National Day Extra 17
Yingchun came out of the medicinal kitchen with her medicine medicine. When she looked up, she saw Qiu Qiu standing not far away. Yingchun frowned and asked, "Early autumn, why are you standing there if you don't stay by Your Highness?"
When the early autumn saw Yingchun, her face wrinkled. She hurriedly ran towards Yingchun and said with some crying, "Sister Yingchun, your highness has been sleeping for so many days, why haven't you woken up?"
Yingchun did not answer her question immediately, but continued to walk forward with the medicine. After passing the threshold ahead, she said to Chuqiu: "Doing your own duties well is to accumulate blessings for Your Highness. If Your Highness feels our feelings, you will naturally wake up earlier. So don't worry, go and see how Your Highness is now."
Chu Qiu nodded embarrassedly, and then ran out like a gust of wind. When she reached the gate of the hall, she suddenly slowed down, afraid of disturbing Xu Yan's rest in the hall. She gently stepped over the steps and was about to look up and see the scene as usual, but suddenly she stopped in place.
"District...Your Highness, are you awake? I am not dreaming, right?" Chu Qiu finally reacted and asked in a tone of disbelief.
Xu Yan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, watching the wind rolling up a few falling bamboo leaves, raising a beautiful curve in the air and then floated to the sky. Xu Yan's eyes kept following these bamboo leaves. At this time, she was wearing white clothes and standing under the light, like a fairy who was about to become an immortal at any time. She lost her mind when she saw early autumn.
It was not until the bamboo leaf completely disappeared from her sight that she asked lightly: "How many days have I slept?"
When I saw Xu Yan finally came back to my senses, I was so excited that I could not stop. I hurriedly told her all these days of fear and worry: "That day, I went to report to Your Majesty's departure, and when I came back, I saw Sister Yingchun and several others pressing you to the ground. At that time, your eyes were red and you were completely unreasonable, as if you were suffering from a nightmare. I hurried to invite the Imperial Doctor to come for treatment. Unexpectedly, although you stopped making trouble after drinking the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Doctor, you fell asleep. Until today, you have been asleep for five days! It has made me worry too much."
Xu Yan quietly listened to her telling all these things, but there was no expression on her face. After listening, she asked lightly: "Is there anything big happening during my sleep?"
Chu Qiu listened to Xu Yan's question, frowned and thought carefully, and then said, "There is nothing big. It's just that your Majesty suddenly fell into a coma. Although Your Majesty did not come to see you, he postponed the spring hunting incident for seven days, which is enough to show Your Majesty's concern for you."
When Xu Yan heard what Chu Qiu said, she did not show any concern. She replied lightly: "Is that true?"
Chu Qiu did not realize something was wrong with Xu Yan, and was still immersed in the joy of Xu Yan finally waking up. Xu Yan did not look back and said to Chu Qiu: "You go down first, I want to be alone." Yingchun, who came with the medicine, heard Xu Yan's words before he stepped into the door.
Yingchun looked at Chuqiu in surprise, closed the door gently and pulled Chuqiu away, and asked, "Your Highness is awake? When did you wake up?"
Chu Qiu looked at Yingchun with guilt and replied, "I don't know the specific time. When I came back, I saw Your Highness standing by the window."
Yingchun frowned and continued to ask: "Have your highness told you anything?"
Chuqiu said Xu Yan's questions one by one. Yingchun didn't hear anything weird after listening carefully. She pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do this for now. But you must make more thoughts around Your Highness in the future and never make any mistakes like today. Otherwise, even if I go to the master to plead for you, it will be useless. Do you understand?!"
Chuqiu didn't understand why Yingchun suddenly said this to her. But she also realized what was wrong and hurriedly said, "Yes, Chuqiu understands it."
The door was closed gently, making a dull sound. Xu Yan said to the air gently: "Come out."
He Xun came out from behind the wardrobe and bowed to Xu Yan: "Your Highness."
Xu Yan waved his hand and said, "Let's go ahead."
He Xun nodded and said, "The matter that Your Highness asked his subordinates to investigate these days has been found out. Chuqiu is indeed still working for His Majesty. When my subordinates go to that village to investigate, the old woman has moved away. She is not the mother of Chuqiu."
Xu Yan frowned and heard He Xun continue, "There is also the subordinates to investigate the situation in the army. Mr. Yun's coffin has been buried. At the same time, the news came that Lord Liu and Mr. Yun Qi will get married soon."
Seeing Xu Yan's face gradually getting gloomy, He Xun finally reported all the news.
Xu Yan asked coldly: "Where is the coffin? Have you opened the coffin to see if it is inside? Is it still there?"
He Xun did not expect Xu Yan to ask such a question. After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "I dare not disturb Mr. Yun."
Xu Yan had no expression on his face and said with a cold face: "Get back, thank you for your hard work, you will go there again. This time, I will lift his coffin and take a look! No matter whether it is a human or a ghost inside, I must show it clearly!"
He Xun had never seen Xu Yan as cold as today, and he was stunned for a moment. Then he should have retreated.
Xu Yan was the only one left in the empty hall. She was still standing at the window and looking into the distance, not knowing who she wanted to see in that sky.
"Your Highness, everything is ready. I will inform Your Majesty of preparing for the departure." Chu Qiu stood beside Xu Yan and said respectfully. Then she gave Yingchun a wink behind Xu Yan. While Yingchun stepped forward, she retreated.
Not long after, Xu Yan took her out from Chuqiu. Almost everyone in the palace knew that Chuqiu has replaced Yingchun's position and has become the most trusted personal palace maid around Xu Yan. No matter who sees her, she has to respect her more than before.
Xu Yan watched the palace maids who gave the benefits of early autumn openly and secretly, and did not say anything. But after getting on the carriage, Xu Yan suddenly spoke: "You can walk with Xiazhi and the others for a while in the early autumn. Come on the spring, I have something to say."
Chuqiu didn't expect Xu Yan to suddenly say such words, and looked at Yingchun with some helplessness. After receiving Yingchun's comforting look, she still looked at Yingchun worriedly as she got on Xu Yan's carriage.
On the carriage, Xu Yan and Yingchun sat opposite each other. Neither spoke first, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point. Finally, Xu Yan spoke first: "The fresh ones are interesting at the beginning, but after a long time, I still think that the ones used to be better."
Yingchun was nervous, not knowing whether Xu Yan had discovered anything. Now, hearing what she said, she was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Xu Yan poured a cup of Qingming for Yingchun and herself, and looked at the white mist rising in the cup and continued: "I know you are a smart person, so I don't need me to explain anything more."
Yingchun knew that their plan had been exposed as soon as she heard this. She immediately picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip and replied: "It's just some tricks. I hope your highness won't take it to heart."
Xu Yan gently curled up the corners of her lips and said nothing more. Although she was with a smart person like Yingchun, there were many things to beware of, but more importantly, she had few things to worry about on weekdays. No matter what, Yingchun was still her most satisfying palace maid.
If this matter is solved, then the next thing is...
The carriage moved slowly, and the long line formed a long dragon.
