Chapter 48: Bleak Moonlight (2)
Wei Zhongchen carried the medicine box on his back, followed behind the little chamberlain and hurried towards the Xuanyuan Palace, and as soon as he arrived outside the hall, he was stared at by Xiao Yu, dragged to Ruyu's side, and asked him to start the consultation.
He carefully touched the pulse, opened Ruyu's eyes again, and then knelt down and replied to Xiao Yu: "Your Highness, this girl's wound is so large that she bleeds a lot, but the wound is not deep. ”
"So?" Xiao Yu first heard that the little palace maid said that Ruyu had died, and then saw that her face was covered with blood, and thought that she was extremely injured, but at this time, listening to Wei Zhongchen, it was not too seriously injured. He quietly stepped back, turned his head and explained to Guo Housheng beside him: "Let people go with Doctor Wei to get medicine, Ruyu will also send someone back to the East Palace to rest, and in the next few days, another palace maid will be selected to serve the princess, so that Ruyu can recuperate from her injuries." ”
"Yes." Guo Housheng replied as respectfully as ever, and he couldn't hear whether there were any waves in it.
After Xiao Yu finished explaining, he and the palace guards went to the Imperial Garden to check the assassin's whereabouts. Xiao Yuli smiled coldly, but he didn't hold Ruyu and ask carefully.
"Your Highness......" Ruyu suddenly turned over, grabbed the corner of Xiao Yu's robe, and looked at Xiao Yu with endless sorrow in her beautiful eyes. She seemed to have a lot of words to tell Xiao Yu, but she looked at Xiao Yuli and the others next to her and swallowed them back unwillingly.
"Take care of your injuries first." Xiao Yu was held by her, unable to move for fear of hurting her, so she had to speak to appease. Ruyu saw that he didn't want to listen to his words, and he didn't know if he should still say it, so he hesitated in his heart.
"Miss Ruyu." Xiao Yuli interjected at the right time, and the dark smile on the corner of his mouth never dissipated. Like a wolf waiting for the entrance of his prey in the night, he stared at Ruyu with fierce eyes: "The girl has any grievances to complain to this king, this king has just been instructed by his father to thoroughly investigate the assassin's entry into the palace and the girl's injury." ”
"This ......" Ruyu heard him say this, and looked at Xiao Yu, who was still expressionless, and the hesitation on her face was even worse.
"The girl might as well speak up." Xiao Yuli stood between her and Xiao Yu, with a demagogic smile on her face. He has been trained by Concubine Qing since he was a child, and he knows how to make himself more attractive, especially to attract the favor of young girls, so he looks at Ruyu with such a seductive expression at the moment. "If the girl has any grievances, this king can make decisions for the girl."
Ruyu looked over his shoulder at Xiao Yu, and then murmured, "It wasn't the assassin who injured me......"
"What do you say? It wasn't the assassin who hurt you, who was that! Who has the audacity to hurt people in the palace? Although Ruyu's voice was deliberately lowered, Xiao Yuli, who listened carefully, still heard it clearly, and he immediately raised his voice and asked: "Girl, don't be afraid, explain this matter carefully." No matter what position that person is, this king will help the girl get justice! This king can't ask for it, and his father will help you ask for it! ”
His voice was loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear clearly. I didn't expect Ruyu's injury to be caused by an assassin, who had such courage! Everyone in the hall whispered to each other.
"Nope. No. Ruyu heard the noise in the hall, knelt in front of Xiao Yuli with her weak body, and kept kowtowing: "Lord Qing, no one has hurt the slave maid, is it...... It was the slave who accidentally fell on it. ”
She kept kowtowing and begging Xiao Yuli so much, just because she didn't want Xiao Yuli to investigate. But Xiao Yuli's personality has always been perverse, and the more he doesn't let him check it, the more he wants to check it. He slowly helped Ruyu up, and said loudly: "Girl, can you break your forehead just by falling?" This king looks at it like this, but it seems that he was smashed by someone? ”
"No......" After hearing him say that he was smashed, Ruyu's face turned pale in an instant, and he hurriedly explained: "It wasn't smashed, it was the slave who fell it herself." ”
"Guo Ruyu!" Xiao Yuli, who was still gentle a moment ago, suddenly changed his face, and shouted: "If you don't say it, this king can be tortured until you say it." ”
"King Qing spares his life!" Ruyu knelt in front of Xiao Yuli with a "poof" again, biting her lip with miserable eyes, as if she was very scared but couldn't say the person's name.
Just based on her actions, Xiao Yuli also knew it in his heart, or should he say that he had already counted it in his heart before Ruyu woke up. What he has to do is to follow the development of things and then pick it out in front of everyone.
"Eldest brother, this is your person, what do you think?" Xiao Yuli seems to respect Xiao Yu on the surface, but in fact, he puts all the responsibility on Xiao Yu. If you do it, it is naturally the best, and if you don't do it, you will cover up your own people, and dig deeper to dig some big conspiracy. Xiao Feng has been sick in bed for a long time, but what he is most afraid of is that someone is doing some conspiracy behind his back at this time.
Xiao Yu also understood this truth, so he glanced at Ruyu, turned around and whispered: "Father and Emperor handed over this matter to the seventh brother to deal with, then everything will be handled by the seventh brother." He thought about it for a while, and added: "Ruyu, if you really have any grievances, you might as well sue the seventh brother." ”
"Your Highness." Ruyu looked at Xiao Yu's back with tears in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind to turn to Xiao Yuli's body. "Lord Qing, the slave's forehead was beaten. That man...... That person, when beating the slave and maid, the slave and the maid didn't see it too clearly, and it seemed to be the crown princess in the haze. ”
She deliberately added the word hazy, but Xiao Yuli automatically avoided those two words and asked loudly, "Is it the crown princess?" What did the crown princess do you hit for no reason? ”
"This ......" Ruyu's face hesitated again, and Xiao Yuli's eyes became even colder when she looked at her.
"Miss Ruyu, this king advises you to be honest and clear, otherwise not only will you not be able to save your life, but it will also affect your Royal Highness the Prince."
When Ruyu heard him say this, she looked up at Xiao Yuli in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave seems to have seen Prince Yu, he left with the crown princess." ”
"In what direction?" Finally let her say this, Xiao Yuli was in a good mood, and even her face became much more pleasant.
"It seems to be over there." Ruyu raised her hand and pointed in one direction, Xiao Yuli knew that it was Xiao Shaokang's residence before leaving the palace.
"Wei Yizheng!" Xiao Yuli turned his head and called, and Wei Zhongchen, who quietly retreated to the side, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stood under the light again. "Heal the jade girl well."
"Yes." Wei Zhongchen answered, and asked the little chamberlain to turn around and leave in a hurry with Ruyu. What they had just heard was a royal secret, which he had been in the palace for many years and knew that it was impossible to mess with. That's why he hid himself in the shadows, trying to make himself disappear in front of Xiao Yuli and Xiao Yu.
