Although calamus incense was burned in the front hall and trickled out, there were still flowers and trees in the courtyard, and there were more and more mosquitoes.
Zhang Guiren knelt for a long time, and his knees had lost the initial sting and had become numb.
Ji Ling came over to see her in the afternoon. He saw Zhang Guiren's small face, which looked ugly and his eyes were slightly closed. Although he tried his best to support her, his head was still drooping forward.
Ji Ling stretched out his hand to support her chin, while patting her back, he whispered, "Shengjian! Please bear with me! Come on, please bear with me!".
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the curtain on the front hall was lifted, and Hua Rong came out to salute. He glanced at Zhang Guizheng and said, "I would like to say hello to Mr. Ji! Noble sir, although it is summer, after all, the night is cold and dew heavy. The Queen Mother, please give me your greetings."
I invite you to sit inside and rest!"
Ji Ling smiled slightly and said calmly: "Thanks to the Queen's grace, I can let my concubine stay here to accompany Zhang Guiren. This has already caused difficulties for the Queen. I am very grateful. How can I go in and sit there?"
!".
Hua Rong then pursed his lips and smiled and said: "No need to worry, Mr. Ji. It was almost the time when the Queen saw Zhang Guiren kneeling, so she sent someone to the Yangxin Palace to deliver a message to the emperor. At this time, I am afraid that the person who replied has already
On the way!".
As soon as she finished speaking, the eunuch who went to the Yangxin Hall to deliver a message had returned. After entering the palace for a while, the queen's message came from inside, saying that Zhang Guiren could get up and go back, and said that the emperor, Xuanji Guiren, should go to Yangxin Palace.
Heart Palace.
Qixi and Zhang Guiren's personal maid Maidong stood on one side, half supporting and half holding Zhang Guiren up.
Both of Zhang Guiren's knees were swollen. She stood up, but when her legs were straightened, the pain made her hold Ophiopogon japonicus's hand and tremble all over.
Ji Ling told Maidong a few words and did not dare to delay Yin's call, so he took Qixi to the Yangxin Hall.
As soon as he arrived outside the Yangxin Hall, two servants from the imperial court had already come to greet him.
Xiao Chenzi was waiting at the door of the front hall. In a blink of an eye, he saw Mr. Ji Gui coming, and immediately walked down the steps. When he arrived in front of Ji Ling, he clapped his sleeves with both hands, lifted up his front shirt, knelt down, and said with a smile on his face: "Slave
Greetings to the auspicious nobleman, may the noble man be blessed with gold!".
Ji Ling was led into Dongnuan Pavilion.
On the royal desk, a pure gold Kowloon candlestick illuminated the entire Nuan Pavilion as brightly as day.
Yin Zheng was standing in front of the imperial case with his hands behind his back, staring at a secret report in trance. When he heard the movement, he raised his head with great vigilance. When he saw it was Ji Ling, his face softened and he said: "You are here."
Ji Ling knelt down on the spot and said: "Yes. Concubine, please send your regards to the emperor. May the emperor be blessed with peace and prosperity."
Before she could finish speaking, Yin had already walked over, stretched out his hand to help her up, paused, and then whispered: "I want to protect you about the situation in Kunning Palace today, so I can't say anything more."
Ji Ling whispered: "I know.".
Yin stretched out his arms, held Ji Ling's hand, looked her up and down, and then said: "The flood in Zhili, the emergency report is urgent. I have been busy all afternoon, and now I can find some time. I haven't paid attention yet."
Let me ask you, are there any injuries?"
Ji Ling smiled and stretched out his arms to show Yin, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm not hurt anywhere!".
Yin stood there with his face as usual and just smiled.
Ji Ling didn't know if it was his own misunderstanding, but he actually noticed a trace of bitterness on Yin's face, but the expression flashed past and disappeared in an instant like the wind touching the water.
He nodded, stretched out his hand to hold Ji Ling's wrist, and asked her in a low voice: "You just came here from Kunning Palace?".
Ji Ling nodded and said obediently: "Yes, I'm going to see Zhang Guiren. She has always been timid and weak. She has been kneeling like this for a long time. I don't feel at ease."
When she finished speaking, she saw that the look in Yin's eyes turned pale, and she couldn't help but lower her voice gradually, and said carefully: "Your Majesty... is what I did inappropriate?
She paused and explained honestly: "I just looked at Zhang Guiren. I didn't do anything. I didn't dare to let her eat or drink. I didn't ask for mercy from the Empress, making it difficult for the Empress."
Yin shook his head and said: "I don't mean to blame you. Since you are in love with her, you always care about our friendship. This is human nature."
After he said this, he nodded slightly, looked at Ji Ling, his expression slowly became serious, and said: "You have been wronged about what happened today, I know it in my heart."
When Ji Ling heard what he said, her heart warmed up, and she suddenly didn't know how to answer.
She only felt that her voice was slightly hoarse and her head was hot, so she said: "The emperor said so, I will not feel wronged.".
After finishing speaking, he added: "A grievance that can be seen is not a grievance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ling looked at Fourth Master's usually cold and determined eyebrows and raised them slightly.
The pair of deep eyes under his sword-shaped brows, although unfathomable, now have a touch of gentleness that is palpable.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Yin patted the back of Ji Ling's hand and muttered: "A grievance that can be seen is not a grievance...".
He raised his head, smiled and said, "That's a wonderful thing to say."
Yin suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Su Peisheng!".
Su Peisheng had just seen Ji Guiren enter the Nuan Pavilion, and he had already driven out the slaves inside with his winks.
Which of the slaves who can squeeze themselves into the imperial palace to serve is not a human spirit?
The eunuchs had already retreated quietly.
At this moment, Su Peisheng was holding the door of the Nuan Pavilion to close, and had already stepped out with one foot, seeing the inky moonlight outside the hall.
Suddenly hearing the emperor's shout, he hurriedly ran in and said: "My servant is here!".
Only Yin said: "Is Mr. Ji Gui's Ping'an pulse still under the supervision of Imperial Physician Di?"
Su Peisheng was startled, then thought about it carefully, and then said: "If I go back to the emperor, it must be Imperial Physician Di!".
He tried to figure out what the emperor meant by asking this question, and quietly took a look at the expression on the emperor's face.
Yingang was about to speak, but Ji Ling said: "Your Majesty, Dr. Di looked at me very well, and he is familiar with my previous illness. He has been taking my pulse since winter, so there is no need to change it!".
Yin glanced at her and said: "That's fine, Dr. An is a senior doctor. I originally wanted him to give you a look and prescribe some prescriptions for treating shock. Since you are used to Dr. Di, it won't change."
.”.
There is a large window on the north wall of the Dongnuan Pavilion, and there is a mica tile awning. There is no other shelter. It is transparent and clean. When the two people are in the Nuan Pavilion, they can easily have a clear view of the outside world as soon as they turn their heads.
He still didn't let go of her hand, only listening to the silence in front of Yangxin Hall, except for the sound of fallen leaves gently hitting the jade steps.
Yin suddenly said: "I want to go out for a walk, you come with me."
