Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 64: Past Life: Deep Fate

When drunk, a little bit of sesame seeds in people's hearts, no matter joy, anger, sorrow or joy, seems to be infinitely magnified, just like the current Li Ying.

A moment ago, he was still offended by the unreasonable questioning of the strange man in front of him, but now he is happy because he praised his father.

And the next moment, she suddenly burst into tears with a "wow".

She probably also felt that she was ashamed like this, so Li Ying simply squatted down on the spot, buried her head in her arms and started to cry loudly.

Xiao Lian was always treated with courtesy, and it was the first time he met Xiao Lian who was crying and laughing at him like this was a woman.

He didn't know how to deal with it, so he stood there helplessly, with an embarrassing look on his face.

"Don't cry..." It took a long time for Xiao Lian to squeeze out four words to comfort her.

Li Ying didn't pay attention to him at all, and wept bitterly.

"Miss your parents again?" Xiao Lian knelt down and asked in a calm tone.

This time Li Ying finally responded, she nodded vigorously while crying.

"Don't cry, speaking of it, I'm much more pitiful than you."

Hearing this, Li Ying raised her head, sniffed, and asked, "Could it be that your parents are also far away?"

"Ah."

"How far is it, is it farther than Songyang?"

The person in front of him looked innocent, with pure concern and curiosity in his eyes.

By coincidence, Xiao Lian revealed the emotion that he buried in his heart and didn't want to tell others.

"They're in heaven."

Li Ying suddenly stopped crying, and then hiccupped in a very unsuitable way: "Hi——"

"Hmm..." Li Ying covered her mouth with her face flushed, "I'm being rude."

She tried her best to hold back the belch, and asked curiously, "Then, will you miss them?"

"It's okay." Xiao Lian raised his head and looked at the bright galaxy in the sky: "I haven't seen it before, so it's okay."

"Ah..." Li Ying shut her mouth embarrassingly, and after a while she couldn't help but said to herself: "Compared to this, I'm already very lucky."

Xiao Lian stood up with a smile on his lips: "You finally figured it out."

Li Ying, who was squatting on the ground, raised her head and smiled at Xiao Lian: "Thank you very much tonight."

"Go back quickly when you're sober." Xiao Lian left after finishing speaking. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. If someone sees her, it may be bad for her.

In fact, Li Ying's mind was still muddled, she sat down on her buttocks in a daze, what this person said seemed to be true, after blowing the wind, she felt even more drunk...

When Hsinchu came back with the cloak, he saw his little master sitting by the fish watching pond, falling asleep...

"My lord, my lord..." Hsinchu called her softly in Li Ying's ear.

"Huh?" Li Ying woke up in a daze.

"My lord, the palace banquet is over, why are you still here?"

"It's over? Great, let's go back."

The night when Hsinchu returned to the palace with Li Ying who was stumbling, Li Ying developed a low fever.

The fever continued intermittently for four or five days. Li Ying's status was low, and the imperial physician sent by the palace prescribed a few random medicines, which did not seem to be effective at all.

Fortunately, Li Ying was in good health, and Hsinchu took care of her meticulously. On the sixth day, Li Ying miraculously recovered on her own.

It's just that Hsinchu asked if she met anyone at Guanyu Pond that night, what she said, and how she fell asleep, but Li Ying couldn't remember anything.

And during the period when Li Ying fell ill, the emperor thought of her again for the first time.The emperor looked around for a pile of green-headed cards, but he didn't see Li Ying's card, so he asked the palace servants around him: "Where did you agree? The surname is Li."

The palace man returned immediately: "Li promised that she is sick."

"Oh? Why are you sick?"

"I heard that it was because of the wind blowing after drinking at the palace banquet that night, and I had a fever."

"That's it, that's all."

Li Ying probably didn't expect that this illness would come by such a coincidence, it didn't seem to matter to her whether it was luck or misfortune that she didn't get to go to bed, she just thought that life was pretty good now.

It's just that the emperor remembered that the news of the goblin who was ashamed of the closed moon had already reached the Changchun Palace, and Concubine Hua was so angry that she broke the cup in her hand: "This shameless person must be playing some kind of seductive trick. That's why His Majesty was tickled by her again!"

How could Concubine Hua allow someone to act like a monster under her nose, so she even summoned Li Ying to Changchun Palace.Li Ying is not stupid, she naturally knows why Concubine Hua Gui suddenly heard about her, but she can't argue with it, saying that she has no intention of competing for favor, will people believe it?

Li Ying, who had just recovered from a serious illness, had no choice but to come to Changchun Palace tremblingly. She found that the palace gate was open, and all the palace people were doing their own work. Seeing her coming, she didn't even lift her head.

Li Ying knocked lightly on the palace door, but there was no response. He reported his family name outside the palace gate, but there was still no reply.

Li Ying just stood outside the hall in such a daze, do you want to leave?She didn't dare, if it was pursued, it would be bad for Concubine Hua to punish her for another crime of disrespect.But if she continued to stay and wait, even though it was an October day, the autumn tiger was coming fiercely. Now she had only stood for a quarter of an hour, and the clothes behind her were soaked.

Li Ying gritted her teeth and continued to stand stupidly under the sun. After an unknown period of time, when she was physically exhausted, her face was pale, and she was about to faint at the entrance of the hall, the door opened.

Concubine Hua Guifei saw her pale face, she seemed to have learned her lesson, and saw that she was pleasing to her eyes, she finally said a few words to her indifferently, and let her go.

Li Ying hung her head dejectedly, and walked back to her palace step by step against the scorching sun. As soon as she stepped into her room, she fell asleep and slept for a whole day before she regained her senses.

Li Ying, who woke up in the middle of the night, moved a chair and sat under the moon and stars alone. Looking at the deep palace wall, she sighed long.

Life in this palace is like walking on thin ice, even if she doesn't cause trouble, trouble will come to her door, it is really difficult to live a peaceful life.

She really misses the days when she acted like a baby beside her parents. Before she knew it, her face was wet with cold tears.

But very soon, a huge piece of good news broke Li Ying's stagnant life in the palace.

Today, Li Ying was watering the flowers she carefully raised, some of which were rare varieties that she secretly begged from the gardener in the imperial garden.

At this moment, Hsinchu ran in in a panic, shouting as he ran, "My lord, my lord! Great news!"

Li Ying shook her hand, and almost poured the water pot in her hand into the seeds named "Geranium": "You scared me to death, what's the big news?"

Hsinchu was out of breath, and after a while he said: "Master, Madam, and Young Master, they have entered Beijing!"

"Bang—" the kettle in Li Ying's hand fell to the ground, and Li Ying couldn't believe it: "Xinzhu, is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true! I heard someone in the palace discussing..." At this point, Hsinchu suddenly shut up.

"What are you talking about?" Li Ying asked.

"They said..." Hsinchu faltered and said: "They said, young master, that you have not even slept in bed for a night, and you have the ability to transfer your own father from Songyang to the capital..."

"Mouths grow on them, so let them say whatever you like." Li Ying didn't care about these rumors. What she cared about was that her father had not been promoted as a county magistrate in Songyang for more than ten years. Why? At this point in time, he was actually transferred to be a Beijing official?
Is it really because of yourself?Impossible, she hasn't even said a word to the emperor until now...

After much deliberation, it is likely that my father was upright and had been an official for more than ten years, and finally he was appreciated.

Thinking that there is only one palace wall between her and her parents, Li Ying couldn't hide her excitement. Will she have a chance to meet them?

This night, Li Ying's mind was full of random thoughts, and he didn't fall asleep until late at night.

From autumn to winter, until the New Year's Eve of this year, Li Ying's wish was not fulfilled.Firstly, she has no money to manage the palace people, secondly, she has no power to be persuaded, and thirdly, she has no ambition to be favored by the emperor. With such an unknown little promise, it is not easy for her to cross the palace wall to meet her parents.
In the blink of an eye, it was March, and the few rare plants that Li Ying raised began to sprout gradually, and flower buds grew, which made her feel a little satisfied.Looking at the flowers and plants in the room, she had the illusion that she was still living in her hometown in Songyang.

Among them, the best growing ones are the few geraniums.On this day, seeing that the carefully cultivated geraniums finally bloomed into gorgeous flowers, Li Ying immediately burst into a smile.

She leaned down and sniffed the scent of geraniums with her nose, walked around the flowers carefully, and said happily: "This is the first time I have seen such beautiful flowers."

Then she thought, how happy she would be if A Niang outside the palace could also see this flower.

Unexpectedly, at night, Li Ying felt itchy and hot all over, making it difficult to fall asleep.But the emperor didn't know which tendon was cramping, but he remembered Li Ying's sign again.When the palace servants came to inform that His Majesty was coming tonight, Li Ying got out of bed in a panic under the candlelight and got ready.

"Oh!" The palace man saw Li Ying's face, and was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Li Ying asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

"Promise, your face..." The palace man pointed at Li Ying tremblingly, speechless.

Li Ying hurried to the mirror, and when she saw her red and swollen face and dense rashes on her neck, she herself was taken aback.

"Father-in-law, please report back to Your Majesty, the concubine may not be able to sleep tonight."

When the emperor heard that the promise had a reason to refuse to serve the bed, he couldn't help but feel unhappy: "What's the reason this time?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this old servant went to the promised palace in person, who would have thought that the promised, she..."

"What's up with her?"

"Her looks are ruined!"

"What's going on here?" The emperor frowned.

"The old slave doesn't know, the old slave only knows that Xu Xu is covered in rashes all over his body, his face is red and swollen, and he looks like he has some strange disease..."

"Since that's the case, let's take her sign away, and don't need to put it up again from now on."

"The old slave complies."

Counting it carefully, this is the third time the emperor has called Li Ying to sleep with her, and every time she has various reasons, but it is still hard to find fault.

From then on, the emperor completely forgot about this beauty.

It's just that Li Ying couldn't care about the emperor completely ignoring her. This sudden illness became more and more serious. At first it was just a rash and itchy skin, but no matter how Hsinchu helped her clean and wipe, the symptoms never eased. After three days On this day, Li Ying even had difficulty breathing.

Hsinchu was in a hurry, go to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor, either to see a doctor for that empress, or to see a doctor for a prince, the remaining young imperial doctor came to see Li Ying's symptoms and shook his head, saying that it was hopeless up.

Hsinchu didn't believe it, so she stayed at the gate of the imperial hospital, waiting for a long time, and finally waited for Wang imperial doctor who was known as the master of the palace.

"Doctor Wang, Doctor Wang! I beg you to save my little master!" As soon as Hsinchu saw Doctor Wang, he knelt down on the ground with a plop without saying a word.

"This... which palace maid are you from?" Wang Taiyi asked.

"I am the maidservant Li promised. My young master is suffering from a strange disease, and now she is almost out of breath. I beg the imperial doctor to go and see her!"

"Li promised?" Hsinchu was talking, when suddenly a tall, handsome man's voice came from the door.

"Yes, just now the imperial doctor said that the young master is hopeless and can only wait to die. The servants don't believe me, please help the imperial physician!" Hsinchu didn't know who the man was, but she had no time to tell, she knelt on the ground He kowtowed again and again, blood oozing from his forehead.

"My lord, what are your orders?" Wang Taiyi saluted Xiao Lian respectfully.

"Oh, the queen mother has another headache."

"The old minister will go and have a look now."

"No hurry." Xiao Lian stopped and said, "Go and see this one first and agree. The Queen Mother has an old illness, and you know it."

"Yes, yes." Imperial Physician Wang carried the medicine box and came to Li Ying's hall amidst the thousands of thanks in Hsinchu.

Seeing Li Ying's face was red and swollen, and his breathing was not smooth, Imperial Physician Wang had a guess in his mind.

"Do you have any exotic flowers and plants in your palace?"

Hsinchu thought about it and said yes.

"Take me to see."

After looking at the flowers and plants in the garden, Doctor Wang waved his hand and said, "Pull them all out."

"Ah? This is planted by the little master so hard. Pull it up as soon as you say it. The little master just woke up and knew how distressed it must be..."

"Your little master's life is more important than these flowers and plants?"

"Of course it's my lord's life!"

"Then hurry up."

Hsinchu had no choice but to listen to Doctor Wang's words and throw out all the flowers and plants in full bloom in the garden. Unexpectedly, after taking a few doses of medicine prescribed by Doctor Wang, Li Ying really got better, her face was no longer swollen, and the red rash on her body also faded away. Breathing is also steady.

After recovering from the illness, Li Ying looked at the empty yard, and her heart was also empty. This was the only sustenance she had when she missed her family. At this moment, there was nothing left.

"My lord, it's all slaves who made their own claims, please forgive me." Hsinchu knelt on the ground and accepted the punishment.

"Get up, talk nonsense, you saved my life, I should thank you."

Seeing Li Ying's red eyes holding back tears, Hsinchu felt even more uncomfortable.

"Hsinchu, come with me to thank Doctor Wang."

"Yes."

The two went to the imperial hospital together, but they were all in vain because Wang imperial physician was not there.Li Ying was about to return to the palace, when suddenly a tall man blocked his way at the door.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of giving way, Li Ying hurriedly stepped aside.

Unexpectedly, not only did the man not take a detour, but he walked straight towards her.

Li Ying heard a deep male voice from above his head:

"Are you well?"
