Leisure days in the cold palace

Chapter 5 A Bowl of Fish Soup
"If I said I wanted your body, would you agree?"

The breath in the rainy night is particularly viscous and sluggish, even the occasional cold wind can't break the tightness in the chest.

After staying in the icy rain for a long time, he didn't feel cold, but the clothes that were sticky on his body gradually felt a rare warmth.

I was still standing in the knee-deep pool water, held in the arms of this strange man in front of me, but I couldn't feel any warmth.

He looked down at me, and I looked up to meet his cold eyes.The little hatred in the eyes was fleeting, and it was more of a coldness that chilled people to the bone.

The heavy rain was still pouring down, and the thunder and lightning joined in the fun at this time. I took advantage of the lightning to see his face clearly, and I only felt that the upward arc of this man's thin lips was shockingly indifferent. .

I don't know how Li Shuangwu offended him in the past, but now I have to bear the karma.

His right arm bound my waist like an iron hoop, but kept a proper distance.This distance can make me feel a lot of pressure, but it doesn't really stick to his body.

He stared at me with those black to blue eyes, like a leopard staring at its prey, or like a child staring at an enemy who robbed his toy.

I couldn't help thinking, it couldn't be the former Li Shuangwu who killed this man's wife, right?
There were too many things in my mind in an instant, but in the end I saw a flaw. This man looked at me with hatred and indifference, but he didn't have the desire or desire he said in his words.

So I smiled and stretched out my hand to push him away. Sure enough, he didn't forcefully persuade him to stay.

"This joke is not funny." I took a step back, pulled away from the oppressive feeling on his body, and let out a sigh of relief.

So he also smiled, the smile was handsome but alienated, like a crescent moon in the mist, even less human than the normal moonlight.

"If your body refuses to give, what else can you give?" He lowered his head slightly and smiled, but with a trace of complicated emotions.That trace of emotion is hidden in the wind and rain, and I can't understand it.

I looked down at the fish basket in my hand and said to him, "I have nothing to give, but I can give you a bowl of fish soup."

……

……

So he accepted such a bribe inexplicably, and instead of sending me directly to the jail of the Corrections Department, he came to the cold palace with me.

Along the way, he didn't have any extra words, just followed behind me, walking silently as if he didn't exist.

I was about a step ahead of him, and I was just silent in the wind and rain, but I could feel the strong emotions coming from behind.It's just that the emotion is sometimes like an iceberg, sometimes like a raging fire, but it gushes out to me all the time, which makes me feel a little suffocated.

I think, when Chunxi wakes up, I must ask him if he knows this man.

It's just... When Chunxi wakes up, I should be punished by the queen mother too.It's just that I don't know the rules in this palace, and what kind of punishment will I face if I am really brought to the Queen Mother.

I am a person who is very calm when it rains, so when I think about this, I feel a little calm.I think it is only one death at most, but for me who has died once, that word is not that scary.

It's just that no matter what, I want to make a bowl of fish soup for Chunxi, and I also hope that his illness will improve.

In this way, I came to the door of the cold palace. I pushed the door and walked in. Then I turned around and saw the man standing outside the door, looking at the plaque on the door in a daze.

The three words "Biquan Palace" were written on the plaque, the name was elegant, but who would have thought that it was a cold palace.

Lightning flashed across the sky again, and it was only for the first time that I could clearly see what he was wearing.

He doesn't have armor or soft armor, and it's not the guard's clothing I thought of.The saber was only hung obliquely on his waist, looking more like an ornament than a weapon for fighting.

He was wearing a black gown with wide belts, the wide gown was undulating in such wind and rain, and the sleeves of the clothes danced with the blue silk behind his shoulders, as if he would ride the wind away in the next moment.

If it were an ordinary person, after being drenched in such a heavy rain for a long time, he would have looked desolate and embarrassed, but his back was still straight in the wind and rain, and he was in a trance, like an exile.

Standing in the wind and rain, the slender figure was examining the ordinary plaque with complicated eyes.There seemed to be sadness and distress in those eyes, anger and pleasure, several emotions were circling and intertwined, and the complex ones were like willow branches disturbed by the night's wind and rain.

I was looking at him, but at this moment he withdrew his gaze and landed on me again.

I looked at him outside the door, and he looked at me outside the door.

In the cold wind and rain at night, I felt that this scene was a little familiar and a little heartache for no reason.

Not looking at him anymore, I put the fish basket beside the side room, then turned and walked towards the main room.

There were creaking doors and footsteps behind him, and he should have followed.

The temperature in the room was very reassuring. I glanced at Chunxi who was still sleeping on the bed, and found that his face seemed to be better.

I breathed a sigh of relief in relief, I didn't walk over immediately, but walked towards him after all the cold air brought back from my body dissipated.

After drying my hands, I went to test the temperature on Chunxi's forehead, and it was no longer serious, so I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind came in accompanied by raindrops. I hurriedly turned around and yelled at him to close the door in a low voice.

"He's caught a cold, and he can't stand the cold anymore," I said.

He took two steps forward, and after recognizing the person on the bed, he called softly: "Chunxi?"

There was an undisguised worry in that whisper, and I couldn't help being stunned, and my thoughts couldn't help but turn secretly—his wife that I snatched away, couldn't it be Chunxi?

Blinking his eyes, he had rushed to the bed and put his hands on his forehead.

I watched the "adultery" between the two of them, and confirmed the speculation in my heart.

"Why is it so hot? Even if he's just a servant, you should treat him as a human being. He's already sick like this. Why don't you hire a doctor for him!"

He questioned me almost sternly, and looking into his angry eyes, I didn't bother to argue, but said lightly: "You know, I can't leave this cold palace. I entrusted other court ladies and eunuchs to invite the imperial physician, but I still can't help it." Nobody came."

"I'll go now!"

Hearing this, he got up quickly and rushed to the door.

"Hey, wait a minute." I remembered something and called to him.

He suddenly turned his head and stared at me with hatred and hatred: "What? Do you have to watch him die in front of you?"

I was slightly taken aback by the hatred in that gaze, and when I came back to my senses, I laughed at myself and said lightly: "It's windy and rainy outside, take an umbrella and go."

He also seemed to be taken aback, his expression changed, and he turned around without taking the umbrella after all.

I looked at the closed door and shrugged, thinking, this guy has such a temper.

But it's very good, if he invites the imperial physician, Chunxi's illness will definitely be cured.

With some comfort in my heart, my tense nerves relaxed.Immediately, I felt a trace of cold crawling out from the depths of my body, which made me sneezed hard twice.

Afraid of waking Chunxi up, I quickly covered my mouth and left the main room.

No matter what, fish soup is a must.And I only have the rest of the night, after dawn, I will be sent to the Queen Mother.

Holding an umbrella and entering the ear room, I am not skilled in killing fish and starting a fire.

Probably because of the continuous heavy rain, the fish in the fish basket was not completely dead. When I stabbed it down, it still struggled and jumped a few times.

As a result, killing the fish turned into a bloody fight. After I stained the ear room with blood and I was in a mess, I finally cleaned up a fish.

Fortunately, the firewood was chopped before, but it was a little damp because of the rain, and it kept smoking after it was lit.

While flapping the cattail fan carelessly, I threw the fish into the pot, and by the way, I was choked by the smoke in the room and coughed up tears.

God bless you, this pot of fish soup must be made delicious, otherwise Chunxi will be in a hurry with me?
After working in a hurry for a long time, the delicious taste of fish soup finally began to permeate the ear chamber.

I was busy hearing the opening and closing of the palace gate, and hearing the voices of two men, I couldn't help but feel happy, I made the fire attendant a little smaller, and ran out of the ear room.

"Is the imperial doctor here?" I pushed open the door of the main room, and sure enough, I saw a middle-aged man taking Chunxi's pulse, and he was standing beside him with a worried expression on his face.

Seeing me, both of them were taken aback for a moment, and then I remembered that I was probably in a mess, and hurriedly wiped my hands with my apron, and said: "Don't worry about me, Mr. Imperial Physician, just feel free to check the pulse, Chunxi his illness How's it going?"

"It's the wind and cold, but it's just a little bit fierce. Fortunately, I've been recuperating these few days, so it didn't get worse. Just take a few doses of medicine and it'll be fine." The man next to him said: "Master Fang, don't worry, I will let them cook the medicine and send it over. After three doses of medicine, the disease will be almost cured."

That's when I found out that his surname was Fang.

"That's really thanks to Imperial Physician Hu!" He bowed his hands to the imperial physician, and the expression on his face relaxed a little.

After hearing this, I felt relieved, as long as Chunxi's condition is fine, everything will be fine.

I really didn't expect that I thought that meeting that person surnamed Fang was a collision with Tai Sui, but now it turned into a good thing.After inviting the imperial physician, Chunxi's illness should recover soon, and with my pot of fish soup, it will definitely be even better.

As for the punishment I will receive... I think it is a good thing for Chunxi, he shouldn't be here to accompany me, if I leave this time, he can let it go.

Yes, whether you want to or not, you can let go.

Thinking of these good things, I couldn't help but smile, then quietly exited the main room, and ran back to the ear room to finish the pot of fish soup.
