"I don't know this now."
"I don't know? I got an acute illness last night. You don't know yet?"
When he heard Pei Yuanhao's tone was already reproaching, Chang Qing hurriedly knelt down and whispered: "Last night, I only reported it after I went to bed, saying that the imperial concubine suddenly became ill. I hurried over and found the imperial physician. However, when I was about to come and tell the emperor--"
She stopped when she said this.
Looking at her with a look of dismay, Pei Yuanhao didn't get angry, but just frowned.
I sat on the bed and watched the scene of the two of them suddenly quieted down. After thinking about it, I understood that Pei Yuanhao summoned me to this bedroom last night, and it turned out like this. Eunuch Yu and the others did not come in. It was obvious that he issued an order. Since the order was not allowed to come in, it would naturally not allow people to get close to here.
Therefore, no one dared to report Nangong Lizhu's condition.
Pei Yuanhao's face gradually became ugly. He gritted his teeth and suddenly threw the handkerchief in his hand to the ground with hatred: "Bastard!"
Chang Qing immediately knelt down on the ground: "I know my crime!"
...
In fact, this is not her crime, but the emperor will not be wrong, but since there is a mistake, it is naturally not a mistake caused by the emperor to stop others from coming to his bedroom, but a mistake caused by the queen's failure to deliver the message with responsibility.
However, although Pei Yuanhao got angry, he was not right. He gritted his teeth and asked again: "How is the imperial concubine now?"
Chang Qing said: "The concubine was drowsy at first, and asked her, and she just said that it was an old disease and that she would not disturb the imperial physician. I kept guarding her until the evening. At the fifth hour, I suddenly started to feel chills, my whole body was like a piece of ice, and I was talking nonsense, and kept calling the emperor."
“…”
"I have passed on the imperial physician, I have seen it, and I have taken the medicine."
"What about now?"
"And, still asleep."
Pei Yuanhao's face looked even more ugly.
As the queen, Chang Qing naturally needs to be careful when speaking, but it can be heard from her words that Nangong Lizhu's condition is not good and the medicine is poured, which means that she fainted and was ignorant. She is still asleep, which means she has been unconscious.
But, old disease...?
I subconsciously looked up at Pei Yuanhao, but saw that his face was heavy, and even his eyes were dazed for a moment, as if he had remembered something. After a moment, his voice eased a little, but he was a little hoarse, saying, "I know what's going on. It's time to say that all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital went to Yuhua Palace, immediately!"
"yes."
Chang Qing hurriedly got up, but did not go out immediately, but looked at him again.
Pei Yuanhao also stood there without moving, but his eyes looked at me.
Chang Qing followed his gaze and looked at the inner room.
Through the layers of curtains and beaded curtains, I met their eyes.
For a moment, the entire hall seemed to have suddenly frozen. Everyone stopped breathing and no longer had their heartbeat. I sat there blankly, not even knowing what I should do next or say.
There was not much surprise on Chang Qing's face, she just glanced at me, lowered her head, and looked at me again.
At this time, Pei Yuanhao said, "You go first, go quickly."
"I follow the order."
This time, she stopped saying anything, and even stopped stopping, nor looked at me again, turned around and walked out.
Pei Yuanhao also turned around, but walked in.
Just like when I slept whole last night, I didn’t have a decent piece of clothing on my body, and it was still his robe wrapped around me, but I didn’t feel cold. He walked to the bed, looked down at me, reached out and pulled a corner of the robe, and covered my shoulders.
"Don't get cold."
I asked, "The Imperial Concubine's illness--"
"I know what's going on," he said, his eyebrows frowned even more, as if an invisible rock was pressing against his heart, and even his breathing became heavy. He looked at the wonderful words behind me again, and then said, "You have a good rest, go after sleeping. I will continue to let you go."
“…”
I don't speak anymore.
This bedroom is not the place I should stay. As soon as he leaves, I will naturally leave, but there is no need to tell him at this time, but it is just that Nangong Lizhu's affairs surprised me a little.
When Chang Qing first said that, my immediate reaction was that Nangong Lizhu was about to take action.
The reconciliation between me and Pei Yuanhao is not a trivial matter, even if I am not self-deprecating, it is not a trivial matter in this harem. As a person who has fought with me for so many years, she cannot really hope that I will be as enthroned as she shows. The reason why she did that was just to force me out of the palace by using the enthronement and then get a wonderful statement; but if I really reconciled with Pei Yuanhao, if Pei Yuanhao really wanted to enthrone me, she would probably have a headache.
So, of course, she would not let the situation go.
The last time I stayed in the emperor's bedroom, they only started attacking the next morning. With the previous lessons, I think they would not be watching here. Since I left Jingren Palace last night, I am afraid that the empresses in each palace will know that I have come to Pei Yuanhao's place.
So, of course, her illness was the time to be sick.
Surprisingly, Pei Yuanhao actually knew her "old disease".
She is not pretending to be sick.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and Pei Yuanhao had already bent down, kissed my forehead gently, turned around and walked out.
I was still sitting on the bed without moving. After a long time, I slowly pulled the loose robe on my body and wrapped myself tightly.
Nangong Lizhu, is she really sick...?
|
When I brought Miaoyan back to Jingren Palace, I could see the palace maids and eunuchs who were rushing along the way, and several imperial physicians hurriedly ran towards Yuhua Palace with medicine boxes.
Eunuch Yu sighed softly behind me.
Not long after Pei Yuanhao left, I asked him to pick up my clothes, and he took them quickly. I didn't linger at all about the palace and came back with Miaoyan. Actually, I had nothing to do with myself. Just looking at the tense atmosphere around me, Eunuch Yu seemed to be unable to hold on.
When I walked to the gate of Jingren Palace, I stopped and turned around and said to him, "Father-in-law, I have arrived. You should go to Yuhua Palace to serve."
Eunuch Yu looked at me: "Miss, I really don't need a slave to do it anymore-"
"I'm really fine."
Although there was still a bit of discomfort on my body, it was really just a little bit of me compared to some of the wounded pains. The only thing that made me mind was the eyes of the busy palace maids and eunuchs. They saw me coming all the way from the bedroom, and although they didn't say anything, those eyes also made me realize what I was going to bear soon. Thinking of this, Nangong Lizhu's illness came in time. If it weren't for such a fuss, I'm afraid Pei Yuanhao would really propose to enthrone me again. Even if I was stubborn and unbearable, I would definitely have a fight to argue. Now, this will save trouble.
Thinking of this, I relaxed a little bit: "The one who has something to do is the Yuhua Palace. Come over quickly, so that Your Majesty will get angry at that time, I'm afraid you will all be implicated."
Eunuch Yu also understood that even the queen was scolded in the morning, and he did not dare to neglect it. He could only nod at me and called him to leave.
I walked into Jingren Palace with Miaoyan.
After walking a few steps, I subconsciously stopped and looked down at the beautiful words beside me.
Since she woke up in the morning, because there were messes everywhere, although I kept holding her by her hand, I didn’t really feel that something was wrong with her until now.
She is too quiet.
Before, after returning from going to Taimiao to practice the soul-summoning technique, although she was still confused, she had already recovered her former spiritual energy and would call her father and mother. I cannot refuse to admit that the tense atmosphere between Pei Yuanhao and me several times has been eased because of her.
But today, she came all the way, so quiet that it seemed to not exist.
Since she asked me if it was okay last night, I knew that she had recovered a lot compared to the last time. However, looking down at her black eyes, it was still full of inspiration, but unexpectedly, I could see a trace of worry and even sadness.
Why is this happening?
I squatted down and looked straight into her eyes, and said softly: "Miaoyan."
She also turned around and looked at me: "Mom."
"Are you unhappy?"
"..." Silenced for a moment, then shook his head.
That's unhappy.
I reached out and held her shoulder and said softly: "What's wrong, tell me?"
A look of confusion appeared on her little face. She looked down at Bai Xue on the ground, and then looked up at me: "Mom, why isn't Dad by your side?"
“…”
I was speechless all of a sudden.
Unexpectedly, she would ask this.
When she woke up in the morning, she looked very happy when she saw me. Then she started looking left and right, looking at the spacious bedroom, and stopped talking. Now I understand a little, she was looking for Pei Yuanhao.
I thought about it and then said softly: "Your father--"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly said, "No need to say anything, my mother, I understand it."
I was stunned.
"What do you understand?"
“…”
She lowered her head again, not knowing whether it was intentional silence or unintentional squeamishness. After a while, she said softly: "Mom said that Dad is going to give others happiness."
“…”
"He is not by Miaoyan's side, nor by his mother's side. He is by others' side, giving others happiness, right?"
“…”
I was speechless for a moment.
The joke that I had in the past - no, maybe it was not a joke, but a thought that he did not plant the seeds of evil in his heart. As innocent as she would believe so simply and wholeheartedly, but at this moment, she would also feel depressed because of her belief.
Pei Yuanhao is indeed by his side and giving happiness to others, but I never thought that one day, this incident would make her sad.
I immediately reached out and hugged her: "Miaoyan."
She looked up at me, her big eyes were quiet and clear, but it made people feel distressed, and said seriously: "Mom, I'm not sad."
“…”
"Are you sad?"
"...Of course I'm not sad."
"That Miaoyan is even less sad."
“…”
This time, I have no idea what I should say.
Pei Yuanhao is right. Miaoyan is indeed premature. Maybe in my previous experience, I only thought she was smart, but more often, she just joked with her daughter. After she came back after practicing the method of conjuring the soul, she no longer laughed and played, but she really saw a premature maze.
I was still squatting on the ground and looking at her. After a while, Miaoyan looked down at my knees and said softly: "Mom, Miaoyan is cold, are you cold?"
I hurriedly got up and held her hand: "Let's go back first."
She nodded and followed me back.
When we returned to our small yard, Susu and Madam Wu waited for me all night. At this time, when I saw me coming back with Miaoyan, I was relieved. I didn't tell them what happened in the emperor's bedroom last night. I simply told Miaoyan's condition so that they could all feel at ease. A big stone in their hearts fell to the ground.
Then, naturally, it is to wash and eat.
Miaoyan's obvious dullness also attracted the attention of Su Su and the others. She found a gap and said to me quietly: "Miss, is Miss Miaoyan okay? Why doesn't she refuse to speak?"
I looked back at Miaoyan who was silently holding a bowl of porridge and said lightly: "It's okay. Her illness has not been cured yet."
"oh……"
Su Su seemed to be in lingering fear. She could have gone to play with Miaoyan before, but at this time she didn't go and just served quietly.
I sat aside with a little complicated mood. At this time, Madam Wu had already brought a cup of hot tea to my hand.
I looked up at her: "Madam."
“…”
I saw that she wanted to speak but stopped, as if she had something to say or not, and I sighed in my heart, and then said, "I just guarded the wonderful words there last night. The emperor - he did nothing to me, don't worry about nanny."
She nodded.
His eyes were still eager to speak but stopped.
I said again: "I heard that the imperial concubine is sick. Is it true or not?"
"It's true," Madam Wu didn't take much attention to this matter, but only answered seriously: "Several little girls came over and said that the imperial concubine's condition was really a bit dangerous. I heard from the people who served there that she kept calling the emperor and her throat was hoarse."
“…”
At this moment, my throat was also a little hoarse and I couldn't say anything. I lowered my head and took a sip of tea.
Although I knew that I shouldn't think so, I couldn't help but think about it - she called him, even though she was unconscious and unconscious, her voice was hoarse, but he was by my side.
If this is a cause and effect, it only makes me want to smile bitterly.
God, why bother?
I smiled bitterly and said lightly: "Okay, I understand."
After saying this, I picked up the teacup again. Just as I was about to drink it, I saw Madam Wu's face reflected in the tea. She was still standing beside me, still looking eager to speak.
I subconsciously felt something in my heart and looked up at her.
