In less than a stick of incense, the news that Ye Huaiyang was caused by the Empress Dowager's fetal qi spread throughout the palace and outside the palace. Similarly, the Empress Dowager was killed by Ci Yuan, the deputy commander of the banned army. There was a lot of discussion.
As the chief of the Taiji Hospital, Lu Heng rushed to the Taiji Hall at the first time. The fire inside the hall was full of fire and it was as warm as spring. Following his rapid pace, the endless crimson veils unfolded layer by layer on their own sides, and at the end lie down. With a hazy figure, he seemed to hear footsteps, and stretched out a jade hand diagonally.
"... madam?"
He hesitated a little, and was afraid that the treatment would be delayed, so he immediately let the crescent moon draw silk threads to check the pulse carefully, but he felt something was wrong as soon as he pressed his finger on it - where is this a sign of miscarriage? Apparently nothing happened!
Just when Lu Heng was surprised, the people inside made a lazy voice: "Tianyi Lu, have you seen Sister Yun recently?"
"… did not meet."
On the day when the city was broken, Xie Miao mobilized all the resources of the Xie family to help Chu Jinglan clean up the mess. Lu Heng met him and knew that Xie Yun was not dead. The endless gray void, no matter how he struggled, what greeted him was nothing but an empty loneliness.
Later, when Xie Miao was reorganizing the family business, he was sealed as the minister of the household. Although the Xie family was not as brilliant as before, it was still the backbone of the family, so there were not many invitations, but most of them were led by Xie Miao. The concubine and concubine attended, but Xie Yun was not seen.
There have been rumors outside that she was ruined by the fire, so she stayed at home. Lu Heng had asked Xie Miao about this, but he was blocked by him. Until now, I don't know what happened to Xie Yun. Seven ups and downs, she couldn't sleep every night, remembering how she looked when she was scalded before, her chest seemed to be tormented by fire again.
He couldn't give up, and couldn't completely abandon it, he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Ye Huaiyang's voice floated over again through the light curtain: "You know how she was disfigured."
Lu Heng was slightly shocked, and the hand holding the silk thread clenched involuntarily, and immediately asked, "Is this really the case? Is the situation serious? Is she still receiving treatment?"
"You're so nervous, why don't you ask her in person?"
The light sentence made Lu Heng choked enough, but he was just silent, as if the thorns all over his body had faded away with the revenge, and after a long time he said sadly: "I have come several times and she doesn't want to see her. I."
"If this palace is completely ruined and you don't want to see the person you love, Imperial Physician Lu won't even be able to see through his thoughts, right?" Ye Huaiyang's phoenix eyes overflowed with light, and shot straight at Lu Heng, who was hanging his head." However, Ben Gong has already sent someone to look at her. The injury is serious but it has been controlled. Even though her mood is still at a low ebb, she will not be able to recover for a while. Ben Gong has already made Xie Miao watch her closely, lest she do anything. Something stupid."
The last two words were like a heavy hammer hitting Lu Heng's heart, and the pain was unbearable.
"She...she does stupid things?"
Ye Huaiyang snorted and looked at him like an idiot, "The person who was thinking of her was reluctant to approach her, but now her face is burnt like that, what else can she expect? You can hang yourself with a ribbon."
Lu Heng's face turned pale in an instant.
"But don't worry, after this period of time, Ben Gong will choose a good marriage for her, and you don't have to think about the right family, but it's okay to find a small official from the court, as long as you can treat her wholeheartedly. , it’s okay to have a poor identity.”
Ye Huaiyang recounted his thoughts to himself, as if he didn't care about the feelings of the person outside, and he also forgot his original intention of coming here, standing there like a wooden man, his chest hurts so badly, right here At that time, a mysterious black figure hurriedly entered the hall, as if extremely anxious.
"Yang'er!"
"His Majesty?"
Ye Huaiyang didn't expect Chu Jinglan to come so quickly, just as he was about to open the tent and get out of bed to meet him, he was blown in front of his eyes like the wind, Junrong was slightly pale, and the long shadow of the palace lantern became more and more Stiff as iron, the little palace maid standing next to him had never seen him look like this, so she couldn't help holding her breath.
"Yang'er, how are you?"
Chu Jinglan hurriedly grabbed the delicate body on the bed, stroking every place with shaking hands, as if to check what was wrong, Ye Huaiyang grabbed his hand and placed it between her belly, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I fine."
"How could it be okay? There's so much blood—"
Halfway through his words, Ye Huaiyang gently pressed his lips, and there was a moment of silence in the air, and the crescent moon was very clever. Seeing this, he immediately stepped forward and said to Lu Heng: "Tianyi Lu, please go with the servant to open the door. Medicine."
Lu Heng, who had been in a trance for a long time, came back to his senses and hurriedly resigned.
Chu Jinglan didn't stop him, because he had calmed down when he saw that Lu Heng didn't have much reaction - if something happened to Ye Huaiyang, he would never just leave. When he was far away, he turned around to look at Ye Huaiyang, still with a gentle smile on his face, and he suddenly turned around.
I'm afraid the whole thing is a trap.
Thinking of this, Chu Jinglan's heart suddenly jumped out, and after a while of fear, he couldn't help but reprimanded with his face down: "You are too nonsense! Where is the Hanzhang Palace? You are still going there when you are pregnant. Jump! If something happens, I won't be able to catch you in time! You dare to use abortion as a guise to scare me to death and you will be happy!"
Ye Huaiyang snuggled into his arms softly and stretched her chest for him, "I'm not doing well, besides, I never do anything I'm not sure about, even if there are still remnants in the palace, Ci Yuan and my aunt They are so close, who can move me?"
"Why didn't you tell me first if you were sure?"
Ye Huaiyang replied softly, "I'm afraid you're worried, and I'm afraid you won't allow it."
"I'm not worried now?" Thunder's anger continued to spread in his ears. "What if she lives there all the time? Why do you have to work hard for her? Not to mention the pressure that doesn't belong to you!"
"It will hurt to be pierced in the heart." Ye Huaiyang murmured softly, like a spring of sweetness pouring into his heart, "I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."
Chu Jinglan's chest trembled lightly, and immediately folded his arms to hug her tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Those are not important, your safety is the most important thing."
Hearing this, Ye Huaiyang smiled sweetly as if drinking honey.
"Yes, the concubine knows, please rest assured, your majesty, the concubine will take good care of this little life, otherwise how can you grow old with your majesty?"
"It's good to know." Chu Jinglan lowered his head and covered her lips.
Huaiyang was also a little tired after so much tossing, so he lay on the couch and squatted for a while. Chu Jinglan remembered the scene described when the Imperial Guard came to report, but he still had lingering fears, so he asked Tang Qingfeng to move the memorial from the imperial study. , just sitting outside to give a reply, occasionally looking up at the sleeping figure inside, inexplicably calm.
The afternoon was fleeting.
When Ye Huaiyang woke up, it was just the sunset over the western mountains. A large splendid sunset glow hung on the window, slowly changing into various shapes, which taught people to feel joy at just a glance. She got out of the bed, her body was warm and her face was very rosy, like a ripe peach.
Where have everyone gone
She opened the purple silk tent and glanced outside. The golden nine-branch lotus lamp was casting a faint yellowish yellow. Chu Jinglan was still sitting at the desk under the lamp, reading a book, with a focused expression. style.
No matter how busy he was outside, Chu Jinglan never brought political affairs back to the Taiji Palace, so Ye Huaiyang rarely saw him like this.
She didn't want to disturb Chu Jinglan's review of the memorial, so she rubbed to the door and looked at him, so she was satisfied, but how could the sound of such heavy footsteps avoid Chu Jinglan's ears? She noticed it almost as soon as she approached him, looking at the source of the sound while quietly pressing a piece of rice paper to the bottom, then got up and came to meet her.
"Why don't you sleep more?"
"Sleep full." Ye Huaiyang curled the corners of his lips and let him sit beside the imperial case.
Chu Jinglan raised her hand and took the warm water from the crystal cup and handed it to her. After watching her sip it, she asked in a warm voice, "Are you hungry? I'll let them pass the meal."
"I'm not hungry yet." Ye Huaiyang glanced at the mountains of memorials on the table, and took the gold-washing ink ingot and smiled at him, "Your Majesty's government affairs are heavy, and the ministers and concubines can't help much, only brushing the ink. The craftsmanship is barely passable, so if Your Majesty doesn’t dislike it, let the concubines wait by the side.”
As soon as the words were finished, Chu Jinglan took the ink ingot from her hand and threw it to Zhuo Jin.
"This ink contains musk, so you'd better touch it less." Seeing her disgusted and aggrieved appearance, Chu Jinglan couldn't help laughing and crying, so she followed her and said, "If you really want to help, sit here for me. Put the stamp on it."
Zhuo Jin's jaw dropped when he heard this, and he almost stopped it.
These documents must be transcribed and finally returned to the cabinet. It is very important. Your Majesty has so casually handed it to the empress for stamping. What if you make a mistake!
He tried to speak: "Your Majesty, your majesty is heavy and should not be overworked, so it's better to be a servant?"
Before Chu Jinglan spoke, Ye Huaiyang glanced over lightly and said, "No need, you just step back."
Seeing that Chu Jinglan didn't lift his head, Zhuo Jin suddenly had an answer in his heart, so he retreated outside the hall in silence, the moment the door was closed, Chu Jinglan glanced at Ye Huaiyang with a smile, and said, "The posture is getting worse and worse. Enough."
Ye Huaiyang snorted softly while taking out the heavy jade seal from the box: "Of course, my husband is the emperor, how can I, the queen, not lose my share?"
"Okay, okay, then please ask the Queen to seal those memorials for me."
Chu Jinglan smiled and picked up the purple jade wolf pen, dipped it in some cinnabar, and lowered his head to continue his reply. Ye Huaiyang turned over one book after another next to him, looking very serious, and soon his eyes suddenly became stagnant.
"The vassal states of the Western Regions are coming to see you?"
Chu Jinglan didn't even raise his eyes, he murmured lightly, and couldn't hear his anger and anger: "The new emperor ascends the throne, and the vassals of the small kingdoms are required to come to congratulate him, and the purpose is difficult to describe."
In recent years, Chu Sanghuai has dominated the government, causing a smoky atmosphere everywhere, and the relationship between Chu State and the countries in the Western Regions is on the verge of breaking down. These envoys said that they came to congratulate him, and most of them wanted to try the depth of the new emperor. Taking advantage of the fact that the country of Chu had just been devastated by civil strife, he stabbed a knife in order to get rid of his status as a vassal for many years.
Ye Huaiyang knew that he couldn't reveal the details in front of those envoys at this time, so he had to consider all aspects carefully, especially the tribute ceremony and Kaiyuan banquet as the facade, which had to be grand, which would cost a lot of money. Thinking of this, she squinted her phoenix eyes slightly and said, "The plum blossoms in the imperial garden are in full bloom, which is just the time to invite some noble ladies to come and enjoy the flowers."
After Chu Jinglan heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.
She is going to swindle the money of those big and small families again.
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Huaiyang saw the sneer in his eyes and couldn't help but slapped him lightly, "I am the only one in the harem, and I can't save any tricks if I don't get rich. Where do you start with the aristocratic family?"
"I'm afraid these people will go crazy after two more times. I wonder why a queen from an aristocratic family doesn't go to toss with the poor family, but instead pits them all day long?"
Ye Huaiyang laughed angrily: "That's because they don't understand. The daughter who gets married is the water that was poured out.
Chu Jinglan couldn't help laughing, but said: "No need, it's so cold in that garden, and I have to fight with them. Do you want me or not? It’s all been copied, and a lot of money has been plundered from those corrupt officials in the Sixth Department, so I’ll just make do with it.”
"Okay then." Ye Huaiyang leaned angrily against his shoulder, thinking that the beads of the abacus were beating, and after a while, he said, "I'll invite you again when the weather warms up."
Still didn't give up.
This time, Chu Jinglansheng couldn't hold back, and burst into laughter, seemingly quite happy.
"How did I marry a ghost like you?"
Ye Huaiyang also smiled, with a sly look on his face, "What is this? I have other tricks, I really can't sell Zhenghe, there should be a lot of noble ladies in Wangdu rushing to buy it. ?"
"You want him to get married, it's probably harder than going to the sky."
Ye Huaiyang leaned on the table with her chin on her back and didn't speak for a long time, as if she was brewing a ghost idea. Chu Jinglan thought it was funny and ignored her. Seeing that it was already dark, she raised her voice and ordered Zhuo Jin to pass the meal, and then went to the side. After cleaning the ink stains on his hands, Ye Huaiyang quickly glanced at the rice paper he had put away just now while he was leaving. There were only a few lines, but it was actually a drafted will.
Meng Qi was appointed Minister of War.
Meng Qi was originally one of the best generals in the late emperor's reign, with outstanding achievements in defending the frontier and defending the frontier. In addition, there are not many people who are credible and available now. It is reasonable for Chu Jinglan to promote him, but why should he hide it? Is it because she is afraid that she will feel awkward when she sees it
Ye Huaiyang thought to herself, Chu Jinglan was already calling her over there.
"Yang'er, come and wash your hands."
She quickly put the rice paper back to its original place, raised the volume and replied, "Come on."
