Work overtime

Hearing Han Ziqian's words, Jiang Yuebai turned around, her eyes bright red.

But it's not what Han Ziqian sees every day. Jiang Yuebai has digested and absorbed the essence of Teacher Xi Shi's course into his bones and transformed it into his own style.

The light shone on Jiang Yuebai's body, completely washing away his usual alienation and reserve. He was as fragile and pitiful as a little rabbit bullied by a fox. But with a playful and wild attitude that doesn't admit defeat.

Han Ziqian felt as if someone had written a few words in his heart with a wolf-brush pen.

But what exactly he wrote was unknown to him.

All I know is that my heart trembled and I felt a different kind of feeling. But it was suppressed by powerful rationality.

He said very coldly: "Open your mouth and drink the medicine."

The medicine fell into his throat and was terribly painful. Jiang Yuebai's whole face wrinkled up.

Han Ziqian wiped the corners of Jiang Yuebai's mouth and said lightly, "Just be patient."

He added, "I'll give you a piece of candy after you drink it."

Jiang Yuebai was in a trance for a moment. She looked like this when she gave medicine to her sister.

Her mother coaxed her, but because she was afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, Jinxiu ran around the yard with her mother chasing after her.

The mother had no choice but to hand it over to Jiang Yuebai. She just had to be like Han Ziqian and tell her sister with a cold face that when she was sick, she had to take medicine. She had to drink the medicine and have candy or snacks afterward.

The fierce look was exactly the same as Han Ziqian's.

At that time, I didn't understand why my sister looked like she was going to kill her every time she drank the medicine, pouting with a look of reluctance. Only now do I know that medicine can be really bitter, so bitter that it makes you want to cry.

But at that time, I blamed my sister for being squeamish.

……

Jiang Yuebai finished the bowl of medicine with tears in his eyes.

She raised her eyelids and glanced at Han Ziqian.

He sat silently in the light and shadow, his eyes and brows as indifferent and profound as ever.

Looking at the tears and painful expression in Jiang Yuebai's eyes, Han Ziqian thought it was because the medicine was too bitter.

Silently, he peeled off a piece of candy and put it into Jiang Yuebai's mouth.

"Eat a piece of candy and the pain will no longer be bitter."

Jiang Yuebai didn't speak, just ate the candy in silence, savoring the sweetness of the candy.

Thinking back on what had happened these past few days, I wondered if I had gone too far in my pretense and might have aroused their suspicion.

Han Ziqian asked, "You haven't eaten much for several days. Are you hungry?"

The Five Zang Temple seemed to have heard the call and actually responded with a coo. This made Jiang Yuebai very embarrassed.

Han Ziqian listened, and the corner of his mouth curved slightly, "If you are hungry, I have boiled osmanthus red bean paste in the kitchen, which can replenish blood. Do you want to use some?"

At this time, Jiang Yuebai was satisfied with the sweet taste, but wanted the salty taste, "I want to eat something salty. Let's have a bowl of mutton soup."

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

But Han Ziqian ruthlessly refused: "You can't eat mutton soup now. If you want something salty, you can drink some chicken soup made with medicinal diet."

"Then let's have some chicken soup. Forget it, during the national mourning period, you can't kill or eat meat."

"The Emperor has specifically issued a decree. You are in a special situation and do not have to follow this rule."

"No. Just drink sweet-scented osmanthus and red bean paste." Jiang Yuebai didn't want to violate filial piety at this time and give others a handle.

In ancient times, being unfilial was a serious crime. No matter how good you were in other areas, it was an unforgivable crime.

Jiang Yuebai suddenly got up and asked Chef Yu, "How is Chef Yu?"

Han Ziqian was silent for a while and told Jiang Yuebai that Chef Yu still couldn't bear it. He went there last night and he had arranged a proper burial.

Jiang Yuebai stared blankly into the void.

He kept replaying the scene where Chef Yu rushed in front of him without hesitation, was shot into a hedgehog but refused to fall down, waving his arms.

I feel salty in my heart.

If Chef Yu hadn't stepped forward, he would have been the one who died.

I just feel that these days, one after another bad news is like a stormy sea crashing on the shore, which makes my brain hurt. Even if the good luck and miracle charm is used, even if the operation is successful, diseases that cannot be cured with the current medical level will still be incurable.

Birth, aging, illness and death are just like scenes that happen every day in modern hospitals.

Even if you hire the best doctor, use the best medicine, and use up all your luck, miracles are not bound to happen.

People who would have died will still die.

Jiang Yuebai felt very depressed.

Han Ziqian was silent for a while and then said, "The queen was kidnapped when Mrs. Xie shot you. I heard she had regained consciousness during the kidnapping."

His original intention was to comfort Jiang Yuebai. Although Mrs. Xie shot her, she also lost her most beloved daughter and paid a heavy price.

Jiang Yuebai said lightly, "Hmm," "It's two different things."

She had just figured this out.

Since the queen can take the initiative to commit suicide, it means that first she has a clear consciousness and secondly she has the ability to act. This means that the queen definitely did not wake up that night, but she woke up for a while. Mrs. Xie and the Queen deliberately concealed it.

But what’s the point of figuring this out?

In the face of great disasters, personal grievances are so insignificant.

Now Mrs. Xie must be regretting and blaming herself for not staying at Kunning Palace that night. After all, the queen is dead, and a dead person cannot be resurrected.

The emperor knew full well that Mrs. Xie shot Jiang Yuebai, but it was impossible to punish the murderer. We can only pretend to be completely ignorant and put all the blame on King Pingxi.

Jiang Yuebai didn't have any joy in schadenfreude.

Thinking of the chaos that night, Jiang Yuebai asked, "Were any other concubines injured that night? Who is in charge of harem affairs now?"

Han Ziqian said unhurriedly, "Two people died, and three were injured, all with minor injuries. Before the emperor left, he told you that you will still be in charge of the affairs of the harem. In the past few days, the harem's concubines have been crying in the funeral palace, and there is basically no It's important. When you feel better, you can call them over to pay your respects."

Jiang Yuebai was shocked after hearing this, and quickly asked, "Which two concubines are gone?"

"I heard they are two selected attendants. I'll call Li Qiu to tell you later."

Jiang Yuebai asked again, "How is Xi Ronghua and Concubine Jing's pregnancy? Are Concubine and Concubine awake?"

I sighed in my heart, if there was a Tumu Fort Incident and Li Beihong ascended the throne later, the pregnant concubines in the harem, including myself, would be very embarrassed.

Han Ziqian expected that Jiang Yuebai would be concerned about this information after he woke up, so he ordered Li Qiu, another young palace maid in Taorui Palace, to go to the funeral palace to cry on behalf of Jiang Yuebai, and to inquire and collect relevant information every day.

"Xi Ronghua is now promoted to Xi Jieyu. The fetus is unstable and she is lying in bed. Jiang Xian is taking care of her. Concubine Jing was demoted to a commoner because of her father Chen Ang's rebellion and was thrown into the cold palace. It is unknown whether she had a miscarriage. "

Jiang Yuebai said "hmm" without any emotion.

The emperor would naturally not take action against his own heirs. But with Concubine Jing's arrogance and bad temper, she would probably have a miscarriage on her own after being thrown into the cold palace.

But before running away that day, Prime Minister Chen threatened himself that if Concubine Jing was treated, he would repay her brother twice as much.

He wasn't sure whether this was true or not, but Jiang Yuebai didn't dare to bet.

She originally thought that the emperor would be concerned about her brother's safety, and would use Concubine Jing's pregnancy as an excuse to delay handling her until he found her brother.

Who knew that the emperor would deal with those involved in the rebellion without hesitation or mercy, even if he was pregnant with his own heir?

Jiang Yuebai realized that she had underestimated the emperor's ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness.

Jiang Yuebai forced herself to calm down and asked in a deep voice, "Did Young Master Han give the letter to the emperor?"

"Hand it over." Han Ziqian paused, "The Emperor still has a letter for you."

Jiang Yuebai opened the letter and saw that the emperor's intention was to tell her to take good care of her injuries and wait for him to come back to create a prosperous and prosperous world together in the future. He was full of affection, but he did not mention that he would find a brother for her.

If it were any other concubine, they would be moved to tears when they saw the emperor's love letter of eternal love.

But Jiang Yuebai is not.

She values ​​what a person does more than what a person says.

My heart is very cold.

She didn't know whether the emperor forgot to mention it or didn't mention it on purpose.

Han Ziqian watched as the light in Jiang Yuebai's eyes disappeared little by little.

"Master Han, do you have any news about my brother?"
