Drunken Exquisiteness

Chapter 53: In the midst of emotion

Views:

The ban on Yanxi Palace was only on the grounds that the Empress Dowager was sick and needed to recuperate, and visits were prohibited, but all the palaces felt the tension in the unusual atmosphere.

At this time, Concubine Yin showed her difference from the others. She assisted the Emperor of Heaven to frighten the harem with both kindness and power. Her wrists were unique and her movements were appropriate, making the Sangong and Six Courtyards look peaceful. It's no wonder that even if the Emperor of Heaven pampers three thousand beauties like a flower, she can't shake Concubine Yin's position as the head of the six palaces, because she is the woman that the Emperor of Heaven needs. She uses her inheritance to control the unique pride and dignity, beauty and means , Captured the heart of the Emperor of Heaven, making him unable to leave.

The court affairs were going on in an orderly manner as usual, and only a few important ministers and a few princes who were trusted by the emperor knew the truth. Due to the epidemic situation in Beijing and Li, the Emperor of Heaven issued five imperial edicts in one day to personally supervise and prevent the epidemic. The Tai Hospital and the Relief Department have been repeatedly criticized, but there is still no effective way to prevent and control the epidemic. Of course, everyone is restless.

Imperial Physician Song Defang and Imperial Physician He Ruyi followed Princess Qingping into Yanxi Palace that night. As the palace gates slowly closed, Yanxi Palace became a completely different world from the outside, and no one knew whether they could leave alive.

Panic and uneasiness filled every corner silently. That kind of unknowing fear and chaotic sense of danger will grow and spread in people's hearts little by little, like being completely immersed in darkness. Knowing that there is a fatal danger somewhere, but can't find or touch any light, and can only wait for the death that may come at any time.

Isn't waiting for death the most terrifying thing

At noon on the second day after Qing Chen entered the palace, all the people staying in Yanxi Palace gathered in the center of the front hall square, and announced the current situation of Yanxi Palace in detail without any concealment to the public. Better to be frank. At that time, some timid maids were so frightened that they hugged each other and cried out loudly.

Qing Chen secretly sighed, maybe everyone thinks that they are not afraid of death, but when the shadow of death looms over, how many people can remain calm as before

Standing at the top of the white jade steps, she said in a slow and clear voice: "I know you are afraid, but now, no one can get out of Yanxi Palace, including me. Anyone who takes a step out of the palace gate without permission will be killed with a stick." death is even more embarrassing. Now we can only escape this catastrophe if we advance together and retreat together. I am also afraid of death, but I, Feng Qingchen, will never abandon everyone. Let us die, we might as well fight him!"

Having said that, the originally flustered people seemed to have calmed down a bit. Everyone in the Yanxi Palace knew that Qing Chen was good at medicine. At this time, she was like a life-saving straw for everyone. Everyone looked at her and listened to her. But a little servant exclaimed: "Plague! Plague! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" Shouting and running towards the gate of the palace, the rest of the palace servants were suddenly in a commotion.

Qing Chen was startled, and shouted, "Wang Zhaoshou!"

Wang Zhaoshou, the chief inspector of Yanxi Palace, immediately ordered: "Hurry up! Catch him back!" Several executive eunuchs had already made their move, and the little servant was captured before running a few steps, struggling hard under the restraint of the executive eunuch: " I don't want to die! Don't! Don't!" With tears all over his face, his mind was almost frantic.

Qing Chen looked at the surroundings where the commotion was even worse. Many people seemed to be thinking of running away. He gritted his teeth slightly and said coldly, "Stand dead!"

The two words that were not tall were sharp, and they were thrown into the center of the commotion, like a ruthless blade. As the eunuch who executed the stick placed the bench in front of the venue with a "bang", the whole venue suddenly fell silent.

The executive eunuch squeezed open the little servant's mouth, stuffed it with a wooden stick, pulled the ropes at both ends and stretched his hands and feet back neatly, bound his hands, raised and lowered the stick, making a dull sound of knocking on the person's body, then The little servant struggled hissingly at first, but gradually became silent. Qing Chen stood there, watching quietly, a stick seemed to hit the bottom of her heart hard, but she stood firm and remained unmoved.

Everyone was so frightened that they fell silent, no one noticed that the originally closed gate of Yanxi Palace was suddenly opened, two people stepped in, and the vermilion golden gate slowly closed behind them.

The arena was dead silent, and no one dared to move anymore. Suddenly, a familiar voice said coldly, "Okay! Procrastinate and bury it. If there is another offender, it should be the same!" Qing Chen stared, this shock was no small matter, unexpectedly It was Ye Tianling, dressed in a cloud blue gown and white fur, walking slowly with his hands behind his back, walking towards this side on the gradually melting ice and snow. Followed by Yan Xi, an attendant of Prince Ling's Mansion, was carefully carrying something in both hands, which was tightly covered with a black cloth.

Everyone woke up with a start, and they all bent over in darkness. Ye Tianling waved his hands: "Get up, everyone." He stepped up to the high steps in front of the hall.

Qing Chen greeted him early: "Si...Your Highness, Yanxi Palace has been sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. This place is very dangerous, please go back quickly!" He complained to Yan Xi: "What's going on with you? ? To allow His Highness the Fourth Highness to enter this dangerous place!"

Yan Xi knelt on one knee and said: "Go back to the Princess, Your Highness will ask the Emperor to serve the Empress Dowager after the morning court, sit in the Yanxi Palace, beg for more than two hours in the Zhiyuan Palace, and the Emperor finally agreed, who can stop us?"

From last night to now, Qing Chen really knew what it means to be anxious, and said to Ye Tianling: "What are you doing!" The so-called calmness is only because things have not touched your soft spot.

Ye Tianling climbed the last step, stopped slightly, and said lightly in Qing Chen's extremely anxious eyes: "Even if I know it's a dangerous situation, I won't let you face it alone." Hearing this alone, Qing Chen turned around and stood side by side with her, looking at the people in Yanxi Palace: "Although the emperor has sealed the Yanxi Palace, he is very worried, and the holy driver can't come in person. This prince, on behalf of his father, will be filial. Epidemic. Princess Qingping heard everything clearly just now, everyone should perform their duties and act cautiously, don't let this king know that someone is taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, otherwise, just now will be a precedent!"

I don't know if it was because of the shock of the death penalty in front of me, or because of Ye Tianling's arrival, no one in the big field dared to speak anymore, and it finally became quiet. However, Qing Chen was disturbed by Ye Tianling's words just now. Seeing that there were so many people who couldn't argue about asking him to go back, he frowned slightly, and told everyone: "I have already told the heads of the various halls what to do, and they are all dispersed." Go to work, go back and forth to Yaochun Pavilion if you have something to do." Everyone was in shock and dispersed as ordered, and each performed their duties in an orderly manner.

Qing Chen and Ye Tianling went to Yaochun Pavilion, and Yan Xi knew what was going on, so he disappeared for a while and did not follow.

Yaochun Pavilion is very close to Zhichun Pavilion where Luanfei lived that day. Before closing the palace, Qingchen took this opportunity to give Luanfei another drink of Centrifugal Naihe grass. Days passed, and no one could be saved. The Emperor of Heaven was so worried and disturbed that he no longer cared about Luan Fei, so he ordered the body to be returned to Feng's family for burial immediately. At this time, Qing Chen managed to bring a letter to Feng Yan, falsely claiming that Luan Fei died of the plague in Yanxi Palace, and asked Feng's family to bury him quickly without delay. The matter of Luan Fei was originally a big taboo of the Feng family, and the mention of the plague was even more shocking. Feng Yan received Qing Chen's secret letter and buried Luan Fei on the same day. Go to rescue, I don't know if the person has been taken out at this time.

After a frightening dream, waking up with hatred in space and time, since then, there will be no such person as Feng Luanfei in the world.

At this time, Qing Chen had no time to think about Luan Fei's life and death. When he entered the Yaochun Pavilion and saw no one around, he said anxiously to Ye Tianling: "You come in like this, can you still get out? If you want to sit in Yanxi Palace, there are others, you What kind of limelight is it? What's more, Yanxi Palace has to have people in charge, and if one more person enters, one more person may die. Didn't I report to the emperor that no one should come, and no one should interfere?"

Ye Tianling had never seen Qing Chen look anxious, but she looked at her a little strangely. Seeing that he did not speak, Qing Chen said again: "Yanxi Palace is ill again now, who is sick now? It can't be cured, what if you accidentally get infected here... "

She also wanted to say that when Ye Tianling was suddenly pulled into her arms, she struggled instinctively, but she didn't break free from his arm.

Ye Tianling's unique masculine aura immediately enveloped her whole body, the winter noon sun shone down, and the ice and snow reflected subtle dazzling luster, sparkling, sparkling, and radiant. For a while, the surroundings were so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of the sun flowing, softly, occasionally, the ice and snow on the eaves melted, and fell with a "tick", which made the Yaochun Pavilion even more peaceful and quiet.

Qing Chen felt that Ye Tianling was holding her in his arms, and his chin was lightly resting on the top of her head. The voice that was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it had some confusing and complicated meanings, and he said slowly: "You also know how to be anxious. , compare your heart with your heart, am I not in a hurry?"

Qing Chen's breathing was stagnant, and her mind went blank for an instant. She never thought that Ye Tianling would say such a sentence. The slightly tilted head was close to Ye Tianling's chest, just as he could hear his heart beating powerfully, just as he felt him hugging her tightly, he suddenly understood his intentions.

But when did you exchange your heart for mine, when did your calm and calm state of mind worry about it, and your indifferent appearance also frequently moved by it? Is it that chance encounter, is it the acquaintance who seems to have been acquainted for several lifetimes, or that relatively forgetful gaze

Just because I am in this mountain, I don't know where the clouds are deep. But who knows, it's already on the brow and heart, and there is no way to avoid it.

She moved slightly, buried her face in front of Ye Tianling, and suddenly burst into tears uncontrollably. Maybe I was worried and frightened all day and night, but actually I wanted to see him every moment, even if I just looked at his pair of eternally calm and clear eyes, I would get the stability I wanted.

Ye Tianling looked at the snowy sky from a distance, and raised his hand to stroke her beautiful hair flowing down her shoulders: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Qing Chen wrapped his arms around his waist, and said angrily, "Why did you come?" But he asked knowingly.

Ye Tianling replied: "No reason." But he avoided speaking.

Qing Chen grabbed the hem of his shirt fiercely, gritted his silver teeth slightly, and Ye Tianling said flatly: "The eleventh brother is really right, it doesn't make people worry every time."

Qing Chen hadn't wiped away her tears, so she retorted unconvincedly: "That's him, not me."

The corner of Ye Tianling's thin mouth curled into a smile, and he raised Qing Chen's pretty face, and gently slid his finger across her cheek, wiping away the little tears that were still wet. The shadows of the two of them lightly reflected in each other's eyes, one was exquisite with seven orifices, and the other was cold and serious, only engraving the tenderness in detail, lingering.

Ye Tianling said in a low voice: "So what if it's you, I'll admit it." There was a gentle smile and a domineering voice in the words, tightly enveloping the person and not being able to break free.

Qing Chen only felt that the stillness in Ye Tianling's eyes deepened into sparkling light, the depths and depths seemed to carry some kind of magical power, and he was casting a curse on himself, his pretty dimple turned red, and he hurriedly turned his head away.

However, Ye Tianling only smiled faintly, and his mind was slightly straightened: "What's going on in Yanxi Palace?" When this matter was mentioned, both of them suppressed their smiles. Yanxi Palace really does not make people optimistic at this time. Qing Chen was silent for a while, and said: "Fourth brother, you have come, but you can't leave. If you leave, Yanxi Palace is beyond my control. But there is one thing, you can't enter the Empress Dowager's palace, not even a step .”

Ye Tianling was noncommittal, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me the truth, what is the situation of the imperial grandmother?"

Qing Chen couldn't say anything to deceive in front of Ye Tianling, there was nothing in his eyes at this moment, it was just dark and seductive, making her sink deeply, unable to come out, dare not, and unwilling to deceive . He would rather face the devastated, even despicable and filthy, and only listen to the truth, all he wants is the truth.

She bit her lip and said softly: "Give me some time, maybe the Empress Dowager will be lucky enough to survive this calamity."

Ye Tianling slowly closed his eyes, Qing Chen saw the corners of his lips pursed coldly, knowing that he would only have such an expression when he was in extreme pain and he didn't want to attack, so he hurriedly said: "It will be fine, Fourth brother, I will find a way."

Ye Tianling made up his mind, and said, "What do you want those white mice for? I brought them for you, and Yan Xi is watching."

"Have you got it?" Qing Chen said, "I'm going to use it for experiments to find out the medicine that can cure the disease."
