Ruyi was pulled to the stairs and kneeled. The snow slammed on her face, like hitting the frozen skin. At first, it hurts, but gradually became numb. But for a moment, a thin ice formed on her clothes. Seeing Hailan being humiliated, she was angry for a moment, as if a wildfire jumped from her heart to her throat. She could no longer help saying, "Imperial Concubine, if you want to scold Hai Changzai or hit her, I have nothing to say. But Hai Changzai is the emperor's concubine, you can't humiliate her like this, especially in front of the servants. If Hai Changzai was really stripped of her clothes and searched, you would really force her to death!"

Hailan cried like a small trapped beast, struggling in vain. A Ruyi buckle on her neck had been pulled apart, revealing the silk-colored middle cloak. Concubine Hui just smiled casually and looked at the corridor with leisure, as if sitting under the stage watching a wonderful drama. She glanced at Ruyi contemptuously: "I also know that she can't hide the red charcoal on her body. But she can steal the charcoal, so she may not steal any other valuable things. Since she is a thief, don't be afraid of being shameless. If she can't think about it, she will force herself to death."

Seeing that she had no room for change, Ruyi struggled to get up. However, she was a person who was frozen and her hands and feet were completely out of control. When she stood up, she couldn't resist a gust of cold wind and was pressed down by someone.

The pain in her heart was approaching the tip of her tongue. She felt that her tongue was frozen, but the tears in her eyes were hot, and they were burning on her face and soon formed ice drops. Such pain was like the endless cold wind, with no end.

In the chaos, there were suddenly chewing and chess of chess outside, and a eunuch's announcement came in: "The emperor is here-the queen is here-the queen is here-"

My heart almost relaxed, and my whole body fell to the ground, and a hint of joy arose in my sorrow. He came, and he finally came.

Concubine Hui immediately raised her face and signaled everyone to stop the movements. A Ruo's eyes were quick and fast, and quickly took off her flowery jacket and put it on Ruyi's body.

The bright yellow color at the door flashed suddenly, and the emperor had already stepped in. The queen wore a robe with a robe with a blue background of smoke and clouds. Although she rested and got up again at night, her hair was still scattered, and she was wearing a few dark red agate-beaded hairpins. Although she was urgent, her expression was as quiet as deep water, and she was calm. Even the silk-woven tassels hanging from the hairpin only shook delicately with her steps, flashing with silver-green ripples.

Concubine Hui led the people to pick her up in the courtyard. When the emperor saw her, he hurriedly supported her: "When I heard that you had issued a cold certificate, I came over quickly." He held the Concubine's hand and said anxiously, "How is it? Does it matter?"

The queen followed behind her, calmly with some concern and anxiety: "The emperor was angry when he heard someone report that you had issued a cold syndrome, and he seemed to be anxious. Originally, the emperor had already fallen asleep, so he quickly ordered and came with me."

The emperor was anxious between his eyebrows and eyes and said, "Have the imperial physician seen him? How is it?"

Concubine Hui said in a sweet voice: "I thank the emperor and the queen for care. I lacked red charcoal here and didn't care about warming it for a while, which caused the cold symptoms. The imperial physician had already come to see it and said that I had damaged the yang energy due to the cold, which caused my body to be cold, vomiting clear water, causing the qi and blood to stagnate and run poorly, and thus the body was painful." Her body tilted and fell into the emperor's arms. "At this moment, I felt dizzy and tired, and my knees were sore." The emperor felt very distressed and said repeatedly: "Come here! Come and help the concubine in and sit down. Take a few more hand stoves to warm it."

Concubine Hui took two steps with Caizhu's hand, and her feet were floating and almost slipped. The emperor sighed and reached out to her and said, "I'll accompany you in."

The emperor was focused on Concubine Hui, and he seemed to have not seen Ruyi since he came in. Ruyi and Hailan stood wet under the eaves, and the cold wind rushed forward, like a steel knife slashing. Hailan was trembling all over and couldn't stand steadily. He could barely stand by being supported by Ruyi and A Ruo. The emperor was only concerned about talking to Concubine, but his eyes did not fall on Ruyi. Ruyi felt so sad that he felt that he was not standing or sitting, and he wanted to turn into an ice chip and freeze here and melt it immediately.

The emperor passed by the two of them and frowned slightly, "What are you doing here? Change your warm clothes. It's wet. Don't let the cold air pass by the imperial concubine later."

The queen said quietly: "Go. Let's go to Hailan's house to change clothes and see you again."

Ruyi knew that the emperor was still sympathetic, so she hurriedly led Hailan to retreat.

After entering the warm room, the emperor called the accompanying imperial physician: "Qilu, you are the magistrate of the Imperial Hospital and have been taking care of the imperial concubine's body. You should take a look for the imperial concubine quickly and don't suffer any symptoms."

Qilu hurriedly agreed to take the medicine bag for the pulse and put it on it for a moment: "The Imperial Concubine's cold syndrome is very mild, and she is angry again. I am afraid she will be well prepared for two days."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said pity: "In the past, your body was particularly weaker in winter. Why are you doing this today? How come you are so angry?"

Concubine Hui had tears in her eyes. She turned her head and wiped the corners of her eyes gently. She choked and said, "The unhappy Xianfu Palace is that I am not disciplined. I actually told the people in the palace that stealing is such a shameful thing. Hai Chang was stealing something else. I can't ignore the affection of my sisters for many years and give it to me. But it's the most indispensable red charcoal in winter."

The emperor was quite surprised and looked at the queen and asked, "What is Haichang stealing that?"

The queen sighed and said regretfully: "I'm afraid that only Hai Changzai and Wan agreed to a low position and could not use the red charcoal, so Hai Chang was confused for a while, right?"

Concubine Hui's long eyelashes were lightly hanging like a small feather fan, and tears seemed to be in her eyes: "Every time I was summoned to serve in bed, Mo Xin and the others always heard that Hai Chang was falling and beating the ground. I thought I would forget it, but this time I didn't expect that she was so vicious. I couldn't smell the smoke of black charcoal and always used red charcoal to keep warm. She stole my red charcoal from me and caused me to have a sudden cold test..." She coughed and stroked her forehead and said, "I can't stand it anymore. After the first trial, the people were caught, but Hai Chang still refused to admit it."

She was crying secretly. Ruyi had already changed into Hailan's clothes and brought Hailan in with her, saying, "How can Haichang recognize things you have never done before?"

Ruyi led Hailan to salute, but Hailan was still timid, like a frightened bird, trembling all over, huddled behind Ruyi.

The queen shook her head, and said in a tone that seemed unbelievable: "Why is Hai Changzhai so weak? " She looked at Ruyi, "Concubine Xian, I heard that you made a big fuss in Xianfu Palace and making noises freely. What's wrong?"

Ruyi bowed and said respectfully: "Reporting to the emperor, how dare I make noise? I just saw that Hai Chang was under the so-called "human stolen goods and captures", and I was still searched for her. I really had to argue for Hai Chang a few words. And if I was really noisy, how could I be thrown into ice water without saying a word?"

The emperor's eyes fell on them and said carelessly: "I've just drunk ginger soup, right? Don't bring cold air in."

Seeing that Hailan was just huddling behind her and did not even dare to raise her head, Ruyi said more and more pity and love, and replied: "Yes. I have drunk it, I dare not let the imperial concubine get cold. It's just the emperor..." She raised her head and looked at the emperor's cold face, "Emperor, although the imperial concubine found the red charcoal ash in the used charcoal ash in Haichang, Xiangyun also testified, but..."

The emperor's tone was faint, as if he was saying something very unimportant: "What's it? I remember that I told you last time when it was just cold, saying that Hai Changzai and Wanda could not use red charcoal in the palace, for fear that the black charcoal would smoke them. Wan promised that the position was really low, Hai Chang was there to ask you to give her something from her palace. I remember that I also told you that day, and this matter should not be made public, so that you would not be disturbed. You are too honest. The imperial concubine was so angry that you would not tell her."

Ruyi immediately understood the emperor's intention to defend himself, and said with a blaming face: "It's all my fault. I thought to myself that the emperor had told me not to say anything, so I specially reminded Sister Hailan. She was the same as me and didn't dare to say it and cause trouble, but I didn't expect to cause trouble."

The emperor's eyes only looked at the shocked imperial concubine, feeling distressed: "It turns out that Concubine Xian and the others are too stupid and don't know how to turn things around. The Concubine is weak, so how can they resist such anger?" He turned his head and told, "Wang Qin, remember to instruct the Interior Ministry. In the future, there is no need to tell the Interior Ministry to do this trouble. He immediately assigned the Interior Queen's Palace from Yangxin Palace to the Imperial Palace for use."

Concubine Hui's face was originally blushing and ugly, but she finally recovered after hearing this sentence. Yingying said, "Thank you for your care."

The emperor's tone was as gentle as the April wind: "Okay. Since I have been diagnosed with cold symptoms, why don't I take good care of it? Isn't I know that my body is the most important thing?"

Concubine Hui was still a little dissatisfied: "Although the emperor ordered Concubine Xian to take care of Hai Changzai in secret, Xiangyun clearly saw Hai Changzai stealing. Hai Changzai was in her..."

The emperor's tone was so light that there was no trace, but his tone was extremely gentle: "It's a trivial matter to put it bluntly. Is it important to have a concubine? As for Hailan, since she makes you angry, I will not allow her to live in Xianfu Palace."

Ruyi was happy when she heard this and quickly looked at Hailan behind her. There was a hint of blush on her pale face, but she just held Ruyi's sleeve tightly, as if she was holding a life-saving straw.

Concubine Hui said anxiously: "Forget theft, but it's all serious crimes in the palace. Did the emperor spare me easily? And Concubine Xian, who is so reckless and rude..."

The emperor smiled and said, "I've been beaten and punished. Concubine Xian and Hai Chang were all covered in ice water. Today's affairs, I have to clearly define rewards and punishments to relieve your anger and calm the matter." He turned around and asked, "Who is the witness of today's affairs?"

Xiangyun walked forward timidly, smiled half apart and said, "It's a slave."

The emperor did not raise his eyelids, and Wang Qin said, "He is the palace maid who serves Hai Chang's name, Xiangyun."

The emperor then glanced at her: "He looks pretty and his tongue is flexible. He can draw tonight's events, and this tongue is vivid."

Xiang Yunxi said, "Thank you for your praise from the emperor."

The emperor lowered his head, played with a piece of engraved jade pendant on his waist, and said carelessly: "Wang Qin, take her down and beat her to death with sticks."

Wang Qin was so scared that he quickly agreed: "Yes." He raised his face, and the little eunuchs understood and immediately dragged Xiangyun down. Xiangyun was so scared that he couldn't even beg for mercy, and was dragged out like a rag bag.

I heard dozens of screams outside, and gradually became weaker. A guard came in and reported: "Master, Xiangyun has been beaten to death."

Hailan shivered, and Ruyi only smiled happily, which soon made it fall into the corner of her lips.

The emperor nodded slightly, not caring: "He pulled out his tongue and hung it on the palace gate, so that all the palace servants in the palace can see what the consequences will be to provoke right and wrong and murder the master!"

Ruyi suddenly shook her eyes, and her eyes hit the emperor's quiet water in the abyss, and her heart felt warm. She seemed to be lost in the snowy field and saw the lights from afar and then she fell. The emperor's eyes immediately moved away, as if she was just so careless about her.

Concubine Hui was shocked and scared, and she couldn't help but start a cold war. The emperor tightened her cloak pity for her and said softly: "Don't be afraid! It's all the servants' fault. It's important that you keep your body warm."

Concubine Hui relaxed slightly under the emperor's comfort, gritted her teeth and said with a forced smile: "Yes. Such a gossip is not allowed to stay. If the emperor does not give up, I will kill her to serve as a warning. She just pulled out her tongue and was bleeding. Since she had been irritated with these red charcoals, she would fill it with some hot charcoal in her mouth, and at least leave a whole body for her."

The emperor stroked her hand with a lazy smile in his eyebrows and said, "Okay. Since you plead for her, leave a whole body for her." His eyes sank and looked around everyone, it was an unquestionable tone. "The example that the imperial concubine has set today must be kept in mind in the harem that no slave is allowed to provoke trouble or cause trouble. Otherwise, it was not the master's fault. I only ask you these tongues and mouths, and you can withstand the pain of pulling your tongue and burning your mouth!"

The palace people in the palace were so scared that they immediately knelt down and said, "It's Xiangyun who is causing trouble, and even the servants dare not."

The emperor felt a little tired and yawned, "Okay. It's late at night, you can rest early. I and the queen are going back to Yangxin Hall."

Everyone stood up quickly: "Give me a greeting to the emperor and to the queen."

The emperor took the queen's hand and stood a little while passing by Ruyi and Hailan. His eyes slid across Hailan without any temperature or emotion, as if he was just looking at a small piece of dust, which was not worth paying attention to: "If you live in Xianfu Palace, it will only make the imperial concubine angry. Let's live in another place."

Ruyi hurriedly said, "Emperor, Yanxi Palace is still empty..."

The emperor was a little impatient: "Then you should train the sea forever and don't cause so many things again."

Ruyi agreed, her heart relaxed, and she pulled Hailan and went out with her.

It was already late at night when he returned to Yanxi Palace. He settled Hailan in the back hall and invited the imperial physician to treat her. Ruyi returned to the bedroom for a while. Although he had already changed into a thick warm jacket and Ruyi held several hand stoves to keep warm, he still felt cold on his body, so he ordered the little palace maid to bring in a few more braziers to burn. The little girl Green Seed brought several large bowls of thick brown sugar ginger soup with Ruyi in a pine-patterned silver paint plate and fed Ruyi to drink it, and added a marten hood tightly for her. Ruyi took a bowl of it and squatted beside the brazier to keep warm: "Drink a bowl quickly and get rid of the wet and cold." A Ruo hurriedly raised her head and drank it. Ruyi also drank a lot of sweat. She couldn't help but sneeze a few times before she felt that her body was looser.

Wang Xin had already accompanied the imperial physician to see Hailan, and at this moment he came over and asked the imperial physician Xu to take Ruyi's pulse. The imperial physician Xu took out the purple purple pulse bag and put it under Ruyi's wrist, put a piece of white silk cloth on it, and called out "offend", and then he dared to put his fingers on Ruyi's wrist.

After a moment, Doctor Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "I am lucky that Empress Xian is strong. Su Xi is just a little cold. I will prescribe some prescriptions for fever and evacuation. As long as the Empress drinks medicine and ginger soup for a few days, keep warm, and then take a bath with more hot water boiled with ginger and mugwort leaves, it will be fine. But remember, you are not allowed to see the wind again these days."

Ruyi took the silk and pressed the stuffed nose, and said in a muffled voice: "Thank you, Imperial Doctor. What's wrong with Hai Chang?"

Doctor Xu shook his head, as if he was pondering.

Ruyi felt more uneasy and said, "Dr. Xu often comes and takes care of this palace. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it."

Doctor Xu thought about it again and said in a deep voice: "It is a trivial matter to be affected by cold and frightened. I prescribed a pill for Hai Changzai to drink and had already slept peacefully. Although the wind and cold are severe, it is fine to regulate it. What's important is Hai Changzai's foot injury."

Doctor Xu said: "Hai Changzai is the Yongquan point on the sole of the foot and is injured, so he is so weak and is as serious as a ill."

Ruyi said strangely: "Yongquan acupoint?"

Doctor Xu said in a deep voice: "Yes. Yongquan acupoint, also known as Dichong acupoint, is the first acupoint of the kidney meridian and the key to the intersection of the kidney meridian and the heart meridian. I have checked the sole of the little master's foot. The location of the Yongquan acupoint is a place severely damaged by thorns, which means that the person who started the attack specially picked this place. Once this acupoint is damaged, it means that the kidney meridian and the heart meridian are damaged at the same time, and there will be insomnia and fatigue, lack of energy, dizziness, anxiety, headache and palpitations. In addition, the little master is cold, which is really dangerous and dangerous."

Ruyi was shocked and felt her heart beating, and she hurriedly asked, "Imperial Doctor, is there any way to cure it?"

Doctor Xu pondered for a long time before saying, "I will carefully consider prescriptions to allow the cold air to leak out and the wound heal. I also asked the Empress to instruct the people who are always here to soak the Yongquan point on the foot in hot salt water every day. The hot water is suitable for adaptation, soak it for half an hour before going to bed. In addition, use moxibustion to smoke the Yongquan point at noon every day, once a day, and then the Yongquan point has a heat-sensing behavior. After the smoke is done, apply the Eurozoo fried with wine to protect it. After the wound is healed, massage it every day, but it is only necessary to find the effect."

Ruyi heard him explain the treatment in detail, and knew that there was still a way, so she felt a little relieved and her eyebrows relaxed: "Then Imperial Doctor Xu, Luhen, please send Imperial Doctor Xu out."

Doctor Xu left, Ruyi looked towards the back hall for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, little master, everything is ready. Hai Chang was taking Anshen Decoction and was already asleep at this moment. I think it was because of the continuous struggle and the person was exhausted. If you want to see her, you might as well wait until you have enough energy tomorrow."

Ruyi couldn't hide the tiredness between her eyebrows and eyes: "Okay. I'm tired, too, prepare for the placement."

Wang Xin agreed to go and serve him with hot soup. A Ruo patted Hailan's clothes that Ruyi had changed, full of anger that could not be suppressed, and the strength in her hands became louder, crackling. Ruyi was upset when she heard this, frowned and said, "What's the matter, the thick hands are loud?"

A Ruo said directly: "The little master is cold, I feel cold in my heart, and I feel even more angry. Who is Concubine Hui? When I was in the residence, I was shorter than the little master..."

Ruyi was unhappy and interrupted her, "Okay! Now it's now, don't talk about the past!"

A Ruo held her breath and said, "Now you dare to humiliate the little master like this. You must think of a way to not be wronged like this anymore."

Ruyi turned around and handed the soup cup in her hand to the little palace maid who was squatting on the ground to set off the fire: "Do you have to clean up, there is no need to put the brazier off."

The palace people retreated, and Wangxin stood quietly on the side, adding a calm fragrance to the green glazed incense burner on the table. The snow-colored smoke escaped from the mouth of the lion on the cover, and the warm and quiet fragrance lingered in the bedroom without a trace, emitting a calm and flying fragrance of calmness.

Ruyi pulled the enamel lid on the hand stove and whispered: "A Ruo, then according to your wishes, what should I do?"

A Ruo put the clothes he had taken on the rosewood hanger, his eyes flashed, and instantly lit up: "According to the meaning of a servant, it's easy to do! People live for a breath and trees live for a long time, you must fight back with this breath." She approached Ruyi and said with a heart-warming heart, "What are the little masters afraid of? You don't have to be afraid of anything! In terms of family background, Ulanara has been the queen of the central palace, and the lintel of the family is higher than that of Fucha, let alone she is the one who carries clothes and the imperial concubine? In terms of position, the concubine position is just one level away from that of the imperial concubine, and one day she will suddenly pass her. In terms of favor, the little master used to share the spring scenery with her. As long as he puts out some wrists to win over the emperor, the emperor will often come to Yanxi Palace."

Ruyi sipped the hot tea, rubbed her hands slowly, and said lightly: "Your words are good, everything is taken into account. But your eyes are too high, and you only see my strengths, but not my weaknesses."

A Ruo wondered: "Shorts?"

The heat from the stove rushes to the face, steaming the aroma of wax plums in the room, making people feel like they are in the sea of ​​flowers in April, and the spring is warm. However, outside the window is obviously a cold season, and the cold weather is counting on nine out of nine days. The situation in the palace will only be colder than this cold weather, and it will never be warm.

Ruyi was ecstatic for a moment and said calmly: "A person's strengths and advantages will only add icing on the cake and make her go higher. However, her weaknesses and shortcomings can pull her all the way to the abyss and then unable to get up. So I look at people, not at how high her strengths can lead her, but at how heavy her weaknesses will make her fall!"

A Ruo couldn't answer for a moment, so she had to ask: "Well, the little master, plan to keep holding on like this?"
To be continued...
