Chapter 2 May she be well
That night, Zhao Heqiao's spirit was a little sluggish, and when she was having dinner, she dismissed the palace maid and aunt, leaving Zheng Zexin alone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a few bites of food, she put down her chopsticks and said to him, "You, eat them all." ”
After speaking, he stopped looking at him, turned over and lay asleep on the step.
Is it too unpalatable, Zheng Zexin tasted it, although it was a little lighter, but it was still very good, looked at the back of her head depressedly, and said carefully: "Princess? ”
No response.
Call again: "Princess? ”
Still no response.
"Public ......"
"Shi Mo Yu, you're so noisy." A faint voice came.
Zheng Zexin sensed that something was wrong, and immediately stepped forward to help her up, her white face revealed red, and she could feel the heat on her body through her clothes.
"Why is it so hot," he touched her forehead and said anxiously, "I'll call the Imperial Doctor." ”
"Don't go!" She really opened her eyes and said, "Carry me to bed." ”
"This ......" still has to be called the Imperial Doctor, he hesitated.
"Huh?" There was anger in his tone, and his small hands were tightly gripping the hem of his clothes.
"Yes." He cannot disobey the will of his master.
After putting her on the bed, she pushed him away, "Stand far away, and say yes to anyone who asks you for a while, understand?" ”
"Yes."
"Good." She pulled the quilt over and wrapped herself in it.
Aunt Yang's voice went out of the door: "Princess, the imperial doctor is here." ”
A moment later, several people entered the house. Aunt Yang followed the Imperial Doctor and glanced at him as she passed by Zheng Zexin's side.
"Princess," Aunt Yang lifted off the covers.
"Imperial Doctor Yan is coming! The princess is so hot. She helped Zhao Heqiao up.
The imperial doctor came over to check Zhao Heqiao's pulse, "Princess, ...... are you?"
"I always failed to make a kite this afternoon, so I wanted to think about it in the bed, and I would continue to get into it when I had no appetite for dinner."
"Princess, you are ......," Imperial Physician Yan wanted to say that it was a cold wind.
"Am I fooling around?" Zhao Heqiao instantly became serious.
"Don't dare." Imperial Physician Yan knelt down.
"Okay, let's see what medicine I prescribe that doesn't conflict with the medicine I usually use, and help me reduce fever. Others, needless to say. Zhao Heqiao squinted at him.
"The old man knows." Imperial Physician Yan went to the side to write a list of medicines, asked the child to pick them up, and then told the palace maid how to use these medicines.
Aunt Yang walked up to Zheng Zexin and whispered, "Zheng Guard, did the princess really do what she said today?" ”
"Yes."
"She's not running around, is she?"
"Yes."
"Aunt Yang, I'm dizzy, you help me press it." Zhao Heqiao called.
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do next, the princess has to rest early today, you go back to the room first, and remember everything you should remember earlier." Aunt Yang instructed him.
"Yes." Zheng Zexin sighed imperceptibly and turned to leave.
Lighting the candle, he opened the booklet, and looked seriously, he usually had a headache when he read words, forcing himself to read it, and chewing every word silently in his heart.
The princess had to drink medicine three times a day and take a medicinal bath every night......
Princesses will develop allergies to these things: perilla......
He clutched his chest, feeling that it was sore and sore, about to overflow something, he thought that the puppy he had raised when he was eight years old was so small that people loved it, but he drowned in the back, he felt very uncomfortable, and now he felt it even stronger than then.
Turning another page, he struggled to memorize the words to heart.
Time passed unconsciously, his stomach screamed, and he put down the booklet only to find that it was already the next day. Rubbing his eyes, he got up and went to the door to do a few punches, and his spirit returned.
Consciously go to the door of the princess's bedroom and stand like a bell.
When Aunt Yang came to greet him, she saw him, gave him a approving look, and then pushed the door in.
"Princess Gui'an."
"En......" Zhao Heqiao had just woken up, her face was still a little pale, and the palace maid was combing her hair.
She saw Zheng Zexin by the door and said with her mouth: "Morning." ”
Zheng Ze's confidence was hot, and he bowed his head slightly, indicating that he returned the salute.
In the following days, Zheng Zexin became more and more stable, more and more like an upright guard, and Aunt Yang was also surprised by the growth of this little guard, and praised the princess for choosing a good person.
Zhao Heqiao likes to tease him when no one is around, he has no objections, as long as he sees her happy, he is satisfied.
He shortened the time to visit relatives at the Zheng family, and as long as he had spare time, he concentrated on practicing. Zhao Heqiao longed for the world outside the palace, but his body couldn't move much, so he thought that he had become stronger and better, so he could carry her on his back to see.
However, he thought too simply......
After staying in the palace for more than a year, Zheng Zexin has grown stronger, I don't know if I thought he was a sixteen or seventeen guy, in this regard, Zhao Heqiao, who originally went to Zheng Zexin's collarbone, is now only to his chest, in this regard, she said that she was helpless, although she was older, it was so difficult to grow up.
Calmly moving his gaze back, Zhao Heqiao said: "Zexin, tomorrow is my birthday." ”
She called him to the outside world, and Zheng Shouwei called him by his name in private.
"Yes." Zheng Zexin kept grinding ink in his hands.
She knocked lightly on the table, half loudly, and frowned, "Gift." ”
He held back a smile and said solemnly: "Princess, tonight, rest early." ”
There was already some tacit understanding between the two under the impetus of time, and Zhao Heqiao's eyebrows unfolded, as if he was careless, "En......"
Back at the residence, he prepared all the things, and when the time came, he sneaked outside Zhao Heqiao's house, hid in a tree, and after confirming that there was no one nearby, he threw stones to the window, throwing one at a while, and when it came to the third, the window was opened, and Zhao Heqiao poked his head out.
He jumped onto the window, opened his right arm, and motioned for the other to move, "Come." ”
Zhao Heqiao stretched out his arms and jumped lightly on him, and he hurriedly wrapped his arms around her waist, "Let's go." ”
He studied the routes and time points of the palace maids and guards on duty nearby, and carefully avoided them every time he staggered the other party's line of sight.
He led her to an old temple and handed her the men's clothes he had prepared beforehand, "Put them on." He also took off his guard clothes to reveal his civilian clothes.
After the two had changed their outfits, he led her around a few corners to a thick, tattered wall. After getting rid of the covered cart and weeds, a low hole in the ground came into view.
"Dog hole?" Zhao Heqiao asked.
Zheng Zexin thought that she would be unwilling, and was trying to comfort her and say that it would be good to endure it for a while.
"How did you find that?" She patted him on the shoulder, "You're getting smarter!" ”
Her face was tense because she couldn't contain her excitement, and before he could say anything, she had already deftly drilled out.
He touched his nose and followed.
made a silent gesture to Zhao Heqiao, and then hugged her and lay on the ground, giving them the best cover in the night, and the nearby Praetorian Guards did not find a figure. A carriage came, it was a special purchase truck for the palace, Zheng Zexin whispered in Zhao Heqiao's ear: "Hold tight,", and then stared at the wheels with his eyes, when the rear of the car just passed their position for a minute, he immediately used the wall as a fulcrum, used internal strength, kicked hard, and wiped the ground to the rear of the car, immediately grabbed the bottom of the car with both hands and quickly climbed up, his feet passed through the gap between Zhao Heqiao's legs, and stood on the side of the bracket at the bottom of the car platform, and at the same time his hands were also in the right position, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zhao Heqiao saw that his feet were about to touch the ground, he also tacitly hooked his feet and put them on his legs.
Although he thought in advance that this would be the case, he still couldn't help but be embarrassed, he ignorantly remembered that he said in the school that men and women could not kiss, and secretly despised it, and kept doing the other party is a princess, the princess is still young, and he treats himself as an elder brother and so on.
The carriage stopped, and he listened intently, making sure that there was no one nearby, and carefully unloaded his feet first, "Princess, we have arrived." ”
The other party quickly let go of him, and then gently left his body without saying a word, and crawled out from under the car board.
Zheng Zexin let go of his hand, fell directly to the ground, rubbed his hands and feet left and right, took a few deep breaths, and climbed out from under the car board.
Seeing that Zhao Heqiao was rubbing her legs with the carriage, she squatted down, held her feet, and pressed gently, "Are you still sour?" ”
She frowned slightly and pulled her foot out of his hand, "Alright, let's go." ”
He got up and took her hand and pointed in the direction of the south, "Go there." ”
She pushed him away, moving forward quickly.
Are you angry? As a princess, it must be uncomfortable to suffer such a grievance for leaving the palace. He felt like he was going to apologize.
Catching up, he saw Zhao Heqiao holding his chest and panting, he secretly screamed that he almost forgot, so without saying a word, he bent down and let her fall on his back naturally, and then put her legs up. Sensing that the other party was struggling, he softened his voice: "Princess, don't be childish, you can see the fun in a while." ”
After a while, I only heard her say, "...... I'll be fifteen tomorrow......"
"Got it, got it." He was completely coaxing a child.
She sighed and muttered, "Obviously, I used to tease you......"
He took her to a bustling bazaar, where many stalls had been set up and all sorts of knick-knacks were emerging.
Her eyes lit up, and she completely released her joy, and the corners of her mouth kept curved.
"I want this...... This one also has to ...... This is not bad......"
After a while, Zheng Zexin's back not only carried a person, but also a lot of gadgets attached to it.
The water pavilion in front of him suddenly became bright red, and if you looked closely, some fireballs were flying up and down. The people passing by them hurriedly followed and vaguely heard: "There is a magic trick ahead, go and see ......"
"Zexin, let's go and see." Zhao Heqiao said.
"However, it's too crowded over there......" Zheng Zexin hesitated.
"You're here, it's fine." She trusted him.
"Okay, you can hold on to me in a moment." He carried her on his back and squeezed into the crowd.
He chose a location not far from the water pavilion, and in order to make it easier for Zhao Heqiao to see clearly, he lifted her up again. The on-stage fireball show has just ended. An old gentleman came out to say a few pleasantries, and then announced the name of the next performance.
"The Great Change? Interesting. Zhao Heqiao said happily, "I heard that this trick troupe is composed of people from different countries, and the tricks are a masterpiece, and they will perform once in every place, which is a rare opportunity, but I didn't expect us to meet it today." ”
Zheng Zexin tightened his arms and moved closer to the stage.
A man in black stood on the stage, his hand would be transformed into a flower and a gauze, and then his hand would be empty again, the audience applauded and cheered for a moment, he asked people to put a big box on the stage, and the two people next to him worked together to open the box and open the internal force to show it forward, and then cover it and put it on the ground, the man in black appeared a piece of cloth in his hand, he covered the cloth on the box and shook it away, and then shook it away, and then blocked the box from moving, he lightly clicked on the ground with one foot, and then the cloth burned from below, When it was halfway through the burn, you could vaguely see what was on the box, as the flames spread, the blocking decreased, and a masked woman appeared in front of everyone, the man in black waved lightly to make the remnants of the flame disappear, and then covered the box again, opened it instantly, and a lot of butterflies flew out of it, he turned the box over and showed the empty inside, and then put the box and covered it again and then opened it immediately, the masked woman just now appeared again, she walked out of the box and thanked the audience with the man in black.
The onlookers reacted violently for a while, and they all rushed to the water pavilion, and many people swam in the same direction even after falling into the water.
Zheng Zexin and Zhao Heqiao were forced to move forward by the crowd, the impact of the crowd was large, Zheng Zexin was accidentally hit for a while, his body was unstable and tilted, and his hands were not stable.
Zheng Zexin secretly screamed badly, pushed away the person next to him, laboriously reached the shore, and immediately threw himself into the water to find Zhao Heqiao's figure.
The water surface is dazed, coupled with the dark night, it is extremely difficult to find people, and the longer it goes, the more dangerous it becomes, and the panic in Zheng Zexin's heart rises sharply. Something flashed in his sight, and he looked at it intently, wasn't it the windmill in Zhao Heqiao's hand! The hand holding the windmill was about to be submerged in the water, Zheng Zexin swam over quickly, kicked away the people and things that were obstacles, and when he almost reached that position, even the shadow of the windmill was gone. He dived into the water, exploring everything he touched, and finally caught a hand, and he dragged the whole person into his arms, and the familiar feeling made him not hesitate, and then surfaced.
He led her to find a clearing and carefully placed the person on the ground, "Lotus buckwheat! ”
At a loss, he could only shake her gently, "Wake up......"
Zhao Heqiao didn't react at all.
He didn't dare to probe her breathing, he was afraid of knowing the bad outcome, so he panicked and pulled passers-by, and asked inarticulately, "Big ...... Save...... Husband...... Where......"
A gentle female voice remembered, "Is anyone looking for a doctor?" ”
He followed the sound and saw a woman in white carrying a medicine box not far away, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull her to Zhao Heqiao's side.
The woman told him to get out of the way, and then pressed Zhao Heqiao's abdomen, after a few repetitions, Zhao Heqiao coughed and spit out a stream of water, and the woman helped her up to make her turn over, gently patting her on the back.
Zhao Heqiao opened her eyes, Zheng Zexin immediately approached and let her lean in her arms, the woman pinched her pulse next to her and carefully diagnosed, then rolled her eyelids and checked her tongue, and finally took out a pill and covered her mouth for her to swallow.
"Why is this girl's body and bones so bad, it is a miracle that she has survived until now."
"Doctor!" Zheng Zexin said anxiously.
The woman took out the paper from the medicine box and put it on the ground, then wrote something on it with fine gray carbon, and handed it to Zheng Zexin: "This prescription can make her last a few more years, if you want my help, go to Jinlan Villa to find me, remember, my name is Lan Zijun, and Junzi Lan writes upside down." ”
Zheng Zexin took good care of it and thanked him solemnly.
Lan Zijun waved his hand and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.
