The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 89 Plum Rain Temple
The rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River is here, Qin Wan is lazily sitting on the porch, leaning on the pillars to watch the pattering rain in the sky.The rain hit the plantains, making a pattering sound.

Lie Xie came over and reported: "Madam, Imperial Physician Chen has just checked His Majesty's pulse and said that His Majesty's cough is serious and needs to be taken on time. But the medicine is a bit bitter, so His Majesty dropped the bowl directly. Eunuch Fang sent a message to ask Majesty to come over and persuade her to help you." advise."

A trace of helplessness flashed across Qin Wan's eyes, he nodded, stood up from the corridor, threw his sleeves behind him, and walked into the hall.

After Tian Zhaorong's incident happened, Yuan Chen fell ill, coughing frequently, and occasionally having chest pain and shortness of breath.

Doctor Chen said that it was because of the change of seasons that he had a cold, but after several doses of medicine, it didn't help.

Qin Wan ordered Si Qi to go down and ask her elder sister in private, and asked her elder sister to ask what happened to Yuan Chen from her elder brother-in-law.The news he got was that Yuan Chen had stagnation in his heart, which could not be resolved by itself, which caused the accumulation of qi in the lungs, and the lung qi was not ventilated. Coupled with years of indulgence and excessive drinking, the cough could never get better.

Qin Wan came to the hall and saw the maids kneeling on the ground wiping the medicine that had been spilled all over the floor.

The sound of Yuan Chen's light cough was particularly loud in the hall. It was rainy weather, hot and humid. He opened his front and frowned, probably enduring the illness. His phoenix eyes looked at the rain outside the window listlessly, with no expression on his face. .

Qin Wan asked Fang Qing to bring another bowl of medicine.

Fang Qing retreated with the maids, leaving only her and Yuan Chen in the room.

Yuan Chen turned his face slowly, and stretched out his hand to Qin Wan melancholy.

Qin Wan put her hand in his palm, and was gently dragged by him to sit beside him.

"Wanwan, I'm sick..." he said.

"Take medicine when you're sick." Qin Wan's voice was cool, without any emotion.

"Wanwan, it seems that I will go to Huangquan first. If I wait for you there, no matter 100 years, 1000 years, or 1 years, I will wait for you there. Would you like to?" Yuan Chen asked.

Qin Wan frowned: "It's just a small cough, what are you talking about. It must be raining too much, which makes you feel bad. When the weather clears, your illness will be cured."

Before Qin Wan finished speaking, a gust of wind passed and the rain intensified again. The plantains were green and the long bamboos leaned against each other. The water stains on the bluestone slabs in the courtyard merged into a stream, flowing towards the lotus pond.

Fang Qing brought new medicine, Qin Wan took the medicine bowl, put it in his mouth to eat cold, and sent it to Yuan Chen's mouth.

Yuan Chen drank it obediently without any rejection, like an obedient child, expecting Qin Wan's praise.

"That's great, I drank it all." Qin Wan handed him sweet tea and asked him to rinse his mouth to cover the bitter taste.

"No, the medicine I take every night doesn't feel bitter." Yuan Chen said with a smile.

"..." Qin Wan took a deep breath and waved Fang Qing back.

Yuan Shen looked at Yun and Yu outside the window again: "I came to report from the southeast in the morning. Tian Zhixin was pierced in the chest by the enemy when he was destroying Japanese pirates, and fell into the sea and died..."

"Oh," Qin Wan had already heard the news from Si Qi, she was not surprised, but said indifferently, "General Tian should be rewarded for his sacrifice for the country."

"I have appointed Fang Qing as the supervisor of the army, and I will follow Si Qi's third brother-in-law Liu Muge to take over Tian Zhixin's military power." Yuan Shen said.

Qin Wan was slightly uneasy: "Liu Muge is not from a military family, let him take over Tian Zhixin's army... I am afraid that those generals will not accept it."

"It's okay," Yuan Shen said, "Fang Qing will follow, they dare not do anything."

"Why..." Qin Wan muttered in a low voice, frowning together.It stands to reason that Tian Zhixin is dead, and Yuan Chen should promote a military general to take over his army.Si Qi's suggestion is to turn against Niu Chengwen, who is their main peace faction. On the surface, Niu Chengwen is Tian Zhixin's person, but under Si Qi's sugar-coated shells, he has long secretly joined Qin Wan.

But what Qin Wan didn't expect was that Yuan Chen directly chose Si Qi's third brother-in-law, which is equivalent to handing over the military power directly to Qin Wan.

These decisions made Qin Wan's heart tense, with mixed feelings.

People's hearts are fleshy, Qin Wan can't be unmoved.

He gave her the army, which is equivalent to giving her his life. Yuan Chen is really crazy.

Yuan Chen looked at her silently, and raised his hand to gently stroke the brow on her forehead: "There's no reason, Wanwan. After thinking about it, I think it's the best way...cough cough...cough cough..."

Yuan Chen coughed violently, Qin Wan quickly helped him stroke his back.

She patted Yuan Chen's back lightly, only to realize that he had lost a lot of weight, and his already pale face had a sickly blush due to poor breathing.

Yuan Chen's cough finally stopped. He leaned sideways in Qin Wan's arms and closed his eyes gently, as if he was listening to the sound of rain and Qin Wan's breathing.

"Yuan Shen," Qin Wan said to him in a low voice, "I heard from Liexiu that there is a Hangshan Mountain on the south side of Xinhu Lake, and there is a temple on the Hangshan Mountain called Yulinshan Temple. I think we can go there for a while. For a while, avoid the heat and rainy season, breathe the air in the mountains, and pay homage to the Buddha to make a wish."

"When did you become a Buddhist in Wanwan?"

"It doesn't matter what you believe in, whether it's Buddha or Dao, I'll believe in whoever blesses me." Qin Wan smiled.

"What wish do you want to make at Wanwan?" Yuan Chen asked.

Qin Wan raised his hand and brushed his long hair aside: "Of course I hope your illness will recover soon."

Yuan Chen opened his eyes and looked up at Qin Wan's dark jade eyes. After seeing that he was sincere and without any falsehood, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, closed his eyes slowly, and leaned on Qin Wan's arm in another position: "Okay, let Liexi make the arrangements, we can set off at any time..."

Ten days later, when Yuan Chen's cough got better, the motorcade from the palace set off for Yulinshan Temple.

The sky was still drizzle, Qin Wan sat beside Yuan Chen and fanned him.

Perhaps because of the sticky weather in the south of the Yangtze River, Qin Wan's temper has become a little gloomy recently, and his smile has gradually decreased.

When the car arrived at the foot of Mount Hang, they changed into sedan chairs and boarded the Yulin Mountain Temple all the way.

The abbot of Lingquan greeted him in front of the gate of the mountain temple. He was wearing a ginger-yellow robe and looked thin but very kind. He told Yuan Shen sorry that the rest of the mountain road to the temple had to be walked on foot.Fortunately, the rain stopped when we arrived in the mountains, the moss was green on the upper steps, the grass was white and the flowers were white, the clouds and mist were lingering, and the scenery was pleasant.

Yuan Chen was not angry, but smiled and said that the air in the mountains is fresh and it is better to walk.

Qin Wan followed behind him and felt a little relieved when he heard that his cough had lessened.

Walking through the stone steps and bypassing the ancient wood, there is a stone buried in the weeds with the words "Sansheng Stone" engraved on it.

Qin Wan stopped and looked at the Sansheng Stone in a daze.

Yuan Chen asked Xiang Lingquan the host: "Why is this stone called the Sansheng Stone?"

Lingquan presided over Heshi and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Sansheng Stone represents the past life, present life, and future life. It is said that lovers in the world can meet here in the next life."

Yuan Chen shook his head with a smile, and continued walking forward without saying anything.

Qin Wan walked to the stone, touched the inscription on the stone, and said to Lingquan, "Master, have you seen reincarnation with your own eyes? Why does the soul still live after death?"

Lingquan Heshi said: "Mother, the Buddhist scriptures say that sentient beings reincarnate and are born in the six realms, like a wheel with no end. All sentient beings are troubled by the four roots, reincarnation, life and death, and cannot escape. Benefit, goodness, diligence, and suffering are the four roots. Born of love, drawn by love, never abandoning the world, turning into soul breath, reincarnated without replacement."

Qin Wan didn't understand, but still nodded to Lingquan Gaze and thanked, and caught up with Yuan Chen who was walking in front with her skirt.
