Chapter 13 Those who didn't sleep all night
Another person this night.
Qinghe was in a corner of Dong'an Hall where no one could notice her. It was pitch black all around. The emperor had not arrived yet, so only a small lamp was lit, which could only illuminate the small area.
Everyone in the Desheng Hall knew that the emperor did not like to be served when he took a bath. Usually, only two eunuchs were allowed to enter here, and their job was to rub the emperor's back and hand him clothes.
Even so, I was often kicked out without knowing why.
Qinghe has been planning for this opportunity for three years.
Since she entered the palace at the age of fifteen, her goal has been the emperor. However, as a young maid who had just entered the palace, she didn't even have the chance to see the emperor's face, let alone anything else.
She used the little money she had to pawn things, and when that wasn't enough, she also used her body to be molested by those dead eunuchs. After much effort, she was finally transferred to the emperor's bedroom - the Purple Palace.
Just when she thought she could finally see the emperor, the emperor moved out of the Zichen Palace for some unknown reason.
Moved into a very inconspicuous small palace - Ruixiang Palace.
She doesn't have much time. A woman's prime years are only a few years long, and in the blink of an eye, she will become old and ugly.
Unable to continue using all his tricks, he was finally transferred to the former Ruixiang Hall, which was renamed "Desheng Hall".
This took her two years, and when she arrived at Desheng Hall, she began to understand everyone's temper and habits.
Not only the emperor's, but also the emperor's favorites, such as Eunuch Su and Eunuch Yu.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. She coughed for three days after just one bite of the snack Su He she made. She had to be examined by an imperial physician. If she was not an important person in front of the emperor, she would have coughed to death without the imperial physician's examination.
She tried all the ingredients for the pastry one by one and found that it was hazelnuts that caused Eunuch Su's cough.
She used all kinds of words to seduce the unattractive young girl, making her feel restless and providing herself with a helping hand.
Hazelnut powder will become damp if ground and stored for a long time, so she prepares some every month or so. Fortunately, the quantity is not large and it does not attract anyone's attention.
With this arrangement, everything is ready except for the east wind.
However, the general Wang and the emperor had a close relationship since childhood, and he stayed in Xifeng Pavilion twenty days a month, which greatly hindered her from taking action.
During the rest of January, whenever the General was not in Xifeng Pavilion, the Emperor would not be in Desheng Palace, and it was unknown which palace he stayed in.
While waiting in Desheng Hall day after day, she saw a nobleman wearing military uniform and with extraordinary demeanor.
That day, she was delivering snacks to the Emperor. When she turned around, she almost bumped into a nobleman who was just passing by. If it were someone else, she would have been punished by being made to kneel down. However, the nobleman reached out to help her and gave her two words of advice: "Be careful."
She never knew there was such a gentle noble in the palace, although the noble's gloomy eyes scared her at first.
But at that encounter, the noble man's deep and pleasant voice broke into her heart.
She soon found out that the noble man was the emperor's ninth brother, the Ninth Prince of Dayu, someone she could never get close to.
As she waited day by day for an opportunity, every time she saw the Ninth Prince, she would secretly take a few more glances at him, and would find a way to send the snacks she made to the East Warm Pavilion. If she found that the Ninth Prince had taken even a bite, she would be happy for many days...
Until today.
The east wind she had been waiting for finally came, and General Wang left the palace. The Emperor was still in Desheng Hall, and the eunuch Su was on duty today.
Qing He carried out all the plans she had made countless times in her mind, waiting to help the emperor bathe, and then...
But she was alone in the dark corner, and she didn't know how long she had been waiting, but the emperor didn't come to the hot spring.
Not only did the emperor not come, but even Eunuch Yu did not come.
At least two hours had passed, which meant that the emperor could not come again tonight. If he did not leave Dong'an Hall soon, it would be dawn, so Qinghe could only quietly retreat again.
Qinghe, who had been hiding in Dong'an Hall, had no idea that the emperor was no longer in the palace.
When I returned to the house, I saw Qingmiao was already asleep. I was exhausted all over. I didn’t succeed this time and I didn’t know when the next chance would be.
Qing He accidentally made some noises while distracted. Qing Miao woke up and asked, "Where is my sister?"
Qing He had already made up an excuse in her mind and just started to say, "Oh, I met someone from the Empress Dowager's palace at the door..."
Before he could finish his lie, Qingmiao fell asleep again.
Qing He couldn't believe it. He walked to Qing Miao's bedside and called out softly twice: "Qing Miao, Qing Miao..."
He really has no ambitions. He can even fall asleep like this.
Qinghe could only hate him for not fighting back, and she didn't sleep all night.
Many people in Desheng Hall did not sleep that night.
After the pain from the bone setting subsided, Wu Qing felt that the pain in her arm was now tolerable.
Because of her habit of skipping through books and the fact that she had no memory of her original body, she didn't know that the owner of Xifeng Pavilion was Gu Shixin.
She thought she was just sleeping on the dragon bed with a simpler meaning.
Hahaha! Just thinking about it makes me happy.
If her arm wasn't broken and she wasn't afraid of getting hurt, she really wanted to roll over and over on the bed and do a few somersaults.
When the two male protagonists return, she will have no chance. She will definitely be kicked out of Desheng Hall.
Since both of them are not here, I'll just stay here and recuperate first!
In fact, Wu Qing guessed that if she told Helian Hao that Gu Shixin was leaving, Helian Hao would definitely go after him. She hesitated at the time whether she should tell Helian Hao first that someone was waiting for him in the hot spring.
However, Wu Qing felt that it was not a big deal for the palace maid to want to climb onto the dragon bed to find a way out for herself, and no one's life was harmed in her plan. Now that she had blocked her path to success, she didn't want to force her to death. So she chose to ignore it and pretend she knew nothing about it.
There was no need for Helian Hao to expose this matter.
Wu Qing didn't know what happened to Helian Hao. After all, it was no longer in the original book.
Wu Qing lay on the dragon bed all night. Her arms were always aching. She hardly slept at all and stared at the bed curtains to pass the time... She found that this room seemed familiar.
Wu Qing was sleepy and in pain, and she was in a daze, but she finally made it to dawn.
He Cui brought breakfast. After eating, Wu Qing felt better. Then she felt sleepy and wanted to have a good sleep, so she just lay down.
He Cui said worriedly, "Sister Wu Qing, the medicine will be delivered soon. Take the medicine and then go to sleep."
Wu Qing thought about it and it made sense. She had finally fallen asleep, and then she was woken up again for medicine. She would be so angry that she would die.
Bored anyway, she looked around the room she currently occupied, and the more she looked, the more familiar it looked.
Until she saw the words on the wall: Zhongshun Pinghe!
Wu Qing stood up straight, walked to the opposite side of the four characters "Zhong Shun Ping He", changed the angle, and looked again -
Oh my god! This calligraphy was the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes after she came here. There was no mistake, it was this calligraphy of "Zhong Shun Ping He"!
Wu Qing immediately turned around and saw the wall where the Dog Emperor pressed Gu Shixin... It turned out that the pitch-black thing was not a wall, but the door of a tall cabinet that almost reached the ceiling.
When I walked closer and took a closer look, I saw a embossed dragon pattern on the black lacquered cabinet door.
It was no wonder that when she first looked at the wall, she felt that it seemed uneven and wanted to use some yellow waste materials, thinking that the wall was created intentionally, so that the uneven wall would bully people.
Hahahaha, hahaha!
The paint is so black that you can’t see it clearly unless you get close. It is low-key, luxurious and has connotation!
Wu Qing walked closer and looked at the wall carefully.
By the way, the dog emperor once pressed someone's mouth and kept saying "I want happiness". Yes, it was this place.
She suddenly felt unwell. Based on her experience reading the novels, that thing would probably hit the cabinet...
Wu Qing couldn't look directly at the cabinet anymore. She turned around decisively and looked at the place where she had just been lying. The dragon bed also looked familiar. She must have entered this room many times. Although her attention was on the two male protagonists, she could still catch a glimpse of the bed in her peripheral vision.
Hahaha! This isn't just a dragon bed, it's a dragon bed that both male protagonists have slept on!
I saw another screen in the room.
Wu Qing circled the screen twice more. Yes, this was the one she had wanted to hide behind.
She was laughing so hard in her heart. This was where Helian Hao and Gu Shixin were causing trouble!
I never thought I would end up staying in this room. It's incredible!!
What's with all this inexplicable excitement?
*-*-*-*-*
Yu Feng was also unable to sleep that night.
Eunuch Yu walked back and forth outside the Desheng Palace courtyard all night. He was originally waiting for the emperor to return to the palace and be at his service at any time, but he ended up walking all night.
The emperor had not returned at all. Whenever he heard any sound, he thought it was the emperor who had returned. He went out to meet him from a long distance away, but there was no sign of the emperor at all.
He was worried all night long.
Seeing the sky turning pale, Yu Feng took a final turn around Desheng Hall and walked into the hall, looking back every few steps.
It was daybreak, and he couldn't let anyone see him like this, and couldn't let anyone know that the emperor was not in the palace.
Yu Feng tiptoed to his master's residence. The emperor had not returned home all night, so he wanted to ask his master for advice.
But when he arrived outside his master's window, he was in trouble again. His master had a cough. He heard some noise at night and came to check on him twice.
The master was coughing so hard that he was gasping for breath. He even stopped a young eunuch to ask about it. The eunuch said that the master's face had turned blue and purple from coughing so much.
Come to think of it, he really didn't dare to tell his master.
He felt that if his master got any more anxious, he might die.
But he had never dealt with such a matter before. The emperor was not in the palace, so the memorials submitted could be put aside first. But what if someone asked to see him during the day?
Yu Feng took a deep breath and his mind raced. He couldn't let more people know that the emperor had left the palace. The emperor didn't even bring his cavalry with him. If someone with ill intentions knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, Desheng Hall is in his hands, and he has always kept it under strict control. No one dares to let any news out.
Yu Feng entered the main hall of Desheng Hall. His legs were a little stiff after walking all night, so he found a step to sit down.
He forced himself to calm down first, recalling how his master handled such situations.
Last year, the emperor suddenly felt like leaving the palace in casual attire. The master initially blocked everyone’s requests to see him.
Yes, there's no need to even give a reason, just say the emperor is busy. As for what he's busy about, it's not something a servant like me can know.
This trick works in the short term. There are still four days of grand court meetings. Will the emperor be able to return? What if he can't come back?
...There is no solution to this for now.
We can’t let more people know about this, and among those who already know about it, who can be of help?
Wu Qing, yes! She should know something that she doesn't know.
Yu Feng was very glad that he did not neglect Wu Qing. He stood up and walked towards Xifeng Pavilion.
Although no one heard what the emperor said to this young lady before leaving the palace, looking at the emperor's temper, Yu Feng guessed that Young Lady Wu might know where the emperor had gone.
When I reached the door of Xifeng Pavilion, it was already bright and the morning light shone in.
Seeing a young eunuch bringing the boiled medicine over, Yu Feng waved and took the medicine, saying at the door: "I am here to bring medicine to the young master."
After saying that, he waited until someone let him in before pushing the door open and walking in.
Wu Qing got goose bumps when she heard the word "young master", but she lived here now. Although it was her first time to actually enter Desheng Hall and see the furnishings in the room, it must be the emperor's bedroom. If she didn't admit that she was the young master, these eunuchs and palace maids would probably not believe it.
He just said, "Thank you!" and signaled Eunuch Yu to put down the medicine bowl.
He Cui took it and tested the temperature, "Sister Wu Qing, it's not hot anymore." She brought the medicine to Wu Qing and was about to feed her.
Wu Qing was really not used to this. She took the medicine with her left hand, tilted her head back and drank it in a few gulps.
I put down the bowl and saw that Eunuch Yu was still there, with a troubled look on his face. "Is there something wrong, Eunuch?"
"There are still four days until the grand court meeting..." Yu Feng secretly observed the expression of Lady Wu.
Seeing that this young lady Wu looked at him in surprise, clearly not understanding what he meant, Yu Feng had no choice but to explain more clearly, "Young lady, do you know when the emperor will be able to return to the palace?"
Wu Qing thought about her father-in-law's situation and understood, "If I don't come back today, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back for the court meeting."
She didn't mean to scare anyone. The fact that he didn't come back today meant that Gu Shixin had already left Beijing, and Helian Hao must have chased him out of the capital.
How easy is it to go out of the capital to chase someone?
The roads outside the capital are interconnected in all directions, and finding someone's whereabouts is no easier than looking for a needle in a haystack.
What's more, Gu Shixin's health was very bad, so he must have been riding in a carriage, which made it even more difficult to find him.
It would take about ten days or half a month to get him back, and Helian Hao also needed to know where Gu Shixin would go after leaving Beijing.
Wu Qing doubted that this dog emperor didn't know. Did he know Gu Shixin that well?
If you don't know enough, just because he almost crushed me to death, humph! Go find it, if he can find it back in half a year, he'll be amazing!

*Luo Bu: The name Luo Bu originated in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Cai Yong recorded: When the emperor went out, the order of the carriages was called Lu Bu.
Since the Han Dynasty, the queen, the dowager concubine, the crown prince, the princes, and the ministers all had their own processions, each with its own custom.
The Emperor's Procession can be roughly understood as the ceremonial guards and escorts that accompany the Emperor's travels.
The emperor's procession is also divided into large, medium and small sizes according to the occasion of the trip. The riding procession is the smallest size of the emperor's procession.
The largest Lubu was called the Dajia Lubu, which was used for ceremonies of offering sacrifices to heaven and for tours of the four directions. It could greatly demonstrate the emperor's authority and dignity.
During the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is a period of well-documented history, the number of people in the imperial procession reached 20,611.
