Chapter 149: The Long Night Dawns
Luo Xizheng's face was pale, her brows were furrowed, and fine and dense sweat was constantly oozing from pain on her forehead, which was an unprecedented state of vulnerability, and it was also something she had never seen before.
Luo Xizheng, who closed her eyes tightly and was silent and silent, and Luo Xizheng, who was pale and was fighting against death alone, made her very overwhelmed.
"You'll definitely survive......" Luo Liyao put her hand on his face, quietly feeling his breathing so weak that it was almost gone, and whispered, "I'll wait for you." β
She gently reached out and wiped the tears on her cheeks, and then heard Yu'an's voice outside the palace gate: "Your Highness, the servant has prepared hot water, and Miss Bangyue has already sent a few sets of robesβyou better go and freshen up and change clothes first." β
"You just stay here and don't leave, wait for me to come back." Luo Liyao pulled the thin quilt under Luo Xizheng's wound, glanced at the hemostatic decoction placed aside, and instructed, "Remember to feed him this medicine while it is hot." β
Yu An smiled and agreed: "Your Highness, don't worry, the slave understands." β
After bathing in hot water, changing out of the robe that was soaked in blood and couldn't look at it at all, and then carefully combing up, Luo Liyao walked into Luo Xizheng's bedroom again.
Yu An was standing beside the bed, staring at Luo Xizheng's condition for a moment, hearing her deliberately lightened footsteps, and hurriedly looked back and saluted: "Your Highness." β
Luo Liyao nodded, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and suddenly felt a little worried: "I haven't woken up yet...... Didn't even react at all? β
"Your Highness." Yu'an was helpless, "It's only been half an hour......"
His Majesty's vitality was greatly damaged, even if he was temporarily out of danger, I am afraid it was not so fast - he did not think that Luo Xizheng could not survive this catastrophe, in his heart, he wholeheartedly believed that Luo Xizheng would definitely turn the danger into a disaster and be safe and sound.
"That's right." Luo Liyao was not entangled, and held Luo Xizheng's still cold palm again, "You go out first, and add a few more candles." β
This is the meaning of keeping watch all night, Yu'an hurriedly answered "yes", and lit some candles and lamps everywhere in the hall, before respectfully retreating, and by the way, dismissed the attendants outside the hall, leaving the space completely to the two.
The night was dark and silent, with the occasional slight sound of lights bursting.
In the brightly lit dormitory, there are plenty of shadows under the candlelight.
Luo Liyao sat next to Luo Xizheng's bed, held his hand, looked at his face, and took a handkerchief from time to time to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead.
The tears that had finally been stopped slipped from their eyes again, quietly dripping onto the sheets next to the bed, and gently hitting Luo Liyao or Luo Xizheng's arms.
It seems that there is always such a life-and-death moment when people can really see clearly
Only in one's own heart can one calmly accept the emotions that are constantly suppressed by oneself.
She finally struggled from escaping and wanted to face the future with him, but he ......
No, it won't.
This world is full of turmoil, and if Tianqi leaves him, he will no longer have the ability to compete with the other four countries.
And he still has his grand plans that have not been completed, and he has not yet been able to bring the world a prosperous world.
He's going to get better.
"Didn't you say I would never be able to escape?" Luo Liyao pinched his palm, stretched out her other hand to brush the messy hair on his cheeks, and said softly, "I'm not running away, I'm not running away again...... When you get better, you can do whatever you wantβ"
"It's my fault that I didn't believe in you in the first place. But you still want to hand over this throne to Chenshuo after you......"
"It doesn't matter who it is, really...... You're right, no one is born a royal family, as long as Tianqi can be politically calm and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, this emperor is anyone-"
"You can do it...... You can make Tianqi dominate, and you can make the world clear and prosperous - because you are the destiny of heaven. β
"When this is all over, let's find a place to live in seclusion, shall we?" Luo Liyao leaned over and gently buried her cheek in his palm, "In the past, I always felt that there was no man in this world who was worthy of me to have children, husbands and children for himβbut...... Now there are you. β
In the past, I heard Aunt Jinluan say that when my father did not go to Zhaoyang Palace, the queen mother often sat in the hall, and her eyes always looked at the direction of the palace door.
The time from dark to dawn does not seem to be very long, and after a deep sleep, it will pass.
But Luo Liyao stayed in front of Luo Xizheng's bed, and she only felt that the night was long, because Luo Xizheng had no signs of waking up from beginning to end, and he didn't even move a finger.
Luo Liyao, whose nerves had been highly tense for a day, finally reached the limit of her body, and she was half-asleep and half-awake under this long wait.
The hand holding Luo Xizheng was numb, and his whole body was a little stiff because he had leaned over for too long.
In between, Yu'an quietly came to see many times, and saw that Luo Liyao was silently guarding, and Luo Xizheng had not woken up, so he secretly wiped his tears and retreated outside the hall at any time.
Time never seemed so long.
It seems that after a long time, Yu'an really couldn't help it, and when he wanted to remind Luo Liyao to have some meals, Luo Liyao suddenly sat up straight.
Just now she clearly felt it - Luo Xizheng's palm, which was held by her, moved!
She instantly became energetic and pleasantly surprised: "
You're awake! β
Luo Xizheng slowly opened her eyes, but her pupils were dilated and unfocused, but her anxious and surprised appearance was reflected in her eyes, and she subconsciously called: "Yao'er...... Don't go. β
Luo Liyao was stunned, knowing that he had not fully recovered his senses, this was his subconscious reaction.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to subconsciously call her and tell her not to leave.
The tears on his cheeks that had been dry for a long time were wet with tears again, Luo Liyao grabbed his hand and immediately used some force, choking and saying constantly in his mouth: "If you don't go, I won't leave anyway-"
Luo Xizheng heard her response, but felt that he was still in a dream, until Luo Liyao approached him, and hot tears fell on his cheeks, that he gradually came back to his senses, and his eyes gradually regained some brightness.
She's crying.
Luo Xizheng tugged at the corners of his lips, wanting to reach out and touch her cheek and wipe away her tears: "Don't cry......"
When he opened his mouth, let alone Luo Liyao, even Yu'an, who was silently watching outside the hall, couldn't help but wipe his tears with the corner of his sleeve.
Luo Liyao looked at his weak smile, felt the movement of his hand, and hurriedly took the initiative to put his hand on his cheek, trying to hold back his choking: "Brother Zheng, you finally woke up." β
"Hmm......" Luo Xizheng's eyes were full of tenderness that could not be dissolved, which instantly filled Luo Liyao's heart and dispelled all her panic and anxiety, "Don't cry, I'm fine." β
Luo Liyao heard his sentence "It's okay", and the scene of his chest being pierced inevitably appeared in his mind, and he suddenly turned pale with fright, and subconsciously reached out to wrap his neck and buried his face between his neck.
She was angry and scared: "Fool! You obviously don't have to come here to stop you-"
Luo Xizheng felt the wetness that kept falling on his neck, and he was distressed, but he couldn't help laughing: "Good - at this time, you can hide behind me." β
"Fool!" Luo Liyao angrily scolded him again, "Do you know how scared I was last night?" If you have three long and two short, I, I ......"
Luo Xizheng smiled and took the words she had not finished intermittently because of choking: "If I have three long and two short, what should you do?" β
"You've got a smile on your face!" Luo Liyao suddenly raised her head to look at him, and saw that he had a satisfied smile on his face, and the corners of his lips were almost grinning, and he suddenly softened his heart a little, "Don't laugh!" Still laughing! What's so funny-"
Her eyes were red, constantly wiping her tears, and her somewhat pale pretty face showed a bit of an unnatural flush, and she stared at him with a pair of watery eyes wide.
It's just that the watery eyes are just like what she is now
People are generally gorgeous and tender, where can they reveal any fierce looks, and in Luo Xizheng's eyes, only cuteness remains.
The person in front of him is the person he loves the most.
Luo Xizheng smiled and said nothing, staring at her quietly, only thinking that it was worth it to make her show such a look and make her say such things, even if this knife directly took his life.
"Naturally, I laugh because I'm happy." Luo Xizheng moved the hand she was holding, and caressed her soft cheeks with affection, although there was weakness on his face, it was more of a gentle and narrow smile, "I'll be fine...... In the future, I will have children with you, and see you marry and raise children. β
Luo Liyao's body stiffened suddenly, and she blurted out in amazement: "You, can you really hear it?" β
Hearing her say this, Luo Xizheng was also stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "What? β
"No, nothing!" Luo Liyao reacted quickly, and hurriedly buried his already hot cheeks in his vigorous palms, with a very self-deceptive momentum, "You just thought I didn't ask anything just now!" β
Luo Xizheng blinked, and suddenly understood something.
"It seems that Yao'er and I really have a good heart...... "Little by little joy spread out from the bottom of my heart, it was not enough to fill my heart, it was almost overflowing, "But I can't wait long, why don't we wait - after I recover from my injury, we will start having children, okay?" β
can't pretend that nothing happened, and can't pretend not to hear, Luo Liyao simply played a scoundrel: "Dreaming!" You think beautifully! β
"Okay, there is your dream, it must be a sweet dream."
β...... You can be even more shameless! β
Yu An listened to the conversation between the two outside the hall, and retreated with a slight smile, ready to prepare some food for the two of them - as soon as he walked out of the temple door, he unconsciously raised his sleeves to block the rising sun.
At first glance, it looks very glaring, but it is very warm when it shines on the body.
Oh my god, it's finally lit up.
