The days when I was imprisoned in the harem by the enemy monarch

From the perspective of others, when Lin Jian walked up the tower, he suddenly rushed towards His Majesty in a sneak attack, and must have stabbed him with a dagger in his hand.

General Wang shouted "Be careful, Your Majesty!" and rushed forward to pull Lin Jian's back.

Luan Yunye supported Lin Jian with one hand, turned General Wang away with a look, and then turned away the guards.

Luan Yunye lowered his head, smelling a vaguely clear bamboo fragrance in his nostrils, like a fairy who has lived in Baiyujing in the sky for a long time, and still has a fascinating aura on his body after descending to the mortal world.

He curled up his lips almost imperceptibly, and whispered in Lin Jian's ear, "So impatient to get married?"

Lin Jian'an lay quietly in Luan Yunye's arms, but did not answer.

Luan Yunye lowered his eyes, only to see the person leaning on his shoulder, with his eyes closed and his brow furrowed.

Already unconscious, but still holding the banner tightly in his hand.

Inside Changyan Pass, the palace

Luan Yunye stood in front of the bed with his hands behind his back, looking down at the unconscious person on the bed, his eyes were cold and gloomy.

On the bed, the unconscious man frowned, still holding Jingjie firmly in his hand.

The accompanying imperial physician walked carefully to the bed and pulled Jingjie from Lin Jian's hand, but he couldn't get it out.

The imperial physician frowned in embarrassment, and could only choose to take the pulse with the other hand.

Luan Yunye asked: "How?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this young master is overworked. He must have passed out after several days of lack of rest. Let him sleep for a few days before he wakes up."

"However, there are still many serious injuries on his body that have not healed, and he needs to be recuperated. He has to lie in bed for a month or two before he wakes up." A strange poison..."

Luan Yunye frowned slightly, without any emotion in his tone: "What?"

"If the minister's diagnosis is correct, this poison is called 'Nine Heavens Shenyin'. It is a rare poison in the world. Once it enters the body, it is difficult to eradicate, and it does not kill people immediately, but slowly hurts people's bodies." said the imperial physician.

"This poison will torture people for at least a year and a half. The more it is recuperated, the longer it is delayed, the more suffering it will be. People are exhausted because of their bodies, and most of them die of illness, and they will not be found poisoned. The poison is hidden. It is hidden, so it has the name of Shenyin."

"This son has been poisoned for more than three months, but in the past three months, he has been relying on drugs for a long time to overdraw his physical strength, which has already damaged the viscera and caused other diseases to come out. If this is not the case, the Shenyin poison cannot be developed so fast. It cannot be discovered by the minister."

"With his current physical condition, I'm afraid..." The imperial doctor carefully glanced at Luan Yunye's face, and lowered his voice, "I'm afraid he won't last for three months, and it won't be easy."

Luan Yunye looked at the person on the bed, his face became even more gloomy.

No wonder they broke through fifteen cities in Cangzhou in March, and instead of taking advantage of the victory to pursue them, they were willing to risk their lives and come alone to negotiate a peace.

--I see.

Luan Yunye asked coldly: "Is there no cure?"

"I can only prescribe the medicine first, let him take it on time to slow down the deterioration of his physical condition, and delay it for a while. As for the eradication, I have no choice but to go back to the Imperial Medical Bureau to discuss and study together." It can be seen that the emperor's expression is not good. Dare not to say that there is no hope of surviving after being poisoned, he replied, "However, among the medicines needed by this minister, there is a rare medicine, which is treasured in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and has never been brought to the border, and it is not easy to find it in the barren land of the border. , you have to go back to the palace to have it."

Luan Yunye remained silent, turned and left, suddenly stopped at the door of Xingzhi, and said coldly: "Don't mention it to anyone, otherwise."

Luan Yunye never said otherwise, and usually did it directly.

The imperial physician hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and replied respectfully: "I must... dare not say a single word."

Luan Yunye gave a cold "um" and went straight out of the room.

The imperial physician was so frightened that he lay on his stomach and didn't dare to raise his head. He didn't raise his head cautiously until he guessed that Luan Yunye had gone far away, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

I don't know why, since His Majesty said that the young master was poisoned, although His Majesty didn't show any expression, the aura around him was frighteningly cold, three points more terrifying than usual.

The imperial doctor slowly stood up from the ground, pushed the door and walked out of the room without daring to look back, only to hear a young eunuch passing by the door whisper: "Your Majesty came to the border in person this time, isn't it to teach Liang Guo a lesson? Now we have to drive back to the palace..."

Another eunuch stopped him in a low voice: "Quickly shut up, don't let anyone hear you. You dare to guess what His Majesty is thinking, are you going to die?"

Seeing the imperial physician who opened the door, the two young eunuchs hurriedly lowered their heads and ran away.

Standing outside the door, the imperial physician was also slightly surprised, and couldn't help but cautiously turned around to take another look into the room.

ten days later

Lin Jian had never slept so deeply, as if a hand was grabbing him, dragging him desperately into the depths of the darkness, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't wake up.

Sometimes I lose consciousness and sink into the endless darkness and dead silence, and sometimes I feel restless and feel that I still have a mission to do, unwilling to disappear into the world, desperately trying to wake up.

After struggling like this for countless days and nights, Lin Jian finally struggled out of the darkness.

Lin Jian suddenly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a light golden veil.

There were crystal beads of sweat on his forehead, and his curled eyelashes fluttered a few times. Lin Jian reacted for a while, and realized that the place where he was lying was a big bed.Looking at the surrounding layout, this place should be a palace.

Lin Jian recalled what happened before he passed out. Because he was afraid of falling off the tower, he threw himself towards the inside of the tower with his last consciousness before fainting.Presumably after passing out, Luan Yunye brought him back.

Lin Jian's right hand clenched subconsciously, holding a long bamboo branch.Turning his head to look, he saw that Jingjie was still held in his hand, and he couldn't help being relieved.

Fortunately, Jingjie is still there.

"Cough cough..." Lin Jian coughed twice, propped himself up with his hands, sat upright, and solemnly inserted the Jingjie vertically outside the head of the bed with both hands.

——It is as solemn as planting a flag on the battlefield to swear territorial sovereignty.

"How do you feel?" A voice came from above.

Only then did Lin Jian realize that there was someone else in the room, and when he looked up, he saw a man dressed as an imperial physician, about five or sixty years old, with a gray beard.

Listening to him asking how he felt, Lin Jian subconsciously raised his hand to cover his heart, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I feel fine. I'm sorry."

The imperial doctor said: "It stands to reason that you should feel pain in your heart."

Lin Jian could only answer honestly, "A little bit."

After saying that, Lin Jian habitually touched his lapel, but found that the medicine bottle hidden in the lapel was missing.

"Are you looking for the medicine you brought with you?" said the imperial physician, "All of them have been taken away by His Majesty."

Lin Jian: "Cough..." The tyrant stole from me!

"You used to take that when you felt weak, right? Although taking that medicine will make you feel better for a while, it will damage your body after all. It's tantamount to drinking poison to quench your thirst."

The imperial doctor ordered the servant to come forward with a bowl of soup, and persuaded him earnestly: "This is the medicine I specially prepared for you. From now on, you must remember to take it on time before three meals a day."

"You still have to take good care of your own body. You are only so old, so you have to toss your body like this."

When Lin Jian heard that he had to take medicine for three meals a day, he quickly shook his head and said, "But I'm not sick..."

The imperial doctor heard too much about people who were sick and refused to take medicine to pretend they were not sick, looked at Lin Jian and said leisurely: "A few days ago, Zhang Cairen just died of illness in the harem. Before Zhang Cairen died of illness, he also talked to me like this. "

"Cough..." Lin Jian chuckled sheepishly, took the medicine from the waiter and drank it down in one gulp.

Bitter... so bitter.

As soon as Lin Jian swallowed the medicine, he regretted it so much that he wanted to spit it out.

Suddenly remembering that the imperial physician had just said that he would have to take it for three meals a day, Lin Jian began to think about whether he should just lift his sword and kill himself.

"That's right." The imperial physician nodded in satisfaction, and said, "You can rest here, don't get out of bed and run around, I will leave first."

Lin Jian said, "Thank you, let's go slowly."

Before the imperial physician left, he took one more look at Lin Jian and hesitated to speak.

Judging from various aspects, the person in front of him must have been born in the family of Zhongming Dingshi, and can only be raised by long-term pampering. He can't fake it.However, judging from his current physical condition, his whole body was covered with severe injuries, and he had never been properly healed after being poisoned.

What is even more puzzling is that His Majesty actually brought him back to the palace from Changyan Pass, ordered the Imperial Medical Bureau to consult overnight, and specially appointed himself, the chief medical officer of the Imperial Medical Bureau, to take care of him every day, and ordered not to spread it to the outside world.The identity of this person is like a mystery.

The imperial physician wanted to ask something, but felt that it was inappropriate to say too much, so he turned around and left with his servant.

After the imperial physician left, Lin Jian put on his shoes and stood up, observing the room he was in now.

The room is spacious and tidy, with everything needed for daily life, even the items needed for cultural life such as pianos, books, and chessboards are taken into consideration.It's just that the doors and windows are closed tightly, and since the imperial doctor left, not even the slightest human voice can be heard.

Lin Jian didn't know how many days he had slept in. His legs were weak from hunger, so he leaned on the wall and walked to the window to open it.

Outside the window was a row of guards in black. When the window opened, they all looked at Lin Jian together.

Lin Jian twitched the corners of his lips, revealing an awkward yet polite smile.

"My lord, it's windy outside and it's easy to catch cold. You'd better close the window." A guard stepped forward, bowed to Lin Jian in return, lifted the window with his hand, and closed the window again with a "bang".

Lin Jian stood in front of the window, tried hard to digest what happened just now, turned his head and glanced at the door not far away, walked forward and opened it like the window just now.

Sure enough, there were more guards outside the door.

The guard bowed politely to Lin Jian, stopped Lin Jian's way by the way, and even spoke surprisingly similar words:

"My lord, it's windy outside and it's easy to catch cold. You'd better close the door."

Lin Jian: "..."

Just replacing "window" with "door", Lin Jian wondered if they had all memorized the lines beforehand.

Lin Jian closed the door and went back to the room. Immediately, he realized that he should have encountered the most troublesome problem that he could encounter as an envoy to an enemy country - being detained by the enemy country and placed under house arrest by the tyrant.

Just a moment after opening the door, Lin Jian remembered that he saw the endless palace buildings in the distance, and a red sun hanging on the cornice of the West Palace.

In other words: first, this is the palace of the tyrant; second, it is evening.

Luan Yunye didn't know what he was planning, but he dared to bring an envoy from an enemy country into the palace, to hold him in check.

Sitting still and waiting for death will never work. You can only wait until night falls and explore the current situation by yourself.

But right now my legs are so weak that I can't even walk...

Because he was hungry, Lin Jian scanned the room again, trying to see if there was anything to satisfy his hunger, and then he noticed a food box on the table.

Lin Jian's eyes lit up, and he walked to the table and opened the food box, only to see a bowl of lotus seed porridge inside, still warm and white.

Lin Jian felt like he had found a treasure, so he sat down and drank the lotus seed porridge in one gulp, touched his stomach, and felt that he was not full.

Since the tyrant does not give people enough to eat, he can only do it himself to have enough food and clothing.

·

half an hour later

It was dark, and a man and a woman laughed softly in the dark woods.

After a while, a young eunuch poked his head out of the woods, looked around, waved to the woods, and ran away first.

There was a soft "squeak" in the woods, and a palace lady in a bust-length skirt came out.The palace lady was carrying a small bundle in her hand, and she was tying her belt as she walked out of the woods.

After getting dressed, the palace lady held the small bundle in her hand and walked alone on the most secluded path in order to avoid the guards patrolling at night.

Suddenly, a knife hit the side of the neck, and the maid fell limply.

Lin Jian squatted down unhurriedly, and opened the bag in the maid's hand.

Sure enough, there was a new suit of clothes in the bundle, and there was a note on it, which said: "My dear, my sister Qiuju".

Just as Lin Jian went to the imperial dining room to have a full meal, when he saw the words on the note, his stomach suddenly felt nauseous, and he ran into the woods to vomit for a while.

Lin Jian didn't expect to be disgusted like this, she vomited with stomach pain, gasped for a while, went back to squat down in front of the maid, and took out her new clothes.

Although the palace lady violated the palace ban, she helped her anyway.In return, Lin Jian held the note in his palm, smashed it into a handful of dust with his internal force, and then dragged the court lady to a hidden forest by the roadside.

In this way, even if she is discovered, the court lady will not lose her life.

After dealing with the court lady, Lin Jian began to think about the clothes he was holding.

This is a woman's dress.Of course, the situation forced me to ignore women's clothing.

In this set of women's clothing, there is a double-breasted top and a skirt, but the necklines of the tops cannot overlap, and they cannot cover the chest at all.Lin Jian thought of the palace lady's attire just now, and guessed that the style of this outfit should be similar. The skirt should be tied directly to the chest with a belt after wearing the clothes.

In theory, it should not be a problem to wear.But Lin Jian had never worn women's clothing before, so he just tossed about for a long time.

The main reason was that Lin Jian had no breasts, and if the belt was not fastened tightly, the skirt would fall off her chest; if the belt was too tight, her chest would be constricted and she could not breathe.

Lin Jian studied for a long time before he managed to find the balance between not being strangled to death and not falling off the skirt, and put on the dress properly.

Other places are okay, but the skirt is a bit shorter, which is not a problem.

When he went to the imperial dining room to eat and drink, Lin Jian already had a general understanding of the layout of the palace.

In the middle of the night, there was no light in Luan Yunye's bedroom, but the light in the imperial study was still on. Luan Yunye was probably reading or reviewing memorials in the imperial study, so he could quietly go over to inquire about it.

Lin Jian bypassed the guards of the palace all the way, sneaked out of the imperial study room, and was considering whether to go to the roof to take a look inside Luan Yunye's study room, when he heard a "squeak", the door of the imperial study room opened .

Two eunuchs, one fat and one thin, stepped out of the threshold, dragging a woman's bloody corpse in their hands.

Lin Jian held his breath, and quickly changed his goal to hide behind a tree and listen to the situation.

Two eunuchs passed by Lin Jian dragging the corpse, and the skinny eunuch whispered, "Tsk, Concubine Li really knows how to seek death. What your majesty hates most is concubines in the harem who discuss politics, and she is still eager to seek death."

The fat eunuch said: "Concubine Li seems to have said that Liang Guo is extremely arrogant and wants to declare war with Liang Guo? Does your majesty want to negotiate a peace? This is not like your majesty..."

"Hush, take it easy. We dare not say whether Your Majesty wants to negotiate peace, but Concubine Li is dead if she dares to discuss politics... Have you heard of it?" The skinny eunuch lowered his voice and said, "Listen to my godfather, When His Majesty was five years old, he watched his biological mother, Concubine Chen, be beaten to death by Empress He, who was in charge of politics at the time."

"So, when His Majesty was 16 years old, he raised troops to enter the palace and killed all 3000 concubines and concubines including Empress He and the late emperor. Any concubine who dares to discuss politics in the future will be killed."

Lin Jian was shocked.

In the past, I always thought that the rumors were exaggerated, and Luan Yunye was not so vicious and brutal as to slaughter the concubine.I never thought I would have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes.Luan Yunye wouldn't be happy if he didn't kill someone for a day, and the rumors that even the concubines in the harem would be killed casually were not groundless.

Suddenly, an inkstone flew out of the window and hit Lin Jian impartially.

Lin Jian quickly came back to his senses, with a quick flash of his eyes and hands.

After laying down for many days, his body still hadn't recovered, Lin Jian was not as light and agile as usual, and there was a rustling sound in the bushes, revealing a cyan fringe faintly.

"brush--"

Almost instantly, more than a dozen guards rushed forward with their knives in hand, pointing their knives vigilantly at the bushes, surrounding them.

An elderly eunuch came out of the study in a hurry, and said to the guards outside the door, "Your Majesty asked our family to see what's going on outside."

"Back to Eunuch Gao." One of the leading guards replied, "There is something strange going on here, I'm afraid there are assassins hiding, you old man should be more careful."

"Let our family take a look, who is so bold that he dares to assassinate His Majesty in the middle of the night." Eunuch Gao said softly and loudly, but he stepped forward cautiously and cautiously walked towards the bushes. Look inside.

Seeing this, I couldn't help being stunned.

There are no ferocious assassins in the bushes, only a palace lady in a blue palace attire.The maid's hair was only tied loosely with a blue headband, and the blue hair half covered her skin like a moon.Wearing a blue dress, the melting white moonlight fell on her body, and the green clothes reflected the mottled shadows of flowers and trees, like a fairy in the moon palace stepping into the mortal world.

A beauty doesn't look like an assassin. Eunuch Gao was stunned for a while, and asked loudly, "Which palace lady, what are you doing sneaking around in the bushes in the middle of the night?"

Fortunately, she was prepared to pretend to be a court lady, Lin Jian lowered her voice and made up nonsense, "My mother asked me to bring tea to His Majesty. It was a bit scary just now, so I hid here..."

Eunuch Gao asked, "Where's your tea?"

Lin Jian blinked his eyes with an innocent face: "I'm so scared, the tea was spilled..."

The palace lady in front of her looks so pitiful, it's hard not to feel affection.Eunuch Gao looked at Lin Jian sympathetically, and said, "It's your fate, but fortunately the tea has been overturned. Otherwise, even if there is tea, you won't be able to send it in, and you won't be able to get it in if you have it. Long Yan is not happy, you better hurry up Let's go back."

Lin Jian turned around and left immediately. Suddenly, the door of the study behind him creaked and opened.

The golden light fell on his shoulders and sprinkled all over his eyes.

Lin Jian felt an invisible cold coercion falling on him, but he pretended not to notice it, and continued to walk forward calmly without any disorder in his steps.

A deep and majestic voice sounded from behind: "Stop."
