Huan Rong

Taihe three years, April, Wuzi

On the day Sima Huan left the city, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless.

When the convoy arrived at Xuanyang Gate, layers of dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, thunder and lightning suddenly fell, and heavy rain poured down.The officials seeing off had no time to dodge, and they were all drenched and drenched.Huan Wen said goodbye to Huan Wen in front of the car, but he was also not spared.

Strange to say, when Sima Huan left the city, less than a quarter of an hour later, the rain stopped suddenly, the clouds dispersed with the wind, and the clear blue sky seemed to be washed by water, as if the previous storm was an illusion.

Huan Rong was sitting in the car, dripping water from the ends of his hair, and sneezing again and again.

The little boy didn't dare to be careless, he opened the cloth towel to wipe Huan Rong's hair, and repeatedly ordered the healthy servant to raise the whip, and rushed back to the mansion as quickly as possible.

"You can't delay outside, I'm afraid you might catch a cold!"

"promise!"

The ox cart passed by the north bank of the Qinhuai River. Knowing that it was Mr. Huan's family passing by, a crowd gathered immediately.

Jian Pu has a bad heart, if he is stopped by the crowd, he may not be able to escape for a while.Lang Jun really caught a cold and fell ill, and he was afraid that he would run out of food and walk around.

So without any further hesitation, he swung the long whip across the air, hitting several whip flowers one after another.Another healthy servant jumped down from the shaft of the chariot and pulled the copper ring on the bull's nose.The healthy ox suffers from the pain, and the speed of the ox cart more than doubles immediately.

Because of the heavy rain before, the car cover was tightly covered and the door was closed.

Sitting in the carriage, Huan Rong could only hear the noisy voices of people, but could not see the situation outside.As the bullock cart accelerated, the sneezing became louder and louder, his head felt dizzy, and his cheeks flushed.

Seeing that Huan Rong's face turned red, the little boy dared to touch Huan Rong's palm, and was so anxious that he was about to shed tears on the spot.

"No serious problem, don't worry." Huan Rong leaned his back against the carriage, signaling the boy not to panic.

The little boy promised, his expression was still tense, and he stared at Huan Rong all the way.After returning to the mansion, while the maidservant fetched a dry robe, he ran to ask for a doctor.

Huan Rong wanted to say be careful, don't disturb Princess Nankang.He opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, his voice was hoarse, and he couldn't hear clearly at all.

With wet hair on his head, Huan Yi turned around outside the room in a hurry.

Princess Nankang and Mrs. Li rushed over after hearing the news, and were surprised to see Huan Rong's flushed cheeks.Thinking about the reason why Huan Rong was caught in the rain, he remembered another thing firmly in his heart, hating Sima Huan so much.

Why didn't God send a lightning bolt to kill that old slave!

"Mom, I'm fine. I'll be fine after taking the medicine and sleeping." Huan Rong stood up and comforted his anxious mother.

"Lie down, don't get up!" Princess Nankang pressed Huan Rong's shoulder, ordering the doctor to diagnose the pulse quickly.

The result of the diagnosis was as expected, Huan Rong caught a cold in the rain, took two doses of medicine, and the fever subsided without serious problems.

"Quickly decoct the medicine!"

Princess Nankang stood by her son's couch, stroked Huan Rong's forehead, and wiped Huan Rong's elbow and palm with a cloth towel.

The decoction contained sleeping ingredients, not long after taking it, Huan Rong yawned.

"Go to sleep." Princess Nankang put down the cloth towel, untied the silk cloth from Huan Rong's hair, patted Huan Rong lightly, and her voice became softer, "Mother is with you."

Huan Rong wanted to hold on, but his willpower was not as good as his instincts, his eyelids twitched in less than ten breaths, and he slowly fell asleep.

After touching Huan Rong's forehead, Princess Nankang breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed that the heat had subsided slightly.

Half an hour later, after confirming that Huan Rong was sleeping soundly, Princess Nankang got up and left the bed, and said to Mrs. Li: "My sister will watch Guaer for me, I want to enter Taicheng."

"Sister is going to see the Queen Mother?"

"Yes." Princess Nankang said with a sneer, "Gua'er is so sick, so naturally she can't leave on time. Besides, Gua'er called her aunt. This time she is going to serve in other counties, as an elder, she must show something."

Princess Nankang was angry with Queen Mother Chu.

Huan Dasi immediately asked for an official for Huan Rong. Of course, the Empress Dowager Chu could not stop it, so it would not be difficult to disclose the news in advance.

The results of it?

It was a foregone conclusion, their mother and son were forced into a corner, and there was not even a messenger in the palace!

Empress Yu and Princess Nankang didn't deal with it, and it was reasonable to conceal the news.Every time Queen Mother Chu encountered a problem, Princess Nankang seldom refused as long as she asked for help.In the end, the good intentions were not rewarded, and he was placed abruptly.

How could she be so angry!

"Emperor's decree? It's a joke!"

Others don't understand, but Princess Nankang is very clear that the emperor is not the emperor, and neither is the palace!If the Empress Dowager Chu hadn't nodded her head, the news of Huan Dasi's announcement would not have been concealed until the dust settled.

Awed by Huan Da Sima's majesty?To put it bluntly, it was just to preserve one's own interests.

Doing such an act of breach of trust and want to get out unscathed?Think beautifully!

Princess Nankang ordered someone to prepare a car to leave the mansion, and went straight to Taicheng to meet the Queen Mother Chu.

Listening to the eunuch's report to see the eldest princess, Empress Dowager Chu put down the scriptures and couldn't help smiling wryly.What should come will always come, in the end we can't escape this encounter.

When it was time for a cup of tea, the eunuch led Princess Nankang into the inner room.

The two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law sat facing each other, one with a shameful face, the other as cold as ice, the air in the room seemed to be frozen, the maids and eunuchs lowered their heads and tightened their necks, not daring to breathe.

"Sister, do you blame me?"

"What does the Queen Mother think?"

"Sister, I have no choice."

"It's a last resort." Princess Nankang sneered, "The old slave is powerful, and the officials can't help themselves. I don't blame you for the decree. But it is difficult to send someone to send me a letter? I'm prepared, and I won't be so caught off guard, there is no room for change!"

"A-mei, I am wrong about this matter." Empress Dowager Chu did not deny it.

"The Son of Heaven is not my own. It is related to the Jin Dynasty. You know better than me what Huan Yuanzi is like. I am sorry for you, but I am sorry for the past emperors. What would I do if you were me?"

Princess Nankang was unmoved, and continued to sneer: "If you still have some conscience, tell me the truth, what did the old slave promise?"

Empress Dowager Chu was silent for a long time, as if weighing in her heart.Finally, with a sigh, all the eunuchs and maidservants in the palace retreated.

The door of the palace was closed, and there were only two aunts and sisters-in-law left in the room, and the voice of Empress Dowager Chu sounded faintly.

"Northern Expedition next year, the emperor's surname will still be Sima."

"Do you trust him?"

"There is hope if you believe it, but if you don't believe it..." Queen Mother Chu shook her head, in her position, there was really no other way.

"Nankang, the matter has come to this point and nothing can be changed." The Empress Dowager Chu said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, your surname is Sima after all."

Princess Nankang didn't answer, but felt a chill in her teeth.

If her surname wasn't Sima, even if Gua'er wasn't liked by that old slave, she wouldn't be in danger from time to time!

"I know that the imperial decree has been issued, and my son will definitely leave Jiankang. But let me remind you, Yandu County is located in Qiaojun, and Xi Yin, who controls the area, holds the Beifu army in his hand. How do you know that the old slave will take my son? Send it away, do you have any other plans in mind?"

Empress Dowager Chu hesitated.

Princess Nankang didn't intend to say too much, and she changed the topic, explaining the main purpose of this trip.

"Gua'er was caught in the rain and caught cold, so the departure has to be delayed for a few days."

"Gua'er caught a cold? Is there a serious problem?"

"Thanks to the Queen Mother's blessing, I can still save my life."

There was something in Princess Nankang's words, and there was a hint of anger behind Mrs. Chu, and more embarrassment.

"Gua'er likes to read. There are many classics in the palace. Can you let me pick a few?"

Thinking of the last time Princess Nankang entered the warehouse, Empress Dowager Chu choked up.However, I was wronged first, so that Princess Nankang can calm down, so I can choose as many books as I want.

"I heard that there are two night pearls in the library?" Princess Nankang laughed, "just to illuminate my son's reading."

Empress Dowager Chu almost flipped the table.

It's unreasonable!

However, Princess Nankang took the lead and took the lead.Empress Dowager Chu was short of breath and helpless, so she could only order the eunuchs to open the warehouse and let Princess Nankang pick and choose.

In the final analysis, Empress Dowager Chu's husband died early, her parents and children died early, and she didn't even leave a grandson.Today's son is her nephew, and they are not close to each other, so what's the use of her guarding the warehouse in the palace.For the three of unknown origin?I feel bad thinking about it.

Empress Dowager Chu let go, Princess Nankang was not polite at all, her own carriage was full, so she simply borrowed a carriage from the palace, transported a whole three carts of bamboo slips and treasures, and left.

When Huan Rong woke up, Princess Nankang had already returned home, and she was counting the bamboo slips with Mrs. Li, sorted them, wrapped them in silk cloth, and put them back into wooden boxes.

The little boy was standing by the couch, seeing Huan Rong's eyelids trembling slightly, asking for water, he got up quickly, and took a lacquer bowl quickly.

"Lang Jun, don't get up." The little boy held a slender bamboo tube, put one end in the bowl, and brought the other end to Huan Rong's lips.

Huan Rong bit the bamboo tube, quickly drank half a bowl of water, his throat was no longer dry, and his body finally gained strength.

With the help of Xiao Tong, Huan Rong sat up slowly, and said: "I'm a little hungry, I want to eat millet porridge."

"Mr. Lang, do you want some sugar?"

"No, just pickles."

"promise!"

The little boy went out to call his servant, Huan Rong took the opportunity to cover his forehead.

Two seconds later, a light bead appeared in the palm. The body of the bead was crystal clear, moist as if wrapped in milk.

Huan Rong folded his five fingers together, as if holding a stream of warm water.

After a while, there was light overflowing from the cracks between the fingers, Huan Rong realized something was wrong, and hurriedly looked down, there were three jade pillows side by side on the couch, the same size, and the carved patterns were generally the same.

Jade pendants can be hidden, pearls can be hidden, what should I do?

Hearing the sound of footsteps turning back, Huan Rong hurriedly hid the jade pillow under his feet, wrapped in brocade quilt, barely able to cover it.

Thinking back carefully, before the jade pendant and pearl were increased individually, this time the jade pillow was directly doubled?

What is the reason?

Huan Rong couldn't figure it out for a moment.The only thing that is clear is that the light beads have disappeared, the belly sounds like a beating drum, and the appetite has to be doubled by [-]%.
