Chapter Ninety-Five: The Edge of Heaven Is Unrecognizable
In the Fen Kingdom, in the palace of the king of Fen, Cui Dongtian was sitting opposite Xu Dong and discussing something, when suddenly an attendant came in with a bow and handed Xu Dong a letter, and said respectfully: "Mr. Xu Dong, this is an urgent letter to you from Dongcheng, please take a look." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
As soon as Xu Dong heard the word Dongcheng, a trace of joy flashed between his eyebrows - he immediately took the letter and opened it to read.
But after he read the letter quickly, the joy dimmed little by little.
Cui Dongtian looked at the thin paper in Xu Dong's hand curiously and asked, "What is that?"
Xu Dong slowly put away the letter and briefly described what was said in the letter.
"What?!"
After listening to Xu Dong's words, Cui Dongtian's expression changed suddenly, and he jumped up directly, "You just said...... What does the letter say?!"
Xu Dong's eyebrows frowned slightly, but he still patiently repeated unhurriedly: "Dongcheng's father wrote that Princess Cong was critically injured. β
I saw Cui Dongtian seem to be distracted, and he slumped on the chair one by one, his eyes were empty, and he was in a trance.
Xu Dong squinted his eyes and looked at Cui Dongtian, and said coldly: "Brother Dongtian, isn't he really interested in that princess, right? But don't forget what our purpose is, if there is no princess, the plan may be better." Brother Higashida-"
Speaking of this, Xu Dong deliberately lengthened his voice: "Don't delay the recovery, the country, the greatness, and the industry because of the love of children." β
Xu Dong said the four words of the great cause of recovering the country very seriously, and these four words seemed to wake up Cui Dongtian, who was stunned for a while.
Cui Dongtian realized that he was a little out of shape, so he sat upright with a solemn face, clenched his fists and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment and embarrassment.
After a while, Cui Dongtian raised his eyes to look at Xu Dong and asked cautiously, "That's ...... So what are we going to do now?"
Xu Dong got up, his eyes were cold: "I have to go to Dongcheng in person now." β
==============================================
In the courtyard of Chenghuan Palace, Xu Zhou was explaining the medicine to the princess to several doctors with a serious expression, and then he saw a person dressed as an entourage coming over and leaning into Xu Zhou's ear and saying something.
After Xu Zhou heard this, he was stunned, and then there was some anger on his face.
He walked a little farther away with his entourage, lowered his voice and asked, "He said that the Blood Condensation Pill has already been used?!, he said that he wants to go back to Dongcheng?"
The attendant nodded cautiously.
Xu Zhou looked into the distance and pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "That's it, you step back first." β
After retiring from his entourage, Xu Zhou led several other doctors into Gu Wanyan's dormitory.
Her room was already filled with the smell of herbs, and even the slightest breath was painful into her nostrils.
I saw Gu Wan's face pale, her eyes closed, lying there motionless. If it weren't for the slight and even fluctuation of her breathing, it would have been almost impossible to tell whether the quiet woman was alive or dead in the eyes of others.
Wanwan had already fallen asleep tiredly, and the little guy was lying next to Gu Wanyan's head, sleeping deeply with his eyes closed.
Xu Zhou sighed softly, and the others didn't know what this meant.
At this time, Loulan Zhen had just finished reading the recital, and also came to Chenghuan Hall to visit Gu Wanyan.
"His Royal Highness has arrived!"
Xu Zhou and the others listened and hurriedly walked out of the house.
"Ministers, see His Royal Highness. β
Loulan Zhen's face was haggard, obviously not resting well. He waved his hand lightly and said tiredly, "No excuses." How is the princess now?"
Xu Zhou straightened up and shook his head slightly: "The injury is too serious, so the princess has not woken up, the healing of the wound is not very good, and it has hurt her internal organs - but the princess's breath is very stable, and it is very strange that there seems to be an indescribable qi in her body supporting her, so she is not in danger for the time being." It's just that the princess has not shown the slightest sign of waking up, and the minister is worried that it will still endanger her life after a long time....."
Lou Lanzhen closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and frowned even more.
After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "The deity is going to see her." β
Walking to the door of Gu Wanyan's room with light steps, and then gently lifting the door curtain to enter, Lou Lanzhen saw the lifeless Gu Wanyan at a glance.
When the servant girl saw Loulan really coming, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Lou Lanzhen looked at Gu Wanyan with her eyes and asked the maidservant, "Has the Holy Master of Yufeng ever been here?"
"His Royal Highness, no. β
Lou Lanzhen stroked her forehead helplessly, and then turned her eyes to see the fluffy bends curled up in a ball.
He walked over and gently picked up the bend and gently stroked its back.
I twisted my body but didn't wake up.
Lou Lan really thought for a moment and said, "Send this little guy to the Yufeng Saint Master for the time being, it's not suitable to stay here now." β
==========================
Two and a half days later, Xu Dong returned to Dongcheng.
As soon as he returned to Dongcheng, he did not immediately return to Yunji Hall, but went to Gu Mansion first.
The carriage stopped in front of the door of the Gu Mansion, he lifted the curtains, and saw that the gate of the Gu Mansion was closed and locked by an iron lock, and the front of the door had been uncleaned for a long time.
Looking at it like this, the people of the Gu Mansion did move away.
So where is Gu Wanyan, and where has she gone?
"Cousin, we ......"
Xu Dong waved his hand a little weakly: "Go back to Yunji Hall." β
In Yunji Hall, his father Xu Zhou had been waiting for Xu Dong for a long time.
As soon as Xu Dong entered the study and saw his father, he immediately stepped forward respectfully: "Father." β
Xu Zhou nodded slightly, he watched his son, whom he hadn't seen for many days, lose a little weight, and he couldn't help but feel a thorn in his heart. Then Xu Zhou patted Xu Dong on the shoulder: "Talking inside." β
Xu Dong nodded, and then the two of them entered the innermost room of the study together.
After the two sat down together, Xu Dong poured tea for his father and said slowly: "Now the princess who was supposed to be close to each other was suddenly seriously injured and didn't wake up, which is actually a good thing for us, and my son thinks that we ......."
Speaking of this, Xu Zhou suddenly interrupted Xu Dong's words: "Let's not talk about this matter for the time being, you can tell me first, what is the matter with the Blood Condensation Pill?"
Xu Dong listened and fell silent unexpectedly.
Xu Zhou frowned, and continued to ask: "How can you use the Blood Returning Pill without permission? Why didn't you tell me about it? Do you still have my father in your eyes?"
"No, father, of course I have a father in my heart. Xu Dong said solemnly, "This time, the Blood Condensation Pill was used by me to rescue a girl's life. She was seriously injured and fell asleep, and her life was in danger, so I was in the first aid and did not tell my father in time. β
Xu Zhou shook his head coldly, did not speak, just put his hand on Xu Dong's wrist.
Xu Dong was obviously panicked and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Xu Zhou tried harder, Xu Dong failed to take it, and only let Xu Zhou take his pulse.
After a while, Xu Zhou put his hand down, a little angry.
"The Blood Condensation Pill is a sacred relic of our clan, it has been hundreds of years since the past, this elixir is condensed by the blood of each patriarch after death with the help of secret techniques, the older the age, the stronger the spiritual effect of this elixir. Due to the tribulation in the past, now only this last one is leftβnot to mention how precious this Blood Condensation Pill is, don't you know how to use it?"
Xu Dong listened and said slowly: "I know." It must be melted back into the blood condensation pill by mixing warm water with the pure blood of our blood, and then evenly applied to every acupuncture point on the patient's body. β
Xu Zhou saw that Xu Dong was not in a hurry and was furious: "You still know! Spending so much blood at one time is simply costing half of your life! You say, if you have any mistakes yourself, what should you do if you tell me? What should you do if you call the elders of the Xu clan who have lasted until now!"
Xu Dong lowered his head, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant: "I'm fine, my life is at stake, I don't have a choice, please forgive my father." β
Xu Zhou slapped the table angrily, and the muscles on his face shook unnaturally: "Who is so important? I have long said that such things should be used in the most important place! Do you remember, once your mother ...... I ...... both."
Hearing this, Xu Dong suddenly interrupted heavily: "Don't say it." β
Xu Zhou remembered the past, sighed heavily, and his eyes were full of sadness.
Xu Dong restrained his emotions in his heart, trying to make himself not impulsive, but when he mentioned that incident, he still couldn't help but blurt out: "When my mother was dying, I should have used the Blood Condensation Pill to save her, but because of what righteousness, what must be saved with the Ning Dan, you gave up on your mother! Although the situation at that time was a disaster of extermination, but it was not possible to save one more mother and one less elder?"
After Xu Zhou heard this, he slapped Xu Dong hard without saying anything, and a crisp sound sounded, and his own eyes were red.
"You unfilial son!" Xu Zhou shouted angrily, "You are now shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving the Xu clan, think about what you just said, you are not worthy of the dead clansmen!"
Xu Dong's movements froze, he didn't look at Xu Zhou, and said: "I just feel that in the face of the dying life of my beloved, I must do my best to save her." My father couldn't do that, but I could. β
With that, he got up and walked away.
Xu Zhou was stunned, his eyes full of helplessness and sorrow. He slowly picked up the teacup in front of him, but his hand trembled, and the cup was not close to his mouth, but the tea was half spilled.
===========================================
At night, the ice wind returned from outside, and Xu Dong hurriedly asked him if he had heard the news of Gu Wanyan.
It's a pity that Bingfeng still has no clue - he almost runs around inside and outside Dongcheng every day, but he doesn't find out a little about Gu Wanyan's whereabouts.
Xu Dong was disappointed after hearing this, but for a moment, more worry welled up in his heart. How can a living person be gone if he can't say it's gone?
Did she leave without saying a word, or did something happen to her.....?
Just as he was thinking, Xu Dong felt footsteps approaching, and he immediately turned around, but saw Xu Zhou coming.
Thinking of the things of the day, Xu Dong still felt a pimple in his heart, but he still bowed his head respectfully and said in a low voice: "Father." β
Xu Zhou said: "I heard what you and Bingfeng said. That woman named Gu Wanyan is the person you are willing to spend your heart and blood to save. β
Xu Dong lowered his eyes and nodded.
"I've heard you mention this girl before. If you don't say it, your father has already seen it, and you must have deep feelings for her in your heart. This father's voice is no longer as tough as during the day, but has a little more of a father's kindness.
Xu Dong didn't say anything, and when he mentioned Gu Wanyan, his heart became heavier and heavier.
Suddenly, Xu Dong thought of something, raised his head and said to Xu Zhou: "By the way, father-do you want to save that princess with the Blood Returning Pill?"
Xu Zhou nodded: "Not bad." β
Xu Dong frowned, obviously unable to understand: "Father, don't you think that if this princess can die just now, it will be more beneficial to us? If there is no peace with King Fen, our plan can go smoothly along the original trajectory." β
Xu Zhou also seemed a little distressed, he thought for a while, and said: "That's what I said, but, I've thought about it carefully, Loulan has always been cautious and thoughtful, and he is very concerned about this princess at present. I'm worried that if the princess is not saved, he will come to blame the imperial hospital, and if he comes to check the imperial hospital, then those things that we have done privately and cannot let him know may be exposed. Therefore, I think it is better to save the princess, anyway, Loulan really wants to use a peace and kiss strategy, and it is probably just to ease up. β
After Xu Dong listened, he was about to say something, but Xu Zhou spoke again: "Also, actually...... I can't bear it, the princess is actually innocent, after all, we are healers...... Hey!"
Xu Dong said resolutely: "Father, at this time, we can't worry so much, if we take everyone into account, then what is the purpose of everything we do? As for Loulan Zhen's side...... Father, you think too much, if the princess is really as seriously injured as you said, then it is the general trend that she can't be saved. In addition, she was stabbed by someone, if the princess died, Loulan would really go to investigate the person who injured her, and would not come to the trouble of the imperial hospital. β
What Xu Dong said is reasonable. After Xu Zhou listened, he didn't refute it anymore and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Xu Dong opened his mouth quietly, with a hint of viciousness between the lines: "This Princess Cong must die." β
