In the middle of the night in the Palace of Shangqing, Rong Ting was awakened by a nightmare.
He was sitting in the middle of the dragon couch, sweating profusely, and the quilt on his body was thrown away.
The eunuch guarding outside the hall listened to the sound, and hurriedly led people in. Seeing the appearance of the new emperor, the eunuch hurried forward to inquire.
Rong Ting was originally chaotic, with a body that had not been healthy for a long time, covered in golden obscene clothes, his bones were bony, his eyes were completely black and blue, his hands were clutching the sheets on the dragon couch, and his nails sank in.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" the eunuch called twice.
Rong Ting seemed to have regained his senses just now, he looked at the misty outside room, the little eunuchs lit a few candles one after another, and there was some light around them. "
What time is it? " asked Rong Ting.
The eunuch replied: "It's two quarters ugly."
Rong Ting stretched out his hand to press the center of his brow, but what he touched was his wet forehead.
Only then did he realize that he was covered in cold sweat. but
His physical strength was not enough to support him in the middle of the night, so he took another bath, and he fell back into bed again, and the eunuch hurriedly covered him with a quilt.
At this time, Rong Ting opened his eyes again, looked at the eunuch fixedly, and asked, "Qin Guifei, are you asleep?"
The eunuch paused for a moment, then replied: "Perhaps he hasn't slept yet, but he wants to invite the imperial concubine to attend the bed? The servant will arrange it now." Said
It's serving the bed, but the emperor's body, how can he do such things, recruiting people here, at most, is to accompany An Xin, Qin Guifei used to be in charge of the backyard when she was in the prince's mansion, the prince at that time, the current emperor In front of you, it's very face-saving.
It's time to be ugly, Qin Zi must have fallen asleep, after Rong Ting asked this sentence, he already knew the answer, and he didn't want to go to war again in the middle of the night. Can
The scene in the dream just now made him hard to let go. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded. "
Invite the noble concubine Qin to serve her bed. "
The eunuch then went out to give orders.
On the other side, Qin Zi was awakened by the maid, and after a brief wash-up, he rushed to Shangqing Hall.
When Qin Zi arrived, Rong Ting had already fallen asleep again, the eunuch asked the imperial concubine to keep quiet, and opened the door for her. Qin
Zi walked into the inner hall, and heard the faint breathing sound on the dragon couch, she approached slowly.
When she walked to the bed, Rong Ting, who thought he had already slept soundly, opened his eyes again. Qin
Zi didn't say hello, she took off her robe, went to bed, and naturally slept next to Rong Ting, shoulder to shoulder with him.
Rong Ting was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at the woman beside him. Qin
Zi felt something and turned to look at him. The two looked at each other. Qin Zi stretched out his hand to hold Rong Ting's withered hand.
Her hand was warm, while Rong Ting's was cold, one cold and one hot, Rong Ting clenched her tightly instead, with a little force.
Qin Zi sighed: "Did you dream of him again?"
Ting closed his eyes fiercely, his whole face was gloomy: "He asked me, is this throne sitting comfortably?" Qin
Zi turned sideways, approached Rong Ting slowly, and finally hugged him, stroking his shoulder comfortingly: "Then tell him, it's uncomfortable and difficult to sit on." Rong Ting
Ting let out a laugh, but remained silent.
Qin Zi said again: "But what are the difficulties? The emperor is a man of great talent. If this country is in your hands, you will be able to overcome all difficulties, won't you?"
Rong Ting didn't answer, just looked at the curtain on the top of the bed, lost in thought. Qin
Zi hugged Rong Ting even tighter, and said, "Go to sleep."
Rong Ting slowly closed his eyes, breathing gradually calmed down. one
After a quarter of an hour, Qin Zi felt that Rong Ting had fallen asleep, she wanted to let go of him, but as soon as she moved, Rong Ting frowned, Qin Zi had no choice but to give up and continue to hug him.
The night passed like this, and in the early morning of the second day, the eunuchs woke up the new emperor, who was not sleeping soundly. Qin Zi got up first, prepared to wash for Rong Ting, and helped him change his clothes. After Rong Ting was fully dressed, he drank three more bowls of medicine , Qin Zicai personally sent him outside the gate of Shangqing Palace.
Seeing that Long Yu left with a large number of guards, Qin Zi entered the inner hall, cleaned up, and returned to his palace.
When she returned to her dormitory, what she ran into was Rong Jindong who had been waiting for her for a long time.
As the eldest prince, Rong Jindong also lives in the palace, and his bedroom is quite far away. Qin Zi looked at the time and guessed that Rong Jindong probably got up earlier than Rong Ting. "
Did he invite you to bed last night? "Rong Jindong asked straight to the point.
Qin Zi knew what he wanted to ask, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is normal."
Jindong breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little anxious: "Last night, I received a report from the Seventh Uncle that the Third Uncle and my master had already entered Beijing, but they didn't seem to want to join us..."
Qin Zi obviously hasn't received the news yet, she paused for a moment, then said, "They probably have other considerations."
Jindong was very worried: "Will it affect our plan?""
You are so restless. Qin Zi pointed out Rong Jindong's problem: "What are you worried about?" What are you afraid of? Jindong, if you continue to show joy like this, you will expose us. "
Rong Jindong quickly lowered his head, wiped his face, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, I just... think things are a little bit off course.""
You mean the queen mother? "Qin Zi also pondered for a while: "I don't know exactly what's going on with her, but judging from your father's appearance last night, he is still the same as before, I can be sure of that. ""
So what do you think, when will you be able to do it the soonest? "Rong Jindong asked again cautiously. Qin
Zi made some calculations and said, "Why, we have to wait for a month..."
Before she finished speaking, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall. Allow
Jindong subconsciously hid in a corner. Enter
It was a little maid who came, and the little maid was from the Palace of Shangqing, and she reported out of breath: "Mother, empress, the emperor is on the way to the early court, and he is ill... Now, the imperial physician is rushing to the Palace of Shangqing, but the emperor The situation this time seems to be more serious than before, empress..."
Qin Zi suddenly stood up from the chair, as if worried, she waved the little maid back and sat back on the chair. Allow
Jin Dong came out from the corner, looked at Qin Zi, Qin Zi met his eyes, and suddenly said: "Don't wait, today, you can start."
Rong Jindong cheered up, nodded heavily, and said, "I'll go get ready now!"
When Qin Zi arrived at the Hall of Shangqing, all the other concubines had arrived, and the person sitting at the top of the outer hall was the former crown prince and now the empress.
Qin Zi greeted the queen. Emperor
After looking at her faintly, he suddenly got up and walked down the steps slowly.
The surrounding concubines all looked at this scene with concern, Qin Zi still lowered his head, a little puzzled.
The queen walked in front of her, and suddenly raised her hand, "slap" was a slap!
The concubines were as quiet as a cicada, and the palace members of the Shangqing Palace took a deep breath, and the entire hall was suddenly silent.
Qin Zi looked up at the queen with an aggrieved expression.
The queen couldn't understand her appearance, and said viciously: "I heard that you were in bed last night? It's really shameless. The emperor's health is not good. In order to win the favor, you resorted to such low means! Depleted of energy , reduce your lifespan, if there is something wrong with the emperor, this palace can bestow death on you today!"
Qin Zi explained: "The emperor's nightmare, the courtiers and concubines are just serving side by side, not..."
"Snapped!"
Another slap! Qin
Purple face was slapped aside, and her cheeks were flushed with finger prints.
She closed her eyes and said nothing.
"Crack!" No.
Three slaps! "
Snapped! "
Fourth slap!
…
After ten slaps in a row, the queen rubbed her painful palm, looked at Qin Zi whose cheeks were swollen and bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and sneered, "This is the price of being a bitch, do you accept it?" Qin Zi
With a plop, Zi knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Submit."
The queen laughed loudly, turned to look at the surrounding concubines, and asked: "What did she say? I didn't hear clearly." The concubines
The concubines looked around, and after a while, someone responded in embarrassment: "Qin, Qin Guifei said, she obeys, empress empress..."
One person said it, and the others followed suit. The queen sat back on the high seat, and she looked domineering, as if the whole world was watching her.
