When the first ray of sunlight from Jinshu Palace shone into the room, it was already Qingming Day. Su Yan woke up groggily and saw a group of imperial doctors and maids gathered around his feet. His eyes slowly moved to the other side, where Wei Zhen was already asleep
, resting on her pillow, but his eyelids trembled slightly, telling her that Wei Zhen was not asleep.
Seeing that the Queen had woken up, Eunuch Cheng'en did not dare to wake up His Majesty, so he winked at the imperial physician beside him. The imperial physician immediately went over with a jade pillow for diagnosing pulses, covered Su Yan's wrist with a silk handkerchief, and placed it on the jade pillow.
He lay on the pillow and felt his pulse quietly. After a while, the imperial doctor smiled happily and lowered his voice and said: "The pulse is stable, there is no serious problem." Eunuch Cheng'en showed his face and nodded with a smile, indicating that he could go down. The imperial doctor took back the jade pillow and took the
Following a group of imperial doctors, they exited the dormitory.
Su Yan suddenly thought of his master and hurriedly asked Eunuch Chengen, but he didn't expect that Eunuch Chengen didn't understand. Instead, he woke up Wei Zhen. His first reaction was to check Su Mo's wrist and asked her urgently, "It still hurts."
"?" Su Yan shook his head, and then asked, "Did the assassin force you to do anything?" Su Yan shook his head again, and Wei Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as it's okay, it's okay."
Su Yan asked guiltily: "Has the assassin been caught?"
Wei Zhenjing was very annoyed when she mentioned it, "Let him run away."
Su Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then felt the pain from the wound on his neck, and frowned, "Is my wound... very deep?"
"I almost hurt my meridians. If it hadn't been for Dr. Zhong's immediate medical attention, I might have lost too much blood and endangered my life. Fortunately, you're fine."
Su Yan smiled dryly and said, "Where's Amin?"
Just as he was talking about Ah Yu, a voice from outside responded: "Ah Yu is here! Your Majesty won't let the slaves in, saying that the slaves will wake up the queen. Please say something to the queen!"
Su Yan was worried that she would talk nonsense again, so she refused. Wei Zhen smiled and said, "This girl is heartless and sincere. My uncle was indeed foresighted at the beginning."
Su Yan was stung by his words, "My father is very worried about me, but I can no longer make him worry. Can I allow my father to leave?"
Wei Zhen's smile suddenly collapsed, but then he thought of the imperial doctor's instructions, suppressed the anger in his chest, and said softly: "Uncle is not only the biological brother of the Queen Mother, but also my current father-in-law. He is the uncle of the state.
I won’t treat him badly, but now is really not the time. When the time comes, I will allow him to leave.”
Su Yan felt angry and bitter in his heart, and his bloodshot eyes filled with tears. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Are you still unwilling? I have already entered the palace, are you still worried?"
Wei Zhen opened his mouth to explain, but Su Yan turned his head inward and stubbornly bit his lip to prevent tears from showing.
Eunuch Cheng'en looked at them with a troubled face, and shook his head helplessly, "Your Majesty, you are tired after watching all night. Go back and rest."
Su Yan looked at him in surprise, only to find that his face was full of exhaustion, his hair was unkempt, and his clothes were still the same as yesterday. He couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart. Wei Zhen said happily: "
I'm fine, I just didn't sleep a wink all night. I remember when I returned from Liangshan to Ruoshui, I didn't feel tired even after riding for three days and three nights. Cheng'en, you underestimated me too much!"
"Yes, yes, your Majesty has a strong body, but this servant is worrying too much." Eunuch Cheng'en smiled humbly and bent down.
Su Yan wanted to sit up, but Wei Zhen helped her up considerately, and stuffed two pillows behind her back. Although Su Yan was still angry, Wei Zhen felt somewhat sorry that she had not slept a wink all night.
"You go back, there is Imam here."
"I don't trust you. I'd better wait until you feel better before going back." Without waiting for Su Yan to politely refuse, he immediately ordered Eunuch Chengen: "From now on, the memorial will be sent directly to Jinshu Palace. If there is any notification, everyone will wait in the front hall without disturbing you."
Queen."
"As commanded."
"The queen is injured. Please tell her to go down and ask the people below to be more careful." He thought for a while and quickly added, "Let Amin serve alone, and the others should not come near."
Eunuch Cheng'en glanced at Ah Min who was jumping up and down excitedly outside the door, smiled and bowed, "I obey."
Wei Zhen held Su Mo's hand gently, as if asking her, "Does what I arranged suit you?"
Su Yan really felt that he was a little too concerned, so much that it made her feel uneasy. She vaguely felt that Wei Zhen was suppressing his inner emotions and that he was trying his best to cover up his feelings. The more he did this, the sadder she became. For her, he took a step forward
She gave in and tolerated, but what she got was approaching and sarcastic remarks with other intentions. Su Yan really wanted to get along with him calmly, but no matter how, the Zuo Qing in her heart always appeared, making her act thorny in front of him without any precautions.
side, which hurt him severely every time.
If this continues, Wei Zhen's dark emotions will one day condense into a raging fire and destroy everything around him.
These thoughts were deeply rooted in his mind and became more and more serious. He was very afraid of seeing the completely different and dark Wei Zhen. At this time, she was horrified to realize that the memory of Wei Zhen in front of her had gradually blurred. She
It is difficult to overlap him with brother Wei Zhen in memory, let alone recall Xilou from his face, even though they have a very similar face. That high-spirited young man is now just an emperor who is good at playing tricks.
, ruthless and vicious, making courtiers intimidated, making people respect and fear her, making her full of strangeness...
Su Yan raised her eyes and looked outside the door. The chrysanthemums in the yard were fluttering, and a thin layer of petals had accumulated under the vermilion pillars. It was nothing at all, but at this time she felt uncomfortable, thinking of Wei Zhen's
Changes, Zuo Qing's departure made me feel sad for a moment.
"Chrysanthemums... In Chu State, chrysanthemums are used for memorial purposes. Every Qingming Festival, I will pick a bunch to pay homage to my mother who died young across thousands of mountains and rivers."
Wei Zhen was a little surprised. He had not thought that Su Yan grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone that chrysanthemums were used in this way. He hurriedly explained: "I will replace them tomorrow and let people plant some festive ones!"
Su Yan shook his head: "Why bother, the chrysanthemums are not bad." The wind blew open the window, and Su Yan saw beyond the pavilions, in the middle of the endless lake, there seemed to be a different courtyard, towering on the stone beach.
She looked a little strange. Wei Zhen followed her gaze and realized what Su Yan was looking at. He said to her: "Over there is Concubine Qi, the recently adopted concubine..."
Su Yan was a little surprised, but he just said casually that you have accepted a concubine, which aroused Wei Zhen's excited reaction. He hurriedly explained, "His father is the Marquis of Zhenyuan and has been guarding the East China Sea. After I ascended the throne, he rushed back immediately to help me."
I eliminated the hidden dangers and eliminated the remaining Mo Fei gang." Wei Zhen stared at her face nervously, "Don't mind, Marquis Zhenyuan just wants to marry the royal family. As for what will happen to this daughter after entering the palace, he
I don’t care, I have never set foot in her yard!”
Su Yan didn't mind at all, and he didn't even care who he accepted. Besides, it was normal for the emperor to have concubines. As a queen, she should be tolerant. She should even persuade the emperor to have more concubines, give birth to more heirs, and spread the branches of the royal family.
Ye, this is the style of a mother of a country. But the so-called queen style is based on the fact that Su Yan does not love Wei Zhen at all, so no matter how many concubines Wei Zhen has and how many children she has, she will always be calm.
, don’t take it seriously.
Su Yan said perfunctorily: "So that's it. It's a good thing for you to have a concubine. Something happy should happen in the palace."
Wei Zhen's face suddenly became terrifyingly quiet, and ice could almost form in his eyes.
"I will never take another concubine. Apart from you and Concubine Qi, I will not let any woman step into the harem in the future." After saying that, she turned and left. Su Yan looked at his retreating back, feeling calm in her heart. She
I think, if Wei Zhen were replaced by Zuo Qing, she would never say this.
However, if it were her brother Wei Zhen or Xilou, she would not have said these hurtful words... Since when did the distance between her and him become wider and wider, and the friendship between this distance was diluted
There is almost no trace of it, and the remaining alienation, disgust, and fear are like scales, deeply cutting off the care between the two.
Su Yan felt uncomfortable sitting all over. He wanted to lie down, but the pillow was stuck on his back and he couldn't move. Just when he was about to reach out and pull out the pillow, something the size of a little finger suddenly slipped out of his sleeve. It looked very familiar at first glance, so he quickly picked it up carefully.
Recognizing that this was Zuo Qing's special messenger bamboo tube, she hurriedly opened the lid and took out the letter paper, read it twice from beginning to end, and shouted excitedly, "Amo!"
Ah Yu stumbled in and looked at her nervously, "What are your orders?"
Su Yan pointed at the table excitedly, "Quick, pen!"
Ah Yu rushed over as quickly as possible, grabbed the pen and rushed to Su Yan's bed. Su Yan looked at the pen in her hand anxiously, "There is no paper and ink!" Ah Yu patted his thigh and rushed back to dip in ink.
He pulled out a piece of paper and rushed back, placing it on the coffee table.
The letter was not written by Zuo Qing himself. He left with pain, so how could he miss her? Even if he did, he would not write and send her. This letter was written and sent by Yan Sheng.
Everything in it is Zuo Qing’s current situation.
Su Yan lay on the coffee table and wrote:
I haven't seen you for many days, and I was very worried about you in the palace. I finally feel relieved to know that you have arrived in Hongji Town. Everything is fine with me, don't miss me.
Su Yan finished writing the letter and checked it carefully. When the ink was dry, he rolled it up and stuffed it into a bamboo tube and handed it to Amin. He solemnly said: "This is an important thing. No one can see it except you. Take it to Changsun Mansion."
, hand it over to Chang Sun Yue. By the way, in order to hide it from others, when you go, take a food box with you and take the cakes delivered from the imperial kitchen today. Remember, the letter must be hidden well. The guards at the palace gate will check the food box. If
They insisted on asking why they were leaving, so they said that the Queen had not seen the eldest grandson for a long time and missed her very much. Since it was inconvenient to visit, they sent them meals in the palace as a token of their affection. They hoped that the eldest grandson would be able to visit the palace after eating the cakes. They were very happy.
Glad. Do you know?"
Ah Fu looked at this small bamboo tube curiously and said happily: "This is the first big thing that Ah Fu and the empress do, and Ah Fu will definitely do it well!"
Su Yan smiled happily and said, "Go ahead."
Imam played with the bamboo tube in the sunshine for a while, put it in his sleeve pocket with satisfaction, and then left.
Su Yan lowered his head and looked at the letter, but he couldn't remember when this letter fell into his sleeve. He thought it was probably when he met his master.
Su Yan looked at the letter and couldn't help but smile with relief.
Zuo Qing is slowly approaching the peaceful life he has always expected. After more than ten years of thorny and bloody journey, only the last section is left, and he finally sees the other side.
She wanted to tell Zuo Qing the truth in the letter just now. She was afraid that Zuo Qing would be unable to bear the repeated stimulation, but then she thought of Zuo Qing's stubbornness and was worried that he would return it to death, so she immediately gave up the idea and left.
There is still hope, there is only one dead end to come back, so of course I choose the former.
The petals were still flying, more and more, and the garden was full of fragrance, refreshing. She thought that the neighbor opposite should go and visit.
