Chapter 148: Life hangs by a thread
Luo Xizheng struggled to maintain the smile on his face, but his eyes that had begun to fade were staring at her for a momentβhe should be about to lose sight of her, so he was attached to her, and he did not miss any opportunity, and wanted to impress her deeply in every part of his soul.
But he seems to be reaching his limits.
Luo Xizheng's body suddenly trembled violently, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Obviously, the blood that was about to follow Luo Xizheng to lose its temperature fell on Luo Liyao's chin, neck, and robe, but it made her feel scorching, burning her heart, and burning her inside and out.
Luo Liyao wiped a handful of tears almost frantically, but just happened to see him slowly close the eyes that looked at her with affection.
"Luo Xizheng! Luo Xizheng!! Brother Zheng! Politics - the more real, the more real, hurry up and get the medicine! β
This is probably the most gaffe, the most frightened, and the most hideous in Luo Liyao's life, her body and hands are stained with Luo Xizheng's blood, chanting his name.
Shi Yuezhen hurriedly opened the jade bottle, poured the ointment on his hand, rushed forward to uncover the medicinal cloth that had been soaked with blood, and quickly applied medicine to Luo Xizheng.
Similar to the previous situation when Luo Liyao tried the medicine herself, the moment the ointment touched the wound, the blood immediately coagulated, and a thin layer of blood scabs quickly formed on the wound of the wound.
But in the end, it was too late to take the medicine, Luo Xizheng had already lost too much blood, and his face was still pale and bloodless.
Shi Yue really didn't dare to slack off, and his solemn expression did not ease at all.
Luo Liyao tightly held Luo Xizheng's hand, which was already so cold that there was almost no trace of warmth, and called his name frantically - no longer "Luo Xizheng", no longer "Brother Zheng", but "Zheng" like a lover.
Shi Yue really couldn't see her dejected look, but he still said: "Talk to him more, maybe he can still hear it...... Then it's up to him to get through it. β
The panic on Luo Liyao's face deepened, and she asked eagerly, "What do you mean?" β
"The bleeding has stopped, but there is too much blood loss β that's all we can do." Shi Yuezhen seriously probed Luo Xizheng's pulse, frowned, and said, "The pulse is very weak...... But if he can survive tonight, it's fine. β
Luo Liyao took a deep breath and shook the hand holding him.
Ye Luoqing shook his head again and again, and stepped forward to persuade a few words, but Luo Liyao was very stubborn and refused to leave Luo Xizheng for half a step.
At the same time, Su Luoran and Tianji also rushed to the Yiyuan Hall in time, followed by Meng Yan and Qi Guanxiu.
Ning Zhong immediately stopped Shi Yuezhen's words, and was stunned for a long time before he said to Luo Liyao in a low voice: "He is like this for youβif something happens to him, I will fight for this life to get rid of you."
, except for the entire Tianqi Imperial Family! β
Ning Zhong is Luo Xizheng's biological father after all, although Luo Liyao is eager to kill him immediately, but if he doesn't take care of Luo Xizheng, it is definitely impossible.
So she didn't bother to deal with him at this time, she only glanced at him, didn't bother to talk to him more, and only said: "The prime minister is gone, let's go back to the house quickly." β
And when she caught a glimpse of Mu Zhou, who was flustered, her words became more cold: "As the commander of the forbidden army, he brought a knife into the emperor's dormitory, and he wanted to do something to the royal family - immediately cut off the position of commander and drag it down to kill." β
Mu Zhou was already a little upset, but after suddenly hearing her sentence "drag it down and kill it", he directly turned dirty.
At this time, there were two people, Meng Yan and Qi Guanxiu, who couldn't beat him or run away, so he quickly threw away the knife and knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The princess spares her lifeβthe princess spares her lifeβ"
Qi Guanxiu glanced at Meng Yan, and saw that the latter had no intention of stopping it, so he waved his hand, and immediately his subordinates stepped forward and dragged him out.
Mu Zhou saw that Luo Liyao was indifferent, so he hurriedly turned to Ning Zhong, that is: "Ning Xiang-Ning Xiang saves a minister-Ning Xiang-"
"If you shout again, you will pull out your tongue and kill again!" Luo Liyao scolded coldly, so frightened that Mu Zhou suddenly lost his words, and even Ning Zhong, who was about to speak, was stunned for a moment, "Drag it out." β
Su Luoran glanced at Tianji and wisely remained silent.
Because Luo Xizheng was not completely out of danger, Luo Liyao's mood was sad and angry, and she urgently needed a venting point, and this venting point naturally fell on the head of the unlucky ghost Mu Zhou.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ning Zhong, the prime minister, is easily unable to move, but Mu Zhou is different, after all, he is really stupid enough to enter the emperor's bedroom with a knife - so many pairs of eyes have seen it, and there is no way to defend it.
As for whether he was instructed by Ning Zhongji to do this, no one cared at all.
He's really cannon fodder.
Ye Luoqing patted Luo Liyao's back, soothing her emotions.
"Ning Xiang has been an official for many years, and it must be clear what can be done and what cannot be done." Luo Liyao nodded at her, then glanced at Ning Zhongji coldly, "What you have done, you know best, and sooner or later there will be retribution." β
"It's a reckless man tonight." Ning Zhong didn't know the threat in her words, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, princess, for raising your noble hand." β
After saying that, after taking another look at Luo Xizheng on the bed, he was sent out by Qi Guanxiu.
Meng Yan stepped forward, looked at Luo Liyao with concern, and said, "Your Highness has worked hard all night, so let's go back to Canglan first......
"Not necessarily." Luo Liyao raised her hand to interrupt his words, and immediately began to drive people away, "It's late at night, you all go first."
Let's go back. β
Tang Haoqi happened to walk in with a bowl of hemostatic decoction, and when he heard her words, he suddenly understood in his heart.
He hurriedly stepped forward obediently and put the decoction away, pulled Shi Yuezhen and walked out, leading by example: "Since His Highness has said so, then we will go firstββ"
"Hey, you-" Shi Yue really didn't mean to leave, and was just about to open his mouth when Tang Haoqi pulled him again, and he was suddenly unhappy, "What are you doing-ahh β
"Let's go, let's go, I'll remember to ask Bang Yue to bring clean clothes to His Highness later!" Tang Haoqi covered Shi Yuezhen's mouth and resisted her away, and by the way, he didn't forget to give Su Luoran, who was a little stunned, a look, "Didn't you say that you were going to write a letter to your sister tonight?" Haven't written it yet, have you? β
"Oh yes!" Su Luoran blinked, hurriedly understood, nodded at Luo Liyao, and then pulled Tianji and followed behind Tang Haoqi and Shi Yuezhen, "Since there's nothing to do here, let's go first, Your Highness!" β
Luo Liyao: "......"
Mo Curtain pulled Yu An, Yu An hurriedly said, "The slave is going to prepare hot water for His Highness" and went out with Mo Hang, and by the way, he dragged away He Xuelin, who was not blind.
All of a sudden, everyone scattered in an instant, except for Luo Liyao and Luo Xizheng, who was unconscious on the bed, only Ye Luoqing and Meng Yan remained.
Meng Yan wanted to speak and stopped, but Ye Luoqing was the first to speak: "Generally, patients at this time still have some consciousness, Your Highness can try to talk to Your Majesty - maybe you can really help him get through this difficulty." β
"I understand." Luo Liyao nodded, watched her walk outside the hall, and said softly, "Senior go slowly." β
When he walked past Meng Yan, Ye Luoqing glanced at him.
Meng Yan was very alert, and instantly noticed her gaze and looked back at her.
Ye Luoqing didn't speak, only smiled lightly and nodded to him, although Meng Yan didn't understand her intentions, he also politely returned the salute - although he didn't know who this woman was or what her identity was, Luo Liyao called her a "senior" and respected her very much, so he naturally wouldn't maliciously speculate anything.
But there was such a big thing today, the emperor was assassinated, and now he is still lying unconscious on the bed, and then looking at Luo Liyao's blood-stained clothes, and the corpse of He Xuelin, who had just been dragged away by the ink curtain and Yu'an, Meng Yan guessed these about seventy-seven-eighty-eight.
Meng Yan is a person who has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, and he can see at a glance that there are two kinds of blood stains on Luo Liyao's body - one has been dried up for a long time, and the other is just dyed.
And Luo Liyao didn't care what he was thinking in his heart, he turned around and continued to be by Luo Xizheng's side.
"Your Highness." Meng Yan suddenly had some bad premonitions, and hurriedly called Luo Liyao and persuaded, "Your Highness has also been tired for a day, so let's go back and rest quickly." β
General Meng laughed. Luo Liyao didn't reply, she knelt down in front of Luo Xizheng's bed, and took a handkerchief to gently wipe the fine sweat oozing from his forehead for him, "Only I am the most suitable person to stay here." β
Meng Yan was stunned: "Your Highness......"
"This knife should have been stabbed in me." Luo Liyao paused, as if remembering that his wide sleeves were too obstructive, so he directly rolled up the sleeves on his arms, and began to drive people away calmly and indifferently, "If General Meng is free, he will take the commander of the official to the southern suburbs to investigate the maple forest again-the remnants of the King of Juan have been in ambush there for a long time, and they were in a hurry when they fled, so there must be some clues to follow." β
Meng Yan: "......"
said this, obviously thinking that he was in front of him, and by the way, he arranged a small but important errand for him.
But Meng Yan can't shirk it, now that the emperor is assassinated, it is a critical juncture, and he should also take on such a responsibility.
It's just that he always faintly feels that something is wrong, and he has this strange feeling since he entered the Yiyuan Palace.
"Take care, Your Highness." After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason, so I simply didn't think about it, "The minister retired first." β
"Hmm."
Luo Liyao still hasn't looked back, and now she is full of worries about Luo Xizheng.
She no longer had the energy to think about how Meng Yan and the others would view her relationship with Luo Xizheng, nor did she have time to think about Chen Heng who was thrown into the Heishui Heavenly Prison and Qiu Yu and others who were corrected on the spot, let alone thinking about the current situation of Luo Chengjun and Yun Junze and their next steps.
In front of her, there was only the man who sacrificed his life to save her.
Luo Xizheng's face was pale, her brows were furrowed, and fine and dense sweat was constantly oozing from the pain on her forehead, which was an unprecedented state of vulnerability, something she had never seen before.
