Wen Awen.
The prime minister of Beiyue said: "Da Han is an auspicious day for a new emperor to ascend the throne. ”
At the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, the fine snow was stained on Zhao Yunchuan's dragon robe, and he followed the thin figure of the new emperor step by step to the high platform.
Lin Ning was mixed in the palace maids, peeking at the ** who were kneeling down.
Just when she was about to doze off when she was tired of the trivial etiquette, the little emperor's words exploded above her head like thunder.
The first thing Zhao Yunchuan did when he ascended the throne was not to build border defenses, nor to clean up the traitorous party, but to make her a concubine!
The stinky boy must have been the emperor and fainted with joy....I think of him as a son, and he wants to marry me!”
Lin Ning scratched his head, dumbfounded.
The ministers whispered, disdainful of the emperor's year-old love.
Don't make trouble with the emperor, the palace maid Lin Ning Leng Gong has merit in taking care of the emperor, and she can also accompany His Majesty every day. ”
Prime Minister Liu An's warm voice was a little undeniable.
After the little emperor awkwardly responded, this farce finally ended.
Lin Ning was ordered to go back to the cold palace to pack up the cage and look at the red plum and snow, a little dark incense, a little distracted.
It's okay now, the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't become it, but she almost became the emperor's concubine.
At this time, the woman in the bronze mirror was a little sad, and a beautiful mole in the corner of her eye added a piece of romance.
Lin Ning is twenty-five years old this year, she is an old girl, the little emperor is fifteen years old, and she is a hairy boy, and these two people who are not compatible have been together in the cold palace for nearly ten years.
In the thick and cold palace walls, the flowers and plants surrounded are more delicate than the outside, and one of them died inadvertently.
She also wanted to leave this dreary palace, so that she would have little chance to meet the person who had made her heart flutter.
When Liu An went down, he was bumped into his arms by a small eunuch, and then he squinted his eyes and looked at the rolling clouds in the distance.
The sky was a little darker, and Liu An carried the food box into the cold palace.
Lin Ning drew his eyebrows and eyes early, the rice wine in his hand was warm and warm, and the red plum in the vase was dipped in cold frost.
Sweet and sour fish, your favorite. ”
Liu An patiently picked out the fishbones, as if no matter how small things were, they would not make him bored and gaffe.
Lin Ning squirmed into the fish, not daring to look at Liu An's curved eyes at all.
The two of them had a happy meal, and Lin Ning's red face complemented the red plum on the side.
The stones are like jade, and the pines are like emeralds. Lang Yan is unique, and there is no other in the world. Actually, my lord...”
Before he could finish speaking, a cold finger had covered his warm lips.
Liu An pinched Lin Ning's chin, it was difficult not to be tempted by such a face.
He gently stroked Lin Ning's long hair and whispered, "Someone needs you more than me." ”
Lin Ning fell drunk in the house, and Liu An disappeared into the snowy night.
Only Zhao Yunchuan was stamping back and forth in the imperial study, unable to sleep.
On closer inspection, there was a trembling little eunuch at the door of the imperial study with him.
Lin Ning moved to Chashang to live Xi not very customary.
Just getting up in the morning to read with her is a headache, and if she can do it all over again, she will definitely not do this Rausch son's female history.
Why are you stunned, my history of the forest girl!Zhao Yunchuan threw a violent bullet on Lin Ning's head.
Lin Ning was in pain, rolled his eyes, and secretly scolded in his heart that this job was really impossible to do.
Now, I am the Son of Heaven, what do you say Cao Gonggong and his gang should do with me?”
Lin Ning was speechless for a while, and raised his head to meet Zhao Yunchuan's playful eyes.
She clearly knows: without the suffering of others, do not persuade others to be kind. This is by no means the time to be a "living bodhisattva".
In the first year of Shuntian, the eunuch Cao was autocratic, and the emperor was evil, and he was given Ling Chi. Lin Ning wrote briefly on the living note.
But killing a Cao family is only the beginning, and none of those who have bullied Zhao Yunchuan have escaped.
It is said that when Cao and his party were arrested, they were terrified and knew that their sins were unforgivable, and most of them committed suicide in prison.
It is rumored inside and outside the palace that the new emperor is a tyrant, the kind who kills people without blinking.
Only Lin Ning knows how they have survived the past ten years.
In the early years, Zhao Yunchuan's mother accidentally offended the first emperor under the favor of his mother, and was demoted to the palace with a big belly.
Poor Zhao Yunchuan was born in the cold palace, and his mother died of illness at the age of six.
After the collapse of the first emperor, several princes competed for the throne, the dead died, the sick sick, and the emperor withered.
It wasn't until Prime Minister Liu An mentioned Zhao Yunchuan in the cold palace that this unlucky prince was able to turn over.
Lin Ning will never forget what he looked like when he first met Zhao Yunchuan.
He was only five years old when he had just lost his mother, and he was bullied by the eunuchs in the cold palace, and he stumbled and fell into the mud, unable to get up.
Desperately protecting under the frail little body is a portrait of a woman.
At that time, Lin Ning didn't know where he got the courage, so he picked up Zhao Yunchuan and ran away.
This palace maid who came suddenly later became a little firefly in Zhao Yunchuan's long night.
Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and the atmosphere in the palace is not as tense as it was a while ago.
After picking up a good weather, Lin Ning and the palace people kicked the juju in the courtyard, and she silently felt sorry for the silver after losing a few handfuls in a row.
The palace people coaxed that the cold palace was haunted recently, and if the aunt was not afraid, she might as well stay for one night, and the money she lost would be stopped.
Lin Ning agreed, how could she not even see a ghost shadow after living in the cold palace for ten years.
Until the dark clouds covered the moon at night, Lin Ning carried the lantern and walked slowly on the familiar path.
The shadows of the trees in the distance are swaying, and they are really a little similar to the human figures.
Lin Ning walked to a carved door and stopped, it was the former residence of the Cao family.
When the Cao family gained power, Lin Ning didn't understand why he was bullied by a down-and-out prince, who would have expected that time would change and the world would change.
The door was pushed open with a "squeak", the cobwebs were knotted, and the place was in disarray, and the palace people were lazy to clean up when they saw the wind.
Lin Ning picked up a white jade wrench under the overturned screen.
This is Liu An, the prime minister of the dynasty, and she saw it a few years ago.
She has always paid special attention to everything about Liu An, and for her, he is also a teacher and a friend, but also a life-saving benefactor.
Back then, it was Liu An who rescued the girl who was infected with a vicious disease outside the porridge shed, and after being taken care of by the good students in the house, she was recommended to the palace, and the orphan girl Lin Ning had a trace of stability.
The folk customs of Beiyue, the man's wrench fingers do not easily leave his body, especially **.
Lin Ning, who was touching the white jade wrench, was a little mixed at the moment.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there was almost chaos in the palace.
The big scene of the banquet and drinking in the palace, but the emperor is gone.
Lin Ning reluctantly put down the jade and prepared to go to the cold palace alone to try his luck.
Sure enough, a bright yellow gradually emerged from the shadows of the trees, but the posture was slightly weird.
Zhao Yunchuan was frantically stuffing rice paper into his mouth.
Looking at Zhao Yunchuan's expression of enjoyment, Lin Ning was dumbfounded.
Lin Ning suddenly remembered what the old man in the palace had said, any emperor who had waded through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood or survived humiliation and torture did not have any quirks.
After a while, she dusted off the leaves on Zhao Yunchuan's body and asked in a dumb voice, "What's wrong with you?"”
Say!How long have you been like this. ”
Zhao Yunchuan was shocked by Lin Ning's abruptly raised voice.
Move, move out of the cold palace, ascend to the throne, and it's just that. He stammered a little in a panic, he had never seen Lin Ning lose such a temper in ten years.
For a long time, there was a whimper from a corner of the cold palace.
On the main hall, Zhao Yunchuan, who was brought back by Lin Ning, was stupid and bored.
At this time, there were delicacies on the table, and Lin Ning had no appetite.
During the banquet, Liu An in the distance was patiently picking out the fishbones for his wife.
Lin Ning glanced at the same sweet and sour fish on the table, and retched uncontrollably.
After that night, Lin Ning went to an old friend in the palace to catch up with the old days, but unexpectedly contracted a cold and did not recover for a long time.
During the days she spent on the sickbed, she always had a similar dream.
In the dream, she and Zhao Yunchuan were still in the cold palace, and the winter of that year was particularly cold, several princes seized power, and the Cao family became more and more unscrupulous.
Zhao Yunchuan in the cold palace has been fond of painting since he was a child, and sometimes he secretly paints portraits in the house when he thinks about his mother.
On that day, the Cao family took advantage of Lin Ning's absence to break into the house and wantonly tore up and trampled on Zhao Yunchuan's private collection.
When Lin Ning came back, he only saw the child swallowing the last portrait of his mother and concubine into his stomach.
He hugged Lin Ning and shouted like crazy: "I won't paint anymore, I won't paint again!".”
dreamed one after another, and finally dreamed of Liu An's wrench.
Lin Ning woke up suddenly, and looked down to see Zhao Yunchuan sleeping on the side of the bed, his eyes were dark.
Around the Lantern Festival, when Lin Ning's illness improved, Zhao Yunchuan issued a secret order.
He was ready to follow the old system and go down to the south of the Yangtze River.
This matter can be big or small, if there are unscrupulous people who want to take the opportunity to rebel, it will change color and the country will change hands.
Lin Ning's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to ask to accompany him.
She selfishly thought that if she found a master among the people, maybe there would be a glimmer of hope for the little emperor's eccentricity.
Recently, the number of summons of Liu An by the little emperor has increased, and it is very likely that Liu An will be imprisoned in Kyoto.
The day before leaving, Lin Ning was distraught and forced himself to read medical books in the small courtyard.
Zhao Yunchuan approached her, and she didn't notice it.
I didn't know that you still like medical books. Zhao Yunchuan smiled and took the book from Lin Ning's hand.
Hmph, give me back. ”
Lin Ning stretched out his hand to grab it, but Zhao Yunchuan was no longer the child of the year, and he was taller than her.
In this snatch, the wrench that Lin Ning hid in his sleeve fell on the stone table with a "clanging bell".
Lin Ning coughed a few times with a weak heart.
Zhao Yunchuan squeezed his eyebrows and praised him, "What a fine carver, you have hidden a lot of good things behind my back!."”
Lin Ning put it into his sleeve in a panic, hesitated for a moment and took it out again.
Between "godson" and "old lover", she still can't watch Zhao Yunchuan suffer.
Your Majesty, the minister has something to do, about Prime Minister Liu An....Lin Ning knelt respectfully in front of the little emperor.
Zhao Yunchuan's eyes became deep, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The trip to Jiangnan is nothing but a conspiracy.
This is not the other, what you see is not the snow and the moon but the sword and sword.
It turned out that Zhao Yunchuan secretly mobilized troops and horses, ostensibly letting Prime Minister Liu An supervise the country, but in fact, he let his henchman General Feng ambush outside the city to guard against changes.
What awaits Liu An will be the exam questions that the emperor has already prepared.
Zhao Yunchuan explained all this to Lin Ninghe, while admiring her gradually stunned expression.
Lin Ning was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
Ten days later, she boarded the ship "south" with the emperor.
Dressed in civilian clothes, they temporarily lived in General Feng's villa on the outskirts of Beijing, and in order to keep it secret, they only kept their personal attendants.
Lin Ning sat on the stone steps in the backyard in a daze, remembering the news he got from an old friend a while ago - on the eve of the suicide of the Cao family and the rebellious party, Liu An had gone to visit.
She really didn't dare to think that Liu An, who supported Zhao Yunchuan to ascend to the top, was actually the one who hooked up with the Cao family and pushed Zhao Yunchuan into the abyss.
Hey!Zhao Yunchuan patted Lin Ning's shoulder from behind, which frightened Lin Ning.
How old a person is, and still playing children's tricks. ”
Lin Ning picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Lin Ning, didn't you notice?”
What did you find?”
Since I ascended the throne, you have laughed less and less. ”
Lin Ning, who had been bored for a few days, decided that he couldn't live so decadently anymore.
She began to search for folk miracle doctors, after all, Zhao Yunchuan's strange illness could not be delayed any longer.
Zhao Yunchuan stuck to her with a dead face, and was called "Flower Messenger".
While the two were talking, laughing, and fighting, an old doctor attracted Lin Ning's attention.
Zhao Yunchuan was keenly aware of Lin Ning's strangeness and walked straight over.
What you wrote on this curtain is a cure for strange diseases, but is it true?”
The old man narrowed his eyes and wrote down a prescription on a piece of paper.
Childe's hidden disease, the old man already knows, and he also gave Childe a sentence "The old man twists his beard."
Zhao Yunchuan showed a look of surprise and asked, "Please speak."
Heart disease also needs heart medicine, and the bell must be tied to the bell. ”
Lin Ning came over, picked up the prescription, and was about to untie the purse when he was interrupted by the old man.
If I have a relationship with the girl, I won't accept the medical fee. ”
After speaking, he packed up his pen and paper, removed the curtain and left.
It's a strange old man, but it's really familiar. ”
Lin Ning picked up Zhao Yunchuan, who was stunned in place, and rushed to the pharmacy as if running.
After pouring a few pairs of medicinal soup, Zhao Yunchuan really didn't want to eat the weird "delicious".
Looking at the vigorous Zhao Yunchuan, Lin Ning was quite relieved to be a "mother".
Since the medicine of the mysterious doctor has worked, Lin Ning has become very interested in medical books, and he always reads them when he has nothing to do.
Although the winter is coming to an end, there is some spring cold, Lin Ning happily boiled a lot of medicine to prevent wind and cold, and forced the people in the house to drink it.
Zhao Yunchuan was really scared, often avoiding her and often peeking at her.
In just a few days, he found that Lin Ning had changed, he used to like her, he liked her gentleness and charm, but now she is more calm and chic.
The glimmer that began to flicker in her eyes was something that had long disappeared from Zhao Yunchuan's life.
What's more, she was so busy that she even forgot about Liu An.
The sunset melts gold, and the twilight clouds merge. Lin Ning was trying her new prescription in the small kitchen, and Zhao Yunchuan was carefully correcting it in the courtyard.
Suddenly, an eager escort flew into the house like an arrow from a string.
Their worst fears have happened – there is a rebellion in Kyoto.
Zhao Yunchuan led the group to ride back to the palace, all the way in a hurry, Lin Ning's waist twisted, she endured the pain and still did not slow down.
Degree. Ning'er, are you afraid" Zhao Yunchuan's voice was blurred because of the gallop.
After not responding for a long time, he glanced back at Lin Ning behind him.
A pair of eyes frowned on Chunshan, and a red dress fluttered in the wind.
The whole palace was quiet with a hint of weirdness.
When Zhao Yunchuan and his party rushed to the gate of the palace, the road had been washed with water by the palace people, leaving only a faint trace of blood at the root of the wall.
There is no chaotic scene of General Feng fighting Liu An, there are just closed palaces.
When the door of the Qinzheng Hall was pushed open by Zhao Yunchuan, Lin Ning held the trembling hands.
The eyes are full of crimson, and the smell is disgusting.
Liu An sat paralyzed in the hall, his face covered in blood, and he carried General Feng's head in his hands.
Oh, Your Majesty is back. ”
Liu An knelt hard, and there was a mad smile in the blood.
General Feng and others rebelled, and Weichen has exterminated them all and welcomed His Majesty back to the palace. ”
A chill rushed from the soles of Zhao Yunchuan's feet into his internal organs.
Don't pretend, I won't be your puppet emperor anymore. ”
Liu An sighed and said with a wry smile: "Weichen was ordered by the first emperor to be in charge of the secret forbidden army and assist you in ascending the throne at the right time, how could it harm you?"”
He paused and said, "As for Feng Wei, Wechen already has the evidence of his rebellion, so why do you trust this person too much, so Wechen has no choice but to make this decision." ”
Zhao Yunchuan took out the wrench from his arms and threw it at him, his Adam's apple rolled, and he roared: "What about the ten years that the Cao family has bullied me and Ning'er, and it is also for my good?!."”
Liu An laughed wildly, "One will make ten thousand bones dry, besides, didn't I pick a wonderful person for you and cure your hidden disease." ”
Lin Ning was stunned, she remembered that the old doctor was the doctor who treated her in the Prime Minister's Mansion back then.
Lin Ning burst into tears, and she realized that she had never really understood Liu An, and she had never really been at peace.
Liu An suddenly pulled out his sword and cut it to his neck without hesitation.
In a pool of blood, Liu An opened his mouth wide and beckoned vigorously.
Zhao Yunchuan was afraid of missing the last words, so he walked to his side in a few steps.
Zhao Yunchuan pressed against Liu An's lips and heard the last words he said clearly.
The ministers are chaotic and eradicate the roots, I will place the Liu Mansion for you, you can rest assured, rest assured...”
This year's imperial examinations were held a few months earlier than in previous years.
It is rumored inside and outside the palace that the new emperor is becoming more and more diligent and becoming more and more like an "emperor".
Zhao Yunchuan only slept for three or four hours a month, and Lin Ning stood aside to study ink and wait.
There were two less important ministers in the court at once, and the shackles of the past dissipated like smoke.
Who would have thought that Liu An, who was modest and polite in front of people, would slaughter more than a dozen members of his family before committing suicide.
Who would have thought that the prince in the cold palace was the successor of the first emperor at all.
Zhao Yunchuan and Lin Ning are just two chess pieces in the chessboard.
Spring is late, and a hundred trees are new.
Today, Zhao Yunchuan changed into his regular clothes, and specially asked the palace people to invite Lin Ning to the cold palace for a while.
Looking at the woman with the same face in the distance, Zhao Yunchuan showed the brightest smile in months.
You see, the cold palace is still the same. Zhao Yunchuan looked around.
Yes, the plum trees are still there, the leaky house is still there, and the thick hemp rope by the well is still there. ”
Lin Ning and Zhao Yunchuan approached the place where they first met one after another.
You weren't as big as my waist back then, back then...”
Lin Ning's words were interrupted by Zhao Yunchuan.
Let's get out of the palace. I know you love to study medicine, and I know that you are not really happy at the palace. ”
Zhao Yunchuan turned to face Lin Ning, and when the four eyes met, the two of them looked at each other.
Ten years in the cold palace, at the end of the wind and smoke, they are still the first time they met.
Lin Ning knelt on the ground and made the most complicated salute.
Thanks, Emperor Long. ”
One night years later.
Zhao Yunchuan in the imperial study gently took out a piece of rice paper from the dark compartment.
The woman on the paper has a beautiful mole in the corner of her eye, and she is rolling up her sleeves and boiling medicine with all her heart.
The eunuch on the side muttered in a low voice: "You like your aunt so much, why didn't you keep her back then." ”
After a long time, the corners of the emperor's mouth moved.
Because she was drenched in the rain, she wanted to hold an umbrella for her. ”
