Chapter Forty-Seven: Life and Death in My Hands
Zhao Guangyi's eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy.
Looking at his fleeting eyes, he should have remembered the previous incident, at that time, if it wasn't for Shi Wei's pounce at the critical moment, his arrow would have hit Mrs. Blossom's heart long ago.
And Zhao Kuangyin's face showed an expression of surprise.
Mrs. Hua Rui was shot in the chest, and the two brothers of the Zhao family obviously thought that she was hopeless, how could they not be shocked when they heard Shi Wei's words.
It's just a joy and a worry, but the thoughts are different.
Shi Wei wiped the blood stains on his face with his sleeve and said, "Although His Royal Highness the King of Jin's arrow was ruthless enough, it missed by three points and did not hit Madame's heart, so Madame can still be saved." ”
Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed when he heard this, and exclaimed excitedly: "Shi Aiqing, Concubine Ai's surname is in your hands, if you can save her, I will have a heavy reward." ”
Shi Wei said without raising his head: "This is the duty of the minister, and the minister will do his best, but it is not very convenient here, and the minister is afraid that it will not be good to save the mother." ”
Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered, ordered the left and right to take the place where Mrs. Hua Rui was lying as the center of the circle, set up camp on the spot, and bring all the leather mattresses and other things brought by the accompanying horse team, and ordered people to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and withdraw more medicinal materials and camping purposes to the hunting grounds.
Shi Wei then commanded a group of palace maids to carefully carry Mrs. Hua Rui onto the leather couch.
Then he said to Zhao Kuangyin: "Your Majesty, the minister needs to be quiet when he rescues, and I implore Your Majesty to retreat outside the tent and wait." ”
At this time, even if Shi Wei asked Zhao Kuangyin to bring him tea and pour water, the Great Song Emperor did not dare not agree, so although he was thinking of Mrs. Hua Rui, he had to retreat according to his words.
Zhao Kuangyin and the ministers all retreated outside the tent, Zhao Guangyi walked a little slower, but before leaving, he said to Shi Wei: "Shi Fengyu, whether Mrs. Hua Rui lives or dies, it all depends on you, don't let Your Majesty down." ”
The words "life or death", Zhao Guangyi deliberately aggravated his tone.
The meaning of Zhao Guangyi's words, how could Shi Wei not hear it.
This dignified King of Jin, instead of worrying about his sister-in-law's surname, is secretly warning Shi Wei to let him know the current affairs, but to "disappoint" the Son of Heaven.
Shi Wei bowed his hand slightly, and only said lightly: "Your Highness, rest assured, although the lower official is not talented, he still has some medical virtue, and the lower official will do his best." ”
Shi Wei's tone was indifferent, and he vaguely rejected Zhao Guangyi's hinted threat.
Zhao Guangyi frowned, in order not to stay too long and arouse the suspicion of others, he snorted coldly, and turned around and left the tent with a touch of gloom at the corner of his mouth.
In the big tent, only Shi Wei and Mrs. Hua Rui, who was in a state of coma, remained.
Shi Wei took a deep breath, and then began the most dangerous process of pulling arrows for Mrs. Hua Rui.
Although Shi Wei studied Chinese medicine, he was open-minded and focused on traditional Chinese medicine, but he did not resist Western medicine.
Therefore, Shi Wei is not only proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, but also has some learning of Western medicine, especially for this surgical way, although it is not excellent, but he has also accumulated a lot of experience.
Although the arrow from Madame Blossom's wound did not hit the heart, because it was close to the heart, the consequences of a slight carelessness would still be unimaginable.
Shi Wei had to muster up his spirit, and it took half an hour to carefully pull out the arrow with the simple medical equipment of this era.
If Madame Blossom was lucky, the arrow was not shot in the heart, but luckily not even the main blood vessels were struck.
Therefore, the injury may seem serious, but the whole treatment process is thrilling.
Removing the arrow is the most critical part, followed by cleaning the wound, suturing the wound, and applying gold medicine.
Two hours later, Shi Wei had just completed this "operation", and when Shi Wei gently covered the half-red body of Mrs. Hua Rui, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
At this time, he realized that he was already sweating.
Just as he was about to stand up, about to go out of the tent to report his safety to the Son of Heaven, he suddenly heard Madame Blossom moan.
Looking back, she had woken up.
Seeing this, Shi Wei hurriedly sat down again and asked softly, "Madam, madam, can you hear Weichen talking?" ”
Madame Blossom awoke from her stupor, and for a moment her mind was not clear, but she just held her hand in the air, as if to grasp something.
Shi Wei knows that patients in this situation need a sense of security the most.
Thinking of this, he didn't care about any courtesy, and held her slender hand tightly in the palm of his hand.
It seemed to be the warmth of Shi Wei's palm, and Mrs. Hua Rui's slightly flustered mood gradually calmed down, and after a moment of moaning, she slowly opened her eyes.
In this case, it can be regarded as out of danger.
Shi Wei's tired face couldn't help but smile a little gratifying.
"It's great that Madame has woken up, Weichen will go and inform Your Majesty."
Shi Wei was about to get up, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Hua Rui grabbed his hand tightly and refused to let go.
At this time, Shi Wei couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
The incident after Xiao Zhou of the Southern Tang Kingdom had made him wary, and he naturally did not want to repeat the mistakes of the past.
He gently wanted to wrench Mrs. Huarui's hand, and at the same time comforted: "Madam, your injury is no longer serious, you just need to recuperate quietly, it won't take long to heal, let Weichen go and report the good news to Your Majesty." ”
Mrs. Hua Rui still refused to let go, but her languishing eyes only looked at him, and asked weakly: "Shi Fengyu, did you save me?" ”
Shi Wei was a little helpless, afraid that he would push too hard and involve her wounds, so he had to let her hold his hand.
Hearing her ask like this, Shi Wei smiled faintly and said, "It's Mrs. Hongfu Qitian, and Weichen has just done a little bit of his duty." ”
"Shi Hong Fu Qitian, I know how much I am injured, Shi Fengyu, your life-saving grace, Hua Rui remembers it in my heart." As she spoke, her eyes flashed with gratitude.
Shi Wei didn't know what to say, so he only smiled for a while.
Madame Hua Rui suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "I only remember the moment before I passed out, it seemed that I was hit by an arrow, but I don't know who shot me." ”
Shi Wei paused for a moment, and said silently: "Don't hide it from Madame, the arrow that Madame received was deliberately done by King Jin. ”
"King Jin!"
Madame Blossom screamed in shock, and the flower that had calmed down had already appeared frightened again.
She panicked for a moment, and wondered, "King Jin, why did he do this to me?" ”
Shi Wei then truthfully told what the king of Jin had said about the charges of "confusing the king" that had been imposed on her.
Everyone knows these things, and Mrs. Hua Rui will know about them sooner or later, so Shi Wei has nothing to hide.
As Mrs. Hua Rui listened, her expression gradually became gloomy, and her eyes flashed with tears, revealing a regretful grievance.
"What I have done is just to serve the saint wholeheartedly, how can I ever confuse the monarch, how can the king of Jin look at me like this." Madame Blossom was aggrieved, and tears rolled down her cheeks like beads with broken threads.
Seeing her so pitiful, Shi Wei couldn't help but feel pity.
He comforted: "As the so-called sin of wanting to add, there is no excuse for it, why should Mrs. remember it again, so as to save her sadness and cry her body." ”
Seeing a beautiful woman in the country, such pear blossoms with rain, Shi Wei was a little distracted for a while, so he picked up the silk handkerchief and wanted to reach out to wipe her tears.
When Shi Wei's fingertips touched her pale, but smooth baby-like face, he suddenly woke up again.
He hurriedly withdrew his hand and said apologetically: "Weichen was rude for a while, and I hope that Mrs. will forgive me." ”
Madame Blossom was stunned for a moment, and a hint of blush could not help but pass over her face, but looking at his nervous appearance, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"It's not a forbidden palace here, where do you get a lot of rules." Madame Blossom smiled and took the handkerchief from his hand and wiped the tears from her face.
In order to treat her injuries, Shi Wei had to remove her blouse, and Madame Hua Rui seemed to have forgotten that she was naked.
She stretched out her arm to wipe her tears like this, and the delicate lotus-like arm was exposed to the air.
Shi Wei didn't dare to look more, and hurriedly turned his head to the side, thinking about going out quickly to report the good news to Zhao Kuangyin, so as not to stay for a moment and be rude.
When he was about to leave, another thought flashed through his mind.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Weifang asked, "Madam, forgive Weichen for taking the liberty of asking, has Madame ever said something to His Majesty recently that offended King Jin?" ”
Madame Blossom frowned in thought.
After a while, she shook her head and said: "King Jin is His Majesty's younger brother, and he is an important minister, and I have no grudges with him, so why bother to speak ill of him." ”
Shi Wei thought for a while, and then asked further: "Has that lady said anything about other ministers, such as the second prince?" ”
After mentioning this, Madame Hua Rui's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "This has happened, last month, I persuaded His Majesty to establish Dezhao as the crown prince. ”
And so it was.
Shi Wei now finally knew why Zhao Guangyi wanted to kill Madame Hua Rui.
It turned out that it was because Mrs. Hua Rui persuaded Zhao Kuangyin to make Dezhao the prince.
Thinking that Zhao Guangyi had coveted the throne for a long time, Mrs. Hua Rui did this, wouldn't she openly oppose him.
Moreover, with Zhao Kuangyin's love for Mrs. Hua Rui, her words have considerable weight, no wonder Zhao Guangyi is so anxious that he does not hesitate to get rid of her by such means.
"Then Wei Chen would like to ask again, when Madame said this to His Majesty, were any ministers present?" Shi Wei asked again.
Madame Hua Rui shook her head again: "How could I talk about such a thing in front of the minister, there were only a few palace people present at that time. ”
Hearing this, Shi Wei couldn't help but be stunned.
Thinking about the forbidden words of the palace, Zhao Guangyi, a courtier, was able to inquire about it, and the source of the news was naturally the close attendants around the Son of Heaven.
This means that the people around the Son of Heaven have already been bought by Zhao Guangyi.
This person's wide influence and arrogance really made Shi Wei feel a chill on his back.
