Qingchuan History

Chapter 936
Ruan Xueyin thought about it for a moment, and felt that it was necessary to explain the seriousness of the disease in order to ensure that he took the medicine well until he recovered.

Then he started from his back injury in Luofu Mountain, to his quiet game with the Shangguan concubine, and the final settlement in Jizhao Pavilion—except that he didn’t say that the scent would kill him—to this day, he is indeed dead. Yu, only needs to bear the pain for a few more years, and if there are no other problems, all the symptoms will be relieved in the future.

"I'm still sick, and you plan to leave me alone?" Gu Xinglang tried his best to maintain his tone, but no matter what, he seemed aggrieved.

"I've made all the arrangements." Ruan Xueyin clearly reasoned, because he was inexplicably wrong in questioning, and lacked confidence in answering.

"What if those prescriptions are not as effective as you think?"

"There is the Imperial Medical Bureau. Your symptoms Zhang Xuan led a group of Xinglin masters, who are studying them every day. They are all national experts. One year, three years, five years, there will be no way out."

"But I feel cold right now."

"Aren't you hugging?" Ruan Xueyin felt that she couldn't get any tighter, so she moved her arms and exerted force.

"It's still cold." Gu Xinglang was extremely stubborn.

"Then," Ruan Xueyin said helplessly, "cover the quilt?"

Gu Xinglang pulled the brocade quilt over and hugged her and crawled inside.

"Don't make trouble."

"I am cold."

"Cover it when it's cold! Hey, don't—"

"I think."

"No."

"Why?"

Ruan Xueyin was about to tell a useless lie for a long time, but remembering that he was good at counting her days, she couldn't be fooled at all, so she could only solemnly say: "There is no big deal. Now that there is a new consensus, there are many things that I have to tell you."

Gu Xinglang had no choice but to stop his troublesome hands.

Ruan Xueyin then went out of the palace privately that day, and went to the prison with Chai Zhan to meet the convicted officials one by one. They talked in detail and the agreement reached, and also talked about the last farewell with the girls in the prime minister's mansion.

"Have you punished the remaining officials?"

"It was supposed to be three days ago. It was postponed because of your accident in Mingluan Temple."

"Then according to the agreement, they will shout long live along the road on the day of execution. Although Li Chen has contacts with the officials who have been executed, he doesn't know the conspiracy itself in detail, and he has no rebellious heart. Please forgive me, and the rest of his life will be slavery. , and will swear allegiance to the emperor and Daqi to the death."

Gu Xinglang listened silently. "Then?"

"Then the emperor gave grace, and according to their words, they were demoted as slaves. Starting from this, and then correcting the relevant people, especially the common people, only beheading the real mob and the rioters, and the rest will be dealt with lightly—a cruel method To this day, the heinous ones have been wiped out, and the remaining ones are indeed not worthy of death, you know very well in your heart. The momentum you want, plus my trip to Mingluan Palace to accept the crime, is definitely enough."

"So in your plan, Mingluan Hall's conviction is the watershed for this punishment."

"Yes." The two were already entangled, and Ruan Xueyin slid her palms to interlock his fingers, "It would be too much if you don't stop it a little bit; if you reduce the momentum for nothing, it will be insufficient; with me as the tail, it is the most perfect."

Gu Xinglang laughed lightly, but it was self-deprecating and moaning, "Wife is separated, where does beauty come from?"

"You are the king. The perfection of a king is the peace of the world. Even for the safety and blessing of the court, don't do too many murders."

Gu Xinglang was silent for a moment, and it was accepted, then moved forward an inch, and touched her forehead, "I live near Jidu, so I can see you from time to time. Now that I have used this method to make things better, there is room. I will use these leeway to bring you back as soon as possible."

Ruan Xueyin knew in her heart that reasoning would not work, so she had to use tricks, raised her chin slightly and kissed his lips. Before the solution, if it is discovered, all previous efforts will be wasted."

Gu Xinglang's breath was heavy, but he still couldn't agree, "I'm uneasy if you go too far. How the situation will change and how I can take actions to get twice the result with half the effort are all unknown. I can't keep seeing you."

The scent of ancient orchids lingered in the dim room, Ruan Xueyin was distracted for a moment, and said:
"It's better to look at things in the long run. You should live every day well, take care of your body, and practice your ideals. You can achieve what you want, and your life will be bright and perfect."

It's very similar to Qingyan Pavilion before the Tianlong Festival, when she congratulated him on his birthday, every sentence was beautiful, but there was no her in every sentence.

Gu Xinglang was alert for a moment, Ruan Xueyin consciously slipped her words, "It won't be long."

The hasty remedy still made him suspicious, "Xiaoxue."

She pecked the corner of his lips again, "Huh?"

"Are you lying to me again?"

"It's already like this, what else can I lie to you." Ruan Xueyin smiled mischievously, "I really want to lie—" She concentrated, and suddenly felt that there was a knot in her heart that needed to be solved, otherwise she was afraid that there would be no chance again.
"The teacher lied to me and you. Jing Tingge and I were trained exactly according to your and Murong's preferences. You always say that I played a trick on you, but it's not true."

Gu Xinglang didn't quite understand. "what for?"

"It can be someone else. The reason why it is me is because I am a descendant of the medicine garden, and I was sent to Pengxi Mountain as a pawn."

——carved into the shape he likes.If another girl had been carved like this, she would also become cinnabar in his heart.Gu Xinglang understood.In fact, it was in the same line as what Cheng Zedian said in the evening, it was hinting and persuading him, not because of her.

But with a joking attitude to cover up the motive.

"Your wisdom, knowledge and knowledge only taught you to read the world and others, but didn't teach you to read yourself." Gu Xinglang's eyes were like deep water,
"Of course, the teacher has taught you a lot. Your views on the world, the strategies and all the skills you use when competing for the throne, and perhaps some habits and ways of dealing with the world have also been guided-but your appearance, voice, and innate Can the teacher determine my temperament? She pouts when she is concentrating, rests her cheeks when thinking, can only fall asleep when lying on her side, and likes to rest her cheeks with her palm. This is also taught by the teacher? She can judge me when I met you at the age of 20, and I will What to say, what do you want to hear, and based on this, let you prepare the answer in advance to ensure that everything is in line with my preferences?"

He snorted slightly, feeling that the whole set of rhetoric was too ridiculous,

"If it was Ruan Moxi who went up the mountain, I don't believe that she would be similar to you in every way. Even if she is similar, she will not be exactly the same. Everything that can be carved is the appearance; but what makes people fall in love for a long time must be the appearance and the inside. The sum of everything about you is you, and even a single discrepancy won't make it into my heart. That's why Gu Xinglang will only love Ruan Xueyin."

Maybe parting is imminent, and he said it too carefully and solemnly.

It was so solemn that her already woven determination was almost torn apart, she just completely wrapped her arms around him and hugged him vigorously.

Gu Xinglang has never been hugged by her before, and he finally understands how it feels for her to be trapped by him every time he can't breathe. The outskirts of Jidu."

Ruan Xueyin had thousands of words in her heart, every word was on the verge of falling out of her mouth.

But I am afraid that I will lose my words if I say too much, and if I say it, I will reveal my truth.

I love you, Gu Xinglang.

She said in her heart, tears bursting out of the embankment.

Without Gu Xinglang, Ruan Xueyin would not be what she is today. She knows how to feel warm and cold, understands joys and sorrows, and has a taste for everything.

Thank you.

thank you.

She really felt that she was going to suffocate, and her mind was chaotic, thinking that he would just throw her into prison on Tianlong Festival, so as to save such a farewell, such an irresistible farewell.

"Hello." Gu Xinglang didn't notice that she was crying violently, because she hugged him with all her strength, and kept her body extremely stable—but it was too motionless, very weird, so he wanted to see her face.

Ruan Xueyin refused to let her go, she tried harder and buried herself deeply in his robe, and it took a long time before she let go.

How could she hide it, a large piece of clothing was soaked, and even though the tears had been absorbed by the brocade, she was still in tears, her palm-sized face was almost swollen.

Gu Xinglang was really flustered. He couldn't figure out the situation and didn't dare to ask questions. He secretly blamed himself for thinking something wrong. He wanted to see her cry. In just a few days, he had seen her cry three times. serious.

"What's the matter, I'm so sad." He stroked her cheek helplessly, wiping away the remaining tears.

Ruan Xueyin's crying subsided, knowing that she had made a mistake, she calmed down, annoyed and angrily said: "I haven't seen my daughter for a while, it's all your fault."

Gu Xinglang let go of the suspicion he raised earlier, and couldn't laugh or cry: "I know it's not for me. So I told you not to go too far, just be more cautious at ordinary times, with my arrangement, don't worry?"

Ruan Xueyin shook her head, "Shenquan Town."

So cute and pitiful, he was really reluctant to continue competing with her, thinking that it would be okay to agree first and adjust later, "Okay. Listen to you."

Ruan Xueyin felt even more sad because of this down-to-earth sentence, she was stunned and didn't say a word.

Gu Xinglang was still suspicious, adding to his heartache, he racked his brains to find something to say: "This is the first time I enter the Orchid Palace, did you smoke incense?"

Ruan Xueyin came back to her senses, "No. It's her."

Gu Xinglang found it incredible, and felt that she had said that, so she couldn't be wrong. "It has been more than fifty years since Taizu passed away. As far as I know, Mrs. Ming passed away earlier than Taizu."

What kind of incense can last for five or sixty years?
"This palace, no one has ever cleaned it."

Gu Xinglang looked affirmatively.

"So it's impossible for someone else to add it. How do you think this fragrance is different from the ones you smell in the past?"

Gu Xinglang discerned carefully. "Well, the stale smell is very strong, but it doesn't smell bad, and it doesn't have a rotten smell. And, it doesn't look like it's smoked?"

"She must have made a lot of incense powder, condensed it with auxiliary materials, divided it into several parts, and placed them in the corners of the hall." The booklet written in water is also full of this smell, so Ruan Xueyin is even more convinced that the fragrance is Duan Mingcheng Made by,
"It was made every year, and the new was replaced with the old. The orchid fragrance became thicker and thicker, and penetrated into every piece of log between the tables, chairs and cabinets. As of today, the incense block is a wreck, but the smell comes from every utensil in the hall. If it spreads out, I am afraid it will be difficult to disperse in a hundred years."

"I never thought that she is also a master incense maker."

"Baiguo is like spring all the year round, and the city is full of rhyming water and flowers. There is a reason to follow. I am confined here, endless days and nights, and I always have to find something to do."

Such as making incense, or writing.

Gu Xinglang remembered what he saw when he passed the courtyard earlier, "There are only orchids in this palace, so we can only make orchid incense."——Having been with Ruan Xueyin for a long time, he pays more attention to flowers and plants than before. Orchids are very good recognize.

Ruan Xueyin nodded. "Last autumn, you said that she was imprisoned here for ten years."

"That's how I heard it." Gu Xinglang's eyes dimmed, "There is no record of the top-secret matter, and what the predecessors said has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is very likely that it has changed."

You should be able to get a glimpse of the truth from the notes left by Duan Mingcheng.Ruan Xueyin thought to herself.She just started reading that booklet, because she just found it yesterday; it’s also the booklet, she didn’t learn it very well, and she hasn’t used it for a long time, and after giving birth, she always feels that her memory is not as good as before. After reading, I just reached the fifth and sixth sentences.

Gu Xinglang saw that she was dazed again, and scratched her nose, "Stop asking questions?"

Ruan Xueyin's mood faded, "Didn't I say that last autumn."

He told her that Mrs. Ming was so favored by her dreams that she finally went crazy and was imprisoned in the Orchid Palace for ten years until her death.

According to Ruan Xueyin's usual style, she will delve into whether she is really crazy or not, why she is crazy, and what kind of love-hate relationship she has with Taizu. "Thought you wanted to know more."

I want to know, but there is no need to ask him.Duan Mingcheng can also make incense, and even write, which shows that he is not crazy, at least when he is sober - that booklet is clearly the account of her ten years in the cold palace, the last ten years of Rong Chong's life, no one can write better than herself. clear.

She just had to read it word for word.

"I don't want to know anymore." But Gu Xinglang had to be dealt with, Ruan Xueyin said softly, "There are already too many imperfections in this world, let's save it for the future, tell me about it in a few years."

Because of these words, Gu Xinglang felt that he had been suspicious before, and he let out a sigh of relief, "Tomorrow, I will draw up an imperial edict and arrange a lot of things. I have to rest. I'll go wash up."

"You want to stay overnight?"

"if not?"

"inappropriate."

"You always say something wrong to me recently. It's not right, what's wrong?"

"I am a body of guilt, and I have been detained in the cold palace. You came to visit me—"

"It's already here, it's already inappropriate, just sleep here, and leave quietly tomorrow morning, wouldn't it be even more inappropriate to go out now?"

Ruan Xueyin was silenced by him.

"I'll come tomorrow night too. When you leave the palace, it will be difficult to sleep together."

Ruan Xueyin struggled to pull out a smile, "I can't see with my eyes closed, and it's the same when I sleep by myself."

"It's different. When you're not here, I don't have a good night's sleep. It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal, understand?"

The next day, Gu Xinglang ordered the execution of the remaining criminals in the prison according to Ruan Xueyin's words.

Everything went according to her plan, the ministers wailed and the people pleaded, so he pushed the boat along and eased the punishment. On the next day, on July 22, the tenth year of Jinghong, he issued two emperor's edicts, one concerning the subjects and the other concerning the palace. .

Although the queen has no real conspiracy, she has a lot to do with the case of Gong Tianxia.The rewards and punishments of the whole country are judged according to the severity of merit and demerit, and everyone involved is responsible, and the middle palace is no exception.Thinking that over the past few years, he has repeatedly defended the country, expanded the territory, and practiced good governance for Daqi, and has won the hearts of the people. This time, the whole country, women and children, have to plead for mercy-deducting merits and demerits.

However, as the mother of a country, Zhonggong should be more virtuous than the common people, and be strict with oneself as an example.Now that the empress took the initiative to plead guilty, I am relieved, but still have to be adjudicated by the law of the country—to order her to serve in the western region as a commoner, and she cannot be returned without an edict.

　A very unpromising thing happened. When I wrote Xiaoxue burst into tears, I actually cried, my mother.
