Rebirth of the Second Young Master of the Ren Family

When Pingting opened her eyes, what caught her somewhat hazy sight was the exquisitely carved flowers on the headboard of the bed.It is said that this bed is made of high-quality pear wood, which is worth every inch of wood even in the rich Huaguo.Although the headboard of the bed is not inlaid with jewels and emeralds, the exquisite and delicate patterns and smooth and gorgeous design are definitely from the hands of famous masters.

I still remember that when His Majesty rewarded himself with this bed, all the servants in the palace had joyful expressions, which represented that their master was favored, and even Xing Hong had a look of pride.

But now?

Withdrawing his gaze, he looked out through the translucent bed curtain. On the tea table in the middle of the room, a rich and noble candle was quietly burning.The melted wax remained along the red wax body, and solidified into a ball on the peony-shaped tray, like blood tears gushing from the flower center.

He opened his mouth, his voice was still hoarse, but his throat didn't feel uncomfortable: "Xinghong."

What responded to her was an exclamation from one side of the soft couch: "Your Majesty, you are awake!" The next moment, the bed curtain in front of her was raised, and the candle was moved a little, avoiding her direct gaze. line of sight to prevent irritating her eyes.Xinghong lifted her up a little bit carefully, leaned against the piled cushions, and fed her with warm water.

Pingting raised her hand and took the water glass by herself, then raised her eyebrows in surprise, she was a little surprised that her body didn't feel weak, but instead felt a sense of fullness after a sound sleep.

"Your Majesty, you woke up less than an hour after His Majesty left." Xinghong observed her expression carefully, and said softly.

Raising her eyes and glancing at the maid, Pingting drank all the water in the glass without paying attention, then handed the glass back, and said, "How long have I been asleep?"

Xinghong hurriedly took the water glass and put it back on the table, then went to the clean silk handkerchief to wipe off the water stains on her lips gently, and then replied: "It's almost four days. I'm going to get you some porridge, please. It has been simmering in the small kitchen." "No hurry." Pingting leaned on the cushion, stopping the maid from leaving.Raising her right hand, her arm stretched across her face, and the other hand raised the cuff, and she could clearly see that her white, tender and smooth skin was the same as before. The rash that had tormented her back then had completely disappeared. , Those tortures and pains seemed to be just a nightmare.

But there is nothing to prove that it is not a dream.

Frowning imperceptibly, he had already noticed the discomfort on his face when he just drank water.A little trembling, fingers touched the cheeks, moved up a little bit, and tapped lightly without missing a single inch.Sure enough, the whole face was covered by the ointment, except for the facial features, there was probably not a single bit of skin exposed.

"Niang Niang..." Xing Hong looked at her worriedly, and quickly spoke to comfort her: "Don't worry, this is a prescription left by the sage of medicine. The imperial physicians all said that this ointment has a miraculous effect of removing putrefaction and regenerating muscle. , your skin can return to its original appearance, even better than before."

Looking up, Pingting's eyes were so dark that she couldn't see any emotion.With such a calm and almost strange gaze, Xinghong felt a chill run up her spine, no matter how many words were blocked in her throat, she couldn't say a word.

"You said, the Medical Sage is here?" Pingting finally asked after stretching out her hand to straighten the quilt covering her body.

She was taken aback by her sudden change of subject, but Xinghong responded quickly: "Yes, the Doctor of Medicine was invited by His Majesty, and after he treated you, he took Second Young Master Ren away. "

"Take it away?" Her brows were frowned, and then quickly opened. The ointment on her face made it difficult for her to make any facial movements, so she had to freeze her expression, with doubts in her tone: "What does the medical sage look like?" ? Also, when did Second Young Master Ren leave, is there anything unusual about His Majesty?"

Xinghong didn't understand what these questions were related to, but she still answered immediately: "This servant did not get to see the Medical Sage in person, but I heard that he is just a young man. He doesn't look good, but he has a very gentle temperament. The second young master left yesterday, and he left When I was in a coma, I heard that the poison was too strong, and I had to take it back to the Sacred Valley of Medicine to be cured. Your Majesty... Your Majesty went to court today, and sat here until dark, and even had lunch outside. Eat, and specifically told the imperial physician to cure you. Empress, Your Majesty treats you really..."

After waving her hand, Pingting interrupted her compliment, impatient to listen.

She naturally believed in the medical skills of the Sacred Valley of Medicine.Therefore, she was not too worried about this appearance, and now she was concerned about the sudden change of things.From what she saw of His Majesty's attachment to Ren Ren, it doesn't look like he let go so easily.

Is the poison really so serious that it can only be cured by returning to the Sacred Valley of Medicine?According to Xing Hong's description, that medical sage is too much like Lin Zesheng, so, could this be Ren Ren's escape plan?

Of course, she had no evidence to prove any of this.It's just that she knows Ren Ren's mind, and knows how unwilling he is to be trapped here.With Ren Ren's character, if he wants to leave, he will do everything possible, and no one can stop him.With the medical skills of a medical sage, is it really necessary to take people away when there are enough medicinal materials in Benkyo Palace?Pingting couldn't help but think, what she suspected, His Majesty must have thought of it too.So, why did His Majesty let him go?

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician ordered you to drink this bowl of medicine fifteen minutes after you wake up." Xinghong took a bowl of warm soup medicine from the outside room at some point and handed it to her.

Looking at the black concoction with some disgust, Pingting took it and drank it down.The moment he put down the empty bowl, he smacked his mouth in surprise, and it wasn't bitter, but had a hint of cool sweetness.

Xinghong looked at her master's astonished look with a smile, and explained: "The imperial doctor said that this medicine is made from a rare and rare medicine in the world. Even the royal family doesn't have it. Only people from the Sacred Valley of Medicine have it. What, what is called birth..."

"Shengxiang Yulu." Pingting took the words, her heart was shocked.

She used to practice medicine with Ren Ren when she was in Zezhou, so she had heard of Shengxiang Yulu, but she also knew that this legendary elixir was never seen.Unexpectedly, she could see and even take this medicine today.Thinking of this, she became more and more sure that it was Lin Zesheng who came.

According to Xinghong, Ren Ren was already in a coma at that time, so the one who is willing to use such a rare elixir to save herself, probably won't be a stranger, right?

"Xinghong, bring the mirror." Pingting's eyes were calm as she stroked the thick ointment covering her face.This time, she survived, precisely because the Sacred Valley of Medicine came in time, she survived.Then, she had to plan for the next step.

After this incident, the grace is even more prosperous.

In the harem, is it good or bad?

The smell of dragon sandalwood is entangled with the night wind that penetrates from the window crack, with a kind of clear smell, which penetrates into people's nostrils, somehow evoking the loneliness in my heart.

The hand that was reviewing the memorial paused, a drop of ink almost ruined the paper.Shunfu, who was waiting on the side, staggered the memorial with quick eyes and hands, dripping ink on the table, and jumped up again, tiny, almost imperceptible ink splashed all around.

"I'm not used to it..." Putting the brush on the inkstone on one side, Xiao Tianhong sighed softly and turned his head, looking at the low table on the other side that hadn't been removed yet.It's been more than a month, and he's used to having someone sitting there quietly. Whether it's reviewing memorials or flipping through classics, there's always a figure standing there silently, even if he doesn't say a word, he can still let him sit there. The moment I looked up and saw it, I was inexplicably at ease.

Turning his gaze to the pitch-black night, Xiao Tianhong suddenly felt that something in his heart was clamoring to tear his heart apart, cut off the flesh, tore apart the bones, drilled out from the skin, and then melted into the air and disappeared.It is obviously gone, but it seems to be wandering around, and it is everywhere with the air.

Perhaps, that thing is missing.

Crossing his hands on the imperial case, Xiao Tianhong smiled wryly, and said to himself: "I just want to indulge once, but I can't take it back after the indulgence?" The voice was full of bitterness, so heavy that it was almost overwhelming. Shun Fu, who was standing still, burst into tears.

He is His Majesty's personal eunuch, so naturally he is the most trusted, so His Majesty never avoided him, so he understood everything.

When he was in Zezhou, after Ren Ren was suddenly taken away, he witnessed His Majesty's loss of control for the first time.After driving everyone out, His Majesty muttered to himself with reddened eyes.He obviously said some irrelevant words like "he will be fine", but the panic in his tone made him wonder if this person is the emperor who is high above him.

At that time, he understood that Ren Ren was special to this young emperor.

Soon, the guards sent out found out where Ren Ren was.

That day, he stood beside the emperor, and heard clearly how he gave orders, telling the guards not to rush to save people, and even diverted the searching army away, as long as the people from Ze Kingdom imprisoned the two Sacred Doctors secretly. The doctor's intention.At that time, he thought that the sensible emperor had returned, but he didn't see the punctured wound on his palm until the guards withdrew to clean his majesty's hands.

After that, return to Beijing.

Soon, the guards who stayed in Zezhou brought Ren Ren back. Along with Ren Ren, there was also a yellowed and old note that had been turned a little bit curled up.He failed to read the contents of this notebook, but he did not ignore His Majesty's sudden change of face after turning over two pages.

Afterwards, the guards who came back with the note were all secretly executed, and Shunfu was smart enough not to have the slightest thought of spying on the contents of the note.

Afterwards, His Majesty went to the Imperial Book Collection Pavilion to search for two full days, except for the morning court, he didn't even come out to eat.Until two days later, His Majesty appeared with red eyes, and his footsteps were a little flimsy, but he went straight to the room of Ren Ren who was still unconscious.

He didn't follow in, but from the moment the door closed, he saw His Majesty's undisguised pain and faint despair looking at the sleeping man.

Then, he witnessed with his own eyes how far an emperor's tenderness can go.His majesty has never shown tenderness and thoughtfulness, which makes even an eunuch feel warm.Every time, when he saw His Majesty holding Ren Ren, the corners of his mouth would turn up slightly with the happiness and smile from the heart unconsciously on his face.

However, this situation did not last long.

When the eyeliner buried in Zheng Taifu's mansion reported that he had obtained a strange poison and was about to use this poison in the harem, His Majesty thought about it all night, and pretended not to know the next day, allowing Zheng's mansion to do the poisoning.As a result, "smallpox" broke out in the harem.With the spread of the epidemic, seeing the palace ladies, eunuchs, guards, and women in the harem who died of the disease one by one - such a large-scale cleanup by other people's hands, Shunfu had to secretly say hello for His Majesty .

Ren Ren stood up and offered to treat the illness, which was beyond His Majesty's expectation.

Shunfu clearly remembered His Majesty's shocked expression when Ren Ren made this request, as well as the subsequent joy and satisfaction.Your Majesty really thinks that Ren Ren is willing to share his worries?Just such a small action can make the emperor who sits on the world show such a happy expression, but it makes Shunfu have a bad feeling.

Let the blade get sick, and the toxicity mutates.

That night, His Majesty could not sleep all night.

The quilt fell on the floor again and again, and when he went to help His Majesty pick it up, he could faintly hear His Majesty whispering as he tossed and turned: "I am an emperor first, and then I am a man..." These words come and go He said, with a kind of loneliness and desolation that seemed to emanate from the soul, which made him feel distressed inexplicably.

Later, he understood the meaning of this sentence.

He is an emperor who puts the country first.Therefore, his life cannot be easily given up, and cannot be easily checked and balanced, so he can only use Ren Ren in exchange for self-control of life and balance of the court.Even if that person is what he loves, no matter how reluctant he is, he has no choice.

Shunfu thought, this is the sorrow of being an emperor.

"This is a debt." Looking back, Xiao Tianhong obviously looked at him, but he seemed to be saying to himself: "I owed him, but fell in love with him, and he owed me, and I used him... ..." Looking up, his expression was so illusory that he couldn't see clearly, and his voice was so low that he could hardly hear it: "This is a debt that has been entangled from generation to generation."

Shun Fu lowered his head and remained silent.

Only one sentence echoed in the air:

Life after life, entanglement endlessly.
