Queen Sun

Chapter 48
The raindrops in the winter night became more and more dense, and the wind from nowhere blew the rain towards Ruoshui's hair, cheeks, neck and back of hands, but she was like a statue, neither dodging nor dodging.At this time, she is not the queen, not the eldest grandson, but just Ruoshui who will live for 20 years in the future, without a surname, without parents, or even with a complete soul, but so what?It has nothing to do with the love between a man and a woman, and the love between men and women. It is the man inside who is wandering between life and death who gave herself a place that she might call home. Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled, so if you are gone, why should I return it? How about sticking to it?
I don't know how long I stood there, suddenly——

"Miss." Guangyue's respectful voice was full of joy that could not be missed, "Your Majesty is awake and wants to see Miss."

"Okay." It seemed that the rage and powerlessness just now were just a mirage-like illusion, Ruoshui turned around calmly, walked into the inner room with a faint smile.

The huge bedroom was filled with the strong smell of medicine, Ruoshui quietly walked to the side of the couch, before he could sit down, Li Shimin's hand was tightly held by Li Shimin, his strength was not like that of a patient who just woke up from a coma.

She frowned in pain, but she still held back her head slightly and asked, "Is Your Majesty's condition a little better?"

Shangguanping's expression was weird, and he hesitated to say something. Ruoshui was about to interrupt him impatiently, but he heard Li Shimin's voice hoarse: "Shangguanping, you go down first."

Ruoshui then turned to her husband: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

On the contrary, Li Shimin stared blankly at Ruoshui's face, not letting go of a single bit, until he was sure that her usually calm eyes were full of worry and worry, then he let go of her wrist, which was already surrounded by a clear red circle.

"Go and call Chengqian, Wuji, Li Jing and Xuanling." Li Shimin suddenly said calmly.

Ruoshui was stunned, this... "Second brother, what did the imperial doctor say?"

Li Shimin's expression was gloomy: "Ruoshui, if I'm not here, Chengqian is still too immature, you must take care of the Tang Dynasty for him and me."

Ruoshui stared at his bloodless face, could this be the so-called... Impossible, how is this possible?The eighth year of Zhenguan was just the beginning of Tang Taizong's creation of a prosperous age. She stretched out her hand and shook those big cold hands, looking directly into his gloomy eyes: "Second brother, I will only say this once today." She took out a small kit from her sleeve, "If you die, I will never live alone. The poison in the kit has been with you since the night you fell ill, so I won't live alone." , I will never guard this world for you, or for our son, that is no longer my responsibility."

Li Shimin looked at Ruoshui at this moment, she spoke calmly and resolutely enough to change the color of the world, but the tenderness in it passed through the thick rocks, and even surpassed life and death. In fact, he should have understood these things a long time ago. It's just that what I can't believe now is, has my wife ever made the same vow to another person?Although, that person will never come back.

"Ruoshui, I won't abandon you, go and call Shangguanping, I will be fine." Li Shimin finally showed a smile, as long as he is still alive, there is an infinite possibility to make Ruoshui forget the one who is lying on them. Shadows of the past.

Ruoshui stood up suspiciously. Could it be that his own words had played a role? It seemed that his spirit suddenly recovered. When Shangguan Ping came out again, she finally heard the answer she wanted: "Please rest assured, Madam, His Majesty's pulse has stabilized, and as long as he takes good care of him, he will surely recover."

Ruoshui's feet suddenly softened, but luckily she didn't fall down by holding on to the soft couch beside her, she breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Then what happened when His Majesty called me in just now?"

Shangguan Ping paused slightly: "At that time, His Majesty's pulse condition was very strange. It seemed dangerous, but there was a hidden turning point. I didn't dare to prescribe strong medicine without authorization, so I informed His Majesty. His Majesty only said that he wanted to talk to Your Majesty before proceeding." decided, so..."

Ruoshui's back could not help but feel a chill, what was the reason for what he said just now?Probe or Doubt?
"Your Majesty?" Shangguan Ping looked at the queen's sudden change of expression suspiciously.

Ruoshui stabilized his mind, and continued to ask: "A few hours ago, why did Your Majesty suddenly become unconscious?"

"Excuse me, I speculate that it may be caused by His Majesty's sudden fury." Shangguan Ping replied very cautiously, because he knew that this matter probably related to some concubines in the harem.

Ruoshui nodded: "It's been so hard for you for so many days. When His Majesty's condition stabilizes, I will definitely reward you well."

Shangguanping hesitated for a while, and said respectfully: "I think that the empress must also take a good rest for a while. The two births in the second year of Zhenguan and last year have caused a lot of damage to the empress's body. In this cold winter, please take care of yourself." Phoenix body." After speaking, he backed away softly.

After another whole night without sleep, Ruoshui knew that his body was exhausted and he relied on his spirit to support him, but right now there was one thing he had to ask, and his thoughts went back to just now, extremely angry?She turned back to the man's couch again, but her mind was very different: "Second brother, what did Yang Rui and the others say to you to make you so angry?"

Li Shimin looked at Ruoshui, and said in a weak tone, "You haven't closed your eyes for several nights, so go to sleep for a while."

Ruoshui was stubbornly refusing to give up, and sure enough, he heard Li Shimin's sigh: "They told me that maybe what I have is not a disease, but a curse, and they want me to thoroughly investigate the harem."

"It's ridiculous." Ruoshui's heart relaxed slightly, "Thinking about it this way, it's not too much to order them to reflect in their own palace." After finishing speaking, she lay down on the other side of the bed. On one side, said tiredly, "Second brother, I'm really tired."

Li Shimin just wanted to stop him. After all, he was still sick, but his outstretched hand just stopped in the air. He looked deeply at his wife sleeping with her eyes closed. Since life and death are meaningless, she must not leave. yes.

Outside, the rain had stopped, but the thick curtains in the inner room almost blocked all the light, making it as dark as night.In this illusory night, Li Shimin dreamed of the past that he had deeply forgotten. It was the year Yao'er was born, and the day when Concubine Yan entered the door. He saw his concubine and his younger brother hugging tightly. At the same time, he got himself drunk and almost raped his wife with a feeling of venting hatred.Since then, although they have not become strangers, they all choose to forget.

At that time, Ruoshui slept for a whole day and night. On that day, Li Shimin was with her. Apart from taking medicine and meals, the court officials, concubines in the harem, and even any of their children were not seen. On that day, he thought a lot, For a long time, regarding their past and present, they dare not think about the future alone.He is lenient to his courtiers, even his enemies in the past; he is lenient to his concubines, even if the other party used to be someone else's wife; he is lenient to the people, even many people who are still foreigners, but why can't he let go of Ruoshui's past?Maybe that painting is just Yuanji's unrequited love, maybe that hug is just a simple comfort, the fingertips are slowly moving on Ruoshui's tired face, she married herself when she was thirteen years old , she gave birth to six children for herself, and she... also loves herself, that's enough.

In the haze, there is always a line of sight staring at him, Ruoshui reluctantly opens his eyes, but the sight is still dim, maybe there is a faint warm candlelight in the corner.She turned her face sideways, looking at Li Shimin's peaceful sleeping face with a trace of joy and complexity in her eyes. She has lost a lot of weight, but her edges and corners have become more distinct. She stood up carefully, trying not to make a sound, and then carefully closed him up. After closing the quilt, he lifted the curtain and walked out.

"Miss, you are finally awake." Mingxia stayed outside and said happily, "Let me help you wash up first."

Ruoshui smiled slightly: "How long have I been asleep? I didn't notice it at all. Mo Zi and Si Zi must have been arguing."

While bringing hot water, Mingxia said: "Miss has been sleeping for a day, and His Majesty does not allow anyone to disturb her. Fortunately, the princess and the prince have been very good these days, and they have not been arguing for Miss."

"It seems that after they turned one year old, they suddenly became more obedient." Ruoshui said comfortingly, the two children who made him feel most indebted recently were those two children.

Mingxia smiled proudly: "Your Highnesses can see the clues when you grasp the week. The princess grasped the pen and the scroll, and she will be well-educated in the future. The prince only touched one inkstone, so I'm afraid he is also full of knowledge. .”

After washing his face, Ruoshui suddenly felt a lot refreshed: "How can you do that kind of thing accurately? By the way, how about the prince? Weixi should have come back long ago, I haven't had time to see her yet. "

"Yes, Miss Su came back after about an hour. The prince should be fine."

Ruoshui looked at himself in the mirror and said with a wry smile: "There are a lot of things going on now, and I still can't let go of Chengqian's side. Counting the time, it's almost time for him to fulfill his promise to his father this year. I wonder if cavalry and archery tactics have really improved?"

Mingxia and the others also knew about Chengqian, she said with a worried expression: "Miss, must Your Highness go to war?"

Ruoshui was silent for a moment, then sighed: "It's not necessarily, it's necessary. He must really grow up, for the sake of Tang Dynasty, and for himself." At this point, the conversation suddenly changed, "By the way, Yang Rui and I always feel that there is something wrong with Yang Qian, the government has caused some troubles these days, so this harem should not cause any accidents, and those two palaces should pay special attention."

Mingxia listened carefully, nodded her head and said: "Yes, miss. There is one more thing. We sent people to find the whereabouts of Dr. Sun, should we call him into the palace now?"

Ruoshui said casually: "That's not necessary, just let people follow Sun Simiao all the time. If something happens in the future, we won't be able to find him."

After explaining some things one after another, Ruoshui finally calmed down and sat alone in front of the case, thinking of nothing, just letting time flow slowly like this, without pain, love or hatred.

At this moment in Yongning Palace, Yang Qian secretly had a sense of fear in her heart. On that day, Yang Rui's sentence "put it to death and live later" dragged herself up to the cliff of Wanren cliff.At that time, she was afraid that His Majesty would never wake up again, but at this moment, what she worried about was that even if the seeds of doubt were buried deep between the emperor and empress, would there really be a day when the ground would be revealed?

But she never regretted it. From the moment she saw that painting, she really hated it. Even if she didn't love Yuan Ji, why did her dead husband love that person?The woman who took away her love, her children, the most honorable status in the world, and the smoothest life, finally took away the dignity and past she once thought she had.

The Buddha said that if you want to know the cause of the past life, you must be the recipient in this life; if you want to know the result of the future life, you must be the author of this life.If that is true, she is willing to use the endless suffering of future generations in exchange for the sins of this life, even if Yang Rui deliberately uses it, even if she will eventually get death without a place to bury her, it doesn't matter, because in this world , she already had nothing.
