I gently pushed open the door, put the medicine on the table, and said softly, "You're awake."
Wen Ruojing nodded slightly, with a sick look on his brow.
"Come on, drink the medicine." I picked up the bowl and came to her bedside. Her lips were pale and chapped, and she quietly looked at the steaming bowl of medicine in front of her.
My hands were shaking uncontrollably, the medicinal soup splashed out, dripping hot on the back of my hand.
"What kind of medicine is this?" She suddenly stared at me closely and asked in a questioning tone.
"... I'll give you some medicine for your body." After I finished speaking, my hands shook even more, and I didn't dare to look her in the eyes anymore.
"You lied to me!" she yelled, stretching out her hand to overturn the medicine. I looked at her with tears in my eyes, and begged: "For your health, you must drink this medicine."
"go away."
I stared blankly at the broken bowl on the ground, said "I'm sorry" to the air, and turned to leave.
I closed the door, and Wen Ruojing's crying sounded from inside the room.
The maid went in to pick up the debris, and I stood outside the door, looking up at the sky.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of fighting not far away. I followed the sound and saw two strange men fighting.
While the man in white was obviously in the upper hand, the man in black was quickly defeated and left in a sensible way.
I thought the place where I was standing was very hidden, but I didn't expect the man in white to have spotted me long ago. After the opponent left, I saw him adjust his clothes and look in my direction with a smile on his lips.
"Girl, next year." I watched him walk up to me, and said to me with fists clasped.
"So you are Mo Juenian... Who was that person just now?"
He pondered for a while, "Second Prince, Su Mian."
"Second prince... how could you fight with him?"
"He has been coveting the throne for a long time, and he also hates the emperor deeply. That day when Fuyang attacked the city, the scene was chaotic. Some soldiers said they saw him, and then the emperor accidentally fell off the tower... He must have evil intentions when he appears here. , and I drove him away."
I trembled all over, "You mean, he killed Liang Yi?"
"We can't jump to a conclusion on this matter. The emperor has long been on guard against him. Besides, Nanyang was in danger that day. It would not benefit him at all if he attacked at that time."
"Then... where is Liang Yi now?" I finally dared not to ask the question at this moment, but as soon as the words fell, my eyes filled with tears.
"Put it in the main hall." Mo Juenian replied.
In the past few days, Wen Ruojing's health has become worse and worse, and even the imperial physician secretly told me that Concubine Wen's time is numbered.
She often thinks of Liang Yi, and sometimes tells me the details of their meeting and acquaintance. Whenever this time, she looks into the distance, with a faint smile on her lips, she looks especially beautiful.
Maybe lovesickness is too bitter, her illness is getting worse and worse, she often coughs, and taking medicine every day is useless.
And so it went for a while. One day, I saw Mo Juenian enter the palace to find Li Sha. I stood outside the house and heard them discussing how to seek help from Cangdu.
I have also heard a lot of rumors about Cangdu recently. He Wu fell ill, and most of the political affairs were handed over to his second son, He Yun. As for the imperial relatives locked in the prison, they have not been dealt with until now, but with such a delay, the people inside are no longer alive.
Mo Juenian said that He Yun went to Fuyang and entered the palace to face the saint. Although I don't know the reason, Cangdu is probably showing goodwill to Fuyang on the surface, and now Cangdu is no longer the former Cangdu, and the political marriage between the two countries not long ago is like a joke to Nanyang.
I went into the house, looked at them and said, "Maybe I can try."
"He Yun once told me that if I encounter difficulties, I can go to him."
"Really? Miss Wen." Mo Juenian looked at me very happily, then he looked at Li Sha again, and said, "There is finally a turning point."
"By the way, how did you know He Yun?" Mo Juenian looked at me curiously again and asked.
I smiled and said casually, "It's considered that we don't know each other."
Li Sha didn't say a word the whole time. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said slowly: "Tomorrow, I will go to Fuyang with you."
I heard that although He Yun's trip was to enter the palace to face the saint, he did not live in the palace, but in an inn in Fuyang. After we arrived in Fuyang, we went straight to the inn, but unfortunately, he entered the palace early this morning.
Until night, his carriage stopped at the door of the inn. The streets during this time period are very lively. I don’t know what festival it is. Every household hangs red lanterns. There are also many vendors selling lanterns, all kinds of masks and various gadgets.
He got out of the carriage and seemed attracted by the bustling noises around him. Instead of going into the inn, he walked to a mask-selling stall opposite and stopped.
Li Sha hid under the tree, watching me walking in He Yun's direction. When I walked nearby, he was concentrating on picking out the mask and didn't notice me. There were a few red lanterns hanging beside him. I was thinking about how to say hello through the lanterns. After a while, he suddenly picked up the lantern in front of me with great interest, and then looked at each other unexpectedly. The next second I pulled out a smile, a little embarrassed.
"Wen Yi?"
"It's me." I replied quickly.
He suddenly stopped talking, but picked up the mask under his hand and handed it to me casually, "Send it to you."
I froze, and reached out to catch it.
Then, they stopped talking to each other, my ears were filled with all kinds of lively voices, which made me unable to think. After finally slowing down, I looked at him hesitantly and said: "Actually, I..."
"I saw this mask just now, and I thought of you. I didn't expect you to appear when I thought about it." He looked at me and said lightly.
I looked down at the mask in my hand, it was a blushing, smiling little doll, I couldn't help muttering: "This doesn't look like me..."
He stopped talking. I wanted to find a quiet place to talk, but suddenly I felt that such a noisy atmosphere was quite good. So I said to him without thinking, "Can you do me a favor?"
He looked at me and replied, "But it's okay to say."
"Can you, give Nanyang reinforcements?"
He heard the words and looked at me quietly without answering. I felt that he seemed reluctant, so I said: "You once said that if I have any difficulties, I can come to you."
"Just help me this time, just treat it as what I owe you, and you can ask me for it back in the future." A team of beating gongs and drums came from the crowd, my voice was gradually drowned in the drumbeat, and I panicked. , grabbed his sleeve, leaned into his ear and said, "Let's talk in another place."
"Fuyang's troops are strong. Even with Cangdu's help, it will be difficult for Nanyang to overcome this difficulty. Besides, as far as I know, Nanyang is facing internal and external troubles now." He looked at me and said lightly.
"No matter how difficult it is, we will never give up. Nanyang is my best friend who risked his life to protect it. For him, we will persist until the last moment." I looked at him and said firmly.
He was silent for a while, and then said to me: "I will use all the forces at my disposal to assist Nanyang, and at the same time I will send someone to protect you."
"Thank you." I concealed the fluctuations in my heart, and nodded to him, "By the way, have you planned how to deal with the royal family in the prison?"
"Do you want to ask Su Yuning?"
I froze for a moment, then nodded.
"She married Cangdu not long ago. As far as I know, she has no relationship with her husband. People who do not pose a threat to us will not be killed indiscriminately."
After watching He Yun leave, I raised my eyes to look at the crowd, everyone was admiring the lanterns, talking and laughing, everything seemed to be fine.
At this time, a person stood in front of me, she had a beautiful face, and she smiled at me, "Wen Yi, long time no see."
At this time, I didn't want to see her. I turned my head to see where Li Sha was, but was blocked by the crowd.
"Can you chat with me?" She asked tentatively from the side.
"I have nothing to talk to you." I said and walked forward.
"Yingying, she has something for me to pass on to you."
I stopped and turned to look at her.
She looked at me softly and said: "She is doing well now, so you don't have to worry about her."
"How could it be okay if she married someone who doesn't love herself?"
"Someone will protect her... maybe someday soon, you'll be able to see her happy."
I stared at her for a long time and said softly, "Thank you for telling me this."
She nodded, hesitated and said, "Wen Yi, I heard bad news recently, and I ordered everyone to keep it a secret from Lisu. I know that in his heart, you have always been his most important relatives. I don't want to see him get hit. Attacking Nanyang is not what he wants. This matter is related to the emperor's oral order and various reasons for his succession. I am not telling you these things to ask you to forgive me. I just want you to know, Li Su He is not a person who doesn't care about family and siblings."
I smiled and said: "If you can make me stop hating him and forget Liang Yi's blood-stained face with a few words, I really want to thank you."
I turned around and was about to leave, but she said lightly behind me: "He said he wanted to see you."
