I don’t know exactly when Chang Qing left.

Except for Taiji Hall, maybe the entire imperial city is in chaos. Not every official clearly sees the emperor's condition. Is he assassinated or something else? Is he comatose now or already--everyone is confused.

I am wondering why when the emperor entered the Taiji Hall, everyone was sent out, leaving only Jixian Zhengzi waiting inside, everyone is also guessing.

At this time, it is natural to need a country to stabilize people's hearts.

And I was sitting on the edge of the bed so numbly that I didn't even know where I was. I just felt that everything around me was so blurry.

In a daze, I saw a slender, pale, ghost-like woman sitting there helplessly in the huge Tai Chi Hall, as if she wanted to sit there until the end of time.

When I look at her, I’m looking at myself.

I don’t know how long it took, but I came out of that nightmare-like scene in a daze. I don’t know what time it was. I just felt that my body was bone-chilling, my hands and feet had no strength at all, and I was so numb that it felt like it didn’t belong to me.<

/p>

When I raised my head, I met a pair of calm but bright eyes.

I don't know when, Pei Yuanhao woke up, and he just kept lying on the bed, calmly looking at me who was standing by the bed.

In the Tai Chi Hall, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

I lowered my head in a daze, and then I saw that his hand had let go of the corner of my clothes at some point, and I was still sitting here stupidly, guarding.

He also lowered his eyes and looked at the corner of his clothes that was torn apart by my force. The two of them were so calm that they didn't say a word, really because they had nothing to say.

I slowly stood up and turned to walk away.

He had already sat up from the bed, and it seemed that he had touched the injured area when he got up. I heard the sound of his teeth gritting, but he still reached out and grabbed me, and dragged me hard, and I staggered back.

When I fell on the soft brocade quilt, I also touched the injury on my shoulder, and the pain suddenly made my eyes go black.

He hugged me hard with his uninjured hand and whispered: "Don't leave."

"..."

I didn't speak, I just gritted my teeth and endured the pain on my shoulder. Although I didn't moan or cry out in pain, my breathing was messed up. The corners of my eyes were slightly red, and there was a flash of hot light.

When he saw him, he immediately softened his movements and hugged me gently: "Qingying?"

"..."

"Does it still hurt?"

"..."

I just curled up numbly, and after being silent for a long time, I said dumbly: "I'm tired."

"Then you go to sleep."

"..."

"It's right here with me."

"..."

"I will accompany you."

As he said that, he gently leaned forward and held me in his arms. I could almost feel the ups and downs of my breathing and the powerful heartbeats, which seemed to last forever. I didn't move anymore.

This quiet submission seemed to please him.

"Qingying..."

He murmured in a low voice, very softly, as if he was worried about waking me up from this constructed dream.

But he never knew that in such a soft dragon bed, in his warm embrace, I just kept my empty eyes wide open and never fell asleep for a moment...

After the emperor recovered from his injury, he chose a good day to go to the Ancestral Temple to mourn the empress dowager. It was already half a month later.

There were no accidents this time. Although those people before were not caught, they naturally did not dare to act rashly again after failing once. In addition, the emperor sent more guards to protect the country, and the national funeral was completed peacefully.

But I, because of my health, did not attend the funeral of the Queen Mother.

That day, Pei Yuanhao and I returned to the palace like that, and then stayed alone with him for such a long time. Although it is no longer news to some people, there are always people who want to spread gossip, but if others want to

Why do you think of me? I really don’t have the time to care about it. After the funeral, the queen and others came back, and Jingren Palace was in a mess for a while. As soon as I went out, I saw a few young and strong eunuchs.

I ran out carrying something, and when I took a closer look, I saw one of them holding a whole set of scriptures for me.

I stepped forward and said, "What is this for?"

When the little eunuch saw me, he immediately knelt down to salute. I frowned and said, "No need."

"Thank you, thank you - thank you, sir."

"What's going on with you guys?"

"Master Yue, the emperor has ordered that all your things be moved to Yihua Hall after the Queen Mother's funeral."

Yihua Hall? Over there in the West Sixth Palace...

My brows furrowed even more tightly into a frown. When the little eunuch saw that I hadn't spoken for a long time and didn't look good, he didn't dare to walk away casually. He could only stand there and look at me carefully.

I heard Eunuch Yu scolding me from behind: "You guys are just lazy if you don't see me wrong. Do you have to drag me out and play a few boards and break your hamstring to realize the pain?"

The little eunuch said hurriedly: "Father, it is Mr. Yue who is asking questions."

Eunuch Yu also saw it and hurriedly came over to say hello. I took a deep breath and turned around calmly to look at him: "Eunuch, what's going on?"

"My lord, this was arranged by the emperor before."

There were already some yellowish-brown age spots on his fat and fair face. When he smiled, his eyes were wide, which still gave people a shrewd feeling. He looked at me with a smile: "Sir, congratulations."

"..."

I looked at him, the flattering smile of the little eunuch, and the busy maids and eunuchs around him, and suddenly a faint smile appeared.

I didn't smile, but Eunuch Yu came up to say a few words. When I smiled, he seemed a little uneasy. He waved the little eunuch to hurry down, then came up to me and said hesitantly: "Sir."

"..."

I didn't say anything, just looked at him calmly. Eunuch Yu thought for a long time and said: "The emperor wants to confer you with a lot of obstacles, but Long live doesn't pay attention to any of them. Just for this, you also-"

I still stood there indifferently, not angry or happy.

Eunuch Yu didn't finish his words, he just sighed and said: "Everything has passed and the matter has been settled. Your Excellency, please go over and take a look."

After saying that, he shook his head and left.

I stood at the entrance of Jingren Palace and looked back at the tall, red palace door...

Yihua Palace also has such a tall and vermilion palace gate. When the sun shines on it, it is as bright as a towering flame.

I stood at the door and looked at it. Although the layout was roughly the same as that of Jingren Palace, it still felt strange. The little eunuchs coming in and out all cautiously greeted me and saluted. I ignored them and just walked in blankly and looked at them.

This new one - a palace made of walls.

I heard that this was the residence of the Queen Mother before she went to Linshui Pagoda.

She is a child of the grassland, with a warm and free temperament, but also a delicate and quiet side. Because of respect for her, the Supreme Emperor never let anyone live in her. When Pei Yuanhao came to the throne, he did not make any changes to it. As you can see

The courtyard is spacious and elegant, and the several exquisite elegant houses are particularly quiet. A red maple tree in the courtyard is burning like a flame. Except for this red maple tree, the others are all Suihan Junzi.

The originally cool layout became unusually warm because it was autumn.

I stood under the tree in a trance, and a very soft, familiar voice came from behind me——

"My lord."

Hearing this voice, my heart moved. I quickly turned my head and saw Aunt Gui standing behind me.

"Mommy."

In the days since I returned to Beijing, due to various matters, I have been to the Linshui Pagoda several times, but I have never gone in, and I have not been able to pay attention to her. Now when I saw her, I hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mommy, are you okay?

——"

Before I finished speaking, I froze.

Only then did I realize that she was wearing casual clothes and had a baggage in her hand.

I was stunned: "Mommy, what are you——"

She looked a little haggard, but her energy was not too bad. When she looked at me, her chaotic eyes still had the same gentle and loving expression as before, and she said softly: "My lord, the past few days have been the days of amnesty for me, slave.

I have been waiting for the Queen Mother’s funeral to be over, and now it’s time to leave. I came here to say goodbye to you.”

"Amnesty... out of the palace..."

I muttered these four words that I once thought about deeply but are now unfamiliar to me. I only read them once and got choked up, but I still smiled immediately: "Really?"

"Yeah."

"Then, mama, you have to leave..."

She nodded, and I hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to hold her cold hand: "How will you live after you leave the palace?"

She smiled: "The emperor has a generous reward, and if you go out, you will be able to get through it no matter what."

Everything has passed.

These five words sound so simple, but they suddenly made me feel sad.
To be continued...
