47. Bone-chilling cold
Regardless of whether Linyi is vicious by nature, or really hates himself to the bone, Shui Xiao doesn't want to delve into it.
He just smiled and said, "Does the fifteenth sister really not want me to enter the door?" He was already shivering with cold, and there was a little tremor in his voice. If it were for his own sake, he would not have suffered this sin!
Linyi smiled lightly, smiling coldly and sarcastically: "Brother Seventeen looks sick and crooked, how dare I let you enter the door?" If thou fall in my house, will not thy father and queen mother blame me? Brother Seventeen is still a long story short, let's talk about anything here! ”
Shui Xiao stared at Linyi fixedly, speechless for a while.
Linyi also stared at the water steadily, without saying a word.
Shui Xiao didn't know what to do for a while! He braved the wind and snow to come to Huaishan Residence to talk to the chief of Linyi, but now Linyi didn't let him in at all. How else could he cram some correct thoughts, normal thinking, into her head? Do you really want to stand in the snow and have a long talk with her? Don't say that she can't listen to it, her body can't support it in the first place!
He can only make a quick decision! As for the effect of this fierce medicine, let it be fate!
Smiling self-deprecatingly, Shui Xiao said: "The fifteenth sister's biological mother died early, and my biological mother also died early. Fifteenth sister, do you know that I originally had some sympathy for you......"
Before he finished speaking, Princess Linyi snorted coldly and laughed sadly: "Sympathy for the same disease? Are you worthy? My biological mother is Concubine Chen, your biological mother is just a little nobleman, or a guilty person who committed suicide, and she is not worthy of lifting shoes for my mother! You come from such a humble background, do you deserve to be 'in sympathy with me'? Don't call me disgusting! ”
Shui Xiao's face changed greatly, and the last bit of brotherhood for Linyi disappeared.
He didn't care what kind of attitude Linyi had towards him, but Linyi insulted his mother, which he couldn't tolerate!
Concubine Chen was only a noble person during her lifetime, and after her death, she was posthumously awarded two levels before she became Concubine Chen. Shui Xiao's mother Min Guiren died because she committed suicide, committing a taboo in the palace, plus Shui Xiao's resurrection, she did not get the routine posthumous seal after her death, and she was still buried as a nobleman.
But Shui Xiao didn't want to discuss the position of their biological mothers with Linyi, thinking that it was also an offense to the deceased!
"Linyi, do you think that if the father and mother tolerate you now, they will tolerate you forever? You are of noble birth and good health, but you have never known how to cherish it. Have you ever thought about what you would do if one day, your father and queen mother would no longer tolerate your misconduct? ”
The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
In the wind and snow, his voice was a little out of tune. When he spoke, he was excited because of the influence of the wind and snow, and his breath was unstable.
Lin Yi opened a pair of very innocent-looking eyes, revealing a very confused expression: "Is my father and queen mother tolerating me?" How did I not know? Brother Seventeen is not sick and confused, don't you know that I have just been imprisoned for four months, and I was only released half a month ago? ”
"The queen mother forbade your feet because you didn't care about your body at all in order to frame Jia Shangyi! Have you ever wondered what you would do one day when you were sick? Concubine Chen died of illness, you have been in front of her hospital bed for so long, don't you know the pain of illness? ”
Princess Linyi seemed to change her face, the innocence and confusion on her face quickly faded, and she laughed wildly: "How come I don't know the pain of disease? Because I knew it so well, I fasted for 101 days! 101 days! For so many days, I only eat a little porridge and side dish steamed buns every day, and I don't dare to touch the meat at all, and I endure the green light in my eyes when I am hungry for meat, and I dream that I eat meat at night, and I hit my palms in the morning. I prayed for my mother's blessing every day, hoping that the gods would bless me that one day those wastes in the hospital would be able to grow some skills and save my mother......
Tears in her eyes soared, and when she was blown by the snow wind, she turned into a little ice chip and stuck to her eyelashes: "But what about the result!" I could only watch my mother breathe! And what about the surnamed Jia? She just fasted for more than half a month in a pretend, and then she won the favor of the gods and obtained peerless medical skills...... Why?! Why are you suing me?! My dignified princess, golden branches and jade leaves, thousands of times more noble than her! If I fast for 101 days, is it better for her to fast for more than half a month? Her voice was frantic and poignant.
Shui Xiao said sharply: "Just because Doctor Jia Shang is more virtuous than you!" If you are an immortal, how can you care about your background in the world? Fairy blue eyes, naturally only for virtuous people. Dr. Jia Shang has obtained such precious medical skills, he has not hidden them, and he has not lived in them with strange goods. Without saying a word, he dedicated it to the Son of Heaven, and only asked for it to be made public to the world, so that more doctors could learn from it and solve the world's suffering. Now, Dr. Jia Shangzheng is leading a group of female officials to record the set of medical books taught by the gods, working day and night, forgetting to sleep and eating, just hoping to complete the book as soon as possible. Jia Shangyi is so open-minded and courageous, and such a character measure, even a man is ashamed of himself! Isn't it natural for such a strange woman to have fairy blue eyes?! ”
He looked at Linyi's eyes with deep disappointment: "But what about you? You know the pain of illness very well, but you hate Jia Shangyi, who can solve people's suffering, and repeatedly plotted against her. With such a character, do you still want the gods to favor you? Do you know how important this Jia Shangyi, whom you hate, is to his father, queen mother, Jiangshan Sheji, and the people of the world?! ”
Linyi looked at him in silence.
After a long while, she wiped the tears from her face and restrained her feelings. He even laughed out loud: "She's important to you, isn't she?" ”
She looked at Shui Xiao, with undisguised disgust and hatred in her eyes: "That's right! You have to rely on her to survive, and of course she is important to you. Aren't you just afraid that after she is finished, you won't be cured of this disease? Don't speak of yourself as so noble! As for the Jiangshan Sheji and the people of the world...... Hehe, there is a father and a prince, and there are royal brothers below, it's not your turn to worry about it, right? Do you think that if that has cured you, you will be qualified to compete for the storage position? Stop dreaming! ”
"I admit that Dr. Jia Shang is very important to me. Without her, I wouldn't have survived. How grateful I am to her, how much I hope that her set of medical books will be published all over the world, and how much I hope that she can relieve the suffering of more people. Shui Xiao's expression was calm and condensed, "Linyi, I know that you have been sad about Concubine Chen's death. Even if you want to keep being sad, it's up to you. But you can't just want to make the whole world feel bad because you're sad! ”
"Why not?" Princess Linyi tilted her head, looked at him and smiled, "When I'm unhappy, when I see others more unhappy than me, I'll be a little happier!" ”
Shui Xiao once again had a feeling of being speechless.
He was silent for a while before he said slowly: "Could it be that Concubine Chen taught you like this when she was alive?" ”
Princess Linyi smiled characteristically: "How come? My mother said: Heaven is good, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end. But she is so kind and so obedient, why is there no good retribution? Why did she die at such a young age, leaving me alone? It can be seen that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, but it is just a coaxing nonsense! Good people don't live long, and it is only right that disasters will last for thousands of years. ”
"So you're determined to be a scourge?" Shui Xiao said without emotion.
"Brother Seventeen, you're wrong! I am determined to follow my mother's example and be a 'good person', so that I don't live too long and live alone in the world. Princess Linyi showed that very innocent look again, "Brother Seventeen wants to see me, so I will get up from the bed and run to the ice and snow to meet you." Am I not a good person? I've been talking to you in the snow for so long, and I've been freezing with you for so long, am I not good enough? ”
Shui Xiao was slightly sarcastic: "I'm freezing, you're very happy, right?" ”
Princess Linyi looked at Shui Xiao's increasingly ugly face, her body trembling more and more, and laughed: "Of course I'm happy!" It was very funny to see you disregard your body like this, and refuse to leave when you are about to freeze into a popsicle, and still have to preach to me. Brother Seventeen, if you get frostbite today, will your Master Shangyi be very unhappy? Her face must be wonderful! Ha ha...... I wonder if you will make her lose all her efforts if you run this trip today? ”
She took two steps forward, leaned into Shui Xiao's ear, and whispered, "I really hope that her work is gone!" That way, when I burn paper before your spirit, my heart won't hurt so much! Because the medical skills obtained from the gods are nothing more than that! ”
Her fluttering voice seemed to have a chill from hell.
Shui Xiao had no way to be entangled with Linyi anymore, he was gradually unable to stand, and he didn't really fall down because of Mingse's support. The feeling of coldness on the body gradually turned into a bone-chilling cold; And in this bone-chilling cold, an unprecedented strange warmth was born.
He felt his mind getting more and more groggy. Even though he didn't know how to heal, he knew that he was probably not in a good situation.
"Linyi, I'll ask you one last time: Do you really refuse to stop?" Shui Xiao supported himself and asked Linyi in a trance.
"What's the hand?" Princess Linyi tilted her head, looking at Shui Xiao's unsteady appearance, there was a strong pleasure in her heart, and she continued to entangle, "I don't understand what Brother Seventeen is talking about!" ”
Shui Xiao sighed and completely gave up the idea of communicating with Linyi and persuading her to stop.
Just ...... I don't have this sister!
"In that case, don't bother!" Shui Xiao's consciousness was a little vague and instructed Ming Se, "Carry me back!" Ask Dr. Jia Shang to come. ”
Ming Se was already anxious, and he didn't even bother to say hello to Princess Linyi when he heard the words. A short body, carrying Shui Xiao on his back, walked quickly towards the Hanxiang Courtyard. One of the eunuchs who followed them held an umbrella, and the other eunuch braved the heavy snow and ran towards the Shangyi Bureau.
The snow had been falling for a while, and there was a thick layer on the ground, and it was not easy for them to walk.
Princess Linyi looked at Shui Xiao's back with a cold gaze, and said goodbye faintly: "Brother Seventeen goes all the way!" My sister didn't send it. ”
She lifted the hand stove in her hand, which was no longer hot, and looked at it, and smashed it directly on the snow. Then she folded her hands, shrunk her shoulders, wrapped herself tightly in her cloak, and hurried back to the Huaishan Residence. As he walked, he was still scolding the eunuchs and palace maids.
――――――――――
When the wind and snow are blowing, the weather is always very dark. It was just noon, but it seemed to be nearly dusk.
Yuan Chun was about to have lunch when he saw Yuan Weihou walking in quickly with a little eunuch covered in wind and snow.
She couldn't help but feel a beat in her heart: this little eunuch, she had seen it in Hanxiang Courtyard! Is there something going on with His Highness the Seventeenth?
"Lord Shangyi, today His Royal Highness has braved the wind and snow outside Huaishan Residence, and now he is unconscious! I beg your Excellency to hurry up and see Your Highness! As soon as the little eunuch came in, he began to kowtow and plead.
The strength of his kowtow made Yuan Chun can't help but bare his teeth - it hurts for him!
"Don't knock! I'll go right away! Yuan Chun didn't ask about the cause and effect of the matter, nor did he ask how His Highness the Seventeenth was going - it would be too late to ask carefully - and he directly ordered to get the medical box, called Song Qian, and Qiu Ningshuang and the others tacitly prepared for her to go out.
While the palace maids went to get things, Yuan Chun took up the pen and wrote a list, and wrote all the medicinal materials that might be used on the list. Hanxiangin is a bit far away from the spring early residence, and it is snowing heavily. If she arrives at Hanxiang Courtyard and asks someone to come back to pick up the medicine after prescribing the prescription, it will be too delayed.
As soon as Yuan Chun wrote the list, Song Qian came in a hurry.
Yuan Chun didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed her the list: "His Highness Seventeen may not be in a good situation, I'll rush to Hanxiang Courtyard first." You packed up the medicinal materials on this list and sent them over immediately. ”
Under the service of Qiu Ningshuang and others, Yuan Chun hurriedly tied his cloak, put on snow boots, and put on gloves.
Qiu Ningshuang opened the curtain, Yuan Chun walked out of the warm room, and was immediately covered by the wind and snow, and couldn't help but shiver.
I'll go for it, on such a cold day, what did the seventeenth prince do when he went to Huaishanju? Do you think your life is too long?
Yuan Chun took the female officials to write medical books in the study all morning, and he had not yet gone out. I didn't expect the weather to be so cold!
She held the placket of the cloak with one hand, and took the umbrella in Qiu Ningshuang's hand with the other: "I hold the umbrella myself." Each of you also holds an umbrella. With such a big snowstorm, pouring a neck of snow water is not fun. ”
The uniforms of the palace maids and eunuchs are all without cloaks, and if a neck of snow is poured into it, and the snow melts and soaks the clothes, maybe she will have to take care of two patients.
"But......" Qiu Ningshuang was still a little hesitant, but the umbrella in his hand was snatched away by Yuan Chun.
"Less nonsense! Go get an umbrella and go immediately. "I looked at the little eunuch of Hanxiangyuan who came to report just now, and asked Qiu Ningshuang to bring him an umbrella too.
The group went out in the wind and snow, and Yuan Chun felt: It's really cold!
This kind of blizzard should be well spent in the house! Which tendon did His Highness Seventeen make a mistake, and he ran to Huaishan Residence at this time?!
The spring early residence is in the southeast corner of the Imperial Garden, and the Hanxiang Temple is in the north of the Imperial Garden. From the early spring residence to the Hanxiang Temple, you have to go against the wind and snow.
Yuan Chun had to use two hands to hold the umbrella, the cloak was blown by the north wind, separated from the placket to both sides, and most of the warmth was removed in an instant, and the tether strangled his neck painfully. She secretly regretted that she had not done it well - if she had known that, she would have thought of improving the style of her cloak.
She held her umbrella in front of her, feeling like she was about to be blown up by the wind. I thought bitterly: This umbrella is really strong, and it hasn't been blown apart yet!
"This won't work!" Qiu Ningshuang said loudly, "Let's go ahead and block the wind and snow for the adults." She herself walked in front with two tall palace maids and the eunuch who reported the news in Hanxiang Courtyard, and let Baoqin and another palace maid surround Yuan Chun in the middle.
Yuan Chun immediately felt much better.
If it is normal weather, at a normal rate, it will take about 40 minutes to an hour to walk from Harakami to Hanxiangin. This time they braved the snow, and it took about twice as long for Yuan Chun and the others to see the gate of Hanxiangyuan.
When he walked into the Cunxin Hall, Yuan Chun felt that he was about to be frozen into a popsicle!
Qiu Ningshuang and the others hurriedly stepped forward to serve her to untie her cloak, remove snow, and change her shoes, and the people from Hanxiangyuan brought a basin of hot water, so that Yuan Chun could wash his hands and face, and also warm his face and hands that were frozen wood.
After hurriedly taking care of himself, Yuan Chun walked quickly to the inner room of the seventeenth prince.
As soon as the medical system was swept away, she couldn't help but want to scold her mother: hypothermia!
This is real hypothermia, not the kind of body chills that Shui Xiao felt when he was seriously ill before. So, it's very dangerous!
She was very angry in her heart: although the seventeenth prince has not recovered from a serious illness and is more afraid of cold than ordinary people, it will take time to be frozen into hypothermia! How long has he been freezing outside Huaishan Residence?! What was there to be in the freeze for so long? Didn't Princess Linyi invite her brother into the house to roast the fire?
Seeing that Lu Ziyan was rubbing his hands and legs to warm his feet for the seventeenth prince with the palace maid, Yuan Chun hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop!" Stop now! ”
The current situation of the seventeenth prince is absolutely not allowed to rub his hands and warm his feet. Otherwise, the cold blood flow back to the heart, lungs or brain will allow the core body temperature to continue to drop, which will be fatal!
As if they had been pricked by a needle, Lu Ziyan and the others immediately stopped their hands as if they were conditioned, put their hands behind their backs, and looked at Yuan Chun helplessly. Lu Ziyan was the first to react, she jumped off the bed with a roll, and knelt down in front of Yuan Chun with a plop.
Without waiting for her to beg for anything, Yuan Chun directly ordered: "Immediately check whether His Highness Seventeen's underwear is wet, and if it is, take off his wet clothes immediately." Go get some hand stoves. Mix some hot honey water to ......"
The medical system swept it, and picked one of the warmest bodies from the pile of eunuchs in the house, and said: "You, immediately take off all your outer clothes and middle clothes, wear only your underwear, go into the bed and hug His Highness Seventeen, and use your body to warm him." ”
With a series of instructions, Lu Ziyan and the others seemed to have found the backbone. The palace maids first checked Shui Xiao's underwear and found that the underwear on the back was indeed a little damp, so they immediately took it off and put on clean new underwear. So Minser led the men to find a hand stove and mix honey with water.
In a short time, Mincer brought in both the hand stove and honey water.
Yuan Chun asked him to put the hand stove in the armpit of His Highness Seventeen, and fed him hot honey water. Luckily, he still knows how to swallow!
The people in the room were silently busy, and the atmosphere was solemn and anxious.
Waiting for Song Qian to send all the medicinal materials, Yuan Chun gave her a few prescriptions. Song Qian took someone to grab the medicine and decoction.
Time passed little by little, and Shui Xiao's body temperature rose little by little. Yuan Chun breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the people of Hanxiang Yuan to serve Shui Xiao to take a medicinal bath.
That night, Shui Xiao developed a high fever.
That's to be expected! With Shui Xiao's physical condition, he was frozen out of hypothermia, and it was impossible not to get sick.
Yuan Chun could only stay by Shui Xiao's bed all night long, using various methods to cool down Shui Xiao and prevent him from being burned out of his brain.
At dawn, Shui Xiao's fever subsided, and the situation stabilized.
Yuan Chun breathed a sigh of relief. A question began to linger in her heart: The Seventeenth Prince has always been a very cooperative patient, what reason did he have to run outside Huaishan Residence to suffer the cold in such weather?
Of course, she didn't ask anything. No matter what the reason is, it is a private matter between the brother and sister of the Seventeenth Prince and Princess Linyi. She is just a doctor, and she has no position to intervene in the private affairs of patients.
