Emperor Que Shaohua

"Harvest in autumn and store in winter, you refuse to take a good rest in autumn, wasting the good time and the hard-earned elixir of the owner of the valley. If you miss the winter again now, the effect will be greatly reduced." Master Xi Gu said coldly, "I I can see it, don't look at it for twelve days, it is impossible to expect you to be free consciously, so I have already greeted you from all over the house, from tomorrow onwards, no one is allowed to come to you to say a word of trouble , and rest in peace."

"This... but Lord Gu, I still have some things to wait for an answer. Pavilion Master Su may also send a letter in the near future, and he should have entered the palace for the last court, Zhu Jin's side..." King Jing was instinctively embarrassed, Then, looking at the expression of Mengxian Valley Master who had waited and vowed not to wait again, he swallowed the following words very wisely, trying not to show a guilty conscience.He could imagine that everyone, including King Ning, nodded and promised to strictly abide by the doctor's orders.If there is anyone in the mansion whose words are more effective than his own, it must be Dr. Xi.

"Young Master Zhu just sent a letter not long ago, and His Royal Highness the King of Yun just set off. The monsters and monsters from the barbarians you have to deal with will only arrive later." Xi Minghua is obviously determined not to be soft-hearted and accommodating this time, and still has an aggressive aura. "As for the palace, if you really fall ill, you can't take care of it even if the sky falls, and you still go to court? Since the unconscionable stupid emperor has ruthlessly dealt with it, you should look like you are poisoned and weak, and always hold on." What do people usually do when they have nothing to do? There is still half a day left today, take care of everything and go to bed obediently!"

In the eyes of Xi Minghua, whose medical skills are as proficient as Xi Minghua, there are no major issues other than life and death, so King Jing nodded in agreement.He thought that maybe he was really a fan of the authorities. Whether he had himself or not, many things would still not change the destined trajectory. Who knows whether what he did today was necessary or futile?If you think about it, you will be relieved.

Luo Pingyuan knew about Xi Guzhu's arrangement in advance, and when he came back that evening, he was very happy to see that his brother Huang was already giving instructions to Qin Shuang and Yang Yue for the next ten days.

King Jing saw that there was a bit of joy in his brows and eyes all night, so he asked with a smile: "Could it be that Ping Yuan met something happy outside today? It seems that you are not in a bad mood."

"It's nothing special. As long as it's related to official warehouses and taxes, everything is very cumbersome. I felt bored. In the afternoon, I dismantled a few tricks with Deputy Commander Yuchi in the guard. Senior Chai's palm skills are really brilliant." Luo Pingyuan said, "But I was thinking just now, Brother Huang, if you take good care of yourself this time, your illness should get better, and you won't be sick every month in the future."

Luo Yanhua was studying ink, but when he heard the back, the movements of his hands paused.He didn't expect that Luo Pingyuan would care so much about his illness in his heart, and, having placed such hope, he would be looking forward to it from the bottom of his heart.But he will be disappointed.

In September and October, during the last two fifteen days, Luo Pingyuan saw him go to the palace, and then fell ill after coming back.Even though he prepared a suitable reason every time, and Xi Minghua helped cover it up, he could still feel the emperor's brother's growing confusion and worry; Zhong refuses to go out, if this goes on, it won't take long to understand.

"As the saying goes, disease goes away like a thread, and it has been dragging on for years, and it will get better slowly." He considered his words and said, "Dr. Attacks are inevitable, but they subside and the fever doesn't necessarily come back afterward."

"That's right." Luo Pingyuan was a little disappointed. Couldn't Pishuizhu and Pichenzhu not cure it?More than once, he thought about finding some more symptomatic medicinal materials, but everyone told him not to do anything.

What Brother Huang said is also reasonable, it cannot be done overnight.He thought for a while and said: "I always suffered too much in the past few years. If I can no longer have a fever, I can protect my vitality. There are so many things that bother me now, and when we sort them out one by one, Brother Huang will be able to cultivate his body with peace of mind. "He once heard from his master that if you see someone who often has a fever, you must not take it lightly. Even if it does not mean that you have a serious illness, it will often become weaker and weaker day by day, and eventually it will be hard to recover.

"Well, take your time." King Jing smiled at him, and immediately mentioned another matter, "Ping Yuan, are you going to the palace to meet Xue Ning in these two days?"

"Yeah, she sent someone to send a letter, complaining about why I always have no news, so I don't want to visit her." Luo Pingyuan said, "Actually, it's because of missing me, the imperial brother, Her Royal Highness misses someone else. "

When he said this, it seemed that Wang Jing's smile was still in front of him, soft and elegant as usual, but he always felt that there seemed to be something different inside, not tiredness, but an indescribable melancholy.

Because of his brief trance, he almost missed Luo Yanhua's next words: "I also wanted to visit Concubine Rong and the imperial sister recently. When you see Xue Ning, tell her for me. Don't panic, it will get better."

"Okay, I'll tell her." Luo Pingyuan replied, Lin Chen was injured in the battle, and kept hiding it from Xue Ning.In addition, after returning, it is time to try to negotiate a marriage. This is what Brother Huang is referring to.With such a fork in his thoughts, he didn't have time to capture Luo Yanhua's fleeting subtle emotions.

In the many years that followed, that quiet smile often appeared in his mind involuntarily, and the faint sadness in it turned into indescribable sadness, which almost broke Luo Pingyuan's heart and soul.

"One more thing, it's not a big deal." King Jing said, "In a few days, it will be the birthday of Mrs. Tai in the Imperial Academy Gu Changshi's family. Are you going to congratulate her?"

"I received the invitation a few days ago, but there have been a lot of things recently. I asked someone to prepare a birthday gift, and I thought it would be good to send it at that time." Luo Pingyuan remembered that Chang Shi Gu Hongsheng belonged to the late Princess Yun. Father, the family of the Gu family has been scholarly for generations, and because Princess Yun has left behind a son, he still maintains an in-law relationship with the palace, "Brother Huang, do you want me to be there?"

"Mrs. Gu is seventy years old. After all, she is from the family of the fourth emperor. He is on the way, and I can't go. How about taking a trip with Yuanyuan as a courtesy?" Luo Yanhua said, "He Ling and Fan Xi I should be invited as well, and I heard that the back garden of the Gu Mansion is beautifully built, so I should go and relax."

The relatives of the clan always have several such banquets every year, and King Ning is usually too courteous to meet people.Since Brother Huang specifically asked, he would naturally not refuse.With the current reputation of the fourth prince, it is expected that civil servants, military generals and even clan members who came to celebrate the birthday will be indispensable, so I went to the icing on the cake to meet the scene.

So from the next day, King Jing claimed to be sick and thanked guests behind closed doors.Whether it is for the outside world or for himself, he is already accustomed to it and is familiar with it.

Two days later, the news of the emperor's eldest son's illness spread to the palace. Emperor Tianyi originally made an exception and wanted to ask the imperial doctor to see him. Comparing some of the information he received, he was convinced that Beiliao, which had suffered a disastrous defeat on the battlefield, was plotting and mobilizing people from all corners of the country, and there was likely to be a change, so he also became concerned about Luo Yanhua's physical condition.

But as soon as he thought about asking, he said to the fifth prince who came to greet him in a flat tone: "Brother Dahuang has been sick for a while, and he has been lying in bed for ten and a half months. When you want to ask what kind of illness it is, you can't tell me what it is." , just saying that he is weak. It would be good if Father sent some imperial doctors to diagnose him."

Hearing this, the emperor immediately dismissed the idea of ​​sending a doctor, he was almost negligent, if the imperial doctor treats him attentively according to the order and diagnoses the poison in the eldest prince, wouldn't it be an unnecessary incident.

He glanced at the fifth prince, and the smile on his lips was gentle and meaningful, and he turned to explain other matters.

Everything was clear and obvious: Luo Pingyuan never concealed his indifference towards Luo Yanhua, lived in the same mansion for a long time, and always had a business-like attitude, it was not very easy for King Jing.When he ordered King Ning to live in Prince Jing's Mansion, he had already anticipated such a situation. No matter how friendly Luo Yanhua tried to be, there was an insurmountable gap between the two of them who killed their mother.

After Luo Pingyuan reported his official duties to Emperor Tianyi, he left Qingliang Hall and walked towards the harem.

When he went to Lanting Palace this time, his mood was not as relaxed as usual.Xue Ning wanted to hear about Lin Chen, but she had to hide some things from her.

After the battle at Guiyan Peak, he had received two letters from General Lin.Lin Chen led [-] troops in the battle, first on the left wing of the Liangyi Sixiang formation, and then under the command of the banner to participate in the Taiji formation where Yin and Yang alternate; in the last two days, when the Jiugong Xuanji formation was encircled, he took the initiative to invite Ying and lead his troops He obeyed the orders of Guan Chan, Lingxu Commander, and followed Langhuan's subordinates to kill the enemy.In the battle formation, the place where Lang Huan is located is often the most dangerous, and Lin Chen was also trapped several times, but fortunately, he and his comrades supported each other, and they were always able to save the day.But when the battle was about to end, he was still injured. He was stabbed by a Liao man in the shoulder, and his right leg was broken when he fell off the horse.

The first letter Luo Pingyuan received from him was very long, describing the fierce fighting and advancing and retreating on the battlefield, the swords and halberds were like forests, the mountains and rivers changed color, and the passion and pride can be seen between the lines; It is completely impossible to tell that it was written by a wounded person lying on the bed.It wasn't until the end that he wrote a few words about how he was injured, where he was injured, and that it was fine, just take care of him for a few days, and let him not tell Luo Xuening, so as not to affect his heroic image in the princess's mind in the future.

Luo Pingyuan was fascinated at first. Although Lin Chen's narration was as energetic as himself, he still felt the cruelty and danger of the battlefield and the heaviness after experiencing life and death.But at the end of the reading, he could only be angry and funny, how to show this letter to the imperial sister, so he had to put it away for now.

He was a little worried about Lin Chen's injury. General Lin, who was always cheerful and easygoing, was actually a bit of a pushover in his heart, so he said it was okay, maybe he was hiding the seriousness.

The Marquis of Dingjian's Mansion has a number of cronies in the army, and they learned more about the situation. Luo Pingyuan found out that the knife wound on Lin Chen's shoulder was not deep, and the leg injury seemed to be serious, but he will always recover after being raised. , just put down the heart.

He understood that his friend said it was for the sake of image, but in fact it was mainly because he didn't want Xue Ning to be worried when he heard the news, so every time they met, he never mentioned the matter of the injury, only said that Lin Chen had made a contribution, and the letter was ready to be brought out for the princess to reminisce after time passed.

However, border battle reports and news continued one after another, and with the attention of interested people, they could always hear a thing or two here and there, and Princess Danyang gradually heard about it.She can't wait for Lin Chen's handwritten letter, and it's not easy to ask outsiders, so how can she not worry more about it.It is expected that the five emperor brothers conspired to hide one of them from her, so King Ning was complained by the emperor sister and chased after him.

Luo Pingyuan avoided it for two days, and he couldn't hide his heart anyway. Compared with Lin Chen coming back to complain about his lack of loyalty in the future, Xue Ning in front of him could not offend him more.He touched the sachet on his body, and promised to enter the palace as soon as possible to talk with the princess and feel relieved.

However, just yesterday, he received a second letter from Lin Chen. The content was not long, but the tone was sombre that he had never seen before.

His Royal Highness Qiwu;

I have been recuperating in Shao'an City for the past few days, and many people have visited me.Both His Highness the Fourth Highness and Pavilion Master Su came once, as well as the comrades under Guiyan Peak who bathed in blood and killed the enemy together.

It is said that in the Twelve Orders of Langhuan in the past, Hengdao was in charge of the battle formation, and he helped our Yu Zhou army and made countless contributions.Thinking back to fighting side by side a few days ago, I felt that this life was worthwhile in just a few days.

Nine years ago the war was unfavorable. Although the Liao people were treacherous, it was actually our side who committed a traitor. In the end, Shao'an fell, and we had to abandon Youyun Sixteen Prefectures and retreat to Hanguan.

At the critical moment, Hengdao was in a place of suspicion, and he endured the injustice and humiliation with all his strength to defend the city.However, when the Liao people retreated, they encountered changes in their elbows and armpits. The city of Hanguan was once stained with green blood.Recently, I was surprised to learn the inside story by accident, and I don't know how to deal with it.

When I think of what you asked me when I was parting, I only understand the pain after experiencing it.

Bingyuan, I shouldn't have said so much in the letter, but I also thought that your Jingyu Guard and Langhuan are now supporting each other a lot. If there is still a misunderstanding between the two, wouldn't it be better to solve it as soon as possible?

After being injured, it was difficult for him to move, so he wanted to stay in the north and never return to Beijing.But Pavilion Master Su accused me of being so cowardly, and Fourth Highness also ordered me to return with the army.

My heart is very confused, Ping Yuan, I am no longer worthy to propose to the princess.This letter is incomprehensible, so burn it after you read it.

The envelope was tightly sealed, but the handwriting on the paper was somewhat smeared and scattered, which showed that Lin Chen was indeed in a state of confusion when writing.After Ning Wang spread the letter, he was stunned for a long time.He originally wanted to enter the palace yesterday.Had to drag on for an extra day to sort out my thoughts.

I still remember that on the eve of Lin Chen and the grain team going to the northern border, the two walked in Jingwang's mansion.I only learned the truth about the queen's murder at that time, and I was heartbroken for Rupin's betrayal.At that time, I asked, if the elders in the family caused the destruction of other people's families, how should they deal with it?

Nine years ago, the guard of Hanguan was Lin Chen's uncle Lin Huaitai. It was said that he died fighting hard to defend the Chengguan. Emperor Tianyi favored the Lin Mansion because of this. Sword Marquis.

Luo Pingyuan still remembered the rumors he heard in the palace when he was ten years old. After Beiliao retreated from Hanguan, the imperial court ordered Lang Huan, who was assisting the defense of the city, to return to Beijing for interrogation.Since then, there was no trust between the two sides, and the confrontation and conflict continued. The 17-year-old emperor brother was imprisoned in the Changning Palace. It is self-evident how difficult the situation is.Even today, after paying so much, Emperor Tianyi still doesn't have the slightest intention to rectify Langhuan's name.

Hanguan City was once stained with green blood.What kind of role did Lin Huaitai, the guard who was considered to have died in battle, play? It made Lin Chen so painful after knowing about it, but he still wanted to write a letter to ease his relationship with the emperor.He thought of Ding Jianhou's avoidance of King Jing; as a general, he always strongly opposed Lin Chen's participation in the war in the northern border; not to mention his secret support for the prince.

Brother Sihuang and Pavilion Master Su should have been in love for a long time. Perhaps because they wanted Lin Chen to know all this, they agreed to let him stay and join the war, just like Chai Ming asked himself to ask Yubo alone.

Luo Pingyuan suppressed his surging thoughts. He had already written a reply to Lin Chen, but to be cautious, he just comforted his friend to heal his wounds first, and the future will be long. We will talk about everything when we return to Los Angeles; and let him not underestimate himself and let him down Missing loved ones.

It is inappropriate to directly mention Xue Ning in the letter. I believe Lin Chen can understand such a statement.When he returns, maybe we can really have a long talk without hiding our true thoughts.The elders who committed the unforgivable crimes are no longer alive, and both of them are also suffering from guilt.

After thinking about it, I have arrived at Lanting Palace, and now that Concubine Rong is in charge of the harem, there are more concubines coming and going here.Luo Pingyuan didn't go in, but asked the servant who was guarding outside to report.

Not long after, Princess Danyang came out of the palace gate with light steps. The lake-colored dress was embroidered with peach petals falling with the water. When she saw King Ning, she feigned anger and said: "The rare visitor is here, and the plum is shining, Xue Ning is really touched that His Highness the Fifth Highness still remembers to take time out to visit my younger sister despite her busy schedule."

If it was an ordinary day, when Luo Pingyuan saw her clothes, he would definitely reply with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, but the emperor's sister is still full of flowers, a kind of lovesickness, two places of worry?" Blocked Xue Ning until her face flushed, and she couldn't care less about being moved.But the letter he received yesterday still fell heavily in his heart. Lin Chen actually said that he wanted to stay and guard the border and would not return to Beijing, and that he was no longer good enough for Xue Ning.A few short words reveal a sense of despondency, and there is actually a kind of farewell meaning.No matter how sinful Lin Huaitai was, Lin Chen was only ten years old like himself at the time, why was he so depressed?Or do you have other unsolved concerns?

It's not appropriate to think too much at this moment, Xue Ning's sense is very sensitive, he smiled randomly: "Don't be annoyed, sister, there have been a lot of things recently, don't you think you are here to make amends for brother? Let's go, I will show you the guy's letter, I knew it wasn't my fault."

This phrase also worked, when it came to reading the letter, Princess Danyang's face was dimpled, and the anger disappeared by seven points: "Brother Wuhuang, you really are, how can you help others to bully me, and who are you targeting!" He took his arm and said with a smile, "It seems that you have a good attitude of admitting your mistakes. I will make a note of this princess for now, and I don't care about you. I am bored and bored, let's go for a walk together."

Xue Ning is only 16 years old, sometimes she is really cute and naive.Luo Pingyuan smiled and nodded, saying that he was going for a walk, and what both of them thought of was the Fengwan Pavilion in the imperial garden.

The Fengwan Pavilion was still quiet, when the Fifth Highness and the princess came, a small copper stove was placed in the pavilion, and silver frost charcoal was burning inside.

Of course, yesterday's letter could not be taken out, what Luo Pingyuan took out was Lin Chen's first long letter.He thought that the girl wouldn't pay much attention to the process of the battle, but Xue Ning read every page with great concentration, and couldn't help frowning when she saw the fierce fighting on the battlefield, as if she was actually there.

He couldn't help but a smile rose in his heart, and he felt a little pity.It’s been four or five months, and I’ve only been waiting for this news for a long time, so I cherish every word, and I’m reluctant to finish reading it, so I have to read it carefully for a while.

When Lin Chen returned to Los Angeles, he had to try to persuade him, and if he couldn't do it, he would fight. In short, he had to cheer him up and stop being disheartened.

Princess Danyang did not know that the calm brother of his own family was pondering that she wanted to beat her intentions. She had read the end of the letter and was fully put on the narrative of the injury.

"Sure enough, I have injured my shoulder and broken my leg, and you are still trying to be a hero without letting me know, you idiot." She whispered, "Brother Wuhuang, why am I so angry?"

If it wasn't for something on his mind, Luo Pingyuan could not help laughing: "Well, he should be afraid that you will be distressed and worried, but he would have thought that he would anger the princess instead. It seems that even if he recovers from his injuries on the way and comes back intact, Lin Chen will be in great trouble It's coming, it's really hard."

"Who said I would be distressed and worried, and think so beautifully every day." Luo Xuening blushed, "The most I am worried about is that he will fall off his horse and accidentally drop his head to make him even more stupid. I only confessed these two sentences in total. , Brother Wuhuang, do you know whether his injuries are serious or not, and where else has he been injured?"

"I've asked both Dingjianhou's mansion and the messengers from the northern border. There should be only two. The shoulder injury has healed a lot. Because the leg is injured, it needs to be recuperated for three months, so I can only lie down all the way. Come back. But I think with Lin Chen's physical condition, when he arrives in Luo City, he should be able to be alive and kicking." Luo Pingyuan said, knowing that Luo Xuening actually cared, so he didn't tease her anymore.

"Three months." Luo Xuening whispered to herself, and then asked again, "I heard that brother Sihuang has sent an order to the teacher a few days ago, how long do you think they will have to travel to get to the capital? I don't know what's wrong, I thought I would feel at ease when I heard the news, but right now my heart is still in chaos."

"The army has a lot of food and supplies, and it will take a month to go. But don't worry, Lin Chen is safe. What do you think will happen to him with the army? Someone will take care of him along the way." Luo Pingyuan comforted softly "Moreover, General Lin Shao has made a lot of military exploits this time, and the emperor will definitely promote him. You can rest assured and wait for the water to come to fruition, and stop thinking about it."

He suddenly remembered what King Jing asked him to pass on to him: "Brother Dahuang also wants me to tell you, if you encounter any trouble recently, don't panic, it will always get better."

Now that I think about this sentence again, the meaning seems to be different. What kind of thing is the emperor referring to?Or about Lin Chen, did he learn information that he didn't know yet?Thinking of this, the worry in Luo Pingyuan's heart deepened, but his expression didn't reveal anything, he just smiled.

Luo Xuening was still a little shy when she heard "it will come when it will happen", she just nodded slightly.Bamboo shadows whirled outside Fengwan Pavilion, and they were surrounded by warmth. She looked at the letter in her hand, as if she wanted to read it again, and she seemed to be reminiscing about the comfort of the two imperial brothers.Luo Pingyuan saw that there was still a hint of melancholy in her bright eyes, but a sweet smile appeared on her cheeks: "Yeah, I thought too much. Brother Wuhuang, I really don't want to annoy you right now." Yes, you and big brother treat me very well."
