Chapter 81: Sequelae
The speculation just now seems to be gradually becoming a reality - something has happened to Ying Gong.
Maybe there is no fear for his life, but it is certainly inconvenient to show up.
Maybe seriously injured?
Li Zhen thought for a moment, then took a few steps back, wiped his face with the towel that Beichuan handed him, and then said in a low voice: "Ying Gong may have had an accident." That's why the northern base will be so passive. ”
But unlike him, Kitagawa Haruaki didn't seem to be that enthusiastic about the news. She sighed and walked away—this kind of thing was not as direct and urgent as "the men of the gate of truth were killed." So she put the meal on the table and whispered, "And what about after that?" ”
She doesn't seem to know much about this, but Li Zhen doesn't know much either, but it's slightly better than her.
He wiped his face vigorously to make himself more sober, and then said in a deep voice, "I don't know what to do. But...... It seems like a little relief. If something really happened to Ying Gong, then the current situation is an emergency. When I was in Yanjing—"
He glanced at Beichuan, but continued: "At that time, the crown prince met me and Dai Bingcheng on the road. ”
Kitagawa Qingming raised his head in surprise: "Crown Prince? By the way, speaking of the crown prince, it's strange that I haven't seen him much. ”
"Maybe the royal family has their own plans. Anyway, the emperor hasn't been very photogenic lately. Li Zhen smiled, "The prince's attitude towards Dai Bingcheng is very good—I think the relationship is good." The chief seems to be on his side as well. It can be seen that the power behind the northern base is still very large, maybe this time it was just caught off guard. In the future, it will slowly turn around. In the past, we took things a little too seriously. ”
Beichuan set up the two people's dishes and chopsticks, tied his long hair into a ponytail and prepared to eat, and asked again: "But...... After all, the emperor is just a national symbol. Still nominal. ”
Li Zhen smiled slightly: "You have fallen into habitual thinking." You think, we always say that the empire is now controlled by aristocratic families, and that the intertwined power they have accumulated over the centuries is difficult to eliminate—so who was the biggest nobleman in the country before the constitution was established? ”
Kitagawa Qingming was slightly stunned, and then gently slapped his forehead: "Yes...... O Emperor! ”
"Yes." Li Zhen went upstairs to change his clothes, and then walked downstairs, "So the influence of their family must be quite huge." ”
But Kitagawa Qingming thoughtfully tapped the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, and suddenly frowned: "So something is wrong...... You said that Dai Bingcheng and Ying Gong were both reformists. It is said that it is to weaken the power of the aristocratic family. The prince ...... And the emperor they ......"
"As long as it's still an empire. No one can move the Zhu family. No matter how they fight - weakened or maintained, the emperor is still the emperor. Even if the family is weakened, the Zhu family can still share some power. It's you, how do you choose? And it's just the crown prince. Li Zhen said as he walked, "The emperor's attitude ...... Who knows. And it was only when I told you these things that you found out. Others don't know. ”
Beichuan Qingming nodded: "Hmm...... Seems to make sense. ”
"I'm just guessing." Li Zhen smiled embarrassedly. He didn't know much about it. Less is no less. It's really a blind guess for yourself - who knows what is behind those who have become elites?
He walked around behind Kitagawa, intending to sit on the other side of the table to eat.
The speculation in his heart just now was confirmed, but now Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief - it seems that Ying Gong is not dead. And that's a good thing.
Now it's pouring rain outside. It was a beautiful night for them to be able to hide in a warm and cozy room and enjoy dinner without worrying about being on a lonely island, as they had done the other day.
However, at this moment, Kitagawa Qingming was suddenly stunned.
Then, the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table, making two crisp sounds.
The next moment...... He fell straight back.
Li Zhen reached out and caught her. When the person loses consciousness, the muscles can't move, so the whole weight is pressed on Li Zhen's arms. He subconsciously bowed, retreated slightly, and hugged her in his arms.
Then I saw two blush on her cheeks, and her lips were so bright that they looked like they were about to bleed. And the eyes are slightly closed, and the eyelashes tremble slightly...... It seems that he is trying to endure some kind of torture.
It happened without warning.
Li Zhen was shocked, and put her on the ground and put his hand on her neck.
The heart beats fast and the body temperature is high.
I've never heard her say she's uncomfortable before...... What's going on?
He called out to her twice in a low voice.
Kitagawa Harumi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he reopened his eyes.
Li Zhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He thinks...... It was another Haruaki Kitagawa who woke up.
But things weren't what he thought. The first thing Beichuan said after opening his eyes was-
"Head...... It hurts. ”
In this tone, it seems impossible to be the king of ice, snow and wind.
Li Zhen tried to slowly help her up, and asked uneasily, "What's wrong?" Where does it hurt? Since when? ”
Beichuan stood up with his hand, sat on the chair, and pressed his forehead with his hand: "I passed out just now?" I don't know what to say—it seems like someone has suddenly pricked me in the head...... Obviously I'm going to have a good ...... today."
Li Zhen leaned over and looked at her for a moment. Suddenly, without saying anything about the floor, she leaned in.
Kitagawa Qingming was taken aback, and a flame suddenly rose on his face: "...... What are you doing? ”
But Li Zhen said in a low voice: "Don't move. I'll look into your eyes. ”
Then he stretched out his hand to open Kitagawa Harumi's eyelids.
The little misunderstanding just now almost made her lose her strength, and it wasn't until the other party carefully examined it and took two steps back that she calmed down a little. But still embarrassed, he asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
However, Li Zhen didn't care about her tone. Instead, he turned around and paced a few more steps before looking at her with a solemn face: "Didn't I tell you that you drank my blood on the island. ”
"She drank it." Haruaki Kitagawa said. But then she realized that there was no point in dwelling on the problem right now - two people always shared the same body.
Li Zhen looked at her, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "It should be decisive...... I also have my blood in my body. But something may be wrong with him. Perhaps, he didn't suppress ......"
Kitagawa looked at him stunned. After a long while, he whispered, "You mean ......"
"I thought it would be fine. Sky. Li Zhen felt that he had a headache, and he felt that he couldn't face the gaze of Beichuan Qingming in front of him. But he still had to continue, "It was the blood that went directly into Ying Ran's wound and saved him." But on the island, you ...... She drank it. At that time, I didn't know that there was a problem with the Dao Ying, and I thought that with the strength of the Ice King, it should be no big deal, and I still felt that it was ...... It always has to go through the digestive system, and after all, it is just blood, so it may be digested and absorbed. But ......"
“…… I suspect there's something wrong with my blood. ”
The flush on Kitagawa Harumi's face gradually faded. She looked at Li Zhen for a while, and said in a low voice, "Will I become the way you used to be?" Losing your mind? ”
There was no expression on her face. But this made Li Zhen even more uneasy. He grinned reluctantly: "I looked at you just now, but it didn't turn yellow." But ......"
"Or is it not what you think? Maybe I'm sick? ”
Li Zhen pursed his lips: "Have you felt anything else lately?" Where does it hurt or where does it numb? ”
Beichuan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said slowly: "My hand hurts." Wrist pain. ”
"Anything else?"
"Sometimes I feel like I don't have the strength to do anything. Will want to throw up. ”
Li Zhen's face changed, he took a few steps closely, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
However, Kitagawa Harumi suddenly stood up from his chair, stared at his eyes for several seconds, and turned to go upstairs without saying a word.
Li Zhen opened his mouth, but still didn't call her.
Because he could understand the other party's sudden anger. In fact, this Haruaki Kitagawa has already done extremely well - no matter how different people are, it is impossible to do better than her.
From the moment she got off the plane and set foot on Japanese soil, everything was out of her control. Fugitive, Island, Wanted, Philippines ...... In fact, these things have nothing to do with her at all - they were all made by Li Zhen and that one. However, she was forced to accept such a mess after waking up, but she never complained.
Or in her heart, she feels that the "dual personality" is her own problem and cannot be blamed on others. However......
Li Zhen knew that when he fed the blood of another Beichuan on the isolated island, he had never asked for the opinion of this one.
Sky...... Such a complicated thing. He shook his head and sat limply in his chair.
The food on the table was still steaming. However, he had no appetite at all. He only hoped that he had really misjudged - it was Kitagawa Harumi who was sick.
But how could it be so coincidental? I was healthy a few days ago, but there are so many problems in the past few days?
He sat alone for more than ten minutes, and he didn't have the courage to go upstairs and talk to her again. In the end, he had to put all the food in the refrigerator and go to the kitchen - but Kitagawa Harumi cleaned up as usual, and he didn't know what to do.
After another hour or so, he walked upstairs lightly, knocked twice in front of Beichuan's room door as he passed by, and whispered, "I...... Slept. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to call me. ”
"Hmm." There was a low answer from the door.
Li Zhen thought about it and went back to his room.
The rain outside was still clattering, and the thunder was one after another. Li Zhen stared at the ceiling with his hands on his pillows, not knowing what to do with Lu Dao - at least not knowing how Lu Dao would face her tomorrow. Eventually, he let out a long sigh of helplessness, hoping that the other one would show up soon—or that the two of them would find a solution.
