high official

Chapter 1031 Ruixue
Outside the sleeping hall, the lead cloud hangs low, and the north wind howls.In the sleeping hall, Concubine Wang Guifei, Huang He and others felt like beating drums in their hearts, looking at the aged emperor anxiously.

It has been three hours since Zhu Di took the elixir, and the expression on his face became more and more painful, which frightened everyone on the side.Especially Huang He, if this caused the emperor to go wrong, his few lives would not be enough to pay for it...

On the contrary, the old god Hu Laodao was there, as if he didn't worry about anything unusual about the emperor at all.

When it was almost time to turn on the lights, Zhu Di sat up from the recliner all of a sudden, his complexion twisted, and he glanced at Huang He with a strange expression.

Huang He understood immediately, and hurriedly supported the emperor to get up, turned behind the screen, and heard a crackle, and a strong stench filled the whole bedroom.

Concubine Wang Guifei and others were so confused, but none of them dared to cover their noses, because it was a gift from His Majesty the Emperor!
After finally waiting until the smell was not so strong, Zhu Di turned out from behind the screen with Huang He's support.

Wang Guifei looked at the emperor with concern, and saw that Zhu Di's expression was obviously much more relaxed, and his steps were much calmer than before.

"Haha, Daoist Hu is indeed a living god!" Zhu Di gave Hu Laodao a thumbs up, showing an extremely rare smile in the past few months: "I really feel much more comfortable!"

"Your Majesty still needs to continue taking pills." Hu Laodao smiled reservedly, and said with a feeling of not being proud of taking credit for it: "After taking the 81 pills of the Nine Turns, you will be free from all diseases and prolong your life!"

"Haha! Good! I hope so!" Zhu Di laughed heartily and said, "If you can do this, I will make you a national teacher and let the Taoist priest enjoy the glory of the world. Of course, the Taoist priest is a master of Taoism, maybe It's not rare."

"The emperor will build a few more Taoist temples at that time, which will be the merit of the poor." Hu Laodao really had the posture of a master of Taoism.

"No problem!" Zhu Di readily agreed.

At this time, another eunuch came in with a happy face outside the door, and reported in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty, it's snowing! It's finally snowing heavily!"

"Oh, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor! Double happiness!" Huang He flattered almost reflexively.

"Oh?" Zhu Di heard that Long Yan was very happy. Since the beginning of winter last year, there has been almost no precipitation in the whole of the north. It seems that a severe drought in the coming year is inevitable.Once a large-scale disaster occurs, it will be a fatal blow to the finances of the Ming Dynasty, which is on the verge of bankruptcy.Therefore, when Zhu Di heard the heavy snow that was long overdue, he felt the haze in his heart, and it disappeared without a trace. look!"

The crowd couldn't hold back the excited emperor, so they had to help him to the door of the bedroom. Through the deep doorway, he saw heavy snow like goose feathers falling down one after another. It didn't take long for the entire courtyard to be covered with a layer of white blanket. ...

"Okay!" Zhu Di nodded happily, his eyes were red and choked with sobs: "God has not abandoned me, the destiny is still with me, not with others..."

Everyone around Zhu Di knew that most of the reason why the emperor's chronic illness was so serious this time was because of his heart disease.What happened in the past year was too heavy a blow for the emperor, making this man who once stood proudly in the world feel like he was about to be crushed...

Everyone also wiped away their tears excitedly, scrambling to compliment Zhu Di enthusiastically. Zhu Di was overjoyed to hear that, and felt the long-lost strength and ambition return to his body.

'Those traitors and thieves who thought I was dying and dared to act recklessly, I want you to always remember this lesson! "Zhu Di looked up at the dark sky that could not be seen, and shouted silently in his heart: "Whoever dares to disobey will die without a place to die!" "

.

The blizzard came as soon as it was said, and the howling north wind rolled the snow all over the sky, covering the mountains, rivers, roads and cottages in the North China Plain in a white world.In the wind and snow, you can't see your fingers when you stretch out your hand, and you can't hear the sound from the opposite side, but even in this kind of wind and snow, a team of 3000 people is still trekking northward with difficulty.

This was of course the army escorting the Buddha's mother to Beijing. The old eunuch Zhao Ying was riding on a horse, wrapped in thick fur, with only a pair of eyes exposed, staring at the prison cart in front of him with difficulty.The woman in the prison van was covered in falling snow and had turned into a snowman...

The eunuch in charge at the side asked the old eunuch to get off his horse several times to escape the wind and snow in the carriage, but Zhao Ying refused.The weather-beaten old eunuch knew very well that the worse the weather, the more troubles would happen.He must keep a close eye on the prison car, and must not give anyone a chance.Apart from the female prisoners on the prison van, the old eunuch was always thinking about the team ahead.It's a pity that the wind and snow were too heavy, and he couldn't see that far at all, so he could only ask over and over again: "Is there any change in Wang Xian's place?"

"Old Ancestor, don't worry, the children surrounded him tightly, even if he puts on wings, he won't be able to fly away." Although he had already answered many times, the eunuch in charge still answered tirelessly.He also suggested with some worries: "Old ancestor, I'm afraid this day is not suitable for marching. Let's find a place to stay and wait for the snow to stop before we leave."

"That's good." Zhao Yingxin said that indeed, marching in this terrible weather really can't go very far.

Seeing that Zhao Ying agreed, the eunuch in charge hurriedly ordered to go down and find a place to camp.After a while, scouts reported that there was a Taoist temple not far ahead for shelter.

"Let's go there!" The eunuch in charge was overjoyed when he heard this, and yelled against the wind and snow, but was swallowed by the northwestern wind with snow particles in it.

After walking forward with difficulty for a mile, the Taoist temple on the mountainside showed its outline in the wind and snow.

When the brigade of soldiers and horses surrounded Zhao Ying and his party arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, the Taoist priests in the temple had already been ordered, and they all huddled and waited at the gate trembling.

Zhao Ying looked up at the plaque of the Taoist temple, and saw the three ancient characters of "Shengxianguan", then he ignored the Taoist priests and rode straight into the mountain gate.

"Go in," the eunuch in charge commanded a group of Jinyi guards to push the heavy prison car into the courtyard. When the prison car stopped, the eunuch in charge rushed to Zhao Ying's side and waited for the ancestor's order.

The old eunuch stood under the door of the palace, slowly moving his numb legs, his eyes did not leave the prison car, Tang Sai'er, who seemed to have frozen into a snowman, asked, "Where is Wang Xian?"

"They were placed in a side courtyard." The eunuch in charge took the hot tea offered by the old Taoist and gave it to Zhao Ying with both hands.

Zhao Ying took the hot tea, held it in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Please let him live in the main hall with our family.

"I've grown up so much, and I've never been cared so much before." Before the old eunuch finished his sentence, Wang Xian's sarcasm sounded, and he was seen walking out of the courtyard with a quilt in his arms.

"What is Uncle doing?" Zhao Ying glanced at the quilt in Wang Xian's hand.

"She must freeze to death if she spends the night in the ice and snow." Wang Xian walked straight to the prison car, and said coldly, "If she dies, who will suffer?"

Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of guarding the prison car, stood in front of Wang Xian and said in a low voice, "Don't come close."

"Go away!" Wang Xian snorted coldly, and slapped the Jin Yiwei to the ground.

The other Jin Yiwei didn't dare to step forward, but they didn't dare to just step aside, they all looked timidly at the old eunuch.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and send the quilt over for uncle." Zhao Ying glanced at the eunuch in charge.

The eunuch just woke up like a dream, and hurried to Wang Xian, put his hands on the quilt, and smiled apologetically: "How can such a small matter be troublesome, uncle, let's do it at home."

Wang Xian stared at the eunuch in charge coldly for a while, but finally let go of his hand.

The eunuch in charge groped the entire quilt and found no foreign matter entrained in it, then nodded to Zhao Ying, and stuffed the quilt into the prison car.

In the prison car, Tang Sai'er, who was already covered in snow, rolled his eyes after a while, slowly pulled the quilt to his face, and wrapped it tightly around his body...

Wang Xian looked at Tang Sai'er's frozen face with an extremely gloomy expression, then turned and left.

"Uncle, please go to the main hall for a squeeze." Behind him, the old eunuch's voice sounded: "Why don't we come to your place for a squeeze?"

"I think it's too embarrassing." Wang Xian said without turning his head, "If you dare to come, come."

"Huh!" Eunuchs leak urine due to cleansing, so there is always a lingering smell of urine on their bodies, which is also what eunuchs are most afraid of being mentioned by others.Now that Wang Xian mentioned it openly, Zhao Ying's face turned dark, staring at his back with hatred, gritting his teeth and being speechless.

As for going to Wang Xian's side courtyard to watch on the spot, the old eunuch didn't dare - there are hundreds of guns in the courtyard!He was shot once by muskets by Wang Xian and his wife, and he has already suffered a psychological shadow...

"Take someone to follow," Zhao Ying looked at the eunuch in charge, and ordered in a deep voice, "You must not let him leave the yard!"

"Yes." The eunuch in charge had no choice but to bite the bullet and take on this arduous task.

.

In the side courtyard, there were three south rooms and two wing rooms, which were filled to the brim by Wang Xian and his men, and the people from the East Factory could only squat in the yard.At night, the north wind blew heavily, and the people who were beaten by snow foam crackled and turned dizzy. The Dongchang fans couldn't make a fire, but could only huddle together, shivering from the cold, and soon lost consciousness all over their bodies...

In the house, the firewood was burning, at least it was warm by the fire.Wang Xian helped Gu Xiaolian to sit down by the fire, wrapped her tightly with a fur, and checked again that there would be no air leakage.Then he squatted beside the fire and carefully boiled medicine for her.He never pretended to be the hands of Dai Hua and others for these tasks. In the past, Tang Sai'er could help him when he was there, but now he does it himself from the beginning to the end.

After serving Gu Xiaolian, Wang Xian was able to carelessly eat a few mouthfuls of food, then hugged Gu Xiaolian in his arms, wrapped it tightly in fur, looked at the jumping fire, and hummed a little song for her in a low voice, That's what Gu Xiaolian once sang to him...

"Snowflakes flutter like fluff, and plum blossoms smell like musk.

Snowflakes fell on the plum blossoms in pieces,

The plum blossom bursts to release the fragrance.

Plum hair is white, snow is plum fragrant,
The two of us are as close as each other..."
