"You are the only one who is sick. If I treat you better, just say that I am sick. It's true!" Huan returned to his usual attitude and said.
"Well, this has become normal. Tell me, do you have something to ask for, or have you done something bad, please forgive me?" Yun Xi touched his head and said with a smile.
"You! Okay, I'm only nice to you because you're tired. That's all right. If you keep guessing like that, I won't spoil you anymore. Is my cooking so unpalatable?" Huan finished.
, pick up the chopsticks and have a taste of your own craftsmanship.
"You haven't tasted it, so it's just served on the plate?"
"At most, everything has a stronger flavor, so it won't be unpalatable."
"Did you say it tastes bad? It's just not delicious, but for your sake, I like it very much."
Yun Xi happily kissed the side of his face. After that, the two chatted happily.
In the imperial study room of the palace, Huang Chenling read the secret letter sent by Huang Fengmo. Knowing that the tribe members had been captured by the Westerners, she called a few generals in charge there to come over and discuss the matter further.
"Your Majesty, if the Westerners captured the tribe's people, they would be transported to the big ship on the coast. There is no sign of them on the nearby mountains." General Zhang said.
"To save them, we must send people into the big ship to explore the situation." General Li suggested.
"Then what kind of troops should be sent? Now that they are so strict, what do you two think?" Huang Chenling asked.
"Dark guards or shadow guards. I'm afraid it won't work as a soldier. Once the disguise fails and is discovered, you will be arrested. Only night shadow guards can sneak in without anyone noticing." General Zhang said.
"The problem is that their big ship is so far away in the middle of the sea, and the Night Shadow guards are not good at swimming. Besides, if you use a small boat to get closer, it will be easy to be discovered if you swim over. This method is not feasible." General Li disagreed.
The solution failed, and the three people reached a deadlock in their discussions.
"Wouldn't it be enough to sneak into the ship and perform like a Persian girl? I heard that the ship is carrying big business tourists from the West and is short of performers." Silver Shadow brought in and said.
"Concubine Yin Mu, why do you know this?" Huang Chenling asked.
"I came back after asking about it." Yinying said simply.
"Is this news reliable? Even the Shadow Guards have no statement on this matter." General Zhang asked doubtfully.
"Of course it's reliable. It's not reliable. Why did I come here to say something?" Silver Shadow said.
"Ying Fei, if this happens, it's good, but will it be a trap to lure our soldiers over and then use it as a threat? Besides, even if we rescue those tribesmen, we don't know how to take them with us.
Escape." General Li said analytically.
"What the two generals said makes sense. Let's put this matter aside for the time being. Wait and see what news there is before making any plans. Generals, please retire first," Huang Chenling asked.
"Okay, Your Majesty, Silver Concubine, let us take our leave first." The two generals bowed and left.
After the people walked away, Yinying continued: "It was Ruo Li's sworn brother Xian Jianlu who told me. I met him on the street when I left the palace, and he told me about it. He is now talking to
A Western businesswoman is hanging around, this news is credible."
"Master, I didn't say I didn't believe it. There were just two generals here. I couldn't be too biased. I only said this if I wanted to be fair." Huang Chenling explained in her usual tone.
"You are an emperor who has done quite well. There is one more thing I want to tell you." Silver Shadow walked to the chair next to him and sat down and said.
"Anything else?" Huang Chenling asked.
"Originally, I didn't want to meddle in other people's business. It was about your queen. I saw something I shouldn't have seen. Do you want me to tell you?" Silver Shadow said.
"You want to talk about what happened between her and Fan Ye?" Huang Chenling guessed most of it after listening.
"It seems that you have known it for a long time. Being so calm means that it doesn't matter." Silver Shadow said.
"Master, just pretend that you can't see it. I don't want the matter to get bigger, and I don't want my father to know about it. Let them get along with each other naturally. I also hope that Xiulin can get true happiness. Don't waste your youth anymore.
On me." Huang Chenling said seriously.
"That's right. After all, your heart is with the stupid maid. I'm just saying it. I won't tell anyone, so don't worry. Your father is worrying about dragon veins every day, and he doesn't even think about food and drinks all day long.
.I’m not in the mood to have anything to do with your feelings." Yinying said.
"Well, master, just watch him carefully and don't let my father get exhausted." Huang Chenling said.
"I will. But you look even more haggard than him now, a bit older." Yinying said unintentionally.
After hearing this, Huang Chenling reacted greatly. She hurriedly picked up the mirror hidden in the dark space of the desk and took it out to take a look at her handsome face.
"No wonder the stupid maid used to say that you were too fond of beauty. It seems that she was right." Yin Ying chuckled and said sarcastically.
"I'm afraid that I have gray hair. During this period, I have a lot more gray hair on my head. If I continue like this, I'm afraid that I will become old and Ruocheng will see her and make her worry." Huang
Chen Ling said worriedly.
"Everyone will grow old. It is normal to have gray hair. However, your father and I practice martial arts. They are strong, know how to live a good life, and know how to take care of themselves. That's why they look so young." Silver Shadow said.
As he spoke, he became boastful.
Huang Chenling said boringly: "Master, are you comforting me or stepping on me? You know so many maintenance methods, but you don't teach me any of them."
"How to teach you, I go to bed on time every day, but you just look at the memorial and see the darkness, then dawn, then take a short rest, and then continue to repeat the cycle. It's weird that you don't have gray hair. If the stupid maid is here
, she can also help you recuperate. Now you can ask Dr. Li to prescribe tonics. But it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. Disciple, please work harder. Tomorrow will be better. Ha, after saying so much,
I'm a little sleepy too, go and rest while you work." Silver Shadow yawned, got up and left.
Huang Chenling slowly looked in the mirror alone and touched a few white hairs on both sides of his forehead, which made him extremely depressed. Indeed, if Yan Ruocheng was around, he would never appear so white.
Fa. When he thought about it, the imperial brother now had Yan Ruocheng all to himself, and he began to feel very uncomfortable. There was no attachment to the secret letter just now, so he should at least say something about Yan Ruocheng's mother and son.
The more he thought like this, the more stuffy his heart became. He didn't know if it was because of thinking too much, but he felt tightness and pain in his chest. He pressed his heart and breathed slowly again.
"Ruozhi, it would be nice if you were here."
At this time, Yan Ruocheng also suddenly felt the tail of his right eye twitching.
"Hmm! No way, the end of the right eye is twitching?" She pressed her right eye and muttered to herself.
"What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable in your eyes?" Huang Fengmo asked worriedly.
Yan Ruocheng was massaging his legs on the bed.
"No, my right eyelid suddenly jumped. Could something bad happen?" Yan Ruocheng said worriedly.
"Don't be so superstitious. How could it be possible? You haven't slept very well these past few days. You snore and grind your teeth at night." Huang Fengmo said with a smile.
"Scared, I snore and grind my teeth while sleeping? Isn't it possible?" Yan Ruocheng said.
"It's true, I've been woken up by you several times, and it's only happened recently. Have I put you under a lot of pressure recently?" Huang Fengmo instead thought that it was her own fault that made her sleep poorly.
Yan Ruocheng shook his head violently and said: "No, of course it's not my husband's fault. Maybe it's because I'm uneasy and I'm too worried about Chen Ling. A few days ago, I heard people on the street talking about whether the Holy Emperor was okay.
Regarding the matter of going to court, I also know that it may be that the people are gossiping and gossiping, and they always have a bad feeling in their hearts."
"Don't worry, with Imperial Physician Li and other imperial physicians in the palace, Chen Ling will definitely not have any physical problems. Don't think too much about it. On the contrary, I think the more you think like this, the more bad luck will come to haunt him.
." Huang Fengmo patted her little hand and said comfortingly.
"Yes, I can't continue to think like this. Otherwise it will really happen. Bah, bah! It will never happen." Yan Ruozhen nodded and continued to massage slowly.
At night, Yan Ruozhen was afraid that her snoring and teeth grinding would wake up Huang Fengmo, so she slept with Xiao Ling.
"Mom, why didn't dad write me a letter? At least he should reply with one word." Xiao Ling asked quietly.
"Your father is busy with official duties and doesn't reply a word. It's normal. I used to have a tacit understanding with your father. That is, you don't need to reply to letters. This means that everything is fine and you don't have to worry about the other." Yan Ruocheng was talking nonsense.
said.
"This kind of tacit understanding is too strange. What if something happens to the other party?" Xiao Ling asked.
"We trust each other and nothing will happen. So don't think too much. Maybe your father will send someone over with a message. That person is still on the way and hasn't arrived yet. Go to sleep quickly and stop talking, mother.
I'm so tired." Yan Ruocheng went from talking nonsense to fooling around, and closed his eyes, preparing to fall asleep.
"Yeah." Xiaoling also fell asleep.
While sleeping until midnight, Yan Ruocheng had a strange nightmare.
In her dream, she dreamed of Huang Chenling lying on the table with her hands on her chest, as if she couldn't breathe. She was about to run over, but some force grabbed her feet. She moved.
No, she wanted to call him loudly, but he couldn't hear her. Looking at Huang Chenling's dying appearance, she struggled desperately, shouting even though she was hoarse.
This dream was so vivid that she woke up suddenly.
She gasped for air, touched the cold sweat on her forehead, comforted herself, and said to herself: "Fortunately it was a dream, not real. Why did I have such an unlucky dream? Bah... Bah! Good luck!
"
An inexplicable nightmare knocked all her sleepiness away. She got up quietly, went to the window, and looked up at the dark clouds in the sky. There were not a single star tonight, let alone a trace of the moon. There was still a strong wind blowing outside.
The cold night wind.
Is there really something wrong with his health? This thought occupied Yan Ruocheng's whole mind, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
