Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I asked Qiyan: "Is there any difficulty crossing the river?"

Qiyan frowned before she opened her mouth, and her son, Ping'er, who had a loud voice, said, "It's not difficult, it's impossible to get past. My dad is now on the south bank of the river and can't come back."

"what?!"

I was taken aback, and hurriedly turned to look at Qi Qi, only to see a bit of sadness on her face, and nodded: "A Qing, you are a foreigner, probably don't know yet, since one year Many years ago, after those things were repaired on the South Bank, Yangzhou-our places are no longer the same. "

Qiyi is an ordinary woman. She doesn't know much, but I already understand her meaning.

When I was still in the capital, I heard a lot of news from the south. Several states and counties on the south bank of the Yangtze River were occupied by rebel forces, while the big cities of Yangzhou on the north bank seemed ambiguous, although they did not leave the court clearly. Rule, but this situation is actually worse. They have become outposts of insurgent forces-fight, can not fight, because a fight may be pinched inside Yangzhou and the south bank of the river; do not fight, once there is something in the court Moving, they will become a tumor inside the court.

This situation will certainly have a great impact on the local people in Yangzhou.

However, Pinger even said that his father was on the south bank of the Jiang River and could not come back. I felt scalp tingling suddenly and asked Qisao: "Is the exchange on the river already regulated?"

"It's okay to talk about it." Qiyan sighed, and said, "When they started to make trouble earlier, they were indeed in charge. Although the ships crossing the river were checked strictly, they were at least passed; but- -After something happened a year ago, the river was completely cut off, except for soldiers on the south bank crossing the river, and others, even fishing boats, were not allowed to enter the water. "

"Ah?" I frowned and couldn't help but frowned. What happened a year ago? Is it--

There was a flash of light in my head, and I hurriedly asked, "You said something happened a year ago. Is anyone going to cross the river?"

Qi Yan gave me a glance, and nodded: "Yes, I heard that the people of the imperial court almost beat up on the river, but they couldn't pass by at last, the people over there," she said, pointing to the opposite side, It means people on the South Bank, "Well fierce."

I immediately understood that what she said was that before Pei Yuanzhang had sent a group of people, that is, Du Yan, they were going south to cross the river to find a child. What I did not expect was that they were almost against the violent forces. What was unexpected was that because of that operation, it actually affected the traffic on the river.

I hurriedly asked, "After that, no one will be allowed to cross the river?"

"The government office in Yangzhou didn't say anything, but there is no way for the ship to go to a dock on the south bank. My head, originally going to the south bank to handle goods, was isolated there. People can't come back, news I ca n’t pass it, and I do n’t know him— ”She could n’t talk here, her eyes were red, her head was wiped and her eyes wiped. I was about to comfort her, and I heard her gritting her teeth severely:“ Damn it, that's how our family was separated and we don't know when we can see him again. "

I was silent.

Such a similar situation, also happened in the beginning, and this is the Yangzhou City. Because the plague was rampant, Pei Yuanzhang ordered Yangzhou to be divided into two cities, the North and the South, and set aside the infected and healthy people.

But this time ...

At this moment, I just feel confused.

The situation is much more serious than I expected. I thought that as long as I entered Yangzhou, it would be easy to find a child. I did not expect that Jiangshang is still under control. How can I cross the river? This is a big problem.

The bigger problem is that the situation in the Jiangnan region has become this way. It seems that as Fu Baji said before-the chaos in the world cannot be avoided.

After finding Lier, where else can I and her stay?

Thinking of this, I just felt that my heart was twisted, and Qi Qi, who was sitting opposite, was sobbing, and Erya blinked with big eyes, carefully reached out and touched the rough back of her hand on the table, timid. "Mother, don't be sad."

Ping'er on the side also said, "Mother, don't be sad, they won't let us cross the river, we will think of a way, there is always a way."

Before he finished speaking, Qilian changed his face and said loudly, "Pinger, mother won't let you mess around!"

She was so seductive that it scared me. Qi Yan said sternly again: "Have you heard!"

Ping'er lowered his head, um, but I didn't seem convinced by his dark eyes, but just said nothing.

Qi Yan turned his head to me again, apologizing, "I made you laugh."

I hurriedly waved my hands, but I didn't have any feelings of talking. After eating half of the buns in my hand, I could n’t eat anymore. Qixi gave me a rest for a while, and I took out my stuff and went out to sell buns. She came to see me specially, seeing that my face was not good, so let Pinger stay at home to look after me, and asked a few more words, and then went out with the second girl.

Ping'er said she stayed to take care of me. How could a boy of this age be able to sit there? After a while, his figure was no longer visible. I didn't want to bother him. I sat down by the bed for a while and felt uncomfortable. It felt like a burst of heartbeats, making me restless.

I felt something was wrong, cold sweat dripped from my forehead like running water, and my eyes became black again and again. I gritted my teeth and stood on the bedpost, trying to ask Pinger to help me pour some water.

But as soon as I walked out to the door, before I had time to speak, I felt uncomfortable and lowered my head and vomited.

This spit spit out dark.

I spit out the food I just ate just a few times, and I couldn't help but retched. I almost exhausted my hand holding the door frame without letting myself fall.

I didn't know how long it took before finally suppressing the nausea. I could hardly stand upright, but looked down at the filth that I vomited, and my heart sank.

I understand that this is the symptom after poisoning.

I can't eat anymore!

Just after Alan took me poison, I was uncomfortable and had difficulty eating, but how much can still be eaten, but now it looks like this is obviously deeper, if she ca n’t find her detoxification again-

Thinking of this, I was dizzy again. The whole person seemed to be hollowed out. There seemed to be a hand twisting my heart and lungs in my stomach, which made me out of breath. I could only hold the door frame hard to stop myself from passing out. Fortunately, Ping'er came in from outside at this time. When he saw me like this, he hurried to help me: "How are you-are you okay?"

"I ... hmm--"

I didn't dare to speak. He looked at my pale face, hurriedly helped me to the bed and sat down, and poured a glass of water for me. I managed to rinse, which was better. Just looking at the filth in the doorway, a little embarrassed and said, "Sorry, I originally--"

"It's all right."

The child was very neat. He waved his hand and went out with his broom and soot. He cleaned up a few times before returning to my side and said, "Are you better?"

I pursed my lips and nodded, not minding the taste in my mouth, and didn't say anything.

Pinger sat by the bed and looked at me all the time. At this moment he suddenly said, "Aren't you sick?"

I was startled and looked up at him.

His dark eyes kept looking at me: "Right? I don't think you told the truth to my mother."

I can't help but face up to this child.

He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and said he was not too big, but he was small but not too small. Moreover, the boy of this age was very sensitive. Although he was thin and dark, he had firm eyes in those black eyes. The light makes people feel immovable like a rock.

Alas, it makes me feel familiar.

I could not help but have a good feeling for him, but did not answer him directly, but smiled and said, "You haven't told the truth to your mother."

"what?"

"Your mother wants you not to mess around, but did you really agree?"

"..."

"Neither do you."

"..."

"Your mother asked you to stay and take care of me, but you just-where have you been?"

The child froze for a moment, and touched a hand of wet hair still in the mist, and became silent. The two looked at each other for a while, and I calmly said, "You are also trying to find a way to cross the river, aren't you?"

Ping'er lowered his head and bit his lower lip. After a while, he slowly said, "I have only a man in my family. I must help my mother, and I must find my father, and pick him back!"

I asked, "What can you do?"

"There are two ways, the first one is-" he said, but couldn't help but blush, lowered his head, and his original loud voice was lower: "I ... can't swim past ..."

It turned out that he still wanted to swim across the river!

I couldn't help but also took a breather, fortunately he told me! He is still so young, and the Yangtze River is so wide and the current is so rapid that even a master of tide is afraid to try it easily, how dare he do it! In case of drowning, how can Qilian live?

I hurriedly grabbed his wrist and said, "Ping'er, don't mess around! Even adults don't dare to try to swim across the river easily, not to mention you are still young. If there is something wrong with you, the home here is Not even a man, who do you want your mother and sister to rely on? "

Maybe it was the last word that touched him. The child shook it a little and nodded: "I know that, so I didn't dare go again. Last time it was almost-my mother cried for a long time."

No wonder today, when he said that sentence, Qi Yan was so eloquent, for a long time.

I shrugged off the topic and hurriedly asked, "Then you say, what else is there?"

Ping'er looked up at me, and he was a little wary: "You must also cross the river, right?"

"Yes." I nodded and said firmly to him, "Although I have lied to your mother, but that was to protect you, but I didn't lie to you in this matter, I was going to find my daughter, and You need to be like your father. We all have to find our loved ones! "

Pinger kept looking into my eyes, I didn't know how long it was, and finally it seemed like I had identified something, saying, "Okay, I believe in you."

"that--"
