The emperor told all the ins and outs, and when he spoke, he accidentally touched the wound at the corner of his mouth, and immediately let out a cry of pain. Ji Ting held back his laughter, and looked at him with a sullen expression: "Oh, Shen Tuchuan is really, how could he do anything to the emperor, it's so disrespectful! Follow your mother into the house, and your mother will help you apply the medicine."
"... Empress, you are almost gloating on your face, can you restrain yourself?" the emperor said speechlessly.
Ji Ting immediately stopped pretending, and sneered at him with a sneer: "You deserve it, let's see if you dare to bully someone next time!"
The emperor suddenly had nothing to say, and followed her into the room depressed. Ji Ting rummaged in front of the cabinet for a long time, found a porcelain vase that looked tarnished, and asked someone to find some gauze, and then called the emperor to sit down at the table.
She wrung the veil with hot water, and wiped the blood stains on his wound bit by bit, the emperor would twitch in pain from time to time. Ji Ting pursed her lips, feeling a little distressed after all: "Shen Tuchuan is really too, the attack was too ruthless."
"That's right, Queen Mother, you really have to scold him," the emperor paused for a moment, and muttered in a low voice, "I am also the king of a country anyway, and he is so presumptuous."
Ji Ting glanced at him, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "You have known that I have not been separated from him all these years, but you have never mentioned it, so that I have not been with him for a moment in ten years, and Shen Tuchuan didn't beat you up. Death is already a matter of family affection."
The emperor glanced at her cautiously, and said slightly depressed for a long while: "I just want to be your most important relative, not someone you can easily discard for the sake of staying together. Queen Mother, you don't know, every time you think of the two of you Working together is to lie to me, how uncomfortable I feel."
"Didn't you do this yourself?" Ji Tingcai didn't buy his words, "I don't know who it is, and I worry all day long that the harem and eunuchs will join forces to make you the emperor, and we only do this to protect ourselves. Besides, even though he and I have lied to you, we have treated you well all these years, and even if you have a little conscience, you will not stop us from staying together."
The emperor didn't know how to refute for a while, looking at her stern face, he knew that she was getting angry again, so when she put the powder on his face, he immediately let out a cry of pain to divert her attention.
This trick really worked, Ji Ting frowned immediately: "Does it hurt?"
"A little bit." The emperor said aggrievedly.
Ji Ting glanced at his obviously immature face, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hold on, this is the medicine Shen Tuchuan gave me, it may hurt a little, but the effect is surprisingly good, I'm afraid that's the only way in the world It’s a bottle, and I don’t want to use it for any injuries I get on weekdays.”
"It's such a precious thing, but there's only such a small amount. I'm afraid it will be wiped off after I finish painting my whole face." The emperor looked at the small white porcelain bottle in her hand, and felt a long-lost warmth in his heart. "The queen mother treats me very well."
"When will I treat you badly?" Ji Ting snorted.
The emperor smiled, and said with a bit of shame for a while: "I was wrong about what happened today. I will ask people to send those men back tomorrow. Don't be angry, Queen Mother."
"It's okay, I'm not angry anymore." Ji Ting was quite generous.
The emperor was surprised: "Why?"
Ji Ting didn't answer, but stared at his face motionless, showing a rather mocking smile for a while. The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he finally understood why she wasn't angry.
... The people who made her angry have turned into pig heads, can she calm down
Neither of them spoke anymore, Ji Ting carefully applied plaster layer by layer to the emperor, and the emperor just sat obediently. After a while, the emperor frowned: "I feel my face hurts."
"Although the medicine stings a bit, it's only at the beginning, and it's very comfortable afterwards." Ji Ting was puzzled for a moment, then narrowed his eyes suspiciously after thinking of something, "You didn't pretend to be intentional, did you? "
"... Really not." Although he did pretend at first, but now his face really hurts.
Ji Ting snorted softly, stared at his face for a moment: "I think your face seems to be more swollen than before."
"Really? No wonder I feel pain," the emperor paused after speaking, "No, it's all medicine, why is it still swollen?"
The two looked at each other, suddenly speechless.
The lamps and candles in the room were a bit dim, and the maid lit two more candlesticks and brought them up. Seeing the emperor's face, she exclaimed: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?!"
Because of the addition of two candlesticks, the room suddenly became much brighter. Ji Ting looked at the emperor's swollen head, and was immediately surprised: "How could this be? Are you allergic to this medicine?!"
"...Don't guess the queen mother, let's call the imperial doctor." The emperor felt weak for a while.
Ji Ting hurriedly asked the palace maid to find someone. After a period of turmoil, the imperial doctor took off all the medicine on the emperor's face, and applied a layer of medicine he brought on him, so the emperor felt less pain.
Ji Ting stood aside, and when the imperial doctor was free, he immediately handed over the porcelain bottle in his hand: "Aijia's medicine is clearly the best, why does the emperor react like this?"
The imperial doctor took it and sniffed it, and after a moment of silence, asked: "May I ask the Empress Dowager, when was this medicine made?"
The emperor immediately looked at her. Ji Ting thought for a while: "I don't know when it was made, but it was obtained ten years ago, so it should have been made for at least ten years."
Imperial Physician: "..."
emperor:"… "
Ji Ting looked at them gently: "Is there any problem?"
"... Empress, can you give me the medicine from ten years ago?" The emperor was speechless.
Ji Ting frowned: "Your Majesty, when you and I get along, you have to call yourself 'Zhen'."
Emperor: "..." Is now the time to struggle with this? !
The imperial physician explained to Ji Ting in a big way, and Ji Ting immediately understood why they were speechless. The co-author was because her medicine had expired. Regarding this, Ji Ting was also dumbfounded: "Sorry, I didn't think about this."
I always feel that the ancient world has nothing to do with the word 'expired', so I didn't care about it. I didn't expect such an oolong to happen today.
Because of this incident, Fengqi Palace didn't calm down until Zishi, the emperor was carried away when he left, and Shen Tuchuan came as soon as he left.
When Ji Ting saw Shen Tuchuan suddenly appearing in his room, his eyes lit up: "When did you come?"
"Not long after the emperor left," Shen Tuchuan said, and casually glanced at her, "I heard that you used expired medicine for the emperor?"
Ji Ting couldn't laugh or cry: "This matter is not what you think..."
"You did the right thing, this reward is for you," Shen Tuchuan said, taking out a fresh fruit from his bosom, and put it in her palm, "Compared to the person who accepted him directly, you really are I've grown up and become more sensible."
Ji Ting was silent for a moment, then resolutely retracted his previous words, looked at him with a smile and said: "The main thing is that you teach well."
Shen Tuchuan hugged him in his arms in satisfaction, and didn't speak for a long time.
Ji Ting was quiet for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Are you happy?"
"Well, I'm very happy," Shen Tuchuan didn't deny it, "it's just a pity, if we can directly explain it to the emperor, we won't have to work hard every day for ten years."
"That's right, it's all the emperor's fault." Ji Ting echoed.
Shen Tuchuan's voice sank: "When I think about this, I want to beat him up again."
Thinking of the emperor's face swollen into a pig's head when he left Fengqi Palace, Ji Ting decided to say something for him after thinking about it: "I don't have any regrets, just take it as an extra experience, and it's good to be sneaky, and I can keep it Freshness, not getting bored with each other, so... ”
"So what?" Shen Tuchuan narrowed his eyes, "If we can be together in an open and aboveboard manner, why don't you lose your sense of novelty to me?"
Ji Ting blinked her eyes, she didn't know how she got herself involved in order to help the emperor escape, she thought about it and said dryly: "That's not true, I'm just giving an example, you don't have to mind .”
"A few days ago, someone just disliked me for being old, and now he suddenly cited such an example, so I can't help but not mind." Shen Tuchuan sneered.
Ji Ting sneered: "Then what can you do? Do you want to beat me up?"
"It's okay." After Shen Tuchuan finished speaking, he directly picked up the person and strode towards the inner room.
He stayed in Fengqi Palace that night, and didn't go to sleep until dawn. Ji Ting fell asleep in his arms, and soon woke up suddenly: "You hurry up, don't let the emperor's people find out..."
"It's okay, there's no need to hide from now on." Shen Tuchuan was not bothered after being awakened, and comforted him softly after hugging him tightly again.
Ji Ting was still conscious, and he relaxed after hearing his voice, and soon fell asleep again. This time, she slept until noon before waking up. After she opened her eyes, she looked at the empty place next to her, her eyes were a little dazed, and she felt that yesterday was not real.
Just as she was in a daze, Shen Tuchuan, who was wearing a black shirt embroidered with gold thread, walked in, stepped forward and pressed a kiss on her lips, held her face and said in a low voice: "I didn't eat breakfast, but are you hungry? "
Ji Ting stared at him for a long time, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "So it wasn't a dream."
"what?"
Ji Ting smiled and said nothing, Shen Tuchuan stared at her for a moment, vaguely understood what she meant, and pulled her up with a smile: "It's not a dream, you and I can indeed be together openly and aboveboard."
"Um!"
From this day on, Ji Ting began to pack his belongings. After packing for a few days, looking at the pile of boxes, he realized that he had saved so many things in the past ten years in the palace. There were too many things to carry, so she could only reduce them as much as possible, but she couldn't bear to discard everything, so the emperor finally sent some people to her to help her carry things.
At first, it was to avoid the emperor's eyes and ears, so when choosing a place to live in seclusion, he always looked for it in a small mountain village. Now that the emperor has promised to let them go, Shen Tuchuan didn't want to wrong Ji Ting anymore, so he chose a big house in the south where he raised his people. , took her parents there first, and when the emperor's men delivered Ji Ting's belongings, the two of them would officially leave.
On the night of parting, most of the emperor's injuries had healed, and his handsome face was restored. Sitting between Ji Ting and Shen Tuchuan, his eyes were red and he didn't have the majesty of an emperor.
Ji Ting helplessly comforted: "You also have a queen and concubine now, why are you so reluctant to part with us?"
"So what's the matter, I'm a monarch and then a husband and wife with them, unlike you and Uncle Chuan, we are relatives." The emperor retorted.
Ji Ting took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "One day you will meet someone you really like, and she will treat you as a family member and treat you well for the rest of your life."
"Forget it, I don't believe it." The emperor shook his head sadly.
Ji Ting didn't say any more, and after sitting with him for a while, he left with Shen Tuchuan. As soon as the two of them left the palace, a fire broke out in Fengqi Palace, and then there was the sound of the death knell .
At that time, Ji Ting and Shen Tuchuan were walking outside the palace, and when they heard the sound, their faces were filled with wonder: "I didn't expect that one day I would hear the news of my own death."
"It's really unlucky." Shen Tuchuan lowered his face.
Ji Ting laughed: "Death escape is what you and the emperor thought of together, why are you suddenly unhappy again?"
"So what, it's unlucky anyway." Shen Tuchuan pursed his lips.
Ji Ting shrugged, already used to his capriciousness. The two walked silently for a while, and Shen Tuchuan suddenly said: "It is a folk custom that if there is any unlucky thing, you only need to send a red envelope to cheer you up."
Ji Ting said 'Oh': "Then you send me a red envelope?"
"I don't have any red paper on me." Shen Tuchuan said flatly.
Ji Ting took his arm and walked forward: "It doesn't matter, just give the bank note. Anyway, the meaning of the red envelope is not the envelope, but the things inside."
"There's no bank note either." Shen Tuchuan paused, "If you want, here's a broken piece of silver."
"Then break the silver." Ji Ting answered casually, and then realized something. Just as she raised her head, a piece of broken silver wearing a red string appeared in front of her eyes.
She stared fixedly at Sui Yin, whom she hadn't seen for ten years, and even breathed lightly for a moment.
"Do you want it?" Shen Tuchuan's ears turned red.
After a while, Ji Ting raised the corners of his lips: "Yes, I want everything you give."
Shen Tuchuan didn't speak, but his eyes were full of smiles. He raised his hand and put the silver around her neck, then held her hand and said, "Let's go."
"it is good."
The moonlight fell on the shoulders of the two, illuminating the road ahead.
"You just said to the emperor that he will meet people who treat him like family. Is it true?"
"Well, he will also like each other very much," Ji Ting thought of the rather sweet heroine and heroine in the original text, his eyes were so gentle that he could hardly melt away, "Just like you and me, we are destined to have no resistance."
"Sounds good." Shen Tuchuan squeezed her hand tightly.
Ji Ting pressed a kiss on his lips, and the two got into the carriage to their new life together.
After solving the emperor, the next one to be solved is the parents, maybe because of the recovery of memory, Ji Ting is not nervous about this matter, but Shen Tuchuan, who is so nervous that he can't sleep well at night and can't eat, he looks thin a lot.
"Why are you so nervous?" Ji Ting was speechless.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at her quietly: "Can't you?"
"...It's possible, but I don't think it's necessary." Ji Ting felt a little helpless.
Shen Tuchuan sighed, left a sentence of 'you don't understand', and took time to go to the store to choose gifts for her parents. When the two arrived at their destination, the carriage was already full of things he wanted to deliver, but when it was time to enter the door, he suddenly refused to go in.
"Go back by yourself. I thought about it, but I still don't want to go." Shen Tuchuan said sullenly.
Ji Ting: "... You only bought a house here, right? Where are you going if you don't go back?"
"I'll find an inn to stay in first."
"Don't talk about those useless things, let's go." Ji heard that he was afraid that he would run away, so he immediately held his hand tightly, and led him into the house half-forced.
As soon as the two entered, they bumped into Ji's parents who came out to greet them, and they were stunned at the same time when their eyes met. Ji Ting was the first to react, and generously pushed Shen Tuchuan in front of the two elders: "Father, mother, let me introduce you, this is my husband-in-law, Shen Tuchuan."
Ji Shangshu snorted softly and looked away, but Madam Ji sneered: "You two are tired, go into the house and have a rest, I'll ask the cook to cook some delicious food for you."
"Thank you, mother." Ji heard that he tapped Shen Tuchuan's palm.
Shen Tuchuan immediately followed, "Thank you, mother." After speaking, his expression changed, and the worry in his eyes could hardly be suppressed.
... How could he be so stupid that he would call his mother directly when Mrs. Ji didn't admit their relationship? How is this different from buying and selling by force
Just when he was nervous and wanted to make up for it, Ji Shangshu snorted again, and Ji Ting was afraid that they would quarrel, so he hurriedly said: "Father, don't mind, he is just too nervous and has no other meaning."
"No other meaning? I think he has other meanings!" Ji Shangshu looked at his precious daughter angrily, and said without waiting for her to speak: "If he didn't have a problem with me, why did he only visit your mother?" , but turn a blind eye to my father?!"
Ji Ting was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he quickly pushed Shen Tuchuan. Shen Tuchuan, who has always been shrewd, was rarely slow, so he was stunned for a long time before he said unconfidently: "Father?"
"It's not bad!" Ji Shangshu was reluctantly satisfied, and then seemed to feel that he couldn't hold back his face, and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, take a rest, I will go to the kitchen with your mother, tell the cook to hurry up Cook."
"Okay Dad." Ji Ting smiled relaxedly, and looking at Shen Tuchuan again, it also felt like letting go of a big rock.
After these two people entered the room, Mrs. Ji reprimanded Shangshu Ji: "Why are you so fierce, look at scaring the two children!"
"... I can't be angry when I see Shen Tuchuan's reaction, as if I would eat him, and I don't even think about it. He has been kind to my Ji family and has taken care of them for so many years. How could I break them up. " Ji Shangshu murmured, originally wanted to continue to defend himself, but after seeing Mrs. Ji's threatening eyes, he finally gave up.
When he saw Shen Tuchuan again, his attitude really improved a lot. Shen Tuchuan felt quite flattered, and his attitude became more and more amiable. The two got along strangely and harmoniously.
The whole family got together, and the days finally went on peacefully and smoothly, except for occasional trips back to the capital to see the emperor, Ji Ting and Shen Tuchuan rarely left their parents and stayed by their side all the time.
Day by day, year by year, the days passed like this, and the color of Shen Tuchuan's birthmark became lighter and lighter, until one morning, only a shallow outline remained.
Shen Tuchuan stared at the birthmark, unable to regain consciousness for a long time, until Ji Ting woke up before hastily covering it. Ji Ting got into his arms in a daze: "Why do you get up so early?"
"I remember making you breakfast, what would you like to eat?" Shen Tuchuan asked gently.
Ji Ting paused for a moment, and regained his energy: "Did you do it yourself? The wheat kernel porridge you cooked last time was good, so fry an egg for me."
"Okay, you sleep a little longer, I'll call you when I'm ready." Shen Tuchuan said, and tucked her under the quilt.
Ji Ting quickly fell asleep, and when he woke up again, Shen Tuchuan had already prepared breakfast and it was placed on the table in the room.
She got up and washed briefly, then sat down at the table: "Aren't you going to have dinner with your parents today?"
"After I finished it, I saw that you were still awake, so I didn't wake you up. We've already eaten, and these are reserved for you." Shen Tuchuan said, and brought her a pair of chopsticks.
Ji Ting took it over with a smile, and chatted with him while eating: "Father went to the temple fair a few days ago and was cheated of a tael of silver there. Mother was very angry when she heard about it. Do you know about this?"
"Know."
"Huh?" Ji Ting looked at him in surprise, "Mother told me it was a scandal and told me not to tell you, how would you know?"
"Mother asked me to complain, of course I know," Shen Tuchuan paused after speaking, "Since mother won't let you tell, why did you tell me?"
"... Anyway, you have a strict mouth and won't betray me, so it's okay to say a word, but mother, she won't let me tell you, why did you say it yourself?" Ji Ting clicked his tongue.
Shen Tuchuan smiled: "How can a family keep secrets."
"That's right." Ji Ting immediately stopped being entangled.
Shen Tuchuan quietly watched her feast, and suddenly said after a while: "I remember you said before, after this life is over, you and I will be together, no matter happiness or pain, we will no longer be restricted by the imprint, Is this true?"
"Of course it's true," Ji Ting said without raising his head, paused for a moment after speaking, and looked at him with a frown, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Shen Tuchuan looked into her eyes quietly, and after a long time he said shyly: "My imprint, only the last outline is left."
"Ah, isn't that great?" Ji Ting was happy.
Shen Tuchuan pursed his lips: "Very... okay?"
Ji Ting paused, and finally realized that he was uneasy, thought for a while and held his hand: "You don't have all the memories now, so you don't know, I can tell you clearly, it's really good."
Although he is the happiest at the last moment of the mission, these worlds are not real after all. In any case, they still have to return to reality. The place where you will stay.
Shen Tuchuan looked into her eyes fixedly, and after a long time, the corners of his lips finally raised: "Okay, I believe you."
"Well, don't think too much, I will never harm you." Ji Ting promised earnestly.
Shen Tuchuan: "Will we stay together forever in the next life?"
"Yes." Ji Ting nodded seriously.
Most of the uneasiness in Shen Tuchuan's heart dissipated, and he really didn't get entangled in this matter from this day onwards. Even if he thought about it occasionally, he always kept in mind what Ji Ting said to 'let nature take its course'. He didn't worry anymore, and he wouldn't wake up in a dream again, so the imprint became more and more faint, and finally even the only outline disappeared.
This day he woke up early in the morning, and he seemed to notice something when he opened his eyes. He looked at Ji Ting's sleeping face in front of him, and kissed her on the forehead after a long time. Ji Ting said something vaguely, but he didn't hear clearly, so he leaned over: "What did you say?"
"I love you..."
Ji Ting repeated it again, although it was still vague, Shen Tuchuan finally understood, and the corners of his lips suddenly raised. In just a split second, his pupils changed a few times, and the sunlight shining into the room also stopped.
Ji Ting opened his eyes as if aware of something, and was caught off guard by a pair of indifferent pupils. She stared at him blankly, and subconsciously asked, "Have you recovered your memory?"
"We're going back." Shen Tuchuan pinched her chin and said.
Looking at him with all his memories, Ji Ting felt both familiar and strange, and he asked after a while: "I don't know where you live..."
As soon as the words fell, the person in front of her was slowly swallowed by the darkness, and she finally became anxious: "Where should I find you?!"
"I will find you..." Shen Tuchuan disappeared completely after finishing this sentence.
I will find you, just as you find me every time, exactly.
