King's man

Dawn is approaching.Yang Xian watched the ministers leave one after another. He was still sitting there, drank the last cup of tea, and stared in a daze at the direction where the people disappeared at the door.Qingping stood behind, watching Yang Xian quietly, without any sleepiness. "Everything has been arranged, Your Majesty should go to have a rest!" Yang Xian withdrew his gaze and glanced back at Qingping, only then did he feel deeply tired. "It will be dawn soon." Yang Xian glanced at the night outside the hall again, it was quiet before dawn.

"Director Wang!" Yang Xian shouted, and Wang Quan came in in response, "The servant is here."

"Go and make arrangements, and move back to the palace the day after tomorrow!"

"Yes, does Your Majesty have any other orders?"

"Go down first." Yang Xian waved his hand wearily.After Wang Quan left, he said softly, "We will see off the departing army at that time." It seemed to be talking to himself, or Yu Qingping. "Your Majesty, rest now!" Qing Ping persuaded again.Yang Xian got up, Qingping accompanied him to the bedroom.

Yang Xian fell asleep drowsily, while Qing Pingyue was still awake.Toss and turn, always feel sorry for him.Military and national affairs, countless responsibilities are on his shoulders, how can he be relaxed?No one can help him share his expression, no one can worry for him, not even himself.Qingping recalled that occasionally he showed seriousness to herself, and he felt aggrieved and shocked, because it turned out that he didn't understand all along.Even the emperor who controls the fate of all people in the world has his insincere words.If he doesn't say anything, he has nowhere to say it. After staying by his side for so long, he still doesn't understand?In the past, she thought that the emperor was a status so powerful that others could not care about her, but at that moment, Qingping suddenly realized that Yang Xian beside her was the one who needed the most care.

On the last day in the West Palace, Yang Xian became very gentle, he kept silent about the border issues, Qingping saw that he was still with him when he was overwhelmed by state affairs, she was also very considerate and took good care of him.Both of them cherished this last period of being alone and indifferent to the world. "Your Majesty likes hot springs, should I go with your Majesty?" Qingping said.

Yang Xian shook his head gently: "I don't want to go today." Perhaps it was the impact of the border war, his heart always seemed to be stretched, and there was a sense of urgency for time, which made him want to be with each other every minute and every second. Qingping was together and did nothing.

"The weather is good today, the wind is sunny outside, and the spring is just right, let me go for a walk with His Majesty!" Qingping said again.He saw Yang Xian just sitting blindly, afraid that he would be depressed, so he insisted on relaxing with him.As soon as she said the words, Qingping couldn't help but think about the events of that year.It was also he who persuaded the emperor to go on a spring outing that year. "You just sit in the hall, don't you let down the spring willows outside the window?" At that time, he saw Yang Xian sitting dumbly, so he said so.How did Yang Xian answer him? "It doesn't matter if you lose Chunliu □□, you can just live up to Qing." He said.So what if you lose Chunliu □□, you can just live up to Qing.Qing Ping savored it carefully in her mouth, what she said as a joke at the time, now that she thinks about it, it actually has a lot of meaning.He couldn't help but leaned over, leaned on the shoulder of Yang Xian who was sitting on the chair, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and rubbed his ears together.

Yang Xian also remembered that incident.That year Qingping wanted a spring outing, but he agreed, but it was still not enough, Qingping was stubborn and wanted to seek justice from him for others.He said enthusiastically, "Of course the empress will go. Concubine Du Gui and Concubine Yu and Concubine Yu should take them out to relax after living in the palace for a long time. Of course, it would be boring without Concubine Mei!" He always didn't understand him In fact, he just wanted to be with him, and that was enough.Speaking of Concubine Mei, he felt a dull pain in his heart again.Does he know that he has been pampering him like this all the time.After all, the queens and concubines followed, and they still came to the West Palace.West Palace, this word suddenly made his heart jump. The poisoning incident happened on the mountain road below West Palace.Yang Xian felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.He stood up abruptly, "Let's go out."

The spring outside the palace was really bright and beautiful.The new green leaves of the weeping willow adorn the whole tree, and thousands of green willow branches hang down, swaying in the wind and enjoying the spring breeze.The yellow flowers of winter jasmine bloom in clusters on the verdant branches of green leaves, shining brilliantly in the sun.There are also pear blossoms lying in the snow, falling red into arrays, swallows turning and warblers singing for a good spring!Qingping supported Yang Xian to walk on the path in the garden, she was in a light mood.

As the sun moved westward little by little, the more flustered Yang Xian became, the less he wanted to leave here. "The spring in the West Palace is so beautiful, it's as beautiful as a dream. I'm always afraid that I will wake up one day, and I will never find these things again." Yang Xian stopped under an apricot tree, looked up at the trees full of flowers and said.Qingping also raised her head, an apricot blossom tree in Nuoda, the apricot blossoms on the branches are light pink and soft, spreading out one by one, and the tree is full of blooming.The sun from the western sky shines down through the branches, and the apricot blossoms bathed in the light are bright and dazzling, so beautiful and warm.Qingping felt a stubborn touch in his heart. At that moment, his heart was so soft that he wanted to cry. "Don't worry, I will always be there. Even if you go to the battlefield, I will protect you every step of the way!" Qingping said, stretching out her hands and covering Yang Xian's eyes. "Do you believe me or not?"

Yang Xian closed his eyes, the sun's light could still be felt through his fingers, and it was warm and red.he laughed. "When did Yi'er learn how to wield a knife and a gun, and you want to protect me?" Qingping put down her hands and also laughed. "My concubine!" he yelled.Yang Xian should not. "Aifei!" The tone became more and more gentle.Yang Xian still ignored him. "My concubine, my concubine, my concubine..." Qingping shouted, out of breath with laughter.

In the palace, Chen Shihai was sitting in the Lanxiang Palace, watching his daughter Chen Huilan holding the baby with a calm and happy expression.He can't help but add another trouble.The world is always not as expected, and it is unpredictable.When the first emperor was alive, he devoted himself to cultivating a loyal king, but he was later murdered by the prince.Then the prince conspired against him, and he was suppressed. When the first emperor died, he was promoted to prime minister.Who would have expected that Yang Xian would be the last one to ascend the throne?He devoted all his attention to his daughter and raised her to be a queen. He hoped that she would give birth to a prince and ascend the throne in the future. The queen's seat was secured, but she was an emperor who didn't like beauties.Later, she finally became pregnant. Who would have expected such a thing to happen again?Well now, there is no hope.The emperor is sick, the throne has no successor, and there is another war on the western border, so don't let him worry about it!As people get older, they are more likely to feel tired recently.He looked at the Queen, again disappointed. "If there is nothing wrong with the empress, I will retire!" he said.

Chen Huilan looked up at him, her father already had gray hair on his temples, she thought. "Father, take care of your health. The emperor needs his father, and so does the country." She knew how to comfort him.Sure enough, he smiled a bit, "I'm old, I'm dying!" Chen Huilan also laughed.He said that on purpose. "Father is still young, younger brothers are still unmarried, and you haven't had a grandson yet!"

Chen Shihai had already stood up and was about to leave, but he stopped again and asked, "Do you have any good candidates for your brother's marriage?"

Chen Huilan had already lowered her head, looked at the baby and smiled. "Father calls the shots," she said.Chen Shihai walked away.

In Yueyingyuan, the cherry blossoms are blooming again.Under the tree, the hydrangea is chasing a falling cherry blossom.It grabbed a small melon seed in mid-air, and the petal was touched by it, and it fell to the side. It rushed over and finally held it down. Then it raised its paw, and the petal fell to the ground. It turned its little white head, Seeing that the petals were not moving anymore, I felt bored, turned around, raised my head again, and looked at the flying flowers falling down.Yu Wanying in front of the hall looked at the lively hydrangea with a gentle smile.She walked over, picked up the cat from the ground, looked at its round and watery eyes, and felt more and more cute. She reached out and picked a cherry blossom from a branch and put it next to its ear. Tilting its head, the flower slipped down, it looked at the falling cherry blossom, moved its ears again, and looked up at its owner.Yu Wanying thought of the silk handkerchief embroidered with hydrangeas, the last time Murong Su came and saw that he put it close to his body, thinking of it still warmed her heart. "Seeing that you are still as naughty as you were when you were a child, don't you like this place very much?" Yu Wanying smiled sweetly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Song Jin called her and hurried in. "What?" Yu Wanying glanced at her and asked, her voice soft and gentle.

"Your Majesty, I just heard from the eunuch in the Hall of Cultivating Heart that the emperor will return to the palace the day after tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Yu Wanying didn't see any reaction. "Got it," she said, stroking Hydrangea Fluffy's head.

"Also," Send Jin glanced at Yu Wanying's expression, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Mr. Murong has been named General Dragon and Tiger!"

Yu Wanying raised her head and looked closely at Song Jin, who had no choice but to say: "I heard that there is going to be a war with Xixiong Kingdom, and Mr. Murong is going to lead the army."

When Yu Wanying heard that Murong Su was named a general, she was happy at first, but then she couldn't help but feel worried when she heard that Murong Su was appointed general.Although the young master has extraordinary martial arts skills, it's just that the people of Xixiong Kingdom have always been tough and brutal, and they went to such a desolate and remote place on the western border... Thinking about it, Yu Wanying handed the cat to Song Jin.What would the young master think about this matter, would he want to go?He will, the young master is a man with ambition, and he is full of heart to serve the country.Thinking of this, Yu Wanying finally calmed down a little.

Finally, it was time to go back to the palace. Manager Wang had settled everything in the early morning, and was just waiting for the emperor to leave.Yang Xian got up, took a shower, ate something, and took Qingping on the road.Yang Xian was sitting in the palace, Qingping was sitting beside him on horseback.Along the way, the mountains are fresh and the birds are singing, and the blue sky is open, the sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and the white clouds are long.The weather is so good, it really makes people want to gallop.Thinking about it, Qingping turned her head to look at Yang Xian, and saw that Yang Xian was looking at the distant mountains, a little absent-minded. "What is His Majesty thinking?"

"I was thinking, the other side of the mountain is Qi County, but I have never been there. Pingguo is so big, I have only seen the map, and I have never been to those places on the map. One day, I want to see it for myself Take a look at this land that I rule!" Yang Xian waved his arm, and his broad sleeves fluttered in the air and fell down.

"The minister of Qi County has been there. Master took us to many places before. Your Majesty is going, and I can guide you!" Qingping said, looking at the mountains under the sun. "Although Qi County is not big, it is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The gatherings in the county are also very lively, especially the temple fair, which is even more crowded..." Qingping only talked vividly, and suddenly, the horse stopped.

"What's the matter?" Yang Xian asked.

"Going back to the emperor, I don't know who spilled the black beans on the road, and the horse stopped there to eat." Manager Wang replied.

At this moment, Qingping's horse suddenly flicked its hooves uncomfortably, Qingping looked around, and saw an arrow flying out of the forest in front, shooting straight at Yang Xian.The situation was urgent and there was no time to think about it, Qingping rushed forward, and at that moment, the flying arrow hit Qingping's back.Qingping glanced at Yang Xian, seeing his frightened expression, she couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, it's all right."

Yang Xian was stunned for a moment, and then flew into a rage: "Catch me and see who is hiding in the woods! If you can't catch him alive, you will kill him without mercy." After that, he came to see Qingping again and saw blood flowing from his back. In just a moment, the clothes were already soaked in blood.Yang Xian panicked for a while, and kept shouting "Prince doctor, doctor!" He kept holding Qingping in his arms and did not dare to move.

The accompanying Ouyang Zi hurried over to check Qingping's injury. "Your Majesty, the location of the arrow is too close to the heart. If we continue to move forward, I am afraid that the bumps along the way will touch the heart, but if we pull it out rashly, there is still risk. Please make a decision, Your Majesty!"

Yang Xian glanced at Qingping again, and saw that his face gradually turned pale, and even his lips lost their color and became pale.He was flustered and saddened, tears streaming down his face.Qingping struggled to raise her hand to wipe away tears for him, this was the first time he saw Yang Xian lose his composure in front of everyone. "Your Majesty, ask your master to help me. Pull out the arrow. Sleeping with the arrow in it is very uncomfortable." He began to struggle to speak, and he wanted to say that the arrow was too ugly to induce him to relax, but he couldn't do what he wanted.Yang Xian saw that he was powerless, and felt his kindness from his words, so his heart ached even more, he couldn't breathe because of the pain, and couldn't speak.He just looked at Ouyang Zi and nodded.Seeing this, Ouyang Zi opened the medicine box and got ready.

"Your Majesty, you need to let him lie on his stomach." Seeing that Yang Xian had been holding Qingping and refused to let him go, Ouyang Zi reminded him softly.Yang Xian nodded, Wang Quan led several people to help put Qingping on the car, Yang Xian got up and pushed her down.After a lot of fuss, everyone put Qingping away, and the maids prepared water, face towels and other spare tools in an orderly manner, and waited beside them.Ouyang Zi carefully applied the anesthetic to Qingping first.After a while, Fang asked Qingping, "Master, do you feel the pain in your back has eased?"

Qingping nodded weakly.There were bursts of numbness in the back, and intermittent pain struck.Gradually the pain became distant and blurred, and everything around him became farther and farther away. The voice of Ouyang Zi talking to him was also faintly visible, as if it was about to disappear.Qingping felt that his consciousness was gradually blurring, I am going to die, he thought.But strangely peaceful.As for Yang Xian, she still wanted to take another look at him. Qingping wanted to turn her head to look at him, but after trying hard for a long time, she realized that her head was not moving and her eyes were closed.I'm dying.His last thought came to mind.Then the world disappears.

Yang Xian stayed by Qingping's side from the beginning to the end, watching Ouyangzi carefully and quickly pull out the arrow on Qingping's back, blood gurgling from the wound, Ouyangzi immediately picked up the prepared medicine bag and put it on to stop the bleeding.Yang Xian saw that Qingping was motionless, and knew that he had passed out.At this moment, his heart calmed down instead, and he quietly watched Ouyang Zi do the post-treatment work, cleaning up Qingping's wound, and then bandaging it up.He picked up the arrow again and looked at it carefully, and said cautiously, "The arrow penetrated two feet into the body, very deep. Fortunately, the arrow is not poisonous."

Yang Xian picked up the arrow and looked at it. It was a very ordinary arrow, and the arrowhead was also the most ordinary type. There was nothing special about it.Yang Xian put down the arrow and looked at Qingping again, "How is he doing now?"

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen told the truth, the wound was too deep, and it was too close to the heart. From the outside, the blood stopped temporarily, but," Ouyang Zi hesitated, thinking about the most objective and tactful words.

"But what?" Yang Xian asked, his tone weak.He really didn't want to ask, let alone listen to him.No surprises, he thought, no surprises.However, he himself saw the situation, Qingping passed out before pulling out the arrow, if it wasn't for the serious injury...he didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to listen.

Ouyang Zi was silent for another moment, before speaking, he only said a short sentence, "Life and death are uncertain."

Yang Xian waved his hand, signaling him not to say anything.Ouyang Zi turned and left.Yang Xian felt his legs go weak, he couldn't stand up instantly, and slid to the ground.Wang Quan hurriedly supported him, and helped him to sit in the chair.Yang Xian sat, holding Qingping on his lap, motionless.

For a while, dozens of internal guards brought back two people, one lying down and the other standing.The headed internal guard bowed to the ground and said: "It's my negligence, please punish me!" After waiting for a long time, seeing that there was no movement from the emperor, he said again: "I will bring you..." Yang Xian waved his hand and signaled he goes down.He got up and left with the arrested man with the inner guards.

Yang Xian sat so quietly holding Qingping, completely forgetting the time, and he didn't realize it was already noon.The maids prepared lunch, and Wang Quan softly called out "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Seeing Yang Xian glance at him, his eyes were empty and lifeless. "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch!" Yang Xian looked at him for a long time before finally seeing him.Then he said weakly: "Go back to the palace." Wang Quan hesitated, "Your Majesty should have lunch before leaving!" Yang Xian didn't look at him again, and repeated the sentence just now, "Go back to the palace." Everyone Start again.
