male queen rampage
Chapter 24
go.
At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed his arm.
Shen Lixin was startled, and turned her head quickly, only to find that the man in white who was inside ran behind her at some point, looking at her with an innocent expression that didn't match her age.Something wrapped in kraft paper was stuffed in his hand.
Wang Fu, who was following behind, hurried forward to separate the two, but was stopped by Shen Lixin.
Shen Lixin heard the man in white say to himself: "One pair a day, seven days will be enough. Hehehe...you can thank me!"
Wang Fu said: "Bold!"
Shen Lixin twitched the corners of her mouth: "It's okay." After speaking, he scooped up the package of medicine, turned and walked out of the door.
This package of medicine was not directly put into the pot, but after careful identification and even trial by the imperial physicians, they unanimously decided that it was harmless, and then ordered people to decoct the medicine.
So the first dose of medicine was forcibly poured into Lin Yi's stomach while Lin Yi was half asleep and half awake, under the command of the impatient Emperor himself, and Li Xiaozhong personally executed it.
40 stiff neck
Lin Yi fell asleep for a long time, and it was already the next morning when he woke up.
Dimly, he felt that his consciousness was withdrawn from the dream, and his limbs regained feeling. However, he felt comfortable all over this day somehow, so he turned over lazily before opening his eyes.
Opening his eyes, he was confronted with a magnified face of the emperor.
He was shocked at first, but suddenly found that the other party seemed to be asleep, and he was not lying on the bed, but sitting on the edge of the bed, hunched over the edge of the bed, with his head tilted to one side supported by his arms, removing the emperor's hood while sleeping. Majestic, showing a trace of innocence.It's a pity that Lin Yi didn't see that trace of innocence, he just felt that the emperor sleeping beside his bed was extremely funny.
So he didn't control his mouth, and burst out laughing.
The emperor lying on the bed woke up with a soft smile, Lin Yi saw the other party quickly opened his eyes, the haze in his eyes changed to firmness and seriousness for less than half a second, and then those eyes fell on him, overflowing with a little tenderness.
"Are you awake?!" said the emperor.
Lin Yi was huddling under the quilt and scolding himself for not being able to control his mouth. Hearing the emperor's words at this time, he felt even more uneasy.
It was dark in front of his eyes, Lin Yi quickly closed his eyes, and the next moment, a pair of thin callused hands gently covered his forehead.
"..." Lin Yi opened his eyes in great confusion.
The emperor turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, carefully wrapped him in the quilt, picked him up, and hugged him tightly in his arms.Lin Yi was wrapped up like a silkworm chrysalis, and he had no right to resist at first, so he was at the mercy of that person.
However, the emperor just hugged him like this, without saying a word for a long time.Lin Yi was nervous and sweated all over his body.
This scene was watched by the emperor indifferently. The young man lowered his eyes, his pale cheeks were slightly pink, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly with his breathing like a small fan. Although he still looked weak The appearance is slightly more popular than before.
It was as if a little person was cheering and dancing in his heart. He tried hard to calm down but found that his body couldn't help shaking.
He hugged the boy like this for a long time, until beads of sweat leaked from the tip of the boy's delicate nose in his vision, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned because of discomfort.He held the boy's shoulders so that they faced him.The moment the four eyes met, those beautiful eyes looked away slightly, and turned into a slightly shy expression.
Shen Lixin was delighted to see it, and couldn't help but reach out to wipe off the sweat from the tip of the young man's nose, and asked carefully with his softest voice: "How do you feel now?"
Since Lin Yi fell ill, he has been asleep for three-quarters of the time every day, so he didn't notice what happened last night at all.Seeing the emperor looking at him nervously at this moment, he thought suspiciously for a moment, but couldn't figure it out.At this time, he was wrapped in a quilt and held in the arms of the emperor. He felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not because of his body. He moved his body a little, and it wasn't like before that he couldn't use his strength. On the contrary, he felt a kind of strength in his body. Slow flow, which he credits to a good night's sleep.So he turned his thinking point to other directions, rolled his eyes, smacked his lips again, and thought about his words: "It seems... feels like my mouth is a bit bitter..."
The emperor showed a clear smile, but he was still gentle and outrageous.
"Want some candy?"
Lin Yi rolled his eyes again: "...just the sweet-scented osmanthus candy from last time, I think it's quite delicious."
The emperor finally graciously released Lin Yi, but he didn't just throw it away. After the palace servants brought the newly prepared honey, he gently helped Lin Yi to sit on the bed and stuffed a soft cushion behind Lin Yi with his own hands. .
A piece of sweet-scented osmanthus candy suddenly awakened the long-sleeping hunger.He hadn't had any appetite some time ago, and when he was awake, he drank the dark soup all night, which took up most of the space in his stomach, and there was no room for other food at all.At this time, he clearly felt the emptiness in his stomach. The piece of honey seemed to have entered into another space in his stomach, which made him feel empty and at the same time evoked a trace of longing.
Lin Yi looked at the emperor with some embarrassment, and the emperor also stared at him intently.He swallowed his saliva, and showed a silly smile to the other party: "I... I'm a little hungry..."
This sentence made Shen Lixin very happy. He tried his best to make his expression look calm, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was trembling.
"Okay...okay...what do you want to eat? I asked someone to do it!"
Tang Zi was abruptly stopped outside the bedroom of Qionghua Palace that day. He sat on the marble railing in the corner with his chin in his hand, watching those imperial physicians and palace personnel busily coming in and out.
He trusted the master's medical skills. Back then, the master rescued him who was about to die, and adopted him under his family.Over the years, the master has gradually become delirious, and his attitude towards himself has become worse and worse, but his medical skills are improving with each passing day. You never know when he disappears and reappears before your eyes, and then there will be another "White Doctor" on the rivers and lakes. legend.
The medicine yesterday must have made the boy's illness a lot better, right?
I was a little worried, so I came to the place where the man lived early, but I never thought that I would be turned away.
Perhaps the emperor crossed the river and demolished the bridge when he saw the boy's condition improved?really...
Thinking of this, Tang Zi couldn't help laughing at himself.
It's useless to complain by yourself, that person is the emperor's favorite, and only the emperor can give him a life of luxury, food, supremacy, and even a chance to live again.
Because that man was the emperor, King Qi was defeated.
And myself...just as insignificant as an ant, let alone be in the eyes of that person.
"Ah--!" Tang Zi patted his cheeks a little irritably, pulling the corners of his mouth to restore his stiff cheeks to their original appearance.Turning around, lying on the white jade fence, waving his hands and shouting to the maid in the plum grove below: "Sister Liuxia--"
The next moment, an embroidered shoe hit Tang Zi's handsome face heavily, and before he reached out to grab it, it fell out of the railing again.
Liuxia carried a bamboo basket full of plum blossoms in her hand, and limped to the wall to pick her shoes.On top of her head, Tang Zi still yelled something at her unwaveringly, Liu Xia frowned, put on her shoes, turned and left without looking back.
A gust of wind blew by, and Tang Zi suddenly felt a little lonely.
When he returned to his and his master's residence, he happened to meet the eunuch who had come to deliver the decree.
The eunuch was the one who led him to see the queen at the beginning, and he was standing at the door, looking at him with a smile on his face.
Tang Zi put away his melancholy expression, and put on a smiling face to greet him: "Prince Wang! Why are you here?!"
Wang Fu smiled and patted Tang Zi on the shoulder: "Doctor Tang and Doctor Bai have made great contributions, and the emperor said that there will be rewards?"
Tang Zi's face darkened, but he still smiled: "Thank you, Lord Long En."
"What does Doctor Tang want? The emperor said that it is not impossible to be promoted to a noble. I heard that the Tang family in Wanzhou was once a famous family..."
Tang Zi waved his hand and said, "Tang Zi is just Tang Zi, I don't know what the Tang family in Wanzhou is."
"So...Doctor Tang wants money...?"
"Little man... haven't thought about it yet..."
Wang Fu smiled and said patiently: "It's okay, Doctor Tang can think about it for a few more days. Although the master's condition has improved a little, there will still be more times when Doctor Tang is needed to come forward!"
Tang Zi nodded in agreement, and sent off the chief executive with a smile.Turning around, sighed, and looked a little lonely again.
At this time, Bai Tingyun ran out of the back room with a few small porcelain bottles in his arms, pulled Tang Zi's sleeves and rushed out.
Tang Zi was dragged to one side, so she quickly stood still and angrily dragged back to Bai Tingyun: "Master...what are you doing?!"
Bai Tingyun looked at Tang Zi excitedly: "My dear student, take me to see that sick kid as a teacher!"
"what?!"
"The master has formulated several prescriptions, and he will try them out!"
"...Master," Tang Zi wanted to cry but had no tears, "you just need to cure him, don't try medicine!"
Bai Tingyun stood in front of Tang Zi with a bunch of bottles in his arms, tilted his head, his expression looked innocent and naive.
"He has eaten at least five precious blood ganoderma, and his physique must be different from ordinary people. As a teacher with such a good medicinal material, he must try these prescriptions of mine! Let's go, Azi, as a teacher, I see that you have a good relationship with that kid , take me there! Don't worry, my teacher won't kill him!"
"..."
At this moment, Li Xiaozhong stepped in: "Doctor Tang, Doctor Bai, my master is here to invite you."
Tang Zi didn't move at all, but Bai Tingyun clapped his hands and walked over enthusiastically.
"Great! Let's go!" Bai Tingyun urged.
Tang Zi came back to his senses, walked over quickly to stand between his master and the little eunuch, and then said to the little eunuch, "Your majesty is gone?"
Li Xiaozhong nodded: "Yes, the emperor has gone to Qingxiao Palace, our master said it was boring, so I would like to invite Doctor Tang and Divine Doctor Bai to talk for a while."
Tang Zi looked at the round-faced little eunuch very tangled for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, but he kept all the medicine bottles that Bai Tingyun was holding in his residence.
Tang Zi and Bai Tingyun followed Li Xiaozhong into the bedroom, Lin Yi was leaning on the bed and waiting for them.
At this time, Tang Zi's state of mind was quite different from before, but he subconsciously hinted stubbornly that his thinking was wrong, so in order to cover up his mood, he deliberately made himself behave as usual, but the result was counterproductive. I found that my walking posture was too stiff, and the expression on my face was also very unnatural.
Lin Yi looked at Tang Zi strangely, tilted his head and said: "
What’s wrong with you? "
Tang Zi raised his head, glanced at Lin Yi hastily, then lowered his eyes again: "It's nothing...Actually, I...have a stiff neck!"
41 playing chess
Tang Zi said: "I fell into a stiff neck!"
Lin Yi believed it was true, and stretched out his hand to greet him: "Come on, let me rub it for you."
Tang Zi, who was walking towards Lin Yi, stopped suddenly, with a strange blush on his cheeks.
No one spoke at that moment, and the atmosphere was a bit weird, but it didn't last long.Bai Tingyun walked up to Lin Yi as if he hadn't noticed his apprentice's tricks at all, squinted his eyes and smiled, "How is it? Will my medicine work?"
Lin Yi turned to Bai Tingyun, nodded earnestly and said, "I said why I feel so much lighter today. It turns out that Bai's medicine has taken effect."
After being fed a whole bowl of porridge by the emperor himself, he finally couldn't help asking out his doubts, and found out that he had taken the medicine given by Doctor Bai while he was sleeping soundly last night.The feeling of being overly concerned by that person is very complicated, Lin Yi's mind was in a mess, and then he simply didn't think about it, and accepted what that person did to him with the cheek.After sending the emperor away, Lin Yi regained his composure, but suddenly fell into an inexplicable upset, so he called Tang Zi and Bai Tingyun to talk with him to distract his attention.
At this time, Bai Tingyun was praised by Lin Yi, and he smiled smugly, like a child who was praised by an adult.
Lin Yi continued: "Thank you."
Bai Tingyun said: "You are A Zi's friend, you don't need to thank me. As long as you can do me a little favor..."
"What is it? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help!"
Bai Tingyun rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly: "It's a small matter..."
"Wait a minute..." Tang Zi came back to his senses, pushed his master aside, and sat down beside the bed.
"It's nothing, don't listen to him!" Tang Zi said.
Bai Tingyun stomped his feet: "You unfilial disciple!"
Tang Zi stopped talking to his master, but pulled Lin Yi's wrist to feel his pulse. The pulse was fairly stable, at least stronger than yesterday.While he breathed a sigh of relief, his attention involuntarily fell on the cool wrist in the palm of his hand.
This is the first time Tang Zi observes the man's hand. It is as white as fine glazed porcelain, and it is too slender to grasp. Although the hand is small, the five fingers are beautiful and slender. It seems that it has been carefully carved. to the slightest blemish.
Tang Zi was so engrossed in watching it that he felt his palm empty in a trance, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the glazed white hand held in the palm had been pulled out by the owner, and at this time the owner of the hand was holding his arms, looking at it suspiciously. Own.
At this moment, he only wished to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, and being stared at by that person became a torment.
Lin Yi asked, "What happened to my hand?"
"...it's nothing..." Tang Zi answered bravely, swallowed his saliva, and suddenly felt an inexplicable heat rushing all over his body. He looked at Lin Yi, but glanced at the door next to him from the corner of his eye, ready to Run away at any time.
Lin Yi didn't notice Tang Zi's anxiety, but blinked his eyes and said, "I'm tired of lying down these days, and the weather is rare today, can you go out for a walk with me?"
"Huh?" Tang Zi didn't react.
Lin Yi looked at him: "Come out with me for a walk."
Tang Ziwei: "No way, you just got better, what should you do if you go out and get windy and get serious again?!"
Lin Yi tilted his head: "I can't... Besides, isn't there you?"
Seeing the boy's serious face, Tang Zi struggled for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay..."
Here Tang Zi sent his master back to dispense medicine to play, while Lin Yi called the palace servants to help him get dressed.
Standing on the ground still feeling weak under his feet, Lin Yi supported Li Xiaozhong's arm and gritted his teeth to stand still, but this action alone caused cold sweat all over his body.
Liuxia helped him comb a simple bun and tied it with a hosta.
Wan Shuang brought a goose yellow brocade robe to help him put it on.The winter coat is a bit heavy to wear, and the collar and cuffs are white plush, which feels good to the touch.
Wan Shuang scooped out the white fox fur again, but Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Don't want this one, it's too conspicuous." He could almost imagine how many people would look at him resentfully if he went out wearing the snow fox fur given by the emperor.
Then Night Frost dug out a dark brown cotton cloak with a large hood that was also trimmed with fluff.The cloak was on the body, and the hat was buttoned, most of the face was completely covered, only the pointed chin was exposed.Lin Yi couldn't see anything, so he tried to pull the hat off twice, but failed.
Seeing the boy's clumsy appearance, both Liu Xia and Wan Shuang couldn't help laughing out loud.
Tang Zi, who was waiting outside, poked his head into the screen curiously, just in time to see the boy wrapped in a cotton ball, he bent his lips, pretending to be impatient and said: "Isn't he alright?"
Lin Yi groped and walked towards Tang Zi: "Help me--"
Liu Xia and Wan Shuang still kept laughing, but they didn't help him take off their hats.
Lin Yi panicked and almost fell down.Tang Zi hurried over to help him, the boy's hat was lifted up, the weight of his whole body hung on his arm, and he raised his head to show Tang Zi a mouthful of small white teeth.
"Let's go!"
This was the first time Lin Yi went out since returning to the palace.
Since the empress insisted on using it, the traveling team seemed very large. In addition to Li Xiaozhong Liuxia Wanshuang who was serving by her side, there were also those who opened the way, those who carried cushions, those who brought melons and fruits, snacks and tea, those who carried charcoal braziers, and those who moved Chairs... At the end of Haohao Tangtang's team, someone carried an unmanned phoenix chariot to follow unhurriedly, and only waited for the empress to go back to the palace in a chariot when she was tired from shopping.
Lin Yi looked at the long line behind him and suddenly felt a headache.
"As for? I just want to go for a walk..."
Li Xiaozhong said: "Master's physical condition is no better than before, it's better to be careful."
After all, it was his own decision that embarrassed them... Lin Yi looked at Li Xiaozhong's serious expression with some aggrieved eyes, nodded speechlessly, and let it go.
A group of people followed the empress to the plum forest at a speed slower than a turtle.
It is now noon, the sun is shining brightly, and the plum blossoms in the forest are in full bloom. From a distance, they look like clusters of pale pink clouds, sometimes wafting a quiet and cold fragrance.
Lin Yi stopped and walked, already showing tiredness on his face, but still insisted that he was not tired and could still walk.Tang Zi saw it, but he didn't dare to dampen his interest, so he could only follow silently, occasionally helping Lin Yi when he was about to fall.
There is a small stream flowing through the plum grove. There are stone tables and benches beside the stream, and there are still things on it.
Lin Yi walked over curiously, and found that on the stone table was an unfinished set of Go.
Some courtiers had already laid soft cushions on the stone bench, and Lin Yi sat down at the table. Black and white were intertwined on the chessboard, but in his eyes it was a messy pile of black and white pieces.Because he doesn't understand Go at all.
Tang Zi also leaned over and looked down with his chin in his hand: "It's really fun, I don't know who is playing chess here..."
Lin Yi looked up at Tang Zi who was standing behind him: "It must be a concubine in the palace."
Tang Zi bypassed Lin Yi, walked to the other side of the table, and sat down.
"But having said that, this chess formation is very interesting." Tang Zi said, holding a sunspot with two fingers of his right hand, and filling it in an empty space.
Lin Yi smiled, picked up a white piece, and dropped it immediately.
Tang Zi frowned, but he didn't take his eyes off the chessboard for a moment: "Does the queen want to play a game with the villain?" He didn't know Go either.
"Since Doctor Tang wants to play, then I will compete with Doctor Tang."
The two randomly placed a few pieces on the chessboard, but they became more and more confused.It's not good to play chess, but the pace of pretending to be aggressive is the same.However, the result of pretending to be aggressive is...they ruined a game of chess that others did not finish.
After a while...
"Go is not fun at all, Doctor Tang, let's play backgammon..."
"Okay, since the queen has said so, the villain is worse than obeying orders..."
After another moment...
"Gobang is too boring, Doctor Tang, do you want to try my own 'Greedy Snake'?"
"OK……"
The palace people standing not far away watched silently. My master and Doctor Tang who came from the people were face to face. Pawns...
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the onlookers felt a lot of pressure.
Just then, the masters of Go came back.
Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Fan beside him, and Zhao Fan also looked at Xiao Ji.
It's just that I went shopping elsewhere for a while, but when I came back, I found that the place to play chess was occupied by someone else.
The young man was dressed in commoner clothes, and his eyes were very strange.But the boy in the brown cloak was too familiar.
Since the end of last year, there have been rumors in the palace that "the queen is seriously ill".At that time, there were not a few doubting voices, but no one saw the queen appearing in front of everyone, so everyone had to believe this fact.
At this moment, the young man was sitting there, his thin body was tightly wrapped in a thick cotton coat, his exposed cheeks were so white that there was no trace of blood, he did look thinner, but his eyes were full of radiance.
"Empress Wan'an." Xiao Ji and Zhao Fan walked over and bowed gracefully.
Lin Yi and Tang Zi came back to their senses from the pretentious black and white pieces, Lin Yi smiled and said: "It turns out that this chess set belongs to Xiao Chongshi and Zhao Jieyu... We messed it up..."
When the two saw the black and white pieces on the chessboard in a disorderly manner, Xiao Ji silently curled the corners of his lips, but Zhao Fan suppressed his laughter.
Xiao Jidao: "It's okay, anyway, Xiaochen and Zhao Jieyu will set up a new game."
Zhao Fan puffed his cheeks and nodded vigorously.
Lin Yi scratched his hair, raised his hand and said, "You guys are also welcome to come and sit together."
Xiao Ji and Zhao Fan sat down at the stone table, Tang Zi couldn't sit still, so he had to hide among the palace people in desperation.
Lin Yi gave up the chessboard to the two, and sat beside him.The two of them held their pieces again and started to play chess. The pieces fell one by one. Both of them were outstanding figures, even the way they played chess was very elegant.
42 rabbits
Lin Yi was engrossed in watching it, and couldn't help thinking about why there was such a wasteful identity as a male concubine in the palace.
Xiao Ji and Zhao Fan played chess for a while, but their attention never left the young man beside them.
The bystanders only saw three handsome men sitting around the stone table, who were very eye-catching, but they didn't know that the three men at the table were pregnant with different children.
Seeing that the white stones held by Xiao Ji accounted for most of the country, Zhao Fan pushed the chess with his temper and complained: "I can't play anymore, I will definitely not be able to beat Xiao Chongshi."
Xiao Ji's expression was indifferent, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, but he looked calm and composed: "The outcome is not yet decided, and no one knows what the result will be."
Zhao Fan's cheeks puffed up: "I won't play anymore..." Then he turned to Lin Yi beside him: "If we continue to play, the queen will be neglected..."
Xiao Ji nodded, stood up and said: "If the empress doesn't mind, how about going to sit in the courtier's residence?"
There is also a reason why Xiao Ji and Zhao Fan are usually a pair.Xiao Ji, as a servant of the second rank, was given to live in the Jiuhua Palace, while Zhao Fan, a Jieyu of the third rank, did not have his own palace, and because of the difference between men and women, he could only live in Tingxue Pavilion, a side hall of the Jiuhua Palace.The only two concubines in the palace got together in this way, eating and living together every day, and gradually developed a "pure" revolutionary friendship, so that they are still inseparable.
Lin Yi thought to himself that he seldom went to Jiuhua Palace before. Firstly, he thought male concubines were awkward, and secondly, Xiao Ji and Zhao Fan never took the initiative to show their affection. Now that they invited him, it would be too unreasonable not to go.
--Besides, he is quite curious.
Poor Tang Zi became a passerby in this way, hiding in the palace team with aggrieved face and followed the three "mothers" to Jiuhua Palace.
The incense in the Jiuhua Palace was lit, and Tang Zi paid a little attention when he entered the door. The incense was somewhat similar to the aroma he smelled when he entered the Qionghua Palace for the first time. It was slightly sweet and not greasy. But it can make people indulge in it unknowingly, and the mood becomes calm.
Lin Yi sat in the first seat, and soon a little eunuch brought hot tea.It's been a long time outside, and even though I wear a lot, it's still a bit chilly.At this time, Lin Yi held the teacup in his hands, and the fragrance of tea mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers rushed into his nostrils.
He sniffed vigorously, looked up at the two people sitting down: "What kind of tea is this?"
Zhao Fan proudly said: "The empress came at the right time today. This tea was picked by Xiao Chong himself, and it was paired with the petals of Impatiens. It is the only place in the whole palace."
Lin Yi was surprised and said: "I didn't even know that impatiens can be made into tea!" He picked up the tea bowl and took two sips, but put down the tea bowl with a frown: "But I'm not used to this taste."
Zhao Fan looked at Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji smiled and said nothing, Zhao Fan raised his eyebrows, then turned back and said: "Since the queen is not used to drinking, I asked someone to make other tea..."
Lin Yi shook his head, and took a few more sips: "Don't bother, it's not hard to swallow."
The three chatted about other things, and Lin Yi gradually lost his energy, so he got up to leave.
When he walked out of the palace gate, Tang Zi came up to meet him, looked at him carefully with both surprise and joy, and sighed for a long time: "You have stayed in the palace for so long, and you have no defense at all. You are not as good as an outsider like me."
Lin Yi was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
Seeing that the queen's attendants were all around, Tang Zi hooked Lin Yi's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Don't you think that... Xiao Chong looks at you strangely? That Zhao Jieyu seems very I despise the way you look!"
"...Really..." Lin Yi pretended to be surprised and looked at Tang Zi.
Tang Zi nodded seriously: "You are really...they will drink anything for you, and you are not afraid of them tampering with the tea."
Lin Yi coughed lightly, and leaned on Tang Zi's body.Tang Zi was taken aback, and quickly stretched out his hands to help him. He lowered his head and saw the young man's back pressed against him limply, as if he would faint at any moment. His heart tightened, and he said cautiously, "Go back?"
"Hmm..." The young man in his arms nodded obediently, followed Tang Zi's support onto the chariot, and was carried all the way back to Qionghua Palace.
On the other side of the Jiuhua Palace, Xiao Ji and Zhao Fan sat back to their original seats, sipping tea slowly.
Zhao Fan said: "Xiao Chongshi, your Fengxian tea is really bad."
Xiao Jidao: "I also made it casually. The queen came to the palace today, thinking that the flower name of the phoenix fairy matches the queen, so I scooped it out for the queen to taste."
Zhao Fan chuckled: "In the final analysis, he is just a sick child. How many years he can live is still a problem. If it wasn't for King Zhenbei, would he be able to sit where he is now?"
Xiao Jidao: "Your temperament of daring to say anything needs to be changed. Be careful that walls have ears."
"If I can change it, I won't be Zhao Fan anymore."
"When the time comes, you will get into trouble, don't expect me to save you."
Zhao Fan smiled and took Xiao Ji's arm: "You won't."
Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at him with great interest: "I want to live a few more years, and I don't want to take care of you, a reckless brat."
Zhao Fan said: "Why didn't you add something to the tea before? He has no defense at all. When I think of this kind of person pressing on my head, I feel uncomfortable all over."
Xiao Jidao: "Take it easy, don't forget that he is the queen, no matter how bad he is, the emperor will support him."
Zhao Fan snorted coldly: "I knew..."
Lin Yi was almost half hugged and half supported back to the bedroom.
He leaned against the brocade couch without strength, not wanting to move, and let the palace people help him take off his cloak.
Sitting beside him, Tang Zi looked at him worriedly and said, "I told you to be brave!"
Lin Yi lazily opened his eyes: "There is no harm in walking more."
Tang Zi snorted coldly: "That depends on the circumstances!"
"Actually," Lin Yi said, "I have long since discovered that their attitude towards me is a bit...strange."
Tang Zi sighed: "Oh, hey, sooner or later they will eat up such a meek temper like you." Recalling the dark side of the harem that the old Princess Qi once told, look at the dusty young man in front of him , I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"After a few years, will the emperor still treat you so well?"
Lin Yi looked at Tang Zi with some amusement: "How do I know?"
"Really...why did you enter the palace in the first place?"
Lin Yi said, "How do I know?"
Tang Zi stared at him, but after a while he was discouraged, shook his head and stopped talking.
Liu Xia brought snacks and tea, Tang Zi bluntly filled his mouth with pastries and chewed vigorously, as if he was very hungry.
Lin Yi, who had been lying silent all this time, suddenly said, "If you were a wounded rabbit and met a hungry wolf, what would you do?"
Tang Zi replied casually: "What else can I do? Wait for death!"
Lin Yi said: "Not necessarily. Knowing that struggling is useless, but you still have to bite the bullet and run away, you will only die worse. There is only a glimmer of hope for life, but you have to try anyway, but you have to wait until the wolf The moment when it is about to pounce on it and prepare to eat it."
Tang Zi was taken aback, then turned to look at Lin Yi, only to find that the young man was leaning on the cushion with his eyes closed, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he was smiling a little strangely.
"You..." He suddenly understood something.
The boy yawned and curled up into a small ball on the couch: "It's too easy to die, I've already died once, this time I can't sit still and wait for death no matter what."
The man seemed to be asleep, Tang Zi carefully carried him to the bed, and quietly left the bedroom.
From a distance, Li Xiaozhong, the Chief Eunuch of Qionghua Palace, was talking to a little maid kneeling on the ground at the entrance of the main hall.In Tang Zi's impression, Li Xiaozhong is a good-tempered person, always smiling with squinted eyes, and very easy to get along with.But at this time, Li Xiaozhong was standing at the door with a serious look, and he lowered his voice to scold the little maid who was kneeling on the ground.
Tang Zi was a little curious, so he walked over unsteadily, and as the distance got closer, the conversation between the two floated into his ears.
"...No, is the queen's master something you can meet whenever you want?!"
"Eunuch, please!"
"Our master is not in good health, we have already rested, come back tomorrow! Don't block here, hindering people from entering and exiting!"
"...I'm really in a hurry! Our master just wants to see the queen... If it's too late, it's too late!"
Tang Zi walked behind Li Xiaozhong: "What's going on?"
The little maid was crying, seeing another person came, she didn't care who that person was, she just kowtowed and said: "My lord, I beg you... let the servants see the queen..."
"what happened?"
"Yes...it's Mrs. Zhang Zhaoyi...she's dying! I want to see the queen for the last time!"
"What did you say--?!"
Tang Zi turned around with a smirk, and saw Lin Yi standing behind him with the support of Wan Shuang, with a serious expression on his face.
The little palace maid looked at Lin Yi happily: "Empress...Empress... Please save our Lady Zhaoyi...She is in Weiyang Palace...now she is seriously ill...I want to see the queen for the last time..."
Lin Yi almost forgot that there was such a person in the palace. Ever since Zhang Zhaoyi was forced to accuse him by the imperial concubine that day, Lin Yi had a little resistance to this Zhang Wanyu girl.Later, it was heard that the Zhang family fell, and Zhang Zhaoyi also disappeared in the harem. Few people took the initiative to mention Zhang Zhaoyi, who was once the head of the nine concubines, and Lin Yi was no exception.But they didn't expect that she was still alive and was imprisoned in the cold palace by the emperor.
Tang Zi walked up to Lin Yi, jokingly said, "Miss Zhaoyi...? Is it your old friend?"
Lin Yi smiled at Tang Zi: "That's right...Doctor Tang, can you invite Doctor Bai? Come with me to Weiyang Palace."
43 Wan Yu
Weiyang Palace used to be the residence of the queen of the former dynasty. After the Zhou Dynasty emperor took over the world, he rebuilt the former palace as his residence. When the craftsmen repaired Weiyang Palace, various accidents happened frequently. The project has not been able to proceed. The ghost of a certain queen who died unjustly made troubles, and designated Weiyang Palace as her territory, and no one was allowed to approach it.Later Taizu decreed that the craftsmen were withdrawn, and Weiyang Palace was preserved as it was in the previous dynasty. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, it has now become the most mysterious place deep in the palace.
Concubines who made mistakes will be sent to Weiyang Palace, but only a few can come out alive.
Weiyang Palace is actually a cold palace.
Lin Yi sat on the chariot and listened to the introduction from Li Xiaozhong who was walking beside him.
"Aside from Zhang Zhaoyi, are there any other concubines there?"
Li Xiaozhong said: "Master, there are still some concubines and nobles who were sent in when the first emperor. I heard that there are dead people going out there every day..." Carefully watching the reaction of the young man sitting on the seat, the young man's whole body was buried in the ground In the seat, only a pale little face was exposed, with beautiful eyes half-down, looking thoughtful.
When the chariot entered the gate of Weiyang Palace, a decadent and desolate atmosphere rushed over.There are dead trees with slanted branches everywhere, and the houses have become mottled and broken due to years of disrepair. From the incomplete decorations of beasts on the eaves, we can vaguely see the splendor and exquisiteness of Weiyang Palace in the past.
The walking chariot was led by the little maid before to the door of a dilapidated palace. The little maid pushed open the incomplete palace door, and then bowed and knelt down solemnly.
Lin Yi was supported by Li Xiaozhong and walked out of the carriage. He turned around and greeted Tang Zi and Bai Tingyun who were following behind the team.Tang Zi dragged Bai Tingyun, who was looking around with a surprised face, through the palace people and came to Lin Yi. Doctor Bai writhed restlessly in his hands and tried to break free, Tang Zi couldn't help pulling hard.
Bai Tingyun staggered back two steps, accidentally tripped over the rotten threshold, the threshold was severely damaged and shattered into pieces, Bai Tingyun lost his balance and fell heavily on the ground, screaming and rolling.
Bai Tingyun's behavior amused the surrounding palace people, and the serious atmosphere was broken for a while, and became much more relaxed.
The only one who didn't smile was the little maid next to Zhang Zhaoyi, named Xiaotao.She was a maid brought by Zhang Wanyu from her natal family when she entered the palace. She grew up with Miss Zhang's family since she was a child, and she has a deep relationship with her.Now that Maggie Cheung is in trouble, her
At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed his arm.
Shen Lixin was startled, and turned her head quickly, only to find that the man in white who was inside ran behind her at some point, looking at her with an innocent expression that didn't match her age.Something wrapped in kraft paper was stuffed in his hand.
Wang Fu, who was following behind, hurried forward to separate the two, but was stopped by Shen Lixin.
Shen Lixin heard the man in white say to himself: "One pair a day, seven days will be enough. Hehehe...you can thank me!"
Wang Fu said: "Bold!"
Shen Lixin twitched the corners of her mouth: "It's okay." After speaking, he scooped up the package of medicine, turned and walked out of the door.
This package of medicine was not directly put into the pot, but after careful identification and even trial by the imperial physicians, they unanimously decided that it was harmless, and then ordered people to decoct the medicine.
So the first dose of medicine was forcibly poured into Lin Yi's stomach while Lin Yi was half asleep and half awake, under the command of the impatient Emperor himself, and Li Xiaozhong personally executed it.
40 stiff neck
Lin Yi fell asleep for a long time, and it was already the next morning when he woke up.
Dimly, he felt that his consciousness was withdrawn from the dream, and his limbs regained feeling. However, he felt comfortable all over this day somehow, so he turned over lazily before opening his eyes.
Opening his eyes, he was confronted with a magnified face of the emperor.
He was shocked at first, but suddenly found that the other party seemed to be asleep, and he was not lying on the bed, but sitting on the edge of the bed, hunched over the edge of the bed, with his head tilted to one side supported by his arms, removing the emperor's hood while sleeping. Majestic, showing a trace of innocence.It's a pity that Lin Yi didn't see that trace of innocence, he just felt that the emperor sleeping beside his bed was extremely funny.
So he didn't control his mouth, and burst out laughing.
The emperor lying on the bed woke up with a soft smile, Lin Yi saw the other party quickly opened his eyes, the haze in his eyes changed to firmness and seriousness for less than half a second, and then those eyes fell on him, overflowing with a little tenderness.
"Are you awake?!" said the emperor.
Lin Yi was huddling under the quilt and scolding himself for not being able to control his mouth. Hearing the emperor's words at this time, he felt even more uneasy.
It was dark in front of his eyes, Lin Yi quickly closed his eyes, and the next moment, a pair of thin callused hands gently covered his forehead.
"..." Lin Yi opened his eyes in great confusion.
The emperor turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, carefully wrapped him in the quilt, picked him up, and hugged him tightly in his arms.Lin Yi was wrapped up like a silkworm chrysalis, and he had no right to resist at first, so he was at the mercy of that person.
However, the emperor just hugged him like this, without saying a word for a long time.Lin Yi was nervous and sweated all over his body.
This scene was watched by the emperor indifferently. The young man lowered his eyes, his pale cheeks were slightly pink, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly with his breathing like a small fan. Although he still looked weak The appearance is slightly more popular than before.
It was as if a little person was cheering and dancing in his heart. He tried hard to calm down but found that his body couldn't help shaking.
He hugged the boy like this for a long time, until beads of sweat leaked from the tip of the boy's delicate nose in his vision, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned because of discomfort.He held the boy's shoulders so that they faced him.The moment the four eyes met, those beautiful eyes looked away slightly, and turned into a slightly shy expression.
Shen Lixin was delighted to see it, and couldn't help but reach out to wipe off the sweat from the tip of the young man's nose, and asked carefully with his softest voice: "How do you feel now?"
Since Lin Yi fell ill, he has been asleep for three-quarters of the time every day, so he didn't notice what happened last night at all.Seeing the emperor looking at him nervously at this moment, he thought suspiciously for a moment, but couldn't figure it out.At this time, he was wrapped in a quilt and held in the arms of the emperor. He felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not because of his body. He moved his body a little, and it wasn't like before that he couldn't use his strength. On the contrary, he felt a kind of strength in his body. Slow flow, which he credits to a good night's sleep.So he turned his thinking point to other directions, rolled his eyes, smacked his lips again, and thought about his words: "It seems... feels like my mouth is a bit bitter..."
The emperor showed a clear smile, but he was still gentle and outrageous.
"Want some candy?"
Lin Yi rolled his eyes again: "...just the sweet-scented osmanthus candy from last time, I think it's quite delicious."
The emperor finally graciously released Lin Yi, but he didn't just throw it away. After the palace servants brought the newly prepared honey, he gently helped Lin Yi to sit on the bed and stuffed a soft cushion behind Lin Yi with his own hands. .
A piece of sweet-scented osmanthus candy suddenly awakened the long-sleeping hunger.He hadn't had any appetite some time ago, and when he was awake, he drank the dark soup all night, which took up most of the space in his stomach, and there was no room for other food at all.At this time, he clearly felt the emptiness in his stomach. The piece of honey seemed to have entered into another space in his stomach, which made him feel empty and at the same time evoked a trace of longing.
Lin Yi looked at the emperor with some embarrassment, and the emperor also stared at him intently.He swallowed his saliva, and showed a silly smile to the other party: "I... I'm a little hungry..."
This sentence made Shen Lixin very happy. He tried his best to make his expression look calm, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was trembling.
"Okay...okay...what do you want to eat? I asked someone to do it!"
Tang Zi was abruptly stopped outside the bedroom of Qionghua Palace that day. He sat on the marble railing in the corner with his chin in his hand, watching those imperial physicians and palace personnel busily coming in and out.
He trusted the master's medical skills. Back then, the master rescued him who was about to die, and adopted him under his family.Over the years, the master has gradually become delirious, and his attitude towards himself has become worse and worse, but his medical skills are improving with each passing day. You never know when he disappears and reappears before your eyes, and then there will be another "White Doctor" on the rivers and lakes. legend.
The medicine yesterday must have made the boy's illness a lot better, right?
I was a little worried, so I came to the place where the man lived early, but I never thought that I would be turned away.
Perhaps the emperor crossed the river and demolished the bridge when he saw the boy's condition improved?really...
Thinking of this, Tang Zi couldn't help laughing at himself.
It's useless to complain by yourself, that person is the emperor's favorite, and only the emperor can give him a life of luxury, food, supremacy, and even a chance to live again.
Because that man was the emperor, King Qi was defeated.
And myself...just as insignificant as an ant, let alone be in the eyes of that person.
"Ah--!" Tang Zi patted his cheeks a little irritably, pulling the corners of his mouth to restore his stiff cheeks to their original appearance.Turning around, lying on the white jade fence, waving his hands and shouting to the maid in the plum grove below: "Sister Liuxia--"
The next moment, an embroidered shoe hit Tang Zi's handsome face heavily, and before he reached out to grab it, it fell out of the railing again.
Liuxia carried a bamboo basket full of plum blossoms in her hand, and limped to the wall to pick her shoes.On top of her head, Tang Zi still yelled something at her unwaveringly, Liu Xia frowned, put on her shoes, turned and left without looking back.
A gust of wind blew by, and Tang Zi suddenly felt a little lonely.
When he returned to his and his master's residence, he happened to meet the eunuch who had come to deliver the decree.
The eunuch was the one who led him to see the queen at the beginning, and he was standing at the door, looking at him with a smile on his face.
Tang Zi put away his melancholy expression, and put on a smiling face to greet him: "Prince Wang! Why are you here?!"
Wang Fu smiled and patted Tang Zi on the shoulder: "Doctor Tang and Doctor Bai have made great contributions, and the emperor said that there will be rewards?"
Tang Zi's face darkened, but he still smiled: "Thank you, Lord Long En."
"What does Doctor Tang want? The emperor said that it is not impossible to be promoted to a noble. I heard that the Tang family in Wanzhou was once a famous family..."
Tang Zi waved his hand and said, "Tang Zi is just Tang Zi, I don't know what the Tang family in Wanzhou is."
"So...Doctor Tang wants money...?"
"Little man... haven't thought about it yet..."
Wang Fu smiled and said patiently: "It's okay, Doctor Tang can think about it for a few more days. Although the master's condition has improved a little, there will still be more times when Doctor Tang is needed to come forward!"
Tang Zi nodded in agreement, and sent off the chief executive with a smile.Turning around, sighed, and looked a little lonely again.
At this time, Bai Tingyun ran out of the back room with a few small porcelain bottles in his arms, pulled Tang Zi's sleeves and rushed out.
Tang Zi was dragged to one side, so she quickly stood still and angrily dragged back to Bai Tingyun: "Master...what are you doing?!"
Bai Tingyun looked at Tang Zi excitedly: "My dear student, take me to see that sick kid as a teacher!"
"what?!"
"The master has formulated several prescriptions, and he will try them out!"
"...Master," Tang Zi wanted to cry but had no tears, "you just need to cure him, don't try medicine!"
Bai Tingyun stood in front of Tang Zi with a bunch of bottles in his arms, tilted his head, his expression looked innocent and naive.
"He has eaten at least five precious blood ganoderma, and his physique must be different from ordinary people. As a teacher with such a good medicinal material, he must try these prescriptions of mine! Let's go, Azi, as a teacher, I see that you have a good relationship with that kid , take me there! Don't worry, my teacher won't kill him!"
"..."
At this moment, Li Xiaozhong stepped in: "Doctor Tang, Doctor Bai, my master is here to invite you."
Tang Zi didn't move at all, but Bai Tingyun clapped his hands and walked over enthusiastically.
"Great! Let's go!" Bai Tingyun urged.
Tang Zi came back to his senses, walked over quickly to stand between his master and the little eunuch, and then said to the little eunuch, "Your majesty is gone?"
Li Xiaozhong nodded: "Yes, the emperor has gone to Qingxiao Palace, our master said it was boring, so I would like to invite Doctor Tang and Divine Doctor Bai to talk for a while."
Tang Zi looked at the round-faced little eunuch very tangled for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, but he kept all the medicine bottles that Bai Tingyun was holding in his residence.
Tang Zi and Bai Tingyun followed Li Xiaozhong into the bedroom, Lin Yi was leaning on the bed and waiting for them.
At this time, Tang Zi's state of mind was quite different from before, but he subconsciously hinted stubbornly that his thinking was wrong, so in order to cover up his mood, he deliberately made himself behave as usual, but the result was counterproductive. I found that my walking posture was too stiff, and the expression on my face was also very unnatural.
Lin Yi looked at Tang Zi strangely, tilted his head and said: "
What’s wrong with you? "
Tang Zi raised his head, glanced at Lin Yi hastily, then lowered his eyes again: "It's nothing...Actually, I...have a stiff neck!"
41 playing chess
Tang Zi said: "I fell into a stiff neck!"
Lin Yi believed it was true, and stretched out his hand to greet him: "Come on, let me rub it for you."
Tang Zi, who was walking towards Lin Yi, stopped suddenly, with a strange blush on his cheeks.
No one spoke at that moment, and the atmosphere was a bit weird, but it didn't last long.Bai Tingyun walked up to Lin Yi as if he hadn't noticed his apprentice's tricks at all, squinted his eyes and smiled, "How is it? Will my medicine work?"
Lin Yi turned to Bai Tingyun, nodded earnestly and said, "I said why I feel so much lighter today. It turns out that Bai's medicine has taken effect."
After being fed a whole bowl of porridge by the emperor himself, he finally couldn't help asking out his doubts, and found out that he had taken the medicine given by Doctor Bai while he was sleeping soundly last night.The feeling of being overly concerned by that person is very complicated, Lin Yi's mind was in a mess, and then he simply didn't think about it, and accepted what that person did to him with the cheek.After sending the emperor away, Lin Yi regained his composure, but suddenly fell into an inexplicable upset, so he called Tang Zi and Bai Tingyun to talk with him to distract his attention.
At this time, Bai Tingyun was praised by Lin Yi, and he smiled smugly, like a child who was praised by an adult.
Lin Yi continued: "Thank you."
Bai Tingyun said: "You are A Zi's friend, you don't need to thank me. As long as you can do me a little favor..."
"What is it? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help!"
Bai Tingyun rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly: "It's a small matter..."
"Wait a minute..." Tang Zi came back to his senses, pushed his master aside, and sat down beside the bed.
"It's nothing, don't listen to him!" Tang Zi said.
Bai Tingyun stomped his feet: "You unfilial disciple!"
Tang Zi stopped talking to his master, but pulled Lin Yi's wrist to feel his pulse. The pulse was fairly stable, at least stronger than yesterday.While he breathed a sigh of relief, his attention involuntarily fell on the cool wrist in the palm of his hand.
This is the first time Tang Zi observes the man's hand. It is as white as fine glazed porcelain, and it is too slender to grasp. Although the hand is small, the five fingers are beautiful and slender. It seems that it has been carefully carved. to the slightest blemish.
Tang Zi was so engrossed in watching it that he felt his palm empty in a trance, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the glazed white hand held in the palm had been pulled out by the owner, and at this time the owner of the hand was holding his arms, looking at it suspiciously. Own.
At this moment, he only wished to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, and being stared at by that person became a torment.
Lin Yi asked, "What happened to my hand?"
"...it's nothing..." Tang Zi answered bravely, swallowed his saliva, and suddenly felt an inexplicable heat rushing all over his body. He looked at Lin Yi, but glanced at the door next to him from the corner of his eye, ready to Run away at any time.
Lin Yi didn't notice Tang Zi's anxiety, but blinked his eyes and said, "I'm tired of lying down these days, and the weather is rare today, can you go out for a walk with me?"
"Huh?" Tang Zi didn't react.
Lin Yi looked at him: "Come out with me for a walk."
Tang Ziwei: "No way, you just got better, what should you do if you go out and get windy and get serious again?!"
Lin Yi tilted his head: "I can't... Besides, isn't there you?"
Seeing the boy's serious face, Tang Zi struggled for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay..."
Here Tang Zi sent his master back to dispense medicine to play, while Lin Yi called the palace servants to help him get dressed.
Standing on the ground still feeling weak under his feet, Lin Yi supported Li Xiaozhong's arm and gritted his teeth to stand still, but this action alone caused cold sweat all over his body.
Liuxia helped him comb a simple bun and tied it with a hosta.
Wan Shuang brought a goose yellow brocade robe to help him put it on.The winter coat is a bit heavy to wear, and the collar and cuffs are white plush, which feels good to the touch.
Wan Shuang scooped out the white fox fur again, but Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Don't want this one, it's too conspicuous." He could almost imagine how many people would look at him resentfully if he went out wearing the snow fox fur given by the emperor.
Then Night Frost dug out a dark brown cotton cloak with a large hood that was also trimmed with fluff.The cloak was on the body, and the hat was buttoned, most of the face was completely covered, only the pointed chin was exposed.Lin Yi couldn't see anything, so he tried to pull the hat off twice, but failed.
Seeing the boy's clumsy appearance, both Liu Xia and Wan Shuang couldn't help laughing out loud.
Tang Zi, who was waiting outside, poked his head into the screen curiously, just in time to see the boy wrapped in a cotton ball, he bent his lips, pretending to be impatient and said: "Isn't he alright?"
Lin Yi groped and walked towards Tang Zi: "Help me--"
Liu Xia and Wan Shuang still kept laughing, but they didn't help him take off their hats.
Lin Yi panicked and almost fell down.Tang Zi hurried over to help him, the boy's hat was lifted up, the weight of his whole body hung on his arm, and he raised his head to show Tang Zi a mouthful of small white teeth.
"Let's go!"
This was the first time Lin Yi went out since returning to the palace.
Since the empress insisted on using it, the traveling team seemed very large. In addition to Li Xiaozhong Liuxia Wanshuang who was serving by her side, there were also those who opened the way, those who carried cushions, those who brought melons and fruits, snacks and tea, those who carried charcoal braziers, and those who moved Chairs... At the end of Haohao Tangtang's team, someone carried an unmanned phoenix chariot to follow unhurriedly, and only waited for the empress to go back to the palace in a chariot when she was tired from shopping.
Lin Yi looked at the long line behind him and suddenly felt a headache.
"As for? I just want to go for a walk..."
Li Xiaozhong said: "Master's physical condition is no better than before, it's better to be careful."
After all, it was his own decision that embarrassed them... Lin Yi looked at Li Xiaozhong's serious expression with some aggrieved eyes, nodded speechlessly, and let it go.
A group of people followed the empress to the plum forest at a speed slower than a turtle.
It is now noon, the sun is shining brightly, and the plum blossoms in the forest are in full bloom. From a distance, they look like clusters of pale pink clouds, sometimes wafting a quiet and cold fragrance.
Lin Yi stopped and walked, already showing tiredness on his face, but still insisted that he was not tired and could still walk.Tang Zi saw it, but he didn't dare to dampen his interest, so he could only follow silently, occasionally helping Lin Yi when he was about to fall.
There is a small stream flowing through the plum grove. There are stone tables and benches beside the stream, and there are still things on it.
Lin Yi walked over curiously, and found that on the stone table was an unfinished set of Go.
Some courtiers had already laid soft cushions on the stone bench, and Lin Yi sat down at the table. Black and white were intertwined on the chessboard, but in his eyes it was a messy pile of black and white pieces.Because he doesn't understand Go at all.
Tang Zi also leaned over and looked down with his chin in his hand: "It's really fun, I don't know who is playing chess here..."
Lin Yi looked up at Tang Zi who was standing behind him: "It must be a concubine in the palace."
Tang Zi bypassed Lin Yi, walked to the other side of the table, and sat down.
"But having said that, this chess formation is very interesting." Tang Zi said, holding a sunspot with two fingers of his right hand, and filling it in an empty space.
Lin Yi smiled, picked up a white piece, and dropped it immediately.
Tang Zi frowned, but he didn't take his eyes off the chessboard for a moment: "Does the queen want to play a game with the villain?" He didn't know Go either.
"Since Doctor Tang wants to play, then I will compete with Doctor Tang."
The two randomly placed a few pieces on the chessboard, but they became more and more confused.It's not good to play chess, but the pace of pretending to be aggressive is the same.However, the result of pretending to be aggressive is...they ruined a game of chess that others did not finish.
After a while...
"Go is not fun at all, Doctor Tang, let's play backgammon..."
"Okay, since the queen has said so, the villain is worse than obeying orders..."
After another moment...
"Gobang is too boring, Doctor Tang, do you want to try my own 'Greedy Snake'?"
"OK……"
The palace people standing not far away watched silently. My master and Doctor Tang who came from the people were face to face. Pawns...
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the onlookers felt a lot of pressure.
Just then, the masters of Go came back.
Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Fan beside him, and Zhao Fan also looked at Xiao Ji.
It's just that I went shopping elsewhere for a while, but when I came back, I found that the place to play chess was occupied by someone else.
The young man was dressed in commoner clothes, and his eyes were very strange.But the boy in the brown cloak was too familiar.
Since the end of last year, there have been rumors in the palace that "the queen is seriously ill".At that time, there were not a few doubting voices, but no one saw the queen appearing in front of everyone, so everyone had to believe this fact.
At this moment, the young man was sitting there, his thin body was tightly wrapped in a thick cotton coat, his exposed cheeks were so white that there was no trace of blood, he did look thinner, but his eyes were full of radiance.
"Empress Wan'an." Xiao Ji and Zhao Fan walked over and bowed gracefully.
Lin Yi and Tang Zi came back to their senses from the pretentious black and white pieces, Lin Yi smiled and said: "It turns out that this chess set belongs to Xiao Chongshi and Zhao Jieyu... We messed it up..."
When the two saw the black and white pieces on the chessboard in a disorderly manner, Xiao Ji silently curled the corners of his lips, but Zhao Fan suppressed his laughter.
Xiao Jidao: "It's okay, anyway, Xiaochen and Zhao Jieyu will set up a new game."
Zhao Fan puffed his cheeks and nodded vigorously.
Lin Yi scratched his hair, raised his hand and said, "You guys are also welcome to come and sit together."
Xiao Ji and Zhao Fan sat down at the stone table, Tang Zi couldn't sit still, so he had to hide among the palace people in desperation.
Lin Yi gave up the chessboard to the two, and sat beside him.The two of them held their pieces again and started to play chess. The pieces fell one by one. Both of them were outstanding figures, even the way they played chess was very elegant.
42 rabbits
Lin Yi was engrossed in watching it, and couldn't help thinking about why there was such a wasteful identity as a male concubine in the palace.
Xiao Ji and Zhao Fan played chess for a while, but their attention never left the young man beside them.
The bystanders only saw three handsome men sitting around the stone table, who were very eye-catching, but they didn't know that the three men at the table were pregnant with different children.
Seeing that the white stones held by Xiao Ji accounted for most of the country, Zhao Fan pushed the chess with his temper and complained: "I can't play anymore, I will definitely not be able to beat Xiao Chongshi."
Xiao Ji's expression was indifferent, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, but he looked calm and composed: "The outcome is not yet decided, and no one knows what the result will be."
Zhao Fan's cheeks puffed up: "I won't play anymore..." Then he turned to Lin Yi beside him: "If we continue to play, the queen will be neglected..."
Xiao Ji nodded, stood up and said: "If the empress doesn't mind, how about going to sit in the courtier's residence?"
There is also a reason why Xiao Ji and Zhao Fan are usually a pair.Xiao Ji, as a servant of the second rank, was given to live in the Jiuhua Palace, while Zhao Fan, a Jieyu of the third rank, did not have his own palace, and because of the difference between men and women, he could only live in Tingxue Pavilion, a side hall of the Jiuhua Palace.The only two concubines in the palace got together in this way, eating and living together every day, and gradually developed a "pure" revolutionary friendship, so that they are still inseparable.
Lin Yi thought to himself that he seldom went to Jiuhua Palace before. Firstly, he thought male concubines were awkward, and secondly, Xiao Ji and Zhao Fan never took the initiative to show their affection. Now that they invited him, it would be too unreasonable not to go.
--Besides, he is quite curious.
Poor Tang Zi became a passerby in this way, hiding in the palace team with aggrieved face and followed the three "mothers" to Jiuhua Palace.
The incense in the Jiuhua Palace was lit, and Tang Zi paid a little attention when he entered the door. The incense was somewhat similar to the aroma he smelled when he entered the Qionghua Palace for the first time. It was slightly sweet and not greasy. But it can make people indulge in it unknowingly, and the mood becomes calm.
Lin Yi sat in the first seat, and soon a little eunuch brought hot tea.It's been a long time outside, and even though I wear a lot, it's still a bit chilly.At this time, Lin Yi held the teacup in his hands, and the fragrance of tea mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers rushed into his nostrils.
He sniffed vigorously, looked up at the two people sitting down: "What kind of tea is this?"
Zhao Fan proudly said: "The empress came at the right time today. This tea was picked by Xiao Chong himself, and it was paired with the petals of Impatiens. It is the only place in the whole palace."
Lin Yi was surprised and said: "I didn't even know that impatiens can be made into tea!" He picked up the tea bowl and took two sips, but put down the tea bowl with a frown: "But I'm not used to this taste."
Zhao Fan looked at Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji smiled and said nothing, Zhao Fan raised his eyebrows, then turned back and said: "Since the queen is not used to drinking, I asked someone to make other tea..."
Lin Yi shook his head, and took a few more sips: "Don't bother, it's not hard to swallow."
The three chatted about other things, and Lin Yi gradually lost his energy, so he got up to leave.
When he walked out of the palace gate, Tang Zi came up to meet him, looked at him carefully with both surprise and joy, and sighed for a long time: "You have stayed in the palace for so long, and you have no defense at all. You are not as good as an outsider like me."
Lin Yi was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
Seeing that the queen's attendants were all around, Tang Zi hooked Lin Yi's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Don't you think that... Xiao Chong looks at you strangely? That Zhao Jieyu seems very I despise the way you look!"
"...Really..." Lin Yi pretended to be surprised and looked at Tang Zi.
Tang Zi nodded seriously: "You are really...they will drink anything for you, and you are not afraid of them tampering with the tea."
Lin Yi coughed lightly, and leaned on Tang Zi's body.Tang Zi was taken aback, and quickly stretched out his hands to help him. He lowered his head and saw the young man's back pressed against him limply, as if he would faint at any moment. His heart tightened, and he said cautiously, "Go back?"
"Hmm..." The young man in his arms nodded obediently, followed Tang Zi's support onto the chariot, and was carried all the way back to Qionghua Palace.
On the other side of the Jiuhua Palace, Xiao Ji and Zhao Fan sat back to their original seats, sipping tea slowly.
Zhao Fan said: "Xiao Chongshi, your Fengxian tea is really bad."
Xiao Jidao: "I also made it casually. The queen came to the palace today, thinking that the flower name of the phoenix fairy matches the queen, so I scooped it out for the queen to taste."
Zhao Fan chuckled: "In the final analysis, he is just a sick child. How many years he can live is still a problem. If it wasn't for King Zhenbei, would he be able to sit where he is now?"
Xiao Jidao: "Your temperament of daring to say anything needs to be changed. Be careful that walls have ears."
"If I can change it, I won't be Zhao Fan anymore."
"When the time comes, you will get into trouble, don't expect me to save you."
Zhao Fan smiled and took Xiao Ji's arm: "You won't."
Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at him with great interest: "I want to live a few more years, and I don't want to take care of you, a reckless brat."
Zhao Fan said: "Why didn't you add something to the tea before? He has no defense at all. When I think of this kind of person pressing on my head, I feel uncomfortable all over."
Xiao Jidao: "Take it easy, don't forget that he is the queen, no matter how bad he is, the emperor will support him."
Zhao Fan snorted coldly: "I knew..."
Lin Yi was almost half hugged and half supported back to the bedroom.
He leaned against the brocade couch without strength, not wanting to move, and let the palace people help him take off his cloak.
Sitting beside him, Tang Zi looked at him worriedly and said, "I told you to be brave!"
Lin Yi lazily opened his eyes: "There is no harm in walking more."
Tang Zi snorted coldly: "That depends on the circumstances!"
"Actually," Lin Yi said, "I have long since discovered that their attitude towards me is a bit...strange."
Tang Zi sighed: "Oh, hey, sooner or later they will eat up such a meek temper like you." Recalling the dark side of the harem that the old Princess Qi once told, look at the dusty young man in front of him , I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"After a few years, will the emperor still treat you so well?"
Lin Yi looked at Tang Zi with some amusement: "How do I know?"
"Really...why did you enter the palace in the first place?"
Lin Yi said, "How do I know?"
Tang Zi stared at him, but after a while he was discouraged, shook his head and stopped talking.
Liu Xia brought snacks and tea, Tang Zi bluntly filled his mouth with pastries and chewed vigorously, as if he was very hungry.
Lin Yi, who had been lying silent all this time, suddenly said, "If you were a wounded rabbit and met a hungry wolf, what would you do?"
Tang Zi replied casually: "What else can I do? Wait for death!"
Lin Yi said: "Not necessarily. Knowing that struggling is useless, but you still have to bite the bullet and run away, you will only die worse. There is only a glimmer of hope for life, but you have to try anyway, but you have to wait until the wolf The moment when it is about to pounce on it and prepare to eat it."
Tang Zi was taken aback, then turned to look at Lin Yi, only to find that the young man was leaning on the cushion with his eyes closed, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he was smiling a little strangely.
"You..." He suddenly understood something.
The boy yawned and curled up into a small ball on the couch: "It's too easy to die, I've already died once, this time I can't sit still and wait for death no matter what."
The man seemed to be asleep, Tang Zi carefully carried him to the bed, and quietly left the bedroom.
From a distance, Li Xiaozhong, the Chief Eunuch of Qionghua Palace, was talking to a little maid kneeling on the ground at the entrance of the main hall.In Tang Zi's impression, Li Xiaozhong is a good-tempered person, always smiling with squinted eyes, and very easy to get along with.But at this time, Li Xiaozhong was standing at the door with a serious look, and he lowered his voice to scold the little maid who was kneeling on the ground.
Tang Zi was a little curious, so he walked over unsteadily, and as the distance got closer, the conversation between the two floated into his ears.
"...No, is the queen's master something you can meet whenever you want?!"
"Eunuch, please!"
"Our master is not in good health, we have already rested, come back tomorrow! Don't block here, hindering people from entering and exiting!"
"...I'm really in a hurry! Our master just wants to see the queen... If it's too late, it's too late!"
Tang Zi walked behind Li Xiaozhong: "What's going on?"
The little maid was crying, seeing another person came, she didn't care who that person was, she just kowtowed and said: "My lord, I beg you... let the servants see the queen..."
"what happened?"
"Yes...it's Mrs. Zhang Zhaoyi...she's dying! I want to see the queen for the last time!"
"What did you say--?!"
Tang Zi turned around with a smirk, and saw Lin Yi standing behind him with the support of Wan Shuang, with a serious expression on his face.
The little palace maid looked at Lin Yi happily: "Empress...Empress... Please save our Lady Zhaoyi...She is in Weiyang Palace...now she is seriously ill...I want to see the queen for the last time..."
Lin Yi almost forgot that there was such a person in the palace. Ever since Zhang Zhaoyi was forced to accuse him by the imperial concubine that day, Lin Yi had a little resistance to this Zhang Wanyu girl.Later, it was heard that the Zhang family fell, and Zhang Zhaoyi also disappeared in the harem. Few people took the initiative to mention Zhang Zhaoyi, who was once the head of the nine concubines, and Lin Yi was no exception.But they didn't expect that she was still alive and was imprisoned in the cold palace by the emperor.
Tang Zi walked up to Lin Yi, jokingly said, "Miss Zhaoyi...? Is it your old friend?"
Lin Yi smiled at Tang Zi: "That's right...Doctor Tang, can you invite Doctor Bai? Come with me to Weiyang Palace."

Weiyang Palace used to be the residence of the queen of the former dynasty. After the Zhou Dynasty emperor took over the world, he rebuilt the former palace as his residence. When the craftsmen repaired Weiyang Palace, various accidents happened frequently. The project has not been able to proceed. The ghost of a certain queen who died unjustly made troubles, and designated Weiyang Palace as her territory, and no one was allowed to approach it.Later Taizu decreed that the craftsmen were withdrawn, and Weiyang Palace was preserved as it was in the previous dynasty. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, it has now become the most mysterious place deep in the palace.
Concubines who made mistakes will be sent to Weiyang Palace, but only a few can come out alive.
Weiyang Palace is actually a cold palace.
Lin Yi sat on the chariot and listened to the introduction from Li Xiaozhong who was walking beside him.
"Aside from Zhang Zhaoyi, are there any other concubines there?"
Li Xiaozhong said: "Master, there are still some concubines and nobles who were sent in when the first emperor. I heard that there are dead people going out there every day..." Carefully watching the reaction of the young man sitting on the seat, the young man's whole body was buried in the ground In the seat, only a pale little face was exposed, with beautiful eyes half-down, looking thoughtful.
When the chariot entered the gate of Weiyang Palace, a decadent and desolate atmosphere rushed over.There are dead trees with slanted branches everywhere, and the houses have become mottled and broken due to years of disrepair. From the incomplete decorations of beasts on the eaves, we can vaguely see the splendor and exquisiteness of Weiyang Palace in the past.
The walking chariot was led by the little maid before to the door of a dilapidated palace. The little maid pushed open the incomplete palace door, and then bowed and knelt down solemnly.
Lin Yi was supported by Li Xiaozhong and walked out of the carriage. He turned around and greeted Tang Zi and Bai Tingyun who were following behind the team.Tang Zi dragged Bai Tingyun, who was looking around with a surprised face, through the palace people and came to Lin Yi. Doctor Bai writhed restlessly in his hands and tried to break free, Tang Zi couldn't help pulling hard.
Bai Tingyun staggered back two steps, accidentally tripped over the rotten threshold, the threshold was severely damaged and shattered into pieces, Bai Tingyun lost his balance and fell heavily on the ground, screaming and rolling.
Bai Tingyun's behavior amused the surrounding palace people, and the serious atmosphere was broken for a while, and became much more relaxed.
The only one who didn't smile was the little maid next to Zhang Zhaoyi, named Xiaotao.She was a maid brought by Zhang Wanyu from her natal family when she entered the palace. She grew up with Miss Zhang's family since she was a child, and she has a deep relationship with her.Now that Maggie Cheung is in trouble, her
