Beyond the Great Wall

It's the rainy season, and the rain has been pattering for more than half a month, and the dark clouds cover the entire sky in rows and patches, making it very dark and uncomfortable to watch.

Shen Wancong's disease was finally under control, but the root cause of the disease was still there.Every rainy weather, he would have a headache, and he would lie on the bed for a long time without moving.The imperial doctor Gu Qin took good care of him, and although Tang Lin, his apprentice, was a bit unfamiliar, it was good to follow his master's instructions.In recent days, it has been raining continuously for a long time, and Shen Wancong's post-morbidity has also been troubled by the continuous rain, which is really annoying.

Shen Wancong obediently took his medicine and food on time, but he never got better.At night, the disease actually got worse, and the pain was so painful that I couldn't sleep all night.Shen Wancong clenched the brocade quilt and gritted his teeth, but was sweating like rain.The piercing pain prevented him from falling asleep normally, but instead gave him more time to think about it.So many come and go, one has a sharp headache, and the other has a heartache that makes the condition worse.

Gu Qin found that Shen Wancong woke up very early recently, and as soon as he came in, he saw his eyes staring at the rain outside the house. "Please pay Mrs. An's peace." Although Gu Qin and Shen Wancong gradually became acquainted, but because of their superiority and inferiority, he still followed the rules and said a few polite words.Shen Wancong gave a low hum, and wrapped the quilt tightly.Since he became ill, he has become more and more afraid of the cold. Although it is rainy in summer, he still likes to huddle in a warm place.

"Mr. Fu An, do you feel better or worse these days?" Gu Qin saw that he was huddled under the blanket and didn't want to come out, so he made a cup of tea for him and handed it to him. "But still have a headache and fear of the cold?" Shen Wancong Thank you Gu Qin for taking the cup, and warming his fingers between his hands, his fingers are always cold: "It's still the same, but I'm a little anorexic lately..." His brows and eyes are actually lonely, and his tone follows the outside As long as the rain.

"Anorexia?" Gu Qin asked him to stretch out his hand to signal his pulse, "I remember that Mr. Fu'an's taste has always been bland, but the cook in the mansion messed up and made some thick soup and meat to make you lose your appetite?" Touched by Shen Wan Cong Shi Gu Qin only felt a chill, and when he looked at the wrist, he found that the color of jade had lost its temperature. "When I got sick, my hands and feet were often cold. They weren't that cold at first, but as the rain got heavier, they became colder." Shen Wancong smiled wryly, "I'll cover it to see if I can get over it when I go back." He used the other hand Lifting up the hair in front of my eyes, "Everyone in the house knows my temperament, and they are all doing well... These are just my reasons. Don't tell the emperor when you go back."

Gu Qin remixed Shen Wancong's prescription and added a few herbs: "After adding medicine, this soup will become more bitter. If you can't stand it, you can add some sugar to suppress the bitterness after drinking it, but you must not drink it. He ate too much." Shen Wancong nodded quietly, his brows were pulled apart abruptly, and now the pain started again, he just wanted to find a bowl of medicine to pour, at least to suppress the pain psychologically.

Gong'e quickly cooked the medicine and brought it in, along with a small plate of halva.The bitter smell of herbs stained the room, mixed with the smell of rain, and it disappeared a little.Gu Qin went out, and there were two palace maids and him in the room.Shen Wancong picked up the white porcelain bowl, and his blurred face was reflected in the black concoction.He closed his eyes and raised his head to pour the medicine, and drank it all in one gulp.Bitterness suddenly took over his sense of taste, he frowned, and waved to Gong'e to bring water and a rinsing box.

He stared intently, the hand that brought the water didn't seem to belong to a woman.He raised his eyes and saw that Meng Che came to him at some point, holding water in one hand and holding it in front of his eyes.He hastily rinsed his mouth, and was about to lift the quilt to the ground to pick him up, but Meng Che pressed him on the bed and couldn't move: "I think you're inconvenient due to illness, so I'm sorry." Just as he was about to say something, he opened his mouth. Immediately put a piece of sugar in it.His speech was vague with sugar in his mouth and he didn't know what he was talking about. Meng Che raised his eyebrows aside: "Just now I was thinking about how to get you to eat sugar, but I didn't expect you to open your mouth on your own initiative. Mr. Fu An is really good at it." It’s really peace of mind to be considerate.”

Meng Che came to him simply for breakfast.Shen Wancong was anorexic during his illness, but he still drank half a bowl of millet porridge and swallowed a piece of pastry with Meng Che.Seeing that he was losing weight recently, Meng Che forced him to drink another half bowl of porridge.Shen Wancong's complexion became worse and worse after swallowing the half bowl of porridge forcefully, and he vomited it all up an hour after Meng Che left, even the new medicine he just drank disappeared in his stomach immediately.Shen Wancong vomited non-stop, his face pale.Gu Qin almost rushed here with Tang Lin, and when the two of them rushed into the room together, Shen Wancong could only vomit, and there was nothing left in his stomach.

The symptoms of vomiting were like the beginning of a disease, and then Shen Wancong suffered from insomnia, anorexia, headache and vomiting, and he was so tired and lifeless all day long.The medicine was taken as a meal, and the doctor also found many, and the prescriptions prescribed had no other effect except that they were so bitter that I could not speak.Meng Che came to see him many times in person, only to see that his face was pale and he was panting heavily.

Shen Wancong watched Meng Che sit up and down in front of him, and smiled softly: "Leave me alone, just drink a few more bowls of medicine, medicine won't take effect so quickly. You should spend more time with the concubine in the palace What, it's not good to make people look pale..." Meng Che turned his head and glared at him: "They have nothing to do with you, if you like it, I don't mind including you in the harem." Shen Wancong listened. She was taken aback for a moment, and then her cheeks flushed, but Meng Che didn't notice. "I shouldn't have force-fed you." Meng Che saw him lower his eyes, and suddenly slowed down his voice.Shen Wancong moved his hands restlessly, not knowing how to answer, he just bowed his head and said nothing.

Shen Wancong looked out the window: "In June, the phoenix flowers should bloom..." The leaves were wet with rain, and the bright green appearance was endearing.Meng Che was a little bored, since Sang Chuan had such a quarrel with Shen Wanhui that night, Shen Wancong was a little out of spirits.He tried his best not to let Shen Wancong touch those bright red things, for fear that he would think about those things.He pushed off the joys and joys in the palace for him, and if He Yusheng couldn't pass up the banquet, he took it with him. He also went to tell He Yin that if he wanted to dance, he must not choose red clothes for the change.

But as soon as June arrives, the phoenix flowers are absolutely beautiful when they bloom, and the bright red is better than countless clouds in the sky.

Although, when he was in Sangchuan back then, he and he liked the Sanlihuanglou where the bright red phoenix was fully opened.

After finally waiting for the rain to break, the sky cleared up.The sky that has been washed by the rain for a long time is clear and blue, like the clear pond in front of his house.Shen Wancong also improved slightly after being soaked in the medicine, at least he slept more peacefully at night and did not vomit, but he still had some anorexia and headaches.He gradually got down to the ground, often wandering around outside the house a few times, or squatting by the pool to tease the koi.Meng Che rarely asked him awkwardly to be careful not to fall, but it made him laugh for a long time.

Gu Qin and Tang Lin received the emperor's awards recently, Gu Qin looked normal, but the little imperial doctor Tang Lin was full of joy all day long, as if it was Chinese New Year.He looked amused, and his mood changed a little bit.

He was taking advantage of the sunshine to go for a walk in the yard, when a palace maid attracted a person, saying that he came here specially to visit Mr. Fu An.Shen Wancong lifted the willow branch to see, it turned out to be He Yin.He straightened his clothes and came out to salute, just now he saw a rabbit leaping into the tree, thinking that it might be a guard who had nothing to do to raise it, so he went into the grass to look for it, but he messed up his clothes when he didn't want to.He Yin was dressed in a bright peach-colored dress, and the intricately decorated hairpins on her hair looked expensive.He had seen many such things in Sangchuan before, so he wasn't too surprised.

"I heard that Mr. Fu'an was ill recently, so I always wanted to visit him. Mr. Fu'an is doing well these days. I have ordered the palace to prepare some nourishing food and send it to the mansion. I hope that Mr. Fu'an can take good care of his body." He He Seeing that this is a beautiful sight, "You guys retreat first, I will have a leisurely chat with Mr. Fu An." The guard Gong'e replied and retreated, but those guards couldn't bear to leave.He Yin grew up to be more beautiful and more like her mother.

Shen Wan Cong Yi lifted up the willow branches hanging in front of He Yin in a good manner, and he, who was dressed in clear water and green, contrasted sharply with He Yin's gorgeous peach color.He Yin's bright red lips are like sticks: "I just want to talk to Wan Cong about the current emperor, Meng Che." She pinched a leaf with her slender fingers dyed with red sticks, and tore it off forcefully, playing with it between her fingers: "Thinking of Wan Cong, you and Meng Che have saved lives a few times. It's only normal to feel grateful and close to him. But, from what I think... your grateful closeness to Meng Che has changed. delicious."

Shen Wancong felt sorry for Liu, and said slowly: "Concubine Chen is so smart, but why did she have to come here to talk to me in person? If it wasn't for Meng Che who saved my life, how could I have a peaceful relationship with him?" Wait." He caught a glimpse of a pair of emerald tail feathers falling from the treetops, and the black eyes on the light brown head seemed to be full of water.Shen Wancong had a quiet temperament, so he tried not to participate if he could.Now that He Yu suddenly came to talk to him about Meng Che, he was a little displeased.

"Wan Cong really broke the topic. It would be boring to continue talking with ordinary people." He Yan suddenly smiled, and the willow leaf slipped into her palm, "But I am not an ordinary person. You know, when I was seventeen When I was in Shuo, I won the battle with all the officials with my tongue... Even the first emperor gave me a little bit of the He family." The bright green leaves were very conspicuous in her plain hands, and she continued, "You don't have to choose to answer , but I must say the following." He Yu was flamboyant, with the aura of his father back then.

He Yin's father's power in Shuo was second only to Shuo Jiazong, and He Yin was her father's favorite child.Although she was born as a daughter, He Yin does not lose to men in certain words and deeds. "You and Meng Che are both men, and it's rare for men to be in love with each other. You are a special case." He Yan walked gracefully, and the publicity of the He clan inadvertently appeared in his demeanor. , "Meng Che is the founding emperor of the new dynasty, so he will inherit the family. If boys and girls can really appear, it will be a wonder through the ages."

Shen Wancong was silent, there was a rockery pond in front of him, and the few fish in the water were also pretty.He tried his best to think that He Yin was talking nonsense, but he had to imprint them all in his mind. "Meng Che and I met when we were young and have never forgotten it. You see, why would he specially make me a concubine? Although I didn't become a queen, but you listened to the conversations of those little maids and guards, and you understood something in your heart. Seven to eight." He Yin tilted his head and looked at Shen Wancong, "I don't mind your thoughts on Meng Che, but it's not right to take the initiative to keep him. After all, you didn't tell him what was on your mind. , and..." She suddenly lowered her voice, "Who are you, the last emperor of the Shuo Dynasty... Do you think the new emperor and the former emperor are really suitable?"

Shen Wancong's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned to look at He Yin: "You don't need to emphasize this, I understand naturally..." He suddenly swallowed the following words, choked in his throat, and it was very uncomfortable - he saw He Yin's white neck There were a few dark red marks imprinted on his pants, which were not much different from the ones Meng Che left on him that time.There were mixed feelings in his heart, and there were bursts of disappointment. "Meng Che is a good man. He deserves to marry and have children to enjoy the family happiness like other men. If you pester him like this, it will really insult the high expectations of his ancestors..." He Yin kept talking, but Shen Wan Cong could not hear much.What he saw just now was really exciting to him, and He Yin's sentence "the new emperor and the former emperor" has already stirred up thousands of waves in his mind.

He admitted that he liked Meng Che, but He Yin and those words and traces that came out today made him discouraged.Did Meng Che have a short time with He Yu when he was sick? Meng Che held a big banquet on the night of He Yu's birthday because he valued He Yu very much, and what he did in the rain with him might just be because he was confused by drinking Well, after he left, did he change his clothes and return to the banquet to talk and laugh happily with He Yu...

After finally waiting for He Yin to finish talking, he was already in a trance.After seeing off He Yin and returning to the house, he sat quietly in front of the window, and the April Yingfei painted on the screen suddenly became blurred.Is it fate? It is fate that he cannot be with the one he loves...

He is very sad, he wants to cry.But it seemed that something blocked his throat and buried his eyes, and he couldn't make any sound or shed tears.He suddenly wanted to leave, leave this place that caused him pain and sadness, and go to a place where Meng Che could not see and whisper alone.

Whispering alone...whispering that I love you can never be said by myself, okay?

His eyes were suddenly clouded with tears, but he bit his lips tightly and kept silent, swallowing the sad voice back into his stomach.When he raised his hand to wipe away his tears, he saw Zigui open his mouth and cry outside the window, the scarlet in the bird's beak was like crying blood.Suddenly, the taste of rust filled his mouth, and he wiped it to find that his lips were bitten again.

How did you become like you... He looked at Zigui and muttered, two lines of tears slid down his cheeks disobediently.
