Reign of the Phoenix - Chapter 596
Yuan Zhi calmly raised his chin: “say quickly, what’s the matter?”
Xu Jiantao arched his hands and said, “the last general is leading the bodyguards to inspect the palace. When passing by the sangrou palace, he hears crying and shouting inside. The last general goes into the courtyard to check. It turns out that it’s the actor in the backyard suffering from hypochondria Taking advantage of his caretakers’ slack, he broke a dish and mutilated himself with broken porcelain pieces It’s a serious injury! ”
Murong Zhining anxiously said: “where is the injury? Is there any help? ”
Xu Jiantao hesitated and said, “he used porcelain to make his own palace At the time of discovery, he had not yet broken his body, but only one tendon. According to the end, even if the wound is not infected Also And die of pain
Murong Zhining’s tears burst into her eyes: “it’s really a big sin. I scared him What can I do? ”
Fei Fei reached for two chariots and helped Murong Zhining to climb one of the chariots: “emperor, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t pull it on yourself. Let’s go and see him first
Yuan Zhi sat on the chariot behind Murong Zhining and said with guilt: “I shouldn’t have let him into the palace. I hurt him…”
In the side hall in the backyard of sangrou palace, Cheng Yan is as green as ashes, hiding in bed with closed eyes.
Liu Mengqin was kneeling in the middle of the room, crying bitterly and tearing his hair as hard as he could.
Yuan Zhi rushed forward with a lunge and grabbed Liu Mengqin: “Master Liu, don’t blame yourself. You can’t collapse. Otherwise, who will appease and take care of Mr. Cheng?”
Feng Taiyi has been standing in front of the bed with a bent waist. He has just cut off Cheng Yanqing’s necrotic organs with a silver scissors. He is doing debridement and hemostasis for his wound. He looks so focused that he doesn’t even have time to go back and meet Murong Zhining.
Liu Mengqin cried: “the villain has given Xiaoqing the medicine prescribed by Feng Taiyi on time these two days, which has always comforted his mood. This morning, he spoke in a very organized way and showed a long lost smile. The villain thought that his condition had improved, so he took time to take a bath, and as soon as he came back It can’t be remedied… ” He let out a heartbreaking howl.
At this time, Cheng Yanqing opened his eyes weakly: “master Brother What are you crying about? The Emperor Grass people see… ”
Murong Zhining took a step forward: “no ceremony! Don’t talk. Keep your spirits up What are you doing? I don’t blame you
Liu Mengqin knelt down and walked to the bed with his knees: “Xiaoqing Do you feel pain? I really want to bear the pain for you… ”
Cheng Yanqing weakly moved his lips: “no pain at all, but very relaxed! It’s just that No strength What are you crying for? I You should be happy for me
Murong Zhining’s tears fell down involuntarily: “Master Liu, don’t blame yourself, let him recuperate quietly! Fortunately, all the doctors in the palace are holy hands, and his life will not be in danger! ”
Feng Taiyi applied medicine on Cheng Yanqing’s wound and covered it with a thick layer of cotton yarn. He turned around and bowed down to Murong Zhining and saluted him: “emperor, I used Ma boiling powder for Mr. Cheng. He has no pain for the time being. The wound has been cleaned up by me. It depends on his nature whether it will cause infection.”
Cheng Yanqing has a tear in the corner of his eye: “the Emperor The grassroots are guilty Please forgive the emperor! Today, the grassroots know that there is a man living in his body. He can’t accept this reality, but he’s ashamed… ”
Murong Zhining comforted: “what is your crime? I have always known that you are a little girl. You should take good care of yourself. When you get back to health, I will give you a new identity. After that, you will be able to be a little lady with your head raised and your chest raised as you wish. ”
Cheng Yanqing’s eyes burst with hope: “is it true? No matter how much the grass-roots people suffer, they are worth it Thank you very much He turned his head and passed out again.
Murong Zhining came out of Cheng Yanqing’s side hall and went to the terrace on the second floor. Yuanzhi followed her without saying a word. They sat down next to the rosewood tea table on the edge of the terrace.
Yuan Zhi, with a lonely face, reached out to attract Xi Mei: “go and get a small charcoal stove. I want to make a pot of tea for the emperor by myself.”
Murong Zhining raised her hand to cover the back of Yuanzhi’s hand: “don’t blame yourself. For Cheng Yanqing, it’s a nirvana in the fire and a life to death!”
Yuan Zhi gently nodded his head: “a few days ago, I still despised and humiliated him. I felt that he not only had defects in character, but also lived without dignity! He had to look at me in such a way that he didn’t think of it! It can be seen that people’s consciousness is often preconceived and blinded by appearances! ”
Murong Zhining hands close Yuan Zhi’s hand: “since Cheng Yanqing can be so brave, why don’t Mr. Yuan face up to his feelings?”
Yuan Zhi gently gazed at Murong Zhining: “emperor, didn’t I say that? After waiting for three years and five years, when we both have passed the period of filial piety, we can look back on the road we have gone through, and we will know how to choose! ”
Murong Zhi Ning frowned on her eyebrows: “three or five years later, maybe things have changed. Why do you want to be so stubborn? It’s also proper to get married while we’re in love
Yuan Zhi’s eyes narrowed coldly: “things in the world tend to be fast, but not fast! In order not to leave regret for each other, why not stay a few more years? “Xi Mei comes to the charcoal stove, kneels down beside the tea table and makes the fire fan prosperous with a leaf fan. On the charcoal fire, she puts a purple clay pot containing mountain spring water: “Lord yuan, why there are no more waterfalls on the mountain these days? Is the water source on the mountain exhausted?”
Murong Zhining also looked at the back of the mountain: “I didn’t want to see the scenery these days. I didn’t notice that the waterfall in the back mountain suddenly stopped flowing!”
Yuan Zhi chuckled: “it’s not that the waterfall is cut off, it’s me who let the sluice close! Although the Fengwu waterfall has become a wonder in Nanjin City, it has been heard for ten miles because of the great water flow difference. It is really a noise nuisance to the people! Therefore, I specially ordered the soldiers guarding the spring to open the sluice gate to release water when there is a market or a festival in Nanjin City, so as to add a festive atmosphere. Usually, we just pull the sluice gate. However, the emperor has the privilege to the waterfall. As long as the emperor wants to see it, the waterfall will pour down in an instant! ”
Murong Zhining got up and stood on the edge of the terrace and looked at Fengming mountain with expectant eyes: “I really want to see the wonder of this waterfall suddenly falling from the sky. How can the soldiers on the opposite side receive the signal and open the sluice gate to release water? Is it difficult to let people fly to report? Did I not wait for my neck to be stiff? ”
Yuan Zhi burst out laughing boldly: “emperor, you are so clever, how can you come up with such a stupid way as flying horse to send letters? Don’t blink when you stare at the mountain! ” He took out a rolled red flag from the corner and shook it three times to the left and right.
“Hua La” a sound, distant Fengming mountain, a white practice from the top of the mountain and fly down.
Yuan Zhi stood beside Murong Zhining and looked at her sideways: “I set a set of flags with the soldiers on the opposite side. If the emperor wants to see the waterfall in the future, he will let people dance the flag, and the waterfall will be on call and stop at will!”
Xi Mei danced and clapped her hands: “Mr. Yuan is really smart! The waterfall is so interesting that it can be seen at any time according to the emperor’s will! ”
Murong Zhining elbow on the balcony railing, holding his cheek, looking at the waterfall in the distance: “this scenery is really beautiful, better than the heavenly palace! Mr. Yuan, I have not understood until now that it is the plain and peaceful life that I want to see the scenery side by side with you! ”
Yuan Zhi laughed but did not speak. He went to the tea table, flushed a cup of hot tea and handed it to Murong Zhining: “emperor, your body has almost recovered. You should face the court in person tomorrow!”
Murong Zhining pouted: “don’t always change the topic! If I’m a little lax, you’d like to whip me up and make me spin like a top! Yuanzhi, are you tired of living with me in the ordinary time
Yuan Zhi’s eyes fell on the mountain top in the distance: “I’m tired of it, but I still yearn for a more free life. But I have to stay by your side and spur you from time to time, because once you are free, you will spend a lot of time thinking about some meaningless things! Isn’t it good to be busy? If you live high in a temple, you should always cherish the world. You can’t be like a woman in a boudoir who only knows how to hurt the spring and the autumn all day long! ”
Murong Zhining fell lonely on the railing, chin on the back of the hand: “who said when the emperor, can not have full of melancholy? I don’t ignore the government, I just know how to moan all day long! Mr. Yuan, are you too strict with me? ”
Yuan Zhi looked sideways at Murong Zhining: “emperor, you also know how heavy the crown is on your head? You’re past your wayward age, and you’ll soon be twenty years old! ”
Murong Zhining said to herself, “I was only 20 years old! How do I feel that I am in my twilight years… ” A tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Yuan Zhi sighed: “emperor, you just looked at the scenery calmly, but now you are in sorrow again. It can be seen that as long as I am by your side, you can’t be happy! Emperor, I’ll take the little prince to the border in a few days to experience. Then, no one will make you angry
Murong Zhining’s lonely face: “sadness is just an emotion. It comes fast and goes fast. It has nothing to do with Mr. Yuan! I am too dependent on you, I should learn to think independently! Mr. Yuan, I hope you didn’t decide to go to the border because you wanted to avoid me… ”
Yuan Zhiwen said: “no matter what my purpose is, it is not a bad thing to deal with our feelings calmly.”
In the imperial study, Murong Zhining sits at the desk with a pile of memorials eager to reply. She held Zihao in one hand and her cheek in the other hand, thinking about her mind in silence.
Fei Fei stood behind Murong Zhining, holding a delicate bamboo leaf fan, and kept blowing at Murong Zhining: “emperor, are you sleepy? Would you like to go to the imperial garden to breathe? Alas, a woman at your age is just like a flower. It’s really hard for you to be locked up in the imperial study all day and read memorials endlessly. ”
Murong Zhining stood up and stretched her waist: “I think that if I work harder, I can make the people of Shang and Xia live a better life. I dare not slack off at all! I’ve just been reading papers for too long, and I’m a little stiff! ” She went to the door of the imperial study and looked into the open yard.
Fei Fei went to Murong Zhining and said, “emperor, are you hurting your spirit for Lord yuan? You haven’t seen him for days, have you? “
