Chapter Seventy-Six: Giving a Helping Hand
There was another burst of thunder outside, and Mu Yan really woke up from his slumber in a daze, because he was now full of bitterness because of the multi-day medication, although he didn't eat anything for a day and didn't feel hungry. Most of the lights in the room were lit, and it seemed that it was already night.
"Rain Hitomi, are you there?" he called weakly, "Lord Rain Hitomi......"
The young man came from outside with a bowl of medicinal food, "Awake?"
"Hmm. “
The man's coat was stained with snow, and even his lips were a little black.
"Lord Yutong, is it snowing so heavily outside Your Highness?"
"Not big. “
"Today's snow must be beautiful, since I can let Lady Yutong stay outside for so long. “
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then he glanced at the unmelted snow on his body with his spare eyes, and said easily: "The snow scene in the palace is similar every year, and there is nothing special, but I lost my mind and watched it more." “
In fact, Yu Tong had just come back from Wenzheng's side, and Xiao Qiyu had explained before that what happened in Wenzheng Hall must not let Mu Yanzhen and Mu Yanxue know.
"Today is very important to Your Majesty, and Lord Yutong should be by His Majesty's side. “
This is the first time that Mu Yanzhen has mentioned Xiao Qiyu in the past few days, if it weren't for this, Yu Tong would have thought that he had forgotten the king's wedding date.
"Your Majesty has someone around you to take care of, you should drink the porridge first. “
"No, I can't eat it. “
"You have been asleep for a day, and you have to eat if you can't eat. After Yu Tong finished speaking, he was going to help him.
"Lord Yutong, can you help me call Zixi Shaoxia?"
"What's wrong?"
"I ......," the young man said, "I'm a little uncomfortable." “
"But you're not feeling well?"
"I woke up with a lot of pain in my chest and I was out of breath. “
Hearing this, Yu Tong immediately put down the porridge bowl, "You wait, I'll go right away!"
After this period of diagnosis and treatment, Mu Yan's condition has really improved a lot, although he can still stay in bed for a long time, but the symptoms of hemoptysis are far less serious than before. It is precisely because of this that Xiao Qiyu specially allowed Zixi and Ruan Feiyan to stay in Daning Palace to serve at any time, could it be that Mu Yanzhen's condition has changed abruptly?
After inviting Zixi and Ruan Feiyan, Yutong waited beside her, and Zixi took the person's pulse, only feeling that it was no different from the past. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Mu Yanzhen winking in the direction where the rain pupil was.
Zixi was puzzled when she heard Ruan Feiyan say, "Lord Yutong, you are here to hinder my senior brother's auscultation." “
"Obstruction?" Rain Hitomi was confused for a moment.
"Lord Yutong," Zixi bowed politely and said, "Lord Muyan has a pulse today that is a little special, please give me some time to distinguish it with peace of mind." “
Yu Tong hesitated for a while, and as soon as he remembered that Ye Chenghui had also made this request, he retreated to the outer hall.
"Thank you both. “
"What do you have to tell me and my brother?"
"I know my life is thanks to the two young heroes, but can you please do me another favor?"
Ruan Feiyan was overjoyed when he heard this title, "What help, you can talk about it." “
"Can you help me go to the Wenzheng Palace?"
Ruan Feiyan and Zixi glanced at each other, today is the wedding of Xiao Qiyu, the lord of the Northern Regions, and the Wenzheng Hall is the place where Xiao Qiyu invited his ministers tonight.
"What, you still have to go out of your way to congratulate your emperor?"
"I can't tell you two. “
"If you have to choose to disobey the monarch on this day, Xiao Qiyu may not be able to forgive you," Zixi, who had been silent for a long time, continued to interject: "I have also understood these days in the palace, Xiao Qiyu placed you in the secluded Daning Palace to let you recuperate, and secondly, to contain you. However, since Xiao Qiqi can send his most trusted attendant to take care of you, it can be seen that he still values you very much. “
"I know what you said," Mu Yanzhen smiled bitterly, and said, "But since I am a minister and a friend, I always have my own responsibilities, no matter what Your Majesty thinks, I must also do it." “
"This emperor of yours is not much good except for being good-looking, why are you so protective of him? You lost most of your life for him before, and you didn't see how good he was to you, but you also sent a rain pupil to watch you, I really don't know what you think. “
"Miss Ruan, it's just that she doesn't have a deep friendship with Your Majesty. “
"I don't want to have a deep friendship with this kind of fierce person," Ruan Feiyan leaned up and knocked Zixi's shoulder and persuaded: "Senior brother, I think you should help him, or he will crawl to the door by himself if he crawls like this, and when the time comes, you will have to clean up if he is caught." “
"But this is a matter in the palace of the Northern Regions, and we can't interfere. “
"Senior brother, senior brother!"
Zixi, who couldn't resist Ruan Feiyan's persuasion, had no choice but to respond: "Okay, okay, I'll send him there with my sword." “
"Thank you both, for your kindness, I will repay you in the future. “
"It's good that you take care of yourself like this, how can you repay any kindness?"
Seeing that Mu Yan really wanted to get up by himself, Zixi hurriedly helped him, this person couldn't use his waist after lying for so many days, and he only half-sat up because of Zixi. Zixi is a close person, and bends down to put on boots for this person. Mu Yan was really embarrassed, but when he wanted to bend down, he couldn't exert any strength, so he could only let Zixi dress himself in a robe.
"It's a little troublesome. “
"It's okay, I often take care of my injured brothers and sisters in this way, you don't have to feel embarrassed. Besides, we have been getting along for a while, and your temperament is gentle and pure and I am also very speculative, so you don't want to call me 'Shaoxia' in the future, I am just an ordinary disciple who knows some medical skills in the door, you can just call me Zixi." “
"Zixi ......" the young man smiled lightly, "My sister likes to call me Ah Zhen, if you don't dislike it, you can also call me like my sister." “
By the way, Ruan Feiyan suddenly thought that this person's sister is today's bride Mu Yanxue.
"I heard that your sister is still a female general with soldiers, has she ever been on the battlefield?"
"Well, Sister Xue has been galloping with Lord Taiwei since she was a child, and even men of the same year in the army can match her. “
"Really?" Ruan Feiyan showed a face full of admiration, "It would be nice if I could be like her, maybe then Master will also take him with him to find Lord Shizun." “
"If you don't want to stay, you can stay. “
"I'll go too, I haven't seen the emperor get married, I'm going too. “
There was no way to do this, so she had to agree to this person.
Hundreds of officials gathered under the Luhua stage in front of the Wenzheng Palace, Mu Yansheng was tied in the center, and a raging fire had been ignited in the big tripod in front of him. More than 1,000 years ago, Lin Heng, the lord of the Heavenly Blazing Kingdom, was buried in this ding.
"Your Majesty actually treated me with the courtesy of the lord of the country, and it was really painful for your subordinates. “
"He's just a faint king who caused the death of the country, and you're just a family master who caused the annihilation of the clan, so it's best to use this tripod to match you. “
Mu Yansheng finally had a trace of panic on his face, "Are you going to destroy Mu Yanmanmen?"
"Isn't that how the crime of treason is punished?"
"Heh," Mu Yansheng sneered: "Okay, even if I am the same as Lin Heng, but what are you? Zhao Shuheng sacrificed to Lin Heng and hundreds of thousands of people in Tianzhi, and only wanted a poor country to have peace and stability, but what was the result? Some poor countries were defeated even faster and more tragic than Tianchi. Xiao Qiyu, Your Majesty, Weichen only hopes that you will not become the next Zhao Shuheng. “
Xiao Qiyu straightened up in silence, he raised his hand, and only said, "Throw him down immediately." “
The ceremonial officer next to him persuaded: "Your Majesty, the time for divination has not yet arrived." “
"What the emperor said is the will of heaven! What are you two waiting for?"
was drunk like this, and the two ceremonial officials immediately obeyed the order and prayed.
Mu Yansheng was escorted to the front of the peak, and the layers of heat waves smoked him so much that he couldn't open his eyes. Becoming the king and defeating, he lost completely, Mu Yansheng only hated Mu Yande and Mu Yanlin's stupidity and ignorance. Thirteen years ago, the Northern Regions were in turmoil, Xiao Beihuang died, and the only prince of the lineage did not save his life, and after the death of Xiao Yilu and Xiao Qizhao, there were only two people left in the Xiao family. At the time of the change of royal power in this panic, only the Mu Yan family still had heavy troops, but unfortunately at that time, Mu Yande and Mu Yanlin were determined to help Xiao Qiyu ascend the throne, even if the power was monstrous later, they never moved the slightest arrogance.
No wonder he will lose, Mu Yansheng only sneered in his heart, can he do what Mu Yande and Mu Yanlin have not done? He has the blood of the Mu Yan family in his body, which determines that he cannot win against the Xiao family. Although he knew that Xiao Qiyu would never let go of himself and could not be ruthless to this king, Mu Yanxue was right, he was afraid of the eternal infamy of killing the monarch and rebelling, and he was even more afraid that the reputation of the Mu Yan family would be ruined in his own hands. That's why he gave Mu Yan snow flounder fruit, so he planned to put the children of Mu Yan's family and the Xiao family on the throne, in the final analysis, all because of his indecision.
"Second brother, third brother," Xiao Qiyu raised his wine and said to the night dome: "I swore that I would defend the Northern Regions for you, today is the first time I have fulfilled my promise, the Muyan family intended to put you in danger, and now my brother will avenge you, although your bones are incomplete, but you should be blind." “
Mu Yansheng didn't want to argue anymore, although he was not in the royal capital when the palace changed thirteen years ago, he understood that it was impossible to frame Xiao Yilu and Xiao Qizhao with Mu Yande's temperament. But now it doesn't matter, Mu Yansheng knelt in place, his face was calm, just waiting for the moment when the fire would come.
A glass of water and wine was sprinkled, and the silver qiwei standing around set Mu Yansheng up, and when they were about to throw people into the ding, they heard a shout from the audience: "Don't, stop first--"
Why is this voice so unfamiliar? Xiao Qiyu turned around, but what he saw made him angry, and under the towering revuvelle, there were two people walking with each other, and it was Zixi who spoke just now, and the faltering and weak person beside him was Mu Yanzhen.
Zixi still used internal strength to say for Mu Yanzhen: "Your Majesty the Northern Emperor, Ah Zhen has something to say, it is better for you to see him first before making a decision." “
How could Mu Yan really appear here!
As soon as Mu Yanzhen raised his head, even if it was far away, Mu Yanzhen could feel Xiao Qiyu's anger, he embarrassed the king in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and that person would definitely not be spared.
Mu Yan really felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Zixi, it seems that you are going to be affected by me." “
"It doesn't matter, your emperor of the Northern Regions still asks me, he won't do anything to me, I don't think, he can't do anything to you. “
Mu Yanzhen's body is weak now, and he can't even speak at this time, let alone the executioner on the high platform who wants to gather the dantian.
