Chapter 91
Chapter 91
As the twelfth lunar month entered, the weather became colder and colder every day, and Ji Yinghan's complexion became paler and paler day by day.He curled up at the head of the bed, wrapped two thick quilts around his body and hugged the heater in his arms, but his fingertips were still icy cold.
This room is actually not too cold, the doors and windows are closed tightly, the only difference from other places in the palace is that the charcoal stove in this room is not burning, it was lit once a few days ago, but when the charcoal fire ignited, , Ji Yinghan trembled so much that he could hardly breathe.Yu Chenglie hurriedly sent someone to destroy it, and only then did he clearly realize that Ji Yinghan's resistance to the charcoal stove far exceeded his expectations.A room without a charcoal stove is nothing to Yu Chenglie, but it is extremely cold to Ji Yinghan who has lost all his martial arts.
"Yinghan..." Yu Chenglie's outstretched right hand stopped in mid-air.Ji Yinghan shrank back even though there was no room left, and looked at him defensively. He looked very embarrassed when he curled up, but the resistance in his eyes still didn't decrease a bit.
Yu Chenglie sat down on the edge of the bed, and rewrapped the outer quilt that had just slipped off because of Ji Yinghan's shrunken body.He moved very slowly and carefully, for fear that he would startle the person in front of him if he was not careful.This is the mode of getting along with him since this period of time.
"Congratulations..." Ji Yinghan said suddenly.
"You... Got it." Yu Chenglie frowned, there really is no impenetrable wall in this world.
Ji Yinghan didn't answer any more.
At this time, Jinyang Palace was being refurbished inside and out, waiting to welcome its new owner. The day before Emperor Rui'an ascended the throne, Empress Zhou moved from Jinyang Palace to Longevity Palace.Since the filial piety period hadn't passed, there were naturally no lights and festivities in the palace, but the news that Yu Chenglie had established Qin Qionghua, the eldest lady of the Tsingyi family, would still reach Ji Yinghan's ears.
"Yinghan." Yu Chenglie pulled Ji Yinghan into his arms, felt a tremor unsurprisingly, he sighed and continued, "The harem cannot be without queens."
Ji Yinghan still didn't respond.
"This is also the agreement I made with Qin Xun at the beginning. I can't rest assured that he has the power to control the martial arts. After all, I don't want what happened in the Huai Zhou Dynasty to happen again." Uncle status, but in fact, it is Yu Chenglie who is using Qin Qionghua to contain Qin Xun, and through Qin Xun to further contain Wulin.
It was the first time that Qin Xun and Yu Chenglie disagreed, but he had no choice but to bow his head, which made Yu Chenglie understand better that this move was really good.People are often bound together because of interests, but interests are fragile, and what is really solid and solid is the human heart.
After Yu Chenglie explained, he turned around and realized that Ji Yinghan had fallen asleep at some point, with his head lowered against Yu Chenglie's chest. Finally, the undisguised resistance he had when he was awake was gone, and Yu Chenglie lightly Gently kissed Ji Yinghan's heart, and kept his posture still. This is probably the closest distance between them now.It has been difficult for Ji Yinghan to sleep peacefully these days, even though he has no martial arts, he is still very alert, any slight disturbance will wake him up, and it will be difficult to fall back asleep when he wakes up.Yu Chenglie once asked Shen Jin to prescribe several medicines with calming effect in Ji Yinghan's medicine, but none of them had much effect.Ji Yinghan's body was riddled with holes, and Shen Jin didn't dare to increase the dose rashly, so Yu Chenglie had no choice but to give up.
About half an hour later, Ji Yinghan woke up. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Yu Chenglie who was hugging him. He subconsciously pushed Yu Chenglie away.
Yu Chenglie was pushed and staggered unpreparedly. He was already a little angry, but the moment he raised his head, he saw the astonishing hatred in Ji Yinghan's eyes.It's different from being defensive, different from dazed, different from vulnerable, it's the most naked and undisguised hatred.
"Don't look at me with that look!" Yu Chenglie's anger increased, he clamped Ji Yinghan's chin, and pushed him hard against the wall.
Ji Yinghan didn't answer, his eyes were still as sharp as a blade.
Yu Chenglie pressed Ji Yinghan onto the bed, and pulled Ji Yinghan's skirt with his hand.Ji Yinghan is very thin now, his ribs are distinct, and his skin is astonishingly pale. He closed his eyes, and he didn't resist or make a sound, except for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he didn't look like a living person at all.The more so Yu Chenglie became, the more angry he became, and the more fierce his actions became.But from the beginning to the end, except for the uncontrollable spasms of his body, Ji Yinghan didn't respond to Yu Chenglie at all.
When Yu Chenglie came back to his senses, he realized what he had done. He pulled the quilt in a panic, trying to cover up the terrible marks he had left on Ji Yinghan's body.
Ji Yinghan Ji Yinghan opened his eyes, his eyes were loose and weak, he opened his mouth, blood oozes from the bitten lip.
"I've...never hated you before."
Ji Yinghan's eyes were so clear that life was hopeless, forcing Yu Chenglie to flee.
The next day, after the morning court, Yu Chenglie saw the little eunuch who usually guarded Tosho Palace hovering at the gate of Chaohua Palace from afar.
"Your Majesty, my slave." Seeing Yu Chenglie, the little eunuch immediately came up all the way to salute.
"Get up, what happened?" Yu Chenglie asked.
"Young master has a high fever, the slave really has no other choice, so why did you come to His Majesty?" the little eunuch said hastily.
"High fever?" Yu Chenglie was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered his atrocities yesterday, "When did it start?"
"Shortly after His Majesty left yesterday, the young master had a fever. The slave wanted to come and repay His Majesty, but the young master refused to let me go, saying that it would be fine after a while. Unexpectedly, the fever got worse and worse at night. Now I am...unconscious " The little eunuch spoke tremblingly, and his lips trembled violently when he spoke the last half of the sentence.
"He won't let you tell me, why don't you tell me!" Yu Chenglie didn't care about getting angry, and while ordering someone to call Shen Jin, he hurried to Dongzhao Palace, not even having time to change his court clothes.
As soon as Yu Chenglie arrived at Tosho Palace, Tosho Palace was in a hurry inside and outside again. It was not until almost noon that Ji Yinghan's high fever slowly subsided.
"Your Majesty..." Outside the bedroom, Shen Jin knelt on his knees.
"It's okay for you to say it." Yu Chenglie said.
"Ji Gongzi's current body cannot withstand too violent intercourse, please bear with it for now." Shen Jin lowered his head, not daring to look at Yu Chenglie's face.
"Go down." Yu Chenglie said.
After Shen Jin left, Yu Chenglie got up and walked towards Ji Yinghan's bedroom, but stopped when he reached the door, turned around and left Tosho Palace after a while.
When Ji Yinghan woke up, he saw the food on the table. He had lost his appetite for many days, but for some reason today, he felt very disturbed in his heart and mouth, as if he needed some food urgently.He struggled to get up, walked slowly to the table and sat down.White porridge with several refreshing side dishes, and two steaming delicate steamed buns.Ji Yinghan drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, and picked up a few chopsticks vegetables with the steamed buns, but unexpectedly, after a few mouthfuls of the steamed buns, he bit into a foreign object.
Ji Yinghan hurriedly opened the steamed bun, and there was a small paper ball in the middle, the paper ball was pulled apart, and a bright white pill was wrapped in it.Ji Yinghan's eyes lit up and then darkened. He has lost all his martial arts skills. Is this thing still useful to him?Ji Yinghan thought for a while and put the pills in his arms and hid them close to his body. He thought that the person who delivered the pills should be the same person who delivered the letter to him that day. Since that person was able to hide the pills in his meal, it meant that People are very clear about his situation, and since this is the case, there is a reason for giving him the pill. What he has to do now is to find a suitable time to use it.
On the fourteenth day of the first month of the first year of Emperor Rui'an, Emperor Rui'an got married.Emperor Rui'an sympathized with the difficulty of life for the people, kept everything simple, and took this opportunity to reduce part of the tax, and all the officials and people praised him.
Since leaving Tosho Palace that day, Yu Chenglie hadn't seen Ji Yinghan for many days because he was busy with government affairs and the wedding.The little eunuch of Tosho Palace came to report every morning and evening, and Yu Chenglie listened very attentively, but for some reason he didn't have the courage to step into Tosho Palace again.
And what Yu Chenglie didn't expect was that he didn't go to see Ji Yinghan, but Ji Yinghan came to him first.
In front of the main hall of Jinyang Palace, Ji Yinghan pointed his sword at Yu Chenglie, stabbing him immediately without even giving him time to react.Yu Chenglie took a few steps back to avoid it, his bamboo flute was broken long ago, because he was wearing wedding clothes and did not bring any weapons, so for a while, Yu Chenglie was forced by Ji Yinghan to be very embarrassed .
The sound of fighting naturally alarmed Qin Qionghua, who was sitting quietly in the room. After all, Qin Qionghua was the eldest lady of Tsingyi Sect, and she was more courageous than ordinary girls. She immediately took off the red hijab on her head and pushed open the door.
In the palace garden, two figures of Bai Yihong chased and hid.
While hiding, Yu Chenglie was frightened. Looking at Ji Yinghan's stabbing tricks, he really wanted his life.Although he wondered why Ji Yinghan suddenly recovered his martial arts, but the current situation made him completely unable to clear his mind.
"Your Majesty!" Qin Qionghua exclaimed when she saw this situation, but she wanted to call out but stopped immediately. Although she had never met Ji Yinghan, her brother Qin Xun had mentioned it more than once, and He also heard about the affairs between Yu Chenglie and Ji Yinghan, so he naturally knew Ji Yinghan's identity immediately.She knew that if someone was attracted at this moment, Ji Yinghan would probably die no matter whether Yu Chenglie gave the order or not, so she didn't make another sound, but turned around and went back to the house to find a sword from under her dowry box, and ran again out.
"Your Majesty, then..." Qin Qionghua threw the sword towards Yu Chenglie from a distance, and Yu Chenglie just grabbed it.He removed the scabbard, and started to follow Ji Yinghan's moves.This sword was originally used by women, so it is lighter, but Yu Chenglie's profound internal strength and high martial arts skills can handle it with ease.
But what Yu Chenglie never expected was that Ji Yinghan's martial arts were inexplicably stronger than Yuqiang. He could resist it at first, but as Ji Yinghan's moves became stronger and stronger, he held the sword. His right arm and right hand also felt sore and numb.
"Ding——!" There was another fierce confrontation, and the sword blades collided with each other, making a harsh sound, Yu Chenglie's fingers numb, and the sword fell out of his hand.
Ji Yinghan saw the opportunity and stabbed at him without hesitation. It was too late for Yu Chenglie to dodge, so he subconsciously closed his eyes.
"Stop!" Qin Qionghua exclaimed and stood in front of Yu Chenglie.
"Get out of the way!" Yu Chenglie shouted anxiously.
Ji Yinghan looked at Qin Qionghua in front of him and then at Yu Chenglie behind Qin Qionghua, the red wedding clothes of the two were particularly bright against the night, they were a well-matched couple.
"Get out of the way!" Ji Ying said coldly, his target was Yu Chenglie, not the woman he met for the first time.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Ji, I wonder if you can listen to me, a girl?" The sharp blade was already in front of him, but Qin Qionghua was not in a hurry.
Ji Yinghan frowned: "Say it."
"This was originally a matter between Young Master Ji and His Majesty. It stands to reason that Qionghua shouldn't care about it. But at this moment, His Majesty and I have become relatives. Regardless of whether Your Majesty has me in his heart, he is already Qionghua's lifelong love." Husband, Qionghua can't just sit and watch her husband die under the sword of your son." Qin Qionghua raised his head and looked at Ji Yinghan, with determination in his eyes.
"What does this have to do with me?" Ji Yinghan said.
Qin Qionghua didn't mind Ji Yinghan's indifference: "What I said just now was private. According to Yu Gong, His Majesty is the emperor of Beining. Now that the world has just stabilized, if you kill Your Majesty at this time, it will only relieve one person's hatred." , but it will once again trap the common people in the fire and water."
Ji Yinghan frowned again, and was about to speak, but Qin Qionghua didn't give him this chance.
"If Emperor Huaxuan and Empress Chu knew about it, would they be willing to see the young master become a sinner through the ages?"
Qin Qionghua's words shocked Ji Yinghan's heart, and he suddenly remembered what Emperor Huaxuan had said when he was a child.
"Duan'er, when the father and the emperor hand over the country to you in a hundred years, you must protect all the people and every inch of my territory in Huaizhou. Don't let the father, the queen, and the queen become eternal sinners."
He was only five years old at that time, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but at this moment, this sentence echoed in his mind very clearly.
Ji Yinghan slowly lowered the sword in his hand, looking at the dark world in despair,
The territory of Beining is also the territory of Huai Zhou, and the people of Beining are also the people of Huai Zhou.
In these years, he has never cared about this territory, nor has he cared about the people of the world.
All these years... what has he done?
Day and night he lived in the obsession with revenge, what is it... for what?
"Yinghan..." Seeing Ji Yinghan's distraught look, Yu Chenglie couldn't help being anxious. He grabbed Ji Yinghan's right arm, but he didn't want Ji Yinghan to stagger under the force. A trace of blood faded, and the person fell limply. It turned out that he just supported himself with a single breath.
"Yinghan...Yinghan..." Yu Chenglie caught him in a hurry, glanced at Ji Yinghan's face that instantly turned ashen, and his heart was half cold.
"Shen Jin...Call Shen Jin..." Yu Chenglie turned his head and shouted to Qin Qionghua who was already stunned behind him, "Quick!"
Qin Qionghua came to his senses and immediately ran out with the big red skirt in Xifu: "Come here! Come here!"
Today is the new emperor's big wedding. The whole Jinyang Palace has already been led by Xi Po to have a drink. There is no one else outside except the Imperial Guards patrolling on time. The little eunuch who took care of him, as for the other people in Shadow, probably didn't realize that he was gone at this moment.
Ji Yinghan effortlessly raised his hand to grab Yu Chenglie's clothes corner, his eyes looked at some unknown place, and his eyes were a little distracted.
"Take me...back...Toshogu Palace..." He felt his lips and tongue losing consciousness a little bit, and he could only make a very weak sound.
"Okay...ok..." Yu Chenglie didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately picked up Ji Yinghan and ran out of Jinyang Palace.
In the palace garden of Toshogu Palace, it is the time when a piece of white plum blooms just right.
"Just...here." When Yu Chenglie carried Ji Yinghan to the center of the Merlin, Ji Yinghan spoke again.
Yu Chenglie stopped, and sat on the ground with Ji Yinghan in his arms. The ground was icy cold, but he couldn't control that much anymore. He took off his wedding dress and wrapped it around Ji Yinghan's body. The bright red wedding dress couldn't cover him Gray complexion.
"That year... I was supposed to... be here..." Ji Yinghan looked at the blossoming white plum blossoms above his head against the dark night with slack eyes, and a smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth, "Now... I don't Worse……"
When Qin Qionghua and Shen Jin rushed to Dongzhao Palace, Yu Chenglie was looking at the person in his arms motionless, as if he wanted to engrave this face in his mind for generations.As for Ji Yinghan in his arms, he had stopped breathing for some time. He looked very peaceful with his eyes closed, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. Thought he was just asleep.
Qin Qionghua and Shen Jin couldn't bear to step forward, so they could only stand aside silently.
At this time, there was a sound of beeping not far away.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
As the last sound of the gong fell, the north wind blew up, and large flakes of snowflakes fell with plum blossom petals in between. There was silence all day long, with only the faint sound of rustling falling in my ears.
"Yinghan, the Lantern Festival is here..."
"It's snowing again..."
"When the two of us met for the first time, it was also the Shangyuan Festival..."
"It's snowing too..."
