The author has something to say: even though it is a warm spring day outside the palace, she still feels like falling into an ice cave.

The young man's thin and pale face, Huben Zhonglang's words "the position is always reserved for him", and the words Liu Ying said to her before she passed away, all made her feel chills in the bottom of her heart:

"It was very chaotic that day. Someone wanted to assassinate your mother, someone wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob you, and someone took advantage of the chaos to push you. If it weren't for the sharp eyes and quick hands of Huben Lang next to your uncle, the back of your head would be knocked on the bluestone. Ah Yan, Ah Yan?..."

Assassins, chaos, serious injuries.

She buried her head between her knees, listening to the crackling sound from the brazier, feeling a little uncomfortable.

A tiny ray of fire passed through her fingers, jumping brightly on the tortoise shell.The cracked and exquisite lines spread into a painting in the smoke, but that painting is extraordinarily ironic and enchanting.She stared blankly, motionless.

It wasn't until a long time later that I heard a light knock on the door from outside the house: "The Queen Mother?"

The person who came was her palace servant, who had been serving her personally for more than a year.

From Yun Yao's early arrival in Han Palace to now, from high fever, coma, until she lived in Weiyang Palace to take care of Liu Gong, this palace attendant has been with her.Afterwards, this palace attendant accompanied her through Liu Ying's sacrificial ceremony, and this spring's big sacrifice, Lin Lin finally figured out that this palace attendant should be the closest and most caring person to her.

She calmed down, picked up the tortoise shell from the brazier, wiped off the ashes on it with a handkerchief, and said, "Come in."

The door of the room was pushed open with a creak, and the palace attendant was holding a handful of new silk and a roll of bamboo slips from unknown sources, which were lightly placed on the table.Before Yun Yao could open her mouth, she explained softly: "Just now when I returned to the palace, the Empress Dowager sent someone to send this, saying that it was for you, the Empress Dowager, so the servants decided to stay. You..." She looked Gu Yunyao persuaded with some regret and pity: "Just look at it."

She thought that Yun Yao was locked in the North Palace all day, so she was depressed all day.

But now Yunyao is no longer the queen of the past, and now living in the North Palace is just a mascot.

Yun Yao smiled, her pale face could not be concealed: "I see, you go down."

She had no intention of explaining to the palace attendant in front of her, and she had no way of explaining to the palace attendant.

Let her continue to misunderstand like this.

The palace attendant said softly, "Slave and maidservant leave", and then retreated.

The huge palace was empty, only Yun Yao was left alone.She fell headfirst on the couch, staring at the ceiling in a daze, feeling more and more sad in her heart.

Don't know what's going on outside, but now she wants to see him like crazy.

Slowly, a faint figure floated out of her body, and drifted forward along the familiar and unfamiliar palace.

She wandered around in the palace, and arrived at Weiyang Palace not long after. Empress Lu was in the palace accompanying Liu Gong to listen to the government, and the literati and bureaucrats were arguing fiercely.It seems that Empress Lu is going to dismiss the prime minister and enfeoff all Lus as kings.

If she remembers correctly, from now on, Empress Lu will firmly control the entire court.

But these have nothing to do with her for the time being.

She drifted slowly out of the palace along the road in her memory, trying to find a group of tiger and cardinal troops under the dazzling sunlight,

Soon, she found her goal and stood aside and waited patiently.

After a while, a Huben Guard left in a hurry, heading towards the toilet.Taking this opportunity, she pretended to be that tiger benwei, walked out from the corner of the shadow, and asked in a rough voice, "How about going to see that unlucky bastard tonight?"

——The "unlucky guy" was when she came back from the Spring Festival today, and she heard them tease Gao Su.

The people next to him responded one after another, and even made a bunch of them, arguing about what they should bring to see the unlucky guy.

She smiled, then backed away without a sound, and stood quietly, listening to their argument.

It's about [-]:[-]pm now, and after some time, they will be handing over their shifts.

The man who went to the latrine earlier—that is, the one Yun Yao imitated—returned soon.He looked at his colleagues inexplicably, because his colleagues all declared that his proposal just now was very good, and they decided to go with him to visit the unlucky guy.

The fellow explained to his colleagues with a twitching expression that he did sneak away for a while, but he just went to the toilet, and he never suggested going to "visit the unlucky guy", he swore.

It's a pity that people around don't believe his words.

No matter how hard he tried, his colleagues all agreed that he was the one who initiated the matter.

In the end, the dear friend could only pinch his nose to recognize it.This matter has also become one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the Huben Army.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the sun to set, and it was time for the Huben army to hand over.

They split up to buy some things, and then went to Gao Su's house together.Behind them, a faint shadow floated in mid-air, pulled ten feet away from them, followed unhurriedly.

While arguing about whether that man had actually appeared, they knocked on the door of Gao Su's house.

The door was opened by an old servant who seemed to be half-limped.The old servant looked a little surprised when he saw those tiger ben soldiers, but he still put them in the house and limped to pour water.After those tiger and cardinal soldiers entered the house, they put away their laughing and cursing looks just now, and walked up to the comatose companion one by one, comforting, sighing, or cursing, always trying to make him wake up as soon as possible. over here.

At last they left some more things, took their leave and left.

The old servant sent them to the door calmly, then limped them to the end of the alley.

When they left, a faint shadow floated into the room, and slowly floated to the side of the couch.

She saw him.

The young man on the couch was still sleeping deeply, his body was thin, his cheeks were sunken, and he let out a deep muffled groan from time to time.His chest rose and fell slightly, his breathing was very weak, and there were light blue blood vessels throbbing under his skin, which could almost be described as "withered".

A sour feeling came from nowhere, and gradually spread to her whole body.

She softly called Chang Gong, floated to the side of the couch, stretched out her hand, and gently covered his face.

He looked much thinner and gaunter than before.At this time, he looked like he was only seven or eight years old, but his pale and sickly appearance was unprecedented.She couldn't touch him, so she could only caress his face inch by inch, feeling sore in her heart.

If she could have thought of it earlier, if she could have predicted his location earlier...

But what good is that?A year ago, she had sent people to bring many rare medicinal materials, and the imperial physician Ling also brought two doctors over to investigate in person, but his condition did not show any improvement.She still remembered that the imperial physician ordered that this kid was weird.

He fell into a deep coma for more than a year, suffered moderate injuries, and had a high fever from time to time, but he never woke up.

She closed her eyes and called Chang Gong shyly.

There was a slight creaking sound outside, and someone came in.

She turned her head and saw that it was the old servant just now.The old servant limped into the house, lit the lamp, and tidied up the house very skillfully.She looked carefully for a while, and found that the old servant had a scar on his face and a mark, obviously a sinful slave who had committed a mistake.And his leg didn't look like it was broken by someone, but it seemed to be broken by himself.

Moreover, that old servant had a very strange, somewhat solemn and somewhat gloomy aura.

He cleaned up the house skillfully, and soon went to another room and brought out the food box.He also came out with an older servant girl.One of them helped the boy up on the couch, the other served him with some liquid food, cleaned his hands and face, and then helped him to lie down again.

During the period, the boy let out a deep groan, but he never woke up.

After serving the young man's meal, the old servant and the maid went to the next room, seeming to be talking.

Yun Yao watched quietly from the side, and finally sighed faintly.

She returned to the boy's couch and sat down, stroking his face with her fingertips over and over again, feeling her own powerlessness for the first time.If she is a doctor, then now she can know what Gao Su is and how to wake him up; if she is not the Queen Mother who was locked up in the North Palace by Empress Lu, then at least she can still try to get out of the palace , do something for him.

But now, she couldn't even touch him.

He was still lying there unconscious, never waking up, and never aware of what happened around him.

It wasn't until night fell that she bent down, kissed his forehead lightly, and left.

------------

North Palace.

into the night.

The moment Yunyao returned to the palace, she heard screams in the palace one after another.She opened her eyes, propped herself up and sat up, trying to recall what happened just now.Seeing her waking up, her palace attendants rushed forward one after another, asking if the Queen Mother was still well.

They tried to wake her up just now, but Yunyao seemed to have fallen asleep and never woke up.

She shook her head and said wearily, "I'm fine."

Then he asked: "Is there any supplementary food in the palace?" I missed the evening meal just now, and now I am very hungry.

The palace servants all breathed a sigh of relief, half of them went to bring her some porridge and side dishes, and the other half went to report to the Empress Dowager.In the previous court just now, blood was almost splashed on the spot, and something happened in the harem (the queen mother was still asleep), and Empress Lu was worried.

Yun Yao finished the porridge slowly, and received another letter from Empress Lu.Empress Lu meant that since the previous dynasty was in chaos, the Empress Dowager should stay in the North Palace and not come out.As for the emperor Liu Gong, he only needs to come to say hello every morning and evening.

She smiled wryly for a moment, put the edict aside, held the tortoise shell in her palm, and rubbed it repeatedly.

She wanted to know what was going on with Gao Su, and when he would wake up, she really had to ask the hexagrams.

In the dead of night, taking advantage of the lack of palace attendants, she threw the tortoise shell into the brazier again.

Curls of smoke rose above the tortoise shell, and a hazy picture unfolded in front of her eyes: the young man was lying on the sickbed, haggard, haggard, talking intermittently.When listening carefully, it is vaguely "A Yao".Suddenly one day, a person broke into the house, the boy suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the person in confusion, and then pursed his lips slightly.

The person who entered the room was a middle-aged man, whose face was [-]% similar to that of the boy. He was obviously the boy's father.

The two of them argued for a while, and the middle-aged man walked away.The young man looked at his back silently with complicated eyes.In the end, the boy stood up slowly, pressed the wound on his chest, and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you really going to leave?"

No one spoke.But after a while, the boy nodded and said, "I see."

Then the smoke slowly disappeared bit by bit, and the half-distorted word "fierce" faintly appeared on the tortoise shell, but because it was in the smoke, it was hazy and couldn't be seen clearly.There was a slight crackling sound in the brazier, and faint flames splashed around.

The scene disappears.But Yun Yao understood the meaning of that scene.

When she came to Han Palace, she also fell into a coma for half a year.It is said that at that time, no one could wake her up.

At that time, only she knew that Queen Zhang Yan told her that she was leaving, and from now on she would be Zhang Yan.

She thought that Gao Su should have experienced the same thing as her.
