you are my tomorrow

At this time, the palace's New Year's Eve dinner was halfway through, because it was the New Year, and the other brothers also came back to celebrate the New Year together. Han Qing left early because of a headache, and Meng Qinghuan naturally followed.

Han Qing was actually not particularly uncomfortable, he just felt that Meng Qinghuan didn't like the fake faces at the banquet, because Meng Qinghuan, who was sitting next to him, didn't talk much all night, and didn't watch the show seriously.

On the way back to the Hezheng Palace, the air was dry and cold. Although it hadn’t snowed these days, the snow on the ground still remained due to the cold weather, reflecting the warm candlelight from the red lanterns along the way. Every corner is warm red.

Meng Qinghuan followed Han Qing, who was walking slowly, step by step. After walking out of the banquet hall, Meng Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, you see that the other three princes have wives and concubines, and you are still alone...don't think about yourself , but also think about the country, this country still needs successors..." Han Qing stopped and looked back at Meng Qinghuan with a little research, Meng Qinghuan also stopped, lowered his head and did not look at Han Qing.

"You want me to marry a wife and have children like Rong Zhen?"

"...The emperor is the emperor after all, and Qinghuan is just Qinghuan. Your ambition is to win the hearts of the world, but Qinghuan's ambition is to treat more patients during his lifetime. Everyone in the world hopes that the emperor will have successors, and the wish of the people in the world is also the same. A wish to celebrate..."

Han Qing turned his head, sighed softly, and continued walking towards the Hezheng Palace. When he was approaching the Hezheng Palace, Han Qing stopped, "I will consider your opinion, but you have to stay in the palace as my exclusive Doctor, Comet feels uncomfortable, you can also take a look, this is a condition."

"Whether the emperor wants to get married, there is no need to negotiate conditions with Qing Huan, and Qing Huan does not dare to become the emperor's future exchange conditions, Qing Huan..." Meng Qinghuan lowered his head, not daring to look up into Han Qing's eyes, so when Han Qing bowed When kissing him lightly, it took him a while to react, and at the same time pushed Han Qing away.

"Your Majesty, don't be like this... There will be others..." Meng Qinghuan looked around vigilantly, but luckily no one passed by.

"Stay in the palace and be my exclusive imperial doctor. This is not a condition, but an order." After speaking, Han Qing dragged Meng Qinghuan into his bedroom.

Comet at this time personally lit all the red lanterns in the Ming and Qing palaces. When the last one was lit, Comet standing on the ladder looked around the Ming and Qing palaces, which were full of red from the house to the yard. There is still a lot of light outside the Ming and Qing palaces, but Comet, who is alone, still feels that these lights cannot illuminate the haze in his heart. Even though his eyes are full of warm red, his heart does not feel cold at any time...

Meng Qinghuan didn't resist, and let this man who owned the world do whatever he wanted to him. Although there was a voice in his heart shouting, "Just stay, let him alone." But the promise to the abbot also tugged at Meng Qinghuan's heart. With the storm, Meng Qinghuan's thoughts were gradually swept away, leaving only the room full of spring...

When Han Qing was about to enter, the maid knocked on the door of Han Qing's room without fear of death. Han Qing didn't want to interfere with her, but the increasingly urgent sound forced the two of them to stop.

"Emperor... Your Majesty, let's go out and have a look..." Panting slightly, Meng Qinghuan pushed Han Qing who had stopped, but Han Qing had no choice but to get out of bed, put on two clothes, and his face was dark. Opening the door, the maid at the door stood tremblingly. Although she didn't know what was going on inside, at least she knew that Han Qing was not in good health recently and needed to rest early.

"What's the matter?" Han Qing asked the maid gloomily. The maid didn't say anything, but moved away so that she wouldn't block Han Qing's sight. Surprised——

Zhao Rongzhen, who was wearing a red groom's suit, knelt in the snow, the red lantern reflected his thinner face compared to a month ago, Zhao Rongzhen looked at Han Qing complicatedly, begging and sad.

"Go down first, don't let others in." Han Qing kept looking at Zhao Rongzhen, and said something to the maid next to him. The maid bowed and left the door of the bedroom, "Come in." She only wore two thin Han Qingmin took off his clothes, then turned and walked into the room, Zhao Rongzhen hesitated for a moment, stood up and walked into the room, shutting the cold wind out of the door.

Han Qing put on another dress and sat in the small living room outside the bedroom. Zhao Rongzhen entered the living room and knelt down in front of Han Qing, "You should be at home at this time, why did you come to me in wedding clothes? The bride You should be waiting at home." Han Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.

"Your Majesty, I don't think there is any way to marry someone else. I beg you... Please allow me to be with His Royal Highness Comet. I will treat him well for the rest of my life..." Zhao Rongzhen bent down, his forehead almost touching the ground, begging voice spoke.

"Forever? What can you give him? Where are you going to live in the future? In the palace? The general's mansion? What are your plans for the future? Have you heard the word 'people's words are awesome', let alone others, now in the banquet hall The people here are me and Comet’s family members, their pointing and gossip can crush the two of you, if it is spread outside the palace, how the people will evaluate our royal family, have you ever thought about it?”

Zhao Rongzhen lowered his head, he didn't think about these problems, he just wanted to be with Comet with all his heart.

"We... will not let others know..."

Han Qing snorted coldly, "Huixing is my favorite brother, he can have a marriage blessed by everyone, why should he be with you forever with no name or distinction?"

In fact, although Han Qing cares about the face of the royal family, the last thing he wants is his closest brother and best friend to live in those gossips and be scolded by people poking his spine, so Han Qing decided to be a bad person. I don't want two people living in that environment.Han Qing also finally understood why Zhao Rongzhen asked him that day whether love was important or being in the right family was important.

Zhao Rongzhen opened his mouth, but was left speechless.

Meng Qinghuan, who was hiding in the back room, quietly listened to the conversation between Han Qing and Zhao Rongzhen outside. Just now, he was still hesitating whether to stay in the palace, but when he heard "pointing and gossip", the steelyard in Meng Qinghuan's heart returned. He has deviated a lot towards "leaving". If he continues with Han Qing, he has no confidence that the people in the palace will not know about him and Han Qing, and he has to follow the agreement with the abbot...

"You go back, Mr. Zhao doesn't know you ran out like this, right? They must be anxious to see you not here, especially the bride... let's go." Han Qing waved his hand, got up and walked into the inner room.

Han Qing and Meng Qinghuan opened the door in the inner room, and saw Zhao Rongzhen knelt in the living room for a long time again, his sad expression never faded, but he seemed to have made a decision and stood up, because he knelt for a long time, Zhao Rongzhen could only limped to the door of the bedroom, went out and closed the door again, the two people in the inner room breathed a sigh of relief for a while.

In the middle of the night, the room got a bit cold. Han Qing and Meng Qinghuan went back to the bed and shared the same quilt. However, the passion just now had faded. "Your Majesty, you really don't want to give His Royal Highness Comet and General Zhao a chance?"

"It's not that I don't give it, it's that they involve too many people, people they know, people they don't know, people from the royal family, people from the court, people from outside the palace... Do you think they can accommodate the two of them? What will they do in the future? "Han Qing looked at the ceiling, and his low voice penetrated the softest part of Meng Qinghuan's chest.

Yes, their problems also exist in themselves and Han Qing.

Han Qing lay on his side, facing Meng Qinghuan who was also lying on his side. Han Qing could see Meng Qinghuan's warm smile. Although it was warm, it was also dazzling, so dazzling that Han Qing gradually became sleepy.

"Go to sleep." Han Qing stroked Meng Qinghuan's hair, then closed his eyes contentedly, Meng Qinghuan raised his body halfway, and blew out the candle beside the bed.

This night, Han Qing's bedroom was warmer than ever.

The next morning, without knowing what time it was, Han Qing and Meng Qinghuan were woken up again by a hasty knock on the door. Meng Qinghuan got up in a daze, opened the door, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making Meng Qinghuan shiver. She cheered up a little, it seemed that it had snowed again at night, the snow was so white that Meng Qinghuan couldn't keep his eyes open.

"What's the matter?" Meng Qinghuan asked the maid at the door with a nasal voice that had just woken up.

"Mr. Meng, take a quick look..." The maid stepped aside, and Meng Qinghuan only saw Zhao Rongzhen kneeling in the snow in front of the door with his head bowed. There was a bit of snow, and there was hoarfrost left by breathing on his lips, but his eyes were closed. It seemed that he should have knelt here all night!

"General Zhao!" Meng Qinghuan took a deep breath, and immediately regained consciousness from his sluggish spirit. He immediately ran out of the room, squatted in front of Zhao Rongzhen, touched Zhao Rongzhen's cold and stiff face, and touched his neck. Feeling the throbbing of the artery, he put his finger under Zhao Rongzhen's nose, and breathed weakly, "Hurry up, someone! Carry General Zhao into the house! Then boil hot water, the more the more Good!" Meng Qinghuan called, and three male servants hurried out from the backyard, and then several maids ran to the back to boil hot water.

Hearing Meng Qinghuan's shout outside, Han Qing was startled, immediately rolled out of bed, put on a coat and ran out of the bedroom. Zhao Rongzhen in front of the door really surprised Han Qing, both he and Meng Qinghuan thought that Zhao Rongzhen had already returned home .

The servant and Meng Qinghuan wanted to lift Zhao Rongzhen up, but failed after several attempts, "The general's knees and the ground are frozen!" A sharp-eyed servant first discovered the problem, and Meng Qinghuan squatted in front of Zhao Rongzhen to examine it carefully. , Indeed, there is a layer of ice under the knees and on the ground, "Hurry up and bring some hot water to melt the ice around here, but don't pour it directly on the knees."

A maid took out a teapot, which was originally for Han Qing and Meng Qinghuan to drink after waking up. Seeing the maid's clumsy appearance, Meng Qinghuan grabbed the teapot and carefully poured hot water around Zhao Rongzhen's knees. The ice gradually melted. Opened, and when it was enough to lift Zhao Rongzhen up, the four hurriedly carried Zhao Rongzhen into the room and put him on Han Qing's bed, but because the time was too long, Zhao Rongzhen's knees could only be bent, and there was nothing he could do. Straightened.

"Hurry up and call Imperial Physician Jin and Imperial Physician Han, they are very knowledgeable in orthopedics..."

"No! Don't ask the imperial physician!" Han Qing anxiously ordered a servant, but was interrupted by Meng Qinghuan, who stepped up to Han Qing's side, "Everyone in the court knows that yesterday was the great joy of the Zhao family and the Wu family. On that day, if you let others know that the general is not married but came here, won't they be surprised? Won't they ask you why? So I can't invite..." Meng Qinghuan's words reminded Han Qing.

"What should I do?"

Meng Qinghuan paced back and forth a few times, "...I'll do it, I'll try it. Although I haven't studied orthopedics, I have read a lot of medical books on orthopedics in the palace. Bring the acupuncture needles, and bring the hot water." Meng Qinghuan ordered the maid beside her, and the maid took the order and trotted to Meng Qinghuan's room.

Meng Qinghuan took off Zhao Rongzhen's coat with great effort, covered his upper body with two layers of quilts, and then rolled up his trousers above his knees. Seeing that both knees were bruised and cold, Han Qing frowned and watched, "It seems that the cold air has penetrated into the bones, and the cold air has to be forced out, or the legs will be useless." Meng Qinghuan suddenly remembered what the abbot said to make Zhao Rongzhen pay attention to joint injuries. Even if they can be cured, the root cause of the disease will remain.

"Does this mean?" Meng Qinghuan thought silently in his heart.

The maid brought all the hot water, towels and acupuncture needles. Meng Qinghuan rubbed his hands first, and then put his hands on his knees when they got warm. Han Qing followed suit. Meng Qinghuan covered one leg, Han Qing covered his other leg, "Your Majesty, please don't do it, the cold will come to you." Meng Qinghuan looked at Han Qing with concern, but Han Qing shook his head.

"Isn't it the same for you? Besides, I am also responsible. It would be great if I could watch Rong Zhen leave yesterday..." Zhao Rongzhen's appearance made Han Qing blame himself. Meng Qinghuan saw the guilt in Han Qing's eyes, so he followed suit he went.

When the two of them felt that their hands were no longer hot from rubbing, the skin on Zhao Rongzhen's knees was already a little warm, and the hot water was not too hot. Meng Qinghuan wetted the towel and put it on his knees, and took it off when it was cold. Qing also followed suit, and the two cooperated tacitly to help Zhao Rongzhen who was still in a coma.

After repeating this, when the bruises on Zhao Rongzhen's knees had turned red and swollen and could almost stretch out, it was almost two hours later, and thin beads of sweat had already appeared on the foreheads of Han Qing and Meng Qinghuan.

Because he had been kneeling outside the door for almost half the night, Zhao Rongzhen, who had caught a cold, had already started to have a fever. This was also expected by Meng Qinghuan. Help Zhao Rongzhen reduce the temperature on his forehead.

It was almost lunch time. Meng Qinghuan asked Han Qing to eat first, but Han Qing was full of guilt and had no appetite to eat at all. Meng Qinghuan knew that Han Qing's health was not very good recently, so he asked the maid to watch and pulled Han Qing by himself. go to eat.

"Your Majesty, this is the negligence of the two of us. Don't blame yourself too much. You should also blame Meng Qinghuan." The two sat at the dining table, eating the food in their mouths like chewing wax. In fact, neither of them could eat much. thing.

"Should we...should we tell Comet?" This was a question that Han Qing had been pondering all morning. Meng Qinghuan actually wanted to ask Han Qing if he should tell Comet. Meng Qinghuan could only smile wryly in his heart.

"Then it depends on what the emperor wants..."

"Your Majesty, please see Mr. Zhao outside the door." A maid hurriedly walked in and reported to Han Qing. Han Qing and Meng Qinghuan looked at each other. They didn't expect Father Zhao to find him so soon.

Han Qing walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room. Father Zhao was pacing anxiously back and forth in the living room, while Zhang Wei stood quietly aside. He first noticed Han Qing coming out and called "Your Majesty". He stopped and looked at Han Qing.

"Your Majesty, please tell me the truth. Did our family really come to the palace? Last night Zhao Rongzhen escaped from home before the ceremony. Lord Wu also took his daughter home last night in a fit of anger. After sending it back, some people said that he was heading towards the palace, did he come to the palace?" Father Zhao obviously didn't sleep all night, his eyes were red from staying up, and his white hair seemed to have increased a lot overnight. His face has also become a bit older.

Looking at Zhao's father like this, Han Qing's heart felt as if a knife was being twisted. He didn't know whether to say he was in the palace or not. If he said he was in the palace, Han Qing didn't want to tell the real reason why Zhao Rongzhen came to the palace; In the middle of the day, Father Zhao wanted to take people around to find Zhao Rongzhen.

Moreover, Zhao Rongzhen's situation is very bad now, and Han Qing doesn't know how to tell Zhao's father.

Han Qing felt that this multiple-choice question was too difficult.

At this time, he finally understood why Comet hid Zhao Rongzhen in his palace last time and did not tell it. Maybe Comet was also contradictory.

Zhang Wei knew that Zhao Rongzhen had escaped from home and would only come to the palace. The last time he came to see Zhao Rongzhen, Han Qing knew nothing, so he said frankly that Zhao Rongzhen was not in the palace, but he looked at Han Qing in a difficult situation If you look at the expression, you know that Zhao Rongzhen is probably in the Hezheng Palace, and you should also know about Comet and Zhao Rongzhen.

Zhang Wei looked at Han Qing nervously, wondering whether he would cover up Zhao Rongzhen or hand him over.

"Rongzhen..." Han Qing lowered his head and frowned, not daring to look at Father Zhao's expectant eyes, "Not in the palace..."

Unsurprisingly, when Han Qing raised his head, he saw Father Zhao's disappointed expression.

Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief for a while.

"Master Zhao, otherwise I'll send soldiers to help you find it. It might be faster than you can find it by yourself..." In order to comfort Father Zhao, Han Qing could only come up with a solution that was not a solution at all, but Father Zhao shook his head.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness. This old man is very grateful. Since he was a child, Rong really didn't like to listen to our nagging, and this marriage was not what he wanted. He has been obedient to the marriage in the past month, and even helped out with ideas. I I just find it strange, although I didn't expect to escape yesterday, but it's understandable, let him go, although the face of the Zhao family has been lost in court, I hope the emperor still values ​​him as before, he is leading troops to fight I believe he will come back in the near future, and when time passes and everyone forgets about this marriage, it may be better." Father Zhao said deeply. Sighing, "Let's go." Father Zhao turned around and waved to Zhang Wei.

"Master Zhao..." Han Qing wanted to call Father Zhao in a low voice, but he didn't know what else to say. Father Zhao didn't know if he heard it, but he didn't look back. He kept looking back at Han Qing, but Han Qing didn't say anything, just made a "don't worry" mouth.

Han Qing returned to the back hall and saw that Meng Qinghuan had disappeared. The maid said that Meng Qinghuan had left a message, saying that Zhao's father had come, afraid that they would find the Ming and Qing Palace again, so she slipped out through the back door to report to Comet, so that Comet would be happy. prepare.

Han Qing let out a long breath.

Those who should know the truth have left, but those who shouldn't know the truth have.

Is this the "fate" Meng Qinghuan mentioned?

When Meng Qinghuan rushed to the Ming and Qing Palaces and told Comet that Zhao Rongzhen was not married and knelt in the Hezheng Palace all night and was now unconscious Meng Qinghuan rushed to the Hezheng Palace, only had a quick face-to-face with Han Qing, then went to Han Qing's bedroom, and saw Zhao Rongzhen who was sleeping with a pale face.

When he saw Zhao Rongzhen, Comet's legs went limp, and he sat down on the edge of the bed. Zhao Rongzhen's red and swollen knees were covered with a hot towel, while his forehead was covered with a cold towel. What is this state called "Fire and Ice"? Will it appear on the same person at the same time?The lips that always promised him were not pale and chapped due to the high fever, his eyes were closed tightly, and his brows were squeezed into a "Chuan character".

Before Comet's tears fell, Meng Qinghuan dismissed the maids in the house, leaving only Comet and Zhao Rongzhen. Meng Qinghuan leaned into Comet's ear and told him to help Zhao Rongzhen change the towels on his forehead and knees. After seeing the comet nodding, he also left.

Meng Qinghuan and Han Qing looked at the two thin people in the room for a while, then closed the door gently.

"Your Majesty, just give them a while, okay?"

The two stood outside the door. Meng Qinghuan looked at Han Qing with a pleading look. Han Qing lowered his head and sighed softly.

"Master Zhao came here just now, you know, I told him...Rongzhen is not in the palace." After finishing speaking, Han Qing turned and walked to the study room. Meng Qinghuan was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning behind Han Qing's words, comfortable A smile also climbed to the corner of Meng Qinghuan's mouth...
