Outside the dormitory, the lead clouds hung low, and the north wind howled. In the dormitory, Wang Guifei, Huang Wei and others also looked at the elderly emperor with anxiety like beating drums in their hearts.

Zhu Di had been taking the pill for three hours, and the expression on his face was becoming more and more painful, which made everyone on the side frightened. Especially Huang Wei, if this makes the emperor have a problem, his few lives will not be enough to compensate......

But the old god Hu is there, and he doesn't seem to be worried about anything abnormal about the emperor at all.

At about the time of the lamp, Zhu Di sat up from the recliner all of a sudden, his face was distorted, and he glanced at Huang Wei with a strange expression.

Huang Wei immediately understood, and hurriedly helped the emperor to get up, and after turning to the screen, he heard a crackling, and a strong stench filled the entire dormitory.

Wang Guifei and the others were so dizzy that they were smoked, but none of them dared to cover their noses, because this was a compliment from His Majesty the Emperor!

It's easy to wait until the taste is not so strong, Zhu Di turned out from behind the screen with Huang Wei's support.

Wang Guifei looked at the emperor with concern, and saw that Zhu Di's expression was obviously much more relaxed, and his steps were much calmer than before.

"Haha, Daoist Hu is really a living immortal!" Zhu Di gave Hu Laodao a thumbs up and showed a smile that had been extremely rare for months: "I really feel much more comfortable!" ”

"The emperor still needs to continue to serve Dan." Hu Laodao smiled reservedly, and said with a bit of arrogance: "After taking the nine-turn eighty-one pills, you will be able to avoid all diseases and prolong your life!" ”

"Haha good! I hope so! Zhu Di laughed heartily and said: "If you can really do this, I will make you a national teacher, and let the Taoist master enjoy the glory of the world." Of course, the Taoist chief is a master of the Tao, and this may not be uncommon. ”

"The emperor will cultivate a few more Taoist temples at that time, which is the merit of the poor Tao." Hu Laodao really has the posture of a master.

"No problem!" Zhu Di readily agreed.

At this time, another eunuch came in outside the door with a happy face, and reported in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, it's snowing!" It's finally snowing heavily! ”

"Oops, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor! Double happiness is coming! Huang Wei slapped his ass almost reflexively.

"Oh?" Zhu Di heard that since the beginning of winter last year, there has been almost no precipitation in the entire north, and a major drought in the coming year seems to be inevitable. Once there is a large-scale disaster, it will be a fatal blow to the finances of the Ming Dynasty that are on the verge of bankruptcy. When Zhu Di heard the belated heavy snowfall, he felt the haze in his heart, and suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he stood up without anyone's support, and said loudly: "Help me go out and have a look!" ”

The emperor who was so excited that everyone had to help him to the door of the dormitory, through the deep doorway, I saw the goose-feather snow falling one after another, and it didn't take long to spread a white carpet for the entire courtyard......

"Good!" Zhu Di nodded happily, his eyes were red and choked: "God has not abandoned me, the destiny of heaven is still in me, not in others......"

Everyone around Zhu Di knows that the reason why the emperor's chronic illness is so serious this time is mostly because of heart disease. What happened in the past year was too heavy for the emperor, and it made this man who was once proud of the world feel like he was going to be crushed......

Everyone also wiped their tears excitedly, scrambling to compliment Zhu Di's words, and Zhu Di, who listened, was overjoyed, feeling that the long-lost strength and ambition had returned to his body.

'Those traitors and traitors who dare to do anything wrong when they think I am about to die, I want you to remember this lesson forever! Zhu Di looked up at the dark and unsightly sky, and shouted silently in his heart: "Those who dare not surrender will die without a place to be buried!" ”。

The blizzard is coming, and the howling north wind rolls up the snow, shrouding the mountains, rivers, roads, and villages of the North China Plain in a white world. In the wind and snow, I couldn't see my five fingers, and I couldn't hear the sound on the other side, but in such a wind and snow, a team of 3,000 people was still trudging north.

This is naturally the army escorting the Buddha Mother into Beijing, and the old eunuch Zhao Ying is riding on a horse, wrapped in a thick fur coat, only revealing a pair of eyes, staring at the prisoner car in front of him. The woman in the prison car, covered in falling snow, had turned into a snowman......

The eunuch in charge on the side asked the old eunuch to dismount and hide in the carriage several times, but Zhao Ying refused. The weather-hardened old eunuch knew very well that the worse the weather, the easier it was to make trouble. He had to keep an eye on the prison cart and not give anyone a chance. In addition to the female prisoners in the prisoner car, the old eunuch was always worried about the team in front of him. It's a pity that the wind and snow are too big, and he can't see that far at all, so he can only ask over and over again: "Wang Xian didn't move there, right?" ”

"Rest assured, the children surrounded him, and he couldn't fly even if he put on his wings." Although he had answered many times, the eunuch in charge still took the trouble to answer. He also suggested with some worries: "Ancestor, I'm afraid this day is not suitable for marching, let's find a place to stay, and wait for the snow to stop before leaving." ”

"It's fine." Zhao Yingxin said that indeed, this ghost weather march really can't go far.

Seeing that Zhao Ying agreed, the eunuch in charge hurriedly ordered him to go down and quickly find a place to camp. After a while, there was a scout return, and there was a Taoist temple not far ahead.

"Just go there!" The eunuch in charge was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted against the wind and snow, and as a result, he poured a northwest wind with snow particles in his belly.

After a mile of difficulty, the Taoist temple located on the mountainside showed its outline in the wind and snow.

When the large group of soldiers and horses surrounded Zhao Ying and his party to the gate of the Taoist temple, the Taoist priests in the temple had already received orders, and they all shrank and waited at the gate tremblingly.

Zhao Ying looked up at the plaque of the Taoist temple, and saw the three ancient characters of 'Ascension Immortal Temple', and then ignored those Taoist priests and rode straight into the mountain gate.

"Go in," the eunuch in charge commanded a group of brocade guards, asking them to push the heavy prisoner cart into the courtyard, and when the prisoner cart stopped, the eunuch in charge hurriedly ran to Zhao Ying's side and listened to the orders of the old ancestor.

The old eunuch stood under the gate of the palace, slowly moving his frozen numb legs, and his eyes did not leave the prisoner car, Tang Sai'er, who seemed to have frozen into a snowman, asked in his mouth: "What about Wang Xian?" ”

"They were placed in a side hospital." The eunuch in charge took the hot tea offered by Lao Dao and gave it to Zhao Ying with both hands.

Zhao Ying took the hot tea, held it in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Please ask him to live in the main hall with our family."

"I've never been cared for so much when I've grown up." Before the old eunuch finished speaking, Wang Xian's sarcastic voice sounded, and I saw him holding a futon and walking out of the side courtyard.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Zhao Ying glanced at the futon in Wang Xian's hand.

"After this cold and snowy night, she has to freeze to death." Wang Xian walked straight to the prisoner car and said coldly: "If she dies, who can afford to be guilty?" ”

The Jinyi guard, who was in charge of guarding the prisoner's car, stubbornly blocked in front of Wang Xian and whispered, "Don't approach." ”

"Get out of the way!" Wang Xian snorted coldly, and slapped the brocade guard to the ground.

The other brocade guards didn't dare to step forward, but they didn't dare to just get out of the way, and they all looked at the old eunuch timidly.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and send the quilt over for your uncle." Zhao Ying glanced at the eunuch on the side.

The eunuch woke up like a dream, hurriedly ran to Wang Xian, pressed the futon with both hands, and said with a smile: "How can you work Uncle in this little thing, let's come here." ”

Wang Xian stared coldly at the eunuch for a while, but finally let go of his hand.

The eunuch in charge touched the entire quilt and didn't find any foreign objects in it, so he nodded to Zhao Ying and stuffed the quilt into the prisoner car.

In the prisoner car, Tang Sai'er, who was already covered in snow, rolled his eyes for a while, slowly pulled the quilt in front of him, and then wrapped it tightly around his body......

Wang Xian looked at Tang Sai'er's frozen appearance, his face was extremely gloomy, and then turned to leave.

"Uncle, please go to the main hall and squeeze it." Behind him, the voice of the old eunuch sounded: "Why don't we come to your place and squeeze it?" ”

"I'm ashamed." Wang Xian didn't look back and said, "If you dare to come, come." ”

"Humph!" Eunuchs will leak urine because of the purification of their bodies, because there is always a lingering smell of urine on their bodies, which is also the most taboo place for eunuchs to mention others. Now that Wang Xian openly mentioned it, Zhao Ying's face was gloomy, staring at his back hatefully, gritting his teeth and speechless.

As for going to Wang Xian's side courtyard to monitor on the spot, the old eunuch didn't dare to do it - there were hundreds of guns in that courtyard! He was shot once by Wang Xian and his wife with a musket, and he had already fallen into a psychological shadow......

"You bring someone with you," Zhao Ying looked at the eunuch in charge, and ordered in a deep voice: "You must not let him leave the courtyard one step!" ”

"Yes." The eunuch in charge had no choice but to take on this difficult task......

In the side courtyard, there are three south rooms and two side rooms, which are full of Wang Xian and his men, and the people of Dongchang can only squat in the courtyard. At night, the north wind was blowing, the snow foam crackled and the people were dizzy, and the Dongchang fans couldn't make a fire, so they could only huddle into a ball, shivering from the cold, and their whole bodies soon lost consciousness......

In the house, the firewood was burning, and at least it was warm by the fire. Wang Xian helped Gu Xiaolian sit down by the fire, wrapped her tightly with a fur coat, and checked again that there would be no air leaks. Then he squatted beside the fire and carefully boiled medicine for her. These jobs, he never pretended to be the hands of Dai Hua and others, originally Tang Sai'er was there, he could still help him, but now he does it himself from beginning to end.

After serving Gu Xiaolian, Wang Xian ate a few mouthfuls of food hastily, then took Gu Xiaolian in his arms, wrapped it tightly in a fur coat, looked at the jumping fire, and hummed a little song for her in a low voice, which Gu Xiaolian once sang to him......

"The snowflakes are fluttering, and the plum blossoms are like musk bursts of incense.

Snowflakes fall on the plum tops,

The plum blossoms burst before putting the incense.

Plum hair is snow-white, snow hair is plum fragrant,

The two of us, our relatives and children are like ......"
