Chapter 15: The Wildfire Burns the Emperor's Heart
Hearing the sound, Shuo Nu raised her head, saw that it was Chu Xuan, and blurted out in surprise, "Why did you come back so late?" ”
Was she waiting for herself?
Chu Xuan covered her wound and was slightly moved, she could always easily provoke her emotions.
However, the excessive blood loss made his face pale, and he leaned against the door frame and beckoned, and whispered, "Come here......"
The girl put down the scroll in her hand and walked in front of him.
The lights were dim and he didn't notice it, and it was only then that Shuo Nu saw his injured arm, and the blood stains spread all the way to the outside.
There was a moment of surprise on her face, and then she regained her composure.
She hurriedly helped him to sit down, ran outside to tell Jade a few times, and walked in with a box.
Opening the box, there were all kinds of medicines in it, Shuo Nu took out scissors to cut his sleeves, poured out a bowl of wine and said to him, "You bear with it, it will hurt a lot!" ”
He nodded, and she poured the wine down the wound, back and forth until the blood around the wound washed away.
"Are you okay?" Looking at his even paler face, she couldn't help but ask.
"Go on!" He said.
He took out a medicine bottle, opened it and put it under his nose and sniffed it, then sprinkled the medicine inside on his wound, and took out gauze to wrap his wound. After everything was done, the sweat on her forehead slightly soaked her bangs.
Chu Xuan propped up her uninjured arm on the table, looked at her as she packed the medicine box and said, "You seem to be very skilled at bandaging wounds?" ”
Shuo Nu took a deep breath and said lightly, "My father is a hunter who makes a living from hunting, and he is often attacked by fierce beasts, and I have been used to treating his wounds since I was a child. ”
Suddenly hearing her talk about her family, Chu Xuan looked at her with great interest, "Then your father is very happy, with such a filial daughter as you!" ”
Silent.
She didn't answer his words.
Happiness? If it weren't for her, her daddy wouldn't have died.
Putting away the brief softness, she said, "It's late, I'm going to sleep!" ”
"Don't you wonder how I got hurt?" He asked softly after himself.
"I'm not curious, don't tell me!" After saying that, he walked out with the pill box.
Chu Xuan looked surprised, everyone has curiosity, why doesn't she have it?
However, she went out and never came back.
So she was really not interested.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly, she was really calm.
Or maybe she just didn't care about him......
He smiled.
Worry appeared between his eyebrows, and it seemed that the news of his injury would be known tomorrow.
The next day, before dawn, Gonggong Lin did not see the emperor in Qingyun Palace, and he was anxious like a headless fly, and sent palace people to various palaces to inquire.
Before he could reply, he saw Jade hurrying over.
"Grandpa Lin, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty," Jade ran all the way over, panting.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty? What are you going to say? Gonggong Lin asked with a jumping foot.
"Your Majesty is in Qiwu Palace!" Finally straightened out.
Gonggong Lin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, instructed the palace maid to take the court clothes, and the group went to Qiwu Palace.
In the morning, Shuo Nu checked his wound again, and there was no tendency to become inflamed, and it seemed that she had dealt with it in a timely manner last night.
"The wound is not bleeding anymore, nor is it inflamed, there should be no major problem, if Your Majesty is not at ease, you can find the imperial doctor to take a look again!" She crouched at his feet, helped him wrap the gauze, and lowered his sleeves.
He took her hand and held it in the palm of his hand, soft as boneless, and looked at her gently, "Thank you!" ”。
Shuo Nu lowered her eyes and reminded him faintly, "It's time to go to court!" ”
He hummed, but didn't act.
She sighed and said helplessly, "If it's inconvenient to find an imperial doctor, go to the palace to find a doctor to take a look, after all, I'm not a doctor!" ”
He was stunned for a moment, then took her hand and rubbed her softness in the palm of his hand.
It's not like she doesn't care at all......
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up!" Lin Gonggong's shrill voice sounded.
"Come in!" Only then did he let go of her hand.
Gonggong Lin walked in with two palace maids.
Dressed, tied hair, washed, and after everything was done, the harem maid and Gonggong Lin retreated again.
"Wait for the widow to come back!" He said softly.
She was slightly stunned, and he had already walked out of the bedroom.
Coming to the court, Chu Xuan sat on the dragon chair, with obvious cyan under his eyes.
Gonggong Lin's shrill voice echoed above the main hall, "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat!" ”
Du Qingshan sneered, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that you are not in good spirits, are you unwell?" ”
"Chu Guogong is really careful, the widow is in good health, but I forgot the time when I watched the concert last night, if you have nothing to do, you will retreat!" As he spoke, he snorted again.
"Your Majesty's good health is naturally my luck for Da Chu, but for the sake of Da Chu's century-old foundation, I should still establish a reserve earlier. I don't know what Your Majesty is thinking about the matter of establishing a prince? Du Qingshan looked at his somewhat pale face, a little disdainful, and said strongly.
"The Duke of Chu is wrong in what he said, Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, why do you need to establish a prince at this time?" Liu Shi, the Korean Gong, who has always been opposed to Chu Guogong, retorted.
"The prince has always been the foundation of the country, even His Majesty was made the crown prince at the age of seven, Han Gong, you don't know, right?" Du Chen said on the side.
Liu Shi snorted coldly, "How can this be compared?" When His Majesty was made the crown prince, the first emperor had already been in vain, and the first emperor had many heirs. Now that His Majesty has not yet been established, and there is no heir under his knees, it is really unheard of to establish the nephew of the side branch as the crown prince, and the minister has to wonder what the intention of the Duke of Chu is? ”
"It is precisely because His Majesty has been married for many years and has no heirs so far, so it is even more necessary to establish a reserve in advance to put an end to the future troubles of the unstable national roots!" Du Chen said.
"That's nonsense!"
"It's you who are stubborn!"
Chu Xuan frowned, the wound ached faintly, and he said a little impatiently, "Don't make any noise!" The widow is unwell today, let's talk about the matter of the reserve next time, retire from the dynasty! ”
Liu Shi glanced at Du Qingshan's father and son, snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves and left.
Du Qingshan's eyes were glowing with cold light, and he looked at the back of Han Gong leaving, and said, "The old puppet is stubborn and useless!" ”
"Yes, my son knows what to do!"
That night, something happened.
The mansion of the Korean Duke caught fire, and the flames were so thick that it burned the surrounding buildings and illuminated half of the capital.
Of the more than 100 members of the Korean family, none of them survived, and all of them were buried in the fire.
This incident shook the entire Great Chu.
The Duke of Korea is the pillar of the Great Chu, and he has been assisted by the emperor since the first time, and has an unshakable position in the Great Chu, and he is also the only old minister who can compete with the Duke of Chu.
Not long after this happened, Chu Xu was made the crown prince and moved into the East Palace.
Du Qingshan hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered, and said to his son on the side, "Chen'er, you did a good job this time!" ”
"It's my father who is strategizing!" He chimed in.
Looking at the embarrassed father and son, Qingchen angrily shook her fist at the air, forgiving her idiotic behavior, she was just too angry.
The scenes that could only be seen in the movie, she experienced it all over again, and those charred corpses now made her a little sick to her stomach, too cruel.
This is reality, and there is no such thing as a cruel reality......
The quaint sound of the piano was heard, and the scene had changed.
The pavilion of the water pavilion, the curtains are flying, and there is a person in a green shirt sitting alone on the piano.
He turned his back to Du Chen and played an ancient song that resonated with his heart.
"Everything was expected by Mr., and Mr. is really a man of God!" Du Chen praised excitedly.
The piano continued to sound, and his indifferent voice was mixed with the ancient song, which seemed strange, "Are you ready for what you have prepared?" ”
"This is natural!" A grim smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano broke, he took out a dagger with broken hair from the secret compartment of the guqin, the dagger was against his ring finger, the knife fell from his hand, and the severed finger rolled to the ground.
Du Chen looked at him in shock, "Sir, why are you doing this?" ”
Although he cut off his finger, he didn't show any pain, and only took out a silk handkerchief to wipe away the blood stains.
Throwing the blood-stained handkerchief on top of the severed finger, he said coldly, "Give this to her!" ”
"Sir, it's really ruthless!" Du Chen said admiringly.
"Go ahead!"
Du Chen left, he took out a book, the book was a little shabby, and it looked like it was some years old.
He turned the pages of the book, silently recited a few words of mantra, and suddenly a green light shone, covering his whole body.
The strange image lasted for half a minute, the light dissipated, and he raised his right hand, the wound already healed.
He laughed out loud, a little crazy.
Chu Xuan fell seriously ill after the public funeral in South Korea.
Qingyun Palace, the queen is on the side.
Everything that the emperor eats in his mouth must be tasted by someone first, and he can only give it to the emperor if he has nothing to do, even if it is medicine.
Su Qing sat on the edge of the bed with the medicine bowl, scooped a spoonful of medicine and carefully blew it cold before bringing it to his mouth.
Chu Xuan stretched out his hand to block it, shook his head and said, "The widow doesn't want to eat!" ”
Su Qing lowered his head and said lonely, "Your Majesty, are you worried that your concubine will be poisoned?" ”
His eyes were fixed on her, "Will you?" ”
Su Qing didn't say anything, just scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth and drank it.
He turned his face away, leaned on the soft pillow, and said lightly, "The queen is bothered!" ”
"Your Majesty......"
"The widow wants to rest, the queen, please go back!" He closed his eyes and said.
She sat on the edge of the bed, motionless, looking at his pale face, and said faintly for a long time, "How long will it take for Your Majesty to forgive your concubine?" ”
"Forgive ......," he chewed on the words, "will our children ever come back?" ”
She was in pain, tears sliding down, "Son, that's my child too, wouldn't I want him to live?" But what can I do? ”
"Don't say it anymore, the queen is tired!" He still didn't make waves.
A lot will indeed happen in five years, just like she has Chu Xuan's child, just like she fell in love with the man in front of her.
Yes, she fell in love with Chu Xuan. But she killed their child with her own hands, and when she was four months pregnant, she drank the abortion pill.
Once her child is born, will Du Chen let him go?
No, he'll just kill him right away.
She had no choice.
She wanted him more than a child......
