In the afternoon, in the empress's royal study on the third floor of the Sacred Central Crypt!
Under the candlelight, Ye Qing was lying on the narrow couch where Wu Zetian was taking her afternoon nap, looking unusually peaceful.
His breathing was weak but steady.
Whoosh!
After Sun Qianyun saw that his breathing had stabilized, she let out a long sigh of relief and pulled out the silver needle that was stuck in the middle of his forehead.
At this moment, the head of the Hall of Governmental Affairs, Shangguan Wan 'er, wiped Sun Qianyun's sweat with a handkerchief.
"Thank you, Lord Shangguan!" Sun Qianyun was terrified.”
Shangguan Wan 'er patted her shoulder and smiled gently.""I should be thanking you."
"Minister Sun, how is General Ye?”
At this moment, Sun Qianyun and Shangguan Wan 'er both looked at the empress.
The empress, who had changed into casual clothes, was sitting by the couch.
Her fair and warm hand gently rested on the back of his strong and cold hand.
She stared intently at Ye Qing's face!
This was the second time in thirteen years that she had looked so closely at this 'uncle'!
The first time they met was thirteen years ago at the royal horse stables.
At that time, she did not know how to differentiate between superior and inferior.
She was only a concubine, yet she dared to look up at him from a close distance and carefully size up the champion general whom the emperor had to give face to and the prime minister had to bow with cupped hands.
The second time they met, she was already the emperor.
In the past ten years, Ye Qing had only been at home for less than three months, and the monarch and his subjects had only seen each other for less than ten days.
Even when they met, they would deliberately avoid each other's eyes and control their distance.
In fact, this was very close to the hearts of the monarch and his subjects, but also very far away.
They had known each other for thirteen years, and this was only the second time they had met at such a close distance.
It was the first time she held his hand.
Looking at Ye Qing like this, she couldn't help but compare him to the him from thirteen years ago.
Two more wrinkles appeared on his forehead!
How many days and nights had it taken to get dark circles under his eyes?
His white hair had increased by more than half!
However, he was still much more handsome than an ordinary sixty-year-old man!
He looked like an uncle in his forties!
However, the traces of time and the vicissitudes of life behind these achievements still made the empress's heart ache.
Sun Qianyun and Shangguan Wan 'er were shocked when they saw all of this. They looked at the fair hands on the back of her hands.
this was the first time
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the old general has exhausted his last bit of strength in order to meet the emperor. I'm afraid that his days are numbered.”
Hah!
The empress took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and closed her eyes.
She pretended to be strong.”
"Ten days!"
"In order to climb up the stairs of the pilgrimage, the old general has already exhausted the last of his energy.”
"I used the acupuncture method passed down in my family to make the old general's breathing more stable, so that he can get out of bed and walk around. He can also eat what he wants to eat.”
Wuuuu!
Sun Qianyun immediately covered her mouth with her jade-like hand and forced herself to calm down.
"You can even drink wine and it won't be unbearable.”
“......”
When the empress heard this, her hands began to tremble.
She understood, but she did not want to face it, but she had to face it.
She said bluntly,"This is to let him eat and drink well, do what he wants, and then prepare for his funeral, right?"”
"That's right!" Sun Qianyun cupped her hands.”
"Of course, if the old general is willing to stay in bed and only eat vegetable porridge, he might be able to live for a month.”
Upon hearing this, the empress nodded heavily.
She understood now!
Right now, she was faced with a difficult multiple-choice question!
Ye Qing could do whatever he wanted, and he would live happily for ten days.
The other was to control Ye Qing and not let this old child mess around. He could live for a month!
"I understand. All of you can leave!"
Sun Qianyun and Shangguan Wan 'er looked at each other, then cupped their hands and bowed.""Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
"Right, what did you see?”
The two of them were about to leave when they heard the empress's cold reprimand.
The two of them instantly understood. One was Sun Simiao's granddaughter, and the other was the female prime minister. How could they not understand?
It was just that General Ye was lying on the narrow couch where she was taking her afternoon nap.
The empress placed her hand on the back of General Ye's hand while he was unconscious.
"We didn't see anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them gently went out and closed the door. They also asked the palace maids waiting outside to wait at the stairs.
An hour later!
Ye Qing gently moved his hand that the empress had pressed down on.
He raised his eyebrows and slowly opened his eyes.
The moment his vision turned clear, he saw a noble and elegant decoration.
The structure of this house was semi-circular?
In the middle of the wall, there was a pillar with a diameter of nearly five meters.
Of course, what he saw was only half of the pillar.
A semi-circular house with such a huge pillar in the middle?
Very soon, Ye Qing reacted and instantly thought of the words 'Sacred Central Crypt's third floor'!
The Ming Hall had three floors. The bottom floor was a square with four colors on each side, representing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
That level was called the Purple Myrtle Palace, which was also the main meeting hall!
The middle layer had a twelve-sided shape, imitating the twenty-four hours of the day!
This level was mainly used as the examination venue for the Civil and Military Court Examinations. This design was also to let the rookies know the importance of time.
The top floor was circular and surrounded by nine dragon sculptures.
In the middle was a huge wooden pillar with a circumference of about fifteen meters. It was connected from top to bottom, so the Ming Hall was also called the Heavenly Palace.
The third floor was where Wu Zetian worked and slept, the Heavenly Hall!
A partition wall divided the Heaven Ascension Hall into two, the royal study and the bedroom!
If he guessed correctly, this was the royal study!
This was the first time that this meritorious minister, whom the empress had received four times in formal attire, had come to the empress's royal study.
If it wasn't for the knowledge from his previous life, he really wouldn't have been able to analyze it.
At this moment, he felt the warmth on the back of his hand after he had completely regained consciousness.
At the same time, he also smelled that strange yet familiar fragrance!
He slowly turned his head and saw a shocking and intoxicating scene.
A beautiful girl in pink was sleeping quietly.
She placed one hand on the back of her hand and the other elbow on the edge of the narrow bed. At the same time, the back of her hand supported her face.
At this moment, she was like a fairy in a painting.
A moment later, Ye Qing frowned again.
This intoxicating woman was so familiar. She didn't seem to be the palace maid who took care of him!
Previously, he thought that after he fainted, the empress had asked someone to carry him to the royal study and then asked the palace maids to take care of him.
This was a normal operation!
When he took a closer look, he was shocked!
It was no wonder he didn't recognize her before. It was one thing for an old man to have a slow reaction.
Furthermore, other than their encounter at the royal horse track thirteen years ago, he had never seen the empress in ladylike clothes.
Cough cough!
He was so shocked that he started coughing.
The empress frowned and hurriedly sat up straight. She retracted her hand.
"Minister Ye, you're awake!" she said calmly.”
