Chapter Seventy-One: Snow Hair
Dongfang Rin was shocked, and immediately reached out to probe Lin Xuerou's breath. The faint smell was like a hint of sandalwood, as if it was about to be blown away by the wind. Dongfang Rin quickly picked up Lin Xuerou and hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"Haha???????? I didn't expect that the five princes, who are known as cold-hearted, would also have the worries of ordinary people?" The arrogant voice continued to come clearly, and it also stopped Dongfang Rin's pace. Dongfang Rin secretly frowned at herself, blaming herself for being defenseless for a while! If, at this time, the masked man wanted to attack him, then how could he stop it?!
Dongfang Rin turned to look at the masked man, "Heh, why don't you let you see it?" he curled the corners of his mouth and sneered.
"Of course it doesn't hurt for me to see it! But—how happy she would be if the Fifth Imperial Concubine saw it. It's a pity that she didn't have a chance to watch it at this time. ”
Dongfang Rin glanced at Lin Xuerou, who was still sleeping deeply in her arms, and suppressed her worries and anxieties, but the tone of the words couldn't help but be a little impatient: "Say! What did you do to her!"
"Why are the five princes so angry, I'm not your minion!" the masked man heard Dongfang Rin's almost commanding tone, and his attitude also cooled, and he paced forward a few steps, "It's just that I want the five imperial concubines to have a good rest." ”
"Huh~~ Why bother to speak, even if you are a human being, you may as well say it directly. Dongfang Rin was not in the mood to go around with the masked man, and his speech became sharper.
"You!?????? Okay, haha?????? Then I'll tell you that your beloved woman has been poisoned at the moment, and I have the antidote. But—I think since the Fifth Prince loves her so much, a little military power is certainly nothing in your eyes. After 5 days, we exchange here, otherwise - hehe?????? I'm afraid you and the woman you love will be separated from each other. ”
Dongfang Rin didn't say anything, just stared coldly at the smug masked man, and the cold air emanating from his whole body was terrifying. His eyebrows never furrowed. After a long time, he hugged Lin Xuerou and left, leaving no promises.
On this night, the Five Emperors' Mansion was brightly lit all night, and the imperial doctors in the palace kept coming in and out.
"Get out of here!!" A roar resounded through the sky, swearing that the night would not be quiet. I saw one by one the imperial doctors bending over and hurriedly escaping from the room.
Dongfang Rin sat weakly on the chair, helplessly covering his frustrated face with his hand. The imperial doctors all said that they couldn't cure Lin Xuerou, and they couldn't even tell what kind of poison it was! He looked up at Lin Xuerou who was lying quietly on the bed, she was still sleeping so peacefully.
Military Power ???????? His mind suddenly came up with what the masked man said today, as long as he handed over the military power, Xue Rou would be saved! But--how should the military power be handed over? He needs power, the power that is feared, if he loses this 20% of the military power, how should he stand up to his authority! The memories of his childhood kept hitting his heart again and again, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
"The Five Princes. An old call interrupted his contemplation, and Dongfang Rin immediately put away his painful expression and looked at Imperial Doctor Chen, who still hadn't left, expressionlessly.
"The old minister thinks that the five imperial concubines are the 'snow hair' specially made by the Snow Country. There was no sign of the poison at first, and the poisoner was only in a deep sleep. But gradually, the color of the poisoned person's hair will turn white, and the skin will begin to wrinkle and age, and within 7 days until death. The poison is primed by the hair of the poisoner. ”
Dongfang Rin stood up suddenly, "What about the antidote?"
"This ???????? The old minister didn't know, but the five princes could send someone to the snow country to seek an antidote. Imperial Doctor Chen said.
"Okay, I'll send someone!" his heart was filled with a glimmer of joy, and he hastened to order without thinking about anything.
"Master, no!!" the night suddenly stopped with a voice. "The Snow Country is far away from the Plantagenet Country, even if you keep changing horses and galloping, it will take 10 days????????! He didn't dare to say any more, for fear of igniting the fear in Dongfang Rin's heart.
The pace stopped, and the body froze.
"Ah——!!h He was anxious, helpless, and heartbroken???????? He had nowhere to vent his various emotional torments, but to relieve some pain. "Get out!!!" he cried out solemnly, not wanting to ruin the cold image he had built up for years.
The night sighed and left, and the others left one after another. Leaving this silence suffocating in the room, the room fell into dead silence again.
Dongfang Rin took some bumpy steps and came to Lin Xuerou's side with difficulty. He took Lin Xuerou's cold hand, placed it on his lips, and gave him a gentle kiss.
"Will you forgive me?????????" He whispered, begging in pain. This sentence also swore his decision.
He lay down beside Lin Xuerou in his clothes, buried his head in Lin Xuerou's hair, held hands with her, and just like that, he fell asleep quietly as if nothing had happened??????????
However, a tear quickly slipped down the corner of Lin Xuerou's eyes, leaving traces that could no longer be erased.
2 days later
In the past few days when Lin Xuerou was asleep, Dongfang Rin was always by her side, chatting with her, and helping her wipe her body????????
"Babble~~" The door was gently pushed open, and Ling'er walked into the house with a basin of water. As usual, Ling'er wiped Lin Xuerou's body every morning, because Dongfang Rin had to go to the morning court.
"Fifth Imperial Princess, Ling'er is here to help you pull it again!Ah~~~" Ling'er, who was smiling, walked into the house and looked at Lin Xuerou on the bed and suddenly fell down the water in her hand in shock, and screamed.
The basin fell heavily to the ground, splashing and wetting the lichen skirt, but it couldn't get her attention. Ling'er covered her mouth tremblingly, and slowly approached Lin Xuerou step by step.
She couldn't believe that in two days, the young lady's originally black hair had turned all white!! She trembled, hurriedly ran out of the house, and hurriedly told the night about it, but the night only showed a sad look and was not much shocked, and even the five princes who came back later only clenched their fists and walked to see the five princesses. Ling'er didn't understand why they weren't shocked.
