The nine princesses of the East Palace

The emperor was still in the East Palace and said he wanted to summon me. I went to the main hall. The emperor was sitting on the main seat, and the empress was also there. I went forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, empress."

"No courtesy." The Emperor said, "Good boy, it's a shame that you still miss Cheng Yin and are willing to come and take care of him."

I seldom see the emperor. When I saw him in the past, he always sat on the throne, far away. This is the first time that he is so close. It turns out that his temples have already had a little gray hair. He is like this. He looked like a father, and reminded me of Dad.

I said: "Your Majesty, my wedding with His Highness is about to happen, but he was stabbed suddenly and fell into a coma. It's perfect for me to take care of him."

The emperor was silent for a while, "That's fine, it's thanks to you."

I guarded Li Chengyin with clothes on, for two days, but he didn't wake up. During this period, the imperial physician visited countless times, and the emperor and empress also came many times.The queen looked unwell, as if she had a serious illness.

On the third day, early in the morning, the empress came again, "Xiaofeng, it's hard for you to take care of Yin'er by yourself, I brought you a helper." She said as soon as she entered the palace.

It was only then that I saw that besides Aunt Rongshuang, there was another tall maid beside her, but the maid had her head down, and I couldn't see her face clearly.

"What does the Empress mean?" I asked confusedly.Li Chengyin's wound deteriorated, he couldn't get a drop of water, and he couldn't even feed the soup. I was always worried about his health, and I didn't have time to think about the meaning behind the empress' call.

The queen said: "Yin'er was injured so badly this time, although you are there to take care of her, but you are the Ninth Princess of Xizhou with a noble status, how can I ask you to do this heavy work of serving people, if it spreads, Maybe it's us? The N Dynasty made things difficult for you. This is Xu Niang from my palace. She is a man of duty, with good hands and feet, and she is not bad-looking. Share your worries."

She said such a long paragraph because she was afraid that I would not be able to take care of Li Chengyin well, so I quickly explained: "Empress Empress, I can take care of it alone, and even if I can't, Yongniang will help me, I promise not to bully His Royal Highness, don't worry."

After hearing this, the queen frowned slightly, she paused, and then said: "Anyway, Xu Niang has to stay." After speaking, she said to Xu Niang, "Xu Niang, don't come here to meet the ninth princess."

Xu Niang took two steps forward, bent down and bowed to me, "Servant Xu Niang, I have seen the Ninth Princess."

I stared at her for a while, and it turned out that she looked like this, with a pretty face and a tall stature. It was too dark that day, so I didn't see her appearance clearly.

Being stared at by me, Xu Niang felt a little uneasy, her head lowered lower and lower.

"Well, excuse me." I realized that it seemed a bit inappropriate for me to stare straight at him like this, so I said.

Only then did Xu Niang step aside.

Even though I said that I can take care of Li Chengyin by myself, the queen still left Xu Niang in the East Palace.

If someone else stayed, I might be very unhappy, but Xu Niang is different...

She is so pitiful and has a gentle temper. The empress intends to send her to the East Palace. If she cannot stay here, the empress will definitely feel uncomfortable. Maybe it will be bad for her. I still let her stay in the East Palace and wait for Li Cheng Yin said it after waking up.

But, when will Li Chengyin wake up?

On the fourth day, I couldn't bear his dying appearance anymore, so I used the potion of elixir that my master gave me. The master said that the medicine is also useful for external injuries. When I got the medicine, I went to the doctor for examination. However, the imperial doctor didn't know what ingredients were in it, so I didn't dare to use it. I tried it on my arm, and didn't see any adverse reactions, so I secretly applied it on his wound while no one was there.

But after he used it, he didn't feel better at all. Instead, his complexion turned red, he developed a high fever, yellow water oozes from the wound, and his breathing became weaker and weaker. The whole East Palace was frightened by him, and I was also frightened. light.

The imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse and said: "Your Highness's lungs have been injured, and now the evil wind is hurting the pulse, which is extremely dangerous."

The emperor sent other imperial physicians, but they also shook their heads, helpless.

It was only then that I realized that Li Chengyin might not survive this time.

But I didn't cry anymore. When I found out that he had an accident, I had already cried a lot. We girls in Xizhou don't cry all day long. If he really can't live, then I will die with him.Anyway, if he dies, I have to marry someone else, and I don't want to marry someone else.

These four days, like several decades, are too long.

At this moment, I calmed down instead, sitting on the footrest in front of the bed, rubbing Li Cheng Yin's cool hands to keep him warm.

I kept talking in his ear, talking about interesting things when I was young, saying that I hate him always calling me stupid, but I like seeing him smile at me, saying that I want to go to Jiangnan to see flowers in spring, Said that I always dreamed of a boy who caught fireflies for me, and later, this boy became him...

I talked a lot, my saliva was dry, and I drank several cups of tea, but I couldn't wake him up.If it had been different, he would have complained a long time ago, saying that I was bored.

Probably because I drank too much water, I always felt urgent to urinate, but when I wanted to let go of his hand and go out to relieve it, I found that he was holding my hand tightly, and I couldn't break it apart. I thought He woke up, called him several times, and looked closely, but he was still asleep.

I couldn't shake his hand, so I sat down again.

Tired of sitting, I lay down beside the bed and looked at him without blinking.In the past, I didn't dare to look directly at him like this, otherwise he would stare at me and kiss me. Once he kissed me, I felt that I was no longer me. Become dull and feel hot.

But at this moment, I thought, as long as he can wake up, I will let him kiss him, he can kiss him any way he wants.

It was late at night, I was tired from talking, so I stopped, but Li Chengyin began to ramble.I listened closely and realized that he was calling "Mother".

I remembered what Empress Mingyuan had said when I was still in Xizhou, and my heart felt weak for a while.

He has never even seen his own mother. The queen raised him, and the queen was very strict with him and often punished him.He is obviously a noble prince, why is he so pitiful.

I wanted to get to know him little by little. Both Yongning and Luo Xi said he didn’t like to laugh, but he always smiled at me. He caught fireflies for me and killed the white-eyed wolf king. He grilled fish for me. I peeled crabs, bought sugar men and rabbit lamps, he gave me a cat and two gerbils, he spent an ingot of gold to take me to go boating, he bought me Huasheng and wanted to grow old with me, I When I was injured, he would rub my feet with a straight face. I was afraid that I would not be able to sleep because of the cold, so he would come to sleep with me with the quilt in his arms...

Besides these, there are many, many things.Unexpectedly, we have known each other for less than half a year, but we have experienced so many things together.
