Cover The Sky With One Hand, Beat The Ground With The Other - Chapter 62

It’s just a story, always going on.

Speaking of it, it was mid-autumn in August, and there was osmanthus everywhere. After careful calculation, Song Langsheng and I lived in the small town of Guangling for more than a year.

Early that morning, we had breakfast as usual. After he went out, I leisurely carried a basket and went to the market. I planned to go around the river to see if I could buy two fresh fish stews. But when he passed through the bushes, he was suddenly blocked by someone.

Before I could react, the man knelt in front of me with a plop and cried, “Princess…the servant is looking for you…”

Only then did I see that the person here was actually Jing Yan’s personal servant Cheng Tiezhong, not to mention his ragged clothes, and the sleeve of his right arm was empty, and his appearance was extremely embarrassing. I squatted and said: “Grandpa Cheng…how did you find this place…your right arm…”

Cheng Tiezhong burst into tears, and rushed to the tunnel with his head: “Please save the emperor, the princess…”

I was completely stunned: “What happened to Jing Yan?”

“The emperor… the emperor is probably going to be unable to survive…”

With a click, the basket fell to the ground.

When Song Langsheng and I wandered around the world, we knew everything about the imperial city like most ordinary people. I only heard that after the war had been settled, the emperor appointed the daughter of the military minister. Soon after, the empress rejoiced and the emperor’s line continued. Both the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Tiezhong said that not long after that, Jing Yan suddenly fell into a serious illness, and he was so anxious that he was in the palace. Later, although the illness recovered, his body was not as good as the day. Even summer nights were cold hands and feet. , Sweat in cold sweat. If this is the case, Jing Yan still does not abandon government affairs. He is never tired of the early court and reviewing the case files. His body is deteriorating, and when he is unable to grasp, he will let Jing Lan take care of it on his behalf.

“Jing Yan handed over government affairs to Big Brother?” I was already shocked when I heard this, “How could it be? Big Brother is just a commoner, what qualifications do you have to help Jing Yan…”

Cheng Tie said loyally: “In the days when the princess was away, your Majesty encountered several extremely difficult problems. It was he who helped to quell the turmoil. Your Majesty… trusted him very much… He restored King Qing’s emperor a year ago. Status…”

Her heart sank to the bottom, “Jing Yan is really confused. I clearly reminded him, why did he return…the queen dowager? Does she have no opinion?”

Cheng Tiezhong shook his head and said: “The Queen Mother is also quite in favor of this. They are all princes from the Queen Mother, how can they stop…”

I blurted out, “How is this possible? Brother clearly isn’t…”

Cheng Tiezhong looked up, “What?”

“Nothing.” I was puzzled. The queen mother didn’t know Jing Lan’s life experience. How could she not know Hui Jingyan and let him do it all? “Then what?”

Then, Jing Lan would not push away from Jing Yan’s request. He handled court affairs beautifully in the name of Jing Yan. Moreover, the key notes of all parties in the DPRK and China would be presented to Jing Yan as soon as possible. Under the circumstances, the impression of the important officials of the Manchu dynasty on Jing Lan was getting better and better. What’s more, even the emperor’s sickness and frailty were suspected, and he might maintain it for only a few years. In the future, the position of Jiangshan might fall into Jing Lan’s hands. There are countless people secretly cheating on Jing Lan. Jing Lan was unmoved, but he resolutely refused anyone who wanted to form a party for personal gain. Those who secretly sent Jing Yan to various parties said that Jing Lan had no two minds, and the more he was so loyal, Jing Yan treated him too. Trust more.

And trust is the beginning of the crisis.

After Jing Yan thought he had a comprehensive understanding of Jing Lan, he forgot one thing. Jing Lan was once the most dazzling prince of Daqing, and Jing Yan’s current throne was established only when Jing Lan left. His eldest brother stays by his side, as long as he has the heart, it is possible to take back the position that once belonged to him at any time.

Especially, the eldest brother doesn’t know his real life experience. In the eldest brother’s heart, he is the real eldest son, and his beloved wife is no longer alive. He is wandering all alone in the world. Is it true that he is pure-hearted? The opportunity is at your fingertips, and the possibility of his rekindling ambitions is too great.

Thinking of this, I was shocked, “Jing Yan has always been extremely cautious since he was young and weak, and the hospital has always been extremely cautious. Whether it is his eating or decoction, it is strictly based on his physical condition. Because of this, he has grown up since childhood. On the contrary, I haven’t had any serious illnesses, how can I be sick like that?”

Cheng Tiezhong trembled: “Your Majesty’s serious illness was not accidental, but…the poisonous hand of King Qing…”

The world roared like five thunders, “You…what did you say?”

“Your Majesty originally thought that taking the medicine from the hospital didn’t improve. Later, he remembered Kang Lin, the treasurer of Tong’an Tang, and told him to go to the palace to see his majesty. Doctor Kang Lin said at first that it was the same as the imperial doctors, saying that it was caused by wind and cold. He should take more care and recuperate for his sickness, but seeing his majesty is so afraid of the cold, he tried to use cupping inhalation therapy to get rid of the cold in the body… It is strange that the cupping made his majesty feel more cold, so Dr. Kang found it extremely weird. , Re-examined your Majesty carefully… Then I realized that your Majesty was actually poisoned… The poison is extremely rare, even Kang Lin can’t distinguish it. I only know that this poison is the key to causing your Majesty’s chronic illness. The so-called toxicity is nothing but People are susceptible to illness, fatigue, cold, and physical exhaustion, so the imperial physicians have never suspected…”

I was chilling all over, “Then, can that poison be solved?!”

Cheng Tiezhong closed his eyes and said, “Originally it was said to be solvable… Your Majesty also told us not to talk about this. Doctor Kang immediately went back to prepare a detoxification prescription. Unexpectedly, the next day, Doctor Kang suddenly disappeared in the capital of unknown destination. … Your Majesty ordered the slave to leave the palace for investigation. Who knew that when the slave returned to the palace, His Majesty was already bedridden and limp, unable to even speak…”

Lump all over… Can’t speak… How can this symptom be so familiar…

“……And after that?”

After that, Cheng Tiezhong naturally suspected Jing Lan for the first time, but Jing Yan was unconscious at the time, and all the affairs of the court were in Jing Lan’s hands. He was just a small housekeeper, so what can be done with just one-sided words. Maybe Jing Lan could be shaken? Cheng Tiezhong stayed quietly beside Jing Yan’s couch, and finally saw Jing Yan wake up one day, but he prevented Cheng Tiezhong from calling the imperial physician. Although he could not make a sound, he was in Cheng Tiezhong’s hands. Describing the truth word by word–it turns out that the head of the Taiyuan Hospital has completely become Jing Lan’s person.

Jing Yan knew that time was running out. What he worried most was his queen and the fetus in the womb of the queen. To this day, the unborn prince, Yu Jinglan, was the biggest stumbling block.

He asked Cheng Tiezhong to do two things for him. The first thing is that the queen sent her out of the palace to the mosque on the grounds of praying for the emperor. The monks in the monastery are all powerful martial artists, and they are also related to the royal family. If the queen is served, the child will be protected. Born.

But this first thing is difficult to do.

Cheng Tiezhong is no longer willing to recall the swords and swords along the way. He said that when he watched the queen’s carriage fall down the valley, he regretted it and wished to jump along with him, but he didn’t. He thought of the dying majesty in the palace, Even though one arm had been chopped off and blood was flowing well, he still held up that breath, and finally was able to escape.

It took a long time before I heard my shocked voice: “Well, that queen just…”

“The emperor has eyes, the queen… is not dead, and the prince is safe.” Cheng Tiezhong tears into his eyes.

Before the carriage went out of control, the queen jumped out of the carriage when the assassin was unprepared, and hid in the high straw stacks. So when the assassins thought that the queen had fallen off the cliff, they naturally evacuated. No one thought that a mother who was pregnant for August could survive that situation, just as even Cheng Tiezhong could not have imagined that when he found the queen’s At that time, she only gave birth to the premature baby outside the wilderness.

It’s hard for me to imagine how a young mother who was less than eighteen years old overcame her fear and resisted the pain and desperately tried to protect her child on such a cold moonlight night, but I knew that it was Jing Yan’s only flesh and blood is also the last blood of the emperor’s father, and it is the ultimate hope of the Xiao family.

I took a deep breath and asked, “The second thing Jing Yan asked you to do is to find me, and then go back to the palace to break through all the tricks of the elder brother and support that child to the throne?”

Cheng Tiezhong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, “Your Majesty said… He also knows that this is hard for the princess… After all, the princess’s wish is to stay away from the world without fighting with her horse… But…”

I knelt down, picked up the vegetable basket scattered on the ground, and looked at the fresh beef in the basket. I suddenly felt that something was gradually leaving me, “Father-in-law, you and I know very well in my heart. I have been away from the palace for so long. It is the Princess Xiangyi of the year, without power, no cronies, and no patronage of the emperor father. If you go back this time, let alone bring down your eldest brother, I’m afraid that once you appear in the capital, your chances of survival are slim…”

Cheng Tiezhong said: “Princess…”

I put the last tomato in the basket, “But, Jing Yan is the only one left, right?”

At the beginning, if it wasn’t for me to leave the imperial city so eagerly, and ignore Jingyan who first ascended to Datong, how could it lead to today’s situation?

This may be a disaster that cannot be escaped.

I grabbed my sleeves and slowly got up and said, “I have a pony ready to wait for me today. I still have some important things to do.”

There was a drizzle outside the house.

Song Langsheng just came back while I was serving the food. He ran into the hospital with a bamboo stick covering his head and hid under the eaves to wipe off the rain stains on his sleeves. Seeing that I looked back at him, he smiled. : “It’s really a rainy season. It’s still sunny when class is over in the evening, and it started to rain right now.”

I set the tableware and chopsticks, walked over to take his robe, and replaced him with a new one, “So I didn’t say it. It’s better to bring an umbrella when you go out. Think about it, if you catch some wind and cold. After that, we went to sleep in a separate room. The night was long, and I was afraid of the dark, but I was the one who suffered.”

“Okay, I can’t tell you.” He looked around, “Where is Huang Po?”

I said: “She went back temporarily when something urgent happened at home, saying that she will come back in a few days.”

He glanced at the four dishes and one soup on the table, “So… you cook today’s food?”

“Why, I can’t believe it? Don’t forget, my cooking skills are taught by the head chef of the Imperial Dining Room. I don’t know who it was for coaxing. As a result, I saw who was going to poison the food…”

Song Langsheng held down my shoulder and asked me to sit down. He smiled and said, “Madam, don’t mention the old things again, can you?”

My Mimi smiled and said, “Well, my husband, my lord.”

I worked hard to prepare this table of dishes.

Although each dish is the most common home-cooked dish, it is Song Langsheng’s favorite, especially if I make it by myself, he eats more than ever. Although he was eating very fragrantly, he said: “We are only two of us and can’t eat so many dishes. You still don’t want to cook so much tomorrow. Oh, forget it. Before Huang Po comes back, we can go out and eat. I will marry. You don’t want you to be a rice cooker.”

My nose sore, “Then what did you marry me for?”

He laughed and teased, “Doing to give birth and what to do to give birth…”

I stomped on his foot severely, he swallowed a bite of food and laughed, I looked at his good-looking smile, for a while, he was stunned when he saw me dry, and stepped back on me, “eat.”

I lowered my head and took a bite of rice, “Asheng…I want to ask you a question…”

“Ok?”

“If… I mean if… one day I want to leave you for some reason, will you live a good life by yourself…”

Song Langsheng was drinking the soup with relish, but when I said this, he suddenly had a meal, “What happened?”

“It’s nothing, I’m talking about if…”

“You never make unnecessary assumptions.” Song Langsheng put down his chopsticks, his expression gradually became serious, “Why are you leaving me? What happened to the capital?”

I shook my head repeatedly, “Really not… I just…”

Song Langsheng was about to stand up, but he stumbled and sat back to his original position. He looked at me incredulously: “You drugged the food?”

I tried to hold back, but at this moment I couldn’t help the tears in my eyes, “I’m sorry…”

“What the **** happened! You…” He rubbed his forehead, trying to keep himself awake, “Don’t act rashly! No matter what happens, there is still me. I am your husband, we must be together…” He held me tightly with one hand, “Atang, listen to me… No matter what reason you have… I will not allow you to leave me… If you… wantonly… I, I absolutely I won’t… forgive you…”

As he was talking, his voice became lower and lower, and finally couldn’t hold on. When his eyelids drooped down, the whole person fell into my arms and lost consciousness. He held my hand and still refused to let go.

I saw my tears fall on his cheeks.

I know Big Brother too well.

Song Langsheng was a fugitive general, a deserter who committed a capital crime in violation of military discipline. He is different from me. At least my eldest brother can’t treat me openly, but he can execute Song Langsheng anytime and anywhere.

Song Langsheng would not prevent me from entering Beijing to save the Jingyan, but he would not allow me to go alone.

I once complained that he refused to die with me, but at this moment, I couldn’t even do it myself.

Several figures walked out of the backyard, and I said lightly: “Song Langsheng’s martial arts can’t last a quarter of an hour, Ming Jiansi’s drug trick is really effective.”

They glanced at each other and said, “The effect of this medicine can only be maintained until tomorrow. If the horseman wakes up, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop him from catching up with the princess.”

Yes. Song Langsheng’s insight, he can think of the capital just by asking a question, even if the medicine is poured on him, it can’t stop him. If you want to really trap him for a period of time, I am afraid that you have to use the power of Ming Jiansi.

I looked at one of them. He was the director of the Guangling Mingjian Division and the largest parent officer in Guangling. “Master He, I will bother you to send Song Langsheng to prison. After this month, he will be arrested for the wrong person. Just put the name out.”

“This…” Mr. He looked embarrassed, “I’m afraid that he…”

“He won’t recognize his identity. In that case, you don’t have to think of him as a consort. As long as his diet and residence are not short, there will be no problem.” I said: “It’s just that no matter what he says. Don’t pay attention to anything, adults must bear this in mind.”

Master He hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded: “Subordinates obey orders.”

I have already explained what should be explained, and even if I want to stay for a while, as long as I think that Jing Yan’s life is at stake, I know that a moment is too late.

“Asheng, say yes, don’t forgive me.”

That was the last word I said to him in my heart. Even if he didn’t hear it at all.

The heavy rain continued, and the horseshoes splashed with water. When I left this quiet village, I suddenly remembered that there was only one fish I bought today. It was alive and kicking in a bucket. It was a pity that I couldn’t find a good weather to bake it.
