Chapter 62: Heat Stroke
On the day of opening the altar to pray for rain, Rong Xi burned incense and bathed for a whole day, and when he woke up early in the morning, he got up again to bathe and dress according to the common etiquette.
After tossing for a long time, with a phoenix crown on his head, heavy, every step he took, Rong Xi was afraid that the phoenix crown would not be able to hold on and fall off.
When he arrived, Rong Xi was picked up by the phoenix, went out of the palace, and went to the altar.
When Rong Xi left the palace, he found that the people had gathered on both sides of the road, and when they saw her come out, they all knelt down and shouted loudly.
"Please, rain, we can't hold it anymore!"
More and more sounds made Rong Xi clench the bottle in his hand, and a willow leaf was inserted into the white porcelain bottle, filled with the bottle of water.
Glancing at the sky, the scorching sun was in the sky, and there was no sign of rain, and she couldn't wait for today.
Along the way, there were all the wails of the people, and many people fainted from heat stroke.
When she arrived near the altar, she got off the phoenix, held the bottle, dipped it in willow leaves, and sprinkled it on the side of the road.
As she moved, the voices on the side became louder.
On the altar, Rong Xi saw from a distance that the ministers and Mu Yan were already waiting, Mu Yan looked at her expressionlessly, still angry about what she had done.
Mu Guichen saw her on the altar and looked away.
The ritual of praying for rain began slowly, and Rong Xi insisted on standing for a day under the scorching sun, praying for rain to fall from heaven along with Master Heguang's rituals.
Gritting her teeth, Rong Xi persisted for three days, and in those three days, she took off a layer of skin from the sun, and when she went back, her body was red, and Lu Qi cried for a long time while rubbing medicine for her.
Rong Xi was so tired that he fell on the couch and fell asleep.
On the fourth day, Rong Xi was on the altar, looking at things were blurry, no one could stand for so many days in the scorching sun, and even wore thick clothes, which were airtight.
Rong Xi was secretly happy in his heart that it was fortunate that it was not Mu Yan begging for rain, if it was Mu Yan, she would have fainted on the second day, where could she have been for so long.
As his vision became more and more blurred, Rong Xi felt that his spirit was getting worse and worse, and he didn't dare to move, for fear of falling to the ground directly.
Under the altar, the ministers were in the shade, out of the sun.
Mu Guichen saw her body swaying slightly, but she insisted on holding on, and knew that she couldn't hold it anymore.
I have never begged for rain for so long, but I can't ask for it.
Rong Xi's credibility has also slowly decreased, and the people have waited for so many days, but they can't wait, and they will inevitably have more resentment in their hearts.
Mu Guichen wanted to come to power, but he couldn't hold back, if he went up now, he was afraid that he would cause displeasure among the people.
At this moment, there was a thunderous roar in the air.
The ministers and the people raised their heads, only to see that the clouds were thick, which was the prelude to the rain!
Rong Xi slowly raised her head, and the rain hit her face.
At that moment, Rong Xi knew that he had waited, and slowly stretched out his hand: "It's raining!" There's water! ”
She said weakly, the rain gradually became heavier, and the people took the basins to catch the water, all of which were festive sounds.
On the street, everyone was cheerful, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Qi looked at Rong Xi and couldn't help crying, Rong Xi finally didn't have to continue, these days, when she saw Rong Xi's skin, she was distressed.
Rong Xi smiled at Mu Guichen, and in the next second, his eyes were dark, and he fell down directly.
"!"
Lu Qi hurriedly rushed to the stage, but not as fast as another black shadow.
Mu Guichen rushed to the altar and picked up Rong Xi, he looked down for a long time, knowing that Rong Xi was going to be unable to hold on.
"Imperial Doctor, Hurry up and announce Imperial Doctor!"
Mu Yan rushed to Rong Xi in a hurry in this panic......
In the Jiaofang Palace, Rong Xi was lying quietly on the bed, Imperial Doctor Sun was taking the pulse and prescribing a prescription, Lu Qi brought the boiled anti-heatstroke medicine, and was about to help Rong Xi up, Mu Guichen stepped forward and took the heatstroke medicine in her hand.
"I'll do it."
Mu Guichen spoke up, and everyone naturally didn't dare to disobey.
Lu Qi hesitated to give him the anti-heat medicine, and helped Rong Xi to facilitate Mu Guichen to feed the medicine. Gently blowing the medicine, Mu Guichen gently put it into her mouth.
A bowl of anti-heat medicine entered, Mu Guichen put down the bowl, and Mu Yan ran over and held Rong Xi's hand tightly.
He had been angry with Rong Xi for several days and didn't speak.
Seeing this, Mu Guichen gently touched Mu Yan's cheek: "Don't worry, the imperial doctor has already said that there will be no big problem, it's just heat stroke." ”
After he finished speaking, Mu Yan nodded obediently, but Lu Qi cried and cried, looking at Rong Xi, full of distress.
Her young lady, when has she ever done such a bitter thing, this time, she has lost her skin.
Usually, she is the most afraid of the heat, so she always brings ice cubes.
"...... The ice cubes that the mother would shout when it was a little hotter are now peeling off from the sun. ”
After Lu Qi finished speaking, she looked at Mu Yan, Mu Yan's small mouth was tightly pursed together, staring at Rong Xi tightly.
"Let's go and prepare what the doctor said first, and when your mother wakes up, you can let her drink it."
Just drank the summer medicine, Mu Guichen was anxious to ask her for the next arrangement.
Lu Qi glanced at Rong Xi uneasily, and under Mu Guichen's orders, she had to go down to prepare.
The two of them were very stubborn and stayed by Rong Xi's side, waiting for Rong Xi to wake up.
When it was just dark, Rong Xi woke up slowly, she saw the pattern on the couch, she couldn't react a little, she was stunned, and quickly sat up.
Her one move made Mu Yan and Mu Guichen look at her nervously.
"You're awake."
Mu Guichen's voice fell, Lu Qi hurriedly arranged the medicine and food, and Mu Yan grabbed her hand nervously and didn't let go, as if she was gone.
Looking down at the hand that was being held, Rong Xi smiled lightly.
For so many days, he didn't want to pay attention to himself, but today, is he finally willing to pay attention to her?
Her head hurt, as if she had been knocked out, and she reached out to cover her head, her face pained.
Seeing this, Mu Guichen hurriedly asked Lu Qi to bring the medicine over, scooped a spoonful, and sent it to her.
"This is the medicine that the hospital gave you, drink it quickly, it won't hurt."
Smelling the strong smell of medicine, Rong Xi almost couldn't help but spit it out, held his breath, stepped back slightly, and took a look.
"Don't drink it."
She said in resistance, but saw Mu Yan staring at her all the time.
"If you drink it, you won't have a headache."
Mu Guichen patiently persuaded that there were really not many people who could be so patient.
