In the depths of Xiaohan, morning light first breaks out at three or two o'clock, and it falls on the slightly withered branches and leaves, adding a gentleness to the solemnity of winter in the Forbidden Palace.
Taking the rare opportunity of going to Yanxi Palace to leave the Zhiyuan Palace, Qing Chen turned his head to watch Bai Lushuang fall, and stretched out his hand to the sky high in the sky, breathing deeply the cold air.
But when she turned around, she suddenly fell into a pair of deep eyes. Ye Tianling stood behind her at some point, looking at her intently, with a clear smile on her sharp lips.
Qing Chen was stunned by his gaze, and then lowered his eyes to avoid his bright gaze: "Fourth brother."
Ye Tianling smiled faintly: "Go to Yanxi Palace?"
"Yeah." Qing Chen walked slowly with him, Ye Tianling didn't speak, and she was quiet for a while, before asking: "Did Xie Jing bring you something?"
Ye Tianling nodded and said, "I've seen it. There's only one named Wei Ping. He seemed to have seen him in Jiudi's mansion a few years ago. He was the son of Jiudi's wet nurse, but he had disappeared for a long time. "
"His Royal Highness?" This result was unexpected for Qing Chen, and he asked, "Are you sure?"
Ye Tianling said: "It shouldn't be wrong, I have asked someone to investigate again. But Luan Fei knows best about the matter."
Qing Chen lowered his head and thought for a while: "Since I have obtained the antidote, perhaps, I can try to find out the truth from Luan Fei."
The corner of Ye Tianling's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes darkened: "There are more than one or two caring people in this palace, it doesn't matter who they are, I probably know it in my heart."
Qing Chen nodded, Ye Tianling was naturally clearer than her, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head and asked him: "Fourth brother, Xie Jing said that you paid Muyuantang 50,000 taels of silver yesterday?"
Ye Tianling said: "Well, didn't you ask him to open a pharmacy to dispense medicine?"
Qing Chen raised his calm eyes slightly upwards, and blinked: "Don't you feel bad for such a large amount?"
Ye Tianling frowned slightly, remembering the frequent disasters in recent days: "You have this kind of heart, but I don't? If mere money can buy Jingli's safety, I will thank you."
Qing Chen smiled at him and said, "Then I will thank fourth brother on behalf of the people of the two places."
Ye Tianling only smiled faintly, and the two of them walked in silence for a while, when his usual cold voice rang in their ears again: "Didn't you sleep well these days?"
"Huh?" Qing Chen turned his head away, saw Ye Tianling's gaze fell on her face, and there was an imperceptible softness in his eyes, waiting for her to speak. She smiled: "Why, do I look ugly? It's a bit of a toss, but the emperor can hold it, and I can naturally hold it. But this winter is really cold, I hate the cold weather the most, why don't I Comfortable."
Ye Tianling said: "Winter has just entered here, and it won't be until March 9th that the dripping water will turn into ice."
Qing Chen curled his lips, thinking about the deep winter and severe cold, he was extremely reluctant, and on a whim, he said: "It would be great if there was only spring and no winter."
Ye Tianling saw her pure and longing face, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and he smiled lightly: "Winter is so cold that you know spring is soft and warm. If it's all spring, it's not interesting. "
Every time Qing Chen saw him smile, his heart felt extra soft, just like winter and spring coming smoothly, making people so nostalgic and joyful. Just as he was about to say something, suddenly the smile on Ye Tianling's lips froze and disappeared without a trace. Following his gaze, Concubine Lian stood quietly at the white jade railing beside the Taiye Pond, She was dressed in white fur, and her long hair was soft and flowing, which looked extraordinarily thin in winter.
Qing Chen looked at Ye Tianling, and saw that he was not moving forward, but the mother and son were just a short distance ahead, as if the world was far away. Couldn't help urging him softly: "Fourth Brother..." Who knew that Concubine Lian was alarmed, Concubine Lian turned around from the Taiye Pond, and when she saw Ye Tianling, her slender body was visibly shocked, and the maid behind her hurriedly leaned over and said : "I have seen the Fourth Highness and the princess."
Ye Tianling responded lightly: "No." He also bowed slightly: "Mother Concubine." There was an indescribable alienation in the voice, but it suppressed a trace of complicated emotions, which made people's hearts stagnate.
The maple tree that used to be like fire has withered, and the remaining leaves are flying. Concubine Lian's blood-colored lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just raised her hand and silently led the maid to herself. Ye Tianling passed by.
Qing Chen wanted to keep her, but couldn't speak, seeing Concubine Lian disappear into the garden.
Turning around to look at Ye Tianling, he saw him standing where he was, staring at Taiye Pond in a daze, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists, as if he was suppressing the emotions in his heart. Qing Chen frowned, and shouted: "Fourth Brother!" Ye Tian regained his senses fiercely, and looked at her. Qing Chen said "Oops", dragged him by the hand, and turned him around: "I made you anxious to death, hurry up!"
Ye Tianling was dragged by her and turned around and took a few steps, grabbed her with his backhand, and said in a deep voice, "Don't run around in the palace."
Rao Qingchen thought that his calm and restless temperament really couldn't exhaust him, so he pulled him still with all his strength, stomped his feet and said: "Is it that difficult to go to the Lotus Pond Palace? You really can't bear it, you haven't seen her look at you The look in his eyes, how painful and difficult!"
Ye Tianling's eyes fluctuated suddenly, and he held Qing Chen's hand tightly, and Qing Chen frowned at the pain of his grip. Ye Tianling let go of her hands, but didn't let her go.
Qing Chen let his slender fingers hold it, and there was a dry and warm breath from his palm. He suddenly felt that this rough winter day was much softer, and warmth was quietly blooming. Looking up, I saw Qingling gradually floating in the eyes, which had blown away the previously suppressed dullness, her shadow was reflected in the center of the deep spring water, and with the deep whirlpool, there was a little strange feeling in my heart. , made her speechless for a moment, and could only stare at him in a daze.
Ye Tianling held her hand tightly, and slowly let go. Qing Chen walked around behind him and pushed him: "Go, is it more difficult than siege the city? Seeing that you are vigorous and resolute, why are you procrastinating? Go, if you don't go to Lianchi Palace, you will not be allowed to visit the Queen Mother in Yanxi Palace!"
Ye Tianling has always been decisive, and everyone in front of him has only Shen Sheng taboo, when he was forced to do something like this, he couldn't help frowning and turning his head. Qing Chen smiled at him: "It should be me who is frowning, right? It's really frightening to meet a slow doctor. I always consciously hold my breath, but now I'm willing to bow down to you." Seeing Ye Tianling walking forward by himself Go, take back your hand: "That's right, what are you afraid of?"
Ye Tianling was no longer as depressed as before, but still frowned: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I don't know what to say."
Qing Chen said strangely: "I still have to think about it, even if I don't say anything, just sit with her."
Ye Tianling was silent, and Qing Chen said again: "I have complained for more than 20 years, isn't it enough? Could it be that you can't forgive her at this time?"
Ye Tianling sighed silently: "It's not because I blame her, but to continue to alienate her, I'm afraid it's okay."
Qing Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood his thoughts. The mother and son chose the same method to protect each other from getting involved in the turmoil that would come one day. Said: "She is your mother, if there is an emergency, you can't get rid of it. In other words, do you want her to stay away to protect you, or do you want her to treat you like a normal person? You should also know how she would like you to treat her." her."
Ye Tianling knew the answer even if he didn't want to, but in this way, he understood Concubine Lian's painstaking efforts even more. Having arrived at the Lotus Pond Palace, Qing Chen said: "I won't accompany you in." Watching Ye Tianling finally step into the gate of the Lotus Pond Palace, he left in peace.
