At night, Huang Chenling quietly came to the Queen Mother's Mausoleum alone. Although this palace was secretly built here by Huang Guiyuan to commemorate her mother, she should come to pay homage before she leaves for the palace tomorrow.
Pillow of incense.
The palace was very quiet. He lit three pillars of incense and bowed, and his mother's paintings were blown by the wind.
"I didn't expect it to be so late. You still remember to come and pay homage to your mother." Huang Guiyuan walked out of the back room.
"Originally, I didn't plan to come, but I don't want to be disrespectful to my mother. Do you have any other instructions when I return to the palace tomorrow? I will follow your instructions to the letter," Huang Chenling said to him.
His attitude was like a puppet on strings, speaking out without emotion.
He did not look at Huang Guiyuan, but looked at his mother's painting to talk to him. Unknown to him, Huang Guiyuan's eyes looked sad at this time.
"Come in and have a cup of tea, and I'll tell you later." Huang Guiyuan said calmly, then turned around and went in first.
Huang Chenling hesitated for a moment before slowly following in.
There is an unfinished painting on the table, which depicts a fairyland in which two jade figures sit with backrests.
Huang Chenling said coldly: "Uncle Huang, he has passed away, and painting these imaginary pictures will not change anything. You'd better not be too obsessed with the past."
Huang Guiyuan leaned over and wanted to add a few more strokes, but the pain in his lower back stopped him from doing so. Instead, he poked his lower back with his hands behind his back and said, "Please help me continue the painting." He did not change what Huang Chenling had just done at all.
What you said is treated as one thing.
"Help? Uncle Emperor, shouldn't you order me directly?" Huang Chenling emphasized this point deliberately.
After Huang Guiyuan heard this, he didn't get angry. He just added: "If your painting is not satisfactory to me, there is no need to send her the antidote tomorrow night. But if your painting is very good, give it to her."
Give me half an extra antidote."
As soon as these words came out, Huang Chenling gritted her teeth, twitched the corners of her mouth, and agreed: "Okay."
For Yan Ruocheng's half antidote, Huang Chenling picked up the brush and concentrated on helping him draw.
Huang Guiyuan sat quietly on the big bed at the back and slowly lay down to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, Huang Chenling finally completed the painting.
Huang Guiyuan was sleeping on the bed and had not yet woken up. Huang Chenling stretched his body and looked sideways at the person sleeping on the bed.
Most of the quilt slowly fell to the ground. When he saw it, he wanted to turn around and leave, but when he reached the third step, he felt soft-hearted and turned back. He went over to help Huang Guiyuan cover the quilt. After a closer look, Huang Guiyuan
Guiyuan's hair was a little messy on his forehead, and there were some gray hairs. He also looked older.
He couldn't help but reach out to pull back the white hair and help Huang Guiyuan tidy up her hair.
Squeak! There was a sound of the wooden door opening from outside, and someone came in.
He stopped, stood up and went out to take a look.
Yun Xi quietly looked around, and she found that Huang Guiyuan was not in the study, nor in the dormitory. She learned from the guards that when he came here, he came over here.
"What are you doing?" Huang Chenling asked.
"See Your Majesty, my subordinates came here to find the Emperor." Yun Xi said directly.
"Uncle Huang, you are still sleeping soundly. You can go back and come back later." Huang Chenling said as she walked over.
Yunxi looked at the hanging paintings and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, may I dare to ask whose mausoleum is here?"
"Didn't you come here after you found out?" Huang Chenling asked.
"I only asked the guard, who said that the emperor must have gone to the forbidden palace over there. I sneaked in over the wall," Yun Xi explained.
"This can be considered one of the mausoleums of my mother and queen." Huang Chenling said simply.
After Yunxi heard this, he bowed his head politely towards the painting.
Huang Chenling looked at Yun Xi's appearance carefully, and compared it with his mother's painting. Her eyes were somewhat similar, especially her profile, which looked even more similar. Gradually, a good idea came to his mind.
"Miss Yun, I thought of a good way to get the antidote faster."
"any solution?"
"You have been with the emperor's uncle recently. Do you feel that he is particularly kind to you?"
"I can't say it's friendly, I just think it's a little extra good. Why? Your Majesty, do you know something?"
"The answer lies in my mother's paintings."
Huang Chenling pretended not to, and waved her finger at the painting portrait in front of her.
Yun Xi looked at the painting and scratched his head in confusion.
An hour later, Huan was in Huang Chenling's study, waiting for his return.
"How come you guys came back together?" He couldn't help but ask when he saw Huang Chenling taking Yun Xi in with her.
"There are some things I need you to discuss." Huang Chenling said directly.
"What happened?" Huan asked.
"You can find a way to help her put on the exact same makeup as this painting." Huang Chenling handed the painting in her hand to him for a look.
"Who is this?" Huan opened his eyes and asked.
"You don't have to worry about this. Just do what I say." Huang Chenling didn't tell him the reason, but just told him to do it.
Huang Chenling continued: "I will set off back to the palace in the afternoon, and I will leave the rest to Miss Yun. I will obey Miss Yun's orders."
"Me? I want to listen to her. Why?" Huan pointed at Yunxi and looked at Huang Chenling, expressing dissatisfaction and confusion.
"There is no reason. This is the order I gave." Huang Chenling said arrogantly.
"I won't do it! It's so shameless to ask me, a leader, to obey my new subordinates for no reason!" Huan threw the portrait to Yun Xi, crossed his arms and said angrily.
Huang Chenling knew that he would say this, and said: "Since you feel embarrassed to be the leader, then let her be the leader for the time being, and you can just change your positions."
"How can this be done!" Huan disagreed even more. Huang Chenling was a little angry.
Wang Xiulin suddenly came in and interrupted their conversation, saying: "Brother Chen Ling, our luggage is completely packed. We can set off early. We don't have to wait until the afternoon."
"Okay, I'll come right away." Huang Chenling said to Wang Xiulin with a smile and started to leave.
"This, this..." Huan was a little at a loss. He stared at Huang Chenling eagerly and left like this.
"Stop it, and listen to me obediently from now on. Do you understand?" Yun Xi walked over to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said proudly.
"I understand you! Tell me, how did you force him to do this to me? And what's going on with this painting?" Huan kept asking her.
"As your leader now, I don't have to answer so many of your questions. You just need to obey my orders obediently. You taught me this way before, have you forgotten?" Yun Xi held his hands behind his back.
, said easily.
"Ghosts come to obey your orders, huh!" Huan said with a serious face as he was about to leave.
"Uh, uh, don't just walk away angrily. The next thing needs our cooperation to complete. Don't ask so many questions. I promise the Lord not to tell you. This is his secret." Yun Xi said quickly.
She held his arm and said in explanation.
"It's a secret that can't be told to anyone. If you don't tell me, I won't help." Huan narrowed his eyes and stared at her and said.
"I really can't say, anyway, these are none of your business. You might as well think about how to help me transform into this person." Yun Xi shook his head and said.
"If you don't say anything, pull her down. Don't ask me for help." Huan continued to pretend to be stern, trying to shake her off and leave.
Yun Xi had no choice but to let go of her hand. He didn't expect her to let go so quickly. He staggered forward a few steps.
"If I don't ask for your help, I'm afraid I have to go back and find my senior brother." Yun Xi pretended to hold his cheek and said.
After Huanqi walked a few steps, he said, "I'm not leaving yet. Now I'm going to buy some tools for disguise. Do you want to come back after dark?"
"Hehe, I knew you would be obedient." Yunxi jumped up happily, lying on his back, wrapping her arms around his neck, and said playfully.
"Come down, I don't want to carry you on my back."
"I am the leader and I order you to carry me on your back."
"Don't even think about it!"
"I just want you to carry me."
The two of them walked out playfully.
In the carriage, in addition to Huang Chenling and Wang Xiulin, there was another person, Huang Fanyi.
Huang Fan'e needed to go back to the palace to see the imperial doctor for a check on his neck. Today his neck hurt more than before. He originally didn't want to go back with him, but Wang Xiulin forced him to follow him back to the palace, saying that he would be responsible for his neck.
"Fan'er, is your neck okay?" Huang Chenling looked at his neck that was fixed straight and asked involuntarily.
"Brother Imperial, I'm fine. It's just a little painful." Huang Fan'er said indifferently.
"How did you get injured?" Huang Chenling asked curiously.
Wang Xiulin showed an unnatural expression and glanced at Huang Fanyi.
"It was just caused by falling off the bed accidentally while sleeping." Huang Fan'er lied nonsense. He promised Wang Xiulin not to tell, so naturally he would not tell Huang Chenling.
"Then you have to be careful when you rest."
"Yes."
Huang Chenling squinted at the scenery outside the window, silently wondering how Yan Ruocheng was doing now.
In Huang Fengmo's mansion.
"Mother, I have finished reading the Three Character Classic and written the name of this medicinal material thirteen times. Can I go fly a kite?" Xiaoling completed the small task assigned to him by Yan Ruocheng and said happily to Yan Ruocheng.
"Okay, why don't you help my mother pick out the medicinal materials?" Yan Ruocheng said as he picked up the medicinal materials.
Xiao Ling saw that she still had two big baskets to pick, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to finish them all until dark. The weather was rare and windy today, so it would be a waste if she didn't fly the kite.
"Mom, I support you mentally, you go ahead and pick it up. I'm going to play!" Xiao Ling shot out with an arrow.
"I just love to play." Yan Ruocheng muttered to himself helplessly.
"It is a child's nature to be playful, so you might as well come over and accompany me." Huang Fengmo heard her talking to herself and said. The guard slowly pushed him in the wheelchair from outside the door.
"Your Highness, I have been with you all morning, and you are coming to see me so soon. I also want to pick some medicinal herbs first." Yan Ruozhen said with a smile.
"When you moved here, you just loved staying here at the pharmacy. You should have stayed by my side all day." Huang Fengmo said somewhat boredly.
"Okay, let's go back to the room and do mugwort acupuncture."
"Are you doing mugwort acupuncture again? How many times a day."
In the past few days, Yan Ruozhen stayed with Huang Fengmo, doing acupuncture, or going to the pharmacy to study new medicinal pills.
"If you don't do acupuncture, we will try other treatments. It will always be good for your injury."
"Okay, okay."
Although she had good intentions, Huang Fengmo felt that she was suffering because her treatment method was too torturous.
