Chapter 64: No Peace
After Huo Lingxiao learned the news of Huo Lingshen's assassination, he hurried to the Eleventh Prince's Mansion.
Before anyone heard it, as soon as he entered the door, he heard Huo Lingshen reprimanding the black-armored guards sharply.
He strode forward, stopped Huo Lingshen, and said softly: "Eleventh brother, your injury is critical, go into the house." ”
Supporting Huo Lingshen, he glanced at the leader of the ironclad guards, and the leader consciously led everyone to kneel in front of the hall. No longer paying too much attention, Huo Lingxiao and Huo Lingshen entered the house.
The doctor in the house is leading his assistant to bandage Wei Xiyue's wounds, but fortunately, although there are many wounds, none of them hurt the vital point, as long as he is good at life, he will be fine in the future.
After Huo Lingshen entered the room, he walked straight to the chair by the window, he sat in this shadow, restrained his usual cynicism, and his expression was obscure.
Seeing him like this, Huo Lingxiao sighed, and it was inconvenient to say more, just stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looking at the black-armored guards in the courtyard, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I've seen the Third Highness and the Eleventh Highness." Seeing that the doctor had finished bandaging and standing aside with his hands down, Huo Lingxiao came back to his senses and ordered him to step forward to treat Huo Lingshen's wounds.
"Hiss-" The moment the fabric lifted away from the wound, Huo Lingshen gasped.
"Third brother, will she also be in pain?" He asked thoughtlessly.
Knowing the guilt in Huo Lingshen's heart, Huo Lingxiao sighed, touched the top of his hair, and said nothing.
Staring at the doctor's treatment of Huo Lingshen's wounds, Huo Lingxiao spoke again: "Eleventh brother, I will investigate this matter clearly, you can recuperate with peace of mind, leave this matter to me, you don't have to think about it." ”
Hearing the third brother's words, Huo Lingshen nodded slightly, and his eyes never left the door of the inner room.
Seeing Huo Lingshen staring at the inner room, Huo Lingxiao also looked at him with his eyes, and the doctor also retreated by himself after writing down the precautions on the paper, and for a while, the room was silent.
"Third Highness, Eleventh Highness, Miss Wei is awake and wants to see you two." The maid who took care of Wei Xiyue walked out of the inner room, breaking the silence of the room.
When Huo Lingshen heard this, he hurriedly got up and rushed to the inner room. Huo Lingxiao followed behind him, and ordered the maid to prepare according to the precautions written by the doctor on the table, and also lifted the curtain and entered the inner room.
In the inner room, Huo Lingshen held his hands, as if he was a little at a loss, not knowing how to face Wei Xiyue.
Seeing Huo Lingshen behaving like this, Wei Xiyue leaned on the head of the bed, smiled weakly on her pale face, and said comfortingly: "Your Highness Eleven, I'm fine, fighting on the battlefield a few years ago is a common thing, Your Highness doesn't have to worry." ”
When Huo Lingxiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart, he opened his mouth and was about to say something, Wei Xiyue heard the footsteps, raised his eyes and saw Huo Lingxiao coming, so he said to Huo Lingshen: "Your Highness is also injured, go back to the room to rest as soon as possible, so as not to pull the wound." ”
Seeing that Wei Xiyue had given him an eviction order, Huo Lingshen was inconvenient to stay longer, and returned to his room unwillingly.
After Huo Lingshen left, Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao looked at each other speechlessly, and after a while, Huo Lingxiao spoke: "Xiyue, what is the discomfort of the wound?" ”
Knowing that Wei Xiyue was a person who was unwilling to complain, he continued: "In front of me, Xiyue doesn't have to hide it, I understand everything. ”
Wei Xiyue wanted to perfunctory the past, but listening to Huo Lingxiao's words, she also took off her always strong disguise, and couldn't help but leak a little grievance on her face.
"Third Highness..."Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Huo Lingxiao.
"Xiyue, the relationship between you and me is like this, you don't have to be so unfamiliar, you can just call me the third brother like Ling Shen."
When Wei Xiyue heard this, her heart was even more moved, since her father left, no one has given her such a reliance like her father, and now, she is no longer the pillar that supports a family from the sky, and she can occasionally take off her mask and hide behind her "brother" to lick her wounds.
"Third brother...", her eyes were hot, and she hurriedly lowered her head to cover up.
The two of them didn't talk about it, and after Huo Lingxiao ordered Wei Xiyue to have a good rest, he turned around and went to Huo Lingshen's room.
"Eleventh brother, you don't usually look like people who would go to see such entertainment, how did you come up with a whim to go out of the city today?"
After Huo Lingxiao asked, he also sensed that something was wrong, "Vaguely... It was vaguely Yan San'er chatting that day, and I heard it in one ear......" Huo Lingshen tried to recall.
The junior of the Yan family, the son of the servant of the ministry, Huo Lingxiao silently recited this name, is this matter related to the servant of the ministry?
Escorting Wei Xiyue back to the Wei Mansion, Huo Lingxiao began to investigate the matter.
The assassination of Huo Lingshen even alarmed the queen mother in the palace. The Queen Mother has watched Huo Lingshen grow up since she was a child, and when she treated Huo Lingshen, she was really afraid of melting in her mouth, holding it in the palm of her hand for fear of falling, and when she heard that Huo Lingshen was assassinated, she was really scared to lose six of her seven tricks, and she couldn't wait to leave the palace immediately and see her baby grandson with her own eyes.
The people around her persuaded the old man not to be so excited, and the queen mother turned around the hall one hundred and eighty times, which can be regarded as fixed, "Go, call the queen." ”
After that, it was easy to settle down a little and sit down in the chair. After the queen arrived, the old lady did not wait for the queen to salute, and beckoned the queen to come forward.
The queen was confused, but she still stepped forward according to her words. "What did the queen mother order her sons to come for?"
The old lady spoke quickly, and the queen listened attentively. was worried about the eleventh prince, and was very grateful to Wei Xiyue for her righteous act, and asked the queen to reward him.
"The queen mother is relieved, the son has already ordered the imperial doctor to go to Ling Shen's mansion and ordered him to take care of it carefully." The queen echoed the queen mother and her old man, "Miss Wei, I don't know if there is anything to reward in the harem, I will reward it with the queen mother, and I will also have more noodles for Miss Wei." ”
The queen mother only cared about Huo Lingshen, and handed over everything to the queen to prepare, and the queen went to prepare carefully, she also appreciated Wei Xiyue very much in her heart, and she was naturally quite grateful for Wei Xiyue's move.
After Wei Xiyue returned to the house, she tossed and injured today, and it was inconvenient to move, but she Yunying was not married, so it was really inconvenient to take it to the Eleventh Prince's Mansion, so she had no choice but to return to the Wei Mansion.
I thought I could go back to the courtyard to have a good rest, but I didn't think that as soon as I returned home, I saw the old lady's close maid waiting outside the second gate. What is this to do, she is tired in her heart, and she is too lazy to deal with the old lady.
"Sister Yue'er, today's move is a good story in Beijing for a while." Seeing the old lady's eyes full of intentions, as well as these pretended intimate words, Wei Xiyue was even more tired.
She lifted her eyelids and glanced at the old lady, "Grandmother, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
Choked by Wei Xiyue, the old lady couldn't hold back a little on her face, she paused, forced to be kind, and said: "Sister Yue'er saved the prince today, and someone will come to reward her in the palace in the near future, which is a great honor for our Wei Mansion, Sister Yue'er, you have to take advantage of it." ”
Hearing this, Wei Xiyue sneered in her heart, it is really "Zhong Wuyan has nothing to do, and Xia Yingchun has nothing to do", this virtue of taking credit for himself is really the same as in his previous life.
She also disdained to play Tai Chi with the old lady, and said bluntly: "You often say that the prince of heaven and earth, as a courtier, it is my duty to protect the eleventh prince, what face do I have to ask for a reward?" ”
He didn't say anything back, turned around and left.
"It's... This! The old lady pointed to Wei Xiyue's departing back, and her hands trembled with anger.
After returning to the courtyard, the palace envoy sent by the queen had also arrived. Seeing Wei Xiyue come back, the palace envoy was overjoyed.
"Congratulations to the girl, congratulations to the girl, the two palaces are full of praise for the girl, no, the queen mother and the queen mother will let the slaves quickly send the reward." The palace envoy looked flattering, bowed down and smiled: "The queen mother also ordered the slave to tell you that she wants you to take care of it." ”
Wei Xiyue ordered Xiaohuan to step forward to accept the reward, and between the two, a sachet slid into the hands of the palace envoy, and the palace envoy weighed the weight of the sachet, and the smile on his face was even more earnest.
Entering the room, Wei Xiyue fell heavily on the couch, completely ignoring the wounds, and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing Wei Xiyue return to the courtyard, Liu wanted to inquire about today's situation, but seeing that she was so tired, he didn't come forward to bother anymore, but just ordered to go down and order his subordinates to prepare hot water.
It just so happened that at this time, the maid reported that Wei Qingxue, the third room, came to visit, and knew that Wei Xiyue had already fallen asleep, and the Liu family was unwilling to wake Wei Xiyue up, so she had to greet her.
Wei Qingxue was also a little surprised when she saw the Liu family, but after thinking about it, it was unfortunate that she came, and Wei Xiyue was afraid that she had already fallen asleep.
The two of them exchanged a few words of greeting, Wei Qingxue put down the tonic and left.
After the Liu family settled down, he hurried to Wei Xiyue's room. Seeing that Wei Xiyue hadn't even changed her coat, she fell on the bed, this was not Xiyue's style, she was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Wei Xiyue's body.
Wei Xiyue's cheeks were flushed, but they had already burned, and when she touched her neck, it was extremely hot, and Liu was annoyed in her heart, her daughter has always been sensible, but this is not the reason why she didn't take care of it earlier.
She summoned her subordinates, washed and changed Wei Xiyue, and then placed her well, then moved the chaise longue by the window to the bed, and stared at her for a moment.
In the middle of the night, Liu Shi felt a wind blowing, she struggled to get up, but saw that the window was closed, touched Wei Xiyue's forehead, changed the handkerchief on her forehead, leaned on the head of the bed with her chin, and fell asleep in a daze.
Outside the window, Huo Lingxiao looked at the flickering candle flame in Wei Xiyue's room, thinking about what the emperor said today, and sighed in his heart.
Knowing the line of the servant, he wanted to investigate it carefully, but before it could be fully started, he was called to the palace.
Recalling his father's remarks of "taking into account the overall situation", he was extremely sarcastic in his heart, treating his own flesh and blood like this, and treating the people of Nali, it is not difficult to think about why it is like that.
But where do you stand? He laughed to himself and flew away.
Time flies, two days have passed, Wei Xiyue just woke up slowly, looked at the blue and black under Liu's eyes, and knew that her mother must have taken care of her for two days, and she was grateful.
Knowing the news that Wei Xiyue woke up, Huo Lingshen hurried to the Wei Mansion, lowered his head, and stood quietly in front of Wei Xiyue's bed, without saying much.
Wei Xiyue knew what he was thinking, and only said that these small injuries were not enough to worry about, who would have thought that the more Huo Lingshen heard her say this, the more distressed he became.
