[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

Thousands of families are in a dream, and the lights are dimmed.

The crabapple plants of Xifu planted in the Xuanshi Palace are just about to bloom, and soon they will bloom like a brocade and be rich and fragrant.The torrential rain did not stop, and it fell in a patter, engulfed by the night wind, and the buds trembled bit by bit, and the flowers and leaves were in a mess. When the rain cleared the next day, Kyoto would surely unfold a mid-spring beauty with blue skies, vast hectares, and mountains. .

Because of this postscript, it's time to enjoy the rain at this time.

However, this is not the case.

After returning from the imperial hospital, Tang Yu sat under the eaves after entering the hall, holding a volume of books in her hand, looking straight at the crabapple trees in the garden that had been ravaged by the wind and ravaged by the rain, her face was pale and her eyes were serious.Slanting wind and drizzle, even if it is covered by the eaves, it is inevitable that they will not get a little wet, and it is not a good thing to stay late at night, Chi Zai and Qing Dai are still at the Ritan, Yu Zhu had no choice but to go forward to persuade them.

Yu Zhu said: "Your Majesty, the journey has been full of dust and dust, and you are tired and tired. Even if you have something on your mind, you can discuss it with others in the future. It is better to rest for now."

After she finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence, only the sound of the wind and rain lingered in her ears, perhaps the silence was too much, the sound of the wind and rain sounded extraordinarily lonely, if a person who is in a low mood will definitely feel sad and sad up.

The persuasion was obviously fruitless, so Yuzhu had to step aside and said nothing.

Tang Xi sat quietly, his normally straight back bent down in despondency, and his spirit was sluggish.As the wind and rain intensified, the rain curtain under the eaves dripped and splashed to the ground, wetting the hem of her clothes that had already been stained with dust and mud on the road.She moved her eyes away from Haitang, looked up at the sky, wondering when the thick clouds will be cleared, and when tomorrow will come.

Right now, Doctor Zheng has informed the truth that the pulse case he submitted a year ago was indeed a forgery, and he did not dare to disobey the Queen Mother's order, so he had to forge the pulse case to deceive the emperor.

If the pulse record is fake, it is true. What she holds in her hand is the real pulse record, which records the empress dowager's monthly pulse. According to the doctor, the mother's body is actually not as good as before. It was about the year she ascended the throne during the Langfengyuan Incident.The toxin penetrates deep into the internal organs, and the remaining poison is not cleared, so the damage is not limited to the eyes?

No wonder... No wonder, why she is more afraid of the cold every year, why her hands and feet are always colder than ordinary people, why she is not allowed to visit late at night every time this year.Together with the pulse case, all kinds of arrangements were arranged by her long ago, just to conceal her illness, so as not to let herself know that her body was almost riddled with holes, and her eyes would no longer be able to see.

Holding the pulse case tightly with his fingertips, a sad smile appeared on the corner of Tang Yu's mouth.She didn't understand why it was hidden from her. If it was true that she was poisoned and contracted a few years ago, she had already ascended the throne at that time, and only the imperial edict was issued.Doctors can't solve it, it's his incompetence!Could it be that everyone in the Xinglin world in this dynasty is mediocre?

She doesn't believe it, no matter how stubborn it is, it will be cured!

A night of wind and rain, before the steps drip until dawn.

The sky is dimly lit, and the rain has stopped.A few steps away, there are flowers blooming on the crabapple tree, delicate flowers and tender stamens, light red and emerald green, rainwater drips along the petals, and falls to a water under the tree, causing circles of ripples.

A person sat under the eaves for a whole night, sitting quietly for a long time, without saying a word.It wasn't until the morning sun broke through the clouds and cast down, and the sound of the clepsydra reminded her, that she seemed to wake up, her slack eyes gathered again, and she stood up holding Yuzhu's hand.

Yu Zhu touched her hand, frowned and said: "Your Majesty has just recovered from an injury, what should I do if I suffer from the wind and cold? Go to the palace first and change into clothes."

Tang Yu said flatly: "No need." As she said that, she took a few steps forward, the steps were big and fast, and she was extremely eager.Although she didn't say it clearly, Yu Zhu knew where she wanted to go. His Majesty has always been so nervous and so out of touch with the Queen Mother. This sincere and passionate feeling, when you think about it, forcibly connects many biological mothers and daughters by blood. They are all compared.

On the contrary...it seems unusual.

Yu Zhu was taken aback by her sudden thought, and when she came back to her senses, Tang Yu stopped half a step in front of her.There is a small puddle of water under the crabapple tree, and a remnant flower floats on the surface of the water. It is spring, when everything is full of vigor and vitality. After a mere night of wind and rain, it withers before it can fully bloom.

Tang Xi stared at the solitary and scattered flower, pursed his lower lip, and there was a little sadness in his eyes.After a while, the grief dissipated. She looked at the crabapple tree in front of her. The tree was full of flower buds. The spring breeze blew and the spring rain moistened it, and there were flowers blooming here and there.Her eyes were as black as ink and as clear as water. At this moment, they were filled with budding crabapples, as if she was entrusting her hopes and hopes to them.

Bu Yu waited outside the hall, Tang Yu sat on it, and it took only a moment to arrive at Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and the palace people retreated after welcoming them, so there were only two of them left in the palace.The door of the hall was closed from the outside, and there was a creaking sound, which cut off the inside and outside, and the room became a very private place, without hindrance, anything can be said and anything can be done.

The queen mother was sitting on the couch. She looked at Tang Yu who was hesitant to speak after entering the palace, and patted the seat beside her calmly and indifferently: "Come on, sit down and talk."

Last night the Queen Mother did go to sleep, but when she woke up, the palace servant told her the details, and she knew that Tang Yu had come.She had been here before, but she didn't enter the door. In addition, the time had not yet arrived, and the doctor was waiting outside the palace, asking for advice, and wanted to resign to save her life. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess—her illness, after all, cannot be concealed.

Tang Xi's gaze fell on the Queen Mother's face. In the morning, she put on thin makeup, and because of the light makeup, a pair of delicate and beautiful eyes stood out.She stared into her eyes without turning her eyes away, and slowly walked over while watching, even if the doctor said that it would take three to five years for her eyes to dim, she was still worried, for fear that she would secretly conceal the truth again.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager smiled, stretched her hand forward, pulled her to sit beside her, bent her lips and smiled slightly: "I can see, very clearly, but I can't see clearly at night." Eye disease It will take time to get worse, and now there are decoctions to suppress it, except for the occasional dizziness and blurred vision, it is basically the same as ordinary people on weekdays.She knew what she was worried about, so she spoke out to comfort her first.

She looked calm and breezy, as if someone else was suffering from an eye disease instead of herself, and she never showed guilt for concealing something from her, her expression was as calm as if it was reasonable and nothing wrong place.Tang Yu felt distressed and complained in his heart, but quickly suppressed the complaint, and blurted out: "Aniang, it will be fine, it will be fine. Liu Xie can't cure it, and there are many medical officers in the Imperial Hospital. Even if they are incompetent, the folks There are often capable people and strange people, I will find them to show you, and they will definitely be cured."

As a doctor, Liu Xie presides over the Imperial Hospital. He is proficient in medical skills and is highly respected. He is incompetent, and many medical officials in the Imperial Hospital are also incompetent.Besides, among the people, Yu Sheng's father resigned from office and retired, he is well-known in the Jiangnan Xinglin circle, and his relatives and friends are helpless.Although Song Jiyanshu and others were not from famous families, they used to roam the streets, mountains, rivers and rivers in the city, and what they saw and heard was too much and mixed, but they were still at a loss what to do.

Tang Yu said this lightly, innocently and domineeringly, and for a moment he didn't know whether he was comforting the queen mother or numb himself.

Tang Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and her tiredness could not be concealed. Just now she had tightly clenched the Empress Dowager's wrist, and now she calmed down a little, she hurriedly withdrew her hand first, and said falteringly: "Mother, I..." On the day of my birthday , she vowed that she would never violate the etiquette in the future, but she was often at a loss, for them, how far did they have to go to be considered a violation of etiquette?Since such a skin-to-skin relationship like now, it must have been within the rituals in the past, but what about now, and what about in the future?

"I thought you came to Xingshi to inquire about crimes, but didn't you?" Since I learned about it last night, I probably didn't sleep all night.The Empress Dowager looked at the bloodshot eyes in her eyes, and raised her hand to touch her face in distress. The gentle and reserved strength, and the cold fragrance hit her face, which made her tremble involuntarily.

Her consolation, the Empress Dowager did not respond positively, she avoided it, and directly picked a question that she could not avoid. Although the words were slightly serious, the tone was teasing and joking, which made people unable to feel nervous.

As she spoke, the Queen Mother's warm and soft hands did not move away from her face, as if she knew that this was the greatest compensation she could give her.

Tang Yu was greedy for this rare intimacy. After hearing the question, he quickly said seriously: "Of course I'm not asking the teacher to blame - I'm just worried about you. The doctor has only a half-knowledge, so I want to ask you, who did it, and why you... Keep it from me."

The person who tied the bell must be untied, and the same is true for detoxification.If it is known that the instigator, no matter what he intends to do, it is not difficult to force him to give the antidote or the method of detoxification with his life.Even knowing that many years have passed, the lingering poison may have penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and even if there is a solution that is difficult to eradicate, she is still lucky.

Who did it?

Baiju is too late, although more than ten years have passed, looking back now, the scenes of the past are still vivid in my mind.Thinking of the cause and consequences, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but sighed in a low voice: "Chang Geng, before you, I had four adopted sons."

Tang Yu paused, she didn't know why the queen mother suddenly turned the conversation here, and nodded hesitantly: "I know." Although she was a baby when she first came, she had the thinking of an adult, she could perceive words and expressions, and she could see subtle things.Even without mentioning this, her four elder brothers who died prematurely were both descendants of the royal family and were also titled posthumously. She had no reason to be ignorant of the rituals that had to be carried out in accordance with the regulations and etiquette every year on the festival day.

But what about this?

The Empress Dowager lowered her eyes and closed them again, as if she couldn't bear to recall the tragic and cruel scenes she witnessed before.After a while, she opened her eyes, and her long and thin eyelashes trembled slightly. She said in a deep voice, "In the past, your grandfather was blinded by power and bent on usurping power. At that time, your grandmother was still alive, and she was decisive. The two assistant ministers were expelled from the court by her plan. Your grandfather kept a low profile and pretended to be a loyal courtier in order to gain the trust of the royal family. Then he married his daughter into the palace and attached himself to the royal family. His status as a relative of the state made it easier for him to form a party for personal gain develop power."

These things involved ancestors, Tang Yu didn't know much about them, and he listened attentively, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Aqi——is the late emperor's Empress Yuan. She was weak since she was a child, and she was infertile. Your grandfather was afraid that she would have no children, and her life would not last long. She would not be able to sit firmly in the throne, and the Yan family would lose the convenience of the imperial court. So when I was of the right age, you married me in quickly to prepare for both. Before this, your grandma was far away in Jinling and didn't know what he was thinking. After she knew it, how could she tolerate it."

The author has something to say: In compensation for breaking the update, five hundred words will be presented in the little green characters.In the future, if there are no accidents, it will probably be updated every other day in the old time, and Yizheng who filled a bottle of soy sauce finally has a name, although I typed it casually _(:з」∠)_

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

The Empress Dowager has always been cold-tempered, and at this moment the tone of her words is rarely filled with injustice, resentment, and remembrance: "Your grandma has such a resolute and unyielding temperament. She saw your grandfather's desire for profit and found it difficult to get lost, so she forced her with her life..." Then, she sneered. Her lips were silent, firstly, she didn't want to mention it when it touched her pain, and secondly, she was not in Jinling when the incident happened, so how could she explain it in detail?

Mother passed away, but she was getting married, so funny!

"Auntie." Tang Yu called softly.She reached out, patted the back of her hand lightly, and then held it in her hand.The Empress Dowager seldom shows weakness and helplessness in front of others, seeing her now, how can she hold back her heartache, she subconsciously wants to embrace her, hesitates for a while, then softly calls her and pats her lightly, Chat for comfort.

The queen mother didn't dodge, her hand trembled for a while, and then she let Tang Yu hold it in her hand.

In an instant, the weakness and helplessness became invisible, and the queen mother continued with her usual expression: "Your grandfather has completely dispelled the idea of ​​usurping power and the throne. But there is another person who has a wicked heart. Ah Qi was seriously ill, and soon passed away. We Taking over the Central Palace, the late Emperor looked emaciated at that time, because he had no son or daughter, he chose a son from the clan as the crown prince, and I raised him in the Central Palace."

"Just over a month later, he died young, and the cause of death was poisoning. Yousi was in charge of all the meals in the middle palace. I never asked questions, but a thorough investigation turned out to be fruitless. I suspected that there must be something wrong, so I secretly inserted eyeliner to find it. Later , the late emperor adopted two more sons from the clan, but they were twin brothers. Because of the precedent, I became more cautious in the meals, and the chef and the cook checked the details before using them. After a while, the hidden eyeliner got a little bit. Secretly reported to the late emperor, but Yan Xun took the lead."
