Wang Zhijing

.

Why did he recall that past event?Did he think of me?What do you think of me?Is it his enemy?

I smiled, and Lian Fang exclaimed beside me: "Your Majesty."

I pressed the corners of my lips with a handkerchief, and the white silk was quickly dyed bright red.I threw the blood-stained dirt on the ground and shook my head lightly to stop Lian Fang from panicking.

"It's nothing." I said lightly, "I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I feel much more comfortable when I spit it out."

295 Su Yun – Reunion

I suddenly remembered Qing'er's death.

Those days were like hell, watching the one I love step by step towards the quagmire of death, helpless.

When thinking of those days, there were two jade cups on the table.I always felt that one of them looked familiar, so I looked for it in the study of the old house, and I found another similar wine bottle.

It was these two wine bottles that reminded me of the autumn of the fifth year of Xunqin.Qing'er's last days, and the moment when she closed her eyes in my arms.

The pain was so painful that I was completely overwhelmed. I was in a coma for three whole days before I woke up under Feng Yi's medical care.

The family never mentioned the cause of Qing'er's death, and after I woke up, I still didn't remember why she got sick.

My mind was in chaos, and countless tiny scenes flickered in my mind, but they were blurred and discontinuous fragments that could not be formed at all.

My mind refuses to think about the ins and outs of these things. It enlightens me but closes the key point.

Seeing the red and swollen eyes of my mother and Minmin, and my father's newly recovered body falling into crisis again, I had to make up my mind to lock all the fragments in my brain to the dark place in my heart, and seal them tightly to prevent them from invading again. my body.

The recovery this time was more difficult than the previous ones. After two months, I was able to act as usual.

Father's illness has improved, but this time the blow was a little heavier.I know that I am not filial, and I am ashamed of my parents.

My father called me to the bedside and said to me: "The fallen leaves return to their roots, it is better to return home early."

My mother wiped away tears while listening, and I choked up and said, "It's not the time to say that yet. Besides, Minmin's marriage is still undecided, how about staying for a few more months?"

Father shook his head: "It's not good to bother Imperial Physician Feng all the time."

Mother said: "Physician Feng comes to see you every day. My Su family is not a famous family. Your father doesn't want to owe him too much."

I naturally understood how my parents behaved, so I thought about it for a while and said, "In fact, Doctor Feng once invited me to re-enter the Imperial Hospital. If my parents agree, I can follow him to learn some acupuncture and moxibustion methods? Father relieved the pain."

My parents looked at each other, quite hesitant, they didn't want to stay in Beijing for a long time, most of it was because of me, I already knew this.

But I made up my mind, so I said, "If I go back to my hometown like this, my son will definitely not be able to obey me. At least I will go back after I learn the golden needle method."

My parents know my temper well, so they don't persuade me much.

The next day, when Feng Yi came, I answered him.He talked about this matter no less than three or four times, and now he finally got the answer, very happy, and asked me when I would be able to take office.

I replied that today would be enough.

He felt even more happy, and after using the needle for his father, he let me enter the imperial hospital with him, and he didn't need to notify the official department by name. My lord, here are some medical books and medicines, you can read them first, and tomorrow I will teach you how to use needles."

My mother and I have learned some methods of using acupuncture, but the art is not perfect, and we only rely on some internal skills to open up the acupoints, so the effect is better.My mother didn't believe that Feng Yi was willing to teach the master's unique skills. When I returned home, I showed her those medical books. She flipped through them and sighed: "Doctor Feng really wants to teach you. These manuscripts will never be passed on."

I studied with Feng Yi for more than half a month, and he asked me to go with him to take the pulse and see a doctor. He also asked me to try acupuncture for less serious symptoms.

One day, someone in the palace sent a message that the Empress Dowager was slightly ill and asked the medical officer to see her.

The eunuch who delivered the message told me the life of the medical officer he ordered for the third time, and I realized that I heard correctly.He was indeed saying that the queen mother summoned Su Yun to see a doctor.

I looked at Feng Yi suspiciously, he nodded, he seemed to know the inside story, but he didn't want to say more, handed me his medicine bag, and said: "Master Su, enter the palace quickly, don't make the Queen Mother wait too long .”

I had a lot of doubts in my heart, so I bit the bullet and followed the eunuch into the palace gate. When I entered the Ci'an Hall, a young man walked towards me.

Looking at each other, both of them were stunned.

The eunuch beside him and the palace guards inside and outside the corridor already knelt down together: "My lord."

My mind went blank for a moment, and then I fell to my knees.

In fact, it is not too unexpected. The young man in Fenglin is luxurious and cold, which is quite consistent with the legendary young king, and his behavior is already regarded as a king. I guessed a little bit, but suddenly Seeing it, it is inevitable to be shocked.

The lord of the country didn't seem to have expected to meet me at this moment, he was stunned for a long time before saying: "Get up."

I got up and still bowed my head. Hearing the voice was close at hand, I still seemed to be in a trance: "Su Yun, why are you here?"

I respectfully replied: "It was the Empress Dowager who summoned my minister to see a doctor."

"You... now work in Tai Hospital?"

He was very surprised to ask, and I was also surprised.The medical officers who can enter the imperial hospital to see the royal family will be seen by the king. Could it be that my entry is arranged by someone else?

I nodded in agreement, and knelt down again: "I don't know if Su Yun is in Changle Mountain, he is the ruler of the country, and there are many disobediences. He deserves death."

The king shook his head blankly, "Is your illness... better?"

Of course I remember the missed appointment that day, but I think he should have known everything, and I went to Fenglin afterwards, but I didn't see anyone.

I nodded and said, "My minister is fine, thank you for your concern."

"Get up." He raised his hand, hesitated, and finally said, "The queen mother should be waiting for you, go in."

I said I obeyed the order, got up and moved in, but he still hesitated again and again before following in.

The curtain in the palace was drooping, and someone in the palace brought me a low table to sit on. A woman's voice inside the curtain said, "Is it Mr. Su? Ai's family has been coughing a bit lately, and it's nothing serious. Just take a pulse." Bar."

I agreed with "yes", and lightly tapped the wrist protruding from the curtain with my middle and second fingers.The Empress Dowager's pulse condition is calm, as she said, there is nothing serious, but in her sixtieth year, her body is not as strong as when she was young. In autumn, the climate in the capital changes rapidly, and it is inevitable to suffer from cold air.

I asked about my diet and daily life, and prescribed a prescription.

Sitting on the throne in the outer hall, the lord of the country looked over from afar with only a dazed look on his face.

The queen mother said: "Wang'er is here too, please come in, Your Majesty."

The lord of the country walked into the curtain, the mother and son of the Tian family whispered for a while, and then the queen mother said: "Then you can send Lord Su out for me, and thank him for me."

The lord came out from inside, and I hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty, this is a matter within Su Yun's duty, how can we say 'thank you', it is really frustrating."

The lord smiled lightly and said: "The queen mother said that your prescription is good, and your pulse is accurate. Let's go, the widow is going out too, so I just go with you."

I was still kneeling on the ground, a middle-aged eunuch helped me up and said, "Lord Su, Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat, and I felt that the words seemed familiar, and I hurried out the door, only to see the young man standing under the long steps, his eyes were dazzled by the golden sunlight, but his eyes were dark.

The way he looks up at the sky always has a lonely look.

I lost my mind again, when he saw me coming, he smiled slightly and said, "Let's go."

I followed behind him one step behind, trying to suppress the tumbling thoughts in my head, not thinking or recalling the past entanglements with him.I don't want to let the piercing pain knock me down again.

"How is your father's illness?"

The person in front spoke slowly without looking back, just walking his own way at a leisurely pace.

"I'm well." I replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for arranging Imperial Physician Feng to come to see my father."

"You have thanked me." He smiled lightly, paused, passed through a palace gate, and continued to walk outside.

"The queen mother has always been in good health, but recently she has been plagued by minor ailments. The widow will also know how worried you are."

I froze for a moment, I didn't expect him to talk about my father's illness like this, a warm current flowed through my heart, and I followed after a pause.

"Your Majesty, benevolent and filial piety, is a role model for my generation. Su Yun doesn't have any prayers now, only wishing for the health of his parents, which is his greatest wish."

He nodded in front, and sighed a long time, "Yes. Parents are still worrying about the children no matter how old they are. The empress mother is always worried because of me, which makes her health worse."

This language is full of sympathy.

I couldn't help but also sighed deeply, "Speaking of which, Su Yun is not filial. He hasn't returned home for many years, and fell ill several times after returning home. It always makes his parents worry, and he really feels uneasy."

The king turned around, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and signaled not far away: "You can just leave the palace here. You go."

I remember clearly, those two times in Fenglin, every parting could be postponed, his reluctance at that time made my heart beat.But when they met again today, they were so decisive.

I don't know why I was a little inexplicably disappointed, but my face was still calm, I bowed and saluted: "Su Yun will leave."

When I walked out of the palace gate, something made me stop, looking back inexplicably.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the slender figure was still standing in the respective place, and his shadow was stretched very long.

He stared at my way home, motionless, his cheeks were moist, tears had already flowed down his cheeks.

296 Su Yun – Past Events

The queen mother summoned me several times after that, sometimes the king was there, sometimes not.

When he was there, he just sat under the far window and looked at the scenery outside. Occasionally, when he looked up, he would inadvertently find his staring eyes.Ruo eyes
