Chaos in the Chu Palace

Chapter 72 The Heart of a Woman (1)
It was still cold in Chudi in April, not to mention that in the middle of the night, although Ouyang Ruo had a cloak on her body, the chill from her knees still made her shudder.But her heart still gradually calmed down at this moment.What made the Queen so furious?Would rather Chu Huotian wake up and punish her?Could it be because Chu Huotian was injured because of her?But one thing is already obvious, the queen can no longer tolerate her existence.

Ouyang Ruo shivered, closed his eyes, and kept chanting.The Buddha said that there is no sorrow, no joy, no love and no hatred, but now she clearly only has that full of hatred in her heart.It was only at this time that she really understood that in the Chu Palace, she did not have the status and power to compete with the queen. She was like the most humble grass, trampled into the soil by her, and could never stand up again.

If she can get through tonight, if she can get through tonight... Ouyang Ruo stared at her knees that gradually trembled and became numb bit by bit.

By God!By God!
One day, she will let the queen know that she, Ouyang Ruo, is not the kind of fish waiting to be slaughtered by her!
"Empress Empress..." A soft and cautious call awakened the dozing queen who rested her chin on one hand.The queen raised her eyes and saw that it was Ziye, the maid next to her.

She rubbed her forehead, her face was deeply tired: "What's the matter, but the emperor has woken up?"

Ziye knelt in front of her and said cautiously: "The emperor didn't sleep well, he just called someone's name..." She said carefully, constantly looking at the queen's face.

The queen said "hmm": "So what's the matter? Just give the emperor some water, what did the imperial doctor say?"

Zi Ye said: "The imperial doctor said that as long as the emperor doesn't have a fever, he will wake up early in the morning, the empress..." She hesitated to speak, but dared not continue.

"What are you doing?! Say something quickly!" the queen said angrily.She had been busy for a day, and at night she kept vigil for the emperor, so she naturally had a bad temper.

"The empress really wants Rou Fangyi to kneel down?" Ziye asked cautiously: "Your servant sees that she has been kneeling for almost an hour, kneel down again..."

"Bold! You slavish slave! I have raised you for many years, but you are speaking for outsiders!" The queen was furious, and she wanted to fight.

Ziye hastily kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down! This servant is also doing it for the Empress's sake! If the Emperor wakes up and sees something wrong with Rou Fangyi, and if she cries to the Emperor, wouldn't the Empress be... the Emperor is in a coma At that time, they were all reciting Rou Fangyi's name, so the servants were afraid that the empress would be impulsive..."

"You damn girl! What you want, can't you think of it later?! If you don't let her die half-life at this time, it's better that the evil seeds in her belly go too. In the future, the emperor's treatment of her Beloved, do you still have a position as the empress! Hmph...I want to see, if she makes a fuss today, the evil seeds in her belly can still be kept!" The queen said as she walked to the gate of the palace, and from a distance, she saw She was dressed in plain color, kneeling tremblingly in front of the hall, like a white bird with its wings broken.

"The maidservant understands, it's just that the empress is not worried that the emperor will wake up and punish her..." Ziye asked cautiously again.

The corner of the empress' lips curled into a sneer: "Did this empress ask her to kneel? It was she who felt guilty and insisted on kneeling in front of the palace to pray for the emperor. It is useless for me to persuade you in every possible way..." She stared at her with a smile that was not a smile. Looking at Ziye's panicked face: "You all saw it with your own eyes, didn't you?!"

Seeing her expression, Ziye's heart trembled suddenly, and she nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, all the slaves have seen it."

The queen smiled with satisfaction: "Not only you can see it, but all the servants in the palace must also see it, go down, let the palace people in the palace take a good look, and learn the loyalty of Empress Rou Fangyi. "

Ziye didn't dare to raise her head, so she could only nod her head again and again, and retreated hastily.The queen looks really scary like that.

Ouyang Ruo!You bitch from Huadi!The queen tugged at her long sleeves of the phoenix suit, and a vicious light shot out from her eyes. This time, half of her life will be taken away.No matter how furious the emperor woke up, she made up her mind.She wants to see, in Chu Huotian's heart, is her family from the Zhao family more important, or Ouyang Ruo, a powerless and powerless slut from Huadi, who is more important!
Ouyang Ruo didn't know how long he had been kneeling, his legs were already numb, his body was hot and cold, and the two heavens of fire and ice were intertwined on his body.She gritted her teeth, cold sweat dripping down her face, dripping on her knees bit by bit.Who will save her now?There was a hopeless thought in her desperate heart.Who will save her and her child.I don't know if it was because she knelt for too long that she had an auditory hallucination.

"Rou Fangyi, what are you doing?!" Someone snorted coldly, seemingly dissatisfied.

Ouyang Ruo turned her head with difficulty, only to see Mrs. Xu standing behind her.The hope in Ouyang Ruo's heart was extinguished again.Xu Shi was still dressed in white, but her beautiful face looked like a beautiful female ghost at this moment.

"The concubine is serving the queen... the queen ordered me to kneel here and recite Buddhist scriptures to pray for the emperor... the emperor..." Ouyang Ruo said with difficulty.A little movement on the knee is like a needle prick.

"Hmph, it's just your small body. Get up! It's not the time to make trouble. Come!" Xu yelled, and two servants came up behind him.

"Bring Empress Rou Fangyi back to the palace! If someone stops you, say it's an order from this palace, and if the empress asks her, tell her to come to this palace." Xu snorted coldly.

The two servants stepped forward and lifted Ouyang Ruo.Ouyang Ruo couldn't even stand steadily, so he had to stand on one side alone.

Ouyang Ruo was startled: "You... Aren't you afraid that the empress will punish you with you?" Xu said coldly: "Just her?! An old temptress! You kneel when she tells you to kneel? Usually Look at you, a transparent person, how stupid you are like a pig at this time. You are not afraid that your child will suffer together with you. Humph! She told you to kneel, but Ben Gong just asked you to get up, to see what she can do with Ben Gong " She said bluntly, and then poached Ouyang Ruo a few times with her beautiful eyes.

Ouyang Ruo's heart warmed, knowing that she came late at night, she must have rushed over after hearing the news.It looked like she wanted to fight against the queen all by herself.

"Ms. Xu Guipin, this can't be done!" Ouyang Ruo hurriedly said as soon as she thought about it.

"Impossible?!" Xu Shi suddenly smiled coldly, looking at the closed palace door, suddenly laughed: "Why can't I be allowed! I will do whatever I say. Let's go!"

She spoke bluntly, but before she took a few steps, the guard of the Royal Forest Army suddenly stepped forward and stopped her: "Your concubine, the empress has given orders..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu's plain hand raised, and with a "slap", he slapped his face: "You dog slave, don't even look at who I am. Get out!"

The guard of the Imperial Forest Army was so beaten up by her that he suddenly dared not speak.

Mrs. Xu sneered: "Slave who bullies others! Good dogs don't get in the way! Get the hell out of my way!"

She went out first, and the palace people behind quickly followed, Ouyang Ruo became more and more anxious seeing her so reckless, the closed palace door opened again, and the queen came out angrily.

"The empress didn't know when Xu Guifei and Rou Fangyi had such a good relationship." She said coldly, her long phoenix dress dragged past, like blood under the deep night.

Mrs. Xu turned her head high, saluted arrogantly, and then smiled: "The concubine saw that the empress was taking care of the emperor, and she was so taken care of that she was so dizzy that she even forgot that Rou Fangyi was still pregnant with a dragon seed. The concubine is not talented. , so I came here to take a look, in case the prayer fails and I see blood again, it will be very ominous."

The queen glanced at her, and said with a sneer: "Auspicious and inauspicious, can you say that it is inauspicious? If you want to kneel with Rou Fangyi and pray for the emperor, you will be fulfilled later. Come on! Detain them Kneeling, I just want to see if your back is harder or the sword in the guard's hand is harder!"

Xu's face turned pale, and seeing the guards coming up again, she shouted, "Who dares to come up!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Ouyang Ruo struggled to get down.

She repeatedly said: "Empress, this is not about Xu Guifei's business, just let the concubine kneel alone, let Xu Guifei go back..." She was panicked, and her voice became more and more muffled.

Xu said angrily: "Shut up! Can she spare you if you beg her?! Bengong kneels on the ground, just not kneeling to this vicious woman! If we want to make us kneel, unless we are all dead .” She gave Ouyang Ruo a hard look, as if angry at her for failing to live up to her expectations.

After being stared at by her like this, Ouyang Ruo suddenly came to her senses, and said with a dazed smile, "Yes, unless we are all dead!"

Seeing that the two of them seemed crazy, the queen didn't pay attention to her at all, and trembled with anger: "Come here! Come here!..."

Suddenly someone came over with a cold smile: "What's wrong with the empress? It's midnight, why are all the ladies coming to see the excitement here?"

The three of them followed the prestige and saw Zhao Qingling in a green shirt, followed by Dexuan, walking over leisurely.

His clear eyes seemed to turn around inadvertently on the faces of the three of them, and then he saluted the queen and said, "Empress, what is going on? Why are these two empresses looking so ugly? What disease?"

The queen was at a loss for words. Although Zhao Qingling was no longer an official in the court, his special and honorable status was not comparable to that of ordinary people.Today, the emperor was assassinated, and he was the one who treated the emperor for the treatment of the poison.

Seeing that the queen didn't answer, Zhao Qingling just smiled and said: "It's even deeper, the emperor is fine now, the empresses should go back to the palace separately."

The queen's expression was not good when she heard the words, and she sneered, "The two of them are loyal and want to pray for the emperor. I can't stop the empress, Mr. Zhao, you came at the right time, do you think they should continue to kneel, or go back to the palace? "

Xu's complexion darkened when he heard this, and he was about to explode.

Zhao Qingling suddenly laughed: "Looking at it, the emperor's injury is fine, kneeling down is nothing more than unnecessary, what does the empress think?"

The queen's face was ashen, and she gave Xu a hard look, it was this woman who made trouble!

"Since Mr. Zhao said it, that's all. It's just that the Buddha can't be deceived. He has to do what he says. I don't know what to do in the future. I want to let go but I'm afraid that the Buddha will blame me." She sighed deliberately.

Zhao Qingling was still smiling, but there was already a hint of anger in his eyes.

At this time Xu suddenly said loudly: "Isn't it just kneeling to pray for blessings? Let me kneel for Rou Fangyi together." She said, kneeling on the ground with a plop, closed her eyes and began to recite the "Prajna Sutra".

Seeing her like this, Ouyang Ruo had tears in her eyes, but she couldn't say a word.

Zhao Qingling also smiled and said: "This is very good, tomorrow Zhao will definitely praise Xu Guifei's intentions in front of the emperor." As he said, he passed Ouyang Ruo in the palace man's hand.

He carefully held her in his arms.His behavior was out of the ordinary, and the queen couldn't help but angrily said: "Mr. Zhao, how could you do this?"

Ouyang Ruo was also terrified, the scent of medicine from Zhao Qingling's body continuously wafted to her nose.She was about to speak, Zhao Qingling shook her head lightly at her, and grabbed her pulse door with her backhand. Ouyang Ruo felt that the power from his hand was like a gentle warm current flowing to her limbs, and suddenly she was no longer cold. gotta tremble.

He turned out to be armed with martial arts!Ouyang Ruo was shocked, and then calmed down. No one in the court knew that Zhao Qingling had the secret of martial arts, and now he was doing this to keep himself out of the cold.

The empress scolded again, and Zhao Qingling's skill continued, and she just said indifferently: "The empress's words are wrong. Zhao is only a doctor now, and the doctor's parents have no defense against men and women in her eyes. Empress Rou Fangyi's body is cold, and Zhao I'm afraid that the palace servants don't know how to take care of her, so I have to work harder and carry her on my own." After he finished speaking, he didn't look at the queen again, and just strode away.Dexuan behind him also hurriedly followed, holding up the palace lantern to clear the way ahead.

The queen stomped her feet fiercely, and looked at Mrs. Xu who was chanting sutras next to her. Her anger couldn't be vented, so she said fiercely: "You want to kneel, right? If you don't get the emperor's will, don't even think about getting up!" she said Finished and left hard.

Seeing her angrily disappearing in front of her eyes, Xu smiled coldly, and went straight to recite the Buddhist scriptures.

Zhao Qingling walked so fast that even Dexuan couldn't keep up. When he arrived at Yunxiang Palace, he carried Ouyang Ruo and went straight into the inner room. Dexuan hurriedly ordered someone to bring ginger soup and hot water.

Wan Hui struggled to be helped by the maid, and seeing Ouyang Ruo's pale face, she couldn't help crying: "Madam, I told you not to go, you should go, but now you are sent to your door to be beaten."

She was still waiting to cry, Zhao Qingling said slightly angrily: "Stand back, Mr. Zhao is going to give your mother an injection." After saying that leaving Dexuan alone, she untied Ouyang Ruo's coat and gave her the injection.

The room was silent, only the sound of the three people breathing slightly.Zhao Qingling touched Ouyang Ruo's sleeping acupoint, worked hard to drive away the cold air in her body, and finally fed her the elixir he brought with him, and he was relieved.

Ouyang Ruo slept until the afternoon of the second day. When she woke up, she suddenly saw Chu Huotian's pale face enlarged in front of her eyes.

She always thought that she was having a dream, so she reached out and touched Chu Huotian's face, and said with a smile: "Huo Lang, did I have a dream, how could you be here?"

Chu Huotian looked at her for a while, but without saying a word, he suddenly hugged her tightly to his chest.The familiar smell rushed over, and Ouyang Ruo's tears fell without warning.Little by little, it landed on his shoulders and wet his clothes.There is no need to say anything, as long as he is well, it is his greatest happiness.Ouyang Ruo only felt that he had never felt happy and lucky at this moment in his life.Life and death, love and hate, everything is in this moment.

Children, and children!Ouyang Ruo woke up with a start, and when she felt her stomach was still there, she cried and laughed, grabbed Chu Huotian's hand and touched her stomach.

"Huo Lang, Huo Lang, our child is still..." She fell into his arms and wept uncontrollably.

There is a small life there that exists firmly, as if telling the two people how precious life is with his own little life.

Chu Huotian was also excited, and kissed her beautiful eyes that kept leaking tears: "Why are you so stupid, so stupid..."

The two were excited for a while before they stabilized.

Ouyang Ruo held Chu Huotian's hand tightly, and asked repeatedly: "How is the emperor's injury, why did you come here?"

Chu Huotian hugged her, and said with a smile: "A little injury is nothing. It's just that there was poison on the dart and I was unconscious for a while. By the way, I heard from the queen that you and Mrs. Xu insisted on kneeling outside the palace to pray for me." , you are so stupid, you are not in good health, why are you still so stubborn?"

Ouyang Ruo froze when he heard the words, and after thinking about it, he restrained himself and stopped talking.Unexpectedly, Wan Hui had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and upon hearing this sentence, she rushed in crying and told everything about last night.

Ouyang Ruo's complexion turned pale, and Chu Huo Tianbian was also livid.When Wan Hui finished speaking, the veins on his forehead twitched a few times. Ouyang Ruo saw that his complexion was not good, and said repeatedly: "Auntie, go down first."

Wan Hui felt unwilling, so Ouyang Ruo hurriedly signaled Ming Ying to help her down.They just retreated.

Chu Huotian's sword eyebrows were deeply furrowed, Ouyang Ruo shook his clenched iron fist and said softly: "Your Majesty, how is Xu Guifei now?"

Chu Huotian frowned and said, "I fainted, I have already called the imperial doctor." After he finished speaking, his handsome face became angry: "Now the empress is getting more and more outrageous. Did she beat you last night? "

Ouyang Ruo felt sore in his heart, wanted to shake his head, but the tears rolled down again.

Seeing her expression, Chu Huotian knew that she must have suffered a lot of grievances last night. He sighed, hugged her and said quietly: "You think she is so daring, but you just see that I dare not do anything to her. I With her, there is only the name of husband and wife, not the reality of husband and wife. She has resentment in her heart and dare not express it to me, and seeing that I love you so much, she can only vent her anger on you."

Ouyang Ruo froze when she heard the words, she simply vented her resentment towards Chu Huotian on herself, she clearly wanted to die before she could rest.Listening to Chu Huotian's tone, it seems that the influence of the Queen's Zhao family is really deep-rooted, so big that even Chu Huotian is afraid of it.After this incident, what will happen to the queen, her, and the Xu family?Ouyang Ruo lay quietly on Chu Huotian's chest, listening to his heartbeat.

The road ahead will be more difficult.She sighed softly.

Chu Huotian left the Yunxiang Palace and took the dragon to go all the way to the Ganlu Palace. The injury on his back still needs to rest, and he won't be able to go to court early for a few days.You have to make good arrangements for the government affairs of the next few days.He rested his jaw with one hand, frowned slightly, and wanted to calm down, but he couldn't. Ouyang Ruo's teary eyes were always shining in front of his eyes.

What's going on here?His mind would be swayed by a woman.Even though he knew that he liked her and loved her, her grievances and resentments were still entwined in his heart like silk.

Messed up... Ever since he was informed that her car was running wildly and disappeared, his heart was in a state of confusion.So he personally ordered three thousand Yulin Jun Erlang to go to the rescue.At that time, he only wanted to save her, but he didn't expect that his actions would make the government and the harem think that as an emperor, his emotions and anger could not be shown on the surface, he was too impatient.But again, he will still be like this.

It turned out to be such a feeling to be angry at the crown.He rubbed his cheek wryly.

"Changing the road, go to the Queen's Fengyi Hall!" He shouted in a deep voice.Li Jing was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly passed on the words.

The car rolled and rolled, heading for the Queen's Fengyi Hall.After a little while, Chu Huotian's dragon arrived, the queen seemed to know that he would come, dressed in a phoenix crown, kneeling respectfully in front of the hall with a group of palace people to greet him.Chu Huotian stepped down from the dragon, and the queen stepped forward very attentively. Chu Huotian glanced at her and didn't say anything.
