Palace Scheming: the Queen In the Cold Palace I

Chapter 29 Beauty is as vicious as a needle (2)

"I also ask your Majesty to trust Wei Chen. Please also ask Your Majesty not to interrupt Wei Chen." Hua Heng looked unhappy. Even the emperor was dissatisfied: "The reason why Wei Chen does not allow others to stand aside when performing acupuncture is that it requires a lot of effort. The acupuncture technique is concentrated and fast without being affected by any external force. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to use the head on his neck as a guarantee. After Weichen's silver needle is applied, the golden needle will definitely swim out automatically in half an hour. ”

 As a medical practitioner, you should avoid being interrupted by others for no reason when performing acupuncture. Otherwise, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

"Well, I will wait for you for another half hour." Realizing that he had almost missed his mission, the emperor didn't pay attention to his tone. He just touched his nose in embarrassment and kept a certain distance!

 After all, he is not a royal doctor. Apart from knowing some martial arts acupuncture points, he is not proficient in anything else.

The reason why I interrupted Hua Heng was just to hope that he would proceed with caution to ensure that Yunqing would be safe. Otherwise, as he said, if Hua Heng failed to govern Yunqing, he would not spare him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hua Heng took a deep breath, then gently pulled out the queen's hair, visually checked the acupuncture points, then stretched out his right hand to prick, and the slender silver needle penetrated deeply into the queen's head...

Outside the palace, the Queen Mother's tea cup was filled with hot tea and then cooled down, but there was still no movement inside the palace, which made people extremely anxious.

"Queen Mother, it's getting late, why don't Fangfei accompany you back to the palace first?" The atmosphere outside the palace was no less relaxed than inside the palace, including Duan Qingming, the waiter of the Ministry of War, who was originally staying outside the palace, Murong Qian, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and those who were ordered to leave today. Murong Chong and the others who were assigned by the Queen Mother to protect the Empress were still waiting respectfully outside the palace.

But He Ruowan's face was extremely ugly, alternating between green and white, like a ghost.

Just because she had accumulated a lot of anger this morning and couldn't express it, she was extremely upset and uneasy. She wanted to leave with a flourish, but because of the Queen Mother, she didn't dare to go first.

Although the emperor had just said that he should leave first, she didn't think it was okay. The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.

With no other choice, she could only torture her poor embroidered handkerchief under her sleeves, treating it like a woman lying inside, and tearing it apart fiercely.

 Xuanyuan Moyu was worried in his heart and feared that his performance today was too abnormal and the woman would see some clues, so he excused himself from being bored and went to the hall corridor to breathe alone.

 Except for Xuanyuan Yi, whose expression was relatively calm, everyone else's expressions were not very good. Among these people, Imperial Physician Fu was the most worried.

I could see that he was sweating continuously on his forehead. Although he was standing still, his face was pale, and his body seemed to be shaking a little unsteadily.

Of course, to put it nicely, he was worried about whether he could successfully remove the needle from the queen's body. In fact, the most important thing is to worry about his future fate.

"That's fine. The Ai family will go back to the palace first and wait for the news. Xiao Taohong, remember that as soon as there is news about the Queen, she will come to Xiangning Palace as soon as possible." I wanted to wait until there is news about Yunqing before returning, but at this moment, Xuanyuan Yi shot the beam Under the cold gaze, Situ Xianyu felt sad in her heart and nodded leisurely.

She saw that Yi'er's eyes were like a pair of sharp blades, looking at her indifferently. Although he did not speak, the rejection in his eyes was clear.

"Yes! Xiao Taohong understands." Xiao Taohong, who had always looked worried, heard the Queen Mother's instructions and hurriedly bowed her head respectfully and responded.

When everyone saw the Empress Dowager driving back to the palace, they all stood up to see her off, but Xuanyuan Yi remained calm, as if he hadn't seen her.

"Queen Mother, let me take you back to the palace." He Ruowan, who had been left out for a long time, no longer wanted to stay here. Now seeing that the Queen Mother was going back to the palace, she hurriedly stood up and saluted, walked to the Queen Mother, and wanted to leave together with a smile on her face. .

“Mr. Hua is here!” Bi Tao’s cry of surprise made everyone turn around and look at Hua Heng who had just opened the curtain and walked out.

"Hua Aiqing, has the needle been removed from the Queen's body?" The Queen Mother turned to look at Hua Heng who looked tired, her eyes full of concern.

"Back to the Queen Mother, this thing has been taken out. Your Majesty is already sleeping peacefully. She only needs to take good care of herself for a while, and she will be fine." Hua Heng raised a small gold needle wrapped in white silk in his hand, causing Duan Qingming and others to immediately look at him. When it lit up, I was very surprised.

"The Queen is really a good person, Hua Aiqing, thank you for your hard work." The Queen Mother looked happy and her heart slowly relaxed.

"I don't dare, this is my responsibility." Hua Heng lowered his head with extreme respect.

"Empress, I still have some important matters to discuss with them. Now that Yun Qing is fine, please return to the palace to rest early!" Xuanyuan Ze also walked out of the palace and took the lead to send the Queen Mother back to the palace.

"Okay, Yun Qing is fine, and the Ai family can rest assured. Ze'er, remember to take good care of Yun Qing. This child will not be easy for you!" Before leaving, Situ Xianyu made a special confession, which made Xuanyuan Ze's heart skip a beat. It's the default.

Xuanyuan Moyu, who was about to come in from outside the hall, happened to hear this. His handsome eyebrows relaxed slightly, and he quickly disappeared in the corridor of the hall.

"Qing Ming, the three of you will go with me to the imperial study to discuss matters. Hua Heng, you will come too. Fu Ming, you stay. When the queen wakes up, you can quickly send someone to inform me." After the queen mother left, the emperor He took Duan Qingming and others to the imperial study room to discuss matters, but was stopped by He Ruowan tremblingly.

Turning back and looking at her in thin clothes chasing after him, Xuanyuan Ze remembered that he had been a little indifferent to her today, and his heart softened. He softened his tone and said, "Wan'er, I still have something to discuss with some of my beloved ladies. You Let’s go back to the palace to rest early! Xiao Lezi, please send Concubine Hua back to the palace!”

 Then without waiting for He Ruowan to say anything, he led Duan Qingming and others in a hurry to the imperial study.

"Mother, please!" Chang Le led the way in front of He Ruowan with great respect.

With her beautiful eyes fixed on the tall figure who was leaving decisively, He Ruowan finally made a noise and tore the silk handkerchief in two pieces, which shocked Chang Le.

Ning'er on the side immediately stepped forward to put on the cloak for He Ruowan, winked secretly at her, and comforted her softly: "Mother, let's go back."

So, only Xuanyuan Yi and Fu Ming were left in the Ruoda Golden Phoenix Palace.

"Thank you, Imperial Physician Fu. I'm the first to go ahead. The Queen will trouble the Imperial Physician." Xuanyuan Yi saw Yun Qing who had fallen asleep peacefully coming out of the palace. He gave orders to Fu Ming and left the hall.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, my lord, go slowly." Fu Ming responded subconsciously. When he realized that King Anqing, who never talked much to outsiders, actually took the initiative to comfort him, he felt a little flattered.

Xuanyuan Yi had disappeared, and he felt soft all over. He wiped his sweat with great ease and breathed a sigh of relief.

 That night, under the careful care of Bi Tao and Xiao Taohong, Yun Qing woke up once.

Fu Ming, who was waiting outside the hall, heard the sound and quickly asked someone to heat the fried medicine and bring it in for Yunqing to take. Seeing that she was still weak, he felt a little worried and took her pulse again. He found that the weakness was only caused by the injury to her chest and had nothing to do with the previous golden needle.

After taking the medicine, Yun Qing only had a hazy consciousness. Seeing Bitao and Xiaotao's red and swollen eyes, she couldn't help but smiled and asked them to go to sleep. With the comfort of the two insisting that they would go to bed when she fell asleep, she His eyelids heavy, he fell asleep again.

This sleep was very deep and long.

It seemed like someone came in from time to time to take her pulse, and someone occasionally fed her some bitter concoction.

Several times, she spit out the concoction unconsciously and couldn't drink it at all; she only felt the burning pain in her chest, which became increasingly uncomfortable.

I don’t know how long it took, but she felt that the pain in her chest gradually eased, but it was still very stuffy and hot, and her head felt heavy. There are always many figures swaying and noisy in front of me, as if they are in Yun Mansion or in front of the imperial mausoleum.

She wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn't open them no matter how hard she tried. Her whole body was so hot from this inexplicable impatience that she felt like she was about to burn.

 A kind of edge between wakefulness and coma, making it impossible for her to tell whether she was awake or hallucinating...

 After that, under the influence of the drug, her consciousness sank again, and the surroundings became quiet and there was no sound at all.

　　咣!

“What the **** is going on? It’s been three days and I still haven’t woken up! Fu Ming, what on earth do you do as an imperial doctor?”

With a bang, the blue and white porcelain cup on the table was swept down with one hand. The angry voice was accompanied by a breath of rage. Except for the person who was sleeping on the bed, everyone else was so frightened that their legs shook and they quickly knelt down.

"Back to the Emperor, the golden needle that the Queen was hit by earlier is very powerful. Although it has been taken out, the remaining medicinal power still controls the Queen's body, so a short-term coma is inevitable. In addition, the Emperor's palm is not light, and she is an ordinary strong woman. If a man takes a hard blow, he may have to lie down for a while, not to mention..." Fu Ming lowered his head to the ground and reported the queen's condition to the emperor in a slightly trembling voice.

"Nonsense, if it's not difficult to cure, what use do I need from you imperial doctors?" He clenched his fists tightly, looking at Yun Qing who had not been awake for three days, Xuanyuan Ze hated his mistake at that time, and These imperial doctors are useless.

In the past two days, affairs between the DPRK and China have increased dramatically, the turmoil in the northwest has intensified, and the spread of the plague in the southeast has become more and more serious. Panic has been caused in the surrounding areas. If no solution can be found, the world will really be in chaos.

 So he had been extremely busy with court matters these past two days, and every time he came to see Yun Qing lying like this quietly, it made him even more depressed, and his mood became even worse.

"I'm scared! I know I'm guilty! I deserve to die!" Fu Ming, who thought he was unlucky, kowtowed his head. It wasn't until the emperor told him to get out that he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the palace.

“You two, get out of here too!” He glanced at Bitao and Xiaotaohong coldly. Seeing that they were still stuck here, he flicked his sleeves and drove them out.

"Damn it, why is it so hot?" He sat down beside Yun Qing's bed. When he saw the red blush on her face, he couldn't help but frown and put his hand on her forehead. He was jumped because it turned out to be hot. !

"Fu Ming!" The anger that had just been suppressed surged up again. Xuanyuan Ze roared. When he saw the person on the bed moving slightly, he realized that he was afraid of scaring her, so he had to suppress the anger a little. a little.

"The minister is here!" Fu Ming, who was frightened outside the palace, was frightened when he heard the sound and hurriedly ran in.

"What's going on? Why is the queen's body so hot?" He glared at Fu Ming, who was watching his face carefully. Xuanyuan Ze really wanted to abolish his position as an imperial physician and let him go home to farm the fields.

 The great royal physician actually treats people from bad to worse. Damn it, I really don’t know how he got into this position!

"Back to the emperor, the queen's heart was damaged and she took some nourishing medicine, so fever is a normal detoxification phenomenon and a sign of the queen's gradual recovery from internal injuries." Resisting the urge to reach out to wipe away the sweat, Fu Ming bowed slightly and explained in a low voice.

Seeing the emperor's slightly suspicious eyes, he hurriedly emphasized: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for decades and have studied countless medical books. I am very familiar with the queen's symptoms, and I will never dare to be careless or take it lightly. "

"I know, let's go out." Waving his hand, Xuanyuan Ze saw that an old doctor who had been practicing medicine for decades was so intimidated by him, and he also realized that he was really too angry these days.

 After confirming that Yun Qing's fever was not a bad thing, he felt relieved and his attitude became much softer.

However, Fu Ming couldn't adapt to the completely different people before and after him. He was stunned for a long time and saw that the emperor had turned around and took the queen's hand, and he suddenly woke up.

Fu Ming retreated as he was told, but Fu Ming was still frightened.

Thinking that the emperor's anger and tenderness just now were all because of the queen, I secretly guessed in my heart: It seems that the queen who has fallen out of favor has really done a good job in protecting her this time, and is a blessing in disguise.

"Alas!" Xuanyuan Ze sighed softly in his heart, and gently grabbed Yun Qing's slender hand. Looking at that very beautiful face, his handsome eyes could not help but be filled with doubts.

Why isn’t she awake yet? I have been in a coma for three days and my whole body is still so hot. It must be very painful.

　　What was she thinking? It was obvious that he was so indifferent to her and that he had been deliberately hurting her. Why did she risk her own life to save herself in a critical moment that day?

 Yunqing, Yunqing…

His handsome eyes softened, and he grasped her hand without realizing it.

I don’t know since when, he always thought of her inexplicably in his heart, thought of her strong and fearless eyes, thought of her indifferent face, thought of her clear eyes...

At that time, he couldn't help but want to come over to see if she woke up, but when he came to Jinfeng Palace, he always saw her sleeping.

 Yunqing! When will you wake up?

He really wanted to look at her clear and beautiful eyes again, with the brightness of the Lantern Festival night, and the inadvertent playfulness.

 “Your Majesty!” The sun is setting, spring is in full bloom, and the flowers in the imperial garden are already blooming quietly.

 Under the sunset, the flower body is covered with a layer of golden color. The breeze caressed the place, and there was a little spring light.

Xuanyuanze, who had just had dinner, was on his way to Jinfeng Palace to visit Yunqing when he was called by a charming voice.

 Turning back, under the setting sun not far away, a beautiful lady dressed in pink was looking forward to her with beautiful eyes, her figure was fluttering in the wind, and she was slowly walking towards him.

"Wan'er!" Xuanyuan Ze smiled slightly, looking at the soft and charming Wan'er, and then he remembered that he had not seen her for several days. It also made him feel deeply guilty that he almost forgot about Yun Qing.

"Your Majesty!" A soft call made He Ruowan's heart tremble, and all the resentments of the past two days also emerged, causing tears of grievance to well up in her beautiful eyes. She flew into Xuanyuan Ze's arms and cried softly. stand up.

"What's wrong, Wan'er?" Looking at the person in his arms who was trembling slightly, he subconsciously hugged her tightly and his voice was very soft.

"Your Majesty... Wuwu, I thought the Emperor had forgotten about me. For many days in a row, I couldn't even see the Emperor's face..." He Ruowan cried and acted coquettishly, and her body twisted slightly in Xuanyuan Ze's arms. , making him feel dazed, and an intoxicating fragrance poured into his nose.

"Wan'er, don't cry, it's my fault! Not only have I been busy dealing with important matters in the past two days, but I also have to investigate the mysterious Fox Palace where I was assassinated last time, so I don't have time to see you." Coax. Looking at her, Xuanyuan Ze held her face lovingly, wiped away her tears gently, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for a few days, Wan'er has become even more beautiful, I miss her very much."

"Your Majesty, you are evil!" She cried shyly and turned into a smile. When she was beating him with her head, He Ruowan raised a smile of success at the corner of her mouth. She deliberately leaned on him and rubbed his body with the softest part of a woman from time to time.

"Really, Wan'er didn't know about my badness until today?" He held up her delicate chin, raised the corners of his lips, and lowered his head to kiss her without hesitation. However, he felt a heavy weight on his neck, and a pair of jade arms like water snakes were firmly attached to her. Clinging to him firmly, his kiss turned into a deeper kiss, and she and He Ruowan were immediately pressed together.

 The fragrance of flowers around him mixed with the unique fragrance of He Ruowan, making his body feel inexplicably hot for a moment. Especially under the kiss that He Ruowan took the initiative to deepen, Xuanyuan Ze felt the blood in his body surge up, and he almost had the urge to want her immediately.

"Um... Your Majesty..." Accompanied by He Ruowan's tender call, Xuanyuan Ze's hands suddenly tightened, stopping the kiss. He Ruowan gasped and raised her misty beautiful eyes, only to see the cold and handsome look on the emperor's face. He was completely different from the one who had passionately kissed him just now.

"Wan'er, you look very attractive today!" However, just when He Ruowan thought she was being dazzled, she saw that Xuanyuan Ze had already opened his smile and his handsome eyes were charming.

"No way, it's just that the emperor has not been seen for a few days, which makes Wan'er miss him very much." Her cheeks were blushing, and He Ruowan lowered her eyes half-closed. Her shy look moved not only men but also women.

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Ze had already adjusted his mood, gently let go of her body, glanced at the wise palace maid waiting in the distance, and said with a smile: "Wan'er, can we have dinner?"

"Not yet. Your Majesty, why don't you go to Zhuhua Palace with your concubines for dinner? Your Majesty has not been to Zhuhua Palace for several days." The voice was soft, He Ruowan's charming eyes were seductive, and the profound meaning in it was even more fascinating. .

"Then Wan'er will go back to the palace for dinner first. I have already eaten, so I won't go." I thought Xuanyuan Ze would agree, but he actually refused directly, which shocked He Ruowan.

"Your Majesty, Wan'er..." Somewhat reluctantly, she wanted to get closer to him again, but Chang Le stepped forward in time and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Lord Duan and the others may have already arrived outside the Imperial Study Room to wait for the Emperor. ”

"Yes, I understand." Xuanyuanze responded lightly, smiled gently at He Ruowan, and comforted him: "I still have something to do, Wan'er should go back to the palace early!"

 Speaking, without waiting for He Ruowan to speak again, he turned around calmly and strode out of the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty..." He Ruowan called out. Xuanyuan Ze in front of him had his handsome eyebrows slightly twisted slightly, and when he turned around, he had a smile on his face: "Is there anything else wrong with Wan'er?"

All the courage was shattered by his indifferent voice. He Ruowan's beautiful eyes sank, and all the passion just now disappeared completely. In addition to sadness, there was disappointment in her eyes: "Your Majesty, Sister Queen has been ill for the past two days. The Queen Mother asked Wan Wan'er has taken over the upcoming election, so Wan'er wants to ask the emperor for his opinion: When is the most suitable date for the primary election? "

"Oh, since the queen mother has left this matter to Wan'er, then Wan'er will have to work harder. Wan'er can make her own decisions on such small matters as the primary election. When the queen is well in the future re-election, I can help you take care of it. ." Xuanyuan Ze replied directly without thinking. Then Juejie turned around and left as if he didn't see the frustration on He Ruowan's face.

"Your Majesty..." He Ruowan stared at his indifferent back and bit her lower lip tightly.

 impossible, she didn't believe that he could be so indifferent to her, how could it be like this?

No matter how busy he was in the past, he would never leave without caring about his own mood. He always tried his best to find ways to please himself.

But just now, he not only ignored himself, but when he mentioned the queen to himself, he actually wanted to wait for that woman to handle the draft together!

how so? Why did he change in such a short period of time? Could it be that once he takes charge personally, he will only care about world affairs and forget about his personal feelings for his children?

What's more, he was so preoccupied today, how could he not be moved at all...

"Your Majesty, this servant can't understand!" After leaving the imperial garden and seeing no one around, Chang Le dared to ask in a low voice.

He couldn't figure out what happened just now. He knew that the emperor loved Concubine Hua, but in the past two days, he saw that the emperor cared about the empress and had to visit her almost three times a day to feel relieved.
