Let me eat a soft meal

Concubine Liang's pregnancy was extremely difficult, and there were always signs of miscarriage. Physician Jiang came to visit once every three days, but the plague broke out in Gyeongju, and the hospital was half empty. Physician Jiang volunteered to go , Jiang He couldn't stop him, so he followed.

The new imperial hospital sent a young imperial physician named Zheng to see Concubine Liang.

This Imperial Physician Zheng is not well-known, but according to Ye Xuan's observation and comparison, he also asked Tai'an, and found that this Imperial Physician Zheng's medical skills are considered to be at the upper-middle level in terms of the imperial hospital. Know it by heart.

For example, that day, Ye Xuan passed by the gate of Fengyi Palace, and happened to bump into the Sixth Princess Ye Ling who came out to breathe.

Since falling into the water, the arrogant and domineering sixth princess seemed to have disappeared without any sense of existence. It was only when the army went out that day that she appeared in front of people, and soon returned to Fengyi Palace and did not come out again.Anyway, his appearance hasn't changed much from before, he seems to have gained some weight, and he doesn't seem to be seriously ill at all.

Ye Xuan didn't expect to meet her, and raised his brows, but before he could speak, Ye Ling's pupils shrank, his face looked miserable and terrified, as if he had seen a ghost, and he grabbed the wrist of the maid who was supporting her, it hurt so much The maid couldn't hold back a short cry.

"Princess, princess..." The voice of the maid trembled a little.

Ye Xuan looked at the group of people on the opposite side in a leisurely manner, and said in his heart with some surprise: "It's narrow, I thought Ye Ling didn't have a brain."

But this is also good, if you learn from a pit, you will gain a little wisdom, and you will always be less troublesome.

So Ye Xuan adjusted his expression, and with Xie Yushu's usual gentleness, he bowed obediently and skillfully, "I've met Sixth Sister."

Ye Ling's first reaction when he saw Ye Xuan was to run. Regarding the person in the lake who grabbed her ankle, the emperor said it was a water plant, but Ye Ling and the queen thought it was a water ghost. Unable to break free, he dragged her to sink into such a deep lake, watching her gradually lose her strength viciously.

Although she saw Ye Xuan's face when passing by, she still firmly believed that it was the water ghost, not her weak and deceitful younger brother.

Ye Ling was in good health, and Li was the queen after all, and the emperor's only daughter-in-law fell into the water. Naturally, all kinds of good things were sent to Fengyi Palace for free, but she gained some weight during her illness.It's just that Ye Ling is a little afraid to go out. She has read many folk tales and knows about water ghosts. She is afraid that she will be haunted by ghosts. At a certain silent moment, she will suddenly appear and drown her.

So she didn't dare to sleep at night. When she heard the wind and grass, she would call someone to have a look. She felt unwell when the flowers were watered. The queen mother followed her and removed all the flowers in the yard, leaving only the pink and white phlox that she liked standing alone in the garden.

Ye Ling was satisfied. Although she was still unwilling to go outside, she started having fun again in Fengyi Palace.But the space in Fengyi Palace is limited, and she got a little bored after playing for a few months. When spring came and the winter snow melted, Ye Ling remembered that there was nothing wrong with going out to send you off to the expedition, so she plucked up her courage and brought people out. I plan to fly a kite at the Martial Arts Field.

As a result, as soon as she looked up from the palace gate, she saw Ye Xuan. The expression on the other party's face that seemed to be a smile was not a smile, and the appearance of the water ghost instantly appeared in her mind. Drown in water.

The suffocation of being squeezed by the water surged up wildly, Ye Ling's pupils constricted, his face was pale, his breathing was short of breath, and he felt a little out of breath.

She wanted to run, but her calf felt weak. If she hadn't been supported by the maid, she might have fallen to the ground.

Until the familiar smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face, it was slightly different, showing someone's shadow, but the heart that was about to jump out of her throat gradually calmed down.

"What are you doing here?"

"I……"

Just as Ye Xuan opened his mouth, Imperial Doctor Zheng, who had already returned to the imperial hospital, chased him out from around the corner, and saw surprise on his face, "Your Highness, I just forgot the medicine for Concubine Liang."

He handed a white porcelain bottle to Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan felt that the style of this porcelain bottle looked familiar, "You match it?"

Imperial Physician Zheng shook his head, "It was Imperial Physician Jiang who prepared the medicine left in the imperial hospital, and said that she would give it after the current medicine is used up."

Ye Xuan heard the words and turned to the bottom of the bottle to see, and sure enough there was a signature ginger character engraved on it.He said why it looked so familiar, it turned out to be the same as the bottle of magic medicine that Taian snatched from Huang Mang.

"It's really bad luck." Ye Ling suddenly covered his lips with a veil, and whispered with glaring malice in his eyes.

Ye Xuan paused for a moment, then glanced at her, and the corners of his lips pursed into a smile that was not a smile, this was his habitual action every time his killing intent surged.

Imperial Physician Zheng looked straight, and without thinking about it, he retorted, "Sickness is human nature, how can it be called bad luck? Besides, the good concubine is a dragon fetus, and this kind of blessing is not something ordinary people can enjoy."

Ye Ling is used to domineering and can't allow others to refute her. When she heard this, she became anxious, glared at Ye Xuan, and said viciously, "Whether it is a blessing or not, you will only know when you are born!"

These words reflect that Concubine Liang may not be able to give birth to a prince, but saying this in front of Fengyi Palace always makes people feel ironic.

After all, there are seven princes in the palace, one under each of the four concubines, and the concubine Yue Gui who entered the palace last also gave birth to nine princes. Only the queen of the middle palace has been in the palace for more than ten years, and there is only one princess.

From ancient times to the present, it has always been the case that the queen has no sons. It can be said that it is immoral. As a result, the faction of Gao Taiwei, who is actually a concubine of virtue, and the faction of Xu Guogong, who is a concubine Shu, stand against each other. I'm afraid there will be no such person.

But it's also quite strange, the Li family is far less close to Concubine Yue than the Empress, I don't know why.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows. If the gaze that looked at Ye Ling could speak, he would have to ask: Are you serious?

Imperial Physician Zheng also stared in disbelief, because she didn't reveal the identity of the other princess.

Ye Ling reacted as soon as she finished speaking, she was very annoyed, she knew she said something wrong, but she didn't want to admit it, so she snorted coldly and turned her head to walk into the palace.

Doctor Zheng saw the solitary oleander in the courtyard with sharp eyes, and immediately strode forward to persuade him, "Princess Six, although that oleander is beautiful, it cannot be raised. It has—"

The word "poison" was blocked by the door that was slammed shut.

Imperial Physician Zheng let out an "ah", and walked around anxiously at the gate of the palace, even wanting Ye Xuan to speak for him so that he could go in.

Ye Xuan expressed that there was nothing he could do, and he was too lazy to waste time with this nosy doctor Zheng, so he returned to Luohua Palace with the medicine bottle.

Concubine Liang was in a good mood after she became pregnant. I don't know if Doctor Jiang is too good at medicine. The frequency of Concubine Liang's illness is not as high as Ye Xuan imagined. When he went to deliver the medicine, Concubine Liang was lying on the couch embroidering things. Nanny Chen put all the embroidered pieces into a big box in the house.

Ye Xuan glanced over and found that there was already a lot in it.

"Xuan'er is here." Concubine Liang beckoned him over happily, and showed him the embroidery pattern in her hand. The half-finished golden dragon was lifelike. Even though there was only one dragon claw, people could see his majesty at a glance. solemn.

Ye Xuan looked back annoyed, and suddenly felt that it would be fine if the emperor didn't want her to give birth to this child.

He didn't follow this topic according to Concubine Liang's wishes, and after only staying for a while, he found an excuse to get up and leave.

After the heavy snow in Beijing completely melted away, there were two more heavy rains, and then the grass grew and warblers flew, and it suddenly came to the spring and March when the peach blossoms were in full bloom.

When Huang Mang said otherwise, he made peace with him. After Pei Chang agreed to go to the front line with him first, this reckless man became like a normal person again.Huang Mang is like an idiot when it comes to dealing with people, but he does have a way of marching and fighting.

He drew inferences from the army's routine. First, he surrounded Ancheng and cut off the food and grass supplies inside. On the surface, he stationed troops and did not attack. All of them were cut down, and the entrance of Xialing Pass was blocked by the heavy snow that didn't stop before. People outside couldn't get in, and people inside couldn't get out. The two sides were at a stalemate.

When Huang Mang arrived, the soldiers were planning to set fire to the Xialing Pass while the snow had melted. After the fire had been burning for a while, he rushed in with his men and horses, and finally brought back dozens of emaciated soldiers and several wrecked cars. broken body.

In those few months, the soldiers inside first killed horses and ate meat, and then survived by gnawing corpses and drinking snow water without horses. When the fire broke out, they were already prepared to die. Under Feng Luo's order, they started He made a desperate effort to climb the steep cliff, but judging from the situation at the scene where Huang Mang rushed in, there were countless dead bodies, and the dozens of people who were alive had given up climbing and planned to die.

Among them, Feng Luo and a few soldiers were not included.

The cliff was too high, and in the thick fog of Xialing Pass, Huang Mang couldn't see the top even when he raised his head. He waited there for several days, but no corpses fell down. There were bloodstains and corpses of soldiers, but General Feng Luo was not seen.

Although the person is missing, he should be alive.

So Huang Mang led the army back to the camp with peace of mind, and began to attack Ancheng.

Ancheng was taken back again, and the general of the Rong army probably sensed the arrival of reinforcements, and ordered the army to retreat within the boundaries.

The battle on the front line is going on steadily, Prime Minister Xie and the eldest prince in Gyeongju are also safe and sound, and the imperial physicians are working hard to deal with the plague.

It's all good news, and the emperor's face is like the earth stripped from the winter, finally glowing with new vitality.

Several major festivals in the palace this year are kept simple, which always makes people feel uncomfortable. The spring hunting will be more lively, and Haohao Tangtang and his group will go to Daping Mountain in the royal hunting ground.

In the harem, except for the noble concubine Yue who was in charge of the sixth palace and the sick concubine Xian, almost all the important and favored concubines came, even Li Mei, who had never been found before, also came, and the princes and princesses also came neatly.

Ye Xuan was not interested in Spring Hunting, but Luohua Palace was directly named to accompany the holy driver, so he had to come even if he didn't want to.

Because they were accompanied by relatives, the tents of Ye Xuan and Concubine Liang were on the left and right of the emperor, and on the other side of Ye Xuan was the tent of the Ninth Prince—he was young and his mother was away, so he was naturally closer to the emperor. The tent next to the Ninth Prince is the sixth princess, the legitimate daughter.

Tai'an couldn't help showing a sympathetic expression of "wow" after hearing this.

Ye Xuan: "..."

He turned and walked away, out of sight.

Although the previous emperors of Liang State were not in good health, they especially liked hunting activities. Originally, there were only autumn hunting and winter hunting in the previous dynasty, but spring hunting was added in Daliang. Renovate the farm.

Daping Mountain is the closest plain-style mountain forest to the imperial palace. The terrain is not high and the vegetation is flourishing. It can be said that it is a royal hunting ground for the queen. The environment is very good. After years of construction, it has become a garden with natural scenery. You can see many exquisite and beautiful pavilion.

There is also a very large artificially excavated lake in the central area, which attracts spring water from the mountain, and flows from the lake to the foot of the mountain, forming a piece of running water.

Ye Xuan just came to get some air, but when he looked up, he saw two neighbors arguing in the pavilion.

It was a dispute, but Ye Ling was the only one scolding. The Ninth Prince lowered his head and played with his Nine Links without even raising his head.

So Ye Ling became angry, and directly took the Nine Princes' Nine Chains.

With his hands empty, the Ninth Prince slowly raised his head, his eyes fixed on her face.

Ye Ling gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, "There are no rules at all. Are you dumb when Miss Huang talks to you?"

The Ninth Prince moved his lips and spit out three words, "Give it back to me."

"Okay, I'll give it back to you, I'll give it back to you!" Ye Ling sneered, and smashed it with his hands.

The nine chains made of jade hit the floor tiles with a crisp sound and broke into several pieces.

Ye Xuan watched the Ninth Prince staring down at the shattered object, as if in a daze, but his breath suddenly became cold.
