Chapter 57

Chapter 51 Chapter 48

The first snow in Wan'an's ten-year winter finally fell flutteringly. It was later than in previous years, but it came quickly. The gray sky seemed to cool down in an instant, and it was caught off guard.

Li Zihe's head was dizzy, he clearly noticed the heavy quilt on his body, but he still felt cold, curled up and shrank back into the quilt, a pair of warm hands touched his forehead, it was very comfortable, he couldn't help rubbing against it rub.

Shen Mo glanced at the soup and medicine by the table, sighed, sat down against the edge of the bed, gently lifted the quilt covering Li Zihe's head with both hands, Li Zihe closed his eyes tightly, and shrank again.

"Zihe, how about getting up and drinking the medicine?" Shen Mo whispered, and helped her up with both hands.

Li Zihe is a little confused, drink medicine?
The weather is too cold these days, especially in her hut. Shen Mo was worried that she would hurt her femur after staying in the house for a long time, so she moved all her medical books to his room, lit the stove, and took the lunch break by his side. The place where the two were discussing matters was also moved over.

The reason why my body was too weak in the past, I started to feel sleepy in winter, and I fell asleep very easily. I remember that I just lay down for a while, why did I have to drink medicine?
Li Zihe followed the strength of Shen Mo's hands to prop up his body, squeezed his fists, only to find that he was really weak all over, probably because of the wind and cold.

Shen Mo sat inside, let Li Zihe lean on him, picked up the medicine bowl at hand and handed it to her mouth, and said softly: "It's just a little cold, drink some medicine, and you'll be fine tomorrow."

She had always believed in Shen Mo's medical skills, so she drank it without hesitation.

"The medicine you asked me to bring to Lord Feng last time...was actually a lie to me, right?" Li Zihe wiped the corner of his mouth with his eyelids downcast, unable to see his emotions.

"No." Shen Mo put down the bowl, helped Li Zihe steady, and said lightly: "At that time, I didn't know what kind of poison Mr. Feng had. If the poison wasn't too severe, then the medicine could still help."

Li Zihe leaned against Shen Mo's chest, his voice sounded muffled, his chest trembled slightly, he forced a smile, squinted at the white snow light in the dark night outside the window, even if he lied to her, it didn't matter , if there is no such hope, how can I go back to Yundu.

Seeing why Li Zi was silent, Shen Mo touched her forehead with his hand again, and said slightly dissatisfied: "You have been tired for the past few days, and you have been thinking too much recently. This minor illness is a warning. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it." Whatever."

Li Zihe didn't seem to hear Shen Mo's words, he stared out of the window in a daze, his voice was a bit chilly, and asked: "The Imperial Forest Army of the Leng Palace withdrew a few days ago, no one should pay attention these days, how about we go over tonight?"

Shen Mo's brows were immediately locked together, and he said firmly: "No, you and I have been to Lenggong so many times, even though the Imperial Forest Army is there, we have checked it several times from beginning to end. If there is anything abnormal, it should have been discovered long ago."

"But..." Li Zihe paused, not knowing how to explain to Shen Mo.

Although Yun Jinyan withdrew all the imperial guards on the second day of drunkenness, and the Lenggong returned to its previous dead silence, as if nothing had happened, but after Yao Fei made a fuss that night, she personally apologized and even confessed that she had slapped Su Bai To be honest, she looked like she was being bullied, but Yun Jin said that a relapse of her old illness could be forgiven, and sent her back to Taoyao Palace, without even looking at her again.

When Li Zi checked Concubine Yao's pulse, he saw with his own eyes that she was losing weight day by day, depressed, anxious and irritable, her pulse condition was extremely disturbed, and even though she prescribed medicine, she didn't get any better.

The cause and effect were connected together, and she suddenly thought that if Yun Jinyan really punished Concubine Yao, she would swear at the emperor and slap the concubine, these crimes could not be escaped.

In this way, Li Zihe has every reason to suspect that Concubine Yao suddenly tearing her face at Yun Jin, and even slapping Su Bai that day, has only one purpose, to be in the cold!

"Wait to see him after he recovers in two days, okay?" Shen Mo comforted Li Zi when he saw why he was silent.

Li Zihe's eyes flickered, and he lowered his eyes, as if he was in deep thought, before he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Shen Mo, tell me..."

He stopped in the middle of the conversation, took a deep breath and said, "You said, is it possible for an eight-month-old fetus to survive?"

Shen Mo was startled, frowned and said: "If it is premature, it will be no different from other fetuses except for its frailty."

"I mean..." Li Zihe closed his eyes, turned his face into Shen Mo's arms, suppressed his choked sobs and said, "I mean... what about the child..."

"You want to ask, there was a fetus in the womb of the postseason?" Shen Mo understood Li Zihe's intentions after a little guesswork. She looked so preoccupied these past few days, but she didn't expect such thoughts to exist, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to ask her, it's impossible for that child to still be around."

"Why?" Li Zihe shuddered, sat up straight, and turned his head to meet Shen Mo's eyes. The child is eight months old and has already taken shape. Drinking the bowl of abortion medicine will have an effect, let alone An hour or two, maybe... maybe the pain before death... the child couldn't bear it, and was born prematurely...

Seeing Li Zihe's red eyes, Shen Mo's heart twitched, he shouldn't have spoken so decisively, after all...maybe the last relative in the world...

Only Xixi hugged Li Zihe, and explained softly: "Maybe you didn't know it. Back then, you rushed to the execution ground and watched your family members execute the execution. You fainted on the spot, and the amniotic fluid in your lower body has broken. If she is still conscious, give me another breath. Maybe the child will be born, but... a pregnant woman should avoid going into a coma when giving birth, do you understand that?"

Li Zihe opened his eyes, and clearly heard a "bang" in his ears. The hope that he had been thinking about for a few days was shattered. Shen Mo was right. Her last consciousness was the biting coldness on the execution ground. That child, without her How did your hard work come into this world?
"You rest here tonight, and I'll go to your side." Shen Mo said while helping Li Zihe to lie down, "I'll talk about the matter of the cold palace after you recover from illness."

"No need." Li Zihe closed his eyes, turned around, turned his back to Shen Mo, and opened his eyes again, only to see a mist: "Can you get the blue-faced grass?"

"Yes. Within half a month." Shen Mo replied affirmatively, and then said in confusion: "But the poison of blue-faced grass..."

"I understand." Li Zihe's voice was cold, and he continued: "There is still some spirit to dissipate." Knowing that Shen Mo would be puzzled, he continued to explain: "After the night when Yun Jinyan was drunk, I discovered that people can only be unconscious when they are unconscious. Only then will you speak the truth.”

Even if there is no child in the cold palace, she doesn't believe that Concubine Yao doesn't have any secrets. As for the poison of the blue-faced grass, it is Yun Jinyan's own fault!

Shen Mo was about to turn around and leave, but upon hearing Li Zihe's tone, he turned back again, broke her body, brushed the corners of his sleeves against her cheeks, and it was really wet. He stroked her long hair and said, "Don't worry about bad things, Gu Weiquan has just fallen. , Tomorrow Yun will call back to the palace, I will take advantage of the uncertainty of the army to take the opportunity to stir up chaos, Zheng Ying will not move for the time being, the front court will look peaceful on the surface, you should take a good rest for a while."

"No," Li Zihe turned over, with all the sadness on his face, and met Shen Mo's eyes, "You don't disturb the front, I'll disturb the harem!"

The snow stopped at sunrise, the weather didn't get warmer, instead it became drier and colder, the snow on the main road in the palace had been cleared, and the palace ladies and eunuchs were busy back and forth in an endless stream.General Yun Huan, who was just appointed today, returned to Yundu from the northeast to take up his post. Yun Huan was the late emperor's younger brother and had not returned to the palace for nearly seven years. When he came back this time, Yun Jinyan specially ordered a banquet for him.

In Qinzheng Hall, the bright yellow satin on the low couch looks warm and comfortable. There is a small square table with a chess board on it. The table is full of black and white chess pieces, fighting in silence.

"Haha, I haven't seen you in a few years, the emperor has improved a lot." Yun Huan's complexion was dark, with a small beard growing on his chin, and a few traces of age carved in the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't hide the dark look in his eyes. A calm and heroic soldier.

Yun Jinyan picked up Baizi with a light smile, and said, "Why must the emperor be so polite? My nephew said that he will pick you up in the shortest possible time."

"Haha, this time is indeed earlier than I estimated." Yun Huan nodded in satisfaction, and then put away Heizi, glanced at Yun Jinyan, and joked: "But the time is too early, it is inevitable that there is a lack of security. 50 troops..."

"Uncle Huang will have a solution?" Yun Jinyan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Yun Huan nodded: "As long as there is no chaos, it is of course easy to deal with these 50 people." After finishing speaking, Yun Huan looked at Yun Jinyan inexplicably, and smiled again: "Give Gu Weiquan's troops to me, Are you not afraid?"

Yun Jinyan paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "If the emperor likes these things, he would not go to the Northeast. He has been there for more than ten years. The last time we met was when I was married..."

Yun Jin stopped talking abruptly, and his smile was a little stiff, knowing that he couldn't hide his thoughts, he stopped smiling and silently picked up the chess pieces.

"There are two recent anecdotes in the palace. Come on, how about your newly-established Concubine Bai?"

Yun Jinyan's face became more serious, with a wry smile: "Since the emperor has heard about it, why do you still ask me?"

"If you want to make a concubine directly from a beautiful girl, if you want to use this to show the courtiers that you are full-fledged, I have no objection. But..." Yun Huan glanced at Yun Jinyan, the blackness in his eyes dimmed, resentful Said: "The beautiful woman has gone, if you find a substitute, borrowing others to think about others, this idea..."

"Nephew was confused for a while." Yun Jinyan admitted frankly, his expression was a little gloomy, and he said with a light smile, "It's just the power of alcohol."

Yun Jinyan didn't say anything more, but Yun Huan didn't slow down his questioning, and said with a smile: "The second one is from your imperial hospital, haha, I heard that there is a famous imperial doctor recently, and I am very favored by you. I have never seen such a good doctor. , but you and Concubine Yao’s peace pulse alone, and you are often summoned by you alone, and besides, in front of civil and military officials, you have no qualms about letting him touch Concubine Yao’s pulse directly... Tsk tsk, you said you meant it Indulge, or have other intentions?"

"Wait!" Yun Jinyan was about to speak, but Yun Huan stopped him with one hand and said, "There is one more word, this is the key! I heard that the imperial doctor is fair and white, male and female? Don't tell me what you like changed?"

Yun Huan stopped, and Yun Jinyan had a chance to speak, and said helplessly, "Uncle Huang, I think you've been bored for so many years..."

"Don't talk about anything else, answer the question first!" Yun Huan hurriedly interrupted Yun Jinyan.

Yun Jinyan smiled lightly: "I just think he's funny."

"How interesting?" Saying this, Yun Huan became even more interested.

Yun Jinyan shook his head, and said slowly: "I'll talk to the emperor in detail later. Don't the emperor think we should talk about something serious today?"

"What else is there to say? If you kick Zheng Ying's trash down, the court will fall down immediately, and the power will be in your hands. What? Don't you want to tell me that the blood hasn't been replaced yet?"

"Uncle Huang, don't worry, Zheng Ying won't move for now." Yun Jinyan lowered his eyelids and said in a deep voice, "After half a month, King Pingxi will enter the palace. Uncle Huang, do you still remember that he also has a nephew?"

"Of course I remember, the emperor's brother treated him..." In the middle of speaking, he glanced at Yun Jinyan, choked up, and changed the subject: "What's wrong with him?"

"He may be in the palace now."

"You just found out. I heard that he left home ten years ago, and there has been no news since then. Now he is not considered a prince, so you don't need to worry about him." Yun Huan replied without hesitation. Xie Qianlian, the prince is equivalent to voluntarily giving up his rights, no different from ordinary people.

Yun Jinyan sneered: "That's so boring."

"What do you think?" A large part of the reason why Yun Huan stayed away from the palace and went to the northeast frontier was because he was tired of the intrigue in the palace, but he was still curious about Yun Jinyan's thoughts.

Yun Jinyan's smile was still on, and he was about to speak when Eunuch Wei's voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the slave has something to report."

"Come in."

"Your Majesty," Eunuch Wei said with quick steps, a slightly flustered look, and a fairly steady tone of voice, "Someone has come to report that the Libai Palace is in chaos!"
