It had been two days and two nights since Yun Fenghuang woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw an unfamiliar tent roof. Her consciousness was still unclear. Nian Xuan's surprised voice beside her brought her back to reality: "My dear, you are finally awake!" "
She asked to go out and call someone, but Yun Fenghuang stopped her and asked about the past two months.
"After the empress left in the woods that day, the servant and sister Xile helped the sister who pretended to be the empress back to Chunban Villa..." Nianxuan initially refused, saying that the imperial doctor had told Yun Fenghuang to inform him when he woke up. Will come over for diagnosis to ensure safety.
I plan to wait until the imperial doctor gives Yun Fenghuang a look before giving a detailed report to the master.
But after being looked at sternly by Yun Fenghuang, she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to tell her everything with a sad face: She was fooled by Xile, and after she accompanied the substitute back to Qingbi Tower, she used the excuse that the substitute had fallen. I need to rest and stay in the house without going out.
During that period, Xile was worried that being so quiet would arouse suspicion, so under the guise of Yun Fenghuang, he went to provoke Mrs. Yaoning twice.
Of course, the real Yun Fenghuang was not there after all, so she acted very cautiously and restrained to prevent Gu Zhen from knocking on the door in anger and discovering clues.
It was a turning point when we came to the east - two mornings ago, a fire suddenly broke out in the windy mountain forest in the valley. The fire took advantage of the wind and spread in a mighty way. Even if there was a vast swamp next to Chunban Villa, it was impossible to save it. Watching helplessly as the sea of fire engulfed the huge villa!
"When the fire broke out, the guards discovered it and came to the villa to inform everyone to protect you and Mrs. Yaoning's transfer. Otherwise, it would be dark in the morning. Many of our people have escaped, including Sister Xile." Nianxuan said. It was a bit sad to reach this point, "No one was seen until then. The guard came over just now and said that Sister Xile's shoes were found near a pit in Shuizhe. He doubted whether she was..."
Yun Fenghuang sighed and said, "If it doesn't matter, something might have happened to the shoes. I'll have someone look for them later."
She estimated that Xile Qiumo had arranged for Baoyuan Xiangxiao to fake his death and leave, so Qiumo was silenced - probably the latter. After all, did Xile know about the private meeting between Yun Fenghuang and Qi Jiulu, and was it public knowledge? Xiangxiao pulls strings, knowing that a person who is so eager for things will have no way to survive once he is of no use
But looking at Nian Xuan's appearance, she felt pity for her sister Xile. Yun Fenghuang Ruming didn't have anyone who could do anything for her, so the dowry couldn't be more stupid. At least Zhi Ming didn't betray her, so she didn't care how much she said. Xu Qi's pleasant words of "not asking for money" are comforting.
"That's wrong, how is Mrs. Yaoning's side?" Ever since he forced Qi Jiulu to send him back, Yun Fenghuang looked at Xile as if he was a dead person. At this moment, he talked about it in a few words and asked what he was concerned about, "Bi Dong Did you know over there? Are you back?"
Nian Xuan said: "There are also people injured on Mrs. Yaoning's side. I heard that the imperial doctor was also waiting for her. But the details are not clear... Bidong said that he had received the news and was rushing back. No. , the Queen Mother arrived yesterday, but the Queen Mother has been directing firefighting for the past two months."
Yun Fenghuang's eyes darkened, then returned to normal and said: "Command to put out the fire? Why did the fire burn for so long?"
"There are quite a few fires that have not been extinguished until now." Nianxuan sighed, "I don't know if the empress was asleep in those two months. Most of the valley was gone in those two months, not even some of the Tingzhou near the shore in the swamp. Fortunately, the sparks blown by the wind ignited... The birds and animals hiding in the forest suffered heavy casualties... The servant heard from the Didong people that some female animals could have run away, but were burned alive in order to protect their cubs. When he died, he used his body to protect the cubs in the nest, but the cubs were gone... Oh, my servant, do you really feel sad just thinking about it, and don't know why something like that happened?"
Yun Fenghuang asked: "How come the cause of the fire was not found?"
"My maid has not heard of it." Nian Xuan shook her head, "The Queen is very much investigating."
Just as he was talking, there was a noise outside, and soon someone opened the curtain and walked in.
The master and servant turned around to look, and Nian Xuan hurriedly saluted and greeted the queen. The queen waved her legs nonchalantly and said, "I heard from the imperial doctor that Mao Jieyu should have woken up at that time, but she didn't report it." , I was worried, so I just came in and took a look."
"I've caused trouble for you." Yun Fenghuang was a little limp at that time and couldn't exert any energy. Due to the remaining effects of the drug, she was too lazy to get up, so she pretended to be very weak. , said weakly, "Mother Lao is thinking about me."
The queen said: "It's not my fault for natural disasters and man-made disasters. How can I say it's troublesome or not?"
Just ask her how she is doing now
"His mother-in-law just woke up, and she didn't have time to ask the imperial doctor to see her." Nianxuan heard the words and said immediately. When she said that, she glanced at Dongyun Fenghuang, worried that she would continue to prevent the imperial doctor from coming.
Just because Yun Fenghuang didn't let the imperial doctor come just now, he wanted to know the situation immediately. The queen was already there at that time, so it was inconvenient to shut up, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.
It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to come over. After a lot of questioning, he came to the conclusion that it was nothing serious. He just needed to drink more water and rest more.
Seeing this, Nian Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and went to pour a cup of warm water for Yun Fenghuang.
Yun Fenghuang held the water glass in his lap and took a sip. Seeing that the queen had no intention of leaving, he raised his eyebrows slightly and told Nianxuan: "I'll go out to the east first."
Nian Xuan was sent east, and sure enough the queen also asked her entourage to retreat outside the tent.
"The fire was very strong two months ago, but it was not morning." The two concubines were the only ones left in the tent. The queen spoke slowly, but did not tell Yun Fenghuang in detail, "Yao Ning and I evacuated from the Chunban Mountain Villa in Botun Dogjian. , many people are not dressed properly... In a hurry, we can get a few tents from the military camp to temporarily set up. I should have retreated to the palace after dawn, but I was unconscious, and Yaoning was also in a state of distress, so I Let us make arrangements there first, lest the road becomes bumpy and the snow adds to the frost.”
As I said before, Chunban Villa is not very spacious, at least it is much smaller than a serious palace, even if it is not a palace.
And if the emperor's guards, both covert and covert, can only have a few legs, it is impossible to ask them all to live in the villa.
In fact, in the entire Chunban Villa, except for the emperor's concubines, there were no attendants.
Even Gong Xiangxiao and others can live with the imperial army in the camp outside the villa.
Therefore, when the fire broke out, the military camp was moved quickly. Although it was impossible to save the people and things in the villa, and the baggage losses were heavy, at least many tents and the like were saved, so that the imperial concubine who had just escaped the fire would not sleep in the wilderness.
Yun Fenghuang said: "I really didn't expect something like that to happen... but I don't know how the fire started? And what happened to me? I can't even remember what happened."
The queen smiled calmly and said: "The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Although it is a time when the sun is shining like fire, there is abundant water vapor in the mountains and forests, and it is not a time when the vegetation is dry in autumn and winter. I feel that the fire started very strangely, and it must be There was an affair... As for the fact that I can't remember what happened, isn't it strange, but that slave slave is too useless! There was just a fire, and nothing happened to him, so he was so scared that his legs were shaking, and he took the wrong medicine for the calming soup, then I was so tired that I fell into a coma for two months. Fortunately, I was safe, otherwise, I would have had to skin them!"
So the fact that you and your substitute were exchanged is very empress-like
Will Qi Jiulu agree to the queen's request again
Yun Fenghuang thought about it and said, "No? No wonder I feel that my mind is dizzy, as if I have forgotten something important, but I can't remember it."
"I just woke up then. After a good rest, I naturally remembered what I should have remembered." Empress Ji squinted her eyes, "As for some things that I can't remember, that's okay. What really matters to me is definitely not It's unforgettable, and you can't forget it even if you want to. If you can forget it, then you must not be so demanding, right?"
Those words were quite insinuation. Yun Fenghuang frowned and was begging to shut up, but the queen immediately continued, "I just received news that Bidong is already on his way back. He will be there around noon tomorrow." , Mao Jieyu, do you want to go back to the palace to wait for your Majesty, or do you want to continue waiting there?"
