Qingyun Weiyang

Yun Jin stood in the rain, everything around her seemed to be still.

The leaves on the branches, after being washed by the rain, are extraordinarily emerald green, and the yellow plums make a ticking sound against the drizzle.

Shihan prostrated on the ground and wept bitterly, Yuanxi dared not speak, but just looked at Yunjin quietly.She didn't say a word, and she had no expression. No one knew what she was thinking.

It took a long time before I heard her weak and dumb voice, "Li Ruo..."

Li Ruo, who had been following behind him, leaned forward, "The minister is here."

"You led all the shadow guards to search along the ground near the Red Sea. Ren Han, you are familiar with the place, and you and Lord Li will go together. Whether you find it or not, you must send a letter back to the palace every day."

"According to the order."

The two of them were ordered to leave the arrangement immediately, Yun Jin continued to get on the sedan chair, and left for Chengyang Palace.

As if nothing had happened, Yun Jin issued an order in an orderly manner, and after seeing Qin Yu, he began to discuss state affairs as usual.Based on the set of "Military Strategies" written by Qin Junlan, she preaches and teaches every day to solve doubts, just like a Taifu, personally guiding.

After Xian Wang Qin Junhao returned to the palace, he just lived in a low-key other palace and rarely showed up. Occasionally, he would go back to Xian Wang's mansion for a short stay, just to meet Qin Yu conveniently. The father and son often practiced archery.

The palace was too peaceful. After the heavy rain, it was sunny for seven consecutive days.It seemed that everything was going on as usual, but Yuan Xi was always afraid in his heart, and the Queen Mother was too calm, too calm.

The current state is exactly the same as when Nalanqing had not entered the palace, aloof and cold, the inviolable power of heaven deters the court.The only difference is that she almost never sleeps, except for the occasional meal, she is basically dealing with state affairs.

Occasionally, she would rest with her forehead on her forehead, but she would wake up soon.For the entire seven days, she hardly ever went back to the bedroom, nor approached the bed once.

"The empress dowager is getting thinner and her face is haggard, what can I do?" Huairou looked worried, even if she was usually careless, she could tell that Yun Jin was holding herself up, and she was always stretching herself, but the string was too tight, if Loosen up, and the whole person will collapse.

"The calmer she is, the more troublesome she is. Seven days have passed. Hasn't there been no good news from Mrs. Li? There has been no news for half a month after falling into the sea. Everyone knows what will happen, but no one dares to say. The Queen Mother just I don't dare to think about it." Yuan Xi sighed deeply, but Huai Rou became sentimental.

With tears in her eyes, she tugged at Yuan Xi's sleeve, "Yuan Xi, will the Patriarch die?"

Yuanxi didn't know how to answer. If he didn't survive, he wouldn't be able to bear it for at most seven days without eating or drinking. What's more, if he fell into the sea, he didn't know where he would be washed away by the current. What if there were some piranhas and the like? The more Yuan Xi thought about it, the more frightened he became, but he still had to comfort Huai Rou, "Who is the head of the family? It will be fine, it's just the sea. What is so hard to get her in this world."

"You're right, but..." Huairou couldn't even comfort herself, but no one wanted to think about whether Nalan Qing was really dead.

While the two were talking, they found that Yun Jin was walking out, and hurriedly stepped forward to follow.

She walked leisurely in the imperial garden, and at a fixed time every day, she would go to several places.The painting place in the atrium, the place where Nalanqing lived in the backyard, and the Wenzhong Garden where the court ladies dealt with food were all places where she and Nalanqing had walked.

Yuan Xi didn't understand whether it was because the queen mother was too forbearing, or because she didn't believe the news of the Patriarch's accident, she just felt that Yun Jin was like three souls lost, even though she could handle state affairs wisely and make decisions on court affairs, she always felt that she People are like losing their souls, without spirit.

Behind the seemingly calm, is her silence of suppressing grief.She didn't show any sadness, nor did she cry too much. Every day when she heard a letter from Li Ruo saying that there was no news, she just nodded lightly.

She named Nalanqing's backyard Lanyuan, and let the palace staff reorganize it into a separate garden. After dealing with state affairs every day, she would sit there alone for half a day.

In the evening, Yunqi Palace was as usual, with lights in hand.Qin Yu submitted to Yunjin a copy of "New Theory on the Administration of the Army", which not only integrated Qin Junlan's marching strategy, but also wrote out the management method of the recovered Three Kingdoms garrison.Only Luo Guo's Shuimen Army has a weaker view. This is the biggest problem. Lian Yunjin has not yet figured out a perfect solution, but it is not easy for Qin Yu to do this now.

"Basically, the emperor is ten years old this year." Yun Jin looked at his son with a kind face, but in his opinion, the mother's empress looked tired at the moment.

"Yes, my son and minister are dull, and I haven't been able to govern myself at the age of ten." Qin Yu lowered his head, always feeling that as a man, he should take charge of the world earlier than the emperor's aunt.

"You have done a good job, and the queen mother is very pleased." After Yun Jin said, she walked to the bookcase next to the desk case, where a bronze tripod stood there. There is a brocade box with golden patterns.

Yun Jin took out the brocade box, walked up to Qin Yu, looked at him deeply, "Huanger, it's time for you."

"This is?" Qin Yu didn't know what Yun Jin's intention was. He opened the brocade box and saw a tiger roaring and a dragon singing.

Qin Yu's pupils opened slightly, "Mother, what are you?"

Yun Jin caressed his shoulder and shook it lightly, "It's time for you to be in charge, the queen mother can't continue to be a regent, and all affairs in the world should be respected by the emperor's jade seal."

"But..." Qin Yu felt that suddenly, the military talisman came over like a heavy burden of gold. He had been waiting for himself to be responsible enough to be able to take charge of the government, but this day came earlier than he expected.

"Emperor, the queen mother is tired, really tired, and has no strength to bear any more state affairs. The future depends on you." Yun Jin lightly pressed his shoulder, only to hear a sigh of loss, and she went out, not knowing what to do. Xiang He Fang, only felt that her back was immersed in heavy sadness.

That night, Yunjin moved from Yunqi Palace into Lanyuan, lived in Nalanqing's former residence, and started a life that did not care about the government.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I haven't found it yet."

"understood."

Every evening, news from Li Ruo would come, but it was the same every time.

Perhaps no news is good news.

Lanyuan, the word Lan was written by Yun Jin himself, carved into a plaque and hung at the entrance of the main entrance.Under the ancient locust tree in the courtyard, a new pavilion was built, named Lanting.

After Nalan Qing left the palace, Yun Jin arranged for someone to do it. She thought it was difficult to meet each other, but she always wanted a place where she could place her lovesickness.And Lanyuan was the place where she opened her heart and handed herself over to Nalanqing.

Yun Jin seems to have entered a life of seclusion in the palace. She is a vegetarian every day, rarely speaks, and paints most of the time.The house is always hung with portraits of Nalan Qing. Yun Jin's brushes have shown her in different styles, even Lan Qing's appearance.

"The patriarch in the Queen Mother's painting is really charming." Yuan Xi looked at the frown and smile in the painting, they were very moving, just like Nalan Qing was by his side, it was so real that it was heart-pounding, but sad.

It has been 20 days and there is still no news from her.

Ever since the news of Nalanqing's fall into the sea came out, she seemed to be normal, but she never smiled or spoke much.Just as Yuanxi was talking to her at this moment, she seemed to have not heard it, but only focused on the pen, and described Nalan Qing's eyebrows, nose bridge, and even her tenderness very carefully.

While she was looking at the portrait while writing, her eyes always had double shadows, and her vision of Nalan Qing gradually blurred.She rubbed the center of her brows, and it took a long time to relax before she could see a little more clearly.

"Your eyes are uncomfortable again? Queen Mother, I'd better let the imperial doctor come over to show you." Yuan Xi always felt that if she continued to paint like this, it would really hurt her eyes. There are already more than a dozen portraits of the Patriarch in this room. Do you draw endlessly?

"No, it will be fine if Ai's family has a rest." Yun Jin put down the brush and walked back to the bed.

The difficulty of sleeping and eating these days made her a little afraid of going to sleep, and the sleeplessness of being alone every day made her feel terrible, and when she closed her eyes, it was a stormy sea.

"Lie down and get some sleep. You haven't had a good rest for many days." Seeing that she was finally willing to sleep, Yuan Xi hurriedly rolled out the bedding and waited for her to fall asleep.

Sudden extreme sleepiness made her fall asleep quickly.Yuan Xi sighed deeply, and glanced at the censer. If she hadn't dared to infuse some incense, the Queen Mother would probably continue to suffer.

For the first time, she knew that when a person is saddest, it is not crying, but silent forbearance and silence.

"Why are you bothering?" Yuan Xi help Yun Jin put down the quilt, shaking his head helplessly.

Next to the screen is a wooden frame supporting the official uniform, which was given to Nalan Qing by Yun Jin, and it has been hung since he lived here.

Everything was related to Nalan Qing, but looking around, there was still no news of her.

The endless seaside is the same color as the blue sky, and there is still thick snow on the beach.Yun Jin stood alone by the seaside, looking into the distance with a smile, while Nalanqing sailed towards the seaside.

Suddenly, the wind and cloud on the sea changed color, and the waves turned into giant dragons, swallowing Nalan Qing and the ship together.The entire Red Sea turned blood red, and Nalan Qing was nowhere to be seen.

"Qing'er..." Yun Jin grabbed the quilt, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her face was soaked.

"Queen Mother? Queen Mother?" Yuan Xi hurried over when she heard her calling, "Why are you sweating so much?"

"Qing'er..." Yun Jin seemed to be in a nightmare, unable to wake up or wake up, her face was pale, her lips were as white as paper, her hands were tightly clenched, and she kept murmuring the word "Qing'er".

"Queen?" Yuan Xi patted her shoulder lightly, at a loss.

Yun Jin finally opened her eyes slowly, and her whole body gradually relaxed. She turned her head slightly, and the official uniform caught her eyes.

"Is that official uniform still reserved for me?" "Of course, do you think Aijia can still fancy other female officials? Sir Lang."

"Are you afraid that the Red Sea will swallow me?" "I am a god, a god who descended from the mortal world, and a god who is obsessed with the queen mother."

"Hehehe..." Yun Jin actually laughed, but she clearly had tears in her smile and her heart was bleeding.

Huairou brought hot water, seeing Yunjin's distraught appearance, she was really sad.I have served Yunjin for more than ten years, and I have never seen her so sad. All the sorrows are swallowed up in my heart, and I finally let go of the heavy responsibility and let the emperor take charge, but the head of the family...

"Queen Mother..." Huairou held the hot towel and dared not go forward for a long time. She was so sad that she could only wipe away her tears. It was Yuanxi who calmed down and wiped Yunjin's forehead and temples.

Yun Jin regained her composure, and after that sad smile, she walked into the courtyard alone.The Xiaoxiao evening rain is coming, and the day changes as soon as it is said, like a dream, and like the sound of waves hitting the ears, it comes without warning.

She didn't know how long she had stood there, how long she had been in a trance, as if in a trance, standing outside the world of mortals, because only in this way could she feel that Nalan Qing was still by her side.

She said that she was in a place where she could see her when she looked up.But the sky is so big, where is she?

"Report to the Empress Dowager..." The sender always arrives on time.

"Let's talk." Yun Jin didn't look back, as if she was already numb.

"I found two floating corpses..." The man spoke very quietly, Huairou rushed over and shouted, "What? Floating corpses? Is there a Patriarch?"

Yuan Xi looked at her helplessly, Huai Rou was really straight.

But at this moment, Yun Jin's heart was also trembling, she turned her head tremblingly, waiting for the man's answer.

"It's not the owner, but the boatman and fisherman, and the entourage who boarded the boat with the owner."

"Can you keep saying it in one sentence!" Huairou couldn't help yelling, "I don't know if people will be scared to death by you?"

Huairou was almost crying as she said, Yuan Xi gently pulled her hand and patted it in the palm, "Okay, don't talk about it." The queen mother is already worried enough, if they show their sorrow, they will hurt the spring and autumn every day , Do you want to pass the day?

"Back off." Yun Jin turned around and walked into the house without saying a word.

She didn't dare to think deeply, and she didn't want to think about anything. She hoped that her heart would be blank, so that the current state would not be out of balance.So what if someone else's corpse is found, it doesn't mean that something happened to Nalan Qing.

She said that even if she reaches the sky, she can come down.Others can't do it, Nalan Qing can do it, Yun Jin has always believed, so she won't cry, won't be sad, she just misses.

But... her heart hurts like Ling Chi every day, and she can't control it at all. She can only continue to live like this if she keeps busy and doesn't think deeply.

Suddenly there is darkness in front of you, is it dark?God, when did it get dark so suddenly, I couldn't see my fingers.

"Won Hee~"

"The servant is here." Yuan Xi hurriedly followed.

"It's getting dark, let's hold the lamp."

Yuan Xi looked at her in surprise, although it was gloomy outside the window, it was not evening yet.

"Queen, it's not yet..." Huairou just wanted to say that it's not dark yet, but was interrupted by Yuanxi, "Huairou, go get some more red candles, the queen mother wants to paint, let's light some more."

Huairou also felt that something was wrong, and just nodded in a daze.

"Queen Mother, please sit down first." Yuan Xi held his breath and took a breath, not daring to panic.

Yun Jin's eyes didn't pay attention, and he didn't even see the table and stool at his feet.There is only endless darkness in front of my eyes, as if my eyes are blindfolded by a black cloth, and I can't see anything.

Ten candles were lit in the room, but Yun Jin still seemed unresponsive, Yuan Xi didn't even dare to ask her if she could see, but just lit the candles silently, feeling confused.

"Okay, stop busy." Yun Jin stood up, stroked the air a few times, and almost tripped over the stool.

The already sad eyes became more dull now, but she put on a helpless and desolate smile, "Aijia is blind, isn't it?"
