Chapter 2: [1] The Beginning of the Heavenly Tribulation - The Condition of the World
In the afternoon, people always get together boringly, telling each other interesting things that happen around them, and teasing and abusing those who are dissatisfied with them.
However, recently, the people of Chongjingguo have surprisingly unanimously put the topic on one person.
He is the seventh prince of Chongjingguo - Jing Muhui.
It is said that the seventh prince went out of the house not long ago to play, accidentally fell into the hands of mountain bandits, and was injured when he escaped, and when the emperor sent someone to find him, he was already unconscious, and after waking up a few nights ago, the whole person was completely changed.
In the past, he was timid, cowardly, never dared to speak loudly, and was submissive to others.
But now he has become cold and arrogant, with a cold face, exuding an aura of indifference that no one can approach, and he also beat the staff of the servants who despised him and expelled him from the Seven Kings' Mansion.
Recently, the royal family has exploded like ants, and rumors are rife in the palace.
The sunlight shines directly on the surface of the water, and the breeze blows, and the water surface ripples slightly, which looks unusually bright under the sunlight.
Jing Muhui was in the pavilion in the center of the lake, lying leisurely on the chaise longue, a trace of pain flashed on his thin face, the pain made his slender eyebrows rise slightly, and the eyebrows were slightly wrinkled together, the beautiful Danfeng eyes sometimes closed and sometimes opened, the dark eyes were so deep and sharp, and the cold wisdom exuded from the pupils could not be ignored.
He squinted his eyes slightly and looked lazily at the lake in front of him, and his whole person gradually relaxed, his bright eyes and teeth gradually closed, remembering the somewhat confusing thing that happened that day...... That day, Dongfang Hongqin's spell was forced to be sealed and fell in the human world, when he was seriously injured in the world confused and difficult to walk, suddenly saw someone in front of him running in a hurry, there were two people behind him who seemed to be chasing him, the person who ran in front accidentally fell down the hillside, his head hit the stone, and the two people who caught up walked into him and said that he was the seventh prince of Chongjingguo, and he was going to be destroyed when he died, and buried him to escape or something.
After the two people buried him in a panic, on the way back, they saw Dongfang Hongqin standing there weakly with a big tree, and the two people ran away as if they had seen a ghost, shouting as they ran, "The Seven Princes spare their lives, we didn't mean to!" The Seventh Prince spares his life, we kidnapped you and were instructed by others, if we want to find you, they should be them! ”
They only cared about running for their lives, but they didn't see the way ahead, and they fell off the cliff all at once, and ended up the same as that person.
Dongfang Hongqin suffered severe pain in the bones of his whole body due to his return to robbery, and he was slapped by Hong Luo, and the pain in his whole body made him faint, and he was rescued by Wan Ge, a medical woman who passed by here to collect medicine.
When he woke up, he was already in the splendid palace, and when those people saw him wake up, they all called him the Seventh Prince.
Dongfang Hongqin probably guessed that he probably looked similar to the deceased Seventh Prince, so he was misunderstood.
Thinking that Jing Muhui was dead and that he needed to find a quiet place to recuperate, Dongfang Hongqin accepted his new identity in the human world.
I don't know how long it took a long time, the servant and a woman in green clothes slowly walked towards the Huxin Pavilion.
The servant cautiously approached Jing Muhui, who was resting on the chaise longue, and said softly: "The slave sees the prince!" ”
, "Say"
Jing Muhui closed his eyes and didn't raise his head.
The servant replied respectfully: "Back to the prince, Miss Jun said that the medicine house needs her to go back to take care of it, and she wants to leave first, so she came to discuss with the prince." ”
Hearing his words, Jing Muhui got up and turned his head to look at the woman who had saved him a few days ago, and when this woman called for him, she actually saw that his breath was disordered, and the emperor was so frightened that the emperor forced her to stay in the Seven Kings' Mansion to treat him.
His illness is obviously just a reorganization of the muscles and veins of his body, and there is no need for a mortal to heal him.
Jing Muhui looked at Wan Ge and thought about it, Wan Ge watched him stare at himself intently, and said uncomfortably: "That... Since the prince is unhindered, Wan Ge will retire first! ”
As she spoke, she turned to leave, "Did you see those two men?" ”
Jing Muhui asked inexplicably, "What, what person?" ”
Wan Ge looked at him suspiciously, and he asked, "Did you see the two people chasing this king when you saved this king?" ”
She thought for a moment and said, "Is the prince talking about the two people who fell under the cliff near you?" ”
He nodded and asked, "Are you still alive?" ”
She shook her head and said, "When the Fourth Prince sent someone to find you, the guards also found the two people at the bottom of the cliff from the shoes on the side of the cliff, but they were already dead. ”
He nodded and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Jing Muhui asked, Wan Ge looked at him a little speechlessly, sure enough, the people of the royal family were so arrogant, they just told him that he was going to go so fast and ignored it.
She said: "I think since the prince is already fine, then Wan Ge will leave first." ”
Jing Muhui listened to her words and asked, "Go?" ”
。
She nodded, "Hmm"
He waved her hand and motioned for her to leave.
Wan Ge breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left briskly...... The breeze slowly blew on her face, on her hair, and she pinned the few strands of green silk that the wind had blown away behind her ears.
As soon as he walked to the shore, Wan Ge heard "dang" behind him
It seemed to be the sound of a cup breaking.
She was so shocked that when she looked back, she saw Jing Muhui in the Huxin Pavilion in the distance falling straight down in front of her...... "Seventh Prince......"
Wan Ge hurriedly rushed over, Jing Muhui's face was pale, he knelt on the ground with a painful expression, his big bony hand grabbed his chest hard, the tearing pain of his whole body almost made him speechless, and he let out a muffled snort of pain "......"
。
Wan Ge rushed to him and squatted down and asked eagerly, "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" Are you feeling unwell? ”
。
Jing Muhui looked at her with vague eyes, as if he saw his mother, he remembered that he curled up in his mother's arms for the first time in the rebirth period, when he tasted the piercing pain for the first time, the queen mother hugged him and coaxed him in distress, and the mother's arms were warm, making him forget the pain.
But there was only that time, when the queen mother returned to rob, she was hunted by the dragon slayer and died.
Since then, the dragon soul of the father and the queen mother has disappeared, and he has spent more than 2,000 years alone, and he has endured two catastrophes alone, curled up in countless dark nights waiting for a few rays of soft light at the end of the night, just because there is no warm embrace waiting for him.
Wan Ge looked at Jing Muhui, who was a little confused, she held his shoulder and asked softly, "Seventh Prince, are you okay?" ”
"Mother, mother, it hurts ......"
After he finished speaking, he fell forward...... "Hey, what's wrong with you, why does it hurt?" ”
Wan Ge looked at Jing Muhui, who was unconscious in his arms, and asked with a slightly red face.
Jing Muhui's head rested on her shoulder, and when she lowered her head to ask him, her breath hit his neck, warm.
He subconsciously tightened the hand hanging on her waist, he hugged her and muttered, "It's so warm!" ”
"Well, are you cold?"
She looked at the sun outside the pavilion, then at the fine sweat on his forehead and whispered, "Hmm! ”
With difficulty, Wan Ge's servant helped Jing Muhui back to the room, and he kept wrapping his arms around her waist.
Wan Ge had no choice but to follow his hand and lay awkwardly on the edge of the bed, and her upper body was forced to lean beside him.
She blushed and tried hard to open the hand around her waist, but she couldn't.
"Don't, don't leave!"
He closed his eyes and muttered, "Huh? ”
She looked up and saw him sweating profusely and looking in pain, so she gave up the struggle and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
"Queen Mother, Hongqin, Hongqin ......"
He still muttered, shaking his head uneasily, his hand clutching hers painfully.
Looking at him so weak and helpless, Wan Ge didn't feel a softening in her heart, she whispered softly: "Don't worry, I'm here to accompany you, I won't leave!" ”
He seemed to hear his words, his hand gradually relaxed, and Wan Ge breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched his body.
She crouched on the edge of the bed and looked at him carefully, her handsome face showing a sore spot from time to time, and her slender eyelashes moving slightly.
His right hand lay flat on the side of the bed, and she stretched out her hand to call his pulse, not feeling puzzled: "How can this be?" His veins...... It's messy! ”
Wan Ge looked at him in disbelief, if it was a normal person, the veins would have been messed up like this a long time ago...... He slowly opened his eyes, his hand rubbing his temples lightly, and he struggled to keep his eyes open to see the blurry figure in front of him.
He looked at her and looked puzzled, and asked weakly, "Your hand...... How long will it take? ”
"Ahh ”
She was startled, looked down at her hand still holding the pulse for him, she let go of the hand that was pinching his wrist and said ashamedly, "Yes, I'm sorry." I, I ......"
He was holding the bed with his hands and trying to sit up with some difficulty, but Wan Ge helped him sit up.
His voice was a little hoarse and asked, "Aren't you leaving?" ”
"That, you fainted suddenly, I can't just walk away, I can't save you when you die, right?"
She replied, handing him a glass of water by the way.
He took a few sips of water and looked up and asked, "You saved this king again?" ”
"Well, not really." I'm just helping you back to the room with Steward Ye, and I'm just doing it with a gesture. ”
She scratched her head embarrassedly and smiled.
"Just now..."
He looked at his hand, paused, and asked, "Did this king do anything when he passed out?" ”
"Ahh This, uh! By the way, you kept shouting 'Mother Princess' and saying 'don't leave', by the way, you kept calling someone's name, and I wanted to think about what it was called, it seemed to be called 'Hongqin'. ”
Wan Ge remembered something and said.
"Hongqin ......"
He muttered the name to himself, and his face became a little lonely.
"That, lord, can you take the liberty of asking?"
She asked cautiously, "Hmm"
He answered absentmindedly.
"I just checked your pulse without your consent, and I found that your meridians are very messy, where do you hurt? Is it the kind of cone pain? ”
She asked, thinking for a moment.
"What?"
He looked at her in amazement, she knew her sore spot, and he looked at her as if he wanted to see her through.
He looked at the woman who knew his pain point, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" ”
。
Puzzled, she replied, "Ah, what's wrong with you?" ”
He looked at her with an inquiring eye: "How do you know that this king is in pain in the bones?" What do you do? ”
"Didn't I say it before, I'm a medical woman, and I can naturally diagnose the source of the disease through guò!"
She replied calmly, "You know that this king's veins are messed up?" ”
He squinted his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Master has taught me since I was a child, and besides, your breathing is short, your breath is extremely unstable, and your pulse is beating so much that sometimes you can barely detect your pulse. It is said in the medical book: Those who practice martial arts must be calm and calm. Otherwise, the breath will be completely chaotic, go crazy, and suffer from the pain of the cone. I thought, Lord Wang, your symptoms are really like what the book says, so I made a bold guess. However, Lord Wang, I don't know if Wan Ge is right? Also, did you go crazy when you practiced martial arts? ”
She asked curiously.
After listening to her words, he put his mind at ease and said, "Don't spread it to the public! ”
"Wan Ge understands! Then Wang Ye Wange will go down first to prescribe some medicine to treat your internal injuries. ”
Wan Ge said, he looked out the window and thought about something...... 'Queen Mother, Hongqin, don't leave?'
'Did I just remember the time when the queen mother accompanied me through the tribulation, how could it be?'
How could I say such things lightly to a strange woman?
But why did she bring back memories of my mother?
I remember that when I was unconscious, I seemed to be holding a very warm thing, could it be the illusion I had when I just hugged her, which reminded me of my mother's memory, and I didn't expect that I would become like this after the mana seal...... He thought about it and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly...... The early morning fog still enveloped the Washington mansion, and the morning dew wet the sleeves of passers-by.
"Squeak"
With a bang, Wan Ge carefully pushed open the door with the medicine early, but she looked into the room but didn't see him.
Wan Ge muttered to himself suspiciously: "Hey, isn't he very weak, why is he not here so early?" ”
, she put down the medicine bowl and went out to find him...... Jun Wange inquired all the way to know that Jing Muhui was walking towards Qin Xuan, she groped her way to Qin Xuan, and finally found it, and just stood at the door when she heard a burst of piano music drifting in.
The ethereal tunes, rising and falling, like the rhythm of flowing clouds and water, make people find the long-awaited tranquility in the silent morning.
She stood under the peach blossom tree and listened quietly, not noticing that the people in the attic were watching her.
"Knock"
The piano stopped suddenly, and she looked up curiously at the attic window, but inadvertently collided with his gaze.
She hurriedly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes in a bit of panic.
"How do you know this king is here?"
He went downstairs and approached her and asked, "I was supposed to serve you medicine, but I didn't see you and came out to look for you, and the others I asked found it." ”
She explained.
"You don't need to boil medicine in the future, you don't need to. The king knows what is going on in his own heart, as long as you don't mention it to anyone. ”
He said lightly, and she was worried: "But, how can you get better if you don't take medicine, you can't keep delaying it, right?" ”
"No problem, it won't be long before it gets better, but when it hurts, you just don't let people see it." ”
His voice was still cold, but Wan Ge heard a trace of bitterness in this cold voice.
"That'...... How long will it take? ”
She couldn't help but ask, "How long?" ”
He fell into deep thought, then smiled wryly and said, "It's going to be fine!" ”
She looked at his somewhat melancholy face, and stopped talking...... "By the way, what's your name?" ”
Under the peach tree, he looked at the woman who was so worried about strangers, and spoke slowly.
She looked up and smiled: "Master said that I was an orphan and wanted me to be like a gentleman, so he named me 'Jun Wange'." ”
"Jun Wan Song ......"
He whispered softly and then said, "Jing Muhui"
。
She raised her eyes and looked at him stunned, he looked at her blankly and said, "Stay here and take care of me." ”
"What? But I have to go back......"
Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her.
"Only you know about the king, and no one else knows. Besides, this king doesn't want too many people to know, so stay! ”
Although his tone is still flat and cold, making people unable to hear joy, there is a kind of domineering that cannot be refused.
"I, I ......"
Her willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled together, and there seemed to be something unspeakable.
She was about to say something when she was interrupted by a voice behind her...... "Lord Wang......"
The housekeeper Ye Zhong stood at the door of Qin Xuan and looked at the two people under the peach tree, the man was long and magnificent, and the woman's eyes were as clear as water and beautiful as the crescent moon.
The breeze is blowing, the peach blossoms are fluttering, sprinkled around them, like a picture scroll, they really can't bear to be disturbed, but the palace is coming, and they can't delay for a moment.
He looked up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Qi Lord, the emperor sent someone to take the prince into the palace for a banquet."
Ye Zhong said respectfully, "Well, then it's okay, you stay here, at least in a few months, whether to go or stay with you before making a decision, this king will enter the palace and find Ye Zhong if there is something." ”
As he spoke, he didn't allow her to reply, so he left her with a thin and elegant back and walked away......
