Chapter 302: Heartache
It's no wonder that the elite of the Heavenly Killer can't get in by all means, it turns out that in addition to the strict guards inside and outside, there are many potential traps, and if you are not careful, you may not be able to escape.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng paid more attention to everything around him with the corner of his eye, and secretly remembered the armament here.
And on this side, Concubine Duan took her all the way to the attic, and a row of guards at the door had already seen Concubine Duan and Chu Yunsheng who were brought over by the general tie from a distance, so they naturally didn't dare to stop at this time, and hurriedly gave way.
When the door was opened, there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine, which made people frown.
And at this time, before he saw the person behind the hurried curtain, Chu Yunsheng's heart had already risen a bad premonition.
Could it be that my aunt is really seriously ill?
Thinking of this, she only felt that her heartbeat had missed half a beat, and the palms that she subconsciously clenched tightly together were also a piece of ** at this time.
In contrast, Concubine Duan was much calmer than her, and when the door was opened, she turned her eyes to the guards outside the door and ordered: "This palace and Her Royal Highness the princess have something to say, you go downstairs and wait." β
Hearing this, the guards looked at each other, but in the end, when they saw the indisputable coercion in Concubine Duan's eyes, they gave up the struggle, turned around and left the door directly, and when they left, someone else closed the door.
When there was only the person lying on the hospital bed through the heavy curtain in the huge room, as well as Chu Yunsheng and Concubine Duan, Chu Yunsheng could hear his pounding heartbeat more and more clearly.
At this time, she couldn't wait to step forward with an arrow to see if the person behind the curtain was her aunt and what her situation was, but at this time, even if she knew that she was close at hand, she felt that the steps under her feet were like a thousand pounds, and she couldn't move a single step.
Concubine Duan didn't seem to notice Chu Yunsheng's strange appearance at this time, she stepped forward first, raised her hand to lift the curtain, walked to the bedside, and said to the person on the sickbed: "Your Royal Highness Princess, have you felt better recently?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng also recovered from the struggle and nervousness, she immediately lifted her steps and stepped forward, and when she opened the curtain and walked to Concubine Duan, when she saw the haggard woman on the hospital bed, her heart immediately seemed to be stabbed with a needle.
It hurts so much that it's hard to breathe.
Although, before coming here, she had imagined that it was possible for King Wei to spread the news of recruiting famous doctors in the world, because her aunt was indeed sick, although she was also prepared for this, but at this time, when she saw the woman in front of her who seemed to have been pulled out of her soul, she was still shocked, still surprised, however, more heartache.
How did her aunt become what she is now?
Last time, even in King Zhao's Palace, even if she was poisoned by He Rong, her spirit was still good, especially those eyes were extraordinary, and Zhou also had a fierce and inviolable noble temperament, and the woman on the hospital bed now had a sallow complexion, and her two eye sockets were deeply sunken first, and she was at least thirty years old compared to her previous stunning look.
And what kind of experience did she have, and what kind of illness would she be tortured like this?
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng's tears fell uncontrollably.
She didn't care that Concubine Duan was beside the bed at this time, so she stepped forward quickly, and raised her hand to put her hand on her aunt's pulse.
And Chu Yunsheng's sudden move not only surprised Concubine Duan, but also made Xiao Yijun, who had just turned her eyes and looked at her, also stunned, her eyes were circulating on Chu Yunsheng, even if Chu Yunsheng had changed his face at this time, but since she first saw Chu Yunsheng in front of her, there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy, and this intimacy was only experienced in Chu Yunsheng.
Therefore, even if he changed his face, Xiao Yijun thought of Chu Yunsheng at that moment, especially when he saw Chu Yunsheng rushing over desperately, and seeing that her eyes were already full of distress and pain, Xiao Yijun became more and more sure of his guess.
However, she didn't point it out, but raised her eyes to look at another woman with a stunned expression on the side of the bed, Chunxiao.
"Much better, thank you for coming to see me. β
Xiao Yijun raised her eyes to look at Chunxiao, although her eyes were no longer as radiant as in the past, and they were no longer as smart as before, but they had an aura that people couldn't ignore, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, showing a smile, and then she looked at Concubine Duan and said, "You have a heart." β
It's good that she didn't say this, but as soon as she said this, Concubine Duan couldn't control herself anymore, and fell directly in front of Xiao Yijun's hospital bed, and then choked up: "It's all my fault, Your Royal Highness Princess, it's me who is not good...... I shouldn't have left your side, otherwise you wouldn't be like this, and now there is no one to take care of around you, so you can scold me, if you scold me, I will feel better......"
Hearing this, Xiao Yijun still had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she shook her head and said: "This is your life, your choice, I don't blame you, and besides, I have treated you as my child for so many years, so how can I be willing to blame you." β
Before Xiao Yijun's words fell, Concubine Duan couldn't help but hug the corner of Xiao Yijun's clothes and cried bitterly.
On the side, Chu Yunsheng, who had already taken the pulse of Xiao Yijun, was as pale as earth at this time.
The moment her fingertips reached her pulse, she felt that the world suddenly fell apart, and all happiness fell apart in an instant......
Although she had already expected that hatred was possible, although she had also thought that her aunt might also be seriously ill, she did not expect that her illness would be so serious, and in the final analysis, she was not sick, but poisonous...... It's already in the heart, and there is no way to go back!
The last time He Rong poisoned her, her body meridians had already been hit hard, and that time she walked through the Ghost Gate Pass dangerously, also because Master Yuanchen took her aunt to Liao Kingdom, and traveled thousands of miles to find a way to detoxify, but although the poison was resolved, but her aunt's body collapsed, and since then, she can't withstand the slightest heavy blow, let alone such a violent poison!
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng's eyes were filled with a trace of hatred in addition to sorrow, she was wondering who caused this poison?!
Seeing Chunxiao like this now, Chu Yunsheng also wanted to know more and more the truth of the matter, what happened, Chunxiao would marry King Wei, his aunt was under house arrest, where did Master Yuanchen go? A series of questions lingered in Chu Yunsheng's mind.
At this time, Xiao Yijun turned his eyes to look at Chu Yunsheng and said, "This girl, why do I think you are so familiar?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng almost burst into tears, she took a deep breath, then blinked her eyes and looked at Concubine Duan next to her and said, "I want to talk to Her Royal Highness the princess alone for a while." β
Hearing this, Concubine Duan's eyes were still filled with tears, she glanced at Xiao Yijun, then looked at Chu Yunsheng, and finally nodded, then turned around and walked out of the house, waiting outside.
After she left, Chu Yunsheng threw herself in front of Xiao Yijun again, and her tears could no longer be held back and burst down the embankment.
Seeing this, Xiao Yijun's eyes also overflowed with tears, she stretched out her hand with great effort, gently covered Chu Yunsheng's back, and then patted it, and said softly: "I know, you are Ah Sheng, right?"
Before she said this, Chu Yunsheng's heart seemed to have been stabbed with a knife, and it hurt more and more, and she was really as intimate as her aunt, she could see through her disguise at a glance, and recognized her at a glance, she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yijun with teary eyes, and choked up while nodding: "Yes, it's me, aunt, I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm sorry, I'm late......"
said sorry over and over again, but it still couldn't alleviate the guilt and sadness in Chu Yunsheng's heart at this time.
If she had come to her aunt earlier, would she not have been harmed like this?
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng blinked vigorously, forced back the tears in his eyes, and then looked at Xiao Yijun and said, "Auntie, tell me, who did it? Who caused you to be like this? And what is going on with all this, how did you come back from Liao, and Weiguo became the situation it is now?"
Facing Chu Yunsheng's series of questions, Xiao Yijun's expression was very calm, she shook her head and said: "It's okay, I know my body, even if no one poisons me, I can't withstand any toss when I come back from Liao Country that time, and I may not be able to survive this winter."
Although she said this, Chu Yunsheng still didn't believe it, she felt that something was wrong, and Master Yuanchen would not lie to her.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng hurriedly said, "What about Master Yuanchen? Where is he now? Didn't he leave the Liao Kingdom with you unharmed? What happened in the middle?"
At the mention of Master Yuanchen, a trace of amazement crossed Xiao Yijun's face, she sighed, and said after a long time: " I don't know where he is, as soon as we returned to Liao, we were forced to separate, and then someone threatened me with his safety, asking me to stop meddling in the affairs of the Weiguo court, and at that time I returned to Weiguo, I originally wanted to hand over the last remaining things that were not explained to your little uncle, at that time, I saw him, that is, his body was already well, and he could take charge of himself, so no matter whether someone used him as a threat or not, I didn't plan to meddle in the affairs of the Weiguo Dynasty againβ¦β¦β
Speaking of this, Xiao Yijun coughed violently, and as her chest rose and fell and coughed aggravated, the corners of her mouth gradually overflowed with a trace of scarlet.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng hurriedly raised his hand to help her up, changed her to a more comfortable position, and then raised his hand to help her calm down.
This made her cough ease a bit.
When she coughed enough, Chu Yunsheng tore off her handkerchief again and carefully wiped the blood stains from the corners of her mouth for her.
Xiao Yijun always looked at Chu Yunsheng with a gentle smile on her face, she sighed, and then said: "What I can't let go of now is you and Yuanchen, and now that you are by my side, it also makes me have a worry." β
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng couldn't hold back any longer, and directly shed tears, she leaned on Xiao Yijun's side, and choked up: "Auntie will be fine, you tell me the clues about Master Yuanchen, who is threatening you to stop meddling in the affairs of the DPRK and China? I will definitely rescue Master Yuanchen." β
Hearing this, Xiao Yijun didn't speak, but a trace of pain and struggle crossed her eyes.
This kind of expression made Chu Yunsheng see clearly, she moved, then sat up straight on the edge of the bed and looked at Xiao Yijun seriously: "Is it King Wei?"
Chu Yunsheng's voice was very light, although it was a question, but with a firm tone.
Hearing this, Xiao Yijun was stunned, and then she shook her head and said: "You don't need to worry about these things, and don't think about avenging me or anything, I just hope you can live well, but I don't want you to take risks for your master Yuanchen, I believe that Yuanchen definitely doesn't want you to take such a risk for him, and now my aunt can meet you, that's enough." β
Although my aunt did not affirm Chu Yunsheng's guess, it had indirectly confirmed Chu Yunsheng's guess.
Sure enough, it's King Wei!
In fact, she knew from the beginning that apart from him, who else could frame her aunt in the country, and who else would have the right to put her aunt under house arrest in the princess's mansion?
Wei Wang ...... Her little uncle...... In the past, his aunt gave up everything for him and struggled to support this huge kingdom alone, but now, once he recovers his senses, the first thing he will do is to take revenge?
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng's mind came to mind that day in the valley, he was about to wake up, standing under the apricot blossom tree, that pure boy in fragrant clothes.
Who would have thought that the owner of the pure eyes in the past would become so treacherous now?
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes and looked at his aunt and said, "So, it was King Wei who imprisoned Master Yuanchen, right? It's also him...... Hurt your aunt, didn't you?"
The word poison couldn't be spoken, and Chu Yunsheng could only use the word harm euphemistically.
Hearing this, the pain on Xiao Yijun's face was even worse, and she moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them again.
At this moment, the door suddenly creaked, and then Concubine Duan appeared at the door, she walked over in a few steps, lifted the layers of curtains, and then looked at Chu Yunsheng and Xiao Yijun in front of the hospital bed and said, "Your Majesty is here." β
Before her words fell, Chu Yunsheng and Xiao Yijun were stunned.
Immediately, Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes to look at Concubine Duan, and after warning her with his eyes, she swept her body and flashed behind the big pillar with the curtain hanging on it, and then raised her hand to tear off the curtain that fell to the ground and wrapped herself, hiding her figure well from the outside.
Chu Yunsheng was about to hide his figure, and footsteps sounded outside the door.
Immediately after, the door was pushed open, and a stream of ambergris came to the face, instantly enveloping the entire room.
