Chapter 974 I'm Confused
Chapter 974 I'm confused
After the imperial doctor finished his treatment, he informed Xie Yuan and the others of the situation:
"The most serious injury was the hand. The back of the hand was burned with blisters and the medicine was applied. Although the face was a little red, fortunately it was not a big deal. It may cause a skin to fall off for a few days, but the new skin will be curled and yellow. The hair on the forehead was curled and yellow, which hurt the appearance."
Tomorrow will be the crown prince's ascension ceremony, so the queen and regent will naturally attend.
At that time, all civil and military officials and royal relatives will be present to watch the ceremony. The reason why the imperial physician mentioned this is because on such an important occasion, the queen's appearance is indeed very important.
But more importantly, if someone hadn't stopped her, she would have been burned to death today...
Xie Yuan and the others couldn't help but feel frightened when they heard that the queen was injured so seriously.
"I was confused for a moment and caused such a big disturbance." Queen Feng Boyang said lightly, with a little guilt in her tone.
She sat on the bed, with a screen in front of the bed, and the embroidered mountains and rivers on it were misty, reflecting the shadows of Xie Yuan and others on the opposite side.
Several people obviously looked at each other and were very worried.
Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, walked around from behind the screen, and walked to the queen.
Seeing her hair spread out, with a white cloth wrapped in her hands, a cold face looking at the void with expressionless expression, but her eyes were sad, so she called out carefully:
"Queen..."
Feng Boyang's slender eyes, like smoke, turned around for a moment, looked at Xie Yuan and said gently:
"I'm fine... I won't delay tomorrow's throne ceremony. You guys go back."
Xie Yuan was still very worried, but he didn't know what to say, so he just stood there without moving.
The air became quiet again, and there was a worrying atmosphere everywhere.
Outside the screen, Shen Liuzhen coughed twice in pain and said respectfully:
"The Empress, the Prince is young, and the court needs the Empress to take charge of the overall situation. If something happens to you, people's hearts will be unstable, and things will be really difficult to handle at that time."
He paused and said sincerely:
“…If you’re really sad, just cry loudly, and it will be better to cry.”
Shi Yuhengjia sighed deeply, walked anxiously outside the screen and said:
"To be honest, I always thought that you didn't have that deep feelings for Your Majesty. I was really shocked when I heard the news today.
I don’t know what to say… His Majesty wrote to me that he hopes the queen can be prosperous, prosperous, and safe until she grows old. If you really have deep feelings, don’t let him worry about you.”
After saying that, he stopped, bowed to the screen and bowed, saying:
"Take care, take your leave." Then he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Shen Liuzhen raised his wide sleeves and bowed and said, straightened his body and said:
"A Yuan, please talk to the queen for a while."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xie Yuan stood in front of the queen's bed, and the maid serving the queen next to him, standing there silently wiping his tears.
The queen still sat expressionlessly as if she had lost her soul, looking at the void in a daze.
Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, sat down at the table by himself, and whispered softly after being silent for a while:
"Queen, just say something...what are you thinking?"
Queen Feng Boyang curled her lips and smiled. She smiled very gently, but inexplicably made people feel desolate. She comforted Xie Yuan and said:
"I know, you are afraid that I will commit suicide, so you are determined to follow His Majesty... Don't worry, I won't. I am a greedy person for wealth and honor, and I am so jealous of my life, how can I bear to die?"
Xie Yuan looked at her injured hands and her burnt hair, which was dissipated in a mess. Coupled with her insincere words, it was so sad that she burst into tears. She asked with sobs:
"Since that's the case, why did it before!"
The queen's body froze for a moment, then gently turned her head and said as if nothing had happened:
"Before... I was dazzled before. For some reason, I saw His Majesty in the fire... I wanted to save him, but I was confused."
Xie Yuan's tears fell down with a "whistle".
Since Emperor Wu Lei died, whether she was asleep or awake, she had fantasized many times that she had stopped the emperor from approaching Empress Dowager Bao and prevented the assassination.
Even though she was used to life and death, Wu Lei's death made her very regretful and became a heart-wrenching illness.
She was also pretending not to care, it didn't matter. But after hearing the queen's words, the regret almost killed her.
Xie Yuan lowered his head, held his hand on the table tightly, then walked to the queen's bed, knelt down, and cried:
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."
Queen Feng Boyang turned her eyes, looked at Xie Yuan's head, and was silent for a while with a complicated expression, and said with tears:
"Actually, I hate you in my heart. But it's not what you think. Don't everyone regret it, with a lot of regret... Now, I actually hate myself more than I hate you."
She said, looking at the void again, with a huge pain in her plain tone:
"I regret myself, why did he not cherish his time when he was alive, get closer to him and say more... So why should I cherish my life?
Now I'm the only one left, and I'll have such a long life, what's the point..."
Xie Yuan was even more sad. She reached out and held the queen's uninjured hand, grabbed her hard, as if she wanted to give her strength. After thinking about it, she said:
"Queen, think so... You are alive, Your Majesty is still living in your heart, you can still think of him, recall the time you have experienced, if you die, you will forget him, and then there will be nothing."
When the queen heard this, her eyes turned around and looked at Xie Yuan's sincere eyes. She hadn't spoken for a long time. Her mind was full of little things when she was with Emperor Wu Lei.
After a while, her tears came out silently, and the sound of sobs became louder and louder, saying:
"Yes...you're right, you're right..."
...
...
After Xie Yuan left, the queen's eyes were swollen from crying. She walked to the side hall where she usually handled national affairs.
It was a place where Wu Lei often stayed, with various books and materials piled up in it, as well as memorials and official documents.
Before, whenever Wu Lei went out, she would stay outside the side hall and move a table agent, cautious and humble without giving anyone else any advice.
This time before he went out, he specifically asked someone to move the table inside, and placed it next to the case where he usually handles memorials, saying:
"It was not the beginning. Now our queen has prestige, so there is no need to be so cautious anymore. What's more, I feel sorry for you for being so wronged."
The queen looked at the two tables placed side by side in the hall, thinking about how he said this, and immediately laughed.
However, tears also fell in my eyes.
She walked to the back of her table and sat down, put an exquisite box next to her in the middle, and slowly opened it...
