The pale and straight throat, separated by a curtain, was still sharp and crisp, scratching someone's face like a razor blade.
Shen Nanbao was startled and glanced over.
The thick curtain was being rolled up, and countless snow-foam white hydrangeas rolled in, rolled into the air and melted away, leaving only the beautiful figure standing there, shining brightly.
Shen Nanbao raised his head.
Emperor Yongfu stood on the side of the door curtain and took out a free hand to pat the snow on her shoulder. Her fair face showed a little redness after being exposed to the cold wind for too long.
But this redness is a sign of death, which makes her face look like a Tsing Yi on the stage, and her eyes look like a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, dignified and serious.
Shen Nanbao was reflected in it, looking like a criminal waiting to be brought to court for trial.
Shen Nanbao was not surprised when Emperor Yongfu came to visit, but he was still stunned for a moment.
When he came to his senses, Shen Nanbao had already raised his chin, "Feng Yue, go and pour some tea."
After the wind and moon subsided, Shen Nanbao said again: "I heard someone told me about the newly prepared chestnut cake? Go and bring it to me to try."
With a word of instruction, Lu Kui was pushed away again.
When the heavy face lifted up and fell down again, the sound of falling snow outside made the house feel extraordinarily quiet.
Emperor Yongfu took her seat in silence, picking up her skirt and sitting next to Shen Nanbao.
Separated by the small kang table with black peonies and curly grass patterns, the two of them looked like chess players playing chess.
Finally, Emperor Yongfu spoke, "Do you know why I came to see you today?"
Shen Nanbao was silent. Emperor Yongfu glanced at it and continued: "You have been in confinement for these days and have no ears to hear what is going on outside the window. In order to prevent you from being exposed like this and being laughed at, I will tell you what happened recently. That’s it.”
Emperor Yongfu paused for a moment, her face reflected in the snowy light coming from the window, giving her an unpredictable look.
"Liu Shangyi was fined fifty strokes. Because she couldn't survive it, she died. Her punishment was very simple. She was the one responsible for the wolfsbane on that day in the first year of the year."
As Emperor Yongfu spoke, she glanced at Shen Nanbao. Seeing that she still looked calm, she couldn't help but increase her tone.
"Actually, she said it was her, but it wasn't her. It was just an unintentional move on her part. The reason was that she had a adopted goddaughter in the palace. She had pain in her stomach and the accumulation of scars, so she had to use cruel methods like wolfsbane. He added the medicine with the medicine, but accidentally touched the Spring Festival couplets that he had given to me as a filial piety."
How could Shang Yi, one of the dignified Six Divisions, fall short on such details?
If that were the case, after all these years, her head would no longer be enough for her to lose.
What's more, it makes sense for anyone to handle it, Liu Shangyi, who once taught her the rules...
Shen Nanbao wouldn't believe it if there wasn't even a hint of the saint's desire to knock mountains and shake tigers in this.
However, ridicule is ridicule, no matter what he thinks in his heart, Shen Nanbao still looks peaceful on the outside.
In the eyes of Emperor Yongfu, such peace is like a needle, tingling with pain.
Emperor Yongfu could not help but frown a little, but quickly relaxed, "This is a matter between Liu Shangyi and Dr. Mao Ji..."
These words finally caught Shen Nanbao's attention.
Emperor Yongfu's lips curled up a little, "Maoji Hospital, a dignified medical officer from the imperial family Zijin, spread rumors without permission that there is some barefoot doctor who specializes in women's medicine. Not only that, but he actually brought in such a person with no medical qualifications. After leaving the palace, he allowed him to treat Concubine Hefei and even claimed that he could cure Concubine Hefei's infertility..."
The person next to me came closer, and the gentle breeze was like a cold wind blowing through my ears, which was very exciting.
"Do you think Dr. Mao Ji is just letting others slap our ears randomly? Dad was naturally furious, but he understood that Dr. Mao Ji had worked hard for many years, so he was given a lenient sentence and just asked him to retire and return home without any further punishment. .”
As soon as he finished speaking, the wind outside suddenly started blowing, and it slapped the window with murderous intent, making the room feel strangely quiet.
Emperor Yongfu couldn't sit still. The sight of half a cup of tea consumed all her patience. She turned her head and looked at Shen Nanbao across a table, "Did you hear that?"
"I heard."
The brief reply did not satisfy Emperor Yongfu at all, and her eyebrows even raised, "Then what? Did you just hear it? Do you understand?"
Shen Nanbao turned his head and met Emperor Yongfu's eyes, one red and one white, one still and one moving, just like their hearts at the moment, just like their tone of voice.
Shen Nanbao said: "I understand."
But this kind of understanding is a perfunctory understanding, an understanding that is superficial and does not penetrate into the heart at all.
Emperor Yongfu couldn't help gritting her teeth, "Do you really understand? Or do you think that you are only in solitary confinement this time, so you don't take it seriously?"
In his sight, Shen Nanbao was still sitting there, like a clay statue of Bodhisattva, with deep compassion, but he couldn't withstand a single blow and fell apart just by splashing water on him.
Emperor Yongfu couldn't help but feel annoyed, "I've spent so much time talking, and my mouth is dry. If you still think I'm thinking about Yang'er, I'll make it clear to you. Don't think that your confinement this time is for your own sake." You are an auspicious person. Let me tell you, it’s because I let you go intentionally. It’s because I want you to know not to struggle in vain, and don’t try to compete with me..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Nanbao interrupted her, "Why are you telling me this?"
Emperor Yongfu was stunned for a moment, her frozen face filled with surprise, astonishment, and a slight twinkle.
And this flicker, combined with her pursed mouth and evasive eyes, gave it a hint of innocence, "There were a lot of unpleasantness in the past, but no matter what, we all share the same blood, and I don't want to see it." It’s so sad for you.”
In fact, Emperor Yongfu felt awkward saying this.
But it was precisely this awkwardness that made Shen Nanbao see her true intentions.
It's a pity that such sincerity and the remaining innocence were taken away by the saint and became a raft to warn her.
The corners of Shen Nanbao's mouth pursed a little, and the curve was sarcastic and indifferent, but soon, like a meteor passing by, he quickly disappeared from people's eyes, leaving only a flat throat saying: "I understand."
Although it was still such a short sentence, there was a softness in his voice.
Hearing this, Emperor Yongfu's face turned slightly, "No matter what happened in the past, it is in the past. As long as we have eyes, we should look forward. This will be good for you, my mother-in-law, and my father."
Shen Nanbao didn't make any objections to this, but Emperor Yongfu didn't mind. She just breathed a sigh of relief. Her face was like a barren field, and her smile was like a flower that had grown out of such barren land with difficulty.
"Now that it's all over and you know it, I will forget about the past and just treat you like one of those sisters, and treat you well!"
There was a bit of joy in his words, as if he had been suppressing it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back when he came to this place. Like boiling water hitting the lid of a pot, the "knock, knock, knock, knock" invigorated people's hearts.
"After being imprisoned for so long, you should be exhausted! My sisters are all saying that you suffered a lot of injustice last time in the first year of the year. When you come out this time, I will take good care of you. !”
As he spoke, he stood up and without waiting for Shen Nanbao's reply, he said again: "Go to bed early today. My sisters will come to see you tomorrow!"
Not to mention other things, Shen Nanbao was only relaxed and happy just getting along with his sisters, so when Yongfu Diji finished her words, the face that seemed to be frozen finally regained some life.
Shen Nanbao smiled and said, "I understand. I will get up early tomorrow and wait for my sisters to come."
With these words, Emperor Yongfu stopped trying to mediate. She raised the curtains and was about to leave when she bumped into Lu Kui, who was carrying tea cakes.
Lu Kui bowed to her.
Although she behaved very appropriately, Emperor Yongfu glanced up and down, looked back and smiled at Shen Nanbao, "I left at the wrong time. The tea has just arrived, so I asked my sister to prepare it in vain."
Shen Nanbao smiled politely, "It's because the people in my palace are slow."
After saying goodbye, Shen Nanbao watched Emperor Yongfu go away before entering the palace.
After standing outside for a while, sporadic snow foam fell on Shen Nanbao's face. As soon as he entered, he was hit by the warm wind, which melted away a cold and stinging pain.
Shen Nanbao couldn't help but frowned.
Seeing this, Lu Kui put the tea cup on the Kang table and served Shen Nanbao with tea, "Di Ji, please have some tea."
Shen Nanbao held the cup in both hands. The walls of the cup were warm, from his fingers to his heart and lungs.
Shen Nanbao couldn't help but shuddered. Through the misty scent of tea, Lu Kui was looking at her hazy face. She didn't know what she was thinking. She opened her mouth several times and finally closed it.
Shen Nanbao tilted his head and looked at the tea stems in the cup. The tea stems were green and stuck to the wall of the cup. They were slanted and facing the light, like a green banana plant.
Shen Nanbao was fascinated by what he saw, and his tone was a little casual, "Where is Feng Yue?"
Lu Kui said: "I thought that Emperor Ji and Emperor Yongfu had something to say, so I asked her to go see Gu Ziyun and the others."
These words were like a knife, cutting open the hole in Lu Kui's heart, and all the words couldn't help but flow out, "What did Emperor Yongfu say to Emperor Ji?"
Shen Nanbao was startled for a moment, then he took a sip of tea and drank it all before replying: "She told me that 'it's time to retaliate' and told me not to be too resentful."
Lu Kui was silent, "What do you think, Di Ji?"
"think?"
A look came out of Zhanbi, cold but sad, along with her tone, "Is this matter worth thinking about?"
"This is not my hatred, but the hatred of my mother and concubine. It is the injustice of my mother and concubine. I am not qualified to forgive her."
not to mention……
Is this really just a warning from a saint, as Emperor Yongfu said?
Shen Nanbao rested for a day that day, and when the next day came, the ghost's hour of baring teeth began.
Fengyue changed her into a green leather quilt with a branch pattern. When exposed to the sky, her white face looked like hot goat's milk poured out of a celadon pot. Uncontrollably, it splashed in front of everyone's eyes. , their eyes lit up one after another.
"She's so beautiful! Previously I thought it was Yun Jin that made my sister so dazzling, but I didn't think so. It can be seen that it's all nonsense to rely on clothes and gold."
Emperor Yong'an's beautiful throat sounded, which immediately attracted Emperor Ji Yongyi to joke, "I can only say that Yongle doesn't apply this. She should say it does, those who are good at calligraphy don't pick pens!"
