Lin Rong lowered his head slightly, with hair all over his temples scattered on his shoulders. His loose blouse partially exposed her beautiful shoulders. She was a little teary, and there was a bit of flushing on her pink neck. She snorted softly, with a nasal sound. With a coquettish look on her face, she suddenly shook her head: "No, I'm not sick, I'm already cured."
After that, she slowly lay down, covered her cheeks with a silk scarf, closed her eyes, and looked forward to getting out of this dream as soon as possible.
Suddenly, his body sank, and a tall and strong body was pressed down on him. Moist hot air spurted on the earlobes. Through a thin layer of snow-green silk, thin and dense kisses fell on his eyes. After a while, Lin Rong gasped slightly. With one hand trembling slightly, she uncovered the silk and stretched out her hand to outline the outline of the person in front of her. She had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, flying eyebrows like temples, and there was inextricable emotion between her eyebrows and eyes... Desire. color.
On normal days, Lin Rong would naturally feel bored, but at this time, the two of them were separated by life and death, and that little bit of anger seemed to become insignificant. Not only was it insignificant, but she felt sad in her heart. She stared blankly. He was speechless and suddenly burst into tears.
Lu Shen's face was dark and inexplicable. He lowered his head to kiss the tears on the woman's face, and finally sighed: "Don't cry. If you don't want to see me, I'll just leave."
Lu Shen was about to stand up, but suddenly his waist froze. The white jade belt around his waist tightened inch by inch. He leaned down again and saw the woman holding up a piece of powdered noodles, as if she was still picking it up. He could no longer Unable to restrain himself, he tightened his grip on the smooth waist inch by inch.
…
I don't know how much time passed, the clouds cleared and the rain cleared, Lin Rong lay weakly in Lu Shen's arms, his head felt more and more groggy, and he felt strange in his heart: This dream is so long, this night is so long.
Lu Shen hugged the woman's wet body. After an unknown amount of time, he lifted the tent and stood up.
In the haze, Lin Rong seemed to hear someone from the palace asking: "Your Majesty, do you want some medicine?"
The voice seemed to be that of Lu Shen, who nodded slightly and said, "Hey, let her sleep more."
Then there was a rustling sound of clothes, and someone from the palace fetched hot water to lift her up and scrub her body. Lin Rong frowned and hummed in a low voice: "Get out, I'll do it myself." Unfortunately, it was like a nightmare, unable to speak a word or move a finger.
She closed her eyes and lay there in a daze, not knowing whether she was still in a dream or entering another dream. After an unknown period of time, she suddenly heard the sound of roosters crowing in the distance. She felt relaxed. The head fell into a deep sleep.
When Lin Rong woke up, it was already the early morning of the second day. After sleeping for two full days, her illness was completely healed. Her clothes had been changed. She sat up slowly and felt sore all over after moving a little. .
Most of the red marks on her body from the time of sexual intercourse had dissipated, and only a slight fragrance of gardenia ointment remained on her chest. She pressed it gently, and occasionally there was still a dull pain. Then she suddenly remembered her dream at night, and she After sitting there in a daze for a long time, his face no longer looked very good.
Kingfisher came from outside, rolled up the curtain, and said with a smile: "The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor was indeed effective. The master slept for two whole days, and he was really well, and his face was rosy..." Halfway through, he stopped suddenly, He whispered: "This slave saw that the master was sick and couldn't get up. He didn't ask the master to get up yesterday morning. He was always in trouble."
Lin Rong gently fiddled with the tent fringe, trying his best to look relaxed, and asked: "Who changed my clothes?"
Kingfisher didn't say anything. The two maids standing nearby looked at each other and said in unison: "Aunt Kingfisher got up at night, and it was the two servants who ordered the clothes for the queen. The queen was hot and sweated all over. , I felt very uncomfortable, and in a daze I asked someone to bring me clean clothes."
If she was groggy at night, she would have thought she was in a dream, but she was not an ignorant little girl. When she heard Gong'e's reply and heard those few words in a hazy state, she became a little suspicious at this time.
He just felt suspicious in his heart, but his face remained normal and he said calmly: "Don't change my clothes in the future. I can do these things myself."
Although Jing Qin didn't know what happened, she was kind in the end and even covered up the two little palace ladies, saying: "They are slaves, I didn't tell them." Then she reprimanded in a low voice with a straight face: "Do you remember?"
The two palace ladies said in unison: "Remember, aunt."
Lin Rong then got up and sat lazily in front of the makeup mirror. She saw that her complexion in the bronze mirror had improved a lot and was rosy. She took a comb and slowly combed her black hair, and the gardenia-scented ointment on her chest , seems to be getting thicker and thicker.
She patted down the comb bitterly and was thinking about what to do when she saw Ah Zhao coming from a distance. His clear laughter was like a little bell, and he threw himself on Lin Rong's lap. He looked up at her for a long time. Then he laughed and crawled from his knees to Lin Rong's arms: "Mother, have you recovered from your illness?"
Lin Rong nodded, gently touched her cheek, and smiled: "When you see Ah Zhao, any illness will be cured."
Azhao tilted his head, hugged her neck, and said with a smile: "Mom smiled, is dad's illness cured? Can I see him? I want to sleep with you today, okay?"
Lin Rong didn't answer, turned over Azhao's sleeves, frowned and said, "Why are your hands so red? Could it be a mosquito bite at night?"
Ah Zhao reached out and scratched her, and the nanny beside her quickly apologized: "I failed to take good care of the princess, please forgive me."
Lin Rong smiled and waved his hands and said: "What's the problem? It's just a mosquito bite. Just cover the tent at night." Turning his head, he asked as if unintentionally: "I remember there is a kind of balm in the palace. Rubbing red marks to treat itching is the most effective. Go to Tai Hospital and ask if there are any others?"
Ah Zhao raised his head and got out of Lin Rong's arms: "I want something scented with gardenias."
Lin Rong laughed, nodded Azhao's forehead, tilted his head and said, "You are still picky, you only want this flavor?" He waved his hand and told the two palace ladies: "Go and get it quickly."
The two looked at each other, nodded, and soon took out the ointment. It was clear and clear with a faint smell of gardenia, which was the same as the smell that remained on her chest.
She immediately darkened her face and just wiped the red and swollen spot on Ah Zhao's arm quietly. After a while, Ah Zhao sighed and pouted: "Mother, the skin is almost wiped off."
Lin Rong finally came back to her senses, hugged Ah Zhao, smiled apologetically, and asked her: "Did you sleep well at night? Did you have a good meal..."
Ah Zhao fell on her shoulder, twisting and turning dissatisfied, and asked: "Mom, is Dad better? I miss him so much. If his illness is not better, I can stand outside and talk to him, okay?" ?”
Lin Rong suddenly called her and her heart moved. She raised her head and asked, "Your Majesty, are you feeling better today? What did the doctor say? Can you ask the princess to come in and have a look?"
Hearing this, Ah Zhao also looked at Gong E with hope: "Are you feeling better? Is dad feeling better today? When can I see dad?"
Lin Rong was stunned by the question from the two palace maids. He paused and replied fluently: "Returning to your Majesty, Your Majesty is feeling better today. However, the imperial doctor said that you can't see people yet, lest you get cold poison and your condition worsens."
Ah Zhao sighed in disappointment, nestled in Lin Rong's arms, and murmured in a low voice: "How long will it take to get better?" She counted on her fingers, she didn't know how many times, with a gloomy look on her face, and she couldn't help but cry in her voice: "I'm almost ready. I haven’t seen my father for nine days..."
Lin Rong coaxed her for a while, then asked her to stop crying, and hugged her to her nanny: "Go and have breakfast with your nanny first. I'll go check on your daddy. If he's awake, I'll call you." Go talk to him, okay?"
Ah Zhao nodded quickly and corrected her: "It's to relieve Dad's boredom."
Lin Rong smiled and agreed: "Yes, Ah Zhao is very good at relieving others' boredom." After saying that, Shi Shiran stood up and went to Lu Shen's side hall.
The two palace maids were immediately frightened and followed Lin Rong, advising: "Mother, your illness is just right. The corpse inside is quite heavy and cold. It's better to take care of yourself and not go in."
Lin Rong ignored him and went straight in. He was already very impatient, but there was still a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter, I will just stand at the door. A Zhao is a ghost. Son, if you don’t really go in, you won’t be able to fool her. After a short pause, you said to her, Your Majesty is not awake yet.”
She said this, no matter how easy it was to stop everyone, Lin Rong stepped in. Before he could get closer, he smelled a burning smell. As soon as he reached the curtain, the two standing maids immediately knelt down. , facing Lin Rong, he trembled and apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for your negligence. The seven-star lamp in the tent suddenly fell down for some unknown reason last night. I couldn't put it out in time, so the lamp burned His Majesty's face."
Lin Rong let out a faint sigh and sat down by the bed. He saw the body lying on the bed. His face was so black that most of it had been burned, and his true appearance was completely unrecognizable. The suspicion in my heart grew even stronger. I just pretended not to know, looked angry, and said coldly: "I won't deal with you. At this time, I only ask him about Shen Yan's errands and the people he sent."
Suddenly someone summoned Shen Yan to come in. Shen Yan knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, I made an oversight and leave it to your Majesty's disposal."
Lin Rong looked at the corpse with a burned face, twisted his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, as if he was extremely sad: "This is your person, what do you think should be done with it? The body, hair and skin are given to you by your parents, so you dare not damage them." , Your Majesty is the most powerful person in the world. He will be buried in the future, but you can’t even save the whole body? I don’t know what kind of appearance I will have to see him down there in the future?"
Shen Yan immediately said: "Such a serious crime would have punished the nine tribes. But this is an emergency, so they said she was disrespectful to the emperor and dragged her out to kill her with a stick. I wonder what your Majesty's wishes are?"
Lin Rong remained silent and did not speak, but Gong'e was very calm after hearing this, and immediately kowtowed: "Thank you for your grace."
In fact, there are many doubts about this, but since the incident happened that day, Lin Rong has not dared to see Lu Shen. Even if he met once, how could he be willing to take a closer look? In this way, he was fooled by his efforts on the first day and was fooled around.
Lin Rong sat there, wondering what he didn't understand. He gritted his teeth and snorted, saying bitterly in his heart: "Very good, Lu Shen, how dare you lie to me with such a thing?"
Chapter 115
Lin Rong sat there with his mind racing. He didn't know how long it took before he came back to his senses. Shen Yan and Gong E knelt on the ground. Jing Qin Ben was serving the little princess outside and heard the sound and whispered: "Master, please calm down. Don't worry." You are so angry that you are so angry. Your Majesty is no longer here, so you have to take care of yourself."
Lin Rong turned around and saw the corpse on the bed with a sullen face. He got up and walked out. He didn't stop until Lu Shenfan was reviewing the memorial. He washed his hands and saw Shen Yan coming out and kneeling three steps away from the desk.
Lin Rong had already regained his composure when the palace maid brought him a kerchief. While wiping his hands, he said: "After you die, you know that everything is empty. Once a person dies, everything is empty and burned. It's nothing. You know this about me. I have been practicing medicine in Jiangzhou for several years, and I have operated on countless people with knives and cut things off from countless people. I don’t care if the corpses are complete or incomplete.”
Shen Yan knelt there and bowed: "I know that the empress is worried that the palace curtains are not careful and the secrets will be revealed, which will delay important events."
Lin Rong sat down, ate his breakfast slowly, rinsed his mouth at the end, then raised his eyes to Shen Yan and said, "You have been awake for four or five days. I know your hard work. It's just this time of year. It’s such a mess, and when a gust of wind blows over, I have to stare carefully, but right under my nose, something like this happened. So, in the distance, where I can’t see, is it possible that I don’t know where the mistake went?”
Shen Yan knelt down and heard the implication: "Your Majesty, I don't dare."
Lin Rong snorted: "I know that these days are difficult for everyone. We all have to make do with it and deal with it comprehensively. That's what we can't do well. You can deal with the others by yourself. I have ordered people to deal with these palace ladies. .”
Without waiting for Shen Yan to speak, he added: "Feng Xiao came in yesterday to attend to her illness. She didn't look well. I told her to rest. You go and take a look at her."
She stood up, walked slowly towards the inner hall, and snorted coldly: "Once he leaves, he won't care about anything but burn him to ashes?" She looked like a woman who was full of mixed emotions because of the sudden death of her husband. A wife who loves and hates.
Shen Yan kowtowed: "Thank you for your grace." After saying that, he bowed and exited the hall.
Lin Rong's pretentiousness made Shen Yan dispel his doubts. He walked along the corridor and did not go to the back hall where Feng Xiao lived. Instead, he went to the rockery with lush flowers and trees. I don’t know how long I walked, but when I turned around slightly, I lost sight of him, and I don’t know where he went.
Lin Rong put aside Shen Yan, then called the two kneeling palace ladies over, still with a stern face: "You have committed a capital crime. Considering that you are young, I can't bear to hurt people's lives and damage His Majesty's blessings. It's just that you are young. , the punishment must still be punished, first give him twenty sticks, and if he doesn't die, he will be sent to the vigil, it all depends on your own destiny."
There is a lot of skill in how to use the cane in the palace. Some people have been given a hundred or eighty canes, but it is just a superficial wound. After a month of treatment, nothing will happen. Some people, even with twenty sticks, can have their liver and gallbladder broken and die on the spot.
The two palace maids were upset when they saw that it was Lin Rong who was dealing with it. Even though they had been ordered to do so, they were really uneasy. Now that they saw Lin Rong giving such instructions, even though their tone was light, they thought that they were bound to be killed with a stick. They were stunned for a moment and shed tears silently. .
Lin Rong stood up, pressed Kingfisher's hand, and ordered: "Ask everyone in the palace to stand in the corridor and watch the two of them being tortured."
Jade Qin was originally worried about these two lives. When she saw Lin Rong pressing her hand, she knew what Lin Rong meant and nodded: "Master, don't worry, there are many slaves."
For a moment, everyone in the palace gathered in the corridor to watch the execution. Lin Rong stood for a while, but couldn't stand it anymore, and waved his hand: "Stop for now, we will fight later."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the inner hall, heading towards the side hall where Lu Shen was. There were still two young palace ladies guarding the hall. When they saw Lin Rong, they all knelt down: "Empress!"
Lin Rong hummed and sat beside the bed, without asking the two of them to get up, and asked, "I asked everyone in the palace to go watch the execution. Why don't you two go?"
The two of them only said: "Commander Lu has given instructions not to leave this place for a moment."
Lin Rong groaned and turned to look at 'Lu Shen' on the bed. This was the first time Lin Rong took a serious look at Lu Shen since his "death". His face had been burned, and his appearance was completely unrecognizable. His clothes had been changed, and he looked unusual. Ocher red dragon pattern uniform.
Lin Rong looked at it silently for a while and said, "He doesn't like red clothes very much. You go outside and get another set and put it on for him."
The two maids responded and quietly walked out of the palace.
After the person walked further away, Lin Rong untied the person's clothes. Although he was already in his last days, the wound on his chest was somewhat rotten, and his true appearance was not visible and could not be distinguished. Only the wound on the shoulder was clearly a knife wound, not an arrow wound from the old years.
She sat there, finally certain that the corpse was not Lu Shen, she almost screamed and trembled with rage. How dare that bitch Lu Shen do such a thing, treating life and death as child's play? I also thought that if I had looked carefully before, I would have known the truth a long time ago. I just didn't dare to look at it, I couldn't bear to look at it, I was deceived by a game full of mistakes.
She almost wanted to stand up immediately, call Shen Yan over and ask, "Where is your master now?"
However, she held it back and stuck her tongue between her teeth, almost causing bleeding. She was extremely angry and whispered in a low voice: "Very good, Lu Shen, since you want to die so much, it doesn't matter whether you can survive or not. You can figure it out yourself."
Not long after, the two palace maids came back with their clothes, and Lin Rong was standing in front of the window, her face calm again, and she calmly ordered: "Put it on for him, and then bring some water in for him to wipe it with."
After saying that, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and slowly walked out of the palace.
Before lunch arrived, the old aunt came into the palace again. She first announced the arrival of the imperial doctor and asked about Lin Rong's pulse. Then she patted her hand and said, "You must take extra care!"
After saying that, he ordered someone to bring in the memorials and accompany Lin Rong to look at them one by one. Most of the ministers had already written the drafts for the memorials, which were pretty much the same.
Somehow, in the past, when Lin Rong looked at these memorials, he felt uncertain and hesitant before giving instructions. But today, he didn't feel this way at all. Or maybe he knew that Lu Shen was still alive, so even if he couldn't do it well, he wouldn't do it right. As for the treacherous political situation in Poland, he lost his life.
She dared to write, and approved several books in a row, feeling more calm. The old aunt smiled and nodded at her, saying: "You should be like this. The things in this report are important national affairs, but they are just family affairs of our Lu family. Deal with these matters. , just write it down, even if you make a few mistakes, it doesn’t matter.”
Taking the country as home, although Lin Rong did not agree with this concept, he only nodded: "Thank you for your teaching."
Finally, he ordered grandma to bring Ah Zhao and accompany her to have dinner with her. Just as the three of them were putting down their chopsticks, Jade Bird came back and said, "Master, Grandma Yu from Cikang Palace is here."
Aunt Yu is an old acquaintance. She was originally someone close to the old lady. After the old lady left, she worked as an errand in the Queen Mother's Palace. After hearing this, Lin Rong immediately announced her to come in. She was older and still very tough. She greeted Lin Rong and the old aunt with a smile, and then explained her purpose: "Tomorrow is the birthday of Concubine Guo Gui, which happens to be the birthday of a person. Your Majesty also said in April that there had been no happy events in the palace for a long time, so it would be better to hold a good one. But the Queen Mother thought that her Majesty was ill after all, so she just ordered her close concubines to enter the palace to make it fun."
Lin Rong hesitated, but the old aunt sighed: "Hey, she is already sixty years old, and there are not many old people left. I would like to go and praise her." Then she turned to Lin Rong and said: "The emperor and these I've been sick all day long, and you've suffered a lot from serving me personally. If you don't have enough energy, just don't go. My family is not that particular."
Lin Rong wanted to refuse, but the words turned around again: "Auntie, it's okay. Since I returned to the palace, I haven't paid a visit to any of the elders, so it's rude."
The old aunt nodded: "Okay, I'll see you sooner or later." When she asked about the fire in the lamp, her dim eyes immediately sharpened, and she ordered Shen Yan to reply, and finally pondered for a while, this Only then did he point out: "When doing things, you need to be tight on the inside and loose on the outside. Don't be loose on the inside and loose on the outside."
Finally, he sat for a while and teased Ah Zhao. When he saw that the little girl was so sleepy, she nodded, and then ordered someone to drive him out of the palace.
Lin Rong sent her great-aunt to the gate of the palace, then turned around, took a bath, and sat quietly in front of the makeup mirror wiping her hair. Suddenly she asked Kingfisher: "Those who die without repentance can only wait for the day when they really die." , how can I be at peace?" When he died, I vaguely felt that it would be better if he was still alive, but knowing that he was fine and still alive, I wished he could die?
But, do you want him to die or live?
Kingfisher groaned in confusion, not knowing what Lin Rong was talking about.
Lin Rong shook his head, stood up weakly, and walked into the inner hall. Ah Zhao slept for a while and was lying on the bed with a bright yellow bandage wrapped around his hand. Seeing Lin Rong coming, he hurriedly turned over and sat up: "Mother?"
