Deep ice

Seeing that Yuan Jing was silent for a while, Xi Lian asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, where shall we go first?"

Yuan Jing looked cold, "Go and see Concubine Ning first."

Then he said: "It shouldn't take much time."

Jingxuan Palace.

The women in the inner hall were crying and howling, and the wet nurse was carrying water to deliver the baby, making a mess.

Imperial Physician Xu also came over after receiving the imperial edict. Right now, he is writing the prescription from the outer hall, his forehead dripping with sweat.

Zi Zhu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, she brought out a basin of bloody water from the inner hall, handed it to the maid in the outer hall, thought about ordering the small kitchen to boil some white fungus and red dates for preparation, and then turned out of the hall.

As soon as I left the door, I saw the palace door was wide open, and a little eunuch came in but shouted, "The emperor is here——"

A group of palace people in Jingxuan Palace hurriedly put down their work and knelt on the ground in unison.

After half a cup of tea, Yuan Jing welcomed Xi Lian into the East Hall of the palace.

As soon as Yuan Jing entered the palace, several young eunuchs led Dr. Xu over.

As soon as the old doctor saw the bright yellow figure, he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Old minister... see the emperor."

Yuan Jing lightly raised his hand, "How is it?"

The little eunuch next to him cleverly went up to help, and the old doctor got up tremblingly from the ground, "Ms. Ning has always had a bad temper, which caused the reversal of Qi and blood and made labor difficult. The old minister has just prescribed a prescription for her. , ordered the palace servants to fry it and serve it to the empress, but whether this will work or not depends on the empress herself..."

Xi Lian glanced at Imperial Physician Xu, "Emperor Xu is the most expensive doctor in the imperial hospital, and there is nothing he can do?"

The old imperial doctor took a deep look at Xi Lian, and coughed: "Eunuch Xi doesn't know, even if Hua Tuo is alive, this woman's childbirth is not something I can help with the man..."

Yuan Jing said again: "Why is someone crying inside? Who is it?"

The old doctor's face froze, "Going back to the emperor, it's naturally Ning Concubine..."

-

It is said that after the court, Tian Chongguang had just arrived at the Ministry of War, and before he had time to change the court uniform, he received a word from the little eunuch, saying that the emperor ordered him to go there immediately.

Although he knew that scolding would be inevitable, Tian Chongguang had no choice but to bite the bullet and go there.

The rain stopped and the sky was not clear.

The imperial city is full of steam,

As soon as Tian Chongguang arrived at the imperial study, he saw a man standing outside from a distance, his back was straight, like a bamboo arrow.

When he was getting closer, there was a layer of fluffy water droplets on the shoulders of the man, obviously he had been waiting for some time.

Tian Chongguang's heart warmed up, he cupped his fists and stepped forward, "Lord Fei..."

He Yan slowly turned his head, "Why are you?"

Tian Chongguang hurried over, "The emperor ordered you to wait outside the royal study."

He Yan's heart sank, "The emperor asked you to come over, why is he not here?"

Tian Chongguang didn't care about these things, and his face was uneasy, "My lord, the order I gave you a few days ago was to go north to oversee the army. Why did you suddenly return to the capital? Is there the emperor's order?"

Without waiting for He Yan's answer, he hurriedly said, "If you go back to Beijing without purpose, that would be a serious crime..."

He Yan glanced at Tian Chongguang, "Desire? I think you have committed a crime?"

Only then did Tian Chongguang understand, and leaned slightly,

"...Well... I think the emperor won't mind too much..."

He Yan continued: "I happened to pass by the capital from southeast to north, and I thought I'd stop by to have a look and leave later."

Tian Chongguang nodded slightly, "It doesn't matter if you stay for a day."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head again, with a strange expression on his face.

He Yan only felt his waist sink, and lowered his head, he saw a pair of dirty little hands coming up from the back of his head, grabbing his waist, and then his back felt hot, as if someone had stuck it, the little eunuch's voice dragged his sobs , "Huaihuai, the crickets are all dead, you just came back... You came late..."

He Yan felt cold all over his body, grabbed the little eunuch's hand, and pulled him forward.

Two lines of blue and yellow snot came out, and Chun Bao cried profusely, and threw himself into He Yan's arms again, "Huaihuai...you can't play anymore..."

He Yan stepped aside, "You don't have to be too polite, thank that dead cricket for me."

Chunbao wasted no time and almost fell into the mud.

"Huaihuai, where have you been these days, I can never see you."

Seeing Tian Chongguang's terrified face, He Yan couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly pulled Chun Bao away, so as to save him from telling his own scandal in front of Tian Chongguang.

Lao Gao, who was lifted by Chunbao's skirt, was dragged a few feet away by He Yan, before stopping.

Chun Bao also didn't care about the deformed clothes, just tugged on He Yan's sleeve,

"Huaihuai, I can't see you, I feel uneasy in my heart."

He Yan said: "Seeing you makes me really uneasy."

Chun Bao said again: "You haven't said where you have been these months?"

He Yan said in a cold voice, "Outside to supervise the army."

Chun Bao sighed, with anger on his face, "Huaihuai, how could you not take me with you when you go to the battlefield..."

He Yan suppressed his anger, "Why do I have to take you with me? Besides, what does your regretful face mean?"

Chun Bao curled his lips and pulled He Yan's sleeve, "You come with me."

He Yan flicked his sleeves, "Where are you going?"

Chun Bao pulled back again, "You'll know when we get there."

He Yan saw that Tian Chongguang was looking at this side, thinking that the emperor didn't know where he was hiding and refused to see him, he was afraid that he would not be able to make it for a while, and besides, it was better to find a lonely place with the little eunuch than to drag him here shame.

Seeing that He Yan no longer struggled, Chun Bao joyfully dragged him all the way to Weiyang Palace.

When He Yanna left, the servants of Weiyang Palace sent him away and assigned him another place, but now it is already empty and silent.

Only the ancient trees are still there, from the frost and snow covered branches in winter to the dense green covering the sky today.

He Yan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a lot.

Chun Bao stood at the base of a wall, turned his head and smiled at He Yan,

"Huaihuai, come and have a look."

He Yan looked at the few cracks on the wall, "Look at this wall?"

Chun Bao said, "Don't you see that this wall is different from other places?"

He Yan leaned over and looked at it for a long while, "It's just that there are some gaps..."

Chun Bao was about to jump up, "I practice martial arts every day for this gap!"

He Yan straightened up, "You have been fighting for more than half a year, and the wall has not yet been laid, what are you proud of?"

After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Chun Bao hurried forward to pull someone back, "Huaihuai, I called this last night."

He Yan turned around, "What do you want to show me?"

Chun Bao sniffed, "I'm such a capable person, why don't you take me out to fight..."

He Yan was exhausted by his words, "You are so stupid, not to mention that you are an eunuch and cannot leave the palace privately, even if you can break the wall, what use is it if I want you?"

Chun Bao thought for a moment, "I can attack the city for you!"

He Yan waved his hand, "You think I'm stupid?"

Chun Bao lowered his head, "I just want to follow you. After you left, I have never found anyone who is so compatible with me."

He Yan turned around, "Goodbye."

-

In the east hall of Jingxuan Hall, there is purple mist and white smoke in the incense burner.

Thunder bursts outside, and the wind and rain are coming.

The maids outside the palace shuttled endlessly, silently.

The wet wind blew, and the sound of shouts in the main hall seemed like pieces of silk were torn apart, but it made the concubines in the other courtyard of the deep palace feel resentful.

Xi Lian Ting's heart palpitated, he turned to look at the emperor standing beside him.

Yuan Jing's face was as white as paper, his gaze was fixed on one spot, and he looked preoccupied.

Suddenly, the baby in the inner hall cried endlessly, with a faint sound of joy.

Xi Lian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and knelt on the ground, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

The blackness in Yuan Jing's eyes remained undiminished, and his mood was complicated, but he really couldn't be happy.

Not long after, Mrs. Wen also brought the child over, and blessed her body, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are a prince."

While speaking, he hugged the baby wrapped in snow-white brocade.

"This little prince has very good eyebrows and eyes, he is of royal blood..."

The fishy smell was faint, dotted with stars, the baby's small face was slightly blue, and the cry was soft.

Yuan Jing was stunned for a while, staring at the small ball, stretched out a finger, thinking about touching it.

Who would have thought that the baby would grab it and suck it in its mouth.

Yuan Jing blushed immediately, "This..."

Wen Po said respectfully: "...it doesn't matter, the emperor will just take it out..."

Xi Lian said with a smile: "The emperor is a father at the beginning, so he is naturally unfamiliar with it, and it will be better in the future..."

It took Yuan Jing a long while to regain his composure, and carefully removed his hand,

"Go and see Concubine Ning."

Xi Lian responded, and was about to go out of the palace with him, but saw Zi Zhu hurried up, knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably, "Your Majesty, it's not good, Your Majesty is very popular..."

Xi Lian was surprised, "Where's Dr. Xu?"

Zi Zhu cried: "The maidservant has already called Imperial Physician Xu for pulse, but Imperial Physician Xu only looked at it for a while, then turned to the outer hall and sighed, saying that he was calling the emperor to see him for the last time."

Xi Lian hesitated a little, "After this time passes, the inner hall must be full of filth, how can the emperor..."

Yuan Jing didn't want to listen to what he said, so he waved his hand lightly, "Go and see."

The winding path leads to seclusion, and the inner hall is already a red candle.

The person trapped in the heavy brocade quilt is haggard and pale, as if dehydrated, without the usual vitality.

Zi Zhu added several heavy brocade quilts on Concubine Ning's body to cover up the blood that was slowly gushing out from underneath, but it couldn't cover up the man's dying attitude and the bloody smell that filled the room.

Concubine Ning asked Zizhu to insert a pair of jade hairpins for herself, and combed her hair.

Hearing the sound of someone entering the room, he struggled to sit up, but still fell back.

Concubine Ning opened her eyes wide. After seeing the person in front of her clearly, she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't help it. Tears rolled out of her eyes.

"The emperor... is here..."

Yuan Jing sat on the edge of the bed, feeling strange, lowered his eyes to uncover the lake blue brocade quilt on top, but what his fingertips touched was the whole mattress soaked in blood.

It's still warm, but it won't be long before it gets cold.

Yuan Jing raised his eyes, "Don't cry."

When Concubine Ning heard the words, she didn't care about her manners, so she covered her face and wept bitterly.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, the concubine will never make the emperor angry again, I beg the emperor to spare the concubine..."

Yuan Jing's heart softened, and she shook her head, "I am sorry for you."

Then he said: "I am in Jin Dynasty and you are a concubine, so you have to take care of your health and recuperate."

Concubine Ning took her hand, her crystal clear eyes fixed on Yuan Jing,

"I don't want to be a concubine..."

Then he stretched out his hand again, "As long as the emperor often visits his concubines..."

Yuan Jing smiled, held her hand, and said in a low voice, "Okay."

The rain fell continuously outside the hall, shy and cold, and knocked off a cluster of petals in front of Jingxuan Hall, the crumbs were like powder, withering ahead of time.

At night, Concubine Ning and Empress Ning of Jingxuan Hall died.

After He Yan returned from Weiyang Palace, he also waited until nightfall.

Tian Chongguang was still alive, so he didn't dare to leave the palace without authorization, so he gritted his teeth and waited outside with an umbrella.

The dark night is gloomy and pattering, drenching the last bit of fiery heart.

He Yan sighed lightly, and turned to Tian Chongguang, "I won't wait any longer, I'm going north now."

Tian Chongguang looked exhausted, and cupped his hands, "My lord, take care, I'm sorry I can't send you far away."

He Yan turned around and waved his hands, "If I had known this, I should have left first to save you from being poured outside."

Tian Chongguang was taken aback for a moment, then speculated for a long while, then shook his head helplessly.

Not long after He Yan left, Tian Chongguang saw the royal driver coming from afar.

It really answered He Yan's words just now.

Yuan Jing got off the dragon chariot, his black hair was damp like ink, and when he raised his eyes to see Tian Chongguang, he was suffocated at first, "Where are the others?"

After Tian Chongguang bowed respectfully, he got up again, "Your Majesty, are you talking about Lord Fei?"

Yuan Jing didn't say a word, which was regarded as acquiescing.

Tian Chongguang said calmly, "Go back to the emperor, Mr. Fei just left."

Yuan Jing's face was cold and pale, he opened his mouth, hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Xi Lian said, "Your Majesty, do you want the servant to send someone to call him back?"

Yuan Jing's black eyes sparkled, "No need."
