Chapter 28
Chapter 28
The white jade bowl was shattered all over the ground, with brown medicine dregs, exuding a strong bitter smell. The emperor stepped on the fragments without saying a word, and the imperial physicians were kneeling on the ground with their heads lower than each other. If they could be buried under the floor tiles It is estimated that they have already dug deep pits one after another on the floor tiles.
"Gu Chen!" The emperor called his name: "Go!"
Gu Chen, who was called by name, stood up, looking at the white jade bowl with tea dregs, his eyes darkened.
I heard from Yunran that there was a lot of trouble in Tanyue Pavilion, and there were even several fights, many people were killed and injured, and even innocent people in the local area were implicated. If there is no way to deal with it, the situation will only get worse. The more serious it is, even riots will occur!Not to mention, the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have become more and more lawless because Tanyue Pavilion has no time to come forward to control them. Not only do [-]% of the commercial tax come up, but they even confuse the local people and win the support of the people. Since ancient times, tax increases have been considered a big trouble The people are already resistant, and if they are bewitched again, there will be no way to end it!
At this time, the emperor was in a state of distress, and all his anger was poured out on the imperial doctors, as if it was all because of their incompetence that they were in such an embarrassing situation.The imperial physicians are more miserable than each other, but the only fortunate thing is that although they are scolded, as long as Yaogu Guchen is here, the person who is responsible for the blame will be ready.
While pretending to take Yunran's pulse under the gaze of the emperor, Gu Chen quietly forced three points of internal energy into Yunran's body, no more, no less, just enough for her to vomit what was hidden in her internal organs congestion.Sure enough, as soon as Gu Chen raised his hand, there was movement from Yun Ran's side. Before Gu Chen could get up, he heard Yun Ran cough twice. She knew that this person would definitely vomit blood when he woke up, so she was hesitant to want it or not. Prepare a small handkerchief or something, but before I can think about it, the anxious emperor pushes it away.
"Ran'er, Ran'er, how are you?" It could be seen that the emperor was really anxious.
Gu Chen stood firm on the side, touched his nose, turned his face away, and sure enough, after hearing a muffled cough, the emperor shouted angrily: "Gu Chen!"
"Yes." Gu Chen agreed very smoothly, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw Yun Ran hiding behind the bed curtain, and winked mischievously at her. With the pale, dark yellow and terminally ill face that she specially painted, it was very cute. Weird, but also very cute.
The emperor's bright yellow dragon robe was already stained with a large amount of dark red blood. The mighty and domineering golden dragon has been stained beyond recognition by the blood, and it has become a little scarred and dejected. The majestic appearance before is There is nothing left, it looks like a defeated worm, funny and embarrassed.
"Why did the princess vomit blood?!" The emperor's hand was still stained with blood that he accidentally touched, and he didn't know where to put it when he raised his hand. The handkerchief wiped off the blood on the emperor's hands: "How did you..."
The angry words disappeared in Yunran's small movements, and the emperor turned around hurriedly, seeing Yunran's weak appearance when he was pulling his dragon robe, he quickly made a distressed gesture: "Is there anything Ran'er wants to say? Don't worry, I'm here, if you have anything to say, speak slowly, slowly."
Yun Ran squinted her eyes halfway. In fact, it was not time for her to speak yet. Gu Chen asked her to wait a little longer, and she would appear on the stage when the emperor was furious. She wanted to kneel on the ground and listen to the emperor's reprimand, but Yun Ran couldn't stand it anymore. She remembered that Gu Chen appeared in front of her in a fearless manner with a scent of wine all over his body, such a rebellious and unrestrained person Man, it shouldn't be like this!
It shouldn't be like this.Yunran closed her eyes, and a tear came out of the corner of her eye. She opened her eyes, with half of the tear still in her eye socket, and looked at the emperor with a slight smile: "I," she couldn't continue speaking, as if He didn't say anything, just moved his lips.
It all depended on the medicine that Gu Chen gave her the night before. Yunran never expected that the medicine would be so powerful. She didn't even bother to act like she was seriously ill and couldn't open her mouth. She is very conscious now. , but the words can't be completed, even if she opens her mouth forcefully, she can't even make a sound.
"You say, I listen."
Yunran touched under the pillow, took out a small rosewood box the size of a palm with great effort, and indicated with his eyes that it was for the emperor.Gu Chen knew that the thing must be unusual when he saw the emperor's expression, but Yunran never told her that there was such a trick, and it was not in their plan.
The emperor opened the small wooden box and looked at Yunran in shock: "You, Ran'er, what do you mean?"
"My mother left this thing for me, and she wanted me to use it to repay Your Majesty's kindness in nurturing me." After saying this, Yun Ran couldn't hold it anymore. She closed her eyes, as if trying to save enough to say the next sentence. Physical strength of words.
"Stand back!" The emperor held the small red sandalwood box tightly, turning around with a solemn and cold look.
What was in that box that made the emperor pay so much attention to it?Gu Chen followed behind the imperial doctor and walked out. Before he left, he turned around and saw Yun Ran looking at her, as if he had been looking at her for a long time, or as if he saw something else through her. When Gu Chen blinked, Yun Ran had already withdrawn her gaze, as if it was just her illusion.
Out of the inner hall, the imperial physicians lowered their hands and behaved in silence. Gu Chen looked around, bypassed the crowd and slipped to the uninhabited land. After observing the terrain, he jumped onto the roof, lay down on the roof and held his breath, Close your ears and listen to the voices of the people inside.
Gu Chen really has never climbed the roof of the palace. Fortunately, the palace where Yunran lives is located in a secluded location, surrounded by other tall palace buildings. Gu Chen's thin body is attached to the glazed tiles, which is not too much. Obviously, otherwise she would have been shot like a sieve before she heard a single word!
The glazed tiles were a little cold, and Gu Chen's brows became more and more wrinkled.
The small red sandalwood box was opened by the emperor, looking at the jade-colored token inside, he sighed after a long time: "What do you mean? I have never believed you."
It took a lot of energy for Yunran to feel that she could speak again. Gu Chen's medicine was really effective. With this feeling, if it wasn't for the heat in her heart, she would have started to doubt herself. If you really come here, maybe the next moment you can't catch your breath, you will really go to see Lord Yan?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has taught and nurtured Yunran carefully. This kindness is as heavy as a mountain." Yunran felt a little itchy throat, and coughed twice again. Sure enough, when she heard her cough, the emperor immediately became nervous, and she adjusted her breathing. Try to use a calm tone and continue to say: "But I, I can't help it, Yunran can't hold on anymore, I have to live up to your majesty's teachings."
"You will be fine." The emperor pinched the jade-colored token, and said words that he didn't know whether to comfort Yun Ran or himself.
Yun Ran shook her head lightly: "It won't get better, I know my body, and it won't get better. Your Majesty, I entrust the Moon Exploration Order to Your Majesty." Yun Ran looked at the token in the emperor's hand, With a bit of relief in his eyes: "This thing is like a big stone that weighs on my heart. If I have it for a day, I won't be able to take a good breath. Now, it's finally time. I beg your Majesty, Your Majesty, have mercy, I, I don't have that much ability, I'm just a boudoir girl, and my biggest wish in this life is to find someone who loves me so that I can spend this life in peace."
Yunran closed her eyes when she said this, and the tears in the corners of her eyes became more and more obvious. She was really crying.
"But my life is too short, so short that I haven't even seen plum blossoms in winter throughout the year." Yunran's tone was a little bit disappointed, mixed with grievances: "How can I control such a huge flower? What about the moon-exploring Pavilion? Dragging a broken body, I, I-lian, ahem, I don’t even know that I can survive for a few more days, so how can I be loyal to His Majesty? This moon-exploring order was left by my mother. Your Majesty's relics originally wanted me to use orders to call on Tanyue Pavilion to serve the court with all my heart, but I, I did not do a good job, and I also failed His Majesty's expectations."
"Your Majesty, Yunran knows that my days are numbered." Yunran said as if he had exhausted all his energy: "I can no longer serve Your Majesty, only, only this thing, I hope it can continue my legacy , Yun Ran has no regrets in this life."
Clutching the cold piece of jade in his palm, the emperor frowned: "Ran'er, Ran'er, wake up. Imperial physician! Gu Chen!"
In a flash, she jumped down from the top of the roof, followed by the tense-looking imperial physicians, mixed in with her footsteps, but she didn't let go of her frown.She really couldn't understand why Yunran wanted to hand over the moon exploration order to the emperor. It was a token of the moon exploration pavilion. If there was no moon exploration order, wouldn't it be the same as giving up the moon exploration pavilion?
Yunran on the bed had already fallen asleep drowsily under the influence of the medicine. The imperial physicians took the pulse one by one, then exchanged glances with each other, and then shook their heads slightly, with helplessness in their eyes.When it was time to wait for Gu Chen, Gu Chen didn't go up to take a pulse, but directly raised his skirt and knelt in front of the emperor, saying bluntly: "If your majesty really cares about the princess, you shouldn't keep her in the palace anymore." , Even the capital should not stay any longer! The princess is at the end of her strength right now, if she can’t change to a warm, humid and livable place, then she will stay by force, and it won’t last for a few days. I hope His Majesty will allow Gu Chen to bring the princess back to Medicine Valley rest."
The emperor was silent, didn't speak, just looked down at the jade token in his hand.
Gu Chen guessed that he probably didn't expect that Yunran would directly hand over the Moon Exploration Token to him. He didn't know what to do for a while. It was the Moon Exploration Token. With this token, he could order the Moon Exploration Pavilion up and down. With this A moon exploration order, so Yunran is not so important to him?Is it possible to let go?
"What do the imperial physicians think?" The emperor finally spoke after a long time.
The imperial physicians who were questioned exchanged glances. Outsiders didn't know the emperor's control over the princess Yunran for so many years, but the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital were clean, and the emperor asked Gu Chen to take him out of him. within the scope of control?That is impossible!Even if the princess Yunran died, she would have to die in the hands of the emperor. How could it be possible for Gu Chen to take him to the medicine valley thousands of miles away?Who can guarantee that it will be life or death at that time?
"I don't think it's right. The medicine valley is really far away. With the princess' current condition, it's best, it's best not to go to such a far place to cultivate."
Gu Chen was annoyed: "You think it's wrong, then you should find a place! Medicine Valley is like spring all year round, and the climate is warm and pleasant, why is it wrong? Tell me, what place is better than Medicine Valley? suitable!"
"I-I don't know if Your Majesty still remembers Nanshan Bieyuan?" The imperial physician faced Gu Chen's question, and remembered what he had mentioned in a casual chat before, if the princess changed to a place where spirits gather, maybe the illness could be alleviated?Although it was just chatting that day, it's okay to try it now. If something really happened, it was Gu Chen's suggestion and it had nothing to do with them.
"Nanshan Bieyuan is close to mountains and rivers, and it is warm and suitable. There are hot springs in Nanshan directly entering the Bieyuan. I think it is more suitable for the princess to rest than Medicine Valley." The imperial doctor looked at the emperor's face: "Besides, Nanshan Bieyuan is not far from the capital. , if your majesty misses the princess, you can go and see it when you have time, and you don't have to go as far as the medicine valley, it's not convenient to meet people."
Gu Chen: "Hmph." He looked noncommittal.
The emperor pondered for a moment, looked at Yunran who was "ignorant of human affairs" on the bed, and then looked at the jade token in his hand, and when he raised his eyes again, he had already put the jade token into his palm, and made a decision: "In that case, let's tentatively decide Nanshan Bieyuan, you are going with the princess, the princess has some troubles, you don't have to come back to see me!"
Everyone left, Gu Chen sat by the bed, took a small handkerchief dipped in the liquid medicine, and wiped the powder on Yunran's face. A little bit of dark yellow, Yunran's face still had the same lifeless look.
Yun Ran felt itchy on his face, and when he woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Gu Chen's probing gaze, looking at her but didn't seem to be looking at her, Yun Ran panicked, and hurriedly tried to avoid Gu Chen's sight, but he knew later Jue realized that he had nowhere to hide, so he could only forcefully ask, "Why are you here?"
"Wait for you." Gu Chen put the small handkerchief aside, and asked directly: "Why did you give him the moon exploration order? What would you do if you gave him the order? How would you protect yourself?" Tan without the moon exploration order Is the Lord of the Moon Pavilion or the Lord of the Moon Exploration Pavilion?No, not only not, but her life is in danger. Who would want to see her continue to live?Live in the way?
Life and death, life and death, why is it so difficult for her to walk every step of the way?
