Even with such careful care, Concubine Nan's body was still weakening day by day. He could hide it before, but later he coughed up blood, and he was useless, so he could only rest on the soft couch, and he didn't even have the strength to walk two steps down the ground.
Looking at the snow on the branches outside the window, it will rustle and fall when the wind blows.
Concubine Nan tucked back the heavy blanket on her body, her eyes shone brightly, "Yuchan, Busu, take a quick look, are the peach blossoms blooming on the branches? It looks like spring is here."
Yuchan didn't dare to say no, but just nodded repeatedly, "I'll go and have a look, servant girl."
Bo Yunxiu already knew how to walk, eat and sleep by herself, and even the emperor began to teach the children to read and write. But the child still didn't talk much, and looked very well-behaved.
Hearing the movement, the little guy stuck to the edge of the soft couch, looking at his concubine mother eagerly, as if he was afraid that the concubine mother would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Children are young, but they don't really know what death is.
"Little Xiu'er, what should I do with you?" Concubine Nan Gui sighed softly.
When Han Busu came back, Concubine Nan Gui had already fallen asleep.
"I don't eat much today." Yuchan was talking to Han Busu in the yard, "I didn't sleep well, and I chattered with the second prince and talked a lot, but the servant listened... and felt panicked Miss Han, is there really nothing I can do?"
"I've tried my best!" Han Busu sighed softly.
Yuchan looked around, "Miss Han, can you get to know the slaves? Madam, she..."
"One year at most!" Han Busu lowered his eyes, "I have used all the methods that can be used, but her spirit has long since collapsed. She can hold on but cannot let go of the child and the emperor."
Yuchan's eyes were red, "Yes!"
"These days, keep an eye on it, there must be nothing wrong." Han Busu glanced at the closed palace door, "Actually, she is so smart, how could she not understand? It's just that she sees too clearly, but Let the people around you... can't let go!"
"How about the second prince?" Yuchan wiped her tears.
"There is the emperor!" Han Busu glanced at the snow that was gradually melting on the branches, "In the past two years, the emperor seldom went to the harem, but he was actually prepared, wasn't he? The emperor's heart is like a mirror."
Yuchan froze for a moment, but didn't dare to say anything.
The emperor knew that Concubine Nan Guifei's time was short, and wished he could be with her all day, so he was not willing to share his time with other women. However, Concubine Nan Gui always pushes the emperor away, thinking that she is very ugly in illness, and refuses to see the emperor.
But he didn't know that every time she fell asleep, the emperor would lie at the window and watch like a thief. He guarded her carefully for fear of alarming her.
From Yuchan and Han Busu's point of view, this is still the emperor, Baba's appearance, anyone who sees it will be moved.
The emperor occasionally went to the harem, but only to the Guan family and the empress palace.
For Guanju Palace, no one has the desire to fight, knowing that they can't compete.
But when the emperor leaves Guanju Palace, the harem will be ready to move, and the empress and the Guan family have been at odds for a long time. Originally, it was the empress who overwhelmed Guan Shi, but not long ago, the emperor was assassinated on the palace road, fortunately Guan Shi blocked the knife and almost died of his injuries, fortunately he got the Tianchan Xueyu pill from a foreign country, so he retrieved a piece of it. Life.
Because of Guan's meritorious service in escorting, the emperor made Guan a noble concubine.
Concubine Nan Gui of Guanju Palace was always weak and never stepped out of the palace gate, so everyone in the palace knew that Guan was a noble concubine second only to the queen, and was granted the power to handle the affairs of the six palaces by the emperor.
Not long after, Guan became pregnant again.
The queen gritted her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do.
Inside the small courtyard.
Wei Ruoyun sat in the corridor with her belly outstretched, staring straight at the closed courtyard door. What she can do every day is three meals a day, and waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for the person who rarely comes back.
Suddenly, the courtyard door opened.
Wei Ruoyun hurriedly got up and rushed down the steps, but...it was not Han Tianming who came in, but Lu Rujing who was beside Han Tianming.
"Why is it you?" Wei Ruoyun looked behind him, and finally ran to the gate of the courtyard.
"Don't look, he didn't come!" Lu Rujing stood there looking at her, "You are Wei's daughter after all, because of a man, you made your family homeless, and you still have a big belly."
Wei Ruoyun gritted his back molars, "What about others?"
"Second Han has gone to the palace!" Lu Rujing looked at her with raised eyebrows, and smiled meaningfully, "Wei Ruoyun, do you think you can keep him with a child? A bird without feet can fly high with its wings. It's not the tip of your heart." The person on the tip, why should he protect it in the palm of his hand?"
Wei Ruoyun opened his mouth, intending to refute a few words, but finally closed his mouth without saying a word.
If you ask some questions, you can't take them back!
Enter the palace
palace…
When Zhao Lianyi came, she just watched a figure disappear around the corner of the street, and she didn't come to her senses for a while, who is this? Seems familiar? !
"What are you doing here?" Wei Ruoyun said with a cold face.
Zhao Lianyi frowned slightly, looking at her slightly red eyes, as if she had been crying, she felt a little strange in her heart, "Who came here just now?"
"None of your business!" Wei Ruoyun rubbed her belly, she couldn't see that Zhao Lianyi's feelings for Han Tianming, on the surface, were brothers and sisters, but in fact... Zhao Lianyi couldn't help but love each other.
However, this layer of window paper was not pierced, and the two could still get along peacefully. Without this layer of window paper, I'm afraid Han Tianming's temper... would alienate Zhao Lianyi.
So Zhao Lianyi didn't dare, even if she was a junior sister, at least she could see and follow her senior brother all the time.
"Wei Ruoyun, I have no malice. You are pregnant with a brother's child. To me, it is like a nephew." Zhao Lianyi took a deep breath, "I just came to see if my brother is here. I have something to ask Him. Since he's not here, I'll go first. "
"He has entered the palace!" Wei Ruoyun said.
Zhao Lianyi was taken aback, "What?"
"Don't you understand?" Wei Ruoyun gritted his molars, "He has entered the palace."
Enter the palace
Zhao Lianyi looked slightly ill, and walked out without saying a word.
One or two looked strange, there must be a ghost!
In Changfu Palace.
Mo Yu stayed in the yard, and all the servants withdrew.
"I've been very naughty lately, always kicking me!" Guan Shengxue stroked his belly with a smile.
Han Tianming squatted down and put his ear on her stomach, "I'm afraid he's a brat."
"Do you like it?" she asked.
Han Tianming thought for a while, "It would be great if I had a daughter who is as obedient and beautiful as you."
"Don't you want a son?" Guan Shengxue frowned slightly.
"As long as it was born by you, it's fine!"
Zhao Lianyi stood by the back window, and finally left with a pale complexion.
It turned out to be a life-saving grace, but who would have thought that after offering sacrifices to the ancestors, we would meet again. Lonely and cold in the palace, free and easy outside the palace, he once flew up to the treetops with her on his back, saw the endless forests, tried the wind... the feeling of his gentle embrace passed by his ears.
After tasting the warmth, I can no longer bear the cold and scruples.
One indulgence, who knows... a child in the womb!
But Guan Shengxue didn't regret it, although some things were absurd, but only she understood how absurd life in this palace was.
She wants to be favored by the emperor, but the emperor doesn't love her, and the emperor's only thoughts are in Guanju Palace.
She doesn't want to fight, but the queen keeps staring at her, so what can she do? Had to fight.
After many years, the love has long been dispersed. In this ruthless palace, only the word "survival" is true, and the others are false. She is a woman, and she also hopes that someone loves and loves her, and even more hope that one day she will be left behind. A beloved man's child.
For example, the flesh and blood in the abdomen.
"I hope it's a son." Guan Shengxue said in a low voice, "That's the continuation of your blood and mine. I want him to accompany me. Even if you can't go to the palace often, I think it's nice to be able to look at a boy with similar features to yours. ... it's worth it!"
Han Tianming looked up at her, gently held her cool hand, and smiled softly, "It's all good!"
However, he can't stay in Changfu Palace for too long. After all, he entered the palace to report to the emperor. The guardians shoulder the heavy responsibility of refining the longevity medicine, and Han Tianming has more knowledge about where the longevity medicine will be used. clear.
The one from Guanju Palace probably won't last long.
The more anxious the emperor was, the more seriously ill Concubine Nan Gui was.
If there is no Concubine Nan Gui, then there will be a short-term vacancy in the harem.
After leaving the palace, Han Tianming didn't plan to go to Wei Ruoyun's place either.
He has cooperated with the Wei family, but he has no interest in Wei Ruoyun. If he didn't want to use this to restrain the Wei family and make the Wei family trust him, he would never pretend to be Chinese medicine.
How could these little tricks have been hidden from his eyes
Just need a pawn that's all!
For two months, Han Tianming did not go to the courtyard.
In the end, it was the people from the Wei family who came to the clan guard station and found Han Tianming, saying that Wei Ruoyun was crying day and night, and if he didn't go there, something might happen.
For women, what he dislikes the most is this kind of stalking. The woman he needs is like Guan Shengxue, who is beautiful, gentle, obedient, and knows how to advance and retreat, and never asks about him.
Han Tianming entered the courtyard with a cold face, and Wei Ruoyun was already waiting in the courtyard.
"Brother Han!" Wei Ruoyun pursed his lips, "Are you finally willing to see me?"
willing
Obviously forced to come back.
Han Tianming walked over slowly, looked at her protruding belly, then at her slightly dark face, couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes, "What do you want to do?"
"I made a few small dishes with my own hands, you stay and have a meal with me!" Wei Ruoyun said, with an imperative tone in his tone.
She is the eldest daughter of the Wei family, even her parents are afraid of her, she has always been pampered and loved, so it is difficult to restrain her proud temperament. Xu Shi realized that his tone was not very good, Wei Ruoyun bit his lips subconsciously, "Can, is it okay?"
Han Tianming frowned slightly, and walked inside without saying a word.
Is this the intention? !
It was originally a matter of a meal, and eating well was enough, but Wei Ruoyun was arrogant, no matter whether he should say it or not, he would poke it out all over the place.
"What are you going to Changfu Palace for?" Wei Ruoyun asked.
Han Tianming's hand holding the chopsticks froze slightly, and stared at her coldly, "Following me?"
He had kept her cold for so long, so she was naturally anxious, so she had to send someone to guard the palace until two days ago, when she finally found out some clues and saw a similar figure coming out of Changfu Palace.
But the speed was too fast, and the spies didn't see it clearly.
Just now, Wei Ruoyun just asked this casually, but seeing Han Tianming's expression, she knew that she had guessed right. The jealousy and hatred deep in my heart are like vines, which grow and spread at the fastest speed, and finally strangle my neck, which is enough to suffocate.
"Imperial concubine!" Wei Ruoyun's chopsticks thumped on the table, "What's your relationship with her?"
"What identity are you asking me now?" Han Tianming shook off his chopsticks and walked away.
Wei Ruoyun was startled, and hurriedly stopped him, "Where are you going? Do you want to go to the palace to find her? What's so good about her? That's the emperor's woman, a woman someone else slept with. Isn't it enough to have me? The one who treats you sincerely!"
"You took medicine, how can you be sincere?" Han Tianming shook off her and walked out in big strides.
"If you dare to go out, I will ask my father to play and say that she is filthy and messy in the palace. The imperial concubine of Changfu Palace, you know who the child in your belly is!" Wei Ruoyun gritted his molars, "Han Tianming, I absolutely Don't allow the father of the child to stay by the side of other women!"
"How did this child get here, do you want me to remind you again?" Han Tianming walked away in a huff.
It wasn't until he walked down the steps that Wei Ruoyun really panicked, "Brother Han! Brother Han, don't go! Brother Han!"
"Brother Han!" Wei Ruoyun was hysterical.
Han Tianming left anyway, no matter how much she cried.
A ruthless person is ruthless to everyone, or in other words, only shows the softness he should have to those he likes. And this kind of tenderness is something that Wei Ruoyun never got from the beginning to the end.
Zhao Lianyi followed Han Tianming all the way into the forest, and Han Tianming stopped.
"How?" Han Tianming asked.
Zhao Lianyi nodded, "It's done! It's just what are the secret chamber and the ice coffin used for? Also, those medicines..."
Han Tianming took a deep breath, "If you can't refine the elixir, the emperor will definitely deal with the guardian clan, and I will bear it alone. You don't have to interfere, just stay away! Although you have joined the guardian clan, you are a witch clan after all. Not a real guardian, with your skills, escaping should be a breeze!"
"Brother?" Zhao Lianyi was shocked, "You, you are..."
"It's just being prepared, it may not be really useful!" Han Tianming stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep, "If there is such a day, it will depend on you! If you can keep my body, find it in the future With the Soul Resurrection Gu, I can be resurrected from the dead."
Zhao Lianyi gritted her teeth, "But, but I don't know where the soul-returning Gu is hidden. The patriarch's secret box of the guardian has been lost. You..."
"That's why I said, this is just my retreat." Han Tianming sighed softly, "Maybe, that's the end of it!"
"Absolutely not!" Zhao Lianyi shook his head, "I will never let anyone hurt you!"
Han Tianming stepped forward and hugged her gently, "Junior Sister, thank you!"
Zhao Lianyi stretched out her hand, but before she had time to hug him back, he had already pulled away and walked quickly towards the front.
Withdrawing her hands, Zhao Lianyi settled down and followed quickly, "Brother, wait for me!"
Just as Han Busu expected, Concubine Nan Gui had already reached the point when the oil was exhausted and the lamps were dying. She had seen the spring flowers bloom, and saw the Pinghu Lake in full bloom.
The emperor carried a vat of lotus into the courtyard of Guanju Palace, just to make Concubine Nan happy.
"How?" The emperor tied the shawl for her, "It's windy by the lake, so it's good to just watch it in this yard."
Concubine Nan's complexion was reddish, it was unknown whether it was caused by coughing, or because it was blown by the wind, her brows and eyes were full of bright light, and she looked at him tenderly, "I have been trapped in this corner for many years!"
The emperor was shocked physically and mentally, and he couldn't help but tighten her hand tightly.
"Sometimes I want to turn into a kite and fly out like this." She looked up at the sky, "Look at the blue sky and white clouds, I haven't seen the sky outside the palace for many years."
"When you are better, I will go out with you. Riding a horse with you, flying a kite with you, as long as you want to do, I will accompany you!" The emperor hugged her tightly and rubbed her in his arms desperately, "OK? "
It could be heard that there was a pleading in his voice.
The hint of choking made her nose sore and her heart ache, "Okay! Then I will try my best to get better, and let you accompany me to ride a horse, accompany me to fly a kite, and others..."
Wait for the afterlife!
"Little Xiu'er is still so young, you must get better!" The emperor choked up, the seven-foot man, ninety-five years old, but his eyes were scarlet and filled with tears, "How can you bear to hurt him so much?"
"The one who is most reluctant to part with you is you." Concubine Nan Gui sighed softly, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I met you in this life, and I have nothing to ask for. I have everything a woman wants in this life, and I am really satisfied. "
The emperor shook his head, "I don't want to."
"I originally wanted the child to leave the palace and be an ordinary person from now on, but if you don't even leave this thought to you, what should you do?" She looked at him with a smile, and suddenly burst into tears, "But And worried, if you keep him, will you think of me every day? Lovesickness is bitter, lovesickness is bitter, lovesickness is hard to meet again. "
In the distance, Han Busu turned and left.
She really tried her best.
It is not easy to keep Concubine Nan Gui alive till now with all her medical skills.
When Concubine Nan Gui left, it was at the end of summer and when the autumn wind was blowing.
The yellow leaves swished down from the tree and fell to the ground to form a thick layer.
There was a lot of crying in Guanju Palace. When the emperor walked out of Guanju Palace with the child in his arms, everyone in the palace was shocked. No one expected that Concubine Nan Gui would leave a prince for the emperor, and what was even more unexpected was that the emperor also helped to hide the truth from the world.
The most shocked should be the Queen.
Originally thought that there was only one eldest son of the emperor, who was a threat from himself and the crown prince, but he did not expect that there would be a second prince, Bo Yunxiu.
Concubine Nan Gui hid her son and made the queen and Guan fight each other.
The queen gritted her back molars, her viciousness was simply outrageous!
Concubine Nan Gui had a great funeral, and the emperor immediately ordered that the guardian be overthrown, and no chicken or dog would be left behind.
A large number of soldiers went straight to the guardian's garrison and were ordered to strangle the guardian. Some clansmen had gone out to do business earlier, so they didn't come back, and they dare not come back now. The entire guard garrison was dripping with blood!
The enchantment originally set up in the forest was useless and was broken into by a sergeant.
The old and the weak, women and children, were not spared.
Han Busu knew from the moment that the guardians fell into Han Tianming's hands that it would be a matter of time. In order to refine the medicine of immortality, the guardians even used living people to refine Gu, and did those dirty things by all means.
Han Busu took a deep breath, and turned around indifferently after listening to the brutal fighting. When she was in misfortune, none of the clansmen who claimed to have watched her grow up stood up and spoke for her, so now...
Han Tianming ran away.
Lu Rujing also ran away.
It doesn't matter to Qian Mian, he is good at disguise, he is already excellent in lightness kung fu, trying to catch him is almost as difficult as climbing the sky.
Inside Changfu Palace.
Guan Shengxue heard that the family members had undergone a surprise change, and she was born prematurely due to abdominal pain. It took two full days and two nights to give birth to the premature baby. "Is it a man or a woman?" Guan Shengxue was covered in sweat, her hair was sticky to her face, and the bed was covered with bright red blood.
Mo Yu breathed slightly, "It's my daughter."
Something seemed to crack suddenly, and the hope in Guan Shengxue's eyes was instantly shattered, "How could it be a daughter? Why is it a daughter? Why?"
The guardian clan encountered a catastrophe, if he could have a son, then Han Tianming would have a descendant of flesh and blood, but now...
"Ma'am, my daughter is good, caring." Mo Yu said hurriedly.
Wen Po and the palace maid are still packing up, and the whole room is extremely messy.
"Moyu!" Guan Shengxue's face darkened, "Don't let others know, I gave birth to a daughter, and block the news for now! The emperor wants to wipe out the guardian clan, and now he has to take care of the funeral of Concubine Nan. If he knows that I gave birth A daughter, I am afraid that Longyan will be furious."
Mo Yu nodded, immediately put down the child and walked outside.
Guan Shengxue picked up the child exhaustedly, looked at the small, wrinkled, and glowing red child, with mixed feelings in his heart, "Your father's life and death are unknown, what should I do? Why... If you were a boy, mother would definitely help you Climb to the ninth five position."
Unfortunately, it was a daughter.
The window suddenly opened, and a figure rushed into the room quickly.
"How?" Han Tianming sat on the side of the bed safely, "Thanks for your hard work."
Guan Shengxue burst into tears suddenly, "How dare you enter the palace?"
"I'll hug you!" Han Tianming stretched out his hand and took the infant child, "Is it a son or a daughter?"
"It's...a daughter!" Guan Shengxue wiped away tears, "I failed to give you a son, will you..."
"Hello, daughter!" Han Tianming was ecstatic, "It's so good! It's a daughter, it's a daughter! I finally got what I wanted! Very good! Very good!"
The side effect of Immortality Gu is coming again, now is a good opportunity.
and…
"What are you looking at?" Guan Shengxue was puzzled, "Is there something wrong with the child?"
"This child..." Han Tianming squinted his eyes. Although the blood is not absolutely pure, it is also an excellent bone and blood. At least half of the blood of the witch clan has been passed down. It is simply an excellent container for raising Gu.
The next moment, Guan Shengxue was shocked, "What are you doing?"
She watched Han Busu quickly put something into the child's body, and in the blink of an eye, the child who had opened his eyes suddenly closed his eyes, his face pale.
"You killed her?" Guan Shengxue was anxious.
Han Tianming shook his head, "I put Phoenix Gu into our daughter's body, so that I can protect her from growing up, even without me, Phoenix Gu can protect her well."
As he said that, he handed her another box, "There is Phoenix Gu in it. If you want to control someone in the future, let him take the Phoenix Gu. If he dares not to obey, he will definitely live or die. I have already written the prescription, you memorize it and burn it, remember?"
Guan Shengxue stared at him steadfastly, and unexpectedly took the box by a mysterious messenger, and nodded emphatically.
Phoenix Gu
Phoenix Gu
The red-hot key was fiercely branded on the child's arm, and Han Tianming breathed slightly, "This will become the symbol of the young master who protects the clan. We must take good care of our child. I can't stay for long, and I will come again when I have a chance." you!"
When the sound fell, Han Tianming jumped and disappeared quickly.
Guan Shengxue hugged the child tightly, feeling uneasy, this... what the hell is this doing? She quickly checked the child's arm, the immature arm was red and swollen from the heat, even so, there was no cry, it can be seen that the phoenix Gu just now... must not be an ordinary thing!
After leaving the palace, Han Tianming handed the bronze key to Qianmian, "Take it away, the child is still young, and I will leave it to you for safekeeping!"
Shocked, he carefully took the key, "What about you?"
