Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky Chapter 15: 、The sound of horns is full of autumn chill 1
On the 10th day of the seventh month, Xiangyi and the attendants from Qianbishan Bieyuan returned to the capital.
At three o'clock in Haishi, the urgent report sent by the spark order was sent to the imperial capital.
After receiving it, Shen Li, the head of the inner court, heard that it was sent from Qingzhou, and it was delivered by the fastest spark order.
That night Dongshi stayed in Cuiyue Palace, was awakened from sleep, left the bedroom, saw Shen Li kneeling in the front hall in panic, he couldn't help frowning: "Why are you so anxious?"
"The Prime Minister of Qingzhou sent the memorandum with the Xinghuo Order." Shen Li presented it with both hands.
When Dong Shixiu heard this, he quickly reached out to take the memorandum, opened it and glanced at it, and when he saw "Hundreds of assassins in Sanshi Village attacked, King Qing was injured and disappeared", he suddenly felt a sharp pain, and his eyes turned dizzy, The body swayed.
"Your Majesty!" The surrounding servants hurried forward.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Bei Xuanji ran out and grabbed him.
Dong Shixiu stabilized his figure, closed the notebook, turned his head to Bei Xuanji and said, "It's nothing, my concubine will go back to rest."
Bei Xuanji put the outer robe in her hand on him, "It's cold at night, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body."
Dong Shixiu just nodded, Wuxia didn't pay any attention to it, after Bei Xuanji put on his robe, he turned and went back to the bedroom.
After she left, Dong Shixiu asked Shen Li, "When did you send it?"
"A moment ago." Shen Li replied.
Dong Shixiu immediately stepped out of Cuiyue Palace, and Shen Li hurriedly followed.
Back to Qilong Palace, Dong Shixiu has cleared his mind along the way, and immediately announced the decree: "Order King Yong to lead the army to rescue Qingzhou quickly! Go, send it with a spark order!"
"Yes!" Shen Li took the order and hurriedly turned around.
In the Dragon Palace, Dong Shixiu walked back and forth in the palace like a wandering beast with his hands behind his back. After a long while, he suddenly called out: "Come here! Go and call Long Tu!"
"Yes." The servant standing guard at the door hastily left.
After a while, Long Tu from Su Zhi hurried over.
Dong Shixiu handed him the playbook in his hand.
Long Tu saw it, and was taken aback. He raised his head and looked at Dong Shixiu with some worry in his eyes.
"You go and choose a hundred guards to go to Qingzhou with you." Dong Shixiu pressed his brows, suppressing his anxiety and worry, "I don't worry about Seventh Sister. When you arrive in Qingzhou, you will go to Qingzhou yourself. To get her back."
"Yes!" Long Tu naturally knew the importance of this will.
That night, Dong Shixiu stayed in the Qilong Palace anxious and sleepless, and went directly to court at the fifth watch.
After the early court, he went to Cuiyue Palace in a depressed mood as usual.
Since the two families of Liang and Feng were copied and killed, and the three families of Xie, Wang, and Chen were sent to the three states of Ji, Fujian, and Yong, the concubines in the palace were a little panicked, and they were more cautious when facing the emperor for fear of making mistakes. . Dong Shixiu hated those cowering faces, so he avoided going to their palace, and there were only two concubines Feng and Bei who still had normal postures in the palace. It's just that since the eldest emperor's son also left in the Concubine Feng's Palace, two boys and one girl were too noisy, so the Cuiyue Palace is the Concubine's Palace that he visits most often.
After so many years, because of his favor for Beifei, there are many people in the palace who are jealous and jealous, but Beifei doesn't pay attention to it, and she has never been proud of being favored, and she is not particularly close to other concubines or concubines in the palace. To make friends with foreign ministers, and to live their lives peacefully in Cuiyue Palace, as she said that day, he is the only family member, and he is the only family member.
He likes to stay in Cuiyue Palace, where there are no officials admonishing, no political troubles here, no shrinking or flattery here, where he can drink a cup of tea quietly, play a game of chess with the concubine Bei, and have a light meal. Or Beifei's occasional pettiness made him feel at ease.
The emperor is rich in the world, but the emperor is a man without a family. He once had a family, but at the moment when he ascended the throne, when his younger siblings moved out of the palace, after his younger siblings went away, He no longer has a home. For those who do not have a home, it is good to have a nest where they can rest in peace for a while.
As soon as he stepped through the gate of the palace, Bei Xuanji came forward to meet him. Seeing that his complexion was not very good, and his eyes were black and blue, he couldn't help worrying: "Your Majesty is sick?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night." Dong Shixiu raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, but he smelled musk from the end of his nose, and couldn't help saying, "I'm sick again? Call the imperial doctor Have you come to see it?"
"This is an old problem for my concubine, there is no need to call the imperial doctor, just take a dose of the musk decoction and it will be fine." Bei Xuanji shook her head and said.
Since the concubine Bei entered the palace, she often suffers from chest tightness and pain. After seeing it, the imperial doctor said it was angina pectoris, and prescribed a prescription, one of which was musk.
"Oh, it's fine if nothing happens." Seeing that she didn't seem to be suffering from illness, Dong Shixiu let go, sat down on the couch, and fell down to rest with his eyes closed.
Seeing this, Bei Xuanji sat down leaning on the couch, and stretched out her hands to massage his head. Under the delicate fingertips, the strength was just right. Dong Shixiu gradually relaxed his nerves, and felt that his head was no longer so heavy. After a while Then he fell asleep in a daze.
When he woke up, he realized that the sun had slanted, and it was almost Shen time.
"Your Majesty is awake." Bei Xuanji held a cup of warm tea and handed it over, "Drink some water to refresh yourself."
"Did I sleep for so long?" Dong Shixiu took a sip from the teacup and put it down, "Why didn't my concubine wake me up?"
"Your Majesty is usually busy with government affairs, and can't sleep for two hours a day. If things go on like this, the body will not be able to bear it." Bei Xuanji raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a silk handkerchief. Your Majesty can sleep longer, preferably for a few days and nights, and wake up when you are full."
"Haha..." Dong Shixiu couldn't help laughing, put down his teacup, and pulled her to sit side by side with her. Chendian has gone to approve the papers."
Bei Xuanji raised her brows, squinted her almond eyes, and said, "Fengfei is loyal to the country and the people, but I only have Your Majesty in my heart. As long as Your Majesty is well, I have nothing to do with the world."
Dong Shixiu looked at the cold sneer in her eyebrows, and listened to her willful words, he couldn't help but fix his eyes and his heart moved slightly, and then sighed softly: "My concubine cares about me so much. Feelings."
Bei Xuanji raised her hand to gently caress his tough face, her almond eyes were confused for a moment, and then she murmured: "In this world, concubines only care about His Majesty, because His Majesty is the only reason for concubines to live."
After hearing this, Dong Shixiu smelled the faint musk scent of her body, sighed deeply from the bottom of his heart, stretched out his arms to embrace her, and did not speak.
Bei Xuanji leaned her head on his shoulder, and the two of them depended on each other quietly, letting the setting sun outside the window slowly fall.
After a long time, Bei Xuanji said softly: "Your Majesty, this concubine would like to invite you to leave the palace and go to Huamen Temple."
"Huh?" Dong Shixiu looked down at her.
"The Sixth Prince was ill for a long time last time. Concubine Chen went to Huamen Temple to pray to the Bodhisattva, and she recovered after drinking two doses of medicine. It can be seen that the Bodhisattva there is very effective. Recently, Your Majesty often suffers from dizziness. My concubine still committed a disease after taking so many medicines, and my concubine also wants to go to Huamen Temple to burn incense, and I want to ask the Bodhisattva to bless His Majesty, so that His Majesty will be well soon, and I also ask Bodhisattva to bless my concubine so that I can accompany Your Majesty until I grow old." Bei Xuanji looked up. Zhuodong began to practice judo, "Besides, since my concubine entered Dadong, I have never been out of the palace. I want to take a look at the imperial capital and the people under His Majesty's rule."
"Oh?" Dong Shixiu pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Then my concubine, let's go."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bei Xuanji stood up and saluted.
Dong Shixiu helped her up, "My concubine is begging the Bodhisattva for me, so I should thank you." After finishing speaking, thinking of Feng Duying who was injured and missing now, his heart moved, and he looked at Bei Xuanji, but In the end, he swallowed the words that came to his lips, "Talk to Shen Li later, let him prepare for leaving the palace, and tell him my will."
"Yes." Bei Xuanji nodded happily.
The next day, Bei Xuanji went out of the palace and was driving on the long street. The guards had already cleared the street, but the people heard that this empress was the beautiful princess brought back by His Majesty from the Beihai Kingdom, and they were all very curious. Even though they were separated by several zhang, they stretched their necks one by one, wanting to see the elegant demeanor of the imperial concubine.
Through the dense bead curtains, Bei Xuanji can vaguely see the orderly market, the tall buildings and shops on both sides, and the common people with different clothes. Since he entered the palace with his driver, several years have passed, and at some point, his original single-minded thoughts, like the bead curtain in front of him, become hazy and can no longer be seen clearly.
She is the princess of Beihai Kingdom, but now she is the concubine of Emperor Dadong.
She is alive, but her father and twelfth younger brother have sunk to the bottom of the sea, and Beihai has no hope of returning to the country.
Emperor Dadong is her enemy, he can be tender for several years, cuddling with each other day and night...
In the swaying chariot, she closed her eyes, the road ahead was dizzy, and it was difficult to find the direction. She asked the gods, would the gods answer?
When the car drove past the Baimen Building, a man was probably pushed by the people behind him, and he stumbled into the street involuntarily. Seeing this, the guard hurried forward and shouted. The man was dressed like a farmer. He thought he had just entered the imperial city and had never seen the world. When he was pushed by the guards and walked towards the street, he kept talking, but he seemed to be stunned, and his tongue was so bad that no one could hear him clearly. What did he say.
After driving away the man, the car continued to drive forward. Bei Xuanji in the car quietly raised a beaded curtain, and glanced at the farmer on the street. Tears.
"Princess, the Lord and Your Highness are well!"
The words that no one heard clearly just now, Bei Xuanji understood the moment she heard them. That is Beihai dialect, so...they are not dead! It turns out that both the father and the twelfth brother are still alive! After waiting for so long, it finally came...they are still alive!
In an instant, sadness and joy mixed in her heart, but Bei Xuanji tightly covered her mouth with her hands, for fear of accidentally revealing it.
As long as they are still there, she has the hope and meaning of living.
At that moment, one person looked away at a teahouse on the street by the window, and silently listened to the people in the teahouse talking about the life experience and origin of this empress.
