down from her waist, seeing the worried look reflected in the makeup mirror, a shallow smile appeared in her delicate eyebrows, "It seems that my long hair is not good, and I have a sad face early in the morning." ”

Hearing his girl's joking tone, the painting screen subconsciously touched his face, "Huh? Is it ugly? ”

Song Suqing couldn't help laughing, stared back at her for a moment in a pretentious posture, raised her eyebrows, and said: "It's not ugly, it's just that it's not okay to keep frowning like this, then I have to let my mother look for it carefully, find an interesting man, and make you happy early in the morning." ”

The cheeks that were teased off the painting screen turned red all of a sudden, and the peach blossoms in the spring couldn't compare to her, "Miss is used to making fun of me, so I don't want to leave Miss, I won't go anywhere with you." ”

"That's not going to work." Song Suqing pinched her delicate cheeks, "I don't want to keep you as an old girl, I must ask my mother to find you a good family and live a good life." ”

Song Suqing's words are not false, and she has been pretending to be in her heart for a while, she and the painting screen are said to be master and servant, but they are also a friendship that grew up together.
