Chapter Twenty-Seven: Awakening

"I promise!"

Wu Li was overjoyed: "Happy! I like it. She squinted her eyes and calculated: "Seven days later, it will be the twentieth day of the lunar month, and on the auspicious day, we will get married." She suddenly blushed, squinted her eyes and looked at Tairan, looking like a little daughter: "I will go back to the palace immediately to report to my father...... Someone will come tomorrow to discuss marriage with you. With that, she put on her hat, jumped out of the window, and jumped out of the window.

More deeply exposed, a cold moon quietly poked its head out of the corner of the west building, shining on a lonely figure in front of the bed.

calmly facing Yanran on the bed, she had been sitting for half the night.

He thought about it a lot, and it was as if he didn't think about anything. Just sitting like this, like countless nights, he sat in front of her grave, staring coldly at the noisy red dust, thoughtless.

It's just that at that time, his heart was as cold and lonely as an ancient well, but now, it is numb after despair.

Yanran, this time, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to accompany you anymore.

After some time, he got up and took off his coat, moved her towards the bed, and then lay down on her side and took her in his arms, just as they had slept together as they had when they were children.

He traced her cheeks, her eyebrows, her nose and lips over and over again with his fingers, carving every curve of her in his heart.

I only wish that at this moment, the heavens and the earth will collapse and all things will be destroyed. Yanran, I will always be with you.

On the second day, Tairan carved a snow lotus mark on the wall of each teahouse and wine shop.

The chief chamberlain in the palace brought a group of people to find Tairan and discuss the details of the wedding with him. The chief chamberlain said that the eighth princess also gave a special explanation, asking them to ask for a token from Gongzi Xie.

Calmly gave them the blue water sword at his waist.

On the night of the fourth day, Xue Linglong rushed to the post house and met with Tairan.

Xue Linglong said that Wu Jiang and Wu Li sisters were born to Wu Niangniang in the palace, and Wu Niangniang was not an important concubine, and died early, and the two daughters have been neglected. When they grew up, they had an adventure, got the coveted drug making book "Liuhua Jing" on the rivers and lakes, and learned a drug-making skill. After that, the two often disappeared mysteriously, but they began to spend money lavishly, so they gradually became popular in the palace, and regained the love of the current emperor Xiao Xuan.

Wu Li once suffered from emotional wounds, and then began to indulge, and did a lot of things to seduce young people from good families, but no one in the rivers and lakes knew her true identity.

"So, you already knew that she would promise to detoxify, and I would not escape her palm?" Calmly asked.

Xue Linglong lowered her eyes and said, "Yes." ”

He slammed his fist on the table.

"Even if I had told me all about it at the time, would you have any other choice?" Xue Linglong's face was as usual.

He bowed his head calmly. Yan Ran's life was tied to her, and even if he knew it for a long time, he still had no choice.

"Do you regret coming to her?" Xue Linglong refused to give up and looked at him aggressively.

Tairan's face was ashen, but he stared at her stubbornly: "As long as I can save Yanran, I will never regret it." It's just that I'm not reconciled. ”

is unwilling to live, but can't accompany her. Unwilling to look at her, but unable to get close to her. That's the end of the sowing of fate.

"Your Highness, there is something I have been suspicious about for many years, but I have never dared to ask. Now that I see you like this, I can almost be sure that she is not the daughter of your father? ”

He looked at her calmly and nodded slowly.

"It must be Ashina's bloodline...... she was sad and happy, "If you can take care of her for the rest of your life, it would be a good thing, but unfortunately, she will die after all." ”

On the fifth day, the palace sent a large number of silk and satin clothes, which they had to try one by one calmly, and at least three of the most suitable wedding clothes were selected to be worn on auspicious days.

The ceremonial grandmother in the palace began to explain the details of the wedding to him, teaching him all the things to do, what to say, and the taboos to pay attention to.

On the evening of the sixth day, Wu Li came to the post house again.

"I know you don't want to do it, but I forced you to agree to the marriage. I'm here to remind you that if you think about anything else at the wedding and after you get married, don't blame me for being ruthless. You should know that it's really easy for me to kill people. ”

She looked at Yan Ran and said, "And I have countless ways to use it at your disposal, such as using other means when detoxifying - in fact, I really don't care about doing this, but that doesn't mean I won't do it." It's all in your thoughts. ”

Tairan also looked at Yanran. In six days, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but his eyes were even darker.

"You can rest assured. Since I have agreed, I will not change my mind halfway. ”

Wu Li sat down beside him. "Originally, after receiving the news that Sister Wu Jiang was killed by you, I was going to rush to Chimelong to find you for revenge, but at that time, I happened to have a business on hand and couldn't get out. After dealing with the matter, my father and the emperor received two new beauties, and they feasted and drank every day, and I had to serve the banquet, so it took time. If it weren't for that, we might have met in a different way, and the outcome would have been completely different, and I wouldn't have promised the antidote and you would have died. It can be seen that it is the will of heaven for you and me to meet. ”

Pursed his lips silently.

Wu Li took out a paper bag from her arms: "After a few more days, her poisonous gas has almost entered the heart for four points, since you value her so much, I can't make you feel too sad." Besides, tomorrow is your wedding day, and I don't want to waste time on detoxifying her at that time. This is the antidote I have prepared, you will take it with rice wine later, and you can take it in three times. ”

Calmly took the paper bag and looked at Wu Li with his eyes for the first time: "Thank you!" ”

Wu Li looked at him and said softly: "Marriage is a big deal, even if you don't want to now, you have to pretend to be happy." I haven't seen you laugh yet. ”

Tairan smiled slightly: "Okay." ”

Wu Li was satisfied: "You are the best-looking man I have ever met......" she reluctantly, "I have to go, according to custom, I should not come to see you before we get married...... Tomorrow, I'll wait for you! ”

With that, he turned around and left.

calmly summoned the sword to pick up the book, and asked the two to buy rice wine. He divided the powder into three parts, first mixed one with rice wine, and fed the antidote as usual with the method of feeding ginseng soup. Half a moment later, a large amount of black blood overflowed from Yanran's mouth, and the smell was extremely fishy. Tairan knew that it was poisonous blood, and hurriedly wiped it clean for her. After the bleeding stopped, she fed another antidote, and Yanran vomited blood again, but the color was already dark red. By the time the third antidote was fed, the blood spit out of her mouth was already a normal bright red, and he finally put his mind at ease. Before she woke up, he covered her whole body with a quilt, and as he had done for more than a month, he put his hands into the quilt and changed her clothes.

He didn't want her to know how embarrassing she had been.

About an hour later, Yanran opened her eyes.

As if in a long dream, in the endless darkness, she had heard many voices and felt the jolting of her body. Now, although she opened her eyes, she didn't know who she was, where she came from, and where she was, like an ignorant baby. She blinked in confusion, and at last she saw a man with a high nose and thin lips, looking at her eagerly.

The corners of Yan Ran's mouth slowly curled: "Brother! ”

calmly held her hand: "Yanran, you're finally awake!" ”

Yan Ran touched his hair, his face, his eyes and nose, and touched his mouth: "Brother, I seem to have had a lot of dreams, I see that you have been calling me, calling me all the time...... Brother, you've lost a lot of weight. ”

Calmly put his head in her neck socket: "I'm glad that you're finally back again." Sweet! ”

Yanran put her arms around his neck, and the two were silent for a long time like a reunion after a catastrophe. Memories came to her in the blink of a moment, and she remembered everything that had happened before she fell unconscious.

"Brother, that woman in black is very fierce, I can't beat her, and I can't run away from her. She kept flicking her nails and releasing poison, and I had to hurriedly swallow the three stems and leaves of the Ruthless Flower, which had a detoxifying effect that surpassed that of the crane grass. Then throw small firecrackers to call for help. But by that moment, she had already pounced on me and stretched out her hands to strangle me. ”

Although the matter has long passed, Tai Ran still feels thrilled: "What happened later? ”

"I have no choice but to continue to talk to her, I said, sister, you are so beautiful. She was stunned for a moment. I tried all I could to touch her face, and I had the Ruthless Flower in my hand. I didn't know anything after that. ”

"Is the Ruthless Flower poisonous?"

"It's not poisonous, it can only hallucinate, make people forget their sex, and the devil dies in a daze, so it's called a ruthless flower."

Calmly touched her hair: "It was my prayer that was heard by the ancestors of the Xie family...... Yanran, it was not only the three-stemmed leaves that saved your life, but also your words of praise for her. He told Yan Ran about the matter between Wu Jiang's sisters, "It must have been your praise that reminded her of her sister, so she stopped in an instant when she started, and you had the opportunity to use the ruthless flower." ”

Yan Ran also sighed, feeling that everything seemed to be destined by providence.

"I guess what happened next, brother, you killed Wu Jiang, rescued Minglang, and then found someone to help me detoxify. Isn't that so? ”

Nodding calmly: "That's pretty much it." But my brother is not as great as you think. It wasn't me who saved Minglang, it was with the help of Ahuda that he defeated the assassins himself. I will take you all the way to Huangzhou, and then I will take you here to detoxify. ”

He briefly recounted the experience of Chimelong.

Yan Ran listened silently, she knew that he said that the clouds were light and the wind was light, and there must be countless complications and hardships in it. But he didn't want her to worry, so she didn't worry, she didn't ask.

"Where are we now?"

"In the inn in Qizhou, the capital of Tianqian."

"Who gave me the antidote?"

"Wu Jiang's sister Wu Li."

"Wu Li?" Yanran looked at her brother, her eyes bright but thoughtful, but she didn't say anything more.
