imprinted you in my heart

Lu Yan and the others, who were not on duty tonight, had already rested, and were suddenly woken up by the person on duty, and a carp got up straight away, without any delay, and the reaction speed was extremely fast, obviously trained.Before Bu Qianxue packed up, they had already packed up and waited outside.

Not long after, the carriage finally drove out of Buhou Mansion. There were eight people in the group, three of them got into the carriage one after another, one drove the car, and four accompanied them. The street market seemed extraordinarily quiet, and the sound of horseshoes and the footsteps of the accompanying guards in disguise could be heard clearly.

The carriage had just walked a street, and when it turned a corner, it encountered the oncoming patrol of the Foreign Imperial Army. The other party asked and inspected as usual, and the carriage had to stop for the first time. No matter how anxious Bu Qianxue was, she could only bear it.

After the curfew in the city of Fandu, except for the patrollers, watchmen and guarding the city gates, there were basically no other people on the street, and it was only a matter of time before they were hit by patrollers, especially when they were still riding in a carriage. How obvious. How obvious.

Although not long ago the general on duty tonight had sent a messenger to communicate His Majesty's order to summon the Zhonggong, but patrolling is their duty, and they still have to inspect and interrogate, otherwise, what if it's not the Zhonggong? !If something really happened, who would take the responsibility?

Although the curfew regulations in Fandu City are that only the emperor and those holding gold medals can pass after the curfew, otherwise they will be punished regardless, but the emperor's temporary order to summon is also the emperor's intention, so it is classified as a reason for the incident. Just summoned the ministers in the middle of the night, and met all of them at once. Wouldn't it be that the ass was blossomed by being invited to the county government by the patrol long before meeting the emperor.

The two prestige guards in front of them did not make things difficult for them. After all, they were businessmen. They explained their reasons and identities, and then showed their badges. The patrolling outer guards carefully checked their badges and confirmed that they belonged to the first-class guards of the inner guards. After receiving the waist card, he was released and continued to patrol other places.

The waist badge is a unique identity token for those who work or serve in the palace. The waist badge contains the position and where to serve, which determines the range of places the wearer can go in the palace. For example, in the imperial dining room If you want to work, you can only work in and between Shangshi Bureau and Palace Attendant's residence.

If they went to other places privately and were discovered, they would be lightly punished and fined. Therefore, the palace servants would not go to other places indiscriminately. If something happened, the internal officials would take them there.

Different identities have different materials for waist badges. High-ranking internal officials have copper waist badges, while low-rank officials have iron waist badges. The mahogany wood is bestowed upon entering the palace, and it is issued and managed by the Shangguan Bureau. The old ones should be taken back, and must be taken back when they leave the palace permanently or die.

The waist badges of the Prestige Guards of the Inner Guards are copper, the Confidential Guards and Changping Guards are made of iron, and the generals are made of silver. They are uniformly issued and managed by the Secretary of the Inner Guards. Like the Imperial Guards, they are issued after taking office and returned after resignation. Symbols and proofs are also one of the credentials for entering and leaving the palace.

Every piece of waist badge in the palace has a file, with the bottom stamp of the waist badge and the specific whereabouts. Losing the waist badge is a felony in Hua Dynasty. Martial law will begin in the palace to prevent those who have picked up the waist card from mixing into the palace.

It is absolutely impossible for someone to blatantly enter the palace to assassinate the emperor by changing clothes and grabbing a belt card like on TV, because even the belt card of the Imperial Guard with a slightly larger authority has restrictions on the range of movement. The scope of activities is even smaller, and the whereabouts of the emperor is a secret that cannot be asked in the palace. It is basically useless to sneak into the palace and assassinate the emperor with the waist card.

In addition, when entering the palace, there are strict regulations on carrying weapons with you, and there are distance regulations for face saints. As a result, even royal family members like Shi Shuang cannot assassinate in the palace, so they can only choose to intercept and kill halfway.

Waist badges, like seals, family tokens, and documents to prove identity, are not only a kind of identity proof, but also a kind of honor. After all, they are unique in the palace.

On the empty street, the sound of horseshoes rattled again. Along the way, they were checked three or four times, either by the patrol team of the Foreign Imperial Army or the patrol yamen of Anyi County. He was stopped by the Changping guards on duty in the guard room built around the moat.

The guard room was originally there, and it was also the first line of defense of the palace. It was built around the moat of the palace. There are 180 guard rooms in total. The number of copper bells conveying information and warnings was increased to 210 by Shi Min to ensure that there are no dead ends.

The disguised Weiyiwei who opened the way had to negotiate again. The Changpingwei on duty learned that it was Zhonggong and saluted inside the car. After checking their badges and confirming that they were correct, they let them go.

Being forced to stop several times along the way, Bu Qianxue became even more anxious, but she had no choice but to walk forward slowly.Knowing that she was in a bad mood, she didn't say much all the way for half a month, and Lu Yan always paid attention to the situation outside, just in case.

After many inspections, they finally arrived at the white marble bridge on the moat outside the Taisi Gate. After crossing the bridge, they were at the Taisi Gate. Then they were stopped again without any surprise. He was stopped again.

The palace gate was clearly in front of them, and the three large characters of Taisi Gate were faintly visible under the light of the lantern, but they couldn't get in! "As expected of the palace, there are so many rules and regulations." Ban Yue, who had never found it so difficult to enter the palace, couldn't help but whispered.

Bu Qianxue gave her a stern look, and explained: "The imperial palace is the most vital point in the world. It was already heavily guarded. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he made adjustments to check for deficiencies and make up for omissions. It is even stricter. If you go to Chengtianmen, I'm afraid It's more complicated than that."

Hearing what Bu Qianxue said, Ban Yue, who was muttering at first, felt a little lucky. Fortunately, they went to the Taisi Gate, which was the closest.

The disguised Wei Yiwei had to go forward to negotiate again, and did not stop until the general dressed as a general was three steps away, showing his waist card and saying: "Your Majesty urgently called the Central Palace, please make it easy."

Each palace gate is guarded by two middle-ranking generals of the Imperial Guard, one on the outside and one on the inside. The middle-level and above generals are on duty. Although the small doors can be guarded by low-level generals, once the curfew is imposed, all the small doors will be locked from the inside and will not be opened until the curfew ends the next day.

The small door is the side door, which was specially opened for the convenience of the common people. It is not suitable for the army to pass through quickly, and the gatekeepers have no spare keys. Therefore, when Shi Shuang rebelled, he used the direction of the four main entrances, and the transfer of the forbidden army also went in the four directions. The main entrance is for this reason.

More importantly, as long as the curfew in Fandu City is over, the keys of all city gates will be received in a unified place and kept by a specific person. Before Shi Shuang's rebellion, the four main gates of Fandu City had a spare key kept by the general on duty. All the keys have been received by the Foreign Imperial Army Division and kept by the high-level generals on duty.

After Shi Shuang's rebellion, Shi Min learned his lesson and changed it. Only one spare key was allowed to be kept at the central south gate in case of emergency access, and no spare keys were kept at the other three main gates. The military secret minister on duty kept it, and during the day it was kept by the Secretary of the Foreign Forbidden Army.

The imperial palace is even stricter. Once the palace gates are locked, except for the spare key left at the Dacheng Gate, which is convenient for the civil and military ministers on duty in the middle scene to act cheaply in emergencies, all other palace gates are locked, and the Chengtian Gate is heavily guarded. There is a spare key in the Dacheng Gate, and every time the minister comes in and out, he must also write down the specific reasons, sign and seal for future reference.

Once the palace gates are locked, all the keys to the palace gates will be sent to the Shangguan Bureau and kept by the internal officials who are responsible for safekeeping. The internal officials who can hold this position are generally those who are trusted by the emperor or empress.

The gatekeeper said: "You know the rules in the palace. Although His Majesty has passed down the decree, he has not sent the fish talisman so far. Even if I want to do this conveniently, I dare not." Although the news was still arranged by him It was reported that there were no fish charms or gold medals, etc., and they didn't dare to send someone to the Shangguan Bureau to ask for the key.

Pretending to be a majestic guard, of course he knew the rules of the palace, so he was a little surprised. If His Majesty called urgently, he would send someone to deliver the fish talisman to the corresponding gate of the palace. : "Report to Zhonggong, His Majesty has not passed down the fish charm yet, and may have to wait for a while."

Bu Qianxue was taken aback when she heard the words, she knew how thoughtful Shi Min was, if she had been called urgently, she would never have missed such an important link, she frowned, and only remembered after a while With the gold medal, he quickly took it out from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan took it without changing his face, he was already so surprised that everyone in the palace knew the importance of the gold medal, and everyone in the palace knew that it was necessary to return it when it was used up, but the palace had nothing important to do and could Take it out with you, which shows that the gold medal is not just won recently.

She knew that His Majesty liked Zhonggong very much and valued Zhonggong very much, but it was only at this moment that she realized that she still underestimated the weight of Zhonggong in His Majesty's heart.Such precious things as gold medals can be given to Zhonggong to carry with him, no matter whether it is the current dynasty or the previous two dynasties, it is probably the only one.

After all, such an important thing as a gold medal can not only represent the emperor's presence in person, but can also go anywhere unimpeded. If someone with evil intentions takes it, the consequences will be disastrous.

This shows that His Majesty's trust in Zhonggong is beyond comparison with ordinary people. This kind of cognition makes Lu Yan have to re-examine himself again. With such a master, promotion is naturally easy, but if something happens, it will be beyond redemption. He is not afraid of death , I am afraid that death is worthless.

After Lu Yan got off the carriage and showed the gold medal, there was a lot of saluting sounds. Immediately after getting up, the gatekeeper started to exchange messages with his colleagues guarding the gate. After completing the process, he respectfully walked to the side of the carriage and saluted again: " The palace is blessed with prosperity and prosperity, and many humble ministers have usurped, so I ask the palace to forgive their sins."

"You have done your duty faithfully, what is your fault? Thank you for your hard work." Along the way, she heard and said a lot in such scenes. She was clearly anxious to death, but she had to deal with it, and her face was a little impatient.

Bu Qianxue, Lu Yan and others knew how far the Taisi Gate was from the Shangguan Bureau. They thought they would have to wait for a long time, but they didn't expect to hear the sound of the palace gate opening after a while. Yan went to see what was going on.

Not to mention that Bu Qianxue was puzzled, the guards were also puzzled, no matter how fast it was, the guards inside were no less surprised than they were, because he saw with his own eyes that the people he sent out came back shortly after leaving. They also brought Ai Dianli, who was in charge of keys from the Shangguan Bureau, and Deputy Director B of Fengde Palace.

After asking, I found out that it was His Majesty's will. Ai Dianli and the others happened to meet the people he sent, and they came back together. There was not only His Majesty's will, but also half of the fish talisman of Deputy Chief B, which matched the half in his hand as before. , Zhonggong itself has a gold medal, what can the gatekeeper say, he can only take the key and open the door immediately.

Bu Qianxue and his party finally entered the palace. It took them almost an hour to complete a task that could be done in about half an hour, but it was not easy, especially for the anxious Bu Qianxue, every moment was A kind of torment, I just wish I could fly back with my wings.

Lu Yan also reported what he had found out. Hearing that it was Shi Min's intention, and that it was Yichun who sent him, Bu Qianxue finally felt relieved, because this was Shi Min's normal state.

Shi Min also had no choice, the words were spread by the people sent by Lu Guanchu, and even if she wanted to take it back, she couldn't take it back, so she was fined a month's salary as a punishment, and apart from preaching a few words, she could only try her best After remediating it, he directly sent Yichun to take the fish charm to the Shangguan Bureau, saving some time if he could.

Of course she remembered the gold medal she gave Bu Qianxue, but she also knew that Bu Qianxue didn't have the habit of carrying the gold medal with her every day, so just in case, she sent someone to open the door with a fish charm to be on the safe side.

It was almost midnight when Bu Qianxue arrived outside the Hongde Hall of Fengde Palace. All the way in, the guards on duty all lowered their heads slightly, and their faces could not be seen clearly under the light of the palace lanterns until they saw the Luguan guarding outside the hall. It was only at the beginning that I could see the other person's face clearly, and the sad eyes set off by the calm face were more obvious.

Although Lu Guanchu no longer had a smile on his face after the death of the Empress Dowager, but his eyes were full of worry as never before, and the atmosphere in Fengde Palace was different from usual, which made After finally letting go of her heart, she brought it up again, with a louder voice, and asked, "Where is Your Majesty? But what happened?".

"Your Majesty is waiting for you inside, you'll know when you go in." Lu Guanchu, who didn't smile, looked younger, and he pretended well from beginning to end, thinking that the worries in his heart had been covered up and hidden.

Seeing her expression, she obviously wouldn't say much, so Bu Qianxue didn't ask any more questions. She lifted her foot and continued to walk in, past the gate, and the familiar patterns and decorations jumped into her eyes one by one, but she only wanted to see the person in her heart. , there was no Hongde Hall, and turned to the sleeping hall, passed the curtain and the screen, and finally saw the person sleeping on the bed, the bed was so big that the person on the bed looked much smaller than usual, and the white cloth covering the eyes hurt Her eyes, her feet faltered as if they had been filled with lead.

"Is it Qianxue?" Shi Min asked tentatively, her voice was hoarse as if it came from someone who had been ill for a long time, her ears became very sensitive after her eyes were no longer needed, and she opened her mouth only when she heard the footsteps stop.

"It's me, what's wrong with your eyes? And the voice...how did it become like this?...Ah?!..." She felt that it was difficult to walk at a distance that was not far away, and it took a lot of effort to walk. Finally sitting on the side of the bed holding Shi Min's hand and asking, weeping, she was fine before she left the palace, why did she...become like this? !

Shi Min's throat was a little sore, and her eyes were even more sore. Even if the imperial doctor took medicine, it still hurt, but the moment she was held by a familiar hand and the tip of her nose was filled with the familiar smell of the other party, all her senses were concentrated. My hands and my sense of smell don't feel so painful anymore.

Before she had time to feel it well, she heard Bu Qianxue's choked up sobs, and she even started crying after she finished speaking, which made her heart ache suddenly, worse than her eyes, "I'm fine, don't cry, don't cry, I Originally, it was only my eyes that hurt, but when you cry, my heart also hurts." As he spoke, he wanted to break away from Bu Qianxue's hand and sit up.

"Don't move around!" Sensing her intentions, Bu Qianxue not only didn't let go, but held her hand even tighter, and didn't dare to cry anymore. After a while, she finally restrained her emotions, and blamed: "You have no heart!" Illness, how can you feel heartache if you are fine, why don't you call the imperial doctor to take a look."

Although he couldn't sit up as he wished, Shi Min still tried hard to wipe Bu Qianxue's tears with the other hand that was not held. This time, Bu Qianxue didn't stop her, but let her hand touch his face , but she herself stared at the other party's eyes covered with medicine, feeling like a knife was twisting her heart.

After groping to wipe Bu Qianxue's tears, Shi Min withdrew his hand contentedly, and comforted him: "No, I don't know why, if you don't cry, it won't hurt anymore." "Really?" Bu Qianxue didn't believe it, "Really I will lie to no one and I will not lie to you." When Bu Qianxue cried just now, she really felt angina and a little bit at a loss.

She has never felt this kind of feeling before, even if her first love in the previous life cried, at most she would be at a loss and would not feel heartache at all.

Bu Qianxue thought for a while, and Shi Min really didn't lie to her, she believed it immediately, and said softly: "Then I won't cry, do my eyes hurt? Did the imperial doctor come and see what he said? Also, what happened? What?", she wished she could ask all the questions in one breath.

Shi Min replied: "Don't worry, I feel better now, the imperial doctor has already visited, and said it's only temporary, just rest and recuperate for a while, as for what happened, we have to start from the afternoon... ......".

The imperial physician on duty at the imperial hospital tonight is Lu Jianyi. After being summoned, he immediately followed the palace attendant into the palace. He was going to the hot spring room, but he met the palace attendant who came to pass the message on the way, so he diverted to Fenghuang. Degong and Shi Min arrived one after another.

It never occurred to Lu Jianyi that His Majesty suffered from eye disease, blurred vision, and at first he kept crying and photophobia, but now he is better, but he is still photophobic. The medicine was taken externally, because I didn't know it was an eye disease in advance, so I didn't bring any medicine for this aspect at all, and I had to ask the accompanying medicine boy to make another trip.

The medicine to be taken externally is Kongqing, a traditional Chinese medicine. After the medicine boy brought it, Lu Jianyi gave her the medicine. When the medicine dripped on her eyes, she felt more comfortable. The blindfold was not because of the medicine, but Because she is still afraid of light for the time being.

The internal medicine had already been taken before Bu Qianxue came, so Bu Qianxue didn't see Lu Jianyi all the way in, and even the smell of the medicine was already insignificant due to time, if she smelled the medicine, she would He would not ask the imperial doctor if he had come.

"...It was really an accident, and it will never happen again in the future." Shi Min, who was afraid of Bu Qianxue's worry and was a little cautious, picked up the key points, and she avoided many places and took them lightly.

"I know that you make those things because you want to do something good for the people and this country, but do you know that in my heart, you are more important than them! I only want you to be good! Promise me that you will not touch these things after your eyes are healed Dangerous things, otherwise you would know." Bu Qianxue, who was originally very gentle, deliberately raised her voice threateningly.

What else?Otherwise, first solve those things and the study room by yourself, and if you can't solve it by yourself, you can go to the queen mother to sue.

Shi Min didn't expect Bu Qianxue to say these words, and his heart was warm, as sweet as honey, "Okay, I promise you, I won't do these dangerous experiments again unless it is absolutely necessary." Fortunately, IQ is still unclear. Zero, otherwise it would be the kind that promised to die.

"Stay and sleep together tonight, please? Don't worry, I won't do anything." Shi Min's hand was hot with anxiety, and the other hand was grabbing the quilt with nowhere to put it, and his tone was unprecedented. No confidence.

Bu Qianxue is still in the mourning period, and she herself is also in the mourning period. Based on her understanding of Bu Qianxue, the chances of staying are really low, which is why she is so unconfident.

"Okay" Unexpectedly, Bu Qianxue agreed, took off her clothes, and for the first time, the two slept on the same bed openly, with the cross tightly intertwined, surrounded by their favorite and familiar smells.

Bu Qianxue felt that the hands she held together were very hot, and her face was also very hot. She wanted to say something at first, but she was so nervous that she couldn't think of it all at once.

Shi Min didn't go there well, and he didn't feel nervous when he was sneaking around last time, but today he was very nervous, his whole body was feverish, and his heart was pounding.

Although the two of them clasped each other tightly, there was still some distance between them. Bu Qianxue slept very well, but Shi Min didn't show any signs. Do you want to move a little until the two of them are holding hands, shoulders and shoulders, and can clearly hear each other's breathing? stop.

If she could get closer, Shi Min probably wouldn't have stopped. The problem was that she was so close, and Bu Qianxue, who noticed her small movements, saw through her tricks, and suddenly became less nervous, and felt sleepy after a while. ?
