Xuan Yan Gu Zheng

Two guards stepped forward, pulling Yong'er roughly.

Yong'er was hurt and cried out.

Xuanyan immediately compromised and said: "Gu Zheng, I'll give you the folk prescription right away, don't touch him!"

Gu Zheng's thin lips were slightly curved, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

"I don't believe you."

Yong'er was tied up and thrown to the ground, and buckets of well water were poured over his head, making him cry non-stop in the cold,

"Enough, enough! Don't torture him anymore!" Xuanyan screamed helplessly, heartbroken.

The torture didn't stop until Yong'er's face turned from pale to red, and Gu Zheng waved his hands lazily.

"Queen, let's make some medicine."

Xuan Yan was let go, and stumbled to the palace wall, pulling out a few plantains that could be seen everywhere.

This is a folk prescription that a military doctor at the border taught her to quickly reduce fever. Wash, cut, mash, filter the grass juice with warm water, and then add some sugar.

It tasted sweet and astringent, Yong'er smacked his lips after drinking it.

The chief eunuch took the jar of medicine in his hands and sent it to the First Prince.

Gu Zheng scoffed: "If you obediently hand it over from the beginning, Yong'er won't have to suffer."

Xuan Yan clenched her hands in her sleeves into fists, and the hatred in her heart spread boundlessly.

"Yes, courtiers and concubines should not disobey the emperor."

Gu Zheng chased after the victory, "If you are obedient and tell me where Mu Qing is, I will never make things difficult for you siblings again, how about it?"

"The concubine needs time to think about it."

"After the autumn hunt, give me the answer."

The one-month ban in Zhengyang Palace flew by, and then it happened to catch up with the last hunt of the year.

The wound on Yong'er's head had scabbed over, and the gauze was removed, and at first glance it looked the same as before, but everyone knew that he would never come back.

While arranging the clothes and supplies needed for the trip, the female officer couldn't help complaining: "It's been so many days, and the First Prince hasn't even apologized."

Xuan Yan forced a smile, the heart in his chest seemed to be numb.

She didn't bring Yong'er with her, and left the most trusted palace servant to take care of her.

Hunting ground, palace.

Xuanyan has no interest in hunting, it is purely a foil.

On the contrary, even though Concubine Lan, who was pregnant with Liujia, could not play, she put on a Hu suit that was convenient for riding and shooting to join in the fun, and even combed her hair in a manly bun.

The emperor especially liked this kind of attire, and his eyes showed admiration and love undisguised.

The other concubines also imitated Concubine Lan and wore men's clothes, but Gu Zheng's reaction was flat, and he still only had favor with Concubine Lan.

Xuan Yan turned her eyes away, not watching those scenes of rivalry for favor.

Soon, none of this mattered to her.

No, it never mattered.

A gust of wind blows over, bringing with it a desolate coolness.

It's going to be winter.

"General Mu Qing!"

A familiar voice interrupted Xuan Yan's absence.

Turning her head to look over, her plain eyes widened suddenly.

"Wu Ji, when did you return to the capital?"

"At the beginning of the month! I was still thinking about how to meet the general, but here I am!" Wu Ji's bronzed face was flushed, and he was very excited.

Xuan Yan hurriedly reminded: "Keep down, don't let people hear you, the 'General' has already passed."

Speaking of this, she couldn't hide the melancholy in her eyes.

"Empress Empress... I really miss those days in the frontier fortress. You shouldn't be a bird in a cage... I don't know when we will meet next time."

Wu Ji also fell down. He was stationed at the border and came back rarely.

But it doesn't matter, what matters is that he can see that she is very unhappy.

Xuanyan almost beat him on the shoulder out of habit, but held back forcefully, and said with a smile: "It's hard to see each other, be happy."

Gu Zheng in the distance frowned when he saw Xuan Yan talking with a guard.

After all, they didn't talk for long, and the man respectfully left.

Turning around and showing his face, Gu Zheng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, his face was familiar, where did he see it?

He was always suspicious, so he ordered: "Go, call that guard over for questioning."
