Heaven and earth return to one

After half an hour, the guard came out, followed by a little eunuch.The guard pointed to the eunuch in the direction of Nan Gongxuan, and the little eunuch stepped forward and said politely: "My lord, please come with the servant."

Nangongxuan looked at Kong Ying, saw Kong Ying nodding, then walked into the palace gate, and at the same time turned around and gave Xu Mingxi a reassuring look.

Seeing that someone was let in, the people waiting outside the door suddenly became confused and wanted to squeeze in, but were stopped by the guards.

When the palace gates were closed again, these people gradually regained their composure, and began to guess that Prince Xu Shiduan was seriously injured, so they would allow people from the palace to visit.

Nangongxuan didn't expect that he would have a day to enter the palace, but the palace tonight is destined not to be as solemn and solemn as he thought, but chaotic like a street market, but everyone is in a hurry and has no time to pay attention to others.

But he didn't care about these at all, as long as he could see Li Yunke soon, nothing else mattered.

Yihua Palace is a rare and quiet place in the entire palace, with two teams of guards outside the gate, and a few eunuchs and maids standing sparsely in the courtyard, all of them looking weak.

The eunuch who led the way led them to a bedroom in the East Wing, and said to the maid at the door: "Go and report to the Queen Mother, saying that they have arrived."

The maid went in, came out after a while, bowed to Nangong Xuanfu, and said, "My lord, please come in."

Nangongxuan walked in with the little palace maid, thinking that she had to meet Li Yunke's mother before meeting Li Yunke, and suddenly felt nervous.

"Slave pays respects to the queen mother." Inside, Kong Ying knelt down and tugged at Nangongxuan's sleeve.

Nangongxuan came back to his senses, only then did he realize that he had come in front of the queen mother, before he could see what the old lady looked like, he also knelt down.It's not convenient for him, kneeling already made his movements a little clumsy, but he couldn't do it like Kong Ying knocked his head to the bottom.

The Empress Dowager leaned back in the spacious soft chair, stared at Nangongxuan for a moment, and said: "Raise your head and let Aijia have a look."

Nangongxuan's Adam's apple rolled uncomfortably, and he slowly raised his head.

"You said you were Princess Duan?" The queen mother looked him up and down several times, and said, "You are indeed exceptionally handsome, but if Ai's family is right, you are a man, right?"

Nangong Xuan didn't know how to answer this sentence.

Kong Ying hurriedly took over the words and said: "Queen Dowager, Nangong... Although the young master has no status with the prince, but he and the prince are sincerely in love with each other. Everyone in the palace regards him as the princess, which is also what the prince means."

It was against the rules for a servant to answer on behalf of the master, but today the queen mother is really tired, and she is no longer in the mood to argue with them about these trivial matters.The old lady sat upright and said, "My surname is Nangong? What's your name? Where do you live? What do you do at home?"

Kong Ying sweated a little, and felt a little nervous, desperately thinking about how to answer.

Nangongxuan over there has already opened his mouth and said: "Caomin Nangongxuan, his family used to live on the Xiuluo Mountain outside Luohuai City. Now the family property has been destroyed, only the Caomin and his younger brother are left to survive and are rescued by the prince. Temporarily living in the palace."

Although the Empress Dowager lived in the harem, she knew a thing or two about the Qiujue soldiers making trouble on Mount Shura, so she was fooled by Nangongxuan's vague words, and without asking carefully, she first made up a set of stories about good people being killed by enemy soldiers. story to come.Although she was dissatisfied that her son had found a man, but when she thought of the miserable life experience of this beautiful man, the Queen Mother's heart became a little soft again, and she couldn't say harsh words.

But there are some things that he has to understand.

"Ke'er is a prince. Neither the Ai family nor the emperor will let him marry a male princess. Presumably Ke'er understands that, so you said you live in the palace, but he has never acknowledged your identity to outsiders." He made a move and was supported by the maid to stand up, "But it's true that he likes you, and Aijia doesn't mean to break up you, but in the future he has a princess, you are not allowed to mess around, you know? There is also the name of the princess. , don’t talk about it casually anymore.”

Nangongxuan's lips moved, he lowered his head and said, "Cao Min understands."

The queen mother walked by him and said: "I came to the palace to take care of him. If you are interested, he is inside. Go and have a look. Aijia is tired, so go to bed first. If you need anything, just tell the servants Just do it."

Nangong Xuan said: "Thank you Queen Mother."

"Farewell to the Empress Dowager." Kong Ying maintained his kneeling position, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he stood up and helped Nangongxuan.

Nangongxuan used his strength to get up, but the bottom of his abdomen felt tight, causing him to stagger and fail to stand still.

"My lord, what's the matter?" There were so many eyes and ears in the palace, so Kong Ying changed his address.

Nangong Xuan breathed out slowly, "It's okay, let's go and see him first."

After entering the inner room, Kong Ying first sent out the maids and eunuchs guarding the room, and then helped Nangongxuan walk to Li Yunke's bed.

Li Yunke had an injury on his back, so he could only lie on his stomach with his face facing out of the bed, his brows were slightly frowned, and he didn't even notice that someone was coming.

Nangong Xuan sat down beside the bed and saw that his head was tied with a thick layer of muslin, and a little blood could be seen on the left forehead; the left shoulder exposed outside the quilt was also wrapped with muslin. Nangong Xuan pulled up the quilt to have a look , Seeing that his left shoulder and half of his back were wrapped up, he didn't know what kind of injury it was.

His eyes were a little dry, Nangong Xuan blinked vigorously, and took Li Yunke's hand hanging by the bed.

"My lord is asleep, right?" Kong Ying asked in a low voice.

Nangongxuan felt the temperature of Li Yunke's palm, and put his arm around his wrist again. After a while, he said, "I don't know medical skills, but just judging from the pulse, his pulse is not very strong. He slept soundly again. So heavy, I guess he probably suffered some internal injuries."

Kong Ying didn't understand what an internal injury was, so he asked worriedly, "Is it important?"

The expression on Nangong Xuan's face became a little more relaxed, "There should be nothing serious, when he can wake up, after returning to the palace, ask Xiaoxi to cook two medicines for him, and he will be fine."

"That's good, that's good." Kong Ying stroked his chest and finally felt relieved.But he still had another thing in mind, looked left and right, turned his eyes around Nangongxuan's abdomen, and said in a low voice, "Since the prince is fine, let's go back first?"

However, Nangongxuan was not willing to let go of Li Yunke's hand, and said: "It's okay, I think it's okay, I can accompany him again. If you are tired, find a place to rest for a while, and when I want to go back, I will call you .”

Seeing that he really cared about Li Yunke, Kong Ying was also happy for his prince, but if there were any mistakes, how could he afford the consequences?

Seeing his hesitation, Nangong Xuan said again: "I know my own situation, don't worry."

"Then... that's fine." Kong Ying replied hesitantly, "I'm just outside, if you call me for something, I'll come in."

Nangongxuan's gaze stayed on Li Yunke's face all the time, and he gently agreed, "Okay."

With Li Yunke's skill, this degree of injury would not allow him to wake up when he heard someone talking beside him. In fact, he was awake for a while when the imperial physicians treated his wound, and later took the medicine given by the imperial physician , There is something calming in the medicine, which made him sleep a bit more deeply.

This time, he slept until dawn.

Before the eyes were opened, the consciousness of the body came back first.After sleeping in this position for half the night, the first thing Li Yunke felt was that his neck was so stiff that he couldn't seem to move when he wanted to.

Then, he realized that his hand was being held by someone, and the thumb of the person who was holding his hand rubbed the back of his hand twice, somehow giving him a taste of pampering.

Li Yunke bent his fingers, held the opponent's hand instead, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Nangong Xuan leaned over slightly, frowned uncomfortably and straightened his body, "You're awake."

Li Yunke thought he was in the palace, smiled at him, and said in a hoarse voice: "What time is it? Why are you up so early?"

Nangong Xuan let go of his hand, poured him a glass of water, knelt down and handed the water to his lips with some difficulty, "Tianliang, if you are tired, you can sleep for a while."

Li Yunke took two sips of water from his hands, and his eyes fell on his lower abdomen, seeing that he was wearing the clothes he brought from Zimingjiao, even the belt was tightly tied, and his abdomen was flat.

This shock was no small matter, Li Yunke's hairs stood on end, he jumped off the bed, pulled Nangong Xuan up, pointed to his belly and said incoherently: "You... what's wrong with you? Am I here? Dreaming? Ah Xuan, you...are you injured?"

Nangongxuan was caught off guard and failed to hold the water glass in his hand. Being pulled by Li Yunke like this, he felt a dull pain in his waist and abdomen, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Kong Ying heard the movement and ran in from the outside. Seeing Li Yunke's lively appearance, he said happily, "My lord, are you alright?"

Li Yunke couldn't care less about his own affairs, and looked at Nangongxuan with a frown, sweating from the tip of his nose.

Nangong Xuan thought, he really cared about this child.

Kong Ying quickly understood, pushed Li Yunke to sit by the bed, and said, "My lord, take a look at this place first."

"Where is it?" Li Yunke was still holding onto Nangongxuan with one hand, and glanced around indiscriminately before realizing something was wrong, "This is... I'm still in the palace?"

Kong Ying nodded, "The news of your injury spread all over the city. We thought you were seriously injured. The young master was very worried. He said that he would go to the palace to see you before he was relieved. It was originally agreed to take a look to confirm that you are okay. I went back, but who knows that I have been seeing him until now, and I persuaded him several times, but he refused to leave. Lord, you know the young master's body, it will not work if you continue like this. "

Li Yunke understood his hint, and probably guessed what happened to Nangongxuan's lower abdomen.He was both moved and distressed, got up and embraced Nangong Xuan and kissed him, saying: "Let's go, let's go home."
