King's man

Yang Xian hurried to the queen's bed with Qingping, and saw that his eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale and dry, only the red lips were eye-catching, and the red of the lip lines was so thick that it was black, but embedded in the pale skin It is a strange lifeless beauty.Yang Xian couldn't move his eyes away. He saw that there was still a little dry blood stain on the corner of the left lip, which was obviously wiped by the palace lady.He moved closer to wipe her off.When he approached, he could see large, black, poisonous blood stains all over the corners of the quilt beside the pillow.Qingping paid attention to Yang Xian's expression, and felt that the hand he was holding with him moved unintentionally. Qingping held that hand tightly with all her strength.Yang Xian felt the power and looked back at him.

At this moment, the lips were slightly parted, and blood gushed out from the crack of the lips again, black, thick, plasma and blood clots.The maids were in a hurry again, but the imperial physicians stood upright one by one, and stood firmly behind Yang Xian, sweating profusely, and their faces were uglier than those of the patients.When Yang Xian turned his head, the four imperial doctors froze.

"What's going on now?" Yang Xian asked, and everyone bowed their heads in silence for a while.

"Tell me, what's the situation now?" Yang Xian asked again, but still no one dared to answer.

"Physician Chen, you have the most experience, tell me!" Yang Xian's voice was a little weaker, looking weak.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I thought that the Queen's vomiting was to expel the poisonous blood. This is a normal situation. The Queen's poisoning was serious, and it took a while before..." After speaking, the voice was obviously lacking in confidence, and finally disappeared. in the throat.

Yang Xian looked at the imperial doctor Zhou who was always there.Seeing this, Imperial Doctor Zhou had no choice but to say, "I think that if this continues, I'm afraid that the poison will be lost before the poison is removed. If we use the medicine to stop bleeding now, the poisonous blood will accumulate and the heart will be weak—" Another sentence that was not finished was swallowed into the stomach.

"According to you, there is no other way now!" Yang Xian was furious, following his scolding, everyone in the room was shocked except for those lying on the bed.Qing Ping wanted to comfort Yang Xian, but she shed tears first.Thinking of the day before leaving the palace, he went to Lanxiang Palace and saw the queen trying on clothes with a light smile. In fact, she was happy in her heart, and he knew it.It's only one day, fate is impermanent, no one can predict it!

Du Jinghong originally thought that Qingping would stand up, but she glanced at Qingping, seeing this, she understood in her heart.Then he took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctors have been busy until now, and they have done everything they can. It can be said that they are not trying their best. The situation of the Empress is complicated, but there is still hope. What I want at the moment is to help her tide over the difficulties." , It's not time to pursue responsibility." Her voice was clear and calm, and Yang Xian gradually calmed down.He looked back at the lying one, she was no longer a noble and elegant queen, her face was so real in his heart for the first time. "Go down, all of you," he said.

The interior is empty.Quiet.The guilt towards her that Yang Xian had kept in the depths and refused to touch was boiling like boiling water.The woman lying on the bed is his first wife.He walked over and leaned over to hug her.I can't tell if it's the call in my heart or the whisper in my mouth.Cymbidium!He had never called her so affectionately before.Your eyes are so beautiful!He didn't even compliment her on their wedding night.I like your plump shoulders!He never concealed his distaste for her Feng Yitianxia's demeanor.These words have long been wanted to tell you in my heart!He kept avoiding her and didn't want to see her.He punished her to make him feel guilty for her, and he deliberately owed her more for what he owed her.

She had been by his side in those dark nights, in those nights when nightmares were inevitable and frightening.Only now did he think of those past events, the ones that comforted him and warmed him because he deliberately forgot because he was determined to get rid of the entanglement of the unbearable nightmare.He buried them all in one go, just because it was related to the dream he wanted to forget.It's not fair.He was never fair to her.She never complains.

But she said that Huang Ying rushed back to the palace that night, took a nap before dawn to catch the tail of the night, and got up early the next day.After tidying up and dressing neatly, Huang Ying can go out.The sun was so bright, the leaves were so green, and the birdsong was so sweet.The oriole couldn't help but also echoed a few times, it was the song of the lark, which was clear and beautiful.Seeing that the empress has finished dressing, he went to answer.Bring her the news of the Queen's poisoning.Sure enough, the corners of Empress Mei's eyes raised even higher after hearing this. "What poison did you get?" She asked with interest.

"The slave listened intently for a long time, but he didn't hear any kind of poison. It seems to be relatively rare. Even the imperial doctor can't be sure. The situation is very complicated."

The fetus is gone.Lin Mei nodded in satisfaction. "Has the queen's poison been cured?"

Huang Ying raised her head and glanced at Lin Mei. It was her smile that he was all too familiar with. He quickly lowered his head and replied, "I'm not sure about the tone of the imperial doctor. When the slave came back, he drank all the medicine and didn't feel better. Dorje is gone!"

As expected, Lin Mei's smile became brighter and brighter, her eyes were sparkling, and she possessed the power to take one's soul away.Lin Mei asked Hong Yin to reward him with silver taels, and told him to go down.When Huang Ying saw that his mother was happy, he was also happy in his heart, and kowtowed to say goodbye with gratitude.He stood up and was about to step back, when Lin Mei said "wait a moment", he bowed his head and stood up again. "No one found your whereabouts, right?" "No." He replied, hesitating for a few seconds. Ping, but the servant is in the dark and has fled immediately, so he probably won't recognize it."

"Understood, let's go down." Lin Mei said.She watched the little eunuch named Huang Ying disappear from the door, and a large group of bright red roses suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The flowers bloomed so intensely and intensely, spreading out like a pile of burning flames.Her nails snapped on the armrest, one sound, another sound. "Luying, settle him down." The voice was calm and decisive.Lu Ying went out in response.Pity.Lin Mei looked at the patch of red roses in the courtyard, and felt regretful in her heart.

Within ten days, the emperor brought the queen back to the palace.Lanxiang Palace ushered in a new lively scene. "My sister's health is better, just take care of yourself and don't get angry!" "Young lady, don't worry, the past is over, and she will be fine in the future!" Elder sister has always been tolerant and magnanimous, I think her body will recover soon, and she can rest with peace of mind!" One figure after another appeared in front of the bed, with bright clothes and shining hair forks, the whole room looked after itself. Noisy with its hustle and bustle.But what did all this have to do with her?No.It doesn't matter anymore.Nothing is too hot in summer.No matter how noisy the cicadas are.No matter how hot the sun is.No matter how fragrant the orchid is, no matter how cool the jade is, there is nothing wrong with it.She was just a limp body lying on a bed.

It is rare for the emperor to come to visit often, more frequently than he has visited in the past few years.But she doesn't want to see it.When he came, she lay on her back.what else?On the first night after she woke up, she bit the corner of the quilt and cried bitterly, with such overwhelming despair, such pervasive sadness, such exhausted and powerless pain.Fate gave her hope, and now, it broke that hope with its own hands. She thought she was lucky. She found that she still had a chance to be happy, and she believed that she still had a chance to be happy.She really thought that the child would be born smoothly, she personally sewed the coat and hat for him, exquisite and small, she would watch him grow up day by day, and he would accompany her for the rest of her lonely and long years—but she was wrong.She has nothing left.That one chance.wrong.He was considerate for a rare time, and handed her a cup of tea with his own hands. As a result, she had to endure such pain before she came to feel the humble happiness; wasn't even the arrival of the child an accident? His boredom of her was the accident He gave her the best gift; even entering the palace was a mistake in the first place, right?She came to a gloomy and cold place with a woman's longing for happiness, and her tenderness was absurdly superfluous to him.Everything is wrong.hatred.Resentment rolled in my heart.Who should I blame and who should I hate? Hate the murderer behind the scenes, but if she hadn't drank that cup of tea, he would have been the victim.Blame him?She can't bear it.She would rather push all faults to fate.Why is fate so cruel!Why is God's will so tricky!

She felt so weak and powerless that she didn't even have enough strength to cry.very tired.I don't want to sleep yet.Tired of disturbing happiness.The softness of silk quilt.The coolness of being soaked in the dark.Freeze the general time.The tears from the left eye dripped into the right eye, icy cold.no direction.Love is so blind and so terrible.Still favoring him to this day.What's the use.In vain.It will never be better.

Chen Shihai finally had time to visit the queen, his daughter.He had to salute in a serious manner first, and then sat down quietly after all the ladies in the palace had left.She was thinner, her face was pale, and her former beauty had lost the brilliance of Feng Yitianxia, ​​and she looked haggard.There was a heavy pain in his heart.He had thought about the words before coming here, but now he couldn't bear to speak. "Relax and take care of your body as soon as possible!" He said, still in the tone of Dun Dun's teaching all the time, but there was a little more caution in his tone.Chen Huilan glanced at him gratefully, then closed her eyes again.There was silence.

After a long time, Chen Shihai said softly again: "You are weak now, how about I let Suxin come into the palace to accompany you, my cousin is more at ease than outsiders, and it is also a care." The tone was very soft, with a hint of hesitation.Even so, Chen Huilan still felt like a violent storm, which made her dizzy for a while.She didn't open her eyes, but turned her head away.They don't want her anymore, even her father will dislike her, she must have let him down.He has worked hard to plan for half of his life, and he has thought about everything, but she is not favored.Now that she could no longer conceive, he began to think of someone to replace her.His own father is still like this.Tears rolled from the corners of her eyes.She endured, and said in a calm voice, "Father, I know what you're thinking." She bit her lip with her teeth, trying her best to restrain the grief that was about to burst the embankment. "It's useless. His mind is all on Qingping. Even if there are more people, it will be the same. The sword hangs in the cabinet, and it will only attract dust." After she finished speaking, she felt very tired, so she persisted and added, "Father still Go back first." She just stared blankly at the roof.

"I will find out who it is." Chen Shihai left behind a sentence.She just turned over and buried her face in the pillow, her body trembling uncontrollably.

When everyone broke through the threshold of Lanxiang Palace, King Dudong went to Xiuxin Palace.He is dressed in black clothes, with a silver hair crown on his head, elegant and indifferent, reserved and restrained.Yang Xian was sitting in a daze in front of the case. Seeing him coming in, he stared straight at him and looked at each other, but he saw Yang Hong's eyes were soft and calm, without any waves.After a while, Yang Xian asked him to do it.At this point, Yang Hong felt relieved.After he sat down, he smiled calmly: "Perhaps, Your Majesty should consider the matter of choosing a concubine." Yang Xian raised his right hand to signal him not to continue. "Your Majesty has a lot of time, so don't be in a hurry." Yang Hong added, and after speaking, he saw Yang Xianwu looking out the window in a daze.He finally stopped talking.

Chen Huilan lost time in the torment of every minute and every second in her heart.Others remember.Time passed in their perception of the summer in the palace that was more desolate than winter, in the sound of their footsteps unconsciously lightened, in the expressions they looked at each other and hesitated to speak, day by day passed, Never freeze, never stagnate, never fly away, never escape.Yang Xian went to Lanxiang Palace to visit every day, and every time he sat by the couch, silent.Sometimes it takes a stick of incense, and sometimes it takes a long time to sit.But never said a word.At the same time, Qingping often went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.In Qingping's eyes, this middle-aged woman looked a little terrified, and she was trying to relieve herself with the indifference in her heart.Sometimes he would transfer to Meixiang Palace.The gate of Meixiang Palace was finally opened for him, and he showed Du Jinghong the excerpt of the remnant play "Su Xiaoxiao" that he hadn't finished practicing. She knew, and he knew, that he would never sing this play again.We don't know how these two people spent the night together in the Hall of Cultivating Mind, weeping at each other, or sleeping in each other's arms.

Lin Mei has been uncomfortable every day since the queen came back.Because of Huang Ying's matter, she paid attention.It wasn't a big deal at first, but if it happened at that moment, if someone deliberately used it to link it with the Queen's poisoning, the consequences would be unimaginable.Then Lin Mei went to check on Qingping's tone, but nothing unusual was found.Time passed day by day, and there was no sign of trouble.The spring outing incident has become a mystery without an answer.As soon as the emperor returned to the palace, he ordered the Ministry of Punishments to investigate, but there was no clue.The court lady serving tea hanged herself that night.She was originally a second-class maid on duty in the Hall of Cultivation of Mind. She was elected to the palace five years ago. Her father in her hometown had died, and only her elderly mother was watching over her brother, who was bedridden and paralyzed all day.Her identity has little context.There were no clues behind her.Lin Mei believed that the emperor secretly sent people to investigate secretly, she knew that the matter was very complicated.But she didn't know exactly why.The situation in the palace became delicate, and she always felt uneasy.And the source of her uneasiness is him, Qingping.She felt that something had to be done.

This day Lin Mei woke up from a nap, the weather in July, the sun was scorching in the sky, the roses were red, and the heat in her heart was even more hot.She ordered someone to wash her face with cold water, and she didn't wear any powder or daisy decorations. She only wore black hair and a white water pattern silk brocade dress, and she went out gracefully.When she arrived at the Hall of Cultivating Heart, the surroundings were quiet, only Chun Wei heard footsteps and came out to salute, when Lin Mei asked, a trace of doubt flickered on her brows when she replied.When Lin Mei heard that Yang Xian was unfortunately in Lanxiang Palace, she felt a little angry.It's boring to think about going back, so it's better to stop by the Queen Mother to say hello.When Lin Mei turned around and was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of Chun Wei still standing there respectfully, she parted her cherry lips and said casually, "Serving the emperor is different, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are even more beautiful!" After saying that, she left gracefully. .Just this one sentence made Chunwei's heart excited like a war drum, and his body froze for a long while.

Lin Mei entered the Danyu Palace, the peonies had already bloomed, and the garden was full of plants, green and green, and she really felt cooler than other places.Lin Mei walked in lightly, and gradually heard the sound of crying. She was puzzled, and saw several stalks of bamboo in front of the window outside the hall, so she quietly hid in it, holding her breath and listening carefully.There was someone crying in the room, the voice was choked, and the person who wanted to cry felt out of control and tried his best to control it, but the sadness and desolation in his chest clearly engulfed the whole person's mind, that person finally lost control, let out a cry of grief, his grief The grievances and sadness were all leaked out from the crying, which made Lin Mei feel sad and depressed for a moment, almost crying.Who is crying, Lin Mei thought in her heart, it can't be the Queen Mother, could it be that she came to the Queen Mother to complain?Since the emperor is in Lanxiang Palace, it is impossible for her to be here.Is Du Jinghong?It's quite possible, I'm afraid it's because he was frightened when he left the palace this time!Lin Mei nodded thinking it was true, and the fleeting sadness was immediately swept away by a smile, "A dignified Pingguo talented woman is nothing more than that!" Lin Mei suddenly felt excited when she thought of Du Jinghong's pale face. I wonder if the tears dripping from those blue eyes are also blue?Thinking so far, I forgot about the scorching sun, and felt refreshed.

Lin Mei was distracted, and the time for a cup of tea was over.The crying in the room gradually subsided.Lin Mei quietly walked out of the bamboo bushes again, calling "Miss Mingxin!" in a beautiful voice, pretending to be unaware that she just came in, and strolled into the hall.Even though she had been thinking outside the window for a long time, Lin Mei was still taken aback by the indoor situation: the queen mother was sitting dignifiedly in her armchair, with a tolerant and calm expression. The appearance of wiping tears is not exactly Qingping!Lin Mei was secretly startled, and bowed down to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. There was no doubt that she would not normally perform such a grand ceremony. Fortunately, she lowered her head to hide her slightly flustered expression.It was just like this, her gaze happened to pass over the Empress Dowager's knee, and she saw the wet mark on her brocade robe.Not allowing her to think too much, the Empress Dowager stretched out her hand to support her, she stood up spontaneously, her expression returned to her usual poise, and there was still a bit of a smile on her lips. "The concubine just went to the Hall of Cultivating Heart, and was afraid that the emperor would be too sad and wanted to share some troubles. Unfortunately, the emperor is not here, and the concubine thought that the emperor came to the empress dowager, and you are here!"

The queen mother smiled slightly after hearing this, her eyes became more slender. "Your Majesty is filial. I always say that I have nothing to worry him about here. Even if he is too busy, he will send Qingping to visit me. Your Majesty has been depressed recently, so you should always go and accompany him!" He spoke in a neither hasty nor slow manner, explaining Qingping's appearance completely.And the tone is quite gentle and calm, which can't help but be unconvinced.

At this time Qingping had adjusted her posture and turned around. "The emperor has been going to Lanxiang Palace every day, and he still can't let it go. Usually, the concubine Mei is the emperor's favorite. The presence of the concubine Mei may make the emperor happy."

Lin Meixian paid attention to Qingping's expression when she mentioned Lanxiang Palace, she looked into his eyes and saw nothing unusual.Later, when he heard him say that he was the most favored by the emperor, he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but smiled brightly on his face, "Mr. Qingping is serious. Everyone knows that the emperor favors you now. There are things that you can't do. We Even more powerless." Yan Bi looked at Qingping with a smile, and let's see how he would answer.Qingping didn't say anything more, she asked the Queen Mother to resign and left.After a while, Concubine Mei also left.

There was no moon that night.The sky is full of stars, the twinkling Milky Way.The call of Zhizhi was rising and falling in the dense grass.Lin Mei was enjoying the shade on the stone chair in the courtyard.Thinking about it, I was always confused by Qingping's crying.She naturally didn't know that Qingping was an orphan since he was a child and had never been loved by his mother. The empress dowager's tolerance and kindness gave him a kind of attachment to his mother, which is why he showed his inner fragility in front of her.Concubine Mei didn't understand, thinking of Qingping crying at the Empress Dowager's knee, a plan suddenly came to her mind.
