The wind stopped, and the dense forest gradually became quiet.
Time seemed to have stopped, everything was silent, and Yan Lie fell into a deep sleep. Amid the lingering cold fragrance, his restless heart was extremely peaceful, as if submerged in a puddle of warm water.
I don't know how long he has been in such a deep sleep. With a movement of his fingers, Yan Lie turned over habitually to grab something, but when he stretched out his arms, it was in vain. He felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly stood up.
He was the only one left in the cabin.
The sky is still in the dark, and it seems to be covered with a layer of light veil, which makes it difficult to see clearly.
There was a faint fragrance between the nostrils, ? Faint, almost inaudible, ? But clearly there, Yan Lie sat in this quietness for a long time, ? Suddenly got up, ? Hastily put on the clothes scattered on the floor, three He stepped out of the cabin in two steps.
In the ambiguous morning,?The desolate weeds floated with the wind, making a slight rustling sound, and there was a vast expanse. When I came, the horse I was riding was snorting and flicking its tail. Not far away, I buried my head in eating the weeds. Yan Lie's pupils shrank suddenly, and strided over, grabbed the reins, got on the horse, kicked the horse's belly hard, and galloped through the forest regardless of the rugged mountain road.
The cold wind in the morning was blowing on his face, as sharp as a knife, his teeth were shaking, his face was cold and stern, and his eyes seemed to be bleeding.
However, when the fierce horse rushed out of the dense forest, the rapid sound of hooves slowed down.
In the cold spring field, one person and one horse just stopped quietly. An eagle circled past, called out lonely, and flew away far away.
The sky is full of smoke and waves, and the wind is like a cold wave, pushing one after another, without end.

The charcoal fire was beeping, beeping and extinguishing. Occasionally, a few flames rose up, licking the bottom of the crock, and the cover bowl made a puffing sound, and the medicinal fragrance permeated the air.
Ni Ying was squatting in front of the small stove. Her face was covered with soot, and she looked a bit embarrassed. However, she didn't care. She just took a feather fan and gently fanned the charcoal fire in the stove, while paying attention to the movement in the crock.
Uncle Qian persuaded from the side: "Miss, let the old slave come, this is smoky, it will hurt your eyes and it won't be good."
Ni Ying shook her head, "It's okay, it's almost over."
Uncle Qian sighed, stopped talking, and just grinded the medicine powder with a stone hammer.
After decocting two bowls of water to one bowl, Ni Ying left the stove, carefully poured the medicine into a celadon bowl, told Uncle Qian a few words, and left by herself.
Before approaching the dormitory in the backyard, I saw a circle of teenagers around the dormitory. Everyone looked worried, and stretched their necks to squeeze in through the cracks in the door and window.
Ni Ying secretly sighed, instead of driving them away as usual, she just let them move in through a gap.
The bedroom was silent, and the veil was quietly hanging, only a slender figure was vaguely seen lying on the bed. Ni Ying lifted the veil and walked in lightly, and put the medicine on the desk beside her. Half kneeling before the collapse, looking at that pale and beautiful face for a long time, then said softly: "Your Highness, it's time to drink the medicine."
The thin eyelids of the person in front of him moved, and he opened his eyes.
He seemed a little confused, his eyes gradually focused on Ni Ying's face, after a long while, he pulled the corners of his dead lips.
"A flowery cat..."
Raising his hand to wipe the stain on her face, Ni Ying's eyes trembled, she suddenly grabbed his warm hand, spread it out, and stuck it to her face.
Li Yuanmin smiled softly: "Silly girl, it's all right. Your Highness' brother is in good health."
The day before dawn, the patrolling government soldiers found King Guang'an fainted on the ground in front of the door. His black hair was messy, his shoes were covered with mud, and his clothes were all wet. He did not know where he came from. Coming here almost frightened the government soldiers.
After being sent back to the backyard, he was still unconscious. At night, he started to have a fever, and his whole body was in a daze. He started talking nonsense, which made everyone in the Guang'an Palace very anxious. Everyone stayed up all night Stay in the backyard.
In such an anxious situation, Ni Ying was extremely calm, helping Zhou Dawu maintain the order of the palace, while taking care of King Guang'an himself. After three days of suffering, the fever finally subsided, and at least he woke up.
The movement inside caused a rustling sound from outside. Li Yuanmin raised his eyes and saw a shadowy figure reflected on the window. He sighed and said, "Let them all come in."
Ni Ying pursed her lips, but didn't stop him. She just helped him sit up, put a lumbar support on his waist, and went out as promised.
After a while, all the teenagers standing outside squeezed in, and the light in the inner room dimmed.
"Your Highness..."
"How are you..."
"Your Highness..."
Looking at the pair of worried childish eyes, Li Yuanmin felt sour in his heart. He didn't know that if he couldn't hold on, these homeless children would be displaced again. Can it be so easy to teach them to fall into the quagmire again
He has come to the present, and he is no longer just carrying himself, but also carrying the wealth and lives of more than a thousand people in the Guang'an Palace. All kinds of things cannot allow him to be selfish.
He closed his eyes, thinking in his heart that he was about to wake up from that unbearable nightmare.
"The king's health has been unwell for the past few days, which made you worry. Now I'm fine. You don't have to worry too much, just do what you have to do."
He smiled at everyone, trying to make himself sound healthy.
Ni Ying could clearly see Li Yuanmin's reluctance, and stood in front of him immediately: "Okay, okay, lunch is ready, you go and eat."
However, the teenagers were still unwilling to leave, they just crowded in front of the collapse and looked at him together.
Li Yuanmin could only hold on to his spirit and talk to them, and at least let them go away.
While recuperating from illness, a news shook the whole of Lingnan. Yan Lie, the leader of the Lingnan County garrison, served under the command of the great prince Li Yuanqian. Li Yuanqian's confidant and former Taichang Temple Minister Zhu Chen entrusted the Liangjiang general system, the military affairs belonged to Yan Lie, and the government affairs belonged to Zhu Chen. , is only one step away from ascending to the sky.
When Zhou Dawu reported with an angry expression, Li Yuanmin didn't say anything, but waved him away, and stayed quietly in the study all afternoon.
***
Since the first spring thunder, Lingnan has entered a continuous rainy season. Perhaps because of this climate, Li Yuanmin is always a little sleepy, lethargic, and unable to cheer up.
However, the current situation does not allow him to be so tired. After barely resting in bed for a few days, Li Yuanmin began to rectify.
He first operated from the inside of Bei'an Palace, and ordered someone to take down the chief of the Palace.
The meeting hall was full of people, and everyone dared not make a sound. In the huge hall, there was only the sobbing of Manager Sun. Li Yuanmin didn't have much color on his face, but there was a sharp look between his brows.
Manager Sun, who was kneeling on the ground, burst into tears, "I beg Your Highness, don't send this old slave away, just cut off this old slave's title of manager, and stay in the mansion as a servant to serve His Highness..."
Li Yuanmin did not know his loyalty, but all the servants of the main courtyard were replaced, but the head of the first house did not ask for his consent, and even he was emptied, and no one in the house knew about it.
He naturally knew that the account could not be settled entirely on Director Sun, because he relied too much on that person. Everyone saw it, and naturally obeyed his orders like the orders of a vassal king. Before, he could tolerate it, but now he absolutely does not He is so stupefied, and now the rumors outside are nothing more than the fact that his cronies have switched to the First Prince's camp, and they are all staring at Bei'an Palace, if they don't frighten the inner court, something will happen again.
It can only be used as an example to others!
Sun Boss in the hall was crying heartbroken, Li Yuanmin calmed down, and shouted: "Pull it out, I will be responsible for twenty, and I will be expelled from the house."
The government soldiers hurried in, dragged Director Sun who was on the ground, and went outside.
The chamber gradually became quiet, with the sound of a needle falling.
Li Yuanmin was not in a hurry to speak. He scanned the crowd with his phoenix eyes and lowered his head. Then he said slowly: "I hope you will remember in the future, who is the real master of this Guang'an palace!"
All kneel down together, Jishou bows down.
After everyone retreated, Ni Ying, who was waiting at the side, brought a bowl of calming tea at the right time, and said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have asked Song Zhu to send money to Mrs. Sun, and it is more than enough for the elderly."
Li Yuanmin sighed, rubbed his brows tiredly, took the teacup, and took a few sips.
The girl on the side was tidying up the booklets on the table in an orderly manner.
Li Yuanmin looked at him, this girl is now as calm as another person, she no longer talks about those things, as if it had never happened, and in a short period of time, she has grown a lot, Li Yuanmin's heart Sour, but didn't say anything, just accompanied her to the backyard for lunch.
Having been busy for half a day, he was really tired. His whole body was limp, and he just felt sleepy. This afternoon nap, he slept until the sun was setting.
Ni Ying was afraid that he would sleep too much and would not be able to sleep at night, so she rushed in to wake him up.
"Your Highness..."
The person on the bed turned over, and the black hair poured down with his movements like running water. In the afterglow of the setting sun, his face had a soft light, his brows were slightly frowned, and he murmured in a coquettish nasal voice :
"Ariel..."
As soon as the voice fell, he became stiff for a moment, and after a while, he slowly got up.
Ni Ying pretended not to hear, and stepped forward to help him up: "Your Highness is like a lazy cat these days. If you don't wake up, it may be dark."
Li Yuanmin smiled along, and was about to get out of bed when suddenly a feeling of disgust rose from his chest and abdomen. He grabbed the skirt of his clothes and lay down on the side of the couch to retch.
Ni Ying hurriedly supported him and carried him on his back.
Li Yuanmin panted, suppressed the disgust at any rate, smiled calmly, and comforted the worried Ni Ying.
"I just got up in a hurry, it's okay."
Ni Ying looked at him carefully for a moment, and saw that he was wearing his belt on his own. The abnormality just now was gone, and he felt a little relieved.
"Aying, there is a letter for the elders of the Qi family, please arrange to deliver it personally..."
He remembered something, "I went to the warehouse to sort out the accounts for the past two months, and sent someone to the study. I have to look at it when I have time at night."
Ni Ying agreed and went quickly.
The sun has sunk into the sky, and the sky is full of red clouds. Through the veil, you can still feel the continuous heat.
Li Yuanmin sat there blankly for a long time, and finally spoke: "Songzhu, ask Uncle Qian to come over."
***
Uncle Qian knelt on the ground with a plop, tears running down his face.
Li Yuanmin no longer has the majesty and calmness of the day, he is like a panicked child, only trembling his lips: "You, didn't you say that I have no chance of having children, so many medicines, this king drank so much medicine… "
He thought of bowl after bowl of dark medicine, so bitter that the root of his tongue was astringent, and he drank it until his lower abdomen hurt unbearably, and there was no possibility of childbirth, so he stopped—obviously impossible.
He was extremely helpless, with no blood on his face: "How long has it been..."
Uncle Qian didn't have the face to confront him anymore, so he just kowtowed heavily: "More than one month, less than two months."
Li Yuanmin's eyes turned black, he fell back a few steps again and again, and collapsed on the imperial concubine's couch, desperate.
"More than one month, less than two months..."
It is before and after the Lingnan Army water exercise.
