Chapter 492: Scars
Xie Yutang took a deep look at Chi Wan on the bed, "From today onwards, I will train them personally." ”
When the Nine Princes heard this, they were immediately surprised and delighted, with him personally in charge, the effect must be extraordinary.
Originally, the Nine Princes were worried that after such a fuss, no one would come to join them, but they didn't expect that the crowd that came every day was endless, and there was no tendency to weaken at all.
"It seems that you, a general, are still very prestigious among the people." Nine Princes' words are not compliments, to be honest, most of these people who came to take refuge came for Xie Yutang.
Xie Yutang was not overjoyed by this, but felt a little embarrassed, he had to train the army, and in this way, the time to accompany Chi Wan was greatly reduced. But fortunately, Chi Wan's fever gradually subsided, and the person also sobered up.
Chi Wan knew their current situation, and did not ask Xie Yutang to accompany her, but always let him go out to deal with business.
"You are the head of our thousands of people, you can't always be immersed in the private affairs of your children, and when the time comes, everyone should scold me for being a bad woman."
During this time, probably because of self-blame, Xie Yutang has always treated her like a porcelain doll, she doesn't want the other party to blame herself too much, after all, everything she does is willing.
The sun shone on Chi Wan's face, and two narrow scars crossed the entire face, making her look a little scary, in fact, in addition to these injuries that can be seen on the surface, she has many injuries on her body, especially on her back, there is almost no good meat, so she can only sleep on her side or stomach every day.
"I regret it a little now." Suddenly, Xie Yutang came up with such a sentence.
Ji Wan was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her head as fast as she could, not letting him see the scar on her face. Is he starting to dislike himself? That's right, the scar on my face is so ugly, I don't know if it can be good.
Xie Yutang saw her subconscious movements, and immediately realized that her words had misunderstood her.
"I regret that I didn't listen to you at the beginning, retired early, or after the king of Chu was unfavorable to me, I chose to fly away, hide in the mountains and forests, and be a happy fairy couple, in this way, you will not suffer so much."
Hearing this, Chi Wan quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, how could she doubt Xie Yutang's sincerity to herself, but now that the feelings are still there, Xie Yutang naturally won't dislike herself, but after a long time, will he get tired of facing such a face?
She was very disgusted with such thoughts in her heart, but she couldn't help but think about it in this way.
In the past, Chi Wan might have chosen to leave in style, but now that she has experienced ups and downs, the bond between the two has become deeper and deeper, and she has found that she has no way to leave Xie Yutang.
"Wanwan." Xie Yutang sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Chi Wan's shoulders over, forcing her to look at herself. From Ji Wan's bright eyes, he could clearly see his face, Ji Wan bit her lip and turned her head a little embarrassed.
"Don't look at me, I'm so ugly right now." A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"How so? I think you're the most beautiful girl in the world. Xie Yutang was full of helplessness, no matter what her appearance was, she was so beautiful in her eyes, but she didn't seem to believe it.
Chi Wan's hand gently touched the scar on her face, she felt terrible when she looked in the mirror, how could she be called beautiful?
"If you don't believe my words, I can be like you." Chi Wan didn't understand the meaning of Xie Yutang's words, so she saw him pull out a dagger and actually want to slash it on his face.
"What are you going to do?" Ji Wan immediately stopped him, and even so, there was a long wound on his face, although it was very shallow, there was also a trace of blood oozing out.
Ji Wan looked at the wound on his face, distressed and self-blaming, "How can you be so stupid?" ”
Xie Yutang didn't care about the injury on his face at all, and there was a smile in his eyes, "Aren't you worried that I will dislike you?" Then I'll be as good as you are. ”
"You ......" Ji Wan was moved and didn't know what to say.
The Ninth Prince listened to it for a long time at the door, and finally couldn't listen anymore, and walked straight in, "You two are really enough, do you treat me, a medical saint, as a dead person?" ”
When there were only the two of them before, they didn't feel anything, but now that the Nine Princes came in directly, Xie Yutang and Chi Wan both felt a little embarrassed.
"I don't say hello when I come." Xie Yutang was the first to speak to break the silence.
The Ninth Prince gave him a big roll of his eyes, "I'm afraid that if I don't come in again, you pair of hard-working mandarin ducks will be martyred directly." ”
Being teased by him like this, both of their cheeks flushed.
"I'm really convinced, you two have any questions, can't you come and ask me this doctor directly? Always guessing there, who told you that the injury on Chi Wan's face wouldn't heal? ”
"We didn't expect ...... either" Xie Yutang wanted to explain, because he didn't care about the wound on Chi Wan's face, so he didn't ask, and suddenly realized the meaning of what he said just now, and a flash of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, "You mean, the wound on her face can be healed and won't leave a scar?" ”
Chi Wan looked at the Ninth Prince very worriedly, only to see that the Ninth Prince raised his chin quite arrogantly, "I'm not the kind of charlatan who wastes his reputation, although the wound on Chi Wan's face is very deep, but I am still sure that she will recover, but ......" At this point he paused, his face was a little distressed.
Xie Yutang immediately answered, "What herbs do you need, just tell me." ”
The Ninth Prince sighed softly, "The medicinal materials for repairing scars are not precious, but now that we are trapped here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them all." ”
"Leave the matter to me, I can find a way to break out and find the medicinal herbs you need."
Seeing his happy appearance, the Nine Princes really couldn't bear to tell him that although Chi Wan had recovered now, it hurt the roots, and the condition could recur at any time, even life-threatening.
After Ji Wan knew that the wound on her face could be healed, her mood suddenly improved a lot, but her mental state was still very poor, and she always couldn't wake up for long, so she fell asleep groggily.
Xie Yutang didn't know what was going on with her, because every time he came back, Ji Wan would always try to wake herself up.
On this day, after the Ninth Prince changed Chi Wan's medicine, she suddenly said, "If one day, I can't do it, you can take me out of here, saying that I am looking for medicine, in this way, at least I can leave a thought for Yutang, and after a long time, he will be able to accept it slowly." ”
"How can you say such unfortunate things? I said I could save you, do you look down on me? The Nine Princes pretended to be angry and frowned, but in fact they were secretly frightened. He thought he was hiding it well, why did Ji Wan still say that?
There was a weak smile on the corner of Ji Wan's mouth, "My own body, isn't it clear to me?" Recently, I feel weaker and weaker, and I have less and less time to be awake during the day. ”
Hearing this, the Nine Princes couldn't help but be silent, Chi Wan injured the Yuan Shen, and the wound area on her back was too big, coupled with the shortage of medicines, she was always infected again and again, so it was not a way to drag it on like this.
"That's my only request, and I hope you can agree to me for the sake of your friends." Chi Wan looked at the Nine Princes pleadingly.
The Ninth Prince felt a pain in his heart, "As long as I am here, I will never let you die." After speaking, regardless of Chi Wan's reaction, she picked up the medicine bowl and left the room as if she were running away.
On the other side, the king of Chu knew from the mouth of the spy that there were more and more people under Xie Yutang's hands, and he was suddenly anxious and couldn't sleep at night.
"Immediately send people to guard all passes and city gates, and once you find that someone dares to take refuge in Xie Yutang, immediately arrest his family and behead him for public display!" King Chu was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, he wanted to see, in this way, who else would dare to take refuge in Xie Yutang?!
The people below hesitated for a moment before cautiously replying, "But Your Majesty, every time they take refuge, they drag their families with them, where are we going to arrest his family?" ”
"If you can't catch his family, you will arrest his friends and neighbors!" The king of Chu flicked his sleeves suddenly, and his facial features looked a little hideous because of anger.
Isn't this just a joint sitting?
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu immediately stood up against it, "Your Majesty, if you do this, it will only make the people more and more afraid, I am afraid that when the time comes, there will be more and more people who will run away, and Weichen feels that it is better to give favors to the people." ”
"That's right, these flat-headed people are all short-sighted, as long as they give them a little sweetness, they will naturally know who they can really rely on."
Hearing the words of the ministers, the attitude of the king of Chu also relaxed a little, "Go down and tell them that if you report the escaper, you will be rewarded with ten silver chariots per person, but it will not be ......."
He changed his words, "It is not okay to give a little punishment to those who escape, otherwise where is my majesty?" ”
In the end, it was decided that once someone escaped, the nine clans would be punished.
After the dispersal of the court, the ministers gathered together in twos and threes to discuss in a whisper the affairs of the court this morning.
"Our Majesty's temper is really getting more and more irritable, I used to think that he was a gentleman, gentle as jade, why is it like eating dynamite every day now." Someone shook his head and sighed in confusion.
At that moment, a minister who opposed the king of Chu answered, "In the past, he was just a prince who was not powerful, so he naturally wanted to hide his true nature, but now that he has great power, what do you want, it is not a matter of words, how can he continue to disguise it?" ”
"Alas, Your Majesty practiced violence. Politics, the hundreds of people under him have long been miserable, no wonder so many people have gone to General Xie. ”
