Chapter 209 The ice and snow melt and the harsh winter ends
The weather has been exceptionally sunny for several days.
The snow on the sunny side has turned into water, the wind has also subsided, and another severe winter has passed.
Chi Su came in holding the dried quilt, and now she and Xue Hengzhao were living in the same room again.
"What's happened to you these past two days? Are you not feeling well?" Chi Su put down the quilt, rubbed her hands and touched Xue Hengzhao's forehead.
"It's nothing serious. Just get more sleep and you'll be fine." Xue Hengzhao said, "After the beginning of spring, it's easy to cause old illnesses. Recently, I've been feeling slight pain in my back, and my hands and feet don't seem to be returning blood."
"Ask an imperial doctor to take a look at it. Take two doses of medicine and I'll boil it for you." Chi Su said hurriedly, "This person is neither old nor young, so he can't leave a root cause of illness."
"What you're saying is that I was born weak and the root of the disease was brought about during abortion." Xue Hengzhao glanced sideways at her, "It's God's blessing that I can grow so big."
"Then you should worry less and do less hard work on weekdays." Chi Su said, "It's better for stupid people like us. We can eat, sleep and get sick less often."
"It's useless. The temperament a person is born with is his fate." Xue Hengzhao smiled, "A deep love will lead to a short life, and a very wise person will be hurt.
What's more, if I try to exhaust all my agencies, it will be the most depleting of my moral character."
"Bah, bah, bah! You're not allowed to talk about yourself like that." Chi Su was so angry that he wanted to hit her, "You should say it's a disaster that will last for thousands of years."
"Do you also think I'm a disaster?" Xue Hengzhao smiled, "I'm not allowed to scold myself, but you scolded me even more harshly."
"I scold you, but I really do it for your own good," Chi Su said. "Besides, I also really admire you. There is no need to talk about those things in the past, just talk about what is in front of you.
Concubine Li was so favored that she was suddenly demoted to the rank of noble, and even the emperor no longer protected her.
I heard that she will completely move out of Tamamo Palace today and live in Caiwei Pavilion.
The emperor and the queen even rewarded our queen with so many things that my eyes were almost dazzled by them."
"Concubine Li originally wanted to use the queen's power to punish our empress, but she didn't know that the trap she laid for her also happened to use the queen to punish her.
One of my favorite tricks is to invite you into the urn. Firstly, she didn’t expect that we would take the initiative to attack her, and secondly, she didn’t expect that Danyue had already been discovered by us.”
"Speaking of this Danyue, it's true. Concubine Fu is such a good-natured person. If you can do things by her side, what else can you be dissatisfied about?
To do such a thing that eats everything inside and outside is a bit embarrassing.
I heard that she has been in a coma since being imprisoned, and her life may not be saved." Chi Su and Dan Yue had not known each other for long, but they were also sad about her fate.
Xue Hengzhao said calmly: "Dan Yue has a high heart and has never been willing to settle down. She feels that our empress is too regular, and she will not be able to survive after all."
"Sometimes I really don't know what either of them is thinking," Chi Su shook his head, "They are not very capable, but their ambition is not small. Such people will not end well, except for being used as swordsmen.
It’s a stepping stone.”
"This quilt is so soft from the sun," Xue Hengzhao spread out on the newly dried quilt and buried his face in it, "I want to sleep."
Chi Su stepped forward and pulled her up and said, "Don't sleep all the time. You sleep a lot during the day and don't want to sleep at night. You must know that the night is the most nourishing for the liver and blood. Your body and bones are so weak. How can you turn black and white upside down?"
?"
"Your Majesty has granted me leave, and I have nothing to do during the day." Xue Hengzhao couldn't afford it.
"Why do you have nothing to do? Talk to me." Chi Su forced her to pull her, "Have you heard? Nowadays, there are troubles with maids and eunuchs in every palace.
One or two people died in the palace, some said they committed suicide, and a few others said they died of illness, and the rest were kicked out.
In fact, aren’t they all looking for the spy installed by Li Fei? Some are, some are not. Anyway, many people have suffered.”
As Chi Su spoke, he saw that Xue Hengzhao's eyes had closed, and he quickly said solemnly: "Actually, Concubine Li, no, she should be called Lady Li. She should come to beg me."
"What do you want me to do?" Although Xue Hengzhao did not open his eyes, he still asked with a smile.
"Please ask me to tell her a fortune, I guarantee it will be effective." Chi Su looked arrogant and confident.
"When did you know how to tell fortunes again?" Xue Hengzhao asked lazily, "Don't just pretend to be a god, do you really think you have this ability?"
"That's not the case. I know how much I weigh. But, I'm really sure about this." Chi Su said.
"Tell me what your hexagram is?" Xue Hengzhao asked.
"Concubine Li will definitely die in your hands," Chi Su said and quickly changed her words, "She is Concubine Li."
"How can you see it?" Xue Hengzhao turned over and hugged the quilt, talking lingeringly.
"Think about it, there are three dormitories in the north, Jiwuyuan, Caiwei Pavilion and Qingyufang.
At first, He Guiren lived in Qingyunfang, and Zhou Hong and Liu Quan wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
You asked me to take the note and give it to Eunuch Zhang in Yangze Palace, thus killing Mr. He.
Didn't you also find out that Yu Cairen of Caiwei Pavilion was pregnant after having an affair with someone else, so he was sentenced to death?
As for Miwuyuan, that’s because no one has lived in it since Liu Guiren committed suicide.
But didn’t you also kill Qian Sanchun, Deng Bao and the others there?
Now that Li Guiren has moved to Caiwei Pavilion, it is like cattle and sheep entering the slaughterhouse. Where is the life left?"
Chi Su was very proud when he said this. He pushed Xue Hengzhao and said, "Do you think my analysis is reasonable? Is that what happened?"
But Xue Hengzhao didn't answer. Chi Su looked down and saw that the guy had fallen asleep with his face buried in the quilt.
Chi Su had no choice but to let her sleep.
The next day, Lan Ning entered the palace and specially called Xue Hengzhao and Chi Su over.
"I have heard about Lady Li, I think she will be at peace for a while.
Thanks to the two of you for your efforts in this matter. Logically speaking, we should reward you based on your merits, but we can’t do it too obviously.
There are many people in the palace, and even if the mother-in-law loves you, she can’t show you too much.
I brought some bird's nest, snow lotus and other supplements from outside the palace. After you go back, you can boil some in your room and eat them every day.
These are the most peaceful and nourishing things, and they won’t hurt your health if you eat them every day. They are just right for young girls like you.”
Chi Su and Xue Hengzhao both thanked Lan Ning.
Chi Su was very ashamed and said to Lan Ning: "I am really ashamed of myself. All the credit for this matter belongs to Heng Zhao. She just did it as she taught me. It can't really be said that I have any merit."
"Miss Chi San, we have met outside the palace before. I have always liked your straightforward temperament.
You and Hengzhao have been together since you entered the palace, and we are really good friends in times of need. She is weak, so she usually needs more care from you.
Being able to take good care of her is a great achievement."
