Hurried over, Xia Chuqi hurriedly stepped into Zhao Ziyue's inner room.

There was still a faint incense inside, but it couldn't suppress the strong smell of blood.

"The ...... of the Horse"

The girls standing in the inner room, when they saw her, they all knelt down with red eyes.

Xia Chuqi didn't have time to talk to them, so he strode over and reached out to take out the pillow that Zhao Ziyue was holding under her neck, directly flattened her body, and put the pillow on her lower limbs, putting it in a position with her head down and feet high, to ensure the blood supply to her brain and important organs in her body.

After doing all this first, she began to deal with the injury on Zhao Ziyue's wrist under the puzzled eyes of the girls. She committed suicide by cutting the artery in her wrist with scissors, and it can be seen that she is bent on death, and the knife cut deeply. Although the waiting girl had already bandaged her when she was carried out of the clean room, the blood was still gushing out, seeping and staining the bed beneath her, and there was no sign of stopping, which was very frightening.

"Woo...... The princess ...... "There's a little girl sobbing."

Xia Chuqi pinched her Zhongchong acupoint, and also shouted to cheer her up.

"Ziyue, you must hold on."

Of course, Zhao Ziyue would not answer her.

She had lost too much blood, her body was wet and cold, her little face was as pale as a piece of paper, her lips and nails had formed cyanosis, her pulse was very weak, and she had fallen into a state of shock.

If in the afterlife, she should be given a blood transfusion at this time to replenish plasma.

But this time, there is no such condition at all.

Xia Chuqi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "Gauze! ”

She shouted in a calm voice, and Li Miao, who was standing on the side, handed it to her cooperatively.

She nervously stopped the bleeding for Zhao Ziyue, and used the sterilized gauze she had prepared in advance to wrap it around her wound layer by layer to compress and stop the bleeding.

For a while, the whole room was silent.

The girls didn't dare to come out, but she was so engrossed in first aid that she couldn't hear the sounds around her at all. I don't know how long it took, the bleeding stopped, but Zhao Ziyue still showed no signs of soberness.

Without waiting for Xia Chuqi to speak, Qingteng asked with tears in his eyes.

"Princess, princess...... Will it be okay? ”

Xia Chuqi didn't look at her, nor did he answer her, and called Li Miao again.

"Silver Needle!"

Li Miao cooperatively handed over the silver needle, Xia Chuqi took it, took off Zhao Ziyue's clothes, twisted the needle in her lower abdomen, took Guan Yuan's acupoint, and stabbed it straight into an inch. This is the best acupuncture treatment for a drop in blood pressure caused by excessive bleeding from trauma, which can lead to shock.

But......

Several first aid cycles down.

She gave injections and medicine, and Zhao Ziyue's complexion softened a lot, no longer as cold and cold as a dead man just now, but there was still no sign of waking up.

Xia Chuqi pursed his lips tightly, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and did not say a word. She knew that in this era, even if the medical conditions were so good in later generations, like this situation, some people would die of shock and could not be saved.

Her solemn expression infected the girls in the room.

Soon, the originally suppressed cries became more and more numerous.

"Princess, princess...... Woohoo......"

There are some girls crying, maybe they don't really feel sorry for Zhao Ziyue, but they are afraid that if she really dies like this, the old emperor will ask them to be blamed together. However, her intimate girl Qingteng is indeed sad, and the whole person cried softly in front of the couch, crying silently.

"Master Pony, you have to think of a way, you must save the princess......"

Xia Chuqi sighed, so tired that his voice was hoarse.

"I'll wake up."

The tearful eyes lit up again, and Qingteng asked anxiously, "When will you wake up?" ”

Her question is really difficult to answer on the seventh day of the summer month.

The girls found out too late, Zhao Ziyue lost too much blood, and there was no blood transfusion yet. Although a series of first aid measures were taken, her vital signs were too weak, and her will to survive was not strong. When she will wake up from this coma, she really can't say.

"Don't be sad, look at her creation."

Look at creation? Qing Teng was stunned, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Master Pony, please, think of a way again, think of a way again......"

Is there a way she wouldn't want to? Xia Chuqi suppressed the pathos in his heart and glanced at her lightly, "When it's okay, talk to her more and encourage her more." Now I'm going to make a recipe first, and I'll find a way to give her medicine later. ”

As soon as she got out of the inner room, she saw the two ghosts standing there.

"Princess, how is she?" His eyes were red, his cheeks were red and swollen, and his tone was full of eagerness, pain, and remorse. More, there's a bitterness of powerlessness.

But this is another difficult question to answer.

Probably told him about Zhao Ziyue's situation, the two ghosts' already ugly complexion became a little darker, and a slap slapped his already high and swollen face.

"It's all my fault! It's all my ......."

Xia Chuqi glanced at him and couldn't help but sigh - this matter is indeed an old sin.

"Brother ghost, don't worry too much. Every man has his own life, and you are not to blame for this. ”

As she spoke, she lifted her sleeves, sat down in her chair, and spread out the memo paper.

Now she no longer needs Li Miao to prepare prescriptions for her, although the calligraphy is a little ugly, but after these days of study, she can already skillfully use traditional Chinese characters to write prescriptions.

The thick ink fell on the medicine paper, and he smiled again and again.

But in her eyes, she always saw that pool of blood.

Bright red blood stained Zhao Ziyue's bed.

It is really not easy for a woman in a feudal society. How much courage does a princess who has been loved all her life, a fourteen-year-old girl, dare to cut her wrist?

……

……

An hour later, Xia Chuqi applied a second medicine to Zhao Ziyue's wound, and asked the girl to help raise her head, pry open her mouth, forcibly pour the medicine with a spoon, and prick a needle again, before placing her on the bed and withdrawing.

She did not leave Qingtang Courtyard.

But it didn't show too much pain either.

From beginning to end, she has been very calm, doing what she has to do, not at all like those girls, one by one with a bitter face, as if the sky has fallen.

But good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The matter of "princess suicide" is too big, and in the Jin Palace, it can be said that it can't be pressed even if you want to. Xia Chuqi didn't dare to be the master casually, in addition to blocking the news in the mansion first, he had already asked the two ghosts to send someone to find Zhao Zhu back.

Of course, on the old emperor's side, she has not sent anyone to inform her for the time being.

This matter can be big or small, she thinks that it is best to deal with it when Zhao Zhu comes back.

Otherwise, the old emperor would be angry, and before she could understand, she would be taken off her head, and she wouldn't be able to draw it.

After a tired afternoon, she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and she finally sat down to have a serious dinner, but the people from the other courtyards of the house came to visit the princess. Especially that Dongfang Wanyi is the best at pulling hatred, and before she entered the house, the cry came in.

"Princess Wow ......"

As soon as she got to the bed, she fell to her knees with a thud.

"Princess, your life is so miserable. When you wake up, you must let the person who hurt you die a good death. Let her be cut by a thousand knives, split the corpses of five horses, fry the car, and then go to eighteen layers of hell, and suffer from the eternal life that cannot be transcended......"

Being so blood-drenched by her, imagining those not very beautiful pictures, Xia Chuqi chewed and chewed, and suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was not very delicious.

After a sip, she sank her face and slashed at Dongfang Wanyi.

"I said the princess is not dead, what are you howling? Howl back to your house! ”

After the noon incident, Dongfang Wanyi was a little more afraid of her. Wen Yan shrunk the hand that had already bandaged the wound, she took out a towel and wiped her tears with a pinched tone.

"Yes, Master Pony. The concubine knew that she was wrong. Whining...... But the princess is really pitiful. ”

"Uh......h Princess......"

As soon as she cried, the other girls cried too.

How can a few women eat well when they are sobbing in the house?

Xia Chuqi squinted slightly, looked around for a week, and suddenly felt that these women were really in pain. Obviously, they didn't have that kind of compassion in their hearts, but they wanted to show a bodhisattva's heart, as if others didn't know how worried they were about the princess's body.

Unable to bear it, she quickly put down her chopsticks with a "snap" and frowned.

"Go down and rest, all of you! What does it look like to cry and cry? ”

Dongfang Wanyi had a bitter face, "Master Ma is so hard, why are we embarrassed to leave?" Woo, let's guard the princess here, it's good to wait for the potion. ”

Hearing her say this, the Wei family hung his head and echoed in a low voice, "Sister Dongfang said it very well. Master Horse, let's stay, in case the master comes back and sees that I can't wait, I will definitely blame him. ”

Not to mention that master, Xia Chuqi hasn't reacted yet.

As soon as she heard Wei's words, she understood.

I can't tell you what it tastes like, it's so angry and funny.

Is it fake that they dare to come to visit the princess, and it is true to wait for Zhao Zhu to come back?

It can be expected that once Zhao Zhu returns home, he will definitely come to this house as soon as possible. It is not easy for these two ladies to look forward to seeing him like that. Now that she has driven people away, it seems that she is a little unkind?

It's a pity that she is not a good person, and she is even more comfortable doing unkind things.

Teasing her eyes and frowning, she sighed helplessly.

"Hey! You're all here, and the pony won't be able to eat. So what should I do? Is it possible to let this horse make room for you? ”

Dongfang Wanyi and Wei Shi were both stunned, their faces were embarrassed, but they hesitated and didn't know what to do. Seeing this, Yue Yu coughed lightly at the right time, and stepped forward softly to prepare to relieve the siege.

"If the two of you are Mrs. Ru's wishes, I will convey them to the master. Now that the princess has not recovered from her serious illness, all of us are waiting here, and it is easy to worry about the princess's rest...... It's better for the two of you to go back first, and I will stay here with the concubine......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Xia Chuqi turned over coldly, not giving her face at all.

"Sister Yue, you can go back too. I'm so afraid you're here, and the princess won't wake up. ”

Her words are too prickly!

Yueyu's beautiful hibiscus face changed, and then her eyes turned red, and she bowed down.

"Yes, I'll leave now."

Her tearful eyes but obedient and resigned to her fate made people feel more and more that she was kind-hearted, generous, dignified, and selfless. But the more she behaved like this, the more Xia Chuqi couldn't treat her as a good person.

Human nature is selfish, she never believes that there are really people in the world who don't plan for themselves.

……

……

The night slowly began.

There was a lamp in the Qingtang courtyard, but it was a little silent.

Zhao Ziyue, who had been lying on the bed, was pale and breathing weakly, but she still hadn't woken up.

From time to time, I went over to check her pulse, and occasionally opened the window to look at the sky outside, and Xia Chuqi was also a little apprehensive. Sitting on the kang table not far from the bed, she wrote and painted, scribbled and changed, pondering new methods, and after a long time, she heard Meizi rushing in from outside.

"Chu Qi, the master is back."

With a "pop" in his heart, Xia Chuqi's emotions suddenly swelled.

I can't say why, it seems that all the uneasiness fell back to reality at that moment.

Zhao Shijiu is indeed a man who is easy to make people feel at ease.

Putting down the brush in her hand, she rushed to the door with unprecedented eagerness. I didn't think about what kind of mood it was, I thought it was for Ziyue, but I didn't know how much of that footsteps contained my own thirst.

As soon as she ran out, she crashed into an embrace.

The man's black brocade cloak, with the edge and heroism that belonged to the barracks, and the cold and lonely atmosphere of the night, fell into her nose lightly, and then spread to her heart.

"You're finally back, Ziyue...... Something happened! ”

"I know everything." Zhao Zhu grabbed her with one hand and patted her back, but his eyes looked at Zhao Ziyue, who was lying quietly but silently in the cascading veil not far away, and his voice sank.

"How's Azusa doing?"

After snorting, Xia Chuqi's heart was beating a few times, and he calmed down again. calmly and professionally, he explained the problem of shock complications to Zhao Zhu, but did not tell him whether he would wake up or when he would wake up. For what she can't promise, she never gives people hope first, and then disappoints people.

Zhao was silent.

Quietly, he hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and asked her.

"Have you eaten it?"

I didn't expect him to care about her eating and drinking at this time, Xia Chuqi was stunned for a moment, raised his head, looked at his cold face and uncertain face, and said "um" lightly.

"That'll be fine."

Zhao Jun let go of her and stood at the door for a while, and then slowly walked towards Zhao Ziyue. Xia Chuqi couldn't see any expression on him, but even if he just looked at his straight back, he could strongly feel the regret and hatred in his eyes, as well as that unique coldness and solemnity.

He knew all about Ziyue.

Then he must want to kill that person more than she wants to kill now.

Can...... Would he suspect that she Chu Qi did it?

Swallowed her saliva, to be honest, she hates misunderstandings, and she hates that there is something between two people that is not explained, and she hides it in her heart and guesses. Therefore, seeing him standing in front of Ziyue's bed, she didn't take the initiative to mention it, and she didn't come to ask her, she involuntarily moved over, stood behind him for a moment, and suddenly stretched out her hand and hugged his waist from behind.

"Will you, like them, suspect that I did it?"

Zhao Jun didn't look back, and the dry and warm palm was covered on the back of her hand.

"No, it won't."

You don't need too many words, just two words are enough.

Nothing is more important than the trust that comes from him. Xia Chuqi was so moved that she sniffed, and her two arms were like iron pincers, and they were clamped around his waist, tight and tight, so tight that the girls standing on the side didn't dare to raise their heads again, so tight that she felt hypocritical, so she shouted in a low voice.

"Master, I'm also responsible, I didn't take good care of her......"

Zhao Zhu didn't know what to think, so he just patted her hand, and his voice was hoarse and low.

"Go, let someone prepare something to eat for you, and bring it here."

Turns out he hasn't eaten yet? I must have gotten the news and hurried back. But he definitely didn't expect it to be the result he is now, right? Suddenly, Xia Chuqi was a little sorry for not being able to revive Zhao Ziyue.

"I will definitely cure her, don't worry, she will definitely wake up."

Zhao Jun untied her hand and turned her head, the corners of her lips raised as if they were nothing.

"Well, Ye has always believed in you. Go, I'm hungry. ”

From this point of view, she is the same kind of person as Zhao Zhu. No matter what happens, no matter how difficult the situation in front of you is, you have to fill your stomach first. As for the rest, it is not something that can be solved by starvation.

Soon, Shi Taixiang, the chef of the palace, personally led a few people to bring Zhao Zhu's dinner. Entering the Qingtang Courtyard, everyone walks carefully, and they dare not come out, even if no one says anything, but they all know that something really happened in the house this time, and they are afraid that they will touch the master's mold and cause a disaster.

The two of them sat opposite each other on the kang table.

Just by the window not far from Zhao Ziyue, no one spoke.

Xia Chuqi had eaten before, so he sat there and waited for him to eat, serving soup and vegetables for him, just like an ordinary wife, who picked up her husband after a long absence, without pretending to be in the hands of others, showing unprecedented gentleness, that virtuous energy, looking at the girls in the room, they were all surprised, but no one dared to say anything.

Quiet......

Or is it quiet......

There was only the occasional tap of a spoon......

In this silence, after a while, Zheng Erbao bowed and walked over.

"Master, Yueyu knelt outside and said she wanted to see you."

Zhao Zhu's face did not change, and he only said lightly, "Let her kneel first." ”

"Yes, sir."

Raising his eyes to look at him, Zheng Erbao lowered his head and retreated.

This dinner, Zhao Zun ate extraordinarily long, and it was also extraordinarily noble and elegant. From beginning to end, he didn't say a word, which made the atmosphere in the room freeze for a while. Xia Chuqi glanced at him from time to time, and had been guessing his thoughts, and also guessing what the moon Yu was kneeling outside had in mind, but she didn't ask anything.

It was already past the hour when Zhao Zhu finished dinner.

After the house was cleaned up, he asked Zheng Erbao to summon Yueyu into the house.

At the same time, he also sent all the people in the house to the outer room.

Yue Yu walked in slowly, her posture was elegant and beautiful, and she was still dressed dignified and neat when she saw her before, and she straightened her clothes before kneeling down and kowtowing to Zhao Zhu.

"Master, the slave is guilty."

As soon as he heard her words, Xia Chuqi's heart hung up.

Oh, is it possible that this month's eldest sister, is she going to turn herself in? But is there such a thing as "confession and leniency" here in Zhao Bottle? No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a master who will easily spare people, right?

Zhao Yu didn't look at Yueyu, only took the towel handed over by the girl and wiped his hands, and said lightly, "What are you guilty of?" ”

Raising her head, Yueyu knelt extremely upright as if she was in the yamen.

"Something happened to Princess Ziyue before, and the slave maid was too anxious to take into account that much, so the maids and daughters in the mansion came over and chewed some tongues, which had a great impact on the princess's reputation. Later, the slave and maid did not take good care of her, which made the princess ...... The princess had the opportunity to commit suicide by slitting her wrists...... The slave and maid have the trust of the master, and the crime is unforgivable, so please punish the master heavily. ”

Xia Chuqi looked at the Qingwan woman kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.

Is she avoiding the important and light?

didn't wait to ask for sin, first came to ask for sin, and it was really a powerful master.

Curled the corners of her lips, she really wanted to go over and say a few words to her, but now that Zhao Zun is here, this Yueyu is a girl who has been serving him since she was a child, and she doesn't know the depth of the relationship between their master and servant, so she can't open her mouth at this time, she just needs to sit and watch the play with cold eyes. As for who plays well and who doesn't play well, it doesn't matter much about her.

"Yueyu."

Zhao Zhu's tone was calm, and there was no change in his cold face.

"Are you such a rash person?"

In a word, he went straight to the point, Yueyu's body trembled, and she bit her lip.

"Grandpa......"

Zhao Zhu glanced at her lightly and accentuated his tone.

"Let's be honest."

"Slave maid, slave maid knew about that incident at the time, she was really too worried, her brain was stupid, and she didn't take into account so many ......" Yueyu's eyes filled with tears, looking at Zhao Zhu Yonghua's unequaled but calm face like an ice cube, and then looked sideways, looked at Xia Chuqi, who seemed to be smiling, and then lowered her eyes again, "Except for this, the slave has nothing to explain." ”

If you don't go to the Yellow River, you won't die?

Xia Chuqi looked at her silently, feeling that she was not such a stupid person.

According to her personality, how could she not take into account Zhao Zhu's temper and character? Is he such a foolish man? If she Yueyu was really such an overwhelmed person, how could Zhao Zun let her control the affairs of the backyard of the Jin Palace's mansion for so many years?

"Qingteng!"

With Zhao Zhu's cold low voice, the little girl from Qingteng came in from outside.

"Show her the incense that was replaced in the house after your master's accident."
