Chapter 5: The Emperor's Assassination
Feng Qingfeng and Feng Qingshuang, two siblings, saw Zhong Licong who came forward and greeted him together.
Feng Qingshuang saw that she was so close to Zhong Licong, her face was flushed and shy.
When Ye Xi saw her like this, she whispered in her heart, no wonder she looked at me like an enemy, it turned out that she was jealous that I could be so close to Zhong Licong, cut, the man she likes doesn't mean that I can also look at it.
Although Zhong Licong is quite handsome, he is ruthless and ruthless, and he is too deep in the city, this kind of man is very scary, and he doesn't dare to compliment him. Although Shen Yunche is also the same kind of person, she would like him at the beginning, it was because he made a lot of changes for herself, but the man in front of her would not change himself because of who he liked.
Besides, I still have big things to accomplish, and I will never think about who I like now? And getting married? There will definitely be a fierce battle between her and Shen Yunche, so when she left by herself, she would be so resolute and not leave herself the slightest way out.
Feng Qingshuang put her hands at her side and saluted Zhong Licong in front of her.
With a calm and indifferent expression, Zhong Licong raised his hand and motioned for her to get up.
Zhong Licong looked at Ye Xi, the face of the moon and the breeze, with his own nobility, "Miss Ye, you're hungry!" This king invited you to eat at Wangxinglou, would you like to enjoy your face? ”
Ye Xi saw that the sky was getting dark, and it was time for dinner, she nodded and smiled slightly, "Okay!" It's rare that King Ming invites me, why do you want to slaughter you, and then don't say that I eat too much! ”
The personal guard behind Zhong Licong, Wang Kang understood why his master was interested in the woman in front of him. The woman in front of her is not delicate and pretentious, frank and pure, and she looks stunning, compared with the eldest lady of the Feng family next to her, Feng Qingshuang, the first talented woman in the capital and the first beauty, I don't know how many times better.
When Wang Kang saw Miss Feng's pretense, he couldn't wait to throw him a few meters away, but Miss Ye was pleasing to the eye after all.
Although Miss Ye is not very polite to people many times, she at least lives a more real life and does not pretend.
Wang Kang saw that Feng Qingshuang wanted to slowly approach his master, he stood next to him and stopped her, his eyes cold.
Zhong Licong walked in front, Ye Xi followed him, and the two walked out of the Chaoxi Tower side by side.
The emperor of the palace here, changed his clothes, secretly ran out of the palace, and saw all kinds of novelties on the street, he wanted them, so he sent a personal eunuch who followed behind, bought some, and let him take them.
The reason why the emperor sneaked out today was to find Ye Xi, I don't know why? He wanted to see her, especially her unbridled smile, which fascinated people.
He had an urge to keep her by his side, and if he could watch her smile all day long, he would probably be much less depressed in the court.
Zhong Licong walked on the road, and when he saw her running around, he always liked to stop at those stalls, touch the east and look the west, but he didn't buy it.
He asked, "Do you want it?" This king buys it for you! He pointed to a vendor who bought small clay figurines and asked her, but Ye Xi shook his head.
When she saw someone in front of her buying fried chestnuts with sugar, she ran to the front and smiled, "Uncle, how much is a pack of fried chestnuts with sugar?" ”
The uncle smiled silly, "A pack of five cents!" ”
Ye Xiwan smiled, "Uncle, give you money!" No need to look for it. He smiled from ear to ear, and took a tael of broken silver.
When Ye Xi turned to leave, he said a few words, "Uncle, I wish you a prosperous business!" After saying that, he walked to Zhong Licong's side.
Ye Xi held the sugar-fried chestnuts in his hand in front of him, "Eat!" ”
Zhong Licong had never eaten these things on the street, and he hesitated for a moment before reaching out for one. Wang Kang couldn't believe it when he saw his master eating something on the street, and his expression was shocked.
He must have been dazzled, Wang Kang rubbed his eyes, and when he saw that his master really knew how to eat, he muttered to himself in his heart, this Ye girl is really good, she can make an exception for the master who never eats things on the street, and eat those things that are considered unclean in the eyes of the master.
Zhong Licong looked at her clear and transparent, watery eyes, there was no trace of impurities in her eyes, he felt that it was a sin to reject her, and she always gave people an innate sense of trust, as if she would never harm herself and have no reason to believe in her.
Zhong Licong couldn't peel chestnuts, which caused a certain woman to laugh, "Hahaha! You don't even know this, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the dignified King Ming to not even peel a sugar-fried chestnut. She laughed again for a long time.
Zhong Licong thought to himself, is it that funny? was slightly blushing when she laughed, Ye Xi saw him like this, if he was seen by others, he would definitely not believe it.
Ye Xi didn't tease him, she took the chestnut from his hand, and broke it in half with a force from the small gap in the middle, and she took out the chestnut meat.
Zhong Licong had surprise on his face, but he didn't expect her to break it with a light touch.
Ye Xi put it in his hand, "Eat!" ”
Zhong Licong threw the whole pill into his mouth, chewed it slowly, the taste was sweet but not greasy, and there was a hint of crispy aroma, which felt very good.
After Zhong Licong swallowed it, he reached out and asked her for a few.
Ye Xi held the chestnut wrapped in paper in front of Wang Kang, "You can taste it too!" ”
Wang Kang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there would be his share.
Ye Xi knew what he was thinking? Ying Ying smiled, "Good things have to be eaten separately to be delicious!" Eat! Seeing that he didn't stretch out his hand, she said again.
Wang Kang glanced at Zhong Licong and saw that he didn't say anything? I dared to reach out and take one.
After they arrived at Wangxinglou, Zhong Licong asked for an Accord, Xiao Er followed in, Zhong Licong said a word, and brought the best food in the restaurant.
Zhong Licong occasionally comes to this restaurant when he eats out, so he is a frequent visitor here.
The emperor originally planned to go to Ye Mansion and find Ye Xi. On the street, a man with his head down, wearing a coarse linen coat, and couldn't see his appearance clearly, deliberately bumped into the little emperor, and unknowingly had an extra dagger in his hand, only to see him secretly stab into the other party's chest.
The emperor fell to the ground in an instant, red blood slowly gushed out of his chest, his eyes widened in disbelief, and the personal eunuch next to him was terrified, paused, and shouted, "Murder, murder!" ”
He crouched down and cried out in fear, "Someone! Hurry up! ”
There was a lot of buzz in the streets, all talking.
The secret guard who secretly protected the emperor appeared, carried the emperor on his back, and sent the emperor back to the palace.
Most of the people in this building can guess who the person in front of them is when they see him? After all, the yellow jade pendant on his waist symbolizes his noble status.
This restaurant is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Zhiwan City, and the people who can come to this building are all dignitaries. Today's Zhong Licong took a woman to the restaurant for the first time, although everyone was suspicious, but no one would ask, after all, it was the other party's private matter, and his status was extremely high, and no one dared to ask.
The last time I went to the Yiyue Tower, compared with this star-gazing tower, it was much lower. Last time, someone else was looking for him, so he invited himself to dinner, if it wasn't for the good information that the other party gave him, he wouldn't have gone?
After a while, the dishes were ready.
Ye Xi looked at the big table of dishes, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, picked up the chopsticks, and tasted the braised lion's head.
Ye Xi couldn't help but nod his head in praise, "It tastes great!" ”
Ye Xi ate with relish, and Zhong Licong ate slowly. Zhong Licong watched her cheeks bulging from eating, with a look of enjoyment and a wanton smile.
Zhong Licong felt that watching her eat was also a pleasure, and he looked at her, slowly stopping his chopsticks and watching her eat.
Ye Xi saw that he hadn't eaten, staring at herself, and she asked suspiciously, "Why don't you eat!" ”
Zhong Licong smiled indifferently, "Look at you eating!" ”
Ye Xi gave him a blank look and continued to fight with the food in front of him.
At this moment, Wang Kang outside knocked on the door, "Your Highness! ”
Zhong Li Cong said coldly, "Come in!" ”
After he came in, he whispered a few words in his ear, and when Zhong Licong heard it, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold light.
Ye Xi saw that his face had changed, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhong Licong's face was not sad or happy, but his tone was cold, "The emperor has been assassinated!" ”
Ye Xi was shocked, how could the emperor be assassinated when he was in the palace? And it's not dark yet, could it be that he secretly went out of the palace, a certain woman guessed in her heart.
Ye Xi looked at him and asked, "The emperor is in the palace, how could he be assassinated?" And it's still daytime? ”
Zhong Licong stood up and replied, "He secretly left the palace!" I'll go first, you eat slowly! ”
I heard that he wanted to go out of the palace to find Ye Xi, but he was intercepted in the middle of the road and stabbed him.
Ye Xi put down his chopsticks and said to him, "Then let's go together, don't forget, I'm a doctor!" ”
Ye Xi took a chicken leg and ate it as he walked, Zhong Licong shook his head amusedly.
This time they entered the palace in a carriage.
When they entered the palace, they came to the little emperor's bedroom, Shangyang Palace.
The dormitory is splendid, and every thing in it is worth a fortune by the way, Ye Xi looked at those things and thought to himself, if he took a few pieces out and sold them, it was estimated that it would cost hundreds of thousands.
Zhong Licong looked at her looking at those antiques, his eyes lit up, his helpless expression, shook his head, and secretly thought in his heart, how could Ye Yi have such a quirky and money-loving sister.
Ye Xi looked inside, several imperial doctors looked anxious and flustered, and they were helpless.
I only listened to one of the imperial doctors, sitting on the edge of the emperor's bed, shaking his head, "The emperor is bleeding too much, the wound is too deep, and there is nothing Wei Chen can do!" ”
His words were so angry that the Queen Mother grabbed him by the collar and forced, "The mourning family didn't listen to you say that there was nothing to do, the mourning family didn't care, if something happened to the emperor?" The mourning family let you be buried by the Tai Medical Bureau! She said and gave him a hard push.
Ye Xi walked up, his tone was strict and serious, and said to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, it's better to let the courtiers take a look!" ”
The Queen Mother looked suspicious and didn't believe her expression.
Seeing this, Zhong Licong said, "Sister-in-law, let Miss Ye try first, it's better than doing nothing!" He reassured.
The Queen Mother let go, Ye Xi stood by the bed, looked at it, and sat on the stool next to the bed.
She looked at the wound on his chest, it was indeed deep, but it had not hurt his lungs, and he was still saved.
Ye Xi's medicine box was not by her side, she looked at Zhong Licong, and the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, King Ming, if you believe in the courtiers, let the courtiers have surgery, maybe the emperor still has a chance of life!" ”
Ye Xi looked at the emperor's wound, and kept leaving bright red blood, but it was slower than at the beginning, and it was estimated that the imperial doctor gave him some kind of medicine to stop bleeding.
At this time, the groggy emperor woke up, with a hint of joy, and said hoarsely and with difficulty, "I am very happy to see you for the last time!" ”
The queen mother next to her looked grief-stricken, distressed, and couldn't cry.
What does the emperor want to say? But I couldn't hear him say it. I could only watch the Queen Mother cry in front of her.
His voice was so small that Ye Xi thought it was a mosquito buzzing in her ears, but she still heard what he had to say.
Ye Xi's firm expression and unyielding countenance, "You won't die!" With me, you will never die, and the person I want to save will never let him die in front of me. ”
Ye Xi commanded coldly, with a serious expression, "Bring me a needle and thread, right away!" ”
The people did not understand, what did she want to do with the needle?
Zhong Licong ordered, someone brought needle and thread, and Ye Xi took the needle and thread.
Ye Xi had a serious attitude, his eyes were bright, and he had a confident expression, "Is there any hemp boiling!" She asked the Imperial Doctor, who was standing on the side.
The Imperial Physician nodded, "Then bring me some!" She said seriously.
The Imperial Physician took a bottle of hemp boiling powder from his medicine box and handed it to her.
Ye Xi looked at everyone, "No matter what you see in a while?" Don't rush to ask, don't be scared, or stop me from having surgery. When I'm done, I'll answer your questions? Explain it to you. ”
After she finished speaking, she ordered someone to take a pair of scissors, and she used the scissors to cut the bloody clothes on his chest, and then wiped the blood off his chest, and poured hemp on it.
After waiting for a while, the medicine had an effect, and she pressed it hard, "Does it still hurt?" ”
The little emperor shook his head in a daze and muttered, "It doesn't hurt so much!" ”
Then, Ye Xi stretched out a hand, reached into his wound, closed his eyes, and felt whether his heart and lungs were hurt or blood was left in his chest.
His wounds didn't hurt his heart and lungs, so that's easy to do! It's just that there is blood in the chest cavity, and the blood stasis must be released.
She looked at the people present and asked eagerly, "Is there a tube, just the kind that is hollow in the middle and round in appearance!" ”
Zhong Licong thought that there was a jade pipe of that style in his house, and he used it to make a jade flute. But it's too late to pick it up now.
The Imperial Physician remembered that he had made a woodwind, which was his grandson, and he used it as a flute to play, and he often brought it with him and could use it, and he usually kept it in the medicine box, and he took it out of the medicine box.
Ye Xi's face was full of joy, and she took it with a smile, only to see that she put the tube on the wound.
The Queen Mother looked worried, she looked at her ways of saving people, which made her extremely worried, but the imperial doctor was already helpless, so she could only let her heal, if his emperor was lost, she would definitely pay for her life.
Ye Xi moved his body a little, so that he was sideways, and the wound was facing him.
Then, she took a deep breath, there was a hint of blood in her mouth, she let go of her mouth at once, and a lot of blood immediately flowed out of the tube.
Ye Xi repeated her movements until there was no more blood inside, and she began to suture the surgery.
Her movements were extremely fast, like flowing water, threading the needle and thread, sewing it after dividing it by two in three times, only to see her tie a dead knot and cut it gently with scissors.
She exhaled a vicious breath, and her tense emotions immediately relaxed, and her whole body seemed to fall apart.
She was about to wipe the sweat on her head with her sleeve, but suddenly an extra hand appeared in front of her, holding a moon-white sweat towel in her hand and handing it to her.
She took it with a smile and said by the way, thank you!
Ye Xi wiped his sweat and checked his pulse, and the Queen Mother looked panicked and asked anxiously, "How?" ”
Ye Xi was indifferent and smiled softly, "It's okay, the emperor just needs to rest well and slowly heal his injuries, and after ten days and half a month of wound healing, he will be completely fine." ”
After Ye Xi finished speaking, the Queen Mother looked ecstatic and looked at her son. Ye Xi advised, "In the past few days, it is best to lie on the bed, don't move, don't get water on the wound, eat some light food, avoid spicy food, and don't drink alcohol!" ”
After she finished speaking, she smiled with a spring breeze on her face, "His Royal Highness King Ming, it's getting late, I have to trouble you to send me home!" ”
Zhong Licong didn't speak, but he turned around and walked out of Shangyang Palace, and said lightly, follow!
