Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 216
The aroma gradually became stronger.My head was a little dizzy, and the blooming peonies in my eyes were also blurred, like starfish with strange shapes in the depths of the sea of ​​smog; and in the depths of the smog, at the end of the sea of ​​peonies was a huge flying dragon The dragon bed of the phoenix flag, and the figure of Dezong lying faintly in the gauze tent.

We huffed and knelt down according to the order of grades, quietly saying hello.

"Your Majesty, the children have all come to see you." Concubine Li said softly.

There was a slight cough, and an urgent gaze swept over us, and then an old voice came, "Ping body."

We raised our bodies slightly, Dezong coughed a few more times, Concubine Li comforted me softly, Concubine Dezong seemed to say a few words to Concubine Li, Concubine Li then smiled and said: "Your Majesty is going to rest, everyone kneel down .”

We got up and were about to file out, but we heard Concubine Li say: "Zhenjing, stay here for a while, I have something to say."

All the noble ladies glanced at me, Xuanyuan Shuyi seemed to be about to speak, but Concubine Li smiled and said: "Princess Shuyi, please go back and take care of the son-in-law first. The son-in-law has been waiting outside the palace for the past few days and has passed out several times. Your Majesty Also very worried."

There was a sneer in the eyes of the noble ladies, Xuanyuan Shuyi blushed slightly, and quickly walked out with her head bowed.

Yuan Feiyan glanced at me coldly.Jinxiu looked at Yuan Feiyan and Xuanyuan Shuyi with a sneer.In the end, I was alone, standing there with a black thread on my head.Why did you keep me?
Concubine Li gently waved to me, "Come here, Zhenjing, and help me support His Majesty, so that I can serve His Majesty to drink medicine."

I went over to help Concubine Li hold Dezong a little foolishly. Concubine Li was holding a glass cup in her hand, which contained a strange oily black liquid with a strong smell.It was only then that I realized that Dezong was not so thin and thin. He hadn't reached seventy yet, but his hands were almost like a thin tree trunk, and I couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

I tried my best to gently tuck the corner of the quilt for him, and Dezong finally calmed down his cough.

Dezong waved his hand to Concubine Li, and Concubine Li nodded.I helped Concubine Li remove the glazed cup, at this moment Dezong opened his eyes and looked at me for a long time.

"You are very similar to Ishtar." Dezong calmed down and looked at me kindly.

I looked at him in amazement, "Your Majesty has seen my mother?"

"Not only the appearance, but also the same kindness as her." Dezong smiled, "I admired the name of Gaochang spices and went to the Gaochang Palace to ask for Buddhist incense, so I saw you and the mother of Emperor Wu of Dali there. She really is a Buddha girl who can overwhelm the country and the city."

"May I ask Your Majesty who is my biological father?" I hesitated for a while, then continued to ask: "My mother, did she give birth to me and Jinxiu because she was bullied?"

Dezong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "Silly boy, how could you have such an idea? Yixiutar is such a beautiful woman, you came into this world with the blessing of the gods. No one can bear to hurt such a woman."

I thought of Duan Yuerong's purple pupils, and couldn't help being silent.Indeed, I came to this time and space because of Zifu's "blessing".

But I heard Dezong continue: "And your father is a beautiful man with amazing talents, and also a gentle and modest gentleman. He is a rare good man. He respects and loves your mother very much. It is a pity that he was born in I am the same as I am in a powerful family that eats people and does not spit out their bones. I only love making incense all my life, but I was born in the royal family. I have no choice but to watch my relatives die and flee. die abroad."

His face was full of sadness, probably thinking of the tragic death of the former queen and the deposed prince, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he closed his eyes in pain.

Just about to ask again, Concubine Li glanced at me, I shut my mouth in shock, and endured the super itchy stomach.

Concubine Li comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, please take a break. It's important to take care of yourself. We are about to recover the country, punish Dou Ni, and return to the capital."

"Kyoto City," Dezong slowly opened his eyes, and said in a daze, "the cherry blossoms in Yuyuantan should be in full bloom. In the past, Mr. Xiang always accompanied me to collect the cherry blossoms there for incense."

There was a strange light in his old eyes, full of longing for his hometown.He suddenly turned to the door and said, "Huh? Is it Mr. Xiang? You're here, and you've brought that cherry blossom handkerchief with you. Let's go pick cherry blossoms now."

Everyone in the hall looked back towards the door in horror.The sun was shining lightly into the Hall of Qingsi, and the smoke and dust were swaying under the bright light and shadow, but there was no one in the bright universe.

I was secretly startled.It was said by Qi Fang that the deposed prince and the former king and empress had no valuable burial objects when they were buried because they were guilty of crimes. In addition, Luzhou was severely affected by the epidemic, and the coffin was tense. Hastily wrapped in a broken mat and buried, the former king and queen accompanied only a cherry blossom handkerchief tightly held in the palm of their hand.

Concubine Li is worthy of being a noble lady in the palace who has experienced many changes. She quickly put away the horror in her eyes, but the wrinkled eyes shed tears sadly, and forced a smile: "Your Majesty, my sister and Fu'er have returned. The old capital is gone, I just thought I came to bid farewell to His Majesty and his concubines, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Dezong looked at Concubine Li, seemed to be slowly coming back to his senses, nodded in a daze and sadly, tears welled up in his old eyes.

After a while, Dezong stopped his sadness, and slowly shifted his eyes to me, "It's so strange, every time I see you, I think of many past events."

Concubine Li was also a little confused, "The same goes for the concubine, every time the concubine sees Zhenjing, she will think of Shuxiao."

She thought for a while and said softly: "Your Majesty, since Princess Zhenjing is a concubine and Your Majesty's adoptive daughter, and it happens that Mo Yin is not in the villa, why don't you ask Princess Zhenjing to stay in the palace for a few more days and be filial? How about accompanying the courtiers and concubines too?"

Dezong's gaze never left me, as if countless thoughts flashed through, and after a while, he said slowly: "My concubine is right, let Princess Zhenjing stay for a few more days, and talk to my concubine. , or let the prince rest for a while occasionally, and let Zhenjing serve him."

The palace attendant next to Concubine Li took me to the side of Shensi Palace, where I saw a young man in fine clothes, squatting on his hips, holding a round fan in the palace, vigorously fanning a small stove. Standing up, with a smoky face, he stared at us vigilantly, which startled me.The palace people bowed and slowly explained the decision of Concubine Li and the emperor.

"Oh, is it Hibiscus?" The prince looked at me with a dark face for a while, finally recognized me, and smiled at me, "You are very well dressed today, I didn't recognize you for a while."

I was thinking stupidly, as if a black man was grinning in the dark, his teeth were quite white!

The palace man on the side tried his best to hold back his laughter and told the whole story.

"Empress Li is still thoughtful." The prince sat back and continued to fan slowly, humming, "Why hasn't this medicine been prescribed yet? It must be that these slaves haven't added good charcoal, and the heat is not enough."

I sat down, thinking that he was also very tired, so I stretched out my hand and said: "I heard from the concubine Li that the prince has been working hard for the emperor for the past few days, why don't you let me take the place of the prince, so that the prince can take a rest .”

I took his round fan and took a look. It was a rather delicate hanging silk beauty round fan.The beauty in that painting is a little rich, with a pleasant smile, and looks a little familiar.But I didn't bother to take a closer look at that time, I just slapped one in a hurry, the wind was really low, no wonder the firepower was not enough, I saw a collection of poems on the side, and said politely: "Mujin, please sit here first, the prince Can I borrow this collection of poems?"

The prince may have thought that I was a good student at first, and wanted to borrow it to read, so he nodded with a smile and handed it over with both hands. I saw it was "The Book of Songs Daya".

I really couldn't see his black face, so I handed Supa with a smile. He looked at me inexplicably, and I pointed to the face. Then he understood, took it embarrassedly and moved it aside, stretching his waist. , wiped his face, and then sat aside and watched me fiddle.I ran to the upper air outlet, rolled the book into a ball, and blew it on the stove. Unexpectedly, the fire suddenly became a little bigger, and the prince jumped up in fright.

I hurriedly apologized, and finally comforted the prince to sit down, so I took the book instead of the round fan and fanned it vigorously for a while.

I peeked at the prince, and the prince was also frowning at me.I'm done thinking, probably my rude appearance offended the prince.

I lowered my eyes and said in a low voice: "Mujin is used to mountains and fields, just now he bumped into the prince, the prince must not blame him."

The prince frowned, and was about to speak with a forced smile, when suddenly I noticed a black object lightly falling onto the prince's purple gold crown. I took a closer look and saw that it was a scorpion with flowers in the middle of the black. I became nervous. Slowly stood up, rolled up the book in his hand, and walked towards the prince, "His Royal Highness..."

Unexpectedly, the prince interrupted me displeasedly: "Mu Jin, this collection of poems is my favorite."

I was stunned for a second, and the poisonous scorpion quietly crawled towards the Prince's side face, and quietly pointed its sting needle at the Prince's temple.I was sweating coldly, but the crown prince was still unaware of the poisonous scorpion, he just reached out and asked me for the book of poems: "I think Yuan Li is not gentle enough, why are you still ruining the gentleness like this, it's just wild!" ..."

He was still talking about whether I was virtuous enough, brutal and gentle. I swallowed, flattened the book, handed it to him slowly, pulled out a hairpin with one hand, and whispered: "Prince, don't you move."

Just when the prince was stunned for half a second, I shot out the hairpin, the silver light passed through the poisonous flower scorpion, and nailed it to the opposite pillar with a bang, the prince came back to his senses and sat down on the ground in fright , pale, with sweat on his forehead.

His hands were shaking, and he saw a black shadow flying towards the roof. It was too late for me to run out of the hall to chase it.

I was about to call out to the guards, but the crown prince grabbed my robe corner and shouted in a low voice: "Father has rested tonight, please don't disturb others. Father's illness has just improved, so as not to worry too much and make the illness worse Strong Shen Yan."

I suddenly had an idea, if I hadn't been retained today and met the crown prince, wouldn't 90% of the crown prince fall tonight, and the East Court would undergo great changes?Did Dezong have long expected that there would be assassins?Once the crown prince died, Dezong was gone, and the Wang family behind the crown princess was mainly clinging to the crown prince, so it was impossible for him to make such a murderous move.
