Chapter 27 Fire
The emperor waved his hand and signaled the people around him to go out. As soon as Li Yu brought up a warm towel, the emperor went there in person, trying to wipe her sweat. Yihuan unconsciously avoided his hand. The emperor was a little embarrassed, but he still reached out to wipe her and said warmly: "It's hot weather, why is it just a cold sweat?"
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Li Yu quickly stepped down. Yihuan's hands trembled a little, and she wanted to speak, and her eyes turned red first: "Your Majesty, is it true that you are good to me like this?"
There was a thin mist in the emperor's eyes, which made people unable to see the background: "Why do you ask such a good question?"
His tone was as warm as usual, and he could not hear any strangeness. Even Yihuan was confused. Could it be that what she knew was not true? So he simply asked: "Master, what is the low birth medicine you have given me over the years?"
The emperor took a folding fan on the table and slowly shook it: "Of course, the pill of the fetus is for you to have pregnancy, otherwise how could you have a child with me?"
Yihuan felt soft and then said, "But I asked someone to ask in private that those medicines are not fertilized medicines, but medicines that make people not pregnant after sleeping." She opened her confused eyes and said tremblingly: "Master, otherwise why would I have been pregnant after stopping the medicine intermittently? Every time I took it before, I never got pregnant?"
The emperor was lost for a moment, and Fang said lightly: "The words of traveling doctors outside are not worthy of trust. There are all imperial physicians in the palace. Is the imperial physicians not as good as their medical skills?"
It was just a moment of speechless stagnation, which had fallen into Yihuan's eyes. She shook her head desperately, and tears could not help but fall: "Your Majesty, I want to know. There are also famous doctors outside the palace, why are their mouthpieces different from those of the Imperial Hospital? In fact, since I was pregnant with the Tenth Prince, I have always been confused. Why did the fetal medicines have been repeatedly ineffective before, but they had a child after stopping the medicine? Why did the tenth Prince have kidney deficiency and weak body? Isn't it because taking the fetal medicine for a long time to harm my body?"
It was as if a roll of ice waves suddenly surging, and the emperor was speechless while shocked and cold. After a while, his sigh was like the autumn wind sweeping over the fallen leaves: "Shu Fei, why bother to follow the roots of some things? I thought too much, but it just suddenly increased my pain."
Yihuan staggered, as if shocked, but also unbelievable. "Follow the roots? It turns out that the emperor is also afraid that I will follow the roots!" Her tears rolled silently, mixed with deep sorrow and unspeakable hatred, "Then allow me to follow the roots again. The emperor has been falsely accusing me of me for many years and has repeatedly refused to be pregnant. Is it because of my origin in Yehenara?"
The emperor took the folding fan and landed heavily on the table, and his expression became a little more stern: "Shu Fei, who was instructed by me? Do you really don't know if I think I am? Even if the Empress Dowager recommended you to serve me that day, I can think you are ignorant, but for the sake of harmony and Rou Shu, the words you advised me to marry Mongolia will be revealed and the people behind you will be clear."
The pain in Yihuan's eyes was like broken ice floating with the waves. He had hurt himself before stabbing others. "The emperor decided that my concubine was the daughter of Yehenara and the Aisin Jueluo family, so he would be merciless and murdered the emperor? So he was so cautious about my concubine's taboos?"
The emperor said in a deep voice: "It's okay for Yehenara, I don't know that you are the one chosen by the Queen Mother to me and have always been by my side. What's your intention?"
The sun's light and shadow leaked into the window frame. The emperor's originally long back was pulled to the old elder, and it was slanted on the golden bricks. Her heart suddenly felt ache, and the pain was even better than the moment the child died in her arms. It seemed that all the accumulated wounds had completely cracked and were sprinkled with new salt.
Yihuan hugged his arm tightly, as if he couldn't hold it up, and said sadly: "Although the empress dowager chose to send it to the emperor, the empress dowager must carefully point out the emperor's preferences and dislikes. I can be with the emperor, and I am really grateful to the empress dowager. But even so, it does not mean that I will be pointed out by the empress dowager. My heart towards the emperor is true! Over the years, has the emperor not known?"
A trace of suspicion flashed in the emperor's eyes, and the smile on his lips was like a sharp sword, which made people feel cold. He chuckled softly: "The Queen Mother has been in the deep palace for many years. How could she train a woman who is sincere to me to accompany me and how to do things and speak for her? Not only you, but also Qingpin 7, Meipin, and even Jinpin sent by Fucha, it's just like that."
Yihuan's tears were frozen on her cheeks, she wiped them away, not caring about makeup, a touch of lip fat condensed under her chin, like a sad blood mark. She said hatefully: "What a great emperor, a scheming queen mother! You mother and son compete with each other, why did you pull me in? I was innocent and thought that I could be with my beloved man after being recommended by the queen mother and I could be with my beloved man, so sometimes I would like to say a few words to the queen mother and son. But I was only with you, but I was in vain for you to be a pawn for your mother and son to argue, ruining my life, and even my children could not be safe!" She stared at the emperor tightly, as if she wanted to find something from his heart, "Then, since you are so suspicious of the queen mother, you can abandon people like us like a waste. Why do you have to be so loving and look disgusting!"
"Disgusting?" The emperor changed his color and said frankly, "Don't you enjoy it in it and enjoy my favor? The Queen Mother likes me and loves you, so I will show her! Let her rest assured!" He said coldly, "Life is like a play, and everyone is just an actor who plays every show."
Yihuan was silent for a moment, and finally Qi Ran sneered. The laughter seemed to be covered with frost and snow on the ice lake, and it was cold and cold: "It turns out that all these years have been wrong! I am still in the dark, thinking that I am dedicated to the emperor, and the emperor always treats me a little sincerely. It turns out that I am wrong, all of them are wrong!"
In the snow-white and blurred tears, she looked at the auspicious beast with twelve carved ancient sandalwood, black wood, curly grass wrapped around her branches, and spitting pearls with large clusters of peonies on her head. The screen was carefully carved and hollowed out with the best black jade, and the branches and flowers, flowers, flowers and leaves were all lifelike. There was a couplet on both ends of the screen, which was a dark ink mixed with gold powder. A book called "harmony lasts forever" and a book called "Fragrant and good wishes". What a great blessing, as if the world is all smooth, the flowers are full and the moon is long, but it turns out that it is just a beautiful dream of the heart, and it is just a cold emptiness of the mirror flowers, water and moon.
The emperor's eyes were like a cold pool and an abyss, and there was a bottomless Chehan: "Shu Fei, you are wrong. Your fault is that you shouldn't explore the so-called truth. Many good things are unknown, so why do you need to ask me? Since you ask me and don't want me to lie to you, you are asking for trouble."
Yihuan felt her body light, and the emperor's voice seemed to be in a very distant place, floating and falling into his ears. Yihuan's whole body was trembling, as if she was greedy for the white snowflakes, and insisted on holding them in her hands for a long time. The snow melted, so she grabbed another hand, and it turned out to be cold to the top of her heart. She forced her to bless her blessing and smiled miserably: "What the emperor said is, it is my fault. I am guilty, but I shouldn't have. When the emperor returned from the tomb sacrifice that year, he fell in love with him. It is my concubine... it is my concubine's fault."
She turned around and left with a bland pace. Li Yuhou was by the door, looking at the emperor with some concern, and tentatively said: "Emperor..."
The emperor didn't care: "Forget it, this is what Shu Fei wants to hear, so don't pay attention to it. Just look at her and don't go to others to talk nonsense."
Yihuan didn't know how she returned to the spring rain. It seemed that her soul was still in the fangbi cluster, but her body was cruising back unknowingly. She sent away the palace maids who were attending her and locked herself in the palace and took out the emperor's imperial poems that had been copied over the years one by one.
After being around the emperor for many years, he has always received great favors. Yihuan is not a woman who is good at asking for favor. Although she knows her beauty, perhaps the emperor loves her beauty. But after so many years of day and night, he tolerated his straightforwardness and frankness, tolerated his coldness and arrogance, and always thought that he was a little sincere. For these sincerity, she also deeply loved him, admired his handsomeness, his talent, his grace, and the man above thousands of people, who could repay her deep favor with him, was behind him, and neatly copied the poems he had written for many years, and regarded them as treasures.
But it turns out that it is just living in lies and deception, tiring yourself and your children.
She smiled foolishly, lit the candles in the bright daylight, carefully sorted the stack of poems that had been carefully sorted out for many years, and even a little bit of disorganization had to be copied completely on the candlelight and started to burn. She lit one, and threw it, whether it was on the gauze tent or the curtain of the table.
Tears slid down turbulently, dripping on the burning paper, raising even more flames. She ignored the flames burning with her fingers that looked like spring onions, and looked at the black flames of fire butterflies flying all over the hall, with crystal tears on her face, and said sadly: "I just realized that she was wrong at that time, and her heart was sad. The red tears were hanging secretly, and the spring breeze was full of trouble. I knew that there was no plan to come, so I forced to say goodbye. After that, I parted with it, and the plow and the moon fell. " She smiled blankly, "I just realized that she was wrong at that time... they were all wrong! They were all wrong!"
She sang over and over again, as if she was singing about her drunken and dreamy life, and she was happy after parting.
When Ruyi learned the news of the fire, the palace and pavilion of Shuhe had already burned into a sea of fire. The palace people shouted desperately, pouring water into it with all available objects. However, the fire was too big, and it was midsummer, and even the water dragon seemed insignificant.
Li Yu directed the palace people, sweating all over his head, and stomped his feet in a hurry. When he saw Ruyi, he couldn't help but whimper: "Empress, how is this good?"
Ruyi asked anxiously: "Is there anything wrong with people? Where is Concubine Shu?"
Li Yu said with a sad face: "It was too late to find the fire-hitting ears. Empress Shu drove everyone outside early in the morning. When she came to put out the fire, there was no sound inside. I'm afraid..."
Ruyi felt very sad, and staggered, barely holding Rong Pei's hand and stood firmly and said, "Save people! Save people!"
Li Yu knelt down and said, "The Queen, I'm afraid it won't work. The fire is too big and no one can rush in. Moreover, this fire is probably burned by Concubine Shu himself. She is determined to die!"
There were clear tears winding down, and Ruyi said sadly: "Why did she suddenly seek death? Why?"
Li Yuqi Ai Ai said: "Before Shufei was burning herself, she rushed into Emperor Fangbicong Xun like crazy. The slave was guarding outside and could vaguely hear some fetal medicine and the empress dowager's instructions, and the other people around her didn't know."
Ruyi suddenly realized it, and her heart was filled with pain.
If such a strong woman knew the truth behind the bowl of fetal medicine, how could she survive and stay with the man?
Rong Pei said anxiously: "No matter what, I still have to save Concubine Shu. Empress, do you think so?"
Ruyi looked at the fires all over the sky and swallowed the palace. Her heart was like heavy rain, and she was as sad as if she was dead. She turned her head sadly: "No need."
Yihuan, this woman who was as clear as the ice of chalcedony, turned herself into a fiery fire, burning her heart with fire, leaving no room for herself and others.
In this world, which girl has never had the most beautiful spring heart? When she first entered the palace, her beautiful and beautiful appearance, her kind-hearted and beautiful life, she must have infinitely beautiful longing for the future life of the deep palace. The nine-five master who stands in the center of thousands of people will carry her hand and love her forever. She thinks that the city is full of flowers, but the spring scenery is old and the smoke is old, and the fallen flowers are cold.
Ruyi thought in a daze, and every step was hurt. As if millions of things were pouring out in her heart, endless sadness and wild horses that broke away from their reins crashed into their chests. The pain was swam down from their hearts and fell straight into their abdomen, like a cold snake spitting bright red cores, biting and biting. She bent down in pain and pressed her lower abdomen tightly. Unconsciously, there was blood dripping behind her. Until Rong Pei's scream suddenly sounded, she finally lost her last consciousness in the shock and pain.
When she woke up, it was already dawn. Ruyi was in a deep drowsy sleep. She felt that all the bodies were in pain. It seemed that countless people were calling her. Apart from the colic like falling from her abdomen, she could not use any strength.
At the end, the newborn cried, which made her gradually awaken. When she woke up, Hailan was already by her side, and she was happy and sad. She hugged the pink swaddle and showed a red face. She cried with joy: "Empress, is a princess."
On June 23, 18th year of Qianlong, Ruyi gave birth to the fifth daughter of the emperor. This was also the only princess who was born under the emperor after Princess Hejing. Perhaps the emperor had few daughters, and perhaps the death of the ten sons of the emperor half a month before the fifth princess was born. The emperor cherished the fifth princess very much and specially appointed the title "Heyi" early, giving it the meaning of "everything is right", and then gave it the nickname "Jingyi".
"Shi" is also a little female rhino. Whenever the emperor talks to Ruyi, he hopes that this young and delicate daughter is as healthy as a little rhino and can withstand all unexpected problems and diseases.
Although Ruyi was laughing, she felt it was unclear and said: "Zong Taizong of Tang loves Princess Jinyang, the youngest daughter born to Empress Changsun. The princess' nickname is also called Yizi, but unfortunately she was unable to raise it."
The emperor waved his hand and smiled heartily: "So, our daughter is Jing Yi. Jing Yi is so beautiful and transparent, strong and healthy." After saying that, he picked up Jing Yi and kissed him again. Jing Yi seemed to like such intimate behavior and smiled at the emperor.
The emperor was very happy: "I have so many children, only Jing Yi, she will smile so sweetly when I hold her."
The emperor was so happy that he completely forgot the spring rain and the spirit of burning himself to death in the fire. Such a strong woman could not even make a deep mark on the emperor's heart even if she died.
In the joy of giving birth to a daughter, I always feel the sadness of my lips and teeth. Because of the successive deaths of the Tenth Prince and Shu Fei, Ruyi will also give the reward of the silver to all the palace servants and the baby nanny who served the palace. Although the leader Madam Tian also smiled and mentioned the reward of the silver to Ruyi at half the time, Ruyi also said: "The Tenth Prince and Shu Fei passed away, and the happy events that should have been rewarded for you cannot be praised. This time I am wronged. If you have a concubine next time, you will definitely make up for you."
Madam Tian couldn't bear it, and she smiled and said, "No matter how much Concubine Shu is, she is just a concubine, how can she be more noble than the Empress? Even if she is gone, she cannot damage the Queen's joy of giving birth to the little princess."
Ruyi was regretting Shu Fei's death, and she was very impatient to hear this, so she lowered her face and said nothing.
In this way, Madam Tian wanted to capture her and make a clever way to tell something, but seeing Ruyi's expression was unhappy, she had to hide her resentment between her eyebrows and she had no words anymore.
Ruyi took advantage of the emperor's happiness and politely mentioned: "The emperor loves the princess so much, so I am naturally happy. But on the day the princess was born, the day when Shu Fei passed away, please ask the emperor to take the case of the princess and don't blame Shu Fei for committing suicide."
The emperor only cared about the small person in his arms and frowned slightly, "Since the queen pleads for mercy, I will be fine. It's just that such a arrogant woman burns the palace, which is really hateful."
Ruyi's heart twitched, barely maintaining the smile on her face: "The death of Shu Fei is probably too desperate."
The emperor's smile was cold at the corner of his mouth, and he immediately looked at her, his eyes slightly cold: "What does the queen mean?"
Ruyi's calm expression seemed impeccable under the scorching sunlight, and said, "Isn't Shu Fei despair in the loss of her beloved son?"
The emperor's smile was a little desolate: "It's a pity for the Tenth Prince." He lowered his head and saw Jing Yi's cute smile, he couldn't help but tease him, "But since you can't keep it, you have no fate, so you don't have to think about it."
Ruyi looked at the emperor's love for Jing Yi and was silent. The emperor wanted to spend more time with Ruyi and Jing Yi, but Li Yu invited him outside, saying that the ministers were waiting in the imperial study room and discussing the floods of Hongze Lake.
Ruyi vaguely knew that the water in Hongze Lake was overflowing, and the second gates of the Guibo Canal were broken, and the counties of Gaoyou and Baoying were severely flooded, so they did not dare to stop them at the moment, so they had to send the emperor out with great enthusiasm.
After the emperor left, Rong Pei put on a rainbow shadow cloak with snow gauze for Ruyi and quietly advised: "The emperor is in a good mood. Look how much the emperor loves the little princess, why bother to disappoint him at this time and mention Shufei's little master?"
A little spark flashed through Ruyi's eyes, and then she felt sad: "If I don't mention it, no one in the harem will dare to mention it anymore. After you see Shu Fei passing by, the emperor has never mentioned her, just pretend that there is no such person." A trace of doubt was condensed in her eyebrows, "It's just that I have always been confused. Li Yu said that before Shu Fei burned herself, she broke into Fangbicon and mentioned the emperor about the fetal medicine. I also learned about this incident by chance. Obviously, the emperor has always been unwilling to be arrogant, so how can Shu Fei know?"
Rong Pei's eyes turned, and she lowered her eyebrows and looked down: "I accidentally learned that before Concubine Shu went to Fangbicon that day, she had arrived in front of the Tenth Prince's Codon. What she said..." Her voice became lower and lower, "Concubine Ling has been there too."
Ruyi's thin eyebrows flipped, like curled snails, and immediately became alert: "What are she going to do?"
Rong Pei pursed her lips and said, "Empress thinks so too? I always feel that Concubine Ling's little master is unstable and difficult to grasp. Many things may not be able to catch what she did, but there is always a suspicious figure that makes people feel uneasy."
Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So you are the same as I think. In this way, after dinner, you can go to Wanchunxuan to have a look. Don't go to Yang Yang for now, and find Concubine Ling to come over."
Rong Pei hurriedly responded: "Yes. I will do it more concealedly. But the Empress doesn't have to worry about anything. Now that the Empress has both children and the Emperor treats you like this, your position in the central palace is as stable as a rock, and you will be whoever you want to deal with."
In the gilded Boshan stove on the table, the fragrance is thin and as thin as the floating clouds in the sky. Many things, clearly seem to be right in front of you, are really unpredictable and difficult to grasp. Ruyi's smile seems to be the waves scooped up from the bottom of the well, not clear enough, with the greasy moss and the shaking shadows of the waves: "Rong Pei, do you think the emperor is very good to treat this palace?"
Rong Pei smiled and said, "No, it's not? The one who the emperor comes the most is here."
Ruyi smiled slightly and said, "When did Empress Xiaoxian turn around, Concubine Jia turn around, Concubine Shu turn around. But later, it became a mirror and a water moon. I always thought that what I thought I got was beautiful, was it just a dream without trace? Or just like this, Rong Pei, I got the same eyebrows. I was also uneasy in my heart."
Rong Pei frowned and said in confusion: "It's hard to calm down? What's wrong with the Empress?"
