Chapter 43: Thrilling Arrows

In the Jade Immortal Palace, at this time, everyone has already rested, and if they haven't fallen asleep, they only leave a small bean lamp, or read a book, or embroider. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but tonight, different.

The hall was brightly lit, and there were eunuchs who kept urging the imperial doctor to go to the Jade Immortal Palace. The palace maids and eunuchs who came in and out changed batch after batch, and basins of blood and water were brought out of the inner hall, which was shocking to watch. Everyone was walking around, the wind was blowing under their feet, they were busy, sweating profusely, their faces were sad, but no one dared to speak or speak.

In the main hall, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, Concubine Shu and Concubine De sat in turn, the tea on the table did not move, and their eyes stared at the strings of beaded curtains hanging down in front of them without blinking. Through the beaded curtain, you can also see that in the inner room, several people wearing imperial doctor's uniforms are nervously busy with the things in hand.

I don't know how long later, the bead curtain was lifted, and several people came from inside, led by an old man in his forties, whose clothes were covered with blood. The old man quickly walked up to the emperor and wanted to kneel, but was stopped by the emperor. "Okay, don't worry about these false courtesies at this time, Imperial Doctor Chen, you are the chief envoy of the Tai Hospital Department, you come to tell me, how is the situation?"

Imperial Physician Chen bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, the arrow feather went straight through the chest, but fortunately it did not hit the heart, and the minister had used medicine to stop the bleeding." ”

"That means Concubine Li is fine." The Queen Mother stood up and asked incredulously.

The old imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the next words made his heart tremble. "Although the sharp arrow did not hit the heart, it was only two fingers away from the heart, if you rashly pull out the arrow, I am afraid that it will hurt Concubine Li's heart, and it is likely to cause the blood to flow non-stop, and then the bleeding will not stop, then the situation will be very serious."

"Can't stop the bleeding? So what have you been tinkering with for a long time? The emperor said angrily, he thought they had come out to tell him the good news, and now he told him that the situation would be worse, how could he not be angry.

Several imperial doctors were so frightened that they knelt on the ground in unison, and being an imperial doctor is like that. The objects of service are all the queen mothers and concubines in the palace, and the contacts are all imperial and powerful women with high power status, but if you can't treat these people carefully, your head will have to be moved immediately. It can be said that he earned family honor with his life on the knife edge. "The emperor forgives the sins."

The emperor weakly returned to the seat, propped his hands on the table and rubbed his brows in pain. Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother reminded: "Your Majesty, you have to go back to the palace to rest, you will go on the expedition tomorrow, and you can't be tired, there are mourning families and them watching here!" ”

After a few rubbings, it finally got better. The emperor raised his head again and said, "I can't sleep. Then he looked at the imperial doctors kneeling on the ground and said, "Is there any other way?" ”

Imperial Envoy Chen said: "Your Majesty, the courtier's medical skills are not proficient, and he can't think of any other way at present." ”

"The arrow must be pulled, and the man must be saved, and you weigh it yourself."

What the emperor means is that saving Concubine Li will have their benefits, and if you can't save Concubine Li, they will look good. Imperial Doctor Chen could only say: "The ministers and other imperial doctors must do their best to save Concubine Li." ”

"I'm going to see her." The emperor nodded, got up and walked into the inner room, and when the imperial doctors saw that the emperor had entered, they all got up and followed in. Concubine De wanted to stop the emperor, thinking that the blood was unlucky, but she was so frightened by the queen mother's sentence "You should be honest with the mourning family" that she didn't dare to say a word. In the words of the Queen Mother: Let the emperor go up to see her for the last time and say goodbye. Concubine Shu wondered in her heart, it was unknown whether people could be saved, so why did she go to say goodbye!

"Imperial Doctor Fang."

The imperial physician who was walking at the back heard the voice, turned around, and saw that the Queen Mother was already standing in front of him, so he hurriedly bowed down and asked, "The Queen Mother has other instructions." ”

"You are the best surgeon in the Imperial Doctor's Department, and you should perform this part of pulling out the arrow!"

Imperial Doctor Fang glanced up at the Queen Mother with some embarrassment, the corners of his eyes were slightly clustered, and said: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, this matter of pulling out the arrow was originally arranged by the ministers to carry it out, but ...... But ......"

"But what?"

Imperial Doctor Fang uncovered his sleeves, revealing his wrist, a large piece of redness and swelling on his wrist was particularly eye-catching, and the Queen Mother asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"Just now inside, the minister and several imperial doctors were busy, and suddenly a palace maid accidentally spilled tea on the minister's hand, and it became like this. Imperial Doctor Chen was afraid of a case, so he had already asked Imperial Doctor Lu to replace the minister. ”

How can it be so coincidental? But it's not surprising that it's scrambling inside, and bumps and bumps are always inevitable. "What do you think are the chances of her living?"

This question is not easy to answer, saying that she can live, this is not what the Queen Mother wants to hear, saying that she can't live, so what if Concubine Li really lives? Imperial Doctor Fang could only say vaguely: "This, it's hard for the minister to say." ”

"Alright, let's go in!" A bunch of minions on the wall.

Which girl is the person who scalded him with water, could it be her? It's better not to, or if she messes up her plans, she'll make her life and death impossible.

In the inner room, Mo Yu was lying on the bed lifelessly, covered in blood and sweat, and Xiang Rong was trying to wipe it, but it was wiped layer after layer. In the chest, a palm-long arrow stood there fiercely, as if it could end the life of this body at any time.

Her hands were cold and limp, completely devoid of the dexterity and liveliness of playing the piano. The emperor wrapped his hands around the backs of her palms and hands, and failed to warm her hands for half a minute. "Mo'er, you must hold on, I still have a lot to say to you!"

Xiang Rong's tears that he had originally endured, after hearing this, finally couldn't help falling anymore, and choked up: "Your Majesty, will there be anything wrong with my mother?" ”

"No, she's so strong, she's been a strong woman since she was a child." A woman who can escape from the fire, a woman who can live in the mountains for ten years, is not an ordinary woman.

"But the mother didn't move, I talked to her, and she ignored me." Xiangrong looked sadly at the motionless mother on the bed, she didn't wake up, but when she was in pain, her brows were tangled together, which made her feel distressed.

How can he not feel distressed, this kind of pain, if it happens to a man, I am afraid he will not be able to stand it, not to mention that she is a weak woman.

The bead curtain moved, and Gonggong Ma walked in, went to the emperor's side and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is looking for you." ”

"Mo'er, wait, I'll come back to see you later?" Then he said to Xiang Rong: "Don't cry, Mo'er usually spoils you people so much, she doesn't want to see you cry." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Yun Sheng behind him heard the emperor's last words, his eyes couldn't help but heat, he lowered his head slightly, and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes without anyone paying attention.

The emperor gently put down Moyu's hand, as if he was afraid of hurting the person on the bed, and then got up and said to the imperial doctors: "You have pulled this arrow for me, if she has a case, I will pull out your head." ”

The imperial doctors were startled, hurriedly knelt down, and shouted in unison, "The ministers obey the order." ”

The pressure of life is at stake, and I believe that these people will do their best. The emperor said to Ma Gong: "Let's go!" Well, you asked someone to make me a pick-me-up. Just took two steps, thought about it and said, "Forget it, everyone is so busy, don't waste time." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When they came to the palace, Concubine Shu and Concubine De were no longer there, and the Queen Mother explained: "It's already late at night, I'll let them go to the hall to rest, and come back tomorrow morning to take care of Concubine Li." ”

The emperor walked to the main hall and sat down, and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

"Go to sleep, too! I have to go on the expedition tomorrow, and your body can't stand it. ”

"The queen mother doesn't need to persuade me, tonight, I can't sleep anywhere, let's stay here, besides, I have to wait for the night."

Waiting for the night sky, naturally waiting for the results he brought, the Queen Mother's heart couldn't help but sink, and her face turned slightly pale. "Emperor, although there are some things that the mourning family should not say, but you are about to go on the expedition, and the mourning family has to make it clear to you before you go on the expedition, not only for you, but also for the sake of the Zhou country."

"But it doesn't hurt to say the queen mother."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, and as soon as she said this, there was no room for retraction. "The people of the Ji family are really loyal, and the women of the Ji family are also women who don't let their eyebrows go. Concubine Li blocked this arrow for you, if ...... If there is a case, how does the emperor want to give an explanation to the people of the Ji family? ”

"Mo'er will be fine."

"You know her situation, what if there is a real case?"

The Queen Mother's words were not optimistic, and they were always harsh when they sounded, and the emperor's eyes began to become sharp, and he said, "What does the Queen Mother want to say?" ”

"When the old lady saved the life of the mourning family, Master Ji also made great contributions to Zhou Guo, and now his daughter has saved your life again. If you are a concubine...... Emperor, you must be kind to the people of the Ji family. ”

"Then according to the queen mother's meaning, how should I treat them well?"

"Back."

Speaking of which, the Queen Mother's intentions couldn't be more obvious. She wanted to win over the Ji family to consolidate her position, and in exchange for sincerity, she was allowed the position of the queen of the Ji family.

The people of the Ji family are loyal to the imperial court, and they have made great contributions to the founding of the Zhou State, in fact, it is reasonable to reward the daughter of the Ji family with a posteriority. But the queen mother brought it up, and he was not very happy. He didn't understand that with him on the throne, the position of the Queen Mother would never change, what was she still worried about, wasn't his favor for the Guo family enough? "What the queen mother said is to let the daughter of the Ji family be the queen."

"To be clear, the mourning family hopes that you can establish Ji Jade as the queen of the Ji family."

He really felt sorry for Moyu, she was lying on the bed and her life and death were uncertain, and her family was planning how to use her death to make the lintel of the Ji family go to the next level. "Then why can't it be Moyu?"

The Queen Mother was stunned, if the emperor had such an idea, it would not be good, Ji Moyu was not so easy to control. said: "First, she is not a concubine, and her identity is always inferior." Second, if she can escape this time, she will definitely lose a lot physically, and she is not suitable to sit in the main middle palace. More importantly, whether she can survive this catastrophe. ”

"I'm sure he'll make it. With me by her side, she will definitely wake up well. ”

"The emperor has the protection of the real dragon, which can naturally bring blessings to Concubine Li, but the emperor, you can't leave Concubine Li awake for a day, you won't go out for a day, after all, the soldiers of the three armies are still waiting for you!"

The emperor lowered his head, he understood these truths, but if he just left her and left, he was not at ease.

Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother continued: "Emperor, now that there are constant external worries, you can't be too much of a child's private feelings, the country and the beauty, the people and the lover, which is more important, you know in your own heart. The mourners also hope that you can make the right choice. ”

"Queen Mother, I know."

Seeing that he agreed, the Queen Mother finally smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is a mourning family in the palace, and the mourning family assures you that Concubine Li will be fine." ”

The three armies were assembled, everything was ready, and when it was dawn, he raised his arms and shouted. The Queen Mother assured him at this moment that the back house was stable. No matter what her purpose was, he was still a little grateful in his heart, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

"Well, that's ...... back."

"Let's talk about this when I get back!" Now he's not in the mood for that.

The bead curtain sounded again, and the imperial doctors came out one after another, and the imperial doctor Chen, who was the leader, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the arrow has been pulled out." ”

A palace maid brought out a tray, which contained the arrows that had just been pulled out of Moyu's body, which was red and shocking. The emperor picked it up and looked at it carefully, the arrow was about a foot long, and his index finger was thick. Although this kind of arrow is slightly shorter than that used on the battlefield, it is suitable for close-range shooting, and the target is small, but its strength and lethality are definitely not smaller than military arrows.

"How's Concubine Li?"

The imperial doctor replied: "I have already taken the medicine, and at the latest at noon tomorrow, if Concubine Li can wake up, it means that her life is worry-free." ”

Tomorrow afternoon, he can't wait. "From now on, you take turns to rest until she wakes up, and no one can leave this Jade Immortal Palace."

Imperial Doctor Chen said: "The ministers have already discussed it just now, we will divide into two teams and take turns to guard, as soon as Concubine Li has something, we will know." ”

"Well, that's good, then let's prepare according to what you have divided!"

A palace maid came in and led a few imperial doctors to the side hall to rest. The emperor turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, you can also go back and rest!" ”

The Queen Mother nodded, the answer is already known, and there is no need to stay here any longer. "Okay, tomorrow morning, Concubine Shu and Concubine De will come over." Then surrounded by everyone, he returned to the Ciming Palace.

Gonggong Ma came in from outside the hall, holding a tray in his hand, walked to the emperor's side and said, "Your Majesty, the servant has cooked you a bowl of ginseng tea, you drink a little first." ”

The emperor looked at this father-in-law who had been with him for more than ten years, he didn't want to trouble the palace maids, so he went to the kitchen to get it himself. So he didn't shirk, took the teacup he handed over, tasted it, and said with a smile: "You haven't been in the kitchen for a long time!" It's hard for you. ”

Ma Gonggong scratched his head a little embarrassed, the emperor doesn't often say distressing things. "Slaves are not embarrassed, the emperor is hard."

The emperor put down the empty bowl and ordered: "During the time that I am not in the palace, here in the Jade Immortal Palace, do you need to keep an eye and understand what I mean?" ”

"The minions understand. Your Majesty, if you let the servants follow, I'm afraid the rest of the people won't be taken care of. ”

"Alright, it's not the first time I've gone out to fight, and I didn't have you anymore before. I'm more worried about the palace than on the battlefield. ”

Ma Gonggong knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "The emperor can rest assured, even if the slave fights for his own life, he will definitely protect Concubine Li's mother safe and sound." ”

"Well, get up! I believe in you. You should also squint for a while, and I will go in and see Mo'er. ”

Ma Gonggong got up and looked at the majestic figure that disappeared behind the bead curtain, he was tired like never before. The tone of what he said just now was also worried and eager that he had never felt before, I am afraid that the emperor's heart has been shaken!
