Queen Sun

Chapter 67
In front is Liangyi Hall. Ruoshui stopped in his tracks and looked up. He was equally solemn and solemn. That man was discussing the world's major affairs with his ministers there. He was sitting upright there just like in Taiji Hall. A wise lord who has been passed down through the ages, where he handed over to his descendants a great and prosperous dynasty.

Bypassing the Palace of Eryi, after four years, she finally came back here, the place where her fate began and ended. Ruoshui didn't tell anyone, but she actually didn't like the Lizheng Palace.From the pain and abandonment of the second year of Zhenguan to the helplessness and despair of the tenth year of Zhenguan, although there have been laughter, warmth, and even lingering love, sometimes people have to admit that, to a certain extent, Words, the result really determines the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of fate, and determines the tone of life.

Walking up the steps step by step, the strange thing is that the door was not locked. Until a long time later, Ruoshui still didn't understand whether the person who pushed the door open at that moment was her or the eldest grandson, or maybe they, because in the years to come , She has never encountered such a situation again, her mind and body seemed to be separated for a while, ignoring the clamor in her heart to leave quickly, she stretched out her hand, opened the door, there was no rotten smell as imagined, and there was no one there The palace was strangely clean and tidy, as if time had never passed, the furnishings and atmosphere were exactly the same as four years ago.

As if being drawn by some invisible thing in her heart, she continued to slowly walk into the inner hall, came to her own inner room, and pushed open the second door. She scanned every item carefully, and finally stopped on the table with half a cup of tea and a few books on it. It had not been changed at all, and she even felt that someone was deliberately playing here to give an illusion that it had never changed. .My heart couldn't help but burst into an unknown fire. Besides him, who else would have the power to make these appearances, so why deceive yourself?

At this time, Ruoshui had completely lost the sharpness of the past, so when she felt her head was a little dizzy, the incense in the incense cauldron had been burning quietly for a long time.

The door was pushed open again, and a tall figure walked in, half-kneeling beside Ruo Shui slowly, took out a basin of clear water and a silk handkerchief on the side table, and stretched out his hand to gently wipe Ruo Shui's face , I don't know whether it was surprise or shock that flashed in his eyes. Gradually, Ruoshui returned to his original face, which was so pale that it hurts.The man washed his hands and looked at every detail of her face absentmindedly. Four years ago, eight years ago, and even ten years ago, she was still the same, without any change. It was her, so naive. He gave her back to himself.The choked sound of almost ecstasy stuck in his throat, the man gently hugged Ruoshui's soft and fragrant body, walked steadily towards the door, and muttered in his mouth: "Ruoshui, after you wake up, we will be together forever." We will never be separated again."

"Your Majesty, the East Palace has sent people to look for the girl's whereabouts." Zheng Ji followed behind Li Shimin and saw the girl being tightly embraced by the emperor.

Li Shimin's voice trembled slightly: "Go and tell Sun Simiao that the queen has returned to the palace, and he will naturally understand that there are still carriages ready outside? The queen and I will go to Daming Palace now."

Zheng Ji almost thought that his ears were broken, queen, the girl just now is actually the empress, how is this possible!And the reason why His Majesty rushed back from Daming Palace overnight two days ago in secret was because of her?At this moment, Zheng Ji felt as if he was going crazy, and replied with a pale face: "Yes... already waiting outside."

Seeing the emperor's figure gradually drifting away, Zheng Ji stood in the sunlight for a long time, and then managed to hold up his usual smile and walked towards the East Palace.

"Zheng Ji? Why are you here?" Cheng Qian couldn't believe it, "Shouldn't you be in Daming Palace at this time?"

Zheng Ji just said calmly: "His Royal Highness, His Majesty asked Zheng Ji to inquire about your foot injury."

"Prince, please don't move your feet again, otherwise, if the wound is opened again, even if Hua Tuo comes back to life, it will be irreparable." Sun Simiao's heart sank, because Zheng Ji's words and Cheng Qian's shock actions below.

"Master, I have searched all around, but there is still no sign of Senior Sister." Just when everyone was in a stalemate, the little boy walked in nervously.

Chengqian's eyes were fixed on Zheng Ji, but the words he wanted to ask in his heart never came into being.

"Eunuch Zheng, please tell His Majesty on behalf of the grass-roots people that as long as the crown prince's foot injury is taken care of carefully, there will be no trouble." Sun Simiao's voice was calm and quiet, as if he didn't have much reaction to the little boy's words.

Zheng Ji suddenly lowered his eyes: "Don't worry, Dr. Sun, I will definitely report to Your Majesty truthfully." After saying that, he left and walked away with Sun Simiao, his lips moved at the moment, and then he walked out of the East Palace without any pause.

In the inner room, the little boy looked at his master uneasily, and was about to say something, but was blocked by Sun Simiao's glance.

At this moment, Chengqian suddenly let out a muffled sound, and Weixi hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Chengqian, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that her husband was still showing pain, she turned around and said: "Mr. yes……"

Sun Simiao looked at Cheng Qian's expression of enduring the pain, and said quietly: "The effect of the pain-relieving medicine used in the treatment has faded, so Your Highness may have to endure it for a while."

"Can't it be used anymore?" Wei Xi wiped the cold sweat off Cheng Qian's forehead with distress.

Sun Simiao shook his head: "You can't use this medicine too much, otherwise you will become addicted. There is nothing the grassroots can do about this."

Cheng Qianqiang tried to sit up while propping up his lying body, but after a while, he asked unsteadily, "Mr. Sun just told me that your apprentice can't be kept by force, why is it that you don't want to stay here?" Are you not in a hurry?"

"If she wasn't willing, who in the world would be able to force her?" Sun Simiao said in a calm tone that was almost jaw-dropping. Row."

"God?" Cheng Qian frowned tightly, "You mean..."

Sun Simiao organized his belongings in an orderly manner: "His Royal Highness, there are some things, it is better to wait until the day when it will come to fruition before exploring. Everything in the world has its own priority, and the most important thing now is to take care of your foot injury , the rest might as well slow down first."

"Mr. Sun, Chengqian has been taught." The deep eyes of the prince leaning on the couch were a little more firm and quiet.

Yong'an Palace was a summer palace built by Li Shimin for the Supreme Emperor in the eighth year of Zhenguan. Unfortunately, Li Yuan died before the construction was completed, so this summer palace on the Longshouyuan in the north of the city became It became another court meeting place, where the emperor dealt with the affairs of state and recuperated, and naturally almost all the concubines in the harem went there.

At the beginning, Yong'an Palace was built as a separate palace to cool off the summer heat, so it did not have a square layout like Taiji Palace. The three halls of Hanyuan, Xuanzheng and Zichen were used as the front palaces to hold grand ceremonies and discuss politics with monarchs and ministers.At this time, the Zichen Palace was empty, with only a few figures, it seemed a little strangely silent.

"Lord Changsun, what's the matter with His Majesty's imperial body? Why didn't anyone be allowed to see him during the morning court that was suspended for several days?" Yang Shidao, who was the order of Zhongshu, and Liu Ji, the servant of Huangmen, blocked Changsun Wuji and asked in unison.In fact, it's not just them, Fang Xuanling who was present was as eager as Wei Zheng and other important officials. After all, it is almost unimaginable for His Majesty who has always been diligent in government affairs, and the only answer now may be in this country. For Uncle, after all, from the time of Yong'an Palace until now, the atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers has an indescribable weirdness.

Changsun Wuji twitched his brows indistinctly, then let go and said, "My lords, you are embarrassing Wuji. After all, I have no way to see Your Majesty just like everyone else." He couldn't help it in his heart. Secretly complaining, in fact, His Majesty had already returned a day ago.Whether that lady is Ruoshui or not, at least she should have an answer. At the beginning, she proposed to build a plank road in the dark, but now she is leaving him outside the inner palace for no reason. It's crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

"Okay, okay, since Wuji doesn't know, why don't we play the table together again." Fang Xuanling stepped forward to smooth things over.

But obviously someone didn't believe it, and when he was about to speak again, he saw the door curtain was lifted suddenly, and Gao Shilian rushed in with sweat on his face, as if he didn't notice that there were other people in the room, his expression was quite flustered , took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, held it up and said, "Wuji, look, isn't this..."

Changsun Wuji focused slightly, his expression changed drastically, he took the jade pendant, looked at it several times, raised his head and asked, "Uncle, where did this come from?"

Gao Shilian didn't seem to care about the current embarrassment at all, and said in a deep voice: "Early this morning, a man who looked like a doctor brought a child to my house, and only said that the owner of the jade pendant asked me to take care of the child. I was really stunned, and when I came back to my senses, the man had disappeared, leaving only a boy who called himself Xinxin."

"Satisfying..." Changsun Wuji murmured, "That's it. Did the child say that the woman who was with him during this time was named Gao?"

Gao Shilian shook his head and said, "He only said that he called that lady Aunt Shui."

Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment, suppressing the shock in his heart, and said decisively to his uncle: "Uncle, let's go, let's go see His Majesty together."

After the figures of nephew and uncle had disappeared, several ministers couldn't help but look at each other, not to mention Wei Zheng, even Fang Xuanling, who had known the two for a long time, was too surprised to speak. Gao Shilian, who was born in a family and has always been known for his demeanor, would actually lose his composure like this?
After a long silence, Wei Zheng broke the silence: "In any case, since Mr. Gao has come forward, the matter of His Majesty should be settled soon."

When the words fell to the ground, the rest of the people couldn't help showing unspeakable expressions on their faces.

A whole night has passed, Li Shimin quietly stared at Ruoshui lying in front of him, an inexplicable sense of peace and warmth flowed in his heart, he didn't want to think about why her face didn't change, and he didn't want to think about the disappearance of that night With her rebirth in Yangzhou, even no matter who is different from ghosts, Buddhas, gods and demons, he only knows that Ruoshui is still alive, and that is enough.

"Your Majesty, Lord Changsun and Lord Gao are asking to see you." Zheng Ji seemed to have gotten used to the way the emperor stayed by the couch nonstop during this period of time. It's all over.

Li Shimin grabbed Ruoshui's hand and gently pressed it to his face: "Ruoshui, your brother and uncle are here, but I don't plan to let you meet yet, you won't be angry with me, will you?"

After finishing speaking, he stood up slowly, and said after walking outside the door: "You stand guard at the door, I will be back in a while."

Zheng Ji obediently took orders, and waited until the sound of the emperor's footsteps faded away, then he turned slightly and looked inside. He really looked exactly like the queen in the past. Is it true that there are two people who are born so similar in this world? People, is there really a theory of resurrection?Zheng Ji was also a little confused, but since His Majesty has identified the latter, of course others have no room to question it.

"Wuji, uncle, why are you here?" Li Shimin said in a relaxed tone, without any trace of coldness before.

Changsun Wuji tightly squeezed the jade pendant in his hand, twirled the words around his lips, and finally blurted out: "Your Majesty...Ruoshui she..." Halfway through the words, he didn't know how to continue.

"It's her, it's my queen who has returned." Li Shimin told Changsun Wuji the answer he wanted bluntly.

Gao Shilian's eyes turned back and forth between the nephew and the emperor in disbelief: "Your Majesty... Wuji, what are you talking about? Isn't Ruoshui gone already?" There was an uncontrollable tremor in his voice.

Before Changsun Wuji could speak, Li Shimin suddenly smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and he said calmly: "Uncle, I never said that the queen is no longer alive, but only because of her health. Resting elsewhere, but I don’t know where such heinous rumors have spread for so long, now it’s time to treat it well.”

"Then, can your majesty let the minister and the queen meet?" Changsun Wuji gradually recovered his calm and carefulness. Whether it was Ruoshui or not, only he could judge by seeing it with his own eyes.

Li Shimin stared at his wife-in-law's unwavering eyes. In his memory, he seemed to have never had such an experience of confronting Wuji. He waved his hand lightly: "The queen is tired on the way, and she is sleeping now. You can come back another day." Bar."

Gao Shilian stopped his nephew's urge to go forward, lowered his eyes and said softly: "In this case, I will not disturb the queen, but, Your Majesty, even if the queen married into the Li family, she is still the daughter of the eldest grandson's family after all. I am afraid that no one can stop the connection, and please be sympathetic to the worries of ministers and Wuji."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly, and was about to speak with scrutiny, when he heard Runqin's weak voice from behind: "Brother, uncle, why are you here?"
