Master Juechan wanted to ask Rongruo what was wrong, but he hesitated to say anything. Xianghe turned back, fanned her and said, "I'm afraid the shoulder bag can't be repaired. Master, we have to wait for a while."
"
"Understood." Mrs. Juechan responded softly and unconsciously tightened the cuffs where the letter was hidden. Cao Yinze bowed and said, "I have to go elsewhere to check the security. My lord, please wait for a moment. The new shoulder bag is here."
It will be delivered soon."
Jue Chan nodded, his eyes wandering elsewhere. He didn't see how Cao Yin left. Not long after, a new shoulder carriage arrived, and the group hurried back to Xianfu Palace. When they entered, she said to Xiang He
: "I'm probably suffering from heatstroke. I'm dizzy and nauseous. You go back to the imperial concubine and tell me to go back and rest."
Xianghe quickly asked the other maids to help her master go back, and went back to Concubine Wen. When she came back, she saw her master leaning on the kang, so he gave her a pill of human elixir to eat. He was going to fan her with a fan, but Jue Chan
Waving his hand: "I feel dizzy because of the wind. You can go and take a rest. I'll just take a rest quietly."
Xianghe knew that her master liked to be quiet and looked good, so they all left. Juechan stayed alone for a while. Hearing no more movement outside, he was sure that Concubine Wen would not come, so he quietly took it out and put it away.
Letter in the cuff.
Unfolding the letter paper, it was a three-page thick letter. The familiar handwriting was definitely written by Rong Ruo, but as Cao Yin said, he seemed to have written it when he was drunk. The strokes were less calm than before and more impetuous.
There was an aura of anxiety, and every word he talked about what he had seen and heard in the past few years. It seemed like an ordinary letter, but the more he looked back, the worse his face became. Tears gathered in his eyes, as if they would come at any time.
fall.
When Xianghe came in again, she smelled the smell of fireworks in the house and saw her master looking at the incense burner blankly. The burnt in the burner was mosquito repellent incense. It shouldn't smell like this. Xianghe came closer.
Look, those full ashes seemed to be burning some kind of paper. She asked uneasily, and Jue Chan replied softly: "I burned some poems I wrote last night for fear that they would spread and cause trouble. I will keep them in my heart."
good."
Xianghe then started to clean it up. She held the incense burner as if nothing had happened and asked the maid to clean it. However, she didn't know that her master was staring at her. When she came back, she muttered: "I heard that the emperor loves you."
Recite poems and write poems, hey..."
Similar words, Xianghe would say almost every few days, she was still looking forward to the noble Lord Jue Chan to regain the holy favor, but when she met a master who was so heartbroken, it was all in vain for her to worry.
"I'm tired." Mrs. Juechan slowly got up and sat on the bed. She put down the gauze curtain in broad daylight and didn't mind the heat. Seeing her like this, Xianghe thought she was really uncomfortable and asked if she wanted to call a doctor. Finally,
She exited alone, went to the door and sighed with other sisters, "When summer is over, time will go faster, and it will be another year before our eyes."
Time is the fairest thing in the world, but it varies from person to person. Like Xianghe, time flies by, while some people feel that time flies by. Nowadays, life in the Yonghe Palace is very difficult. Concubine De is not only fed by the maids but also fed with medicine.
Apart from talking a lot, she almost didn't respond to anything in the outside world. Bu Guiren came to take care of her and talk to her every day, but no one could impress her. Even the imperial doctor showed her, and only said that Concubine De was weak except that she didn't eat enough.
Some people have no symptoms, but their dementia is caused by heart disease.
The emperor came a few times, but every time he walked outside the bedroom, he stopped. He often stood there for half an hour, then turned around and left. He only told the maids and eunuchs to take good care of Concubine De. Huanchun and the others wished that the emperor could come in. Looking at the master, no one dared to persuade him. Just looking at the emperor standing in a daze like that, I knew that he was more troubled than anyone else.
As May is about to pass, the emperor is about to drive to Shengjing. The palace has been prepared. However, it seems that because of the sixth elder brother's matter, the emperor will not take a single harem with him on this trip, and all the women have given up. .As for the accompanying bodyguard, it was supposed to be Nalan Rongruo's bodyguard, but he reported illness a few days ago, so Cao Yin took over all responsibilities. Today he came to see him at his private residence. Firstly, he wanted to ask how to arrange some things in the itinerary. Okay, while the two of them are visiting the doctor, they should tell him that the letter has been delivered.
But Cao Yin never expected that the brother he saw when he came to the private house was already in a high fever, sleeping and unable to speak. Shen Wan was haggard and pale, and said with tears: "I came back smelling of alcohol that day, and I had a fever at night, please." The doctor came to see me and found that even after taking medicine for a few days, I was not feeling better."
Cao Yin was worried: "Does Nalan Mansion know about it?"
Shen Wan turned away and said nothing.
"The illness is serious. Even if you don't tell your family, you should come to me." Cao Yin shook his head repeatedly, turned around and asked his men to find a good doctor, and went to Nalan Mansion to report the matter in person. After hearing this, Mrs. Mingzhu, They didn't dare to disturb the daughter-in-law who was having an abortion, so she personally brought people and a car to take her son home.
As soon as she entered the door and saw Rong Ruo being extremely ill, she was so distressed that she couldn't hold back her tears. Then she saw Shen Wan standing by the side with a depressed look on her face. She suddenly became furious and rushed up to slap her in the face. The protective cover on her little finger The nail scratched sharply across her cheek, leaving a long and shocking blood mark.
"Bitch! Don't let me see you again, don't come near my son again, or I will kill you." Madam Mingzhu was so angry that everyone carefully carried Rongruo out, and Madam Mingzhu even took her grandson away by force. , Shen Wan was pinned down in the room by several women, unable to struggle at all.
The group of people quickly went home and invited the imperial doctor from the palace to take a look, but Mrs. Mingzhu never expected that the imperial doctor actually shook his head at her, "Madam, if you are prepared, everything depends on fate."
The young lady who came running after hearing the commotion at home heard the words of the imperial doctor when she entered the door. She was so frightened that her legs became weak and she fell down. Mrs. Yan and the girls beside her tried to persuade the young lady to take care of herself. Madam Mingzhu also cried: "Rong Ruobing Those who can get through it will definitely get through it."
On May 29th, there were still two days left for the emperor to leave Beijing. On this day, he discussed with the ministers about the construction of the Yellow River. Jin Fu, Mingzhu and others were all present. Due to many differences on various matters, various decisions were discussed for a whole day. It gradually became clear, and it was already dusk when they left. Xuan Ye sat in front of the case and closed his eyes to rest. Eunuch Li came in with a bowl of tea and said softly: "Your Majesty, there is news from Mingzhu Mansion. I heard a few words and said it was Nalan." Master Rong Ruo is very ill, I'm afraid it's not going to be good, Master Mingzhu left in a hurry just now."
Xuan Ye opened his eyes slightly, and the coldness in his eyes made Eunuch Li tremble. The emperor asked: "Is he still ill?"
"Back to the emperor, it's right. The people just came in a hurry, and Mingzhu Mingzhu left in a hurry. I'm afraid it's really bad." Eunuch Li didn't dare to look directly into the emperor's eyes anymore. He lowered his head and said, "Ms. Mingzhu also came from the palace before. I invited the imperial doctor, but I heard that several of them came back without success. Counting the days, it has been several days."
Xuan Ye picked up the memorial in front of him and opened it calmly. Eunuch Li saw that the emperor was concentrating on reviewing the memorial, so he turned around and quietly prepared to leave. When he walked to the door, he heard the emperor commanding him from behind: "What does he have?"
If anything happens, come and tell me at any time."
At this moment in Nalan Mansion, Mingzhu rushed home without stopping. After all, Rongruo was his eldest son. Although he often said that his son was not good and treated him coldly in front of his colleagues, Rongruo was indeed his pride. Now he suddenly said that he was sick.
If it doesn't go well, as a father, it will be unbearable after all.
The female family members at home had cried so much that when Mingzhu came back, her son was lying on the bed dying. Rongruo had been beaten by his father when he was young, and occasionally the beatings were severe. Mingzhu felt that his son would not recover, so she stood beside the bed.
After not being close for a long time, Mrs. Mingzhu calmed down beside her and cried: "Master, my son said he has something to tell you."
Mingzhu looked at her, then took a few steps closer, leaning down to look at the days when he was no longer as ill as he was. The handsome young man who was once as gentle as jade no longer existed.
"Rong Ruo." He called.
The person on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes and saw his father. A smile appeared on his lips, and a voice came out of his dry and hoarse throat: "Ama, you are back."
"Take good care of yourself and you will get better. Do you really want to be an unfilial son and let us white-haired people give away black-haired people?" Mingzhu still couldn't help but blame her son, but when she said this, her eyes were already moist.
Nalan Rongruo smiled again. Sure enough, it was his father who wanted to talk to him like this. His cracked and black lips opened and closed slightly, and he said in a very soft voice: "Amma, put it down, let it go.
"
Mingzhu frowned, and her heart was pounding. How could he have thought that his son would discover something he shouldn't have discovered? How could he have expected that his plan to kill the prince would be discovered by his son. Even if he was against his wife Hui
Concubine, he just said that he wanted to find a way to make the prince lose the trust of the emperor and make the prince destroy his future. Except for a few confidants and related people, no one knew what happened in the study that day, and his original intention was not to kill
Sixth brother.
"What did you say?" Mingzhu was worried. He was still not sure what his son was referring to. If it was the reason why the sixth elder brother was poisoned, he was not afraid that his son would know, but he was afraid that his son would tell others if he knew it. At this moment, if he didn't
To make it clear is his eternal worry.
"Amma, I am a filial son. Probably, one life is worth another life." A smile appeared on Rong Ruo's lips, but it seemed to be sarcastic and sarcastic about his father, but even if he was about to die, he could speak kindly.
In the end, I still said, "Amma, let it go."
"Bastard!" Mingzhu understood, became anxious, and wanted to force his son to speak clearly, but his roar irritated Mrs. Mingzhu, who rushed to accuse him, "Master, why don't you force me to death first, son?"
This is already the case, what else do you want?"
The family members also came to persuade Mingzhu, but he was taken away for a while. His wife lay beside the bed and sobbed to comfort her son: "Rong Ruo, please be good, and I will never let him hurt you again."
Rongruo didn't care much about his father's anger. He said all he needed to say. At this moment, he weakly held his mother's hand and said, "Eniang... don't embarrass Shen Wan, let her go."
Mrs. Mingzhu was heartbroken, but she nodded after all.
The next day, it rained heavily all day long. In the afternoon, it became difficult to tell the difference between day and night. He didn’t even know when the sun would set. However, after the rain stopped, the sky did not light up again. At dawn tomorrow, the emperor would set off for Shengdu as scheduled.
Beijing, but there was no lively atmosphere in the palace. In the quiet Forbidden City, Xuan Ye's footsteps walking on the palace road seemed to be carried far and wide.
The little eunuch in front of the Yonghe Palace saw the Holy Emperor coming, and quickly informed him inside. Huan Chun came out to greet him, and said to the emperor differently than before: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty is sitting still in Sixth Brother's house, and she refuses to leave.
