The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 63 The Oath
New Year.

When Yun Ruochen woke up, he stared at the strange tent on the top and stared silently for a while.

As soon as she lifted the quilt and made some movement, the brocade curtain outside the bed was gently raised, and several young maids called out: "Princess, are you up?"

This is the side hall of the Tsinghua Palace of the imperial concubine Duan.

Because of the accident that happened yesterday, the originally scheduled New Year's Eve event was also cancelled.Zhang Yuan and the heads of several major guards were busy investigating the spies in the palace, imprisoning the clans and arresting the Taoists.Concubine Duan Gui is also busy, but luckily she can find time to arrange Yun Ruochen and Concubine Huang to Qinghua Palace.

Concubine Huang is going to give birth in two months. First she ran around for a long time during the day, and then she was suddenly frightened, so she really needs to rest well.As for Yun Ruochen, his body has been weakened a lot since practicing the method, and he has to sleep to recover some vitality.

On the new year's day, she and Concubine Huang stayed quietly in Tsinghua Palace without going anywhere.

I heard that the old emperor still insisted on going to the grand court meeting on New Year's Day.What happened last night, if the emperor didn't show up this morning, the government and the people would be in chaos.

On New Year's Day, all officials came to court, and the emperor wanted to offer sacrifices to the heavens to tell the temple. There were so many activities, Yun Ruochen was really worried about whether the emperor would be able to hold on.Later, there was news from the palace that the emperor brought Prince Jing by his side to the Taimiao to worship heaven.

This news is of great significance to Yun Ruochen and Huang Fangfei.

Because this was the Yuan Qi Dynasty, the first time the emperor attended such a major event with an adult prince.

This meant that Emperor Yuan Qi had acquiesced that King Jing was his heir to the throne.Moreover, he also asked Prince Jing to perform part of the sacrificial ceremony on his behalf. This is actually not a hint, but an explicit statement.

"finally……"

Yun Ruochen, who had been sick since last night, finally showed a smile.Her hard work for the past six months has not been in vain... Her hard work is not enough to describe her devotion, okay? A real unsung hero?

Emperor Yuan Qi would make this decision, although it was unexpected by Yun Ruochen, it was reasonable after thinking about it.

After struggling back from the brink of life and death, the headstrong old man finally had to realize that he was dying and might die at any time.If no heir is determined, once he dies suddenly, Daqing will immediately fall into chaos.

Among the two sons, he must have weighed it.In the past, he didn't like Prince Jing's dullness and cowardice, so he turned a blind eye to Prince Cheng's various means to fight for the throne, and wanted to see it before talking.

After these incidents, Emperor Yuan Qi's evaluation of King Jing was different.

It's better to be dull than scheming, cowardly than ambitious, and besides, this son is not useless.Emperor Yuan Qi thought that the information that Gu Yuan handed over might have been obtained from Prince Jing, so this son must have done something in private...better than his brother who only knows how to drag his brother's hind legs.

"If I had known that the effect of the old emperor's serious illness would be so good, I would have done it myself."

Yun Ruochen thought very unkindly.

Apart from other things, part of the reason why Emperor Yuan Qi asked King Jing to salute on his behalf was also because the emperor himself was too sick to perform a series of cumbersome sacrificial activities.Although Prince Jing's body is average, he is a young man after all!
When Yun Ruochen woke up from deep contemplation, she realized that the side concubine Huang beside her was already beaming with joy, and she couldn't hide her overjoyed expression.

The lady official Lin who came to pass the news was also very knowledgeable, seeing that Prince Jing's family was about to make a comeback, she flattered Concubine Huang to every detail.

It's no wonder that the palace is in such a panic, yet all the food for the New Year is well-prepared.The female officials of Tsinghua Palace commanded the eunuchs to set up the New Year's Eve food on the table, including flat food, hot noodles, steamed cakes, and a special auspicious box for Chinese New Year.

Although Yun Ruochen had already eaten a full stomach of pastries when she woke up in the morning, her pursuit of delicious food is endless.

"Princess, this lucky box in our palace contains dried persimmons, round eyes, chestnuts, and ripe dates, which are quite different from those made outside. Would you like to try it?"

Lady Lin put a little bit of each dessert into Yun Ruochen's bowl with a charming smile. Yun Ruochen thanked her with a smile, and turned to ask Concubine Huang to use it first.

Concubine Huang accepted Yun Ruochen's respect with pleasure, and tasted the dessert with great interest, all the panic from last night was swept away.

"Ha ha……"

Yun Ruochen watched the subtle changes in Concubine Huang's attitude with cold eyes, and couldn't help but secretly sneered.

At the same time, there was also some vigilance.

She doesn't want to be an enemy of Concubine Huang, but who knows what will happen in the future.

This woman swells a little too fast...
-
When we returned to Prince Jing's mansion, it was already night.

Prince Jing did not go home with them, and was left in the palace to deal with various matters.Yun Ruochen was lying when she said she wasn't worried, but no matter how worried she was, she still couldn't stand up for Prince Jing in everything.

The one who wants to sit on the throne is always Prince Jing himself.Even if you stumble at the beginning, you will be able to adapt to this kind of life after all, right?

Yun Ruochen's body couldn't bear it any longer, so he dozed off frequently after changing his homely clothes, took a bath and freshened up, and got under the covers.This time, she slept very deeply, as if she was still dreaming.

In the dream, she regained her former appearance and age, but she still lived in this time and space, wandering from one town to another.

She looks at people, looks at the public, deduces fate, and is sometimes involved in some inexplicable fights, but she is always alone.

There were also people who pursued her, and those vague-faced men all wanted to keep her, or go on the road with her.She politely declined all of them.For other people's love, if she can't accept it, she will also treat the other person's heart kindly, but...

None of them were the one she wanted.

Later, they also began to be unwilling, and asked one after another, who do you want?That person doesn't exist at all, right?

No, no, she said, there really is this person, he...

He hides the most blazing emotions under the coldest appearance. He is a person who really knows love and is willing to give for love. He is handsome, mature, and has a pair of deep pools. A glance will suck people's souls into them. s eyes……

"Nie Shen..."

She called his name forgetfully in her dream.Compared with the cold "White Night", she prefers to call him that.Combining first and last names is like calling your childhood sweetheart who grew up with you, there is a touch of intimacy.

"Nie Shen, Nie Shen..."

"I am here."

Ok?
This dream is so real, she actually heard his voice... so happy...

"My lord, I'm here."

Another soft call awakened Yun Ruochen from his deep sleep.

She opened her eyes suddenly to find someone sitting on the edge of her bed.The next moment, she realized that her right hand was being held by a big warm hand, and a few traces of true energy were slowly entering her body from the acupuncture points on the palm.

"Nie...shen?"

In the darkness, she suddenly blushed, and the burning sensation went all the way to her ears.

"It's me. Princess, why did you hurt your hand? Also, the qi and blood in your meridians are too weak, I need to infuse you with more qi..."

As Nie Shen was talking, he suddenly said, "Hey, your heart beats so fast suddenly, did I lose too fast?"

"……Um."

Yun Ruochen bit his lip, feeling a little annoyed for some reason, pulled the corner of the quilt to cover his head.

He heard her calling him in his dream.

But his reaction—well, no reaction at all?Also, why would Nie Shen think too much?In his mind, she was just a little girl, even if she was called by his name in a dream, it was just a child's dependence on an adult... right?

She didn't ask him why he suddenly appeared in front of her bed, she just felt so depressed, so depressed, so depressed, depressed like never before.

Instead, it was Nie Shen who explained that he was worried about something unexpected happening to her in the palace yesterday, so he came here to take a look.Usually, Yun Ruochen would wake up as soon as he entered the room, so when he found Yun Ruochen was not awake today, he knew that there was something wrong with her body, and it really hurt her vitality.

Yun Ruochen silently allowed his true energy to flow through his meridians, and felt that he was too naive to sulk for no reason.

When Nie Shen finished losing her true energy, she sighed secretly in her heart, and gave up being angry with herself.No matter how depressed he was, he couldn't feel it.Why bother with yourself.

She briefly told Nie Shen what happened from last night to this morning.Nie Shen told her that he rushed back to the capital yesterday evening, but she had already entered the palace by then.

When there was a commotion outside the palace last night, he saw that the officers and soldiers were already preparing to suppress it, so he knew that Yun Ruochen had already taken action.

After that, he rushed to the vicinity of Prince Shu's mansion.

Hearing Nie Shen talk about King Shu's suicide and his confession before he died, Yun Ruochen was silent for a long time.

King Shu, to King Jing's family, is naturally a bad guy.What he did was a risk in the first place, and it was only his own fault that he got what he did today.

But in fact, he just wants to pursue his own ideals.This is how good fortune tricks people. Those who yearn for power are shackled to the identity of the idle clan; those who yearn for leisure have to fight for the ass-sucking dragon chair.

"...The damage to your meridian can't recover for a while, and you have to rest for a few days."

In Nie Shen's tone, there was a slight trace of reproach.

Yun Ruochen lowered his head: "Thank you for your hard work, Steward Nie. After this period is over, I shouldn't bother you for a while."

She was very upset.I don't know how to face him.

"It's okay." Nie Shen said softly, "As long as you need it, I will come."

as long as you need...

I will come.

These gentle words made Yun Ruochen's ears itch.itchy.In that case, how much is this like an oath?

Men's oaths are mostly unreliable.The sea is dry and the stone is rotten. This life will not change, the mountains have no edges, the rivers are exhausted, the winter thunder shakes the summer rain and snow, and the harmony of the heaven and the earth dares to break with the king. Who really did it?
At the moment of the promise, there may be some sincerity, but how many people can make it for a lifetime.

The talented man who said "except Wushan is not a cloud" married a new wife.

The literary giant Man Ting Ji concubine who talked about "ten years of life and death".

The emperor who said "willing to be a lovebird in the sky", isn't it a matter of life and death to push his lover out to die?

But only Nie Shen, only Nie Shen... She believed that what he said was true.

He is also out of love, although it is only the love of Ai Wu and Wu.

She is content.

　All sentient beings suffer.
