After I fell off my horse, I was married for nine thousand years

The first person that Emperor Chengde saw when he opened his eyes was Xiao Rubi.

Xiao Rubi was sitting on the head of his bed, and was seriously stirring the medicine in the bowl with a small spoon.

When she looked up again, she bumped into Emperor Chengde's open eyes.

Xiao Rubi paused, and smiled happily at Emperor Chengde: "The emperor is awake!"

She has an innocent appearance, even in her 40s, when she smiles like this, it is easy for people to feel her sincerity.

But Emperor Chengde's gradually sober mind can be sure that when he and Xiao Rubi looked at each other for the first time, he saw the cruel regret in her eyes.

This made Emperor Chengde angry, so he wanted to point Xiao Rubi to let her go, but he couldn't raise his hand.

Xiao Rubi looked at his angry eyes and seemed to think it was very interesting, so her smile grew wider, and the pearls on her temples shone warmly against the black hair.

The two stalemate like this for a while, and the imperial doctors filed in. Chang Ning walked in the front and knelt down in front of Emperor Chengde's bed.

He burst into tears: "God bless Daqi, God bless Daqi! Your Majesty will be fine if he wakes up, it will be fine if he wakes up."

Emperor Chengde gasped and said, "Let her go!"

He thought for a while and asked again: "Where is the imperial concubine?"

But after he finished speaking, he suddenly froze there, and then he became emotional. Emperor Chengde opened his eyes wide. He had never been so scared in his life as he was at this moment. Every inch of his body was full of anger. trembling.

Not only him, everyone around him also panicked. Chang Ning turned his head and screamed to ask Xu Guangnian: "What's the matter, what's the matter, Doctor Xu, why can't Your Majesty speak anymore?!"

There was chaos in front of the whole bed.

His Majesty the Emperor could not speak.

This is the conclusion Xu Guangnian came to after his diagnosis.He put his head on the ground, his old bones were shaking more than Emperor Chengde on the bed: "Your Majesty just woke up, I prescribed some medicine, drink it for a few days, and see if it gets better."

He didn't dare to say that he was old, and because he didn't do exercise on weekdays, most of his body was already exhausted.

Emperor Chengde tilted his head and stared at him, making a ho-ho sound from his throat.

The imperial physicians and Chang Ning crowded in front of the dragon bed, Xiao Rubi wandered away from the crowd, looking at Emperor Chengde through the crowd of people, she seemed to find it interesting, and said after a while: "Then trouble the envoy to prescribe the medicine."

Xu Guangnian was supported and walked out of the room tremblingly.

With Xu Guangnian writing the prescription, it didn't take long for the other imperial physicians to leave the palace.After a while, only Xiao Rubi and Emperor Chengde were left in the bedroom.

Emperor Chengde stared at her, mumbled indistinctly, and soon couldn't hold back his saliva, which flowed down the corners of his lips and wet the pillow.

Xiao Rubi took a handkerchief and wiped his saliva carefully, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, she seemed to know what Emperor Chengde was thinking, and said to him softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty and Concubine Zhou fell into the lake on a boat and fell into a coma. For such a long time, it is really because the noble concubine did not take good care of her, and the concubine made the decision, and let her go to the cold palace to calm down for a few days."

Bitch!If I don't wake up, will she be killed in the cold palace by you? !

Emperor Chengde didn't know what strength he had, he grabbed Xiao Rubi's wrist suddenly, he held it tightly, and wanted to scold her and scold her, but he couldn't speak.

All around is quiet, where the Supreme King rests, no one dares to breathe and speak loudly here, only light sunlight leaks in from the window lattice, and stays on the golden cup.

At such a quiet moment, it seemed that Emperor Chengde was drooling and hooting, a little pitiful.

Xiao Rubi's wrist was in pain from being clenched, but she didn't resist at all. She served Emperor Chengde non-stop for more than ten days, she was too sleepy, and she didn't have the energy to break free from a man's imprisonment.She just became more interested in her eyes. Looking at Emperor Chengde like this, she seemed to have seen something strange.

Fortunately, Emperor Chengde lost his strength in just a moment, his arm slipped down, and he fell back on the bed in a state of embarrassment. He wanted to call someone to let Xiao Rubi go, but no one answered her.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Xiao Rubi smiled at him, "The concubine didn't make things difficult for the concubine. The concubine is all well in the cold palace. I don't believe that your majesty will go and see, she is still a good concubine."

She shook the hem of the skirt with both hands, and the skirt shattered the sunlight, Xiao Rubi's voice was a little helpless: "Your Majesty, don't believe me, I won't live long, this time it might be a farewell, and I didn't deceive you." It's necessary."

Hearing what she said, Emperor Chengde slowly calmed down. He looked at Xiao Rubi as if he was looking at an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.

Looking at her like this, Emperor Chengde could clearly see her pale face and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

"During these days when Your Majesty was unconscious, the ministers and concubines waited on you day and night, and they didn't dare to relax in the slightest. They wanted to ask for a reward from Your Majesty." Xiao Rubi lowered her head and bowed to him lightly and deftly. "The concubine has licked the position of queen for many years. She is not worthy of virtue. She has not fulfilled the responsibility of a queen. She is really ashamed. Concubine Zhou has a deep relationship with His Majesty and his wife, which is enviable. She has a generous temper, gave birth to a prince, and It is an old man next to His Majesty, with a clean identity, and it is much better for her to sit on the Queen's seat than me."

Emperor Chengde sat on the bed and looked at her with probing eyes. He didn't say anything, but Xiao Rubi could still see clearly the words in his eyes.

She smiled, her eyes were clear, like a 15-year-old look: "Your Majesty, don't doubt me, I don't have much time, the imperial doctor said that I'm depressed, I'm afraid I won't survive until March next year, what I just said is really true. "

Emperor Chengde started hooting again.

"I don't know how many years ago it was when Your Majesty talked to me last time, and I'm afraid it will be the difference between Yin and Yang next time." Xiao Rubi looked at him, "Your Majesty, if I die, it will be a good death."

I hope you are not.

The news that Emperor Chengde woke up reassured the court approaching the end of the year. Although he could not speak or get out of bed, there were Turks in the north, and Daqi really couldn't lose the emperor at this time.Emperor Chengde was alive, and he could bear it with one breath.

On the second day after Emperor Chengde woke up, he who was able to hold a pen and write lay down on the bed and wrote an imperial decree, abolishing Xiao Rubi's empress position, demoting her to Concubine An, and promoting Zhou Guifei who was in the cold palace as empress.

Yan Huaiyin received the news immediately. At that time, he was reading the letter from Yan Xiuqing. He put down the letter and only said two words: "It's done."

Because it was approaching the end of the new year, the Ministry of Rituals drew up an excerpt, saying that it would be best to hold the queen's successor ceremony in the next year. Emperor Chengde approved the exposition, but ordered everyone to respect Concubine Zhou as empress.

For a while, as the name of Empress Zhou was confirmed, Qi Zan really became the heir apparent. With Liu Qingyun's support, he was in the limelight for a while. Only Jiang Lian could contend with him, but Jiang Lian's people seemed It's because I'm afraid, I often avoid it on purpose.

The people in the city seemed to have also heard the rumors of cranes in the court. As the New Year's Eve was getting closer, it was not as lively as it was in the New Year's Eve.

Five days before the New Year's Eve, Yan Huaiyin waited for news from Huo Yunping.

"The gangsters have been strangled, and a batch has been produced." Huo Yunping rubbed his face, took the hot tea that Lian Qing handed him, and took a big gulp without fear of getting hot. The old part of the Northwest is different, so it’s easy to buy things.”

It's not like they built a bomb in the old part of the Northwest, and they had to sneak together.

"Has the Heyu army left the city yet?" Yan Huaiyin poured him another cup of tea.

"Report to master." Huo Yunping's face became serious, and he saluted, "there are 310 and [-] crane feather troops, waiting for master's dispatch."

Yan Huaiyin clasped his hands together, and hummed leisurely for a while: "I see."

They were chatting here, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, Huo Yunping turned around, and saw Jiang Lian straddling his long legs into the room.

His expression was unusually serious, Yan Huaiyin waved at Huo Yunping when he saw it, Huo Yunping had an epiphany, bowed his head and retreated.

"What's wrong?" Yan Huaiyin asked Jiang Lian.

Jiang Lian knelt down in front of him, held Yan Huaiyin's hand, and looked up at him: "There is a news that spread throughout Chaohua City overnight."

After he finished speaking, Yan Huaiyin seemed to have guessed something, he said: "Let's listen."

"It is said that the old Eastern Chu is not dead," Jiang Lian said softly, "he is by the emperor's side."

The wind blew suddenly, and all of a sudden, even the three-year-old child in Chaohuacheng knew about it. Jiang Lian went to investigate, but couldn't find out where it came from.

But even though there was no proof, they already knew who it was, Yan Huaiyin said softly, "It's Liu Qingyun."

Jiang Lian also responded softly: "It's Liu Qingyun."

"Wait a little longer," Yan Huaiyin smiled after a moment of silence. He had no fear of revealing his identity, so he lowered his head to look at Jiang Lian, "Let him pass it on."

Jiang Lian looked at the smile in his eyes and understood what he meant, he stretched out his hand and brushed away the broken hair on Yan Huaiyin's forehead, and said in a low voice, "I'll be with you."

Yan Huaiyin rubbed his palm: "Everything is ready."

Jiang Lian said softly, "The only thing missing is the Tiger Talisman."

The news that the prince of the old dynasty was not dead spread more and more wildly, but within a few days, not only Chaohua City, but even the small towns around the city knew about it.

After just a few days, the news changed rapidly.

"The prince of the old dynasty is not dead."

"Did he escape to the old northwestern part?"

"Zhao Huan sent someone to Chaohua City, do you think that person is the prince?"

New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve banquet.

The New Year's Eve banquet was the emperor's banquet for the officials in the palace. Officials of rank nine and above in Chaohua City could participate, and high-ranking local officials also came to the city early to thank Shengen.

Even if Emperor Chengde is not in good health, as long as he is awake, according to the ancestral system, he will appear at this New Year's Eve banquet.

Carriages are not allowed to be parked within ten miles of the palace gate. There are many officials entering the palace today, and many who can afford to ride in a carriage.

According to the custom, everyone hung a bell on the eaves of the carriage. The sound of the bell would drive away bad luck and bring good fortune for the coming year. Yan Huaiyin's carriage was no exception. I saw a carriage just parked next to it.

Liu Qingyun got out of the carriage with him almost at the same time.

Today is the New Year's Eve, and the officials can be a little overstepped. He has a big red scarf around him, and he looks very happy.

Liu Qingyun didn't seem to expect to see Yan Huaiyin now, so he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and said happily, "Happy Chinese New Year!"

Most of Yan Huaiyin's face was hidden under the fox fur, only a pair of eyes were faintly exposed, and she bent her head when she heard the words, and replied in the same way: "Happy Chinese New Year, Prime Minister Liu."
