Chapter 400: Vomiting Blood and Dying (1000 words)
Gu Jinli and Qi Hao arrived at Yunguo when it was close to the early morning of the next day.
Since at this point in time, the old emperor of Yunguo was still asleep, so they lived in a palace specially for foreign VIPs.
After two days of tossing, everyone was tired.
Although Gu Jinli wanted to fall down on the bed and sleep, her body was really dirty and uncomfortable, but she couldn't take a bath because of the wound, so she asked Ah Qiao to prepare hot water and wiped her body with a towel.
The body was comfortable and clean, so he changed into well-fitting clothes and slept on the same bed with Ah Qiao.
As for Qi Hao, Gu Jinli checked his pulse after arriving at the palace, his breathing was stable, and his body temperature was normal.
Except for excessive blood loss and the toxins in his body that have not been resolved, his condition will be fine for any longer than tonight.
Therefore, Gu Jinli was not in a hurry to detoxify Qi Hao immediately.
Du Jiang was so anxious that Gu Jinli couldn't wait for Gu Jinli to hurry up and dispense medicine and detoxify Qi Hao now, but Gu Jinli had worked hard all the way, and she had a grudge against Qi Hao, it was not easy for her to do this step.
Forced to endure the urgency, after he finished grooming, he also helped Qi Hao scrub it.
While dozing off, he stood by the bedside.
And Master Kong, who came back on horseback, before he could run the horse, his fat body fell to the ground.
The guards had no choice but to work together to hump him up again.
But the horse didn't run long, and because of Master Kong's weight, he couldn't support him and fell down.
This has been repeated many times, and at this point, Master Kong has only moved less than twenty miles in nearly a day.
However, Master Kong's task is to greet the VIPs, and since the VIPs have arrived early, it doesn't matter if he is later.
After all, he's not much of a protagonist.
As soon as she woke up naturally, when she opened her eyes, Gu Jinli saw Ah Qiao standing next to the bed.
Ah Qiao had already made water, but he didn't dare to disturb Gu Jinli, so he had been waiting by the side.
"Master, are you awake?" While handing the wet handkerchief forward, Ah Qiao looked at her face, "What do you want to eat?" The slave and maid commanded that it should be prepared for you. ”
After Gu Jinli wiped her face, she touched her shriveled stomach and said with a light smile: "I'm a little hungry, don't bother too much, just let someone prepare some porridge for me." ”
Ah Qiao listened to Gu Jinli's nasal voice heavier than yesterday, and said worriedly: "Master, are you out of breath?" ”
"Otherwise, the slave will make you another bowl of ginger soup."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jinli sneezed in time.
This one sneeze tore at her wound.
"Hmm......" she snorted, and she stiffened and slowly leaned back on the soft pillow behind her.
Ah Qiao put the quilt on Gu Jinli's body, and went out with the basin.
As soon as he went out, Ah Qiao saw Du Jiang with an anxious face at the bottom of the steps: "Ah Qiao, how is Concubine Gu?" Can I go and detoxify the prince now? ”
It was dark and bright, so Du Jiang waited outside.
Seeing that Du Jiang was so anxious, Ah Qiao said, "Guard Du, the master has just woken up, you wait a while." ”
"When the master eats something, he will naturally go to see the prince."
After a pause, she glanced at the door again, lowered her voice and said, "Guard Du, I know you are worried about the prince, but the master also lost too much blood yesterday and didn't eat, how can he have the strength to detoxify the prince?" ”
After hearing this, Du Jiang thought that he really didn't take care of Gu Jinli's injury, so he said embarrassedly: "Okay, then you can go and prepare food for Concubine Gu." ”
With that, he walked to the side corridor.
It's not the same thing to always stay at someone's door.
Soon, Ah Qiao came back with the bird's nest angelica porridge that replenished blood and qi.
Gu Jinli reluctantly ate a bowl, and when she learned that Du Jiang had been waiting with her head tilted all morning, she instructed Ah Qiao to dress herself and comb her hair, and went to Qi Hao's room.
Because it was settled late last night, no one would wonder why Gu Jinli, as Qi Hao's favorite pet, would live in the same room with a maid.
Of course, in this unfamiliar Yunguo Palace, Du Jiang didn't worry about letting others take care of Qi Hao.
What remained in Qi Hao's room were two clever and loyal guards.
When they saw Gu Jinli coming, they hurriedly got out of the way.
Gu Jinli sat down, stretched out her hand to probe Qi Hao's pulse, and rechecked his pulse.
After a while, she said in a deep voice: "Du Jiang, I said, you remember." ”
"Yes!" Du Jiang knew that Gu Jinli was about to prescribe medicine, so he took three steps and two steps, jumped to the side of the table, picked up the brush, and waited for Gu Jinli to speak.
"Mica, Immortal Grass, Dogwood, Ligustrum, Acacia Bark, Snake Tongue Grass, Half Spring Lotus, Northern Bean Root......" Gu Jinli said the names of more than a dozen medicinal herbs at a moderate pace while pondering.
Du Jiang listened carefully, and he remembered it accurately and quickly.
After Gu Jinli finished speaking, Du Jiang ran out quickly.
In the blink of an eye, his figure was gone.
Her throat was a little itchy, Gu Jinli coughed twice, and said to Ah Qiao, "Find me a set of silver needles." ”
The medicine box she was carrying had already been destroyed by the Assassins along with the carriage, so she had to rely on everything in the Cloud Palace.
Ah Qiao nodded, turned around and ordered someone to find the silver needle.
The guards also left the room and stood at the door, leaving only Gu Jinli and Qi Hao.
It's just a night's work, Qi Hao's face turned white, and it was really more dazzling than the color of the wall.
"Shui ......" her white and chapped lips moved, and Qi Hao's mouth made a muffled sound.
Gu Jinli put her ear a few closer to hear what he was saying.
got up, Gu Jinli poured a cup of tea for Qi Hao, helped him up, and fed him.
Qi Hao swallowed unconsciously, and half of the cup of water was spilled.
In the past two years, Gu Jinli seems to have never taken care of anyone.
She put the cup down and wiped the water stains on Qi Hao's chest with a handkerchief, her movements a little stiff.
If this is Ah Qiao or Aiyue, Hexiang, she may still have a little tenderness in her heart.
But in the face of Qi Hao, a nasty ghost, she can endure it so far, it is really beyond the limit.
"Master." At this time, Ah Qiao came back.
Behind her, there were two other imperial doctors.
The news of Qi Hao and Gu Jinli's assassination on the road had already been heard by the old emperor of Yunguo early this morning.
Therefore, he sent a physician over.
If the person who was assassinated was the old emperor of the Qi Kingdom, then the old emperor of the Yun Kingdom would definitely come to visit him in person.
If it was Qi Hao, he would not let the old emperor of Yunguo come forward.
Therefore, it is a bit of a gesture to let the imperial doctor come.
The most important thing is that the old emperor of Yunguo has recently become a new little beauty, and he is also like the old emperor of Qiguo, who has been fascinated by women all day long, and he can't think about it, so he is still lying in bed now.
The two imperial doctors saluted Gu Jinli, and then saw Gu Jinli take out the silver needle from the medicine box by herself, so they glanced at each other, and the two tacitly stood aside without speaking.
They watched Gu Jinli skillfully prick needles into the various big points on Qi Hao's body, and couldn't help but dispel the doubts in their hearts.
After Gu Jinli finished pricking the needle, she said to the imperial doctor who had been silent: "Two adults, Lord Ning is drunk with 'Linghua', and I have already sent someone to arrest the medicine." ”
"After giving Ning Wang Ye the medicine in a while, I will ask the two of you to guard by the side."
"If there is something wrong, stick a needle at the prince's Shenmen acupoint, Hegu acupoint, and Taichong acupoint."
Gu Jinli said, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.
Although they didn't understand why Gu Jinli asked them to get needles, the two imperial doctors still said respectfully: "Yes." ”
Ah Qiao saw that Gu Jinli's cough was worse than just now, and hurriedly said, "Master, the slave will help you go back to rest." ”
Since there is a doctor here, and the prescription has been prescribed, Gu Jinli's task is complete.
Looking at her red nose, she must be really uncomfortable.
Gu Jinli was a little dizzy, next to Ah Qiao's hand, sucked her breathless nose, and left the room.
As soon as she got down the stairs and didn't go far, she met Du Jiang, who was coming towards her, holding a steaming medicine bowl.
"Gu ...... Lin Gongzi, where are you going? Du Jiang didn't know that Gu Jinli was uncomfortable, so he asked puzzledly.
Gu Jinli's eyelids also began to heavily, she didn't bother to open her mouth, and said concisely: "Go back." ”
Ah Qiao said: "The imperial doctor is inside, and the Du guards can rest assured." ”
With that, the master and servant went to their rooms.
Not long after Du Jiang gave the medicine to Qi Hao, Qi Hao's face seemed to be dyed with a strange layer of rouge, and it was abnormally red.
Not only that, but he also spat out black blood in a big gulp, which frightened Du Jiang.
The two imperial doctors finally understood the reason why Gu Jinli had left them here just now.
"Quick, hurry up and prick the prince with a needle!" A fat doctor reacted quickly, and directly picked up the silver needle and directly pierced Qi Hao.
The silver needles that Gu Jinli had pierced Qi Hao's body before had not been pulled out, but now there were three more needles, and he was almost pierced into a hedgehog all over his body, not to mention how distressing it was in Du Jiang's eyes.
Miraculously, the three needles were pricked, and Qi Hao vomited blood and really vomited lightly.
After spitting out the last bite, the color of the blood turned bright red.
The thin imperial physician took Qi Hao's pulse, and the fat imperial physician pulled out the silver needles on Qi Hao's body one by one.
Du Jiang frowned, and asked nervously, "Two imperial doctors, how is my lord?" ”
The thin imperial doctor withdrew his hand and said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, the prince just now told us to give the prince a needle before leaving, otherwise the prince would vomit blood and die." ”
When Du Jiang heard this, he exclaimed: "Vomiting blood and dying? ”
Isn't the prescription prescribed by Gu Jinli detoxifying? Du Jiang couldn't believe that there was something wrong with this prescription.
The fat doctor thought for a while and analyzed: "If you guess correctly, the prescription prescribed by the son is to fight poison with poison." ”
"There is residual poison in Lord Ning's internal organs, so it's good to cough up the poisonous blood."
"However, after spitting out poisonous blood, if it is not stopped in time, then it will continue to vomit blood."
After listening to this, Du Jiang finally put his mind at ease.
He watched Qi Hao's face gradually return to normal, his eyes fell on the pool of black blood, and he asked, "The prince has not eaten a drop of water since yesterday, dare to ask how long it will take for the imperial doctor to feed the prince?" ”
The thin imperial doctor said: "Lord Ning's internal organs have been damaged, and it is not suitable for eating and drinking for the time being, so it is better to feed it with tonic medicine first." ”
The fat imperial doctor also agreed: "Yes, in the current situation of the prince, you can only use decoction to replenish blood and qi first, and then use clear porridge when the prince wakes up." ”
"Okay, thank you two imperial doctors." Arching his hand to the fat and thin doctor, Du Jiang sent the two of them out of the door.
After dealing with the poisonous blood on the ground, Du Jiang sat down, soaked the handkerchief, and wiped the cold sweat on Qi Hao's forehead.
After Gu Jinli went back, she was top-heavy and planted on the bed.
Ah Qiao was worried about the injuries on her body, so she immediately reached out to support Gu Jinli's shoulder, and this time she felt a warm wetness.
Realizing that the wound on Gu Jinli's shoulder might have cracked, she hurriedly said anxiously: "Master, the slave maid will re-bandage you!" ”
With that, she quickly took off Gu Jinli's coat.
Gu Jinli's weak Ren Aqiao untied the gauze on his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: "Aqiao, I'm so sleepy, sleep for a while, don't call me for lunch." ”
With a tilt of her head, she closed her heavy eyelids and never woke up.
Ah Qiao has been by her side for so long, so she naturally understands some basic medical science.
re-medicated Gu Jinli and bandaged it layer by layer.
Thinking that Gu Jinli must have been infected with the cold, Ah Qiao hurriedly ran to boil some cold medicine soup for Gu Jinli, planning to wait for her to wake up and take it.
However, after noon, Gu Jinli showed no signs of waking up.
Ah Qiao felt uneasy, she touched Gu Jinli's forehead, only to find that Gu Jinli's body temperature was amazingly hot.
She was so frightened that she could only go and invite the two imperial doctors back again.
After the imperial doctor diagnosed, he believed that Gu Jinli's fever was not caused by a simple wind cold, but a wound on her body that was dehisced and infected.
Gu Jinli's injuries are covered by clothes and can't be seen, especially where the man looks at random.
Ah Qiao nodded and responded, and the imperial doctor prescribed another pair of medicines.
After feeding this medicine, Gu Jinli's fever subsided little by little.
By the time she had completely subsided her fever, it was already unitary time.
Sweating all over, Gu Jinli seemed to have been fished out of the water at this time, and her whole body was sticky with sweat.
Ah Qiao avoided her wounds with warm water, and scrubbed her inside and out, up and down.
Changing into a middle coat, Ah Qiao held his chin, sat on the edge of the bed with his eyes blank and waited for Gu Jinli to wake up.
Today is the birthday banquet of the Queen of Yunguo, but Qi Hao and Gu Jinli, one is poisoned and sleeping, and the other has a fever and has not woken up, so it is impossible for these two to attend the birthday banquet.
How to say that at that time, the old emperor of Yunguo invited Qi Hao to come to Yunguo as a guest in the name of the birthday banquet, so half an hour before the birthday banquet began, the old emperor still deigned to go to the palace and specially visited Qi Hao.
Seeing that Qi Hao was indeed sick, he sighed and expressed his worry and concern.
Of course, the old emperor of Qi did not forget to ask who dared to assassinate Qi Hao so boldly.
Qi Hao was closed at the time, and he would not give any response to the old emperor of Yunguo.
To this, Du Jiang's answer was that he didn't know.
At first, they really don't know.
Second, Du Jiang also saw that the old emperor of Yunguo was not asking honestly at all, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him.
The old emperor saw that Du Jiang did not leak a drop of rain, and sighed urgently, regretfully saying that it didn't matter if Gu Jinli and Qi Hao couldn't attend the banquet this time, and when the two of them got better in two days, they could only make up another welcome banquet.
Otherwise, the Cloud Kingdom would be too rude.
At the dinner, the Empress of Yunguo dressed up and received the compliments and heavy gifts from the ministers of the DPRK and China, and did not lose the excitement because of the absence of Gu Jinli and Qi Hao.
It was night, Ah Qiao didn't know how long he had waited until Gu Jinli woke up.
However, she only raised her eyelids, said "don't worry" to Ah Qiao, and fell asleep again.
Du Jiang's side has also been guarding Qi Hao.
Qi Hao woke up earlier than Gu Jinli, maybe he slept for two days, and his voice sounded hoarse: "Du Jiang." ”
Du Jiang helped Qi Hao up and handed over a cup of tea, "Lord Wang, don't worry, Concubine Gu is fine." ”
knew that Qi Hao was full of Gu Jinli in his heart, so he took the initiative to speak, so that Qi Hao could rest assured.
Qi Hao took a sip of tea, his throat was a little more comfortable, and he couldn't help but go to the ground: "Ah Gu is injured, this king will go to see her." ”
The sound of silk and bamboo outside came faintly, but he wanted to go to Gu Jinli's side to feel at ease.
"Lord Wang." Du Jiang pressed Qi Hao and persuaded: "Your injury is in the chest, and you will almost die." ”
"Concubine Gu, she finally rescued you, you can't live up to her wishes."
Qi Hao listened to it and got out of bed.
He recalled that he was in front of Gu Jinli and blocked the sword that cut her head and face.
Before he lost consciousness, he seemed to see the panic and confusion in Gu Jinli's eyes.
Seeing that Qi Hao was silent, Du Jiang helped him to the bed, and while covering him with the quilt, he whispered what Qi Hao wanted to hear: "Lord Wang, Concubine Gu doesn't care about her own injuries, and insists on giving you detoxification first." ”
"You have chills on your body, so Concubine Gu gave you her own clothes."
"Ah Gu she ......" Du Jiang's words made Qi Hao's mood complicated and heavy, and after a while, he said to himself: "She...... Is it to forgive the king? ”
Du Jiang didn't know whether Qi Hao was asking himself or him.
Opening his mouth, Du Jiang decided that it was better to remain silent.
After all, looking at Gu Jinli's attitude towards Qi Hao this morning, she was cold and cold, as if she was not as nervous and concerned as yesterday.
Du Jiang knew that if he told Qi Hao that Gu Jinli had forgiven him, Qi Hao would definitely be very happy.
However, Du Jiang didn't dare to guess Gu Jinli's mind casually.
What's more, Gu Jinli's thoughts, Du Jiang can't guess it.
If Du Jiang was wrong, it would be tantamount to giving Qi Hao hope and breaking his heart.
"Lord Wang, are you hungry? Go down and tell the kitchen to make you something to eat. Du Jiang broke the silence, and suddenly thought of the words of the imperial doctor, and said: "However, the imperial doctor said that you can only drink some clear porridge when you wake up." ”
Seeing that Du Jiang was about to go out, Qi Hao shouted to him: "Du Jiang, no need." ”
After a pause, his tone was cold, and he said slowly: "What do you think of the people who did it to us this time?" ”
Du Jiang recalled the situation last night, and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, judging from their moves, they are not from our country. ”
Qi Hao nodded, "Yunguo." ”
"Lord Wang, could it be the Emperor of Yunguo, he ......" Du Jiang's eyes widened and clenched his fists.
Qi Hao pondered for a moment and shook his head: "It's true that it's someone from Yun Kingdom, but it's not necessarily the old emperor of Yun Kingdom." ”
"Perhaps, it is someone else who wants the life of this king."
"The subordinates know what the prince means, so let's go and check." Du Jiang gave up his hand and pushed it out.
Qi Hao coughed twice, and his chest hurt again.
He gently unbuttoned his clothes, looked at the thick gauze bandaged in his heart, and then felt that it was really as Du Jiang said, if he deviated one more point, he would lose his life.
Without his life, he will no longer be able to protect Gu Jinli in the future.
But if he really died this time, then he also died for Gu Jinli.
She'll remember him for the rest of her life, right?
After all, he was the one who made her both love and hate......
Closing his eyes, he imagined what Du Jiang said, Gu Jinli detoxified him, and gave him his clothes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
She will worry about him, which means that he still has a certain amount of weight in her heart.
He wasn't afraid to wait, and he wasn't afraid that she would hate him.
As long as he has a breath, he will continue to warm her heart.
At the same time, the news of the assassination of Qi Hao and Gu Jinli also spread back to Qi Guo.
Qi Hao is the heir to the throne appointed by the old emperor, if he has any accidents, the old emperor will definitely follow Qi Hao.
Fortunately, Qi Hao is fine.
However, this still made the old emperor very angry, so that he was not in the mood to be happy with Concubine Mei tonight.
In the imperial study, he said with an annoyed face: "Xiao Jia, have you found someone to find out about this matter?" ”
Gonggong Jia secretly glanced at the old emperor's expression, and whispered: "Back to the emperor, the old slave has already sent someone to investigate, and I ask the emperor to be calm." ”
"Hmph, it's bold to dare someone to ambush on the road!" The old emperor slapped the table with his big hand, and said sharply: "Go and check, after finding out, I will definitely not spare him!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Father-in-law Jia answered and turned to leave.
At this time, in the Mingyang Palace, the eighth prince did not sleep.
The light in his room was still on, and the man was standing at the window, frowning.
Hearing the footsteps of Xiao Xiangzi coming in from outside, he quickly turned around and asked, "How is it?" But got the news? ”
Xiao Xiangzi hurriedly said: "Eighth Prince, our people have already found out the news, Prince Ning and Lin Gongzi have arrived in Yunguo safe and sound this morning, don't worry." ”
After hearing this, the eighth prince finally calmed down a little bit.
Looking straight at Xiao Xiangzi, he asked again, "Who did it this time?" ”
Xiao Xiangzi shook his head, "The slave didn't find out." ”
The Eighth Prince's face sank, and he said in a loud voice: "Go and check." ”
"Yes." Xiao Xiangzi saw that the eighth prince was displeased, and ran out of the house.
The banquet of the queen of Yunguo, singing and dancing, whether everyone is eating, drinking, or having fun, in short, it is very enjoyable.
The relationship between the old emperor and the empress is similar to that of the emperor and queen couple of the Qi Kingdom.
However, there is one difference that the old emperor of Yunguo is different from the old emperor of Qiguo, that is, he will give face to the queen of Yunguo before and after others, so that she can enjoy the unlimited power of the lord of the harem.
Of course, the Empress of Yunguo is also two different women from the Empress of Qiguo.
Empress Qiguo had true love for the old emperor of Yunguo, but she died later.
If you haven't loved it, why would you kill the old emperor's heirs and other concubines?
And this queen of Yunguo, she is really a model of virtuous and virtuous virtue.
For the new favorite of the old emperor of Yunguo, she has been friendly and lenient for decades, and has never had any jealousy and harm.
She is so tolerant and knowledgeable, how can the old emperor of Yunguo not be happy?
If you want to say the only shortcoming, it is that the Empress of Yunguo gave birth to a demented prince to the Emperor of Yunguo.
As for the other children of the old emperor of Yunguo, they all died unexpectedly in the process of growing up.
Some children don't even have a chance to be born, and they are stillborn.
For these children who died young, the old emperor also suspected the empress, but every time after a thorough investigation, it had nothing to do with the empress.
Either the child was a real accident, or it was caused by the intrigue between other concubines.
Of course, the queen of Yunguo will always be a decent and dignified mother of a country in front of everyone, which is incomparable to the queen of Qiguo.
The same is true for the queen of Qiguo, but the two faces in front of her and behind her have been exposed in front of everyone.
And the Empress of Yunguo, even if she is disguised, she can disguise for so long.
After returning to the dormitory, she slowly unloaded her hairpin, and asked casually, "Which palace did the emperor go to tonight?" ”
"Back to the master, the emperor went to the Spring Palace." The little palace maid stood behind her, combing the queen's hair.
"Oh, I went to the palace of the concubine." The queen's tone was light, and then her tone changed: "In the past few days, the emperor has favored the concubine, and he can't help but snub the nobles. ”
"Jiegui is still pregnant, so I don't want to think about it."
"In this way, you will send someone to send her the new Eight Treasure Exquisite Fan obtained in this palace the day before yesterday."
The little palace maid said: "Master, you haven't liked that fan enough, how can you give it to the nobleman?" ”
"The last time I saw my eyes, I couldn't move my eyes, and this palace gave it to her, so that she could be happy." The queen had no doubt, and waved her hand to the little palace maid to signal her to go out.
In this house, all the women compete for a man.
It stands to reason that the queen is the main wife, and she should be the most intolerant of concubines.
But the queen of Yunguo is more pampered with concubines than the old emperor, and she has some strange things at hand all day, if any concubine likes it, the queen will give it away without hesitation.
Therefore, apart from the old emperor, the empress was the favorite person of the ladies in the palace.
Because the queen not only does not compete with them for the emperor, but also always shares some good things with everyone.
Who can not love such a woman?
As for the women under the queen, everyone is a thorn in each other's side.
The little palace maid had long been accustomed to the queen like this, so she sighed and went out with a box containing a fan.
After the door closed, the queen looked at herself in the mirror and sighed faintly.
The old emperor of Yunguo is almost fifty years old, and the queen is already forty-three years old after tonight's birthday banquet.
But because she has a peaceful mentality and is good at maintenance, her skin is fair, and her eyes are like silk, so beautiful and incomprehensible, she looks only in her thirties.
The old emperor of Yunguo was fortunate to visit her once a month, which made many people unhappy for the queen.
But because the queen herself didn't quarrel or quarrel, and she looked like she was indisputable, everyone honestly shut up.
Fingers gently caressed her face, and the queen's red lips opened slightly.
As her fingers slipped into her collar, her eyes began to blur.
No one knows that in the dead of night and sleepless, the queen who stays alone in the empty room also needs comfort and warmth.
