Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
Dingwang's bedroom room.
Li Yi lay on the collapse, and Su Lao used a silver needle to pick open the wound on his back that had been scarred, and sprinkled some medicinal powder on it again.
The sharp stinging sensation made him sweat coldly.
When he was in the valley, although Xiaoguo did his best to give him medicine and change the dressing cloth every day, after all, before the wound was completely healed, the medicine was gone.
In addition, he was not good at lying down and resting, and he was hunting spearfish and soaking in the lake, which caused the wound to become locally red, swollen and inflamed.
"That's it! Try not to get out of bed for three days, don't touch the water on the wound, and change the dressing twice a day! Su Lao put down the silver needle, put away the medicine box, and said again.
Li Yi smiled at him: "Uncle Su, you don't have to worry about me, don't worry about it!" It's a long way to go, so take care of yourself! ”
Su Lao was a little embarrassed: "Ah Yi, as far as our feelings are concerned, I should wait for you to completely recover before leaving." It's just that the girl Forsythia is in the letter, and some things are not very clear, so if I don't go back and take a look, I will be a little uneasy. ”
After Su Lao returned to seclusion, he found a place near the mountains and rivers to recuperate.
In his spare time, he likes to cultivate and plant some precious medicinal herbs, and over time, half of the mountainside is full of herbs, so the world calls the place where he lives as Medicine Mountain.
Forsythia is Su Lao's apprentice, and this time Su Lao was invited to Bian Yang and left her in the mountains to take care of the herbs.
A few days ago, Forsythia sent a letter to say that the medicine garden was destroyed by wild boars in the mountains, urging Su Lao to return to Yaoshan to find a way.
While Yaoshan is famous, it has also attracted countless people who come to seek medicine.
In order to save his life and pick a few herbs, Su Lao didn't care, but what was hateful was that some people with bad intentions took advantage of the night to steal a large number of herbs in the mountains and sell them.
Li Shen was furious when he learned of this, and asked the master to set up layers of organs and barriers for Yaoshan, so as to prevent idle people from disturbing Su Lao's life.
The mysterious Dafa makes people stand in front of the mountain, not knowing where the mountain is, let alone entering!
It's funny to say that what humans with the strongest brains can't do, some animals have instinctively succeeded in doing it!
The wild boar mentioned in the letter was an uninvited guest who broke into the medicine mountain several times.
Although the destructive power of wild boars is strong, it will not make forsythia helpless, not to mention that for this little thing, I specially wrote a letter.
Su Lao sensed that something was wrong, and had the heart to go back to find out, but because Li Yi's life and death were uncertain, he was delayed.
Li Yi was a little reluctant in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Su, don't say that. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had to postpone your return trip for so many days! ”
Su Lao smiled: "Maybe I'm suspicious, this girl has always been ghostly, maybe she was bored in the mountains, so she tricked me back!" ”
Li Yi knew that he intended to comfort himself, and the matter was by no means so simple, so he was moved in his heart: "If you need help, you must speak up, don't be polite!" ”
Su Lao nodded and said, "I will!" ”
He took a few steps out, and then stopped: "Ah Yi, I know that you are a child who is particularly interested in feelings. It's just that some things have passed, just let it pass, don't hold on and not let go! Learn to look at the bearish, so that there will be no regrets in life. Opportunities, happiness, are all things that will slip away if you are a little distracted, take advantage of the opportunity, don't be like me, regret it for life! ”
Li Yi's heart shook and looked at him in a daze.
Could it be that Uncle Su guessed something?
At this time, Liu Han hurriedly came in from outside: "Old Su, the carriage has been prepared, I will arrange for Qingying to escort you back!" ”
"I'm tired."
Su Lao glanced at Li Yi with ulterior motives, smiled slightly, and walked out with Liu Han.
Seeing off Su Lao, Liu Han hurriedly turned around and returned indoors.
He moved a chair and sat down beside Li Yi, staring directly at the wounded man on the bed with a scrutinizing gaze: "Let's be honest, when did you two start?" ”
Could it be that people all over the world have discovered his secret?
At this time, Li Yi was ashamed and embarrassed as if he was stealing a child who was arrested, but his face sank, and he pretended to be calm: "What are you talking nonsense again!" ”
As he spoke, a suspicious flush crept up the tips of his ears.
How could Liu Han be so easy to fool the past, his eyes were like torches, and he affirmed: "Are you still planning to hide it from me?" A man, for the sake of a woman, can directly dispense with his life, what is not love? When you touch a woman, you will be allergic, and the king who regards them as a flood of beasts will take the initiative to hug a woman affectionately, saying that it is because of morality, I'm afraid you don't even believe it, right? ”
At that time, when Li Yi walked out with Xiaoguo in his arms, Liu Han was surprised by the people in his arms, even far greater than if they were still alive.
Li Yi's heart was shaken out, and he simply admitted: "You can't all see this matter, right?" ”
"That's true!" Liu Han jumped up in shock, he pointed at Li Yi with a trembling finger, and complained, "Ah Yi, I treat you as a brother in vain, and I have nothing to say to you, you actually hide such a big thing from me!" ”
Li Yi brushed his fingers away and said in distress: "It's just my thoughts, there's nothing to say, she still doesn't know my true identity!" ”
He had heard a little about the Queen Mother's amnesia.
"So, you're unrequited?" When Liu Han heard this, he didn't feel that his heart was very good, and the sad and angry expression on his face was immediately replaced by a thief's smile.
Soon, he found something wrong: "Didn't she like to pester you before?" Since then, the two of you have been replaced, and you have become Lang Yi's concubine ruthless? ”
"When? Probably since her serious illness! Li Yi silently added in his heart, when the hundred gardens first met.
"That's right," Ryu Han said with a gossipy look on his face, "where do you fancy her?" In terms of appearance and talent, she is not top-notch. Although after the Hundred Flowers Meeting, her reputation for intelligence has soared, but it must be just a coincidence, deceiving people who don't know her. They all said that after the Queen Mother lost her memory, her temperament changed greatly, and no matter how much a person changes, can she really be reborn and become a person? ! ”
"What if it really could?" Li Yi smiled bitterly.
"You mean, the Queen Mother was dropped?" Liu Han exclaimed.
A hint of complexity flashed on Li Yi's face: "Ah Han, have you heard of Empress Yi?" ”
Liu Han said speechlessly: "With both ability and political integrity, countless inventions, the only wife of the famous Emperor Hengdi of Hongyan, Empress Yi, who doesn't know!" What does this have to do with today's Queen Mother? ”
Li Yi said seriously: "There is a record in the royal family scroll, Empress Yi said that she came from another world, and I suspect that she is also from that world!" ”
Liu Han felt that his brain was a little insufficient: "Ah Yi, did you hit your head when you fell off the cliff?" Believe even such unthinkable things! ”
Li Yi guessed that no one would believe it, and he didn't explain.
Liu Han didn't think much about it, his mind was occupied by another thing, and he suddenly realized: "So, you treat Xiaoyang differently, it's also because of her?" ”
Li Yi gave him a blank look: "Miss Guo Er, but there is news?" ”
Liu Han shook his head, and his face instantly became decadent.
Outside the door, there was a loud voice from the servant of Liufu: "Young Master, Mrs. Wen is not very comfortable in her stomach, Mrs. told you to go back to the house!" ”
Li Yi's fall off the cliff was concealed, and Mrs. Liu did not know about it.
Liu Han glanced out of the door, got up and sighed distressedly, "Don't mention her in the future." Alas, don't talk about it, go home and continue to suffer! ”
Li Yi looked at his back as he left, and had mixed feelings for a while.
On the other hand, Xiaoguo lay in the comfortable and soft quilt that he had not seen for a long time, and slept until it was dark before waking up.
When I opened my eyes, the familiar curtain came into view.
She rolled her eyes, looked around, and jumped up like a ghost: "What's going on?" Am I not supposed to be in the valley? ”
Bi Tao heard her voice and hurriedly walked into the bedroom: "Niangniang, you are awake." ”
Xiaoguo saw the savior, and grabbed her arm: "Bi Tao, am I dreaming?" Why did you suddenly return to the palace? ”
The master's heart for Niangniang, Bi Tao saw it in her eyes, she decided to help the master, so she chuckled: "Niangniang This is not a dream, King Ding sent someone to rescue you from the bottom!" ”
Unfortunately, it seems to have backfired.
Xiaoguo recalled the happy time spent in the valley with Xiaoyu, and secretly grinded his teeth: This king is really nosy! The old lady hasn't had enough of surviving in the wild!
"Has Xiaoyu also returned to the palace?" Xiaoguo didn't mention the king at all.
Bi Tao sighed in her heart, it seems that Niangniang's identity as the master and king is obviously prejudiced and hostile!
"He, he, should also come back together," Bi Tao stammered, the master had not yet revealed the other identity to stay, "Niangniang, the slave maid will go and inquire about his situation." ”
She said as she walked outside.
Xiaoguo hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said with a smile: "I'll go again tomorrow, good Bitao, can you cook me a bowl of green vegetable noodles first?" ”
Bi Tao was relieved: "Yes! ”
The news of Xiaoguo's awakening was quickly passed back by the palace people who stayed here.
Xiaobai and Empress Dowager De rushed towards Cining Palace one after another.
Xiaoguo was sucking noodles and praised: "Bi Tao, your skills have improved a lot!" ”
I only heard Xiaobai's voice from the courtyard.
"The Queen Mother! Are you awake? ”
Before Xiaoguo got up, a small round shadow appeared beside him.
Seeing that Xiaoguo was eating noodles, he swallowed his saliva involuntarily.
"Xiaobai is here? Let the queen mother take a look, but has she grown tall and strong! Xiaoguo put down his chopsticks and took Xiaobai in his arms.
"The queen mother went to her grandfather's house, and she had a lot of fun all the way? But I had a lot of fun, so I fell asleep tired when I returned to the palace? Xiaobai looked up and asked curiously.
Grandpa's house?
Bi Tao hurriedly glanced at Xiaoguo, and explained on the side: "In the days when Niangniang was away, the emperor came to inquire several times a day, and the slave had to tell the emperor about your return to the Zhangfu Province. ”
"So that's the case," Xiaoguo gave Bi Tao an appreciative look, and she turned to Xiaobai and said, "The queen mother sat in the carriage all the way, which was really boring. Next time I have the opportunity, the queen mother and Xiaobai will travel all over the world together, let's ride a high-headed horse, while enjoying the beautiful scenery, while eating all kinds of food, okay? ”
Putting down heavy schoolwork, riding a horse and playing carefree, and eating delicious food are all things that Xiaobai dreams of.
His eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly: "Okay, it's a word, let's pull Gougo!" ”
Xiaoguo hooked his little fat finger: "Hang yourself with a hook, you can't change for a hundred years!" ”
She suddenly felt a little distressed about Xiaobai, he was just a little child, but in order to sit in the supreme position of the world's eyes, he sacrificed the carefree time of his childhood, and lost his freedom and happiness at the hands of ordinary people!
Just when Xiaoguo wanted to say something, but didn't know how to speak.
The little eunuch who reported shouted sharply: "The Empress Dowager has arrived!" ”
Xiaoguo led Xiaobai and hurriedly went out of the palace to pick up the driver.
The two sides entered the temple hand in hand.
Empress Dowager De was also told that Xiaoguo had returned to her parents' house to save her relatives.
Xiaoguo was very touched by her and Xiaobai's heartfelt concern and concern.
That night, the three of them played and fought the landlord, talking and laughing, and the palace people looked at the Cining Palace, which had regained its vitality, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
The days when the Queen Mother was absent were too boring.
It wasn't until the dead of night that Empress Dowager De and Xiaobai got up to say goodbye and went back to their palaces to rest.
