Fengming Emperor Pavilion

Chapter 100 Reduction to Midwife

At the moment Hualou spoke, Ru Yang's heart trembled slightly, what does it mean that it's too late?Why is it too late?

Hualou and Empress Dowager Si had just fought against each other not long ago, and she almost forgot that Dong He once said that the so-called Daoist Qingxu was invited into the palace by Empress Dowager Si to exorcise demons.

The Empress Dowager Si has such a relationship with him. If this stinky Taoist priest is really brought into the palace by the Empress Dowager, then her troubles will come again.

"Girl, what did you think of?" Ru Yang asked softly as she looked at the painting building.

Hua Lou slowly raised his eyes to look at her, and asked, "Your Majesty, did you go out to see?"

"It wasn't there when the servant came out."

"Then what about those people who were stunned? Can they be brought back?" Hualou looked at them and asked.

Ru Yang frowned slightly: "No, His Majesty sent the imperial physician in the palace to check."

"let's go."

"Where are you going?" Ru Yang asked.

"Leaving the palace." Hua Lou said and walked out quickly, but she didn't expect that she had just walked from Xunfeng Hall to Yangxin Hall, and Donghe was no longer there, so she must have left the palace.

When Hualou found the courtyard, Donghe had already arrived, and there were guards outside, and the gate was closed tightly.

She walked over quickly, and the guards immediately stopped her: "Who is here?"

Before Hualou could speak, he heard the door creak, and Hualou looked up and saw Lu Yi's figure.

"How did you come?"

Hualou went up, looked at Lu Yi and said, "I'll come and see the guard who was stunned by the Taoist priest. Besides, Mr. Lu forgot, the Taoist priest may be the first to seek revenge on me."

Lu Yi frowned slightly, pondering, remembering how fierce Hualou was that day, and how that stinky Taoist priest called her a monster.

Those guards who were stunned were all carried in by Donghe. The imperial physician was checking and treating them, and Donghe was waiting for the diagnosis result of the imperial physician.

"Is there a result?" The voice of Hualou sounded, and Dong He turned around with his hands behind his back and saw Hualou standing behind him.

Donghe looked at her. He had always felt that something was missing just now, but now he saw her and remembered that it was her.

"You came."

"Qianji sees Your Majesty, I heard that the guards were injured by magic, and they haven't woken up for a few days?" Just as Hualou asked, the imperial doctor said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, their pulses are all normal. "

"Since it's normal, why don't you wake up?" Donghe asked.

These imperial physicians couldn't find out the reason, and they were all frowning. Dong He looked at Xue Chenglin who was standing on the side and asked, "Can't Imperial Physician Xue see it too?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I can't tell what the symptoms are." Xue Chenglin replied with his body lowered.

The imperial physician standing on the side said with some hesitation: "Could it really be the reason of the spell?"

Hua Lou frowned slightly, without speaking, walked over slowly, stretched out his hand to check the pulse of the guards, the pulse was indeed stable, but the breathing was very weak, almost faint.

The imperial physicians couldn't diagnose what kind of symptom it was, so they all said that it was caused by the spell of the stinky Taoist priest.

This person is not dead, but he can't wake up, which makes Hualou a little distressed, and she can't see why?
Donghe looked at the figure and the slightly frowned eyebrows: "How is it? Can you see it?" Donghe asked.

Hualou straightened up and walked to Donghe's side, pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, please allow Qianji to think about it."

"Take away all the comatose people, don't leak any information."

"Yes!"

On that day, Lu Yi found a house to put all these people in, and that day, because it was still afternoon, and it happened to be sunny, walking on the streets of the imperial capital, the expression of the painting building was not very good. happy look.

Dong He thought she was worried about the appearance of the Taoist priest, so he comforted: "Don't worry, the Hall of Xunfeng and the Hall of Mental Cultivation are together, and the guards are strict, so everything will be fine."

After hearing Donghe's words, Hualou realized after being slightly stunned: "I'm not worried."

Lu Yi and the others followed neither far nor near, Hualou walked beside Donghe, and upon hearing her answer, Donghe said, "Then you are not happy?"

Hualou paused and asked, "My lord, what's your mood walking on this street?"

Donghe looked at this bustling street with people coming and going. He walked countless times, but he never thought about his mood. The only thing he knew was that his mood was never caused by this street.

Donghe didn't answer for a long time, only heard Hualou say: "When I walked through this street, I was secretly happy, and then I was happy."

"now what?"

Hualou looked at Donghe, listened to his question, did not answer, just looked up and saw the scene not far away, a thin young man, he was kneeling on the street, he was selling his body to bury his mother, lying on the bed The woman in the straw mat remained motionless.

Her gaze was lost, and Donghe followed her gaze and looked over slowly, looking at the scene, and then looking at her face and eyes, you will feel unbearable.

Dong He originally thought that she would walk over, and even pay for the boy to bury his mother, but Dong He was wrong. She just looked at it for a while, retracted her eyes, and then turned and left. Turning around so quickly, it seemed like If she walks slowly, it won't be the same as this decision.

Looking at her back, Donghe also followed her with his hands behind his back: "Why?"

Although it was just three simple words, Hualou asked what he was asking tomorrow, and just replied indifferently: "There are so many poor people in the world, how can we save them?"

Donghe is an emperor, he is cold-blooded, but facing his own people, he is not allowed, he can be politically cold-blooded!

There are so many poor people in the world, how could they be saved? When Donghe sent someone back to look at it later, the boy had already left, and he was also very persistent. Finally, he found the boy. he silver.

Lu Yi asked: "Can she tell you who she is?"

The young man came to the imperial capital not long ago, and he didn't understand that if someone with a heart heard what he said, he would be beheaded, but if Lu Yi heard it, it would be his luck.

"She said her name was Shen Hualou." The slender Shangnian, with his shabby clothes, fair face, clear and resolute eyes, when he said this, Lu Yi's hands covered his waist in an instant on the sword.

"Who are you talking about?"

Looking at Lu Yi's face that suddenly changed color and those complex eyes, the young man took a step back slightly: "She said, her name is Shen Hualou!"

"Impossible! Tell me, who ordered you?" With a sound of brushing, the shining sword in Lu Yi's hand had already reached the boy's chest.

He was frightened, but he still stood still, and said calmly: "Ji Yun doesn't understand what the young master said."

Lu Yi looked at the young man in front of him, frowned slightly, and thought of Shen Hualou. If she was really alive, she would probably really do this, but she is dead.

But it is said that she is really dead, but there is not even a corpse, not even a basic tombstone. Every year during the Qingming Festival, I don't even know where to go to worship.

"What's your name?" Lu Yi asked.

"My name is Ji Yun."

"Is there anyone else in the family?"

"Young master, my mother and I depend on each other for life. My mother has passed away, and I am the only one left."

Lu Yi looked at the boy quietly, he looked like a certain person, but that person had disappeared for a long, long time.

"Where are you from?"

"Linzhou."

Lu Yi was silent for a moment thoughtfully, then murmured, "Linzhou."

That frail young man was brought back to the Lu Mansion by Lu Yi, and the future of this young man has been changed since then.

That day, Donghe and Hualou had been wandering around until dusk before returning to the palace. After returning to the palace, Ru Yang kept looking at Hualou in silence, as if she was a little restless. She turned around and made a pot of calming tea and brought it over. .

"Girl, what are you thinking?" Ru Yang sat beside Hualou and asked softly.

Holding the teacup, Hua Lou looked at Ru Yang and replied: "The young man today is very similar to an old friend of mine, but he doesn't know where he is going."

In fact, Ru Yang really wanted to ask, why she asked her to give the money and didn't let the boy go with her, but before Ru Yang could ask, Hualou said softly: "I have nowhere to go, no one takes me in. "

Ru Yang looked at her, feeling a little cold in her heart. She and Ru Xue are like people without roots. In this world where men are the strong ones, she and Ru Xue have no father or mother, because they are girls. The people of the tribe will not recognize them, but Qianji is different. Although she was born to the concubine of the Qian family, she still has a father. recognize her.

"Girl, one day, people from the Qian family will recognize you, and there will always be a family there."

Listening to Ru Yang's words, Hualou froze slightly, should I go back to Qian's house or Shen's house?But she slowly thought of Donghua, and Prince An's Mansion in her heart, maybe she just got used to it.

"Ru Yang, I'm not the biological daughter of the Qian family, so they don't want me, I understand, I already know my biological parents, but in this life, I won't look for them, and I won't ask why, Ru Yang, you know why Is it?" Hualou's red lips kissed, revealing this terrifying secret.

"Girl, you." The reason why Ru Yang was astonished was that in this palace, everyone had too many secrets, and if they told others their own secrets, as soon as that person betrayed you one day, then your trust back then would be lost. It will become your last and fastest blade to pierce your heart.

Hua Lou looked at Ru Yang and said, "If it were you, where would you go back?"

Ru Yang looked at the painting building, pondered for a moment and said: "When the girl shines on the lintel, they will all fight to get you home."

"Ru Yang, we are in this world. We need family members when we have nothing to turn to, not when we are in good times. When we can shine on the lintel, why bother to go back! Don't you think so?" Hualou's words were very cold , with a chill that can never be covered.

There was some sadness in Ru Yang's eyes, she felt that she was pitiful, but she still had Ru Xue as her companion, while Qian Ji seemed to be alone: ​​"Do you have brothers and sisters?"

"If it is said that they have the same blood on their bodies, then I have it, and they have been well-clothed and well-fed since childhood, and they are good at everything."

Ru Yang looked at her, and said in a deep voice: "If the girl doesn't dislike her, then from today onwards, she will treat Ru Yang as a sister."

Hua Lou's expression was in a trance, and he looked sideways at Ru Yang and smiled: "If I didn't regard you as a sister, I wouldn't have talked to you so much, do you know that the day I fell asleep on the roof, I looked at the red clouds all over the sky, the bloodthirsty red, I was already standing on the roof, but I still couldn't see beyond the palace cavity, it wasn't that I didn't understand what it looked like outside the palace walls, but that I suddenly I suddenly feel that even if I stand on the most prosperous Jinxiu Street, standing on the vast Jinxiu Street, I am still just a person. The concubine Zhou once asked the emperor to let me go out of the palace. The wall surrounds people's hearts, but I thought at that moment, where should I go after I go out? I thank His Majesty from the bottom of my heart for staying with me, and I don't ask for anything else, but at least there is a place to shelter you, isn't it!"

Ru Yang listened, and tears flowed down slowly, so what Hua Lou said was not what she thought in her heart?Only those who have family members waiting for them will want to leave the palace when they are old. Where should those who have no family go when they go out?

Hualou didn't cry, her tears seemed to be silent, just like that, drop by drop hit the ground of Xunfeng Hall, making a sound like a silver bell, but it was a sad sound.

Following Ru Yang's words, it was because Ru Yang talked about home, she didn't have a home, never had one.

The two were talking quietly, they didn't know that Donghe stood outside the Xunfeng Palace for a long, long time, and the words that Hualou and Ruyang said fell into his ears word by word.

He didn't know that from the moment she said that, his heart was tightly clenched together, with a sharp mouth, never leaving a way out when speaking, being vitriolic and mean was just a mask for others to see. He never asked about her age, nor did he pay attention to her age. She was younger than Zhou Wei and Shen Qingqiang. Doting on this daughter makes him lawless; looking at Shen Qingqiang, the daughters of the Shen family have always been Miss Qianjin, Donghe doesn't know whether he should count Shen Hualou as a daughter of the Shen family.

Standing outside the Xunfeng Palace, he seemed to have made some secret decision, while Hualou and Ru Yang were talking shallowly inside the room.

Those guards who are still in a coma have never woken up, and Hua Lou is not sure how to explain it. She thinks it cannot be a spell. If the stinky Taoist wants to escape from a coma, there is no need for these guards at all. Instead of dying, they fell into a coma, so Hualou felt that it was some kind of medicine or something that caused them to fall asleep.

Hualou almost forgot that if Qingxu was taken away by someone, it would take him a long time to think about that person's thoughts.

In the evening of the next day, after the painting building had dinner, Ru Yang went to make medicine for her, she went out for a walk alone, walked through the imperial garden and walked to the Yunshui bridge, Donghe was still in the government affairs hall.

An eunuch passed by from behind, he saw Hua Lou Fu Fu's body and said: "Hello, Auntie in charge."

Hualou nodded slightly, but did not speak.

But he didn't see the little eunuch leave, he said in a deep voice: "Master asked the servant to send hello to aunt."

These words rang in Hualou's ears, her back froze, she slowly raised her eyes to look at him, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Master asked aunt to go back to the mansion." He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the unfamiliar person, she said: "Got it."

After returning from the palace that time, Hualou never went back, and only met Donghua when she walked up to the Hall of Martial Arts for the first time. Hualou actually knew that Donghua should have something to ask her, but She should already know what the question was about.

But that night, Donghe discussed with the ministers. She had already returned to Xunfeng Hall, but Li Qin called her back again. The discussion was on the issue of frontier defense, which lasted until late at night. Finally, the ministers were asked to return Mansion, but the matter still did not come to a conclusion, Donghe frowned, and Hualou stood aside with a calm expression.

"Why didn't you talk tonight? What's your idea?" Donghe asked.

Hua Lou was indeed a little absent-minded. Tonight, she had been thinking about how to tell Donghua to see her body?But she didn't know what excuse to use to get Donghua to agree.

"I haven't made up my mind yet, I'll wait for my servant to reply to His Majesty tomorrow." After Hua Lou finished speaking lightly, Donghe said, "That's fine."

She went back with Donghe that night, because of the living arrangement, Hualou felt that it was a lot more troublesome than in the courtyard. Her comings and goings would be watched by the people around Donghe, clearly.

If she is not around at night, if Donghe wants to ask questions suddenly, it will be too inconvenient for her.

After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the painting building walked towards the Hall of Xunfeng. After walking for a while, Donghe stopped her: "Qianji."

Hualou paused: "Well, what else is there for Your Majesty?"

"Are you sleepy?" Donghe asked suddenly, Hualou frowned slightly, she was going out of the palace tonight, what was Donghe going to do?
Hua Lou frowned slightly: "What else is there for Your Majesty?"

"Forget it, go back and rest when you're tired." Donghe suddenly changed his mind and said.

"Well, Your Majesty also rests earlier." Hua Lou said and bowed slightly, standing at both ends of the corridor, under the dim light, she looked at this face, not knowing how to feel, she just wanted to see it today See what I have become under Donghe's cramp.

When Hua Lou returned to Xunfeng Palace, Ru Yang was still waiting for her: "From now on, you go to bed early when it is so late, and I will go to bed when I come back. You don't have to wait like this all the time."

"It's okay, I just happened to make clothes, and I haven't finished it yet."

Hualou didn't say much, the two chatted quickly for a while and then went back to sleep, Ru Yang fell asleep, but Hualou didn't fall asleep for a long time.

She waited for Donghe to fall asleep before leaving the palace, if he hadn't fallen asleep yet and suddenly came to him on a whim, then Ru Yang on her side might not be able to evade it.

In this dark night, Hualou got up slowly, changed into simple clothes, then hid and went out through the back door at the back of Xunfeng Hall.

It was Maoshi when she arrived at the palace, and as soon as she arrived in the East Wing, Hezhou greeted her hurriedly: "Miss, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Well, something is delayed tonight, so I'm late." After Hua Lou finished speaking, He Zhou said, "Come in."

"By the way, I cooked your favorite food for you, and it will be served in a while." After He Zhou finished speaking, he left in a hurry, Hua Lou frowned slightly. He Zhou has always been kind to her, but in fact, most of the reason he was kind to her was because Donghua's attitude towards her, if Donghua treats her well, then everyone in the palace will treat her well, if Donghua treats her badly, then no one in the palace will treat her well.

Hualou hurried into the room, Donghua sat under the candlelight, he was copying something, saw Hualou's body slowly raised his head: "Why did it take you so long to come?"

"Some things are delayed tonight, and it is inconvenient to come out because I live there now." After Hualou finished speaking, Donghua slowly put down the pen in his hand and stood up. Today he is wearing a purple Hua Hualou didn't know what to use to describe Donghua.

It stands to reason that he has withstood the wind and sand outside the Great Wall, and he is a person who has experienced many battles. He should be strong and rough!
But his complexion is still fair, and he is still so slender standing there. Few men wear purple brocade clothes. On Hua's body, she never looked like a woman, but she was a bit more enchanting.

"He often looks for you?" Donghua asked.

Hua Lou frowned slightly, what does this mean?She is the person in charge of Donghe, and she is the person who always waits by her side. Why did Donghua's words give her another illusion.

She didn't answer, but just looked at Donghua in confusion, Donghua coughed dryly and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"It's okay, why did the prince ask me to come in such a hurry?" Hualou asked.

Donghua looked at her, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Delivery."

After hearing the two words, Hualou suddenly raised his eyes to look at Donghua, his eyes were full of astonishment: "For you?"

"En." After Donghua finished speaking, Hualou took a staggering step back, glanced at Donghua from top to bottom, and said, "My lord, are you going to give birth?"

Donghua glared at her and said something presumptuous, but the person serving beside him laughed because of Hualou's words.

Hua Lou actually knew who she was going to deliver when she heard about the delivery, but she didn't expect that Donghua would really let her deliver that woman.

Before the time came, Hualou looked at Donghe and said, "I'm not a midwife, is the prince so poor that he can't afford to hire a midwife?"

"Su Zhi gave her a pulse, and said that the fetal position was not correct, and it must have been dystocia during delivery. Didn't you help Rong Xi and the little prince, so I called you back." After Donghua finished speaking, Hualou frowned slightly : "Does the prince know what method I use?"

Donghua raised his eyebrows slightly, Hualou sighed deeply, and asked in a puzzled way: "Since the lord loves Shen Hualou so much, why does he want another woman to give birth to this child?"

After her words came out, Donghua was silent for a long time before saying, "You won't understand."
