24. Northern Qi |
Gao Su remembered what the doctor had just said: "If the princess is careful from now on and eats cautiously every day, she will still be able to live a stable life." But if the princess gives birth to a son, her life will be reduced by twenty years, and it will be reduced again and again, until it is described as withered and no longer alive. β
Gao Su closed his eyes and muttered, "Giving birth to a son will damage ......"
-- Committing to the negative damage.
-- Committing real and vicious.
He remembered Hu Luguang just now and said, "I know you're worried about your princess, but shouldn't you also take the time to take a look at the affairs in the west?" Duan Boy is about to be unstoppable, if Huagu and Baigu are broken, the western gate of Daqi is wide open, and Yuwen Hu leads people straight into Yecheng, we will all become turtles in the urn! Chang Gong, you are the general of Daqi, and you are also the person I admire the most in this life, how to do this, you should have the bottom in your heart. β
- You are the general of Daqi.
-- You should have the bottom in your heart.
Gao Su closed his eyes, took Yun Yao in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and called in a low voice, "A-Yao." β
Yun Yao hummed, lowered her head and felt around her sleeve, wanting to find three copper coins. But today the sun is very good, and her copper coins are all drying in the yard, and she doesn't have any of them with her. She looked left and right again, trying to find a blooming flower, but she couldn't find it either.
"A-Yao." Gao Su closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and whispered, "I'm going to the west." This time, Duan Shao sent three military reports in two days, and it was obviously already a matter of burning his eyebrows, I ...... I couldn't be more relieved. β
Yun Yao nestled in his arms, picked up a strand of his long hair and played around, without speaking.
Gao Su looked down at her, put her hand in the palm of his hand, and said slowly: "I know that there is something wrong with this matter. But before going to the west, I will make a military order, and I will not hold the handsome seal or the fish talisman in this life, so as to dispel the prince's suspicions. And alsoβ"
What's more, in the prescription of the doctor just now, there are a few rare medicinal herbs in the world.
Fortunately, he had seen them in a mountain stream in the western border of Daqi.
"A-Yao." Gao Su stroked her cheek and muttered, "I'm sorry, I broke my promise again." β
He had promised her to take her back to Lanling County.
Yun Yao straightened up from his arms and said with a smile: "I guessed it a long time ago." According to your nature, you can't just leave it alone. β
It's a pity that he ran into that bastard from Cushman & Wakefield...... It would be nice if Gao Su met a Ming Jun, and he could completely let him go to fight in front of the battle, so that this general star could return to his rightful position, instead of being trapped in a side of Ye City and surviving the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, she sighed faintly in her heart. Gao Su met such an emperor, it was simply a lifetime of sorrow.
Gao Su attached himself to her ear and told her what the doctor had just said, including those two sentences: "Giving birth to a son will reduce your life expectancy by 20 years, and regeneration will be reduced again." But then Gao Su said that most of these medicinal materials are very common, and some precious ones can also be found in the west. Later, he will come back from the west with his things, so she should not worry.
In the end, he kissed Yun Yao lightly on his eyebrows, and said vaguely: "This fetal poison is not hopeless, Ah Yao must relax her heart." β
Yun Yao replied.
That night, Yun Yao gave herself a divination.
The hexagram presents Xia Ji, and it is obvious that her so-called fetal poison is not a big deal.
Immediately afterwards, she gave Gao Su a hexagram, wanting to see how he would win or lose when he went back to the west. Will Cushman give him poisoned wine? However, the hexagram shows that Gao Su sent troops to Baigu this time, showing the auspiciousness of the upper and the best, and winning steadily; And even Gao Wei is also a sign of Zhongji, obviously he will not kill Gao Su, and he will not send someone to do anything to him.
As soon as such a remark came out, Yun Yao was relieved.
Thinking that the hexagram will show the image of Shangji and Zhongji, it is because Gao Su realized in advance that Gao Wei was suspicious of him, so he acted more cautiously. As for her own auspicious appearance...... She guessed that it was because she stayed in the palace and had to be sneered at by Gao Wei from time to time, and she had to pay attention to it from time to time, so that Gao Wei's attention would not be too much of Gao Su.
Thinking of this, Yun Yao rested peacefully and slept well.
Gao Su has been very polite to her in the past few days, except for occasionally kissing her shallowly, there is no other action.
She had asked Gao Su about this, but Gao Su only shook his head slowly and said, "You can't have children for the time being." β
On that day, the physician said that if a princess gave birth once, she would lose twenty years of life.
Therefore, Gao Su became more polite and self-controlled at night than during the day.
ββββββββββ
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Gao Su to leave.
Yun Yao was still taken to live in the palace. But this time, Zhaoyi's mother didn't live in the palace, so she randomly chose a cold palace and lived quietly. Last time, she had already asked Zhaoyi Niangzi, and both of them had poison in their wombs, but because Zhaoyi Niangzi was older and the toxins were still shallow, she was fine after taking a few pairs of medicines. As for Yun Yao's illness, he needed to use a few extremely precious medicinal materials.
Jinyang City also replied with a letter, saying that their stepmother had been punished by the clan once when she found out that she had killed his first wife and tried to harm his stepdaughter last time, and she died of depression soon after. As for their fetal poisons, the clan is completely impossible.
Therefore, these days, Yun Yao can only stay in the cold palace, practicing calligraphy every day, divination, and occasionally blocking Gao Wei's whimsical ideas - such as sending a dagger to the king of Lanling on the front line, or sending two yin and yang weird words to the past, and so on. She has a lot of means, and Gao Wei's attention will be attracted to her every time, and over time, she gradually forgets about King Lanling.
It wasn't until the war on the Western Front ended again and King Lanling returned to Yecheng that Gao Wei remembered this cousin again.
When King Lanling returned, the whole city was a sensation, because this time it was an unprecedented victory. The so-called unprecedented is that even his grandfather Gao Huan, father Gao Cheng, or the famous generals for two or three hundred years are not as good as a great victory for King Lanling.
But when King Lanling returned to Yecheng this time, he not only completely returned the military power, but also admitted that he would return to the fiefdom of Lanling County in a few days.
The day after King Lanling returned, Princess Lanling returned to the mansion.
However, when Gao Su came back this time, he suddenly fell ill.
Yun Yao was very surprised when she heard the military doctor talk about it. She knew that Gao Su had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his health had always been very good. Over the years, he has guarded the four counties of the Northland, galloped to the aid of the five cities of Huagu, and has always been in good health, why did he suddenly get sick?
She lay in Gao Su's arms, Gao Su leaned crookedly on the couch, and the two of them were relatively speechless.
Until the end, Gao Su clenched his fists, coughed lowly, and explained: "It's just a recurrence of the arrow wound the day before yesterday, it's not a big deal." He stroked her long hair and asked in a low voice, "How is Ah Yao doing lately?" β
Yun Yao snorted sullenly, reaching out to untie his belt.
Gao Su held her hand and chuckled, "Don't mess around." β
Yun Yao raised up and looked at him seriously: "I want to see your injuries." β
Gao Su was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's just some old injuries, nothing to look at." Then he instructed the maid to bring the medicine that had just been decocted and let the princess take it. Last time, the doctor gave him a prescription that if she took this medicine for three or two months, she would be able to eliminate the scabies, let the toxins slowly fade away, and finally let her live a peaceful life.
Yun Yao knew Gao Su's intentions, so she drank all the bitter medicinal juices according to his words, and didn't even frown.
Suddenly, Gao Su casually asked, "If I die suddenly, will A-Yao be sad?" β
Yun Yao was startled, looked at him with round eyes, and said in amazement, "What did you say?!" β
Gao Su shook his head and smiled: "It's just a casual question." He raised his hand and stroked the side of her neck and whispered, "My injuries are fine. It's just that military doctors say that people who hurt their hearts and lungs will have a harder time in the autumn and winter in the future. β
In fact, the original words of the doctors are that people who have broken their hearts and lungs have survived every autumn and winter season, and they have survived a catastrophe of life and death.
Yun Yao looked at him seriously and said, "Really? Don't fool me. β
Gao Su said with a smile: "Naturally it's true, when did I lie to you?" "It's just a blur of words.
Yun Yao sighed lightly, fell back into Gao Su's arms, and said softly, "My master once said that there is a way for two people to reincarnate together with the memories of their previous lives. I've never tried this before, so would you like to try it with me? β
Gao Su froze and whispered, "Two people, reincarnated together?" β
If there is such a method, then no matter what the cost, he is willing to try.
Because the next life, the next life...... No matter how bad it is, it can't be as bad as his lonely star, and his six relatives are cut off.
Yun Yao nodded and repeated the words that Master had said in his previous life. She actually believed Master's words very much, because everything Master said was fulfilled. Master also said that the success rate of this method is extremely high, even higher than her hexagrams.
After Yun Yao said that, she suddenly whispered: "If the two of them are reincarnated together, and they still carry the memories of their previous lives-well, I mean, if there really is such a day, will you still be with me?" Two lives and two lives together. β
Gao Su leaned over and kissed her eyes, and laughed in a low voice, "I can't ask for it." β
"And A-Yao, you know...... I want more than that. Gao Su stroked her cheek and sighed, "I obviously want to keep you by my side until I can't keep you anymore." β
-- Not just two lives, but one life after another.
Yun Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Since that day, she and Gao Su confessed to each other, Gao Su no longer tried to send her away, and on the contrary, he wanted to keep her by his side and never leave.
How painfully the feelings are suppressed at the beginning, how ...... will become in the end Blazing.
It was a kind of extreme fiery, but still gentle and inclusive, like the vast sea, which did not make her feel uncomfortable, but was deeply intoxicated by it, and could not extricate herself.
She took his hand and smiled, "Okay, let's give it a try." β
ββββββββββββββ
Gao Su took her back to Lanling County.
They carefully followed the doctor's instructions, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and dietary taboos were all very cautious, and even the flowers and trees planted in the yard were carefully selected to avoid unknown injuries.
Every autumn and winter, Yun Yao will feel frightened. But then it ...... OK.
Except for one autumn, when the Northern Zhou army invaded on a large scale, the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, and the later lord Gao Wei disappeared, all of them were ...... OK.
Gao Su was very sick that autumn, and Yun Yao almost thought that he would not be able to survive, but in the spring of the second year, he still woke up again, and his spirit was much better than before. However, after hearing that Hu Luguang was given death and the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, Gao Su was silent for a long, long time.
Later they all used that method.
Later, Gao Su inadvertently discovered Yun Yao's secret: she was able to leave her body and float around like using the Split Body Technique.
However, Gao Su also has a secret that Yun Yao will never know.
-- When he returned to Yecheng from the west that year, he contracted a heart and lung disease, not because of the recurrence of an old injury.
-- but because while he was looking for medicine for her, he inadvertently slipped off a cliff and was thrust into his chest by a sharpened branch.
-- Since then, he has been infected with a lifelong disease.
