There is no emperor, no concubines in the harem, no maids in the palace, no endless banquets, no legendary fairyland. When night falls, it looks like a ghost.
Not popular.
But listen carefully and there are many sounds.
In just a few years, a lot of things happened in the palace, including official changes, Ankangshan's entry into the capital, and the death of many people, including noble concubines, the late emperor, and countless eunuchs and palace guards. It is said that there is still blood in the waterways in the palace. These are the craftsmen who repaired the palace.
They are legendary.
The craftsmen lived in the palace.
They are very busy at work. Although the palace was not completely destroyed by Ankang Mountain as told to the outside world, there are indeed many places that need repairing after hundreds of years.
The two craftsmen stood motionless outside the temple.
"Brother, did you hear anything?"
"No..."
"It seems like there are a lot of people running."
"Look there's still light over there!"
"The light is gone again!"
"Is there any crying?"
"It's the wind!"
I heard that there were killings in the palace, and eunuchs and maids were running around. It is said that people don’t know they are dead when they die, and they always repeat their last actions in life...
They couldn't move their bodies and could only keep talking. The more they talked, the more they felt unable to move, until a shout came from behind, "What are you doing?"
The two of them shivered in fear and turned around.
An official held a lamp, followed by several guards, looking at them solemnly.
Seeing a living person, and it was the Shangguan they knew, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, "We are here to get charcoal" and "We are on duty tonight."
The official said: "Go back as soon as you have finished taking it. Don't walk around at will at night."
The two of them walked towards the palace in a hurry, and the official called behind them: "If you hear any noise at night, don't come out."
The two craftsmen looked back to see the officials' faces flickering under the swaying lanterns, half of them blue and half white. They shivered in fright, stammered in response, and fled back into the palace without looking back.
When the sun once again enveloped the earth, news of the strangeness in the palace also spread.
The two adults, Wu and Zheng, learned the news immediately.
"Is the palace haunted?" Lord Zheng frowned and rolled his sleeves, "What nonsense!"
"The craftsmen said that they heard noises at night, and the guards in the palace were on heightened alert." A eunuch whispered, "It is also said that so many craftsmen were hired not to repair the palace, but to inflate the Yang energy.
....”
The gentleman didn't say anything about his strange power and confusion. Mr. Wu waved his hand and said, "Go, go, talk nonsense."
"Your Majesty, please be aware." An official whispered, "Actually, there were assassins in the palace last night. We are trying to catch the assassins. There were assassins who assassinated Mrs. Chu and Governor Wu."
Assassin! Is there really an assassin?
The two adults, Zheng and Wu, suddenly became solemn: "Is it possible to succeed?"
The official shook his head: "I don't know exactly."
"But news came from the palace this morning that there will be no more discussions." Another official whispered, "An imperial doctor came in and said he was treating Mrs. Wu."
To conceal the truth, the two adults, Zheng and Wu, are most familiar with this kind of thing. Something must have happened!
"Sir, Mr. Liu is here." A clerk called outside the door.
Upon hearing this, the two adults, Zheng and Wu, waved to the officials and eunuchs in the room, who hurriedly exited through the side door.
The yamen in the capital were much larger than the yamen in Dao, but when Liu Fan walked in, he still saw a few people slipping out of the side door, and knew that they were here to inform Mr. Zheng and Wu.
He didn't take it seriously, nor was he surprised. Most of the officials in the capital were old people and would belong to the court sooner or later. Therefore, the sooner he could win the favor of the adults from the court, the better. The same was true for the eunuchs.
There is nothing that should not be said to others, whether the Lady of Chu is doing things or the officials and soldiers in the capital, they can say whatever they want.
Liu Fan walked straight in without looking sideways. The two adults Wu and Zheng treated him as an outsider and asked straight to the point: "There are assassins in the palace? Have the Governor and Mrs. Chu been assassinated?"
Liu Fan didn't hide anything and nodded: "It was Youxiao who caused trouble, but he didn't succeed."
Wu and Zheng believed half of it, but they stopped asking whether Governor Wu or Madam Chu was injured. They just let the eunuchs inquire.
"It's annoying." They expressed their anger and worry. "They must be rebels. Have they learned that the governor is coming? Will Hebei Road be in danger?"
Liu Fandao: "It is very possible that although the governor went to the capital to keep it secret, he has been in the capital for so long and the people in the capital are complicated, so the news will always come out."
Wu and Zheng both nodded in agreement.
"So, why did Your Majesty come to Beijing?" Liu Fan asked, "The emperor returns to the court early and scares Xiaoxiao, so that we can stabilize Daxia early."
Wu and Zheng were immediately shocked and angry. What kind of person is this! What kind of heart! The capital is like this, and they are forcing His Majesty to come back!
...
...
Jin Jue held the medicine and reached out to wipe her tears, her steps staggering.
"Slow down." Jiang Ming stood outside the palace to remind and comfort him, "Don't be afraid, the imperial doctor said it's okay."
Jin Jue's tears dropped even more: "Master, you don't have to coax me, my lady's illness is not something that a doctor can treat..."
Jiang Ming sighed: "At least the doctor can know whether the young lady's life is in danger."
Last night, Li Minglou vomited blood and cried loudly before falling into a coma. There was really no other way. The lady's condition was not a disease, and she had to seek medical advice.
The imperial doctor could not tell anything after looking at it. He only said that he was uneasy and had a loss of essence and blood, but his life was not in danger. He prescribed some medicine to soothe the nerves and replenish qi for him to try.
Jin Jue sniffed: "Fortunately, the governor is here."
Jiang Mingjiang lifted the curtain, and Wu Yaer's upright figure was like a pillar deep in the hall.
Jin Jue hurriedly walked in and said something to Wu Ya'er, who then walked to the couch and sat down, reaching out to pick up the lying woman and letting her lean into his arms.
Kumquat slowly feed the medicine with a small spoon.
Regarding Wu Ya'er's actions, Yuan Ji and Fang Er, who were sitting beside the couch, didn't say anything, let alone stop him. Yuan Ji even got up and walked out.
"Don't you have to stare at him anymore?" Jiang Ming asked in a low voice. Looking at the man hugging the young lady inside, he must have taken the initiative to hug the young lady.
Yuan Ji said: "What's the use of staring at him."
Jiang Ming looked up and saw the lantern hanging on the corridor, and thought of what happened last night: "Take all precautions, take off your armor, be single, and not bring weapons. It's a bit ridiculous now that I think about it."
That man was capable of ripping off lanterns, throwing bamboo sticks as arrows, and picking flowers and flying leaves to kill people.
If he wants to hurt the lady, what can he do to prevent him?
"That's not it." Yuan Ji said, "He saved the young lady."
And only him.
At that time, no one noticed anything strange about the young lady, and he was still standing next to the young lady.
"Yes, how did he find out?" Jiang Ming murmured, thinking about what happened last night, his heart palpitated and he felt as if he was in a dream, "And he can also see where he hurt the young lady."
They picked up the bamboo stick thrown by Wu Ya'er from the roof over there. At that time, they heard the bamboo stick hit something and saw the flames rising, but when they picked it up, they saw that the bamboo stick showed no trace of impact or fire.
They asked Wu Ya'er what he saw there, but Wu Ya'er couldn't answer. He just felt that there was something there.
But no matter what, it was Wu Ya'er who saved the young lady.
An outsider, a stranger, someone who is always on guard...
Yuanji looked around the palace. Soldiers were constantly patrolling by. The search lasted all night and found nothing. All he could do was strengthen the defense, but what was the use? The previous defense was tight enough, but the young lady was still silently attacked.
attack....
This is beyond human power.
Yuan Ji said: "I want to tell Wu Ya'er about the young lady."
Jiang Ming was shocked: "Tell him? Is it okay?"
Yuanji looked at him and said: "He can save the lady. For the sake of the lady's safety, we must let him know what is going on."
.....
.....
After Jin Jue finished feeding the medicine, Wu Ya'er took the kerchief and gently wiped the corners of Li Minglou's mouth, and then gently pressed his hand on her face and forehead...
"Slight sweating, no fever," he said, "Only shortness of breath."
Although the imperial doctor could not see Li Minglou's symptoms, he said that as long as he did not have a fever, he would be fine.
Jin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Ya'er put Li Minglou back on the couch. Mrs. Wu, who had been sitting quietly aside, moved over. Jin Jue was a little uneasy, fearing that she would disturb the young lady. Before she could speak, Mrs. Wu gently stroked her.
Caressing Li Minglou's head, he hissed at Jinju: "The bird is asleep, don't wake her up."
Jin Jue moved to sit next to her, sniffed and hummed.
Wu Ya'er walked from the bed to Yuan Ji: "What do you want to tell me?"
Yuan Ji said: "We and the young lady's identities cannot be told to the governor."
Wu Ya'er nodded: "She told me about this, don't worry, I won't ask."
Yuan Ji said: "Director Wu, the reason why I can't tell you is because the lady has been cursed and cannot reveal her identity."
Curse? Wu Yaer was surprised.
"The young lady couldn't see the sun at first, so she covered her head and face with a black robe and umbrella."
"If the sun shines on the lady, the lady's body will ulcerate."
"If Miss reveals her identity or is identified by others, her body will also ulcerate."
"The most terrifying thing is that the lady looks fine, but in fact she has injuries on her body that only she can see and feel."
"To be honest, the Governor, before the Governor came, the young lady had just received a new injury, and it has not recovered yet."
Each of these words sounded unbelievable. Wu Ya'er's expression went from surprised to shocked, and then solemn. He clenched the hands hanging by his side. He turned his head and looked at the couch. The girl on the couch was wearing white clothes and had a face.
As white as snow, the exposed skin is as smooth as jade...
Under this fairy-like appearance, he actually endured the pain of being torn apart and torn apart?
She couldn't see the daylight and was covered by a black robe and an umbrella, but she rushed to help her and was recognized by the rebels, so she took off her robe to cover her up.
At that time, she was sitting on the battlefield with him. When she saw the sky light up, she sighed that it was dawn.
At that time, he thought it was dawn and just sighed to leave. Now it seems that dawn is the beginning of pain for her.
Wu Ya'er turned around and strode back to the couch, reaching out and holding Li Minglou in her arms.
Jiang Ming sighed: "What, what are you doing..."
The medicine has been given!
Yuan Ji took his arm and gritted his teeth and said, "Pity, it's pity."
Just like the lady just finished talking about Wu Ya'er's life experience, and then she went to hug Wu Ya'er!
