Mother Ma stood in the corridor, rubbing her hands, and said to Wan Yue: "It may get colder in the second half of the night. Although the room is warm, don't be careless. You can add a quilt at night."
Wan Yue responded.
She was keeping vigil tonight. She had already washed herself and went into the house after hearing a few words from Mother Ma.
Separated by the door panel and the thick cotton curtain, there is a huge difference between hot and cold inside and outside.
After the coldness left his body, Wan Yue walked into the inner room.
While serving Lin Yunyan's face, she found that the princess was a little absent-minded.
After helping the person sit down in front of the dressing table, Wan Yue took a comb to comb her hair and asked softly: "Are you worried that it is not warm enough at night?"
Normally, the temperature in the room is sufficient, but for the Duke, the hotter the better.
Lin Yunyan blinked her eyes and said, "I hear the wind is strong and it's going to snow again."
Wan Yue nodded.
After a while, she heard her princess say again: "I haven't seen such heavy snow in many years."
Wan Yue was stunned for a moment when he said this.
"It seems," Wan Yue tried hard to recall, "it snows every year, and there are times when the snow is heavy, but it seems to be different from today. The last time... I really can't remember it. Maybe it was when I was a child."
Lin Yunyan listened to her words and chuckled: "How can it be so far?"
The moon also smiles.
Xu Jian sat on the edge of the bed. After hearing this, he looked up and met Lin Yunyan's eyes through the dressing mirror.
Wan Yue couldn't understand, but Xu Jian knew where Lin Yunyan's "several years" came from, but his time experience was also different from Lin Yunyan's. For a while, he couldn't remember when and where they met.
A blizzard.
The wind was strong and the windows rattled.
The lights were turned on early in the room, and Lin Yunyan lay on the warm quilt, leaning against Xu Jian, and fell asleep in a daze.
In her sleep, she heard the howling wind. She was so sleepy that she couldn't tell what night it was, which made her feel as if she was in the snow.
She dreamed about the blizzard.
As the years passed, she could remember many things, but more of them became blurry and uncertain as time went by.
Only those ups and downs that touched her can be clearly reappeared after a few years or more than ten years. Even if she doesn't think about the parts at all on weekdays, and even things she thought she had forgotten, wait until they come to mind again.
Only then did she realize belatedly that she had never forgotten it.
That was when they were trapped in Jinzhong.
The twelfth lunar month of winter is hard to live with, and the wind and snow come more and more.
Where can they travel in this kind of weather? What’s more, the things they want to investigate in Jinzhong have not yet been revealed.
Xu Jian wanted to find an inconspicuous small village and asked the villagers to borrow a house to stay. It was cheaper in the countryside and much more economical than in the city.
It was also good luck that they met the old grandmother who used to be around Chen.
The grandma's surname was Tu. She lost her husband in her early years. When she got older, her son took her back to her hometown in Jinzhong to provide for her retirement.
At that time, Uncle Chengyi's house was still in ruins. When he left the house, he took a sum of money, which was enough to live a good life here.
Aunt Tu met Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian who were in trouble. She thought of the uncle's past kindness and also thought of the current situation where her family was broken up and her family was broken up. She cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. She arranged for a few people to go to a village in the countryside and asked them to spend time together.
Through this period of wind and snow.
That ten-day period, in Lin Yunyan's opinion, was the most relaxed and relaxing time since they left Beijing.
If it is not swept away, the snow can reach half a person's height. The wind blows so much that the snow foam blinds the eyes, and no one can be seen after more than ten steps. The weather is so bad that all pursuers have given up.
There was enough food and drink in Zhuangzi, and there was also meat and fish. Grandma Tu also recalled the dishes she would cook in winter in the past, so she combined some ingredients and cooked them twice.
During her free time, Aunt Tu recalled the past with her, what it was like in the good old days, and asked about the current situation of the Lin family, wiping away tears as she talked.
It was also in this situation that Lin Yunyan burst into tears.
Xu Jian stayed by her side and let her cry loudly without trying to persuade her.
With so many changes and ups and downs, it is not a good thing to keep them in your heart. It is better to cry out and let go.
…
In the darkness, Lin Yunyan opened her eyes.
Her eyelids were very sore, she raised her hand to rub them, and then gradually woke up to the sound of wind, realizing that those in Jinzhong were a dream.
Lin Yunyan turned over and got closer to the person next to her.
Xu Jian was not deep in sleep. As soon as Lin Yunyan moved, he woke up. He subconsciously reached out and patted Lin Yunyan on the shoulder through the quilt.
The room was warm, but it was his legs that were afraid of the cold, but not his arms.
In order to make my legs more comfortable, I really strained my arms and often became hot and sweaty in the middle of the night.
"Before going to bed, do you want to ask when the heavy snowfall I mentioned was?" Lin Yunyan couldn't sleep, so she just talked to Xu Jian.
Xu Jian responded softly.
Lin Yunyan started talking to him, about Jinzhong and about Aunt Tu.
After listening for a while, Xu Jian gradually understood: "I cried all night, and I was still crying and burping in the middle of the night."
Lin Yunyan heard the teasing smile in his tone, and was about to say a few words to herself, but thinking of the situation at that time, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Aunt Tu keeps asking me, how could an uncle or a prince have ended up in such a situation when he has never done anything to disgrace the imperial court?" Lin Yunyan pursed her lips, "I also asked, how come
That’s it.”
Xu Jian was silent for a moment, and then the hand pressing on the quilt started to clap again: "It's not us who are powerless now."
Lin Yunyan took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and raised her head to look at Xu Jian.
"Is that person really so calm?" she asked, "seeing that Li Shao's matter is getting worse and worse, he just lets Wang Gouzi work so hard that he still hasn't achieved any results?"
Xu Jian said: "If he was impatient, how could he have escaped unscathed from the battle for the inheritance?"
The impatient one is Li Mi.
The one who continued to attack even though he knew the chances were slim was Li Jun in Yongji Palace.
The other princes may be said to be aware of current affairs and able to keep their composure, but after the late emperor confirmed that Jin Shang will inherit the throne, they have been in peace and haven't shown any signs of weakness.
No matter whether you are unwilling or not, you still have the green hills.

"With his ability and vision, he must have seen the true intention of His Majesty," Xu Jian said softly, "If only some courtiers were in a panic, there would still be room for discussion, but what the Holy Sage wants to do is already
It's a done deal.
If he sings the opposite, not only will he not be able to keep Li Shao's position as crown prince, but he will also drag himself into trouble.
It would be better to stop and look at it coldly and take this opportunity to touch on the relationship between North Korea and China.
Just like Master Zhen, he may not be sure which one of the three princes Master Zhen has a personal relationship with, but he certainly won’t think that Master Zhen is ‘alone and helpless’. Given time, he might be able to identify it as Master Fei.”
Lin Yunyan nodded slightly: "That's right. Anyway, the Holy Father only used the deposed prince to hammer and sharpen Li Shao, not just abandon it. When the limelight is over, he will find a way to make Li Shao make meritorious service and establish a prince again. This path will still work.
."
"I think that dog is quite honest. The Holy One will not touch him," Xu Jian said.
Li Shao is willing to let Wang Gouzi follow him, and Wang Gouzi has been coaxing Li Shao to do good deeds recently.
Instead of using another servant who doesn't know where he came from, it would be better to keep a doggy dog who will notice every trouble.
"The person behind the scenes doesn't want to find a new person," Lin Yunyan said. "It's not easy to train someone. If you continue to be a loser and want to put someone in front of Li Shao who can more or less coax him, it will be difficult."
.
However, there are only a few days before the sealing, and if we really want to depose the prince, we will arrange it after the new year."
"The major events of the country are proceeding step by step," Xu Jian said. "In this year, many people are having a hard time."
Amidst the howling wind, the two men spoke softly.
Until sleepiness came over again, Lin Yunyan yawned, leaned her head on Xu Jian's shoulder, and became drowsy.
Xu Jian listened to her long breathing and tucked her into the bed.
His eyes were used to the darkness, and his night vision was already good. He turned his head and looked at her quietly for a while before closing his eyes.
As expected, it got colder in the second half of the night.
Eunuch Tong set up a small stove, heated up two pots of wine, and called Cheng Xi over for supper.
A mouthful of spicy wine went down his throat, and his body couldn't help but feel warmer. Cheng Xi picked up a piece of meat from the small pot with chopsticks.
After drinking a bowl of wine, Eunuch Tong asked the question: "I heard that the master has been in a bad mood these days?"
"Who did you listen to?" Cheng Xi asked, "Are you just guessing?"
Eunuch Tong curled his lips: "I said he broke the bowl set."
"Hey!" Cheng Xi said, "It was accidentally broken. The master really wasn't angry. I've been waiting close to you all day long. How could I have known it?"
To tell you the truth, after my master came back in the past few days, he mostly read chess records and had tea. There was no expression on his face, and he talked to me as usual.
I originally thought that the master would be unhappy, but I really haven't noticed it these past few days.
Now that I think about it, the master has never experienced any big storms, so these things are really out of place right now."
When Eunuch Tong heard what he said, he felt relieved: "Master is worthy of being a master."
Cheng Xi nodded.
The two of them ate the rest of the food and wine before leaving.
Eunuch Tong sent Cheng Xi out. He paused when he opened the door and said, "Wang Qi was born two days ago. I thought it was his first birthday after his death, so I burned some paper money for him in the corner of the backyard.
Pour some wine.
The master is stable, but I can't help but worry about this and that.
I still mean what I said to you at that time..."
Cheng Xi clicked his tongue.
Of course he remembered what Eunuch Tong said.
If there is really something, the person who has the information should tell the truth first, so that the other party can pack up and go out in a decent manner.
"I'm leaving first," Cheng Xi said, "Don't think too much, don't scare yourself.
Previously, the master was tricked by the auxiliary prince, and he looked at him by mistake, so he was caught off guard.
We can all see it now, even if the situation is unfavorable these days, as long as we avoid the hidden arrows, the open ones are not scary.
Let’s wait and see.”
Eunuch Tong responded.
It snowed all night.
At the meeting the next day, there were wet footprints in the Jinluan Hall.
The Holy Emperor is sitting on the big throne. The small throne next to him is empty. Li Shao did not come today.
Halfway through the third watch, the prince fell ill with a fever. The doctor from the East Palace was urgently summoned to diagnose and prescribe medicine overnight, not long after he fell asleep.
The Holy Emperor learned that Li Shao could not stand up from the fever, so he asked the imperial doctor carefully.
According to the imperial doctor, he caught a cold in the paddock on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. He had to take medicine to suppress the fever, but the symptoms were still in his body. Only His Highness was young and could not see the signs.
After that, many things happened, and His Highness experienced great emotional ups and downs, which eventually caused the symptoms to appear again.
It will definitely get better, but you just have to take good care of yourself, and you can't rely on your young age to not take good care of yourself.
After hearing this, the Holy Emperor allowed Li Shao to rest.
However, while the prince is recuperating, the Holy Emperor will still go to court, and the morning court will not be less "lively" because of the prince's absence.
After Censor Ge targeted the Holy One yesterday, the main point of discussion among the courtiers, especially the Censors today, is no longer how the prince should admit his mistake, but how the Holy Master should punish the prince.
Quotes from scriptures, lengthy arguments, and real feelings.
The security guard stood up and said a lot.
"I am old and have relied on my ancestors for help. I have not made much achievements over the years. Fortunately, I have not embarrassed my ancestors."
"The greatest achievement in this life is to have many children and grandchildren. I also feel that even if these children and grandchildren are not good enough, at least they have not caused big troubles. When I think about it in my free time, I even feel smug."
"It wasn't until I heard Mr. Ge's words yesterday that I realized that my previous ideas were completely wrong. If people like us who live on the salary of the imperial court cannot serve the imperial court, we would be really shameless."
"I am determined to properly discipline my children and grandchildren, especially my grandchildren. They are young and hope to do more for the court. However, after thinking about it, I am most worried about Yaosun Cheng'an."
"Wen Wenwu, Cheng'an is not without foundation, but in terms of character, he is also a bastard who likes to fight crickets and cocks all day long. I want to scold him, but when I think of the prince, I don't know how to scold him."
"Your Majesty, the veteran is definitely not the only one who is in such trouble. If His Highness the Crown Prince can accept the punishment and learn a lesson, the veteran will teach the unscrupulous descendants a lesson and help them understand more."
If Censor Ge's scolding of "the middle path is ruined" made the Holy One angry, then Bao Baohou's polite words made the Holy One unable to express his anger.
One is hard and the other is soft, both hard and soft.
The other courtiers who had prepared their speeches took the opportunity to stand up one after another.
"The common people are talking a lot and are very worried about His Royal Highness."
"What kind of situation His Highness was in the paddock was witnessed by so many royal guards."
"The capital has concealed the past, but the soldiers stationed at Yumen Pass at that time all knew that His Highness sneaked out of the pass and injured the Duke of Fu. If this matter remains unresolved, it will hurt the hearts of the border officers."
The Holy Father sat there and listened for a long time.
He didn't speak until it was already bright outside.
His voice was tired and hoarse. As his eyes passed over the courtiers below, the Holy Master said: "Do you mean that I should depose the prince?"
As soon as the words fell, there was silence.
Even though many people were waiting for this result, they did not dare to respond casually for a while.
After a long time, Prince Ping stood up and said: "Your Majesty, think twice."
Someone broke the situation, and many people followed. "Your Majesty, think twice" came and went in the hall.
The Holy Emperor waved his hand, stopped the words of the people below, and asked: "You sir, please ask me to think twice, are you asking me to think about it, or not to abandon it?"
