Outside Weiyang Palace, brilliantly illuminated, Imperial Palace Imperial Guard one after another, is very magnificent. 未央宫外,灯火通明,皇宫禁卫一队接着一队,很是壮观。 Ning Chen pulls the carriage to walk toward outside, just left the Weiyang Palace front door then to stop the step, looks that one team of Imperial Guard passed by, has blocked the way on own initiative. 宁辰牵着马车朝外边走去,刚出未央宫大门便停下步子,看着一队禁卫路过,主动拦住了去路。 „Does little eunuch, do?” Because Ning Chen goes out from Weiyang Palace, walks the Imperial Guard military officer in front line not to dare to neglect, facial expression polite say/way. “小公公,有何贵干？”因为宁辰是从未央宫走出,走在最前方的禁卫将领也不敢怠慢,神情客气道。 „Imperial Empress has the urgent matter makes small leaves the palace to manage, but Imperial Palace bans now strictly, the difference is really inconvenient, feared that must delay the assignment of Empress confession, but also looks at General to help to see off a regulation” “皇后娘娘有急事让小的出宫去办,不过如今皇宫禁严,出入甚为不便,怕是要耽搁了娘娘交代的差事,还望将军能够帮忙相送一程” Imperial Guard that Ning Chen both eyes have swept teams of walking past, on the face flashes through the anxious color, at once, takes back the vision, looks at present the Imperial Guard military officer, requested. 宁辰双眼扫过一队队走过的禁卫,脸上闪过焦急之色,旋即,收回目光,看着眼前禁卫将领,请求道。 „This” “这” The Imperial Guard military officer looks awkwardly, to hesitate for a while. 禁卫将领面露为难,一时也犹豫起来。 The assassin night rushes to Imperial Study, they follow orders to do an inspection, properly speaking cannot be absent without authorization. 刺客夜闯御书房,他们奉命巡查,按道理说是不能擅离职守的。 However, the Imperial Empress matter does not allow to delay, if he rejects, afterward unavoidably will annoy the Weiyang Palace master not to be happy. 不过,皇后娘娘的事情也是不容耽搁的,他若拒绝,事后难免会惹未央宫主人不高兴。 „General , if not believe that this is the faith token that Imperial Empress bestows, General may take was confirming to Imperial Empress personally” “将军若是不信,这是皇后娘娘赐下的信物,将军可拿着亲自向皇后娘娘确认” During the speeches, on the Ning Chen face the anxious color is stronger, takes out moon-shaped jade pendant that Zhangsun gives from the bosom, hands in the Imperial Guard military officer hand, urged. 说话间,宁辰脸上焦急之色更浓,从怀里取出长孙给的月形玉佩,递到禁卫将领手中,催促道。 „Good, delivers a little eunuch regulation below” “好吧,在下就送小公公一程” The Imperial Guard military officer sees moon-shaped jade pendant, in heart last hesitant also cancels, the nod should say, this is Imperial Empress faith token along, in the palace many Imperial Guard once had seen, will not have the mistake. 禁卫将领一看到月形玉佩,心中最后一丝犹豫也打消,点头应道,这是皇后娘娘的随身信物,宫中许多禁卫都曾见过,不会有错。 In the Ning Chen heart relaxes secretly, he chooses in front of Weiyang Palace blocks Imperial Guard to reduce Imperial Guard to his vigilance, the discrete person will present the cognition blind spot, so long as uses attentively guides again, can create to let the false appearance that the person is hard to distinguish. 宁辰心中暗松一口气,他选择在未央宫门前拦住禁卫就是为了降低禁卫对他的戒心,再谨慎的人都会出现认知的盲点,只要用心利用再加以引导,就能造成让人难以辨别的假象。 „Looks at little eunuch to be young, just entered the palace shortly after” “看小公公年纪不大,是刚入宫没多久吧” The Imperial Guard military officer told that behind other people continue to go on patrol, at once goes forward to help to pull the carriage, walks, while asked at will. 禁卫将领吩咐身后其余人继续巡逻,旋即上前帮忙牵过马车,一边走,一边随意问道。 „Graciousness” “恩” Ning Chen somewhat embarrassed selected, replied that „few days ago just entered the palace, must hoodwink the attendance of Qing Ning Miss, now makes some miscellaneous matters in Weiyang Palace” 宁辰有些不好意思点了点,回答道“前些日子刚入宫,得蒙青柠姑娘的照顾,如今在未央宫做些杂事” „The little eunuch good good fortune, in the palace everyone to know that Imperial Empress virtuous virtue, is most generous Imperial Bodyguard leader good intentions to smile to below person”, said. “小公公好福气,宫中谁都知道皇后娘娘贤良淑德,对下边人最为宽厚”侍卫首领善意一笑,说道。 „General said is extremely” “将军所言极是” Ning Chen should say with a smile, in the heart actually very does not approve, these fools made Zhangsun deceiving, was the virtuous virtue he does not know, but was not generous to under person, he had been tricked by Zhangsun several times, otherwise he free and unfettered outside the palace was already merry, had no need for the big evening worrying to travel. 宁辰笑着应道,心中却十分不赞同,这些傻瓜都让长孙给骗了,是不是贤良淑德他不知道,但对下边人一点也不宽厚,他就是被长孙忽悠了好几次,否则他早就在宫外逍遥快活,也用不着大晚上着急跑路了。 „Yo, this is not little Ning child, which this big evening must go” “哟,这不是小宁子么,这大晚上是要去哪呢” Walked shortly, suddenly, two people not far away shrill and raucous voice voice conveys together, in the Ning Chen heart thump, was called one not to be good immediately secretly. 走了没多久,突然,两人不远处一道公鸭嗓子般的声音传来,宁辰心中顿时咯噔一声,暗叫一声不好。 As the sound looks, a body treasure lapis lazuli embroiders the Immortal Crane long gown, the hand takes to whisk, wears the Peacock wool to withstand/top the form of setting a jewel hat to walk slowly, looks that Ning Chen said with a smile vaguely, „was really skillful” 随着声音望去,一位身宝石蓝绣仙鹤长袍,手拿拂尘,头戴孔雀毛顶镶宝石帽的身影缓缓走来,看着宁辰不阴不阳地笑道,“真是巧啊” „Zhao Jin eunuch” the Imperial Bodyguard leader knows the person, cups one hand in the other across the chest politely, has greeted. “赵瑾公公”侍卫首领认识来人,客气一拱手,算是打过招呼。 „General Ling” Zhao Jin returns a courtesy, at once smilingly asks, „does not know where General and little Ning child this is must go to?” “凌将军”赵瑾回礼,旋即笑眯眯地问道,“不知将军和小宁子这是要去哪里？” „little eunuch presents the life of Imperial Empress to leave the palace the management, sees off a regulation below fortunately, Eunuch Zhao and this little eunuch knew?” “小公公奉皇后娘娘之命出宫办事,在下凑巧相送一程,赵公公和这位小公公认识？” The Ling Xiao surprise, Zhao Jin serves as a petty government official side Sovereign of Xia slightly for 20 years, the status is different, how to know that just entered the young court eunuch in palace. 凌萧微微诧异,赵瑾在夏皇身边当差20余载,地位不同一般,怎会认识一名刚入宫的小太监。 „Has met” Zhao Jin to be perfunctory one, has not explained anything, at once looks at Ling Xiao Ning Chen, measured cloudy smiles, in the words has words say/way „little Ning child, me also want to adjust you to come the side to work, has not thought that Imperial Empress one step must arrive at Weiyang Palace you first, is really regrettable” “见过一面而已”赵瑾敷衍了一句,并没有多解释什么,旋即看着凌萧身边的宁辰,阴测测一笑,话中有话道“小宁子,咱家本来还想调你来身边做事,没想到皇后娘娘先一步把你要到了未央宫,真是遗憾啊” „Hehe” Ning Chen laughs foolishly to conceal, has not explained tactfully, this said that anything queers, you are Zhangsun pinch. “呵呵”宁辰傻笑着掩饰过去,知趣地没有多做解释,这说什么都是得罪人,你还是自己和长孙掐去吧。 Zhao Jin gathered round the carriage to walk, the false smile said/tunnel, „present Imperial Palace is chaotic, General may probably inspect well, so as to avoid lost any thing” 赵瑾围着马车走了一圈,皮笑肉不笑地道,“如今皇宫较乱,将军可要好好检查啊,免得丢失了什么东西” In the Ning Chen heart sinks, complexion changes, this damn old anomaly. 宁辰心中一沉,脸色微变,这该死的老变态。 Ling Xiao looked at Ning Chen one awkwardly, normally the Weiyang Palace assignment they do not feel better to ask, but Eunuch Zhao spoke the reminder, he does not inspect, somewhat could not be justified. 凌萧为难地看了宁辰一眼,按说未央宫的差事他们不好过问,但赵公公已经发话提醒,他再不检查,就有些说不过去了。 „General Ling, handles matters according to the custom, but, be please more careful” the Ning Chen opens the mouth, solemnly says. “凌将军,按规矩办事吧,不过,请小心一些”宁辰开口,沉声道。 Ling Xiao nodded, goes forward one step to lift the car(riage) curtain, at once boards the carriage, prepares to inspect. 凌萧点了点头,上前一步掀开车帘,旋即登上马车,准备检查。 In the car(riage) has piled up with the box, pressure, Ling Xiao turns on the outermost box, pleasant is each article porcelain, one side moves out places, opens one again, still has chocked up the porcelain. 车内堆满了箱子,一个压一个,凌萧打开最外边的箱子,入眼均是一件件瓷器,搬走放在一边,再打开一个,依然还是摆满了瓷器。 Load duty of Ling Xiao in the palace nearly ten years, has recognized this is in the palace the commonly used thing, fine actually fine, but by the value, can only say that a matter. 凌萧在宫中担职已近十年,认得这都是宫中常用的东西,精美倒是精美,但论价值,就只能说那么回事了。 The Weiyang Palace treasure how, casually is not this car(riage) porcelain may compare with one, if steals, is really the gain does not equal the loss. 未央宫的珍宝何其之多,随便拿一件都不是这一车瓷器可比的,若是偷盗,实在是得不偿失。 „Aiya, General is careful” “哎呀,将军小心” When one side Ling Xiao one inspects the good box to move , the Ning Chen facial color changes, shouts. 就在凌萧将一个检查好的箱子搬到一边时,宁辰面色一变,喊道。 At once, then hears a sound, the entire box of porcelain reveals from the bottom, falls in the compartment, in broken thin crash-bang. 旋即,便听到噼里啪啦的一阵响声,整箱的瓷器从箱底露出,摔在车厢中,碎的稀里哗啦。 In the Ning Chen eye reveals flustered color, the anxious say/way, „yeah, forgot to tell General, the anxiety that below several box some ages, Imperial Empress confessed that said that will have the faith token again not to inspect, was not in the way, my did in haste this matter forgetting” 宁辰眼中露出慌张之色,焦急道,“哎,忘了告诉将军,下边几个箱子有些年代了,皇后娘娘交代的急,说了有了信物就不会再检查,并不碍事,我一着急就把这事给忘了” The Ling Xiao complexion is also ugly, although destroys is not the Jane|treasure rare treasure, but after all is the Weiyang Palace thing, moreover such anxiety that Imperial Empress confesses, decides however has the important use, thinks of here, Ling Xiao look bad looked at Zhao Jin, blames this damn old court eunuch, if not for this old fogy is meddlesome, he will not make this grade of huge mistake. 凌萧脸色也是难看,虽说打碎的不是什么奇珍异宝,但毕竟是未央宫的东西,而且皇后娘娘交代的如此之急,定然有重要用途,想到这里,凌萧神色不善的看了一眼赵瑾,都怪这该死的老太监,若不是这老家伙多事,他也不会犯下这等大错。 Under the carriage, Ning Chen sighed in a soft voice, the face was saying painstakingly, „General, you were quicker the inspection, small was also good to hurry to get through the assignment to apologize to Imperial Empress” 马车下方,宁辰轻声一叹,苦着脸道,“将军,您还是快些检查,小的也好赶紧办完差事向皇后娘娘请罪” Listens to Ning Chen not to be pushed responsibility for an offense to his meaning, Ling Xiao is excellent to former's impression immediately , compared to look at the joke in one side again Zhao Jin, whose words are credible whose words not to be incredible need to think immediately again. 听着宁辰被没有将罪责都推给他的意思,凌萧对前者的印象顿时大好,再比较一下在一旁看笑话的赵瑾,谁的话可信谁的话不可信当即不用再想。 Thinks of here, Ling Xiao will jump down the carriage the box, the sincere say/way, „did not need to inspect, little eunuch hurried to leave the palace, not must harm the Imperial Empress assignment, destroyed the matter of thing, if Empress blamed, Ling Xiao can altogether undertake with little eunuch surely” 想到这里,凌萧将箱子将跳下马车,正色道,“不用检查了,小公公赶紧出宫吧,莫要误了皇后娘娘的差事,打碎东西之事,若娘娘怪罪,凌萧定会与小公公一共承担” „Many thanks General” “多谢将军” Ning Chen looks the color of gratitude, in the heart slightly somewhat is afraid, this Ling Xiao such upholds justice, do oneself such coax he is some are not good? 宁辰面露感激之色,心中却微微有些心虚,这凌萧这么仗义,自己这么忽悠他是不是有些不好？ Naturally, the guilty thought flashes passes, without a trace that at once then vanishes. 当然,愧疚的念头只是一闪即逝,旋即便消失的无影无踪。 Said: if I don't enter hell, who will enter hell. 佛曰:我不入地狱,谁入地狱。 What a pity, what he has carried out, if I don't enter hell, let others enter hell. 可惜,他一直奉行的是,我不入地狱,让别人入地狱。 Let alone, Imperial Palace ran a young court eunuch, even if looks up is not the blunder, falls far short to enters hell. 更何况,皇宫跑了一个小太监,即便查出来也不是什么大错,离入地狱还差得远呢。 However, if he was caught, really wanted enters hell! 但是,他若被抓到,就是真的要入地狱了！ Nearby, Zhao Jin looked that has not looked up to have an accident, coldly smiled, swaggers away, the rampant manner, makes the person not be feeling well. 一旁,赵瑾看没查出什么事来,冷冷一笑,扬长而去,嚣张的态度,着实让人不爽。 In the Ning Chen heart considered, also guessed approximately reason why, he and Zhao Jin has only seen both sides, is far from any gratitude and grudges, even in first time meets, Zhao Jin draws out a he meaning, today goodbye/meet again, the manner actually acts like a different person, does not need to want also to know as a result of the relations of Zhangsun. 宁辰心中思虑,大致也猜测出原因为何,他与赵瑾仅见过两面,谈不上什么恩怨,甚至在第一次见面时,赵瑾还是提拉他一把的意思,今日再见,态度却判若两人,不用想也知道是由于长孙的关系。 In Imperial Palace, struggles unceasingly, chooses the position to be important, now looks like, Zhao Jin most likely stood in the West Palace that side, this to the Zhangsun palace in he revealed the meaning of being hostile. 皇宫之中,明争暗斗不断,选择站位至关重要,如今看来,赵瑾十有八~九是站在了西宫的那边,这才对长孙宫中出来的他露出敌视之意。 If not for what a pity, worries to leave the palace, he wants to remain to put in order really this old fogy well. 可惜,若不是着急出宫,他真想留下来好好整一整这个老家伙。 Ning Chen regrettable swung the leader, at once looked at Ling Xiao, said: 宁辰遗憾的摇了头头,旋即看了一眼凌萧,道: „General, we walk” “将军,我们走吧” „Graciousness” “恩” Ling Xiao sees some Ning Chen look changes, but also thinks that the latter is because after the worry comes back , the reason that subjects to a penalty, has not thought of Ning Chen, because after today leaves the palace, does not have the opportunity to hold a Zhao Jin blade to be depressed again. 凌萧看到宁辰神色有些变化,还以为后者是因为担心回来后受罚的缘故,并不曾想到宁辰由于今日出宫之后再没有机会捅赵瑾一刀而郁闷。 Perhaps has not noted including Ning Chen, in Weiyang Palace this for several days , he no matter handles affairs or the idea unintentionally to stand in the Zhangsun standpoint judges. 或许连宁辰自己都没有注意到,在未央宫这短短几日,他不管行事还是想法都有意无意地以站在长孙的立场去判断。 Even if in the mouth did not acknowledge, complained Zhangsun thousand are not good, the mood of innermost feelings could not speak the lie, natural that Ning Chen seems like, having no cares that walks, in the heart throughout truly has not actually put down. 即便嘴中不承认,埋怨长孙千般不好,内心的情绪却说不得谎话,宁辰看似走的潇洒,走的无牵无挂,心中却始终不曾真正放下。 The road of leaving the palace is smooth, has the Zhangsun faith token, in addition escorting of Ling Xiao, after defending Imperial Guard of imperial city gate to check, slightly then allowed to pass. 出宫之路还算顺利,有长孙的信物,加上凌萧的护送,守宫门的禁卫稍作检查之后便放行了。 Nobody thinks, just now escorts Imperial Empress to return to the young court eunuch behind vehicle of palace actually to bring to assassinate Sovereign of Xia and night together rushes to the Imperial Study assassin. 没有人会想到,方才护送皇后娘娘一同回宫的小太监身后的车上竟然带着行刺夏皇并夜闯御书房的刺客。 Leaves the palace, Ning Chen has harnessed the carriage to hurry to the Crossing Peacefully Apothecary direction immediately, on the face that has concealed the mood revealed the anxious color finally, the horse ticket treads, brings the dust. 出了宫,宁辰立刻驾着马车朝渡安药房的方向赶去,一直掩饰情绪的脸上终于露出焦急之色,马车飞踏,带起一路尘土。 A about after double-hour, carriage stops in the pharmacy entrance, Ning Chen hugs in the most under box Mu Chengxue from car(riage) inside stores/conceals, the gait goes forward a foot to trample the prescribing a medicine room wooden door, sharply sharply rushes toward the inner courtyard. 近一个时辰后,马车停在药房门口,宁辰从车内藏在最下方的一个箱子内将暮成雪抱出,两步走上前一脚踹开药房木门,急急朝内院奔去。 „Storekeeper, quick life-saving” “掌柜,快救人” The front courtyard has such big sound, the storekeeper already heard the sound, walks to be just about to get angry the sound to scold, looked that was Ning Chen then depresses the anger, the subconsciousness transferred to latter bosom Mu Chengxue the vision. 前院发生这么大的动静,掌柜早就听到声音,走出来正要怒声呵斥,一看是宁辰便压下了火气,下意识将目光移到后者怀里的暮成雪身上。 However, under this looks, the storekeeper heart has also raised. 然而,这一看之下,掌柜心也跟着提了起来。 „Hurries room” “赶紧进屋” Saw that the female situation is extremely dangerous, storekeeper greeted Ning Chen to return to the room immediately, after Mu Chengxue was put down, immediately goes forward to diagnose. 眼看女子情况极其危险,掌柜当即招呼宁辰回屋,待暮成雪被放下后,立刻上前诊断。 „Goes to the hall to come with my silver needle, a bit faster” storekeeper examines the Mu Chengxue state, while confesses to say extremely quickly. “去堂中拿我的银针过来,快点”掌柜一边查看暮成雪伤情,一边极快地交代道。 „Good” “好” Ning Chen does not dare to delay, immediately rushes to the fore room, seeks for the thing of storekeeper need. 宁辰不敢耽搁,立刻奔向前堂,寻找掌柜需要之物。 After the moment, Ning Chen takes silver needle to come back, gives the storekeeper, then stands in the one side, anxious looks. 片刻后,宁辰拿着银针回来,交给掌柜,然后站在一旁,紧张的看着。 „In there station, be not hurrying to reduce fever the hot water, the more better” storekeeper to take out the silver needle, looked back to look at Ning Chen, scolded to say. “别在那里站着,赶紧去烧热水,越多越好”掌柜取出银针,回首看了一眼宁辰,呵斥道。 „Good” Ning Chen to nod, at once hurriedly runs the room, goes to the kitchen to boil water. “好”宁辰点头,旋即又急急忙忙地跑出屋子,去厨房烧水。 After the quarter of an hour, Ning Chen has lit cauldron hot water in the kitchen, then the tip basin hot water is coming back, seeing the storekeeper to give Mu Chengxue uses/gives needle, the look is serious, is quite dedicated. 一刻钟后,宁辰在厨房烧上了一大锅热水,然后先端着一盆热水回来,看见掌柜已经在给暮成雪施针,神色严肃,极为专注。 Before long, on the forehead of storekeeper the sweat has flowed, the pale blue long unlined close-fitting gown is collapses thoroughly, pastes on the body, is very distressed. 不一会,掌柜的额头上已经汗水流淌,月白的长衫更是塌透,贴在身上,很是狼狈。 The storekeepers have not let make noise, Ning Chen does not dare to come up to disturb, can only defend in side, the wait command. 掌柜没让出声,宁辰也不敢上去打扰,只能守在旁边,等待命令。 Roughly after quarter of an hour, the storekeeper has stood exhaustedly, the body shook shaking, has almost not come to a stop. 约莫又一刻钟后,掌柜疲惫的站了起来,身子晃了晃,差点没有站稳。 „Did hot water burn?” The storekeepers stand firm the body, opens the mouth to ask. “热水烧好了？”掌柜稳住身子,开口问道。 „Em, burnt” Ning Chen hurrying to reply. “恩,烧好了”宁辰赶忙回答道。 „Takes off coat to bathe storekeeper tone exhausted say/way to her”. “给她宽衣沐浴”掌柜语气疲惫道。 „I... I?” Ning Chen stares, cannot be calm immediately, is pointing at itself, stutters to say. “我…我吗？”宁辰一愣,立马不能淡定了,指着自己,结结巴巴道。 „Isn't you are I?” The storekeepers have flung a few words, then very natural walks toward the room outside. “不是你还是我吗？”掌柜甩了一句话,然后很自然地朝房外走去。 „Water does not need too hotly, to burn then, the attention time, can not be too short, but can not over double-hour” “水不用太热,微烫即可,注意时间,不得太短,但也不得超过一个时辰” „Good... Good......” bedside, Ning Chen to be silly, the subconscious nod should say. “好…好……”床边,宁辰已经傻了,下意识点头应道。
