Chapter Seventy-Three: Lanting's Thoughts

However, it was said that Wang Qiang was carried to the military medical center, took herbs to awaken the brain and open the mind, and stopped bleeding, and then connected his left arm, put a plaster splint, and tossed for an afternoon, Wang Qiang's breathing was stable, and his life was no longer hindered, but he still closed his eyes tightly, and no one called to wake up.

Zhang Xiaoping and Gu Yanwu saw that the conditions of the military medical clinic were poor and the environment was noisy, which was not conducive to Wang Qiang's recuperation, so they proposed to take Wang Qiang back to live in Tacheng's mansion. After the military medical institute consulted Hong Chengchou, it arranged for a team of soldiers to send Wang Qiang to Tacheng, and at the same time arranged for a military doctor to accompany Wang Qiang's mansion for treatment.

When Wang Qiang came to the Northeast, he brought a few family members, but there was no one who could make up his mind, but Zhang Xiaoping, Gu Yanwu and Wang Qiang had a close relationship, and everything was discussed and decided. Zhang Xiaoping and Gu Yanwu immediately sent someone back to the capital to send a letter to Cai Ling'er, asking her to come to Tacheng quickly, and at the same time arranged for a local famous doctor to treat Wang Qiang, and also mobilized a team of officers and soldiers to be responsible for guarding the outside of Zhao's mansion, and said that the two of them would take turns on duty to take care of Wang Qiang, but at night, Lan Ting wanted to accompany Wang Qiang to take care of her, Zhang Xiaoping and Gu Yanwu couldn't resist her, so they had to agree.

Late that night, Lan Ting was alone in the room with Wang Qiang's bedside, Wang Qiang's face was pale, lying quietly, and he was still in a coma. Lan Ting looked at Wang Qiang silently, and a different kind of tenderness surged in his heart.

Lan Ting was naughty and abnormal when he was a child, like a boy, when he grew up, he followed his father and uncle to go north and south and had a lot of experience, and he saw more than ordinary women, and when she reached the age of Sichun, she longed to marry a hero and knight, so that she could wander the rivers and lakes together. During her time in the Special Administrative Region, she became friends with Cai Ling'er and knew a lot about Wang Qiang, but she was just curious. This time she came to Tacheng, she saw Wang Qiang bare-chested to kill the enemy bravely at the head of Jinzhou City, her heartstrings have been deeply touched, and then, she witnessed Wang Qiang's design to break the enemy, wave the army to recover a series of things in Liaoxi, and even more determined that Wang Qiang is the big hero in his mind, and he is an unwitting secret family. During Wang Qiang's mission to Shengjing, Lan Ting felt empty in his heart, pinched his fingers and looked forward to Wang Qiang's early return, and tasted missing someone for the first time.

Lan Ting didn't dare to show this thought to others, because she felt that it was impossible for her and Wang Qiang to be together, and this infatuation was just a dream after all. It's just that he is a eunuch, and Cai Ling'er is still very happy with Wang Qiang, but he is his own elder, and this obstacle is like a mountain in front of her, and she can't overcome it no matter what. She planned to wait for Wang Qiang's injury to recover, and then she would go back to Suzhou, leave Wang Qiang far away, and hide this relationship in her heart forever, only in her dreams.

She leaned closer and looked at Wang Qiang carefully, and a feeling of happiness swelled in her heart, she could look at him so calmly and without scruples, and she could open her heart and pour out her emotions around him, although he couldn't hear it, she still had a sense of satisfaction and joy. She even hoped that Wang Qiang would be in a coma for a few more days before waking up, so that she could spend a few more days with him like this. Lan Ting's heart was surging, and finally she couldn't help the impulse in her heart, leaned over Wang Qiang's lips and kissed her gently, and then quickly raised her body and lowered her head deeply, her heart was pounding, her face was hot, and she leaned slightly, she secretly raised her eyes and saw that Wang Qiang didn't seem to react, so she made up her mind. After a while, she couldn't help but reach out again, gently caressing Wang Qiang's face, from the forehead, eyebrows, ears, all the way to the chin, when she touched Wang Qiang's chin, she felt something hard pricked her hand, she withdrew her hand in surprise, approached to carefully observe Wang Qiang's chin, and found that there were a few stubbles of beards, she jumped up in shock, how could a eunuch have a beard!

At this moment, Wang Qiang's eyes opened, the fingers of his right hand stretched out to his mouth, and made a "shhh

In fact, Wang Qiang had already woken up when he was in the military medical clinic. On the way back to Jinzhou, he made up his mind to completely get rid of Chongzhen's control by defrauding himself, so he deliberately startled the horse outside Jinzhou City, and then fell and injured himself in front of everyone, and he did faint at that time. When he was given a bone at the military doctor's office, although he took anesthetic, he still woke up in pain, and he pondered that he would simply come to a "deep coma", so that he could deceive everyone, so that he could deceive Chongzhen.

Wang Qiang planned well, but he missed one thing after a thousand calculations: that is, he had to excrete normally! If he doesn't wake up himself, he will have to rely on others for help, but in that case, his identity as a fake eunuch will be exposed. He began to have the urge to urinate in the evening, but at that time, there were many people around him, so he had to endure it, and he wanted to secretly get up and solve it by himself in the dead of night, and he didn't want Lan Ting, the girl, to stay by his side all the time. Lan Ting kissed him just now, and he was also in his heart, but he became more and more embarrassed to open his eyes, until Lan Ting touched his chin, he felt that she must have discovered that she had a beard, so he couldn't help but open his eyes.

Seeing that he was awake, Lan Ting asked Huang Huang, "You, why are you awake?" Y-When did you wake up? ”

Wang Qiang couldn't take care of so much, and said hurriedly: "Lan Ting, don't make a sound, I'll tell you later, you hurry up and go out for a while, show me, I'm in a bit of a hurry to do, hurry, hurry!" ”

Lan Ting didn't know what Wang Qiang meant, and quickly exited the door, Wang Qiang got up and got out of bed, took out the urinal from under the bed, lifted the robe with one hand, and the drowning immediately gushed out, Wang Qiang squinted his eyes, and took a long breath, the comfort in his heart was like entering the ice cellar in June, he happily solved the internal urgency, found a corner of the urinal and hid it, and then lay back on the bed, and shouted softly to the outhouse: "Lan Ting, come in." ”

Lan Ting entered the house, and immediately smelled that the smell was wrong, and couldn't help but cover her nose, she already knew what Wang Qiang was anxious about, and couldn't help but be funny, she quickly lit incense, and the smell in the house was better. However, this mess also diluted the embarrassment in my heart just now.

Wang Qiang was in the mood to recall Lan Ting's act of kissing him just now, and he was sure that this girl had already had feelings for him, and he felt that it was inappropriate, so he thought it would be better to pretend to be confused, so he said: "Oh, Lan Ting, what's wrong with me?" I just remember falling off my horse, until this and this were awakened, and oh, how did my hand come to this? ”

Lan Ting saw that Wang Qiang had just woken up, and Wang Qiang must not have known about his excessive actions just now, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Uncle, you are awake, you fell off your horse outside Jinzhou City, fainted, and your arm was broken, and you are in a hurry to die." But the doctor said that your life is fine, as long as you wake up. Then he talked about all the measures taken by Wang Qiang after he returned home.

Wang Qiang nodded again and again and said, "It's really hard for you." He thought that if he wanted to continue to "coma", he needed someone to secretly cooperate with him, and since Lan Ting already knew, he simply asked her for help. He whispered, "Lanting, I have another difficult matter here that I need your help with. ”

"Oh, uncle, please." Lanting said.

Wang Qiang groaned and said: "You know, I defeated the Qing army this time, and the Qing court hated me to the core, and tried every possible means to plot against me. In the next step, they will definitely spread rumors everywhere about how I am, so that the emperor will be suspicious of me and kill me like he killed Yuan Chonghuan in the first place. So I plan to pretend to be unconscious all the time, so that I can paralyze the Qing court and go to the emperor's suspicions. So when I woke up, don't tell anyone else about it. ”

Lan Ting was very smart, and immediately understood what Wang Qiang meant, and said, "Okay." But don't you tell my uncle and Mr. Gu either? They're all their own people. ”

"I can't say either. What do you think, my injury, the Qing court and even the emperor may have suspicions, eighty percent of them have to send secret agents to listen to the news, if your uncle and Mr. Gu know the truth, the slightest revelation of words and deeds, it is possible to be recognized, so it is better not to tell them for the time being, and it is not too late to tell them when the rumor passes. Wang Qiang said.

"Well, I see, I'll keep it a secret for my uncle." Lan Ting nodded vigorously.

"Also, now only you know my true situation, so you still have to help me a little, the first is that you need to come in person to decoct the medicine and feed the medicine, I have already woken up, if I take the medicine prescribed by the doctor to treat my coma, maybe I can eat me stupidly, so when you decoct the medicine, quietly change the medicine, Hongtang water. And I'm going to be convenient or something, I have to carry people on my back, so when the time comes, you just say that I need to recuperate, don't let idle people wait to enter the house, after I'm convenient, I have to ask you for this, and I have to do it secretly, this is really embarrassing, do you understand? ”

Lan Ting's face flushed, and she nodded vigorously, she suddenly remembered the root of the beard on Wang Qiang's chin, and she was curious, but she was embarrassed to ask directly, and asked around the corner: "Uncle, I've always heard that this father-in-law can't grow a beard, I don't know why?" Isn't there a guild with a beard? ”

Wang Qiang knew that Lan Ting had discovered his beard, and he needed Lan Ting to help him pull out the roots of his beard, and this matter could not be hidden from her, he thought for a while and said: "Generally, men have beards, and women do not have beards, this is the difference between men and women." This eunuch is clean, of course, he is no longer a real man, so this father-in-law should not grow a beard. This, this, but what about it, if this father-in-law is not clean, then he is still a man, and naturally this one will grow a beard. In fact, there are many fathers-in-law in this palace who are not clean, who wants to be neither male nor female, so some of them quietly escaped from this level, you can say me, I didn't clean myself when I first entered the palace. ”

Lan Ting stared at Wang Qiang in surprise, speechless, and thought: No wonder Wang Qiang is not as obscene and trivial as a eunuch, it turns out that he is a man who stands up to the sky, but he is just a eunuch, and no wonder Cai Ling'er is beautiful all day long, but it turns out to be like this.

Wang Qiang saw her surprise, and said with a smile: "Lan Ting, if this eunuch is not purified, it will be a capital crime if he is discovered by the imperial court, and if this matter spreads, I will die." ”

"Nope! No! No! I'll never tell anyone about it, I'm happy for you, you're a big hero, you should have been a man who stood up to the sky, and now it's good. ”

Wang Qiang sighed and said: "You know, in order to conceal this identity, I have suffered a lot, and I have to pull out this beard once in two or three days, otherwise I will be exposed." Now, you're going to help me pull out this beard. ”

"Oh, how do you pull it out?" Lanting asked.

"You open the little cloth bag I have brought with you, and there is a box of oil in it, and you put it on your chin, and after half an hour, you put it on your chin with duct tape, and you pull it off.

--------

Lan Ting helped him pull out his beard according to Wang Qiang's instructions, and the two talked about how to deal with tomorrow's things for a long time. Wang Qiang was tired, and after a while, he fell into a deep sleep. Lan Ting knew Wang Qiang's true identity, and was embarrassed to sleep in the same room with him, so he went to the outer room by himself, and fell asleep on the table in a daze after thinking about it.
