66. 66 Li Yan
Among them, Sikong Jin still needs to find someone, and that is Sikong Lingfeng.
The Eighth Prince, Sikong Lingfeng, was in charge of guarding the palace, and there was also a cavalry battalion in his hand, although the number was not large, only two thousand, but the horses and equipment were well-equipped, and he could be a surprise soldier when necessary.
It's just that Sikong Lingfeng's attitude has always been very ambiguous, and Sikong Jin believes that it is impossible for him not to know about the movements of the second emperor brother. Even the last time they asked Su Rui to go to Chuxiu Palace, it may have been a trap, deliberately luring Su Rui to break the tryst between the second emperor brother and the queen, but Su Rui was lucky, and he handled it properly.
If there was a trap at that time, then Feng Ling'er ...... Sikong Jin let out a long sigh, just like Suri, maybe she also had her body involuntarily.
Since she is the wife of the Eighth Emperor Brother, she has no reason not to help her husband.
It's just doing this kind of harmful thing, but it's embarrassing for Ling'er. A pure woman like her is afraid that she will also be kept in the dark by the Eighth Emperor Brother.
Even though there was a small voice of criticism in his heart, Sikong Jin still ignored it, he would rather choose to believe that Ling'er was still the previous Ling'er, the Ling'er who would always be sealed in his heart.
Su Rui is safe now, but Ling'er is in the process, if the second emperor brother forces the palace, I am afraid that even if the eighth emperor brother who has the Xiao cavalry battalion in his hand to protect the safety of the palace is unwilling, he will be pushed to the forefront, and wherever he stands will play a pivotal role at that time.
If he chooses to help the second emperor brother, he is afraid that he and the fifth brother will have to deal with another layer of strength, and the odds of victory will be one less layer......
Sikong Jin's brows furrowed deeply, and he couldn't stretch for a long time. He knew that the top priority was to probe Sikong Lingfeng's tone first.
Playing small, among many brothers, the second emperor brother and the eighth emperor brother have always grown up together, and because they have always been arrogant, they don't usually have much contact with them.
But this time, Sikong Jin had to personally invite Sikong Lingfeng to come out.
He ordered Xiao Shunzi to go to Mingyue Tower to book a private room, and sent a post to the residence of the eighth prince in the palace.
This made Sikong Jin's heart slightly comforted, and he believed that the Eighth Emperor Brother would not fail to see the tension of the current situation, and at such a time, if he was willing to come as promised, it would prove that his side was loose.
After arranging all the qiē, Sikong Jinheyi lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a while, but remembered Su Rui.
When she was in the palace, she was always very aggrieved and curled up on a soft couch, pouting her mouth every time before going to bed as if she could hang an oil bottle, but she could fall asleep as quickly as possible.
She seems to be a person with few things on her mind, which is why she can sleep so peacefully.
It is said that only fools have foolish blessings, she looks simple and stupid, but she is really wise and stupid, she is just too lazy to think about it, too lazy to do it.
Unconsciously, the corners of Sikong Jin's lips curved slightly in a beautiful arc, I don't know what she is doing now? It's late at night, I'm afraid she'll be snoring loudly again.
I really wish I had the good fortune of her, and I could fall asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow, but unfortunately I wasn't her.
Sikong Jin sighed unconsciously, it seemed to be a good thing if she could talk to herself by her side now.
Because when talking to her, you don't need to use any scheming, you can say whatever you want, and you can be free and happy. Even arguing and bickering is no fun.
Seriously, Sikong Jin still enjoys the process of bullying Su Rui, watching her bright eyes become shining, you will feel that her whole person is full of vitality, and it is indeed quite enjoyable to see that she can't do anything with herself, and she can't kick it every time.
And also...... Sikong Jin shook his head and laughed for a while, feeling that he had really been alone for too long, and he would miss her graceful figure...... The gentleman doesn't look at it, but she is already his wife, and his wife shouldn't be considered a villain.
If I went to pick her up and suddenly left the wheelchair and stood in front of her, I wonder if she would be startled. Thinking of this, the smile in Sikong Jin's eyes was even stronger, and her expression must be very wonderful at that time.
It's just that these things can only be done when the dust settles in Beijing, the smile on the corner of Sikong Jin's lips slowly faded, and a little melancholy rose in his eyes, and tomorrow's appointment is also a key.
Su Rui had nothing to do all day in the Zhuangzi, and she was really bored, so she simply went to the medicine house to learn to distinguish herbs from the old lady.
Although the old lady doctor enjoyed the freedom of his old age here, he was lonely and alone. Now there is one more Suri, as a princess, she is very polite and very studious, so she is naturally happy and eager to teach what she has learned in her life.
Suri finally found something to do. I have also become a lot more comfortable, at least when I concentrate on studying, I don't think cranky.
The man who claimed to be Li Yan was still unconscious, and several times Su Rui looked at his quiet appearance, almost thinking that his sudden awakening was an illusion of his own.
Su Rui squatted from morning to night in the small building of the medicine house, and the days passed much faster.
Liuli was very happy to see Su Rui learning to identify herbs in the medicine house, and she was also much relieved.
In fact, Su Rui sometimes thinks of Sikong Jin, but Liuli is right. As long as there is no news, it is the best news, so to speak, as long as there is no news from the capital, he is still safe.
Two days passed like this, and on the evening of the third day, Liuli hurriedly found the medicine house and handed Su Rui a letter from the capital.
Su Rui thought it was Sikong Jin's letter, and she was startled at first, but seeing Liuli's expression as usual, she guessed that it shouldn't be a bad thing, she opened it and looked at it, and her brows furrowed tightly, "Feng Ling'er is coming?" ”
"Yes." Liuli nodded, "This is the prince's handwriting." I'm afraid that this letter has arrived. She's also not far from the lodge. "The letter did not come through a special channel through the Guò Dark Pavilion, but was delivered by the people of the palace on horseback. If, as the letter said, she set off immediately, as Su Rui had done last time when she came to the villa, she would have traveled day and night, and Feng Ling'er's carriage should have followed soon.
"It's not very big." Su Rui pondered for a moment, "It's better to arrange where she lives." ”
"It's still arranged in Lanxin Xiaozhu." Liuli said, "Although it is not as spacious as Madame's Nourishing Heart Residence, it is quiet and elegant, which is suitable for Mrs. Ling's temperament." ”
"That's right." Su Rui nodded, but he sighed in his heart, if he came here to avoid trouble, then Sikong Jin's arrangement for Feng Ling'er to come over should be the same as himself.
I'm afraid that the situation in the capital is very tense, and even the eighth princess has avoided it, how many royal daughters-in-law will this small villa have?
Su Rui knew the weight of Feng Ling'er in Sikong Jin's heart, that night he mistakenly kissed himself as Feng Ling'er, although she rarely mentioned it later, but it didn't mean that her heart didn't have a pimple, it was her first kiss, and she was lost as another woman in such a daze, and now this woman is also living in her villa as grandiosely, which makes her happy in her heart.
Although Su Rui was a little unhappy when she saw the letter, she has always been an open-minded person, and Sikong Jin naturally had his reasons for arranging Feng Ling'er, and there was no need to blame her too much.
After all, the situation in the capital is tense, and it is understandable that he wants to protect Feng Ling'er.
However, Liuli was afraid that Su Rui would be cranky, so she pulled Su Rui out of the medicine house and said in a low voice, "Niangniang doesn't have to be unhappy. This is a condition put forward by the Eighth Prince. If you want him to help, you have to ensure the safety of the Eighth Imperial Concubine first, so the prince sent the Eighth Imperial Concubine here. ”
"Oh." Su Rui nodded, then smiled at Liuli, "You don't have to worry about me. Make a good arrangement, and make her stay happy and comfortable is the most important thing. ”
"Yes." Seeing that Su Rui's mouth was hard, but her brows were stretched when she heard her words, Liuli secretly laughed, but she didn't break it, she answered and went down to prepare, and instructed her subordinates to call her Mrs. Ling'er if Feng Ling'er arrived.
Su Rui breathed a long sigh of relief, walked into the medicine house again, and saw that the old lady Hua had accidentally burned her hands by the medicine pot.
She was startled, and hurriedly walked over to find the ointment and put it on the old lady Hua, and said in her mouth, "How could the master be so careless?" ”
She insisted on worshipping Doctor Hua as her teacher, and Doctor Hua had been shirking, but she really liked this golden princess who didn't have a shelf at all, so in the end, Su Rui became her master, but the two agreed to only be commensurate with master and apprentice when no one was around. After all, Su Rui's identity is respectful, that is, the princess of Dajin and the princess of Hu Kingdom, and he is just a criminal minister who sees through the red dust.
"It's okay, it's okay." Doctor Hua said with a smile, he didn't expect that people would accept such a caring apprentice in their old age, and if his granddaughter didn't die, she would be so old as Su Rui. Invisibly, he also regarded Suri as his family.
"And said it was fine." Su Rui said distressedly, "The back of my hand is swollen so high." You hurry up and rest, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
"How can that be?" The old lady shook her head again and again, "Your status is noble, and I still do these rough jobs." ”
"One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, besides, the master has something, the disciple obeys it, and the apprentice helps the master do things naturally." Su Rui pushed the old lady to sit down to the side, "Master, just sit here and watch." I'll do the rest. After saying that, she also helped the old lady make a pot of flower tea.
Mrs. Hua's heart was warm, "In that case, it would be hypocritical for me to shirk it again." You can take off the medicine from the stove, strain it through a gauze screen, and then take it in and feed it to the man named Li Yan. ”
"Yes. Master. Su Rui said sweetly, and the old lady who said that the flower doctor really smiled like a flower.
Su Rui followed the instructions of the old lady Hua, and strained the hot medicinal juice twice with a fine gauze to filter out the residue in it, and then blew the small half bowl of medicinal juice into the inner room.
It was as quiet as ever, and the man was still lying still.
Suri pulled the bamboo stool and sat on the edge of his bed, scooping the liquid with a small spoon and bringing it to his lips.
Since he was still in a coma, he wouldn't speak by himself, so Su Rui had to carefully pry open his lips with a spoon and pour in a little bit of medicinal juice.
Although he was unconscious, he could still feed it a little bit, and Su Rui saw that the old lady Hua also fed him gruel and goat's milk in this way. He lived on these things for the past few days.
After Su Rui patiently fed the potion a little bit, he picked up the white cloth next to the pillow and wiped his lips for him.
Her white cloth had just touched the corner of his lips when he saw that the eyes of the person on the bed seemed to move again, and his eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Su Rui was afraid that because the sky was already dark, he couldn't see clearly, so he stopped his movements and asked softly, "You won't fool me again, will you?" ”
Last time, he woke up suddenly, and suddenly fainted, which made her happy in vain, but this time he was afraid that it was a false alarm again, so Su Rui didn't call the old lady Hua in the outer room to come in. Last time, he screamed and made him laugh at himself.
The pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be full of thousands of graces really opened slowly, and a pair of eyes that were still godless looked at Su Rui weakly.
Su Rui raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, "Are you really awake this time?" ”
"The girl is...... Where am I? Did the girl save me? The man opened his lips and asked slowly. Although his voice was weak, he said several words in one breath.
Girl? Su Rui was stunned, she looked down at herself, she was dressed very casually in the villa, just an ordinary light blue skirt, and her hair was also casually tied in a ponytail at the back of her head, no wonder he misunderstood.
But that's not the point,...... The point is that he finally really woke up.
Su Rui hurriedly stood up, "My name is Su Rui, you wait, I'll help you call the doctor." ”
"Su Rui......" The phoenix eyes flashed slightly, and then he muttered the name, and his eyes followed Su Rui's figure without looking away.
"Sir! Sir, come in and take a look, then Li Yan is awake! Suri turned her head and exclaimed excitedly, completely oblivious to the slightly surprised and inquiring gaze in the man's eyes on the bed.
When the old lady Hua dropped the teapot and ran in three steps and two steps, the man had already retracted his eyes and lowered his eyes slightly.
"That's right. Is your name Li Yan? Su Rui turned to look at the man and asked with a smile after seeing the old lady come in.
"Thank you, girl, for saving your life. Below is the surname Li Mingyan. The man said slowly.
"Don't say anything more. Let me see. The old lady grabbed the man's wrist, checked the pulse, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Young man, you are so lucky, such a serious internal injury can be relieved, it's not easy." ”
