Beiyue Chapter 57 "Human Non-Human"
The third prince of Daxin was sitting precariously with an angry face, and Mo Che was waiting respectfully aside.
A few steps away knelt down with the medical officer he had seen the day before, his eyes were extremely panicked: "Your Highness, the villain has been wronged, and Lord Mo Che has been beside the villain twice, watching the villain dispense medicine and decoction with his own eyes, there is nothing wrong with the villain's side, and Lord Mo Che, you have to testify to His Royal Highness on behalf of the villain." The medical officer looked at him, pinning all his hopes on him.
Don't take the car and scan the medical officer coldly, and then salute Ling Chengzhi and reply: "Your Highness, the villain can testify." ”
After listening to him, the medical officer secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Chengzhi waved his hand, and Mo Che got up and stood back in place.
Ling Chengzhi leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and a terrifying smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Ning drank your medicine for the first time, not only did it not get better, but it aggravated the condition, this king gave you another chance, but after drinking the second bowl of medicine from the doctor, you couldn't wake up today, didn't you see that she was from the Central Plains, and deliberately took advantage of the fact that she was not prepared, what more medicine did you add, this king heard that the medical officer, you hate the Central Plains people very much?" ”
These words made the medical officer shudder, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he trembled: "Your ...... Your Highness, even if the villain has ...... There are ten dares, and they don't dare to add medicine, Your Highness...... The villain's decoction of the medicine was personally served to His Highness by Lord Mo Che, and His Highness ......"
Ling Chengzhi looked at Hemo Che, and was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, the villain is loyal to His Highness, and he will not dare to make a mistake, please let Your Highness know." ”
Ling Chengzhi glanced at him meaningfully: "Get up, this king believes in you." ”
"No." And after Mo Che got up, he stood beside Ling Chengzhi more respectfully, and looked at the medical officer kneeling on the ground, his eyes were clearly resentful of him for pulling this matter on him.
When the medical officer saw his eyes, he lowered his head weakly, suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said cautiously: "Your Highness, the villain swears by his life, the villain obeys you, if the villain does anything sorry for His Highness and the girl, the villain will not die well, think about it, the girl is too sick, this medicine has not yet worked, please give the villain another chance." As he spoke, he put his head on the ground.
At this time, Ling Chengzhi's face was frosty: "Your life is not valuable, I don't dare to make a mistake, this king will give you one last chance today, if Xiao Ning's illness can't be solved, you will go and cut yourself." ”
"No, no, the villain understands, the villain understands......"
"Go."
"No." After the medical officer finished speaking, he ran out of the house.
……
Ling Chengzhi has been guarding in front of Ji Qianning's couch until Mo Che brought the medicine, he took the medicine bowl, unlike the previous two times, this time, he had to feed her personally.
Ji Qianning opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw the person beside her, she shouted weakly: "Ling Chengzhi." ”
Ling Chengzhi was a little happier when he saw her wake up, and he was even happier when he heard her call his name gently, as if he heard a long-lost "Brother Chengzhi", and his tone suddenly became much softer: "Drink medicine." He handed the medicine bowl to Mo Che, gently held her in his arms, and Mo Che handed the medicine to him, he gently stirred it with a spoon a few times, scooped up a spoon and put it in his mouth, feeling that it was not hot, and then began to feed her.
Seeing such a scene, Mo Che retreated with interest.
"I'll do it myself." Ji Qianning wanted to break free from him, but she couldn't use her strength.
Ling Chengzhi clamped her tighter: "Be obedient, after drinking the medicine, the king will let you go." ”
Hearing him say this, Ji Qianning obediently drank the medicine. When the medicine bowl bottomed out, Ling Chengzhi put it aside casually and helped her lie back on the couch.
"Get a good night's sleep, get up, and you'll be cured."
Ling Chengzhi's gentle words made Ji Qianning extremely uncomfortable, but she didn't care so much, she protected her hands around her waist, and after a while, drowsiness struck.
When she woke up again, it was dusk on the second day, and she suddenly felt much more relaxed, her body was no longer hot, and her mind was unusually clear. She just got up and got down from the couch, and before she could stand still, she almost fell to the ground in front of her, but fortunately she was supported on the couch in time, she shook her head, trying to wake herself up, the illness was like a thread, her body was so weak, it took a while for her to recover. She turned and took two steps forward, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured herself a few cups to refresh herself.
Suddenly I smelled the fragrance of earth, and when I walked to the window, I saw that it was pouring rain outside, accompanied by strong winds and lightning and thunder from time to time.
Her hands were attached to her waist, and she felt the hidden things, and then she was at ease, looking at the rain curtain pouring down, remembering something, and a subtle smile on the corner of her mouth.
That night, she lied that her clothes were wet with sweat, tricked Ling Chengzhi into going out, and watched his figure disappear, she looked around vigilantly, so she put a bowl of medicine beside her, quickly took out a small bamboo tube prepared in advance from her arms, unscrewed the lid, picked up the golden bowl, carefully filled it with the decoction, quickly drank the little medicine left in the bowl, put the bowl aside, screwed the bamboo tube lid, and hid it in her arms again.
She lay on the bed again, her body was a little hot and sweating more, but her mind was clear.
When Ling Chengzhi found his clothes and watched his figure disappear again, she closed the door, carefully took out the two small bamboo tubes on her body and put them beside her, untied her clothes, and put on the dress prepared by Ling Chengzhi.
This time, she also used a little trick to get Ling Chengzhi to leave, and when she saw that there was no one around, she poured the medicine into the empty bamboo tube, which made her condition even more serious.
A thunderbolt pulled back her thoughts, she tightened the bamboo tube around her waist, that day, seeing Xuan Qi seriously ill, her heart was tormented, but she saw that she was in a dead end, and there was no solution for a while. It's impractical to steal a prescription, so you can only find another way to come up with such a clumsy method, but if you don't give it a try, how can you know if it's feasible, and if it does?
She frowned: "It's been a few days, and I don't know how Xuan Qi is?" For now, the only way to do this is to get the medicine out as soon as possible. The thought of this filled her with strength.
Outside the window, the rain is dashing, dripping plantains; The red lotus in the pool was even more slanted left and right by the dense raindrops, Ji Qianning turned around and stepped out of the door, standing on the corridor and listening to the sound of the rain. Suddenly, he took out something from his arms, held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart: "Yixuan, I'm sorry." ”
It turned out that the piece in her hand was the jade pendant that Yixuan asked her to transfer to Li Ji back then, the world is impermanent, nearly four years, but this thing is still in her hands, she has been carrying this jade pendant, in order to give it to its owner one day. "Yixuan, I'm sorry, I broke my promise; I'm sorry, for the sake of the Six Princes, I had to entangle with Ling Chengzhi. ”
"Xiao Ning."
A call pulled Ji Qianning's thoughts back, she immediately put the jade pendant in her sleeve, turned around and saw the end of the corridor, Ling Chengzhi walked quickly towards her.
As soon as he walked over, he put his hand on her forehead: "The fever has subsided, Xiao Ning, you are finally better, these two days, you are worried about the death of the king." Feeling that her forehead was no longer hot, and her face was not as haggard as before, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and her tone was a little joyful.
"Yes, the third prince will worry about me too." Ji Qianning squeezed out a smile.
"Xiao Ning, what are you talking about, seeing that you have been lying for two days, this king is anxious in his heart, and he can't wait to share one or two for you, Xiao Ning, this king is sincere to you." Ling Chengzhi touched his brows slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't show it.
Ji Qianning scoffed, if she was still that ignorant little girl a few years ago, these words would have moved her. can endure so many great sorrows and joys, the heart seems to become as cold and hard as a stone, unless it is what you want in your heart, otherwise, no matter how much praise and flattery others have, and even those intoxicating love words, it will only feel hypocritical and disgusting, and finally turn into a laugh and sigh......
"In the past two days, thank you for the care of the third prince, I will always be grateful for this kindness." In the past, I was free and easy, and never said anything against my heart, but you see, now I am so handy at telling lies.
"I do." Ling Chengzhi looked at the rain curtain, except for the sound of the rain, there was no noisy sound around, for some reason, he felt a lot more relaxed, yes, he was willing, he still had love for her in his heart, "Xiao Ning, that night, what you said to this king can still count?" ”
"Hmm." Ji Qianning knew that it was a lie, so she gave him an ambiguous answer.
Ling Chengzhi was overjoyed, turned around and held her hand, looked at her affectionately, suddenly thought of something, and said to himself: "This king was happy for a while, but he forgot that you had just recovered from your illness, and it was cold outside, so go into the house and rest, be careful that your body can't bear it." ”
Ji Qianning didn't say anything, let him help him into the house, and inadvertently glanced at him, although those eyes were still unfathomable, but he was as breezy and moonlit as an immortal in his memory, and now he couldn't find a trace of the light of the past, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart......
Ji Qianning didn't know that although he was a famous beautiful man in Kyushu, he was not as good as she saw it. At that time, young and ignorant, he thought that he was his beloved, so he poured his deep affection into him, and it was her love that made him shine. Without love, the light is gone......
……
At night, the ugliness is coming to an end, people are already asleep, Ji Qianning is wearing a black dress when she changes in, wearing a veil, at this moment, she must hurry up and deal with one thing.
Before it was dark, she observed that Ling Chengzhi's bedroom was less than 100 meters away from her, and everything had to be done carefully, so in order not to be noticed by him, she deliberately did not close the back window, so that she would get out smoothly.
She deftly jumped out of the back window, and immediately drowned in the night, and with a gesture, flew up the roof, and walked on the tile, her toes always an inch above the tile, and the night wind blew the green silk, blew up the placket of her clothes, and flew by, without making a sound. After a while, the mansion where she lived had been left far behind, she looked around, jumped off the eaves, and landed firmly down the street, only to provoke a few barking dogs in the deep alleys.
After the rainstorm, the streets were exceptionally fresh, and the sky was dark, and it was impossible to see the things around him, but Ji Qianning still felt that the ground paved with bluestone slabs was wet. The first time she came to Kowloon City, she couldn't tell the direction, so she had to instinctively go to the only carefree tavern in the city that didn't turn off the lights.
She drove through the street as fast as she could, splashing a puddle of water, and in less than half an hour she found the downstairs of the Sanssouci Tavern, yes, the light was too bright. Although Kowloon City was occupied by the Daxin people, the business in the city was not greatly affected.
Ji Qianning stepped forward, stretched out her hand and just wanted to knock on the door, but immediately turned around and left when she thought of something, went around the back and climbed over the wall, and fell into the backyard. A few steps forward to stand downstairs and knock lightly.
After a while, there was a sound of rustling in the room, and then it was quiet, and before the lights were on, there was a sound.
