Listening to Jing Yi's calm and steady breathing, I gently turned my head to look at him. I couldn't help but wonder if he was as calm as the other women when he slept next to them. I wondered how those women would feel when they looked at him like this.
I didn't know why Jing Yi would let me be one of them. I could think of many possibilities, but I didn't want to confirm any of them.
As I thought about it, the smile on my lips gradually disappeared. Not only because of those imaginable scenes, but also because of the dull pain in my body, I realized that the condition of this day and night had completely aggravated the internal injuries from ten days ago. It was not even midnight yet. I was afraid that I would not be able to last until Jing Yi left at dawn.
I was really tired, but I could not fall asleep at all. I did not dare to move easily either. Finally, when I was having spasms even when I inhaled, I slowly propped myself up and sat up. My acupuncture points had not reached the point of self-release yet. I could not cough out the blocked blood and could not suppress it. I bent over and endured it for a while before deciding to get the medicine that Shen Lin brought back for me.
Before she could get up, Jing Yi grabbed her wrist and said in a low and lazy voice,""What are you going to do?"
I was shocked and turned my head.”
He moved his body, but his hand refused to let go. He said vaguely,"It's good that you know."
I gently pulled it, but I couldn't pull it out, so I slid my body off the bed and half-knelt beside his pillow."The emperor should rest. ChenQie will be back soon.”
I had imagined that Jing Yi would be so muddle-headed that she probably wouldn't remember that I was beside her. Most of the concubines in the harem weren't qualified to sleep with her all night, so it was common for them to leave in the middle of the night. However, he didn't even open his eyes when he extinguished my hopes with a single sentence."Everyone in the harem is looking forward to accompanying Jun Tianming. Only the Empress has the right to do so. Why do you want to leave?”
I bit my lip and didn't say anything. After a long time, I finally said in a low voice,"Can you help me unlock my acupoints?”
There was only a small candlelight in the room, which was not bright. I saw him open his eyes and look at me. Perhaps it was intentional, or perhaps it was a coincidence. At this moment, his gaze was gentle."You can't suppress it anymore. If you release it now, your internal strength will backfire. Wouldn't your injuries be even worse?”
I was stunned. After a while, I said,"You…knew?"”
Jing Yi sat up and looked at me."" Shen Lin came to the palace in the evening and said some unpleasant words for no reason. I guessed that something must have happened to you. I was close to you the whole night. If I still couldn't tell, I wouldn't be able to be the emperor."”
I blinked. I didn't understand why Shen Lin would look for Jing Yi." How did Shen Lin-"
" We're from the same sect, so he knows what kind of damage we can cause." Jing Yi shook her head and reached out to me." Come here."”
I leaned over in a daze. I recalled Shen Lin's silence when he diagnosed my injury in the afternoon. I thought about how I tried so hard to hide it from him that night. I suddenly felt wronged."You know, but you still treat me like this on purpose. You must ask me to beg for mercy myself before you're satisfied, right?”
" So I'm such a sinister and evil person in your eyes." He looked at me from the corner of his eyes, his brows unrelaxed." Your breath is in such a mess. Are you planning to heal yourself by force without sealing your acupoints?”
" You've cultivated a lot of Internal Strength." Jing Yi sighed." How can you ignore such a pure injury?" Why do you want me to lower my guard, but you are not willing to be honest with me? I have no intention of hurting you, but you use your body to compete with me.”
"The medicine that Shen Lin gave you should not be used when it acts up. Otherwise, it will only treat the symptoms and cause the problem. You should know that. But if I didn't come to see you tonight, you wouldn't have cared so much, right?”
Knowing that what he said was true, I opened my eyes and didn't say anything.
He placed his hand on my back and used his warm internal strength to help me suppress the blood and qi in my heart. After I felt better, he said leisurely,"You're the Empress, after all. If anything happens to you in the Palace, how do you want Zhen to explain to the country and the world?”
Listening to his dignified words, I cooperated and replied,"Thank you for your concern, Emperor."
"Are you trying to say that you will remember the lesson the Emperor gave you?"”
I was stunned and turned to look at him. I didn't expect him to remember this sentence from half a year ago so clearly.
At this moment, I was half-leaning in his arms. Listening to him talk about the past in such an ambiguous and warm position was always a little strange. He didn't look at me and only lowered his head to ask,"Are the injuries on your hands healed?"
" When Shen Lin asked me that, I told him that it was fine. There wasn't even a scar." I stretched out my right hand and moved it." But if you ask me, I will tell you that it only looks better. In fact, when it's cloudy and rainy, it still hurts so much that I can't even hold the sword."”
" This difference in interpretation," he raised his eyebrows and looked at me." Is it to make me feel guilty?”
"Will you?" " Of course not. I just want to tell you why I have a problem with Consort Hui."”
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly.”
I looked at him." I don't think I can be so naive as to think that you haven't seen through it. Although the witchcraft incident has nothing to do with me, I was the one who started it."”
" Yes." He paused and said," She was involved in what happened?”
" I always thought that she was the one who broke into the Hall of Zheng Yuan, but I realized that she wasn't. Since the person who did it said that she was instigated by someone else, it was obvious that she was trying to frame me. After all, how many people knew the details of Consort Ping's visit and meeting me that day?" I spread my hands." I think she must have something to do with it. She happened to be the Imperial Consort's subordinate. You helped them to make me powerless, so I naturally had to find cannon fodder to vent my anger on.”
"Well done, simple and effective."”
Being praised by him, I was a little flattered and mumbled,"That Consort Ping, she was wrongly accused. Do you want me to do something to get her back?”
He didn't say anything for a moment. Instead, he suddenly exerted force on the hand that was pressing against my back. The pain made me bend over and vomit a large mouthful of blood. I randomly grabbed a piece of clothing to catch it. Fortunately, it didn't get on the two of them. After coughing twice, I felt that my blood vessels were unobstructed. He supported me and immediately helped me unlock my acupoints.
At this moment, he continued the topic from before."That's a stupid one. Even if we bring him back, he won't be of any use. Sooner or later, he won't even be able to keep his life.”
"Oh." I heard some implied meanings from his words, but I couldn't understand it for a moment. I knew that it was already very rare for him to be willing to talk to me, so I didn't ask any more questions.
"Why don't you say something that we've been together for a few years?"”
Exhaustion hit me and I couldn't muster up my energy. I chuckled."Those words were said by the empress. If the emperor wants to hear it, ChenQie can still reluctantly do it.”
He looked at me with a smile that made me unable to take my eyes off him. After a while, he asked indifferently,"Are you so sure that I wasn't the one who instructed you?”
" Mm…" My body finally pulled back from the abyss of suffering, and my mind began to become a little absent-minded. I didn't care if he was real or an illusion at this moment. I nestled in his arms and coveted the moment of tenderness. I stretched out my right hand and shook it, muttering," You won't do something worthless. If it was you who instructed me, it wouldn't be this hand."”
After a long silence, he patted my back."Go and sleep for a while. Don't use your internal energy for a month. Shen Lin will send the medicine in.”
I nodded silently. When I was almost asleep, I finally let down my guard and muttered,"You know, today is my birthday. I was very sad, but now I'm very happy.”
Later, I was sure I heard a very low voice: "I know."# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
