Chapter 9 The Bright Prince Bai Sheng
Bai Sheng was poisoned, a very peculiar poison, the body will have uncontrollable convulsions during the attack, the head and feet are against each other, curled up into a bow, and he can't speak or move, otherwise it will only aggravate the convulsions, and he will bleed from time to time, and the pain in the abdomen is unbearable as if someone is stirring with a blunt knife, and he was tortured to weakness in just two days, and finally he didn't know whether to fall asleep or faint, and he didn't think that he would find a way to live in his dream.
Bai Shengmo was confused, as if he had seen his nurse, just like the beautiful face in his childhood memory, with a gentle and doting smile on his lips, gently caressing his head and patting his back, as if coaxing him to sleep.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" a soft and pleasant voice seemed to drift into your ears from afar, "Your Highness, don't be afraid, it will be fine." ”
Bai Sheng's nose was a little sour, when he was sick when he was a child, the nurse would comfort him like this, coax him to take medicine, coax him to sleep, take care of him, and the little Bai Sheng would always get better quickly. But this time it's different, nurse, Bai Sheng is about to die, and no one can save him. Bai Sheng was very aggrieved and wanted to cry to the nurse, but only then did he find that his body was heavy and stiff, he couldn't open his mouth, and he couldn't even move his body.
The nurse seemed to understand what he meant, held his face with both hands, stared at his eyes, and said, "Your Highness will be fine, and the slave will not let Your Highness have anything." Hurry up and remember...... I must remember it. ”
A sound of advice came straight into his mind, and Bai Sheng was smart and sober. The nurse has been dead for many years, and the assassin in the palace that year, the assassin mixed into Yuefu and assassinated at the family banquet, and the Duan concubine at that time hugged the waist of an assassin to save her father, and was picked off the meridians of her legs, and later became a Duan concubine, and has been raised in Ruijing Palace. In order to protect him, the nurse was pierced through the chest by the assassin's sword, and the hot blood splashed all over his face. When he was dying, the nurse also held his little face like this, gently wiped the blood on his face with her sleeve, and tried her best to comfort him without words: "Your Highness, don't be afraid, it's okay, slave maid...... No...... Let Your Highness ...... Something...... Target...... Not...... It's over, Your Highness...... It's okay...... ......"
Bai Sheng suddenly blessed his soul, and he remembered the story that the nurse used to tell when she coaxed him to sleep. The grandmother's great-grandmother is from the Helian family, it seems that after the death of her husband, she was involved by her uncle who violated the clan rules, and was expelled from the clan by the Helian clan, and the specific nurse can't remember clearly, but I remember that she passed down a booklet full of secrets of the wild history of the Helian family, due to the age, the booklet has been rolled up, and some of them are broken, but the things recorded above are strange and interesting, among them, the "Zhongxing family master" Helian Bi is particularly impressed by the strange poison in the body. The young self didn't understand the description at that time, so the nurse learned to show him, which made Bai Sheng laugh more than once, and pestered the nurse every day for many days to learn him. At that time, it seemed strange and ridiculous that the poisonous posture was exactly the same as his own at the moment! Bai Sheng felt that maybe it was really the nurse who was guiding him in a dream in the sky, so he didn't care about the pain and discomfort in his body, struggled to sit up and shouted loudly to his henchmen with all his might: "Go to Helian City! Go to Helian City!! Naturally, Bai Sheng also paid a painful price for this reckless move, and in the next hour, Bai Sheng's hands kept reaching the instep uncontrollably, bleeding from seven holes, and his body was constantly twisted and bent, and he almost died of exhaustion.
The "seriously ill" prince went out to seek medical treatment, which was a very high-risk thing that could easily damage the face of the royal family, and the emperor didn't want to agree, but in the face of Concubine Li, whose eyes were red and swollen and haggard, and Bai Sheng, who couldn't see half of his past demeanor at all, finally couldn't bear to see him die in such pain. After weighing it repeatedly, the emperor nodded and agreed, and sent a team of guards to escort him all the way for safety.
Helian City is the place of origin of the Helian clan. A long, long time ago, the Helian clan rose from here as merchants and gradually grew stronger, although it was far less than today's rich country, but it could also be called the rich one. At that time, the Helian clan was not yet famous for pampering their daughters. A man in the clan can only marry one wife, and the person he marries must be a woman of the clan, and he is not allowed to take concubines or have an affair with a woman with a foreign surname. Perhaps it is precisely because of such rules that the Helian clan has become more and more prosperous. Until more than a thousand years ago, the then head of the Helian family ignored the clan rules and accepted a woman with a foreign surname as a concubine, and since then he has been extremely favored, and the men in the clan have also followed suit. Finally, one day, the Helian clan was convicted, fled to death, and was shattered. Some people say that it is because of the confusion and instigation of the concubines that finally caused dissent in the clan, some people say that it is because the concubines with foreign surnames planted the blame, and some people say that those charming and bewitching concubines were sent by the opponents of the Helian clan, just to grasp the secret evidence of the Helian clan...... There are different opinions, but without exception, the spearhead is directed at women with foreign surnames who should not appear in the clan. What the truth is, I am afraid that only those who have long since turned to dust can tell clearly. There is no detailed record of this matter in the family history of the Helian clan, but since then, there has been an additional line after the family rules that strictly prohibit marrying and accepting women with foreign surnames: violators will be castrated, exiled, and removed from the family tree forever.
Decades later, the Helian clan miraculously prospered again from this land, both in speed and scale than before, later generations called it "Helian Zhongxing", and it was from then on, the women of the Helian clan were carefully raised and cared for.
As the Helian clan prospered, their dwellings continued to expand and the population grew, and eventually, the Helian clan settled in a city that became known as the "City of Helian". It was a castle that belonged entirely to the Helian clan, and it is rumored that there were also inner and outer cities, and the outermost gate was made of stainless steel. The outer city was built just over 200 years ago and mainly hosts partners and other visitors. The city's contacts with the outside world are all in the outer city, and usually those with foreign surnames can only enter the first gate, and it is difficult to know what it is like to go deeper.
The moment he stepped into Helian City, Bai Sheng in the carriage was so shocked that he even forgot to reach for the instep of his feet. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the lively streets are full of people, shops, restaurants, tea shops, theaters, and ...... The whole nine yards. The cries of hawkers and the voices of pedestrians constitute a peaceful and warm picture. The people in the city are warm and thoughtful, the road is not forgotten, the old man is kind, the child knows the courtesy, and the peaceful and prosperous times are nothing more than that.
