Lei Yue Longmen

It was very late at night, but there was no one in the mansion.Qingyuan helped his wife back to sit in the inner room.After searching around for a long time, his legs and feet were numb from walking, but he didn't see half of Li Jingxu, but Gu Qing and Cen Zhu also disappeared.

"Will you go out to look for it too?" She asked worriedly.

"Maybe." Jiang Hou supported his forehead, his face was tired, and he seemed to have no intention of thinking.

The kettle on the charcoal basin sizzled, the fire was no longer lit, so Qingyuan picked up the kettle and added some new charcoal into it.Jiang Hou supported his forearm and turned his forehead, saying: "I can do the rest by myself, it's getting late, you should rest early!"

"Hey!" Qingyuan responded, still poured water for her, and was about to go out.Jiang Hou suddenly called her again, "Wait, Xiang Ming is back, walking very fast, let's go and see what happened to him?" Qing Yuan was old and deaf, so she didn't hear anything.After Jiang Hou came to him, he hurriedly helped them out together.

On the other side of the lake, Xiang Ming had already boarded the stone bridge, walking quickly towards the water pavilion.Holding an unconscious child in his arms, he ran to Jiang Hou in one breath, and held his face up to show her, "Ma'am, this child was hit by a carriage, is it possible to save?"

Qingyuan saw that child was nothing but four or five years old, wearing a white jacket, with a bruise on his left forehead, and fell asleep motionless.Feelings of pity welled up: "Whose child is this? How could he be hit by a carriage?"

Empress Jiang didn't hesitate to ask more questions, first tested the child's pulse, and ordered him to be carried into the room and laid flat on the couch.She leaned against the head of the bed and opened the child's left and right eyelids one by one, then pressed to the child's chest.He unbuttoned the padded jacket, revealing his thin and fair chest, took out the silver needle, twisted it slightly on the candle wick, and stabbed it calmly and orderly on the child's chest and several acupoints on his abdomen.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the gate of the house.Qingyuan thought it was Cen and Gu who came back, and rushed to open the door.Opening the crack of the door, I suddenly saw an upright black shadow standing at the door, almost out of my mind with fright.Hastily knocked down the latch, and took a few steps back.

The black figure stood motionless at the door, and after a while, he lifted the hood, revealing a face that was as white as the moonlight.

"Oops!" Qingyuan thought she had run into a ghost, but instinctively felt that it wasn't like it, so she boldly went to the door and poked a lantern to shine on her face.This face doesn't look like a bad guy, and it looks familiar.

Half of the heart was temporarily stuffed back into the stomach, but it was really weird for a girl to visit the door alone in the middle of the night.

"Girl, who are you looking for?"

"Cen Zhu."

The sound is also familiar.Qingyuan suspects that she is an old friend, but? Now that the outside is not peaceful, she has to confirm that she is right before letting anyone in, so as not to cause trouble.So pretend not to know.

"Cen Zhuo? Which Cen Zhuo?"

The person seemed to be stopped by the question, and after a moment of silence, he took a small step forward and came under her lantern, "It's me!"

In this way, Qingyuan could see more clearly.The eyes enlarged involuntarily, and then there was joy in the corners of the eyes, and said: "It turns out to be a distinguished guest! Please come in, please come in!"

The person who came was Li Jingchen.

When Huangling met, Qingyuan was still ill, and he was deeply impressed by this taciturn and prudent little girl.

While inviting people enthusiastically, he asked carefully, "Are you here alone?"

"Ah."

Qingyuan was a little surprised, but? After many years of experience with his wife, he knew that most of them were the same kind of people, and everything must be carefully arranged, so there was no need to ask more questions.Then he closed the door, turned around and sighed: "The last time I left the imperial mausoleum, I haven't seen him for several months. Your Highness has lost a lot, and I almost didn't recognize him."

It's not that she is being polite. Although the man is wearing a wide cloak at the moment, he looks bloated and bleak, as if blown by cold wind, and there seems to be skin and bones hidden underneath.

Qingyuan saw that as soon as she entered the door, her eyes were glued to the brightly lit water pavilion.Comprehensively said: "These days, Cen Zhu has been raised in another courtyard, and his health is much better. Just now he and Gu Qing went out to look for someone, and they haven't come back yet. Your Highness might as well go to the waterside pavilion and wait for a while."

"I'm here to visit Madam."

Facing Shang Qing's smiling but silent expression, Li Jing knew that this explanation was mostly useless.Originally, I thought of an excuse to come to visit, but because my heart was too deep and full of thoughts, I unconsciously exposed my intention of coming.In a trance, I can't remember the last time I made the same speech error.He stopped pretending to insist, and said: "Thank you, Auntie." Followed Qingyuan to Shuixie.

Stepping onto the stone bridge, he was a little shocked by the cleanliness and desolation in the courtyard, and asked Qingyuan, "How is Madam?"

"Okay, it's always been good. She also mentioned to me about His Highness. But now, Madam is saving people in the inner room, and she can't get out of her body. I'm afraid to treat His Highness slowly. His Highness sits outside for a while, drinks a cup of hot tea, and waits for Madam. If the side stops, I will notify His Highness."

As he spoke, he led Li Jingchen into the water pavilion hall, arranged for her to sit in the hall, poured green tea for the night and filled the hand stove with charcoal.

Li Jingchen looked at the deserted inner room passage, worried that Qingyuan would not have enough manpower here, and said empatheticly: "Gu Gu doesn't need to entertain me, just keep busy, I'll just sit and wait by myself."

Qingyuan smiled knowingly: "Okay!"

After an unknown amount of time, Qingyuan lifted the curtain from the inner room with a worried face, and saw that Li Jingchen was no longer there, only the cold hand stove was left on the table.Looking around, I found the door, looked left and right, and saw a thin figure standing quietly under the corridor outside the house, looking at the silent lake in a trance.

In the cold winter weather, snow fell at some point.Like chaff sifted down one after another, curled up on her uncapped hair? On her eyebrows.The person seemed to be still, his face tilted slightly, his mind was slightly concentrated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing it, Qingyuan felt very compassionate, and went forward, and put the hand stove filled with fresh charcoal in her hand.

"It's cold outside, why did His Highness come out?"

Li Jingchen had heard footsteps a long time ago, as if he had been hit by something, he didn't look into her eyes, and said in a low voice:

"I want to come out and have a look."

Could it be that Qingyuan couldn't guess what was on her mind, it's over now? In Choushi, Cen Zhu hadn't returned yet, and it snowed so heavily again, she was cold, and she had to be concerned about it.

He comforted: "His Royal Highness, please be at ease, Xiang Ming has already gone out to look for it, and Miss Gu Qing is here, she has always been as careful as she is, and nothing will happen."

Li Jingchen was full of emotions in his heart, and he forced a smile out.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the gate of the house was knocked, and there seemed to be a lot of people outside the door, noisy, mixed with a few high-pitched yells: "Slow down, slow down, don't fall!"

"It is estimated that they are back, I will go and have a look."

Qingyuan rubbed her hands, before she had time to open her umbrella, she ran to open the door with a lantern in the face of the heavy snow. Li Jingchen instinctively wanted to follow, but after only taking two steps, she stopped abruptly, pursed her lips, and stood still on the spot. wait.

The door opened, and Gu Qing, who was wearing a pomegranate jacket and skirt, walked in quickly with an umbrella in one hand, followed by a group of soldiers in official uniforms.Together they carried a stretcher, and under Gu Qing's help, they carefully stepped into the threshold.

Qingyuan froze for a moment, but saw an unconscious man lying on the stretcher, wrapped in a thick fox fur.One shoulder was exposed, and a knot was tied with cotton cloth, with dark red blood leaking from underneath.Surprised, "This, this, this" for a long while, just staring dumbfounded.

Gu Qing didn't have time to explain to her, so he danced and said, "Aunt Yuan, do you still have hedyotis diffusa and stove heart soil in the house?"

Qingyuan was taken aback, Hedyotis diffusa and Zaoxin soil are both antidote, could it be that this person has been poisoned?

Repeatedly said: "Yes! Yes! It's also a coincidence that Madam took those two medicines today, I'll get them for you!"

While talking, he glanced out the door, but he didn't see Cen Zhu, and went to Shuixie to get medicine with a worried expression.

When meeting Li Jingzhu, he subconsciously slapped his heart and said: "I was really scared to death. I thought it was Cen Zhu. He went out sitting and came back lying down!" Mouth.

Li Jing's face suddenly changed two times, he tightly twisted his fingers, and looked at the other side.

On the other side, Gu Qing has already ordered the soldiers to carry him to another courtyard nearby.Passing by the waterside pavilion, he suddenly saw a person standing on the other side of the stone bridge from a distance. The figure was very familiar, so he couldn't help but startled.

Because the stretcher continued to move forward, she had no time to pay attention to it, and continued to walk to another hospital.Vaguely felt that person also walked over?

When performing acupuncture, he noticed that there was a person standing next to Qingyuan who went to the next door, and Gu Qing instinctively felt that it was that person.

After the acupuncture was completed, the patient vomited a large pool of black blood.Gu Qing carefully applied the herbal medicine to the man's injured left shoulder, and then asked the soldiers to carry it to help him wrap the bandage.

After doing all this, she was slightly relieved, and noticed that the blue color on the man's face was much less, she silently packed the medicine box, and walked out with a heavy heart.

Qingyuan was yawning again and again outside, with tears still overflowing from her eyes, but she still couldn't bear to go to sleep, so she wiped off the matter with the back of her hand.Sitting next to her was a person who was extremely quiet from beginning to end. Gu Qing walked over, slightly bent his knees, and bowed to the person, "Have you met? Your Highness."

Li Jingchen returned to his senses, looked at the inner room, "How is Jingchai?"

From the yelling of the soldiers just now, she already knew that the person on the stretcher was Wu Jingchai, and she followed him all the way, worried that something was wrong with him.

Gu Qing said in sign language: "Young Master, the poison is not deep, and you are fine after the poisonous blood is injected." Li Jingchen nodded, feeling a little relieved.

"What happened? Why did it happen?" Qing Yuan asked impatiently, "Aren't you with Cen Zhuo? Why are you with him? Where is Cen Zhuo?"

Li Jingchen looked up at her at the same time.Gu Qing was also very confused, he thought that Cen Zhu had returned early, but now it seems that he is not.Let me briefly talk about the experience of that night.It turned out that when she and Cen Zhuo went out to look for Li Jingxuan, they met Qin Liang at a fork in the road.At that time, he was leading Wu Jingchai's men to track down Fei Congyi.Seeing Gu Qing and the other two, if they are rescued, immediately report the location of Wu Jingchai's injury and ask her to go to rescue them.And Cen Zhu asked to follow up with Qin Liang.In this way, Gu Qing parted from them at the intersection, and took a group of soldiers to Wu Jingchai's place.So I don't know what happened next.

After hearing the story, Qingyuan overturned the previous conclusion that Cen Zhu would be safe and sound.Worried:

"This kid, why is he so reckless, with injuries on his body? Why join in the fun at night?

Gu Qing blamed herself all over her face, Cen Zhu insisted on following to find Li Jingxi, she wanted to stop but couldn't.When he was about to tell Li Jingchen the reason for this, he saw that the other person's face was gray, not as calm as before, his eyes were glued to a certain point in the void, what was he thinking?

It wasn't until the third quarter of Yin time that Cen Zhu was brought back by an urgent knock on the door.At that time, the snow had already fallen deeply, Qingyuan went to open the door creakingly, and looked at Qin Liang, who had gray eyebrows and hunched over three small white mountains on his head and shoulders, and was quite surprised for a while.Is this going to be a snowman?Qin Liang didn't have time to take care of his body, turned around and moved the wheelchair parked at the bottom of the steps together with the man wrapped in a black coat, and Qingyuan subconsciously went to look at Cen Zhuo.Seeing her eyes closed tightly, her head tilted to one side, she seemed to be asleep.But his chest was bulging and he was obviously still full of energy.Touching her cheek with his hands, Qingyuan almost yelled, "Why is it so cold?" Qin Liang didn't respond, but his hands were tightly clenched into fists!

Two hours ago, Qin Liang witnessed her defeat with his own eyes!The enemy of Duanzhang was clearly in front of him, but he was rescued halfway by someone with higher power.She can obviously catch everything in one go, and bring down the aloof empress prince together!If what she expected is true, and the person in the carriage is indeed Tu Yuanshan, then they are equivalent to grasping the important handle of the East Palace. What's more, the Holy Majesty has clearly revealed to the world the signs of abandoning the crown prince.At this time, the imperial concubine has no strong support from outside and worries from inside. Even if she has great abilities, she is determined to escape? This is the last straw.There is no better chance than now to crush Donggong and the Tu family, he doesn't understand why she chooses to give up?Doesn't she want revenge?

until……

A few pots of charcoal fire were added to the inner room, and it was obvious that Cen Zhu had passed out from the cold.Gu Qing and Qing Yuan helped her rub her body from left to right, looking at those frozen purple lips, Gu Qing was so distressed that he almost shed tears.

"We went to Nanlu Mountain!" Qin Liang explained, staring at the door all the time.

"What? Are you going to climb Nanlu Mountain in the middle of the night?" Qing Yuan couldn't believe it, "Do you know how cold Nanlu Mountain is now?"

"I know, it's bone-chilling cold!"

"Then you still dare to go?!"

There was a trace of helplessness in the corner of Qin Liang's mouth, looking at the flickering flames, he said: "She insisted on this, saying that only when it's been cold, will it stop being cold again!! You know, few people can resist it? Her!"

Qingyuan: "This..." What's the point?

The shadow standing outside the door for a long time moved his lips slightly when he heard the words, a drop of sour and wronged liquid broke through the eye bank, rolled down, and brought out the pain like a needle prick. Soon, he was forced by her again erased.
