Gritting her teeth tightly, but her stomach hurt badly, Xue Ya's attention was divided into two waves, and finally the stomach side won.He clutched his stomach, unable to speak and had to let go of He Xulan's hand.

He Xulan pulled the silk handkerchief to wipe the bitten place, and focused his eyes on the curled up pale young man. He leaned over, and the fragrance wafted from his sleeves, "It will only hurt for a while, so don't bear it."

Xue Ya's long eyelashes trembled, and his vision was a little blurred due to the pain. Although he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, he heard the voice.He Xulan really poisoned the food and wanted to kill him.

This was an earlier death than in his dream. Xue Ya was in pain and despair. He stretched out his hand to grab He Xulan's hand and bite it hard, but he had no strength. As soon as he grabbed He Xulan's hand, his hands and feet were completely weak. After a while, I lost consciousness.

Xue Ya moved her eyeballs slightly, and slowly opened them.

He is dead?

No, it seems that he is not dead, and the surrounding environment is very familiar.

Xue Ya looked around. This was the room he usually slept in. He wanted to sit up, but found that his stomach didn't hurt anymore, but his body didn't have much strength.He tried his best to support the bed board with his hands and tried to sit up, but the door was pushed open from the outside, and there was rain and snow.

The person who came in shivered, put the hot water basin on the shelf, and was about to take the handkerchief, when he suddenly met Xueya's eyes on the bed, "Are you awake?"

He threw the veil back to its original place, and ran to the bed to help Xueya, "Are you going to get out of bed? I'll help you. After you wash up, I'll go and tell His Majesty that you're awake."

Xue Ya was still a little confused, "Aren't I in Ningfu Palace?"

The little eunuch who helped him said: "Oh, that happened three days ago. I was shocked when you were sent back that day. I thought you were dead."

Xue Ya was surprised, "Three days ago? I slept for three days?"

"Almost, I woke up halfway, but I fell asleep again not long after I woke up." The little eunuch helped Xue Ya get off the bed, and asked, "Are you hungry? You haven't eaten much for three days, are you hungry? After washing, I Bring you something to eat."

It was only then that Xue Ya realized that he was weak because he was hungry. He was helped to the hot water basin by the other party, and he frowned, "I want to take a bath."

The little eunuch hesitated when he heard the words, Xue Ya glanced at him, then turned his face away, he felt that he hadn't bathed for three days, he must be very embarrassed, he didn't want to look at the little eunuch, just said: "Please help me to prepare water , I will give you this month's monthly bill."

The little eunuch's monthly salary is not high, and when he heard that Xue Ya gave him his share, he was willing to take the trouble to carry the water.

Xue Ya didn't have much strength, the little eunuch helped him into the tub, he wanted to let people out, but he was afraid that he would faint in the tub, so he had to give up.The little eunuch stood by. He was just watching, but he couldn't help reaching out to touch Xue Ya's shoulder, "You are really white, even whiter than snow."

Xue Ya avoided the little eunuch's hand, "I'm almost finished washing, you help me bring the food here."

The little eunuch let out an oh, and went out quickly, but came back soon.When he came back, he saw that Xue Ya had already dressed, and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Xueya felt better after eating a meal, but she still had no strength. After he drove the little eunuch out, she lay on the bed and thought about things.

He Xulan didn't kill him?

Is the medicine not effective enough?

Thinking of this possibility, Xue Ya's hairs stood on end, then he was lucky to save his life.

Xue Ya then thought that she had bitten He Xulan, which was the next crime. He thought he would die, so he ignored it, but now he is not dead, what if He Xulan uses this as an excuse to kill him again?

Just as I was thinking wildly, someone came in.

Xue Ya thought it was that little eunuch again, so she suddenly felt bad.The little eunuch has been staying here since watching him take a bath, very annoying, so Xue Ya took the quilt to cover her head, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm asleep, you go out."

"You let me out?"

A somewhat cold voice sounded in the room, Xue Ya was startled for a moment, then immediately pulled off the quilt covering her head, and turned her head to look at the door.Seeing that the person standing at the door was actually Cui Lingjing, his eyes widened unconsciously.

Cui Lingjing looked at Xueya on the bed, "If you don't speak, then I will leave." After speaking, she made a gesture to leave.

Sure enough, Xue Ya's voice that sounded like she was about to cry came from behind, "Don't go, Your Majesty."

Cui Lingjing stopped, closed the door, turned and walked to the bed.Xue Ya fell into a coma for three days and lost a lot of weight. Her face was already small, but now it's getting smaller. Her chin is as small as two fingers can be crushed.There were no candles in the room, only the light coming in from the window, so the bed looked a little dark, and Xueya nestled in the bedding was like a ball of snow sleeping on it, Cui Lingjing suddenly understood the "xue" in the other person's name How did the word come about.

Xue Ya didn't know what Cui Lingjing was thinking, he stretched out his hand to reach Cui Lingjing, and said in a pitiful voice, "Your Majesty."

Cui Lingjing looked at the outstretched hand and hid for a while.After hiding, seeing Xue Ya's eyes became more pitiful, she couldn't help laughing.He looked at Xue Ya's bed, and saw that although the bedding on the bed was thinner, it was better than clean, so he sat down beside him condescendingly, "Are you feeling well?"

Xue Ya quickly grabbed Cui Lingjing's sleeve, as if afraid that someone would run away. Hearing Cui Lingjing's words, he nodded and shook his head again, "It's still a bit uncomfortable." He touched his stomach with the other hand, "It hurts."

Actually it doesn't hurt anymore.

But Xueya was afraid that He Xulan would kill him again, so she could only make the situation worse.All he can rely on now is Cui Lingjing. If Cui Lingjing is willing to protect him, he can still live.

Cui Lingjing looked at Xueya's stomach, stretched her hand halfway and then retracted it, "It will be fine if you take care of it, you continue to rest these few days, do you still remember why your stomach hurts?"

Seeing Cui Lingjing's movements, Xueya slowly moved towards the other party, and stopped when she was almost touching Cui Lingjing's leg, "Your Majesty." He whispered, "That day when the slave was delivering medicine, the queen mother rewarded him with a meal. , Slave... The slave should just be unaccustomed to the food in Ningfu Palace, which is why his stomach hurts. The Empress Dowager has a high status, so she will definitely not prescribe medicine to the food."

He had just finished taking a bath, and there was a fragrance on his body, and the fragrance from the bedding went into Cui Lingjing's nose together.Cui Lingjing raised her hand and patted Xueya's face, "You're right to think so, don't mention the stomachache in the future, understand?"

Xue Ya was a little taken aback, he felt that Cui Lingjing seemed to know something.

On the second day, Xue Ya learned from the eunuch that Xu Pingnan had died.

This incident frightened Xue Ya, "Grandpa Xu, isn't he..." He closed his mouth and remained silent for a while before asking, "Who gave the order?"

The little eunuch lowered his voice, "It's Your Majesty. When His Majesty came back early on the second day of his wedding, he ordered Mr. Xu to be beaten to death."

When Xueya heard this, the panic in her heart became heavier.

That morning, Cui Lingjing sent him to Ningfu Palace. Before he went, he saw Xu Pingnan, but Xu Pingnan was actually beaten to death that morning.

why?

"Do you know why His Majesty executed Eunuch Xu?" Xueya asked.

The little eunuch shook his head, "I don't know about that either."

Xue Ya was a little afraid that it had something to do with him bribing Xu Pingnan, and she was also afraid that Xu Pingnan would reveal his affairs. She had been weak for the past few days, but after being frightened by the news of Xu Pingnan's death, she became ill for a few more days.

During these drowsy days, he always dreamed of He Xulan, sometimes he dreamed that the two of them were in the tent, and he tried to break away from He Xulan's hand, but he couldn't; or dreamed of that meal, He had a severe stomachache, grabbed He Xulan's hand, and begged him to save him, but He Xulan just stood by and looked at him.

With half a month before the New Year's Eve, Xue Ya gradually improved.Xue Ya, who had just recovered from a serious illness, returned to serve the imperial court, because of the news of Xu Pingnan's death, he was very worried about doing things, fearing that Cui Lingjing would also ask someone to beat him to death.

Cui Lingjing seemed to sense Xueya's thoughts, when Xueya was about to go out after delivering tea again, he called Xueya to stop, and unceremoniously pinched Xueya's cheek, "I know what you are thinking, I Xu Pingnan spread the news about not having sex with the queen, so I beat him to death, you didn't do this, what are you afraid of?"

After Cui Lingjing finished speaking, she found that the person in front of her seemed to be frightened, and even opened her mouth halfway, revealing her white front teeth.

Tsk, more like a rabbit.

He felt that Xue Ya was stupid, so he said a few more words, "That dog servant Xu Pingnan not only spread the news, but also said that you were by my side that night. I wanted to appease General Lei, so I sent you to the Queen Mother." Receive the punishment, the Queen Mother has always been kind, so naturally she will not punish you severely, and General Lei can't say that I am favoritism. I didn't want to tell you, but if you are like this, I am afraid that if I don't tell you, you should scare yourself first died."

It took Xueya a while to close her mouth. When he realized it, his cheeks were burning with pain, and he couldn't help but want to hide, "Your Majesty, stop pinching, it hurts."

"It's only been a while since I felt..." Cui Lingjing let go of his hand lazily, looking at Xue Ya's extremely red cheeks, his voice suddenly paused, and after a long while, he coughed in embarrassment.

Xue Ya raised her hand and rubbed her face. He was afraid that his face would be strangled by the other party one day.

"Your Majesty asked the queen mother to punish the slave, what if the queen mother kills the slave?"

Cui Lingjing laughed, raised her hand to pinch Xueya's other side of the face, "Then I will be happy."

Xue Ya's eyes widened, wondering why, but Cui Lingjing didn't say anything, and her expression also expressed that she didn't want to bring up this topic again, Xue Ya had no choice but to give up.

A few days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was Xiao'an, which also happened to be Xue Ya's 17th birthday.

On New Year's Eve, there was a palace banquet in the palace, and there were not many serious masters in the palace. Apart from the emperor, the empress, He Xulan and a few concubines, it was enough to make up two tables, one of which was only seated by He Xulan, Cui Lingjing and Queen Ray.

As for the ministers, they sat in the outer hall, separated from the female relatives in the palace.

Empress Lei took off her heavy makeup on her wedding day, her face was charming yet heroic.Cui Lingjing hadn't stepped into the Queen's Palace since the day of her wedding, but Queen Lei didn't seem to care at all. She talked and laughed at Yanyan at the dinner table, drank a few glasses of wine, and said she was bored and wanted to sit outside, so she sat next to her. The table of the toffees.

Queen Lei's arrival at the concubine's table was incredible, the originally deserted table instantly became bustling, Xueya could hear the laughter and laughter through the rolling curtain, she couldn't help being a little curious, she glanced at the cubicle, But with the roller blind blocking him, he couldn't see anything clearly.

Suddenly, his foot was stepped on suddenly.

Xue Ya withdrew her eyes all of a sudden, because he was going to pour wine, he was standing behind Cui Lingjing and He Xulan. Judging from the foot that was stepped on, the person who stepped on him seemed to be He Xulan, but when he secretly looked at He Xulan , the other party did not have any abnormalities.

Xueya looked at Cui Lingjing again, coincidentally, Cui Lingjing just turned his eyes, and the two met. Cui Lingjing glanced at Xueya, and called the eunuch to come over, "You call some people, and give these twenty dishes to each other. to the tables of the ministers."

Cui Lingjing pointed to the twenty or so untouched dishes on the table, and ordered Xueya, "You go too."

Appreciating food is a way for the emperor to praise the ministers, and the ministers who can participate in the palace banquet are all ministers of the third rank or above.

Xue Ya and other palace people went out with dishes, he was carrying a plate of plum pot meat, and the eunuch asked him to carry it to the second table on the right.He walked to the second table from the top, put down the plum pot meat, and said at the same time: "Your Majesty rewarded it, sir, use it slowly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

The magnetic and hoarse male voice came to Xue Ya's ears. Xue Ya paused first, then raised her eyes.

It was a face that Xue Ya had never seen before. The man in front of him was about 28 or [-] years old. He was tall and tall, and even when he was sitting, he gave people a sense of menace.

The man's skin was not white, and he could even be described as black. In the Li Dynasty, a country where white was considered beautiful, he was obviously not a first-class handsome man, and his facial features did not conform to the world's aesthetics. He had single eyelids and an eagle nose.

The man noticed Xue Ya's gaze, glanced at Meiguorou, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

"No." Xue Ya withdrew his gaze and left the table, but when he entered the inner hall, he looked at the man a few more times, and even pulled a little eunuch who was about to enter the hall, "You know that Who is sitting at the table?"

The little eunuch took a look, "That's General Yi."

"General Yi Yefeng?" Xueya asked.

The little eunuch nodded.

Xue Ya let go of the other party, said thank you in a low voice, and immediately turned and entered the inner hall.This Yi Yefeng was the general he had dreamed about in his dream, but this did not surprise him. What surprised him was that Yi Yefeng's voice was like the voice he heard when he was hiding under the table in Ningfu Palace.

As a foreign minister, Yi Yefeng should not be able to appear in Ningfu Palace logically, and it was obvious that the two of them were planning something that day, Concubine Shu, Grand Master Xu, what does this have to do with He Xulan and Yi Yefeng?

and many more!

Regardless of the reasons for Concubine Shu and Taishi Xu being involved, it would be very abnormal for He Xulan and Yi Yefeng to meet in private. Could it be that the two of them are already dating?

That... that's great!

If he could let Cui Lingjing see with his own eyes the scene where He Xulan and Yi Ye were sealed together, then Cui Lingjing would definitely feel very uncomfortable, and maybe he would turn around and like him.

But now he only guessed that He Xulan was having an affair with Yi Yefeng, not sure.

So, at the next family banquet, Xue Ya kept staring at He Xulan secretly. When the other party got up and said that he was going to change clothes, he immediately moved secretly to the outer hall. Seeing that the second table on the right was empty, he immediately felt that he had guessed pretty close.

Xue Ya wanted Cui Lingjing to catch the adulterer, but Cui Lingjing got up at this time to have fun with the officials and accept the toast from the officials, so that Xue Ya couldn't intervene at all.

He couldn't bear to give up this opportunity, after much deliberation, he told the little eunuch next to him that he was in a hurry to urinate, and went out of the palace looking for an opportunity.
