The one hundred and ninety-third round

Li Chengqian woke up from his dream when it was close to evening. He dreamed that Qin Ying was facing the wall, standing in a dark prison in Dali Temple Prison, the Taoist robe on his body was loose and gray, very thin and thin.

He didn't know why she was locked up here, Dali Temple Prison was obviously a place to hold convicted officials, although Qin Ying was not honest in the palace, she didn't make a big mistake to be imprisoned.

Without thinking about anything else, he stretched out his hand and called her name, but was mercilessly stopped by an iron railing, and his voice was silent for no apparent reason.

And Qin Ying seemed to sense that someone was coming, so she turned around and smiled at him. It was a very light smile, but it was as warm as the spring sun. Li Chengqian's right hand crossed the railing and tried his best to reach for her sleeve.

In the next second, the scene suddenly changed.

On the empty field in Dali Temple, a wooden platform was temporarily erected, Qin Ying's hands and feet were chained, and she climbed the steps step by step, followed by a few people who were as bound as her, and the five wrestlers pushed these people who were unwilling to walk on the Huangquan Road, looking very impatient. The Dali Siqing on the high platform had a straight face, asking Qin Ying and them to move faster, so as not to delay the time of the execution.

Qin Ying's green silk had just been bundled into a meticulous appearance, and her whole person seemed a little more energetic, as if her more than a month of prison life had not destroyed her body and mind. Walking in front of the knife wielder without squinting, she lifted her robe and knelt down, and asked softly, "Can you speed up when you start later, Qin is more afraid of pain." ”

The man with the knife looked at Qin Ying's trembling eyelashes, and said, "The knife has just been sharpened." ”

She closed her eyes, and the sound of the wind was whispering. It seems that someone is tossing and whimpering, crying about the unkindness of heaven and earth and the injustice of creation. Then she smiled and thought to herself: As early as ten years ago, when she entered the palace to pray for that person, she should have known that the life and death of this life could not be created by heaven and earth, but only by His Majesty. The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, right?

Li Chengqian's eyes widened, and he watched this qiē in disbelief. What did Qin Ying do to encounter such a murderous disaster? His heart felt as if he was being held by someone's hand, and he could barely stand still.

He saw Qin Ying on the high platform pursing his lips and saying something to the person holding the knife and waiting for the order, and finally smiled. That feeling of suffocation came back again and again. It was dark in front of him, and he staggered to the stage with a gasp.

When Dali Siqing threw the order sign, Li Chengqian's heart trembled, and he subconsciously closed his eyes, and felt warm blood splashes on his cheeks, flowing through a line of winding traces.

At the moment before he fell unconscious, Li Chengqian was finally able to make a sound. He cried bitterly, His Royal Highness the Prince, who had not shown his affection since he was sensible, vented his sadness with tears for the first time.

"Qin Ying......" Li Chengqian struggled to pull the sheet, his fingers were so hard that they turned white, and he groaned in pain.

"Your Highness is awake." The official maid who was guarding the couch glanced back behind her, and hurriedly ordered, "Quickly bring a glass of warm water." She was a little strange why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince woke up and recited the name of the Qin Physician instead of calling for water, could it be that in His Royal Highness the Prince's heart, the storage of the Qin Physician was more important than water?

Thinking of this, the official maid added as if she were happy: "Send someone to the apse to find the Qin Doctor to come and have a look." ”

Li Chengqian's face was not half flushed, and he reluctantly drank two sips of water from the palace attendant's hand, and continued to arouse Qin Ying. The dream was so real that he couldn't even convince himself, and he just thought it was a normal nightmare.

After a while, seeing Qin Ying's shadow pacing out from behind the landscape screen, Li Chengqian sighed in disappointment.

Qin Ying sat in front of the couch, checked his pulse through a plain white hand towel, and confirmed that the fever had subsided, and the sympathetic Qin attendant asked these officials and maids to go down to rest first.

Li Chengqian looked at her unharmed, and felt happy for no reason. No matter how the nightmare came from, now, at the moment, Qin Ying was still sitting by his side at this time, and that was enough.

He stared at her with palpitations for a long time, and it wasn't until Qin Ying took the lead in turning his face and fiddling with the wood grain on the medical box as if nothing had happened, that he remembered one thing from his nightmare: "What happened to the poisoning case of the medicine boy reviewed by Dali Temple?" ”

Her hand froze in mid-air, and it took a long time to withdraw it and put it on her lap, and she sat upright: "I was released on bail for a lot of money, and now I don't know where I am." Qin Ying hadn't paid attention to the news of Dali Temple in the past few days, but on the eve of the review of the edict, she heard the hairpin lady mention it. The hairpin lady has dealings with the adults of the Ministry of Rites, and those people are very familiar with the affairs of the court, and they know everything about the wind and grass.

Li Chengqian has been sick recently, and apart from listening to the corner of the Hanlin Courtyard all the time, he has never understood the big and small things outside the East Palace. I almost forgot that there were two medicine boys in Dali Temple who put cinnabar on their decoctions. Today, I dreamed of Dali Temple, and I remembered that the incident of the two medicine boys had not been resolved.

――Was he rescued? Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes, feeling very unhappy.

The two little medicine boys had never met him, and it stands to reason that he had no motive to harm him, but they did do the poisoning, and someone should have deliberately instructed them.

The man borrowed the hand of the medicine boy to get rid of the sick prince, and he may be thinking about beating the prince's position behind his back.

But no matter how sick and weak he is, he is not a soft persimmon that is flattened and kneaded by others!

Li Chengqian sat up suddenly and said, "...... His Majesty also knows about this, why hasn't there been any movement to investigate? ”

Qin Ying couldn't hear the waves in his words, but she could also feel his resentment, and she replied in a low voice: "It is said that the medicine boy has been released on bail by a certain adult, and now he has long since returned to his hometown, and if he wants to be investigated, he can only be held accountable to that adult's head." And that adult is the Shangshu of the third grade, even His Majesty is afraid of the troops under him, how can the people in Dali Temple who look at people's faces and act be traced, it's just over. ”

He went through the Sanpin Shangshu in his mind, and only after a while did he say in a dumb voice: "Did Hou Junji intervene?" He had just subsided from his fever, and now his mouth was so dry that his throat was like a handful of chicken feathers stuffed with discomfort, but he still forced himself to speak.

Qin Ying leaned over and poured a glass of water and handed it over, but Li Chengqian didn't answer, just looked at himself. She gritted her teeth, resisted the thought of throwing her sleeves and leaving, held the cup to his lips, and swallowed it in one gulp.

From this point of view, she really confirmed her official position as a doctor.

"What kind of calculation he had in his heart to save those two medicine boys, no one can say." Qin Ying put down the cup and sighed, "Your Highness remembers to be careful of this person in everything. (To be continued.) )
