Chapter 148: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat
Jing Lu was woken up by Mu Xi's exclamation, and immediately stood up, unnaturally arranging his sleeves, and whispered, "Forgive me, I ......"
Halfway through his words, Mu Xi interrupted softly, "Do you have any other orders before the prince sets out on the expedition?"
This made Jing Lu, who was embarrassed and deadlocked, immediately relieved, after all, a prince was rejected by a woman, in the royal family, it is not a shameful thing, "There is indeed something to explain to you." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
He immediately regained his composure, sat down at the table and called out the door, "Cangzhu." ”
A middle-aged man in a dark gray guard uniform entered in response, stood steadily in front of the table, and saluted slowly, "Lord Wang." ”
"Mu Xi, this is Cangzhu, he is a personal guard who has been with me for more than ten years, you can use a bodyguard to help describe his role in the future, you entered the palace this time, there is no intimate person to take care of it, I decided to let him be your bodyguard and enter the palace with you. Jing Lu pointed to Cangzhu, came to Mu Xi's bedside and sat down and said.
Cangzhu saluted steadily, "Cangzhu will do his best to protect Miss Yan's thoughtfulness, please rest assured." ”
"Miss Yan......"
Mu Xi was just about to agree, Jing Lu muttered on the side, "Miss Yan, I don't like this title, it sounds like a raw thing, before Ji Xiang called Mu Xi the master of Xi, it sounds very kind." ”
"No, after entering the palace, it will be decided according to the rules of the palace, it is just a title, and the prince does not have to be entangled. Mu Xi softly persuaded Jing Lu, and then turned to Cangzhu to respond gently,
"Don't be polite, get up, since you are the person next to the prince, you are the most intimate relative, just like Hongxia, she is naturally considerate and thoughtful, when I get to the palace, I must get along as a doctor, you can also call me Doctor Yan for the time being, if there is anything wrong, discuss with me." ”
She sat for a long time, said so many words, her body was already exhausted, and she had been holding on for a long time, and at this moment, she was already sleepy and unbearable, her eyes were forcibly opened, and she closed herself without fighting, and she didn't listen to her call at all.
"Girl, the medicine is ready. ”
Hongxia's voice called softly in her ears, Mu Xi barely opened a slit, only to hear Jing Lu scolding in a low voice, "Stand down, Mu Xi is tired like this, can't you see? Don't think I don't know what you think in your heart, when I go on the expedition, if you have the slightest disrespect for Mu Xi, this king will not spare you when he comes back, and he will not let the witch doctor decoction this recipe, and he can take it when Mu Xi wakes up." ”
"Lord Wang, this recipe is prescribed for you, the girl advised, let you take it with you, the medicinal effect and usage are here, please take a look at it. ”
Mu Xi didn't have the slightest strength anymore, Jing Lu scolded and gently supported her, letting her lie down slowly.
Hearing Hongxia's explanation, he was heartbroken again, covered her with a silk quilt, and turned around to borrow the afterglow of the sunset, the prescription clearly recorded the ratio of medicine, and when he was upset and tired, he could be relieved by drinking with a bubble.
Looking back at her, the gentle breath, the slightly closed eyes on the skin as moist as white jade, like two crescent moon inlays, a pair of pale pink lips, slightly crimson due to lack of blood, but at this time by the sunset, it looks as beautiful as a new lotus blooming.
Through her pearl face, he saw a flaming red and flawless heart, pure and kind, but extremely tenacious and strong, carefully put the prescription into his arms, gently moved to the bed again, waved everyone out, he just wanted to be alone, just quietly take a good look at her.
When Hongxia and Cangzhu exited the room, wisps of evening breeze took the opportunity to enter, he hurriedly pressed her quilt tighter, raised his hand, touched the light gauze tent, and even the jade jade bottle hook next to the bed was pulled, and found a crisp sound, this pair of jade bottles, which was originally his mother's life, for him in the temple to ask for auspicious things, since he was a child, hanging on his bedside, at this time, hanging on Mu Xi's head, only hope that the Buddha can bless her and recover soon.
But in the world, there are nine times out of ten that those who are not satisfied, and the Khan was angered by Jing Lu's repeated refusal to go on the expedition, and even threatened Mu Xi's life and forced him to commit it. After a few autumns on the expedition, he didn't know if she would still be the same when he came back, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek.
"Lord, the carriage sent by the Khan to take Miss Yan into the palace has arrived, and it is waiting outside the door, please Miss Yan enter the palace immediately. ”
Suddenly, a voice from outside the door broke his thoughts, and he was really annoyed by anything.
Jing Lu silently tried his best to suppress his resentment, Mu Xi still fell asleep peacefully, no nightmares, no panic, it was rare for her to sleep peacefully for a while, he really couldn't bear to wake up.
Taking a deep breath, he walked to the door calmly and gently, pushed open the door, Hongxia was waiting on the side, and saw him walking out alone, looking in with his side eyes.
"It's not easy for her to sleep peacefully, it's getting dark, go and invite them to have some refreshments, take a break, let Mu Xi rest quietly, when she arrives in the palace, I'm afraid there will be no quiet days." He commanded in a wistful whisper.
Hongxia got the order, turned to meet the convoy at the door, and in a moment coaxed the commander to follow her to the side courtyard with a smile on his face, and the other soldiers saw this, and naturally scattered to follow the courtyard.
Taking advantage of Hongxia to greet the commander, Jing Lu returned to the room, changed into the clothes of the long journey, and Cangzhu skillfully followed up and took care of the necessary clothes and utensils for him to go on the expedition.
Since Yanran's death, Cangzhu has replaced many of Yanran's jobs and taken care of his life, which has become a habit.
Jing Lu watched Cangzhu silently busy, thinking again and again in his heart, endless worries and reluctance made it difficult for him to calm down, Cangzhu called the guards waiting outside the door, handed the baggage in his hand to the guard, and repeatedly told the prince's preferences, what are the precautions in life, and arrange them to the guards one by one.
"Cangzhu, taking care of Mu Xi is more important than taking care of me, and it may be more dangerous than fighting with me on the battlefield, I'm not here, you have to take care of her more carefully, do you understand?" Jing Lu commanded Cangzhu behind his hands, like Cangzhu telling the guard.
"Don't worry, your arrangement, Cangzhu understands, it's just that Cangzhu is also worried about your safety, this expedition, internal and external troubles, there are only a few hairy and half-dozen children around you, I am always worried that they don't think enough and can't take care of it in time. Cangzhu didn't have any more politeness and etiquette in front of Jinglu, hung his head, and said in a tangled manner.
"Going out on the expedition, after all, there are brothers by my side, the generals will be outside, the military order is not granted, there is always some freedom to return, you are different when you enter the palace, imprisoned by the Khan, no matter what my record is, Mu Xi is in danger, I want to protect her life, who thinks, the more I want to protect, but the more she is in prison again, I have an ominous premonition, I always feel that this time is the life and death of me and her. ”
Jing Lu looked out the window at the night sky, there were no stars, no clouds, the faint wind was blowing softly, and the weather was the same as his mood, very dull.
"Lord Wang, otherwise, we ...... Three years ago, if it weren't for the murder of Princess Yanran, we would have succeeded, today, the Khan repeats his old tricks, always using women and family members to threaten, what kind of emperor is it, we ......" Cangzhu ran to Jing Lu's side angrily and said in a low voice.
