The moon sets, the morning rises, and the sky reveals a hint of fish-belly white. The night has finally come to an end.
At this moment, Brother Shu Wuluan was sitting quietly on the couch, lost in thought. The slightly wrinkled white pajamas, slightly messy hair, and the lingering anxiety on her face all indicated that she had just woken up.
Although she was sitting on the couch with a silent expression, her heart was chaotic and extremely unpeaceful.
Last night, in order to keep the sick man warm, she almost threw away all her reservations and worries and held him tightly in her arms all night.
She didn't dare to let go of him for a moment, even though her body was uncomfortably stiff, her arms were numb from his pillow, and even though the chill coming from his body was so chilling that it pierced her heart, she never let go.
She didn't know if this would work, but when she recalled that the yamen officer from the supervision camp had said that the doctor was helpless, she couldn't care about that much and could only give it a try, hoping that her body temperature could withstand the stubbornness. of cold syndrome.
During this period, she also fed him a few pills again, and then kept rubbing his arms, chest, and back to prevent him from freezing. After that, she began to be endlessly worried.
Fortunately, the sky paid off, and his body was finally no longer so cold, but gradually regained some warmth.
Seeing that his face had regained its color, and his breath slowly warmed up, and he no longer whispered about the cold and pain, at that moment, she felt her heart fall back to its original position, and she felt greatly relieved. After a breath, at the same time, my eyelids became increasingly heavy and I couldn't lift them up.
In the end, she couldn't resist the heavy sleepiness and fell asleep.
During this sleep, she slept very peacefully, and had a warm and happy dream. In the dream, she found her mother and father, and the family was reunited with endless joy.
Moreover, she got married to the silver-haired man, and they both resigned from their jobs and retired, starting a life of traveling around the world.
They went to the grassland, rode horses across the endless wilderness, and experienced the freedom and ease of the endless wilderness. I have lived in a nomad’s tent, worn Hu clothing, seen bonfires, eaten barbecue, tasted mare’s milk wine, listened to the melodious tunes of the moron fiddle, and sang the love song of the grassland - kiss you, hold hands and dance together.
They also yearned for the south of the Yangtze River, visited the fish and rice water town, with its small bridges and flowing water, white walls and black tiles, learned Wu Nong's soft language, and felt the tranquility of the ancient town of Yuxiang.
They have also climbed to the top of snowy mountains, and stepped on the mountains at their feet. A vast expanse of silver appeared in front of their eyes, covering all the mundane colors in the world, leaving only purity. They picked beautiful ice lotuses, walked side by side in the snow to look for plum blossoms, and watched with laughter as three thousand flowers bloomed overnight...
But a dream is a dream after all, and there is always a time to wake up. At that moment, all the good things will disappear, leaving only a touch of sadness.
At that time, she was awakened by the rustling sound of getting up. She knew that his cold had subsided, and she also knew that he wanted to leave the room for her sake.
At that time, she deliberately pretended to be asleep and did not open her eyes to look. She did not dare to look, but she was also a little nostalgic. Until the man gently kissed her on the forehead and said softly, "This night will be my most beautiful night." Unforgettable memories! I really hope that the cold syndrome can last forever... and not get better."
It wasn't until the door opened and closed, the sound of his footsteps gradually disappeared, and the room fell into complete silence, as quiet as dead water, that she opened her eyes leisurely, sat up, and has been in trance until now.
Suddenly, a low cough came faintly from the guest room next door, which suddenly broke up Brother Shu Wuluan's indulging thoughts.
He hurriedly got off the bed, put on his clothes, straightened his slightly messy hair, then stepped out and ordered the waiter to prepare toiletries.
Today's weather is cloudless, blue and clear, and rows of birds flutter their wings across the clouds, soaring freely into the far-reaching sky.
Early in the morning, after having a meal, they set off again to Chanzhou.
This morning, brother Shu Wuluan was deliberately avoiding Yan Qisha. Even during breakfast, he avoided eating at separate tables. Even if he accidentally made eye contact, she would dodge away.
In order to avoid embarrassment and to stabilize her restless heart, she gave up riding and instead chose to drive with Lei.
Recalling the sudden scenes and chaotic mood last night, her heart could not calm down.
Fortunately, the empress did not notice the movement in her room last night. Otherwise, I don’t know what to think.
Although there was nothing between them, and she was just trying to take care of him who was sick, in the end, there was still a difference between men and women, and this was not allowed by etiquette. As Lei said, men and women cannot be intimate...
Along the way, Brother Shu Wuluan spent the entire time in a trance and confusion, his expression changing in an instant. Looking in Xia Xuefenglei's eyes, he felt a bitter tangle in his heart, but he also faintly felt sorry for her.
Yan Qisha, who was riding behind the carriage, was thinking silently, feeling satisfied, worried, and vaguely depressed. Occasionally he glanced at the plain clothes beside the carriage and was stunned, and occasionally raised his eyes to look at the deep blue sky. Meditating, I don’t know what I am thinking about.
The silence, accompanied by the clatter of horse hooves, drifted away melodiously.
It was not until dusk fell that they finally arrived at Zenzhou's palace.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting darker, and a layer of light dark gray was cast everywhere.
The wheel stopped steadily in front of the majestic palace building of the palace. The buildings behind the door were towering and eye-catching, rolling up and down as vast and far away as mountains.
I saw two soldiers in military uniforms guarding the door in front of the building. The leading soldier saw a carriage approaching the palace, stepped forward with a gun, and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you set foot in the emperor's palace? I See if you are tired of living, get out of here, otherwise don’t blame Master Bing, I will send you to prison!"
Hearing the cold scolding, Ge Shu Wuluan curled his lips slightly. She didn't expect that the incompetent and mediocre commander of Chanzhou could lead such a serious and serious soldier, which surprised her.
However, seeing that there were only two of them guarding the door in front of the building at this time, it was expected that Luan Jia's team had not arrived yet, otherwise the goalkeepers would not be so sparse.
Thinking about it, he immediately jumped out of the carriage with an expressionless face, his plain clothes dancing in the wind, holding a golden token in his hand, and said in a solemn voice: "Ask your commander Gao Jue to come and pick him up."
Hearing this, the soldier's face was shocked. He glanced at the token in the woman's hand, hurriedly put away his spear, cupped his fists and saluted, turned around and ran into the gatehouse.
Not long after, Duan saw Chanzhou's resident general Gao Jue and a group of state officials who had been waiting at the palace to greet him respectfully came out.
Although this commander looks mediocre and incompetent, he actually has a rather shrewd face. He looks like he is nearly forty years old, with a bearded face, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, a tall and straight figure, and every step he takes is steady and tenacious. Like stone pine.
As he gradually arrived in front of the monarch, he was busy bowing down and bowing. The officials behind him also knelt down with panic, and said in fear: "Your Majesty is here, and you will neglect your duties and make your Majesty wait for a long time. I hope your Majesty will forgive you!"
According to the news sent before, the imperial chariot should arrive in Xu hours later, but unexpectedly, it arrived nearly an hour earlier. What made him even more unexpected was that the monarch came incognito...
Thinking about it, Gao Jue felt a little frightened and buried his head lower, but maintained a calm look on his face.
The monarch raised his hand, but did not show any displeasure, "No problem, get up and lead the way."
At this point, the group of people stood up in a hurry and walked into the palace to welcome the monarch.
The palace in front of us has been built for more than 20 years. After the death of the late emperor, the monarch has never visited him. It has been idle for many years and has been baptized by wind and frost. Perhaps it is due to lack of popularity, so the palace and palace are slightly... The vicissitudes of life have failed, but one can still vaguely observe the majestic and gorgeous scene of the year from the tall and towering buildings.
The undulating buildings and palaces have double eaves and jade tiles like scales. The cloisters and verandahs are circuitous and orderly, and are connected at random.
In the huge palace, there are pavilions, gardens, stages, ornamental lakes, animal gardens, pavilions for dining and banquets, and water pavilions.
While walking on the palace road, I heard that the king and the concubine were talking to each other, "My dear concubine, look at it, the palace is not any worse than the palace in the capital. My father really loved it back then... Here !”
Although the tone was emotional, there was a deliberate pause at the end of the words, which had a different meaning.
The concubine nodded in agreement, "The late emperor had a foresight. This is truly a place of spiritual charm. Otherwise, how could a rare 'celestial phenomenon' appear?!"
Brother Shu Wuluan followed behind and listened quietly to the conversation between the two. Occasionally he glanced at Yan Qisha beside him, but saw that he was silently lost in thought at this time, with a slightly sad expression on his face, as if he was deep in thought. What, but she vaguely felt that he seemed to be deliberately suppressing his emotions.
A white marble road leads to the main hall of Zhuang Xing in the distance. On both sides of the road, waiters are waiting on the ground to greet the imperial driver and his entourage as they slowly pass by.
Because the palace has been idle all year round, there are no attendants here. The general only arranged for people to come over regularly to clean the palace. At present, in order to welcome the Holy Emperor, these attendants are temporarily dispatched from various official residences. Although the selection is shrewd and careful. As a person who has never witnessed Tianyan or witnessed the majesty of the emperor, it is inevitable that he will be a little in a hurry, more than trembling, and not enough safety.
The commander, Gao Jue, respectfully welcomed the emperor all the way to Yuming Palace to rest, and sent waiters to wait on him carefully. Then he retired to arrange the night banquet. A group of officials bowed to the king and the concubine and then left one after another.
Afterwards, Ge Shu Wuluan and Yan Qisha responded to the imperial concubine's order and went to Ronghua Hall in Xianju Mountain in advance, obviously to survey the terrain and to check whether there were any assassins lurking in advance, so that they could prepare for the Holy Driving the next day. Being able to climb mountains safely and observe the celestial phenomena smoothly is actually to find out whether the so-called celestial phenomena are real or a trap.
Before leaving the palace, brother Shu Wuluan specifically asked Xia Xuefenglei to stay close to his two masters, and to stay close to them until they came back without any negligence.
Although there were many soldiers escorting the chariot in the palace, and the people stationed inside and outside were very tight and strict, even if there were unruly people, they could not get even close to the chariot, but she still felt uneasy. Fortunately, she had Lei with her. At this point, she finally breathed a sigh of relief despite her worries.
However, with such a high level of nervousness and cautious behavior like her, it feels funny to think that she is overly cautious.
