Chapter 111: reject
Since the emperor fell ill, He Yu has been waiting in front of the emperor's bed, although he is closed all day long, and he no longer manages many affairs as before, but those in the court and the palace He clearly sees the attitude of people.
At first everyone thought that the emperor had just contracted some minor illnesses, and he would recover after a few days of rest. He behaved so diligently that the people who were guarding outside the hall from morning to night were unable to line up.
Especially Concubine Rong, who was once the emperor's favorite, had time to organize the upcoming family banquet, but didn't have time to take a look at the emperor.
It is the fourth prince Xuan Wang from Concubine Rong, who comes to accompany the emperor when he is free.
This afternoon, the emperor was rarely awake, so He Yu hurried forward, holding a tea cup to let the emperor moisten his throat.
He Yu's fingertips clasped the tea cup tightly, he lowered his head, lowered his eyebrows and pleaded with his eyes: "Back to the emperor, when Concubine Rong came over, the emperor was still in a drowsiness, and Concubine Rong couldn't bear to disturb her. The emperor rested and went back."
In fact, Concubine Rong has not been seen in Qiankun Palace for a while, but He Yu couldn't bear to let the emperor lose, so she told this lie.
Sure enough, after the emperor heard that Concubine Rong was coming, there seemed to be a ray of light in his turbid eyes, and he said, "Go, call Concubine Rong here."
He Yu hesitated in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything on the face, and said hurriedly: "Yes."
I don't know if Concubine Rong is willing to come.
Going outside, the sky is still gloomy, like a heavy cage, covering all the palaces inside.
The snow stopped, but it was raining lightly. The fine rain curtain was like a hazy veil, which vaguely blocked He Yu's sight.
He Yu took a few steps and saw a little **** rushing towards her.
"Chief." The little **** lowered his shrill voice, "His Royal Highness is down."
His Royal Highness, like the concubine Rong, has not set foot in the Qiankun Palace for a long time, He Yu thought to himself, fortunately, there is still King Xuan coming over from time to time to give the emperor some comfort.
It's just that the weather is so bad today, I don't know why His Royal Highness came here.
He restrained his thoughts and asked earnestly, "Where are the people?"
The little **** looked back: "There."
He Yu walked over with the little eunuch, and before he got close, he saw an extremely thin figure standing in front of the dense gray-black rain curtain.
His Royal Highness originally turned his head to look at the rain curtain, but when he heard footsteps, he turned his head slowly.
It's been a while since he hadn't seen him, and he lost a lot of weight, as if the wind would blow into the rain.
Seeing this, He Yu suddenly remembered the strange expression in the expression of the young **** just now, and suddenly understood - no wonder the little eunuch's reaction was so strange, even he did not expect His Royal Highness to be so thin. Fan's appearance is almost as good as the emperor, as if he was also seriously ill.
With these thoughts in mind, He Yu walked over.
However, when He Yu saw the face of His Royal Highness, the whole person was stunned—
The face of His Royal Highness…
The burn marks on His Royal Highness Prince’s face are gone!
He Yu thought it was his own dazzling misunderstanding, he hurriedly blinked, rubbed his eyes again, and looked over again, the pale face was still like a pure white and flawless jade generally.
He Yu was both shocked and frightened, and at the same time tried to squeeze a smile of surprise. For a while, the expression on his face changed several times, which was quite exciting and slightly distorted.
"Your Highness, Prince!" He Yu managed to adjust his mood. He realized his gaffe, and quickly lowered his head in fear, "Your face..."
Shi Ye didn't seem to want to mention this, he interrupted He Yu coldly: "Where's the emperor?"
It wasn't long, and he couldn't afford to delay, so he took out the speech he had just prepared, "Today the emperor is ill, and it is inconvenient to see people, so please go back to the prince, wait until the emperor is better, and the servant will go to invite the prince. Come here, Your Highness."
After speaking, He Yu lowered his head nervously.
Nevertheless, He Yu could still feel His Royal Highness's icy gaze falling on his neck. neck, let
He broke into a cold sweat in this icy rainy day.
His Royal Highness's tone was colder than this rain, and it fell coolly from above He Yu's head: "Is the emperor awake?"
"Your Majesty..." He Yu paused, those lies stuck in his throat, suppressed by an emotion called fear, and he couldn't squeeze it out, he carefully After swallowing, he suddenly didn't dare to lie, "He just woke up."
"Very good." Shi Ye said, "Let me meet him in this palace."
"Yes, but..." He Yu said tremblingly, "The emperor said he wanted to see Rong..."
Before the word "concubine" was uttered, He Yu saw His Royal Highness raise his hand in the corner of the light, and then a force attacked his chest, he still couldn't react to what happened , he felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if countless ants were biting his heart at the same time.
He Yu stayed in the palace for decades, climbed from the bottom to the emperor step by step, what kind of punishment has not been received?
But at this moment, he couldn't resist kneeling to the bottom in an instant, and he wiped his forehead with the back of his trembling hand.
Looking down, the backs of her hands are covered in cold sweat.
The voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sounded again above his head: "The same thing, I don't want to say it again."
"Yes." He Yu was so frightened that he didn't even dare to mention the word "Rong Fei", let alone leave the Prince's Royal Highness to invite Concubine Rong, he is here Kneeling on the ground for two steps, he got up in embarrassment and cowering, "His Royal Highness, please."
Only a few candles were lit in the bedroom, and the sky outside was so gloomy that no sunlight could be seen, so that the light in the bedroom was dim, and I could only roughly see the surrounding furnishings.
But this is enough, the emperor after falling ill does not like to shine.
He Yu saw those eunuchs and palace maids standing in front of the bed from a distance, and knew that the emperor hadn't fallen asleep, so he quickened his pace and walked to the bed with his head buried.
The emperor was really awake, and when he heard the movement, his cloudy eyes took a while to focus, and he slowly looked behind him, his dry lips labored to open and close: "Concubine Rong..."
"Your Majesty." He Yu said bravely, "His Royal Highness has come to see you."
He Yu was embarrassed, and the clenched palms were sweating: "Your Majesty, it is still raining outside, and His Royal Highness the Prince has been waiting outside for a long time. If he wants to see the Emperor, the servants have to ask His Royal Highness first. come in."
After saying that, He Yu suddenly felt that someone walked behind him, and soon, the prince said behind him, "You all go down."
He Yu struggled for a moment, glanced at the emperor who was not speaking on the bed, was the fear of the prince prevailing, he hurriedly led a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and walked away as if escaping .
Shi Ye was expressionless, looking down at the emperor who was breathing in and out, he said, "You are dying."
Shi Ye said, "Are you willing to give up all this?"
The emperor stared blankly at the bright yellow drapery on the top of the bed, and after a moment, he grinned at himself: "I'm tired of being a puppet, so it would be a good thing to give up. "
Shi Ye's pale cheeks were rendered a dim yellow by the candlelight, his expression was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, only the long drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing his mind in the end.
He stared at the emperor's face, but he never got the emperor's face.
After a while, he didn't hold back and said, "As long as you speak, I can save you."
The emperor said: "With your blood?"
Shi Ye said nothing.
The emperor shook his head gently: "I have received your kindness, and I have received too much favor from the Hua family."
When Hua Yanran saved him with blood, he lost almost half of his life. If he had a chance to choose again, he would definitely not let his life be marked with "flowers" Yanran" mark.
It's enough for such a thing to happen once, he doesn't want to happen to Hua Yanran's son a second time.
Shi Ye looked at the emperor's sallow face and said, "I still have a way."
When the voice fell, he opened his palm and showed a small stone taken from the red rope in front of the emperor: "It may save your life."
After the emperor saw the stone in front of him, his dull face showed a little surprise: "This, this..." After a pause, he said again, "This thing has been missing for many years, how could it be? into your hands?"
Shi Ye didn't answer the emperor's question, but said, "I'll give it to you."
The emperor recovered from his surprise, thought for a moment, and shook his head again: "I don't need it."
Shi Ye tightened his palm suddenly.
He held the spirit stone hard. I don't know if it was too hard, and his hands were shaking badly.
He stared at the emperor with stern eyes, as if to see through the emperor: "You really don't want it?"
The emperor still said that: "Your kindness is accepted by me, but I can't bear it."
Shi Ye retracted his hand, his body swayed slightly, he smiled suddenly: "I can't stand it, if the person who brought this spirit stone is not me, but your good son Shi Jin, will you happily accept it?"
The emperor opened his lips silently, and finally closed his eyes silently, acquiescing to what Shi Ye said.
